It was they were like can of Ozzy Osbourne's DNA
can with Ozzy Osbourne's DNA sample. It was apparently a
can that he drank out of. It was not a
can that he jacked off into. Yeah, so I guess
I'm the bad guy.

to do something where I was trying to think of
a song where I you know the thing about Well,

reminded me of the time, like when I was on
the show and I told I think were you both there?
(06:13):
When I I think Miles was just you were out
Jack When I said that like being a local rock
star was just like having one night stands where you
don't come.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I think that was you.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, remember that. I mean those were was you.

That's when I was starting to get comfortable. That sounds great.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That was a big Bill Clinton thing.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
The he he was always like he would have his
little affairs with the twenty two year old intern in
the White House and then he but he would never
come and he like talked about he was like I'm
saving up my power, and then the one time he
did it was like used as evidence against him. Come
based morality.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
What is he like one of these like like his
mentality is like Olympic sprinters from the eighties.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yes, I'm pretty sure it's fucking yeah, raging bull.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Just say that on Larry King or something.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, yeah, he came through, like you know, it's a
funny story.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
That's insane.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I think I heard it on slow Burn, the podcast
about the monicale Winsky. I've consumed a fair share of
content about that scandal were the mine was about alcoholism.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
It was just like, you know, in order for me
to play like a guy who had one night stands,
like that's really not my personality, but like I had
to get really drunk to be that guy. But then
you're so drunk you can't come to Yeah that was Yeah.
I was like, oh, I'm that guy who does one
night stands now yeah, except oh man, I you know
(07:54):
I got into character too hard, too good? Yeah yeah
maybe if I maybe, if I smoke a cigarette.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Do you ever sing a song like turn the Page
about how hard it is to go from stop to
stop and have one night stands but you're too drunk
to actually come.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
No, because that's not a popular that's that's not something
you're supposed to brag about, Like you're supposed to talk
about how you never ever have not come. That's right,
you come, you can't stop.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But like like Arnold Tchwartzenegger and Pumping Iron.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, I've head lots of songs about that, like about
how I can't stop coming stop.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, when I'm in the gym, I'm coming home, I'm coming.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The bus is full of calm, like every time I
try and get out of the tour bus, I can't
have to wade through the com but uh yeah, yeaholate
this part for the for the Instagram feed guys.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah. Yeah, this week I was thinking about I was
trying to think of a I can't think of how
to sing freak on a leash, But I was gonna say,
like crafting on a leash. That's that's that's why, that's.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
My You did like the trump version of an ak,
like I have the concept of an aka.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yes, but it's one of the best concepts.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
M h.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I've told you guys the story of pussy on Hold,
though in terms of songs about songs about coming, like,
I didn't write any songs about like coming, but I
did write a song called pussy on Hole. Like and
I say right pretty loosely, you know, like I was
we were rehearsing and and and we had this sort
of nasty sounding riff. And I was dating a woman
(09:39):
in Alabama at the time, and so I was like,
I got pussy on Hold in Alabama, you know. And
then like everybody in the band was like, you have
to say that, like you said it, that's the name
of the song. You know, one of those things when
all your friends, like you said, yeah, all your hair,
all your hairy dude friends are like, you gotta say
it now you have just that has to be the
(10:01):
name of the song. Except I actually did it. I
went all the way through and then I name a
song that. Yeah, I named a song pussy on Hold,
you know, but you know, it's not like it wasn't
supposed to be a good song. It was supposed to
be a kind of a joke, you know. But still,
Like when I started dating my girlfriend and I was
in the process of recording that album, she was like,
(10:23):
You're recording a song called pussy on Hold, and I
was like, She was just like, you're an idiot, you
know what I mean. And I was like, no, you
don't understand. And I said to her, I'm sure I
told you. I'm sure I told you the story. Yeah exactly, Jack,
That's exactly what My response was, basically like fucking rock
and roll, except I was forty one, you know, and
(10:43):
we don't understand.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Chili Roy said it's a good title for a song,
so yeah, So I to her, she was like, why
are you making a song called that?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
And I was like, well, I made a deal with
myself when I was like ten years old and whatever.
I said, like, if I thought it, I had to
say it, and if I said, you know, and she
was like, what are you talking about? You should not
keep deals that you made with you. She's like, what
are you talking about? And I was like, well, yeah,
you know, it's just one of those things where you
(11:12):
make a deal with yourself. And she was one of
a deal with She was so fucking just like looking
at me, like, you are so fucking stupid.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I was.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I was just about to quit drinking, unbeknownst to me,
and I was I was ready to hear this ship,
and she goes, you're a fucking idiot. I was like,
I think you're right.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And then she was like.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
And she was like, I was like, it's the first
thought that came to my head and that's part of
the deals you do, Yeah, you do. And she goes,
she was like, you ever thought about having a second thought?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Ship, And I was like, you know, I.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Like fell on the floor, you know, and she swimming
in my bones fell out. I slid out under the door.
It was kind of incredible. And then she was like,
then I quit drinking. And then she was like because
she asked me what my biggest problem was, which is
(12:09):
a weird question, but it was like supposed to be
a lead into her breaking up with me. I was
supposed to say drinking. And she was supposed to say, like,
I'm breaking up with you, but instead she said, what's
your biggest problem? And I thought drinking? But then I
realized I didn't want to say that, so I was
going to say something else. I wonder what my other
option was going to be, like not Joe's or something.
It's just like being I don't know, just too tired
(12:30):
or something. So what's your biggest problem? I just just
generally just being always tired, I think. Anyway, So I
said drinking, and then she said, well I don't think
I can, you know, be in a relationship. And I
said I'll quit. And then we were together like two
more years, which I think was not supposed to be
part of the plane round at the end. Yeah, all right,
(12:51):
but we're still friends anyway. That's the cold open my
pants fell down, Chris.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
We're going to get to know you a little bit
better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the
listeners of the things we're talking about today. The President
has you know, solved the war, solved, war ended war.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh no, as of this recording, that could be so
fucking different in the moment.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah, well it is already, he ended, it, and then
it came back, and then he got mad and became
first president to say fuck like intentionally on national TV.
He kind of said it like like a kid saying
fuck for the first of him in front of his parents.
You know, he's like, they've been fighting for so long,
they don't know what the fuck they're doing. Real big
(13:38):
kid swearing from his parents' energy. But anyways, we'll talk
about just what's going on there, so we'll talk about that.
We might even talk about Jeff Bezos's wedding, all of
that planning more. But first Chris crofton what is something
from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I was gonna recommend this channel on YouTube called he
Hezakia News. I don't know if I ever mentioned it
to you guys before. H e z A Kya. And
this person digs up like some pretty pretty like I
don't know where they get this stuff, because I'm like
all over this, you know what I mean, Like, I'm like,
as far as I can tell, I'm on the hunt
(14:17):
for this sort of stuff. And then somehow he got
footage of a Playboy mansion party.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Oh like basically b roll.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Like not narrated, just like a blakely lit video camera
walking around during a Playboy Mansion party in nineteen eighty three,
and well including a shot of the buffet, and boy,
oh boy, if you ever thought that the Playboy Mansion
was anything more than a nasty pimps house.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, then you.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Are going to be disappointed when you find out that
this place is so fucking sleazy and depressing. It's unbelievable.
It's just a bunch of charmless men making sex jokes
while these help. Plus, you know, nineteen year olds have
to stand there wearing geometric print dresses because it was like,
you know, nineteen eighty three. That's the only fun part
(15:08):
is like seeing what they're wearing stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But it's also who looks like they did so much
cocaine their nose melted off.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah. Yeah. And then there's some lady yeah that comes
in that looks like actually like a cocaine gargoyle of
some sort. And then and then there's but my favorite
footage of all is just the buffet. The buffet is
just like you don't want to go back in time,
Like I sometimes think like man I should have man
I should have been born at a different time, you know,
(15:34):
back when you could get you know, I don't know what.
I just imagine like a simpler time. But then you
look at them, like the buffet, and you think, jeez, man,
that broccoli looks wet.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
He's good at all? That proccally looks like that broccably
looks wet, and it looks like it's been wet for
forty eight hours.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Everything that's on that buffet has had the shit cooked
out of it. Yeah, these people were eating some wet salmon.
I mean, it's not that much different than now. Actually,
if you go to one of them, was kind of
because I've catered. If you go to one of those,
like those dinners are still like just wet vegetables cooked
by angry motherfuckers, and it loses its structural intakes. Yeah,
(16:11):
and I've been behind to see because they're like everybody
in that kitchen is like fuck these fucking I just
love eighties cuisine.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
One thing just looks like a serving dish just full
of hot lemons. Yeah, yeah, totally.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Some roasted lemons. Yeah, dude.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I used to work for Playboy.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Uh actually, like and Jamie Loftus and I both overlapped
working at Playboy around the same time, and I used
to go to the Mansion to like shoot stuff because
I worked on the video team. That place is the gross.
The fucking energy in there is so fucking wild. And
for me, as a kid, you know, born in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Fucking Playboy mansioned fucking.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Growd, old dude, right, And I went and I was like,
this place smells like shitty Grandpa house. It's like it's
it was like, I mean, obviously it's been sold off
now it's probably close to being demolished or something, but
the it's.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Stunk too, like it was.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
You're like, oh, this place was fun thirty seven thousand
years ago when before American people arrived on this continent.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Oh my god, Well, you realize that every single man
in there is I mean, anybody who hung out at
the Playboy mentioned they weren't hanging out to hang out
with half. They were hanging out like specifically to bother
teenage girls, right, yeah, I mean they were there. Like
everybody in that video looks a little bit like why
(17:29):
is there a fucking camera here? I mean there was
a little bit of that. They're like, who are ray?
