Speaker 3: You know, I don't think he's anyone. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: he comes on friendly, but he is Jeff Tweety, and
Speaker 3: he's got legions of annoying white man who follow him around.
Speaker 1: What if you got what if Jeff Tweety had you disappeared?
Speaker 1: That would be the most embarrassing way to get off
Speaker 1: Jeff Tweety off to you.
Speaker 3: I can believe it. He would have, like he would
Speaker 3: have one of the guys in Less Savvy fav do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's just say a ghost is born after this podcast.
Speaker 3: Oh god, exactly. Yeah. Yeah, and now you've revealed Jack
Speaker 3: that you are one of his followers.
Speaker 2: I am, I am legion.
Speaker 3: All right, I'll tell you quick funny story, quick funny story.
Speaker 3: I was in a coffee shop when Sky Blue Sky
Speaker 3: came off out. I've also been in a coffee shop
Speaker 3: when every album came out. But but but I like
Speaker 3: the guy behind the counter was like one of these
Speaker 3: guys who loves will go like thinks they're like, you know,
Speaker 3: I don't know, really important for some reason.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I think they're good, you know, I think
Speaker 2: they're good. Yeah, you know, I like them a lot.
Speaker 3: I mean I've gotten a little bit tired of them.
Speaker 3: But but I mean they put out i don't know,
Speaker 3: one hundred records or something like.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Way in side projects, he has some side project with
Speaker 3: a son, you know, and yeah, it's called tweety.
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy's a megalomaniac.
Speaker 3: But anyway, the uh anyway, he I would love to
Speaker 3: get in a feud with him. It'd be so good
Speaker 3: for my social media number. Oh my god, I could
Speaker 3: just get him to yell at me once. I would
Speaker 3: get I don't know what I would get with something. Yeah,
Speaker 3: probably four or five more followers on threads.
Speaker 1: Yea who just antagonized you the whole time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that anyway, I was in this in this
Speaker 3: store and Sky Blue Sky was like a disappointment and
Speaker 3: that's this guy was like he just said to me,
Speaker 3: the guy behind the counter. I was like, oh, what
Speaker 3: do you think of this new Wilco record or whatever.
Speaker 3: I don't even know what I was taking. I just
Speaker 3: talked to baristas because I'm lonely. I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: and he said, he said, it's it's it's disappointing when
Speaker 3: you when you really when you know what they are
Speaker 3: capable of, which I thought that was really funny to me,
Speaker 3: Like really.
Speaker 1: That my parents would have said to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was this really weird like and I knew
Speaker 3: what he meant, because like there's a certain class of
Speaker 3: like music fan that likes like when will Cope put
Speaker 3: a lot of computer noises in their songs, like they
Speaker 3: were like, now we're getting somewhere, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: And then like Skyblo's guy was sort of just like
Speaker 3: regular rock and roll without as much beeping or like,
Speaker 3: and they're like, yeah, we know that they're capable of more.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, you mean more computer noises.
Speaker 1: More beeping?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you mean like Dusty Computer. You mean, like
Speaker 3: you think music's advanced if it uses machines. And I
Speaker 3: didn't get into it with him because I just wanted to,
Speaker 3: you know, I didn't want to have a fight.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, Cold War kids don't use the machines.
Speaker 2: They just it's just all talent and vocals, you know,
Speaker 2: knows nothing about music. I've noticed that the Cold War
Speaker 2: Kid that's my most current reference. Also, the Cold War
Speaker 2: Kids they tape recorder. Yeah that's right, they never did
Speaker 2: that ship. But anyway, that's the book ahead.
Speaker 1: This podcast is Coldbrew got me like his book is
Speaker 1: The Advice King Anthology. Uh, he's the only person who
Speaker 1: will go off on a ten minute sidebar during his introduction.

Speaker 3: don't want to say out loud. There's not like a
Speaker 3: lot of people are gonna be like there's a lot
Speaker 3: of people just went you know, but whatever, you know,
Speaker 3: I gotta like I'm an oversharer. I'm not gonna start
Speaker 3: lying about my age. I like to tell people the
Speaker 3: real deal. Yeah, like grunge style. I was raised by
Speaker 3: Eddie Vedder, and Eddie Bedder tells the truth.
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's now point right there, justin we
Speaker 1: can come back in a year.
Speaker 3: Eddie tell the truth if he doesn't anymore. He doesn't anymore,
Speaker 3: though he has a facelift. He has a facelift.
Speaker 2: Eddie, did he get a facelift?
Speaker 3: Yeh, man, come on, I mean it's well done. But
Speaker 3: still he got one, you know, Oh really yeah he.
Speaker 2: Got I mean, I mean, well the best one I've
Speaker 2: ever seen.
Speaker 1: Does he have those like otherworldly eyes that like Wolf
Speaker 1: Blitzer's face lift was just like, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: his eyes looked like he was like from David Lynch's
Speaker 1: Dune or something like. His eyes just like had these weird,
Speaker 1: like shadowy blue like features to them.
Speaker 3: I think Eddie looks like he just looks like what
Speaker 3: he is, which is like a guy who gave up
Speaker 3: on the whole, you know. I mean he kind of
Speaker 3: gave up on the grue thing, you know, fighting Ticketmaster
Speaker 3: and stuff like all that stuff like that. I was,
Speaker 3: you know, like, I was like, that's what you were
Speaker 3: here for.
Speaker 2: I like that guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the guy was all mad. Now he's
Speaker 3: like mister you know, he's just like mister Chicago Cubs
Speaker 3: or whatever.
Speaker 2: His pro junk feet.
Speaker 3: When I saw made it. When I saw him, he
Speaker 3: made a big speech. I saw him in LA before
Speaker 3: I moved, and he in twenty twenty two and he
Speaker 3: made a speech about how he didn't think that the
Speaker 3: allegations against Bill Murray were true because he's hung out
Speaker 3: with Bill Murray and Bill Murray's rules. He was super nice,
Speaker 3: and I was like, he went on a long thing
Speaker 3: about that, and I was like, man, Eddie, you need
Speaker 3: to drink glass wine on stage, you dumb an.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, you just turned into everything.
Speaker 3: Guy who I've met, you used to rail against people
Speaker 3: like what you're Yeah, I mean just it was like, dude,
Speaker 3: you fucking you did it, and you fucking got too
Speaker 3: famous in all right. Yeah, so anyway, Eddie Vedder would
Speaker 3: say he was the old Eddie Vedder that I used
Speaker 3: to like. What a set he was fifty five? And
Speaker 3: I'll tell you one thing on a blog, on a
Speaker 3: blog or on some fucking one time. It went on
Speaker 3: that reddit they have for the Daily Zeitgeist, that the
Speaker 3: subreddit mistake, right, I know, I know, but I wanted more.
Speaker 2: I wanted more praise. I was looking for more praise now.
Speaker 3: I couldn't get enough on the regular, on the underneath
Speaker 3: the underneath Instagram, was enough prompted?
Speaker 2: Did a good job? All?
Speaker 3: This craft is the number one fever or whatever? I said, Yeah,
Speaker 3: And then I went on Reddit and crafted one guy
Speaker 3: is I always put I always put that under sweeping
Speaker 3: the Globe Instagram, Instagram.
Speaker 1: Oh it's always there's a past that craft, truly.
Speaker 3: Anyway, So I went on God damn the subreddit, and
Speaker 3: the subreddit said, uh that. They said that it was
Speaker 3: sad that I was fifty three, So I can only
Speaker 3: imagine like this guy was like, I think it's kind
Speaker 3: of sad that he is doing this at age fifty three.
