I'm like I've got this new show starting today. 62 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: I literally have nothing to talk about until I saw this. 63 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: Your boy, Kim Jung Kim Chunk. Oh, he's returned, you know, 64 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: did you know he's he's been like absent for I 65 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: don't know what's he he's been in hiding for a 66 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: long time. I don't know if I don't know if 67 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: he's in hiding, but he hasn't been in the public 68 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: for a long time, and uh, he has resurfaced. He's 69 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: wearing his special I guess trademark leather trench coat, which 70 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: is is his look that in that flat ass hairstyle, 71 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: and it does look like he got a fresh cut, 72 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: but he's wearing the leather trench coat. But it turns 73 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: out since he's been in not hiding, I'm not gonna 74 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: say he's in hiding, because when you are the man 75 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: in a country like that, when you are the head 76 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: of the household, so to speak, you know, you come 77 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: and you go. All right, That's basically what it comes 78 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: down to. And he just hasn't been, you know, having 79 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: about lately. He's just kind of taking a breather. He's 80 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: he's back. But before he left, he was wearing this 81 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: leather trench coats kind of his look, and a lot 82 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: of people started picking up on it. It started with 83 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: just kind of the higher elites in North Korea. They 84 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: were getting trench coats just like it and wearing they 85 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: want to be like the boss, you know, which makes 86 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. I got to thinking about it 87 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: at the grocery store. I remember back in the day, 88 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: man the Boss would roll up with a brand new 89 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: pickup truck. Next thing, you know, a couple weeks later, 90 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: you got four or five of them bad boys in 91 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: the parking lot because everybody else wanted to be like 92 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: the boss, so they come rolling up with the brain 93 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: new pickup truck. But yeah, that's I don't know, that's 94 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: that's how it is in Nebraska. I don't know what 95 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: the equivalent of that would be, and like say New York, 96 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: but uh yeah, in Nebraska, boss rolls up with a 97 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: pickup truck. Shoot, that parking lot's gonna be full of trucks. 98 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: Nobody you know, hauling anything. Just a bunch of guys 99 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: with the trucks. But yeah, it is what it is. 100 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: But Kim Jong going, he's got this leather coat. Everyone 101 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: loves it. And then first it was the elites. Then 102 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: everybody else wanted one too, so then people in the 103 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: fashion industry of North Korea started importing like knockoffs of 104 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: it so that everybody could have, you know, this leather jacket. 105 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: Just like the Boss. He didn't like it. You know, 106 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: he he is a special, special person. He likes to 107 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: be a one of a kind. Uh, thus the haircut, 108 00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: and he banned the leather trench coat. Like there is 109 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: literal fashion police around the streets of North Korea causing havoc. 110 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: If you are wearing this jackets, it's something I will say. 111 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: The jacket keeps them warm. It is very stylish. He's 112 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: a stylish guy. It does look cool. I'm not wearing it. 113 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: I'm not gett involved with that. But like man, he's 114 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: a particular cat. I am starting to see though, like 115 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: why Dennis Rodman enjoyed hanging out with him, because he 116 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: just sees he just seems like he's got some goofy ideas, 117 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: you know, like just a conversation with him would be 118 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,239 Speaker 1: pretty interesting. I'm not opposed to having him on the show, 119 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: you know, for a Friday happy hour or something, you know, 120 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: have a beer or I don't know if he drinks. 121 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: But you don't have to drink to enjoy a happy hour. Okay, 122 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: you can have an appetizer. I just had some of 123 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: those crackers, like animal crackers dipped in Reese's peanut butter. 124 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: So good, very underrated. I'm shocked that they didn't like 125 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: sweep the nation when those were released in grocery stores 126 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: last year. But I don't know, They're pretty good. That's 127 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: what I had that in a lne in Coogle summer 128 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: Shandy Baby. It's happy hour. But man Kim Jong un 129 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: and the leather jacket got me thinking he may be 130 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: onto something. What's something in the household that you know what? 131 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: I don't want anybody else being a part of this 132 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: is this one's specifically just for me. I think a 133 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: lot of dads. I had moms too, but I think 134 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: a lot of parents could probably feel me on this one. 135 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: You know, sneaking that cookie or sneaking that treat right 136 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: before dinner. You know, usually the kids kids will see 137 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: that and be like, oh, yeah, I want one too. 138 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,599 Speaker 1: I don't mind. Just yesterday, you know, you're getting a 139 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: bowl of popcorn and going next thing. You know, Braden's 140 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: eying the whole Damn thing. What's up with that new rule? 141 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: New rule in the household? The only I get to 142 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: do that. I don't make the rules, just have to 143 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: enforce them. This is this is This one's a big one. 144 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: And I think this one is probably this is probably 145 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: very me, very jeremy specific, because I very much enjoy 146 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: doing this, I very much. I don't know that I 147 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: hate other people doing I just don't want the spotlight 148 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: to be taken. I'm just being honest with you. When 149 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm cleaning, you know, vacuuming, dusting, doing the dishes, doing laundry, 150 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: taking the trash out, mowing the lawn, edging the lawn, 151 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: you know, all the things, I like to sing and 152 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: I'll put headphones and but yeah, I'm singing loudly for 153 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: all to hear. Okay, I got no shame in it. 154 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: In fact, I like to think that it's really a 155 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: gift to you that you get to hear me sing, 156 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: because I you know, it's not something I do out 157 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: in the public. You know, I do in the privacy 158 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: of my own home. But it's a beautiful sight. And 159 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: others in the household have begun to do this, and 160 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they don't sound good. And I'm not 161 