I mean they were all kind of like, h like
this is but you. But some of the guys are
drunk enough. They're drinking like white wine. You know it's
going to be shabblee of some sort out of a
humongous barrel. Like everything was labeled shabbley, even the red wine. Wow,
you want some shabby this is red. Yeah, yeah, it's
(17:52):
red shabbily whatever. Okay, I gotta go talk to you
found it anyway. I'm just glad that, you know, someone
put a camera in there so people can remember that
even though the world's about to end, at least we
have like at least we have wet buffets. Yeah, we're
not serving hot lemons. The sex criminals.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
At least our sex criminal parties are like charred have
charred broccoli, now have a charge broccoli.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
And that's I guess, like I'm wrong though, because there
are what am I saying, Like, there's the day parties
and stuff. They're the same thing. This was just like
I don't know, everyone in there looks like they work
at all the men look like they work at radio shack,
and all the women look like they skate for ice capades.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
And it's like that it's before a time when like
everybody had like a famous interior decorator doing their millionaire mansions.
So it just looks like a house inside it looks.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Like a Hampton in Yeah, it really does, straight up
serving hot lemons and like awkward sex radio shack.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Guys, what what's something you thinks underrated?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Not seeing video of the Playboy mansion from Kid There,
I'm not, but thank you has kaya News for demystifying
the Playboy mansion and showing it for the foil the
hot foil filled with lemons nightmare was so I would
say underrated, you just say overrated. Let's go underrated first, Chris.
(19:22):
Underrated is my new single, Vitamin D. It's barely had
any time to be underrated though, because it came out
last week. Wow, and it came out like maybe maybe
it came out two weeks ago actually, but the video
came out today. Oh, the video came out today, and
it's a really kind of I think it's a very
pretty video. It's just me the songs called Vitamin D.
(19:45):
It's about me being depressed in California, and like they
wanted a quote for me about the single my label,
and so I said, sleeping all day while the palm
trees sway twenty seventeen. It might have been twenty eighteen
when I wrote it, but anyway, it's it's a I'm
really it's one of my one of my favorite songs,
and it's in the videos out today, and it's like
(20:06):
a basic basically a sun thing where it's like it
starts out dark in a silhouette of me, and then
it gradually gets brighter and the lyrics are on the screen,
which is nice. I like that, like you can sort
of follow along.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yeah, I'm so glad. That's what the vitamin D reference was.
Just to the sun and based on your pussy on
hold previous.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Ye come a long way, you know, Yeah, I'm uh
you know. And and the buffets are.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Better, buffets are better on this album.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah, there's like, you know, the further away, the further
you get away from peer pressure from lunkheads, the better
the buffets get. But that's not true. I mean I
was part of those lunkheads. It was supposed to be
a sex joke, you know. I mean that was like
where I was coming from. You know, it was like,
oh fuck, I'm not gonna talk about that now. But anyway,
(20:59):
so underrated is we want listen to me?
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Well, you just told us you're underrated.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I do just want to shout out that you have
a highly rated album on Pitchfork for people, like, for
listeners who don't know that Chris Crofton is not just
a comedian, not just a poet, but an acclaimed singer
songwriter with some great albums that you should check out.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Thanks. That's what I was supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I mean, that was what I That was what I
was led by behind the music led me to believe
there was some sort of career. Yeah, so I was
like planning on that career. I was gonna have a
helicopter with my name on it and land at the
Orange Bowl or whatever and get out and like playing,
play a couple of songs and then head back to Malaby.
(21:46):
I don't know the Playboy Mansion, which I imagine we're
a lot nicer than it actually is. Yeah, but anyway,
I thanks Jack. Yeah, this new record is my best record.
It was actually finished in twenty twenty. I'm not talking
about that a whole. Well, I don't it doesn't matter.
I don't think it. It's not it's meant to be timeless.
Like I always writ try and write. I mean, I'm
(22:06):
not writing of the moment, like about it. I don't
know what would be of the moment in twenty twenty anyway, but.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, it came.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I finished it January of twenty twenty, and then the pandemic.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
So you're like, I think Biden's really going to fix
this thing. That's one of your songs. I think Biden's
got this.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, totally, I think Biden gets it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Oh man, what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Oh boy, oh boy?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Abundance? Okay, you know about abundance, seekung. I saw you
post about this.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Oh my god, I just realized that abundance isn't just stupid,
it's offensive. It is like.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
When you're just in the new Yeah, this is the
new like Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson like idea that
like the Democratic Party needs to like go more center
less like focused on, you know, the issues that have
animated them in the past and more about like a
sci fi future.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Deregulation. Yes, like that's deregulation.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Which has never swayed us wrong in the past. Deregulation always.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
We're in the middle of the biggest deregulation frenzy. We're
about to sell off our our goddamn national monuments. What
kind of deregulation are they talking about? Draining the ocean?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I mean like, I mean, like you know, the ocean
is regulated in that it exists, and I mean we're
tired of it.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It's all the idea that they can build housing in
like they can build enough housing in New York City
to make it cheap, which is stranged. That is not correct.
There's no there's only four cities everyone in the whole
world wants to live in because that's where the jobs are,
(23:57):
like and wherever oracle decides what their jobs is where
you have to live. So anyway, I just am offended
by abundance because it's actually taking up a bunch of
space in the middle of a coup, and there's a coup,
there's a fucking coup, and you're talking about abundance. I mean,
what an offensive thing to do if you're talking about
(24:18):
abundance during a coup where most people have, like you know,
let which has been proven over and over again, most
people have not enough money for a four hundred dollars
emergency who people don't want abundance, they want fucking the
bare minimum. This should be a movement. I mean, it's
(24:41):
just like misreading everything on. It's just it makes me
so mad because it's like for people who are struggling
more than ever right now, or being kidnapped by like
a plane closed vigilante group, the offensiveness of being you
know what, we got an idea to get out of
this while you're getting stuffed into a car, yeah, by
(25:03):
a masked by a masked alcoholic. You know, our plan
is abundance. How does it sound like, not only are
you gonna get out of jail, but you're also gonna
get a great house because we're gonna build tons of
new apartment complexes that are gonna solve all this And
it is the most obvious, like, well, what it is
to me is it looks like that's that's what's gonna happen. Sadly,
(25:25):
we're moving on. We're moving on. Those people who are
left behind, are got kidnapped, they're out of luck.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
We're talking we lost the kidnapping battle, we've lost the
messaging around the kid and we're talking about for us,
we're talking about how do we get the centrist to
vote Democrat instead of Republican because we're gonna tell them
abundance that's what's gonna happen. Not only are you gonna
have what you have now, but you're gonna have even
more of it because we're gonna cut regulations more. And
those are the Democrats. And Ezra Kleine is getting to
run around and say this offensive. That's the thing I
(25:53):
just shifted into like yesterday, realizing the reason this makes
me so mad is it's actually offensive be talking about
abundance right now, that that word is not the word
he should be saying.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
You know what, Democrats, if you want to get elected,
let's talk about meeting your needs, let's talk about the basics.
Abundance is just like a middle finger to people. I mean,
it's it's.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Almost it's just it's non It's like a fig leaf,
you know what I mean. Like the real work is
in dismantling all the shit that prevents people from experiencing
even even like of utopian sense of like like you're
saying the bare minimum, like how are people gonna have?
You can't say, well, it's abundance, abundance, abundance, but not
really go after sort of structural issues that keep people
(26:40):
from having the lives they deserve, Because if you're not
gonna do that, then this is all just fucking nonsense.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
It's noise, right, I just can't believe it. I just
I just it's it kind of it kind of stuns
me that someone would pitch it. I think it's meant
to disorient Actually, I think it's like for people who
are already disoriented, which is everybody in this country, whether
they know it or not, that like the pitching deregulation
in the middle of it is like when it's all
(27:07):
because of deregulation is actually a surreal mean trick where
people are like going to be so confused. I don't
know what it's like, but I can't think of a metaphor.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I think they just had like Abundance Fest last like
a few weeks ago, Like they did like a festival
for people who are like excited about this, and it
was just like a bunch of centrists jerking each other off.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
They should just call it rezoning and that people would
be considerably less of be a much you know, be
much less exciting, op ed.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
But yeah, it's it's basically trying to put a revolutionary,
like new, exciting, positive spin on what the Democratic Party
has already been doing. Like that center turn that turned
to the center, that idea of like kind of Clintonian
like triangulation where you're just like, well, we're going to like,
(27:56):
you know, make the business people happy and also take
care of people. But it just it doesn't seem like
it's seriously able to do that in anyway. It seems
like it's just more of the same.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Well, it means it means that they're they don't intend
to address what's happening that that that's that's that's the
train pulling away, the abundance train full of bananas and
oranges or whatever you conjure in your head with abundance.
I can I conjure those hats that are made of fruit? Yeah,
Like you know what I mean, like everybody on the
train made a fruit, and everybody else just goes to
fucking out Salvador and and and and I guess as
(28:30):
Wera Client's driving the train, and everybody's like, thank goodness
for for Ezra client framing our our luckiness as a
as a social policy. Yeah. Yeah, so I was just
thinking about that, you know. I mean, I think Hitler
was pitching some like really great lifestyle changes for the
people who are not Jewish, as well right, you know, like,
oh boy, oh boy, you're not gonna believe what we're
(28:52):
gonna do with Germany. Well not for those people, but.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
But we need our Laban's realm.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I mean, it's like it's just just strikes me as
a It just it just hit me. It hits me
a million different ways to make.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
I think it's because we're just such a critical point
and we know that the democratic establishment elite is trying
to recompletely redirect all this anger, like anti establishment anger
into something they can just be like, oh can we
can we.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Write this thing again? But hawkeem jeffries Man, what good luck?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Fuck? Yeah, hackem jeffreys Man.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
What the fuck should did.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
You hear that thing he said when he said he
was gonna I'm sure you guys covered it where he.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Said time and place of his shooting.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, that was sae.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
That was like we are going to address someone just
smack your what's you going to do? That was like
what I'm going to do?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
I that is do something at a time and place
of my That was gold medal words salad. That was
the next level.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
All right, speaking word salads. Let's take a quick break
and we'll come back and talk about our president's attempt
at social media diplomacy.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Well, you're right back, and we're back.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
And as we talked about yesterday, I mean on trends.
