I don't think you 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:06.360 let it go that far. You should try for a year. 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.360 It's just it just gets more and more pubic hairy. 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:10.559 Yeah. 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:15.039 Well, anyway, you know, it's good to be back.

We all got RSV. Yeah, 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:34.839 my wife's brother came just sick as could be, got 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.319 all of us infected immediately, and then they left, and 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.520 then we had like two weeks alone of just snodding 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.360 and coughing. Just lovely. Just your head feels like it's 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.480 gonna explode every night when you're trying to lay down 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:52.000 kids screaming. Just a magical time of year. No, I 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.360 did have a good time. You know what. I want 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.720 to say, This what I think I now because of 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.040 this show, Believe it or not. I just love Christmas 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.720 so much because every time I opened a gift that 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.240 someone gave me, I was just so excited. I was like, oh, 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.440 I'm giving this away. Yeah, there he is, And I 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.799 was just watching people fume. Now, I'd like to read 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:17.000 a text from my father. He sent me this. What 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.720 does it say? Back in August. By the way, as 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:27.160 we close in on our octogenarianism, they're turning eighty octogenarianism, 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.639 we have decided to shut down birthday and Christmas gifting. 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.359 We are quite out of step of what is in 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.200 or even appropriate anymore. A well wished text will assure 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.560 each of our family members of our never waning love 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.840 and concern. But this does not preclude my purchase of 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:52.639 a model car for my grandson that somehow catches my eye. Okay, 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:58.760 so Scrooge McDuck there says no more gift giving, doesn't 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.399 want to receive anything, doesn't want to give anything. Now 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.920 I I you know, I didn't let that go. I 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:10.040 reach out to them, Hey, what's going on? Grnches, and 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.400 my mom flat out says it. She goes, I watch 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.760 you give away stuff on the show. You just make 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:20.320 fun of everybody that gives you something. You don't need anything, 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:22.600 so we're not giving you anything. 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.480 I kind of like it. 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.000 I like her. Well, I love it. Yeah, I love 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.880 it because it finally worked. The whole point of this 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:37.560 stop giving me things? It worked. Speaking of gifts, my 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:43.160 alma mater, UCF Central Florida Knights in Orlando, Florida, they 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:51.000 get football great Scott Frost. Last time he was the 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.800 coach of the UCF Knights, they were undefeated and now 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.360 then he went on to his alma materate at Nebraska 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.720 and just laid a big turd. 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:00.000 Four years of it. 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.600 I have to admit I said a lot of nasty 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.880 things about when he left. I was like, stay, You've 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.080 got things cooking at a school that'll give you everything, 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.600 And you know He's like, no, I gotta go. This 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.480 is my destiny. I was a quarterback here, you know, 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.480 in the eighties when Nebraska mattered late nineties, all right 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:28.800 nineties whenever. Now am I worried that Scott Frost, who 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:35.560 is given this second chance, this opportunity to redeem his 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:44.560 deplorable behavior, to coach this powerhouse football program, is gonna 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:50.040 leave again? I am, I am, and I understand that. Listen. 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.640 When I went to UCF, I graduated a semester early. 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:58.159 Why because I wanted to get out of there. I 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.520 can relate. I just don't want it to have I 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:04.600 want you to stay there, do us proud and win 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:10.159 it all. Anyway, Ah, any resolutions this year, Nope. I 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.880 wasn't positive of what compilation garbage John was gonna pump 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.159 out during the break, But I saw that we did 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:25.160 the the the poop story montage. Well, let me tell 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.040 you something, you know, I say every year my New 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:35.760 Year's resolution is not poop myself. I didn't make it. 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:37.880 I mean it was so early in the year. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:41.039 So early. Here's what happened. I'm in Tahoe. I go 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:46.279 to my favorite cakeriy Okay, it's not called a bakery, Pete, 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:47.200 it's called a cakey. 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.080 It's his favorite one, Pete, my. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:54.640 Favorite cakereach at Sugar Pine. Allison is the owner and 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:59.040 her husband Brett. I believe they're both. They're both wonderful people. 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.640 I go in there and they've got so many good things. 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.000 They got a banana cinnamon bread that I love. Always 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.520 get a slice of that. Their cookies look perfect, so 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:09.159 I always have to grab a couple of those. And 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.800 this is breakfast. You know, I'm getting the biscuit, sandwich, 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:16.560 I'm getting the eggs. But this day I decide, well 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:20.000 I'll get a hot chocolate as well along with all those. Also, 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.000 I had a donut and it doesn't Guys, it's a 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:23.560 cake ry. 