Speaker 1: another hilarious stand up comedian actor. This one's also a musician,
Speaker 1: this one who has a Pitchfork seven point four rated album.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate, I hate to mention it and what
Speaker 2: is that number?
Speaker 3: How do you do hate to hate every time? It's
Speaker 3: not that good.
Speaker 1: It is really good. Like it's better than a lot
Speaker 1: of albums that I really like.
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, I bet I beat a Will Co album,
Speaker 3: one will Go album. I beat like Sky Blue Sky.
Speaker 3: And that's like the other people Will Coo fans are
Speaker 3: mad about, you know, all the will Co albums. A
Speaker 3: little bit, I was better. I was rated better than
Speaker 3: one of the lesser will Co albums. Yeah, but uh,
Speaker 3: you know, in general, yeah, I'm I can also scientifically
Speaker 3: prove I'm better than Will Coo in a bunch of
Speaker 3: ways if we had time.
Speaker 2: But but I do have time.
Speaker 3: I got a seven point four Pitchfork. Yeah, so anyway,
Speaker 3: I don't like to mention it too many times you're.
Speaker 1: Tweety, It doesn't sound as tough wing. You're bullying tweet
Speaker 1: someone named tweety unfessionally.
Speaker 2: That was my problem with Sylvester of the Cat.
Speaker 3: They have serious they should do merged with Sylvester the
Speaker 3: Cat on it.
Speaker 2: That's a good I couldn't agree more.
Speaker 3: I don't think he likes.
Speaker 2: That though, when people probably tweety bird with him, he
Speaker 2: hates it.
Speaker 3: No, he's like, yeah, he's like I think he's a
Speaker 3: he's a very powerful man. You know, I don't think
Speaker 3: he's anyone. Yeah, you know, he comes on friendly, but
Speaker 3: he is Jeff tweety, and he's got legions of annoying
Speaker 3: 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 offt
Speaker 1: just 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 2: Where you were talking, oh god exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And now you've revealed Jack that you are
Speaker 3: one of his followers.
Speaker 2: I am. I am legion.
Speaker 3: All right. I'll tell you quick, quick funny story, quick
Speaker 3: funny story. I was in a coffee shop when Sky
Speaker 3: Blue Sky came off out. I've also been in a
Speaker 3: coffee shop when every album came out, but.
Speaker 2: Where you hang.
Speaker 3: But I like the guy behind the counter was like
Speaker 3: one of these guys who loves will go like thinks
Speaker 3: they're like, you know, I don't know, really important for
Speaker 3: some reason. Yeah, And I think they're good, you know,
Speaker 3: I think they're good. Yeah, you know, I like them
Speaker 3: a lot. I mean I've gotten a little bit tired
Speaker 3: of them. But but I mean they put out there,
Speaker 3: I don't know, one hundred records or something like. Yeah,
Speaker 3: way in side projects. He has some side project with
Speaker 3: his son, you know, and yeah, it's called tweety. I mean,
Speaker 3: the guy's a megalomaniac. But anyway, anyway, he I would
Speaker 3: love to get in a feud with him. It'd be
Speaker 3: so good for my social media numbers. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: I could just get to yell at me once I
Speaker 3: would get I don't know what I would get with something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably four or five more followers on threads. Yeah,
Speaker 1: who just antagonized you the whole time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that anyway, I was in this in this store,
Speaker 3: and and sky Blues guy 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 taught. 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're capable of,
Speaker 3: which I thought that was really funny to me, Like
Speaker 3: really that my parents would have said to me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was this really weird like and I knew what
Speaker 3: he meant, because like there's a certain class of like
Speaker 3: music fan that likes like when will Cope put a
Speaker 3: lot of computer noises in their songs, like they were like,
Speaker 3: now we're getting somewhere, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean?
Speaker 3: And then like Skyblos guy was sort of just like
Speaker 3: regular rock and roll without as much beeping or like
Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, we know that they're capable of more.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, you mean more computer noises.
Speaker 2: More beeping.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you mean like dusty computer. You mean, like
Speaker 1: you think music's advanced if it uses machines.
Speaker 3: And I didn't get into it with him because I
Speaker 3: just wanted to, you know, I didn't want to have
Speaker 3: 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: nothing about music. I've noticed is that the Cold War kid.
Speaker 2: That's my most current reference. Also, the Cold War Kids
Speaker 2: a tape recorder. Yeah, that's right. They never did that.
Speaker 4: Ship.
Speaker 1: But anyway, this book, this podcast is coldbrew got me
Speaker 1: like his book is The Advice King Anthology.

Speaker 2: Hey, Chris Crofton to you.
Speaker 3: Thanks turned fifty five, which is like, you know, not
Speaker 3: a birthday you just necessarily out loud. Yeah, you don't
Speaker 3: want to say out loud. There's not like a lot
Speaker 3: of people are going to 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 going to
Speaker 3: start lying about my I like to tell people the
Speaker 3: real deal, yeah, like grunge style. I was raised by
Speaker 3: Eddie Vedder and Eddie Wedder tells the truth.
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's now he went right there, justin
Speaker 1: we can come back in a year. Eddie Vedder tells
Speaker 1: the truth.
Speaker 3: If he doesn't anymore, he doesn't anymore. Though he has
Speaker 3: a facelift. He has a facelift. Eddie, did he get
Speaker 3: a facelift? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Man, come on, I mean it's well done.
Speaker 3: But he's still he got one, you know, Oh really yeah.
Speaker 2: He got I mean I mean, well the best one
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. Does he have those like otherworldly eyes
Speaker 2: that like Wolf Blitzer's face lift was just like, all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, his eyes looked like he was like
Speaker 2: from David Lynch's Dune or something like. His eyes just
Speaker 2: like had these weird, 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 grunge 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. I like that guy, Yeah, I like, the
Speaker 3: guy was all mad. Now he's like mister, you know,
Speaker 3: he's just like mister Chicago Cubs or whatever.
Speaker 2: His pro junk feet.
Speaker 3: When I saw me made it. When I saw him,
Speaker 3: he made a big speech. I saw him in LA
Speaker 3: before I moved, and he in twenty twenty two and
Speaker 3: he made a speech about how he didn't think that
Speaker 3: the allegations against Bill Murray were true because he's hung
Speaker 3: out with Bill Murray and Bill Murray's rules. He was
Speaker 3: super nice, and I was like, he went on a
Speaker 3: long thing about that, and I was like, man, Eddie,
Speaker 3: you need to drink glass wine on stage, you dumb man. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, you just turned into every
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. He fucking got too famous
Speaker 3: in all right. Yeah, so anyway, Eddie Vedder would say
Speaker 3: he was the old Eddie Vedder that I used to like.
Speaker 3: What a set he was fifty five. And I'll tell
Speaker 3: you one thing on a blog, on a blog or
Speaker 3: on some one time I went on that reddit they
Speaker 3: have for the Daily Zeitgeist, that the subreddit mistake, right,
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: I know, but I wanted more.
Speaker 3: 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, did a good job?
