Speaker 2: deprived for new parents.
Speaker 1: Sleep deprivation, the sleep deprivation season. You're thirty one through
Speaker 1: twelve through twelve. Yeah, and that is so three twelve
Speaker 1: is the numerical equivalent of three point thirty one when
Speaker 1: your brain is sleep deprived. Exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's actually it's my overrated, my overrated asleep.
Speaker 1: I'm dead. Yeah, you read it.
Speaker 2: I'll sleep in my lambeau when I finally get that
Speaker 2: ship right, bury me up right.
Speaker 3: Ah right, I don't want to be sleeping. I maneuver
Speaker 3: a bulldozer daily. It's fine, workless.
Speaker 2: No problem, all good, all good.
Speaker 1: The sound of the people screaming when you're closing in
Speaker 1: on their house and bulldozer wakes you up. Oh yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I know that's part of the system.
Speaker 3: Everything else works out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're meant to just load this gravel into the truck.
Speaker 2: Oh right, where's the truck five miles that way?
Speaker 3: When they say it takes a village, yeah, any range,
Speaker 3: no problem.
Speaker 1: Shout out all the sleep deprived, tired cp CPE people
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just don't know. Everyone says you're not going
Speaker 3: to sleep, but this is a different kind of you
Speaker 3: don't sleep. It's just not the same. It's not like
Speaker 3: my husband was even saying, it's not like medical school.
Speaker 3: It's just different.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, because you.
Speaker 3: Have this like little peanut putty bee that could die
Speaker 3: any minute.
Speaker 2: That's what the steaks feel like, especially early on, like
Speaker 2: half the time I would wake up to look if
Speaker 2: seeing my kid like.
Speaker 1: Still in the bass and net okay good.
Speaker 3: And when they're sleeping soundly, you're like are you dead?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like this is too sound. And then you
Speaker 2: got to like like, I don't want to touch them,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna see if I see their lungs moving. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and then they're too small. Sometimes you can't tell them
Speaker 2: the swaddle, so then you want to hold your finger
Speaker 2: under their nose breath comes out.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: Look, we're all we all suffer from this sickness at
Speaker 2: some point.
Speaker 1: We're crazy how much they keep on breathing even when
Speaker 1: you're not watching. Yeah, I'd never like, I'm the type
Speaker 1: of person who like feels like I need to stay
Speaker 1: vigilant on a plane in order for it not to crash,
Speaker 1: even though that's funny. Yeah, I'm like gripping the silence,
Speaker 1: just like, come on, man.
Speaker 3: I've been flying planes, have you really?
Speaker 1: Yeah, just since you just since you gave birth.
Speaker 3: Because I've been so sleep deprived, I just wanted to
Speaker 3: test myself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the line, right, that's I kind of like
Speaker 1: like there's got to be some work of sat tired
Speaker 1: that it's like that that like somebody once they become
Speaker 1: incredibly sleep deprived and incoherent, people just start trusting them
Speaker 1: with everything, because that does seem to be how things
Speaker 1: work and in Washington.
Speaker 3: Am I just gonna say, like the US presidency. If
Speaker 3: there's ever been a president, a consistent presidency that feels
Speaker 3: like it's asleep, it would be the US presidency.
Speaker 1: I'd noise looks like he's straining so hard to keep
Speaker 1: his eyes open. It's like that moment like when you're
Speaker 1: in class and like you're you've just like never been
Speaker 1: more tired in your life. You're just like, damn my eyes,
Speaker 1: ye want a different one. I want to close so badly.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, so are we going to get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things
Speaker 1: that we're talking about today. We are going to talk
Speaker 1: about Ronda saying his boots. We have diagram, we have
Speaker 1: expert opinion, we got it all. So we're gonna look
Speaker 1: at that. We're gonna look at another another one of
Speaker 1: these dang shoplifting rings that popped up in the last
Speaker 1: couple months and it turns out to be bullshit again.
Speaker 1: Wait Waingle, damn time miles every single time. What is
Speaker 1: it about it.
Speaker 2: When these when these retail companies start screaming crime wave
Speaker 2: it's not.
Speaker 3: But oh my god, I was here for the last one.
Speaker 1: Oh well, great, well perfect timing with you.
Speaker 2: You bring the mythbusting realization, so we appreciate those already.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Halloween, candy weather, what you should do
Speaker 1: with it, how you should consume it according to dentists,
Speaker 1: and we will talk about a subculture that I need
Speaker 1: to get in on that's happening in New Zealand. It
Speaker 1: involves blasting Celine Dion.
Speaker 2: As loud as you fucking can.
Speaker 1: People are like, it's a social contagion, and I say,
Speaker 1: let let it burn?
Speaker 3: Then yeah, or do you mean.
Speaker 1: Let it burn? Exactly? That's what I meant. The second one,
Speaker 1: My hock will b there we go, trend will go on,
Speaker 1: there you go. I can't sing like Celeine Dion. It
Speaker 1: turns out that's why you gotta just blast it, Just
Speaker 1: blast it.
Speaker 3: You have to get into pound your chest.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, get that vibrato, get that Wolf of Wall Street.
Speaker 1: That's right. I was watching that very recently, one of
Speaker 1: those ones that gets in your bones and you have
Speaker 1: to watch it every once in a while. But which
Speaker 1: start Matthew McConaughey started. That was like a vocal warm
Speaker 1: up he was doing, and Scorsese was like, could you
Speaker 1: just like do that on camera? That was weird as fuck.
Speaker 1: That's how why we have that. Before we get to
Speaker 1: any of its are we do like to ask our guests,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history math jokes, math jokes,
Speaker 1: a math joke?
Speaker 2: What's a math jake? Give me hit me with one?
Speaker 3: Okay, the I says to the pie, be irrational?
Speaker 1: Why says to the pie irrational?
Speaker 3: And the pays BG. The pie says back, get real.
Speaker 1: This is rational number.
Speaker 3: Come on, you know the imaginary number.
Speaker 2: I oh, okay, I'm a ha ha love that math joke.
Speaker 3: One of the Okay samue Obai has better math jokes
Speaker 3: than the ones I found on the internet.
Speaker 1: But it was.
Speaker 3: Math joke cartoons.
Speaker 1: Wait wait, what got you on to math jokes?
Speaker 3: Somebody told me that they don't like comedy, they just
Speaker 3: like math.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was like some guy was like nagging me in
Speaker 3: a in the grocery storeline.
Speaker 2: Were you doing like a tight five about grocery lines
Speaker 2: or something?
Speaker 3: I mean, okay, let's be real. I'm a out of

Speaker 3: I'm performing everywhere everywhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Like.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, world, that's just what happens, Just trying jokes
Speaker 3: out on everybody.
Speaker 2: Wait, so you ask someone randomly and lie you like, hey,
Speaker 2: like you want to hear a joke?
Speaker 3: Basically basically that's what I'm doing now, just like I
Speaker 3: say a dumb funny thing like, oh, I guess this
Speaker 3: line's gonna just keep going And I don't get.
Speaker 1: That a geometry Is that a geometry joke?
Speaker 3: No, it gets there, you know, like then they just
Speaker 3: like keep at it, you know, just double down, like
Speaker 3: it's just a wrapping around corners, all the corners. I'm
Speaker 3: sure there's a math joke to plug in here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well famously keep going. Yeah, in geometry, they just
Speaker 1: keep going.
