Speaker 3: I'll let you just appreciate. I that was beer can
Speaker 3: or bacon beer can? It's beer can?
Speaker 1: Is that a real? That is like such a that
Speaker 1: feels like such an industry fucking day.

Speaker 3: the makers of aluminum cans for our favorite beers.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, God, I was gonna say bacon Appreciation days like
Speaker 1: they have won for every month. It feels like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly exactly, shout out to beer cans. Yeah, that's very something.
Speaker 2: Our guests would probably know because there was poll tab,
Speaker 2: there was cone top, there was stay tab. You know,
Speaker 2: as you go, I know everything about beer cans.
Speaker 1: I feel like our guests might have had a beer
Speaker 1: can collection at some point as a as a youngster.
Speaker 2: Maybe I did. And I can tell you anything you
Speaker 2: want to know about.
Speaker 1: Beer Canser, Well, what's the way?
Speaker 2: What's a cone top? Cone top is the thing they
Speaker 2: did in the twenties and thirties where I don't know
Speaker 2: why they did that, but they made the can into
Speaker 2: like a fake bottle wept by just like putting a
Speaker 2: spout on it. Those things are worth a lot of money,
Speaker 2: unless you ask my grandfather, in which case he said
Speaker 2: to whom, like who are they worth money to? Because
Speaker 2: I was always like, look, Grandpa, I got this old
Speaker 2: can and it's worth a zillion dollars, and he was like,
Speaker 2: who cares to who? To whom he had a point.
Speaker 2: He had a very good point, because I have all
Speaker 2: those cans now in the basement. What's left in But yeah,
Speaker 2: I can tell you about khone tops and flat tops
Speaker 2: flattops and they use the church key. And then then
Speaker 2: we moved on to pull tabs, and now we're on fu. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what are those things?
Speaker 1: Yeah, State Tab nineteen seventy five. There's like a whole
Speaker 1: timeline up here.
Speaker 2: I'm not getting Like in fifth grade. I was in
Speaker 2: fifth grade in nineteen seventy fuck, I don't know, eight
Speaker 2: or something, and that was like everybody collected beer cans.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy kids collecting beer cans.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, gotta catch the gotta have them
Speaker 1: all like Stanley quenchers.
Speaker 2: But it's not right for kids to collect beer cans.
Speaker 1: They did that too, like for a long time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was that was the thing.
Speaker 2: They were supposed to be validly at a price book.
Speaker 2: What do you mean like you were cruising for rare
Speaker 2: beer cans as kids, Jack.
Speaker 1: I just remember like my friends having beer can collections
Speaker 1: in their bedrooms, usually my friends who had a water bed.
Speaker 3: Oh, like maybe it would just be like family trash
Speaker 3: to be like, look, beer can it up there kind
Speaker 3: of thing.
Speaker 2: Well, no, you could go to a show. It was
Speaker 2: like a I went to a show like uh at
Speaker 2: Nights of Columbus, like forty five minutes away from my house,
Speaker 2: actually the same town where my mom looked at that
Speaker 2: drum set that she rejected. Yeah, it's walling for Connecticut,
Speaker 2: Walling for Connecticut to bring up those memories. Man, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but I went to this beer can show and then
Speaker 2: it's like you're hanging around with grown men who are
Speaker 2: obsessed with beer cans or even worse than kids who
Speaker 2: because a least kids don't know any better, right, right, right,
Speaker 2: But the adults are selling beer cans to children, you know,
Speaker 2: being like this is worth a lot of money, you know,
Speaker 2: and I'm buying a bunch of It's just as.
Speaker 1: War comes all the way from Colorado.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they make jokes about that. But you
Speaker 2: can't be drinking those, not yet, but as soon as
Speaker 2: you're able to, you should start drinking. I'm like crazy, No,
Speaker 2: it tastes like shit, by the way. Yeah, but it's
Speaker 2: like my plumber or whatever or whatever this guy was
Speaker 2: who came into our he was I think he was
Speaker 2: renovating our house or something like one of the few
Speaker 2: times my silly family had like a worker. Like that
Speaker 2: was the kind of town I grew up in where
Speaker 2: if you had a worker in your house, you felt
Speaker 2: like you were a part of the crowd, you know,
Speaker 2: because everybody always had work being done to their house
Speaker 2: because they're a rich So we had this worker and
Speaker 2: I just remember he told me that whiskey puts hair
Speaker 2: on your chest. And I just wonder what motivates a
Speaker 2: grown person to say that's like a ten year old.
Speaker 3: It's someone who's trying to invite you into the league
Speaker 3: of extraordinary binge drinkers.
Speaker 2: Probably right, It's just like he was just drunk, like yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean whenever you hear that'll put hair like, it's
Speaker 3: never like you know, like a way you're like, oh thanks,
Speaker 3: it's always like danger is.
Speaker 2: Like you better watch out that hot sauce that will
Speaker 2: put hair you chest. You would take whiskey, they'll put
Speaker 2: hair or your chest exactly, But you better if you're
Speaker 2: a parent, you better say some interesting stuff to your kids,
Speaker 2: because I don't remember anything from my childhood except for
Speaker 2: that guy. It's like it was the only thing I
Speaker 2: remember from my childhood is that man telling me that
Speaker 2: what's your chest hair count? Right now? Oh it's out
Speaker 2: of control? Okay, well that must I drank so much
Speaker 2: I got hair on my shoulders. And like somebody like.
Speaker 1: A child that is something like drinking something will put
Speaker 1: hair on their chest.
Speaker 2: Is like a body horror.
Speaker 1: Situation kind of it's like really.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but also was nineteen seventy eight, so this guy
Speaker 2: was actually trying to get me laid. You know right,
Speaker 2: that's right, even get if you're lucky. Yeah, I opened up.
Speaker 2: You'll get some hair on your shoulders.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got my little crucy, got to let my
Speaker 3: little Saint Christopher medallion and gold dangling amongst my chest weeds.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I wish my shoulders would come in more, but they
Speaker 2: have got a condition, your shoulder hair. That's the number one.
Speaker 2: So he probably was trying to do me a favor.
Speaker 2: But I also think he probably was kind of drunk,
Speaker 2: because when you're drunk, you want to tell somebody.
Speaker 1: Of course, yeah, yeah, get them in on the club.
Speaker 1: But it's all winks.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: You're never like, hey, I'm pissed kid. It's more like, hey,
Speaker 3: put hair.
Speaker 2: You want to know how to have fun while you're
Speaker 2: fucking fixing a window frame? Yeah, he's like, hey, you
Speaker 2: want to shoot the nail gun with me? Yeah? You think?
Speaker 2: Do you think fixing a window frames boring? I got
Speaker 2: I got a little secret for you, drunk off my
Speaker 2: fucking face, bro.

Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, I broke my scapula Thursday. I got
Speaker 2: an email from or No. I sent an email saying, hey,
Speaker 2: I would like to go back on the Daily Zeitgeist
Speaker 2: didn't and I got an email back that said, hey,
Speaker 2: we were thinking about it on Tuesday, and I said,
Speaker 2: sure Wednesday, Today's Wednesday. I guess in the podcast world,
Speaker 2: but a little podcast ruin ruin everything. I've ruined everything.