Speaker 3: All this Craft is number one? He fever or whatever?
Speaker 3: I said, yeah, And then I went on Reddit and
Speaker 3: Craft one guy is they always put I always put
Speaker 3: that under sweeping the Globe and Instagram, Instagram. Oh it's
Speaker 3: always there's a past that Craft truly couldn't anyway.
Speaker 1: So I.
Speaker 3: Went on God damn the subreddit, and the subreddit said,
Speaker 3: uh that. They said that it was sad that I
Speaker 3: was fifty three, so I can only imagine like this
Speaker 3: guy was like, I think it's kind of sad that
Speaker 3: he is doing this at age fifty three. And then
Speaker 3: and then someone else said, what's he supposed to be doing?
Speaker 3: I know he's like, what else is he supposed to
Speaker 3: be doing? And then the guy was like, I don't know,
Speaker 3: you know, but I know what he thought, because he thinks,
Speaker 3: fifty three year olds yacht or golf, Yeah, yacht or
Speaker 3: some ship, and you.
Speaker 1: Should be hanging out of his golf club, country club.
Speaker 2: And another that too, but you don't just podcast. You
Speaker 2: do also hang out at your golf club as well.
Speaker 2: Who know you can you.
Speaker 1: Pull your yacht up to your golf course And yeah.
Speaker 3: I run, I run a yeah I run. I run
Speaker 3: a whole network of gambling sites.
Speaker 4: I do a lot of things.
Speaker 2: You do a lot of interest. I would argue that
Speaker 2: wins might be the best thing to drink as a performer,
Speaker 2: like at a rock show, where because liquor that will
Speaker 2: take hold of you too quickly, beer will bloat you
Speaker 2: and you'll like burn during your performance, where wine, I
Speaker 2: think might actually be the smoothest thing that you can
Speaker 2: if you're gonna 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.
Speaker 2: Yeah, also a speech that he didn't even make a
Speaker 2: comment in passing it.
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 sparkle jacket and some other someone
Speaker 3: in the audience was wearing a Sparkley jacket, like he
Speaker 3: was wearing a sequin jacket. And he said, like, don't
Speaker 3: steal my thunder bitch, And then he felt so bad
Speaker 3: about it because his old like activist self like was
Speaker 3: he wasn't drunk enough to forget that. So he started
Speaker 3: saying like women needed to equal pay and stuff right
Speaker 3: after that, and it was like, man, you are a
Speaker 3: fucking mess.
Speaker 2: Equal pay to buy different jackets than me.
Speaker 3: He was just so embarrassed. He was so embarrassed he said,
Speaker 3: bitch when I mean no one really he was. And
Speaker 3: then he went on. He immediately said like women's pay
Speaker 3: was going up or something, and it was like, my god,
Speaker 3: you are too drunk, buddy. You know you've.
Speaker 1: You've alienated the tweety mafia and now the Vetermans.
Speaker 2: And you've alienated you should take all that out.
Speaker 1: Sorry about that, bitches and Sparkley jackets, you can take
Speaker 1: that out coming for your ass.
Speaker 3: But I'm fifty five. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3: I'm fifty five, so I get to go to fifth
Speaker 3: the movies or something for half bridan.
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened something. It's the new forty seven. Yeah,
Speaker 2: fifty five is the new forty seven. So you're you're
Speaker 2: your threats that where we're at now in.
Speaker 3: The Yeah, I mean it doesn't matter. No one can
Speaker 3: stop me. No one.
Speaker 1: It's always it's always very convincing when there's a pause
Speaker 1: in between stops. No one can stop me. I'm on hinge, right, bab,
Speaker 1: I'm unhinge me. Yes, he's unhinged. I'm going to add
Speaker 1: that to your intro. Actually, next time, what is something
Speaker 1: from your search history?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 6: I looked up a jiff j I f F wow
Speaker 6: A listen, don't come at me. I play connections. And
Speaker 6: if I don't understand the word and the context that
Speaker 6: I think it's insinuating. I look it up and I
Speaker 6: don't think that's cheating.
Speaker 1: So is this after after you've done so? This is
Speaker 1: the New York Times.
Speaker 6: This is Connections that I'm okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, I'm sorry, yo, what the fuck
Speaker 2: is connections?
Speaker 1: My seven year old just discovered connections and like he's
Speaker 1: obsessed with all those games.
Speaker 6: Now I'm playing against seven year old?
Speaker 2: What the fuck is connections? Connections?
Speaker 1: What is a grid four by four of random words
Speaker 1: or like you know, things, nouns.
Speaker 6: Four to five bathroom hours of your life?
Speaker 1: Yes, and then you have to which which four are
Speaker 1: grouped together in two groups of.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you have to create four groups of four off
Speaker 6: this like you know, grid of words. You have to
Speaker 6: figure out what are the groups? What are the group
Speaker 6: meanings here? And there's overlap, it's not obvious.
Speaker 1: So like one of them, one of the groups, I
Speaker 1: think it was yesterday, was like Charlie hobby like dark
Speaker 1: and you had to guess that it was all things that.
Speaker 2: Could be starting with the word Charlie like.
Speaker 3: Hobby.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I just did the first one. Horsee monc
Speaker 2: spat top hat. I grouped those.
Speaker 1: Things sometimes, oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so wait, they did one that was Jiff.
Speaker 2: And within them, right, oh j I is one of them.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I was like, is this a file name
Speaker 6: that I'm just stupid about?
Speaker 3: Like what is okay?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: What you find?
Speaker 6: And I wanted a double check. But there are some
Speaker 6: people a ka my husband who believe that going out
Speaker 6: of the game into any other source for clarity is cheating.
Speaker 1: I mean it's not, it's however, you want to play
Speaker 1: the game right, Like I, yeah, I do that all
Speaker 1: the time, like crossword puzzles, like.
Speaker 7: Okayeh, cheating.
Speaker 6: He thinks you're what you're supposed.
Speaker 8: To do, just quitting, like you don't know what means
Speaker 8: did your husband graduate like top of his class or something.
Speaker 6: Probably not.
Speaker 2: Oh, it feels like valid, like high schooler.
Speaker 6: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: It feels like that kind of thing.
Speaker 8: It was like I did it the right way and
Speaker 8: no one else did, and it's like, sure, full, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know anything.
Speaker 6: He struggles.
Speaker 2: Oh, and he doesn't like that. Yeah, you'd be shitty
Speaker 2: with me. If I'm shitty, you gotta be shitty too.
Speaker 1: Don't be trying to on your permanent record, right right right?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: Ship, is there no rules in this world?
Speaker 6: It allows you to play the game. Otherwise you just
Speaker 6: sit there stuck.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: But sometime times sometimes I like to put the puzzle
Speaker 1: down and then it pops into my head what the
Speaker 1: answer is?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 6: Sometimes GBT and I just show with the grid and
Speaker 6: I say, what are the answers? And I don't think
Speaker 6: that's cheating, right.
Speaker 3: I don't think it is the game.