Speaker 3: And going and pie goes and goes forever. And the
Speaker 3: guy was like, I like math, just not jokes. And
Speaker 3: I was like, what the what.
Speaker 1: The fuck are you talking about?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: What? I don't know if person, you know, they were
Speaker 1: just the person like, yeah.
Speaker 3: Is he telling me to stop making nice?
Speaker 1: I just don't.
Speaker 2: I love that binary though it's math or humor, pick one.
Speaker 2: It's like, I don't know, but I guess why wasn't
Speaker 2: the geometry teacher at school because she sprained her angle.
Speaker 2: You like that one? You like that guy and he's
Speaker 2: like crying.
Speaker 3: It's so like, fuck ah, you rite that this moment
Speaker 3: has changed me.
Speaker 2: Right right right? I love it. I like math? Okay?
Speaker 1: He like was he my seven year old son sort
Speaker 1: of thing. My seven year old son would say to me, like,
Speaker 1: I try and make him laugh and he's like, I
Speaker 1: like math, dad, okay jokes. That's kind of fucked up.
Speaker 2: That's actually probably the most scathing response you could give,
Speaker 2: where you're like, honestly, I like math better than whatever
Speaker 2: the fuck this is.
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was like, man, come on, man, I I've had
Speaker 3: a baby.
Speaker 2: I'm please, man, I haven't I haven't gone up in
Speaker 2: like months.
Speaker 1: You just burst into tears.
Speaker 2: And he's like, fuck fuck, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't know.
Speaker 2: I didn't What the fuck?
Speaker 3: That's when I dropped the fourth lift on him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. What what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Okay? Overrated? Asleep? You don't need it?
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: I can no longer, ironically, I can no longer do
Speaker 3: mental math in my head.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, oh wow, because just running on pure fumes
Speaker 2: in this can I can't.
Speaker 3: If you were to be like five minus two, I
Speaker 3: just stare at you. I like I'd wait for you
Speaker 3: to do it.
Speaker 1: I just like everyone, of course knows minus two is.
Speaker 2: You're doing that thing where like you're at a party
Speaker 2: and you don't know a person's name and you're trying
Speaker 2: to get them to say it.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh and then this is my partner, and this is
Speaker 2: uh uh three h.
Speaker 3: Sure yeah your name?
Speaker 1: Good sir? Why of course I know your name. It's
Speaker 1: as simple as five minus three is, which is, of course,
Speaker 1: and I don't even have to finish that. Well, my
Speaker 1: name is Hank. But that worse two I guess, right too. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: I wasn't. You're not an idiot, I guess.
Speaker 3: But I can do. I could operate heavy machinery just fine, right,
Speaker 3: fly planes, and I could probably perform surgery.
Speaker 2: Oh easy, easy, easy.
Speaker 3: I mean the stuff that we have to do as parent,
Speaker 3: as new parents, like cutting a baby's fingernails on an
Speaker 3: hour of sleep.
Speaker 2: Oh shit, yeah, you know how long I fucking waited, baby,
Speaker 2: those little tiny baby fingernails. I was so afraid. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna cut the whole fucking fingertip off, like I'm like,
Speaker 2: nah man, And then in the beginning I was biting
Speaker 2: them off. I was like, and nobody got presitionent precision
Speaker 2: like my mouth.
Speaker 5: And.
Speaker 1: So you're you're a fingernail viighter right yeah, yeah, every
Speaker 1: now and then.
Speaker 2: But then now like it's finely to the point where
Speaker 2: I trust myself with those little baby fingernail scissors and
Speaker 2: like we were doing all right, but yeah, it's there's
Speaker 2: a lot. There's a lot getting adjusted to little tiny life.
Speaker 3: And then just holding her going downstairs. I go downstairs
Speaker 3: with a child. Yes, I don't know why that's so
Speaker 3: terrified to me.
Speaker 1: Like you are when you're flying that plane, you know exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's why I just was like, sign me
Speaker 3: up for all the things. I don't need sleep. I'm
Speaker 3: a hero. Yeah, I just don't ask me to do math.
Speaker 3: I can't tell you what five minutes three is, but
Speaker 3: I can do everything else.
Speaker 1: But yeah, oh yeah, you need me to you mean
Speaker 1: to operate that back home real quick? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Easy?
Speaker 1: But I mean there is a They found a real
Speaker 1: similarity between like sleep deprivation and like having a couple
Speaker 1: of drinks, Like they're not that dissimilar and like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I definitely get because because when you're sleep deprived, you
Speaker 1: you have less energy. Your inner critic has less energy
Speaker 1: to like pop up and be like, hey, shut the
Speaker 1: fuck ups, what are you doing? You can't drive a
Speaker 1: back up, so you're just a little bit there's just
Speaker 1: less energy to go around. And so some of the
Speaker 1: things that are you know, luxuries, like the things that
Speaker 1: step on the brakes for us during our most awake moments,
Speaker 1: are no longer operational, and we just get that's why we,
Speaker 1: you know, get a little punchy, because we're we're basically
Speaker 1: sleep drunk.
Speaker 3: I've been sleep drunk.
Speaker 1: Yeah great, And this is why you should be flying
Speaker 1: those planes because you have utter confidence.
Speaker 2: Would you rather have a Would you rather have a
Speaker 2: drunk ass pilot or a sleep deprived pilot?
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. You want me?
Speaker 1: Is this a math joke? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm just if we're likening the two right, and people
Speaker 2: always make jokes about how pilots are drunk as should
Speaker 2: all the time. Would you I'm like part of me?
Speaker 1: I like the drunk pilot, yeah drive yeah, yeah, like
Speaker 1: a sleep deprived yeah. Oh yeah, for sure. And that's
Speaker 1: why they're so damn smooth. When they get on Mike,
Speaker 1: they're like, hey.
Speaker 2: Right when you get that you get the phone call
Speaker 2: from your boss, that's like waking you up because you
Speaker 2: slept in you'r late for work.
Speaker 1: And they're like well, and you're like, yeah, man, I'm
Speaker 1: so yeah, I'm looking at my car now. But he
Speaker 1: sounds so fucking chilled out.
Speaker 3: Man, what I sound like to my baby? Hey?
Speaker 1: Yeah, read a cruising altitude thirty thousand feet? What I
Speaker 1: just ask? Why you're not at the office.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna land this plane on a fork?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What did the acorns say when it grew up? What? Gee?
Speaker 1: I'm a tree? Uh?
Speaker 2: Ship, We're doing it.
Speaker 1: And that's how I end. That's how I punctuate all
Speaker 1: my mass jokes. And that's a mass joke.
Speaker 2: What uh?
Speaker 1: What's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 3: Okay? Everyone should have a child.
Speaker 1: This is such parent Uh.
Speaker 2: I love it everyone, no matter what, no matter this.
Speaker 3: Yes, everyone adopt a baby, have a baby, take someone else's,
Speaker 3: do an egg donation, kidnap a baby. However you get
Speaker 3: to it. You should have a baby. It's an experience.
Speaker 2: I like that you said it, like it was almost
Speaker 2: like doing ayahuasca or something like that. It's soward, dude,
Speaker 2: it's a fucking rifts. Oh my god.
