Speaker 2: the fucking end. That's the last part I told you.
Speaker 2: Please stick with. The script is very easy to follow
Speaker 2: along with at the end.
Speaker 1: My mistake before we think that order I gotta I
Speaker 1: gotta do is just just some quick updates. But we've
Speaker 1: been saying this at the top of every show.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Starting pretty soon, we're gonna be starting uh a little
Speaker 1: trying out a new publication schedule in the summer. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna have eight episodes a week.
Speaker 3: Worry not.
Speaker 1: There will still be eight episodes a week, but the
Speaker 1: difference being is there will only be one Friday episode
Speaker 1: and one Monday episode. Then starting Tuesday through Friday, whatever
Speaker 1: you or, Tuesday through Thursday, you're gonna get your whole
Speaker 1: two episodes a day. But it allows us to take
Speaker 1: a pause for a second because we've been doing this
Speaker 1: like NonStop, so we can kind of do like new
Speaker 1: stuff and kind of keep things fresh, you know, Jack
Speaker 1: and I want to keep the relationship fresh.
Speaker 2: So we're doing this not just for you, but for
Speaker 2: as well, so we appreciate. I think the three hundred
Speaker 2: and forty episodes you were doing a week actually was
Speaker 2: not enough. I think you're going in the wrong direction.
Speaker 2: A lot of people said that. Some people my dms
Speaker 2: were asking, They're like, what about more shows? And I
Speaker 2: was like, I don't know if I have the bandwidth
Speaker 2: to do that already, but anything without your listeners, but
Speaker 2: go Ahead's true. No ziking makes this thing happen, so
Speaker 2: we appreciate you. So yeah, it'll be fun time. So
Speaker 2: we're gonna have some new kind of stuff going on,
Speaker 2: and I think you're gonna like it. But but fuck
Speaker 2: all that. Okay, let's get to the guest today. Whatever,
Speaker 2: it's just a chaos filled episode. Allow me to bring
Speaker 2: in the advice king. The mister cold Brew got me
Speaker 2: like the foremost I don't know expert on YouTube and
Speaker 2: everything esoteric. I feel like you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And also, are you running for office?
Speaker 3: Do I have that role? Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, well bring it in future local politician Chris.
Speaker 3: Kroft on what's up? You think I'm gonna be crazy today?
Speaker 3: You're wrong. I'm a politician now, I mean out both sides?
Speaker 3: What about both sides?
Speaker 2: Chris?
Speaker 1: Since last ye were on, I've seen that you were
Speaker 1: filing the the relevant documents to run for office locally
Speaker 1: in Nashvilles.
Speaker 3: Yes, so I moved back to Nashville at the end
Speaker 3: of September and I went, well, whatever, I went here,
Speaker 3: I was here and then I live in Madison.
Speaker 2: How did you get there? Already?
Speaker 3: Be a very boring segment. The man I was hoping
Speaker 3: going to talk about metal detecting again. So I moved
Speaker 3: to Madison, which is like where it's all vape shops
Speaker 3: and pay day loan places, you know, and so it's
Speaker 3: not New Nashville. So it's like this New Nashville. You know,
Speaker 3: everybody's like, you know, it's the Lollipop Forest and all
Speaker 3: that ship. So I moved to this part of town
Speaker 3: where the roads are all well like wagon tracks, right,
Speaker 3: I said wagon tracks. I went down to the city
Speaker 3: council and I said wagon tracks to him, like times
Speaker 3: real loud, and and so anyway.
Speaker 2: The roads here shan't by the way, I think that's
Speaker 2: there's can we help?
Speaker 3: The roads here a trashed?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: So the roads here a trashed.
Speaker 2: It's like a bunch.
Speaker 3: There's no public transportation of any note. It's humiliating to
Speaker 3: wait for the bus. You just stand in like some weeds.
Speaker 3: It's fucking horrible. So we got one neighborhood up here
Speaker 3: that's like four feet out of Lollipop Town. There's New Nashville.
Speaker 3: You know. Where I'm up from Nashville. I'm like ten
Speaker 3: minutes up the road, you know. And this is much
Speaker 3: more real in the sense of it's much more poor,
Speaker 3: right and you know real meaning like just working class people.
Speaker 3: I mean real meaning you don't like it, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like real is supposed to be. You know.
Speaker 3: It's I like it because it reminds me of old
Speaker 3: Nashville before it had like hot and cold running like
Speaker 3: micro bruiser or whatever the fuck and and anyway, so
Speaker 3: I'm like up here and I'm like, Okay, the roads
Speaker 3: here trashed. There's a homeless encampment in the woods. There's
Speaker 3: like and then there's just Nashville like which is just
Speaker 3: booming with and they're just keep putting up these luxury
Speaker 3: hotels and things. So I was like they So the
Speaker 3: big thing was they they said the Titans of course,
Speaker 3: threatened to leave if they don't get a new stadium,
Speaker 3: which is what NFL teams do, you know, And nobody
Speaker 3: can say no to them because like you know, because
Speaker 3: or something. Yeah, they'll go crazy, like the whole world
Speaker 3: will go crazy, you know what I mean. Like it's like,
Speaker 3: you know, you can't say no to the Titans. But
Speaker 3: I also think you should say no to the Titans
Speaker 3: when they do this to you, which is they asked
Speaker 3: for a new stadium. And they cut a deal where
Speaker 3: we give Nashville. The city gives like seven hundred million
Speaker 3: dollars to the to the stadium, but it's even more
Speaker 3: than that. But there's like seven hundred million dollars in
Speaker 3: tax dollars going to the NFL. When we got people
Speaker 3: full of kratom standing in the weeds waiting for the
Speaker 3: bus that comes erratically, like there's no there's there's there's
Speaker 3: traffic here this place. I used to live here when
Speaker 3: it was empty, and I don't I don't expect it
Speaker 3: to be empty. Like when I moved here in two
Speaker 3: thousand and one, there was nobody here, and I understand
Speaker 3: that's not sustainable, but I liked it because you could
Speaker 3: just go around and rock them. You know, you could
Speaker 3: just have to add my band and you just pay
Speaker 3: two hundred dollars a month rent. You get drunk and
Speaker 3: you tell everybody what's what. That's a great town to me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but that you know, that's not you know, people eventually
Speaker 3: will catch on to the rent being like two hundred
Speaker 3: dollars and then people come here.
Speaker 1: Right, So, like growth is fine, but like we just
Speaker 1: have yeah, let's have the wealth distributed properly. So everybody
Speaker 1: is benefiting from it, right, what I was saying, trickle
Speaker 1: down the wealth, I think it's what miles, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we need to give more money to people at
Speaker 3: the top. It's not falling down fast enough.
Speaker 2: Thank you, So more gravity up top.
Speaker 3: It'll they're not stacking enough money at the top because
Speaker 3: it will not come down. It's like one of those
Speaker 3: machines at the gas station where they have like the pennies.
Speaker 2: You know what you're saying. You push, If you push
Speaker 2: harder on the gas pump, lever, more gas comes up faster. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like a platform.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like yeah, it's like if you don't squeeze
Speaker 3: hard enough of the gas station.
Speaker 2: It's the same thing.
Speaker 3: So so anyway, I went down to the stadium hearing
Speaker 3: and I don't know if you guys have or the
Speaker 3: audio from it. I have it. You know you can
Speaker 3: hear it. I just I could play it. I don't.
Speaker 3: It's two minutes long, but it's me yelling at not
Speaker 3: yelling because I'm running for real, that's one thing. I'm
Speaker 3: running for Metro Council at large History office, meaning it's
Speaker 3: not tied to a particular district, So I'm running at large,
Speaker 3: all of Davidson County. There's five selected, there's twenty one
Speaker 3: people running, and I'm not doing this as a stunt.
Speaker 3: And I just I went down to the stadium and
Speaker 3: I and I thought I was gonna wait to watch
Speaker 3: this the proceedings. They were deciding whether to approve the
Speaker 3: stadium and the stadium deal and it was already done.
Speaker 3: Like the activists had to get like had to be
Speaker 3: activists just to get a hearing. But then the hearing
Speaker 3: was like everybody's sort of like I can't even it's
Speaker 3: too long a story. But one side of the hall
Speaker 3: was people wearing loafers, Gucci loafers of no socks for real,
Speaker 3: and the other side was like all black. I mean,
Speaker 3: it was like it was like white and black.
Speaker 7: It was.
Speaker 3: It was not that extreme, but it was like the
Speaker 3: white eight people in the fleece vests and the fucking
Speaker 3: loafers with no socks just got up and said, we
Speaker 3: want a stadium because it's fun and we can smoke
Speaker 3: cgars in it. And then a bunch of people of color,
Speaker 3: teachers like regular people got up and made good points
Speaker 3: and they sided with the guys who want to smoke cigars.
Speaker 3: And it was to see that. If it was not,
Speaker 3: it would have made me mad if there wasn't taxpayer
Speaker 3: money involved, just the attitude, but the fact that they
Speaker 3: were giving away tax money. And it was like very
Speaker 3: stark because I don't know why there was like weird
Speaker 3: intimidation things happening. The reason I know why you could
Speaker 3: tell the difference in color between the people who are
Speaker 3: pro stadium and anti stadium was because they divided us.
