Speaker 3: of in general.
Speaker 4: Check out, you dude, there's like hundreds of videos on there.
Speaker 1: The videos are on there and hundreds at least hundreds.
Speaker 4: I mean, you can watch it all day.
Speaker 1: Some failed videos on YouTube. YouTube fail videos.
Speaker 4: That's what Lady dancing who falls down? Okay, there's more
Speaker 4: than one. There's more than one. That's happened a lot.
Speaker 1: I find that hard to believe.
Speaker 4: Okay, no, but you guys have my videos.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so is it your such history? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Am I search history?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: My sarch history is always videos because okay, I don't know,
Speaker 4: because I'm a shut in. Yeah, all right, So we
Speaker 4: have shut ins, no offense taking some of the best
Speaker 4: of us on behalf of the shut ins none taken.
Speaker 4: All right, so great time, So shut in renaissance.
Speaker 1: You said two videos, and watch them both. The second
Speaker 1: one I think I immediately zoomed in on what you
Speaker 1: uh had in mind. The first one, I got to admit,
Speaker 1: I'm a little baffled by, uh.
Speaker 4: What the actual footage of Bigfoot?
Speaker 1: What it is is that?
Speaker 4: Where are you baffled? I guess you're baffled by the
Speaker 4: back I guess something forward, something that exists exists confusing.
Speaker 1: So, uh, suproducer Bay, are you able to bring up
Speaker 1: the first video LinkedIn act to under the heading crofton
Speaker 1: video block exclamation point. It is titled Paul Freeman big
Speaker 1: Foot Footage.
Speaker 4: I can give you a little background on it. Paul
Speaker 4: Freeman is this guy who is uh, he's like become
Speaker 4: known for this video he shot it in nineteen ninety four,
Speaker 4: and it's he'd been tracking Bigfoot for a long time
Speaker 4: and he one day he was hanging around this logging
Speaker 4: camp where he found some footprints and then he saw Bigfoot.
Speaker 4: I'm less less interested in the fact that he saw Bigfoot,
Speaker 4: and I'm more interested in what he said, there he
Speaker 4: goes and Jesus, because those are the two I have
Speaker 4: been saying those all the time now anytime I see anything,
Speaker 4: I go there, he goes Jesus. So this is I'm
Speaker 4: hoping this lend up on some soundboard for the daily guys.
Speaker 4: That's really what this is about. This is also extremely
Speaker 4: real and compelling bigfoot footage. And then the last like
Speaker 4: three weeks, I've gone fully I'm fully convinced that Bigfoot
Speaker 4: is real. And I mean that did seriously. Yeah, but
Speaker 4: but but but I fluctuate. Then you might catch me
Speaker 4: in a couple other weeks and I'll be like, you know, maybe,
Speaker 4: but right now I'm convinced. So anyway, Paul Paul Paul Freeman,
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety four, somewhere in Washington State.
Speaker 3: I think this was shot in downtown Chicago in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: And you can tell it's nineteen ninety four by Paul Freeman.
Speaker 1: Because it is copyright.
Speaker 4: Oh man, if you find Bigfoot, you get to copyright.
Speaker 4: I mean you slap a copy. People will say, oh,
Speaker 4: we copyrighted it. That means it's fake. That means just
Speaker 4: exactly blake.
Speaker 1: It seems like a POV shot taken from inside a
Speaker 1: Bigfoot costume. Like that was my first I was like,
Speaker 1: is this bigfoot? Like when he says big foot footage,
Speaker 1: is it bigfoot?
Speaker 4: We're really listening for?
Speaker 1: There?
Speaker 3: He goes, Jesus, this has nothing to do really with
Speaker 3: big Foot.
Speaker 1: He's just it's the ground.
Speaker 4: You can hear the brush popping, he says, I can
Speaker 4: hear the brush popping.
Speaker 1: Uh huh. Here we go, all right, and there we go,
Speaker 1: camera up and then there goes Bigfoot.
Speaker 4: Wait, there was you missed it?
Speaker 3: The two only good things I got it?
Speaker 1: There he goes.
Speaker 4: There go Jesus, can we take it back?
Speaker 6: There?
Speaker 4: He goes Jesus, because the rest of it is get up.
Speaker 3: Here not really a hill by the way, right, better.
Speaker 4: Listen. One of the requirements if you want to see
Speaker 4: Bigfoot you have to have COPD.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm like so worried about this guy's cardiovascular health.
Speaker 3: This guy has a wake apnea. What is going on?
Speaker 4: So that's it. It's it's really good footage. You have
Speaker 4: a bigfoot and and really, I mean it's I just
Speaker 4: was hoping we could get that, you know. There he goes, there,
Speaker 4: goes on a loop on a loop. He also says,
Speaker 4: I hear that brush popping, which I if we don't
Speaker 4: play it anymore, that's fine. But that's what you guys
Speaker 4: should look for. You should go on YouTube and put
Speaker 4: in like you know, it's put in any animal that
Speaker 4: you're looking for, and then you bigfoot or you know,
Speaker 4: you can find you can find any any animal, dog, yeah,
Speaker 4: crypto animals, you know, fake animal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul Freeman, famous bigfoot hunter. Is that what I'm
Speaker 1: to understand?
Speaker 4: And I mean yeah, he's just a persistent the guy
Speaker 4: who hangs around the woods, you know. And and and
Speaker 4: bigfoot is uh is like it looks just like a tree.
Speaker 4: I mean, it looks just like a tree. It's as
Speaker 4: tall as a tree too, so it hides out pretty well,
Speaker 4: you know. And and let's Chris, Yes, he didn't look
Speaker 4: that tall to me.
Speaker 1: That bigfoot didn't look that tall to me.
Speaker 4: Armchair, armchair quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: I just I would have shot him differently. I would
Speaker 1: have shot him from down down yea, yeah, maybe no.
Speaker 4: But I believe that is the most convincing because that
Speaker 4: guy is like not good running the camera. He's not.
Speaker 4: He's not like he's didn't get set himself up. Well,
Speaker 4: he's not like he's wheezing and heaving and everything and
Speaker 4: he can't. He's not like he's if he was faking mad,
Speaker 4: he would have probably composed himself a little bit right.
Speaker 4: But it is the exact same quality of image as
Speaker 4: the Bigfoot photograph that we're familiar with, Like it's just
Speaker 4: it's exactly that blurry. It feels like, yeah, I mean
Speaker 4: it's a even I just love looking at weird stuff.
Speaker 4: So I mean that to me is like I think
Speaker 4: that is a real Bigfoot and based on I mean,
Speaker 4: I've done a lot of research on this video. Like
Speaker 4: I don't just watch a video. I take a couple
Speaker 4: of days with a video and I find out about
Speaker 4: Paul Freeman and I get an idea of his character
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. So I understand, Jack, I agree,
Speaker 4: like you know, like you know, you know that's like
Speaker 4: whatever you said about it, well, no, yeah, whatever, disrespect
Speaker 4: you heaped on my friend Bigfoot. I've forgotten. But but
Speaker 4: but but anyway, the idea is that, yeah, these things
Speaker 4: look bad, but I mean Bigfoot does not does not
Speaker 4: look good. He's a shaggy Yeah, he's got kind of
Speaker 4: a small head. His head's not. His body's way bigger
Speaker 4: than his head. He has no yeah, they have no melogenic.