Speaker 3: What do you do on ayahuasca? You like remember your past,
Speaker 3: you go into your deepest, darkest holes. You throw up
Speaker 3: a couple of times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god, you're visited by the spirit ye,
Speaker 2: by a presence that is familiar yet more good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you know what it's like to just like
Speaker 3: be there at like two o'clock in the morning, just
Speaker 3: like an excruciating pain. But by the way, I'm forty
Speaker 3: having a kid like this is not like being twenty
Speaker 3: or thirty. Even when you're forty and you're having a
Speaker 3: kid like.
Speaker 1: It ain't for sissies.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: It is my old crusty man and alcoholics getting old.
Speaker 1: Ain't for sissy's kids. Oh my god, my back my,
Speaker 1: oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It just like I can't tell you how many times
Speaker 3: I like thought back to all these like baby showers
Speaker 3: I bleue off or like friends that I just was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: did you have.
Speaker 1: A kid, No big deal, whatever, I'll see.
Speaker 3: You when you come out of that in five years.
Speaker 1: I guess, wells are you're doing a hell of a
Speaker 1: job selling.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I think everyone who has heard this can agree we
Speaker 1: should all have kids. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's so hard, and like all the ways that
Speaker 6: your life hasn't been hard up to that point, you know,
Speaker 6: like you just.
Speaker 3: Don't know you just like I had. I have a
Speaker 3: Dula who and by the way, thank god for Dula's
Speaker 3: talk about underrated and she also is a parent now
Speaker 3: and she just was like, yeah, I just had no idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like even you can be.
Speaker 3: An infant care specialist, yea, you have your own kid,
Speaker 3: and then you're like, oh my god, the hours, oh
Speaker 3: my god, the it just when they cry. There's no
Speaker 3: one else in the world who when they cry, like
Speaker 3: every bone in my soul feels like it did something wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it happens. It happens, and it spreads to other
Speaker 1: like I can't watch nature documentaries. I can't watch movies,
Speaker 1: wear beds, really your children. Yeah, nature documentaries are fucked
Speaker 1: up because it's like, oh, the natural rule of Like
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was just the specific nature
Speaker 1: documentary I saw, but so many nature documentaries involve the
Speaker 1: youngest member of a pack getting picked off by a
Speaker 1: wolf or by some sharks.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that would suck me up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can't. It's like you see the mother
Speaker 1: the mother animal, like you know.
Speaker 3: Having Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, thank you.
Speaker 2: I told you, Jack, You've got to stop watching that
Speaker 2: compilation video on YouTube.
Speaker 1: It's not it's fucked up. Baby animal. Baby animals get launched. Okay.
Speaker 3: But here's why else everyone should just have a kid.
Speaker 3: It's because I realized, like part of the reason why
Speaker 3: I waited till I was forty is because there was
Speaker 3: just no accessibility for me in my thirties to be
Speaker 3: able to have a child. Yeah, And there are all
Speaker 3: these like social programs that we used to have that
Speaker 3: we just like do not have anymore. And like in
Speaker 3: other countries, there's all this nanny care support. Nannycare is
Speaker 3: like subsidized by the government, you know. And I just think,
Speaker 3: like social structures vanishing is a sign that we all
Speaker 3: need to just like procreate or you know, adopt or
Speaker 3: you know, do egg donation or surrogacy, because the more
Speaker 3: we're all having children, the more these programs have to
Speaker 3: be like supported.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, So this is my pyramid scheme.
Speaker 1: Is to just have more people have kids. And cources
Speaker 1: puts the pressure upwards.
Speaker 2: Of the bottom up approach.
Speaker 3: It's like, is this how I become that anti? That
Speaker 3: is like, how come we haven't had kids yet?
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and talk about some news. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back. Why did the two four skip lunch,
Speaker 1: you guys? Because because they.
Speaker 2: Are already like that was right there, already.
Speaker 7: There, the already is key in that joke which King
Speaker 7: loved fractions which Henry eighth.
Speaker 1: I read that one and I was like, well, that
Speaker 1: one sucks because I didn't because I was like, I
Speaker 1: thought it was Henry the one eighth. I hadn't even
Speaker 1: like thought about it.
Speaker 2: I could say it, but hey, yeah, all for one night. Now,
Speaker 2: that's an eighth right there, bro, that's right, the three
Speaker 2: point five grams.
Speaker 1: And I call my drug dealer. I would say, hey,
Speaker 1: could I have a one eighth please? What eighth of
Speaker 1: one ounce? Please?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 1: The good, the good good that Mary Jane, is that
Speaker 1: one aronic of one ounce, one eighth of one ounce
Speaker 1: of the finest.
Speaker 3: Chronic Oh my god, I miss weed so much.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, hey, all in due time, All in
Speaker 2: due time, that's right, just like the reckoning for rondas
Speaker 2: Antis's boots all time.
Speaker 1: That's right, it happened.
Speaker 2: Look, but we've looked, we've talked about the boots. His
Speaker 2: boot game is strong, some say even fishy, saying what's
Speaker 2: going on down there? And people started dragging, like drying
Speaker 2: dry diagrams of what they believe to be in their
Speaker 2: lifts within the boot. And you know, the GOP sadly
Speaker 2: is not a great party to run in, especially for
Speaker 2: men that are perceived as anything less than a twelve
Speaker 2: foot tall rambo recreation. And naturally, the Trump fans have
Speaker 2: especially gone in on Ron DeSantis's boots as a way
Speaker 2: to like, you know, nag him and be like Trump
Speaker 2: number one, This guy wears boots that have lifts in them.
Speaker 2: And the debate over like his heels has now got
Speaker 2: to the point where political fucking political outlet got the
Speaker 2: fucking opinions of several cowboy boot and shoot experts like
Speaker 2: fucking cobblers to figure out whether or not Ron DeSantis
Speaker 2: is actually wearing altered boots.
Speaker 1: This is awesome and.
Speaker 2: The look it's in now, okay, we've got the results
Speaker 2: in All of these people are saying something's going on here.
Speaker 1: Something may write ron there's one diagram They point to
Speaker 1: diagram miles. It's the best journalism I've seen in the
Speaker 1: past five years.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's a close up of him sitting on
Speaker 2: like a barstool, but just focused in from his like
Speaker 2: ankles and foot area, and they say like number like one,
Speaker 2: they're saying like, oh, the leather is bunching too much here,
Speaker 2: meaning like that there must be there must be a
Speaker 2: foot there. Another point shows too.
Speaker 1: What where his ankle joint is?
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, they're like, that's where his ankle joint is.
Speaker 2: Then they point to like where his toes likely end,
Speaker 2: and then they judgtapose out there like right next to it.
Speaker 2: Number four. You can see where that big joint is,
Speaker 2: where your big toe meets your foot yet bulging that
Speaker 2: thing's pushing out way too early. That's like in the
Speaker 2: midst like in the arches area. And they're like the
Speaker 2: verdict is our man is playing around with these.