Speaker 2: So anyway, when I fun email when to start the
Speaker 2: whole show over? When? When the When I sent that email,
Speaker 2: I did not have a broken scapula. I had never
Speaker 2: even heard of a scapula. And then when I when
Speaker 2: I got when, I confirmed, yeah, sure I'll do it.
Speaker 2: Tuesday I was on like, you know, morphine. But I
Speaker 2: figured by Tuesday i'd be all right. But I broke
Speaker 2: my scapula Thursday afternoon, fuck ma, and I broke my
Speaker 2: rib and uh So Nashville has been like this ice
Speaker 2: skating rink for a week and now it just went
Speaker 2: away because it just got finally went up to like
Speaker 2: forty or fifty or whatever, right, and so all this
Speaker 2: stuff melted. But for a week, I guess Nashville has
Speaker 2: like a couple snowblouse I mean, yeah, you mean literally
Speaker 2: like two. They have a few I guess, but it
Speaker 2: was not cool. It was like everybody was falling down.
Speaker 2: My neighborhood was like a fucking circus. Like it was
Speaker 2: like the whole the street was an ice sheet for
Speaker 2: a week. So people were trying to go to work
Speaker 2: and have to turn back. My neighbor a guy, a
Speaker 2: drunk guy, came down our street. Like, first of all,
Speaker 2: our street, it's got no sidewalks or anything. So like
Speaker 2: if you go off the street, you're in the lawn,
Speaker 2: and so and so. This my neighbor is like. I
Speaker 2: was asleep because it was after I broke my scapula,
Speaker 2: so I was in bed. But I woke up. My
Speaker 2: roommate was like, that's right, I said, roommate, my roommate,
Speaker 2: your buddy, my buddy. Yeah. My wife, my mother, my
Speaker 2: beautiful wife was doing animation on the new Fast and
Speaker 2: Furious movie in the living room of my well appointed
Speaker 2: Silver Lake Fast and Furious. Whatever. She pays the bills. Asleep,
Speaker 2: I was asleep. She pays the bills. I live right
Speaker 2: next to the Silver Lakes. Got this note from Vin Diesel.
Speaker 2: I'm friends with Jimmy Kimmel. It's unbelievable. So me and
Speaker 2: Jimmy Gimmo were taking a nap in the same bed,
Speaker 2: and my wife was animating Fast and Furious twelve or
Speaker 2: whatever it is. Yeah, and uh no, okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go back to what's really happening. My roommate said that
Speaker 2: the next door neighbors, He's like, did you see what happened?
Speaker 2: And I was like, no, I was in there, and
Speaker 2: he said, oh my god, this car came down the street,
Speaker 2: lost control and went into my neighbor's yard. They it
Speaker 2: slid on the ice and landed in their yard.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 2: And then it was a drunk person too, even though
Speaker 2: it was the middle of the day. And yeah, because
Speaker 2: I always think drinking is a nighttime thing, but not
Speaker 2: for this guy. And so then while he was trying
Speaker 2: to get out of the yard, which he also couldn't
Speaker 2: get out of because it was ice too, and it's
Speaker 2: down in a gully like our streets on kind of
Speaker 2: a hill, and like it's it's just a very you know,
Speaker 2: this was not an ideal piece of land for houses
Speaker 2: when they put them in here. So the so this car,
Speaker 2: this car like smashing into the people who lives there.
Speaker 2: He's trying to back up and stuff and he smashed
Speaker 2: into their car. And then they eventually had went out
Speaker 2: there and take his keys away from him, and then
Speaker 2: they give him a blanket because it was so cold,
Speaker 2: and they gave him some water, and then they then
Speaker 2: the police came, and I guess I didn't see the police,
Speaker 2: but they he said the police were very mean to
Speaker 2: the guy who he didn't speak English. So you know, anyway,
Speaker 2: Nashville is like needs more snowplows on the double. So
Speaker 2: if anybody out there in Delley's Guy's world has an
Speaker 2: extra snowplow, you might want to call up the city
Speaker 2: city Hall.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 2: How's your how's your scapula? That's what I'm I mean.
Speaker 2: The thing is, I've broken so many fucking bones that
Speaker 2: it's really just embarrassing. Like I was more embarrassed the
Speaker 2: hit the ground than anything else because I heard or
Speaker 2: I hit the ground, I hit the steps, but I
Speaker 2: heard things crack, so I knew it's something yeahs, you know,
Speaker 2: And it's just like I haven't broken that much stuff.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah I have, but I haven't. I mean,
Speaker 2: I broke my hip in twenty eighteen, you know, roller skating,
Speaker 2: you know, and everybody thinks that's funny. But you know,
Speaker 2: it's not funny. It's funny. It's funny. That's LA's fault.
Speaker 2: That's because people in l A. Grown people go roller
Speaker 2: skating because they're reliving their childhood that they didn't get
Speaker 2: to have in Wisconsin because they're mean dentist, father never
Speaker 2: talked to them or whatever. Right, so they moved out
Speaker 2: to La roller skating. We're crazy clothes now, even though
Speaker 2: I'm forty. So then how high these socks are? Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 2: at least crazy socks. I got them on the internet,
Speaker 2: you know, and.
Speaker 1: Uh, the film on there.
Speaker 2: So I broke Yeah, so I wrote, I'm doing a
Speaker 2: yetti fuck film. We're pitching it to adult Swim. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be called yetty fuck film, but we're gonna censor
Speaker 2: put stars instead of the fuck. You know, it's gonna
Speaker 2: be f and then three stars. Yeah, and yeah, I
Speaker 2: know somebody an adult swim. He's like a lower down guy.
Speaker 2: But I know the guy put the roof on adult swims. Uh,
Speaker 2: he replaced the roof and he talked to one of
Speaker 2: the guys there.
Speaker 1: So didn't they switch buildings though?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he still got the guy's number. Yeah. Well
Speaker 2: he also yeah, he's just like in the loop, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Yeah, he's got the guy's number.
Speaker 2: I don't know how it's gonna work, but it's pretty
Speaker 2: much all set. Yeah I hear that. Yeah, it's all set.
Speaker 2: So I fucking I don't even know what I'm talking
Speaker 2: about it anymore. But it was like my roommate said,
Speaker 2: the day had happened. My roommate's car got stuck in
Speaker 2: the middle of the road and it was stuck, and
Speaker 2: he came running in and he said, oh my god,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, oh my god, car stuck in the
Speaker 2: middle of the road, and somebody has come over the hill,
Speaker 2: as we live over a hill, and he's like, somebody's
Speaker 2: run to my car. And I was like, oh fuck, yeah,
Speaker 2: I love jobs, you know what I mean? Yeah, And
Speaker 2: I like helping. It's a wash standing barefoot in the
Speaker 2: kitchen eating a cold case of DIA, and I put
Speaker 2: all my sneakers and he said, the stairs are slippery.
Speaker 2: But that was the only thing I hold against him,
Speaker 2: because the stairs were not slippery. They were impassable, unusable.
Speaker 2: Each one was a solid fucking piece of ice. So
Speaker 2: I went outside and happily put my foot on the
Speaker 2: top step and immediately flew ended in the air. I realized,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I am fifty four years old and hovering. Oh,
Speaker 2: I said, a concrete fucking steps, and I am like fucked.