You know, the president thought he had ended the conflict
between Israel and Iran, celebrated it with a tweet that
was like an award acceptance speech. Yeah, and then immediately
like they just kept bombing each other.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Israel specifically dropped like all their bombs.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
They were basically like, oh, there's a ceasefire coming up. Okay,
what can we get done before the officials.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Cram for this, cram for the ceasefire with as much
death and destruction as we possibly.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
I mean, I think the moment was that's I mean,
who knows what's happening as of right now. But the
thing maybe worth talking about looking back on is that,
like there is this other thing, this subtext of him
always wants the Nobel Peace Prize. Yeah, and this is
another moment there where he was like.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I did it. Peace and love for everyone. You're welcome,
God bless you both, Like he literally bless you both.
Israel d round for giving everyone peace.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
And then you know, once he heard that basically net
and Yahoo just doesn't give a fuck about what he says,
like was like, yeah, whatever, just keep the arms coming, man,
Like I'm gonna just do whatever the fuck I want
to do. Trump really started fucking freaking out. So once
he heard that there was gonna be this other retaliatory
retaliatory strike from Israel, he just started tweeting all caps, Israel,
(31:35):
do not drop the bombs. If you do, it's a
major violation. Bring your pilots home now.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Donald J.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
Trump, President of the United States. He just types all
of that out in all caps, like, oh.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
It's like watching someone like it's like kindergarten president, watch
him learn on the job that Israel is not going
to do what you tell them to.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Yeah, I say no, I declare nen Yah, who's pretty consistent.
If anything, he's gonna lie about whatever he needs to
to drag the US into shit. And he'll also just
you know, he does whatever the fuck he wants. So
then after that, like right after he posted this, like
like a common kid marrow in all caps, he goes
(32:22):
out to like the White House lawn because he's headed
to the Hague to turn himself in for crimes against humanity. No, unfortunately, No,
that's how he's going. There's a NATO summit there, and
he gave some reporter. The reporter some insight into really
how front like, I think this a lot of is
to me. This reads are so frustrated because this guy
really thinks he's the fucking peacemaker in chief or some shit.
(32:44):
And when he realizes that he has absolutely no control
and commands zero respect from anybody, this is why I
think he gets flustered and drops the F Bombay, he says,
fuck what.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I'm saying the F bomb?
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Like this is NBC.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
This is him basically talking to the press where they're saying,
oh my god, what's happening. You said there's a ceasefire
and like Israel like are they breaking it or is
he Ron doing it? He's like, oh, they're both. I'm
mad at them, both of both of my children. And
this is him talking about all that is too.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
In Israel.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
As soon as we made the deal, they came out
and they dropped the load of bombs the likes of
which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
I'm not happy with Israel here.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
When I say, okay, now you have twelve hours you
don't go out in the first hour. It just drop
everything you have on them. So I'm not happy with them.
I'm not happy with Iron either, But I'm really unhappy
if Israel's going out this morning because the one rocket
that didn't land, that was shot perhaps by mistake, that
didn't land, I'm not happy about that.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
That's probably the most forceful we've ever seen a president
be critical of Israel.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Yeah, yeah, right, But it's also like he's just learning
who they are and what they do.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
He's like, I said not to bomb, and they did
a bomb.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
Anyways with the heck, I said, I would give you
more bombs if you bomb.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
It's also so impressive with their massive loads.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
Yeah yeah, So into the massive loads part, and then
this is where like he's about to get on the helicopter,
he kind of comes back and just tries to explain,
you know what, what's.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Really going on with these two countries.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
You know what we have, We basically have two countries
that have been fighting so long and so hard that
they don't know what the fuck they're doing. Do you understand.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
That on that one there goes a Nobel Peace Prize,
mister Donald, I mean, I don't know he he he
clearly thought that he was like and I ate on
that one baby he I don't know so which to
me it sounded just so frustrate.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
I don't think he was thinking of like posterity and
like will I'm I'm breaking the convention by saying fuck,
because he's already broken every single norm that exists at
that point.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Like I'm like, yeah, I don't. He's probably said fuck
a bunch now, but like.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
It really feels like he's just so first Heason he
really thought he has I'm kind of control here, and yeah,
he does it because he's such an inconsistent and unreliable
person to negotiate with in general, and just say shit
like there's a ceasefire and he runs like, uh, what
there is?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
They're like, I mean we're first of all, you didn't
tell us that. Yeah, And also Israel.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Doesn't seem to listen to anything anyone says. But okay, yeah,
I mean that would be great if that was true.
Fuck they're doing okay. When you read the energy of
a kid saying fuck for the first time in front
of his parents like that, it felt like he was
building to that. I see, like I just see an impotent,
frustrated old man. Yeah, yeah, I see that too.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
I think.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
But hey, he contains multitudes. He can be giddy about
saying fuck on on the news, and you know.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
It reminds me of reminds me of one of my
physics teacher, mister Carlson said fuck in class because Jeff
Marvin finally drove him insane.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Yeah, I never.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Forgot it because he had that same energy. He's like
he was like, you know, he was like, I'm gonna
do something that's gonna change everything right now. Yeah, I've
made a decision, Jeff Marvin, because you know, you've driven
me too far. Because Jeff Marven, Jeff Marvin was just
always like listening, what's up?
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Man?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
He just should always be like you'd always be like,
just like, these tests are bullshit. You never used the right.
You give us these practice tests and they're like the
test is a thousand times harder, and these are all
bullshit and and everything. He's like he wasn't saying bullshit though,
he wasn't sorry. He was just saying like this is energy,
but just like yeah, he's just going down.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
You give us these tests and the practice test is this.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
This is like eleventh, twelfth, No, maybe senior year even yeah,
senior year. They're supposed to be going to Why is
he so shrill? Yeah? I mean like he was just
like belligerent. You know, he was a rich kid. You know,
I was going to school a bunch of rich kids.
They were like, you know, rich kids are kids.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
They're like, no, I don't accept that this is my grade. Yeah, no,
no totally.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
And they're like, my dad is what you know, CEO
of like All State or whatever. You've already watch out.
And uh, I have so many stories about the kids
I grew up with just telling authority five. Your's the
just the most offensive ship, you know. And so this guy,
mister Carlson finally just couldn't take it anymore, and he said, Jeff,
why don't you take your things and get the fuck
(37:13):
out of it? And then then the whole class went crazy, Yeah,
will take my fucking books and get the fuck out
of here, fucking asshole, and all this It was like
in nineteen eighty six, it was a sort of a
bit of turns out.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
You know. Now it was Jeff Trump Trump.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Saying that now it does not have the same energy.
But in eighty six that was something, you know, the
atmosphere in.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Eighty You got a thing you gotta understand about eighty six.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
There's this guy Jeff.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
Martin I went to school with think about saying fucking
oh man.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
So anyway that and also like I was thinking about
that movie Hypernormalization by Adam Curtis, that documentary that kind
of made the rounds a few years ago when people
thought they could still think their way out of this.
Or you can watch a droll documentary and be like, aha,
I wonder you know, I think that's what Ezra Klin's
still doing. Have you seen Hypernormalization? Honey to his wife
(38:08):
who like runs the Atlantic, Let's run, honey. Everybody already
knows about that. Oh, I guess I'll go back to abundance.
But uh, that movie's all about how this intertwined global
economy has made it so really nations don't exactly exist,
and so everyone's just doesn't know how to there's no
(38:29):
through line anymore. I mean Adam Curtis, he's not infallible.
I don't know, but the idea seems right.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, it's that that we are living in an age
where nobody knows a narrative, including the people in charge,
they don't know what there's no narrative anymore. Like these
these narratives are what keep humans in tribes. You know,
there's somebody who explains why we're doing this and that,
and there's nobody to do that anymore. Yeah, there's no authority.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
I think that documentary is like really a good thing
to keep in mind at this point, because I do
like that. So the thesis that I took away from
that documentary is like, there's this massive economic system that
is like bigger than any nation state, and it's like
its values are the thing that moves everything forward, and
then everybody else is basically in you know, this big
(39:19):
global economic neo liberal system that just like sort of
siphens money and like moves it upwards to like, you know,
the richest people. Like that's what's actually happening, and then
all like government and all politicians and politics is like
trailing behind it trying to like make sense of it
in the old.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Model of like how we understood the world before.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
And I think that is why some people, like I
think people have a sense of that, and I think
that's why some people at least chose a dictator. They
were like, let's let's go with the strong man, Like
surely they can't say no to him, right, like that,
surely we'll have like a dictator who can like stand
up to this system. And that's what we're seeing right
(40:05):
now is him being like I am the president of
the United States, and I say stop, everything stops right now,
and like it's just like right, yeah, that's not like
the promise of his presidency to the people, you know,
in addition to like white supremacy and just violence and
breaking stuff that like you know, has been hurting them,
(40:26):
was like I'm going to stand up to the system.
Like Joe Biden at multiple times during his presidency like
kind of threw up his hands and was like, well,
I'm trying to do this, but I can't can't do
the dang thing. And people are like, well, you're the
fucking president of the United States, and he was like,
I don't know, Jack, but like this is this is
Trump's Biden moment where he's just like he can't do anything,
(40:49):
and he's like kind of showing that in a very
public way that I feel like isn't isn't a good
look for him and his supporters, But it's kind.
Speaker 5 (40:57):
Of well, yeah, yeah, I mean but I think he
just also does it know how like to sort of
like the global order functions generally. Yeah, So he's just
completely out of his depth, and so he just he
literally thinks signing a fucking tweet with all caps President
Donald J. Trump, United States of America somehow is like
(41:18):
the seal in which people are going to be like, ah, yes,
it has come from on high. We must now listen
to him, because at this point the United States has
completely just put all any kind of any any global authority.
