1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,279
Speaker 1: So let's clean out the sound fridge.

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 2: Aw, we've got a bunch of great audio the crew

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 2: got together that we didn't get to.

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: This is an example.

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: You could call it nutpicking, which is an expression I

6
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: really don't like. It's where you pick out a particularly

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: wacky member of the other ideology and feature them.

8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: But this one, I just think number one.

9
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: There's so many of these, And the setup is you're

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: not supposed to say, Wow, that's a person with real

11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: mental problems who needs help. You're supposed to say, oh,

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: you're so brave. Clip number five Michael the.

13
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 3: First trans woman to have a successful uterus transplant oversent

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 3: eggs included. And I want to be the first trans

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 3: woman to have an abortion.

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 3: I will let a doctor who has successfully transplanted a

18
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: uterine complex before cut the organs out of a willing,

19
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: healthy trans masculine donor place them in my body. I

20
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: will devote myself, heart and soul to their aftercare. And

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 3: I want to be the first trans woman to have

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: an abortion.

23
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: You are full on metal, ill and evil.

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.

25
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 4: And any doctor who would perform that surgery knowing that

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 4: those are his plans.

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I should lose their no, God, that is just sick.

28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: That's somebody who has terrible mental problems. And you're right,

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: it is not picking to a certain extent, it's taking

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: like an extreme example of the people you don't agree

31
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: with in kind of act and then trying to pretend

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: sometimes that it represents a large point of view, which

33
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: I'm sure this does not. But though Joe Biden met

34
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: with that poor, unfortunate Dylan mulvaney character to show how

35
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: down he was with the trans folks, absolutely, and uh

36
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: well and bud Light thought it was important enough to

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: make it part of their advertising campaign to their demise.

38
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: But where did that video audio come from? I mean,

39
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: how what platform was that on to even be they

40
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: posted it online on I think it was TikTok wow,

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: and the people who compile crazy progressives, you know, retweeted

42
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: it or whatever. There's a lot of things that go

43
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: into this phenomenon that's happening right now. But part of

44
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: it is everybody needs to be famous or you know,

45
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: seen or liked or whatever, and you know it's getting

46
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: harder and harder to do. It's a crowded field, so

47
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: you have to be so out there to get some

48
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: attention and well, you talk about it's leading attention.

49
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 4: Well, and he's talking about a willing, trans masculine man.

50
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: So is that a woman who's becoming a man who

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 4: doesn't want her puss anymore?

52
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 2: Yeah? Correct, Oh yes, I don't.

53
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 5: Math like this. This isn't working in my head.

54
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I got to admit at some point, and

55
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: I'll bet I'm not the only one. As he was

56
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: describing who he was going to do what with and

57
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: that they were trans this and masculine, I was I

58
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: was like, I need a chart. I'm losing track of,

59
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: like who's who's going to bring the sperm to this party?

60
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: Because I'm lost, for instance, who's.

61
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 5: Bringing the sperm and the bonus hols to this party?

62
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: Oh boy, again with that term. Oh oh, So. I

63
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: saw a bud Light commercial I think was it was

64
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: during the All Star Game, which, as we record, this

65
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: was last night, and I didn't watch much of it

66
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: because my beloved Giants have angered me and I'm just

67
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: not a baseball fan anymore. I'm but the bud Light

68
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: commercial and they never enunciated it, but it was like

69
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: people screwing up.

70
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: A guy, you know, dropping the meat on the way

71
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: to the grill.

72
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: I can't remember the specifics, and somebody spilling something, and

73
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: then somebody breaking something, and then it went to bud Light.

74
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: So easy to drink, so easy to enjoy, And it

75
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: didn't occur to me until I was like, oh, oh,

76
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: they're making light of the fact that they really fed up,

77
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: and their commercial theme is look at everybody. Everybody f's

78
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: up now and again, Yeah, dropping the ribs on the

79
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: ground is not the same as making a decision. I'm

80
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: sure there were a half dozen or more people involved

81
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 2: in of a giant marketing campaign. Yeah, not to.

82
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: Take this too serious, leave it very briefly.