Speaker 3: When we got there. You had to get in a
Speaker 3: line that said pro and a line that said against,
Speaker 3: which I already thought was weird. But I got up
Speaker 3: and I didn't even thought. They said, well, you can't
Speaker 3: go into sit because the Titans already paid a ton
Speaker 3: of people to be here, and they all filled the
Speaker 3: place already. They had a picnic. The Titans had a
Speaker 3: picnic for people in the afternoon to.
Speaker 2: Be That's how you warm up for activism is with
Speaker 2: a light lightweard yea what it was a.
Speaker 3: Week day, so they it was whoever got there first
Speaker 3: got to speak for two hours. So the pro stadium
Speaker 3: people got two hours, and then a bunch of people
Speaker 3: Anti stadium people had like kids and stuff. Regular people
Speaker 3: had to go home so anyway, I got in there
Speaker 3: and I just I didn't I just wanted I realized
Speaker 3: they were going to pass it. So I just said,
Speaker 3: this is socialism, not because I hate socialism.
Speaker 2: Of course.
Speaker 3: The first person that came at me was a liberal saying, you,
Speaker 3: why do you got to put down socialism? And I
Speaker 3: was like, I'm not putting down socialism, saying socialism to
Speaker 3: these people because they don't they think corporate peak capitalism.
Speaker 3: They think it's peak capitalism because the NFL is involved.
Speaker 3: So they're like NFL's capitalism, but you're giving them tax
Speaker 3: payer money. Doesn't matter NFL, you know. And so I
Speaker 3: was just there to say, I said, it was like
Speaker 3: putting up a gold statue of Stalin. I said, I
Speaker 3: said it was. I said it was. I said crazy
Speaker 3: shit because I wanted to say stuff in that chamber
Speaker 3: that they had not heard. But I mainly got to
Speaker 3: say this is corruption and you guys know it. And
Speaker 3: it felt so good because when I do stand up,
Speaker 3: all I do is complain about corruption, well not all,
Speaker 3: and I also do joke about how people who smoke
Speaker 3: pot of mustard on their pants, but they but you know,
Speaker 3: I got, Yeah, you can't just get up there and
Speaker 3: talk about the division of wealth. But anyway, so it
Speaker 3: was like a very it was an amazing moment for
Speaker 3: me because I realized, oh, wait, this is like doing
Speaker 3: stand up but for people who don't want to hear it, Like, well,
Speaker 3: that's not that different either, So I know it's not that.
Speaker 3: But but hearing saying this stuff about, you know, corruption
Speaker 3: to people who are actually doing the corruption felt good.
Speaker 3: And so then I thought, why should run for office?
Speaker 3: And then I mean the amount of support I've had
Speaker 3: has been just absolutely amazing. People have been like, yes,
Speaker 3: so you'll see, well, I just want to be a
Speaker 3: nice guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I look, Hey, for those of you that are able,
Speaker 1: you know, check out Chris Crofton's campaign running for the
Speaker 1: at large District.
Speaker 3: Metro Council at large Nasville, Tennessee. You can go to
Speaker 3: vote Blue and I'm raising money there. I haven't got
Speaker 3: my account all the way set up, so you know,
Speaker 3: don't go there, your don't go there. Don't go there
Speaker 3: for a little while. Go go there in a couple
Speaker 3: of days.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well I'm not gonna be yeah when you launch
Speaker 1: your uh your fundraising arm, all right, Chris, We're gonna
Speaker 1: somehow get to know you even better than that.
Speaker 2: But first, let's tease.
Speaker 1: Some of the stories we may get to not even sure,
Speaker 1: may might not even be worth saying what we might
Speaker 1: talk about, because I know this is gonna be wide ranging.
Speaker 1: We're gonna obviously talk about Ron DeSantis' Twitter campaign announcement
Speaker 1: because it was a fucking disasterre of hell disorder.
Speaker 2: You'd love to see that.
Speaker 1: And we might even talk about how Winnie the Pooh
Speaker 1: is gonna save Texas school children from mass shootings.
Speaker 2: Not sure how that's gonna work.
Speaker 1: And also the new Barbie movie finally did what the
Speaker 1: fans wanted, which was include Aqua's Barbie Girl track in
Speaker 1: the trailer. The cowards have finally done it, so we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that, and also just the background between that
Speaker 1: song and matel because apparently that might be sort.
Speaker 2: Of the source of the tension between the film and
Speaker 2: that song not being used. But obviously, fuck all that, Chris,
Speaker 2: give this all.
Speaker 1: What's something from your search history that's revealing about who
Speaker 1: you are?
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I've kind of you guys know this a
Speaker 3: little well. I don't know if you know this or not,
Speaker 3: but people who listen to my podcast Colebrew got me, like,
Speaker 3: may know a little bit about this guy. I don't
Speaker 3: know if you guys know aj Weberman familiar with aj Weberman.
Speaker 3: I'm not Garbology?
Speaker 2: Does that?
Speaker 3: Does that ring a bell?
Speaker 2: Is that the study of trash? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well he invented the name of it, and he's like
Speaker 3: very fired up about it. It's or his friends he name.
Speaker 2: Well, this guy looks like he's into garbology.
Speaker 3: He is that coming from you guys?
Speaker 2: That honking? Or is that on my street? I think
Speaker 2: it's in your brain.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you.
Speaker 2: Don't even hear it.
Speaker 3: Okay, it doesn't matter. Okay, thank you, thank you right
Speaker 3: for your support.
Speaker 2: I was making a joke. Okay, actually what garbology is?
Speaker 3: Well, no, it's a made up word by aj Weberman.
Speaker 3: Aj Weberman. It was a guy who was obsessed with
Speaker 3: Bob Dylan and he went through Bob Dylan's trash most
Speaker 3: famously and like actually found some ship that was like
Speaker 3: pretty interesting when Bob Dylan lived in New York before
Speaker 3: he moved to Malibu, and so this is the like
Speaker 3: seventy one seventy and I think Bob was like kind
Speaker 3: of interested in this guy, Like they would run into
Speaker 3: the West Village at that time was a pretty small community,
Speaker 3: so he would they would run into each other and
Speaker 3: and I think maybe Bob thought for a minute that
Speaker 3: he needed aj Weberman to like connect him to the
Speaker 3: street or something, because he had, you know, he'd already
Speaker 3: gone through his London, you know, his tour of England,
Speaker 3: you know, which they made the great movie Don't Look
Speaker 3: Back about, where he had wild hair and was on speed,
Speaker 3: and then he like had his motorcycle accident and which
Speaker 3: many people think was an excuse just for him to
Speaker 3: recover from speed and to like go to Woodstock and
Speaker 3: try and get healthy and then, you know, but then
Speaker 3: all his fans were mad because he was this revolutionary
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden he put out in
Speaker 3: Nashville Skyline, which was like an instrumental record kind of
Speaker 3: like him singing like, you know, out of nowhere. His
Speaker 3: fans were like, what the fuck, because they'd already like
Speaker 3: invested in, like, you know, whatever people thought they needed
Speaker 3: for revolution. They already had supplies and shit, you know,
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, Bob Dill's like so
Speaker 3: they were like, oh my god, you fucking sell out
Speaker 3: piece of shit. And that was aj Weberman. He was like,
Speaker 3: you abandoned the revolution. So he ran into Dylan on
Speaker 3: the street and he he just had a conversation with him.
Speaker 3: But it turns out he has like a photographic memory
Speaker 3: or something. So he wrote down every word that Dylan
Speaker 3: said to him on the street, and he's like, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna publish this in underground newspapers. He also had Dylan's
Speaker 3: phone number because Dylan gave it to him and hung
Speaker 3: out with him for a brief period. But he was
Speaker 3: so he's like, I'm going to publish these interviews. And
Speaker 3: Dylan's like, man, those weren't interviews. I was just talking
Speaker 3: to you on the street. Those aren't interviews. And he's like, well,
Speaker 3: they're interviews to me. I told him I wrote him down.
Speaker 3: This guy's got something wrong with him a little. You know,
Speaker 3: he's smart, but he's also got something wrong with him.
Speaker 3: I would probably say, he well, I don't know what's
Speaker 3: the matter with him.
Speaker 2: It down from memory and calling it an interview is
Speaker 2: such a superpower.
Speaker 3: Tom. He's calling him from payphones to talk about this
Speaker 3: because this is before cell phones, you know, So he's
Speaker 3: calling Bob Dylan pay Bob Dylan's talking him for half
Speaker 3: an hour. But it turns out he's recording Bob Dylan
Speaker 3: talking and he's explaining to Bob Dylan, I'm gonna use
Speaker 3: these interviews, and Bob Dylan's going not, Man, those weren't interviews.
Speaker 3: Stop calling him interviews. It was a conversation, you know.
Speaker 3: And he was telling Bob Dylan what he said, and
Speaker 3: Bob Dylan actually was saying, like I said that. He's like,
Speaker 3: what does that mean? So Bob Dylan, you get the
Speaker 3: closest picture of Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan's insecure as hell.
