Speaker 2: like count.
Speaker 1: It's the cilantro of sweet tree. Like it's I think
Speaker 1: there's just like something inherent, like the genetic that divides

Speaker 2: Hey, this is Blake Wexler. AKA. We're going to get
Speaker 2: to know you a little bit better. But first we're
Speaker 2: going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're
Speaker 2: going to be talking about today. Guys, thank you for
Speaker 2: having me.
Speaker 1: Hey man, that's fucked up. Yeah, that's like AKA, that's
Speaker 1: how people refer through Jack. Nobody, nobody refers to as constantly.
Speaker 1: You're talking me right now? What you always are?
Speaker 2: You always are? Yeah? I am the staff of my mouth.
Speaker 2: What you thinking you are? You just came? Were you
Speaker 2: like like tossing and turning in your bed this morning?
Speaker 2: In your head? Weird weird time change.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, there's a there's an alarm at my house,
Speaker 1: like somebody opened our garage in the middle of.
Speaker 2: The night, freaking my wife.
Speaker 1: My wife out, so we're, uh, you know, we're going
Speaker 1: on a little bit of sleep. And that's what bubbled
Speaker 1: the surface of my brain.
Speaker 2: And then you're talking about how you're philating the whole town.
Speaker 5: Of late in the whole town of Austin Man the
Speaker 5: of your tongue and the back of your throat. But
Speaker 5: did you ever go garaging when you were younger?
Speaker 2: Was that a term that you were aware of when
Speaker 2: I'm not would go to I guess like parents or
Speaker 2: I guess people now our age grown ups would keep
Speaker 2: beer in their garage and you would break into a garage.
Speaker 2: I do know about this from sea Isle City and yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that was the Philly suburb of sea Isle City. Yeah wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 2: so that it was a good thing where it's like, yo,
Speaker 2: they have a garage fridge with beer, let's fucking bust
Speaker 2: in there and take the fucking beer. It's it's interesting.
Speaker 2: I think you're even taking it a step further of research.
Speaker 2: Where there was no surveillance, it was assumed there's a garage, Yes,
Speaker 2: there must be beer kept in it, because the garage
Speaker 2: is generally cooler. I think, like before you refrigerate it.
Speaker 2: People would just keep beer in the garage. But I
Speaker 2: guess they don't have a garage. But if I did,
Speaker 2: I probably wouldn't keep I would keep it in my basement,
Speaker 2: keep it in my gun safe in my gun. We
Speaker 2: went gun safing as well. Yeah, their firearms to be white.
Speaker 2: They have a bad time like just whimsically breaking a
Speaker 2: garage from beer. Yeah, that's part of a domicile, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: When I was a you know, seventeen year old in
Speaker 1: Kentucky who just wanted nothing more than to drink at
Speaker 1: all times, I can't believe it didn't occur to me.
Speaker 1: Like I'm actually disappointed in myself that we didn't do that.
Speaker 1: We just like went to the liquor stores and played
Speaker 1: hey buddy, which is so humiliated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, hey man, he.
Speaker 1: Many, I'll suck you, dick man, come on, call me
Speaker 1: the south By Mouth guy.
Speaker 2: Get the away my nickname, bro, all right, whatever, wait man, yack.
Speaker 2: If you had a time machine and you can right
Speaker 2: one wrong or change one decision in your life.
Speaker 1: Garag Yeah, back in time and tell my teenage self.
Speaker 1: And there's this thing called garaging. You're gonna learn about
Speaker 1: in a few years because your cousins in se City
Speaker 1: do it. We're actually more likely your aunt and uncle
Speaker 1: like tell us that it's out of control.
Speaker 2: In Sel City. The youths are out of control.
Speaker 1: Out of control anyway, shout out to Sea City, man,
Speaker 1: what a town? Say it all right, Blake, yes, you
Speaker 1: you already said the thing that I say right now,
Speaker 1: So fuck you man.
Speaker 2: All you have a job to do. No one wants
Speaker 2: to work in.
Speaker 1: The first Tell listeners things to talk about. Uh, we're
Speaker 1: talking about Boeing because what's the blower died in a
Speaker 1: very suspicious way, and people are intrigued.
Speaker 2: This is fucked up.
Speaker 1: People got the phrase epsteined trending on Twitter, which like,
Speaker 1: I get that this is a very suspicious suicide in quotes,
Speaker 1: but do we really have to compare this poor man.
Speaker 2: To Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I could, like, what a horrible, horrible fate.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that. We're gonna look at Trump's
Speaker 1: Hitler fandom, which is real, Like the comparisons are obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, not like everywhere, like you just can't shake them.
Speaker 1: But like he is openly has been openly a fan
Speaker 1: of Hitler, I guess, not openly, but like not really
Speaker 1: trying to lie.
Speaker 2: Very well, yeah, I mean for some things and yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, well so well hopefully hopefully people will
Speaker 2: you know, maybe people come around now after hearing this.
Speaker 1: I think so we'll talk about THEEONS report on UFOs
Speaker 1: and we'll ask the question on everybody's mind. Did millennials
Speaker 1: kill chwoing gum too?
Speaker 2: We did? Yeah, I think so?
Speaker 1: Not my ass man, I got let me see how
Speaker 1: many packs have tried? How many past pack three? Three
Speaker 1: packs of fucking three packs? Chakor over here? Okay, three
Speaker 1: pack shaker? All right, But before we get to any
Speaker 1: of it, blake, we do like to ask our guests,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history that is revealing
Speaker 1: about who you are?
Speaker 2: You sick freak? Well, this disgusting pervert speaking right now.
Speaker 2: JP Morgan's knows, and because it was always like a
Speaker 2: reference of something bulbous and disc like, oh, this guy's
Speaker 2: got a real like JP Morgan knows right now, but
Speaker 2: like I didn't understand what the hell was actually going
Speaker 2: on with that guy's nose. And it turns out there's
Speaker 2: two issues. One dose was purple, which is you know,
Speaker 2: generally something that you would recognize right away about a
Speaker 2: person's interesting. Yeah, it's bad. Sorry. So he had roseasha,
Speaker 2: which then I believe turned into something called rhino faima,
Speaker 2: and which is caused like I guess the deformity isn't
Speaker 2: a nice term, but like caused it to be warped.
Speaker 2: Not that that's yeah better much, Yeah, warped. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: it's fucked, and I do have rhino faima. I do
Speaker 2: have a rule of thumb where I never wanted disease
Speaker 2: in which the prefix is that of a beast from Serengetti.
Speaker 2: It's generally something to avoid. But yeah, that's what was
Speaker 2: happening with his nose. And it's interesting too because most
Speaker 2: of those photos were black and white from right then
Speaker 2: and yet but you can like see the gin blossoms. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: because that is that just from alcohol abuse? I think rosation. No,
Speaker 2: but I always figured it was from alcohol abuse. No,
Speaker 2: I'm just meant in his in his case, in his case, yeah.
