Speaker 2: What's up, Chris, Welcome to the Chriscroft and Daily Zi guys. Okay,
Speaker 2: such a lovely place, such a lovely place. I've been
Speaker 2: through the desert on a horse named Chris Croft, and
Speaker 2: it feel good to be out of the Daily Geist.
Speaker 2: Love that those aka is brought to you by me,
Speaker 2: Am Wow.
Speaker 1: The eagles and then Neil Young.
Speaker 4: I know, two champions, two champions of the white community.
Speaker 1: Last time, I did not know that.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I didn't know what you didn't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I thought Horse with No Name was
Speaker 1: a Neil Young song. But it's not. It's some dude
Speaker 1: who is trying to be like Neil I guess what
Speaker 1: what what dudes?
Speaker 2: Yeah, some dudes trying to sound like Neil Young. Yeah, America.
Speaker 1: And then you recognize obviously part of Jaquies's AKA not
Speaker 1: like Us, because, like I was quizzing you before, you
Speaker 1: you have intersected with the Kendrick Lamar beef ending track
Speaker 1: not like Us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I cannot I can't believe. I'm just I'm
Speaker 2: just humbled as a white man to know about it. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: you know, and I and I and it's just a
Speaker 2: testament to how far that has gone that a man
Speaker 2: my age of my complexion knows about this fucking beef?
Speaker 1: Did you know? And I, Chris, was it like a
Speaker 1: thing where you're like, what, what? Why does everybody keep
Speaker 1: talking about miners and stuff? The fuck is going on?
Speaker 1: And then you just kind of naturally figured it out
Speaker 1: or on YouTube enough that you figured.
Speaker 2: It out I just fucking I'm online, yeah, way too much.
Speaker 2: And so I know about a little bit about Drake
Speaker 2: being accused of that sort of stuff, and then I
Speaker 2: but I didn't know. I mean obviously, and I know
Speaker 2: Kendrick Lamar a little bit, but so I don't exactly know.
Speaker 2: I don't know that I know, I've heard this song,
Speaker 2: I've heard the song. I've heard the song. I just
Speaker 2: don't know exactly what is going on or Yeah that's fine.
Speaker 2: But I think that as far as I can tell,
Speaker 2: it was a big win for Kendrick yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and a big loss for Drake.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but I think he'll be back because Drake's
Speaker 1: like Avengers movies for the music industry, like they need
Speaker 1: they need him to generate hits. But we'll see. The
Speaker 1: brand is pretty fucked up though at the moment.
Speaker 4: So I mean I say this, like Drake is gonna
Speaker 4: sell records.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, when he makes a.
Speaker 4: Song, and especially if it's a hit, it's gonna get
Speaker 4: radio play.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But he's got in the rap community, yeah that is, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's he is people will forever. Yeah.
Speaker 5: People are not looking at him. He will be viewed
Speaker 5: as like right, like hip hop fans right for sure.
Speaker 5: For sure Capital H fans, Capitol H hip hop fans exactly.
Speaker 1: You know who you are. Well, Chris, it's great to
Speaker 1: have you. We're gonna tease out what we may get
Speaker 1: to may not get to, because obviously when we got
Speaker 1: the cold Brew gon On, we never know where this
Speaker 1: fucking thing goes. We might get to talk about how RFK,
Speaker 1: while the actual presidential debate was happening, had his own
Speaker 1: little debate by himself. Then we'll talk about the latest
Speaker 1: attempt at quote unquote comedy from the right. It's a
Speaker 1: I guess it's like a all in the Family kind
Speaker 1: of version. I don't know. I don't know what they're
Speaker 1: describing it as. Look, you already know that it's not
Speaker 1: going to be good. And maybe we'll get to the
Speaker 1: fact that al Michaels will be doing some voice recaps
Speaker 1: for the Olympics, but using AI because it won't be him,
Speaker 1: just his voice model. We'll get into that, maybe more,
Speaker 1: maybe less, we don't know with all that. But first,
Speaker 1: Chris Crofton, you know the first question we always have
Speaker 1: to ask, which is what is something from your search
Speaker 1: history that is a feeling about who you are? What's
Speaker 1: you're interested in what you were just trying to figure
Speaker 1: out in life.
Speaker 2: I feel like this is gonna be you know, this
Speaker 2: is gonna be a letdown. I mean, it's not magnet fishing,
Speaker 2: it's not you know, watching metal detecting, it's not abandoned minds. Lately,
Speaker 2: it's been a ton of old eighties pro wrestling because
Speaker 2: it makes me feel good and and nothing else does
Speaker 2: that for me quite that way. This just it just
Speaker 2: takes me back to before Ai, before fucking all the
Speaker 2: news was just about Donald Trump and that's all. It
Speaker 2: just takes me back to a time that it's, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, it's just a simpler fucking time when when
Speaker 2: wrestling was regional theater, when you could be a fat, drunk,
Speaker 2: drunk guy and be a wrestler, which would have been me,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like a time where I
Speaker 2: could have been a wrestler.
Speaker 4: Just what you could just with your restaurant name, yeah
Speaker 4: it was your wrestling name. What would be a wrestling name?
Speaker 2: I mean now would probably be some fucking Colbrew bullshit,
Speaker 2: But back then it would have been like, you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know that, just like I don't know what
Speaker 2: the thumb tack or some shit like that.
Speaker 4: Oh, thumb tack?
Speaker 1: Okay, what would your finishing what's your signature move be?
Speaker 1: Would it be you lifted anybody? The thumb tack would
Speaker 1: be the finishing move. I mean, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: You just.
Speaker 1: Right right, right back.
Speaker 2: Then you just put ox side of your hair and
Speaker 2: showed up with a hangover and you were good to go.
Speaker 2: Put on some tights, steal them from a jobber.
Speaker 1: Wait, was there was there a show like? Was there?
Speaker 1: Are there specific wrestlers that you watched they bring you
Speaker 1: this feeling? Are you just the aesthetic of eighties wrestling
Speaker 1: in general?
Speaker 2: You're like, yep, I was only in love with it
Speaker 2: because for me growing up in in Uh, I grew
Speaker 2: up jack Keston, fucking Connecticut, and I grew up in
Speaker 2: the part of Connecticut that you would assume like kind
Speaker 2: of like the fucking the part of Connecticut that earned
Speaker 2: Connecticut it's shitty reputation, like the golf and the Scotch
Speaker 2: and the fucking. Except my dad moved us there and
Speaker 2: then had a nervous breakdown and didn't cut the grass
Speaker 2: and stuff, so we had a different experience there. It
Speaker 2: was kind of like being in an autoclave. I actually
Speaker 2: don't even know what an autoclave is, but it was kind
Speaker 2: of like being in something bad no AutoPlay, like autola.
Speaker 2: I think that's where they sterilized. I've never done a
Speaker 2: podcast before, another podcast before, so I might be just
Speaker 2: saying crazy shit because I'm all talked out or something.
Speaker 2: But now autoclave is not the right thing to say.
Speaker 2: Autoclave is where they sterilized surgical instruments. So that's not
Speaker 2: at all. My childhood was like.
Speaker 1: It was sterilized it.