They had just set it on fire completely remove.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Actually to sign it like that, like yeah, like that's
that's like your parents signing a text to you.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
It was like that he's doing the thing where a
parent parentheses mom and dad yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:47):
Or the same thing where like a parent is like
you know, you know saying that Donald J.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Trump, you come in this house right now.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
You're like, oh shit, yeah, the full man. OK, yeah,
this is serious. But again, this whole presidency is unserious
and this nation is so unserious. As we get into
like an arrow where things need such drastic action to
change that, it's like, of course, of course he doesn't
know how to maneuver this thing at all like it
because he doesn't even understand really how any of it works,
(42:16):
because he's just so governed by his own greed.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Yeah. Did you see ever see a clip that was
going around just recently of like some boomer talking about
how America was the big dog, like about the tariffs.
They're like these tariffs, like putting one hundred and forty
two percent tariffs on China or whatever. And he's like, well,
he's like he was like probably eighty seventy five. He's like,
they're gonna have to come to the table because we're
(42:40):
the big dog in the yard, big Mark, a big
dog in the yard, and they're gonna have to dog.
It's like and you know, it's like everybody in everyw
were like shook his head like sadly. You know. It's
like it's like it's like no one ever grew up
after nineteen fifty, Like we won World War Two and
then everyone decided we were done with all the hard work. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (43:01):
Yeah, well it feels like you know that everyone is
they still think we live in.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
The old world or the old way of doing things.
Speaker 5 (43:08):
I think that's been so clear since twenty twenty and
it's just not it's not working as much as it
used to on people, like clearly misinformation and things like that.
But like even now when you see people like people
who like love CNN and MSNBC, they're like, they're.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Why are they all all for war in Iran?
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Right now? This doesn't even make sense? Like what what
what's wrong with the meeting and help the markets?
Speaker 5 (43:31):
Well not even that like that from them is just
just normal people. They're like, I'm looking at I think
enough people saw what happened, and I remember Iraq and
they're like, wait, they're doing it again. No, Like I
just I'm so sure you know, PuO me once. You know,
it's shame on you for me for me again. That's
(43:52):
that's the thing, you know. And I think again some
of so many of these even levers of control that
a lot of like you know, politicians believe still work,
are also just failing at the same time, and everyone's
just scrambling.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
Yeah, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
Andrew back and Jeff Bezos Jeff Bezo himself finally some
good news. Finally, yeah, some good news kind of actually
what he rented Florence and got married pissed off Italian people. No,
I was gonna say, just good news because I can
believe in love again. Oh oh yes, after things went
(44:39):
south with that last marriage, he found love again. Uh
you know, and that damn McKenzie, with that damn McKenzie.
This this guy find love again with you know, a
new person. And they say, and this is the person
that he was caught texting, I love you a live girl.
So it's also a sign that, you know, romantic poetry
(45:00):
is not dead.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
He is that.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
Now they're getting married in Venice and they were like
renting the city.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
They were like, we're gonna shut down.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
We're gonna shut down chunks of your city, which like happened.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
Like I've been places where like all of a sudden,
they're like, yeah, yeah, I know, you can't come inside
this like National Park or something because like rich people
are here.
Speaker 5 (45:28):
Recently I saw where some people are getting married, like
in front of the pyramids in Giza.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Yeah the fuck Okay sure. Anyways, him being the third
richest person in the world, there was some attention and
the people of Venice were not thrilled that their city
was being shut down. They have there's been kind of
a long running since that the city values rich tourists
(45:55):
over the people who actually live there, and so they
started there too, also there and you believe they've got
that issue there. Whoa hold on n Wait, you have
to go to Venice, Italy to find that clash.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
That's like Nashville when they cut down all the cherry
trees to so the NFL Draft could have their stage,
and the whole town was like, what are you doing?
Those are like historic cherry trees and they're like, well,
replant them. And then there's some barbarous like weighted and
was like you can't replant them, and they're like, we're
still going to do it.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
We're cutting them down.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
They're like, we're still going to do it. I was like, no,
we're going to do it. We're gonna replant them. That's
not possible with a cherry tree. Yeah, but that's we're
going to do it.
Speaker 5 (46:32):
Well, we're saying it is just what we're going to
do purposes of moving along this conversation, right, But yeah,
it's a lot like the it's a lot like.
Speaker 3 (46:39):
The global hypernormalization. It's just like, yeah, but that's what
we're going to say.
Speaker 1 (46:44):
We don't need experts to weigh in on this. We're
not plant them and we're.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Not cutting medicaid.
Speaker 5 (46:49):
Okay, I don't know where you keep hearing that, just
because you're reading the bill that we're trying to you know,
get votes on right now.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
We're not doing that.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
It's just you're like, wow, full of full on authoritarianism.
Speaker 5 (46:59):
But yeah, the fucking banner they unfrilled and like the
Squared set with Bezos, Slavvy said, if you can rent
Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
Ye with a picture of Jeff Bezos laughing up roariously,
and they really caught a bad angle. I think normally
he doesn't look like a super villain from Superman, but
they just must have caught him at a bad angle
because yeah, he's like actually that's what he looks like. Sorry,
never mind.
Speaker 5 (47:25):
Yeah, he's got like human growth hormone, mister magoo.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
Kind of that's basic, bitch too, fucking Florence, think about
these Lawrence Venice whatever. I mean, it's the same ship.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
Like a cigar Bart's learn a cigar bar.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
You know what. I'm kind of crazy, you know, I'm
kind of a guy who thinks outside the box, you know,
how I am always about innovation and everything. How I
decided to make packages go faster. Well, another thing I
thought about was, I'm gonna rent a cigar bar for
my fucking bachelor. No, you know he's going.
Speaker 5 (48:01):
He's like flying in master cigar rollers from Cuba to
roll them fresh right, He's gonna roll them.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
On the casino floor because I think outside the box.
Speaker 3 (48:12):
Now, it's gonna be off put by the fact that
they're blindfolded with a bag over their head.
Speaker 2 (48:16):
They just can't see where they are while they're doing.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
And I want you guys to experience something wild. For
the actual ceremony, I'm gonna take you to a city
where no one's ever been before.
Speaker 5 (48:27):
You ever asked your You ever asked your stove on
the beheaded on a decapitated head of a peasant before
you gotta try it.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
Never even heard of this place. There's the streets are
fucking water about it. They've got these things called gonbolas
god bowling, and you go in them and it's like
a car and that's where you go on the street.
Speaker 3 (48:54):
Some protesters were like, we're gonna fuck up the We're
gonna you know, protest, We're gonna women the canals to
block the waterways, and it actually worked. They're moving the
wedding outside of the city center. Protesters are claiming a victory,
which you know.
Speaker 2 (49:11):
Hell shut out to them.
Speaker 5 (49:12):
Hell yeah no, because they were like all these people
like two hundred billionaires descend. You know, it's like fucking
Oprah and shit, and he fought the Trump and free
Mick Jagger Evanka Trump.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (49:25):
At first, when I was like, when they said the
amount of private jets that were about to hit Venice,
I was like, oh, the people of the Baly you
could you could really do something special with all those
important people's jets there in one place, but I'm sure
that place is locked down, like fucking who knows what.
But the way they were talking was like all these
people are now booking up the water taxis and all
(49:45):
these other modes of transportation to get to the city
center for the wedding. So like their whole plan was like, Okay,
well bet you can do that, but we're literally gonna
block the canals with shit that floats and our bodies,
so good fucking luck.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
And that was enough of a threat. So I really
preciate that. I really appreciate that shout out to the
protesters of Venice. Well, Chris Crofton, it's always so wonderful
to have you here. Where can people find you, follow you,
experience you all that good stuff.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
Well you can come see a premiere, the La Premiere.

so sad and my brother trying desperately to like be
like whoa. I was just like it was the night
after and I was just like I don't know what
the There's no way forward, and he was like, well,
I mean one way forward is to change the subject.
Speaker 2 (51:32):
And I was like.
Speaker 1 (51:36):
I put him in such a bad spot. But then
he found this like thing where some like McDonald's tried
to launch a smoothie business and then like this guy
made some big speech about how going out of business
was actually even better than succeeding, Like he made something.
Speaker 2 (51:51):
In many CEO like he had a he had like
a I write.
Speaker 1 (51:54):
Him a speech about like, hey, I write me something
where I wanted something went out of business, but it's
actually better. It's like actually a triump. Yeah, And so
we ended up So go listening to Colburg Got Me.

Swish, is there workI media you've been enjoying?

where I go just go to Blair Saki's tweets. Yeah,
which is good too, go to Blair Saki's tweets. Yeah,
go there. You're never gonna be let down by Blair Saki.
I'm a big fan. And this is the one I
found here, just simply by some guy named Alan Debtloff
(52:31):
debt laugh. If you're paying attention at all to the
New York City mayor's race, I hope you can see
that the entire project of the Democratic Party is to
prevent the left from accessing power.
Speaker 2 (52:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:45):
I just that's such a beautifully simply put and it's
it is, that is the project.

but after we recorded this, so we don't know what
the results are, but we'll see.
Speaker 1 (52:59):

that's that's to me, is like, yeah, this is like,
I mean, all the neo cons coming out of the woodwork,
even Bill Clinton, fucking sex predator, endorsing a sex I mean,
it's just makes sense. People are shameless. Yeah, it's just
shameless people.

as has no brain activity going on anymore.
Speaker 2 (53:21):

Ozzy Osbourne being somebody who is selling his DNA oh

Speaker 3 (03:38):
It was they were like can of Ozzy Osbourne's DNA
can with Ozzy Osbourne's DNA sample. It was apparently a
can that he drank out of. It was not a
can that he jacked off into. Yeah, so I guess
I'm the bad guy.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Yeah, you're doing a lot of sort of wish casting.
I think that that can turns out. It's not that
he never said. It was just turns out it isn't. Also,

to do something where I was trying to think of
a song where I you know the thing about Well,
I like that. I like that we're talking about jacking
off right right out of the gate. Oh yeah, which
reminded me of the time, like when I was on
the show and I told I think were you both there?
(06:13):
When I I think Miles was just you were out
Jack When I said that like being a local rock
star was just like having one night stands where you
don't come.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I think that was you.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, remember that. I mean those were was you.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
That was what I was starting. That was you, Chris.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
That was when I was starting to get comfortable with you.