83
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: What the bud Light is a beautiful example of is

84
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: that Anheuser Busch, or at least the people involved in

85
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: the bud Light marketing became convinced, perhaps because they're personally

86
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: down with it, but became convinced that that very tiny

87
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: but outsized minority of Americans who pitches all this radical

88
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: gender theory stuff represents most people. They got fooled. Yeah,

89
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: and then reality which bat's last. Speaking of baseball, I said,

90
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: not so much. We'll drink any other beer, literally, any

91
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: other beer. Well, let's keep cleaning out the sad fridge.

92
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: Thanks metal guy. Ah, let's see. Oh, Michael, do you

93
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: want to introduce clip eleven? Is there anything we need

94
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: to know?

95
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 4: Oh?

96
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 6: Yeah.

97
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 7: A kid goes into Dunkin Donuts and he has four

98
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 7: dollars with him and he wants some strawberry donuts and uh.

99
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 7: He basically ends up wanting to get a few donuts

100
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 7: and ends up with the whole box. Okay, so he

101
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 7: explains how how he got him.

102
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: Because they didn't have the type of donut I wanted.

103
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 2: She gave me a deal. I could get cold strawberry

104
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 2: donuts for the price of one, and I decided, can

105
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: I get two for that deal?

106
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 5: So I could to pipe my month.

107
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 8: Of you.

108
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 5: I wanted some munchkins, but they didn't have that either.

109
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: She gave me the right.

110
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 5: You all of them.

111
00:05:52,839 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: There is a tool really pleased poor dollars. That is

112
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: one very pleased woman with the number of cheap donuts

113
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 2: you got. Wow, our sun drives a hard bargain too.

114
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: What do you mean you're out of munchkins? Holy cal

115
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: How are we gonna make this right? I'm asked people,

116
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: the manager.

117
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 5: Please Karen in the making.

118
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, how are we gonna make this right? It's

119
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: because I'm black, right, or a child or a woman

120
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: or something.

121
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 5: E being racistly out of munchkins.

122
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: He's gonna end up running a hedge fund or something.

123
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on that. You send them trans didn't you,

124
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: And that's why you wouldn't make more of these? Would

125
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: you like me to go public line? Oh God, give

126
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 2: him as many donuts as he wants to get him

127
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: out of here, Michael, any introduction necessary to twelve Katie

128
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: might be able to relate to this. This is when

129
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: a guy gives you mixed signals. He is why he's

130
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: giving you mixed signals.

131
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 9: He's even unsure about you the relationship or boy, if

132
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 9: he's truly interested, he'll put in the effort consistently. So

133
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 9: don't waste your time on a guy who's indecisive. Your

134
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 9: job is not to convince someone, but to find someone

135
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 9: who doesn't need convincing. If a guy stop talking to you,

136
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 9: remember this quote. If your absence doesn't bother them, your

137
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 9: presence never mattered to them. You don't belong with someone

138
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 9: who doesn't want you. He's done you a favor by

139
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 9: eliminating himself.

140
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: That's a good one.

141
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: Spitting truth.

142
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 5: No, my reaction is duck.

143
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's one of the best things that Sex

144
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: and the City ever came up with. That whole he's

145
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: just not that into me thing as opposed to torturing

146
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: yourself for both men and women, as opposed to torturing yourself. Well,

147
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: why somebody is you know, didn't call you back or

148
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: they always I've just been so busy, don't you know.

149
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: Don't tie myself into knots because I've done this over it.

150
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: They just they don't dig you that much, So move on.

151
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not shocked to hear you say that, Katie.

152
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: We don't know you well, we've only worked together a

153
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: fairly short time, but you do strike me as more

154
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: tethered to reality as opposed to what you wish were

155
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: reality than some folks.

156
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I appreciate that, and I feel like

157
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: if you're dating somebody and they aren't calling you back,

158
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 4: and this is the fifth time that he says, oh

159
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: I was busy, Hello, wake up. But I think it's

160
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 4: pretty obvious he doesn't want to talk to you.