Speaker 1: I always assumed that, and he knows they look like
Speaker 1: this had some complications from alcohol abuse, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, cocaine, cocaine, cocaine and how bangers do now, Yeah,
Speaker 2: and facilitating the finances of the slave trade and manifested
Speaker 2: in that awesome look.
Speaker 1: It's just evil like bursting through his face. I do
Speaker 1: feel like sometimes just like the all the soul turmoil,
Speaker 1: just like.
Speaker 2: Nose and yeah, yeah, man, Jp, Wait, how did you what? What?
Speaker 2: What even spurred that on? It's because you just heard
Speaker 2: tell of people talking about JP Morgan's nose and like,
Speaker 2: let me, let me just check this out myself. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's one of those things that you take for
Speaker 2: granted in life, You know that you just have these
Speaker 2: references to pull whenever your little heart desires. But why
Speaker 2: why the reference? How did the reference come about? Why
Speaker 2: did his nose look so messed up? So that's that's
Speaker 2: why apparently. Yeah, I'm more of a thinker and I'm
Speaker 2: liking the historian shit. It's history mostly. Yeah, like learning,
Speaker 2: there's a today.
Speaker 1: I learned here today. I learned that JP Morgan was
Speaker 1: sensitive about his nose. It was inflamed and purple due
Speaker 1: to rhino finma. He hated being photographed and always made
Speaker 1: sure photographers touched up his nose. So the ship that
Speaker 1: we have right now of his nose is the result
Speaker 1: of a propaganda campaign to make his nose look better.
Speaker 2: He put his best nose forward in those phottos. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's wow. That shit must have been gnarly and protesque.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ah, man, you hate to see it for such
Speaker 1: a good guy too, I agree, just didn't deserve it,
Speaker 1: that's right. What something you think is underrated?
Speaker 2: Underrated? Upside down pizza? Which is sauce on top, cheese
Speaker 2: on bottom in Maco and Manco style. Yeah, but even
Speaker 2: more so, like like Mango and Manco, I feel like
Speaker 2: is strips of sauce. Does that make sense? Yeah? Where
Speaker 2: this is a blanket more like a quilt of sauce.
Speaker 2: Where I'm when it comes to pizza to me, I
Speaker 2: know this is controversial. I don't want to start a
Speaker 2: whole goddamn thing with you two. You maybe fucking blow
Speaker 2: the shit out of everything I say. But I do
Speaker 2: like sauce, as sauce is my favorite part of a pizza,
Speaker 2: So I like, let's give me that first and then
Speaker 2: we can go from there with the cheese and whatever
Speaker 2: else or what have you. But I've been seeing it
Speaker 2: more and more it's been popping up in Philly. It
Speaker 2: was like a thing for a while, and now I've
Speaker 2: seen it around New York and other places. So upsating
Speaker 2: on pizza.
Speaker 1: I do think the sauce is the most important part
Speaker 1: of the pizza. It's the thing that is that determines
Speaker 1: the variability. I feel like, right, it's why Papa John's
Speaker 1: fucking sucks. Yeah, that's why Papa Jo sweet s. I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously there are three ingredient and they two of them
Speaker 1: can really go in a lot of different directions. I mean,
Speaker 1: crust is maybe more more important than sauce. Now that
Speaker 1: I now that I agreed with you out loud, my
Speaker 1: body rejected. It was Blake's got to be gone. But
Speaker 1: Blake's got to be wrong and gone. I'm going to
Speaker 1: got you out, But I wish you would try. I
Speaker 1: wish you would try. I'm going I'm going to tame
Speaker 1: up with that room service person. You didn't meet me
Speaker 1: along Island City?
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? You didn't tip him? What? Three
Speaker 2: percent isn't tipping?
Speaker 1: Even when it's so annoying to have to figure out
Speaker 1: the three percent every tide because it's like a weird percentage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't have to. You don't have to ask
Speaker 2: the person either, Hey what's three percent of this? Hey?
Speaker 1: Guysbody know what the cheese bonding with the crust is
Speaker 1: also like kind of I think a thing that I
Speaker 1: like about that. You're not having the ship slide off huge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a big scrup of slice. Yeah, but I kind
Speaker 1: of like it. Manco Manco's power. It's like all kind
Speaker 1: of mixed in together a little bit, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Well, you're a moderate, you're in the middle
Speaker 1: of mods what I am. And I respect Joe Biden's America.
Speaker 2: I know you that's why. Yeah, another thing we agree.
Speaker 2: I respect JP Morgan's America. What is uh? What's something
Speaker 2: you think is overrated? Overrated? Doctor Bronner's soap Ooh, it's
Speaker 2: the first of all if you if you've ever read
Speaker 2: that thing, he's amazing, Like the guy's crazy and absolutely nuts.
Speaker 2: And another thing, it's a very it's a very expensive
Speaker 2: soap too, Like for a jug like that, it's like
Speaker 2: fourteen sixteen bucks and what's three percent sixteen dollars? And
Speaker 2: it also I don't like how it cools you where
Speaker 2: if you put on doctor Browner's as a body wash.
Speaker 2: It gives you like a cooling sensation, which will then
Speaker 2: make me turn up the heat in the shower. And
Speaker 2: then I get out of the shower and I start sweating,
Speaker 2: which completely defeats the whole purpose of the entire experience.
Speaker 2: So doctor starts sloughing off your body? It does? I
Speaker 2: prefer to put this the soap.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe that would indicate that doctor Browners is mentholated,
Speaker 1: a term that I learned from Miles when I complained
Speaker 1: about this very thing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: When the cooling sensation of it's like a cheap, cheap hit.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's like a trick that I got
Speaker 1: my head and shoulder shampoo from TJ Max. One time
Speaker 1: inadvertently bought some mentholated head and shoulders shampoo and it's
Speaker 1: you know, head and shoulders like to brag about their tingle,
Speaker 1: and this thing was like more of a subtle burn
Speaker 1: that you know when when you're talking, shampoo goes all
Speaker 1: over your body, which not not what I'm looking for
Speaker 1: when I get out of the shower.
Speaker 2: But oh you don't upside down it, you know, in
Speaker 2: the shower a one handed head stand shampoo while I
Speaker 2: lather with you just drag an inversion table into your
Speaker 2: shower and you just get in there and you're like, honey,
Speaker 2: turn the water on. Fop me, flip me, I'm waterboarding.