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:25.200 You got a problem. 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.880 That's not a problem. It's called breakfast. And when you're 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.600 in the mountains, you need a lot to survive. 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:30.440 Fuel up. 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.880 Well, we always we always get the breakfast, and then 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:38.719 we park at this little park around the bend and 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.640 you take a hike through the woods. There's a little 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.200 nome door. My son loves to open it up. He 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.120 brings a toy every time and leaves it. You're supposed 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.120 to take a toy, leave a toy. We just give 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.960 a toy every time. Some kids just leave rocks in there. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.000 That's that's bullshit. And then they take my kid's good 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.440 toy that he leaves. But whatever. We say hi to 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.680 the gnomes and then there's a picnic on the lake 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.040 and we eat, we eat our breakfast. It's just magical. 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.160 It's just a routine. Well, anyway, halfway through this walk, 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.960 let me say something else. When I'm holding my daughter, 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.480 her knee is going into my stomach, and if my 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:18.120 stomach is remotely suspect at the time that it's just 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:22.440 putting pressure for me to get everything out. Yeah, you understand. 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:22.920 Sure. 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.880 This walk is maybe three quarters of a mile, about 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.119 one hundred yards in. I tell my wife how great 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.720 is this? I said something to the effect of what 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.400 a wonderful morning, And then I said, hey, oh, I 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.000 don't know if I can do this, and she's like, 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.080 what I got? Yeah, I gotta go back. She's like, 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:41.680 where are you going? I go? I don't know. So 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.720 I just took my daughter and I start walking back. 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.000 I go, you guys, go to the nome door. Let 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:48.679 my son put his toy in there so it doesn't 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.400 freak out, and then just hurry back. Well, anyway they're going, 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:57.160 I make it maybe twenty five steps the other direction, 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.440 and I'm like, oh, no, it's here. I start yelling 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.720 for my wife to come back. She's not. I start 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.000 walking into the woods a little deeper. There's snow, you know, 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.760 a foot or two on the ground. I set my 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.840 daughter down, stand her up. She immediately falls, starts screaming. 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.800 Can't deal with that. Now, pull my pants down and 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:22.040 go the bathroom. And it's like molten lava through the snow. 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.040 It fires through the snow. My wife. I see my 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:28.040 wife coming back, and she because she's just following the 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.280 sounds of her screaming daughter, who's sitting in the snow. 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.080 She's not she's not hurt. There's just sitting there watching 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.720 her dad. Uh, you know, in the bathroom and anyway. 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:38.520 Self into the woods. 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:42.679 She sees me. She's mortified. She picks up my little 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.920 angel and I'm like, oh, and then I use snow 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.600 to wipe. By the way, great wiper, m great white. 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.679 You can you can it's it's easy anyway, we go back, 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.239 we get back in the car. I'm like, sorry about that, guys. 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:56.640 Hey, everybody, sorry about it. 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.840 Now, here's the thing. Did I actually break my resolution? 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.840 I say no? And here's why. If a man is 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.719 walking through the woods and says to his wife, oh 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.840 my goodness, honey, I need to pee, and then walks 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.160 into the woods and peas and comes back, nobody's like, 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:19.280 oh my goodness, can you believe what he did? So 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.680 I did the same thing, but mine was the other 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.880 Mine was violent diarrhea. And my wife's like, yeah, But 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:30.120 the difference is if you told that person they can't pee, 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:35.600 they wouldn't just start peeing all over themselves. And I'm like, oh, okay, 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.720 maybe I accept that as the difference. When I got 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.200 back to the car, I was like, well, I might 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.760 as well just do a courtesy wipe with one of 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:47.640 my kid's wet wipes, you know, from their little diaper bag. 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.840 And as I did that, I looked up and there 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:55.000 were two people walking toward my car from the trail 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.280 that might have just seen me put my hands down 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:02.360 my pants and wipe, but I'm not sure they did. 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.360 I'm not sure if you're out there and you saw that. 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:07.800 In my apologies, I didn't even look before I went 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:12.120 for the extra you know, clean white. They wouldn't recognize me. 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.679 I got, you know, I got my beard. I tell 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.360 you what I should do if I shave this and 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.560 then just this bottom part. I look like one of 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.600 those guys that hates America. But that's not true. I 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:27.439 love this country. Okay, and so does my guest today. 