Speaker 1: The secret to being telegenic, they say, is having a
Speaker 1: head that's too big for your body. Like when you
Speaker 1: meet and covered, yes, and covered in hair, but you
Speaker 1: meet actors, they all have like massive heads. Like it's
Speaker 1: the first thing you notice about them is like, wow,
Speaker 1: your head is.
Speaker 4: You're You're right. So Bigfoot's gotten is working against the.
Speaker 1: Lot, working against the grain. He's got a lot going against.
Speaker 4: He's got a humongous body in a small head, which
Speaker 4: is terrible, lives in the woods.
Speaker 1: Looks like shiite, humongous body head. Look how fat.
Speaker 4: Quick shout out to Rocky Mountain Bigfoot. Uh if that's
Speaker 4: the correct sight. But there's one called Rocky Mountain Bigfoot
Speaker 4: where they have a video which I should have shown
Speaker 4: because I mean, this one turns out to be a dud.
Speaker 4: It seems like but you gotta we got to end
Speaker 4: up with the soundboard where the guy says that, because
Speaker 4: that's the part it's and that's why it's real. That
Speaker 4: guy is not if he was acting, he would have
Speaker 4: been My goodness, that thing is huge or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 4: in studies, like and then he's like, I mean, do
Speaker 4: you think this guy, Paul Freeman doesn't wish he'd said
Speaker 4: something better than there?
Speaker 1: He goes Jesus genuinely scared when he says, Jesus.
Speaker 4: Well, he's a legit guy who spent spent most of
Speaker 4: his life just doing the standard plaster cast of of tracks,
Speaker 4: and then one day he got lucky, and then you know,
Speaker 4: and then he slaps the copyright on it, and then
Speaker 4: cue the haters, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, que the haters and que the money rolling in.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, but I've gotten deep into Rocky Mountain. I
Speaker 4: think it's Rocky Mountain. I'll look it up while we're talking. Uh,
Speaker 4: you know, but you guys are like, oh good, look
Speaker 4: it up.
Speaker 3: Well, while you're looking that up, Chris, how big would
Speaker 3: a bigfoot have to be for it to be as
Speaker 3: impressed as we want him to be? Like, you would
Speaker 3: have to be over seven foot, right, Like could there
Speaker 3: be a basket, Like, he can't be in the sixes as.
Speaker 1: Long as he looks as long as he is the
Speaker 1: size of somebody who when you meet them, you're like,
Speaker 1: did you sorry, I do have to ask, did you
Speaker 1: play basketball? You know?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like yeah, yeah, they he bigfoot needs to at
Speaker 1: least look like he hooped a little bit. Yeah, that's and.
Speaker 4: Like he was a drummer for the Allman Brothers band
Speaker 4: or something and.
Speaker 7: Not in that order.
Speaker 1: And for me to be honest, for me, that line
Speaker 1: is six foot four. That's after six foot six foot four.
Speaker 1: I'm like, so, did you play like basketball or like
Speaker 1: after six four is like pretty for me? Six four
Speaker 1: scans tall to me. Maybe it's because I live in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and like they're you know.
Speaker 3: People are shorter in LA. And I do feel like
Speaker 3: I'm not just saying that, Yeah, they are shorter.
Speaker 4: They are seven feet you know, generally around seven. But
Speaker 4: then there's people who say there twelve feet. And that's
Speaker 4: when people get even bigfoot, people who believe in Bigfoot.
Speaker 4: It's everyone's picky about there, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: Like they're like okay, yeah, they're like okay, like twink
Speaker 4: foot's real, but they're not twelve feet tall. There's a
Speaker 4: bunch of people who said they saw twelve feet foot
Speaker 4: tall bigfoot, so they obviously need a pair of glasses.
Speaker 4: Like they get really like they're like people are really
Speaker 4: people are really particular about their Yeah, things they don't
Speaker 4: believe in, and like even the things they do believe in,
Speaker 4: they're like, yeah, that's not a bigfoots are seven feet
Speaker 4: to eight feet tall, and these reports about twelve foot
Speaker 4: that's just someone who's drunk. Yeah, yeah, that's a personal
Speaker 4: just understand, but generally big fool.
Speaker 1: But this is.
Speaker 4: But I will say that arguing about how big Bigfoot
Speaker 4: is beats being a fascist any day of the week.
Speaker 4: So I am glad that there are people who are still,
Speaker 4: you know, concerned about how tall Bigfoot is instead of
Speaker 4: concerned with, like, you know, privatizing the post office.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, gotta do it, deregulate, Chris.
Speaker 4: Let's measure big foot have a big foot than big government.
Speaker 3: Can we say that that's my that's yeah.
Speaker 1: That's a great sticker, And that's the way is a libertarian, Chris,
Speaker 1: That's something I understand about.
Speaker 3: I'm not a Republican. I'm a libertarian. Oh correct, and
Speaker 3: I'm a libertarian.
Speaker 4: I wish there was I wish well. Actually I was
Speaker 4: about to say, I wish that you were a libertarian
Speaker 4: so we could I don't. Yeah, that doesn't make any
Speaker 4: sense at all. Ye, I was just say we could
Speaker 4: have a fight or something. But that's just me being caffeinated.
Speaker 1: Andrew. We do like to ask our guests, what's something
Speaker 1: from your search? History?
Speaker 5: History history, motherfuckers, get right? Yeah, I searched for well,
Speaker 5: so I went to five holiday parties but really Christmas
Speaker 5: parties in two no, three days? Whoa too much? And
Speaker 5: I also sort of volunteered to cook too much? And
Speaker 5: I added on an additional cooking thing yesterday for no
Speaker 5: real sensible reason. But the first one was some of
Speaker 5: my friends new friends Ish who moved here from London.
Speaker 5: So they're fucking English as fuck. Yeah, they had a
Speaker 5: Christmas roast.
Speaker 1: Are they new Ish or they're your friend's Ish?
Speaker 7: No, they're new Ish friends.
Speaker 1: Okay, very nice? Yeah, okay, but there you know they've
Speaker 1: they've only been.
Speaker 5: Here a year and change.
Speaker 1: I think I just wanted to clarify for their sake,
Speaker 1: because in these that you're friends with similar age.
Speaker 3: The red coats that you're friends with lobster bags.
Speaker 5: So yeah, i'd say probably, I don't actually know they're
Speaker 5: They're not like good enough friends that I know everyone's age.
Speaker 3: No, that's not true.
Speaker 5: I went to a birthday party that I didn't pay
Speaker 5: attention to what was happening.
Speaker 3: Actually, one of them said, candles. To be honest, there
Speaker 3: is an age okay, dispeedibly in age.
Speaker 5: I just don't remember it. But I thought I would
Speaker 5: get cute and make a English trifle okay for dessert.