Speaker 2: It was a trauma fest and it was anyway. So
Speaker 2: like like I didn't know what job to have because
Speaker 2: where I grew up they this happened. I don't know
Speaker 2: if anybody can relate to this, but when they're trying
Speaker 2: to figure out what to do with a funny kid,
Speaker 2: they don't know what to do. That's not a job,
Speaker 2: you know, right, So they're like, you're funny. You should
Speaker 2: be a lawyer. That's what they told me, because there
Speaker 2: are only two jobs on the menu, like lawyer, or
Speaker 2: maybe three like doc after lawyer, stockbroker, right right, So
Speaker 2: they were like, you're not going to be a stock
Speaker 2: broker because you talk too much and you can't be
Speaker 2: a doctor because you talk too much. But a lawyer,
Speaker 2: you could be a lawyer. So I didn't know what
Speaker 2: the fuck I was doing. I just thought I was
Speaker 2: going to be a lawyer. There's no internet. I didn't
Speaker 2: know what jobs there were. I thought it was only
Speaker 2: three jobs. I thought the whole country just wore fucking
Speaker 2: khakis and went skiing. I had no idea what was happening.
Speaker 2: And then wrestling, man. I turned the channel and there
Speaker 2: was fucking wrestling out of nowhere. Men grown ass men
Speaker 2: with peroxided hair. Yeah, they were making a living having
Speaker 2: peroxided hair as the main thing they had to do
Speaker 2: to make a living. And besides that shit yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: and just like but they because then back then this
Speaker 2: is the thing. They didn't have to even be in
Speaker 2: shape or anything. They were just alcoholics. Would you and
Speaker 2: I was also an alcoholic?
Speaker 1: They were they? What would I mean? Jackiees, I know
Speaker 1: you're a huge wrestling fan too, Like I know, every
Speaker 1: the aesthetic looks so different now, like everybody looks like
Speaker 1: they're cut from fucking marble and shit, But like it's true,
Speaker 1: like with like Hacksaw, Jim Duggan and those dudes, back
Speaker 1: in the day.
Speaker 4: You're like, I mean you definitely had you definitely had
Speaker 4: more people that were just brutes, you know, just just
Speaker 4: everyday man, you know what I'm saying, just the everyday
Speaker 4: Joe and then the other half of the people were
Speaker 4: completely jacked on steroids. Right, it was nowhere between. It
Speaker 4: was Dusty Rhoades or Hulk Hog, right like those were,
Speaker 4: or Andre the Giant.
Speaker 1: You know, did you ever hear like a rumor I
Speaker 1: remember growing up that like the Ultimate war I remember
Speaker 1: people I thought the Ultimate Warrior died because he did
Speaker 1: too many steroids.
Speaker 4: I mean, was that the thing. I'm sure he died
Speaker 4: eight because he did too many steroids, but.
Speaker 1: I think this was, yeah, I think this is while
Speaker 1: he was still wrestling. I think it was just like
Speaker 1: you know, like when you hear wrestling line's secondhand and
Speaker 1: you're like, that's in the thing. He may have I
Speaker 1: know he died in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 4: It looks like, yeah, he died, like he came back
Speaker 4: to Vince McMahon probably started that room and was like,
Speaker 4: I hate this man, started rooming. He died because was
Speaker 4: very petty and you know, and we know a lot
Speaker 4: of shit about him now but then he came back
Speaker 4: to the WWE, which was like could never say never
Speaker 4: thing because you know, he hated fencing the WWE. He
Speaker 4: came back to the WWE, got inducted into the WWE
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame, like, came to Monday Night Rawl, did
Speaker 4: a promo like the Ultimate Warrior. You know, you guys
Speaker 4: are with me, and then died the next morning.
Speaker 2: That is wild.
Speaker 4: It was crazy.
Speaker 2: And I don't think he died from steroids like in
Speaker 2: the moment, but he did. Long term, those guys, you know,
Speaker 2: all especially those eighties guys died before that that you
Speaker 2: could be like a normal you know, you didn't have
Speaker 2: to like you could just be sort of out of shape.
Speaker 1: It was it was local.
Speaker 2: It all revolved around I'm talking about like before cable
Speaker 2: television like elevated like w w F and and and
Speaker 2: took it like nationwide. There were just like everything revolved
Speaker 2: around the local TV station. So each wrestling community had
Speaker 2: their own little you can watch it on, like Vice's
Speaker 2: Dark Side in the Ring talks about the territories, like
Speaker 2: you know, it was just like a very It was
Speaker 2: like a regional theater company full of except just full
Speaker 2: of lunatics that you know, original theater company where you
Speaker 2: get drunk like.
Speaker 4: Every day from the head and some of the bigger
Speaker 4: stars would come to other territories and just chopping and
Speaker 4: then you'd be like, oh, shoot, Rickyler is here.
Speaker 1: And.
Speaker 2: That was like a yeah, it was like a very.
Speaker 2: It was very like very. It was very blue collar.
Speaker 2: I mean it was like it was.
Speaker 1: It was not.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like everybody could get a job in wrestling.
Speaker 2: I'm not making it tell it. It wasn't like it
Speaker 2: was a union job or something. But but it was
Speaker 2: like much it was much closer to something that was like,
Speaker 2: you know, it hadn't been monopolized, like there was this
Speaker 2: there was this guy. Like but the stories make me happy,
Speaker 2: like just like they're not great good stories. You know,
Speaker 2: they're all like usually about just men behaving horribly. But
Speaker 2: there was this guy named buzz Sawyer. He died of
Speaker 2: at age thirty one of a cocaine overdose. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: But the stories like like about him as he was
Speaker 2: just like a good worker, meant like, but he was
Speaker 2: a terrible person. Like he was a terrible person, but
Speaker 2: he was a good worker. So we liked having him around.
Speaker 2: But he didn't bring his own stuff to the wrestling
Speaker 2: Like he would go come, he'd just be an up
Speaker 2: for three days or whatever. He was an ex like
Speaker 2: college wrestler. Like he was like a very good wrestler,
Speaker 2: but he just like went berserk or something, you know,
Speaker 2: and he he would show up to the studio and
Speaker 2: he wouldn't bring his own stuff. So the jobbers, the
Speaker 2: guys who would have to get paid fifty bucks to lose,
Speaker 2: you know, to the to the name people, he would
Speaker 2: just take their equipment, like he would just take their
Speaker 2: tights and their boots and like and then like fucking
Speaker 2: just he was horrible and then he beat the fuck
Speaker 2: out of him, like really bad. Like I don't like
Speaker 2: watching his squash matches because then in the real matches
Speaker 2: with the celebrities he would hit them in a normal, nice,
Speaker 2: fake manner, but he'd beat the fuck out of those
Speaker 2: like regular guys. Yeah, he was not nice. But my
Speaker 2: fit story about him is they went to Japan and
Speaker 2: Buzz Sawyer was so fucked up, like he always was,
Speaker 2: and people were always like, man, he was a good worker,
Speaker 2: but total piece of shit. Like like it's so funny
Speaker 2: watching shoot interviews about Buz Sawyer because everybody's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: he was a special one. He was not a good guy,
Speaker 2: but he was a great, great work. But he was
Speaker 2: going through customs and he didn't want to wait because
Speaker 2: he wanted to go to a bar, so he threw
Speaker 2: his luggage in the garbage and just so he could
Speaker 2: walk through. Yes, Jesus Christ. And that was like, that
Speaker 2: was a story.
Speaker 4: When customers was probably easy as hell to get through.
Speaker 2: Like the last time I saw him, he said, cause
Speaker 2: he died really young. Like the last time I saw him,
Speaker 2: we were waiting in line for customs all the way
Speaker 2: back from Japan, and he just wanted to go to
Speaker 2: a bar and he didn't want to wait, so he
Speaker 2: threw his lug into the garbage. And that was the
Speaker 2: last time I saw him.
Speaker 1: It's like and I just thought that was.
Speaker 2: Such a power move to throw your luggage.