161
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: It's tough, though, if you really really want something to

162
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: be true, though, to let go of that, I mean,

163
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: that's easier said yeah, oh yeah, that's why you have

164
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: to like rededicate yourself to clinging to reality over and

165
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: over again in your life. If he isn't being bothered

166
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: by your absence, he didn't care much about your presence. Yeah,

167
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 2: that's pretty good that Yeah, no kidding, right, Gun doubled

168
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: me over. Oh and let's end on a positive note,

169
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 2: shall we, Michael, why don't you go ahead.

170
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: And roll thirteen?

171
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 2: Then I've got the details if we need him? Well,

172
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 2: it means you want to do murder mystery.

173
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: Oh, I just always love.

174
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 10: I do a little bit of TikTok and when so,

175
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 10: I think I'm gonna go ahead and get a second one.

176
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 10: I'm gonna gift it on there and see if we

177
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 10: can get you a little bit of love on there.

178
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 4: Oh.

179
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 10: Thanks, I want to thank everybody for the love and

180
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 10: the kindness on the video. That red post is totally unexpected.

181
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: I'm in shock.

182
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 10: I don't even know what to say about it at

183
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 10: the moment. I'm trying to wrap my head around it.

184
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 10: Thank you again for all the kindness.

185
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: So here's the story.

186
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: This gent who is He looks to be I would

187
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: say in his sixties, well into his sixties. He's a

188
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: retired man, a veteran of the Armed Services, and he

189
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: is living his lifelong dream of being an author. But

190
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 2: he was sitting alone and ignored at a folding table

191
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: at his local grocery store in Texas with his novel,

192
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: hoping people might ask him about it or if he

193
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: could sign a copy or something like that. That's I

194
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: don't come across that. That often tables with novelists sitting there,

195
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: and the image heartbreaking? Are you interested in my novel?

196
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: I gotta get out to my car.

197
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's so funny.

198
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: And you're right, Katie, I have this weird thing where

199
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: if I'm like at a craft fair, Judy and I,

200
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: you know, whatever the August days or whatever the what

201
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: sits festival, and I'll walk through the craft fair and

202
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 2: it hurts my heart, like everybody who's sitting there alone

203
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: in their booth being ignored, some old lady who who

204
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: paints glass and puts a little string on it that

205
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 2: you can hang from something. Yeah, and nobody and nobody's

206
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: nobody's coming by her booth, and you know she puts

207
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 2: a lot of time and effort into that, and put

208
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 2: some time and effort to showing up to the little

209
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: you know, garlic festival, and yeah, it's painful for me too.

210
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: The guy with the nice cutting boards whatever, I just it'

211
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: it's painful anyway, And I don't have the heart to say,

212
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: wake up, granny, nobody's interested in your colored glass. Oh

213
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 2: oh folks abuse, Oh lord, soulless.

214
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 5: Jack runs around screaming at grannies.

215
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: Anyway.

216
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: So uh this TikToker, uh shaw Jared Sweringen. He he

217
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: walked into the store and he sees this guy and

218
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 2: he wonders what's going on, and he figures out he's

219
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 2: got a book to sell it on and he walks

220
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: back out to his car and he says to himself,

221
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: wait a minute, I keep thinking about this guy.

222
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back in and talk to him.

223
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 2: And so he talked to him, and he videoed him,

224
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: and as he said in the caption, he said, you

225
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 2: know what, let me put this on my TikTok.

226
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: Maybe we would get you some love.

227
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: The guy describing his book and everything Think rockets to

228
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 2: the top of the best seller lists. The freaking power

229
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: of the Internet. Is a book any good model? Or

230
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 2: is it just a whole bunch of people feeling like

231
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: you were describing where we feel bad for the old guy.

232
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: He tried to write a novel. It's a dream, you

233
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: know what.

234
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 4: It happened so quickly, I would imagine they probably went

235
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 4: straight to Amazon and gave him a high rating. But

236
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 4: his books did sell out that day as well. It

237
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 4: was a dark and stormy night.

238
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: Lee Howard and the Ghosts of Simmons Pierce Manner. Sounds good.