Speaker 3: And then and then someone else said, what's he supposed
Speaker 3: to be doing. I know he's like, what else is
Speaker 3: he supposed to be doing? And then the guy was like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, but I know what he
Speaker 3: thought because he thinks the fifty three year olds have
Speaker 3: a yacht or golf. Yeah, you're supposed to have a
Speaker 3: yacht or some ship and you.
Speaker 1: Should be hanging out of his golf club country club.
Speaker 2: And another do that too, Like you don't just podcast,
Speaker 2: you do also hang out at your golf club as well.
Speaker 2: Who knowing you can.
Speaker 1: Pull you pull your yacht up to your golf course.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I run, I run a Yeah I run.
Speaker 3: I run a whole network of gambling sites.
Speaker 2: I do a lot of things. You do a lot
Speaker 2: of interest. I would argue that ys might be the
Speaker 2: best thing to drink as a performer, like at a
Speaker 2: rock show, where because liquor that will take hold of
Speaker 2: you too quickly, beer will loat you and you'll like
Speaker 2: burn during the performance. Were wine, I think might actually
Speaker 2: be the smoothest thing that you can if you're gonna
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: Maybe it would have been better if Eddie Vedder had
Speaker 1: been bloated during his speech about how his fellow celebrity
Speaker 1: was cool to him. And so therefore it can't be
Speaker 1: a predator. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Also a speech that he didn't even make a comment
Speaker 2: in passing. It was rough.
Speaker 3: It was rough stuff. And he also said, like he
Speaker 3: called a woman a bitch, like he was like, he's
Speaker 3: like he was wearing a sparkly jacket and some other
Speaker 3: someone in the audience was wearing a sparkly jacket, like
Speaker 3: he was wearing a sequin jacket. And he said like,
Speaker 3: don't steal my thunder, bitch. And then he felt so
Speaker 3: bad about it because his old like activist self like
Speaker 3: was he wasn't drunk enough to forget that. So he
Speaker 3: started saying like women needed to equal pay and stuff
Speaker 3: right after that, and it was like, man, you are
Speaker 3: a fucking mess.
Speaker 2: Equal pay to buy different jackets than me.
Speaker 1: He was.
Speaker 2: He was so embarrassed, he.
Speaker 3: Said, bitch when I mean no one really he was.
Speaker 3: And then he went on and he's immediately said like
Speaker 3: women's pay was going up or something, and it was like,
Speaker 3: my god, you are too drunk, buddy.
Speaker 1: You know, well, you've you've alienated the tweety mafia and
Speaker 1: now the vetermans.
Speaker 2: And you've alienated you should take all that out. Sorry
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 3: Bitches and sparkle jacket. You could take that out. But
Speaker 3: I'm fifty five. I don't know what that means. I'm
Speaker 3: fifty five, so I get to go to the movies.
Speaker 2: Or something for half bridan. I don't know what happened something.
Speaker 2: It's the new forty seven. Yeah, fifty forty seven. So
Speaker 2: you're you're your threat.
Speaker 1: That where we're at now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it doesn't matter. No one can stop me,
Speaker 2: no one.
Speaker 1: It's always it's always very convincing when there's a pause
Speaker 1: in between stocks.
Speaker 3: No one can stop me. I'm unhinge the right face,
Speaker 3: I'm unhinge me.
Speaker 1: Yes, he's on him. I'm gonna add that to your intro.
Speaker 1: Actually next time, all right, Chris, we're gonna get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners some of the stories.
Speaker 2: We have no concept of who you are.
Speaker 1: We're gonna tell our listeners some of the stories we
Speaker 1: would have gotten to if we had different people in
Speaker 1: our second and third seats, So.
Speaker 2: We would have talked about a guy.
Speaker 1: This one I think we might get to because I
Speaker 1: think Chris, you might be interested in this one. This
Speaker 1: is a story about a guy who created an underground
Speaker 1: eel pit in his basement that one of our listeners,
Speaker 1: Amber at girl who nerds on Twitter, shared with us.
Speaker 1: He has, like you know how basements will sometimes have
Speaker 1: like a manhole cover type thing that's like, oh, there's
Speaker 1: a sump pump or something under there, a rain cistern. Well,
Speaker 1: he had a rainwater cistern under there and converted it
Speaker 1: into a large fish tank for American.
Speaker 2: Eels, not not these, not these foreign eels, that wide
Speaker 2: and blue eels.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were caught in Maine. He specifically says, we
Speaker 1: have some good news about Paris changing their culture around
Speaker 1: cars to being a bike city, So we'll talk about that,
Speaker 1: maybe some conversations about rich people getting second passports, something
Speaker 1: about the new Civil war movie an Ai Pin that
Speaker 1: is here to solve none of your problems, all of that.
Speaker 1: Not really, none of that, probably, but maybe a couple
Speaker 1: of times we'll see. But before we don't get to
Speaker 1: that stuff, Chris, we do like to ask our guest
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history?
Speaker 3: I got a pretty good one this time. Okay, if
Speaker 3: you've been listening to my podcast, Colebrew got me like
Speaker 3: you probably have heard me talk about this. In fact,
Speaker 3: you definitely have, but I have to bring it up
Speaker 3: just in case you guys familiar with the human.
Speaker 1: Zee, the human ze. This is like a missing link.
Speaker 3: Type humansie human chimpanzee hybrid, which there is I don't
Speaker 3: think there is one, right but like cryptozoology. But in
Speaker 3: the nineteen seventies, like these, this group of people, like
Speaker 3: not very many became convinced that this one chimp was
Speaker 3: a half man half chimp because he walked around and
Speaker 3: he didn't walk on all fours like a chimp, and
Speaker 3: he also had like a kind of look like a person,
Speaker 3: kind of looked like me, and he kind of looked
Speaker 3: like me, like I don't know, pale, like yeah, maybe pale,
Speaker 3: I was thinking pale. And his face was like hairless,
Speaker 3: like where a chimp's face is hairy, so like he
Speaker 3: could see more of his face, which anyway, he's like. Basically,
Speaker 3: these people just decided that he was half human because
Speaker 3: he looked like kind of like half human, and because
Speaker 3: he he walked on his let on his hind legs,
Speaker 3: which he was brought up he was in a New
Speaker 3: Jersey being raised by people who trained chimps for you know,
Speaker 3: to fire cap guns and roller skate and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: You know, like a chimpanzee training camp for like movies
Speaker 3: or TV shows or whatever. And it's always like two
Speaker 3: nutballs who just like you know, who just are nuts,
Speaker 3: you know, have these chimpanzees running around their yard and
Speaker 3: they teach them how to smile and stuff by you know,
Speaker 3: god knows what technique and uh, yeah whatever, putting like
Speaker 3: a close pin on their nuts or whatever, and uh and.
Speaker 2: Or whatever whatever.
Speaker 3: But whatever, it's an unpleasant business, I'm sure. And anyway,
Speaker 3: this this family had these chimps and then they had
Speaker 3: this one named Oliver, and he was like they were like,
Speaker 3: he's half human because he walks in a way that
Speaker 3: we can't teach apes or we can't teach our chips
Speaker 3: to walk. We can teach him to walk a little bit,
Speaker 3: but we have to like, you know whatever, make sure
Speaker 3: they're doing it or whatever, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: We have to like make them be look to you
Speaker 3: next to them, like you know, with the stick or whatever.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if it's with the stick, you know,
Speaker 3: but not to hit them. Maybe not to hit them,
Speaker 3: but just like to you know, put them under the
Speaker 3: chin and remind him that they need to be walking.
Speaker 2: Or verbal insults.
Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever happens to chimps when they're in New Jersey
Speaker 3: instead of the fucking jungle. So so anyway, there's suburban
Speaker 3: in there's suburban when they're in suburban New Jerseys, sitting
Speaker 3: in like a lazy boy instead of in the jungle
Speaker 3: where they're supposed to be. So this family decides, and
Speaker 3: then somehow this lawyer gets wind of this chimp that's
Speaker 3: supposed to be half human. And I don't know how
Speaker 3: in the world, there's like some grapevine in nineteen seventy
Speaker 3: seven where people just like word of mouth, they're talking
Speaker 3: about this half human anyway, this loyal.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, you know what it was is this the
Speaker 2: zoologist was probably screaming at the top of his lungs.
Speaker 2: Can we please stop these rumors about him being half human?
Speaker 2: I'm the only one with access to his mother. Can
Speaker 2: we your ruining by family?
Speaker 3: Well there's a freaking yes, there's.
Speaker 1: This guy definitely fucked a chimp, sucked he sucked it.
Speaker 3: So this documentary is just unbelievable. You gotta maybe I
Speaker 3: can link it or send it to Justin or something.
Speaker 3: It is like uh, the guy. It's the whole documentary
Speaker 3: is just based on these people who think this thing
Speaker 3: is that. They're like even after all of the stuff
Speaker 3: where it's like, this thing is, there's no proof this
Speaker 3: thing's anything but a chimp with like no hair on
Speaker 3: his face because of some you know, well he's got
Speaker 3: mange or not mange, but like some kind of genetic
Speaker 3: things born with no hair on his face. Just because
Speaker 3: of things born with no hair on his face doesn't
Speaker 3: mean it's half. But they're like, this is definitely a
Speaker 3: half human half this is definitely a humans. But nobody
Speaker 3: offered any proof, but they were still like, I still
Speaker 3: think he is. Like there was just like three people trainers.
Speaker 3: The trainers thought he was a half human. This piano
Speaker 3: player guy, this pianist who tried to buy him, but
Speaker 3: he got out bid by a lawyer, and the lawyer
Speaker 3: took him to Japan, where the thing was like you know,
Speaker 3: he went on TV and more like athletic shorts and
Speaker 3: ruled an exercise bike and like you know, and this
Speaker 3: guy was like it was supposed to be researched. Those
Speaker 3: Japanese fucked me. I was supposed to get we were
Speaker 3: supposed to do serious research and they had them on TV.
Speaker 1: You know, you like, rip anyone's fingers or face.
Speaker 2: Anyway, humans and they have a British narrator.
Speaker 3: I don't know what showed this was on the SI
Speaker 3: it's a do you know s c I channel has
Speaker 3: had a sci Fi channel?
Speaker 1: Maybe s c I No, I think Sci Fi Channel
Speaker 1: changed its spelling to s y f y for some reason.
Speaker 3: List from like two thousand and two. This documentary anyway,
Speaker 3: it's absolutely wonderful. And then and they really go into
Speaker 3: the main reason this this chimp had to be taken
Speaker 3: out of the out of the training facility which is
Speaker 3: really you know, a ranch house, you know, and had
Speaker 3: to stop drinking wine. He's and also he's a human
Speaker 3: because look he drinks a lot. He drinks a lot
Speaker 3: of liquor. It's like yeah, Murray, yeah, Bill Maher anyone
Speaker 3: who loves Bill. And then there's one guy says like
Speaker 3: that he thinks that he heard that his uncle worked
Speaker 3: at a lab in the twenties where they definitely produced
Speaker 3: a human human z And you're like, that's the same
Speaker 3: story everybody says about it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: He's like in the twenties, my uncle worked at this
Speaker 3: lab in Pensacola where they it definitely happened they made
Speaker 3: one and they had to use the nize it, you know,
Speaker 3: and it's like you could substitute just Richard Gere in
Speaker 3: the fucking Hamster for any part of that story or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta find this documentary is going to come
Speaker 2: forward really good.
Speaker 3: It's really good.
Speaker 1: There's a new art film starring Jesse Eisenberg called Sasquatch
Speaker 1: Sunset that it just like follows a family of sasquatch around,
Speaker 1: like Jesse Eisenberg, I believe is playing one of them.
Speaker 2: Nobody's just.
Speaker 1: That's right. It's Jesse Eisenberg and his original you know,
Speaker 1: without the makeup that makes him look less like a humanity. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's a I don't know, Like I remember watching that
Speaker 1: Werner Herzog movie about the like cave art like from
Speaker 1: that's like some of the earliest culture that we have
Speaker 1: of like prehistory or humans. And like one of the
Speaker 1: first things that we ever drew was like half animal
Speaker 1: half human, like I think it was a cat person.
Speaker 1: And I think there's just a like fascination that's like
Speaker 1: built into us that we just like want these creatures
Speaker 1: that are like half human half animal like that. That's
Speaker 1: just there and what we will keep making it happen
Speaker 1: one way or another in our In our case, I
Speaker 1: think it's the like we're our version of culture is
Speaker 1: more interested in like half human half ape and that's
Speaker 1: why we have the obsession with like bigfoot and sasquatch
Speaker 1: and humansy. But you know, past cultures have given us
Speaker 1: like were wolves or like cat people.
Speaker 2: Was that the documentary where the cave art kills the
Speaker 2: subject of the documentary at the end, was that then
Speaker 2: eats it? Or is that a different that's a different one.
Speaker 2: That's a different one. Okay, I'm so yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Think I think you're thinking of a horror film.
Speaker 2: Oh no, grizzly man.
Speaker 1: I was grizzly men.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I apologize.
Speaker 1: Yes, of the Dakota grizzly man.
Speaker 2: Correct. Yeah, you said grizzly man. That's interesting. That's his
Speaker 2: family we should have like Cox it's my given name.
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of coxman? Yeah?
Speaker 3: They used to say in the seventies, like they called
Speaker 3: like men like who were like they called me?
Speaker 2: Anyway, I don't need to talk about what's the one
Speaker 2: who drives the boat and Crew. Is that a Coxswain
Speaker 2: or is that a Coxswain Coxwayne? Imagine the jokes.
Speaker 3: Imagine the jokes.
Speaker 2: That's why I had to quit Crew. I couldn't handle it.
Speaker 2: I was laughing too hard to.
Speaker 3: Imagine being the Coxswayne. Imagine how Manny shows.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, they did do them the good deed of
Speaker 1: making it co O X s W A I N
Speaker 1: and so that people like, no, it's not even that
Speaker 1: it's Cox right, and then laugh laugh.
Speaker 3: So anyway, check out this. Check out this humansy documentary.
Speaker 3: It's a British guy doing the narration and he says
Speaker 3: HUMANSI so many times, so great and it's so great,
Speaker 3: and he just he keeps saying that all anyone thinks
Speaker 3: about is human z's and like he's like, how scientists
Speaker 3: are constantly thinking about human z's and I don't think
Speaker 3: that that's true. And you know, he just like made
Speaker 3: this this thing like it seemed like that's all on
Speaker 3: the front burner of human you know, all anyone thinks
Speaker 3: about is human zis.
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, I just I never even heard
Speaker 2: of humans.
Speaker 1: I think there really is a type of person who
Speaker 1: is just born built in obsessed with human z's and
Speaker 1: like half human half I mean like, I mean, we
Speaker 1: have fairies, we have people who like identify that way,
Speaker 1: so it's not breaking news. But I just feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's something that's just there. It's not unique to our
Speaker 1: like weird time or whatever. We've just always had that.
Speaker 3: I feel like, well, I've thought about like, yeah, I've
Speaker 3: thought about bigfoot plenty, but I don't think about I've
Speaker 3: never thought about Humanz's at all until I saw this documentary,
Speaker 3: and uh.