Speaker 1: In the power move, and like so tragic too, And
Speaker 1: you're like, God, that's I.
Speaker 2: Can relate, you know what I mean. It's like seeing
Speaker 2: The Lighthouse.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I saw that movie The Lighthouse, and I was like,
Speaker 2: that looks like the nineties.
Speaker 1: Griz. What's something you think, Chris, What's something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated?
Speaker 2: Something that's underrated is hold on, let me look at
Speaker 2: my notes here. I wrote down Jimmy Webb and I
Speaker 2: wrote down therapist. Okay, good. I guess underrated would be
Speaker 2: overrated would be not going to a therapist, but also
Speaker 2: overrated would be saying that just going to a therapist
Speaker 2: is going to fix your shit. Like I'm tired people
Speaker 2: saying like, oh, just go to therapy. I went to therapy,
Speaker 2: Like I went to therapy and I got it done,
Speaker 2: and now you have to do it. It's like fuck that,
Speaker 2: Like it's an endless, endless journey. There's no there's no
Speaker 2: go to therapy and get done with it. And there's
Speaker 2: a lot of like.
Speaker 1: You mean, like the perception that like merely just saying like,
Speaker 1: just go to therapy and then everything is solved, rather
Speaker 1: than like it's a whole process.
Speaker 2: I agree that men will not go to therapy, right,
Speaker 2: but just because you went to therapy like doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 2: Like that doesn't mean you did the work, and it
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you're all better.
Speaker 4: There's still many pieces of ship who go to therapy
Speaker 4: like all.
Speaker 2: Right, and then are like now that makes me impervious
Speaker 2: to criticism because I went to therapy that that's not
Speaker 2: how it works. It's a it's a constant journey, like
Speaker 2: or an endless journey. And so I started seeing this
Speaker 2: therapist and I'm really just doing this because I just
Speaker 2: I want to figure out a way to tell this story.
Speaker 2: So this therapist, this is a new therapist, right, And
Speaker 2: he's a dude. And I usually go to women therapists
Speaker 2: because I was raised by my mom basically, and I
Speaker 2: don't like men. I don't like them telling me what
Speaker 2: to do because I happen to me, so I resistant.
Speaker 2: Also I can't. I just don't like I feel more
Speaker 2: comfortable with women, I feel safer with women. And so
Speaker 2: this guy was basically trying to tell me that I
Speaker 2: needed more masculine in my in my life. This is
Speaker 2: just happening. This is like last week, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. And I was like getting so mad because
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: Like, what you know, what do you mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, no, you know that is nothing you.
Speaker 1: Do with To me was I'm just I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to connect the dots here.
Speaker 2: Okay. Wrestling to me was there's no dots, that's all
Speaker 2: black wrestling to me was like my introduction to like art.
Speaker 2: I mean wrestling to me was art. This was people
Speaker 2: doing regional theater. I mean people don't say it that way,
Speaker 2: but that's.
Speaker 1: What it was.
Speaker 2: It was like little theater.
Speaker 1: True, what what is the therapist saying? What exactly was
Speaker 1: the imbalance in your life that this therapist is like
Speaker 1: you need more masculine?
Speaker 2: Like, what are we doing? This is the thing. I
Speaker 2: took my hat off.
Speaker 1: It's like off my dome.
Speaker 2: So uh he he was just saying, like, you know,
Speaker 2: you don't have enough masculine influence your life. You're you're
Speaker 2: He started saying, like how Carl Jung said creativity was female.
Speaker 2: It was making me like I was starting to think
Speaker 2: I was getting red pilled. Right then, that's what it's
Speaker 2: all right at our.
Speaker 4: Big ass ages. We ain't got to due at this point.
Speaker 1: It's too late, bro, Yeah, like yeah, you're not an
Speaker 1: eight year old boy with.
Speaker 2: Well I would. So here's.
Speaker 1: Becoming some lot lizard?
Speaker 2: Like come on now, are you telling me to become
Speaker 2: a lot lizard? Yeah? Kind of like I'm scared standing
Speaker 2: up with Colebrew all of my face. Are you telling
Speaker 2: me to become a lot lizard? So no, I guess
Speaker 2: his point was I think I understood his point, but
Speaker 2: at first it was like that I took it like,
Speaker 2: what are you talking about? Like, so he said, what
Speaker 2: do you think is a good quality and a man?
Speaker 4: M hm?
Speaker 2: And I seriously was like, oh, I was like, what
Speaker 2: do men represent in terms of good qualities? Another pause,
Speaker 2: and I finally said kindness? And I said that's not true.
Speaker 2: That's all I could get. I couldn't think of a
Speaker 2: single thing.
Speaker 1: Well, why is it also like specific to like gender, Well,
Speaker 1: that is true, or being like a person like I
Speaker 1: don't is there a specific thing you need as a man,
Speaker 1: you know, versus like just as a human being? Like
Speaker 1: qualities that.
Speaker 2: I think he was saying, like he was trying to
Speaker 2: say in my life having a dysfunctional father, who I
Speaker 2: love my father, but he was like an example. He
Speaker 2: was like a cautionary tale, Like all I could learn
Speaker 2: from him is what not to do right, And I didn't.
Speaker 2: He didn't talk to me, so I had no and
Speaker 2: because he had because he was like want to talk
Speaker 2: about fucking Stalin? Only you know, he had no friends.
Speaker 2: So he had no friends, like they want his friends.
Speaker 2: There are no men around anyway, like you know what
Speaker 2: my dad would like Chase them all away because any
Speaker 2: man that came around wanted to talk about, like, you know,
Speaker 2: fucking football, And my dad was like, yeah, but what
Speaker 2: about the Holocaust?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: You know? You later you know what I mean, because
Speaker 2: my dad just thought associating. He wanted to let people
Speaker 2: know that he'd had a lot of trauma and that
Speaker 2: that was what he thought about. That's what I think
Speaker 2: about trauma. You know that that's not you know, most
Speaker 2: people don't want to hear about that all the time,
Speaker 2: including me growing up. I don't want to hear like
Speaker 2: only about like like Stalin. But that's what happened. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't. My dad talks about Stalin so much. We
Speaker 2: were talking about thinking about getting a Stalin belt buckle,
Speaker 2: so uh so he seriously, but it's just him trying
Speaker 2: to say that he understands injustice. That's what you think about.
Speaker 2: It's like you you might want to talk about football,
Speaker 2: I want to talk about Stalin right, just to kind
Speaker 2: of show you. It's him trying to seem like an intellectual.
Speaker 2: You know, so there are just no men around. And
Speaker 2: I think his point was was that like that I
Speaker 2: need I do feel like that absence in my life
Speaker 2: when I go around the world. If I meet a
Speaker 2: man that has this shit even remotely together, I'm kind
Speaker 2: of like daddy, Like it's pretty embarrassing. It's like, you know,
Speaker 2: I feel this instinct when I'm around some dude who's
Speaker 2: got a ship together that I want to move into
Speaker 2: his house, right, And I don't know what that is,
Speaker 2: and it's kind of embarrassing. And now I know. I
Speaker 2: didn't know what it is, and now I know what
Speaker 2: it is. It's just like simply that I'm like not
Speaker 2: used to a dude that is kind and has this
Speaker 2: ship together. I did not have them around and they
Speaker 2: do exist. So I guess that was his point was
Speaker 2: to try and find some positive role models that are men,
Speaker 2: and in this case through AA because that's.
