(04:00):
I'm thrilled to be joined once again by my co host,
mister Miles Gray.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yes, it's Miles Gray. And that white smoke you're seeing

Look at Chris's face. He started grim miscing when we
did that.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
That's me, my Warren Oates. I'm not kidding. That's due
to internal turmoil. People like my whole life have been
saying you look like I feel.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
On my worst day. Hilarious stand up comedian as a musician,

nine hour comedy album. And also it's got an intro
by my mom. My mom read the intro.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Incredible, and she practiced.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
She practiced for the intro. I think I told you
guys by reading like obituaries out loud in the kitchen
because she didn't have a book. She's like, I want
to practice reading the intro, but you didn't give me
a book.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So that's the spiritual equivalent of your book.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Practicing reading obituaries out of the newspaper.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I mean, that's part of the newspaper. Bro. I love
that work ethic too, like nobody practices.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
And hashtag and sausted hashtag sad.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, it's like that dunk I forget who did it
in the dunk contact where he jumped up, dunked and
then as the ball was coming down, dunked the ball
a second time. Yeah, yep, that's yeah, Chris. Wonderful to
have you.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Hey, good to be here. I'm so thrilled to see you. Guys.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Trying to think of what actor you remind me of? Uh,
do you ever you know Warren Oots?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Come on, man, come on, this is this is stop
acting like my eighth grade ceramics teacher before we went on.
When we were doing this, you know, they're fishing around
for a cold open, so they these guys make they
make fake conversation with the guests and act like they
like them or something. And then I cut it all
up into some money making thing, and uh, I called
(07:37):
the cold open that everybody loves even though it's just
starting the show. But during that cold open, I told
them a story my eighth grade ceramics teacher who and you,
And then Jack said, like, how teachers back then and
like I'm talking about eighty three eighty four. Yeah, Uh,
they didn't. There was nobody like telling them what. They
just said whatever the fuck they wanted.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, so they'd be like, yeah, like you had the
regional manager from like a paper company in your classroom
with like a bunch of twelve year olds.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah. And the worst for me was the coaches, because
the coaches were the same way. So they'd be like
they'd be like I'd show up and like, you know,
they throw a few balls to me or whatever and
I'd miss him or and they'd just be like, you suck.
You're like eight, they're forty. So this this teacher said,
you look like Warren Oates, which you know, I was
(08:29):
in eighth grade and I had never.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Might actually use that as the cold opens Okay, I
doesn't recap him, but.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Anyway, Warren Oates, if you guys don't know him, he
was the lead character in a Well. He was in
a lot of Sam Packing Paw movies. He was in
He was the lead in Bring Me the Head of
Alfredo Garcia, which is a deranged movie. He was in
Two Lane Blacktop, basically just frowning and he always looks concerned,
and he also looks like grizzled. And he's a character actor.
(08:55):
And when you're in eighth grade and you never had
a girlfriend before, you're kind of hope and that somebody
tells you look like I don't know, somebody marking a
ball with other graders, you know, like it's something an
eighth grade girl he might find attractive.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Like Steve McQueen and so.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Exactly. That would have been something. But no, my teacher said,
you remind me of Warren Oates, and I said, who's
that you? Hopefully she was like, you know, but she
wasn't wrong, but she did say that she I do
kind of look like him, And I ended up playing
him in a music video. My friend William Tyler made
(09:33):
a music video and based on two Light Lame Blacktop
and I played Warren Oates. But Warren Oates, Yeah, he's
a character actor, not what an eighth grader wants to
be you want to be. You guys aren't going to
remember no one on the show. Someone google Willie Ames
or or you know, Leif Garrett. That's what you're not
looking for. You're not looking for Warren Oates. And then
(09:55):
she says, you don't exactly look like him. It's your
facial expressions which all frown. He's always playing an alcoholic.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
So she she was cute after he died. Also, I
just want to note, did he die that young? Was
like fifty four in nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
She actually was paying me a compliment because then the
sort of wax figure kind of place I grew up,
where eybody was just a bowl cutted lacrosse player. It
kind of was like a compliment to look like a
character actor.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Oh, okay, you got some edge to you.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah, but yeah, but she was. It was just an
odd thing to say to me, because she had to
know I wasn't going to know who he was. And
then when I finally found out, it was because he
was in Stripes, which is a movie that's also one
thousand years old. I love everybody's listening right now. It's
just like, what are they?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I caught that on Comedy Central with Bill Murray as
a kid.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yeah, so the sergeant in stripes is and that's how
I found out about him. And I was like, Oh,
it's the it's the sergeant from right right.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I guess I'd be like my eighth grade year is
like a teacher's like, you remind me of Hugo Weaving.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I'm like the guy who plays Agent Smith.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Anyway, teachers, shut the fuck up.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah, just don't don't don't comment on what I look like. Okay,
it's my turn. You look like shit? All right, Chris,