239
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: Are the hardy boys in it? Sounds like the hardy

240
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: boys are in it? That would be a copyright infringement, Jack,

241
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: But it's a ghost, an orphaned girl who uses the

242
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: help of ghostly companions to solve the murder of her parents.

243
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: All right, it's all telling stuff, man, all the execution

244
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: obviously pelling stuff. Okay, that's ultimately a story about kindness

245
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: and the kind spirit of a humanity. That's what it is.

246
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 2: I think it is, unless it turns out his TikToker

247
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: dude demanded a cut. Oh, somebody is going to the

248
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: Internet's gonna get a hold of the old guy and

249
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: find out anything he's ever done untoward in his life.

250
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: No change the story around.

251
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 4: No nursery stores a weird spot for a book signing,

252
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 4: it is, That's what I'm saying, you're trying to reach

253
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: the pickles, and this guy's sitting there with his books

254
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 4: the table.

255
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: So I walked by the one table says can you

256
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 2: give us some money for youth sports? And then I

257
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: got him to the other table. It's a guy with

258
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 2: a novel I don't.

259
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 5: And then on the way out, you're being sold chocolate bars.

260
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: Right exactly. Well, but inside the story even you're thinking, yeah,

261
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: I got to get some some ground beef for the

262
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: hamburgers tonight.

263
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: You gotta get buns and.

264
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: Ketchup, and probably ought to find a good summer beach

265
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: rad too. An obscure novel, said nobody, but sounds good.

266
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: I mean they solved the murder of her parents. Favor that, right,

267
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: if it gone unsolved, it'd be disappointed. Well, right, yeah,

268
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: I guess these sound. Fridge is now reasonably clean. Yeah,

269
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: that mayonnaise was past it to date. I'm glad I

270
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 2: didn't open it. Jack Armstrong and Joe Armstrong and Getty show,

271
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: my son brought up I thought we were gonna eat

272
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 2: Rocky Mountain oysters when we were in Kansas, and I forgot.

273
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: He's been wanting to try Rocky Mountain oysters, which have

274
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: you ever been anywhere, Katie. You're a lifetime Bay Area person.

275
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 2: They probably don't have Rocky Mountain oysters anywhere there. No,

276
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: I have not had Rocky Mountain oysters. But it was

277
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: as common as anything could be as bar food for me,

278
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: like in college and that sort of stuff. Cow testicles

279
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: fried up, and I told my son we'd try them

280
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: when we were back in which you taught us see

281
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: Grandma and Grandpa, but we forgot to wait. Well next time.

282
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: Oh darn, you know me. I believe it's karmically unacceptable.

283
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: It's just, you know, I don't belong to any religion

284
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: that forbids me from eating any particular foods. But I've

285
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: crafted my own set of beliefs, and I will not

286
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: eat another man's even if it is a cow man.

287
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: I will not eat another creature's testicules.

288
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 4: What about juggling them, I asked, Because I did that.

289
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 4: I juggled pig testicles for charity. Oh really I did.

290
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 4: They were quite slick.

291
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: M That is one of my favorite things you've ever said.

292
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't see that coming. I juggled pig

293
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: testicles for charity. They were quite slick.

294
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

295
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: The feed loss in Western Kansas used to once or

296
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 2: so they'd have what they called a ball fry because

297
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: they had such a so many of them built up

298
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: over a year of castration. Had a ball fry, and

299
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: that's everybody would come out, and that's how you go

300
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: through them all. Well, I suppose it is putting them

301
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 2: to use as opposed to just throw them.

302
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, wasting or juggling them like some sort of savage.

303
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 4: It was entertaining. So now we played tug war with

304
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 4: the intestines after.

305
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: It was a long day. Oh my lord. Yeah.

306
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 4: We called it the meat circus. It was a whole thing. Yeah,

307
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 4: what was the charity?

308
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 5: I can't remember what it was.

309
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 4: It was something that was going against PETA, though I

310
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 4: remember donating to like I think it was a butcher

311
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 4: shop or something.

312
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: So we were a fundamentalist militia. The charity wasn't The

313
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: charity wasn't neuticles for ball less hogs? Was it that?