Speaker 1: You're just playing the game. Sometimes I go to Google
Speaker 1: and say what are the answers to Today's connection? And
Speaker 1: then I go and impress my seven year old and
Speaker 1: watch his watch.
Speaker 8: Look how fast daddy does it? Aw, you didn't get
Speaker 8: well that's because you're stupid. Okay, if you want me
Speaker 8: to do this new one I haven't seen, give me
Speaker 8: like two seconds.
Speaker 2: I go over to the bathroom really quickly wash my hands.
Speaker 2: He's looking it up in there, idiot, he has no idea.
Speaker 1: I can hear you what you're using.
Speaker 4: Bad words.
Speaker 2: You're using bad words in there. No, I'm washing my hands.
Speaker 1: Wow, kids are great because you can just trick them.
Speaker 3: You can fart on you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 7: Not having to drive? Not having to drive is a
Speaker 7: beautiful fucking thing. And I know, like there are some
Speaker 7: people who live in cities where you don't have to
Speaker 7: drive a lot. I want to talk to you because
Speaker 7: you don't know the other side. You don't know, you
Speaker 7: don't know what it's like to need to have to commute.
Speaker 7: So you're spoiled. And I was spoiled brat once.
Speaker 2: I used to live in Chicago.
Speaker 7: We didn't have to drive in Chicago. But living in
Speaker 7: this concrete jungle called Los Angeles that we live in,
Speaker 7: we have to drive. And man, I love getting rides. Man,
Speaker 7: I love getting rides. I'm telling you now, if somebody
Speaker 7: ever asked me, like you want to drive. My answer
Speaker 7: is going to be no. Yeah, it's going to be no.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say no, you can drive. I'll take the
Speaker 7: passenger seat. I will just sleep. I'll just I'll lean that.
Speaker 7: There's nothing like leaning that chair back on passenger seat,
Speaker 7: putting on some sunglasses, have some music playing, and like,
Speaker 7: you know, only waking up when the person driving has
Speaker 7: to slam on their brakes. Like that's a beautiful fucking thing.
Speaker 2: Because I don't trust other people to drive.
Speaker 1: Like this is my problem with flying too, because I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's just the feeling of not being in control, totally
Speaker 1: a psychological defect on my on my cart. It's not
Speaker 1: it's not a good thing. But yeah, I prefer to
Speaker 1: drive driven.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: See I went.
Speaker 7: I had some shows to San Diego this past weekend
Speaker 7: and I took the train down. I was like, I
Speaker 7: drive and hell yes I watched. I watched WrestleMania on
Speaker 7: the way back.
Speaker 3: It was gorgeous.
Speaker 7: It was a gorgeous evening of commuting that I didn't
Speaker 7: have to do anything.
Speaker 2: And does the train sit there?
Speaker 6: Does the train of San Diego still have that business
Speaker 6: where you have to take a.
Speaker 4: Like a bus for part of it or does it.
Speaker 7: I didn't like I. So what I did was I
Speaker 7: just I I there is a train that comes to
Speaker 7: and from Burbank, which is the town I live in.
Speaker 7: Don't come find me, uh but I but it's like
Speaker 7: the time, so we're.
Speaker 4: Gonna be real hard to find. The black guy in Bourbon.
Speaker 2: Is so hard.
Speaker 7: It's so hard. So I just go to the Union
Speaker 7: station and parks is like seven dollars to park for
Speaker 7: the whole fucking day train there and back.
Speaker 4: They must have fixed it.
Speaker 9: It was at some point during last year, like part
Speaker 9: of the track washed out.
Speaker 7: Oh San Clemente. Yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 9: Not that's not related to that's not related to anything
Speaker 9: about how the globe is changearming.
Speaker 3: Anyway, you're.
Speaker 7: Trying to have fun. Dude, who don't like slides? I
Speaker 7: like the slides?
Speaker 4: Doesn't love month slides?
Speaker 7: Slide, man, I love a mudslide.
Speaker 1: You ever seen Romancing with Stone That she looks fun
Speaker 1: as well?
Speaker 7: She looks great man. Journey to the Center to Earth,
Speaker 7: that seems fun.
Speaker 2: The Coastliner, the.
Speaker 4: You guys have so many mud slide scenes queued up.
Speaker 2: I can't do.
Speaker 1: Goonies kind of more of just a water slide. In
Speaker 1: the earth for some reason.
Speaker 4: Nothing, I got nothing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Coastliner is a blast, highly recommend for anybody
Speaker 1: in LB. And you're about to go to the land
Speaker 1: of convenient train travel.
Speaker 7: By the way, bro, I can't I can't wait to
Speaker 7: get on the bullet train. Man's yeah. I also was
Speaker 7: thinking of something. This is the toxic traits of my brain.
Speaker 7: Have you ever thought like, all right, so like if
Speaker 7: you're standing on a if you're standing on a platform,
Speaker 7: like you see it, you see the train coming, right, yeah,
Speaker 7: And you're like, could I jump from one platform to
Speaker 7: the other and you missed the train? Like, yes, I
Speaker 7: think about that allime.
Speaker 2: We raised on the same movies.
Speaker 7: Man, Yeah, I think I could. Fucking do they just
Speaker 7: think that.
Speaker 1: Was in the movie Entrapman. That's how Sean Connery flirted
Speaker 1: with Catherine Zada Jones. Was he even just jump through
Speaker 1: a train like as a way to just yeah, it's
Speaker 1: so easy.
Speaker 7: It feels it feels easy to me in my brain.
Speaker 7: I'm like, all right, the train is that far? I
Speaker 7: see it coming, see, I see the distance?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 7: If I time it, because because I don't want to
Speaker 7: just jump, I want to jump and have there be
Speaker 7: a hint of peril, Like I want to jump and
Speaker 7: make it. I don't want to just jump when the
Speaker 7: train is like a blockdown street. I want to jump
Speaker 7: and make it. So like I think I think I
Speaker 7: could time it out perfectly and do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: And if I don't, you know, it's been real.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Let me throw this out there for you, Kase.
Speaker 9: Sorry, I got excited, iause. Now I'm hearing another pitch
Speaker 9: for my second business idea of the episode, which is
Speaker 9: just sort of like you know those like like kind
Speaker 9: of like foam gymnastics places for kids. Yeah, one of those,
Speaker 9: but for grown men to do all the toxic shit
Speaker 9: that I probably shouldn't try. So, like like a fake
Speaker 9: train tracks and I guess, like a huge, like fucking
Speaker 9: train two train size blocks of foam that go by
Speaker 9: a thirty miles, just to see if you could jump across. Yeah,
Speaker 9: hells like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Have you ever been walking up the stadium and you
Speaker 1: look back and you're like, I wonder if I could
Speaker 1: jump from here to the court, you know, from the
Speaker 1: top from the top road to the court, Like if
Speaker 1: I could jump far enough out then it wouldn't catch it.
Speaker 1: I know I couldn't, but.
Speaker 7: Like I think if I jumped down, I can like
Speaker 7: jump and like grab the next level, bar down and
Speaker 7: jump and grab the next level. I think I could
Speaker 7: do so much ship. Yeah, yeah, you know what I am.