We're thrilled to have you. We're gonna get to know
you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're
gonna tell the listeners a couple of the things that
we would talk about later on in the episode, if
we were to ever get to it'll be a long one.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
We're talking about it all.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
We're gonna talk about Fetterman, God, Jesus. Yeah, time to
go five. We're gonna talk about Mega had like their
own fire festival sort of thing. It's like a scam
event that. Yeah, with like great video that highly recommend everybody. Well,
(11:47):
well we'll talk about it's a just great shot in
Freuda happening out there in the world. I might even
mention in passing that there's a new pope and he's American. Hmmm,
he's from Chicago, but they call him the Latin Yankee
because most of his work was done in Peru or
all that. Plenty more. But first, Chris Crofts and we
do like to ask our guests, what is something from
(12:10):
your search history that is revealing.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Last night, I was in ketamine therapy and so I'm
in the recliner and I'm on the high dose now
really like sadly the way I calm myself down when
when when the drug is first coming on as I
fucking look at my phone, which is so sad. It's
like it's like holding my little mommy, you know. I
(12:33):
look at Instagram and I'm like, I must still be alive.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yes, it's fucking horrific for people. For listeners who haven't
listened to the last episode. Keatdemine therapy is this is
actual ketemine therapy, like with medical staff delivering it to
you at a clinic. Yeah, not sitting on a pile
of old tires, like in a yard.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah, so I have chronic depression. I've had I've had
chronic depression, you know, ever since my ceramics teacher set up.
I looked like fifty year old character actor when I
was in eighth grade and I I started, well, I
started taking z all off at some point in the
nineties and then I was still drinking, so I don't
(13:13):
know what it was doing, but I was trying to
have it both ways, you know. I was like, I
could drink and also I'm like the doctors are always
like you can't do both, and I was like, watch me,
I'm a special you know.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Oh yeah, you haven't met year.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Old character actor. That's all I'm gonna say for the
rest of the show. Only joke. So so anyway, like
as all off sucks and as I've gotten older, like
it really, I mean, the biggest thing it does is
it cuts your sex drive down, which is not a
big deal when you're twenty eight, but when you're fifty six,
it starts to be pretty annoying. And it might explain
why I've been writing all these poems, because I'm like,
(13:49):
are you a poet? Or do you need supplements?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Right?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
So I think you know whoever that guy was hung
around the pond all the time, had low tea helpful?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Who is it?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I always get them. Yeah, you can't make any money
being obsessed with ponds these days, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah. Yeah, so uh.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I started talking to a therapist again about trying to
get off Zoloft, and I just they all kind of
have the same You either kind of can take them
and you don't have serious side effects, even though I've
never met anybody who didn't have have side effects, but
they allege that there are some people who don't. I
don't know. I hope I'm glad for them. But I
(14:35):
always get side effects, whether it's nerves, like if I
take well Buttrin and I go completely. They always recommend
well Buttrin. Like when I say I want to get
off Soloft, and I think I've used this, you guys,
I've been talking about on my own podcast, so I
might overlap. But you know, the time I took well
buttrick in LA and I was like feeling like every
time I take well buttra In, the weird energy I
get from it, which is actually anxiety and kind of mania.
(14:56):
I start to think I'm like getting better for the
first like month. But I was in the car, like
driving on the two, and I was like, I realized
that I was listening to Pink Floyd the final cut
really loud, and drinking of Vanila Latte, neither of things
I do, yes, And I was like, I do not
(15:26):
listen to the Pink Floyd sound possible, so possible. Pass
on a sunny day in l A normally, and.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
You may find yourself sipping a van.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
And that's when you finally say enough, well beuture and
you go back on Zoloft sadly. So anyway, I started
taking Kenemede. I mean, you know, I went through a
whole bunch of stuff. The brand of the drug is Bravado,
which I don't know if I told you guys last time,
which I think is so funny and I think is
called Bravado in the in the nasal spray form that
(15:58):
I'm doing it. I do it Mondays and Wednesdays, and
I've done about probably about fifteen, no, maybe twelve or
fifteen of them at this point, and I do think
it's helping. So I'm gonna make fun of it because
I think I talked about it last show where it's
just like kind of like doing kedemine a Jiffy Loube
or something like. It's like the people who help you,
you know, like they're just low paid people. Like it's
(16:20):
a venture capital model for every business, including Ketemine treatments.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
So you know you're not gonna have shuffle through.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Yeah, yeah, you just have these sort of like well
intentioned but low paid people trying to help you, you know,
and they also shuffle everybody through. They shuffle people through
every job there. So at this point I've held hands
with like just about everybody in the building while I
thought I was dying, you know, like and they're like,
you know, I saw, like you see the guy in
the parking lot blowing leaves, and he's like, you're doing
better man.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Today today.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Remember when you told me about your childhood for while
you were peaking. So it's kind of like dripping with
strangers and which is odd, but I have gotten to
be able to get through it. But Okay, so I'm
in this office park and you're kind of stoned on ketnemine,
so like you have the same kind of thoughts, like
like office park, I started thinking about that term, you know,
(17:14):
for a while, and I was just like, what the fuck?