314
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, weird circular logic thing there. Uh So

315
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: this reminded me of a Saturday A Live bit from

316
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: Saturday Night. The the idea because these rocky Mountain oysters,

317
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: you can get him with your cheeseburger, where you've got

318
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: fries or that or whatever, and they did you see

319
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: the shrimp tower skit on Saturday Night Live James Broland.

320
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: That's what makes so funny. One of the greatest actors

321
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: of all time playing the lead role. Anyways, he's throwing

322
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: a very fancy party and he has a shrimp tower

323
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: and it's just, you know, a little shrimp built up

324
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 2: to the shape of a tower. Anyway, he called it

325
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: the thinking Man's mozzarella Stick, which I thought, I'm very funny.

326
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: That is dryly hilarious. That is funny.

327
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: I'll have to seek that out.

328
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: So we're about to play a clip at John Cougar

329
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: mellencamp uh talking at a concert. Is this one of

330
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: the concerts that he's doing with Willie Nelson and Bob

331
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: Dylan or is he on his own here on his

332
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: own hair? So he's touring with I know he's going

333
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 2: to be I think at the Hollywood Bowl in LA

334
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 2: which I'd like to see melonhead Willie Nelson and the

335
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: ancient Bob Dylan. Of course, Bob Dylan's not ancient compared

336
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: to Willie Nelson, who just turned ninety, right, it's got

337
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 2: to be something when he sings. I was just reading

338
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 2: the set list on these concerts, and Willie sings among

339
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: these classics. Funny, how time slips away? Did it slip away?

340
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: You've been on ninety years. I don't think it slipped away.

341
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 2: Something happened to you when you were thirty, Eh, it

342
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: was sixty years ago. It didn't just slip away. But

343
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 2: I thought the set list would be interesting. It's not.

344
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: Really.

345
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: It's pretty much the songs you expect, melonhead sings, pink houses,

346
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: and you know that sort of stuff. I wonder why

347
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: he's touring. A couple of years ago, he said he

348
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: had no interest in being a jukebox. If people didn't

349
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: particularly want to hear new music or new versions of

350
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 2: old songs, that's fine.

351
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: He had no interest in being a juke.

352
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: He did get a tooth knocked out by his kid,

353
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 2: like a year or so ago. Did that cause him

354
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 2: any financial difficulties? He and his son got a fistfight.

355
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: I don't imagine he can afford basic dentistry. But I

356
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: don't know. I have no idea of his financial wherewithal.

357
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 2: Why is will he doing it? That's just what he does.

358
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 2: I don't think he can imagine any other life right,

359
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 2: And like Keith Richards the Rolling Stones, why in the

360
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 2: world would they play more shows, much less launch a

361
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: giant tour. Well, I think Willie, that's what they do.

362
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 2: Will he's paying off his tax debts, right. I don't

363
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 2: know if he still has that, But that story was

364
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 2: thirty years ago, Michael. But he also he travels with

365
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: his sons. I've watched some of the videos from the

366
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: bus and his kids are like sixty so, but he

367
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: travels with the sons who are in the band too,

368
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 2: so it's probably probably a pretty good time. I mean,

369
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 2: what would be better than that? Really? Actually, I can't

370
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: think of anything that would be better than that. So,

371
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 2: and then Bob Dylan. I don't know what Bob Dylan's doing. Yeah,

372
00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: he is exactly. He doesn't need the money or the

373
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: acclaim or the Maybe he likes hotels. I don't know.

374
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 2: But John Cougar is on stage for a while, and

375
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: do we need to know anything else about that? No,

376
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: he starts, he's just talking to the crowd. Okay, here

377
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: we go, and she went.

378
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 8: It's just like he ready to be a smart like

379
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 8: when I'm talking to Jesus.

380
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: And then it got real quiet.

381
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 6: What do you think, I mean an, hey, Joe, find

382
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 6: this guy and then they see him after the show. Anyway,

383
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 6: before I was a celubating, ruptured.

384
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: Guys. I can stopped this show right now.

385
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 11: I'm just doing.

386
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: Since you've been so wonderful. IM had to cut about

387
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: ten songs.

388
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 4: Out of the show.