Speaker 7: I am the Rock and Sam Jackson and other guys
Speaker 7: when they jumped off that fucking buildings like just and
Speaker 7: then I smacked the ground.
Speaker 9: Right bush or like a big a big like fake
Speaker 9: dumpster full of stuff and just like a like I
Speaker 9: didn't know.
Speaker 1: That was medical waste. That was all the used syringes
Speaker 1: jumped into.
Speaker 9: Oh fuck anyway, So yeah, that's just there's gotta be
Speaker 9: some warehouse in like city of industry that we could
Speaker 9: we could host this.
Speaker 3: Oh man, I love that idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I have an overactive call of the void, where like
Speaker 1: anytime I'm like on a building top or just anything,
Speaker 1: my brain there is a big chunk of my brain
Speaker 1: that's like telling me to, you know, do something deadly.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I could touch that.
Speaker 2: I could jump across this street.
Speaker 1: Granted at street level, I would never think I could
Speaker 1: do that, but up here, sure thing easy. What is
Speaker 1: something Ben that you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 10: You know, I historically have a tough time with overrated
Speaker 10: because I don't want to be rude to anybody, but
Speaker 10: I'm gonna say it. So many dietary supplements are absolute bullshit.
Speaker 10: It is ohane, It is insane that we did an
Speaker 10: episode on this for stuff they want you to know recently.
Speaker 10: I can't remember when it comes out, but spoilers, folks.
Speaker 10: The FDA in particular is a sleep at the wheel.
Speaker 3: Totally.
Speaker 1: No, you're getting caffeine and sawdust. That is what you're getting. Whatever,
Speaker 1: What was that?
Speaker 3: When?
Speaker 8: What was that one story we were talking about where
Speaker 8: it's like it may include up to this like it
Speaker 8: was just so all over the place, like formulations or
Speaker 8: it's like, I it.
Speaker 2: Could literally be anything, could be anything that we're taking.
Speaker 8: Vitamin wise, Yeah, wasn't it chewable vitamins or something like,
Speaker 8: oh yeah, yeah vitamins.
Speaker 1: Gummy vitamins are like their gummy candy first second of
Speaker 1: all their gummy bears sprayed with like vitamins, And it
Speaker 1: can be. But it's also true for edibles, like some
Speaker 1: edibles don't have that specific of doses and so you
Speaker 1: have to be really careful. But the same goes for vitamins.
Speaker 1: They basically take some gummy candy and spray it with
Speaker 1: vitamin whatever the vitamins say they are, and like sometimes
Speaker 1: it gets a lot on there and sometimes not so much,
Speaker 1: and they're.
Speaker 8: Sh this was Oh man, it's got like three of
Speaker 8: them on What it's like when you get that one
Speaker 8: dorrito that has all the Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Think that's a great way to think about it. Dorito's.
Speaker 1: You know, Dorito's are mostly like uniform, but sometimes you
Speaker 1: get the one that's just opaque with dust, and sometimes
Speaker 1: they're pretty light. Yeah, you get a little naked naked
Speaker 1: nacho cheese dorito.
Speaker 10: Did you hear, guys? I haven't confirmed this, but I
Speaker 10: heard I swear I read somewhere from the dorrito folks
Speaker 10: that they don't need the dust for the flavoring, and
Speaker 10: that it's like a psychological thing, like it's just part
Speaker 10: of the dorrito experience to have the powder.
Speaker 1: I've like, I've licked the powder off my fingers, and
Speaker 1: my fingers taste like doritos and taste too much like doto's.
Speaker 1: And I bite my fingers.
Speaker 2: It feels like a cornip, a blank corn chip. It's
Speaker 2: not like the flavors like enmeshed within the corn chip. Right,
Speaker 2: I feel like that's like harder to manufacture than than
Speaker 2: printing off a bunch of blank corn chips and then,
Speaker 2: depending on your flavor, dust them accordingly.
Speaker 10: Oh looks like, uh yeah, it looks like I I appreciate. Yeah,
Speaker 10: I'm wrong. It turns out it was a hoax. I
Speaker 10: fell for it if it was a Waffles at noon
Speaker 10: dot com. It turns out that.
Speaker 1: And that is where you get most of your information
Speaker 1: from from dot com.
Speaker 3: Number one source.
Speaker 2: No, no, we gotta take down the Dorito's at man,
Speaker 2: we gotta take it down.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Hey, god, the.
Speaker 1: It sounds like that, like a contract dispute between Gritos
Speaker 1: and whoever their dust supplier is, and they're like, we
Speaker 1: don't need them. We actually don't need them. People like
Speaker 1: the core corn chip just as much as different flavors.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, depending on the severity of your brain injury, it
Speaker 8: could taste like anything. I just like how both Jack
Speaker 8: and I were so fucking passionate that immediately you were.
Speaker 2: Not even checking. I was like, no, fuck you Ben
Speaker 2: the dusting. You were like, how do that ship?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Yeah, because I love watching like how how does she
Speaker 8: get made?
Speaker 2: Type videos? And I love seeing like like whether it's
Speaker 2: like lunch meat or other ship. I'm like, oh gosh,
Speaker 2: lunch beat mad.
Speaker 1: I've always suspected lunch meat is like a slurry that
Speaker 1: like gets.
Speaker 2: It is very processed.
Speaker 8: That's where they say, like eating a lot of processed
Speaker 8: lunch meat is very detrimental, can be very detrimental to
Speaker 8: your health.
Speaker 10: But what if we could just spray vitamins lunch meat?
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 1: Counterpoint being business. Actually it would all end up in
Speaker 1: like the little puddle at the bottom of the lunch beat.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 1: Do love how wet my lunch meat is. I like
Speaker 1: to eat things that are like me, you know, sweaty.
Speaker 10: All right, it's a weird tagline, man, Let's see how
Speaker 10: it goes.
Speaker 1: I like to eat things that are like me, white
Speaker 1: and sweaty. I'm pale and sweaty, like slice.
Speaker 10: Turkey, dietary supplements for bullshit.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh right, right, yeah, right right, all right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back. And
Speaker 1: we're back, and Donald Trump has announced his position on abortion.
Speaker 6: It's just hilarious considering he's forced women to have them.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, of course, he you know, brought this Supreme
Speaker 1: Court into existence that overturned row so.
Speaker 8: I think we know where it stands, right right. Well, look,
Speaker 8: last week we were talking about the Florida abortion ban
Speaker 8: and how like the Florida State Supremes Court was like,
Speaker 8: all right, look man, yeah, we we're gonna go to
Speaker 8: like a six week ban, but also there will be
Speaker 8: a ballot measure where the voters can decide in November
Speaker 8: if they truly want to have no body bodily autonomy
Speaker 8: or any kind of access to healthcare and things like that,
Speaker 8: And a lot of the questions around that were like, well,
Speaker 8: what's Trump gonna do because before he's talked about Ronda Santis'
Speaker 8: like six week ban talk like when Ronda Santis was
Speaker 8: a candidate in the primary. But what now, like, is
Speaker 8: he gonna say I agree, because that's sort of like
Speaker 8: the thing that all the sort of major conservative pundits
Speaker 8: really want and the obviously the evangelicals also want out
Speaker 8: of a president or.