Like even that, I was like, I think I'm having
a bad trip of only kind of parks America, you know,
like yes, you know what I mean, Like Office Park
was enough for me to like.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Top three parks number one, I'm using the park number two,
water park number three. This is the only three good parts.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
So yeah, so I was like I was already like
because it's like they give you the nasal spray, you
take three of them one and then wait five minutes
and then you have another. And that was the dose
I did the first couple of times, and I still
freaked out, but I have managed to calm myself down
and let myself get through it. And it's not easy,
and I think that's helping helping me. Is I realized
how wound up I am. And did I tell you
(18:04):
I found a Johns Hopkins katamine playlist? Did I tell
you that time last time?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
No? But that makes sense. I mean john Johns Hopkins
is like at the forefront of medical research, and I
think they do a lot of stuff now for now.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, so that's what I said to the Like, Also,
I talk politics when I get like high. So it's
like everybody in there was.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Like, oh God, this guy like here you go about
here you go.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Yeah, he's gonna talk about the fucking darkest ship when
we go in there. Let's not go in there. I
pressed the panic button and they're like, I'm not going in.
No you go, I don't want to hear about Irish history. Yeah,
from a guy says he's dying because I did that
one time. I talked about Irish history for a really
long time. I was the guy and he was like, Okay,
I gotta I gotta go check on other patients. Are
(18:47):
you I don't think you're dying, probably because you're talking
a lot. So I don't even remember what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
What did you just you just googled office Park.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
No, So I was like, this is what happened. I'm
looking at my Instagram on kedemy and I'm taking the
full dose now and I'm managing it and I'm feeling
pretty good about it. But it does help me to
look at my phone to just keep me from freaking out.
And then I listened to music too, and I did
look up some one of the doctors did say, hey,
do you listen to anything while you're doing this, and
(19:17):
I said, no, I think it'll freak me out. But
I was imagining listening to like Bob Dylan or something,
and I was like, no, there are Spravado playlists. There
are Ketemy playlists on Spotify. So that made it feel
like I wasn't gonna die because I was like, they
can't be making playlists for something that kills you. I
don't think, yeah, right, right right, And and Johns Hopkins,
even though Johns Hopkins is probably completely defunded and run
(19:40):
by you know, Kelly and Conway. Now, it still made
me feel better that it was a Johns Hopkins playlist.
I was like, they can't be making playlists for people
to get killed by. So but then that made me
think of a million that made me think of all
kinds of jokes, like I actually, I accidentally listened to
the Wells Fargo playlist.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
What is the Is there anything surprising here?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
We go, Oh no, No, it's just a bunch of
flute music, you know, like wood flutes and stuff. You
know what I mean? Like, yeah, you remember Sam Fear,
the magic flute guy. Nope, based advertises his stuff on
TV in the eighties, nineties nineties. Sam Fear was a
guy who was a big celebrity on nineties late night
TV because they sold his wooden flute music before you
(20:23):
could get like, you know, mood music on your phone.
So my friend sends me this on Instagram while I'm
on keemy, and it's a tweet. This is that vanishingly
rare occasion when someone says fun fact and then tells
you something that is just insanely fun. And what he
sent me was this WhatsApp that someone retweeted and it
(20:45):
says fun fact for the day. Carl Marx's great great
grandson has a park poor YouTube channel called exclamation Marks.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Wow and that's real.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah, So I was wild. I wanted to find out
if it was real. So I wrote Here's exactly what
I wrote to my friend. I'm on ketamine. I'm already
like pretty upset about the term office park. To show
you where I'm at, like really upset, like this is unacceptable,
like that kind of upset. And then I said, no
fucking way, please hold. And then I went looked. I said,
(21:18):
the world is bonkers. I'm in a recliner on ketamine
right now, in a quote office park. And I just
watched Carl Marx's great grandson Duparc and someone commented, the
floor is capitalism. Oh wow, this cannot be real, And
(21:41):
then I wrote, and yet dot dot dot. So that's it.
