WEBVTT - The A&G Replay Thursday Hour Two

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.279
<v Speaker 1>So let's clean out the sound fridge.

0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Aw, we've got a bunch of great audio the crew

0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:06.200
<v Speaker 2>got together that we didn't get to.

0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:08.360
<v Speaker 1>This is an example.

0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:11.000
<v Speaker 2>You could call it nutpicking, which is an expression I

0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 2>really don't like. It's where you pick out a particularly

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 2>wacky member of the other ideology and feature them.

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.240
<v Speaker 1>But this one, I just think number one.

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:24.759
<v Speaker 2>There's so many of these, And the setup is you're

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 2>not supposed to say, Wow, that's a person with real

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 2>mental problems who needs help. You're supposed to say, oh,

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 2>you're so brave. Clip number five Michael the.

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 3>First trans woman to have a successful uterus transplant oversent

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 3>eggs included. And I want to be the first trans

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 3>woman to have an abortion.

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god.

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 3>I will let a doctor who has successfully transplanted a

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 3>uterine complex before cut the organs out of a willing,

0:00:55.560 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 3>healthy trans masculine donor place them in my body. I

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 3>will devote myself, heart and soul to their aftercare. And

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 3>I want to be the first trans woman to have

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 3>an abortion.

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 2>You are full on metal, ill and evil.

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah.

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 4>And any doctor who would perform that surgery knowing that

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 4>those are his plans.

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I should lose their no, God, that is just sick.

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 2>That's somebody who has terrible mental problems. And you're right,

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 2>it is not picking to a certain extent, it's taking

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 2>like an extreme example of the people you don't agree

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 2>with in kind of act and then trying to pretend

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 2>sometimes that it represents a large point of view, which

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure this does not. But though Joe Biden met

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 2>with that poor, unfortunate Dylan mulvaney character to show how

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 2>down he was with the trans folks, absolutely, and uh

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 2>well and bud Light thought it was important enough to

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 2>make it part of their advertising campaign to their demise.

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 2>But where did that video audio come from? I mean,

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 2>how what platform was that on to even be they

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>posted it online on I think it was TikTok wow,

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 2>and the people who compile crazy progressives, you know, retweeted

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 2>it or whatever. There's a lot of things that go

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 2>into this phenomenon that's happening right now. But part of

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>it is everybody needs to be famous or you know,

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 2>seen or liked or whatever, and you know it's getting

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>harder and harder to do. It's a crowded field, so

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>you have to be so out there to get some

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 2>attention and well, you talk about it's leading attention.

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, and he's talking about a willing, trans masculine man.

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 4>So is that a woman who's becoming a man who

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 4>doesn't want her puss anymore?

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Correct, Oh yes, I don't.

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 5>Math like this. This isn't working in my head.

0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, I got to admit at some point, and

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 2>I'll bet I'm not the only one. As he was

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 2>describing who he was going to do what with and

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>that they were trans this and masculine, I was I

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 2>was like, I need a chart. I'm losing track of,

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 2>like who's who's going to bring the sperm to this party?

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm lost, for instance, who's.

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 5>Bringing the sperm and the bonus hols to this party?

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, again with that term. Oh oh, So. I

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 2>saw a bud Light commercial I think was it was

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 2>during the All Star Game, which, as we record, this

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 2>was last night, and I didn't watch much of it

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>because my beloved Giants have angered me and I'm just

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 2>not a baseball fan anymore. I'm but the bud Light

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>commercial and they never enunciated it, but it was like

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 2>people screwing up.

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>A guy, you know, dropping the meat on the way

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>to the grill.

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember the specifics, and somebody spilling something, and

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 2>then somebody breaking something, and then it went to bud Light.

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 2>So easy to drink, so easy to enjoy, And it

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 2>didn't occur to me until I was like, oh, oh,

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 2>they're making light of the fact that they really fed up,

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 2>and their commercial theme is look at everybody. Everybody f's

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>up now and again, Yeah, dropping the ribs on the

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 2>ground is not the same as making a decision. I'm

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 2>sure there were a half dozen or more people involved

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:30.720
<v Speaker 2>in of a giant marketing campaign. Yeah, not to.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Take this too serious, leave it very briefly.

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 2>What the bud Light is a beautiful example of is

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 2>that Anheuser Busch, or at least the people involved in

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 2>the bud Light marketing became convinced, perhaps because they're personally

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 2>down with it, but became convinced that that very tiny

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 2>but outsized minority of Americans who pitches all this radical

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 2>gender theory stuff represents most people. They got fooled. Yeah,

0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>and then reality which bat's last. Speaking of baseball, I said,

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 2>not so much. We'll drink any other beer, literally, any

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 2>other beer. Well, let's keep cleaning out the sad fridge.

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Thanks metal guy. Ah, let's see. Oh, Michael, do you

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 2>want to introduce clip eleven? Is there anything we need

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 2>to know?

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 7>A kid goes into Dunkin Donuts and he has four

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 7>dollars with him and he wants some strawberry donuts and uh.

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.279
<v Speaker 7>He basically ends up wanting to get a few donuts

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 7>and ends up with the whole box. Okay, so he

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 7>explains how how he got him.

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Because they didn't have the type of donut I wanted.

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 2>She gave me a deal. I could get cold strawberry

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.720
<v Speaker 2>donuts for the price of one, and I decided, can

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I get two for that deal?

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 5>So I could to pipe my month.

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 8>Of you.

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 5>I wanted some munchkins, but they didn't have that either.

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 2>She gave me the right.