That's when I was starting to get comfortable. That sounds great.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That was a big Bill Clinton thing.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
The he he was always like he would have his
little affairs with the twenty two year old intern in
the White House and then he but he would never
come and he like talked about he was like I'm
saving up my power, and then the one time he
did it was like used as evidence against him. Come
based morality.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
What is he like one of these like like his
mentality is like Olympic sprinters from the eighties.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yes, I'm pretty sure it's fucking yeah, raging bull.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Just say that on Larry King or something.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, yeah, he came through, like you know, it's a
funny story.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
That's insane.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I think I heard it on slow Burn, the podcast
about the monicale Winsky. I've consumed a fair share of
content about that scandal were the mine was about alcoholism.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
It was just like, you know, in order for me
to play like a guy who had one night stands,
like that's really not my personality, but like I had
to get really drunk to be that guy. But then
you're so drunk you can't come to Yeah that was Yeah.
I was like, oh, I'm that guy who does one
night stands now yeah, except oh man, I you know
(07:54):
I got into character too hard, too good? Yeah yeah
maybe if I maybe, if I smoke a cigarette.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Do you ever sing a song like turn the Page
about how hard it is to go from stop to
stop and have one night stands but you're too drunk
to actually come.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
No, because that's not a popular that's that's not something
you're supposed to brag about, Like you're supposed to talk
about how you never ever have not come. That's right,
you come, you can't stop.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But like like Arnold Tchwartzenegger and Pumping Iron.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, I've head lots of songs about that, like about
how I can't stop coming stop.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, when I'm in the gym, I'm coming home, I'm coming.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The bus is full of calm, like every time I
try and get out of the tour bus, I can't
have to wade through the com but uh yeah, yeaholate
this part for the for the Instagram feed guys.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah. Yeah, this week I was thinking about I was
trying to think of a I can't think of how
to sing freak on a leash, But I was gonna say,
like crafting on a leash. That's that's that's why, that's.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
My You did like the trump version of an ak,
like I have the concept of an aka.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yes, but it's one of the best concepts.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
M h.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I've told you guys the story of pussy on Hold,
though in terms of songs about songs about coming, like,
I didn't write any songs about like coming, but I
did write a song called pussy on Hole. Like and
I say right pretty loosely, you know, like I was
we were rehearsing and and and we had this sort
of nasty sounding riff. And I was dating a woman
(09:39):
in Alabama at the time, and so I was like,
I got pussy on Hold in Alabama, you know. And
then like everybody in the band was like, you have
to say that, like you said it, that's the name
of the song. You know, one of those things when
all your friends, like you said, yeah, all your hair,
all your hairy dude friends are like, you gotta say
it now you have just that has to be the
(10:01):
name of the song. Except I actually did it. I
went all the way through and then I name a
song that. Yeah, I named a song pussy on Hold,
you know, but you know, it's not like it wasn't
supposed to be a good song. It was supposed to
be a kind of a joke, you know. But still,
Like when I started dating my girlfriend and I was
in the process of recording that album, she was like,
(10:23):
You're recording a song called pussy on Hold, and I
was like, She was just like, you're an idiot, you
know what I mean. And I was like, no, you
don't understand. And I said to her, I'm sure I
told you. I'm sure I told you the story. Yeah exactly, Jack,
That's exactly what My response was, basically like fucking rock
and roll, except I was forty one, you know, and
(10:43):
we don't understand.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Chili Roy said it's a good title for a song,
so yeah, So I to her, she was like, why
are you making a song called that?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
And I was like, well, I made a deal with
myself when I was like ten years old and whatever.
I said, like, if I thought it, I had to
say it, and if I said, you know, and she
was like, what are you talking about? You should not
keep deals that you made with you. She's like, what
are you talking about? And I was like, well, yeah,
you know, it's just one of those things where you
(11:12):
make a deal with yourself. And she was one of
a deal with She was so fucking just like looking
at me, like, you are so fucking stupid.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I was.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I was just about to quit drinking, unbeknownst to me,
and I was I was ready to hear this ship,
and she goes, you're a fucking idiot. I was like,
I think you're right.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And then she was like.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
And she was like, I was like, it's the first
thought that came to my head and that's part of
the deals you do, Yeah, you do. And she goes,
she was like, you ever thought about having a second thought?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Ship, And I was like, you know, I.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Like fell on the floor, you know, and she swimming
in my bones fell out. I slid out under the door.
It was kind of incredible. And then she was like,
then I quit drinking. And then she was like because
she asked me what my biggest problem was, which is
(12:09):
a weird question, but it was like supposed to be
a lead into her breaking up with me. I was
supposed to say drinking. And she was supposed to say, like,
I'm breaking up with you, but instead she said, what's
your biggest problem? And I thought drinking? But then I
realized I didn't want to say that, so I was
going to say something else. I wonder what my other
option was going to be, like not Joe's or something.
It's just like being I don't know, just too tired
(12:30):
or something. So what's your biggest problem? I just just
generally just being always tired, I think. Anyway, So I
said drinking, and then she said, well I don't think
I can, you know, be in a relationship. And I
said I'll quit. And then we were together like two
more years, which I think was not supposed to be
part of the plane round at the end. Yeah, all right,
(12:51):
but we're still friends anyway. That's the cold open my
pants fell down, Chris.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
We're going to get to know you a little bit
better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the
listeners of the things we're talking about today. The President
has you know, solved the war, solved, war ended war.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh no, as of this recording, that could be so
fucking different in the moment.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah, well it is already, he ended, it, and then
it came back, and then he got mad and became
first president to say fuck like intentionally on national TV.
He kind of said it like like a kid saying
fuck for the first of him in front of his parents.
You know, he's like, they've been fighting for so long,
they don't know what the fuck they're doing. Real big
(13:38):
kid swearing from his parents' energy. But anyways, we'll talk
about just what's going on there, so we'll talk about that.
We might even talk about Jeff Bezos's wedding, all of
that planning more. But first Chris crofton what is something
from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I was gonna recommend this channel on YouTube called he
Hezakia News. I don't know if I ever mentioned it
to you guys before. H e z A Kya. And
this person digs up like some pretty pretty like I
don't know where they get this stuff, because I'm like
all over this, you know what I mean, Like, I'm like,
as far as I can tell, I'm on the hunt
(14:17):
for this sort of stuff. And then somehow he got
footage of a Playboy mansion party.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Oh like basically b roll.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Like not narrated, just like a blakely lit video camera
walking around during a Playboy Mansion party in nineteen eighty three,
and well including a shot of the buffet, and boy,
oh boy, if you ever thought that the Playboy Mansion
was anything more than a nasty pimps house.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, then you.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Are going to be disappointed when you find out that
this place is so fucking sleazy and depressing. It's unbelievable.
It's just a bunch of charmless men making sex jokes
while these help. Plus, you know, nineteen year olds have
to stand there wearing geometric print dresses because it was like,
you know, nineteen eighty three. That's the only fun part
(15:08):
is like seeing what they're wearing stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But it's also who looks like they did so much
cocaine their nose melted off.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah. Yeah. And then there's some lady yeah that comes
in that looks like actually like a cocaine gargoyle of
some sort. And then and then there's but my favorite
footage of all is just the buffet. The buffet is
just like you don't want to go back in time,
Like I sometimes think like man I should have man
I should have been born at a different time, you know,
(15:34):
back when you could get you know, I don't know what.
I just imagine like a simpler time. But then you
look at them, like the buffet, and you think, jeez, man,
that broccoli looks wet.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
He's good at all? That proccally looks like that broccably
looks wet, and it looks like it's been wet for
forty eight hours.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Everything that's on that buffet has had the shit cooked
out of it. Yeah, these people were eating some wet salmon.
I mean, it's not that much different than now. Actually,
if you go to one of them, was kind of
because I've catered. If you go to one of those,
like those dinners are still like just wet vegetables cooked
by angry motherfuckers, and it loses its structural intakes. Yeah,
(16:11):
and I've been behind to see because they're like everybody
in that kitchen is like fuck these fucking I just
love eighties cuisine.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
One thing just looks like a serving dish just full
of hot lemons. Yeah, yeah, totally.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Some roasted lemons. Yeah, dude.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I used to work for Playboy.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Uh actually, like and Jamie Loftus and I both overlapped
working at Playboy around the same time, and I used
to go to the Mansion to like shoot stuff because
I worked on the video team. That place is the gross.
The fucking energy in there is so fucking wild. And
for me, as a kid, you know, born in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Fucking Playboy mansioned fucking.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Growd, old dude, right, And I went and I was like,
this place smells like shitty Grandpa house. It's like it's
it was like, I mean, obviously it's been sold off
now it's probably close to being demolished or something, but
the it's.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Stunk too, like it was.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
You're like, oh, this place was fun thirty seven thousand
years ago when before American people arrived on this continent.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Oh my god, Well, you realize that every single man
in there is I mean, anybody who hung out at
the Playboy mentioned they weren't hanging out to hang out
with half. They were hanging out like specifically to bother
teenage girls, right, yeah, I mean they were there. Like
everybody in that video looks a little bit like why
(17:29):
is there a fucking camera here? I mean there was
a little bit of that. They're like, who are ray?
I mean they were all kind of like, h like
this is but you. But some of the guys are
drunk enough. They're drinking like white wine. You know it's
going to be shabblee of some sort out of a
humongous barrel. Like everything was labeled shabbley, even the red wine. Wow,
you want some shabby this is red. Yeah, yeah, it's
(17:52):
red shabbily whatever. Okay, I gotta go talk to you
found it anyway. I'm just glad that, you know, someone
put a camera in there so people can remember that
even though the world's about to end, at least we
have like at least we have wet buffets. Yeah, we're
not serving hot lemons. The sex criminals.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
At least our sex criminal parties are like charred have
charred broccoli, now have a charge broccoli.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
And that's I guess, like I'm wrong though, because there
are what am I saying, Like, there's the day parties
and stuff. They're the same thing. This was just like
I don't know, everyone in there looks like they work
at all the men look like they work at radio shack,
and all the women look like they skate for ice capades.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
And it's like that it's before a time when like
everybody had like a famous interior decorator doing their millionaire mansions.