389
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: So that's a tape of did he actually leave? Wow?

390
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: And he actually left? That's not cool. Don't let an

391
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 2: a hole and the show. So you heard that the

392
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: crowd was entirely on your side? Was one guy? So

393
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: it's into a story. Some guy play some music, which

394
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: is hurtful if you're telling a story that you think

395
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: is either funny or important or something like that. Right,

396
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 2: and but yeah, I think the rest of the crowd

397
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 2: was at least willing to listen to your story, if

398
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: not enthusiastic about it. Yeah, that was week.

399
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: No, it sounded like they were with him. They laughed

400
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: at the joke and everything. It was just fine.

401
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 4: And some of them even went ah, hey at the

402
00:20:58,880 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 4: guy who interrupted him.

403
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: A lot of people did.

404
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

405
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 2: So then he plays like six bars of Jack and leaves.

406
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: Wow.

407
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's old and bitter.

408
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 5: I enough time for that.

409
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: I have thought about this a lot. I so on

410
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: Charlie Rose, which I miss a lot, the TV show

411
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: he had in the same week. I think John Mellencamp

412
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: and John Prine. If you don't know Joan Prine, he

413
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: was a very old singer songwriter who never had commercial

414
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: success like John Mellencamp, but was hugely adored by people

415
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,959
Speaker 2: who like music anyway. He died COVID, but had him

416
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 2: on both that week. So they're both super old and

417
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: at the end of their careers. And it struck me

418
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: how John Prine had what I hope I can have

419
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 2: when I'm old, but I don't think I can because

420
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: I don't even have it now. He just had. He

421
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: just had like a rye. This is kind of funny,

422
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 2: isn't it? View of old I mean, this is almost

423
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 2: amusing what this is like, the health problems and the

424
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: this and the that, and the kids and the marriage

425
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: and just the way these songs were like that too.

426
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: But John Mellencamp was clearly a bitter It went by

427
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 2: too fast, sad, and I relate to those feelings. But

428
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 2: just you know, I wish I wish I were still thirty,

429
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 2: you know, that sort of thing, And I thought those

430
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: are there's two really good examples. Has nothing to do

431
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 2: with being famous. Of how you approach getting older. You

432
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 2: either just accept it and kind of enjoy it and

433
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 2: marvel at its everything that's it's evolved, or be really

434
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: bitter that you're not thirty and cool anymore, like Mellencamp was.

435
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 2: And I just thought that was interesting, and I think

436
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: heard a little of it there. Yeah, I think, Well,

437
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: let me start with this. Was playing golf the other

438
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: day and we saw some distance away a mutual friend

439
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: talked about him a little bit. One of the most

440
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 2: cheerful guys you've ever met. This guy wakes up in

441
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 2: the morning, cheerful, he goes to bed cheerful. He's just

442
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: made like that, and it's it's an amazing blessing. And

443
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: I commented to my buddy, who also has a more

444
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: than one kid, I said, anybody who's raised multiple kids

445
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 2: knows you come out of the womb like that, or

446
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 2: you don't. I've always said, and this number is pulled

447
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 2: out of my imagination that you got maybe about fifteen

448
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 2: twenty percent around the edges. You can push yourself in

449
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 2: this way or push yourself in that way, but you

450
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: are who you are.

451
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: And I just I don't know.

452
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: Could John Mellencamp have ever been John Prine in his

453
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 2: old age? Maybe?

454
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: I don't know.

455
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 2: I don't know either. You're I think you're right about that.

456
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: And at fifteen and twenty percent, you could either go

457
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 2: fifteen percent more bitter and awful or fifteen percent more

458
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 2: cheerful and optimistic, and that that makes a big difference

459
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 2: in your life. I'm not saying it's insignificant. I'm just

460
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 2: saying my body, his name is Dan, I was born annoyed.

461
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: I'm never going to be Dan, right, And I love

462
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: the guy and we're good friends. Actually, I think my

463
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: acerbic eye rolling view of the world is amusing to him,

464
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: and blah blah whatever it works. The one thing I know,

465
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 2: and I try, I've tried to be honest about this

466
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: with myself. All of us want, all of us attribute

467
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 2: our good qualities to choice and our bad qualities to genetics.