Speaker 2: Now you can't stop thinking about it. It's anyway, it's
Speaker 2: like just the one thin the twur related.
Speaker 3: I never thought about that. No, I never considered a
Speaker 3: big footing question. I never thought that a bigfoot was
Speaker 3: a was a like the son of a person who
Speaker 3: had sex with a chimpanzee. Oh okay, But anyway, I
Speaker 3: think it's funny when the middle class in the seventies,
Speaker 3: there was a middle class, so people are thinking about
Speaker 3: all these kind of things that are fun to think about.
Speaker 3: No one has any time.
Speaker 1: They got too close to the truth, and that's why
Speaker 1: they destroyed the middle class in the eighties.
Speaker 3: Oh maybe that's what it is. I was just thinking about, like,
Speaker 3: you know, these people could afford, like, you know, to
Speaker 3: bottle feed chimps and stuff like in their ranch house.
Speaker 3: Probably both of them were like driver's head teachers or something,
Speaker 3: you know, they like somehow had enough of an economy
Speaker 3: going that they could run to Chimp Preserve.
Speaker 2: No one's got any money for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've retired at fifty five. I just uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been a driver's that teacher for forty years and
Speaker 1: it was a good money.
Speaker 3: How was you buy your house? Oh, I'm a driver's
Speaker 3: ed instructor.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's a good gig. What are you gonna
Speaker 2: do with your extra money? I think about I started
Speaker 2: Chimp Preserve.
Speaker 1: Chimps smile and smoked the gar Yeah, oh you got
Speaker 1: a house down the shore.
Speaker 2: Yeah? What years?
Speaker 3: This nineteen seventy six?
Speaker 2: Yes, And I hate this question, but why do you
Speaker 2: have so many bottles of milk in the back of
Speaker 2: your car? What is what? What is that?
Speaker 1: Oh? I'm so glad you asked?
Speaker 5: Heard?
Speaker 2: Have I heard of one?
Speaker 3: That's all I think about.
Speaker 2: Funny the guy too, is the guy who's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, like all these half men, half beasts, like
Speaker 2: the lockless blockness monsters. Someone truly, you know, tried to
Speaker 2: fuck a lizard. And then you know tearodactyls. Someone tried
Speaker 2: to fuck a lizard, and wait, do you want to
Speaker 2: a lizard?
Speaker 1: Is that dinosaurs are Obviously someone fucked a lizard. That's
Speaker 1: why I'm standing up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wonder who fucked a whale and made the
Speaker 3: lock Ness monster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're singing in there.
Speaker 3: I never thought about that at Alloo, fifty five is
Speaker 3: already a good year. That's right, baby, I'm thinking about
Speaker 3: new things.
Speaker 2: This is the direction things are having. It truly is.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about new nonprofit things.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk about your underrated overrated.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and Chris Crofton, we do like to
Speaker 1: ask our guests, and particularly you, especially you, what is
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated?
Speaker 3: I was thinking alcohol or no overrated? Was alcohol? And airplanes?
Speaker 3: So underrated? Was underrated? Was how much Nashville sucks? See
Speaker 3: what I did? Yeah, how much Nashville sucks? Because I
Speaker 3: don't know if you guys have been paying attention, but
Speaker 3: the whole world has at this point been paying attention
Speaker 3: to what's happening in Tennessee. And I'm just wondering at
Speaker 3: what point the Justice Department intervenes in a state that
Speaker 3: is violating civil rights or whether that's something that at
Speaker 3: this point would be considered. Oh, we don't want to
Speaker 3: get the Republicans mad, you know what I mean, Like, Oh,
Speaker 3: this is no time to make the Republicans mad, which
Speaker 3: is like the whole I guess the whole future is
Speaker 3: going to be that we can't do anything ever because
Speaker 3: it's going to make somebody upset and then they'll be
Speaker 3: worse than they were already, which is the whole idea
Speaker 3: of you know, I don't know, we'll just like do
Speaker 3: some barbaric shit at the border, so like, you know,
Speaker 3: instead of like taking a stand against Republican policy, we're gonna,
Speaker 3: you know, this this weird thing where we have to
Speaker 3: like appease fascists as some way forward to get Democrats elected.
Speaker 2: But anyway, I.
Speaker 3: Just think what's happening in Tennessee is so disheartening that
Speaker 3: I want to move. And I want to move in
Speaker 3: the sense that everybody's gonna want to move out of
Speaker 3: states like this, and and and I'm not kidding, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding.
Speaker 3: I'm considering like this is like Luxembourg, and like, I
Speaker 3: don't know, I don't know anything about what lu Luxembourg's like.
Speaker 2: A case of Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
Speaker 3: Who knows, you know, who knows familiar. I'm not really
Speaker 3: familiar with South America, So Luxembourg.
Speaker 1: There is an article in cs CNBC, Yesimiami dot Net,
Speaker 1: Yes I might where I get all my news. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just as you finished an article. It plays the move theme,
Speaker 1: but it's all about people being like how the uber
Speaker 1: wealthy are investing in second passports to get like to
Speaker 1: prepare themselves to flee the country. But they like, first
Speaker 1: of all, it's not it's not in a thing in
Speaker 1: an article that's like outraged about this. This is in
Speaker 1: an article called CNBC's Inside Wealth newsletter, where they.
Speaker 2: I subscribe to that, so let me actually just pull
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they follow like the behavior of rich people the
Speaker 1: way like gossip b logs report on Arian Grande, like
Speaker 1: they're just like, oh what Peter Thial do, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: how's he spending his money?
Speaker 2: He bought he bought a pool table that walks.
Speaker 1: And is humiliated when you play pool on it, which
Speaker 1: is part of the fun for him. But yeah, Basically,
Speaker 1: the uberwealthy are collecting second citizenships, and that's you need
Speaker 1: to be either extremely wealthy to afford it, or you
Speaker 1: need to like have relatives who have dual citizenship or
Speaker 1: something otherwise you're kind of fucked.
Speaker 2: There's like a bunch of countries that make it easier
Speaker 2: than other Like I think Portugal makes it fairly easy.
Speaker 2: But it and by fairly easy, it's relative of in
Speaker 2: order to get us citizenship, it's probably the most difficult
Speaker 2: thing anyone can do in the history of the world.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I have so us. Sorry, but when I
Speaker 2: say that us as the wealthy, we have been doing
Speaker 2: that where it is a thing, and we also obviously
Speaker 2: have disposable income to take a the flights to own
Speaker 2: second properties in other countries too. You know, we've been
Speaker 2: doing that. You all have just heard about it recently,
Speaker 2: but we've actually been planning this for quite some time.
Speaker 1: You're yeah, if you have been paying attention to our
Speaker 1: newsletter about all the cool shit we get up to.
Speaker 2: For my Instagram account, it's not just it's.
Speaker 1: Not just a second passport. You need what what the
Speaker 1: wealthy are calling passport portfolio collections of second and even
Speaker 1: third or fourth citizenships, and they specifically say, like a
Speaker 1: relatively small number of Americans do renounce their citizenship. So
Speaker 1: if you're not going to like pay a bunch of
Speaker 1: money and like own a house in a foreign country,
Speaker 1: you need to basically renounce your US citizenship, which most
Speaker 1: people don't want to do, so they're just like doing
Speaker 1: second second citizenships. So Luxembourg here we come, right, Well, yeah.
Speaker 3: Like Luxembourg, Like I mean, I just mean, like yeah,
Speaker 3: like if Luxembourg was Nash was Tennessee and and say,
Speaker 3: I don't know, fucking some other country going.
Speaker 2: To be really difficult what you're trying to do right now.