Speaker 1: Bigness and like the function of the diagram. The diagram
Speaker 1: is so effective. You can like see his foot inside
Speaker 1: the boots and you can see how uncomfortably it is positioned,
Speaker 1: like he is suffering for his art here is Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's not great, like straight up his ankle, his
Speaker 1: like toes pointed like a ballerina. But then it's also
Speaker 1: like mashed to the side, like his calf. It would
Speaker 1: be wild like if you like snapped his achilles on
Speaker 1: the you know, but like I wouldn't be surprised, pretty
Speaker 1: he might tear his calf in the next few Yes,
Speaker 1: calf has to be in just agony at all time.
Speaker 3: I kind of love it when men get picked apart
Speaker 3: like women do.
Speaker 1: Though right exactly, this does.
Speaker 3: Bring me great joy. I mean, and and talk about
Speaker 3: your calves being in agony all the time, and she's, oh,
Speaker 3: my lord.
Speaker 1: Welcome, welcome. Ron.
Speaker 2: There one boot maker they spoke to in Texas who
Speaker 2: candidly admitted he's like, you know, actually have made custom
Speaker 2: boots with hidden lifts.
Speaker 1: Four politicians in Texas.
Speaker 2: I won't say who, but let's just say I know
Speaker 2: how this shit works.
Speaker 1: They say, say, it ain't George S. Bush. I couldn't
Speaker 1: think of it. I couldn't think of a letter. Besides,
Speaker 1: w what's what I call him? G Bush? No, that's
Speaker 1: too obvious, George W. B.
Speaker 3: What is the theory behind it. I mean, doesn't Tom
Speaker 3: Cruise wear lifts and he like saves the country regularly?
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, and some shots too. And then other times,
Speaker 2: like I know that they'll just have him like standing
Speaker 2: on stuff just to make.
Speaker 1: Him right or something. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: But so the one guy, this this Texas bootmaker, plainted
Speaker 2: to the fact that he's like, the boots do have
Speaker 2: a traditional Western silhouette, but the heels appear shorter, and
Speaker 2: he's saying that when you put inserts into cowboy boots,
Speaker 2: you want to actually saw down the exterior. He because
Speaker 2: you can get up to a quote five inch scletto
Speaker 2: of height in there if you do it right. And
Speaker 2: he said, and he said, quote that's too much for
Speaker 2: the common man. So on already made boot, they'll cut
Speaker 2: down the heel about half an inch to accommodate the lifts,
Speaker 2: which looks to be what happened here. Point of evidence
Speaker 2: number two is they point to his pant legs that
Speaker 2: seems to indicate that he is wearing a wider than
Speaker 2: necessary boot that would also accommodate the insert And so
Speaker 2: if you look at I would.
Speaker 3: Have to agree looking at this diagram, it's pretty clear
Speaker 3: to me what's going on?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's and you hate to see it, you know,
Speaker 2: Like again, the GOP is not a place for short kings,
Speaker 2: especially when two like a lot of like the political
Speaker 2: people pointed out, like taller candidates win a lot of
Speaker 2: the time, except for like the one time where Barack
Speaker 2: Obama is shorter than Mitt Romney and Joe Biden is
Speaker 2: shorter than Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: But guess what I don't just in my mind, zi,
Speaker 1: Barack Obama is not sure of than Mett Romney. Barack
Speaker 1: Obama and a half to two inches taller than Mitt
Speaker 1: Romney in my mind's eye. And that's all the matt right,
Speaker 1: Like when we're you know, like when people are voting,
Speaker 1: they're not like sitting there and looking at like a
Speaker 1: boxing way in it's like how tall they read? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know needs as taller.
Speaker 3: You're right, My grandma's always said to me, it's not
Speaker 3: how big it is, it's the motion of the ocean.
Speaker 1: Yes, your grandma seat too mainly defeat just talking.
Speaker 3: About I think she was talking about big dicks.
Speaker 2: But really, oh well, hey, shout out the wisdom of
Speaker 2: Grandma for there too. Yeah, but like he recently went
Speaker 2: on a podcast right where the host is like a
Speaker 2: fucking avowed trumper, like he's worked on the campaigns, like
Speaker 2: all he does is pray, which.
Speaker 3: Also, by the way, is weird to be in a
Speaker 3: vowed trumper. Is just like, what have you done with
Speaker 3: your life? Okay? Continue?
Speaker 2: So he shouldn't. So Ron de Santis went and on
Speaker 2: this show knowing that the MAGA people have been come
Speaker 2: in for his boots, and the host did not waste
Speaker 2: time making Rond de Santis squirm with his concern trolling
Speaker 2: over his boots, like really put it away. He's like, oh, do.
Speaker 1: You know what they're saying about you right now?
Speaker 2: But here, listen to this crip.
Speaker 1: This can't feel good, and I'm just worried about your
Speaker 1: mental well being.
Speaker 2: Truly, truly, this is him on this podcast where immediately
Speaker 2: he goes for the boot or the throat or whatever
Speaker 2: we're saying here.
Speaker 5: I'm sure your marketing team points out how they're trying
Speaker 5: to troll you in the marketplace. Okay, I'm sure they're
Speaker 5: doing that. Can you bring this one clip? I know
Speaker 5: you were on what do you call it?
Speaker 3: On?
Speaker 2: What was it?
Speaker 5: Bill Maher and Bill Maher talked about the boots I've
Speaker 5: seen you walk with these boots. Go and play this
Speaker 5: clip this on TikTok went viral. It doesn't have a
Speaker 5: million views, It doesn't have you know, ten million views.
Speaker 5: This thing's got one point two million likes, and some
Speaker 5: people are wondering.
Speaker 8: How do they I don't even under I haven't seen that.
Speaker 5: What there's They have not shown this to you, Okay.
Speaker 5: What they're trying to say with this is that in
Speaker 5: your boots you have heels.
Speaker 8: No, no, no, those are just standard off the rack.
Speaker 8: Luke Hazy, how tall?
Speaker 1: How tall you governor? How eleven five to eleven? Okay?
Speaker 5: Why don't you wear tennis shoes and dress shoes?
Speaker 8: I do wear tennis shoes when I work out. Yeah
Speaker 8: you do?
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 5: I got a gift for you. I'd love for you
Speaker 5: to wear okay, I shop.
Speaker 3: Oh he looks so guilty.
Speaker 1: He's preaking out sneakers for him to wear.
Speaker 8: I don't accept gifts. I can't accept that.
Speaker 2: I found it out. So it ends right there with
Speaker 2: him being able to be like I actually can't accept
Speaker 2: gifts or even trying the sneakers that would.
Speaker 1: Verify be on this show anymore. Out of here.
Speaker 2: It's so fucked up. Like part of me, like you
Speaker 2: know you as part. I understand like the toxic masculinity
Speaker 2: of it all. But for someone who is such a
Speaker 2: vile piece of ship, you're like, now your rep what
Speaker 2: is so fella?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: For all this stuff you do to come at people
Speaker 2: who are different than the ciss head crowd, Like this
Speaker 2: is kind of this is a beautiful irony.
Speaker 3: But like yellow line diagram was the best thing I've
Speaker 3: ever seen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the host shows the outline of like what people
Speaker 1: suspect is going on here. It's like the magic bullet
Speaker 1: diagram in JFK.
Speaker 4: And it's like so convincing. It's like, just exactly what's
Speaker 4: going Did you see how his posture change. His posture
Speaker 4: changed when he said five, Like we said how tall?
Speaker 4: You said five eleven and he signed.