468
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

469
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: I got a strength of character.

470
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the good things about me are because I

471
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 2: chose to be that way and I worked hard to

472
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: be that right. I gotta admit when I when I

473
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 2: was taking in the two different attitudes about growing over

474
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: and your and your your best days being behind you.

475
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: I related to the emotions of John Mellencamp a lot

476
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: more than John Bryn. I'd like to be like John Bryan,

477
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 2: but I feel in my head, in my heart more

478
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: like John Mellencamp, whatever reason, because I think I'm born

479
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 2: that way. I was, this is where I am. Yeah.

480
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: And then there's the question of epigenetics, which is one

481
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 2: of my favorite things I've ever learned. You have your genetics,

482
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: but then you've got a bunch of things in your genes.

483
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 2: You try to end up with a half cat half

484
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: dog sort of situation.

485
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: Is that what that is? Yeah, that's that's right exactly.

486
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, No, it's there are like triggers that you

487
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 2: have genetically, and if certain things happen to you or

488
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: you run into them, that those switches might be flipped.

489
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 2: But if you don't go through those things, they won't

490
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 2: be If your environment is you have good nutrition or whatever,

491
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 2: it'll never.

492
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: Manifest itself itself.

493
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 2: It's not like the entirety of who you are is

494
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 2: determined by your genetics. Your experience in your life plays

495
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 2: a role too in various ways. But you know, we're

496
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: in the early days of really understanding that stuff. I

497
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: just remember so they both sang songs that week and

498
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: on Prime Song at that time. This is the last

499
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 2: album before he died. I think it was When I

500
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 2: Get to Heaven. And there's a line in there something

501
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: about I'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on the tilted whirl,

502
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna smoke a cigarette that's nine miles long. It's

503
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 2: it's like looking back on the best parts of your

504
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: life and wanting to relive them, or getting to smoke

505
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: cigarette again. And John Couer had a line in his

506
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: song and all your best efforts don't amount to anything anymore,

507
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: And I thought, wow, that's just such two different views

508
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: of where you are at the end of your career.

509
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 2: And one of you is happy and one of you

510
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: is miserable. But like you said, maybe you can't control that.

511
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. That's interesting acceptance is

512
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 2: that how much of that is inborn, your capacity to

513
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: just accept your life and it's reality. I'm gonna be

514
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: a really bitter old person. I think I'm pretty bitter

515
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: young person. Yeah, well I can see that I will

516
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 2: be quite self deprecating, but a bitter old person. The

517
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty Show, Yeah, yeah, your shoe podcasts and

518
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: our hot links.

519
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 12: Fathers get a day, but we get a month of

520
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 12: alphabet soup. I like to the alternate people, what I

521
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 12: don't think that's society is this.

522
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 2: I think that's the point of Pride Month. And that's

523
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: so it's all due respect to my my gay friends

524
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: who are uniformly with the meme I saw the other day.

525
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: LGB is all we need.

526
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 2: The rest is not us well, and it's not just

527
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 2: a month, as you know, there are a whole bunch

528
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 2: of other weeks and days around the same theme throughout

529
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: the years, so it's not just a month a year,

530
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 2: ye know.

531
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: But fathers get a day.

532
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: And the reason that popped into my mind is we

533
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 2: have some kind of Father's Day related stuff and you know,

534
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: maybe it would have been better then because fathers only

535
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 2: get one day. Then you ought to shut up about

536
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 2: the importance of fathers. Hey, you weren't here on Friday

537
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 2: when Katie and I and Michael had the discussion that

538
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 2: we've had for many years of looking for a Father's

539
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: Day card and trying to find one that's not a

540
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 2: joke about flatulence or drinking beer or watching TV. Mother's

541
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: Day cards are all you know, there are some joke

542
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 2: Mother's Day cards, but there's tons of how important and

543
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 2: valued and crucial mothers are. Dad's Day cards are all

544
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 2: jokes about yeah what I just said, Yeah, yeah, very true.