Speaker 5: And then I just because I clearly have too much
Speaker 5: time on my hands, I thought, oh, instead of doing
Speaker 5: just fucking pudding, I'll like get this stuff. And this
Speaker 5: is where my searchestor comes in, called bird's custard powder,
Speaker 5: which is the shit you're supposed to use to make
Speaker 5: English trifle. It's that kind of it's thinner than pudding,
Speaker 5: and it comes in a little you.
Speaker 7: Know, it's powder.
Speaker 5: It's basically cornstarch and another stabilizer powder. And what I
Speaker 5: learned about myself and America and the rest of the
Speaker 5: world because I made a badge and I did not
Speaker 5: realize that because America is America and the rest of
Speaker 5: the world is the rest of the world. Bird's custard
Speaker 5: is not inherently sweetened, Like it has fanilla flavoring, but
Speaker 5: no sugar in it, so it is not sweetened. And
Speaker 5: I just assume every other prepack mix in America, even
Speaker 5: shit you don't want to have sugar, has a fuckload
Speaker 5: of sugar in it. So this was disgusting, and I
Speaker 5: ruined my first batch of trifle, which was like, honestly
Speaker 5: like kind of a lot of ingredients when.
Speaker 1: It So it's disgusting, But you made it the way
Speaker 1: that it was intended to be made or.
Speaker 5: No, I just didn't. I was just like, obviously, this
Speaker 5: has sugar in it.
Speaker 4: It's a mix, okay.
Speaker 5: So I just I just kind of like skimmed it.
Speaker 5: And I didn't clock that you're basically supposed to put
Speaker 5: in as much sugar as powder.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 5: This is also fucked up when you think about a
Speaker 5: box of jella and it was the final result of
Speaker 5: that was still less.
Speaker 3: Sweet than just like your average jello pudding. Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: you like, is that do you enjoy cooking or is
Speaker 3: this something?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm pretty I'm pretty pretty good at like the
Speaker 5: big a big cooking thing, like doing a lot of stuff.
Speaker 5: So also on yesterday, that was Friday, and then yesterday
Speaker 5: I made lasagna for my friend's lasagna party, which was
Speaker 5: too much. And then because I had borrowed the trifle
Speaker 5: dish in the first place, and I was going to
Speaker 5: return it to my friend, and I still had a
Speaker 5: fuckload of bird's custard powder and like all this milk
Speaker 5: that I didn't really want around, I made another trifle
Speaker 5: and put it in the dish to return it.
Speaker 1: Now, what is the I actually looked up what a
Speaker 1: trifle was like over the weekend for some reason, like
Speaker 1: my kids, maybe there was a song that mentioned the
Speaker 1: trifle or something like that. I forget why, but we
Speaker 1: were looking trifling.
Speaker 3: It's bills, bills, bills. Yeah, okay, that's right.
Speaker 1: We were listening to bills, bill bills.
Speaker 5: So that was the other thing that I didn't search
Speaker 5: but I probably should have, which is, how does fucking
Speaker 5: trifling derive? Presumably from trifle, because the trifle, as far
Speaker 5: as I can tell, is humongouss and labor intensive, and
Speaker 5: I mean, it's ultimately not my favorite, but trifling seems
Speaker 5: much worse than that. And and there's a smallness implied
Speaker 5: in trifling.
Speaker 3: It's flavor.
Speaker 1: It's a mere trifle, but a mere trifle.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but this trifle dish was like easily a gallon
Speaker 5: worth of putting whipped cream, cake, port jam and fruit.
Speaker 7: Wow, it's fucking crazy.
Speaker 5: I put in I got.
Speaker 3: Costco alcohol on Jesus Christ blake, which, yeah, like Custard's
Speaker 3: last stand over there. Yeah, call your co host an alcoholic.
Speaker 3: Is this something that you called Miles a drug addic? Huh,
Speaker 3: because he is one?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we can anyway, that's a that's a fucking trible trifle.
Speaker 5: Is just like a big ass, fucking custardy mess. It's good,
Speaker 5: I think, but it is one of those things where
Speaker 5: you're like, this is this is fucking ridiculous. I guess
Speaker 5: it's most similar to like a pre made strawberry shortcake
Speaker 5: in flavor profile, you know, like the like kind of
Speaker 5: like when you buy of a strawberry shortcake that's been
Speaker 5: sitting in a in a cooler.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I just remember what it was. It's a
Speaker 1: book called children's book called The Worst Children, Part two
Speaker 1: the World's Worst Children Too, And it talked about a
Speaker 1: baby that eats a trifle and they make it seem
Speaker 1: like it's a big, a big amount of thing that
Speaker 1: he's eaten. Which, yeah, that that's why I looked it up.
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, does a trifle like big?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I was having the same exact experience with you via
Speaker 1: David Williams is the World's Worst Children Too.
Speaker 7: We're gonna do.
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna if you're on YouTube and you're getting
Speaker 5: a preview, but this is like, you know, the closest
Speaker 5: size comparison that you make.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what made.
Speaker 1: Damn So this one's not going up on YouTube, but
Speaker 1: uh I wish it was now because I was a beautiful,
Speaker 1: beautiful cake.
Speaker 3: I mean it's not.
Speaker 5: It's just like a huge It's just like if a
Speaker 5: pudding like like putting in cake was in a gallon.
Speaker 5: It's like literally a gallon. It's so so much of
Speaker 5: the ship. Yeah, yeah, you got to be a real,
Speaker 5: real British lad, a little little lord to enjoy this?
Speaker 1: Was it? Do you think that they were like originally
Speaker 1: like Trifle being small was like sarcastic trying to figure
Speaker 1: out how they got there.
Speaker 3: British sense the humor, for sure, that is something very funny, underrated.
Speaker 8: Underrated, honestly wandering around in Target, which Target does not
Speaker 8: want me to do because they have locked everything up
Speaker 8: and it used to be like a nice experience. You guys,
Speaker 8: please be proud of me. I just let my prime,
Speaker 8: my Amazon Prime lapse laps, so I'm I'm out of
Speaker 8: the club. But like, you can't go to Target and
Speaker 8: just like buy the stuff you need because everything is locked.
Speaker 8: They don't hire anyone anymore, so there's no one on
Speaker 8: the floor. So you press the button to get like
Speaker 8: or the buzzer to like get an employee to come out.
Speaker 8: No one shows up, so you just stand there for
Speaker 8: ten fifteen minutes, right, and it's just like, what what
Speaker 8: are we what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: So I'm understaffing our stores and then you know, they
Speaker 1: have to deal with the consequences the people on the floor,
Speaker 1: not us, the people who make the decisions about how
Speaker 1: much to staff them. So to answer your question, you
Speaker 1: just answer. So that's just as a Target Target executive, like,
Speaker 1: that's what we're doing. It works out fucking great for
Speaker 1: us in our shareholders. So thank you for asking, no
Speaker 1: further answer.
Speaker 8: No further answers. Having like, so there's three armed guards
Speaker 8: at my Target specifically who.
Speaker 1: Just stand there. Yeah, you're going.
Speaker 8: People are being paid. So that's like a couple hundred
Speaker 8: dollars an hour that they're paying this for this contract, right,
Speaker 8: Like not the employees aren't getting that obviously. The arm
Speaker 8: guards are not getting a couple of hundred dollars an hour,
Speaker 8: but like the contract.