Speaker 3: He did not want these, he was like, anyway, so
Speaker 3: you get to see this side of Bob Dylan. That's
Speaker 3: kind of amazing. And you get a guy who's not
Speaker 3: intimidated by Bob Dylan. So he's calling Bob Dylan a
Speaker 3: pig and a sellout and stuff. It's incredible. Anyway, I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna play a little bit of it. Where's my
Speaker 3: fucking phone here? It is. It's so good. It's so good.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you don't like Bob Dylan, it doesn't
Speaker 3: even matter, because it's just a showdown between to be
Speaker 3: able to talk to Bob Dylan without fear you have
Speaker 3: to have something wrong with you. Let's put it that way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Boby DYLI took it, but I get that generationally,
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'll fucking I'll pull up to Bob Dylan
Speaker 2: and Jacob Dylan.
Speaker 3: I don't. Yeah, now it doesn't matter. People are always
Speaker 3: righting out, choking out Bob Dylan, but right and left
Speaker 3: these days. So uh, here's him talking about. This is
Speaker 3: an excerpt from his phone call talking about Bob Dylan's albums,
Speaker 3: Nashville Skyline and the one that followed it that everybody
Speaker 3: hated to, which was Self Portrait. Both of them were
Speaker 3: like one was a covers album, Self Portrait and the
Speaker 3: other was just like lay Lady, which is a great song,
Speaker 3: but it's not you know, the Lonesome Death of Hattie
Speaker 3: Carroll or whatever you know. I mean, it's like a
Speaker 3: different a tone change from like letting blown in the wind,
Speaker 3: you know, Let's go, you know, Master's Reward, all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, big deal, so big difference here we go.
Speaker 7: And then I told him that National Skylines talked about
Speaker 7: self Fortune was just th reportion. So many people played
Speaker 7: played at once and understood.
Speaker 3: Okay, he said. So then I told him. He's reading,
Speaker 3: he's reading, he's reading his transcript to Bob Dylan on
Speaker 3: the phone, and he said, so, then I told him
Speaker 3: Nashville Skyline sucked and Self Portrait was a Stone ripoff,
Speaker 3: and Bob and he said, and Bob Dylan said that
Speaker 3: you said that there were two good songs on only
Speaker 3: two good songs on Self Portrait. And then Bob Dylan says,
Speaker 3: there's more than two good songs on there. Man, I
Speaker 3: know I said that, but there's more than two good
Speaker 3: songs on there. And that's that's just the part.
Speaker 2: I like, here you go.
Speaker 7: And then I told him that Nashville Skylines talked about
Speaker 7: self Fortuite was his Stone rib fortion. So many people
Speaker 7: played played it once and tuck it on their show,
Speaker 7: either album related to object your reality doesn't find Quietly,
Speaker 7: we're all with two good shows on Self Portraits played nine.
Speaker 3: Copt and you know you don't have.
Speaker 7: To change it, but I'll pay you more than two.
Speaker 3: The more than two okay, Well if that didn't work out,
Speaker 3: you guys, and I'm gonna turn.
Speaker 2: My mic off. Was Chris's plug section. Actually that's what
Speaker 2: he wanted to promote, is a j Weberman Center.
Speaker 3: Go listen to a J.
Speaker 2: Webber.
Speaker 3: There's also a two thousand and six documentary on YouTube
Speaker 3: right now about aj Weberman. It was a BBC I
Speaker 3: guess sanctioned documentary. It's about aj Weberman and his friends
Speaker 3: who all got left behind by Dylan. They all took
Speaker 3: acid and thought there was gonna be a revolution and
Speaker 3: they all ended up just zonked out of their minds
Speaker 3: and Bob Dylan moved to Malibu, which I think is
Speaker 3: a big, big picture. I did want to tie that
Speaker 3: into what we're all dealing with, is like, oh, the
Speaker 3: sixties people, you know, the sixties people that promised a
Speaker 3: lot and then just stole all the money instead, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and left a bunch of true believers in their wake.
Speaker 3: And that's where aj Weberman's on the right track, because
Speaker 3: he's saying to Dylan, Man, he's like the fuck, because
Speaker 3: Dylan's like, I don't have to answer for anything I wrote,
Speaker 3: and He's like, well, yeah, you do because a lot
Speaker 3: of people believed it, you know, and that means that
Speaker 3: you are responsible. Me and all my friends are all
Speaker 3: acid casualties who thought we were having a revolution, and
Speaker 3: now you're moving to Malibu and Bob Dylan I think
Speaker 3: for a minute was interested in that message. He's like, hmm,
Speaker 3: that's interesting. But then he ended up attacking Aj Weberman.
Speaker 3: He rode up on a bicycle and attacked AJ Webman
Speaker 3: beat him up. And that was the last time I.
Speaker 2: Talked abou in the city instead of oh yeah, so
Speaker 2: a compromise.
Speaker 3: AJ Weberman's friend who's so impressed that AJ ever knew
Speaker 3: Bob Dylan. So he has like a posse just from
Speaker 3: Ever talking to Bob Dylan. So AJ Weberman's accid casualty
Speaker 3: friend he goes, well, AJ had a relationship with him,
Speaker 3: though AJ had a relationship, and Agy goes, well, I
Speaker 3: didn't really have a relationship with him, and he goes
Speaker 3: he goes, I knew him for a minute. And then
Speaker 3: his acid casualty friend goes, you can't unring.
Speaker 1: That bell there you go. I like that, you definitely can't. Uh,
Speaker 1: here's a bell, Chris that I want you to ring.
Speaker 1: What's something that's overrated NFL stadiums. NFL stadiums are for
Speaker 1: the one percent. If there's no middle class, there's just
Speaker 1: a giant cigar bar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, truly. The Tennessee Titans rushing game, that's what that's what?
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, and that's the other thing is like I
Speaker 3: don't I mean, technically, you could take all the football
Speaker 3: stadiums and fucking throw them in the ocean as far
Speaker 3: as I'm turned, because all I got, all I care
Speaker 3: about is fucking weirdos yelling at Bob Dylan. So you
Speaker 3: know that's not that's seriously. But I mean, if someone
Speaker 3: shakes you down, like if the NFL says we get
Speaker 3: a new stadium or else, the correct response when you
Speaker 3: have no streets and you have torn up streets and
Speaker 3: bad education and homeless camps in the woods, then you say.
Speaker 1: And it'll never happen. They'll never say no, no, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you'll never say no happens everywhere. It happened in Inglewood
Speaker 1: with Sofi Stadium. The Kronkys have a real track record
Speaker 1: of that, like Saint Louis people saying, they'll tell you
Speaker 1: the same thing, like, look what they did by taking
Speaker 1: all of these subsidies to build the fucking stadium while
Speaker 1: parts of the city are crumbling. Yeah, it's like it's
Speaker 1: just like the Arsenal. Also, yeah, the Arsenal. Yeah, who
Speaker 1: are they? The Kronky family. They own like every Denver
Speaker 1: Sports team.
Speaker 2: The guy.
Speaker 1: The guy owns a construction company. His wife is a
Speaker 1: Walton of Walmart.
Speaker 3: We should outlaw construction companies too.
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean this guy like the amounts of money.
Speaker 3: Nothing I don't get delivered on any of them.
Speaker 1: I don't they a ton of money because he's married
Speaker 1: to Walmart money and basically being like every Walmart we build,
Speaker 1: we'll use your company, honey, and keep all the money
Speaker 1: in the family and then just double just over and
Speaker 1: over and over again.
Speaker 3: Marjorie Taylor Green is the is the daughter of a
Speaker 3: construction million billion not billionaire, but millionaire, I mean margin
Speaker 3: and Taylor Green is funded. The reason she's able to
Speaker 3: run around with no job unless you can't which plan
Speaker 3: is the job? Is she's rich in construction. Yeah, construction
Speaker 3: needs to be outlawed.
Speaker 2: Thank you only destruction, Yeah, destruction, legalized destruction.
Speaker 3: I want to hear about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. What's the mean?
Speaker 7: Thing?
Speaker 2: Is underrated?
Speaker 3: The middle class? The middle class, It's on my mind.
Speaker 3: It's the missing piece. We don't talk about it. We
Speaker 3: keep acting like if there's not a discussion of the
Speaker 3: lack of a middle class, then everything makes sense, everything
Speaker 3: makes sense. Where did the middle class go. They went crazy.
Speaker 3: That's where they went. They shot, they shot, they bought guns.
Speaker 3: They ended up on opiates. Their towns are abandoned and
Speaker 3: boarded up. Anyone who's driven across the country can see
Speaker 3: every town in the middle of the country that used
Speaker 3: to have a marching band in at Elks Lodge is
Speaker 3: now boarded up. Where did those people go? They went crazy,
Speaker 3: That's where they went. They went fucking crazy. They became QAnon,
Speaker 3: they became shooters, they became all the middle class is
Speaker 3: is what this country. The only reason this country has stability.