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 5>You all of them.

0:05:52.839 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 2>There is a tool really pleased poor dollars. That is

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 2>one very pleased woman with the number of cheap donuts

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.840
<v Speaker 2>you got. Wow, our sun drives a hard bargain too.

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.720
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean you're out of munchkins? Holy cal

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 2>How are we gonna make this right? I'm asked people,

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 2>the manager.

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 5>Please Karen in the making.

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, exactly, how are we gonna make this right? It's

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 2>because I'm black, right, or a child or a woman

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 2>or something.

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 5>E being racistly out of munchkins.

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna end up running a hedge fund or something.

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.599
<v Speaker 2>Keep an eye on that. You send them trans didn't you,

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 2>And that's why you wouldn't make more of these? Would

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 2>you like me to go public line? Oh God, give

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 2>him as many donuts as he wants to get him

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 2>out of here, Michael, any introduction necessary to twelve Katie

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>might be able to relate to this. This is when

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 2>a guy gives you mixed signals. He is why he's

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 2>giving you mixed signals.

0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 9>He's even unsure about you the relationship or boy, if

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 9>he's truly interested, he'll put in the effort consistently. So

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.840
<v Speaker 9>don't waste your time on a guy who's indecisive. Your

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 9>job is not to convince someone, but to find someone

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 9>who doesn't need convincing. If a guy stop talking to you,

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 9>remember this quote. If your absence doesn't bother them, your

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 9>presence never mattered to them. You don't belong with someone

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 9>who doesn't want you. He's done you a favor by

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 9>eliminating himself.

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 2>That's a good one.

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Spitting truth.

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 5>No, my reaction is duck.

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, that's one of the best things that Sex

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 2>and the City ever came up with. That whole he's

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 2>just not that into me thing as opposed to torturing

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 2>yourself for both men and women, as opposed to torturing yourself. Well,

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 2>why somebody is you know, didn't call you back or

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 2>they always I've just been so busy, don't you know.

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Don't tie myself into knots because I've done this over it.

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 2>They just they don't dig you that much, So move on.

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm not shocked to hear you say that, Katie.

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 2>We don't know you well, we've only worked together a

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.240
<v Speaker 2>fairly short time, but you do strike me as more

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 2>tethered to reality as opposed to what you wish were

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 2>reality than some folks.

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean I appreciate that, and I feel like

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.960
<v Speaker 4>if you're dating somebody and they aren't calling you back,

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 4>and this is the fifth time that he says, oh

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 4>I was busy, Hello, wake up. But I think it's

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 4>pretty obvious he doesn't want to talk to you.

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 2>It's tough, though, if you really really want something to

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 2>be true, though, to let go of that, I mean,

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 2>that's easier said yeah, oh yeah, that's why you have

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 2>to like rededicate yourself to clinging to reality over and

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 2>over again in your life. If he isn't being bothered

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 2>by your absence, he didn't care much about your presence. Yeah,

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:39.319
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty good that Yeah, no kidding, right, Gun doubled

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:43.560
<v Speaker 2>me over. Oh and let's end on a positive note,

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.439
<v Speaker 2>shall we, Michael, why don't you go ahead.

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.199
<v Speaker 1>And roll thirteen?

0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.679
<v Speaker 2>Then I've got the details if we need him? Well,

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.440
<v Speaker 2>it means you want to do murder mystery.

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I just always love.

0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.079
<v Speaker 10>I do a little bit of TikTok and when so,

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 10>I think I'm gonna go ahead and get a second one.

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 10>I'm gonna gift it on there and see if we

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:05.520
<v Speaker 10>can get you a little bit of love on there.

0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh.

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.480
<v Speaker 10>Thanks, I want to thank everybody for the love and

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 10>the kindness on the video. That red post is totally unexpected.

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm in shock.

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.199
<v Speaker 10>I don't even know what to say about it at

0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 10>the moment. I'm trying to wrap my head around it.

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 10>Thank you again for all the kindness.

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 1>So here's the story.

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 2>This gent who is He looks to be I would

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 2>say in his sixties, well into his sixties. He's a

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 2>retired man, a veteran of the Armed Services, and he

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 2>is living his lifelong dream of being an author. But

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.559
<v Speaker 2>he was sitting alone and ignored at a folding table

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 2>at his local grocery store in Texas with his novel,

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.800
<v Speaker 2>hoping people might ask him about it or if he

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.560
<v Speaker 2>could sign a copy or something like that. That's I

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 2>don't come across that. That often tables with novelists sitting there,

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 2>and the image heartbreaking? Are you interested in my novel?

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I gotta get out to my car.

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's so funny.

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 2>And you're right, Katie, I have this weird thing where

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 2>if I'm like at a craft fair, Judy and I,

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, whatever the August days or whatever the what

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.440
<v Speaker 2>sits festival, and I'll walk through the craft fair and

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:28.680
<v Speaker 2>it hurts my heart, like everybody who's sitting there alone

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 2>in their booth being ignored, some old lady who who

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.840
<v Speaker 2>paints glass and puts a little string on it that

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:40.319
<v Speaker 2>you can hang from something. Yeah, and nobody and nobody's

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.600
<v Speaker 2>nobody's coming by her booth, and you know she puts

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.079
<v Speaker 2>a lot of time and effort into that, and put

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:46.960
<v Speaker 2>some time and effort to showing up to the little

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, garlic festival, and yeah, it's painful for me too.