Speaker 2: But I was like, sir, your shoulders are a lot
Speaker 2: lower in relation to that chair than your the host is,
Speaker 2: which because you can't you can't, you can't fake the
Speaker 2: torso you know, you know what I mean. But anyway,
Speaker 2: it's definitely clear the host is trying to rattle him,
Speaker 2: and I would say he succeeded, but like I wonder
Speaker 2: if like now DeSantis's team is like now internally trying
Speaker 2: to figure out how to play this, Like do they
Speaker 2: embrace it and be like all right, you caught him?
Speaker 2: So what He's still a fucking monster biggot the world.
Speaker 1: He's a small man, but a huge bigot, huge big So.
Speaker 2: What are we talking about? He's got a lot of
Speaker 2: hate in his heart. He's got this guy, I'm telling you,
Speaker 2: he's a hustle racist. This guy's all hustled.
Speaker 1: Don't warrior that?
Speaker 3: I mean, is this what undoes a racist?
Speaker 1: Is?
Speaker 3: Like? But you're you're actually short and that's it. That's
Speaker 3: what makes him be like, oh no, I have to
Speaker 3: reefing my entire career trajectory.
Speaker 1: Maybe they don't say gay stuff was a bridge too far.
Speaker 3: No, no, it's my shoes.
Speaker 1: Watching that podcast host just like push him around, just
Speaker 1: have his way with him, like makes me real, Like
Speaker 1: he couldn't be a worst candidate to be the guy
Speaker 1: trying to unseat Donald Trump like professional bully, Like like
Speaker 1: truly the worst pick possible. Yeah, Like because they can
Speaker 1: come up with he has to know that at some
Speaker 1: level that has to be what's happening with like that
Speaker 1: when they're like okay, say everything and then smile and
Speaker 1: like the smile that he flashes appears to be trying
Speaker 1: to kill him. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: It looks like he's being lightly electrocuted trying to hide it.
Speaker 2: He's all good, He's like, but yeah, this is again
Speaker 2: this the saga will continue that podcast host to your point, Jack,
Speaker 2: like it was such like I love a low energy concerntrol,
Speaker 2: like they didn't tell you about. I don't know if
Speaker 2: they're worried about this. I don't know if your team's show.
Speaker 2: Oh they didn't show you. Okay, so this is what
Speaker 2: they're saying in the marketplace.
Speaker 3: And then the diagram, Yeah, the damning diagram.
Speaker 1: We just let me just show you something here real quick.
Speaker 1: Never never thoughts on this guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Ron, Okay, I'm looking at this picture of
Speaker 3: him that you have here in Tampa.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: That is a man wearing lifts.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and oh yeah yeahah absolutely absolutely. The video
Speaker 1: of him walking across the stage in the boots, it's
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I've never seen it. Also, it just looks
Speaker 1: like if you had taped erasers to the bottom of
Speaker 1: my feet and asked me to walk around on them.
Speaker 1: I don't know why that's what I went with. But
Speaker 1: like it, you know, like just the discomfort of like
Speaker 1: walking on a thing that is not supposed to be there,
Speaker 1: Like it just feels weird.
Speaker 3: What if it turns out they're not lifts, it's just
Speaker 3: how he walks in boots.
Speaker 2: That would actually be really that would be something we
Speaker 2: were also saying earlier off Mike that what if he
Speaker 2: just had one really big toe and that's why he's
Speaker 2: got to have his foot all back set into the
Speaker 2: thing he doesn't want to wear. He doesn't want to
Speaker 2: wear overly long shoes, so it's better to go vertical
Speaker 2: with it to get buy that big toe from space
Speaker 2: and then he has to do a big toe reveal
Speaker 2: to be like it's not lyfts. Guys, I got fine
Speaker 2: at my big ass toes man, Are you happy this.
Speaker 1: Such a long toad king, I would be forced to,
Speaker 1: you know, feel a little bit of simpathy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out the lt cas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure. Amongst the GOP it's okay
Speaker 3: to be different.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they seem to appreciate that, they embrace
Speaker 2: the fact that humans are varied and they don't conform
Speaker 2: to just one sort of set of traits or identities.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we'll see ron Nikki Haley's gaining on you.
Speaker 2: But I don't know what that means anyway, because it's
Speaker 2: Trump's to lose or actually to win, I guess really.
Speaker 1: Yeah, gaining and that means that she's getting closer to
Speaker 1: second place, and second place is behind Trump by like
Speaker 1: forty percentage points.
Speaker 3: Right, Oh yeah, I can't believe he's running.
Speaker 1: He's gonna win. He's gonna win. That's crazy, stocks He's
Speaker 1: gonna win. He's gonna he's gonna run the country from pretty.
Speaker 2: He's Biden's dropping the ball right now. He's upside down
Speaker 2: on everything. He doesn't know do this for it? He
Speaker 2: doesn't know do domestic polsease. He's losing, He's losing support, folks.
Speaker 2: But yeah, anyway, do we feel that next year?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, truly, I mean destabilization here we are?
Speaker 1: Do we think that the reason? Because this is like
Speaker 1: giving me a new perspective on like what it must
Speaker 1: have been like to be a short king who's living
Speaker 1: a lie and like has to be in lifts all
Speaker 1: the time in public, and like it. It just puts
Speaker 1: a whole new perspective on Tom Cruise, for me and
Speaker 1: the idea that like, you know, how he runs like
Speaker 1: loves to run in movies, like, movies are the one
Speaker 1: place where he can use camera trickery to appear taller, right,
Speaker 1: And so I just wonder if it's like he just
Speaker 1: feels free. It's the only place that he feels free
Speaker 1: because he can just like you know, otherwise having to
Speaker 1: walk around in these in these lifts like which just
Speaker 1: look look like a real nightmare to I.
Speaker 3: Mean, given that he also is very high up there
Speaker 3: in a major international cult. Yeah right, I imagine movies
Speaker 3: are a place where he's free.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2: Also yeah, well yeah, because we're talking about how like
Speaker 2: JM was sort of doing an analysis our writer and
Speaker 2: suspected that the Mission Impossible movies are sort of like
Speaker 2: low key about trying to get out of scientology.
Speaker 1: What Yeah, it's the theory is strong, Like the theory
Speaker 1: kind of holds together, it coheres.
Speaker 3: Right, so much going on in a boot I.
Speaker 1: Know exactly just let us look in them boots? Wrong?
Speaker 1: What if this was all just because I had to
Speaker 1: run to Santa's foot fetish. I was just like, just
Speaker 1: let us look at your feet. I see those things, man?
Speaker 1: You don't got nothing on wiki feet. Man, you got
Speaker 1: them fangs on you, them long toes.
Speaker 3: I mean I knew coming into.
Speaker 1: This, I knew you knew that's what this was about.
Speaker 3: I'm into fetishes. I have a fetish for fetishes.
Speaker 1: So I know, yeah, all right, good, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we're gonna come back and just keep
Speaker 1: talking about round sentences that we'll move on to something else.
Speaker 1: We'll be right there and we're back, and has anyone
Speaker 1: So there's that one there's that one picture of him
Speaker 1: on the beach, right yeah, with Casey and it's like
Speaker 1: clearly photoshopped and there are no footprints behind them? Is
Speaker 1: that because of something to do with like maybe his
Speaker 1: feet aren't even real?