Speaker 3: I mean, you take away someone's economic security and you
Speaker 3: make them a nut. Poverty is the ultimate radicalizer. That's
Speaker 3: not my quote, but that's it. So it's so dumb
Speaker 3: to talk about the symptoms of all this crime. Roots
Speaker 3: are growing up. Things would mental health crisis. Where's the
Speaker 3: mental health christ coming from? All the people that used
Speaker 3: to have jobs. That's where all people used to have
Speaker 3: jobs that weren't five dollars an hour. Fucking putting Jeff
Speaker 3: Bezos's underwear in a box.
Speaker 2: If someone wants to edit part my response to this
Speaker 2: question from yesterday to Chris's What's Underrated Today? Where virus.
Speaker 2: Sponse was watch a TV show in the middle of
Speaker 2: the days.
Speaker 3: Take a break.
Speaker 2: You're out here being like the middle class is fucking vanished.
Speaker 2: It's since the steady War, since the late sixties.
Speaker 3: What really told me, like it's just that that stadium
Speaker 3: thing was really part of it. Was just like they
Speaker 3: kind of try and act like this is a working
Speaker 3: class experience, like it's the Pittsburgh Steelers in nineteen seventy two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how much is the season ticket?
Speaker 3: You know, I don't even know. I know, like the
Speaker 3: games are like two hundred dollars tickets or I mean.
Speaker 2: You can yeah, NFL tickets are insane.
Speaker 3: You cannot get. So this is not what they're selling
Speaker 3: it as they're selling it as like with this smoking
Speaker 3: mirrors thing. There's still a middle class, and there's still
Speaker 3: a bunch of working class people that don't even exist
Speaker 3: because they're all the working class people are, you know whatever,
Speaker 3: they're not. There's not a working class necessarily. It's a
Speaker 3: service class. It's a service class. There's a bunch of
Speaker 3: of people working for low wages in customer service. Rich
Speaker 3: people service job right anyway, So those people are not
Speaker 3: going to the game. They don't have the money. So
Speaker 3: this is really just a social club for wealthy people,
Speaker 3: and they are using this cartoon while the NFL is
Speaker 3: working class because they're talking about when there was a
Speaker 3: manufacturing industry and then people really did go to the
Speaker 3: games and wear undershirts and drink beer and whatever, smoke
Speaker 3: big cigarettes.
Speaker 1: Whatever they did smoking big cigarettes.
Speaker 2: Hand me my big sig, Honey, I'm going to the game.
Speaker 3: Back to the day when people could safely have a
Speaker 3: you know, you could be an alcoholic and a heavy
Speaker 3: smoker and have a good job with.
Speaker 1: Benefits exactly, and you could smoke in an.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Like how many packs of
Speaker 3: cigarettes do you have? Ant? You know, ant whatever who
Speaker 3: operates a drill press five packs of cigarettes and a.
Speaker 1: Funny per But this is like a thing though, too,
Speaker 1: like this conversation about how how different things are, like
Speaker 1: because there is no middle class. It's something I brush
Speaker 1: up against with a lot of like like babymer people
Speaker 1: that I know when like they talk about like like
Speaker 1: so one person's like, oh, I'm worried about my grandson.
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't want him to be one of
Speaker 1: these like kids in their twenties who lives at home still,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, do you know what the world is
Speaker 1: like for people that are trying to get a job.
Speaker 2: And she said, well, you know when I when I
Speaker 2: got out of high school, I worked at a diner
Speaker 2: and I was able to pay for my own apartment.
Speaker 1: And I go, you cannot fucking do that anymore. That's
Speaker 1: a fucking mirage. That is not that's not exist dollars
Speaker 1: a month. Yeah, and like, yeah, this is all.
Speaker 3: Came with a cart and of cigarettes every month.
Speaker 2: That's a benefit.
Speaker 1: It was a Lucky Strike sponsored housing.
Speaker 3: Do you have any non smoking units? What the hell
Speaker 3: is now?
Speaker 2: Oh? What fuck are you saying?
Speaker 3: What's a non smoking units unit?
Speaker 1: Do you have like a pulmonary disease or something?
Speaker 2: Is that why you need that?
Speaker 3: You want? Wait, you want a unit with more smoke? No?
Speaker 3: No smoke?
Speaker 2: Is there not enough smoke?
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 3: We have ones with smoke? And we have ones with
Speaker 3: a lot of.
Speaker 1: Smoke because some holes in your walls and let more
Speaker 1: smoke draft in.
Speaker 2: If you want, we put windows in it. I don't
Speaker 2: know what you want open the windows, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like there is this the idea where
Speaker 1: a lot of older people believe that that that that's
Speaker 1: the pace of things in this country still, like you know,
Speaker 1: even like like people who like in my family were
Speaker 1: like bus drivers and people of color and still managed
Speaker 1: to like have some semblance of like being able to
Speaker 1: get a house at some point. But again, these are
Speaker 1: all this is, that's all just fucking vaporware. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of younger people in America are
Speaker 1: made to feel like shit about themselves because everyone's like, well,
Speaker 1: when I did this or I did that, it's like, yeah, okay, fine,
Speaker 1: And there were also slaves at one point, but like
Speaker 1: this is a different fucking reality, and now we're just
Speaker 1: looking at a bunch of people who need opportunity don't
Speaker 1: have it, and we just see further wealth accumulation at
Speaker 1: the top. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: be back. We'll get into some some real fucking news.
Speaker 2: Listening to the Dailyitgeist on iHeartMedia, and we're back.
Speaker 1: What do you want to talk about Rhynda Santis?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, it's the matter with his pants. I just
Speaker 3: want to know what's the matter with his pants.
Speaker 2: Well, he's always wearing cop he's always wearing those cowboy boots.
Speaker 3: His pants, Man his pants like he either has bow
Speaker 3: legs or he's impersonating a man with bow legs.
Speaker 2: What do you mean? What do you mean?
Speaker 3: He looks like freaking his legs look like freaking nug
Speaker 3: what's the Yosemite Sam's legs?
Speaker 2: Oh, that is great. And his legs got got like
Speaker 2: that from riding that goddamn horse.
Speaker 3: That's what I mean. I don't think. I don't think. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think I think that way from riding a coke brother.
Speaker 1: Well, he wears those like cowboy boots that give him
Speaker 1: like an extra two inches of height, which is the
Speaker 1: thing I'm always looking at.
Speaker 2: I'm like, Wow, two inches of toxic power. Toxic yea
Speaker 2: toxic power. So, as we've talked about before, you know,
Speaker 2: we knew that DeSantis was gonna announce, and we also
Speaker 2: learned that he wanted to formally launch the campaign using
Speaker 2: an interview with none other than Elon Musk on Twitter spaces,
Speaker 2: which Elon Musk was saying, like they just was like,
Speaker 2: this is this is hyped.
Speaker 1: You know this is going to be a groundbreaking moment.
Speaker 1: He got the breaking part right, because the whole thing
Speaker 1: was a fucking disaster, a cluster fuck, if you will,
Speaker 1: and again, how could you have foreseen this because it's
Speaker 1: only a tech company that laid off eighty percent of
Speaker 1: its staff, how could they have any kind of technical issues.
Speaker 1: I just don't understand. Elon Musk was just advocating for
Speaker 1: laying off more people at tech companies. But again, this
Speaker 1: was the result. And when it started right, six hundred
Speaker 1: thousand people tuned it. But then there was all kinds
Speaker 1: of problems. There was fucking feedback echoes. The audio was like,
Speaker 1: sounded worse than that clip craft It.
Speaker 2: Just played for us.
Speaker 3: You didn't have to do that. I'm not an owner
Speaker 3: of the big tech company. You don't have to do that.
Speaker 2: But even that was better. Chris anybody, I'll just say,
Speaker 2: that's that's why that clip said it's so bad. It's crisly.
Speaker 2: You laid off eighty one set of tech. Justin gets so.
Speaker 3: Once Justin and Victor and Becker get through with it,
Speaker 3: it's gonna sound crystal clear, and you guys are gonna sound.
Speaker 1: Like in a way, I think it's better. It's more
Speaker 1: authentic to the voice of this show. So many times
Speaker 1: I put unintelligible ship on this show. No, not even
Speaker 1: not even again. Your episode where you had the wrong
Speaker 1: mic in your hands and you had the laptop recording
Speaker 1: your audio behind you is still holding mike like out.
Speaker 3: In the yard. I was holding a mic out in
Speaker 3: the yard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was amazing, but like the mic was fucking bind.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, you guys were so nice about that.
Speaker 3: I can't believe that made that would never.
Speaker 1: Happen now, this is dude, you know, this show.
Speaker 3: That would never happen now now that I hire Art
Speaker 3: radios got shut together.
Speaker 2: The thing people don't tune into daily Zeitgeist for the
Speaker 2: professional listen for its authenticity and okayo grabble chaotic nature
Speaker 2: brought to you by Iheartmetia.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so people who are trying to tune in,
Speaker 1: they got logged out of like Twitter completely some people.