That's my that's my social media. I mean, that's that
was absolutely the fact that I watched Carl Marx's great
grandson du Parkour means that were absolutely fun.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I don't think the simulation could come up with that too.
That's too weird, that's too much.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
That's up.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll hear
some overrated underrad.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
We're back.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I gotta say. I just looked on the Johns Hopkins.
They got like playlists for like every psychedelic drug.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, it's pretty nice. Is it all flute music? Is
there any like? Are there any bops on there?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
It looks like a lot of it's like classical like
just stuff that's sort of I don't think. Yeah, I mean,
I hopefully i'll find any Andre three thousands flute album.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
No, there is Alice DJ. Better off alone though you
think you bad? I don't know if that's good. I
rave music from the.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yeah, you gotta be careful gotta be careful. You're you
gotta be care of it.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
They're gonna send a takedown notice. Yep, sorry, sorry, Chris.
I'd love to hear something that you think is underrated.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Underrated is let me look at my notes. Actually I
prepare it here. Uh you said underrated, right.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
You know what you've been on. You decide if you
want to go under I messed it up. I messed
you underrated, underrated looking at social media on ketamine.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
That was what my thing. So we could killed to
cover that. That was what I wrote down. That was
what I wrote.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
History answer.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yeah, we'll do it backward, kill me web search. I
forgot my web search. I did have one for the
web search. And this is just something if people want
to it's very boring. But I did see that there's
some guy who puts trained wheels on his car, like
he has a hydraulic system where he can retract it.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
And d the rails.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, have you seen that ship? Yeah, I've just seen
it backward.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
But I don't know if I've seen a car that
has everything, but I've seen it. I've seen a car
that had like the prop like the ship on a
car so he could ride on rails.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
That's it. So this guy like, it's just this video.
There's like two million views on it of you know,
some kind of hobby that you do at the end
of the world where you put train wheels on your
car and then you drive along abandoned train tracks without
checking ahead of time to see if they they're abandoned. Yeah,
or just like a tree. I mean they're just speeding
(24:26):
through the forest getting slapped in the face by branches
and they're just like you who, And there's like their daughter.
There's like a five year old girl in the car,
which I'm sure was actually bad ass. I mean, she
probably had a great time, and everybody in the comments
is like, she's never gonna forget this, you know, goes down.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
The Yeah, go head on with a fucking freight car.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Yeah, also until he find out it goes directly into
an abandoned mine right there by combining my two favorite things.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Or they run over a damsel as somebody with a
mustache looks on and snickers to himself.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yeah, you know, so that's just like if you want
to look, there's some people who go on train tracks
with I would definitely do it. This one that I
saw it seemed dangerous. Was one like a train track
through the woods, I mean going through on a train
track through the desert like that seems I've seen people
do that. That's kind of fun. But this guy just
ripping through the forest on.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
A I like, you've seen enough train you're like, Okay,
obviously we've seen the one where the dudes on the
in the in the desert, dude on the outfit is
on the riff.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
This guy was in the fucking forest.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Well, there's like a lot of abandoned train tracks out
by the abandoned mine. So every now and then those
guys probably get bored and like there's they put on
they build these little things that go on the rails.
I've seen that, yeah, yeah, but this one is like
this is dranged, Like you don't go through the woods
on them, on them?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Wait, why do you think the woods is more?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Does you want to get hit in the head?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Oh, you're saying with like there's the low hanging I
mean you can't takes you out.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, you can't clear the you can't clear the tracks
or see what's coming in the woods. So it's seems
like kind of insane to bring your daughter along for
like a you a mystery ride straight into a gorge.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I'd say no activity has been ruined for me harder
by movies than standing on or near train tracks like
I because like during the eighties, no movie included train
tracks that didn't then have somebody turned back and see
like white smoke coming and getting you know what I mean,
(26:26):
Like it was just it seems to me to be
an inevitability if you are near, like the idea of
driving on abandoned train tracks is like, well, that's a
fools game. Obviously it's not really abandoned, and there's going
to be a train coming like Ghostbusters to stand by
me like all those all those movie that was a
ghost train and went through them. But it doesn't matter.
(26:48):
It still pays off the like if you are by
tracks like it's trains coming coming, it's come like it's
never not happened in a movie. And therefore, in my brain,
I'm like, there's a ninety five percent probability when I'm
near train tracks that I'm about to get.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Do you ever, do you ever go near like a
like a train crossing that's clearly not active anymore, but
in your mind you're still like, nah, bro, that the
tracks aren't there.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah, I'm like, this fucker's about to blow through here.