Speaker 2: I'm waterboarding nose. The label, the Doctor Browner's label is
Speaker 2: it's the thing that it evokes the most, and it's
Speaker 2: weird because it's become influential. I feel like a lot
Speaker 2: of labels now the word count is way too high
Speaker 2: on I rocketed. Yeah, the love Corn label, love Corn
Speaker 2: is now in this hotel room that I'm staying And
Speaker 2: do you guys know hello, just so you know, we're
Speaker 2: delicious crunchy corn, love comic corn. And then there's like
Speaker 2: a whole fucking essay written by the product that you're
Speaker 2: eating in the thing, And like we believe it's like
Speaker 2: a combination of like cuts like meming ship and then
Speaker 2: like those we believe signs from people the yards right
Speaker 2: right right at love Corn. We believe that Twitter is
Speaker 2: ex And yeah, do you do that funny prank or
Speaker 2: you say it's funny. I think it's disrespectful where you
Speaker 2: go through all the things at the mini bar and
Speaker 2: then you eat them all and then fill them up
Speaker 2: with pennies? Is that is that? Was that?
Speaker 5: You?
Speaker 2: You fill up the love corn with all the pennies, Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: there you go, asshole. Yeah, take that. Enjoy that. I
Speaker 2: don't know, I saw it.
Speaker 1: And then and then when I go down to the
Speaker 1: front desk to check out, I'm like, I saw the
Speaker 1: cleaning lady eating.
Speaker 2: All the products. You know, blame on her, so I
Speaker 2: get away with it. Yeah yeah, yeah, Well, dude, the
Speaker 2: Bronner family is kind of wow. This guy's story is
Speaker 2: fucking wild. Yeah. The dude escaped Germany in nineteen twenty eight.
Speaker 2: He's a Jewish immigrant. His family was happy. Now Blake
Speaker 2: was killed. All I caught him finished, Let's see what
Speaker 2: I'll see. The family was killed in the Holocaust, and
Speaker 2: then he escaped a mental institution in nineteen forty five
Speaker 2: to start his business. So I'm glad I called him crazy.
Speaker 2: That's good too, That's really well what I call you
Speaker 2: didn't know? You didn't know, you didn't know, A term
Speaker 2: I shouldn't use anyway.
Speaker 1: The label does remind me of some signs you will
Speaker 1: see from you know, like the conspiracy theory signs that
Speaker 1: you'll see.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, where people have like bumper stickers that
Speaker 2: are this text DNSE and you're like, sorry, what did
Speaker 2: you say about m RNA?
Speaker 1: Never mind, we're seeing this raised to the like rise
Speaker 1: up as a as a labeling strategy. Just like just
Speaker 1: flood them with word count and they'll they'll be so
Speaker 1: dizzy they have to buy your product.
Speaker 2: I feel like we're walking into Alex Schmidt territory right
Speaker 2: now of getting into the labels of various products. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but yeah, that's that's a market he's cornered. So I'm
Speaker 2: going to stop you right there. Yeah, I actually really
Speaker 2: I created Alex Schmidt. Is that you're gonna say, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I take credit for just his existence.
Speaker 1: All me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I was gonna say that.
Speaker 1: I recently opened my refrigerator and like we have the
Speaker 1: baking soda, you know, in in there, and on the
Speaker 1: label of the baking soda, they offer you a chance
Speaker 1: to like join the community of like baking soda fans,
Speaker 1: like fans of their baking soda, and there's like a
Speaker 1: website and a phone number. Just like I really I
Speaker 1: kind of want to chase that thread like all the way,
Speaker 1: just like meet the other people in the community, just
Speaker 1: like kind of get a sense.
Speaker 2: Of like what they're all about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, people who's just like you devoted to
Speaker 1: baking soda armanhammer or is that who makes that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah that's oh man, dude, this guy there,
Speaker 2: I didn't realize. All that text is like his spiritual
Speaker 2: philosophy on the Doctor Browners label. Oh yeah, and then
Speaker 2: it goes deep. Man, there's like a whole documentary about
Speaker 2: his spiritual teachings on how we need to we gotta
Speaker 2: we gotta stick together on Spaceship Earth. All right, yeah,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 1: There's also about how nine eleven was an inside job Michael,
Speaker 1: so there was the other Michael that began working in
Speaker 1: two thousand.
Speaker 2: Michael Browner assumed presidency after the company or of the
Speaker 2: company in twenty fifteen, and promoted his brother David Browner
Speaker 2: to the position of CEO, which stands for Cosmic Engagement Officer. Yes, finally,
Speaker 2: hell yeah, dude. I don't know if this is a
Speaker 2: like Behind the Bastards episode or an Alex Schmidt episode,
Speaker 2: but that's the rest of this episode, is what it is. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Oh no, dude, And that now they're like they're all
Speaker 2: about supporting therapeutic use of m d M a for PTSD. Okay,
Speaker 2: they're vibe there, vibey, I gotta really vibe. I want
Speaker 2: to know more. Uh, Blake, this was your overrated this
Speaker 2: is something you hate? Yeah, well I guess that was
Speaker 2: just something I don't understand. That's a category.
Speaker 1: Yeah, amazing. Man, Well you're on the wrong side of history.
Speaker 1: Good do A have you here on the show. And
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back and we're back.
Speaker 1: And man, I can't wait to see how Blake fucking
Speaker 1: sides with Boeing on this next story.
Speaker 2: You know we already know. Oh god, how did you
Speaker 2: get to south By? Southwest Mouth? Man? Huh? You type
Speaker 2: a plane did you take? Was it a Lockheed? I
Speaker 2: hitchhiked all the way down. You know what it was?
Speaker 2: It was a bowing but only but only two wheels
Speaker 2: fell off? All right?
Speaker 1: So Boeing whistleblower has died in a very suspicious way.
Speaker 1: So he was a former employee turned whistleblower. John Barnett
Speaker 1: died of quote self inflicted gunshot wound. The suspiciousness of
Speaker 1: his death led to the phrase, as mentioned Epstein trending
Speaker 1: on Twitter, who just all all the worst fates? That
Speaker 1: you can suffer in this world, like not fair. Please,
Speaker 1: let's not do that to him, Just say it's suspicious.
Speaker 1: Without comparing him to famous international pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the.
Speaker 2: Ball need would have been still inappropriate, but more at
Speaker 2: least not negative, at least not a pedophile island person. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, no, but as we found out later, a
Speaker 2: vile islamophobe. And is that true? Oh oh shit, God
Speaker 2: damn it. I'm over to today, aren't I No that happens,
Speaker 2: you know, you're like, you're like, all right, because American
Speaker 2: immediately like, hey, he doesn't he doesn't like our enemy.
Speaker 2: Let's look past the other stuff. Huh yeah, no, one hundred.
Speaker 2: It's also I was laughing too at your reactions to
Speaker 2: Jack talking about Jack's whistle bowling up his own. And
Speaker 2: I think we were talking before where we might need
Speaker 2: to have Jack have a snack if he starts confusing words,
Speaker 2: but we did not talk about why Jack might need
Speaker 2: a snack if he just starts talking about talking about
Speaker 2: people by mouth. Guy, Yeah, that might be the flag.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's waving.