Speaker 1: And you know, this went on for like twenty fucking minutes,
Speaker 1: and then the moderator, David Sachs, who was like Elon
Speaker 1: Musk's business partner, said that they were He's like, we're
Speaker 1: kind of melting the servers and you know, that's actually
Speaker 1: kind of a good thing, which fuck fuck off, no
Speaker 1: it is. It's it's indicative of how shitty and unstable
Speaker 1: Twitter is right now, It's not because you broke the
Speaker 1: fucking Internet. And you could hear, yeah, you could hear
Speaker 1: Elon Musk in the background saying he's like, oh, like
Speaker 1: I'm working to allocate more server capacity, like this is
Speaker 1: fucking star Trek or some shit like why didn't he
Speaker 1: have a mic just well because he was also part
Speaker 1: of this like weird triangular conversation. Then the feed fucking
Speaker 1: cut out completely with like a notice for people that
Speaker 1: said this Twitter space has ended, and then it started
Speaker 1: again twenty five minutes late, and then this time there
Speaker 1: were only forty thousand people joining in, and then it
Speaker 1: eventually got close to one hundred thousand people, so it
Speaker 1: means that half a million people just fucked off after that,
Speaker 1: They're like, I'm off this, like I only went. I
Speaker 1: only came to see that it was a disaster and
Speaker 1: it was half a million bots yeah or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: But again, like the idea, a lot of people were
Speaker 1: pointing out, They're like Alexandria Ocasio Cortes had more people
Speaker 1: watching her on Twitch playing fucking Last of Us or
Speaker 1: you know, Are among Us or like whatever streaming video
Speaker 1: gameplay than even Ron DeSantis did. Like at the like,
Speaker 1: once this shit got going like, I just like even
Speaker 1: less people. So the idea that like this broke the
Speaker 1: fucking Internet, I think is just it's it's all fucking.
Speaker 3: What you was doing, like butting up, attaching more servers
Speaker 3: or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, allocating more server space, captain.
Speaker 3: That's slang for smoking rocks, to allocate more server space. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that means he did a bump off his hand.
Speaker 2: He's like, hey, hand me that fucking light bulb.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, hey Scotty beat me up? Am I right?
Speaker 1: So again, then DeSantis just went on and just pairted
Speaker 1: a bunch of like tired ass talking points that we've
Speaker 1: already heard in like this pre recorded video he released
Speaker 1: earlier and then the in the day, and he was
Speaker 1: also asked why he made the announcement on Twitter instead
Speaker 1: of TV, and he was his answer was basically like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, I love Elon Musk and it's it's really
Speaker 1: to do with the fact that he's a quote free
Speaker 1: speech advocate. We're gonna keep doing that. And then at
Speaker 1: that point even Fox News was fucking with DeSantis. When
Speaker 1: he came on for the interview like later that night,
Speaker 1: the host was like, well, just so you know, Fox
Speaker 1: News will not crash during this interview, and he had
Speaker 1: got him do all that. Yeah, I think again this
Speaker 1: is just part of like how terrible DeSantis's decision making
Speaker 1: is already like in regards to like again, fucking everything right.
Speaker 1: His singular focus on being like getting notoriety and grabbing
Speaker 1: attention has led him into like a losing battle with Disney.
Speaker 1: And now he wants to go worship at the altar
Speaker 1: of fucking Elon because he thought he would be, you know, groundbreaking,
Speaker 1: like this is the new ship, it in fact was not.
Speaker 1: And the moderator when this whole thing started off, one
Speaker 1: of the first things they started talking about was fucking Twitter,
Speaker 1: not even Ronantis. So yeah, the Twitter guys played Ronda
Speaker 1: Santis also because they were trying to show that you
Speaker 1: could use Twitter spaces as like a viable way for
Speaker 1: right wing shit and and like, and they were trying
Speaker 1: to gin up ad dollars.
Speaker 3: I just couldn't say no. I bet Musk just said like,
Speaker 3: hey man, I'm Elon Musk, and Rhonda Santas is like,
Speaker 3: oh boy, and he's like, how about you launched your
Speaker 3: campaign on my fucking app that doesn't even work? And
Speaker 3: he was like okay, Like you couldn't say no. You know.
Speaker 3: I feel like he probably just has like an in
Speaker 3: crowd moment, like Rond de Santas just wants to be popular.
Speaker 3: He's obviously a freak.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: There's a quote from a like a I guess a
Speaker 1: huge Republican donor who said, in regards to Ronda Santis,
Speaker 1: there's two types of donors. There are people that believe
Speaker 1: that Rond de Santis as a viable candidate, and then
Speaker 1: there are those who have actually met Rond de Santis.
Speaker 1: This is what a Republican donor said.
Speaker 2: He's like, this guy's so fucking awkward, like he does
Speaker 2: there's nothing about him that feels presidential. And they're like,
Speaker 2: I don't fucking know, man, Like I don't know if
Speaker 2: I want to give him my fucking money after all
Speaker 2: interaction with.
Speaker 3: Him, if he's serious about running for president, which I
Speaker 3: guess he is, Like, I mean, who cares at this
Speaker 3: point here, I'd say, yeah, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: he's serious, But then trying to do it. I really
Speaker 3: feel like his advisors fucked up, like they were probably like,
Speaker 3: don't say yes, and he couldn't resist to say yes
Speaker 3: to Elon Musk, because that was a dumb idea. That
Speaker 3: was a I mean, oh face, why the fuck would
Speaker 3: you launch anything on an app? I mean that's exactly.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the thing.
Speaker 1: Like I think his own handlers obviously know he's bad
Speaker 1: in person. That's why, like his second huge campaign ad
Speaker 1: like where he was running I think for reelection, it
Speaker 1: was a voiceover of someone else's voice and just visuals
Speaker 1: of Rond de Santis because when you hear his voice,
Speaker 1: he's kind.
Speaker 2: Of like this and it's just you know, with Florida,
Speaker 2: you just shut the fuck up. Dude, you have the
Speaker 2: worst fucking voice that was one wants to hear it,
Speaker 2: and it's just fascist bullshit coming out all the time.
Speaker 2: So you have that.
Speaker 1: There's plenty of fucking video clips of you on Twitter
Speaker 1: where you look at absolute fucking clown just like like
Speaker 1: with his like fake laughs.
Speaker 3: And shit unhinges.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm like it sucks to say, like man
Speaker 1: like Trump even doesn't have like shit like that, Like
Speaker 1: the best you can do or is like him like
Speaker 1: sniffling or just like you know, like weird shit like that.
Speaker 1: You never see him like fake laugh. He rarely laughs himself.
Speaker 1: So just visually, I think he's coming off like as
Speaker 1: a completely different person than Ron DeSantis. And again putting
Speaker 1: announcing your fucking presidency on an app where there's no video,
Speaker 1: like I think as further evidence that like we don't
Speaker 1: need like they shouldn't even see you, bro, just fucking announced.
Speaker 3: Wait, there wasn't even supposed to be video.
Speaker 2: There was no no, no, it's just your audio launch.
Speaker 2: Your audio launch, Chris, you don't use spaces on Twitter
Speaker 2: like nobody? Fuck no, I don't know it does.
Speaker 3: I met my wife on spaces you did.
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful marriage. Yeah, and it gives a lovely voice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's not here. I don't know where she went.
Speaker 2: Maybe that is the genius of having of launching it
Speaker 2: on spaces. Is that compared to Elon Musk, Ron DeSantis
Speaker 2: looks like the most empathetic, like socially adept person in
Speaker 2: the entire world, Like maybe that's you put them next
Speaker 2: to Elon.
Speaker 1: I mean, as somebody who used to work in politics.
Speaker 2: M hmm.
Speaker 1: I'm struck just by how fucking bad this was. Like,
Speaker 1: if you're announcing your candidacy, it's actually important where and
Speaker 1: how you do it. That's like just like one oh
Speaker 1: one of like your messaging thing right, like are you
Speaker 1: couldn't even fucking do it in person or in your
Speaker 1: own fucking state, not even a swing state, and like
Speaker 1: tie that to whatever your overall campaign messages. And then
Speaker 1: like the content of the announcement just gave no one
Speaker 1: a fucking vision for what his presidency would look like.
Speaker 1: He just talked about all the woke shit that he's pulling,
Speaker 1: like pushing back on, and that's not even you're literally
Speaker 1: talking just regression the whole fucking time. You're not offering
Speaker 1: anybody like no, and I would stop that. And I
Speaker 1: don't like that there's trans rights and I don't like Disney. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's the world you live in. All of your fucking
Speaker 1: problems still exist, like you know, no health care and
Speaker 1: other shit like that, even like Trump have like deployed
Speaker 1: this like faux populism to try and give people something,
Speaker 1: but like RNA stands just like I'm fucking cruel, Okay, yeah, cruel,
Speaker 1: that's it.
Speaker 2: You like that. And I'm also too much of a
Speaker 2: whim to push back on Donald Trump. I will never
Speaker 2: say his name because I'm shook, daddy. That's me, Like,
Speaker 2: that's just what it's gonna be. And we've said the
Speaker 2: only way someone's gonna beat Trump is if you come
Speaker 2: for his fucking neck.
Speaker 3: I'm over there googling shook daddy.