Speaker 2: Would he say abortion is good? Probably not.
Speaker 8: But we got our answer Monday, and it isn't a
Speaker 8: shock to me that like, rather than saying like, we
Speaker 8: will pursue an all out federal ban on abortion, he
Speaker 8: went with the status quo, which is just to be like,
Speaker 8: I think the states should decide, and he did throw,
Speaker 8: you know, a wacky lie out about how Democrats want
Speaker 8: to do post birth executions for good measure, just to
Speaker 8: make that seem extreme, rather than be like, yeah, I
Speaker 8: don't know, whatever you and a doctor decide, that seems reasonable.
Speaker 8: But even though he tried to have like this non
Speaker 8: answer type answer, he still managed to like get abortion
Speaker 8: advocates fucking rightly pissed off because they're pointing out that
Speaker 8: him saying that is just giving the go ahead for
Speaker 8: red states to just do whatever the fuck they want
Speaker 8: to do. But then also at the same time, he
Speaker 8: pissed off the conservatives because they were looking for him
Speaker 8: to be like, I'm god, I will as president pursue
Speaker 8: a federal ban on abortion, and when he didn't do that,
Speaker 8: they're like.
Speaker 2: You fuck you fucked us, you fucked us.
Speaker 8: I think it's I think it's just truly he knows
Speaker 8: how unpopular it is to be anti choice. Yeah, so
Speaker 8: like he is smart enough to know that that isn't
Speaker 8: a popular opinion. So I think what he's trying to
Speaker 8: do again, he just wants to come off as reasonable
Speaker 8: because it's still a doors and maybe he can get
Speaker 8: a few independents and then he can turn to turn
Speaker 8: the dial up as he needs to to, you know,
Speaker 8: get the the evangelicals a little bit more energized to
Speaker 8: go to the polls.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's his.
Speaker 1: MEDA commentary on abortion has always been like, it's very
Speaker 1: stupid to overturn it because some popular But then, right,
Speaker 1: we let him do the meta commentary and then also
Speaker 1: be like, and now he has announced his official position,
Speaker 1: which is just like, you know, it's the horse race coverage.
Speaker 6: I just I want to bring in a new angle
Speaker 6: on this. I think it's really messed up that he
Speaker 6: didn't credit Kim Kardashian for his standpoint.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, wow, yeah.
Speaker 6: Kim Kardashian invented.
Speaker 8: The do you oh oh, I thought Kim Kardashian came
Speaker 8: out as I think it's a state's rights issue.
Speaker 6: What because it's the do you of politics?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 6: I think the states should decide.
Speaker 2: What do you think about Nazis? That's like it's not
Speaker 2: for me, but like do you do you? Do you? Really?
Speaker 2: Do you?
Speaker 6: There was a period of time if you remember when
Speaker 6: people were saying that.
Speaker 1: Right, right, do you think everybody else's robots? Is that?
Speaker 2: How that's the only way that that.
Speaker 3: You do you?
Speaker 2: Wait? So what they are mean?
Speaker 8: Yeah, look, I'm not saying vaccines cause injuries, but do you.
Speaker 6: Should I try a tired pot?
Speaker 2: Do you? Do you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Do you want to?
Speaker 1: I like it as a comprehensive philosophy. You know it works? Yeah,
Speaker 1: makes life so much easier. Yeah, to be Switzerland and
Speaker 1: World War two. I have a good friends who are
Speaker 1: pro genocide. So do you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Do you? And you know, it's just hard. We hang
Speaker 2: out all the time. We don't talk about politics because
Speaker 2: they're so insanely wealthy. But but just do you like,
Speaker 2: It's just I don't want to bring up I don't
Speaker 2: want to bring up like real ideas up when I'm
Speaker 2: trying to bask in my millionaire existence, billionaire existence, whatever
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 6: Multi billionaire.
Speaker 1: The Rock kind of dabbled in this, you know, political
Speaker 1: stance of do you while also saying that the main
Speaker 1: problem that we're facing though is woke cancel culture. So
Speaker 1: he was like, do you But actually the real problem
Speaker 1: is that people are too mean to Jordan Peterson.
Speaker 2: Yeah, The Rock is a shitty guy.
Speaker 3: It turns out, I know it.
Speaker 2: Was happening slowly, slowly, slowly, you know, just slowly revealing
Speaker 2: himself a little bit more, a little bit more.
Speaker 1: I mean the cheat meals was the day giveaway cheat
Speaker 1: meals to be like, yeah, I eat like all you
Speaker 1: little piggies, look at me, I'm young pancakes. But like
Speaker 1: you're not eating them. We can tell you're not anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're you're shaking, sweating, pretending even pretending that you
Speaker 2: want to eat this stuff. But then I remember that
Speaker 2: other one I remember a few years ago. He's like,
Speaker 2: this is my cheat meal and it was like six
Speaker 2: hundred dollars worth of sushi. Yeah, yeah, that one, I believe.
Speaker 8: That feels more to me, like what he would do.
Speaker 8: It's like his cheat meal is like it costs six
Speaker 8: hundred dollars. I eat six hundred dollars of sushi, and
Speaker 8: that he is not out And yeah, chocolate chip.
Speaker 6: Hat, Stanley cup of salt water.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of eel sauce.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I drink a Stanley forty ounce Stanley quincher full
Speaker 8: of eel sauce.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: We also found out something about Trump over the weekend
Speaker 1: when Roseanne went viral Oh my God with a video
Speaker 1: from a GOP fundraiser where she basically said, you know,
Speaker 1: don't go to college.
Speaker 2: Do me a favor.

Speaker 2: Like yeah, like.
Speaker 1: Everyone's amazed. I think she I couldn't tell people were
Speaker 1: amazed by her dancing or by the Trump being the DJ.
Speaker 1: I think they were amazed that someone could take that,
Speaker 1: like eat that many z bars of like dan X
Speaker 1: and drink and still be dancing somehow.
Speaker 8: And I just time fabled here from about two hours
Speaker 8: ago when I swore I asked somebody to take me home.
Speaker 2: But I guess there's a video of me.
Speaker 8: I'm dancing and don't go to college because the Democrats
Speaker 8: would drink your baby and then you will be a
Speaker 8: demon donor.
Speaker 2: How did that.
Speaker 6: Video come about? Like obvious? I feel like somebody at
Speaker 6: Bar a Lago was like Roseanne, come here.
Speaker 2: Was she's so fucked up. Let's get this on camera.
Speaker 2: Y'll get her to send your cousin a fucking thing
Speaker 2: about going to college. Did she'll sell you anything? Right,

Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Earl Grove Australia. I don't know.

Speaker 1: like if I get Roseanne to tell my kid to
Speaker 1: drop out of college, they'll they'll actually they'll call me again.