Speaker 2: Just I've been in your position before. You just signed
Speaker 2: yourself up for a very very difficult analogy.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna finish it.
Speaker 3: But let's say you move. It doesn't even need I
Speaker 3: don't even need to say that. All I'm saying is
Speaker 3: I want to move to California because of people are
Speaker 3: in a better fo there. People are in a horrible
Speaker 3: mood in Tennessee or and this is the thing, or
Speaker 3: they are trying to pretend everything's fine, which is what
Speaker 3: makes it even worse. There's a divide happening between liberals
Speaker 3: with property and liberals without property. Liberals with property in
Speaker 3: Nashville are having the time of their lives on one hand,
Speaker 3: because their property values have tripled in ten years, so
Speaker 3: they all are rich on paper, but they can't sell
Speaker 3: their houses. They can just like leverage it into loans
Speaker 3: and things, but they can't actually move, so they have
Speaker 3: to stay here because if they sell their house here,
Speaker 3: prices in Nashville are going up so high that they
Speaker 3: will immediately be priced out. Like if they sell their
Speaker 3: house safe for nine hundred thousand dollars that they bought
Speaker 3: for two hundred thousand dollars ten years ago, they will
Speaker 3: then like they can't just go ahead by another house,
Speaker 3: like you will not get a house, so you'll have
Speaker 3: to leave Nashville. So they're not gonna leave because a
Speaker 3: lot of them have kids and stuff, and I understand
Speaker 3: that they're stuck here, but that means that they will
Speaker 3: be unrealistically optimistic about what's going on because they just
Speaker 3: have to be because they have kids and stuff. But
Speaker 3: it's not it's insane to watch what Tennessee is doing
Speaker 3: is not light. They are overtly doing very racist stuff,
Speaker 3: like basically racism, like gabbling black people out of their
Speaker 3: rights to speak in the legislature on a regular basis,
Speaker 3: like and laughing in their faces white guys just pounding
Speaker 3: gabbles and not letting procedures go on that are supposed
Speaker 3: to go on for black legislators and they're just doing
Speaker 3: that and laughing and like. And they're also they just
Speaker 3: what is it TSU historically black university here? They they
Speaker 3: the state, the state of Tennessee withheld turns out they
Speaker 3: stole billions of dollars that was supposed to go to
Speaker 3: that university and they just took it over. They just
Speaker 3: they just installed a white like they since they installed
Speaker 3: the new board, they took over the college, like the
Speaker 3: overt the the things that are going on here are not.
Speaker 2: Normal. They're not normal at all.
Speaker 3: And I think there is this will for people to
Speaker 3: stay in this is normal, This is normal, This is
Speaker 3: normal because you just don't want it to not be normal.
Speaker 3: But at a certain point, when you run away, you're
Speaker 3: actually smart, you know. And I'm just saying that that
Speaker 3: is how it feels in Tennessee right now. For me
Speaker 3: as a person doesn't have any reason to be like
Speaker 3: sugarcoating it because I don't have any I don't have
Speaker 3: to stay here. I don't have any family my family here.
Speaker 3: But they're my family, you know, they're just my regular family.
Speaker 3: I don't care about them. So yeah, they whatever. Every
Speaker 3: man for himself. That's how my dad taught me. That's
Speaker 3: how my dad taught me.
Speaker 1: As I've been said many times, I thought you were
Speaker 1: a return to the fact that the Tennessee Senate just
Speaker 1: approved a measure allowing teachers to carry concealed guns.
Speaker 2: It is that true?
Speaker 1: That's true? And also that's true, and also that's true.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean also they like, yeah, I made
Speaker 3: the point today, like they're always talking about how teachers
Speaker 3: are pedophiles, but they also want to arm them.
Speaker 2: It's kind of confusing, right, Well, it is easier to
Speaker 2: say arm the teachers than arm the pedophiles.
Speaker 3: Like that's true, Yeah, certainly. So anyway, I think they
Speaker 3: should just skip. Why don't they just arm the kids?
Speaker 3: I mean, if that's the really the idea, you know,
Speaker 3: the guns make us safer, I mean, why why keep
Speaker 3: you know, why keep incrementally anyway? I just think that's
Speaker 3: that's it. It's just hard to get behind this like
Speaker 3: sort of we're like doing progressive, progressive policies in Nashville
Speaker 3: in this smaller and smaller area, and it's like to me,
Speaker 3: it's just like and everyone's just sort of being food
Speaker 3: ease and all these things that they want to do.
Speaker 3: And they also want to get famous. Everyone here wants
Speaker 3: to get famous. Everybody in America thinks they're entitled to
Speaker 3: get famous, and they will not let it be interrupted.
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear about bad news.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to.
Speaker 3: Become a famous person. And we have a disease. And
Speaker 3: it's not just America. The whole world is a disease
Speaker 3: because then.
Speaker 1: Intagram, I think it's worse in America, though, but it is.
Speaker 3: You know, it's like, no one's going to interrupt my
Speaker 3: my you know, I'm going to be the next Willie
Speaker 3: Nelson and no one's gonna stop.
Speaker 1: I don't care to be the next mister Beast. Mister Beast,
Speaker 1: he's mister Beast's economy.
Speaker 6: He's he's his own economy. He's a famous influencer on
Speaker 6: social media that all I all I know is I
Speaker 6: keep getting these Twitter ads for him where he's like
Speaker 6: I locked one hundred people in a haunted grocery store
Speaker 6: like saw saw how long they could survive for and.
Speaker 1: Then yeah, yeah, all right, you.
Speaker 3: Have a newsletter. I'm sure sign newsletter. So anyway, I
Speaker 3: just think that there's like I'm not feeling like uh
Speaker 3: and I'm sure this is happened to a lot of people,
Speaker 3: is that they're dealing with people who are having varying
Speaker 3: degrees of a good time because of if they own property,
Speaker 3: they're they're getting rich. And if you're a non if
Speaker 3: you're a renter like me, you are absolutely miserable. So
Speaker 3: there's just a divide, and these are people that used
Speaker 3: to be on my side. And then it gets sort
Speaker 3: of into this sort of.
Speaker 2: Like well maybe you should have bought you know what
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 3: It becomes like there's two kinds of liberals, like maybe
Speaker 3: it's your fucking fault.
Speaker 2: I mean, it really comes down to because they don't
Speaker 2: want to hear maybe.
Speaker 1: You should have been a driver's ed teacher.
Speaker 2: They don't want to hear it.
Speaker 3: You know, at a certain point they don't and they'll
Speaker 3: just it's getting you know. I just feel like at
Speaker 3: one point one of my friends is gonna be like,
Speaker 3: you just should have made more money, man, you know,
Speaker 3: like it's not really anybody else's fault except yours, and
Speaker 3: that's frightening.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I'm just frightened that the bootstrapping is going to
Speaker 3: be the next thing that's coming out of liberals mouths. Basically,
Speaker 3: oh yeah.
Speaker 2: And underrated or overrated.
Speaker 3: I was going to say, is alcohol and airplanes, just
Speaker 3: because I think it's funny that they keep selling this
Speaker 3: thing that makes them have to duct tape half the
Speaker 3: passengers to their seats, right, I mean, I really find
Speaker 3: that unbelievable.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: I will say, all right, just seems like you're slightly
Speaker 1: uh you know, subtweeting Blake here.
Speaker 2: You love to drink on the airplanes.
Speaker 1: He's been he's been duct taped to the last three planes.
Speaker 2: But I do it myself. I ductate myself before I
Speaker 2: ordered the drink. Yeah, right, exactly exactly.
Speaker 3: That's a good idea. That's a good idea.