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 2>The guy with the nice cutting boards whatever, I just it'

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 2>it's painful anyway, And I don't have the heart to say,

0:10:56.160 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 2>wake up, granny, nobody's interested in your colored glass. Oh

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:06.560
<v Speaker 2>oh folks abuse, Oh lord, soulless.

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 5>Jack runs around screaming at grannies.

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Anyway.

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 2>So uh this TikToker, uh shaw Jared Sweringen. He he

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 2>walked into the store and he sees this guy and

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.079
<v Speaker 2>he wonders what's going on, and he figures out he's

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:20.679
<v Speaker 2>got a book to sell it on and he walks

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.320
<v Speaker 2>back out to his car and he says to himself,

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 2>wait a minute, I keep thinking about this guy.

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go back in and talk to him.

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.080
<v Speaker 2>And so he talked to him, and he videoed him,

0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 2>and as he said in the caption, he said, you

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.680
<v Speaker 2>know what, let me put this on my TikTok.

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we would get you some love.

0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 2>The guy describing his book and everything Think rockets to

0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 2>the top of the best seller lists. The freaking power

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 2>of the Internet. Is a book any good model? Or

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.320
<v Speaker 2>is it just a whole bunch of people feeling like

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 2>you were describing where we feel bad for the old guy.

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:56.960
<v Speaker 2>He tried to write a novel. It's a dream, you

0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 2>know what.

0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 4>It happened so quickly, I would imagine they probably went

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 4>straight to Amazon and gave him a high rating. But

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 4>his books did sell out that day as well. It

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 4>was a dark and stormy night.

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Lee Howard and the Ghosts of Simmons Pierce Manner. Sounds good.

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Are the hardy boys in it? Sounds like the hardy

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 2>boys are in it? That would be a copyright infringement, Jack,

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 2>But it's a ghost, an orphaned girl who uses the

0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.320
<v Speaker 2>help of ghostly companions to solve the murder of her parents.

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, it's all telling stuff, man, all the execution

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 2>obviously pelling stuff. Okay, that's ultimately a story about kindness

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 2>and the kind spirit of a humanity. That's what it is.

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.719
<v Speaker 2>I think it is, unless it turns out his TikToker

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 2>dude demanded a cut. Oh, somebody is going to the

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Internet's gonna get a hold of the old guy and

0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 2>find out anything he's ever done untoward in his life.

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 2>No change the story around.

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 4>No nursery stores a weird spot for a book signing,

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 4>it is, That's what I'm saying, you're trying to reach

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:53.640
<v Speaker 4>the pickles, and this guy's sitting there with his books

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:54.320
<v Speaker 4>the table.

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 2>So I walked by the one table says can you

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:57.559
<v Speaker 2>give us some money for youth sports? And then I

0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 2>got him to the other table. It's a guy with

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:00.679
<v Speaker 2>a novel I don't.

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.679
<v Speaker 5>And then on the way out, you're being sold chocolate bars.

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Right exactly. Well, but inside the story even you're thinking, yeah,

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 2>I got to get some some ground beef for the

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 2>hamburgers tonight.

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:09.960
<v Speaker 1>You gotta get buns and.

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Ketchup, and probably ought to find a good summer beach

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 2>rad too. An obscure novel, said nobody, but sounds good.

0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean they solved the murder of her parents. Favor that, right,

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 2>if it gone unsolved, it'd be disappointed. Well, right, yeah,

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I guess these sound. Fridge is now reasonably clean. Yeah,

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.080
<v Speaker 2>that mayonnaise was past it to date. I'm glad I

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:37.200
<v Speaker 2>didn't open it. Jack Armstrong and Joe Armstrong and Getty show,

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 2>my son brought up I thought we were gonna eat

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Rocky Mountain oysters when we were in Kansas, and I forgot.

0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 2>He's been wanting to try Rocky Mountain oysters, which have

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 2>you ever been anywhere, Katie. You're a lifetime Bay Area person.

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.439
<v Speaker 2>They probably don't have Rocky Mountain oysters anywhere there. No,

0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.199
<v Speaker 2>I have not had Rocky Mountain oysters. But it was

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 2>as common as anything could be as bar food for me,

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.440
<v Speaker 2>like in college and that sort of stuff. Cow testicles

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.240
<v Speaker 2>fried up, and I told my son we'd try them

0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 2>when we were back in which you taught us see

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Grandma and Grandpa, but we forgot to wait. Well next time.

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh darn, you know me. I believe it's karmically unacceptable.

0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 2>It's just, you know, I don't belong to any religion

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 2>that forbids me from eating any particular foods. But I've

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.720
<v Speaker 2>crafted my own set of beliefs, and I will not

0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 2>eat another man's even if it is a cow man.

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I will not eat another creature's testicules.

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:37.200
<v Speaker 4>What about juggling them, I asked, Because I did that.

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 4>I juggled pig testicles for charity. Oh really I did.

0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 4>They were quite slick.

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 2>M That is one of my favorite things you've ever said.

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, I didn't see that coming. I juggled pig

0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 2>testicles for charity. They were quite slick.

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 2>The feed loss in Western Kansas used to once or

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 2>so they'd have what they called a ball fry because

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.040
<v Speaker 2>they had such a so many of them built up

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 2>over a year of castration. Had a ball fry, and

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 2>that's everybody would come out, and that's how you go

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 2>through them all. Well, I suppose it is putting them

0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 2>to use as opposed to just throw them.

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, wasting or juggling them like some sort of savage.

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 4>It was entertaining. So now we played tug war with

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 4>the intestines after.

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 2>It was a long day. Oh my lord. Yeah.