Speaker 2: Shook daddy, you know what I mean, just your shook baby. Yeah, No,
Speaker 2: shook daddy is one I don't know if one of
Speaker 2: my opps of a lit daddy. Yeah, he's exactly. Okay,
Speaker 2: you're reading that. You just read that.
Speaker 3: But Urban Dictionary, every Urban Dictionary says everything means fucking,
Speaker 3: doesn't matter what.
Speaker 1: Any word that means, that means fucking. Like, really, dad, that.
Speaker 3: Means person you'd like to fuck, a flash flight, that's
Speaker 3: a person you'd like to fuck on the streets.
Speaker 1: That's a Turkish person you'd like to have sex? What's
Speaker 1: yea sex? But like, you know, what's even wild? Like
Speaker 1: even w Bush too had an announcement speech that offered
Speaker 1: people just an idea of the America trying to create
Speaker 1: like everyone's done. And I even I fucking hate that
Speaker 1: even have to give him that kind of or just
Speaker 1: a juxtaposed to him, like this fucking guy even knew
Speaker 1: what the fuck was going on. But again, he had
Speaker 1: more of a real machine behind him, where his dysantis
Speaker 1: just feels like it's like a lot of his hym
Speaker 1: and his wife collaborate and a bunch of bad ideas
Speaker 1: swirling around.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I would imagine when you do
Speaker 2: a campaign launch, the one of the most important parts
Speaker 2: of it after message, is eliminating variables in the announcement.
Speaker 2: And you mentioned it earlier. He the Twitter issues with
Speaker 2: their software and their tech, like when they laid off
Speaker 2: eighty percent of their engineers. There has been a pattern
Speaker 2: of problems that Twitter has had, right, So it's why
Speaker 2: would you sign up for something that's not even just
Speaker 2: a variable that could happen It's been happening. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: the app has been having issues so right, and especially
Speaker 2: when you're going up against them.
Speaker 1: Whe do you want to have your mother's eightieth birthday party?
Speaker 1: Oh at that restaurant that has the f rating from
Speaker 1: the health department that only has two people ramp?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the really steep staircase. Yeah, it's a jagged it's
Speaker 2: a jagged rock pathway up there, and there's no there's
Speaker 2: nothing like That's like it's like what, like do you
Speaker 2: look at him? Like, what the fuck were you thinking?
Speaker 1: But again, I think that's his whole like sort of
Speaker 1: you could describe his whole governorship is what the fuck
Speaker 1: are you thinking? And again he just wants all he
Speaker 1: wants to do is carve out this like I'm fighting
Speaker 1: against the woke bullshit, and you know, he thinks that's enough.
Speaker 2: And it's just it's not gonna be because at the
Speaker 2: end of the day, you're gonna you're eventually gonna cross
Speaker 2: paths with Trump and he's already.
Speaker 1: Calling you meatball Ron, which I hate to say is
Speaker 1: kind of fucking funny Meatball.
Speaker 2: It's devastating. It's the meanest thing I've ever heard, to
Speaker 2: be completely.
Speaker 1: Honest, put old pudding boy.
Speaker 3: I think he's got somebody. Somebody's gonna go after his legs.
Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta look at this. It's not his legs,
Speaker 3: it's his pants. But I'm not the only one who's
Speaker 3: seen this. This is like some I've seen, somebody said
Speaker 3: something about it.
Speaker 2: They've they've approached me. Maybe a world star, world star,
Speaker 2: that's maybe what it was.
Speaker 1: World I mean, there is this one picture where I
Speaker 1: think he goes into like a disaster zone. I think
Speaker 1: it's this one where he's running the boots.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got crazy Oh my fucking god.
Speaker 2: But the best is when you see this is like
Speaker 2: after Hurricane Ian, how him and his wife like it's
Speaker 2: like she dresses him like they're the exactly.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: They're white, gorgeous white disasters.
Speaker 3: White power rangers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the white ranger. Yeah. I mean again, this is hell.
Speaker 2: This is what's so weird too, Like he's he's also
Speaker 2: so caught up in this like toxic masculinity. Shiit like
Speaker 2: he and he doesn't even know where he fits. I
Speaker 2: gotta have my boots with the lifts always.
Speaker 3: He's dangerous. He's a dangerous person. I mean he went
Speaker 3: to Yale. I think that's so fucking I don't understand
Speaker 3: these people all went to Yale and Harvard. I don't
Speaker 3: understand what these these universities are teaching. He's supposed to
Speaker 3: be good institutions. What kind of values do they teach
Speaker 3: these people?
Speaker 1: Depending on what you're trying to do, right, if you're
Speaker 1: like going to like business school or whatever, it's just
Speaker 1: capitalist finishing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, why don't they fix that? Because they're turning out tyrants.
Speaker 3: I think people should be fucking telling them that. I mean,
Speaker 3: this is absurd.
Speaker 1: This guy is actually, yeah, I think more than that,
Speaker 1: Like it's the universe. It's just it's just the class
Speaker 1: of it all, you know, Like it's just that this
Speaker 1: one percent class is the one that's churning out all
Speaker 1: the people that get all the advantages.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how does this charmless, violent creep to Ronda Santis?
Speaker 3: What she ultimately is he's a violent person because this
Speaker 3: is legislation is violent toward towards transgender people, toward LGBTQ people.
Speaker 3: That's the thing about these people is, here's the thing is,
Speaker 3: like there is no policy. I mean, I think everybody
Speaker 3: knows this, but Republicans don't have any policies. All they
Speaker 3: have is tax avoidance, and they've already done that so
Speaker 3: successfully that all the money's alread at the top. And
Speaker 3: now it's just about getting more police on the streets,
Speaker 3: just cementing their positions right and preparing for the ultimate
Speaker 3: Like when all these poor people charge their towers, they're
Speaker 3: just going to have a militarized police to protect them.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's how darkness is. So the reason why
Speaker 3: Rondo Santis and the Republicans have nothing to offer except
Speaker 3: for this anti woke stuff. Is because they have no
Speaker 3: policies because they want the government to collapse. They want
Speaker 3: every to be privatized. So we got people like well,
Speaker 3: I was reading about well, you know, what's his name?
Speaker 3: The guy Now he's in trouble, Noam Chomsky, you know,
Speaker 3: because I guess he had something to some dealings with Seine.
Speaker 3: But he said that he described the Republicans just the
Speaker 3: other day as a as an insurrection. It's been an
Speaker 3: insurrection since the since Nixon, yea, when they realize their
Speaker 3: policies of just corporatism aren't popular, so they switched to
Speaker 3: culture war stuff. But ultimately they're trying to take over
Speaker 3: because they can't win fairly because they have no policies
Speaker 3: that would ever make anyone vote for them, So they're
Speaker 3: just doing culture war. But even culture war, that's why
Speaker 3: they're actually starting to sort of like the insurrection and stuff.
Speaker 3: Is they're trying to take over because they know they
Speaker 3: don't have a brand that could be popular. I mean,
Speaker 3: there's nothing to offer people. Their policies are all just
Speaker 3: transfer of wealth upward, and so Ronda Santis is just
Speaker 3: I just don't understand how this guy graduated from Harvard.
Speaker 3: Didn't he have any professors that said like, hey, you're man,
Speaker 3: you're a creep, Like we're not going to give you
Speaker 3: a I mean, what, what what happens with these colleges?
Speaker 3: Where did I just don't understand where all these like
Speaker 3: Mike Pompeo, these these freaks, how do they come out
Speaker 3: of these colleges? I mean, I guess he went to
Speaker 3: West Point or something that.
Speaker 1: Makes Look it's there are there are overlords.
Speaker 2: You know you either get in we should speak about
Speaker 2: them with respect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, tone shift.
Speaker 2: Gotta be ye old dog. No, No, but thank you
Speaker 2: for your incredul No, I'm just gonna be like I
Speaker 2: took it as a compliment.
Speaker 5: You you fucking rascal, You mother fucking rascal.
Speaker 2: You are Yale secret society called like skulling or something.
Speaker 2: What is it called sculling Bones. Yeah, that's what it was. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you follow up thing I was just asking.
Speaker 1: I think, you know sculling bones only only cool stuff
Speaker 1: comes out of there, And like, yeah, to your point,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is again, we're this is the lates.
Speaker 1: We're in the Lay're in that stage late stage capitalism
Speaker 1: where it gives way to fascism. This is the cycle
Speaker 1: because late stage capitalism and broils too many people in poverty,
Speaker 1: and they'll begin to ask questions. And the only way
Speaker 1: to fight back against poor people are working people saying
Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on?
Speaker 2: Everybody's stealing our fucking money? Is uh oh sorry, police
Speaker 2: state assholes, because we don't want to keep answering these
Speaker 2: fucking questions or change the status quo, and we need
Speaker 2: to do everything we can to protect it. So anybody
Speaker 2: who's not talking about like real change, you know, that's
Speaker 2: why I'm.