Speaker 7: Get more normal security because they're armed.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, exactly, so they're getting the.
Speaker 1: Company probably gets more. Whoever employees my.
Speaker 7: Contract, I actually make more for like unarmed security gigs. Right,
Speaker 7: But anyway, they're spending money on armed security.
Speaker 8: Instead of on employees, and so there's no and so
Speaker 8: I'm just like what, I don't I don't know what
Speaker 8: I'm supposed to do anymore. This is like part of
Speaker 8: my life for like over a decade, just like wandering
Speaker 8: around Target and it was like kind of pleasant, and
Speaker 8: now it's just like.
Speaker 3: I don't Yeah, I miss it.
Speaker 8: We think you're stealing stuff. Get out, like okay, I
Speaker 8: just won't be here.
Speaker 7: But surely you've heard of the crime wave that's sweeping
Speaker 7: the nation. And I have.
Speaker 8: Heard of this crime wave. Yes, yes, I've.
Speaker 7: Noticed that it's down.
Speaker 8: Your visual down now it's down.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean that's if you look at the data.
Speaker 3: If you don't look at data.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, if you look at some of
Speaker 1: these is going wild.
Speaker 7: If you see some of the ship that Elon retweets,
Speaker 7: I would I wouldn't even go outside to get my newspaper.
Speaker 8: I haven't seen what he's retweeting because I'm.
Speaker 7: Not, But you know what I mean, that ship that
Speaker 7: like where people clearly who like don't actually live in
Speaker 7: any sort of like area where there's any sort of
Speaker 7: diversity or anything. They they whatever, it goes viral on Twitter,
Speaker 7: like and that's earth right now.
Speaker 8: Ring cam footage, It's like, there's right, that's not that's
Speaker 8: not tip. Ringcam footage cannot be like we can we
Speaker 8: can't extrapolate anything from that. It's a one off situation.
Speaker 1: Like everywhere by yeah. Yeah, it's like the everybody's like
Speaker 1: the drivers in Russia are fucking crazy, bro, and it's like, no,
Speaker 1: Russia just has that video. Yeah, dash Russia has a
Speaker 1: lot that every car needs to have a dash cam
Speaker 1: video and so or a dash dashcam camera. That's redundant.
Speaker 1: Every car needs to have a dash can and so there,
Speaker 1: so they're getting every accident and you're just getting every
Speaker 1: single one of them pipes directly to you by the
Speaker 1: algorithm machine. The same shit is happening with crime in
Speaker 1: America and wind cams and we're just people.
Speaker 7: Where was that ship? When I was playing basketball during
Speaker 7: nutrition in high school, I twisted this one kid up
Speaker 7: so bad with a crossover. There were no cameras, I know,
Speaker 7: but if there was, we could we could just zero
Speaker 7: in on that and you would might you might think
Speaker 7: I had a good handle. I do not, Tony.
Speaker 1: What's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 8: The seasonal Frosty's and like the limited time kind.
Speaker 7: Of oh, like a Wendy's Frosty.
Speaker 8: Yeah, like the Wendy's Frosty's, and like the limited time
Speaker 8: desserts that like McDonald's.
Speaker 1: I don't know, they're not doing it for you this
Speaker 1: year or you just don't like them in concept.
Speaker 7: They really fell off.
Speaker 8: I don't They're just not good. Like so I saw
Speaker 8: that they were doing the like salted caramel frosty and
Speaker 8: I was like, oh, I love salted caramel ice cream.
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go check this out. It was atrocious, like
Speaker 8: not not eatable. It's for it's for children, I think
Speaker 8: between the ages of eight and thirteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wow, were like just taste like it's for children
Speaker 1: between the ages of eight and thirteen.
Speaker 8: It's because I have children between the ages of the

Speaker 8: Was like, I mean, I'm like, these are so badhake.
Speaker 8: Did you try to It tasted blueberry ish to me?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was like a blueberry It was like
Speaker 1: a blueberry milkshake. It was like a mix between a
Speaker 1: blueberry smoothie and the milkshake. I actually kind of fucked
Speaker 1: with it, but I yeah, I've never seen a product
Speaker 1: look less interesting. Like the concept of a salty caramel
Speaker 1: smoothie or a salty caramel frosty could be good if
Speaker 1: you were like drizzling salted caramel on a regular frosty
Speaker 1: or something. This was just like a light a bright
Speaker 1: yellow frosty. It's like, why is it so yellow? Guys,
Speaker 1: it's weird nasty.
Speaker 7: They looked like it was sweet if it's not fluorescent right,
Speaker 7: fluorescent color?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it looks like a dull web was into it.
Speaker 8: Yes, it was super straight, like the color was not
Speaker 8: was very off putting. It sort of like if you
Speaker 8: blended a like a slice of pumpkin pie without the
Speaker 8: crust was sort of the color of mine. Yeah, and
Speaker 8: it was just way too sweet. There was no there
Speaker 8: was no salt involved, and it was I was just disappointed. Yeah, guys,
Speaker 8: this could be good.
Speaker 1: Do better. What do you think of the Shamrock shake again?
Speaker 7: It's it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't I recognize as a objective, like
Speaker 1: out completely out of context. I would be like, why
Speaker 1: did you make a toothpaste milkshit? Like this is a
Speaker 1: bad idea, but in season, like I do have memories
Speaker 1: of being like this, this is magical.
Speaker 7: Well this is bra is my Irish heritage. Yeah, but
Speaker 7: you didn't become fully cynical then. I mean, but that was.
Speaker 1: Like high school. I had it in high school and
Speaker 1: I was just like the combination of like the green
Speaker 1: and you know, yeah combination made my eyes. Sham rock
Speaker 1: shake with McDonald's fries. Yeah, So I don't know, I
Speaker 1: I get it. I don't. The salted caramel frosty just
Speaker 1: was was a big whiff for me, just not even
Speaker 1: like I didn't try it, but just seeing the ads
Speaker 1: and they are all over like sports, right, now it
Speaker 1: just doesn't didn't look that good again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, adamn.
Speaker 1: Pie based like a you know, pie based milkshakes, the
Speaker 1: shakesheck does those really well? Like where you have like
Speaker 1: little chunks of like Graham cracker, you got to have texture.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, it's all about texture, like the when you're
Speaker 1: talking salted car like drizzle it drizzle it just a
Speaker 1: little bit.
Speaker 8: Yeah, definitely want to see. There's a local spot here
Speaker 8: in Portland called Burgerville and they do much better dessert
Speaker 8: type things than they have and their stuff is very seasonal,
Speaker 8: but it's it's all from like local spots, so they're
Speaker 8: like very intentional about that. Miles, when you were in
Speaker 8: Seattle and you went to Dix, I was like, oh
Speaker 8: my gosh, I gotta get Miles to Burgerville because if
Speaker 8: you like Dix, you're gonna love Burgerville.
Speaker 7: So yeah, yeah, next time in Portland, I'll hit you up.
Speaker 8: Definitely. It's great. But their little desserts are great and
Speaker 8: they'll do yeah, they'll do like you know, angel food
Speaker 8: cake in the in the summertime when strawberries are in season,
Speaker 8: so it'll be like a little angel food like cake
Speaker 8: shake things.