So it just looks like a house inside it looks.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Like a Hampton in Yeah, it really does, straight up
serving hot lemons and like awkward sex radio shack.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Guys, what what's something you thinks underrated?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Not seeing video of the Playboy mansion from Kid There,
I'm not, but thank you has kaya News for demystifying
the Playboy mansion and showing it for the foil the
hot foil filled with lemons nightmare was so I would
say underrated, you just say overrated. Let's go underrated first, Chris.
(19:22):
Underrated is my new single, Vitamin D. It's barely had
any time to be underrated though, because it came out
last week. Wow, and it came out like maybe maybe
it came out two weeks ago actually, but the video
came out today. Oh, the video came out today, and
it's a really kind of I think it's a very
pretty video. It's just me the songs called Vitamin D.
(19:45):
It's about me being depressed in California, and like they
wanted a quote for me about the single my label,
and so I said, sleeping all day while the palm
trees sway twenty seventeen. It might have been twenty eighteen
when I wrote it, but anyway, it's it's a I'm
really it's one of my one of my favorite songs,
and it's in the videos out today, and it's like
(20:06):
a basic basically a sun thing where it's like it
starts out dark in a silhouette of me, and then
it gradually gets brighter and the lyrics are on the screen,
which is nice. I like that, like you can sort
of follow along.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yeah, I'm so glad. That's what the vitamin D reference was.
Just to the sun and based on your pussy on
hold previous.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Ye come a long way, you know, Yeah, I'm uh
you know. And and the buffets are.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Better, buffets are better on this album.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah, there's like, you know, the further away, the further
you get away from peer pressure from lunkheads, the better
the buffets get. But that's not true. I mean I
was part of those lunkheads. It was supposed to be
a sex joke, you know. I mean that was like
where I was coming from. You know, it was like,
oh fuck, I'm not gonna talk about that now. But anyway,
(20:59):
so underrated is we want listen to me?
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Well, you just told us you're underrated.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I do just want to shout out that you have
a highly rated album on Pitchfork for people, like, for
listeners who don't know that Chris Crofton is not just
a comedian, not just a poet, but an acclaimed singer
songwriter with some great albums that you should check out.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Thanks. That's what I was supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I mean, that was what I That was what I
was led by behind the music led me to believe
there was some sort of career. Yeah, so I was
like planning on that career. I was gonna have a
helicopter with my name on it and land at the
Orange Bowl or whatever and get out and like playing,
play a couple of songs and then head back to Malaby.
(21:46):
I don't know the Playboy Mansion, which I imagine we're
a lot nicer than it actually is. Yeah, but anyway,
I thanks Jack. Yeah, this new record is my best record.
It was actually finished in twenty twenty. I'm not talking
about that a whole. Well, I don't it doesn't matter.
I don't think it. It's not it's meant to be timeless.
Like I always writ try and write. I mean, I'm
(22:06):
not writing of the moment, like about it. I don't
know what would be of the moment in twenty twenty anyway, but.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, it came.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I finished it January of twenty twenty, and then the pandemic.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
So you're like, I think Biden's really going to fix
this thing. That's one of your songs. I think Biden's
got this.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah, totally, I think Biden gets it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Oh man, what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Oh boy, oh boy?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Abundance? Okay, you know about abundance, seekung. I saw you
post about this.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Oh my god, I just realized that abundance isn't just stupid,
it's offensive. It is like.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
When you're just in the new Yeah, this is the
new like Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson like idea that
like the Democratic Party needs to like go more center
less like focused on, you know, the issues that have
animated them in the past and more about like a
sci fi future.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Deregulation. Yes, like that's deregulation.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Which has never swayed us wrong in the past. Deregulation always.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
We're in the middle of the biggest deregulation frenzy. We're
about to sell off our our goddamn national monuments. What
kind of deregulation are they talking about? Draining the ocean?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I mean like, I mean, like you know, the ocean
is regulated in that it exists, and I mean we're
tired of it.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It's all the idea that they can build housing in
like they can build enough housing in New York City
to make it cheap, which is stranged. That is not correct.
There's no there's only four cities everyone in the whole
world wants to live in because that's where the jobs are,
(23:57):
like and wherever oracle decides what their jobs is where
you have to live. So anyway, I just am offended
by abundance because it's actually taking up a bunch of
space in the middle of a coup, and there's a coup,
there's a fucking coup, and you're talking about abundance. I mean,
what an offensive thing to do if you're talking about
(24:18):
abundance during a coup where most people have, like you know,
let which has been proven over and over again, most
people have not enough money for a four hundred dollars
emergency who people don't want abundance, they want fucking the
bare minimum. This should be a movement. I mean, it's
(24:41):
just like misreading everything on. It's just it makes me
so mad because it's like for people who are struggling
more than ever right now, or being kidnapped by like
a plane closed vigilante group, the offensiveness of being you
know what, we got an idea to get out of
this while you're getting stuffed into a car, yeah, by
(25:03):
a masked by a masked alcoholic. You know, our plan
is abundance. How does it sound like, not only are
you gonna get out of jail, but you're also gonna
get a great house because we're gonna build tons of
new apartment complexes that are gonna solve all this And
it is the most obvious, like, well, what it is
to me is it looks like that's that's what's gonna happen. Sadly,
(25:25):
we're moving on. We're moving on. Those people who are
left behind, are got kidnapped, they're out of luck.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
We're talking we lost the kidnapping battle, we've lost the
messaging around the kid and we're talking about for us,
we're talking about how do we get the centrist to
vote Democrat instead of Republican because we're gonna tell them
abundance that's what's gonna happen. Not only are you gonna
have what you have now, but you're gonna have even
more of it because we're gonna cut regulations more. And
those are the Democrats. And Ezra Kleine is getting to
run around and say this offensive. That's the thing I
(25:53):
just shifted into like yesterday, realizing the reason this makes
me so mad is it's actually offensive be talking about
abundance right now, that that word is not the word
he should be saying.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
You know what, Democrats, if you want to get elected,
let's talk about meeting your needs, let's talk about the basics.
Abundance is just like a middle finger to people. I mean,
it's it's.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Almost it's just it's non It's like a fig leaf,
you know what I mean. Like the real work is
in dismantling all the shit that prevents people from experiencing
even even like of utopian sense of like like you're
saying the bare minimum, like how are people gonna have?
You can't say, well, it's abundance, abundance, abundance, but not
really go after sort of structural issues that keep people
(26:40):
from having the lives they deserve, Because if you're not
gonna do that, then this is all just fucking nonsense.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
It's noise, right, I just can't believe it. I just
I just it's it kind of it kind of stuns
me that someone would pitch it. I think it's meant
to disorient Actually, I think it's like for people who
are already disoriented, which is everybody in this country, whether
they know it or not, that like the pitching deregulation
in the middle of it is like when it's all
(27:07):
because of deregulation is actually a surreal mean trick where
people are like going to be so confused. I don't
know what it's like, but I can't think of a metaphor.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I think they just had like Abundance Fest last like
a few weeks ago, Like they did like a festival
for people who are like excited about this, and it
was just like a bunch of centrists jerking each other off.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
They should just call it rezoning and that people would
be considerably less of be a much you know, be
much less exciting, op ed.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
But yeah, it's it's basically trying to put a revolutionary,
like new, exciting, positive spin on what the Democratic Party
has already been doing. Like that center turn that turned
to the center, that idea of like kind of Clintonian
like triangulation where you're just like, well, we're going to like,
(27:56):
you know, make the business people happy and also take
care of people. But it just it doesn't seem like
it's seriously able to do that in anyway. It seems
like it's just more of the same.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Well, it means it means that they're they don't intend
to address what's happening that that that's that's that's the
train pulling away, the abundance train full of bananas and
oranges or whatever you conjure in your head with abundance.
I can I conjure those hats that are made of fruit? Yeah,
Like you know what I mean, like everybody on the
train made a fruit, and everybody else just goes to
fucking out Salvador and and and and I guess as
(28:30):
Wera Client's driving the train, and everybody's like, thank goodness
for for Ezra client framing our our luckiness as a
as a social policy. Yeah. Yeah, so I was just
thinking about that, you know. I mean, I think Hitler
was pitching some like really great lifestyle changes for the
people who are not Jewish, as well right, you know, like,
oh boy, oh boy, you're not gonna believe what we're
(28:52):
gonna do with Germany. Well not for those people, but.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
But we need our Laban's realm.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I mean, it's like it's just just strikes me as
a It just it just hit me. It hits me
a million different ways to make.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
I think it's because we're just such a critical point
and we know that the democratic establishment elite is trying
to recompletely redirect all this anger, like anti establishment anger
into something they can just be like, oh can we
can we.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Write this thing again? But hawkeem jeffries Man, what good luck?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Fuck? Yeah, hackem jeffreys Man.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
What the fuck should did.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
You hear that thing he said when he said he
was gonna I'm sure you guys covered it where he.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Said time and place of his shooting.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, that was sae.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
That was like we are going to address someone just
smack your what's you going to do? That was like
what I'm going to do?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
I that is do something at a time and place
of my That was gold medal words salad. That was
the next level.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
All right, speaking word salads. Let's take a quick break
and we'll come back and talk about our president's attempt
at social media diplomacy.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Well, you're right back, and we're back.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
And as we talked about yesterday, I mean on trends.
You know, the president thought he had ended the conflict
between Israel and Iran, celebrated it with a tweet that
was like an award acceptance speech. Yeah, and then immediately
like they just kept bombing each other.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Israel specifically dropped like all their bombs.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
They were basically like, oh, there's a ceasefire coming up. Okay,
what can we get done before the officials.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Cram for this, cram for the ceasefire with as much
death and destruction as we possibly.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
I mean, I think the moment was that's I mean,
who knows what's happening as of right now. But the
thing maybe worth talking about looking back on is that,
like there is this other thing, this subtext of him
always wants the Nobel Peace Prize. Yeah, and this is
another moment there where he was like.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I did it. Peace and love for everyone. You're welcome,
God bless you both, Like he literally bless you both.