Speaker 3: Running for I'm not kidding. I mean, that's really why
Speaker 3: I'm running, because I've reached the endpoint of bitching, like
Speaker 3: I can't. Like I wrote a column for the National
Speaker 3: Scene that it was my last one because I can't
Speaker 3: write anymore because I'm a candidate now. So it's like
Speaker 3: free advertise, like if it's like if I'm writing, I
Speaker 3: guess I could be interviewed by the National Scene, but
Speaker 3: I can't actually write a column for them because then
Speaker 3: they have to give everybody a column if they're a candidate.
Speaker 3: So but my last column was this is fascism, and
Speaker 3: I I didn't. People sort of are like I don't
Speaker 3: see it, you know, Like I don't see it. It's
Speaker 3: not it's not going to look the same. My point was,
Speaker 3: it's not going to look the same as like the
Speaker 3: forties exactly. You know, but we have the built in
Speaker 3: racism that we have in this country from day one.
Speaker 3: You know, It's like not even like we have to
Speaker 3: activate some we already have these boogeymen that this that
Speaker 3: that that the right wing is used for years and
Speaker 3: years already, you know, I mean, there's there's already the
Speaker 3: built in anyway. My point is just that that I
Speaker 3: I don't what is it authoritarian democracy? You know what
Speaker 3: is jerrymandering?
Speaker 2: I mean that authoritarian democracy? You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like, what is what do you call it? Then? I
Speaker 3: mean I realized fascism sounds really horrible. And if you
Speaker 3: have kids, and I don't, like, I don't, I don't
Speaker 3: think that's something you want to hear, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, how else are you going to
Speaker 1: describe what's happening right Like?
Speaker 3: Criminal?
Speaker 1: We're criminalizing people's existence at every level. You're poor, your criminal,
Speaker 1: your trans you're a criminal. You're gay, you're a criminal,
Speaker 1: You're not cis white, Christian, You're will find a way
Speaker 1: to make your activities as a person criminal, or that
Speaker 1: you're not protected by the law if someone wants to
Speaker 1: drop like run you over in a fucking car.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this insane attacks, these insane attacks on the
Speaker 3: transgender community are just the most naked, you know, like
Speaker 3: I just just they're just like.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if it's naked. It's fascist. It is, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it is just fully formed fascist.
Speaker 3: It's just it's just really happening, and it's it's it's
Speaker 3: it's hard to even get your head around. So I
Speaker 3: think people just in some ways willfully or just can't
Speaker 3: confront these things because they're just so dark. But anyway,
Speaker 3: running for office I think is a good idea because
Speaker 3: at least I don't know, at least you're in the
Speaker 3: in there doing getting trampled. I mean, I feel like
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get trampled once I get in there. It's
Speaker 3: not like I'm gonna be able to Like when I
Speaker 3: my friend who's helping me run, is like, what's your platform?
Speaker 3: And I was like, you know, I'm like, well, I
Speaker 3: mean what's that twitch? Well that was like platform, I
Speaker 3: don't know, probably, uh, I can't even think of a platform.
Speaker 3: So uh ms paint quarters. So so I don't even
Speaker 3: know what I'm talking about. You guys go.
Speaker 1: I mean, like your platform is at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, you want everything for everybody my platform.
Speaker 3: Know when he was like he was like, I was like,
Speaker 3: I want to try and get community back, and I
Speaker 3: think public transportation good public transportation is one way to
Speaker 3: do that is to have everybody together, you know, and
Speaker 3: some sometimes not always in a car, just in some
Speaker 3: truck just honking and screaming. That's not a good model
Speaker 3: for anything. And then I also is like guns, you know,
Speaker 3: I want to get rid of guns. And he's like, well,
Speaker 3: you're gonna sound crazy if you say you want to
Speaker 3: get rid of guns, because if you thinks a city
Speaker 3: council member you're gonna be able to get rid of
Speaker 3: any guns, you're out of your fucking mind. So I
Speaker 3: had to like get my I want to run though
Speaker 3: with the energy of a guy who's running for president.
Speaker 3: You got it, you know what I mean, Like, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna say shit, I don't care. I'm gonna say shit
Speaker 3: that we can't do. Yeah, everyone, you should.
Speaker 2: Have announced on spaces is what you should have done.
Speaker 2: Now that's what I should I think you could come back.
Speaker 2: We can do it.
Speaker 1: Hey, look I'll hop on board. I'll be an advisor
Speaker 1: to your campaign. I've got a little experience, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not kidding.
Speaker 1: And also I want to I bet if there's people
Speaker 1: who's I gang, if you have like some real policy shit,
Speaker 1: hit me up to because look, crowdsource this platform for
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 3: Kidding, I'm I'm I'm really. I have so much support
Speaker 3: here in town, and uh, people think I have a
Speaker 3: shot to win, but it is going to be a struggle.
Speaker 3: I'm going up against people who are you know, yeah,
Speaker 3: well funded and aren't gray hair that parted gray hair,
Speaker 3: you know, and they are the ones that win. Mike
Speaker 3: Pence looking motherfucker.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: What all you gotta do is make fun of them,
Speaker 1: be like, dude, this guy doesn't even fucking know music.
Speaker 3: And then it's going to be too crazy though too
Speaker 3: because then people I can't be like full comedian like
Speaker 3: you know, I can't.
Speaker 2: Be like Chris guy.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're going to be able to
Speaker 1: suppress that party.
Speaker 3: I can't run around town Sank Colt who got me.
Speaker 1: Like you might but you might and it might take
Speaker 1: everybody by storm.
Speaker 3: They're like, well, I've got I've talked to some advisors
Speaker 3: who are like, you gotta do the comedy stuff. And
Speaker 3: then other people are like, no, you got to like,
Speaker 3: you know, you got to be more centrist to start
Speaker 3: talking about zoning and stuff, and so like, I'm really already.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: Look, it's like anything, right. I think a good candidate
Speaker 1: is somebody who's gonna articulate things that people weren't quite
Speaker 1: able to articulate and in a way that's gonna connect
Speaker 1: them to their own situation, where like you can be
Speaker 1: like zoning, but this is how it affects you. Also,
Speaker 1: I think it's bullshit and then put your own crafton
Speaker 1: spin on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll say, like, if you want a chicken, you
Speaker 3: want a pinball machine. I'm tired of people telling you
Speaker 3: you got to go talk to somebody about it. Wait,
Speaker 3: that's wrong. I want people back to talk about it.
Speaker 3: All right. You want to get a chicken, You're gonna
Speaker 3: need to fill out paperwork.
Speaker 2: Wait, I need I need to bow to big chickens.
Speaker 2: Demand pro chicken.
Speaker 3: You want more than two chickens on your property. There's
Speaker 3: gonna be a shit ton of paperwork. That's all I
Speaker 3: got to say.
Speaker 2: Vote Crofton, all right, well vote Crofting, go fuck yourself.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, pinball machine note paperwork. I love those.
Speaker 1: Things, especially if they're made by Midway Games. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll be right back and we're gonna talk about Barbie
Speaker 1: the movie after this, and we're back Barbie, Chris, you
Speaker 1: hear that.
Speaker 3: Holy shit, I've been waiting for this movie.
Speaker 2: Finally.
Speaker 3: Robbie looks just like Barbie, so it's gonna be great.
Speaker 2: It's exactly like Barbie. I just want to bring this
Speaker 2: up because I myself was always like, is the Barbie
Speaker 2: Girls song gonna ever?
Speaker 1: Buy Aqua ever gonna be in? Like the Barbie movie?
Speaker 1: That just feels as a millennium like it has to be.
Speaker 1: There's only one Barbie song. The new trailer just came out.
Speaker 1: I've heard you do the screaming about that. I know
Speaker 1: you want to stop talking about it.
Speaker 2: Jack.
Speaker 1: Remember we had to shelve the whole episode when you're on.
Speaker 1: I remember because it's all I was talking about, like
Speaker 1: we started over because in report it was like, please
Speaker 1: stop talking about fucking Barbie, and I'm like, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm so upset. But this new this new uh fucking
Speaker 1: trailer actually uses the track from Aqua in the last
Speaker 1: couple of seconds. But it kind of feels like this
Speaker 1: sonic the Hedgehog moment, where like all of the internet
Speaker 1: was like, where the fuck is Barbie Girl by aquall
Speaker 1: in your marketing?
Speaker 3: This is bullshit?
Speaker 1: And then suddenly, you know, the studio is just kind
Speaker 1: of like all right, fine fucking at it. In case
Speaker 1: the fans just completely lose it on us, like to
Speaker 1: the point where like one fan just like re edited
Speaker 1: the like the previous trailer to include the song, and
Speaker 1: it was actually like way better.
Speaker 2: It like it all worked together. But it was previously
Speaker 2: reported that the movie would, in no uncertain terms, they
Speaker 2: would not be using the song, and Leani Neistrom of
Speaker 2: the band speculated that it might have to It might
Speaker 2: have been because it was too on the nose for
Speaker 2: the film, although I feel like everything about this film
Speaker 2: has been pretty on the nose.
Speaker 1: Yeah, take the layup, but the whole other thing is
Speaker 1: that apparent.
Speaker 3: Or they tracked down Leani Nistrom, you know, for comment,
Speaker 3: I mean, who's living on the side of the volcano.