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm happy with this, and when I finally eat
Speaker 1: later on, I'm in no way going to plummet back
Speaker 1: to reality and be like, oh my god, justin what
Speaker 1: happened to cut all that out?
Speaker 2: What the why'd you let me say that? Good God
Speaker 2: should have told me to eat something.
Speaker 1: But you know, I'll sleep in the bed I made. So.
Speaker 1: He worked for Boeing for thirty two years as a
Speaker 1: quality manager of a plant, which quality management, as we've discovered,
Speaker 1: is something that Boeing has had some problems with, and
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen he told the media that Boeing had
Speaker 1: been quote deliberately fitting substandard parts to aircraft on the
Speaker 1: production line. This included faulty oxygen systems so that one
Speaker 1: out of four breathing masks would not work in an emergency.
Speaker 1: Good God, those were just like ornamental, the breathing masks.
Speaker 1: One kid, Yeah, before you put your that's like one
Speaker 1: of that's pretty important. That's not one of those things
Speaker 1: that you can just like get by, like the buttons
Speaker 1: that are actually not doing anything, like the crosswalk buttons,
Speaker 1: or like the door closed buttons on elevators. You know
Speaker 1: how those like are just there to make you feel
Speaker 1: like you're doing something. You can't do that with oxygen masks.
Speaker 1: I don't think those are pretty important. They would occasionally
Speaker 1: use parts from scrap bits. They like they would build
Speaker 1: planes using ship from the garbage, which allegedly, yeah, alleged allegedly. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's as our writer Jam points out, that's how George
Speaker 1: Costanza would build an airplane pulling shit from the trash.
Speaker 2: It's it is. It is suspicious because he's like, this
Speaker 2: is in the midst of him in the middle of
Speaker 2: a lawsuit against Boeing, Yeah, for quote detegrating his character
Speaker 2: and hampering his career, and he wasn't done testifying it.
Speaker 2: That's why I think that that's what makes it so murky.
Speaker 2: And then his own lawyer said he died from an
Speaker 2: alleged self inflicted gunshot wound.
Speaker 1: So he's in like he's in Charlotte or Charleston for
Speaker 1: this case against Boeing conducting legal interviews, staying at a
Speaker 1: hotel and he was found in his car in the
Speaker 1: hotel garage, so he literally died well in the process
Speaker 1: of giving testimony.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's suspicious. Yeah, murky, murky, murky stuff. And I
Speaker 2: mean when you see that, I don't know, I mean,
Speaker 2: like you look at what a corporation like that stands
Speaker 2: to lose with everyone, like you know, coming down on
Speaker 2: them for their terrible business practices. It's God, twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: what a time this is like, and it's like days
Speaker 2: after we were talking, like that fucking wheel just fell
Speaker 2: off a Boeing plane in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: They're on takeoff and you're like there was also a
Speaker 1: news report where like the pilot allegedly like lost control
Speaker 1: of a Boeing plane, and like after the flight he
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, the everything in front of me just
Speaker 1: like shut down and like the plane plummeted. We had
Speaker 1: so fast that like people were bloodied. They were like
Speaker 1: they hit the roof of the plane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and fifty people or something like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cool that I we got to hurry up
Speaker 1: this recording some while so I can go catch our
Speaker 1: flight on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a good free flight thing as a
Speaker 2: palate cleanser. I don't know if this pallet cleanser or not.
Speaker 2: But when I visit my parents in Charleston, that Boeing
Speaker 2: factories right next to the airport, so you drive by
Speaker 2: it and see I think he worked on some of
Speaker 2: the Dreamliners, you know, like those massive planes that Boeing
Speaker 2: is buildings so yeah, you see them building those. But
Speaker 2: at TSA Charleston's very small airport, they have almost like
Speaker 2: an elementary school bulletin board that says nice catch on it,
Speaker 2: where it shows all the shit that the TSA people
Speaker 2: catch that you're not allowed to bring through. And it's
Speaker 2: just like six handguns, knife, like just all a sword
Speaker 2: like it's all right, yeah, it's it's it's almost like
Speaker 2: a music catch. I love that gold star for Terry
Speaker 2: this week. Nice catch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good hands, good hands.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, this is the hands team exactly for
Speaker 2: the on side kick.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for adding that, just to show us
Speaker 1: another way we could die on the flight today.
Speaker 2: They catch it, they catch it, they catch it. Nice
Speaker 2: catch too, nice catch.
Speaker 1: There's so many people like I can't remember not to
Speaker 1: bring a gun on an airplane. That is always amazing
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 2: Well, I carry it so often it's almost like a
Speaker 2: part of me.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It's like not bringing a wrist. It's like a packet gun.
Speaker 2: Oh I should leave my wrists at home. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: literally don't even know how to do that. So I'm
Speaker 2: getting on this plane with a blamer. All right.
Speaker 1: So Trump's Hitler fandom has not been a secret it
Speaker 1: for basically, I don't know, since the nineties, but it's
Speaker 1: like one of those things that's just a part of
Speaker 1: what we know about him. But it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: because our brain works the way it does, it's just
Speaker 1: like we just were like, Okay, yeah, he's like he's
Speaker 1: in the Hitler and like it. It just bears revisiting
Speaker 1: every once in a while, especially as he becomes more
Speaker 1: and more openly hitler ish, like dictatorial in his policies
Speaker 1: and everything he's saying. It's it's not surprising given what
Speaker 1: we know about his actual affinity for actual Hitler. So
Speaker 1: John Kelly a hero made headlines by revealing my hero
Speaker 1: in this in this household, we believe John Kelly is
Speaker 1: a hero as a hero recently made headlines by revealing
Speaker 1: in a new interview that his old boss, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: routinely praised dictators. What Now, That's probably not the thing
Speaker 1: that was surprising people, but he did shed a little
Speaker 1: more light on how much Trump loves Hitler. Repeatedly defended Hitler,
Speaker 1: who he would say did some good things, like how
Speaker 1: he rebuilt the economy, also expressed admiration for Hitler's hold
Speaker 1: on senior Nazi officials like that. That was something I
Speaker 1: remember from his presidency, that he would just always be
Speaker 1: like I wish I had to like Hitler. His his
Speaker 1: people were super They listened, loyal, They everybody listened to Hitler,
Speaker 1: didn't they. And Kelly was like, well, his generals repeatedly
Speaker 1: tried to assassinate him.