545
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: So anyway, why would be we be in the least

546
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: hesitant to continue Father's Day thoughts or respect or that

547
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 2: sort of thing. Let's begin with Clip Tenant's Tristan Cassas Casas.

548
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: He's a Boston Red Sox player telling a story about

549
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: his dad.

550
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 8: So I'm in coach pitch and you know, I'm so young,

551
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 8: I don't really know what's going on at this point. Still,

552
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 8: I'm still just playing baseball just to burn calaries and

553
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 8: get out there and get some son right. And you know,

554
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 8: I get out one day and I come back to

555
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 8: the dug out crying, pissed. And you know, that's that's

556
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 8: what a six year old does. He sits on the

557
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 8: bench and he cries, and he doesn't want to go

558
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 8: out there when you know his team's playing defense. So

559
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 8: my dad, you know, being the dad that he is

560
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 8: trying to teach me the lessons that he did in

561
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 8: his own special way, came into the dugout. He actually

562
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 8: grabbed me by my shirt dragged me to the line

563
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 8: and Looney Tunstyle kicked me out onto the field and

564
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 8: actually had one of my best friends that I went

565
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 8: to high school with later he ended up playing pro ball.

566
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 8: His mom actually called child Services on my dad at

567
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 8: the field. No, no, no, for there's no joke at the field.

568
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 8: I see my dad go away in the cop car

569
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 8: gets arrested. Send the nice of joke here. But that day,

570
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 8: that day, my dad taught me a super valuable lesson

571
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 8: that not not a lot of people know. And it's

572
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 8: that I had a responsibility to my teammates, I had

573
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 8: a responsibility to my coaches, to the parents that showed

574
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 8: up that day, all the fans who were at that

575
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 8: little league game, whatever it may be, to go out

576
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 8: there and my best effort, no matter how I was

577
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 8: feeling on the bench, no matter what I was going

578
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 8: through that day, or whatever little hardship that I was

579
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 8: feeling when I got out, that I still apply every

580
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 8: single time, because sometimes I just want to sit down

581
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 8: on this bench after I get out, and I want

582
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 8: to weave and I want to cry. But that's that's

583
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 8: not how baseball is. So yeah, I love my dad

584
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 8: to death. I wouldn't have this opportunity without him. But yeah,

585
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 8: funny little excerpt that's about that. That's the type of

586
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 8: that my dad is. So that's true.

587
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: That.

588
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: I like the Looney Tuthes reference that it is.

589
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 2: An amazing story.

590
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 4: That took a turn though she called CPS and they

591
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 4: actually spent the night in jail.

592
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, wow, did.

593
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: Not see that coming.

594
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: Wow.

595
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a good story.

596
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: Also, like the fact that he's six and he said

597
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: the reason he was playing was to burn calories and

598
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 2: to get some sun. I never thought about that when

599
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: I was six, and I better work off this pop

600
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: tart cool second shot with chip cookie was totally unnecessary.

601
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go play some baseball. Yeah, that's that's funny.

602
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 2: It reminds me of a conversation we've had before that,

603
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: you know, the and it's a cliche, and certainly the

604
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: roles overlap. But when little Johnny skins his knee, Mom is,

605
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: oh honey, oh no, and Dad's like, you'll be fine,

606
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 2: You'll be great, and that whole And I remember my

607
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: dad was my baseball coach a lot too, and he

608
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: would come out to the mound when I was pitching,

609
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: and I've said this told this story before too. He'd

610
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: say get this guy out, or I'm gonna pull you.

611
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 2: And it wasn't cruelty. It was a way to focus

612
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: me and to say, you know, you have a job

613
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 2: to do.

614
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: Here is what it is. I'm not out of here.

615
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: I'm not out here to tell you everything's gonna be okay,

616
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: because telling you go do it is telling you everything's

617
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 2: gonna be okay. Telling you I You're fine, go run

618
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: and play is that's a empowering message. To look at

619
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: me a man to man, even as like a fifteen

620
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 2: year old, and say focus, get this guy out.

621
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 6: That's it.

622
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:20,280

00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: if you're a bad coach.

629