Speaker 3: Isn't that don't make him a vampire?
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe he's a vampire. That's if you're footless?
Speaker 2: Can we can?
Speaker 1: We can get right on them feet pictures.
Speaker 2: I feel so terrible that I didn't actually put this
Speaker 2: into the document for us to look at.
Speaker 1: But yeah, well you know I would be.
Speaker 3: Described what he's got fike feet, folks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thick feet, thickfoot king.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those look like the inflamed foot of a man
Speaker 3: who's been wearing lifts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and one of his feet is propped up like
Speaker 1: a barbie foot.
Speaker 3: He can't stop propping it.
Speaker 2: His imagine that foot is stuck like that from overuse
Speaker 2: of the lifts.
Speaker 1: They it took three days to get the left foot
Speaker 1: like flattened out, but they yeah, yeah, he.
Speaker 3: Has extremely flat feet.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. Well, hey, Ron, not anymore, not with the
Speaker 1: magic of these lifts.
Speaker 2: No, not at all.
Speaker 1: All right, we have an update on the story that
Speaker 1: we've been covered breathlessly. We're like, guys, stop stealing from Target.
Speaker 1: There's a left ring that is putting them out of business,
Speaker 1: and it turns out that is bullshit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been covering, like I remember, the first one
Speaker 2: we're talking about is probably Walgreens in the Bay Area.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh god, it's so out of control.
Speaker 2: And then it's like, no, your rents to you're not
Speaker 2: doing enough business and you've over expanded too quickly, and
Speaker 2: you're using this as cover. And now the latest one
Speaker 2: was like about a month ago. Target is the latest
Speaker 2: company crying crime wave and they said we're gonna have
Speaker 2: to close nine stores because they're shoplifting so much. And
Speaker 2: again every.
Speaker 1: Fucking place CNBC.
Speaker 2: Target says it will close nine stores in major cities
Speaker 2: citing violence and theft. Wall Street Journal target to close
Speaker 2: stores in San Francisco, other cities sighting theft. Bloomberg Target
Speaker 2: closes nine n YC. West Coast stores to stop losses
Speaker 2: from rising theft. The New York Times target sighting theft
Speaker 2: to close nine stores.
Speaker 1: Everybody just took this and ran with it, okay, and
Speaker 1: sadly for two York Times is the most liberal publication
Speaker 1: in the world.
Speaker 3: What obviously, Yeah, I'm so confused.
Speaker 2: I know their coverage is so to the left. It's right,
Speaker 2: that's how fucking wild it is.
Speaker 1: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: But like, sadly for them, jud Legum's Popular Information team
Speaker 2: took a look at the numbers of the stores afe
Speaker 2: in San Francisco and New York and guess what, These
Speaker 2: stores that are being shuttered actually had lower instances of
Speaker 2: theft than the fucking stores that are remaining open.
Speaker 3: What does that work?
Speaker 2: And then but politicians, they only read the Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 2: so naturally, a few senators have introduced a bill called
Speaker 2: the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act, And that's really just
Speaker 2: more cop shit, right obviously, and they point to this
Speaker 2: statistic in their press release about why they need to act, quote,
Speaker 2: organized retail crime cost retailers seven hundred twenty thousand dollars
Speaker 2: for every one billion dollars in sales. That's a fifty
Speaker 2: percent since twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3: Damn, I'm in the wrong business.
Speaker 2: Hey wait quick math those are you love math joke?
Speaker 2: And I know you're really good at math? What percentage
Speaker 2: of seven hundred twenty thousand out of one billion?
Speaker 3: Three?
Speaker 1: There you go, it's.
Speaker 2: Actually zero point zero seven percent of sales. And like
Speaker 2: the group that they say they get the stats from,
Speaker 2: this lobbying group, the.
Speaker 1: National Retail Federation is.
Speaker 2: The one keeping the stats, and even they admit they
Speaker 2: stopped recording these specific stats like back in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: because the numbers are so minuscule.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: And really a lot of people are just like, just
Speaker 2: like the Walgreens thing, some people who are like savvy
Speaker 2: investors kind of looking into it and they're like, it
Speaker 2: looks like maybe a target is just trying to hide
Speaker 2: behind the theft argument to cover up the fact that
Speaker 2: their stores are just doing less business because they're poorly
Speaker 2: planned in the locations they're at.
Speaker 1: And maybe because the prices might still be too high.
Speaker 2: Maybe that could also be a thing too, but of
Speaker 2: course that couldn't be that what target'd be like we're
Speaker 2: losing business because our ship's overpriced.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, and also for them to have nine.
Speaker 1: Stores, oh yeah, close down, like and that's just.
Speaker 3: The ones they close, Like there's more stores that they have.
Speaker 3: I mean it's poor planning. Yeah, take down there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I've seen a lot of people argue about
Speaker 2: this store to where they're like.
Speaker 3: People really buy into it.
Speaker 2: They love to people love to cape for retail stores.
Speaker 2: It's fucking wild. Like there's like there's a Twitter thread
Speaker 2: going on. I was like looking at people saying, like,
Speaker 2: if you knew anything about being in retail, you know that,
Speaker 2: like law enforcement is so underfunded that they can't even
Speaker 2: do anything about it. And other people were like, have
Speaker 2: you ever worked at a store and have someone steal something?
Speaker 2: You never call the cops, you know why, because they're
Speaker 2: gonna be like the fuck you want us to do? Yeah,
Speaker 2: like did you catch them?
Speaker 1: Their response to most things, it turns out.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, hold on, there's someone having a fucking mental
Speaker 2: health crisis.
Speaker 1: We're right there, We're right there. Gunshrown.
Speaker 2: But yeah, like it's yeah, so this fucking this, this
Speaker 2: like little dumb story keeps coming back all the time.
Speaker 2: It'll never go away, but you cry out for that.
Speaker 1: Theft has gone up a little bit in the past
Speaker 1: ten years, and that is because of self checkouts. They
Speaker 1: introduced self checkouts because and it was a calculated risk
Speaker 1: that self checkout would save them enough money that it
Speaker 1: would offset the losses they would have from people just
Speaker 1: being like miss missed that one. But okay, okay.
Speaker 3: Everyone knows that self checkout is where you go when
Speaker 3: you want.
Speaker 9: To steal ship. Yeah, yeah, and they know that I do.
Speaker 9: I'm just saying yeah. And also what you do is
Speaker 9: the person who's like the monitor, like the one human
Speaker 9: they have over there, you get good with them. You're like, hey, man,
Speaker 9: you want I'm about to come up on a London broil.
Speaker 9: If you want, I'll split it with you.
Speaker 3: And you're like, that's right, listen, I'm gonna buy this
Speaker 3: boot lift. Yeah, don't tell anyone about it. That's how
Speaker 3: I that's not my sleep deprived brain does things. Hey,
Speaker 3: I'm going to commit an act.
Speaker 2: And they're like, I think you're here for your child's
Speaker 2: three month checkup?
Speaker 1: Oh oh my bad. Okay, sorry I thought it wasn't
Speaker 1: target all right. There's a story from dentists where I
Speaker 1: appreciate the specificity of their vision. The they're really like
Speaker 1: just being like, we don't give a fuck about any
Speaker 1: other part of the body. We're good here. So an
Speaker 1: article this week, a dentist in Virginia implored kids to
Speaker 1: eat all their Halloween candy and one sitting because it's
Speaker 1: much better for your teeth.