Speaker 7: Oh oh yeah, what about Portland though they fucking oh yeah,
Speaker 7: we fuck.
Speaker 8: With food and it's great.
Speaker 7: It's amazing, like even to the detriment of the business,
Speaker 7: like it'll be so specific like we might not last
Speaker 7: till next and we did it, but we is clear.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I love it.
Speaker 7: Shout out to the lower like property rental rates because
Speaker 7: I think that's it really enables that kind of entrepreneurship.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and we get a lot of like like food tourism,
Speaker 8: so people like fly up from like the Bay Area
Speaker 8: or come down from Seattle like for the weekend just
Speaker 8: to eat because we have like there's a spot that's
Speaker 8: down the street from me. It's called EM and it's time.
Speaker 8: It's barbecue. That that white barbecue brisket curry.
Speaker 1: That white curry.
Speaker 7: Like life changing, so fucking good, so good, and they're
Speaker 7: and they're blended drinks too.
Speaker 8: Yeah, not mad at them. H We have lots of
Speaker 8: good food.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so much.
Speaker 7: EM is like I always go to eat when I'm important.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, it's it's a must go to con if
Speaker 8: you haven't gone yet. The new Pati restaurant. Uh huh,
Speaker 8: that's good ship. This episode is amazing. You guys love it.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk about more culinary delights in Portland. We'll hear right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back and real quick. Trump seems to be
Speaker 1: doing either either. He's doing something intentionally with his hair
Speaker 1: that suggests that he is like kind of a changed
Speaker 1: person who doesn't who no longer gives a ship, who's
Speaker 1: just like, I'm fucking president, I don't care what.
Speaker 8: Throw a break up, you guys. This is how we
Speaker 8: know that.
Speaker 1: He's like, how do you guys like it?
Speaker 7: I got a curtain, bangs happened.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 7: You know, I've always wanted him, I've always but I
Speaker 7: just figured I needed to change.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it is a new haircut, because like he's definitely
Speaker 7: been pictured like this while golfing and like wandering around
Speaker 7: mar Lago before.
Speaker 1: But is he like more consistently just rolling out with
Speaker 1: his hair like kind of slicked back.
Speaker 7: I don't know. I mean, it's it's hard to know.
Speaker 7: It's it's fucking hard to know with this dude. Like
Speaker 7: half the time it's like an accident. Other times, maybe
Speaker 7: Barren was like gassing him up. He's like, yeah, Dad,
Speaker 7: that ship looks fucking rizzed up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you have you have you heard of s curl?
Speaker 7: Oh my god. Okay, anyway, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 7: know what's going on. It's a sign of things to come.
Speaker 7: It slicked back as though or that's maybe more pushed back,
Speaker 7: doesn't it's blown back.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well it looks like, yeah, it looks like he
Speaker 8: was out in a hurricane and like.
Speaker 7: Jon Voight like really like in really bad shape.
Speaker 1: Like he really looks a lot like a toad in
Speaker 1: this picture with just like kind of little hair on top. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it's not great. I'm worried about our president. Guys. He
Speaker 1: looks like he's not Joe Biden him our president, not your.
Speaker 3: President of the people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do wonder if we're just going to have
Speaker 1: two consecutive terms of brain meltage, like is truck because
Speaker 1: we saw him doing on the trail, right, he's definitely
Speaker 1: on a downward trend. Biden was also heading into his
Speaker 1: But like, I just wonder how pronounced it's going to be,
Speaker 1: because like the Biden fall off was pretty closely contained
Speaker 1: until the debate. You know, it was like he would
Speaker 1: he would say weird ship, he would like get lost
Speaker 1: on stage.
Speaker 5: Sometimes I think we knew.
Speaker 7: I mean we knew.
Speaker 1: To say Trump is like not, He's not going to
Speaker 1: have people around him who can, you know, canin him
Speaker 1: or tell him shit, Like truly, nobody can tell this
Speaker 1: guy ship at this point. Yeah, and it'll be it'll
Speaker 1: be interesting to see if he just starts wandering mar
Speaker 1: Lago with like a golf shirt, hair pushed back, underpants
Speaker 1: and that's like a.
Speaker 7: Preschooler addressing themselves for some ship.
Speaker 8: Yeah, does anyone know where Laurah Lumer is? Second question?
Speaker 1: That's where he's just walking out of a from a meeting,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, meeting.
Speaker 7: During my my illness, I had the most intense dream
Speaker 7: about Laura Lumer.
Speaker 1: And that's how you know you were on death.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's how I knew I was fucked up off
Speaker 7: these I don't know what the fuck was going on.
Speaker 7: I remember going. I was like walking through this house
Speaker 7: and I heard someone crying. I opened a door and
Speaker 7: Laura Lumor was laying down like you know, like a bedroom,
Speaker 7: and she was surrounded. This is how vivid it was
Speaker 7: by these little baby like black widow spiders like they
Speaker 7: had like basically cocoon dam around And I was like, yo,
Speaker 7: what the like as if she'd been laying there for years,
Speaker 7: you know what I mean. The spider's like, fucking we
Speaker 7: live around you now. And then I was like, excuse
Speaker 7: me this lady. And it was Laura Lumer like, oh
Speaker 7: shit she was. She was like, oh my, he's like
Speaker 7: what's going on. I'm like, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Man, thing's going on?
Speaker 4: Go back to I remember.
Speaker 7: I remember I told Hi, I'm like, maybe you should
Speaker 7: just like not be so hateful as ship. That might
Speaker 7: just help you out. Look, that's my one piece of advice.
Speaker 7: And she said, this is how this how she goes
Speaker 7: that is such a good point. See, it's the brown
Speaker 7: people that aren't virgins that have good things to say.
Speaker 7: And I was like, yo, what the fuck is and
Speaker 7: I said and I slammed the fucking door.
Speaker 4: On her and I kept it moving.
Speaker 1: Wow. And I remember it was more mad Geist than me. Man,
Speaker 1: I do not dream about these people.
Speaker 7: I don't know what it was almost, but it was
Speaker 7: just so weird. I was like, what the fuck. I'm like, no, no,
Speaker 7: I'm like, go chill with your fucking black widow spiders.
Speaker 7: And then I got mad at myself for even talking
Speaker 7: to Laura Lumer in the dream I.
Speaker 1: Like this, she was gassing you up a little bit,
Speaker 1: like this guy fucks.
Speaker 7: It's so weird take, I know, but it still had
Speaker 7: to be like this backhanded like racist there.
Speaker 1: And racism, but also being I'm like, see, I can
Speaker 1: tell you, and that's why I want you as part
Speaker 1: of my team. All right, let's talk about Gates real quick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the last few months, it sounded like the House
Speaker 1: Ethics Committee was not going to release the Matt Gates Report,
Speaker 1: the one that got him basically, you know, shit canned
Speaker 1: from being Attorney General just based on you know, party
Speaker 1: line votes, and you know, everybody cocooning around being like
Speaker 1: we got.
Speaker 7: Deteckedorie Taylor Green.
Speaker 1: She's like, yeah, oh you want.