Speaker 6: I mean, if Republicans stop going to college, college should
Speaker 6: be a much more enjoyable place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not safe for them there. It's not
Speaker 2: safe for them there.
Speaker 6: They really say, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8: You should come by my college. You come by my college.
Speaker 8: I'll teach you all the secrets of looking into directly
Speaker 8: into the sun and putting a you know, a Farrah
Speaker 8: gun massage wand right to your temple and we'll just
Speaker 8: do that stuff to kind of raise our vibration so
Speaker 8: we can break out of the woke paradigm.
Speaker 1: Thank you, yeah, do that too much anxiety, too many
Speaker 1: bad thoughts?
Speaker 3: Give me that, Sarah gun.
Speaker 1: So the big takeaway for a lot of people is
Speaker 1: the idea of Trump moonlighting is a DJ, which Axios
Speaker 1: immediately chased it down. The intrepid reporters at Axios were like, Okay, wait,
Speaker 1: what the fuck? And Trump has apparently been moonlighting as
Speaker 1: the in house DJ at his golf clubs for years.
Speaker 1: And so then we get to which just means he
Speaker 1: has a Spotify playlist that he makes everybody listen to.
Speaker 2: Do you want me to get my DJ? I'm gonna
Speaker 2: get my DJ.
Speaker 8: Let me get my DJ booth And he just gets
Speaker 8: an iPad and you're like a fuck.
Speaker 3: And you know it's an iPad for sure.
Speaker 2: You know it's a fucking iPad.
Speaker 1: Of course it is DJ being a DJ.
Speaker 6: Still like make people likable? Is that what they're going for?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 6: Is that how he connects with the DJ?
Speaker 8: Still DJ? Still got DJ, still got social cache, you
Speaker 8: know what I mean? But you got to actually rock
Speaker 8: a party. That's the only thing.
Speaker 2: You can't just party. You can't pull up and say
Speaker 2: you're a DJ.
Speaker 6: Name goes Miles Miles, Miles, he's rocking the Republican party.
Speaker 2: He can't you rock a party?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 2: Look at me with my eighties idea of being a DJ. Look,
Speaker 2: I was born in.
Speaker 6: The man rock up party?
Speaker 2: Can that young man rock up party?
Speaker 7: Though?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: I mean, ever since I saw we are your Friends,
Speaker 1: I've had a new appreciation for what it means to
Speaker 1: be a DJ. And yes they are cool. I do
Speaker 1: just want to take a brief look at his playlist
Speaker 1: because some ideas.
Speaker 2: All right, what have we got here?
Speaker 1: So he's got Fano of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar,
Speaker 1: Suspicious minds Okay, a little Bit plus Hello by Lionel Ritchie,
Speaker 1: Guns and Roses November Rain Snead O'Connor. Is nothing compares
Speaker 1: to you like playing hello? And nothing compares to you
Speaker 1: at a party?
Speaker 6: Oh my god hates him?
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, I know he has no clue.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, no, well you know that's just like does
Speaker 1: a depressed person like you would if anybody besides Donald
Speaker 1: Trump played fucking nothing compares to you at a party,
Speaker 1: Like everyone would just be like yo, are you?
Speaker 2: Are you right?
Speaker 8: Like right before it's like Jesus Christ Superstar, You're like what.
Speaker 2: The fuck fifteen You're like, oh no.
Speaker 1: I mean it just we've seen before the dictators like
Speaker 1: are all like a lot of the time driven by
Speaker 1: an inner like sad creative like Hitler was a failed artist.
Speaker 1: It's just so funny to realize that Trump is like
Speaker 1: a failed you know, musician comedian DJ. Like that's he's
Speaker 1: just this like sad emo bitch who like wants everybody
Speaker 1: to like feel his feeling. And it's it's so wild
Speaker 1: to me, like we could stop all of this if
Speaker 1: we just made him the host of the Tonight show,
Speaker 1: Like we we could stop it.
Speaker 3: All right, this is.
Speaker 6: All really mess up because they're turning this country into
Speaker 6: the Middle East. And meanwhile, I.
Speaker 2: Can't go home, right, everything about it? Right, he's the
Speaker 2: having such like you know, sad songs. That's that's not
Speaker 2: what I know. But again that's the difference.
Speaker 8: Is it me looking for Oh god, he just we're
Speaker 8: not like it's like it's it's true. But that's why
Speaker 8: I think DJ is a misnomer because you have to
Speaker 8: call it for what it is. It's a fucking narcissist
Speaker 8: with the ox cable.
Speaker 2: That's what it is. And that's my nightmare.
Speaker 8: Is someone like, there's nothing worse than someone who's like,
Speaker 8: has no self awareness and is like, I know what
Speaker 8: the people want musically, You're like, no, dude, you don't
Speaker 8: even know what you don't even know what the fuck
Speaker 8: you want. You don't even know what drives you because
Speaker 8: neither lack of any kind of introspection. And then he
Speaker 8: puts on the Luciano Pavaratti and James Brown duet version
Speaker 8: of It's a Man's Man's Man's World What, and then
Speaker 8: in Tamacho Man by fucking the village Macho Man.
Speaker 1: We've all seen him dance for that one where he
Speaker 1: does the like jerking off two guys hand motion.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's got I'm actually doing you to shake ways,
Speaker 8: actually doing TRICEP isolation workouts.
Speaker 6: Are we really gearing up for another Trump slash presidency?
Speaker 2: Sorry?
Speaker 8: Like I said, if enough people say, hey, November, take
Speaker 8: your time, take your time, take your time. But who knows, Yeah,
Speaker 8: and we might who knows. Maybe we'll be doing this
Speaker 8: podcast in some kind.
Speaker 2: Of political prison in a few years. Hey, you know,
Speaker 2: we'll do it.
Speaker 1: Fun releasing like pigeon, you know, just like mini discs.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just talking to bricks.
Speaker 8: Yeah, talking to bricks or who knows, or maybe the
Speaker 8: Rock will be president and then we'll all have to
Speaker 8: we'll be in our mandated steroid use classes together to
Speaker 8: make sure that we have the strongest army in America
Speaker 8: in the world.
Speaker 6: This is the worst day for me to come off Molly.
Speaker 3: God, the day after Mollie.
Speaker 2: No serotonin, no serotonin us help me.
Speaker 6: Don't worry, folks, I'm pumping and dumping my breast milk.
Speaker 8: Okay, you're like, yeah, but then yeah, never mind.
Speaker 1: Pumping and dumping it down my gullet.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, like, is there any leftover m D
Speaker 2: m A traces of M D M A that you
Speaker 2: could then synthesize? That sounds like a really grim question,
Speaker 2: And just for full disclosure, this is a bit okay,
Speaker 2: so I'm.
Speaker 6: Not asking, Yeah, we're not any of this.
Speaker 2: You're not actually doing Molly and pumping and dumby.
Speaker 3: But you know.
Speaker 6: How hardcore I am about taking care of my baby.