Speaker 3: Oh hilarious.
Speaker 1: It might upset your belly a little bit. Yeah, might
Speaker 1: get all your candy in one sitting. It might like
Speaker 1: put you into a diabetic coma. Like literally, but I
Speaker 1: don't know every single Dennis, yeah, every but this isn't
Speaker 1: like one way silly Dennis, Like every single year Dennis
Speaker 1: give this same advice where they're like, I mean, if
Speaker 1: you're gonna eat candy, like a big bag full of candy,
Speaker 1: might as well get it out of the way now
Speaker 1: and then just go brush your teeth immediately.
Speaker 2: Oh, rather than like a prolonged, a prolonged, multi year's
Speaker 2: effort like my weird bag candy vault would be.
Speaker 1: Because you're candy in one city, you're exposing your teeth
Speaker 1: to that frequency one time. But if you're sitting there
Speaker 1: and you're eating it every twenty thirty minutes for the
Speaker 1: next few days, over the next week, it's causing more
Speaker 1: damage to your teeth. Oh that's that's a quote from
Speaker 1: one dentist.
Speaker 3: I put it all in a bowl by my bed,
Speaker 3: and after I brush my teeth, I have one.
Speaker 1: Yeah you go. I do not use hands. I just
Speaker 1: go face first into a bowl of peel.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Of I call it peeled candy. That's how much. That's
Speaker 1: how much I use I'm consuming vegetables and fruits that
Speaker 1: the only thing I can say is peeled candy. Peel
Speaker 1: the wrap, peel the skin off my candy, and then
Speaker 1: just go at it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you gotta. You gotta do the thing where
Speaker 2: you know those flat jolly rancher candies.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, those are so good.
Speaker 2: You just put those on each side of your mouth
Speaker 2: before you take a little retainer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wrap it around so I got it for a
Speaker 1: little bit, and wrap it around both so you have
Speaker 1: one in your bottom jaw. Oh yeah, yeah, topjaw.
Speaker 2: And then or like going X rays and that film,
Speaker 2: you have to bite down on just those flat pieces.
Speaker 2: I just love that.
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I guess it could be
Speaker 1: argued that it's also not great for kids teeth to
Speaker 1: have them bult through a plate glass window and a
Speaker 1: sugar crazed frenzy after eating an entire pillowcase full of candy.
Speaker 1: But I'm with the dentists on this one.
Speaker 3: Hey, you know what, I watch a lot of true crime.
Speaker 3: You know what lives outlives you? Your teeth?
Speaker 1: Teeth, that's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, after you've been murdered and manslaughtered, massacred, whatever,
Speaker 3: tortured by a serial killer, how do you want your
Speaker 3: teeth to look to the whole rest of the world.
Speaker 1: That's what that's mainly. Yeah, when people are like, what
Speaker 1: am I going to leave behind when they're having existential crises? Teeth,
Speaker 1: Just your teeth, that's what you're going to leave behind.
Speaker 3: So you sit down, little Jimmy and you eat that
Speaker 3: entire goddamn bag of candy.
Speaker 1: Yes, do you think wat?
Speaker 2: You do you think kids want to do that? Like,
Speaker 2: I know everyone's like, I'm gonna eat it now, but
Speaker 2: like I feel like there's always that sort of deferred
Speaker 2: gratification thing, like yeah.
Speaker 3: No, he's reading to parents of kids with candy like
Speaker 3: adults in charge of kids bags of candy, right right?
Speaker 3: I used to eat my knees is candy. They forget
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they really do. They are crazy shit.
Speaker 3: They forget about it after like three days. They're like, yeah, whatever, Halloween,
Speaker 3: Oh Jack.
Speaker 2: Do you dole it out?
Speaker 1: Do I dole it out?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: They're no.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, are they in control of their their bag account? No? No, no.
Speaker 1: They get a couple of pieces on Halloween night and
Speaker 1: then like maybe one or two and like a couple
Speaker 1: of nights after, and then they forget about it because
Speaker 1: they're also like they my wife raised them on the
Speaker 1: idea that fruit is dessert and fruit is the sweetest
Speaker 1: thing that you get, and so they are there they
Speaker 1: really prefer fruit to candy. And I'm just sitting there
Speaker 1: being like, you suckers. When I eat all of their
Speaker 1: candy and Dad has all my Jolly Ranchers in his
Speaker 1: mouth again, I'm going to enjoy for the rest of
Speaker 1: the night. Dad's teeth rotting out of his head at
Speaker 1: such a rate that we can actually see it in
Speaker 1: real time.
Speaker 2: I think I saw a worm come out of his
Speaker 2: incisor too.
Speaker 1: How's a gummy worm, I saying.
Speaker 3: It's gonna diagram on this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and finally we've got a great trend a thriving
Speaker 1: subculture in New Zealand. There's been a bunch of headlines
Speaker 1: in the past week about how a New Zealand town
Speaker 1: has been plagued by drivers blasting Selene Dion ballads, which
Speaker 1: has turned people's lives into chaos.
Speaker 3: It sounds to me like plagued is the wrong, should
Speaker 3: be enhanced blest, yeahs, blessed, thank you.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it makes it sound like it's a prank
Speaker 1: of some sort of some sort, but it's actually kind
Speaker 1: of nuanced and beautiful. So there's this, there's this elaborate
Speaker 1: New Zealand subculture in which siren clubs have quote siren
Speaker 1: battles where they blare music on speakers hooked up to
Speaker 1: modded cars or bikes to compete for the title of
Speaker 1: Siren King to win. So this is like this was
Speaker 1: happening with like bass when when I was growing up
Speaker 1: with like cars with like yeah bass war. But the
Speaker 1: difference here is to win, their sounds can't just be
Speaker 1: the loudest. They also have to be the clearest, which
Speaker 1: is why competitors many of them of the Pacifica community
Speaker 1: have been using Celine Dion because her music has high treble,
Speaker 1: which it makes it very clear. You can play at
Speaker 1: it a loud volume and three blocks away they just
Speaker 1: hear the voice of an angel sound out in the night,
Speaker 1: clear as a bell.
Speaker 3: As if I didn't already want to move to New
Speaker 3: Zealand enough, I know, Right, that's their biggest problem is
Speaker 3: people blasting Celine Dion.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, and it's wild too, because it's not even like
Speaker 2: even when people are like it's a gang or whatever,
Speaker 2: they're like, no, it's actually like a really positive thing
Speaker 2: for like young people.
Speaker 1: It's not even like they're doing a gang. They say,
Speaker 1: like the kids are like actually, like this keeps me
Speaker 1: pretty like it's like a fun, productive thing that we
Speaker 1: do together, right.
Speaker 2: It like it reminds me of like how like in
Speaker 2: some cities on the East Coast, like they're they're like
Speaker 2: angry when they see like groups of kids in this
Speaker 2: like city on bikes and stuff. Yeah, and they're like.
Speaker 1: It's a nuisance.