Speaker 2: And so one step broke my rib and the other
Speaker 2: step broke my scapula, which is the piece on the
Speaker 2: back of your shoulder, the wing. And you know, I
Speaker 2: didn't even feel the shoulder thing because the rib hurts
Speaker 2: so much, so I my only thing was I actually
Speaker 2: thought I probably broke my back. So when I stood up,
Speaker 2: I was happy. Yeah, you're like, it's a miracle. It
Speaker 2: was really lucky I hadn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds like it could have been worse. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it felt like.
Speaker 2: The mundane way. I mean, you know, the no one
Speaker 2: plans on getting paralyzed or I mean, it's like that's
Speaker 2: what it felt like. It felt like, oh, fuck, this
Speaker 2: is really dangerous. Like when I was when I was
Speaker 2: in the middle of slipping, I was like, oh, my
Speaker 2: fucking god.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like, credit to you, man, I'm glad
Speaker 3: you're doing well. And also I'm glad you know you
Speaker 3: listen to our email where you said get the fuck
Speaker 3: over it.
Speaker 2: You said you'd wanted to. We're doing this show. You
Speaker 2: want the time, the big time, You're gonna slip big time.
Speaker 2: This is Hollywood. Yeah, I thought you were a professional.
Speaker 2: We we'll never talk to you again if you don't
Speaker 2: get on this zoom.
Speaker 1: What do you mean something's broken? Like, I get I
Speaker 1: believe you, but like, why are you telling me that?
Speaker 2: What does that have to do with me anything? Tell
Speaker 2: it to your personal assistant you back? Oh man, So
Speaker 2: I have a go fund me anyway, if anybody I
Speaker 2: already made the I made the goal though, and and
Speaker 2: people from Daily zeit Geist and you guys whoever's in
Speaker 2: charge of your social media retweeted my gofund me. So
Speaker 2: I'm very grateful as usual to the Daily zeit Gu's
Speaker 2: community because you know, they've just been a huge part
Speaker 2: of my life in the last three four years. So
Speaker 2: that gang Yeazing.
Speaker 1: Canceled my health insurance because I feel like I.
Speaker 2: Can just like reach out to them. Good idea. That's
Speaker 2: a good idea. Yeah, that's probably the best idea you've
Speaker 2: ever heard. I'm sure your wife is an animator for
Speaker 2: one of the major movies. Yeah, well her work on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's a stunt coordinator for the New Avengers flick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know Hollywood works. Kevin what's his name? Five?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he gives he gives us good health insurance. Chris,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, a couple of things that we
Speaker 1: would be talking about today if we ever got to them.
Speaker 1: But a lot of times already Trump jazz is getting
Speaker 1: more jazzy, AKA, he might be showing the signs of
Speaker 1: cognitive decline. And we're just curious to check in where
Speaker 1: where are we at with us?
Speaker 2: Are we good?
Speaker 1: Like we talked about how he kept confusing Nikki Haley
Speaker 1: and Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 2: On I think yesterday's episode, but it just seems like
Speaker 2: it's worse, getting more like this Lurry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And we'll check out with these Stanley quenchers.
Speaker 1: I think, I really I want to hear what Chris
Speaker 1: has to say about the Stanley quntry.
Speaker 2: We have to get to that all of that. I
Speaker 2: don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: Plenty more you'll find out, But first, Chris, we do
Speaker 1: like to ask our guests, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history? It's feeling about who you are?
Speaker 2: Well, I've still been watching that guy who talks about
Speaker 2: tool tops quite a bit. Uh, Tom asked Jim from
Speaker 2: Beneath the Planes, and I do recommend that, although it
Speaker 2: is repetitive, once you find out that the entire world
Speaker 2: beneath your feet is made of old bottles, you you know,
Speaker 2: eventually get and they're all, it's incredible. You just I
Speaker 2: just think the coolest thing about it is it just
Speaker 2: gives you the impression that you can just take a
Speaker 2: little rod. He's always talking about taking a rod and
Speaker 2: sticking it in the ground, and and like he casually
Speaker 2: says like, oh and I saw some I was able
Speaker 2: to detect some stove ashes and glass with a rod
Speaker 2: that he sticks in the ground. And it makes you
Speaker 2: sound yeah, it sounds so easy. He finds the depression
Speaker 2: in the ground and then sticks a rod in it,
Speaker 2: and he's like, oh, stobash. Whereas if I found a
Speaker 2: depression in the ground, you know, you'd stick your fucking
Speaker 2: you stick your fucking probe directly into your you know,
Speaker 2: your your septic tank or whatever it is, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. Like he's just I don't know, anyway,
Speaker 2: that's great, you know, so you're still on that that's
Speaker 2: great here, But then the other stuff is like, I
Speaker 2: don't know if you guys have ever heard of this
Speaker 2: website called the realto Report. You may have, no, I
Speaker 2: don't think you never heard of the rialto Report. Okay.
Speaker 2: It's about a golden age porn and they tracked down
Speaker 2: all the old porn stars and talk about them. And
Speaker 2: they have a podcast that you can only get like
Speaker 2: through their website. I don't know why if they got
Speaker 2: banned from other websites or something, or from they can't too. Anyway,
Speaker 2: rialto Report is very good. Then the guy did a podcast,
Speaker 2: This guy named April West, I think that's his name.
Speaker 2: He's kind of like this. I don't know. I thought
Speaker 2: he was an okay guy who was just interested in
Speaker 2: the history of porn, which of course is impossible. It's
Speaker 2: a good guy, seriously, because I like podcasters that I,
Speaker 2: you know, have a decent voice and like that I
Speaker 2: think are like reasonably nice people. I don't want to
Speaker 2: listen to a podcast if I think the people for
Speaker 2: hosting the show are dix right.
Speaker 1: So this guy point, I genuinely like have have been
Speaker 1: out on podcasters being like I think they might be
Speaker 1: an asshole, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So this guy sounded reasonable. I
Speaker 2: thought he's had a really, you know, an outsized interest
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventies and eighties pornography, which I admit I
Speaker 2: also have an outsized interest in. It's very specific a thing,
Speaker 2: so anyway I'm talking too. He talks about it very
Speaker 2: academically as well, like as if there's no horniness involved,
Speaker 2: which of course is impossible. Anyway, that he did a
Speaker 2: podcast for Wondering or something called about Tracy Lawrence, and
Speaker 2: I really did not like that podcast, and I hated
Speaker 2: his tone it like hated it. It was a very
Speaker 2: creepy podcast. It was done with other journalists and both
Speaker 2: of them came off looking like shit. I couldn't even
Speaker 2: finish listening to it. But it doesn't matter. Rialto report.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is rialto report. You know. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying that I'm a fan of their fucking people, but
Speaker 2: I love this story they found about this woman named Ultramax.
Speaker 2: And if you go down, I don't know if I
Speaker 2: could see Miles's face, I can see he's on this
Speaker 2: on this website. Oh yeah, you saw my mouth get
Speaker 2: real slack. You see Ultramax. It's like the third one down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and when it's like part one Ultramax Queen of
Speaker 1: she looks like.
Speaker 2: Flow from Mel's Diner, that old show from like you know,
Speaker 2: I don't even know why I'm fucking mentioning that with
Speaker 2: your audience's age, but there's no reason whatsoever. But she
Speaker 2: looks just like Flow from Mel's Diner. So not like
Speaker 2: not like a bombshell or anything. She looks like a
Speaker 2: regular person. Total looks like an older, older, regular person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so she looks like she would be a politician.