Speaker 4: My right, Chris is you went to therapy and you're
Speaker 4: all better now?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, what is? What is really? What
Speaker 2: it really? I was just trying to figure out a
Speaker 2: way to tell this story about how he asked me
Speaker 2: what was good about men? And it took me like
Speaker 2: an I was quiet for like an hour and then
Speaker 2: finally said kindness. Now that's true, right, So that's that
Speaker 2: was really why I wanted to bring it up. But
Speaker 2: I also do want to bring up that we all
Speaker 2: need tending to. And I mean that in a positive way.
Speaker 2: I don't mean to say like if you say you
Speaker 2: went to therapy, that's good, but there is no went
Speaker 2: to therapy in my opinion. First of all, you can
Speaker 2: have the worst therapists in the world. You can get
Speaker 2: a therapist that will tell you anything. Sure. You know,
Speaker 2: my dad went to therapy for years and told the
Speaker 2: therapist that he was a genius in his family was
Speaker 2: holding hit him back, you know, And that's all the
Speaker 2: therapists knew. When Yeah, and that's the therapists going to
Speaker 2: go on with they're told. So when the therapist met
Speaker 2: us there, you know, he was like, there's the people
Speaker 2: that held my client back, right. We were like, you
Speaker 2: have no fucking idea. You want to hear what really happened,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 4: So anyway, my therapist to this day thinks I've had
Speaker 4: an affair with Beyonce.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm talking about I can't man, I had
Speaker 2: I can't get anything done.
Speaker 4: Beyonce will not stop blowing up his bon on my phone.
Speaker 1: Really, you know, I've had some shitty therapy. I had
Speaker 1: one dude tell me that I shouldn't let women have
Speaker 1: sex with me on top? With a woman on top?
Speaker 4: What? Yeah, but he was really trying to tell you, Miles,
Speaker 4: what you got to be doing this work.
Speaker 1: He's like, you need to actually be like you know,
Speaker 1: like as a man, this might be the same dominant
Speaker 1: from I was like, what the fuck? What's this guy'smer
Speaker 1: It sounds like I'll tell you later, But now this dude.
Speaker 2: It sounds like my guy.
Speaker 4: Was this a therapist of color?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: He was like he was ethnically ambiguous. He was not.
Speaker 1: I could not put my finger on it, but I
Speaker 1: would not say that he was white. Okay, he was fizy,
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, there was some flavor in there. I
Speaker 1: couldn't quite pinpoint it. You never found out, nah, because
Speaker 1: after that I was like, this dude is tripping bro, Like, like,
Speaker 1: how what the fuck does that have to do with
Speaker 1: my fear of failure?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm in here trying to sort out some
Speaker 1: real shit. And then your solution is like, don't let
Speaker 1: them women get on top of you. That's not gonna
Speaker 1: lose your erection.
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna don't let women how girl, you boy,
Speaker 4: don't let them, yeah, cow girl.
Speaker 1: Like you don't want a woman to dominate you, do you?
Speaker 2: I'm like, what the fuck? That's funnier my story. That's like,
Speaker 2: actually one of the worst things I've ever heard.
Speaker 1: I've heard, so they're fucking bad.
Speaker 4: It was so I just did you listen for like
Speaker 4: a week or two You're like, no, no, baby, get
Speaker 4: off me, Get off me.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: I was like, no, man, I gotta be the man,
Speaker 1: Like what the fuck?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I want to, you know, work the middle anyway, So, Chris,
Speaker 1: that was your overrated? What's your underrated?
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that was. In terms of
Speaker 2: an overrated underrated I would say telling boomers to shut
Speaker 2: the fuck up? Wow, underrated underrated? Yeah, people do not
Speaker 2: do it enough about what about everything they're supposed to
Speaker 2: be dead? We're all supposed to be dead already, first
Speaker 2: of all, So everything they say they're supposed to be dead,
Speaker 2: or at least.
Speaker 1: They shouldn't be allowed to vote, Okay, And I like that.
Speaker 1: That's why you know your presidential bid is alluring to me.
Speaker 2: Oh I'm serious. Oh, anybody over seventy can't vote in
Speaker 2: my America, no fucking way. Yeah, yeah, certainly not only them,
Speaker 2: which is you got to deal with it.
Speaker 1: You ain't got to deal with it.
Speaker 4: You got to have a specific law, like a specific
Speaker 4: like things on a ballot, like all right, this is
Speaker 4: for the seniors, like lit's vote on social Yeah yeah,
Speaker 4: or just.
Speaker 2: Give them a fake slate of things like Fox News stuff.
Speaker 2: But if they could vote on it, but it doesn't
Speaker 2: go anywhere.
Speaker 1: If the effects of a certain bill will go further
Speaker 1: than this person's lifespan, then yeah, I think then maybe yeah,
Speaker 1: let the people that have to deal with it have
Speaker 1: You could.
Speaker 2: Also give them a fake slate if they feel bad,
Speaker 2: they could have their own little fake slate where they
Speaker 2: vote for gas stoves or whatever they like to do.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Also, you can't take away my stove.
Speaker 1: Were you also about to say, Jimmy Webb? I know
Speaker 1: you you read who the fuck you know who? Jimmy
Speaker 1: Webb was no, no, because I was going to put
Speaker 1: me on the game. So who's Jimmy Okay?
Speaker 2: Jimmy Webb is the guy who wrote Whichita Lineman, Oh,
Speaker 2: the song which Taal Lineman. He wrote by the time
Speaker 2: I got to Phoenix, Oh, by the time I what
Speaker 2: is get to Phoenix? You know what, you know what
Speaker 2: those songs are? Okay, okay, well, I mean I forget
Speaker 2: sometimes that I am old, but this reminds me. That's
Speaker 2: why I like to come on the daily. He's like
Speaker 2: guys to just confuse miles about, like you know, and
Speaker 2: who Neil Young is and so uh so, Jimmy Webb wrote,
Speaker 2: have you ever heard of the band the Fifth Dimension? No?
Speaker 2: Vaguely vague? They were a big, big, big band in
Speaker 2: the late sixties. So what Jimmy Webb was seventeen years
Speaker 2: old he became a songwriter for on a huge level.
Speaker 2: He moved from Oklahoma to Hollywood to become a songwriter,
Speaker 2: and when he was seventeen he started writing major hits.
Speaker 2: And actually he did his best writing when he was
Speaker 2: seventeen and eighteen years old. And then after that he
Speaker 2: kind of got into drugs and he was a horrible person,
Speaker 2: like all the fucking sex ship and don't even look
Speaker 2: him up.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, it's like the woman on top.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he didn't. He definitely he did, seriously, probably
Speaker 2: do that for years on the advice of his karate teacher.
Speaker 2: But uh, you know, karate teachers were also like therapist
Speaker 2: back then right, that was the first.
Speaker 1: That was the man's first therapist was like yeah, like
Speaker 1: every now and then.
Speaker 2: The karate teacher just be like, how you doing, man? Yeah,
Speaker 2: my wife left me too.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: No one's ever asked me that before. No man has
Speaker 2: ever asked me how I was doing.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: So, Jimmy Webb, Who's who's written some of the greatest
Speaker 2: songs ever that I love very much. I love the
Speaker 2: song the Moon's a Harsh Mistress And as a songwriter,
Speaker 2: Moon's a Harsh Mistress was a hit for Linda Ronstadt,
Speaker 2: a hit for Glenn Campbell. Glenn Campbell was the main
Speaker 2: guy that he wrote for. He also wrote the Highwayman,
Speaker 2: that song the it Doesn't matter fucking They are all
Speaker 2: these like legendary to Neil Hamburger, legendary legendary songs, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Like and Jimmy, Jimmy Webb, I
Speaker 2: thought would be fun to go see because he was
Speaker 2: in town, and I was like, I never go to
Speaker 2: see concerts, and there are times where I miss concerts
Speaker 2: that I'm like, oh, that's probably gonna be lame, you know,
Speaker 2: But then people say, oh, I went and saw you know,
Speaker 2: Todd Rudgren or whatever, and it was incredible, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Because I'm like, look at Tom Rudgren's show,
Speaker 2: and I'm thinking, he's seventy whatever years old. He's gonna suck.