Speaker 2: You yourself. You know, you're gonna go responsibly.
Speaker 1: Like at the end of those ads for alcohol where
Speaker 1: they're like, drink some responsibly, if they just had somebody
Speaker 1: duct taping themselves to.
Speaker 2: A radiator before their first drink, just assembling their gun
Speaker 2: and putting it in different rooms that they're.
Speaker 1: That's what it would have taken for me at the
Speaker 1: end to drink responsibly. I'll train myself to a radiator.
Speaker 2: And I'm so stupid. I almost conjugated the words safe
Speaker 2: to saves because in my mind, I'm like, wait, is
Speaker 2: the quoral of saves? Saves? Am I? Yeah? I don't
Speaker 2: want to sound like a moron.
Speaker 1: What if you're robbing a bank and you were like
Speaker 1: all of your saves and they're like wait what? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well hold on, I'm sorry, you know what I mean? Asshole?
Speaker 2: Yes, stop stop correcting me in my own home. Are
Speaker 2: you gonna home and bade me? Are you gonna home
Speaker 2: and bade me? I will actually I will agree with
Speaker 2: you Chris that drinking on a plane can be overrated
Speaker 2: because for for two reasons, one serious and one kind
Speaker 2: of this is this is why, this is, This is
Speaker 2: why my platform I like.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 2: You get more dehydrated on planes because of the altitude.
Speaker 2: So if you're drinking alcohol, it does hit you and
Speaker 2: make you your hangover will be worse the next day
Speaker 2: if you're drinking heavily on a plane. And then also,
Speaker 2: one of my favorite stories is that I had a
Speaker 2: friend who uh had was flying across the country, got
Speaker 2: hammer on a plane and forgot that he had driven
Speaker 2: to the airport. So when he got off the plane,
Speaker 2: he was like, oh God, damn it, I have to
Speaker 2: take an uber, hope, and then he had to uber
Speaker 2: back the next day to Lax to retrieve his car
Speaker 2: like a true drunk idiot. It's one of my favorite things. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I respect it. I respect it too. He didn't drink
Speaker 2: and drive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that is admirable. Chained himself to the radiator.
Speaker 1: I want to sleep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I think like it's that's a very funny
Speaker 3: idea that you preemptively like you like a dog putting.
Speaker 2: A thundershirt on or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like, listen, I know how I get.
Speaker 3: I'll I'll have a white wine splntzer. But I am
Speaker 3: aware of what is coming.
Speaker 1: You just have a mass text that goes out to
Speaker 1: everyone in your phone. It's like I'm about to h
Speaker 1: So my phone has sensed that I just had my
Speaker 1: first drink, and so everything that comes after this should
Speaker 1: be taken with a grain of salt.
Speaker 2: Thing. I've also locked all my bank accounts and preemptively
Speaker 2: filed for divorce with my white.
Speaker 3: I'm drinking on a plane is one of my favorite
Speaker 3: things to do. But I know how I get, I
Speaker 3: know how I get, Like, I mean, how much money
Speaker 3: do they make off it? They have to, like they
Speaker 3: have to do it.
Speaker 2: I mean they have to.
Speaker 3: They can't let they can't just be like people who
Speaker 3: like it like it so much, right, but like there's
Speaker 3: like there's like feces flying around the cabin, like everybody's
Speaker 3: choking the flight attendants, like you know, it just seems
Speaker 3: like at some point, like it's fodder for fucking Fox
Speaker 3: News because they're like, look, civilization has gone to hell,
Speaker 3: like you know, it's like and so they end up
Speaker 3: being using these videos all to prove that we need
Speaker 3: a dictator and uh, you know so like they said,
Speaker 3: just said lose lose, lose lose situation, like let's just
Speaker 3: stop selling alcohol on planes. I love this stance because
Speaker 3: there's no way anybody like would get behind them. Never never,
Speaker 3: I know, because like but how somebody's already fucking loaded
Speaker 3: up with Xanax and fucking Nike Wild yeh when they
Speaker 3: get on the plane anyway, So that's why their first
Speaker 3: drink hits them and they start screaming about nine to
Speaker 3: eleven or whatever they do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, steroids, I mean jack myself up on an
Speaker 2: anabolic stair. Yeah, you're already.
Speaker 3: People are already all again with and then they have
Speaker 3: a white wine and it seems like a harmless thing
Speaker 3: to do, but combined with the drug cocktail they've already
Speaker 3: adjested just to get through the flight, they they go
Speaker 3: immediately ape ship, try and murder everybody. And then so,
Speaker 3: I mean, then they go around the would you like
Speaker 3: a drink? You know? Yeah, like right next to the
Speaker 3: guy's strapped to the chair. Can I still get a drink?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I know you already looks stressed out, but I promise
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna go crazy.
Speaker 2: So I'll have just a double jack.
Speaker 1: A double, two doubles.
Speaker 2: I once asked for a double. The flight attendant, without
Speaker 2: skipping a beat, be goes, how about a single? And
Speaker 2: then hand it? All right? You can't fight with the
Speaker 2: flight attendant. After that, It's like, no, I need I
Speaker 2: need a double double?
Speaker 1: And could you pour it in my mouth so I
Speaker 1: don't have to untape my arm?
Speaker 2: Correct? Thank you? That's all I have, just something to
Speaker 2: look into.
Speaker 3: Let's look into it. Let's look into let's do some research.
Speaker 1: On it's all a plan to get a dictator. Yeah,
Speaker 1: look at how out of control all these people. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: what if they weren't allowed to drink? Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: well that let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and just blow through all those news stories. In
Speaker 1: six minutes, we'll be right back and we're back and Okay,
Speaker 1: guy installed eel aquarium in his rain cistern. I just
Speaker 1: something I don't even need to talk about this. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to bring it to your attention, Chris. It
Speaker 1: seems like a cool thing, like an underground eel cave
Speaker 1: that you can just like build into your house. I
Speaker 1: don't know if this jog's anything for you as a
Speaker 1: fan of weird underground shit on YouTube.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I'm just I'm just I've gotten so
Speaker 3: hooked on a couple of things now with just the
Speaker 3: mind exploration and the guy who finds the bottles that
Speaker 3: I I don't really I don't need any eels or
Speaker 3: anything like that, but I respect, like, you know, anybody
Speaker 3: who's uh going to the trouble and I don't. I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm not that kind of person.
Speaker 3: Myself. I'm the kind of person who has a clip
Speaker 3: light and you know, a milk crate and h and
Speaker 3: and you know in the YouTube and uh, that is
Speaker 3: my life, you know what I mean, like in maybe
Speaker 3: a banana, you know, on the counter. So there's not
Speaker 3: a lot happening like as far as like decoration or
Speaker 3: anything for me. So the idea of like putting an
Speaker 3: eel farm in my basement is like it just from
Speaker 3: a labor standpoint, I just think about it. Yeah, like
Speaker 3: I could be I could be watching television during that.
Speaker 1: Time that was a bit of a try hard whereas
Speaker 1: like the people who you kind of pay attention to
Speaker 1: are more people who have a shovel and notice that
Speaker 1: there's a little dip in a field and go and
Speaker 1: are like, yeah, people used to shit there and drop
Speaker 1: their bottles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I like to I like to watch them
Speaker 3: do it. I don't want to do it. I don't
Speaker 3: want to dig. I like to sit up, I asked.