Light it all up.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Man, now this I feel that way. I feel that
way too. But these these tracks were so overgrown that
I was like, not so afraid of, like watching this
guy do this. I was not so afraid of a
train coming because they were so overgrown. But but I
was afraid of like, you know, a snake to the
face or ah, or like a lemur to.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
The face, also an eighties trope, snake to the face
going through some over overgrown thing. You're gonna catch a snake, but.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Yeah, or or you come out and you don't notice
there's a snake in your hair and they go.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Uh, you kind of got something there. Wait I mean no, yeah,
you're right.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Yeah. Yeah, that was good. That sounded like a real
movie man.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
No problem, no problem, Hey, really good guys. Way to go. Wow,
you guys sounded like a shitty movie there, Way to go.
Really impressive. Good that you guys can sell like a
ship a patch you on your back, man, Chris Croft
and what some of you thinks overrated.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Overrated cowardly politicians.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Come on, now, I've never.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
And I'm just talking about this I'm talking about on
a serious note, that we just had ice raids here
in Nashville, Tennessee, and uh, people are still walking around
in yoga pants. Uh and and and playing indoor miniature
golf and stuff. And I just feel like, uh and
(28:49):
and and and this is sad because I understand that.
I think our mayor, who I actually know, was well
intentioned when he ran. But he thought Kamala Harris is
gonna win, and he thought some now things are just
going to be okay, and then he was going to
be able to be a fun mayor that was going
to work on public transit. And then Kamala Harris didn't win.
(29:09):
And I would argue that even if Kamala Harris had one,
anybody who's paying attention knows that something very bad is
happening in our country. So I just I just he
was hoping to be a sort of two thousand's Obama
era kind of mayor that's optimistic, and he did it.
(29:30):
He did it for the last few months like he
was like djang and going to every hot dog competition
or whatever the fuck mayors do.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
All Right, I'll stuff right there, because that's all I
asked for from my mayor is djang and hot dog competitions, those.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Judging hot sauce or whatever, judging longest hot dog.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
I think that yeah, like old time mayor ship, but
it is not old time times.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
It can fucking be a street fighter, basically.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
And he is in big trouble now, big because he
kind of had to, especially in a red state like Nashville,
but probably like Tennessee, but I would say probably in
every state. At this point, you have to make a
deal with the cops. You have to back the blue,
or you will the police will make your life miserable,
Like I mean, they'll just somehow a mayor is gonna
(30:21):
have to get elected, is gonna have to say something
about I'm gonna support the police because the police can
fucking take you out. So I think, you know, he doesn't.
He tries to like boost the police while also saying
he wants to help marginalize people, which of course makes
no sense. And and he's stuck in that place. And
then now the Nashville Police Department was seemingly involved in
(30:45):
the ice raids. They're not supposed to be by law,
but they.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Across the country collaboration.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
But they showed up and they and and Freddie has
my friend who's the mayor, is just in. He's he's
he's done, he's done. Everybody's fucking I mean, they.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Kidnapped people incensed because yeah, like for everything that you
kind of ride into office with, it's like where is
that energy?
Speaker 3 (31:09):
And how was he not prepared for this? This like
was certain well, first of all, it was like a
fifty to fifty chance or whatever right that it was
going to happen. But you know, people got kidnapped. I mean,
they got This isn't like, this isn't like checking. This
isn't a regular way to check for people's citizenship. You
can't stop someone's car and then throw them at a bus,
(31:29):
you don't. They did stops, they did. They basically just
put up roadblocks and just like in a in a
Latin neighborhood and just fucking pulled people out of cars
that couldn't couldn't in ten minutes tell them that they
were a citizen. Yeah, even though a lot of times
they don't even speak English, and those cops, I mean, anyway,
it's just like and now it's like.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Well on top of that too, they don't even have
an argument about public safety like every every story I
read about people getting caught up in ice rates, it's
like it's some kid in college who's like doing good
in school or a person who just goes to their
job and the whole time, like we got to get
the worst ones out, but then the problem, but that
just cover to do this whole terror campaign. But like
(32:10):
they've even lost this like argument that it's even about
public safety. Oh definitely, And I just think like that's
another thing where it's like, even for a mayor who
probably is afraid, you can at least say that it's
like these what where are the people? Where the criminals
that you're trying to get these people are contributing to
the country?
Speaker 3 (32:27):
What the fuck is this is not? You can't split
the difference on this. You can't fight a coup and
say you're a Democrat. That you can't. There's no Republicans
or Democrats anymore, no one. We're just not. I understand
there's there's no way for people to to get everybody
on the same page about that as impossible, But there's
just people who are doing a coup and kidnapping people
(32:48):
out of cars, and then there's other people there's.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
No Yeah, then there's the other people who are like, well,
I don't want to get, you know, elected out of office,
so I'm just gonna stay as quiet as possible.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
And I think that's what your point is.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
And I want our politicians to be I wrote it.