0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 4>We called it the meat circus. It was a whole thing. Yeah,

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 4>what was the charity?

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:36.240
<v Speaker 5>I can't remember what it was.

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:39.200
<v Speaker 4>It was something that was going against PETA, though I

0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 4>remember donating to like I think it was a butcher

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:42.040
<v Speaker 4>shop or something.

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 2>So we were a fundamentalist militia. The charity wasn't The

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 2>charity wasn't neuticles for ball less hogs? Was it that?

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, weird circular logic thing there. Uh So

0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 2>this reminded me of a Saturday A Live bit from

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Saturday Night. The the idea because these rocky Mountain oysters,

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 2>you can get him with your cheeseburger, where you've got

0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 2>fries or that or whatever, and they did you see

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 2>the shrimp tower skit on Saturday Night Live James Broland.

0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.480
<v Speaker 2>That's what makes so funny. One of the greatest actors

0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.800
<v Speaker 2>of all time playing the lead role. Anyways, he's throwing

0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 2>a very fancy party and he has a shrimp tower

0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 2>and it's just, you know, a little shrimp built up

0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 2>to the shape of a tower. Anyway, he called it

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 2>the thinking Man's mozzarella Stick, which I thought, I'm very funny.

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:41.960
<v Speaker 2>That is dryly hilarious. That is funny.

0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll have to seek that out.

0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 2>So we're about to play a clip at John Cougar

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 2>mellencamp uh talking at a concert. Is this one of

0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 2>the concerts that he's doing with Willie Nelson and Bob

0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Dylan or is he on his own here on his

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 2>own hair? So he's touring with I know he's going

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:05.359
<v Speaker 2>to be I think at the Hollywood Bowl in LA

0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:10.679
<v Speaker 2>which I'd like to see melonhead Willie Nelson and the

0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 2>ancient Bob Dylan. Of course, Bob Dylan's not ancient compared

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:18.240
<v Speaker 2>to Willie Nelson, who just turned ninety, right, it's got

0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:19.879
<v Speaker 2>to be something when he sings. I was just reading

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 2>the set list on these concerts, and Willie sings among

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.320
<v Speaker 2>these classics. Funny, how time slips away? Did it slip away?

0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.920
<v Speaker 2>You've been on ninety years. I don't think it slipped away.

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.439
<v Speaker 2>Something happened to you when you were thirty, Eh, it

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:34.600
<v Speaker 2>was sixty years ago. It didn't just slip away. But

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.439
<v Speaker 2>I thought the set list would be interesting. It's not.

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Really.

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:44.480
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty much the songs you expect, melonhead sings, pink houses,

0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:48.840
<v Speaker 2>and you know that sort of stuff. I wonder why

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.520
<v Speaker 2>he's touring. A couple of years ago, he said he

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 2>had no interest in being a jukebox. If people didn't

0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.560
<v Speaker 2>particularly want to hear new music or new versions of

0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:58.640
<v Speaker 2>old songs, that's fine.

0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:00.200
<v Speaker 1>He had no interest in being a juke.

0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.560
<v Speaker 2>He did get a tooth knocked out by his kid,

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 2>like a year or so ago. Did that cause him

0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.680
<v Speaker 2>any financial difficulties? He and his son got a fistfight.

0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't imagine he can afford basic dentistry. But I

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I have no idea of his financial wherewithal.

0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Why is will he doing it? That's just what he does.

0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he can imagine any other life right,

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:25.919
<v Speaker 2>And like Keith Richards the Rolling Stones, why in the

0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.919
<v Speaker 2>world would they play more shows, much less launch a

0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 2>giant tour. Well, I think Willie, that's what they do.

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Will he's paying off his tax debts, right. I don't

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:36.199
<v Speaker 2>know if he still has that, But that story was

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 2>thirty years ago, Michael. But he also he travels with

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 2>his sons. I've watched some of the videos from the

0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.040
<v Speaker 2>bus and his kids are like sixty so, but he

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:45.560
<v Speaker 2>travels with the sons who are in the band too,

0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:47.399
<v Speaker 2>so it's probably probably a pretty good time. I mean,

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.880
<v Speaker 2>what would be better than that? Really? Actually, I can't

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 2>think of anything that would be better than that. So,

0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.920
<v Speaker 2>and then Bob Dylan. I don't know what Bob Dylan's doing. Yeah,

0:18:55.960 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 2>he is exactly. He doesn't need the money or the

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>acclaim or the Maybe he likes hotels. I don't know.

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.359
<v Speaker 2>But John Cougar is on stage for a while, and

0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:11.879
<v Speaker 2>do we need to know anything else about that? No,

0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 2>he starts, he's just talking to the crowd. Okay, here

0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 2>we go, and she went.

0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.960
<v Speaker 8>It's just like he ready to be a smart like

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:21.960
<v Speaker 8>when I'm talking to Jesus.

0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 2>And then it got real quiet.

0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 6>What do you think, I mean an, hey, Joe, find

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:44.400
<v Speaker 6>this guy and then they see him after the show. Anyway,

0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.640
<v Speaker 6>before I was a celubating, ruptured.

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Guys. I can stopped this show right now.

0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 11>I'm just doing.

0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Since you've been so wonderful. IM had to cut about

0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:01.800
<v Speaker 2>ten songs.

0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:02.119
<v Speaker 4>Out of the show.

0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:23.040
<v Speaker 2>So that's a tape of did he actually leave? Wow?