Speaker 3: I like to write poems. They are one of the
Speaker 3: least you don't need to exert yourself. And yeah, I
Speaker 3: like those kinds of things. I like thinking. I like
Speaker 3: looking off into the middle distance. Yeah, like I don't
Speaker 3: really want to like fuck with eels, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. Like, and that's the problem is like when
Speaker 3: you have like a significant other, like like a woman
Speaker 3: who you know, might be interested in a man that
Speaker 3: did some stuff, you know, like I think that is
Speaker 3: a good idea. Like I think a woman, even if
Speaker 3: she didn't like the eels, might be like, well, this
Speaker 3: show's an initiative.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and guessing this is not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, look at this guy, this guy I just met.
Speaker 3: He has an eel farm in his basement. I mean
Speaker 3: that's not what I ever really wanted. But I've been
Speaker 3: divorced twice and you know, Flip Beckons and this guy,
Speaker 3: I mean, if he has enough money. If he has
Speaker 3: enough money, he has enough money to be raising a
Speaker 3: couple of gimps, and and he has this eel farm.
Speaker 3: So this guy, I mean, you know, he's a driver's
Speaker 3: ad instructor.
Speaker 1: So your read on this is this guy just built
Speaker 1: his underground SubTerrain Aian eel farm for the ladies.
Speaker 3: Yes, as like a way to show that he is motivated,
Speaker 3: or because he's insane and has sex with the eels
Speaker 3: in some way.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Yeah, there's always there's always the chance that
Speaker 1: this is like to him what the moths are to bust.
Speaker 3: Two reasons a man does anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're basically the same. They are the same
Speaker 1: reason that it turns out it's the same reason.
Speaker 3: Are you having sex with the eels or are you
Speaker 3: trying to obtain sex by having the heels?
Speaker 1: Yes? All right?
Speaker 3: Uh Polly hashtag obtained sex obtain Oh goduck?
Speaker 1: Should should we talk Polly and the biking?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So we've talked before about how a lot of Western
Speaker 1: European and American cities were essentially designed by cars. Like
Speaker 1: it's like a new species came along and was like,
Speaker 1: we're cars and we're just going to have you change
Speaker 1: everything to be as efficient for us to get from
Speaker 1: one place to another. But there have been a couple
Speaker 1: stories that have made us feel like maybe it's not
Speaker 1: too late to undo some of that damage. Usually those
Speaker 1: things are happening on the Western European side of that,
Speaker 1: not in the American side of that.
Speaker 2: I understand it rarely comes from here, it does not.
Speaker 1: On our side. We had like a couple months at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the pandemic where New York was like,
Speaker 1: we're just not going to have like cars around, We're
Speaker 1: going to like let people walk around a little bit.
Speaker 1: And we were like what if they left? And but
Speaker 1: before we could say what if we left, it like
Speaker 1: that like finished that sentence, they had already like let
Speaker 1: the cars back, and.
Speaker 2: All the birds killed themselves when the cars came back.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, there's nature, yes here, why is that?
Speaker 1: But so Paris is showing us like what this would
Speaker 1: look like. They have this very ambitious climate plan that
Speaker 1: includes transforming streets into zones reserved for pedestrians, bicycles, and
Speaker 1: public transport. Like these zones sound like Central Park a
Speaker 1: little bit like what if it was all just you know,
Speaker 1: I guess Central Park has like a couple roads that
Speaker 1: go through, but they're like usually closed and like very
Speaker 1: like there's like one car at a time going through
Speaker 1: it for the most part. And so this plan aims
Speaker 1: to have like thirty thousand parking stands, one thousand spaces
Speaker 1: reserved for cargo bikes, fifty two kilometers of provisional tracks,
Speaker 1: three hundred kilometers of bicycle tracks, one thousand kilometers of
Speaker 1: bike lanes. Just I don't know, it sounds cool to
Speaker 1: me like that that would be how your city is
Speaker 1: designed is just like a place where you could like
Speaker 1: walk around without being concerned that your child would be
Speaker 1: like pancaked by a fucking muscle car, you know, which
Speaker 1: is like twenty percent of my mind when I'm walking
Speaker 1: around with my kid is like, well, how do I
Speaker 1: ensure that they aren't they don't run into the street
Speaker 1: and get run over by a fucking car. And it's
Speaker 1: it's wild that, you know, we didn't have any saying
Speaker 1: that it was just like that used to not be
Speaker 1: the case, and then over the past seventy years they
Speaker 1: were just like, yeah, it's better for commerce, so we're
Speaker 1: gonna make it so you just have to keep your
Speaker 1: fucking head on a swivel at all times in order
Speaker 1: to get from place to place.
Speaker 2: And the consequences couldn't be fucking higher, by the way,
Speaker 2: if you if you screw up. And as an avid cyclist,
Speaker 2: I have the lower body of a hippopotamus. I am
Speaker 2: very pro bike. But I've known or I've seen that
Speaker 2: American cities will do something where they'll they'll claim that
Speaker 2: they're very bike friendly, but in that like, oh, we
Speaker 2: have so many bike lanes, but they're not protected bike lanes. Yes,
Speaker 2: so it's like, oh, no, we painted a green stripe
Speaker 2: on the street, so it's on the side of the highway,
Speaker 2: on the side of the highway, the other side of
Speaker 2: the highway. So yeah, which, yeah, with all all the
Speaker 2: you know, motorists will be like, oh shit, there's a
Speaker 2: green stripe on the ground that we no one sees,
Speaker 2: and yeah, I think that's the vernacular around it too
Speaker 2: can be often misleading when because there's nothing better than
Speaker 2: a protected bike lane and to your point, it'll get
Speaker 2: rid of less or it'll cause less emissions. People are
Speaker 2: also you're getting around and exercising, like you don't have
Speaker 2: to be going a thousand miles per hour. It's like, oh,
Speaker 2: like you get your heart right, you're removing your body
Speaker 2: around a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It's and it's kind.
Speaker 1: Of ten extra minutes to get where you're going, even
Speaker 1: if you're going like a cross town correct.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if that.
Speaker 1: Good for you, you'll feel better. It's such a better way
Speaker 1: to like have a civilization. And like this they built
Speaker 1: this ship and now more people commute to work in
Speaker 1: Paris like now as of now, like they they've been
Speaker 1: doing this for the past few years. It's like going
Speaker 1: to get more and more ambitious over the next five
Speaker 1: but as of now, like more people are commuting to
Speaker 1: work on bike than car. And like when they started this,
Speaker 1: that was like unheard of, Like they were like, well, no,
Speaker 1: like of course not that's you know, it's it was
Speaker 1: like an American city.
Speaker 3: Did you see the the just quickly that the Paris
Speaker 3: speaking of just not only are they walking or biking
Speaker 3: to work, but they twenty five percent. They just had
Speaker 3: a story in the New York Times, twenty five percent
Speaker 3: of Parisians live in public housing. Not not affordable housing,
Speaker 3: public housing, right, And that's what I ran on when
Speaker 3: I ran for city council. I ran for this affordable housing,
Speaker 3: this notion of affordable housing. It's not affordable anyway, you know,
Speaker 3: like what they're talking about is affordable for you know,
Speaker 3: if you're upper middle class or middle class, like I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't even know if there's such a thing as
Speaker 3: a middle class, but you know there's there's like affordable
Speaker 3: is like oh, fourteen hundred bucks for a one bedroom
Speaker 3: or something that's still out of the reach of most
Speaker 3: people who work in the service industry. And that's most
Speaker 3: was a lot of the certainly the artists who live here,
Speaker 3: and uh and just regular people work in the service industry.
Speaker 3: I mean that's the gig economies, the service industry. I mean,
Speaker 3: you can't make enough to pay fourteen hundred dollars a
Speaker 3: month rent doing that, no matter how many fucking door
Speaker 3: dashes you deliver, and so like you need sub and
Speaker 3: people are like, oh, what about if we don't want
Speaker 3: public housing? Look what happened to public housing? But that's
Speaker 3: just like what happened to public housing. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's like got some crime in it, but so does
Speaker 3: regular housing. And also those people still live in Nashville.