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: saying they, you know, can't have their own thing. But 162 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: what I'm saying is that's my thing. So we're just 163 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: gonna make that illegal. Now only I can sing loudly 164 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: while cleaning and performing chores. It just it makes that, 165 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: It just makes the most sense, you know, it's kind 166 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: of my thing. I don't know. Ken Jong, he's certainly 167 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 1: onto it, you know, he's he's onto something special. He 168 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: can just take a jazz kids and just say no more. 169 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: It is now illegal for all of you. The man, 170 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: those people that were like paying not the not the 171 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: people paying for the jackets have to wear I mean you, 172 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: I would assume you can wear the jacket in the 173 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: privacy of your own home. Just don't get caught. But 174 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: the businesses that you know brought in all these leather 175 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: trench coats because this is probably a popular item in 176 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: North Korea. You want to make the boss happy, and 177 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,599 Speaker 1: now they're stuck with them or I don't know, I 178 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: don't know, I just I don't know how that works. 179 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: But that's something if our you know, if our leaders 180 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: did something like that, I mean Trump, you'd be the 181 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 1: only one that could wear suits long ass ties That's 182 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: how I could see him doing that. That would probably 183 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:59,599 Speaker 1: be okay, it's a terrible look anyway. You know, he's 184 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: the only one they can have that comb over. That 185 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: would be that would be acceptable as well. I think 186 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: a lot of people would probably appreciate that. Okay, time 187 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: to just shave it off. You know, that would probably 188 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: give a lot of guys the confidence to just go 189 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: with it and end it, you know, not not the 190 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: life but the but the hit the combover itself and 191 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: just go ahead and buzz the hair. You might be 192 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: doing them a favor, you know, who knows, I don't know. 193 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: It's Friday Happy Hour and we are brought to you 194 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: by pot up, the ultimate podcasting platform.

I've been to countless like 216 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: happy hours, you know, with like coworkers, and you're just 217 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: kind of letting off some steam and it's you know, 218 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: it's obviously not working, not in the work hours, and 219 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: you're just you're hanging out, You're having some drinks. And 220 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: then once you have a few drinks and the laughs 221 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: are coming, you feel a little more comfortable. Start talking shop. 222 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: That's when the fights come, you know, that's when the 223 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: arguments start up. I've I've been I've been a part 224 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: of my fair share uh, and I just I saw something, uh, 225 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: the just the other day on social media. Our friend 226 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: Levetty Vegas. He's on there, he's talking about he was 227 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: he's going he deleted the he deleted. First of all, 228 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: I want to say, he deleted the posts, which he 229 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: tends to do on a daily basis. He'll he'll get 230 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: things stirred up and then just completely delete the posts. 231 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna call you out right now, buddy, that this 232 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: is something you do. But he was talking about how, 233 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: you know, people love to comment and engage with, you know, 234 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: something fun, like talking about out Drake diss tracks. But 235 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: when it's we're talking about like promoting his shows or 236 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: other shows in general, you know, people aren't as excited 237 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: about it. I gotta say, man, I don't know that 238 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: that's really the public plays they have to do that. 239 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: I mean, isn't it the job of the person posting 240 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: like it's their job to get the engagement going. And 241 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: he does a great job of getting engagement going when 242 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: he wants to. But then when you know, somebody posts something, hey, 243 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: come see me, you know Friday, blah blah blah blah blah, 244 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, they get upset. They don't get a whole 245 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: bunch of likes, they don't get some shares, you know, 246 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: or whatnot. Is it that's like back in the day 247 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: when you were starting a band, that you got your 248 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: fans together or family and friends, and you created street teams, 249 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: you know, or promotion teams, and those people made sure 250 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: that they promoted everything. You did everything, and then that 251 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: kind of made the that got the ball rolling, you know, 252 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: that got the message out there, and then eventually you 253 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: gain enough fans that it just started to happen all 254 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: on its own, along with any promo or promotion that 255 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: you're doing. I mean, isn't that how it works? But 256 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, guilt people into thinking they should engage 257 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: in something that necessarily isn't asking for engagement. I don't know, man, 258 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: I don't know about that one. But that's the kind 259 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: of stuff that after a couple of beers in a 260 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: Friday happy hour, I'll probably go to bat. I'll die 261 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: on that hill that it's that he's wrong on this one. 262 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: But it could be a friendly debate, Like I'm not 263 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: mad about it. I just have a very difference in 264 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: philosophy on it, and it would be uh, I think 265 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: it would be a fun debate. I don't know, those 266 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: of you list sitting in, what do you think? I mean? 267 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: Is this something that is the responsibility of people who follow, 268 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: or like or pay attention to somebody on social media? 269 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: Or is it when the content itself causes you to 270 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: engage and it makes you want to do something? I mean, 271 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: isn't that what the point of creating content is? To 272 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: entertain and to deliver a message and to create that engagement, 273 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: invite that engagement, not to guilty engagement. You know, plus 274 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: think about this anymore. The algorithms are built to make 275 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: it even harder for you to get the messages out 276 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: when you're not asking for the engagement. So I don't know, 277 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a bad look in my opinion, 278 00:17:52,520 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: But I mean, no one asked. How I did was 279 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: just create my own platform and give it to you. 280 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: It's Friday, Happy our Baby.