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:27.320
<v Speaker 2>And he actually left? That's not cool. Don't let an

0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.919
<v Speaker 2>a hole and the show. So you heard that the

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:34.600
<v Speaker 2>crowd was entirely on your side? Was one guy? So

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:37.520
<v Speaker 2>it's into a story. Some guy play some music, which

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:39.320
<v Speaker 2>is hurtful if you're telling a story that you think

0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:42.000
<v Speaker 2>is either funny or important or something like that. Right,

0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:46.399
<v Speaker 2>and but yeah, I think the rest of the crowd

0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:49.200
<v Speaker 2>was at least willing to listen to your story, if

0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.560
<v Speaker 2>not enthusiastic about it. Yeah, that was week.

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.200
<v Speaker 1>No, it sounded like they were with him. They laughed

0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:56.280
<v Speaker 1>at the joke and everything. It was just fine.

0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:58.879
<v Speaker 4>And some of them even went ah, hey at the

0:20:58.880 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 4>guy who interrupted him.

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:01.520
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people did.

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:06.879
<v Speaker 2>So then he plays like six bars of Jack and leaves.

0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:11.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's old and bitter.

0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:12.920
<v Speaker 5>I enough time for that.

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I have thought about this a lot. I so on

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Rose, which I miss a lot, the TV show

0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:26.560
<v Speaker 2>he had in the same week. I think John Mellencamp

0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:28.960
<v Speaker 2>and John Prine. If you don't know Joan Prine, he

0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:33.760
<v Speaker 2>was a very old singer songwriter who never had commercial

0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:37.960
<v Speaker 2>success like John Mellencamp, but was hugely adored by people

0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:41.959
<v Speaker 2>who like music anyway. He died COVID, but had him

0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:43.919
<v Speaker 2>on both that week. So they're both super old and

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.840
<v Speaker 2>at the end of their careers. And it struck me

0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:50.560
<v Speaker 2>how John Prine had what I hope I can have

0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:51.920
<v Speaker 2>when I'm old, but I don't think I can because

0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't even have it now. He just had. He

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:57.560
<v Speaker 2>just had like a rye. This is kind of funny,

0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:01.439
<v Speaker 2>isn't it? View of old I mean, this is almost

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 2>amusing what this is like, the health problems and the

0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:05.600
<v Speaker 2>this and the that, and the kids and the marriage

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 2>and just the way these songs were like that too.

0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:13.560
<v Speaker 2>But John Mellencamp was clearly a bitter It went by

0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:18.639
<v Speaker 2>too fast, sad, and I relate to those feelings. But

0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:21.639
<v Speaker 2>just you know, I wish I wish I were still thirty,

0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, that sort of thing, And I thought those

0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 2>are there's two really good examples. Has nothing to do

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:32.159
<v Speaker 2>with being famous. Of how you approach getting older. You

0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:35.159
<v Speaker 2>either just accept it and kind of enjoy it and

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:39.920
<v Speaker 2>marvel at its everything that's it's evolved, or be really

0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:43.080
<v Speaker 2>bitter that you're not thirty and cool anymore, like Mellencamp was.

0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:46.120
<v Speaker 2>And I just thought that was interesting, and I think

0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:49.920
<v Speaker 2>heard a little of it there. Yeah, I think, Well,

0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:53.920
<v Speaker 2>let me start with this. Was playing golf the other

0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:58.080
<v Speaker 2>day and we saw some distance away a mutual friend

0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:01.040
<v Speaker 2>talked about him a little bit. One of the most

0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:03.480
<v Speaker 2>cheerful guys you've ever met. This guy wakes up in

0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:05.959
<v Speaker 2>the morning, cheerful, he goes to bed cheerful. He's just

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:09.280
<v Speaker 2>made like that, and it's it's an amazing blessing. And

0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:13.600
<v Speaker 2>I commented to my buddy, who also has a more

0:23:13.640 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 2>than one kid, I said, anybody who's raised multiple kids

0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:18.919
<v Speaker 2>knows you come out of the womb like that, or

0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 2>you don't. I've always said, and this number is pulled

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:26.399
<v Speaker 2>out of my imagination that you got maybe about fifteen

0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:28.919
<v Speaker 2>twenty percent around the edges. You can push yourself in

0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:30.960
<v Speaker 2>this way or push yourself in that way, but you

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 2>are who you are.

0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:34.639
<v Speaker 1>And I just I don't know.

0:23:35.840 --> 0:23:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Could John Mellencamp have ever been John Prine in his

0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:40.639
<v Speaker 2>old age? Maybe?

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know either. You're I think you're right about that.

0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:48.960
<v Speaker 2>And at fifteen and twenty percent, you could either go

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:53.400
<v Speaker 2>fifteen percent more bitter and awful or fifteen percent more

0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:56.600
<v Speaker 2>cheerful and optimistic, and that that makes a big difference

0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:59.359
<v Speaker 2>in your life. I'm not saying it's insignificant. I'm just

0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:04.360
<v Speaker 2>saying my body, his name is Dan, I was born annoyed.

0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:08.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm never going to be Dan, right, And I love

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 2>the guy and we're good friends. Actually, I think my

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:15.800
<v Speaker 2>acerbic eye rolling view of the world is amusing to him,

0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:19.359
<v Speaker 2>and blah blah whatever it works. The one thing I know,

0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:22.119
<v Speaker 2>and I try, I've tried to be honest about this

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:25.080
<v Speaker 2>with myself. All of us want, all of us attribute

0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:30.119
<v Speaker 2>our good qualities to choice and our bad qualities to genetics.