Speaker 2: He's gonna play like you know, he's gonna play I
Speaker 2: don't know all keyboard said or something of his guitar music,
Speaker 2: or I think he's gonna do some weird shit that
Speaker 2: I don't want to see because he's old. But then
Speaker 2: sometimes I miss those shows and people say, you missed
Speaker 2: it, it was great, So I decide I'm gonna get tickets.
Speaker 2: They're sixty bucks each was a fee, so it's like
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty dollars investment. It's at the Country
Speaker 2: Music Hall Fame here in Nashville. And Jimmy Webb's seventy
Speaker 2: seven years old, right, But he wrote those hits when
Speaker 2: he was seventeen, so that means that people listening to
Speaker 2: him were thirty, which means his fans are ninety years old.
Speaker 1: Right. So the show, the vibe, what were the vibes?
Speaker 1: I get the show?
Speaker 4: Fucking cracker bear, ooh, goodass pancakes and biscuits, cracker barrel,
Speaker 4: fucking I don't know, insurrection and let me tell you, though,
Speaker 4: let me tell you black people love them from Cracker Barrel.
Speaker 4: We love them, Raise this pancakes, Cracker.
Speaker 2: Actually, that was too hard on Cracker. I love Cracker
Speaker 2: bro too.
Speaker 1: I heard business wise they're doing they're suffering right here.
Speaker 2: Crackerberroll is the only place I ever ate where I
Speaker 2: had proper amount of food. I grew up like we
Speaker 2: were not. Like my mom didn't know how to cook food.
Speaker 2: So she knew, yeah, she only cooked for four and
Speaker 2: we had six, and she didn't know how to cook
Speaker 2: for more. And she'd be like, listen, I know it's
Speaker 2: not enough food, but everybody can just shut up because
Speaker 2: I hate fucking cooking anyway.
Speaker 1: So he uh what the Jimmy Webshow was pretty cool what.
Speaker 2: Happened, So listen, so listen. So I love so I
Speaker 2: love these Jimmy web songs. I'm putting aside, like just
Speaker 2: because fucking David Bowie and Mick Jagger and Robert Plant
Speaker 2: they all were having sex in ways no one wants
Speaker 2: to think about. So I do I do? I love
Speaker 2: the songs. So I did that. First of all, I
Speaker 2: went through that art from artists cause I'm like I
Speaker 2: love these songs. I'm a songwriter. I want to see
Speaker 2: this guy. This guy's a master songwriter. I want to
Speaker 2: see him live. He's seventy seven, he's probably not gonna
Speaker 2: be doing this much longer. But it turns out he's vibrant,
Speaker 2: he's fine, he's bragging. He played four songs in an
Speaker 2: hour and ten minutes. The rest of the time he talked,
Speaker 2: and I didn't know it was songs and stories, so
Speaker 2: he just told stories. I know everything about everything from YouTube.
Speaker 2: I know everything there is to know about the sixties
Speaker 2: and the seventies, and also just from being alive with
Speaker 2: the fucking boomer's battering me over the head over and
Speaker 2: over again with woodstock and fucking grainy footage of the
Speaker 2: fucking you know, the goddamn I don't know led Zeppelin whatever,
Speaker 2: just like the good old days of a million years
Speaker 2: ago that we've had to live with as if like
Speaker 2: just over and over be told the best time in
Speaker 2: life was seventy years ago, and everyone alive now doesn't
Speaker 2: know how great it was, just because these fools have
Speaker 2: had control of our TV airwaves for the last fifty
Speaker 2: years and they've just rebroadcast Woodstock and so The point
Speaker 2: is the point is that I almost went crazy in
Speaker 2: that show. He was telling stories. He said Laurel Canyon.
Speaker 2: I was like, you fucking say, you boomer, you say
Speaker 2: Laurel Canyon one more fucking time to me say it,
Speaker 2: say Laurel Kanyon, you piece of fucking shit, Stop talking.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm talking about, Like I'm talking about
Speaker 2: those things that they have hypnotized generation after generation that
Speaker 2: their sty child was the best child there. And that's
Speaker 2: all he did the whole time is he talked about
Speaker 2: how great it was and how songwriters today aren't as good.
Speaker 2: All the good ones are dead. It was just one
Speaker 2: of these things where boomers do not know right that
Speaker 2: you don't talk for twenty five fuckings over when you
Speaker 2: pay people have paid sixty dollars you play a fucking West.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly true. All right, well, Chris, we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to take a quick break, but when we come back,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get everyone's take on the latest
Speaker 1: bit of comedy from the right wing, because we've got
Speaker 1: it pretty good, pretty good panel here to discuss this.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 1: So the right wing. They're trying to do comedy again.
Speaker 1: There is a new terrible fucking cartoon, as they describe
Speaker 1: sitcom because they have canned laughs in it dropped on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and it's as bad as you'd imagine. It's called The
Speaker 1: New Norm about a guy named Norm. And the creators
Speaker 1: have been like pitching this for a while because and
Speaker 1: it's also gotten zero traction because it's awful and bad
Speaker 1: and regressive, and like they've been telling potential networks like
Speaker 1: it's like a spiritual companion to all in the family,
Speaker 1: but like without the self awareness at all. And the
Speaker 1: creators behind this mess uploaded like a three minute clip
Speaker 1: that we just watched. They're calling it a pilot and
Speaker 1: they are begging people for money to help. As they
Speaker 1: literally describe it to quote fight the woke mind virus.
Speaker 1: The jokes were as predictable as everything you think right
Speaker 1: when comedy is, which is basically saying like trying to
Speaker 1: be like I like. It all distills down to these
Speaker 1: people are different and they want respect. That's so fucking dumb,
Speaker 1: ha ha ha, And then they use you know whatever
Speaker 1: culture warshit. There was like a rainbow can of beer.
Speaker 1: Later on in the episode, I guess the kids, like
Speaker 1: the high school they go to was renamed Colin Kaepernick
Speaker 1: High School, and everything was like, oh, so woke, Chris.
Speaker 1: You look you haven't your facial expression has expression has
Speaker 1: not changed. I think since that came on, And I'm
Speaker 1: just mad.
Speaker 2: I'm just mad. I mean I I to me, it's
Speaker 2: like a Nazi sitcom making fun of Jews. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's the same fucking shit. It's not even it's not
Speaker 2: even what is just code for vermin and Jews And
Speaker 2: it's not it's not it's not a thing, it's it's
Speaker 2: it's just a it's just a code word for everything
Speaker 2: non white, non non white, non non straight. I mean
Speaker 2: it's not it's not fucking funny. But it's like, not
Speaker 2: only is it not funny, it's it's violent. I mean
Speaker 2: whatever that that person was calling that guy that in that.
Speaker 1: Cliss yeah, well of course, yeah. Everything. And there's like
Speaker 1: jokes about identifying as inanimate objects, which is a thing
Speaker 1: you know of homophobic, transphobic people love to do and
Speaker 1: be like, oh yeah, like this person identifies as a
Speaker 1: There's like a thing where a guy was joining a
Speaker 1: high school karate class. He's like because identify as like
Speaker 1: a seventeen year old high school student, and they're like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so so so the whole thing. I don't know
Speaker 2: if people remember how Nazis came to power, but they
Speaker 2: they talked about what they described as like, uh, basically
Speaker 2: their idea, the same exact thing is what I'm about
Speaker 2: to say. They accused minorities of subverting the fabric of Germany.