I wrote a column today, my advice column. I recommend
everybody read it. It's it was a sort of a
silly question, but it was meant to be. I think, oh,
I took it seriously because it was the question was
who are we supposed to root for? Between the sky
net Ai and oligarchs, who are we supposed to root for?
(33:22):
And I wrote, you know, we make I make six
hundred dollars a week. I can't root for anybody because
doesn't fucking make any difference. The only thing I'm rooting
for is we drop individualism and start collectivism, because that's
the only way forward. And I just, you know, I said,
Martin Luther King, Doctor Martin Luther King, pray for us.
(33:43):
Harvey Milk, pray for us. Eugene Debs pray for us.
I to b Wells, pray for us. You know, we
need real, real people, and you know we're not going
to get any of the elected officials we have now
we're elected before they somehow didn't see this coming. So
we eat all new people. And those are gonna have
(34:03):
to be people with people in the street, because if you're
talking about getting elected again and that's important to you
right now, then you are not on the right side.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
So if you have kids, I understand, like he has kids.
This is all a pitch for like, I want to
be mayor, but I can't. I'm not gonna because it's
just I can't. But but but I'm saying we need people,
maybe younger people than me, who don't look like nineteen
fifties character actors or whatever, you know, people who look
(34:32):
less mad than me, you know, who don't have kids
go in there, especially my age. We've already lived had
I've had so much fun. I mean, what do you
need to do, really, I mean, we're all going so
let's put our necks on the line for the kids.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean you had a pretty good
pitch right before you said you you want to be
mayor and you're ready to die.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Yeah, ready to die? I mean I don't want to die,
but I mean, like, did Martin the King Junior want
to die?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
No?
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Did fucking any of these any of these activists, but
they were willing to you know who they all died,
I mean, you know, and because they were like brave.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Well, yeah, spoke with conviction and and they they stood
on their beliefs a lot of the time. And yeah,
at this crop of politicians we have are people who
mimic that, but when push comes to shove, they abandon
all of those you know, sort of perceived morals that
they espoused on the way to office. And I think, yeah,
we need more people like just to not fear getting
(35:33):
voted out of office, because the ship you can do
in it one term, like the there is things you
can do, and then yeah, if they get you out,
they get you out.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
But at least you went in there and you still
for something.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
And I don't know who it is, but I mean
somebody somebody who's willing to you know. I mean, say
you get say someone gets into office and they made
a deal with the police, Well you go back on
that deal, now, right, It's as simple as that, and
you risk it.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
We've been doing it the other way for yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Yeah, and you risk getting shot.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yeah, but yeah, your point is taken that it's not
a safe position to be in to be anti police.
We will link off to your column in the footnote. Nope,
we should uh talk about somebody who's really talk about
like the difference between where they were when they were
running for office and where they're at now. John Fetterman,
it's just like it's getting like scary kind of Oh yeah, Yeah,
(36:28):
there's a New York magazine article that was published last
week about just like he like it's really like he's
getting into car accidents, he's like fighting people. He's just
kind of unable to do any of the things that
are part of his job, and people are concerned. Yeah,
(36:50):
his family, especially like the you know, he got into
a car accident like at a time when like it,
right before it, they were like messaging his doctors being like, hey,
like this is really unsafe that he's able to like
drive at all, and he like refuses to stop looking
at his phone while he's driving.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Yeah, I mean, just.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
All of it right, like wild It's all kind of
branches off from the stroke that he had on the
campaign trail and then from there like then he remember
he also said he was hospitalized with, you know, with
depression he was dealing with and a lot of people
were like, that's great, you know, like we support you,
and but a lot of his staffers have noted that
it feels like he's starting to regress in a really
(37:30):
measurable way. And also just stroke with like stuff from
the like auditory complications he has just from the stroke.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Apparently he's regular.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
I mean I saw a story about this a few
months agogo, how he's like his attendance has been really low,
like for votes and of like in this in this
magazine art in New York magazine article, people say he
just hides in his office basically like alone while the
Senate is doing business. One staff equol. But it's pretty
impossible to overstate how disengaged he is. He doesn't read memos,
(37:59):
he's taking very few meetings. The job is just a
platform for him to run for president. That's all he
cares about, which is like very odd because concerning how
much he's alienated constituents, supporters, and even his own staff,
especially around his like hardline stance with supporting Israel and
like every terrible act they make against Palestinian people, It's
just like I don't know how you think, like who's
(38:21):
your base exactly? Because many people are very confused as
to what he stands for at this point, just out
like this. There's a lot of stuff like from him
getting really fighting with his wife in front of staffers,
crying while facetiming with staff It's just all kind of
paints a picture of a guy who is definitely it
just feels like he's in over his head in terms
(38:42):
of doing the duties of a senator, especially in twenty
twenty five, with all the shit that comes along with
a quote unquote resisting Trump if any Democrat, I mean
the few Democrats that do, but that along with his
physical and mental health, it's just all like every like
so many of these articles about him are ending with
people being like, I just really think it's time for
(39:03):
him to really kind of take a step back for
like his own sake. Like it just it feels a
little bit like this is a little too much for
him right now, which you know they typically don't do
that for senators and the Democratic Party, Like yeah, no,
no push to it, but it just sounds like there
stuff is just so out there and in your.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Face that it's it's really hard to ignore. At this point.