Speaker 2: And He's like, didn't know that. But anyways, let's watch
Speaker 2: this Tom Cruise movie about him being a Nazi. That's
Speaker 2: probably gonna be something good here. Oh, I didn't kill Hitler.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to switch excerpt this, this bit of
Speaker 2: the Salon article. He said, well, but Hitler did some
Speaker 2: good things. I said, well what, And he said, well,
Speaker 2: Hitler rebuilt the economy. But what did he do with
Speaker 2: that rebuilt economy? He turned it against his own people
Speaker 2: and against the world. And I said, sir, you can
Speaker 2: never say anything good about the guy. Nothing Kelly recalled.
Speaker 2: According to Shoudo, I mean Mussolini was a good guy
Speaker 2: compared Sorry, I mean Mussolini was a great guy in comparison.
Speaker 2: Just the dumbest conversation, A really bad conversation, right, hey, man,
Speaker 2: if you want a big one of them, Like, here's
Speaker 2: a bad guy. I'm like, he's like just having to
Speaker 2: like do a chart of like the worst the higher
Speaker 2: Hitler really bad.
Speaker 1: Stop saying good stuff.
Speaker 2: Benny Musso in a close second if you want, but
Speaker 2: you know, pick one.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's just been a lot of talking about
Speaker 1: Hitler's fandom lately, after he started paraphrasing old Hitler quotes
Speaker 1: about how immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country.
Speaker 1: His defense in that case was that he couldn't be
Speaker 1: quoting Hitler because he never read mind Comf, the world's
Speaker 1: only source.
Speaker 2: Of learning about Hitler.
Speaker 1: Also clearly the weirdly specific lie of a person who
Speaker 1: has read mind Comf, Like, right, I wouldn't know.
Speaker 2: I've never read this one. I've never read Mine Komf
Speaker 2: or My Struggle by Adolf Hitler.
Speaker 1: I know nothing about Hitler. I'm not a student of Hitler.
Speaker 1: I never read his works. That's a direct quote his works.
Speaker 1: Oh so there are works his art, I mean his art,
Speaker 1: I mean not his art, his his his you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: then immediately called that statement into question by pointing out
Speaker 1: by the way, he didn't say it the.
Speaker 2: Way I said it either, by the way right I
Speaker 2: said it better. I like even like his ex wife
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, dude, he's got a book of his
Speaker 2: collected speeches by his bedside table. Yeah. And like when
Speaker 2: they asked, when someone asked him in an interview about that,
Speaker 2: he's like, who told you that? Yeah, straight up said
Speaker 2: who told you that? Oh, no, you've been caught. You've
Speaker 2: been caught.
Speaker 1: That sounds super innocent. And then he clarified my friend
Speaker 1: Marty Davis from Paramount, who gave me a copy of
Speaker 1: Mine komf and he's a jew. So the reporter went
Speaker 1: to Marty Davis, which I'm sure sure Marty Davis was
Speaker 1: thrilled by that quote.
Speaker 2: Yeah, He's like, what what the fuck?
Speaker 1: Man? Davis later stated that A, it was not my coffee,
Speaker 1: it was a book of collected speeches, and B he's
Speaker 1: not actually Jewish.
Speaker 2: Which Marty, that's that's pretty that's pretty spot on Trump's
Speaker 2: style lyning, He's like, what I need to say to
Speaker 2: completely neutralize this, And then when they say it's this
Speaker 2: or that, I'll just say it's it's fake news. It's
Speaker 2: fake news.
Speaker 1: He brought the book up again and somehow sounded even
Speaker 1: guilt chair with this quote. If I had these speeches
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that I do. I would never
Speaker 1: read them.
Speaker 2: Wow, I mean yeah, it's he's he's he's trying, he's trying,
Speaker 2: and he's failing so bad. Like yeah, this thing. You
Speaker 2: also find out that Trump's family is really German and
Speaker 2: not Swedish as he said in the Art of the Deal.
Speaker 2: And yeah, Fred Trump hid his quote German background because
Speaker 2: most of his tenants in Brooklyn were Jewish. And yeah,
Speaker 2: when Trump's cousin would visit his office, he would click
Speaker 2: his heels and say, heile Hitler, all right there, which
Speaker 2: in this article they're like, but it's like possibly a quote,
Speaker 2: possibly a family joke. Okay, that's a weird family joke.
Speaker 2: That's a bad, bad family maybe. Yeah, yeah, family joke
Speaker 2: is like being like, hey, hey, go die your uncle's
Speaker 2: shoe laces together. You have a real goof at this one,
Speaker 2: not clicking your heels and saying hile Hitler. But and
Speaker 2: when that family runs the country, that's when this starts
Speaker 2: to be It's truly just like so wild again.
Speaker 1: It's like the thing that we talked about with regards
Speaker 1: to like the whole rise of authoritarianism and trump Ism
Speaker 1: in America is like was mind blowing for a number
Speaker 1: of years the most front page news, and now it
Speaker 1: just seems like it has everybody's used to all this shit,
Speaker 1: but like this is like cartoonish evil, like just on
Speaker 1: the surface, Like it goes back generations.
Speaker 2: The stuff about his dad.
Speaker 1: So there are unconfirmed rumors for years that Fred Trump
Speaker 1: was not just a white supremacist but a Hitler write
Speaker 1: and the stuff that is confirmed is wild, like that
Speaker 1: he was arrested in nineteen twenty seven at a KKK.
Speaker 2: Riot, but it wasn't a Nazi thing. He was just KKK,
Speaker 2: which that's what he'd say, that's his KKK though it
Speaker 2: just wasn't It wasn't a NTZ.
Speaker 1: In the nineteen thirties, he was part of a larger
Speaker 1: New York City based German American community, many of whom
Speaker 1: were members of the Bund, a fifth column pro Nazi
Speaker 1: group that marched around in uniforms adorned with swastikas, and
Speaker 1: a journalist at the time common and old man Trump
Speaker 1: must have instilled in his family business Air Donald, a
Speaker 1: strong belief in the causes of the Nazis and the Bund.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, I don't know you. It is scary that
Speaker 2: it has become so much more normalized, where with Trump
Speaker 2: in particular, so much of his ship we're just used
Speaker 2: to because he's such a cartoon where you wave it away,
Speaker 2: but then it's not being the problem is that it's
Speaker 2: being waved away, you know, where like we need to
Speaker 2: actually attribute these horrific things to an actual, real person
Speaker 2: who could become president again. And there has also been
Speaker 2: a rise in like in particular Hitler quoting, like quoting
Speaker 2: Hitler in Sports two in the past few years, where
Speaker 2: like DeShawn Jackson, who is a famous wide receiver, had
Speaker 2: quoted Hitler. Kyrie Irving, who's you know, like an All
Speaker 2: NBA player if you don't know, had wrong, had quote
Speaker 2: not just quoted Hitler, but didn't even correctly quote Hitler,
Speaker 2: just said something anti semitic and said it. Hitler said it,
Speaker 2: Hitler didn't even say it. Yeah, so it was even
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, yeah, like the more these things happen,
Speaker 2: the like more we get jaded to it. But to
Speaker 2: your point where we can't get jaded to this shit,
Speaker 2: Yeah it's still bad.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's like there's kind of an an inevitability
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: That was also how old.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not saying yeah, like we need to
Speaker 1: find a way about the we need to find a
Speaker 1: way around like that it is a natural thing. But
Speaker 1: because this is again what happened, like historians say, this
Speaker 1: is exactly what happened in Nazi Germany, like when Hitler
Speaker 1: first came to Power front or when Hitler first like
Speaker 1: came on the scene, not to power, but like you know,
Speaker 1: the beer hall pushed and like all the all the
Speaker 1: stuff that, like, you know, him going to jail for
Speaker 1: like trying to take over the country. It was front
Speaker 1: page news. Everyone's like, man, this guy, what what the fuck?