Speaker 2: They they they wanted a throwback to later hosen and
Speaker 2: white people. It was just make Germany great again. And
Speaker 2: that's exactly what this is. And that's why it's not funny,
Speaker 2: it's not even and it's disguised because now they know
Speaker 2: enough to not they can't come back wearing outfits. They
Speaker 2: have like a big logo on them that say you
Speaker 2: know that say like they can't make it like a
Speaker 2: thing that like a like a like an anti woke
Speaker 2: like design that is reminiscent of a swastika. But that's
Speaker 2: what this ship is. So it's like and they're trying
Speaker 2: to sneak it into the discourse by saying it's a
Speaker 2: TV show and and and that's what. And they got
Speaker 2: Dave Rubin, who is a gay man that is one
Speaker 2: of these people that like thinks. I don't know that
Speaker 2: he's going to be safer if he hides in the
Speaker 2: in the complex that wants to eradicate him, you.
Speaker 4: Know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like this is you know, this is just like this
Speaker 2: is this is like the a version of collaborators. I
Speaker 2: hate to say it, but you know, like fucking Dave
Speaker 2: Rubens a collaborator. Like I don't even know who Larry
Speaker 2: Elder is, but I know who Dave Ruben is because
Speaker 2: I watched Sam Ceter and Sam Seter just makes fun
Speaker 2: of David.
Speaker 1: Yea, yeah, yeah, yeah. Larry Elder he ran for he
Speaker 1: ran for governor in California. Yeah, and he's like a
Speaker 1: black conservative like talk person Jack.
Speaker 4: He isn't not funny because you know the content, right,
Speaker 4: that's a given just comedically is also ass It was
Speaker 4: so bad.
Speaker 1: There's no sense of well, there's no sense of irony
Speaker 1: at all because just pointing a finger at different people
Speaker 1: the whole time.
Speaker 4: Also, I've never heard a lap track that then had
Speaker 4: like chatter and like every lab track was laughter, and
Speaker 4: then it was like yeah, yeah, right, I know that's right,
Speaker 4: Like what that's not a lap track, that's somebody talking
Speaker 4: in the living room, it's yeah crazy.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, to Chris's point, like it is, there is
Speaker 1: just something so disturbing when like what they especially, you know,
Speaker 1: like there's obviously Gutfeld who tries to make jokes or whatever,
Speaker 1: but it's still coming from the same fucking tree. But
Speaker 1: this truly is just sort of like how do we
Speaker 1: how do we just be racist? Racist, homophobic, anti progress,
Speaker 1: anti everything? But but we can't. We're not making jokes.
Speaker 1: We're just gonna make caricatures of people to sort of
Speaker 1: just keep up, keep the outrage up, to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's normal to think this ship is bad and
Speaker 1: that you hate it too, because it's.
Speaker 4: Funny normal, yeah, because normally and the funny thing is,
Speaker 4: you know, obviously they're trying to go for some modern
Speaker 4: version of All in the Family with you know, even
Speaker 4: like the main character looks like some archie bunker and
Speaker 4: and you know, like that's that's the funny part is like, look,
Speaker 4: I you know, I don't need to wax poetic about
Speaker 4: how terrible their content is like that it is, it
Speaker 4: fucking is. But it's just like if you're gonna do
Speaker 4: this shit, it dude, Like All in the Family was
Speaker 4: also to black people. It was very racist. You know,
Speaker 4: it's a very racist show. But but but in a
Speaker 4: way that was like, oh, you're not I don't want
Speaker 4: to say palatable, but it was just like this.
Speaker 1: There was a self awareness.
Speaker 4: There's a self awareness to that, right, and I know,
Speaker 4: like it's a different like creator and things like that.
Speaker 4: Like that was the purpose of that was to show
Speaker 4: how unprogressive and how bad Archie Bunker was. But it's
Speaker 4: also just like you guys that they are so enthralled
Speaker 4: with how much they hate all of us that they
Speaker 4: are not even creative with it. Like you're not even
Speaker 4: creative with it, and it's like that's even more insulting.
Speaker 4: It's like you're gonna be bad and bad.
Speaker 2: It's basically I.
Speaker 1: Just I'm just gonna take all of my terrible beliefs
Speaker 1: and make them cartoons. Like there's there's a like there's
Speaker 1: a lot of fucking weird shit in this and I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: like you're saying, Chris, they're just this is just like
Speaker 1: it's propaganda that they're just pretending is entertainment. But really,
Speaker 1: like the message is so clear of just like like
Speaker 1: fuck everything that isn't sishead, normy conservative America, and that's
Speaker 1: bad and fuck at all. Like there's even a depiction
Speaker 1: of Assistant Health and Human Services Secretary Rachel Levine where
Speaker 1: there's like a star of David like on her uniform.
Speaker 1: It's just really fucking it's really fucked up, And I think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nothing funny about attempting to move people to
Speaker 2: violence against people, you know, which is what the insurrection
Speaker 2: was a result. The insurrection was a result of this
Speaker 2: sort of thing where they are ready to hang Mike Pence, like,
Speaker 2: you know, what's Mike Pence except for in this case
Speaker 2: a stand in for like a cock or a you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you know, in that case, Mike
Speaker 2: Pence was cast as the lefty because which shows you
Speaker 2: how how like he's a white he's a cis white man.
Speaker 2: And they were ready to they were ready to hang
Speaker 2: him because and they were actually trying to hang him
Speaker 2: for real, because he was supposed to be like left leaning,
Speaker 2: like forget about whether if he was gay, or or
Speaker 2: or non binary or even just liberal for real, I mean,
Speaker 2: they were gonna hang Mike Pence, So do what the
Speaker 2: what does that mean that they want to do to
Speaker 2: everybody of color? Everybody of different fucking political uh persuasion.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's just we've already seen it.
Speaker 2: These people are capable of violence. This is just a
Speaker 2: call to violence. It's not a sitcom. This is a
Speaker 2: call to violence. And that's why it's not funny. It's
Speaker 2: not funny because all in the family was about thinking
Speaker 2: this shit was about to go away. It was all
Speaker 2: about like Meathead and his being like, shut the fuck up, dad,
Speaker 2: you're aged out. It's the sixties, work on the way
Speaker 2: to a better life. But it's like Archie Bunker stayed
Speaker 2: alive and is now a hundred because these people live forever,
Speaker 2: it turns out, and they keep voting and and so
Speaker 2: it's like we we we need to vote our fucking
Speaker 2: heads off. Young people got to vote. I know it sucks.
Speaker 2: I know it's a weak, seems so weak compared to
Speaker 2: this horrible ship that's going on. But it's sadly it's
Speaker 2: like what we got, you know, it really is what
Speaker 2: we got. Besides that, we got violence and no one
Speaker 2: wants that.
Speaker 4: And if you don't vote, this show will be premiering
Speaker 4: on Fox right after The Simpsons, exactly.