Speaker 7: Him all of us, And you're like what, yes.
Speaker 1: It that one of the strangest flexes where she's like Republicans,
Speaker 1: my fellow Republicans, if you out him, I'm going to
Speaker 1: tell everyone what awful perverted shit you all do. Is
Speaker 1: this thing on?
Speaker 7: Wait?
Speaker 1: Is this thing? Am I talking into a microphone?
Speaker 7: Oh shit?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: But anyways, it now seems like the report will be
Speaker 1: released before Congress goes on their holiday break, after they
Speaker 1: voted in secret this month.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so CNN or I think CNN maybe did the
Speaker 7: first reporting that, like, hey they just they did a
Speaker 7: secret vote and it's dropping. And I think the surprising
Speaker 7: thing here is like you're saying, Jack, like, based on
Speaker 7: party line votes, they were blocking this ship. But now
Speaker 7: sounds like a few Republicans are like, man, fuck it,
Speaker 7: bro let this dickhead get his and have switched sided
Speaker 7: with the Democrats and they had the votes to release it.
Speaker 7: Gates's response to the news is holy shit, Yeah.
Speaker 8: Very normal. I'm very normal behavior, very normal behavior.
Speaker 7: So this is just based on him hearing that the
Speaker 7: ethics report is going to be announced.
Speaker 4: He said the Biden Guard.
Speaker 7: This is from his Twitter because now they let you
Speaker 7: post like seven thousand words. He basically said, I was
Speaker 7: charged with nothing, fully exonerated. First of all, you weren't
Speaker 7: charging it because they were investigating you. That doesn't mean
Speaker 7: you were exonerated. So let's let's put.
Speaker 1: All it's just a lie. There's nothing I mean yet
Speaker 1: I get.
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't know. It's like Schrodinger's like ethics
Speaker 7: report basically not even a campaign finance violation. And the
Speaker 7: people investigating investigating me hated me.
Speaker 1: They were like, I like the big denial and then
Speaker 1: picking a very specific thing and being like I didn't
Speaker 1: even do that thing. I wasn't being investigated for.
Speaker 7: Then the very quote witnesses djan DJ deemed not credible
Speaker 7: were assembled by House Ethics to repeat their claims absent
Speaker 7: any cross examination or challenge for me or my attorneys.
Speaker 7: I've had no chance to ever confront any accusers. I've
Speaker 7: never been charged, I've never been sued. Instead, how House
Speaker 7: Ethics will reportedly post to report online that I have
Speaker 7: no opportunity to debate or Rebut as a former member
Speaker 7: of the body in my single.
Speaker 1: This is where it gets wild in my single days,
Speaker 1: This is where the background changes, Like so that part
Speaker 1: was like, you know, like very serious music and then
Speaker 1: this party like kind of chan to like a fun
Speaker 1: party vibe.
Speaker 7: Yeah exactly. Now you can kind of hear like something
Speaker 7: in the background, like all right, So first up, in
Speaker 7: my single days, I often set funds to women I dated,
Speaker 7: even some I.
Speaker 2: Never dated, but who asked? I dated several of these
Speaker 2: women for years. I never had sexual contact with someone
Speaker 2: under eighteen. Any claim that I have would be destroyed
Speaker 2: in court, which is why no such claim has ever
Speaker 2: been made in court.
Speaker 4: My thirties.
Speaker 2: We're an era of working very hard. Oh and playing
Speaker 2: hard too. It's embarrassing, though not criminal.
Speaker 7: I'm just gonna end that there. It's embarrassing, though not criminal,
Speaker 7: that I probably partied, woman eyed, drank, and smoked more
Speaker 7: than I should have earlier in life. I live a
Speaker 7: different life now. And then the last part, but at
Speaker 7: least I didn't vote for CRS that fuck over the country.
Speaker 7: That's it the end.
Speaker 1: CRS is like something.
Speaker 7: No continuing continuing resolution. Oh is a CR. That's like
Speaker 7: basically they're voting for to avert the government. That he's
Speaker 7: just talking about a stupid thing, to avert a go.
Speaker 7: He's basically saying like, oh, at least I didn't vote
Speaker 7: to a vertic government shut down, is what he's saying.
Speaker 7: Because it's like the hyper maga take on what Speaker
Speaker 7: Johnson is trying to do to avoid a shutdown. Oh wow,
Speaker 7: he's just flexing really hyper magacred at the end, which
Speaker 7: is so weird. Again, I like you said, oh, sorry,
Speaker 7: I partied like a fucking child sex trafficker. I said,
Speaker 7: like one, Okay, that doesn't mean I am one. And
Speaker 7: then at the end, it's really tearing telling when you
Speaker 7: end it for like, at least I didn't vote for
Speaker 7: like dude, when you say at least I blah blah
Speaker 7: blah as a rebuttal to someone's accusations, that's your and
Speaker 7: then you pivot to what about.
Speaker 1: Ism and you want to children knows this move of
Speaker 1: at least I'm at least I didn't steal the fucking cookie.
Speaker 1: And it's like, oh, well, that's not what we were
Speaker 1: talking about. So you just admitted to the thing that
Speaker 1: that you were doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that we were
Speaker 1: talking about.
Speaker 4: He's I'm not crying.
Speaker 7: At least I didn't pee my pants, like and you're like, wait,
Speaker 7: so you are crying.
Speaker 3: But pants, Yeah.
Speaker 8: It's it's Normal's Matt Gates is so unwell, Like seriously,
Speaker 8: first of all, I just have to say, who goes
Speaker 8: to their cosmetic surgeon's office and is like, you know what,
Speaker 8: give me the Charlie Kirk. I need that like big head,
Speaker 8: small face energy.
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 8: It's so strange to me that I'm like, you're it's
Speaker 8: he keeps doing it, but but you know, more serious, take.
Speaker 1: My face off and shrink and then put it back off.
Speaker 7: But also make make my eyebrows look like the make
Speaker 7: evil McDonald's arches like makes my eyebrows with Mike Jack
Speaker 7: Nicholson's and the McDonald's eye arches. I'm like, it's just.
Speaker 8: Like, you have poor judgment in every area of your life.
Speaker 8: Who you party with, you're plastic surgeon. The fact that
Speaker 8: you're like in congress, well he's not anymore, which is
Speaker 8: kind of amazing. Is that a small miracle?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 8: He's not in Congress right now? But like, yeah, the
Speaker 8: pivot at the I don't know. It kind of reminded
Speaker 8: me of the thing that jay Z wrote the other day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, one red cent.
Speaker 8: It's like, okay, who are.
Speaker 1: You red scent?
Speaker 7: What do you about to call the pinkertons on someone
Speaker 7: break a railroad strike or something. They won't get one
Speaker 7: red scent out of me.
Speaker 8: That was that was literally the first thing I thought.
Speaker 8: It was just like, oh my god, this is like
Speaker 8: jay Z could have written this thing. He's like, I
Speaker 8: didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 7: I didn't have that on my BINGO card for Matt Gates. Uh,
Speaker 7: but yeah, I think for a lot of people, you know,
Speaker 7: like that, Andyone's like it might be a big nothing burger,
Speaker 7: let's remind ourselves of what would even be in said report.