Speaker 1: I assumed looking at the picture that this was a
Speaker 1: story about a politician's wife who like tried to shut
Speaker 1: down the porn industry, or like Margaret Thatcher's sister.
Speaker 2: But instead it's Queen of the Swingers. And she was
Speaker 2: like part of like the Long Island, like the thriving
Speaker 2: swinging scene of like wealthy Manhattan and but like professional
Speaker 2: class like yeah, doctors and dentists and stuff, and then
Speaker 2: like also on Amityville, Long Island. So it was like
Speaker 2: it was basically this Jewish professionals swinger culture. And it
Speaker 2: is unbelievable because Jewish professionals are not necessarily always you know,
Speaker 2: you don't picture like a nineteen seventies dentist being very
Speaker 2: like hot, like a like a suburban dentist, and they're not,
Speaker 2: and neither is Ultramax. But they all were so horny
Speaker 2: and so out of control because of like the early
Speaker 2: seventies just being like everybody should have sex with everybody
Speaker 2: all the time. And have you ever tried a rubber
Speaker 2: mallet on your dick? Like there's like you can mail
Speaker 2: order a rubber mallet that's just your Dickah with her
Speaker 2: name Ultramax like Maxine, right, But but there's the whole story.
Speaker 2: She named herself Ultramax like that already. She was like, Wow,
Speaker 2: they were gonna name me like super Maxine or something
Speaker 2: or whatever it was, and shall we settled on Ultramax.
Speaker 2: But just about halfway down, there's a picture of a
Speaker 2: swinger's party that go down her interview. Yeah, and then
Speaker 2: see a picture where there's a man smoking a cigar
Speaker 2: and it looks kind of like one of those like
Speaker 2: a colored palette's kind of like a dog playing cards,
Speaker 2: kind of one of those paintings. Yeah, oh yeah, do
Speaker 2: you see that? Now, blow that fucking thing up and
Speaker 2: then just thank me, just thank me. And also since
Speaker 2: I have to have that image in my life now
Speaker 2: you do, because it never will leave. Look at that
Speaker 2: fucking pageant. There is a whole. This thing is dense.
Speaker 2: It's like look where. It's like there's a story in
Speaker 2: every spare inch of this image.
Speaker 1: Uncle Junior is like squeezing some guy's nipples in the
Speaker 1: back that one.
Speaker 2: I didn't even see that, so busy looking at that
Speaker 2: guy's cigar which turns out as a breadstick. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: it's some kind of a food thing. Wow, I thought
Speaker 2: it was a penis. It looks like a Tullusla Trek painting.
Speaker 2: I mean, it is crazy. And it's like a photograph
Speaker 2: of a home in Amityville, Long Island in nineteen seventy three.
Speaker 2: And what this is all coming around to is what happened?
Speaker 2: Why was life so interesting? And now it sucks?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Where the Cultramax having a food party? And it's the
Speaker 2: Internet ruined everything. Everybody in that picture would be looking
Speaker 2: at their phones instead of whatever that woman's doing rubbing
Speaker 2: down a pepperoni or you see that one lady who
Speaker 2: was like, I don't think that's a pepperoni, boss. I'm no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: that's what I thought too. But it is a pepperoni.
Speaker 2: That's the thing. He's like, Oh, it's the food stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's the one guy who's tickling the one guy's nipples.
Speaker 2: But then there's the other right next to him. That
Speaker 2: woman is squeezing some kind of piece of pepperoni, sausage
Speaker 2: or something. But that man, the look on that man's face.
Speaker 2: I mentioned the size of that man's penis the one
Speaker 2: with the fucking breadstick in his mouth. Yeah, Like, what
Speaker 2: kind of seduction is that? Like to look at a
Speaker 2: woman like that dead? He has no smile on his face.
Speaker 2: He looks dead, angry, pens penislacid. He is huge, but
Speaker 2: it's flaccid, and he has either a giant cigar that's
Speaker 2: unlit or I also, I like the idea of guys
Speaker 2: back then couldn't even sex wasn't enough. It was such
Speaker 2: a wild sex party in seventy three that they were like,
Speaker 2: I want to smoke while I'm having sex. Regular regular
Speaker 2: group sex is so boring. I must have a tobacco product. Yeah,
Speaker 2: lineup a cigar, and I'm not gonna smile at all
Speaker 2: because this is an everyday occurrence. That dude looks like
Speaker 2: pop kind of and he does arrow wind Bill. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think we could do an iHeartRadio podcast just about Ultramax. Okay,
Speaker 2: and we do dramatizations. I do the voice of Ultramax.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. I just think that picture
Speaker 2: is something that people need. Picture is amazing, it's really
Speaker 2: and it's you're never gonna forget that. So that's my
Speaker 2: gift to you. Well, thank you.
Speaker 1: We will link off to it with the N S
Speaker 1: f W in the in the footnotes.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, people are falling out of the fucking Google off.
Speaker 1: Ultramax looks like a fucking icon that everybody should know about.
Speaker 2: People are flipping out of their chairs of there we works.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and also the gazoo. Oh my god, that's what
Speaker 4: crazy people saying. Gat zouga.
Speaker 2: While we're at it. People used to say gat zouga
Speaker 2: when they saw a picture. Dropped that picture into any
Speaker 2: fucking we work and see what. Yeah, spitting cappuccino everywhere espresso.
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
Speaker 1: Tuck overrated under it.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And where back and Chris crofton, what is something that
Speaker 1: you think is overrated, sir?
Speaker 2: Overrated is the oscars and people being like, I'm mad
Speaker 2: my movie didn't get fucking whatever. You know, I didn't
Speaker 2: get my movie, he didn't get Saltburn got robbed first
Speaker 2: of all. Saltburn sucks second of all. Who cares? At
Speaker 2: this point? Rich kids do all the art. So these
Speaker 2: rich kids, you want to give them a statue on
Speaker 2: top of everything else. Yeah, that's that I do, Chris, No,
Speaker 2: And they vote on themselves. Who do you think? Both
Speaker 2: for these oscars? Their parents rich, other rich kids vote
Speaker 2: on them and they don't even watch the movies they cost.
Speaker 1: Okay, they better get a fucking statue, you know. For you,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I mean, like end of the world stuff. It's like
Speaker 2: people getting mad about their show being canceled. It's just
Speaker 2: end of the world stuff. It's like, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know, It's just people's lives have gotten so crazily.
Speaker 2: I can't even speak. I had coldbrew. I don't know
Speaker 2: why I did. I had some earlier too, with.
Speaker 1: My broken have gotten so crazily devoid of sex parties
Speaker 1: with yes exactly, pepperoni.
Speaker 2: Yes, there's nothing pepperoni. Not enough naked people dead staring
Speaker 2: at each other while getting a huge piece of food.
Speaker 2: So anyway, I don't I don't care about I mean,
Speaker 2: the fact that people are invested in the oscars makes
Speaker 2: me sad, and also just the idea of people trying
Speaker 2: to be cinophiles in an age where all the movies blow.
Speaker 2: I would love it. I would love it if we
Speaker 2: could all be back in a time where we could
Speaker 2: be serious about movies. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Back, And I'm square at a you know, sort of
Speaker 3: grimy cinema watching Ultramax Flix.