Israel d round for giving everyone peace.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
And then you know, once he heard that basically net
and Yahoo just doesn't give a fuck about what he says,
like was like, yeah, whatever, just keep the arms coming, man,
Like I'm gonna just do whatever the fuck I want
to do. Trump really started fucking freaking out. So once
he heard that there was gonna be this other retaliatory
retaliatory strike from Israel, he just started tweeting all caps, Israel,
(31:35):
do not drop the bombs. If you do, it's a
major violation. Bring your pilots home now.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Donald J.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
Trump, President of the United States. He just types all
of that out in all caps, like, oh.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
It's like watching someone like it's like kindergarten president, watch
him learn on the job that Israel is not going
to do what you tell them to.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Yeah, I say no, I declare nen Yah, who's pretty consistent.
If anything, he's gonna lie about whatever he needs to
to drag the US into shit. And he'll also just
you know, he does whatever the fuck he wants. So
then after that, like right after he posted this, like
like a common kid marrow in all caps, he goes
(32:22):
out to like the White House lawn because he's headed
to the Hague to turn himself in for crimes against humanity. No, unfortunately, No,
that's how he's going. There's a NATO summit there, and
he gave some reporter. The reporter some insight into really
how front like, I think this a lot of is
to me. This reads are so frustrated because this guy
really thinks he's the fucking peacemaker in chief or some shit.
(32:44):
And when he realizes that he has absolutely no control
and commands zero respect from anybody, this is why I
think he gets flustered and drops the F Bombay, he says,
fuck what.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I'm saying the F bomb?
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Like this is NBC.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (32:57):
This is him basically talking to the press where they're saying,
oh my god, what's happening. You said there's a ceasefire
and like Israel like are they breaking it or is
he Ron doing it? He's like, oh, they're both. I'm
mad at them, both of both of my children. And
this is him talking about all that is too.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
In Israel.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
As soon as we made the deal, they came out
and they dropped the load of bombs the likes of
which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
I'm not happy with Israel here.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
When I say, okay, now you have twelve hours you
don't go out in the first hour. It just drop
everything you have on them. So I'm not happy with them.
I'm not happy with Iron either, But I'm really unhappy
if Israel's going out this morning because the one rocket
that didn't land, that was shot perhaps by mistake, that
didn't land, I'm not happy about that.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
That's probably the most forceful we've ever seen a president
be critical of Israel.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Yeah, yeah, right, But it's also like he's just learning
who they are and what they do.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
He's like, I said not to bomb, and they did
a bomb.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
Anyways with the heck, I said, I would give you
more bombs if you bomb.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
It's also so impressive with their massive loads.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
Yeah yeah, So into the massive loads part, and then
this is where like he's about to get on the helicopter,
he kind of comes back and just tries to explain,
you know what, what's.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Really going on with these two countries.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
You know what we have, We basically have two countries
that have been fighting so long and so hard that
they don't know what the fuck they're doing. Do you understand.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
That on that one there goes a Nobel Peace Prize,
mister Donald, I mean, I don't know he he he
clearly thought that he was like and I ate on
that one baby he I don't know so which to
me it sounded just so frustrate.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
I don't think he was thinking of like posterity and
like will I'm I'm breaking the convention by saying fuck,
because he's already broken every single norm that exists at
that point.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Like I'm like, yeah, I don't. He's probably said fuck
a bunch now, but like.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
It really feels like he's just so first Heason he
really thought he has I'm kind of control here, and yeah,
he does it because he's such an inconsistent and unreliable
person to negotiate with in general, and just say shit
like there's a ceasefire and he runs like, uh, what
there is?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
They're like, I mean we're first of all, you didn't
tell us that. Yeah, And also Israel.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Doesn't seem to listen to anything anyone says. But okay, yeah,
I mean that would be great if that was true.
Fuck they're doing okay. When you read the energy of
a kid saying fuck for the first time in front
of his parents like that, it felt like he was
building to that. I see, like I just see an impotent,
frustrated old man. Yeah, yeah, I see that too.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
I think.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
But hey, he contains multitudes. He can be giddy about
saying fuck on on the news, and you know.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
It reminds me of reminds me of one of my
physics teacher, mister Carlson said fuck in class because Jeff
Marvin finally drove him insane.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Yeah, I never.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Forgot it because he had that same energy. He's like
he was like, you know, he was like, I'm gonna
do something that's gonna change everything right now. Yeah, I've
made a decision, Jeff Marvin, because you know, you've driven
me too far. Because Jeff Marven, Jeff Marvin was just
always like listening, what's up?
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Man?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
He just should always be like you'd always be like,
just like, these tests are bullshit. You never used the right.
You give us these practice tests and they're like the
test is a thousand times harder, and these are all
bullshit and and everything. He's like he wasn't saying bullshit though,
he wasn't sorry. He was just saying like this is energy,
but just like yeah, he's just going down.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
You give us these tests and the practice test is this.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
This is like eleventh, twelfth, No, maybe senior year even yeah,
senior year. They're supposed to be going to Why is
he so shrill? Yeah? I mean like he was just
like belligerent. You know, he was a rich kid. You know,
I was going to school a bunch of rich kids.
They were like, you know, rich kids are kids.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
They're like, no, I don't accept that this is my grade. Yeah, no,
no totally.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
And they're like, my dad is what you know, CEO
of like All State or whatever. You've already watch out.
And uh, I have so many stories about the kids
I grew up with just telling authority five. Your's the
just the most offensive ship, you know. And so this guy,
mister Carlson finally just couldn't take it anymore, and he said, Jeff,
why don't you take your things and get the fuck
(37:13):
out of it? And then then the whole class went crazy, Yeah,
will take my fucking books and get the fuck out
of here, fucking asshole, and all this It was like
in nineteen eighty six, it was a sort of a
bit of turns out.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
You know. Now it was Jeff Trump Trump.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Saying that now it does not have the same energy.
But in eighty six that was something, you know, the
atmosphere in.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Eighty You got a thing you gotta understand about eighty six.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
There's this guy Jeff.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
Martin I went to school with think about saying fucking
oh man.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
So anyway that and also like I was thinking about
that movie Hypernormalization by Adam Curtis, that documentary that kind
of made the rounds a few years ago when people
thought they could still think their way out of this.
Or you can watch a droll documentary and be like, aha,
I wonder you know, I think that's what Ezra Klin's
still doing. Have you seen Hypernormalization? Honey to his wife
(38:08):
who like runs the Atlantic, Let's run, honey. Everybody already
knows about that. Oh, I guess I'll go back to abundance.
But uh, that movie's all about how this intertwined global
economy has made it so really nations don't exactly exist,
and so everyone's just doesn't know how to there's no
(38:29):
through line anymore. I mean Adam Curtis, he's not infallible.
I don't know, but the idea seems right.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, it's that that we are living in an age
where nobody knows a narrative, including the people in charge,
they don't know what there's no narrative anymore. Like these
these narratives are what keep humans in tribes. You know,
there's somebody who explains why we're doing this and that,
and there's nobody to do that anymore. Yeah, there's no authority.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
I think that documentary is like really a good thing
to keep in mind at this point, because I do
like that. So the thesis that I took away from
that documentary is like, there's this massive economic system that
is like bigger than any nation state, and it's like
its values are the thing that moves everything forward, and
then everybody else is basically in you know, this big
(39:19):
global economic neo liberal system that just like sort of
siphens money and like moves it upwards to like, you know,
the richest people. Like that's what's actually happening, and then
all like government and all politicians and politics is like
trailing behind it trying to like make sense of it
in the old.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Model of like how we understood the world before.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
And I think that is why some people, like I
think people have a sense of that, and I think
that's why some people at least chose a dictator. They
were like, let's let's go with the strong man, Like
surely they can't say no to him, right, like that,
surely we'll have like a dictator who can like stand
up to this system. And that's what we're seeing right
(40:05):
now is him being like I am the president of
the United States, and I say stop, everything stops right now,
and like it's just like right, yeah, that's not like
the promise of his presidency to the people, you know,
in addition to like white supremacy and just violence and
breaking stuff that like you know, has been hurting them,
(40:26):
was like I'm going to stand up to the system.
Like Joe Biden at multiple times during his presidency like
kind of threw up his hands and was like, well,
I'm trying to do this, but I can't can't do
the dang thing. And people are like, well, you're the
fucking president of the United States, and he was like,
I don't know, Jack, but like this is this is
Trump's Biden moment where he's just like he can't do anything,
(40:49):
and he's like kind of showing that in a very
public way that I feel like isn't isn't a good
look for him and his supporters, But it's kind.
Speaker 5 (40:57):
Of well, yeah, yeah, I mean but I think he
just also does it know how like to sort of
like the global order functions generally. Yeah, So he's just
completely out of his depth, and so he just he
literally thinks signing a fucking tweet with all caps President
Donald J. Trump, United States of America somehow is like
(41:18):
the seal in which people are going to be like, ah, yes,
it has come from on high. We must now listen
to him, because at this point the United States has
completely just put all any kind of any any global authority.
They had just set it on fire completely remove.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Actually to sign it like that, like yeah, like that's
that's like your parents signing a text to you.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
It was like that he's doing the thing where a
parent parentheses mom and dad yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:47):
Or the same thing where like a parent is like
you know, you know saying that Donald J.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Trump, you come in this house right now.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
You're like, oh shit, yeah, the full man. OK, yeah,
this is serious. But again, this whole presidency is unserious
and this nation is so unserious. As we get into
like an arrow where things need such drastic action to
change that, it's like, of course, of course he doesn't
know how to maneuver this thing at all like it
because he doesn't even understand really how any of it works,
(42:16):
because he's just so governed by his own greed.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Yeah. Did you see ever see a clip that was
going around just recently of like some boomer talking about
how America was the big dog, like about the tariffs.