0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:30.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I got a strength of character.

0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all the good things about me are because I

0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:38.879
<v Speaker 2>chose to be that way and I worked hard to

0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 2>be that right. I gotta admit when I when I

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:45.640
<v Speaker 2>was taking in the two different attitudes about growing over

0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 2>and your and your your best days being behind you.

0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:53.320
<v Speaker 2>I related to the emotions of John Mellencamp a lot

0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 2>more than John Bryn. I'd like to be like John Bryan,

0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:58.440
<v Speaker 2>but I feel in my head, in my heart more

0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:02.320
<v Speaker 2>like John Mellencamp, whatever reason, because I think I'm born

0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:05.920
<v Speaker 2>that way. I was, this is where I am. Yeah.

0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:09.159
<v Speaker 2>And then there's the question of epigenetics, which is one

0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:11.840
<v Speaker 2>of my favorite things I've ever learned. You have your genetics,

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:14.000
<v Speaker 2>but then you've got a bunch of things in your genes.

0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:15.360
<v Speaker 2>You try to end up with a half cat half

0:25:15.440 --> 0:25:16.320
<v Speaker 2>dog sort of situation.

0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Is that what that is? Yeah, that's that's right exactly.

0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, No, it's there are like triggers that you

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:28.120
<v Speaker 2>have genetically, and if certain things happen to you or

0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:31.560
<v Speaker 2>you run into them, that those switches might be flipped.

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:35.200
<v Speaker 2>But if you don't go through those things, they won't

0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 2>be If your environment is you have good nutrition or whatever,

0:25:41.400 --> 0:25:42.120
<v Speaker 2>it'll never.

0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Manifest itself itself.

0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:46.879
<v Speaker 2>It's not like the entirety of who you are is

0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:51.160
<v Speaker 2>determined by your genetics. Your experience in your life plays

0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:54.080
<v Speaker 2>a role too in various ways. But you know, we're

0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:57.600
<v Speaker 2>in the early days of really understanding that stuff. I

0:25:57.640 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 2>just remember so they both sang songs that week and

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:02.280
<v Speaker 2>on Prime Song at that time. This is the last

0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:04.919
<v Speaker 2>album before he died. I think it was When I

0:26:04.920 --> 0:26:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Get to Heaven. And there's a line in there something

0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:09.560
<v Speaker 2>about I'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on the tilted whirl,

0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:12.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna smoke a cigarette that's nine miles long. It's

0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:15.679
<v Speaker 2>it's like looking back on the best parts of your

0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:17.440
<v Speaker 2>life and wanting to relive them, or getting to smoke

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 2>cigarette again. And John Couer had a line in his

0:26:20.359 --> 0:26:23.840
<v Speaker 2>song and all your best efforts don't amount to anything anymore,

0:26:24.240 --> 0:26:26.960
<v Speaker 2>And I thought, wow, that's just such two different views

0:26:27.000 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 2>of where you are at the end of your career.

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:32.159
<v Speaker 2>And one of you is happy and one of you

0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:34.720
<v Speaker 2>is miserable. But like you said, maybe you can't control that.

0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:41.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't know. That's interesting acceptance is

0:26:41.119 --> 0:26:44.159
<v Speaker 2>that how much of that is inborn, your capacity to

0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:47.000
<v Speaker 2>just accept your life and it's reality. I'm gonna be

0:26:47.000 --> 0:26:50.080
<v Speaker 2>a really bitter old person. I think I'm pretty bitter

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 2>young person. Yeah, well I can see that I will

0:26:56.960 --> 0:27:00.879
<v Speaker 2>be quite self deprecating, but a bitter old person. The

0:27:01.080 --> 0:27:04.919
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty Show, Yeah, yeah, your shoe podcasts and

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:06.440
<v Speaker 2>our hot links.

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:13.399
<v Speaker 12>Fathers get a day, but we get a month of

0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:19.040
<v Speaker 12>alphabet soup. I like to the alternate people, what I

0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:21.320
<v Speaker 12>don't think that's society is this.

0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:24.280
<v Speaker 2>I think that's the point of Pride Month. And that's

0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:27.040
<v Speaker 2>so it's all due respect to my my gay friends

0:27:27.640 --> 0:27:32.760
<v Speaker 2>who are uniformly with the meme I saw the other day.

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:35.000
<v Speaker 1>LGB is all we need.

0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:38.639
<v Speaker 2>The rest is not us well, and it's not just

0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:40.440
<v Speaker 2>a month, as you know, there are a whole bunch

0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:44.919
<v Speaker 2>of other weeks and days around the same theme throughout

0:27:44.920 --> 0:27:48.840
<v Speaker 2>the years, so it's not just a month a year,

0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:49.200
<v Speaker 2>ye know.

0:27:50.200 --> 0:27:51.280
<v Speaker 1>But fathers get a day.

0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:53.000
<v Speaker 2>And the reason that popped into my mind is we

0:27:53.040 --> 0:27:56.159
<v Speaker 2>have some kind of Father's Day related stuff and you know,

0:27:56.280 --> 0:27:59.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe it would have been better then because fathers only

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:01.399
<v Speaker 2>get one day. Then you ought to shut up about

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the importance of fathers. Hey, you weren't here on Friday

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:06.720
<v Speaker 2>when Katie and I and Michael had the discussion that

0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:10.159
<v Speaker 2>we've had for many years of looking for a Father's

0:28:10.200 --> 0:28:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Day card and trying to find one that's not a

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:15.919
<v Speaker 2>joke about flatulence or drinking beer or watching TV. Mother's

0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Day cards are all you know, there are some joke

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Mother's Day cards, but there's tons of how important and

0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:27.560
<v Speaker 2>valued and crucial mothers are. Dad's Day cards are all

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:33.640
<v Speaker 2>jokes about yeah what I just said, Yeah, yeah, very true.