Speaker 2: I miss being pretentious, I miss intellectual conversations, but it's gone.
Speaker 2: Stop trying to manufacture it. Ooh, I wonder if, Oh,
Speaker 2: I wonder which movie this year? There's so many rich
Speaker 2: examples of Get out of Here. It's like there's no
Speaker 2: movies they are good. It's like one movie that's good
Speaker 2: if you're lucky, right, And everybody decided it was Oppenheimer
Speaker 2: and for some reason Barbie, which I didn't see and
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna see. And I can't even look at
Speaker 2: I tried to watch five seconds of that movie made
Speaker 2: me want to throw up. I can't even look at it.
Speaker 2: I can't even look at it. I saw it on
Speaker 2: fucking one of the machines, you know, fucking one of
Speaker 2: the one of the the apps. Oh, one of the machines,
Speaker 2: you know, like Disney Plus or something. I was at
Speaker 2: someone's house. They oh my god. I was like, this
Speaker 2: looks horrible. I don't care what God anyway, Oh oh look,
Speaker 2: how beautiful. What's her name? Don't worry rich rich kid
Speaker 2: x y x seventy nine. However her you know, like
Speaker 2: whatever the conveyor belt that rolled off. I'm not into
Speaker 2: hot people. We need to take hot people down, not
Speaker 2: give them statues. Yeah, what's her name? Who plays mar Yeah,
Speaker 2: Margot Robbie. Oh yeah, she better get a statue or
Speaker 2: else what She'll have an even bigger ego and hit
Speaker 2: her personal assistant even harder with her phone. We can
Speaker 2: confirm more.
Speaker 1: Deny, excuse me, mart Robbie hits her.
Speaker 2: I'm sure she she seems very nice.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 2: My show on NPR, Yeah, my show, Nashville Confidential. How's
Speaker 2: it going? It's I mean, it's a dream come true.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm looking for sponsors right now though, because NPR, uh,
Speaker 2: they're they're they're dealing with the same thing everybody else
Speaker 2: is dealing with, which is is a. People don't have
Speaker 2: any people don't have any money to give them like
Speaker 2: they maybe did, so they're like I I was. I
Speaker 2: did three segments, and to do more segments, I have
Speaker 2: to have sponsors, which I'm working on here in Nashville.
Speaker 2: But the segments I've done so far have been really fun.
Speaker 2: And and and the fact that I've been on NPR,
Speaker 2: even though it's local w PLN, but it's like a
Speaker 2: huge reach. So I'm doing like and I'm getting to
Speaker 2: sneak in some commentary. I mean, like, you know, you're
Speaker 2: not gonna be able to get you know, I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna be able to say what I want to say necessarily,
Speaker 2: but I can say a little and I can also
Speaker 2: just I'm also I'm so into being on the on
Speaker 2: the radio that I would even just do entertainment pieces
Speaker 2: because people need that too. They don't just need me
Speaker 2: yelling about, you know, being mad at hot people or so.
Speaker 1: Uh you know those entertainment pieces.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. So the last one I did was riding
Speaker 2: the bus. So I've done three. The first one was
Speaker 2: the bell which, the second one was about my campaign,
Speaker 2: and the third one was about the bus and the
Speaker 2: bus bus one was my favorite, because here's the idea.
Speaker 2: I was gonna take the bus and I was just
Speaker 2: gonna talk to people. That was a whole idea. I
Speaker 2: was like, I'm just gonna talk to people. And I
Speaker 2: was like, I don't know what am I talk to
Speaker 2: them about. And then my friend was like, yeah, the
Speaker 2: bus man, no one takes the bus here because the
Speaker 2: bus doesn't go anywhere. And he's like, and if you
Speaker 2: want to go to the west side, forget it. And
Speaker 2: I was like, I know, because rich people don't like
Speaker 2: the bus to come near them. And in Nashville, they
Speaker 2: had a whole plan for a new bus, and the
Speaker 2: Tennessee State legislature, who actually live in these rich neighborhoods
Speaker 2: outside Nashville, outlawed that kind of bus because it was
Speaker 2: gonna let people from my side of town get to
Speaker 2: their side of town and that's not what they want.
Speaker 2: So I decided, oh shit, I could do a kind
Speaker 2: of commentary in the bus trip. So I said, there's
Speaker 2: this botanical garden called cheek Wood in West Nashville, and
Speaker 2: so I decided to try and take the bus to
Speaker 2: cheek Wood, which is from Madison. So I was talking
Speaker 2: about Look, I was talking about my neighborhood, Kratum and
Speaker 2: vape stores. And then I'm trying to go to the
Speaker 2: Botanical Garden and I never got there because you can't
Speaker 2: get there. You can get a mile away from it.
Speaker 2: But I even missed my stop and I ended up
Speaker 2: five miles away from it, and then I ended up
Speaker 2: at Sprouts. I ended up in the sprout seas in
Speaker 2: the bathroom, and I asked them past year. This is
Speaker 2: my favorite part of the report actually, and it's just
Speaker 2: real subtle because I didn't even have them. I had
Speaker 2: the mic on, but I didn't have it right in
Speaker 2: front of the guy. But I just said, hey, man,
Speaker 2: can I get to cheek Is cheek Wood near here?
Speaker 2: And he goes yeah, And I said, oh, just is
Speaker 2: cheek Wood near here? And he said yeah, and I said,
Speaker 2: he said it's about ten minutes by you know, you
Speaker 2: know you're driving, This is about ten minutes. I said
Speaker 2: what if I want to walk? And he goes, well,
Speaker 2: that would take three or four hours. And I said like,
Speaker 2: and I said three or four hours and he said
Speaker 2: along would take me.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey man, I'm just looking at your legs and
Speaker 1: I'm just doing the math.
Speaker 2: So I just thought I don't know why it made
Speaker 2: me laugh so hard, just the fact that he says
Speaker 2: a ten minute drive with a three or four.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, we don't have a lot of experience making
Speaker 1: that conversion in our day of day lives.
Speaker 2: But I had to turn back and I went back
Speaker 2: home and the bus. I didn't want to demonize the
Speaker 2: bus because the bus actually was pleasant. It just doesn't
Speaker 2: go It really just goes down the main thoroughfares. And
Speaker 2: so if you can go to I'm trying to think
Speaker 2: of where I would put it. I guess I could
Speaker 2: put it a link to it somewhere. I don't know
Speaker 2: how I could do it, but or maybe you guys could.
Speaker 1: Link to the most recent one episode for the most
Speaker 1: recent from Chris, it's really fun Nashville Confidential.
Speaker 2: And when I was rolling down Gallaton Road, which is
Speaker 2: the Dumpy Road, which is runs through the middle of
Speaker 2: East Nashville, which is funny because it's like all the
Speaker 2: yoga pants people just have to pretend it doesn't exist,
Speaker 2: like to fulfill their whatever, just to make them feel
Speaker 2: like they got didn't get ripped off moving to Nashville
Speaker 2: after they read all the hype and then they get
Speaker 2: there and they're like, why am I running by a
Speaker 2: payday loan place in my yoga pants? So they just
Speaker 2: pretend their yoga do. They pretend the payday loan place
Speaker 2: is like a I don't know what, an old cabin
Speaker 2: an orange And I went by this abandoned car wash
Speaker 2: and I realized they should turn that thing into a
Speaker 2: coffee shop. This is just on the fly. I'll go
Speaker 2: down by on the bus and you can squirt coffee.