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:36.480 Enjoy Pasha, my guest today, is a political speech writer 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.439 whose words have either moved you or made you say, 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:40.360 fuck that shit. 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.800 It really is a country of widely different opinions. She 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:48.440 can spend boring zoning ordinance issues into poetry about the 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:52.880 battle for America's soul. And if you thought the ineffective 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.000 speech is that the Democratic National Convention went on too long, 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.600 you can blame her for it. That said, please welcome Amber, 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.600 thank you very much. Are you old enough? 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:07.520 But things are? They have been better? I would say, 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:08.280 I mean. 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:13.600 Anger, furious, where are you this time around? 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:18.880 Resigned like we knew, we knew this was a possibility. 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:23.520 I was not as heartbroken and shocked I mean heartbroken, yes, 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.720 but not as shocked or unprepared as as twenty sixteen. 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:32.000 Of course, when I hear people say insiders tell me, 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.120 oh that we knew all along that she couldn't win, 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.760 I get so enraged. I'm like, well, you know what 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.520 would have been nice for the American economy? I told 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.160 tip us off on that and save us all a 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:47.880 billion dollars of donations. 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.120 I mean, I think that's such a it's so easy 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:55.240 to just be like h DC consultants insiders like it's 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.680 not a person. There are many different people in DC 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.319 with various opinion. Of course, some people thought she couldn't win. 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.079 Many people thought she could win. This is one of 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:06.920 those things where if if she had won, we would 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.480 have all said obviously, obviously she would have won. 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.520 It's such a it was such a slam dunk. 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:16.440 I mean, I just go. I see myself, listen, I 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:21.120 had Obama. That was in my lifetime. I'm thankful for it. 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.520 I was at a good age for it. Move me. 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.800 I don't think I'm ever gonna let myself get followed, 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.360 my pass vested. It's just it's just too much for 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.480 my soul. I can't handle it. 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.440 I feel like, maybe, like Rock, the vote kind of 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.080 broke us all and made us feel like voting was 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:44.439 this like magical identity thing, and what it actually is is, 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.080 as AOC says, like a chess move. We are we 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.560 are trying to move things forward. We are doing our best. 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.880 You know, we push We've gotten a lot of really 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.600 important things done. Obama got things done, Joe Biden got 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:00.199 a lot of really important things done. And now we're 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:01.840 going to get pushed back. And you just have to 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.559 keep You just have to keep going.

I can't write a 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.960 speech about I'm very pro choice.

It probably was 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:30.280 talk about what your childhood was like. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:32.000 There's like different phases. 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:36.720 So I I remember my first memories were we lived 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.240 on a commune in Indiana with like a farm, a 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:41.000 working farm. 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:42.120 How many people is this? 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.680 I mean the cult itself was international. 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:45.880 I don't want to have a brag, but it was 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:47.440 like the second largest cult for a while. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:52.000 Oh I know, I know what was what was number one? Scientology? 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:53.480 Yeah? 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.800 Yeah, yes, I think yeah, all right, I could be wrong. No, 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:57.440 I think that's right. 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.200 You know, we were what you might call it. What's 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.040 what's one where you can't dance or you burn in hell? 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:02.480 No? 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.000 What was the movie footlooset? We were footloose? Okay, that 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:07.240 was all world? Okay, go on. 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:09.159 We lived on a commune. I don't know. 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.320 Maybe I'm too young to remember how people are there. 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:13.680 But two hundred I don't. 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.639 Know, not thousands, but no, no, no, got it. 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:19.560 And it was an old like a convent.

Just creepy, 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.320 super creepy, and we had like dorms and so we 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.840 lived in like a dorm, which I think I think 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.119 the weirdest part that I just learned recently, like in 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.280 the last month, that my parents would work on the 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:33.760 farm during the day and then they would go to 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.320 Bible class at night for like hours, And I was like, 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.000 what did you do with me the baby? And they're like, oh, 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:40.840 we just left you in the room, and like somebody 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:42.560 would walk up and down the hallways just to make 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:43.720 sure all the babies were okay. 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.520 You left babies alone. 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:48.440 Anyway, it was a different time. 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:49.239 It was. 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.520 It was the eighties.