0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:37.560
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, why would be we be in the least

0:28:37.600 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 2>hesitant to continue Father's Day thoughts or respect or that

0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:45.960
<v Speaker 2>sort of thing. Let's begin with Clip Tenant's Tristan Cassas Casas.

0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 2>He's a Boston Red Sox player telling a story about

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:50.000
<v Speaker 2>his dad.

0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:54.360
<v Speaker 8>So I'm in coach pitch and you know, I'm so young,

0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:56.440
<v Speaker 8>I don't really know what's going on at this point. Still,

0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:58.600
<v Speaker 8>I'm still just playing baseball just to burn calaries and

0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 8>get out there and get some son right. And you know,

0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:04.480
<v Speaker 8>I get out one day and I come back to

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:07.440
<v Speaker 8>the dug out crying, pissed. And you know, that's that's

0:29:07.480 --> 0:29:08.840
<v Speaker 8>what a six year old does. He sits on the

0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:10.360
<v Speaker 8>bench and he cries, and he doesn't want to go

0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:14.120
<v Speaker 8>out there when you know his team's playing defense. So

0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:16.600
<v Speaker 8>my dad, you know, being the dad that he is

0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:18.400
<v Speaker 8>trying to teach me the lessons that he did in

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 8>his own special way, came into the dugout. He actually

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:24.000
<v Speaker 8>grabbed me by my shirt dragged me to the line

0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 8>and Looney Tunstyle kicked me out onto the field and

0:29:28.280 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 8>actually had one of my best friends that I went

0:29:30.040 --> 0:29:32.040
<v Speaker 8>to high school with later he ended up playing pro ball.

0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:36.000
<v Speaker 8>His mom actually called child Services on my dad at

0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:39.120
<v Speaker 8>the field. No, no, no, for there's no joke at the field.

0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:40.959
<v Speaker 8>I see my dad go away in the cop car

0:29:41.000 --> 0:29:43.720
<v Speaker 8>gets arrested. Send the nice of joke here. But that day,

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:46.200
<v Speaker 8>that day, my dad taught me a super valuable lesson

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:49.520
<v Speaker 8>that not not a lot of people know. And it's

0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:51.520
<v Speaker 8>that I had a responsibility to my teammates, I had

0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 8>a responsibility to my coaches, to the parents that showed

0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:56.720
<v Speaker 8>up that day, all the fans who were at that

0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 8>little league game, whatever it may be, to go out

0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:01.480
<v Speaker 8>there and my best effort, no matter how I was

0:30:01.480 --> 0:30:04.080
<v Speaker 8>feeling on the bench, no matter what I was going

0:30:04.120 --> 0:30:07.040
<v Speaker 8>through that day, or whatever little hardship that I was

0:30:07.040 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 8>feeling when I got out, that I still apply every

0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:11.160
<v Speaker 8>single time, because sometimes I just want to sit down

0:30:11.160 --> 0:30:12.840
<v Speaker 8>on this bench after I get out, and I want

0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 8>to weave and I want to cry. But that's that's

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 8>not how baseball is. So yeah, I love my dad

0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:21.680
<v Speaker 8>to death. I wouldn't have this opportunity without him. But yeah,

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:24.200
<v Speaker 8>funny little excerpt that's about that. That's the type of

0:30:24.240 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 8>that my dad is. So that's true.

0:30:29.560 --> 0:30:29.760
<v Speaker 2>That.

0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I like the Looney Tuthes reference that it is.

0:30:32.720 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 2>An amazing story.

0:30:34.440 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 4>That took a turn though she called CPS and they

0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:39.360
<v Speaker 4>actually spent the night in jail.

0:30:39.520 --> 0:30:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, wow, did.

0:30:42.120 --> 0:30:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Not see that coming.

0:30:43.520 --> 0:30:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that is a good story.

0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Also, like the fact that he's six and he said

0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 2>the reason he was playing was to burn calories and

0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:54.240
<v Speaker 2>to get some sun. I never thought about that when

0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:56.760
<v Speaker 2>I was six, and I better work off this pop

0:30:56.800 --> 0:31:02.720
<v Speaker 2>tart cool second shot with chip cookie was totally unnecessary.

0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go play some baseball. Yeah, that's that's funny.

0:31:09.200 --> 0:31:11.240
<v Speaker 2>It reminds me of a conversation we've had before that,

0:31:11.720 --> 0:31:14.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, the and it's a cliche, and certainly the

0:31:15.240 --> 0:31:19.280
<v Speaker 2>roles overlap. But when little Johnny skins his knee, Mom is,

0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:22.480
<v Speaker 2>oh honey, oh no, and Dad's like, you'll be fine,

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:26.680
<v Speaker 2>You'll be great, and that whole And I remember my

0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:29.000
<v Speaker 2>dad was my baseball coach a lot too, and he

0:31:29.000 --> 0:31:30.680
<v Speaker 2>would come out to the mound when I was pitching,

0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:33.360
<v Speaker 2>and I've said this told this story before too. He'd

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:36.320
<v Speaker 2>say get this guy out, or I'm gonna pull you.

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:40.360
<v Speaker 2>And it wasn't cruelty. It was a way to focus

0:31:40.440 --> 0:31:43.760
<v Speaker 2>me and to say, you know, you have a job

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 2>to do.