Speaker 2: I also love this conversation because this is a conversation
Speaker 2: where I mean sometimes like I think if there is
Speaker 2: any criticism of the left is that it can be
Speaker 2: just as exclusionary. Sometimes it can be like shut up,
Speaker 2: Like having conversations about in on the left about the
Speaker 2: right can devolve into the left calling each other names
Speaker 2: and it and it's it's difficult, you know, it's it's
Speaker 2: it's so I do think that if if anyone wanted
Speaker 2: to make fun of the left for anything, it could
Speaker 2: be like they can make fun of the left for
Speaker 2: just not supporting each other.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, or just or just like neoliberalism as a whole,
Speaker 1: like that it gestures to things of like progress but
Speaker 1: absolutely fails every time. Yeah, I think it's just it's
Speaker 1: just different versions of the same thing, like you know,
Speaker 1: like they're like with liberalism it's about there and conservatism
Speaker 1: it's about maintaining the status quo. And one version is
Speaker 1: sort of like pretending as if there is going to
Speaker 1: be progress, but it's just enough to maintain the status quo.
Speaker 1: And the other version is just so outwardly aggressive and violent,
Speaker 1: being like we need to literally go and reverse but
Speaker 1: it's just to be also because we need to maintain
Speaker 1: the status quo, and I think for them, they really
Speaker 1: just want to have this like social cast system where
Speaker 1: there are people who are higher than other people, and
Speaker 1: this is a very easy way to begin to sort
Speaker 1: people and say, well, then this group that we call
Speaker 1: woke or whatever is beneath the people who are the
Speaker 1: real Americans, et cetera, et cetera. So yeah, it's all
Speaker 1: very exhausting. But anyway, I don't think that show is
Speaker 1: going to do fucking anything. But a lot of people
Speaker 1: have watched it, whether they hate watched it or what
Speaker 1: the most.
Speaker 4: Season two, so make sure to check it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, you play Larry Elder's nephew.
Speaker 4: I played Larry Elder's nephew.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Call me a black whisper.
Speaker 1: Shit. All right, we're gonna take another quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back and we'll talk about Olympics, AI something something,
Speaker 1: and we're back. Uh, the Olympics are coming up. I
Speaker 1: gotta say I was watching the track and field qualifiers,
Speaker 1: the trials, you know, Olympic trials. There's something about like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I really like the eight hundred meter
Speaker 1: race because I feels like the most wild shit to
Speaker 1: be like, you got to go all out for two
Speaker 1: fucking laps. I'm always like I would. I can never
Speaker 1: do that shit. I remember I ran the two hundred
Speaker 1: in high school and I fucking hated it because I
Speaker 1: could do the hundred two hundred. That's like two one hundreds.
Speaker 4: Don't ask me eight hundred, it's eight of them.
Speaker 1: That's eight hundred. That's eight one hundred, eight one hundred.
Speaker 2: Not me, not me much.
Speaker 1: But anyway, So while that's happening, also breakdancing, I can't
Speaker 1: wait to see what the fuck like Olympic, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: breakdancing is a is a category this year?
Speaker 2: Like fifty years too late? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is there like an Olympic I wish I knew,
Speaker 1: like if there was, like what the rules were, I
Speaker 1: really should look into it. Like is there like a DJ?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah, it's like yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: like all right, Bob Beato, let's go and like just
Speaker 1: does everybody break to the same beat? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Is there like an Olympic standard or does
Speaker 1: each team have their own breakbeat that they come up?
Speaker 2: Anyway? That's is there gonna be like a Swiss team?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean like all I mean countries can submit breakdancing team.
Speaker 4: Countries are participating like a.
Speaker 2: Swiss breakdancing team, or they gonna make a movie about them,
Speaker 2: like the way they made about the Jamaican Bobs.
Speaker 1: Like like yeah, against all odds, like all these.
Speaker 2: Swiss breakdancers are just like finding out about breakdancing, like as.
Speaker 4: We see putting together. Countries are going to be in that.
Speaker 2: The Philippines, the Philippines.
Speaker 1: The Philippines. So I'm growing up in La so many
Speaker 1: of the best breakers I knew were Filipino.
Speaker 4: Okay, Philipino.
Speaker 1: I feel like the Filipinos could definitely have a breakdance.
Speaker 1: Obviously the US, but I'm sure like whenever you watch
Speaker 1: those Red Bull dance battles, like most like everybody's bringing it,
Speaker 1: like yeah yeah, breakdancing has becomes a little flaatef I
Speaker 1: like though too, Like when you look at the Olympic website,
Speaker 1: like it's it's not even break dancing. They call like breaking, yo,
Speaker 1: Like that's just wild that somebody canna be like I'm
Speaker 1: the Olympic gold medalist in breaking and again this is
Speaker 1: decades decades late.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be fun though, it would be fun to watch,
Speaker 2: I mean see that than like some crazy antique you know,
Speaker 2: cross country skiing and shooting skeet or whatever that is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know what they said. They have
Speaker 1: to adapt their style and improvise to the of the
Speaker 1: DJ's tracks in a bid to secure the judges votes
Speaker 1: and take home the first Olympic breaking medals.
Speaker 4: So hey, how many how many people do you think
Speaker 4: are gonna use not like us?
Speaker 1: Well, it looks like too. I don't think you look
Speaker 1: based on what I'm reading, I think the DJ, whoever
Speaker 1: the Olympic DJ is, is the one who to choose. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So I don't think I think for them, they have
Speaker 1: to respond to what the DJ is putting out there.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. You know he's gonna play that?
Speaker 2: Do you think? Yeah? Could you know he's gonna play it?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 2: Go on hold the phone. Yeah. Are they gonna drug
Speaker 2: test the breakdancers?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: They can't. That's what I'm talking about. That's insanity.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think. I mean what, they'll.
Speaker 2: Disqualify every team, could you imagine?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Like not Stone ever, I'm sure there are people who
Speaker 1: are like breaking for Christ kind of people.
Speaker 2: Now you like, I'm on the street and narrow. It'd
Speaker 2: be a long time ago. But maybe I mean, like
Speaker 2: back in the day, they were probably just drunk and
Speaker 2: break dancing, maybe because it was harder to get weed,
Speaker 2: but I never heard of, you know, in the eighties,
Speaker 2: they probably were more drunk. But but I mean, I
Speaker 2: just can't imagine them. It's gonna be the least they're
Speaker 2: gonna be, like, listen, we're hobbled. In the interviews. They'll
Speaker 2: be like, we're gonna be hobbled obviously from the fact
Speaker 2: that we're not gonna be stoned. But I think, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, and I think that will be an advantage
Speaker 2: to the Swiss team, who are gonna be fucking stone cold,
Speaker 2: sober and break dancing to Huey Lewis and the news.
Speaker 4: I can't wait.
Speaker 1: Just wow, someone's gonna be like, you know, I was
Speaker 1: an Olympic DJ.
Speaker 2: The Swiss win, you know what I mean? Because they're like, well, yeah,
Speaker 2: because you know we didn't. We don't.
Speaker 1: I feel like, there can't. You can't drug test for
Speaker 1: something like break dancing.
Speaker 2: Who knows, you know? De yeah, right man?
Speaker 4: DJ another the influence bro, we got to just qualify
Speaker 4: you from.
Speaker 2: Just sober DJ.
Speaker 4: But this ain't the only thing. This ain't the only
Speaker 4: new thing this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what else is there?
Speaker 4: You're about to tell us about a little al Michaels.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the new thing which amongst other events, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think flag football might be twenty twenty
Speaker 1: eight anyway, or maybe it's this year again. I'm so
Speaker 1: focused on just watching people run because I'm not good
Speaker 1: at it. But al Michaels is going to be back
Speaker 1: for the Paris Olympics. And when I say al Michaels,
Speaker 1: I mean NBC will be using an AI generated al
Speaker 1: Michael's voice to narrate what they call quote customized Olympic
Speaker 1: recaps and what I guess you know, the like it
Speaker 1: will say someone's name, like your name, like this is
Speaker 1: al Michaels and Jock Keyes, this is your Olympic update.