Speaker 2: Have those fucking old water guns and you could make
Speaker 2: fucking oat pham come out of the fucking phone brushes
Speaker 2: and you could turn that dial to like whatever you want,
Speaker 2: like you know, moke mocha, Mocha with the whip. Will
Speaker 2: you have like a whip whip? I mean you have to.
Speaker 2: We talked about it on my podcast. You have to
Speaker 2: get some controls in there, because you know, people can't
Speaker 2: be squareding coffee. You'll lose money. Well, you'll lose money.
Speaker 2: You can't have that thing squirt. You have to limit it.
Speaker 2: It's like a barbercare, like a barberchare shot. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: not it's not unlimited, yeah yeah yeah, just enough to
Speaker 2: do something. You got to measure yeah yeah, yeah. But Anyway,
Speaker 2: some woman emailed me or sent me an Instagram message
Speaker 2: saying she was working in Laverne, which is somewhere outside
Speaker 2: of town here, which I don't know where it is.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like saying, like, I don't know what
Speaker 2: it's like saying, but some someplace outside of la that
Speaker 2: you never you've heard of, but you've never been Laverne.
Speaker 2: So Laverne. She was coming from Laverne, and she's from Knoxville,
Speaker 2: and she caught that, and she goes, I love what
Speaker 2: you said about the squirting a coffee, and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: listen to w PLN more, which is you know, if
Speaker 2: she does, she's not going to hear anybody else talking
Speaker 2: about But I was so happy. You know, that's the
Speaker 2: fun of the radio. You know, it's like, yeah, there's
Speaker 2: just random people who the business owners consider consider sponsoring. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've got a couple things lined up. But you know,
Speaker 2: it's it's not it's not something that the corporation is
Speaker 2: necessarily going to see an obvious tie into it. You know,
Speaker 2: I'm describing it as the Daily Show meets did I say,
Speaker 2: I can't remember it as it meets meets And then
Speaker 2: he kind of trailed off. But yeah, I do need
Speaker 2: a sponsor, and it's not that much money. It's really
Speaker 2: just covering my salary. There you go. Anyway, it's exciting.
Speaker 2: And if I don't do something with National Confidential on NPR,
Speaker 2: I I can do something with it somewhere else because
Speaker 2: I really enjoy this talking to people in the public.
Speaker 2: It's really fun. Oh and I'll tell you one thing quick. Sorry.
Speaker 2: This guy in the bus station said hey, can I
Speaker 2: talk to you? And I was like, or He's like,

Speaker 2: talking about the stadium being bullshit. You know, I said this,
Speaker 2: Titans deserve a worst stadium because they suck and he's like,
Speaker 2: we mustn't, you know. He was a little bit. He
Speaker 2: was just trying to like he's just going making his
Speaker 2: way in the world. I'm on the other end of
Speaker 2: the spectrum where I'm like, you know, some kind of
Speaker 2: goat chewing cans, you know, and uh like, oh yeah,

Speaker 2: me talking about squirting fucking coffee and breaking young pets
Speaker 2: me and destroying young people's dreams of centrist existence. Well,
Speaker 2: I'm excited about the Titans.
Speaker 1: Why they suck always will anyway, all right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 1: We're back, And Chris Craffin, do you know what a
Speaker 1: Stanley quencher is?
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is. It sounds like something
Speaker 2: for a drill.
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, that's kind of yeah, it's uh, it's the
Speaker 1: drill gets hot. It's actually the most one of the
Speaker 1: most sought after consumer items of the last year. And
Speaker 1: you know, like Stanley like insulated thermosis and stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: like you know, they've been around for like over on
Speaker 1: hundred I was thinking about Stanley drills.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about Yeah, Stanley makes a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they're all the same, are they also? The
Speaker 1: Stanley vacuums, Stanley steamers. I think we tried to figure
Speaker 1: this out live on the on mic before and never
Speaker 1: got anywhere.
Speaker 3: It's Stanley nineteen thirteen drink wear and gear is what
Speaker 3: they have on their website. It feels like mostly cups,
Speaker 3: but hey, look look, Stanley is a very common name.
Speaker 3: But yeah, this the fucking quencher, right, has become such
Speaker 3: like a hyped consumer item that we've all I've just
Speaker 3: definitely been like scratching my head. I'm like, I kind
Speaker 3: of get it. I get that, like anything that becomes
Speaker 3: like huge on TikTok has a potential for becoming like
Speaker 3: a vacuum you know what are those vacuum sealed mug
Speaker 3: or whatever, Like an insulated cup that now fetches hundreds
Speaker 3: of dollars like on you know, secondary websites if you're
Speaker 3: trying to buy something an auction.
Speaker 2: But recently, a.
Speaker 3: Woman in Roseville, California, was arrested after just like casually
Speaker 3: filling her shopping cart with over sixty Stanley cups after
Speaker 3: a store received like a fresh shipment and rather than paying,
Speaker 3: she just fucking bolted out the store, filled her trunk
Speaker 3: with the loot, and just took off, only to be
Speaker 3: caught later. And like when the cops showed up, Like
Speaker 3: it's so funny how cops always like to do like
Speaker 3: the bust photo orre you, like, this is.
Speaker 2: What we recovered and we're putting it all on the
Speaker 2: hood of a car, three tiles police car. Yeah, like
Speaker 2: basically over sixty cups. This is like thousands of dollars
Speaker 2: of Stanley MUCKs. And she almost got away with it.
Speaker 3: And we were talking on the last episode about like
Speaker 3: what the fuck is why why is it getting like
Speaker 3: so like so popular, And after you know, combing Reddit
Speaker 3: and a few other blogs and reading a few other
Speaker 3: news articles, it basically comes down to like a convergence
Speaker 3: of influencers on water talk, you know, the very like
Speaker 3: hydration centric uh sub sub community of TikTok users promoting
Speaker 3: this fucking.
Speaker 2: Cup along with Chris, along with these features specifically that
Speaker 2: people apparently like, I see this repeatedly talked about and people.
Speaker 3: Like, well, the reason why I got a Stanley use
Speaker 3: because I like that it has a handle. I liked
Speaker 3: that as a wide straw for drinking like good amounts
Speaker 3: of water. It's high capacity, and I can use it
Speaker 3: with my car's cup holder because some other cups they're
Speaker 3: too thick, you know what I mean, triple c thick
Speaker 3: down there to get into my cup holder, where Stanley
Speaker 3: Quencher just it does the job and okay leads.
Speaker 2: This is directly tied into the oscar talk. This is
Speaker 2: like people are gonna be like, why didn't Stanley Quencher
Speaker 2: get nominated for an oscar? They did have a Barbie
Speaker 2: tie and cup, and I do I should have been Yeah,
Speaker 2: I stand Yetti coolers, I stand the Barbie movie. I
Speaker 2: stand Stanley steamers or where the fuck this is scarpet cleaner.
Speaker 1: But like, so, sales last year hit around seven hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars.
Speaker 2: You know what they did in twenty twenty. You know
Speaker 2: what the revenues were? Seventy million.