They're like these tariffs, like putting one hundred and forty
two percent tariffs on China or whatever. And he's like, well,
he's like he was like probably eighty seventy five. He's like,
they're gonna have to come to the table because we're
(42:40):
the big dog in the yard, big Mark, a big
dog in the yard, and they're gonna have to dog.
It's like and you know, it's like everybody in everyw
were like shook his head like sadly. You know. It's
like it's like it's like no one ever grew up
after nineteen fifty, Like we won World War Two and
then everyone decided we were done with all the hard work. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (43:01):
Yeah, well it feels like you know that everyone is
they still think we live in.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
The old world or the old way of doing things.
Speaker 5 (43:08):
I think that's been so clear since twenty twenty and
it's just not it's not working as much as it
used to on people, like clearly misinformation and things like that.
But like even now when you see people like people
who like love CNN and MSNBC, they're like, they're.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Why are they all all for war in Iran?
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Right now? This doesn't even make sense? Like what what
what's wrong with the meeting and help the markets?
Speaker 5 (43:31):
Well not even that like that from them is just
just normal people. They're like, I'm looking at I think
enough people saw what happened, and I remember Iraq and
they're like, wait, they're doing it again. No, Like I
just I'm so sure you know, PuO me once. You know,
it's shame on you for me for me again. That's
(43:52):
that's the thing, you know. And I think again some
of so many of these even levers of control that
a lot of like you know, politicians believe still work,
are also just failing at the same time, and everyone's
just scrambling.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
Yeah, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
Andrew back and Jeff Bezos Jeff Bezo himself finally some
good news. Finally, yeah, some good news kind of actually
what he rented Florence and got married pissed off Italian people. No,
I was gonna say, just good news because I can
believe in love again. Oh oh yes, after things went
(44:39):
south with that last marriage, he found love again. Uh
you know, and that damn McKenzie, with that damn McKenzie.
This this guy find love again with you know, a
new person. And they say, and this is the person
that he was caught texting, I love you a live girl.
So it's also a sign that, you know, romantic poetry
(45:00):
is not dead.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
He is that.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
Now they're getting married in Venice and they were like
renting the city.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
They were like, we're gonna shut down.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
We're gonna shut down chunks of your city, which like happened.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
Like I've been places where like all of a sudden,
they're like, yeah, yeah, I know, you can't come inside
this like National Park or something because like rich people
are here.
Speaker 5 (45:28):
Recently I saw where some people are getting married, like
in front of the pyramids in Giza.
Speaker 3 (45:32):
Yeah the fuck Okay sure. Anyways, him being the third
richest person in the world, there was some attention and
the people of Venice were not thrilled that their city
was being shut down. They have there's been kind of
a long running since that the city values rich tourists
(45:55):
over the people who actually live there, and so they
started there too, also there and you believe they've got
that issue there. Whoa hold on n Wait, you have
to go to Venice, Italy to find that clash.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
That's like Nashville when they cut down all the cherry
trees to so the NFL Draft could have their stage,
and the whole town was like, what are you doing?
Those are like historic cherry trees and they're like, well,
replant them. And then there's some barbarous like weighted and
was like you can't replant them, and they're like, we're
still going to do it.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
We're cutting them down.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
They're like, we're still going to do it. I was like, no,
we're going to do it. We're gonna replant them. That's
not possible with a cherry tree. Yeah, but that's we're
going to do it.
Speaker 5 (46:32):
Well, we're saying it is just what we're going to
do purposes of moving along this conversation, right, But yeah,
it's a lot like the it's a lot like.
Speaker 3 (46:39):
The global hypernormalization. It's just like, yeah, but that's what
we're going to say.
Speaker 1 (46:44):
We don't need experts to weigh in on this. We're
not plant them and we're.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Not cutting medicaid.
Speaker 5 (46:49):
Okay, I don't know where you keep hearing that, just
because you're reading the bill that we're trying to you know,
get votes on right now.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
We're not doing that.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
It's just you're like, wow, full of full on authoritarianism.
Speaker 5 (46:59):
But yeah, the fucking banner they unfrilled and like the
Squared set with Bezos, Slavvy said, if you can rent
Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
Ye with a picture of Jeff Bezos laughing up roariously,
and they really caught a bad angle. I think normally
he doesn't look like a super villain from Superman, but
they just must have caught him at a bad angle
because yeah, he's like actually that's what he looks like. Sorry,
never mind.
Speaker 5 (47:25):
Yeah, he's got like human growth hormone, mister magoo.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
Kind of that's basic, bitch too, fucking Florence, think about
these Lawrence Venice whatever. I mean, it's the same ship.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
Like a cigar Bart's learn a cigar bar.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
You know what. I'm kind of crazy, you know, I'm
kind of a guy who thinks outside the box, you know,
how I am always about innovation and everything. How I
decided to make packages go faster. Well, another thing I
thought about was, I'm gonna rent a cigar bar for
my fucking bachelor. No, you know he's going.
Speaker 5 (48:01):
He's like flying in master cigar rollers from Cuba to
roll them fresh right, He's gonna roll them.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
On the casino floor because I think outside the box.
Speaker 3 (48:12):
Now, it's gonna be off put by the fact that
they're blindfolded with a bag over their head.
Speaker 2 (48:16):
They just can't see where they are while they're doing.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
And I want you guys to experience something wild. For
the actual ceremony, I'm gonna take you to a city
where no one's ever been before.
Speaker 5 (48:27):
You ever asked your You ever asked your stove on
the beheaded on a decapitated head of a peasant before
you gotta try it.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
Never even heard of this place. There's the streets are
fucking water about it. They've got these things called gonbolas
god bowling, and you go in them and it's like
a car and that's where you go on the street.
Speaker 3 (48:54):
Some protesters were like, we're gonna fuck up the We're
gonna you know, protest, We're gonna women the canals to
block the waterways, and it actually worked. They're moving the
wedding outside of the city center. Protesters are claiming a victory,
which you know.
Speaker 2 (49:11):
Hell shut out to them.
Speaker 5 (49:12):
Hell yeah no, because they were like all these people
like two hundred billionaires descend. You know, it's like fucking
Oprah and shit, and he fought the Trump and free
Mick Jagger Evanka Trump.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (49:25):
At first, when I was like, when they said the
amount of private jets that were about to hit Venice,
I was like, oh, the people of the Baly you
could you could really do something special with all those
important people's jets there in one place, but I'm sure
that place is locked down, like fucking who knows what.
But the way they were talking was like all these
people are now booking up the water taxis and all
(49:45):
these other modes of transportation to get to the city
center for the wedding. So like their whole plan was like, Okay,
well bet you can do that, but we're literally gonna
block the canals with shit that floats and our bodies,
so good fucking luck.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
And that was enough of a threat. So I really
preciate that. I really appreciate that shout out to the
protesters of Venice. Well, Chris Crofton, it's always so wonderful
to have you here. Where can people find you, follow you,
experience you all that good stuff.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
Well you can come see a premiere, the La Premiere.
It's only a second time it's shown well in the
world of this documentary about me called Chris Crofton Nashville Famous,
directed by my friend Seth Palmmeroy. It's showing at the
Allician Theater Allegian Theater on August twenty eighth, Thursday, August
(50:33):
twenty eighth at nine to thirty and Greg Turkington is

one of my favorite songs and yeah, you can go
on my Instagram and all that, and then also you
can go listen to Colebrew Got Me, like if you
want to hear. Last episode was just me just being
(51:18):
so sad and my brother trying desperately to like be
like whoa. I was just like it was the night
after and I was just like I don't know what
the There's no way forward, and he was like, well,
I mean one way forward is to change the subject.
Speaker 2 (51:32):
And I was like.
Speaker 1 (51:36):
I put him in such a bad spot. But then
he found this like thing where some like McDonald's tried
to launch a smoothie business and then like this guy
made some big speech about how going out of business
was actually even better than succeeding, Like he made something.
Speaker 2 (51:51):
In many CEO like he had a he had like
a I write.
Speaker 1 (51:54):
Him a speech about like, hey, I write me something
where I wanted something went out of business, but it's
actually better. It's like actually a triump. Yeah, And so
we ended up So go listening to Colburg Got Me.
Like the podcast two hundred and almost two hundred episodes.
Speaker 2 (52:06):
Swish, is there workI media you've been enjoying?
Speaker 1 (52:09):
Yes, And it's a real simple one and I did
my homework this time, because usually this is the part
where I go just go to Blair Saki's tweets. Yeah,
which is good too, go to Blair Saki's tweets. Yeah,
go there. You're never gonna be let down by Blair Saki.
I'm a big fan. And this is the one I
found here, just simply by some guy named Alan Debtloff
(52:31):
debt laugh. If you're paying attention at all to the
New York City mayor's race, I hope you can see
that the entire project of the Democratic Party is to
prevent the left from accessing power.
Speaker 2 (52:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:45):
I just that's such a beautifully simply put and it's
it is, that is the project.
Speaker 2 (52:52):
There is no left. And that election happened last night
but after we recorded this, so we don't know what
the results are, but we'll see.
Speaker 1 (52:59):
Yeah, okay, I s I mean yeah, yeah, but anyway, Yeah,
that's that's to me, is like, yeah, this is like,
I mean, all the neo cons coming out of the woodwork,
even Bill Clinton, fucking sex predator, endorsing a sex I mean,
it's just makes sense. People are shameless. Yeah, it's just
shameless people.
Speaker 5 (53:16):
I mean they're just going after a specific person who's
as has no brain activity going on anymore.
Speaker 2 (53:21):
Bill Clinton.
Speaker 1 (53:23):
Oh yeah, it's true. I don't know who he's. Who
is I'd like to meet who is?
Speaker 5 (53:27):
Like, yeah, you can you imagine there's some people in there,
like early thirties are like, oh shit, waiting for that
Clinton endorsement.
Speaker 1 (53:33):
Clinton. Imagine Clinton is Clinton to old run? What if
Clinton ran again? Abundance? Holy shit, gen Z, dude, I'm
I'm waiting.

I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