Diane Findstin and like all these other people who have
been obviously like not able to do their job. But
you know, the Democrats are just that, I guess because
of the process of replacing one and like the game
(39:40):
of like having you know, having as many Democrats possible.
But it's just it's pretty ghoulish.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Today about him. They just you guys might have seen it,
just that he I mean, it's just more leaked stuff.
You know. It's like he freaked out at some meeting
with the teacher and like started repeating himself and then
said said, I guess quote, I don't know why, but
he's mad at me. I didn't do anything, Yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
That, everybody is mad at me? Why does everyone hate me?
What did I ever do? Yelling banging his fists on
a desk at five union representatives, and then his aid.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Cried, they like ushered them out. And then are these
aids And why.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
Can't they get other jobs? That's what I want?
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I mean, that's because that's getting into on a Senate staff,
Like getting staffed in a Senate office is like kind
of like you know, that's how you claw your way
into it.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
He was on for dear life, no matter what happens.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Yeah, and I think that's what, Like, you know, a
lot of a lot of the anecdotes and reports are
coming from a lot of people current and former staffers
who are just like, it's kind of it's freaking us out.
One I think his former chief of staff said he
was worried that he was not taking his medication like
his doctors.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Had told him to. And yeah, it's just again, this
is this is this does not look good. And also
like do you look at his votes, like like voted
to confirm Pam BONDI like, there's just a lot of
ship where you're.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Like, oh, he's whatever's going on.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
He took a silver pager or gold pager from.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Yeah, yahu.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
I mean he seems like his only policy at this
point is to violently support Israel.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah no, truly, that seems like the ones newly consistent
things Israel is not in Pennsylvania. Yeah, well, you know,
but again I think this is like one of those
things too. You fear the outside spending and like for
many people, that's apex spending that goes when you begin
to articulate Propalestinian talking points, especially as an office holder
(41:37):
in Congress.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Here's a joke about him, so staffers. One of his
staffers is leaked that they're concerned about him because he's
so sad. He's so upset that he's not even saying
fee five fox FuMB.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
When he enters a room.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
He's not even climbing his beanstalk.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
In your mind, he looks he's dead ringer for your
asking the new jack in the bean stock.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Oh my godam I you know imagine he's also like
physically imposing like I would. I mean, I bet they
pulled furniture in front of the door. One he was like,
is in there be like, I don't know why he's
mad at me? You know, just get outside?
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Fee five fo fum, I smell the blood of Olivia mun.
That's pretty good. Oh wait, why is it English? Mone?
Isn't how they needed something to rhyme with man fun
I can be good of an english man.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
Now, this podcast is where it needs to be.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Thank you, we're back, baby got They could have made
anything up. The first part is jib fish.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
Why not just I mean, if it's like British Eli,
you're saying an englishman right in English? Mon fee five
fem I smelled the blood of an English mun.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Oh damn that that guy sounded right proper miles. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
Think you could make money so many good ways back then,
writing ship like that, sitting by a pond, writing ship
like that.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
It was so fucking low man. It was a golden
age for people with low t They're only like eight
hundred people, so it was just like, yeah, oh yeah,
you see, this thing has just throws a banger and
then like twenty people read it and you're like, I'm
the most influential person. What do you call it? I
don't know, haiku, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
They're making a decent wage. They like, you have a
bail of hay. I love it.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Thank you actually too, Yeah, dude, what the heck we have?
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Thank you for making it too far keep thank you
for describing how fair a maiden my wife is.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
It was one of what's his names? It was one
of what's his name's ancestors talking about abundance.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
That's right, Oh, what's it?
Speaker 3 (43:36):
I forget his name?