Speaker 1: Wow, they fucking ten x miles. They ten x that shit.
Speaker 1: That's fucking hockey stick growth. Bro, that's hockey stick growth.
Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, someone's smoking it at one of
Speaker 1: the Ultramax's parties that they have such a hockey Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and apparently the other thing that I think is a
Speaker 1: secret here has a lot to do with You're welcome,
Speaker 1: You've inspired and inspired a nation. Gris is the new
Speaker 1: president of Stanley is the fucking Previously, he was the
Speaker 1: CMO at Crocks, and he was basically behind completely reviving
Speaker 1: the chunky slipper into a trendy item that people were
Speaker 1: losing their shit over. So this dude apparently has just
Speaker 1: like the fucking gift to be like, we have fucking
Speaker 1: gingis on her hands. Here feels like this person should
Speaker 1: be a household name. Yeah, just in terms of understanding
Speaker 1: this particularly stupid version of the zeitgeist, they are he
Speaker 1: is him or she is her, depending on I don't
Speaker 1: know enough about the person, but.
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah yeah, yeah, the person is Terrence Riley. Terrence Riley.
Speaker 3: Yeah, game over from Crocs. But yeah, like it's just
Speaker 3: like become this whole thing right now. The most expensive
Speaker 3: Stanley quencher I saw when I went on stock X,
Speaker 3: which is like where people like hype beasts and stuff.
Speaker 3: So used to be like sneakers and like clothing. Now
Speaker 3: it's like fucking cups. There's one that sold for over
Speaker 3: four hundred and twenty dollars for like a Philippine's only
Speaker 3: exclusive color way, and that is it's a four hundred
Speaker 3: dollars metal cup for sipping.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's like a cabbage patch doll exactly. It's
Speaker 2: like all product crazes, except now people are so crazy
Speaker 2: about cabbage patch dolls are at least kind of interesting.
Speaker 2: A cup.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's like an adult it's like a
Speaker 3: thing that feels functional. So it doesn't seem like completely
Speaker 3: like a waist to like have a ton of them,
Speaker 3: because like, well I use them, but like for me,
Speaker 3: I'm like, you only need like one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go to Goodwill, man, the whole store is cup.
Speaker 2: You want to cups, get you a cup. I'm used
Speaker 2: to like a fucking mirror that looks like a captain's
Speaker 2: ship wheel. And now all there is in there is
Speaker 2: fucking cups, Just tons and tons of those fucking cups,
Speaker 2: insulated fucking cups. Yeah, and you won't won't don't want
Speaker 2: to buy them because it's a cup, and you imagine
Speaker 2: that somehow there's gonna be hepatitis in it, And so
Speaker 2: everybody just leaves them there and buys another one, which
Speaker 2: ends up in the thrift store. So now the thrift
Speaker 2: store not only that people used to work at the
Speaker 2: thrift store and we're handling interesting items like birds nest
Speaker 2: replicas and whatever the fuck else used to be in there,
Speaker 2: and now all they do is cups. And they're like,
Speaker 2: how's dad at the thrift store? And they're like, it
Speaker 2: sucks because we're just dealing cups, right, thank you.
Speaker 1: I feel like that mirror that looks like a captain's
Speaker 1: ship wheel is gonna look really cool next to that
Speaker 1: beer can't collection. I feel like, oh yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: I'm looking great.
Speaker 2: You go into a good will, you're hoping to find
Speaker 2: a crazy pair of shorts, not a goddamn cup.
Speaker 3: Metal another yetshtag Cup's fortieth anniversary, It's like, what the
Speaker 3: fuck commemorative yet?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like stuff from weddings, like the whole fucking
Speaker 2: T shirt rack is like Phoebe and Dan's wedding or whatever.
Speaker 2: It's like all fifty shirts they bought for a nickel.
Speaker 2: You know. It's like everything's ruined. Everything is ruined. People
Speaker 2: are in love with cups. People want to marry cups. Jack.
Speaker 2: I see you kind of have a hype drinking bottle
Speaker 2: that I see around a lot in La. There this
Speaker 2: bad boy, like the built.
Speaker 1: In dark Sea Atlantic Ocean colored Colorway. Colorway got a
Speaker 1: built in straw. I don't know how I feel about
Speaker 1: the built in straw, to be honest with you, I
Speaker 1: was just thinking about that the Stanley having a like
Speaker 1: removable fat boy like McDonald's sprite sized straw is actually
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more appealing to me because I
Speaker 1: always have the question of, like there must be so
Speaker 1: much fucking mold, Like I don't you know, like who's
Speaker 1: cleaning the inside of this like straw that is built
Speaker 1: into the side of this cup.
Speaker 2: I have a metal straw, and I feel the same
Speaker 2: way you have.
Speaker 3: One of those, Like I feel like all these cups. No,
Speaker 3: I'll come with like a small sort of pipe cleaner
Speaker 3: thing so you can really clean that. That's my fucking
Speaker 3: worst nightmare. I think also because I grew up playing
Speaker 3: a brass instrument like trumpet, like you also have to
Speaker 3: keep it like you're constantly blowing into it, and when
Speaker 3: that shit gets disgusting, it's like, dude, I'm gonna get
Speaker 3: sick from playing my own trumpet.
Speaker 2: It feels like.
Speaker 3: So I definitely have a thing with like getting them
Speaker 3: fucking straws clean because I just bacteria.
Speaker 2: I uh, well, now you're making me feel bad about
Speaker 2: uh just a while.
Speaker 1: But I will say that the Stanley thing, it kind
Speaker 1: of makes more sense to me after you did your research,
Speaker 1: because first of all, just the number of cups that
Speaker 1: don't fit in a car's cup holder that you can
Speaker 1: buy like a coffee cup, yeah, is just like why
Speaker 1: why would that ever exist? It's a shame that they
Speaker 1: we all need them to fit, like fit into the
Speaker 1: same size. But there I I have like multiple coffee
Speaker 1: cups that I can't bring with me anywhere because they're
Speaker 1: just like way too wide. And then you got the
Speaker 1: fat straw. You got this handle on the side. These
Speaker 1: are crucial.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're in I mean yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 2: mean I'm disappointed, but I get like, I think it's
Speaker 2: one of those things too.
Speaker 3: It's like it's it's a thing you if you like,
Speaker 3: you get one of them. But there's also now this
Speaker 3: like collector aspect now where people are like I gotta
Speaker 3: have all the fucking colors and I'm gonna spend hundreds
Speaker 3: of dollars to attain them. That's when we're like, oh,
Speaker 3: we've were losing the plot in so quickly so quickly,
Speaker 3: but it feels like again we've had like water, Like
Speaker 3: I remember it used to be the hydro flask that
Speaker 3: was the thing fucking everybody wanted, like in terms of
Speaker 3: water bottles'.
Speaker 1: The one that like has a bag inside your shirt
Speaker 1: and like a straw that comes over what.
Speaker 2: Do you know those like runners?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know about that. I
Speaker 1: know about the hydro flask seems like a very high
Speaker 1: tech term for just like a no, it's another metal
Speaker 1: fucking so does it like inject the water directly into
Speaker 1: your veins bypassing your mouth screw off lid that you
Speaker 1: have to manually suck from what?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, hydroflask marketing, Yeah, yeah, right, it was actually
Speaker 2: designed by NASA. Yeah, I'm back in. I'm back in,
Speaker 2: so I don't know. I you know, I'm gonna keep my.