Speaker 2: You're like, honestly, some of these kids like this is
Speaker 2: this is healthier for them to have fun together doing
Speaker 2: something like on a bike. Then you know, getting into
Speaker 2: some fucking nonsense or get in trouble. So it's it's
Speaker 2: it's always interesting to see how these subcultures pop up.
Speaker 2: And then like I love that it's such a respect
Speaker 2: for the fidelity that they've had to dial it. And
Speaker 2: it's like Selene Dion is actually like it's not even
Speaker 2: about the style, it's about this is the music that
Speaker 2: helps us really determine who the Siren King is.
Speaker 1: I'm just picturing like a bunch of teenagers. It's like
Speaker 1: that scene in Shawshank when like the voice comes over
Speaker 1: and like all these teenagers just like look up in
Speaker 1: a single tier like runs down their eye, you know.
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, what's your favorite Selene Dion ballad?
Speaker 2: I mean the power of Lirve? Yeah, I feel it
Speaker 2: has to be right. I'm blacks and that shit. If
Speaker 2: I'm not by heart well going, that.
Speaker 1: Feels I'm sorry, it feels a little little played.
Speaker 2: Although I'm not saying the power of Nerve is the
Speaker 2: you know, like an original banger either, but I just
Speaker 2: feel like that would if I'm trying to be a
Speaker 2: Siren King, I'll probably try and win.
Speaker 1: With that one.
Speaker 3: I think you would win, Sion King Miles and.
Speaker 2: You know, thank you so much. I'm you know, I'm
Speaker 2: I am planning to just maybe make my way to
Speaker 2: Auckland to see how I can you imagine that fucking
Speaker 2: comedy movie about some dude in like America.
Speaker 1: I'll be like, I just want to be a siren
Speaker 1: King dad.
Speaker 2: And making the journey to New Zealand.
Speaker 3: Do it. Live your dream, Live.
Speaker 1: Your dream boy. But he's trying to like bring bass
Speaker 1: music to the Siren battles and they're like, everyone's like
Speaker 1: this fucking sucks man. It's just it's all muddled. Man,
Speaker 1: I can't this is not Siren King material.
Speaker 2: If you kiss me like this, oh like that, it's
Speaker 2: all coming all coming back.
Speaker 1: I'll come in the backroom. I mean, now, wow, when
Speaker 1: it gets to.
Speaker 2: Baby, that's when you're fucking That's when you just put
Speaker 2: your siren King crown on. You're like, yep, any other questions.
Speaker 3: That that sh it's hot.
Speaker 1: I feel like I will always love you. Would be
Speaker 1: a fun one to just like hear again ring out
Speaker 1: because it opens with that long a cappella. Just just her,
Speaker 1: just Whitney, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, she's got lines like the flesh and the
Speaker 3: fantasy folks.
Speaker 1: It's all coming back when you when you said that line,
Speaker 1: it's all coming back to me, and it's all coming
Speaker 1: back to me. I just could smell the back seat
Speaker 1: of my parents car that song was playing, and I
Speaker 1: was nine years old.
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought this was you like making like making
Speaker 2: out in the back of your parents car, and you like.
Speaker 1: Should I put the celine Dion on? Shall we? Uh?
Speaker 1: Shall we smooch to some celine?
Speaker 3: Damn Jack?
Speaker 1: Shall we bless the back seat with some celine? Like
Speaker 1: can you take me home? Yeah? Yeah, sorry, that was
Speaker 1: a big swing on my part.
Speaker 2: I didn't.

Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know when you're supposed to, you know, I.
Speaker 3: Know that she's just sort of stared.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean like when the Guys child was first born,
Speaker 2: I was watching the boys okay, holding him, yeah, and
Speaker 2: I was like, man, these motherfuckers getting their heads melted.
Speaker 2: But part of me was like, man, he can't like
Speaker 2: everything I read, and like the doctor's like, they're not
Speaker 2: their eyesight isn't that developed yet, so they don't know
Speaker 2: what the fuck is going on.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, cool, cool, because there's some pretty wolent shit.
Speaker 3: I have watched a lot of X files with my daughter. Oh,
Speaker 3: and I'm pretty much banking on her not actually seeing
Speaker 3: any of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but maybe she is.
Speaker 3: Maybe she's going to be really in a fantasy absorbing it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she wants to be the Smoking Man next year.

Speaker 2: Also find us on our basketball podcast and also my
Speaker 2: ny podcast Fortunate Fiance was of Alexandra and check out
Speaker 2: The Good Thief. If you still haven't heard the true
Speaker 2: crime show that I hosted, let's see any stuff I like. No,
Speaker 2: I'm in the same boat.
Speaker 1: I have not.
Speaker 2: I just tried.
Speaker 1: You know, Goosebum started losing me.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. I got a couple more episodes in.
Speaker 2: I started, I started wavering a little bit. Although there
Speaker 2: are references to Arsenal, which shout out to the writer
Speaker 2: whoever decided to make like that kind of be a
Speaker 2: central plot line for something. But yeah, I'm gonna be honest,
Speaker 2: I've I've lost a bit of momentum there. I think
Speaker 2: we're gonna try five Knife Freddy next yeah, or five
Speaker 2: Nights at Freddy's because the writing, the pieces don't stopped
Speaker 2: be like like why is this film so divisive? And
Speaker 2: I'm like, now i gotta see you, like, yeah, let
Speaker 2: me know it's also the best, I think, debut for
Speaker 2: a horror film directed by a woman too made.
Speaker 1: It Struye No Shit. You can find me on Twitter
Speaker 1: at Jack Underscore Brian. A couple of tweets I've been enjoying. First,
Speaker 1: Andrew Lawrence tweeted, Wow, you're in your sixties and you
Speaker 1: think the kids these days are out of control? What
Speaker 1: a unique and interesting opinion to hold. Are you impressed
Speaker 1: with their work ethic? Holy shit, you aren't very fascinating.
Speaker 1: Please continue. And then also we got a tweet from
Speaker 1: rock O T. Thompson, which is Camille Paglia, the feminist academic,
Speaker 1: on a show. It was like a talk show. I
Speaker 1: don't know it.
Speaker 3: Was she a traitorous one?
Speaker 1: Was she am?
Speaker 3: I remembering?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: Was she the one that was like women should stay home?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. But the main thing I know
Speaker 1: her for is she went on a talk show and
Speaker 1: was like Revenge of the SI, the third Star Wars
Speaker 1: movie is the most important work of art of the
Speaker 1: past decade essentially, And that is the sort of like,
Speaker 1: if you're going to be a strange, out of touch
Speaker 1: older person, I prefer that like having weird, out of
Speaker 1: control enthusiasm for something as opposed to just having the
Speaker 1: same bullshit like disdain for everything new. Instead focus on
Speaker 1: the new things and like find a thing that you
Speaker 1: really fuck with and be wrong about it, but still,
Speaker 1: you know, I prefer that. So that was rock O. T.
Speaker 1: Thompson retweeted Camille Pegley on Revenge of the Sith two
Speaker 1: thousand and five.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, I just looked her up.
Speaker 6: She is.
Speaker 3: She's accused of being anti feminists often.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, well she's pro Revenge of the Sith this track.
Speaker 2: Yeah, blame the woman for Darth Vader.
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, that is kind of the plot of
Speaker 1: that movie, isn't it.
Speaker 3: It's perfect for it.