Speaker 7: So again, according to the committee, the report contains its
Speaker 7: findings regarding allegations that Gates had quote engaged in sexual
Speaker 7: misconduct or illicit drug use, shared inappropriate images or videos
Speaker 7: on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign
Speaker 7: funds to personal use, and or accepted a bribe, improper
Speaker 7: gratuity or impermissible gift. Again, all in violation of House rulds.
Speaker 7: So you think he resigns suddenly out of nowhere if
Speaker 7: that report says we couldn't find anything that remotely looks
Speaker 7: like the allegation, the.
Speaker 8: Report exonerated him, So that's why he resigned.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Clearly the entire administration made up of sexual predators was
Speaker 1: like a little rich, well spicy for our blood.
Speaker 7: Chip.
Speaker 1: Probably let's get that.
Speaker 8: He should have put in the Trump like it was
Speaker 8: a perfect report and it doesn't need and it just
Speaker 8: needs to go away, like I did nothing wrong. It
Speaker 8: was a perfect.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but he has no he has no like political
Speaker 7: capital to do that. So it just has to be like, well,
Speaker 7: if he c didn't over the country.
Speaker 8: It's like not related.
Speaker 7: Guy, go do your reservoir dogs cosplay for your fucking
Speaker 7: marketing shoot for your new NEWSMAC show. He'll be fine
Speaker 7: because you all get to fail upward into heaven.
Speaker 1: Failing upward to heaven. Amen, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll come back and talk about bad Christmas songs.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: And we're back and just.
Speaker 1: Checking in because we have like kind of averted our
Speaker 1: eyes from the right a little bit since the election,
Speaker 1: just because we're like, oh, they're probably having a cool
Speaker 1: party over there, and just don't I don't want to
Speaker 1: see it, and we're not gonna There was the Trump
Speaker 1: advisor who passed out on stage, seemed to be having
Speaker 1: a serious medical issue. I don't think we want to
Speaker 1: like kind of point and laugh at that one.
Speaker 9: But here it is, I'm hearing it is that we're
Speaker 9: not going to point less, but I do want to
Speaker 9: just look at this one anti lgbt Q plus uh
Speaker 9: senator from Tennessee, Uh where it's the.
Speaker 1: State House guy and uh he is is just like
Speaker 1: one of the one of the worst, the Senator Ken Yeger.
Speaker 1: He has regularly used his power to make life harder
Speaker 1: for poor and LGBTQ people as a way to make
Speaker 1: up for a lifetime of you know, just being being him.
Speaker 4: I'm in Tennessee right now. Tennessee's forty ninth, forty eighth,
Speaker 4: forty seventh, and infant mortality, Mother mortality reading comprehension. Yeah,
Speaker 4: every it's these these these people in in uh in
Speaker 4: in office in Tennessee have done nothing but just steal
Speaker 4: money and and and and defund public programs to and it,
Speaker 4: you know, to the point where Tennessee, I mean, is
Speaker 4: just a mess.
Speaker 1: And this guy yeah, yeah, so this is this is
Speaker 1: just him, you know, on his I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know where they kind of found him, but he did
Speaker 1: get pulled over under suspicion of a dui. And I
Speaker 1: do really respect the police for going through with the
Speaker 1: field sobriety test. Once you see this guy that, they're
Speaker 1: still like, well, better see if this guy's drunk or not.
Speaker 4: They're probably his friend. They're like rooting for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like, come on, man, just just walm god,
Speaker 1: he stopped pissing. Yeah, all right, let's let's check out
Speaker 1: the video and then we'll describe it to people who
Speaker 1: aren't watching. Uh So, he has been. He stands there
Speaker 1: with his hands behind his back like this is gonna
Speaker 1: be easy as hell, uh, and begins to piss his pants.
Speaker 1: And they are khakis, so it's not subtle.
Speaker 3: You don't want to piss those job on the.
Speaker 4: Line walking though he's really cleaning there.
Speaker 1: He's doing a great I think we froze. I think
Speaker 1: that's why he appears to be doing a good job.
Speaker 3: He also pointed at the line as if it moved
Speaker 3: as he was trying to walk across the line. He
Speaker 3: points at it and moved the line.
Speaker 4: And people listening and not watching. He is pissing this
Speaker 4: whole time he's walking, and it's getting.
Speaker 1: It's so big. It starts just in the place where
Speaker 1: your pants would be normally a normal pair of pants
Speaker 1: would be pissed.
Speaker 10: And then it starts his entire left leg. Yeah, gravity
Speaker 10: takes over. It is great, actually spreading up to his
Speaker 10: He's wearing a turtle neck and it's spreading up his neck.
Speaker 1: He blake, it's a really good point there. There is
Speaker 1: a point at the end where he turns around and
Speaker 1: we we don't get to hear what exactly he's saying,
Speaker 1: but he does point to the line as though it
Speaker 1: has been moved on him or something like, what the fuck.
Speaker 3: Was that it's drawn on the ground.
Speaker 1: That line's wobbly as hell, Doug Jesus lies anyways, that
Speaker 1: line is, that line is woke. We we don't need
Speaker 1: to wallow in the humiliation of this loser. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, it's it's just this is this is
Speaker 1: who we're dealing with.
Speaker 4: Well, this is what Nazis did to Nazis partied. That's
Speaker 4: all this is is losers partying. This is people, the
Speaker 4: world's most charmless people, creating a space where they can
Speaker 4: just get drunk all the time. That's what fascism really is. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and this guy is a perfect example. He's supposed to
Speaker 4: be a lawmaker. I mean he's he's like seventy years old,
Speaker 4: and he's he's like a seventeen year old. He's dressed
Speaker 4: like a seventeen year old. Is he's partying instead of
Speaker 4: I mean, he's pissing all over the place, And it's
Speaker 4: just like it's just the banality of evil. But the
Speaker 4: banality of evil. Evil is pissing your pants, you.
Speaker 1: Know, Yeah, pissing your pants as you're doing the Duy test.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and being like everybody pisses their pants, American, I'm
Speaker 4: pissing your pants.
Speaker 1: Your line is not regulation. That is not a regulation
Speaker 1: line that you're making me walk.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's I truly believe there's nothing wrong with enjoying
Speaker 3: the shit out of this. I really believe that you
Speaker 3: got Honestly, if you're like, oh, I don't want to
Speaker 3: laugh at someone else's expense, we need to take the
Speaker 3: higher ground, we don't. This is something you need to
Speaker 3: enjoy because it's so great. Yes, it's so This is
Speaker 3: one of the few great things. And it wouldn't be.
Speaker 4: If he was some guy who was not in power,
Speaker 4: then this would be sad. But instead, instead it's not
Speaker 4: sad because this guy you.
Speaker 1: Don't make it.
Speaker 4: You're not supposed to. You're supposed to be self aware

Speaker 4: this stuff that I had a feeling, Chris, And this
Speaker 4: is such a long Yeah, this is such a long
Speaker 4: interview and it gets way too in depth. That's that's
Speaker 4: what's really funny about this is it's way too in depth.
Speaker 4: And it also shows you the inside of the recording
Speaker 4: studio in nineteen eighty one in Chattanooga.