Speaker 1: Eye on these various Stanley mugs. You know, I'm probably
Speaker 1: not gonna buy anything for over four hundred dollars, you know,
Speaker 1: but I'm just gonna be reasonable here.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna keep it reasonable.
Speaker 1: I did have fun, Miles, thank you for putting this
Speaker 1: story together, because I've had fun just texting my wife various.
Speaker 2: You know, what's funny.
Speaker 3: I found one that was actually even more expensive than
Speaker 3: the fucking Philippine Colorway Exclusive.
Speaker 2: It was the par fay ombre Quencher. Someone is listed
Speaker 2: for fucking five hundred.
Speaker 1: Yes, this is like a product I could see myself using.
Speaker 1: And also to Chris's point, just like a functional society
Speaker 1: does not have this happening in it.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, like a couple of times you guys
Speaker 2: have said something that I'm not familiar with. I feel
Speaker 2: like I should bring it up. What is a color way?
Speaker 3: A colorway just means like the specific like of the
Speaker 3: variety of cups. So it comes in this color or
Speaker 3: this colorway is like a sneaker, a combination of like
Speaker 3: a handful of colors that go and like where they're placed.
Speaker 3: It's like a usually a simple combination of colors. It's
Speaker 3: with like sneakers.
Speaker 2: I got it, Okay, So it's another the color scheme, right,
Speaker 2: it's an updated color scheme. It's all about Yeah, Like,
Speaker 2: what's that thing called the hydro flask. Yes, it's like
Speaker 2: the same like a colorway. Colorway on my hydro flask
Speaker 2: was designed by NASA and Andy Warhol. When we get
Speaker 2: to the when we get to the end of the
Speaker 2: show and I talk about what tweet I like, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna talk about my own poem, which I wrote about
Speaker 2: about cups, about fucking smart cups. Someone someone wanted a
Speaker 2: poem called smart cups. Because everything it's all about unicorns, billionaires,
Speaker 2: So we got to reinvent something that that that is
Speaker 2: not reinventable. Yeah, and because we need something if we're
Speaker 2: gonna be a billionaire. We got to sell a lot
Speaker 2: of these things, so we've got to we got to
Speaker 2: reinvent something that everyone needs but it's unreinventable, Yeah, like
Speaker 2: a cup.
Speaker 1: I feel like the tech industry went from like in
Speaker 1: Social Network the justin tipper Lake characters like you know what, yeah,
Speaker 1: a million dollars is great. You know what's better a
Speaker 1: billion dollars? Like I feel like now the tech industry
Speaker 1: is like, you know what's fucking disgusting? A million dollars
Speaker 1: fucking gross. You might as well kill yourself, dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like you guys know, Cafe Tropical, remember Sunset, Okay,
Speaker 2: one of the other places I hung out, No, one
Speaker 2: of the first places I hung out in La one
Speaker 2: of the only like home eat places as a person
Speaker 2: from out of town, you know, like coming from Nashville. Like,
Speaker 2: I mean whatever, I don't have to make myself sound
Speaker 2: like I'm Axel Rose and fucking welcome, welcomed in jungle.
Speaker 2: Did walk used to live in New York. I used
Speaker 2: to used to live in New York, So I mean
Speaker 2: that wasn't like but I mean it was just like
Speaker 2: a homey kind of place. Yeah. And then it got
Speaker 2: bought and it got turned into like they remade it
Speaker 2: and ruined it, and they kept some of the staff,
Speaker 2: and the staff was all in there unhappy because they
Speaker 2: previously it's almost it was all Hispanic. And they changed
Speaker 2: the decor into like modern fucking blue bottle, you know,
Speaker 2: fucking like Yeah, and then now it's out of business.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why it went out of business.
Speaker 2: And that's the interesting thing. It's just that the son
Speaker 2: of some lady who had a restaurant for forty years,
Speaker 2: like a Mexican restaurant, her dumb ass son, who undoubtedly
Speaker 2: grew up like I think pretty well, thinks this is
Speaker 2: a very successful restaurant. He somehow managed to get his
Speaker 2: name on the like she wrote him into the restaurant
Speaker 2: that they lived. I mean that they lived, they ran,
Speaker 2: so he ended up like with a piece of the restaurant.
Speaker 2: He leveraged that into like buying twelve businesses because he
Speaker 2: was trying to be a mogul, and in the process
Speaker 2: bankrupted everything, including his mom's business that she'd had his
Speaker 2: whole life that gave him. Ever So, I just think
Speaker 2: that was the perfect example of this this this son
Speaker 2: who's been infected with this this billionaire culture thinks, oh,
Speaker 2: my mom has a restaurant and that affords us a living.
Speaker 2: But that's not enough. I want to be a goddamn baller.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna fucking take my mom's money without telling
Speaker 2: her and then buy a bunch of restaurants and bars,
Speaker 2: get drunk, do coke, lose it all, and in the
Speaker 2: process wipe out Cafe Tropical. So the lesson is, kids,
Speaker 2: I can't. I don't know what the lesson is.
Speaker 1: Set down, settle the fuck down. Don't only go to
Speaker 1: like places.
Speaker 2: And you know stability, what about stability? Does it all
Speaker 2: have to be? Let it all rides?
Speaker 1: You can just like hope, definitely have personal actualization, you know,
Speaker 1: movement that is just all about telling people, yes, do
Speaker 1: we have to.
Speaker 2: How about when your friend says, let's reinvent the cup.
Speaker 2: You say, fuck you, Hey, what I got this idea?
Speaker 2: Fuck off at this point or garbage. I don't even
Speaker 2: want to hear what they are. We've already reached peak civilization.
Speaker 2: Now we need to settle the fuck down for real.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear your idea. Justin or whatever
Speaker 2: your name is, no offense, Justin Connor the producer of
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 1: Josh I think would be his name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Josh whatever, Josh. I don't want to hear the
Speaker 2: idea for socks and stay up longer than other socks,
Speaker 2: super socks, ultrasocks. Yeah, like shave, Dollar Shave Club or whatever.
Speaker 2: It's Dollar Shave Club gonna be delivering after the apocalypse,
Speaker 2: Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: Actually, they just totally disrupted that industry. They fucking crushed it. Dog,
Speaker 1: I know you're joking, but that's actually not funny to
Speaker 1: joke about because Dollar Shave Club crushed it, Doug.
Speaker 2: Fuck I just I hit home. I got like Jack
Speaker 2: Dollar Shave Club ship Oliver's house.
Speaker 1: When I talk to people who are in finance, like,
Speaker 1: they will get mad if you like make fun of
Speaker 1: somebody who's successful. Sometimes, like actually, he's disrupting and like
Speaker 1: killing it. So I don't know what you're talking about. Really,
Speaker 1: Like you sound crazy by criticizing him.
Speaker 2: That's my favorite part of like the submarine that exploded. Uh,
Speaker 2: those idiots. There's so many things that just choose from far.
Speaker 2: They said that they disrupted, like the safety protocol. Like
Speaker 2: there's certain things you're not supposed to disrupt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one of one of those things too.
Speaker 2: I'm disrupting deep sea diving. No, no, don't disrupt that.
Speaker 2: Please don't do that.