Speaker 6: I would pump and dump my breast milk, not because
Speaker 6: there's traces, but because it might give her reflux.
Speaker 7: On top of the wrong.
Speaker 2: Oh, you know what, shellfish, what do you have to
Speaker 2: what do you eat that that that that causes that
Speaker 2: in the baby specific things. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is very controversial topic, myles, because a lot
Speaker 6: of Elsie's will tell you that these things don't give
Speaker 6: the baby reflux, that actually other things are going on,
Speaker 6: like a tongue tie. But pediatricians book is something in
Speaker 6: the mother's breast milk causing the reflux. They will blame
Speaker 6: your coffee that will put you on a reflux tight
Speaker 6: and then they'll tell you, you know, babies.
Speaker 8: Are just gassy, right, So wait, is there an answer
Speaker 8: that's like, So, it's this thing where like lactation consultants
Speaker 8: and then pediatricians have differing views, and.
Speaker 6: I mean, how are you going to figure it out?
Speaker 6: Because by the time you get down to it, your
Speaker 6: baby's digestive system has developed. You're now past that milestone
Speaker 6: and now they're fine and you don't know what did it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, right right, yeah.
Speaker 1: And also your brain kind of forgets a lot of
Speaker 1: the worst parts of like that first year.
Speaker 6: Yes, but the thing to remember was that you failed
Speaker 6: as a mom, right right, right, yes, yes, forget the
Speaker 6: reason why, just hold on to that.
Speaker 8: There's so much there is so much like fucking like
Speaker 8: pro breast milk sort of propaganda that like, it definitely
Speaker 8: makes anyone who isn't producing enough breashed milk filed completely
Speaker 8: less than because it's.
Speaker 2: Like totally you're not producing. Oh my god, are you?
Speaker 2: Are you? Are you a loving parent? It's like, oh Jesus, dude,
Speaker 2: relax man. People are sucking people. Everyone's body is different.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and if you're just joining us. Sarah is a
Speaker 6: repeat guest who just had a baby a year ago,
Speaker 6: and it's all she talks about.

Speaker 1: they were into when they were.
Speaker 2: Are they like you're lying?
Speaker 8: Dude's Lucy the Sky with Diamonds, Dude, out of here.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back, and okay, guy installed eel
Speaker 1: aquarium in his rain cistern. I just something I don't
Speaker 1: even need to talk about this. I just wanted to
Speaker 1: bring it to your attention, Chris. It seems like a
Speaker 1: cool thing, like an underground eel cave that you can
Speaker 1: just like build into your house. I don't know if
Speaker 1: this jog's anything for you as a fan of weird
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: I'm not that kind of person myself. I'm the kind
Speaker 3: of person who has a clip light and you know,
Speaker 3: milk crate and uh and and you know in the
Speaker 3: YouTube and uh tho, that is my life, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, like in maybe a banana you know,
Speaker 3: on the counter. So there's not a lot happening like
Speaker 3: as far as like decoration or anything for me, So
Speaker 3: the idea of like putting an eel farm in my
Speaker 3: basement is like it just from a labor standpoint, I
Speaker 3: just think about yeah, like I could be I could
Speaker 3: be watching television during that time.
Speaker 1: That was a bit of a try hard. Whereas like
Speaker 1: the people who you kind of pay attention to are
Speaker 1: more people who have a shovel and notice that there's
Speaker 1: a little dip in a field and go and are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: people used to ship there and drop 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 on my ass.
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, yeah, and she'd be right guessing this
Speaker 3: is not. Yeah, like, look at this guy, this guy
Speaker 3: I just met. He has an eel farm in his basement.
Speaker 3: I mean that's not what I ever really wanted. But
Speaker 3: I've been divorced twice, and you know Flip Beckins and
Speaker 3: this guy, I mean, if he has enough money, he
Speaker 3: has enough money. He has enough money to be raising
Speaker 3: a couple of gimps yea, And and he has this
Speaker 3: eel farm. So this guy, I mean, you know, he's
Speaker 3: a driver's instructor, so you.
Speaker 1: Read on this is this guy just built his underground,
Speaker 1: subterranean 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 alway. There's always is the chance
Speaker 1: that this is like to him what the moths are
Speaker 1: to buy.
Speaker 3: Two reasons a man does anything, Yeah, and they're basically
Speaker 3: the same 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. Yes, all right.
Speaker 3: Uh Polly hashtag obtained sex obtain Oh god, fuck?
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 2: on our side.
Speaker 1: We had like a couple months at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the pandemic where New York was like, we're just not
Speaker 1: going to have like cars around, We're going to like
Speaker 1: let people walk around a little bit. And we were like,
Speaker 1: what if they left? And but before we could say
Speaker 1: what if we left, it like that like finished that sentence,
Speaker 1: they had already like let the cars back.
Speaker 2: And 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 designed.
Speaker 1: Is just like a place where you could like walk
Speaker 1: around without being concerned that your child would be like
Speaker 1: pancaked by a fucking muscle car, you know, which is
Speaker 1: like ninety percent of my mind when I'm walking around
Speaker 1: with my kid is like, well, how do I ensure
Speaker 1: that they aren't they don't run into the street and
Speaker 1: get run over by a fucking car. And it's it's
Speaker 1: wild that, you know, we didn't have any saying that.
Speaker 1: It was just like that used to not be the case,
Speaker 1: and then over the past seventy years they were just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's better for commerce, so we're gonna make it so
Speaker 1: you just have to keep your fucking head on a
Speaker 1: swivel at all times in order to get from place
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 3: Side of the highway, on the side of the highway.
Speaker 2: The other side of the highway. So yeah, which with
Speaker 2: all all the you know, motorists will be like, oh shit,
Speaker 2: there's a green stripe on the ground that we no
Speaker 2: one see and yeah, I think that's the vernacular around
Speaker 2: it too can be often misleading when because there's nothing
Speaker 2: better than a protected bike lane. And to your point,
Speaker 2: it'll get rid of less or it'll cause less emissions.
Speaker 2: People are also you're getting around and exercising, like you
Speaker 2: don't have to be going one thousand miles per hour.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, like you get your heart right, you're
Speaker 2: removing your body around a little bit.
Speaker 4: 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 crosstown correct.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if that's.
Speaker 1: Good for you, you'll feel better. It's such a better
Speaker 1: way to like have a civilization. And like this they
Speaker 1: built this shit and now more people commute to work
Speaker 1: in Paris like now as of now, like they they've
Speaker 1: been doing.
Speaker 3: This for the past few years.
Speaker 1: It's like going to get more and more ambitious over
Speaker 1: the next five but as of now, like more people
Speaker 1: are commuting to work on bike than car. And like
Speaker 1: when they started this, that was like unheard, like they
Speaker 1: were like, well, no, like of course not that's you know,
Speaker 1: it's it was 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
Speaker 3: here and uh and just regular people work in the
Speaker 3: service industry. I mean that's the gig economies, the service industry.