Speaker 1: And you know, everyone was fascinated by it and scared
Speaker 1: of it. And then he just like hung around for
Speaker 1: ten years and kept doing wild shit and then like
Speaker 1: you know, changed a couple things about his publicity approach,
Speaker 1: and eventually it just was no longer front page news.
Speaker 1: It was just like oh yeah, well yeah, the anti
Speaker 1: Semite who's trying to take over And then he took over.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's uh, it's not good. It's not good. Yeah,
Speaker 2: pretty yep. Money and if if you need it anymore
Speaker 2: anymore to be like yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah him bad.
Speaker 2: I mean, like most of us were like, you know,
Speaker 2: if you you like look up to your dad, and
Speaker 2: sometimes it's just like, hey man, we like the Lakers.
Speaker 2: Man Magic Johnson's School, Kareem is too cool, and I'm like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: the Lakers, So I'm a Laker fan. But if your
Speaker 2: dad's like, hey man, the third Reich bro, that's that's
Speaker 2: what daddy thinks is the coolest, right Donnie. And you're like, yeah, dad,
Speaker 2: and now look at you, uh, slippery fucking slope and yeah,
Speaker 2: and he's like and he's not even good about hiding it.
Speaker 2: It's like so weird too, where he like says it outline,
Speaker 2: like oh no, nobody else, nobody has a dad was
Speaker 2: a Hitler. Okay, the family first all, First of all,
Speaker 2: I never read Hitler.
Speaker 1: Second of all, you're quoting him incorrectly. Okay, not even
Speaker 1: trying to fucking hide it. All Right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 1: And so we wanted to check back in on the
Speaker 1: UFO story because we have an update from the Pentagon. Yeah, obviously,
Speaker 1: the Pentagon. One of the reasons that has become more
Speaker 1: of a story, like a mainstream story in recent years
Speaker 1: is because the Pentagon has been more a little bit
Speaker 1: more transparent, not like fully transparent obviously, but like transparent
Speaker 1: for the Pentagon, which isn't saying much, but still they
Speaker 1: like declassified some videos that we're confusing. And now they're
Speaker 1: coming out and saying that the All Domain Anomaly Resolution
Speaker 1: Office has released their findings and nothing to see here,
Speaker 1: no evidence of extraterrestrial technology. Most sightings were misidentified ordinary
Speaker 1: objects and phenomenon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great, that's it, So just shut the fuck up now, right,
Speaker 2: They're just misidentified ordinary objects and phenomena. It's just like, well,
Speaker 2: then you want to fucking describe that. Then a little
Speaker 2: bit has been like yeah, that's phenomena, which like stuff
Speaker 2: things happening, like they even addressed like other theories that
Speaker 2: are out there. They're like, the ARO recognize that many
Speaker 2: people sincerely hold versions of these beliefs. The goal of
Speaker 2: their support is not to prove or disprove any particular
Speaker 2: beliefs that but rather to use a rigorous analytic and
Speaker 2: scientific approach da da da dah. They said they found
Speaker 2: no empirical evidence for claims that the USG and private
Speaker 2: companies of the US government have been reverse engineering extraterrestrial technology,
Speaker 2: and they have determined, based on all information provided to
Speaker 2: Day that the claims involving specific people, know locations, technological tests,
Speaker 2: and documents allegedly involved in or related to the reverse
Speaker 2: engineering of extrastrial technology are inaccurate. But also the same
Speaker 2: agency also announced that they're working to develop a sensor
Speaker 2: kit to gather better data on things that are flying
Speaker 2: around to hopefully get some kind of I don't know,
Speaker 2: better understanding of these phenomena. And now like many of them,
Speaker 2: you know, phenomenon and a lot of the UFO people
Speaker 2: are now saying that, like, okay, well, since the Pentagon
Speaker 2: has now come out and said that this stuff are
Speaker 2: these are not UAVs, and you know there are no
Speaker 2: secret labs and like maybe whistleblowers to be able to
Speaker 2: be able to testify in public. No, that's not what
Speaker 2: we meant. That's not what we meant. We mean that
Speaker 2: the other like real the theory that I see in
Speaker 2: like the UFO community that they're really like, we're not,
Speaker 2: I mean a theory that I see people just sort
Speaker 2: of talking about more and more. It's sort of like,
Speaker 2: since they're talking about the release of these Gremlin sensor kits,
Speaker 2: is what they're calling it to gather more data. They're
Speaker 2: saying like they're going to use this to control the
Speaker 2: entire narrative now about how we understand UAPs, because they
Speaker 2: fucked up by keeping it a secret years ago, So
Speaker 2: now they're going to use these sensors to be like, actually,
Speaker 2: that's wild. We'd have found things, so maybe we do
Speaker 2: need to have a discussion about this. But we only
Speaker 2: found this out now because of these sensors that we developed,
Speaker 2: not because of that allows them to track us more
Speaker 2: or what's there. No, it's it's more to okay again,
Speaker 2: this is the tinfoil theory. Yeah, it's it's giving the
Speaker 2: US government and the Pentagon they're being they now have
Speaker 2: control over the narrative rather than right now it's like
Speaker 2: the fuck up man, I know we have that shit,
Speaker 2: but just fucking neck like it doesn't fucking exist. Where
Speaker 2: now they can have this report and be like, yeah,
Speaker 2: all that is fake and it's all okay, like it's
Speaker 2: they're not really UAPs, But we actually have now with
Speaker 2: these new sensors we've just developed, we have gathered evidence
Speaker 2: that maybe actually maybe something is different. Yeah I don't know,
Speaker 2: it's I mean, it doesn't make sense to me either way,
Speaker 2: But I feel like.