0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Here is what it is. I'm not out of here.

0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:50.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm not out here to tell you everything's gonna be okay,

0:31:51.360 --> 0:31:55.640
<v Speaker 2>because telling you go do it is telling you everything's

0:31:55.640 --> 0:31:58.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna be okay. Telling you I You're fine, go run

0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 2>and play is that's a empowering message. To look at

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:07.080
<v Speaker 2>me a man to man, even as like a fifteen

0:32:07.120 --> 0:32:09.880
<v Speaker 2>year old, and say focus, get this guy out.

0:32:10.560 --> 0:32:10.880
<v Speaker 6>That's it.

0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 2>That's a compliment shift we've experienced. Yeah, i'd say, oh yeah,

0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I can't. Plus you know, as I've said before, I

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 2>was like you, damn right, I'm getting this guy out.

0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:28.960
<v Speaker 2>You're not pulling me. And it's just it's that's what

0:32:29.200 --> 0:32:33.160
<v Speaker 2>coaching is. That's what man to man coaching is. Now,

0:32:33.160 --> 0:32:34.960
<v Speaker 2>it can cross the line into being an a hole

0:32:35.000 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 2>if you're a bad coach.

0:32:36.160 --> 0:32:37.720
<v Speaker 1>But it was a very good coach.

0:32:37.760 --> 0:32:39.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Anxiety.

0:32:39.280 --> 0:32:42.280
<v Speaker 4>It's going to cause anxiety. This is reminding me of

0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:44.600
<v Speaker 4>a story my dad told me. He played football in

0:32:44.720 --> 0:32:47.480
<v Speaker 4>high school and my grandfather. His dad was a surgeon,

0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:50.600
<v Speaker 4>and my dad took a cleat to the shin during

0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:53.840
<v Speaker 4>a game and my granddad sewed him up in the

0:32:54.080 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 4>in the team team locker room and then said get

0:32:57.680 --> 0:32:58.680
<v Speaker 4>your ass back out there.

0:32:59.040 --> 0:33:01.680
<v Speaker 2>And this was during this of war. Yeah, pretty much,

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I as well been.

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Mid sixties.

0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 2>On the other hand, Katie, do we need any setup

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:12.880
<v Speaker 2>for clip twelve?

0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:13.840
<v Speaker 6>Uh?

0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:16.600
<v Speaker 4>No, this is just where we're headed if this woke

0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:17.680
<v Speaker 4>crap continues.

0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:22.360
<v Speaker 11>Hey, non binary offspring, Hey, non gender specific parent, just

0:33:22.400 --> 0:33:24.440
<v Speaker 11>wanted to let you know that dinner is ready if

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:25.120
<v Speaker 11>you consent to it.

0:33:25.160 --> 0:33:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Of course I don't. I don't consent.

0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:30.120
<v Speaker 11>Well, I was thinking maybe in an hour or so,

0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:31.640
<v Speaker 11>if you're up to it, me and your other non

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:33.840
<v Speaker 11>gender specific parent can sit in the living room and

0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:35.960
<v Speaker 11>breathe for a little bit if it doesn't trigger you.

0:33:36.000 --> 0:33:37.520
<v Speaker 11>Of course, you know, I'm not sure if I'm triggered

0:33:37.560 --> 0:33:40.200
<v Speaker 11>by that or offended. I quite honestly, I don't know

0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:43.000
<v Speaker 11>what to feel anymore. Trust me, I don't know either. Honey,

0:33:43.080 --> 0:33:44.880
<v Speaker 11>Oh my god, did you just call me honey?

0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god?

0:33:45.600 --> 0:33:48.680
<v Speaker 11>I am so sorry. That's harassment. Please don't tweet about this.

0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:51.880
<v Speaker 11>I already did. Well, it looks like my career is over. Well,

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:54.160
<v Speaker 11>maybe think twenty times before you talk. We'll have to

0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:56.000
<v Speaker 11>live on the streets. Well, that doesn't matter to me

0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:58.280
<v Speaker 11>because my feelings are more important than all of our

0:33:58.320 --> 0:34:00.640
<v Speaker 11>physical well beings. Okay, well, I'm gonna go into the

0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:02.320
<v Speaker 11>living room and cry I love you.

0:34:02.320 --> 0:34:04.040
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to say it back. I'm not going

0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:05.880
<v Speaker 2>to wow.

0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Parent and child in the year twenty sixty.

0:34:11.840 --> 0:34:13.960
<v Speaker 4>That's pretty good. I don't know if I'm triggered or offended.

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:15.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what I'm feeling anymore.

0:34:17.080 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe that dude's dad spent the night in jail. Yeah,

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:27.120
<v Speaker 2>all right, I gotta ask how hard did he kick him?

0:34:27.440 --> 0:34:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:33.160
<v Speaker 2>The boy looking back is he's full of love and

0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:36.040
<v Speaker 2>he did the right thing and laughing about it, So yeah,

0:34:36.040 --> 0:34:45.360
<v Speaker 2>he does. I don't know. That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, wow,

0:34:45.480 --> 0:34:46.480
<v Speaker 2>that's quite a story.

0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:47.360
<v Speaker 11>You know.

0:34:47.400 --> 0:34:50.920
<v Speaker 7>They kicked each other pretty hard in those Limny Tunes cartoons.

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Occasionally it was borderline brutality. Michael, you quit right, The

0:34:55.120 --> 0:34:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Armstrong and Getty Show