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't make enough to pay fourteen hundred
Speaker 3: dollars a month rent doing that, no matter how many
Speaker 3: fucking door dashes you deliver, And so like you need
Speaker 3: sub and people are like, oh, what about if we
Speaker 3: don't we don't want public housing. Look what happened to
Speaker 3: public housing. But that's just like what happened to public housing.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it's like got some crime in it,
Speaker 3: but so does regular housing. And also those people still
Speaker 3: live in Nashville. Otherwise they wouldn't be here. They are
Speaker 3: in public housing and that's why they're here. And uh
Speaker 3: so Paris unfortunately has like you know, hasn't been brainwashed
Speaker 3: like America into thinking like that the cars are in
Speaker 3: the constitution, you know, right, yeah, yeah, because they've been
Speaker 3: around for one thousand, ten thousand years or whatever. We've
Speaker 3: been around for two hundred well you know, in this
Speaker 3: current incarnation a couple three hundred years, you know, and
Speaker 3: it seems like most of the time we've had cars.
Speaker 1: As far as I noticed, think, yeah, I think it
Speaker 1: would work, Like I really think we could just like
Speaker 1: car if it just kept trying at city in cities
Speaker 1: around the US, like just this is so this is
Speaker 1: being done in cities around Europe, and like this mayor
Speaker 1: who has instituted this, like it's a major part of
Speaker 1: her platform and she's so popular that she's running for
Speaker 1: president now like she's like it's been done in London, Milan, Barcelona,
Speaker 1: and those candidates have also gotten like huge marks. It's
Speaker 1: just like an easy way too. I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: not easy in the US, but it is like a
Speaker 1: guaranteed winner if you just do it in your city,
Speaker 1: like because people want like walkable, livable cities where you
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about like just you know, taking
Speaker 1: a step in the wrong direction and being killed. Like
Speaker 1: but we can't, like in the US, like we can't
Speaker 1: do anything about it because we're like captive to I
Speaker 1: don't know, fucking chambers of commerce.
Speaker 3: Like Bruce Brainstein's songs about barefoot girls on the hood
Speaker 3: of a Dodge. Yeah, yeah, exactly, you know which I
Speaker 3: love that song. But you know, there's we're we're just
Speaker 3: brought up to think cars are as American as as
Speaker 3: as apple pie and fucking freedom. And I mean, you're
Speaker 3: not gonna take You're not gonna take my car is
Speaker 3: the same. You'll get the same resistance, Like you're trying
Speaker 3: to take a gun.
Speaker 2: Well, I keep my gun in my car.
Speaker 3: Cars. Yeah, you can't take my cars has got my
Speaker 3: gun in it?
Speaker 1: My guns are well okay, so why don't you show
Speaker 1: me what my gun rack looks like on the back
Speaker 1: of that ten speed.
Speaker 3: It's it's in various saves in my car. It's in
Speaker 3: my car, and very.
Speaker 1: The only walkable city I'm comfortable with is the Walking
Speaker 1: Dead walk.
Speaker 3: Yes, cars in general. Let's just like cars in general
Speaker 3: were a terrible idea. Like the whole idea. It was
Speaker 3: a bad idea. It's just that nobody, everybody likes them
Speaker 3: and that's the problem. So they just like them. So
Speaker 3: that's the you know, but really big picture, cars were
Speaker 3: a terrible idea. And I'm gonna say one thing real
Speaker 3: quick because I know we're running out of time, But
Speaker 3: I want to say, there's this documentary called My Architect on.
Speaker 2: Criteria promoted humans again, like you forgot that you ever
Speaker 2: talked about.
Speaker 3: Or didn't wish I would have the greatest episode ever.
Speaker 3: But I said that also, I so want to interject
Speaker 3: humans don't. I don't know the name of it. Go
Speaker 3: to YouTube put it in HUMANSI there's probably a bunch
Speaker 3: of stuff that comes up. I can't remember. It says
Speaker 3: cy on it. I don't know what channel that was,
Speaker 3: but a sci fi maybe.
Speaker 2: S C I do we talk about this. I'm fifty five,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 4: So uh.
Speaker 3: I just wanted to say that there's this this documentary
Speaker 3: called My Architect, and it's about this architect named Louis Kahan.
Speaker 3: But it's about his son who didn't know him because
Speaker 3: his dad had three different families that didn't know about
Speaker 3: each other. And his dad was five ft six into,
Speaker 3: severely burnt as a child in Estonia, and he came
Speaker 3: to America and became this He didn't hit his stride
Speaker 3: as an artist until he was fifty one, which I like.
Speaker 3: And I'm already kicking his ass. You are so so
Speaker 3: he he he designed these buildings, He designed the capital
Speaker 3: of Bangladesh, and anyway, he was a terrible dad. But
Speaker 3: it's this beautiful documentary about Nathaniel Khan. But Khan is
Speaker 3: not his real name. Is he changed his He was Jewish.
Speaker 3: He changed his name in the early his father changed
Speaker 3: his name in the twenties or something. But anyway, Louis
Speaker 3: Khan is the architect. Anyway, his idea for Philadelphia, and
Speaker 3: that's why I thought of it. He lived grew up
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia after he came from Estonia, and he wanted
Speaker 3: to He was one of the architects that he had
Speaker 3: a huge proposal for downtown Philadelphia and it was to
Speaker 3: have cars all left outside the city. And this is
Speaker 3: in and he was laughed out of town and everybody said, oh,
Speaker 3: you know these William F. Buckley types. And one of
Speaker 3: whom's in the documentary is still angry about it. He's like,
Speaker 3: he wanted to leave the cars outside of town. Fucking idiot,
Speaker 3: you know, like we have the cars in town in
Speaker 3: this country, in this country, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So I don't know who this fucking guy thinks he is.
Speaker 3: But anyway, and it was just so interesting because he
Speaker 3: was right. The idea was that there would be these
Speaker 3: giant car parks or like you know, like a car
Speaker 3: garage just that we're also kind of beautiful that he
Speaker 3: built all around the city. Everybody would walk from them
Speaker 3: into the city.
Speaker 1: So there would do you know, cars, it's just waiting
Speaker 1: there for some somebody to put it together and become
Speaker 1: incredibly popular. But it's it's just wild that like that
Speaker 1: that would be so popular with young people, it'd be
Speaker 1: popular with with the elderly who like can't really drive
Speaker 1: at this point. But it's like that mainstream money making
Speaker 1: commerce you know, Albatross like it. There's gotta be a
Speaker 1: like if one city pulls it off, like it will
Speaker 1: become such a like tourist hotspot. Like I would just
Speaker 1: like go there all the time just to like experience
Speaker 1: a city without cars. 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 3: It's incredible. And they have like an Eiffel Tower that
Speaker 3: she sparks out of it and stuff. Yeah, growth, stunning, stunning.
Speaker 3: That's why we should have elected Caruso.
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, that's gonna do it for this
Speaker 1: week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please like and review the show if
Speaker 1: you like. The show means the world de Miles he
Speaker 1: he needs your validation, folks. I hope you're having a
Speaker 1: great weekend, and I will talk to him Monday.
Speaker 3: By