Speaker 1: I've read the full report, but I feel like to
Speaker 1: truly make this convincing, they need to have like an
Speaker 1: editorial sense of like the stuff that is actually compelling
Speaker 1: evidence or like compel compellingly mysterious, and then explain in
Speaker 1: what we're seeing in those like videos or in those
Speaker 1: eyewitness testimonies, Like it's just weird that all these people
Speaker 1: inside the Pentagon would choose to press self destruct on
Speaker 1: their careers at the same time like inside the military,
Speaker 1: where it is overtly like just career suicide to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just saw a UFO Like people like those pilots
Speaker 1: who those Air Force pilots who saw the tic TAC
Speaker 1: like circling their plane like with their naked eye, like
Speaker 1: came back and everybody was making fun of them for
Speaker 1: like weeks, Like it's not a cool thing. So it's
Speaker 1: just like it's just confusing to me why like is
Speaker 1: the crackpot UFO theorist industry that much more profitable than
Speaker 1: like military bureau crat with like you know, a pen
Speaker 1: like health insurance.
Speaker 2: Like I mean, it feels what you'rezing weirdos are unionizing,
Speaker 2: so it's actually more lucrative than it used to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like there's better incentives to stay quiet
Speaker 1: and shut the fuck up, so like these people are
Speaker 1: having to take a risk to come out, and like
Speaker 1: I for a while, it was a lot of people
Speaker 1: with like weird facial hair who are like, you know,
Speaker 1: just had you know, backgrounds that weren't necessarily making them
Speaker 1: the most reliable source on like military intelligence. But then
Speaker 1: there's just this flood of whistleblowers and like I feel
Speaker 1: like there needs to be some sort of better accounting
Speaker 1: for what these people are saying, Like I just need
Speaker 1: I need maybe and maybe it's not coming from the Pentagon,
Speaker 1: but like then I need the long read version like
Speaker 1: in the New Yorker or you know, some journalistic outlet
Speaker 1: that's going to like put in the resources to be
Speaker 1: like all right, Like so here's why these people are
Speaker 1: saying the lies that they're saying, Like it's the incentives
Speaker 1: make sense in this way they're getting like YouTube money,
Speaker 1: you know, Like I just I just don't understand it,
Speaker 1: and like maybe some skeptics out there can help me
Speaker 1: understand it a little bit better. But it can't just
Speaker 1: be like no, these people are fucking stupid. They're they're lying,
Speaker 1: and like, you know, because it's so many different people
Speaker 1: with like no clear incentive to lie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the only one would just be the
Speaker 2: attention and like that's it. That's the only one that
Speaker 2: like that is like on its surface makes sense, and
Speaker 2: it's like, well, maybe they don't value those other things.
Speaker 2: They purely like to be someone who is the center
Speaker 2: of attention and can like completely captivate a room by
Speaker 2: doing make them ups about whatever they saw. But again,
Speaker 2: like when you see the kinds of people they're like
Speaker 2: the most buttoned up, like yeah, like career military people
Speaker 2: and pilots, You're like, I don't know, man, like maybe,
Speaker 2: but again I think the thing is like when you
Speaker 2: say phenomena, like use use the fucking the resources that
Speaker 2: you have scientifically to actually help people understand that if
Speaker 2: that is the case, rather than being like dude, they're
Speaker 2: like they're just like drones and spyplanes and like phenomena. Yeah, okay, sure,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 1: Should we talk about whether millennials killed the chewing gum
Speaker 1: industry because we need.
Speaker 2: To address this. I'm addressed. I'm mad. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, cusp and I'm pissed at you guys. Well, well, look,
Speaker 2: the onset of COVID maybe had more to do with
Speaker 2: people masking and not interacting face to face as much.
Speaker 2: Chewing gum basically started to bottom out. The sales started
Speaker 2: to bottom out in twenty twenty, like, they were down
Speaker 2: like by nearly a third, And why wouldn't it because
Speaker 2: ensuring that your mouth was fresh and mintee was probably
Speaker 2: the least of your worries.
Speaker 1: In But even wanting to make a bottom out joke
Speaker 1: about what I'm doing down here at South Bay, and
Speaker 1: that's not fair enough.
Speaker 2: I think you're great, Okay, I think this is actually
Speaker 2: a high for you. My bottom is not out.
Speaker 1: It's purely a mouth thing.
Speaker 2: I appreciate. Yeah, thank you for so keep that in
Speaker 2: and so like. And even since twenty twenty, sales have
Speaker 2: been like barely began to recover, and that's mostly because
Speaker 2: they're just charging people more for gum. So like, gum
Speaker 2: sales rose less than one percent to one point two
Speaker 2: billion units last year, which is still thirty two percent
Speaker 2: lower than like pre pandemic levels, but the sales in
Speaker 2: dollars are back to pre pandemic levels, and again that's
Speaker 2: just because they're charging people like a dollar more than
Speaker 2: they had, so they're just making up for it with
Speaker 2: the money, which you're like, oh right, right, this is
Speaker 2: how this is how this ship works.
Speaker 1: No, inflation's our fault. Inflation is actually our fault for
Speaker 1: getting paid more for Yeah, it's because they Uber drivers
Speaker 1: tried to unionize exactly.
Speaker 2: They went woke, and now our gum costs three dollars
Speaker 2: a pack. But like it's it got so bad that
Speaker 2: a lot of candy manufacturers have sold off their gum businesses,
Speaker 2: and some have resorted to killing off beloved gum brands
Speaker 2: that have been with us for like fifty years, like
Speaker 2: super Bubble gum we know that one, and also famed
Speaker 2: currency fruit stripe gum if you remember home alone to anyone,
Speaker 2: that was what he would give as a tip was
Speaker 2: fruit stripe, fruit stripe rum. But millennials maybe also kind
Speaker 2: of did kill gum because gen X apparently they tend
Speaker 2: to chew more gum than any other age group, Millennials so.
Speaker 1: Much fucking gumb. Maybe this is me being like more
Speaker 1: gen X than millennial because.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I mean I have a pack of
Speaker 2: gum like in my backpack, like that's kind of like
Speaker 2: part of like my travel thing because I was always
Speaker 2: like raised to be like you gotta chew gum for
Speaker 2: the altitude or whatever, like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: more of a mint bitch, you know, because like this
Speaker 2: might shock you, but I grind and clench my jaw
Speaker 2: and I and I don't chew gum anymore because it
Speaker 2: tires out my already fatigue jaw from and I would
Speaker 2: imagine a lot of other people right now are stressed
Speaker 2: to the not you two, of course, but you know,
Speaker 2: like us, normal hardworking Americans are stressed to the point
Speaker 2: that we climch at nights so we have to suck
Speaker 2: instead of chew. So yep, yeah, But there's not just
Speaker 2: generational differences though, Like people are just kind of like
Speaker 2: more carb and I guess sugar conses. They also aren't
Speaker 2: into asparta may and artificial sweeteners, so that's also creating
Speaker 2: a decline. So what is the industry to do. They're
Speaker 2: now trying to shore up cells by referring to gum
Speaker 2: as a stress reliever and also targeting gamers with gums
Speaker 2: that have like vitamin B and like green teaen and
Speaker 2: to quote help them focus energy gum and also trying
Speaker 2: to make people think of gum as less of like
Speaker 2: a shit breath defense mechanism and more of like a
Speaker 2: wellness thing. So yeah, I don't. I don't. I'm good
Speaker 2: luck with being like, yeah, man, this gum is like
Speaker 2: your road to fucking nirvana.