Speaker 1: This is something al Michael's clear like he's he's part
Speaker 1: of this because he helped create the voice model, and
Speaker 1: I'm assuming they gave him some kind of bags of
Speaker 1: money to do this. But it's weird because if you remember,
Speaker 1: NBC dropped him from the NFL playoffs because people were
Speaker 1: complaining that he had quote lost.
Speaker 2: It and was dud quote boring now.
Speaker 4: But I guess people are fine with like the robot
Speaker 4: version well, you know, because they could bring them back
Speaker 4: to his heyday. You know it's gonna be nineteen eighties
Speaker 4: al Michael or nineteen yes Michael. I hope they age
Speaker 4: them through every clip like one one is early al
Speaker 4: Michael and then the next to see now, al Michael.
Speaker 2: Who is that for?
Speaker 1: I think it's just it's just again because everything's about no,
Speaker 1: everything's just everything. Everyone's just trying to do AI, like
Speaker 1: on some level, like to be like, hey, and this
Speaker 1: is our cause. Again this is a huge like we've talked,
Speaker 1: We talked about this in a lot of episodes. You know,
Speaker 1: Wall Street is so just big on AI that it's
Speaker 1: permeating through all these companies now to sort of evangelize
Speaker 1: AI or embrace it or make it part of a thing,
Speaker 1: to sort of normalize like, oh, there'll be AI this
Speaker 1: for that no one asked for, Like Eurovision Sport used
Speaker 1: AI last year, and IBM provided AI commentary for the
Speaker 1: US Open and Wimbledon.
Speaker 2: That shit did not go well.
Speaker 1: For one article talking about it said that the announcers
Speaker 1: sounded like, quote Helen Mirren, if she'd just been hit
Speaker 1: with a polo mallet and your uncle from Queen's trying
Speaker 1: to do a Hugh Grant impression. That's how things were
Speaker 1: coming off. And so and after that they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not bringing it back this year because it sounded
Speaker 1: like this was kind of an l for everybody. So yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think, yeah, Chris, you're I.
Speaker 2: Think like you're talking well, you're talking about You're talking
Speaker 2: about another thing where it's a decision made by these
Speaker 2: old motherfuckers who run these networks are still like, you
Speaker 2: know what we need, We need to keep al Michaels
Speaker 2: in the mix forever. Like what the fuck these people
Speaker 2: cannot I mean, this is all connected to like why
Speaker 2: I was mad at the Jimmy Web concert, And the
Speaker 2: reason why is because they don't read the room, because
Speaker 2: they don't give a fuck. They are so up their
Speaker 2: own ass that they will talk for twenty minutes about
Speaker 2: Laurel Canyon and not know it's fifty years ago. Fuckhead,
Speaker 2: fifty fifty years years ago. That means in nineteen eighty
Speaker 2: that would be you talking about nineteen thirty and taking
Speaker 2: up all the airwaves with nineteen thirty and taking up
Speaker 2: and bringing back AI versions of fucking flappers like you fuckers,
Speaker 2: like let it fucking go, let us let them not meet.
Speaker 2: Look at I'm in the middle somewhere. I guess I should.
Speaker 2: I might be able to vote for another couple of years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my model.
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is turn it over to the
Speaker 2: people who want to make progress. Is like I cannot
Speaker 2: wait for these people. These people need to fall out.
Speaker 2: These things get fly out as soon as possible.
Speaker 1: But when you talked about this on previous episodes, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like the reason why these people are still in
Speaker 1: powers because they are the They tend to the garden
Speaker 1: of this form of capitalism, and they they do not
Speaker 1: want to give the tools to another generation that is
Speaker 1: looking to make things more equitable.
Speaker 2: Oh, Michael, I can't. Yeah, it's like, oh, we're gonna
Speaker 2: have Howard Ai Howard Cosell announce the Olympics, Like actually,
Speaker 2: I would be cool with ye or Harry Carrey, Harry
Speaker 2: carry like if you go go and you go go
Speaker 2: us like give us like the personalities from back in
Speaker 2: the day or some shit or go new is just
Speaker 2: right in the middle where it's like who gives a fuck?
Speaker 1: Because you know, like some people are pointing out that
Speaker 1: like back in those days, right like and we there's
Speaker 1: just like radio or like black and white television or
Speaker 1: not HD television, you needed big personalities like Harry Carey
Speaker 1: or Vince Scully people like that to kind of make
Speaker 1: the broadcast a little more interesting. And as like the
Speaker 1: fidelity has gone up, like the personalities, you have noticed
Speaker 1: like they kind of just dial those back because they're
Speaker 1: not as important. And that's not the case for every
Speaker 1: single sports broadcast. But that's the one thing people pointed
Speaker 1: out is because some of the broadcasters are partly owned
Speaker 1: by the teams themselves, so now they're like, well, now
Speaker 1: this is our brand and now we got to worry
Speaker 1: about how it's being talked about, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1: So it's a different energy. But Chris Crofton, it was
Speaker 1: a pleasure having you on the daily.
Speaker 2: Thank you having me as usual. It's always so much fun.
Speaker 1: Where do the people find you? Follow you, get get,
Speaker 1: just get just get the best of you on the.
Speaker 2: Internet sadly on Instagram at The Crofton Show and on
Speaker 2: Twitter at the Crofton Show. And I also am on Threads,
Speaker 2: but I don't go on there very much. I'm trying
Speaker 2: to go on more. It actually is sort of nice
Speaker 2: to go onto a place where the trending topics aren't
Speaker 2: all all all right, yeah, greatest hits. But so those
Speaker 2: two things. You can order my book, The Advice King
Speaker 2: Anthology on I don't care where you get it. You know,
Speaker 2: don't go to don't go through the Vanderbilt Vanderbilt University
Speaker 2: website because it will take you the rest of your life.

Speaker 2: in that book are for Amazon. It'll take down. You
Speaker 2: read that book, you'll take down Amazon.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: It's instructions to take down. We're working from the inside.
Speaker 1: Order the book, taking it to the inside. Hell yeah, man,
Speaker 1: that's what we were doing in the eighties, man, the inside.
Speaker 2: And also, so listen to my podcast Colebrew got me
Speaker 2: like because like I think it's it's we have a
Speaker 2: solid little fan base, but it's really I talk about
Speaker 2: very deeply about politics and uh like about societal stuff.
Speaker 2: And also we talk about you know, Bigfoot and minus
Speaker 2: you know, abandoned minds and just crap. But we do
Speaker 2: the crack, We do the you know, the fun stuff too,
Speaker 2: And that's about it and then just uh, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think if I have any any tour
Speaker 2: things to announce now. I'll have something soon, but nothing
Speaker 2: right now.

Speaker 2: was killed in a gunfight in nineteen thirteen. And they
Speaker 2: found him hanging in a funhouse at an amusement park
Speaker 2: in Long Beach in like nineteen seventy eight, because they
Speaker 2: were shooting a six million dollar Man episode and they

Speaker 2: mummy in it. It was called a rag bag. That
Speaker 2: was like they're put down, like if you didn't have
Speaker 2: a mummy in your side show, it was a rag bag. Anyway,
Speaker 2: it's an incredible documentary and I I I probably should
Speaker 2: have used it as one of my fucking overrated underrateds
Speaker 2: instead of what I fucking said, which is a bunch
Speaker 2: of craziness. But uh, anyway, this, uh, I'm gonna find
Speaker 2: it right now. But it's called it's called like if