Speaker 3: Otherwise they wouldn't be here. They are in public housing,
Speaker 3: and that's why they're here. And uh So Paris unfortunately
Speaker 3: has like you know, hasn't been brainwashed like America into
Speaker 3: thinking like that the cars are in the constitution.
Speaker 2: You know, right, yeah, yeah, because.
Speaker 3: They've been around for one thousand, ten thousand years or whatever.
Speaker 3: We've been around for two hundred well, you know, in
Speaker 3: this current incarnation, a couple three hundred years, you know,
Speaker 3: and it seems like most of the time we've had cars.
Speaker 2: As far as I notice.
Speaker 1: Think, yeah, I think it would work, Like I really
Speaker 1: think we could just like if it just kept trying
Speaker 1: at cities in cities around the US, like just this
Speaker 1: is so, this is being done in cities around Europe
Speaker 1: and like this mayor who has instituted this, like it's
Speaker 1: a major part of her platform and she's so popular
Speaker 1: that she's running for president now, like she's like it's
Speaker 1: been done in London, Milan, Barcelona, and those candidates have
Speaker 1: also gotten like huge marks. It's just like an easy
Speaker 1: way to I mean, I guess not easy in the US,
Speaker 1: but it is like a guaranteed winner if you just
Speaker 1: do it in your city, like because people want like walkable,
Speaker 1: livable cities where you don't have to worry about like
Speaker 1: just you know, taking a step in the wrong direction
Speaker 1: and being killed. Like but we can't, like in the US,
Speaker 1: like we can't do anything about it because we're like
Speaker 1: captive to I don't know, fucking chambers of commerce.
Speaker 3: Bruce Bringsteen's songs about barefoot girls on the hood of
Speaker 3: a Dodge, Yeah, yeah, exactly, you know which, I love
Speaker 3: that song. But you know this, we're we're just brought
Speaker 3: up to think cars are as American, as as as
Speaker 3: apple pie and fucking freedom, and I mean you're not
Speaker 3: gonna take You're not gonna take my car is the same.
Speaker 3: You'll get the same resistance, Like you're trying to take
Speaker 3: a gun.
Speaker 2: Well, I keep my gun in my car. Cars, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you can't take my cars? Has got my gun in
Speaker 2: my guns are?
Speaker 1: Well? Okay, so why don't you show me what my
Speaker 1: gun rack looks like on the back of that ten speed.
Speaker 3: It's it's in veryous saved in my car.
Speaker 2: It's in my car and very.
Speaker 1: The only walkable city I'm comfortable with is the walking
Speaker 1: Dead walk.
Speaker 2: Cars in general.
Speaker 3: Let's just like, cars in general were a terrible idea.
Speaker 1: Like the whole idea.
Speaker 3: It was a bad idea. It's just that nobody everybody
Speaker 3: likes them and that's the problem.
Speaker 1: So they just like them.
Speaker 3: So that's the you know, but really big picture, cars
Speaker 3: were a terrible idea. And I'm gonna say one thing
Speaker 3: real quick because I know we're running out of time,
Speaker 3: But I want to say, there's this documentary called My
Speaker 3: Architect on.
Speaker 2: Criteria promoted human again, like you forgot that you ever
Speaker 2: talked about or.
Speaker 1: Didn't I.
Speaker 3: Would be the greatest episode ever. But I said that,
Speaker 3: also want to interject humans don't I don't know the
Speaker 3: name of it. Go to YouTube, put in HUMANSI there's
Speaker 3: probably a bunch of stuff that comes up.
Speaker 2: I can't remember it, says CI on it. I don't
Speaker 2: know what channel that was, but a sci fi maybe,
Speaker 2: s c I do we talk about this?
Speaker 3: I'm fifty five, thank you. So I just wanted to
Speaker 3: say that there's this this documentary called My Architect, and
Speaker 3: it's about this architect named Louis Kahan. But it's about
Speaker 3: his son who didn't know him because his dad had
Speaker 3: three different families that didn't know about each other. And
Speaker 3: his dad was five ft six into, severely burnt as
Speaker 3: a child in Estonia, and he came to him America
Speaker 3: and became this He didn't hit his stride as an
Speaker 3: artist until he was fifty one, which I like, and
Speaker 3: I'm already kicking his ass.
Speaker 2: So he.
Speaker 3: Designed these buildings, he designed the capital of Bangladesh, and anyway,
Speaker 3: he was a terrible dad. But it's this beautiful documentary
Speaker 3: about Nathaniel Khan. But Khan is not his real name.
Speaker 3: Is he changed He was Jewish. He changed his name
Speaker 3: in the early his father changed his name in the
Speaker 3: twenties or something. But anyway, Louis Khan is the architect anyway,
Speaker 3: his idea for Philadelphia, and that's why I thought of it.
Speaker 3: He lived grew up in Philadelphia after he came from Estonia,
Speaker 3: and he wanted to He was one of the architects
Speaker 3: that he had a huge proposal for downtown Philadelphia and
Speaker 3: it was to have cars all left outside the city.
Speaker 3: And this is in and he was laughed out of
Speaker 3: town and everybody said, oh, you know these William F.
Speaker 3: Buckley types.
Speaker 2: And one of whom's in.
Speaker 3: The documentary is still angry about it. He's like, he
Speaker 3: wanted to leave the cars outside of town. The fucking idiot,
Speaker 3: you know, like we have the cars in town in
Speaker 3: this country, you know what I mean. So I don't
Speaker 3: know who this fucking guy thinks he is. But anyway,
Speaker 3: and it was just so interesting because he was right.
Speaker 3: The idea was that there would be these giant car
Speaker 3: parks or like you know, like a car garage just
Speaker 3: that we're also kind of beautiful that he built all
Speaker 3: around the city. Everybody would walk from them into the city,
Speaker 3: so there would do you know, cars, it's.
Speaker 1: Just waiting there for some somebody to put it together
Speaker 1: and become incredibly popular, but it's it's just wild that
Speaker 1: like that that would be so popular with young people,
Speaker 1: it'd be popular with with the elderly who like can't
Speaker 1: really drive at this point. But it's like that mainstream
Speaker 1: money making commerce, you know, albatross like it. There's gotta
Speaker 1: be a like if one city pulls it off, like
Speaker 1: it will become such a like tourist hotspot. Like I
Speaker 1: would just like go there all the time just to
Speaker 1: like experience a city without carts. That would be fucking wonderful.
Speaker 2: They've been to the Grove.
Speaker 1: The Grove is the best example, the closest we have
Speaker 1: to this in the US.
Speaker 2: It's incredible.
Speaker 3: And they have like an Eiffel tower that shoots sparks
Speaker 3: out of it and stuff. Yeah, Grove stunning, stunning.

Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: If you want to feel like you can solve complex
Speaker 7: math equations in your head with the same these it
Speaker 7: takes to sit back and listen to a chill piece
Speaker 7: of music, then boy, do I have a song for you.
Speaker 7: It's called Already There by Taylor McFerrin. It's the son
Speaker 7: of legendary musician Bobby McFerrin of Don't Worry, Be Happy, Fame,
Speaker 7: Robert Glasper and Thundercat. If you know anything about the
Speaker 7: last two, they get pretty jazzy and technical and complex,
Speaker 7: but the best parts of this song are when they
Speaker 7: just like vibe out and get really smooth with it.
Speaker 7: You could picture like a chill professor hitting the blunt
Speaker 7: and drawing out some organic molecules or something on a chalkboard.
Speaker 3: And so, yeah, this song.