Speaker 1: They need to double down on getting dentists to recommend
Speaker 1: chewing it. That was the thing for me, Like, I
Speaker 1: just associate Trident because of like one commercial in the
Speaker 1: early nineties that I saw, like when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: that was like nine out of ten dentists say, if
Speaker 1: you can't brush true Trident. I'm like, yeah, this is
Speaker 1: basically brushing my teeth, and it's also candy.
Speaker 2: So that's great. They should double down on that lie,
Speaker 2: not the wellness lie, right right right right. Gatorade had
Speaker 2: a gum. I don't know if you remember this where
Speaker 2: it was called a quench gum, and I you'd love
Speaker 2: to know the science behind how when you chewed it
Speaker 2: your mouth just got filled with saliva and it was crazy. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: and it's discontinue. They haven't made it in a long time,
Speaker 2: but I do remember that being even back then they
Speaker 2: were trying to find Oh no, they made quench gum still.
Speaker 2: Oh for real? Oh yeah, not gatorade. It's not a
Speaker 2: gatorade one though, right, No, but like the og quench gum.
Speaker 2: I remember like if you went to like sports Chalet
Speaker 2: or whatever, it would just be like they five. It
Speaker 2: was just like in a big tub by the register,
Speaker 2: like as an impulse spine. I'm like, mom, I need
Speaker 2: this for basketball practice. He's like, no, you do not.
Speaker 1: More like drench gum your mouth, thank you. That is
Speaker 1: what I chew gum for is to is to get
Speaker 1: like saliva going, you know. Yeah, that's one of the
Speaker 1: good things about it.
Speaker 4: I would swallow the gum immediately, yeah, because I was like,
Speaker 4: oh man, it's so juicy. And then I'm like I
Speaker 4: just want to eat this. And then I just swallowed it,
Speaker 4: and I'm like what am I doing? And I just
Speaker 4: ate a half a pack of gum and my mom's
Speaker 4: like what it's okay, Well I do that with chapstick.
Speaker 2: I forgot to mention I also have ice breaker cubes.
Speaker 2: Fourth thing of gum on my desk.
Speaker 1: This is really icebreaker ice cubes, Arctic grape, really delicious
Speaker 1: gum for I'd say twenty to twenty two choose and
Speaker 1: then the flavor is gone.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, the.
Speaker 1: Is the best at holding its flavor that I've found.
Speaker 1: Fruit striped gum. You know, I don't want to talk
Speaker 1: ill of the dead, but like three chews, like you
Speaker 1: got three choos and then that shit tasted like fucking
Speaker 1: you were chewing on a piece of plastic. And also
Speaker 1: gatorade was like not like that shit went bad pretty quickly.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah in my opinion, yeah,
Speaker 2: just go just chew that wellness gum folks, you know.
Speaker 1: And so the we're gonna get some Gwyneth Paltrow gum
Speaker 1: at some point.
Speaker 2: Well it's like they're trying to do stuff. It's like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's got natural ingredients, Like it's this kind of fucking
Speaker 2: rather than like the traditional ingredients that are made to
Speaker 2: make chewing gum, this is like natural, this comes from
Speaker 2: the earth. So this is like the most natural kind
Speaker 2: of chewing gum you could eat or chew or whatever. Look, man,
Speaker 2: just just just give us, just give us some shit
Speaker 2: we could just chew and make our salivary glands go bonkers.
Speaker 1: I mean, the millennials are gonna need to start chewing
Speaker 1: gum once. Everybody has to quit vaping at some point,
Speaker 1: and they're getting older, you know, so just just wait,
Speaker 1: you'll you'll be into gum. Wait, what are we vaping
Speaker 1: like nicotine?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Isn't everybody vaping vape in their nicotine?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean younger kids are, like I
Speaker 2: definitely see like younger kids get hitting those flavored vapes.
Speaker 2: I don't know. People around me, they're they're just normal,
Speaker 2: regular everyday pieces of shit that smokes cigarettes. Oh really,
Speaker 2: I know few. I know a few smokers.
Speaker 1: Still, Yeah, I have seen like it does feel like
Speaker 1: cigarette smoking coming back. But again, like gum chewing is
Speaker 1: a good alternative to.
Speaker 2: That, right, and that is like one of the few
Speaker 2: test cases where the gum industry is like yeah for
Speaker 2: people like who are getting into nicotine cessation, like that
Speaker 2: is something that helps. Yeah, but there's not enough of
Speaker 2: a market, so they're just gonna go after gamers and
Speaker 2: the Woo Woo crew.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go have nice little chew break, you know,
Speaker 1: just go go down to the smoking section, have chew.
Speaker 2: It's like it's good because we're the same. This stick
Speaker 2: of gum. It actually only lasts for about the same
Speaker 2: duration it takes to smoke a cigarette and then it
Speaker 2: becomes a flavorless fucking wad. Still bring a lighter so
Speaker 2: you can have that interpersonal, you know, dynamic of Yeah,
Speaker 2: with the stick of gum between your fingers. I get
Speaker 2: sick and they're like smart, Yeah, alright, it's just this
Speaker 2: limp piece of gums waving it around to discuss what
Speaker 2: it was, flatty sticker, Wrigley, it's my hair.
Speaker 1: It's a you know, it's a social thing that us
Speaker 1: gum chewers like to do. Just sit down and have
Speaker 1: a nice chew together. Well, Blake Wexlerk, It's been a pleasure,
Speaker 1: as always, always always a bit unhinged when you're on
Speaker 1: so and I don't actually it's you bring you bring
Speaker 1: it out in me, and I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: You were way worse than I was today. I don't
Speaker 2: even think, yeah, fucking mess because they didn't need his food.

Speaker 2: big scandal of what's it called, like Canadian players who
Speaker 2: there's a big like horrible sex scandal and one of
Speaker 2: them was this Eagles goal or sorry Flyers goalie named

Speaker 2: Kaharski Donuts and it's a picture of a Flyers fan
Speaker 2: who changed the last name on the jersey from heart
Speaker 2: to fart in protest of the player, which I think
Speaker 2: takes something with a lot of heaviness, a very grave,
Speaker 2: serious issue, and then condemn the act with an instance
Speaker 2: of immaturity. I think is a is a great way
Speaker 2: to do it. So, you know you can't buy a