Speaker 2: Probably right next to Leanie Bloomingdale's we Caught Up with Leani,
Speaker 2: We Caught up with her on Sumatra, on the side
Speaker 2: of her in her treehouse, on the side of the volcano.
Speaker 2: But the other reason might be because back in the nineties, Mattel,
Speaker 2: the makers of Barbie, they sued Aqua over the song,
Speaker 2: but they lost the case, so in nineteen ninety seven,
Speaker 2: Mattel took Aqua's record label MCA at the time Shout
Speaker 2: Out When MCA Was a Thing to court, alleging that
Speaker 2: the song made quote unauthorized use of the unauthorized use
Speaker 2: of the toy manufacturer's Barbie Doll trademarks and likeness, and
Speaker 2: argued that the band the brand was tarnished by lyrics
Speaker 2: that quote associates sexual and other unsavory themes with Mattel's
Speaker 2: Barbie products, because you know, there was stuff like kiss
Speaker 2: me here, touch me there, Hanky panky, you can touch,
Speaker 2: you can play, I'm always yours, make me walk, make
Speaker 2: me talk, do whatever you please, I can act like
Speaker 2: a star, I can beg on my knees. You know
Speaker 2: all that the band was saying that like it was
Speaker 2: actually about plastic surgeries, and some parts were intended as
Speaker 2: sexual But after the lawsuit, their lords, shut the fuck up,
Speaker 2: Shut the fuck up, don't talk about that, don't say
Speaker 2: an thing about the sexual shit, because that's what they're
Speaker 2: suing you about. What the fuck was that? Oh shit,
Speaker 2: my own fucking series just went off. Anyway, So then
Speaker 2: m C A, where can I find a doll with
Speaker 2: conservative five family values?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 2: And then so there was a countersuit filed by MCA
Speaker 2: records and they said because they said that there, they
Speaker 2: called their quote alleged trademark violation a crime, and they're like,
Speaker 2: that's bullshit. Things got so fucking heated with these two
Speaker 2: lawsuits that the judge literally had to say. This is
Speaker 2: a quote from the court documents. Quote.
Speaker 1: The parties are advised to chill. The judge said, chill
Speaker 1: the fuck out to both fucking parties.
Speaker 2: Just love that.
Speaker 1: That's where the judges gotta chill out. The parties are
Speaker 1: advised to chill. Nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 3: Yeah, before nine to eleven, people were in a better mood.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you ain't hearing that in post nine
Speaker 2: to eleven.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean that people are talking about chill.
Speaker 2: Like the bill man, you're advised to chill bro. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I have not heard that word once. It's two thousand
Speaker 2: and one. It's completely absent from the side.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I guess, I guess September tenth, two thousand
Speaker 1: and one, the last day of Chill.
Speaker 3: Well no, like, you know, like back then, it was
Speaker 3: like this is as bad as it's gonna get. This
Speaker 3: is the future. Looks just like it's nothing but Barbie lawsuits.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was at the time.
Speaker 1: I remember I was in law school studying Barbie law.
Speaker 1: Everything felt like it was going in the right direction.
Speaker 1: Then nine to eleven happened, but both suits were eventually
Speaker 1: thrown out and Mattel was like, you know, Mattel said
Speaker 1: they were disappointed, and MC eight was like, it's a
Speaker 1: it's a victory for free speech. The band was just
Speaker 1: like this is great publicity.
Speaker 2: But it's just funny that, like like why they wouldn't
Speaker 2: include the song because when they're saying, like, oh, we
Speaker 2: don't like the sexual undertones. Like because if you've seen
Speaker 2: the trailer for the film, like there's a whole scene
Speaker 2: where Ken keeps talking about beaching guys off, and he's like,
Speaker 2: anyone wants to beat him off has to beach me
Speaker 2: off first. And you're like, I mean, look, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: I keep singing this episode. It's so annoying. You can
Speaker 3: cut it all out. I keep going, I'd never do
Speaker 3: that usually.
Speaker 2: Have you been doing that? I haven't even noticed.
Speaker 3: Good good, but I've been doing a bunch. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't know. But anyway, credit Gerwig?
Speaker 2: Uh huh?
Speaker 3: What what is this gonna be?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 3: What have you? Has anyone ever seen Greta Gerwig's other movies?
Speaker 3: What's gonna happen? Like Barby's gonna go Indie rock?
Speaker 1: Uh, Barbie actually has an existential crisis.
Speaker 3: There's gonna be a shin song playing during that, so
Speaker 3: upside cut my thumb song, new slang, you're gonna play that.
Speaker 3: And Barbie's gonna find out she shouldn't live in her
Speaker 3: dream house and she should be like a volunteer or something.
Speaker 3: That's gonna be some bullshit. Man, this is bullshit. And
Speaker 3: also I'm tired of people being cast in movies that
Speaker 3: look like the people. Why don't we do some casting
Speaker 3: that's interesting?
Speaker 2: So who you should have been? Ken?
Speaker 3: Just anybody? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I like the idea.
Speaker 3: Samuel Jackson, Samuel Jackson as Barbie, Sign me up. I mean,
Speaker 3: for real, do something interesting, like get somebody who looks
Speaker 3: like Barbie.
Speaker 2: Wait, like Chris, this is your campaign. Sam Jackson should
Speaker 2: be Barbie.
Speaker 3: Everybody. Sam Jackson should be Amelia Earhart. Sam Jackson should
Speaker 3: be everybody, and everybody should do different crazy you know,
Speaker 3: do crazy casting. It's it's the end of the world.
Speaker 3: Let's do some interesting shit, like we'll get Greta girl,
Speaker 3: Get Greta giry Oh, Greta Gerwig. Thinking outside the box
Speaker 3: decides to get Margot Robbie because she looks like Barbie
Speaker 3: and she talks like Barbie. It's the worst idea already.
Speaker 3: I don't want to see it. And then I know
Speaker 3: what she's gonna do because if you saw what was
Speaker 3: the name of that verson no No ne Net or something,
Speaker 3: the one who was like her other one about the
Speaker 3: lady who had a nervous breakdown and ended up being
Speaker 3: a ballet instructor.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry what.
Speaker 3: That movie that she did called, I don't know, it's
Speaker 3: called Pizza the Tangerine Monkey. I hate that movie so uh.
Speaker 3: The no the movie that she did last time about
Speaker 3: the woman that had a nervous breakdown, it's called like
Speaker 3: on the Edge or like Greta Gerwig Goes Crazy. What's
Speaker 3: it called the last one she did? The last one
Speaker 3: she did was as a writer about that herself? She
Speaker 3: played herself? Or was it No Bombacks? Was that No
Speaker 3: Bombacks movie?
Speaker 2: I don't know, dude.
Speaker 3: The movie that about the woman it's called like Parakeet
Speaker 3: Williams or something. It's like, it's it's her. She plays
Speaker 3: a white lady who's a nervous breakdown and is saved
Speaker 3: by like she becomes a ballet dancer or something. It
Speaker 3: doesn't it's gonna be like it's gonna be like OMII
Speaker 3: all the movies I've seen by Greta Gerwig or some
Speaker 3: variation on OMII, which is where some like weird girls
Speaker 3: like accidentally stumbles into a twee existence and that's's gonna
Speaker 3: happen to Barbie. She's ended up working at a record store,
Speaker 3: and there's gonna play that shin song.
Speaker 2: All right. I love that to tell.
Speaker 1: By the way, it has been presaged by none other
Speaker 1: than Chris Crofton.

Speaker 1: fucking god. But there's also a Jamaican version by the
Speaker 1: Marvels that's also fantastic that has like its own reggae
Speaker 1: feel to it. I heard someone mash up the original
Speaker 1: Aretha vocals with the Marvel's reggae like backing track, and
Speaker 1: it's so fucking good. But for now, I want to
Speaker 1: at least draw your attention to the alternate mix of
Speaker 1: rock Steady the Young Black or Young Gifted and Black
Speaker 1: outtake where the drum like the drums are just a
Speaker 1: little bit funkier than these my hip listening to rock Steady.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, when I was roller skating and I fell
Speaker 3: down and broke.
Speaker 2: My hip, were ready you literally head? He was playing
Speaker 2: rock Steady, Babe.
Speaker 3: You was when Aretha Franklin and died and it was
Speaker 3: an all Aaretha Franklin skating night And I got over
Speaker 3: excited during rock Steady and I fell and broke my hips.
Speaker 1: How twenty eighteen, Yeah, you broke your hip in twenty
Speaker 1: eight twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but wait, I feel like we were doing the
Speaker 2: show and you never fucking brought that.
Speaker 3: I definitely must have brought it up. It was from depicote,
Speaker 3: I was. I was on this drug caused bone mass
Speaker 3: called depicote. Anyway, that's a whole different can of worms.
Speaker 3: But anyway, because rock Steady is such a good job,
Speaker 3: it caused such a good song, it caused the forty
Speaker 3: nine year old to break his damn hip.
Speaker 1: Well, check out this version because it's funk here. It
Speaker 1: will put honey back in those hips. So check out
Speaker 1: this version. Yes, check this one out. The alternate version