Speaker 1: That hair styles, Yeah, it's supposed to be a puff piece,
Speaker 1: and he is just letting some of the most pitched.
Speaker 4: That I mean, this song is I like this song.
Speaker 1: It's a cheesy song.
Speaker 4: He should be like yeah, and he should have just
Speaker 4: been like yeah, rocks and we had a great time
Speaker 4: recording it. But instead they just let the camera roll
Speaker 4: forever and then they put it all on the air.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is stuff that would definitely be cut out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now let's go forty tape Rower Pyramid Studios.
Speaker 7: Lookout mountain.
Speaker 1: They've been watching rolling being.
Speaker 7: Recorded for what has become one of the hottest records
Speaker 7: of the year, the song.
Speaker 1: Can we skip forward to forty seconds?
Speaker 4: Everyone who works in the studio is a sheep dog.
Speaker 7: It's the record songwriter Bertie Higgins, and what Bertie thinks
Speaker 7: about you guys.
Speaker 4: Gotta look at this. This is like an all timer
Speaker 4: for me, the whole thing. Just go watch this with
Speaker 4: your family for Christmas instead of that electric you'll loss, okay.
Speaker 1: I mean the voice of an angela.
Speaker 4: Here we go.
Speaker 6: I had gone through an emotional fall. A lady who
Speaker 6: I loved very much had left me after living with
Speaker 6: her for almost five years in Florida. And we were
Speaker 6: both into old films at that time in Florida, and
Speaker 6: we'd curl up on Friday Saurday night the only time
Speaker 6: he had a twenty four hour TV down there and
Speaker 6: watch him and Bogert McCall was your favorite.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's not the best part, but it's the beginning. Okay.
Speaker 4: He's talking about his relationship and they play a little
Speaker 4: more of the song. A right, and he's back.
Speaker 1: Are we gonna go Should we skip forward to four
Speaker 1: thirty five or where?
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, he's about to say something real good, right, Okay, okay,
Speaker 4: gotta god here it comes it all?
Speaker 7: Yeah one time?
Speaker 4: Oh wait, we missed it?
Speaker 1: He said, did you have it all?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I've been around on the earth a while, and I
Speaker 6: never thought I.
Speaker 3: Could feel that.
Speaker 6: And the fact that I felt that just absolutely. I mean,
Speaker 6: I was married before that, I had a couple of children,
Speaker 6: and I wasn't very very much pain about that.
Speaker 7: And that's it.
Speaker 4: I was married before I had a couple of children.
Speaker 1: I never married before I had a couple of children.
Speaker 1: I never felt that. Unbelievable, all right, that's okay.
Speaker 4: The next part is just the four minute part, is
Speaker 4: when he says, uh, it's just another way to in
Speaker 4: depth thing. It's him and the girl who wrote the
Speaker 4: song about and she we don't have Yeah, if we
Speaker 4: if we're trying to, but it's worth watching this whole
Speaker 4: video because it's the biggest overshare in history. They're trying
Speaker 4: to promote a song and end up that the studio
Speaker 4: guys basically say at some point in that video like
Speaker 4: we didn't even need the song. We have a promotion
Speaker 4: machine here that can make any song a hit. It
Speaker 4: doesn't even matter if it's good. And like Bernie Higgins
Speaker 4: is like in the other part of the room being like, Hi,
Speaker 4: you know, yeah, it's it's just such a fucking heck.
Speaker 4: It's like this film. It's a ruder film.
Speaker 1: Except about rock.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah. By the way, he has two kids,
Speaker 3: one named Julian, which is a human name, and the
Speaker 3: other named Diesel Boy. And I might go, either, is
Speaker 3: that really And I'm like, wait, did he name his
Speaker 3: son Diesel Boy? And it's actually Diesel Boy is actually
Speaker 3: a Diesel man. He's fifty two and a DJ of course,
Speaker 3: so that was the other way of that. It could
Speaker 3: so right, either in a blackout in the he might
Speaker 3: have or he was named Diesel Boy and Diesel maybe
Speaker 3: it's just Diesel Diesel.
Speaker 4: Was that his real name?
Speaker 3: I mean he was the Birth Records yeah, which I
Speaker 3: don't have time to do speaking for myself.
Speaker 1: God, to just be like in a in an interview
Speaker 1: and be like I had two kids, like I've never
Speaker 1: felt something like a love like this is so wild.
Speaker 4: Oh no, there's Diesel boy.
Speaker 1: Diesel Boy. He looks like a pretty regular DJ.
Speaker 3: Yeah at the timely abnormal human, but a regular DJ.
Speaker 1: Yeah. At the time of that interview, this young man
Speaker 1: was nine years old. Then he was like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: never felt anything like the love I felt for this lady,
Speaker 1: for this lady.
Speaker 4: Yeah. My old my wife and my kids never did
Speaker 4: it for me, but this lady did.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The lord, this lady whose name escapes me.
Speaker 1: She comes in at the end and they're like, why
Speaker 1: did you leave him? She's like, why do I leave them?
Speaker 1: Many many reasons.
Speaker 4: I think the four minute mark he talks about being
Speaker 4: in jail. He does.
Speaker 1: He says, he says, I was like jail, jail a
Speaker 1: couple year.
Speaker 4: For two years or something. He lorady said, for not
Speaker 4: that long.
Speaker 1: I know guys like this, so I was not shocked
Speaker 1: supposed to jail for not that long.
Speaker 4: Because he realized, what the hell is happening?
Speaker 1: What the hell is happening in jail.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, at some point you realize when you're
Speaker 4: on a podcast and you're oversharing, that's what's happening to him.
Speaker 1: He's like, you know, it's why he's.
Speaker 4: Like, when I was in jail for not that long,
Speaker 4: What the hell's going on? What are we doing here?
Speaker 3: The bandslaughter was involuntary. It wasn't that long.
Speaker 4: So yeah, Berdie Higgins. And then there's a great video
Speaker 4: for the song Key Largo. The video is great too,
Speaker 4: because he's supposed to be in a yacht and it's
Speaker 4: a small fishing boat, so he's like supposed to be
Speaker 4: He's supposed to be in a yacht, but I don't
Speaker 4: know if they couldn't they couldn't get it. And the
Speaker 4: boat he's in. The boat he's in with the woman.
Speaker 4: You know, it's him and a girl, like out on
Speaker 4: a date on a boat, and it's supposed to be like, oh,
Speaker 4: what I wish I had his life, you know, in
Speaker 4: Key Largo, and it's this fishing boat that's getting jostled
Speaker 4: a lot by the camera. Boat's wake water and then
Speaker 4: he's smoking the whole time. Yeah, and smoking in a
Speaker 4: little boat. I mean, if you're smoking in a huge yacht.
Speaker 4: I could see how that could be a power move,
Speaker 4: but smoking in a little boat makes you look like
Speaker 4: what he was and I'm still alcoholic.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, you're probably smuggling living cargo.
Speaker 4: It's a great video. It's a great video, So the
Speaker 4: video over Q logo. If you don't feel like spending
Speaker 4: ten minutes and finding out the real misery behind that