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Abundance, the abundance thing, Ezra client.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back, and it's shot in freud o on
He's like geist every day every day, we like to
(44:06):
just take a quick look at how things are going
for some of the people who jump on jumped on
the Trump train and expected that it was gonna go
well for them, despite all evidence that everybody who sides
with him ends up getting sucked over.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
And yeah, at every level, even the grifters most of
the time, unless your last name is Trump, because they're
they're Donald Trump. I think doju is opening up a
new social club that's like half a million ahead to
get in, because again, everything's about access. And so the
first one hundred days was like this thing.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
Everyone on the right was talking about how epic to
first hundred days this ministration would be, despite every metric
indicating that it was a total shit show at the
fuck Factory. And this was a moment for Trump sickophants
to lie to his face, as we saw in that
cabinet meeting, about his greatness and also a great opportunity
for outsiders to grift. And would that cabinet meeting, Chris,
(45:01):
did you see the cabinet meeting where everybody just sat
there trying to be like mister President here the finest
human specimen of president. All right, I just like that
was what that was like the moment for me for
whatever reason, where you just like entered a new level
of surreal fucking you know, dystopia. Shit, that's just like,
oh we're we are in a movie now like this.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's quite difficult to live, uh and
keep your head on straight, especially with trying to raise kids.
But I think everybody you know who's doing it is
it's a damn hero because I do think that if you're,
if you're and I know people who are taking care
of their kids and stuff and in the face of
all this because it will pass. I don't know if
(45:46):
it'll pass with an ice age you have to wait
that long. But I mean, this will go away. You know,
these people will pass away, they will blow away, whatever happens,
and then you know, and it's worth hanging in there.
But it is right now. And there was that New
Yorker piece, which I wasn't crazy about it, but that one,
did you read? It came out today or yesterday, just
about like how my brain's finally broken. Okay, it was
(46:09):
just written. It's it's it's great. I'm just mad. I'm
jealous of anybody whos in the New Yorker but you know,
it's probably fine. I'm like, she's a pretty good writer.
It is not that good. Oh there's no advice king,
But anyway, so I'm mad at everybody. But but it's
a good article. It's about just a list of like
a laundry list of what people deal with on a
regular basis, of deep fakes, and and just politics and
(46:35):
just the endless, endless barrage of bad news. And so
you don't even remember what the bad news was, or
what day it is, or what time it is or anything.
You just are lost in your fucking phone and in
the Internet. And everybody is this is probably peak disorientation
for any human beings ever on Earth. I honestly I
(46:56):
think that's true. You know what I mean, There's never
been I mean, you were dealing with one dying this
or one guy trying to throw us fucking a caveman,
you know, I mean, like one guy's trying to hit
you with a club, and maybe is there's no dinosaurs.
I mean, I guess they didn't co exist. I don't know,
a cheetah whatever. You had two things, but you knew
they were real. There was like a deep fake.
Speaker 1 (47:12):
You had a tree, not a world where like half
of what you see as fake. The yeah that says by.
Speaker 3 (47:21):
Who Caveman saw a fucking deep fake. He jumping a
damn waterfall.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
I like that. You're like this damn Gia Tolentino, she's
so great, Mars.
Speaker 3 (47:35):
All right, Oh, well, you're probably not as upset as me,
who doesn't work for the New Yorker, right.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
Right, right, Well, at least you're gonna articulate both of
those that that that that's already sets you apart from
ninety nine percent of the people out there. But anyway,
so this grift right because everyone is now everyone is susceptible,
like you're saying, Uh, Two fucking hacks on the right,
one guy who works for a daily caller, another one
who calls herself an activist. They decided to team up
and really cash in on the excitement. The two quote
(48:01):
planned to host what they described on the event's now
deleted website as the official Celebration of President Trump's first
one hundred days at the newly trumpefied Kennedy Center. Tickets
for this event went from between one hundred dollars and
twenty five hundred dollars. Keep that in mind, invitations promised
an unforgettable evening where quote where quote, luxury meets excitement,
(48:25):
and I don't know what that means. There was also
a promise of access to individual guests, members of the
Trump administration, and members of Congress, setting.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
EIGHTHI generator right, Luxury meets excitement. I feel it feels.
This whole thing feels that I generated.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
When you do that, luxury meets excitement. I don't even
know what the line of cocaine is.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
What it is, yeah, I guess yeah, Like you wear
a ball gown while screaming racial slurs at full volume
and do a little blow and you're like, this is
the height of love.
Speaker 3 (48:53):
We're a luxury exciting Yeah wow.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
And you can get away with it. Isn't that luxurious?
Speaker 3 (48:58):
Unbelievable?
Speaker 2 (49:00):
So the problems began immediately once Trump announced that a
rally in Michigan would be the event that marked the
first hundred days. And once that potential big draw just
went poof, the Kennedy Center canceled the contract with the organizers,
and it forced the event to move to the equally
glamorous Arlington, Virginia.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
Okay and okay, yeah, I mean things still good. Still
pretty good. It's not like geographically not that far from Washington,
d C. So it's basically the president's approving the envy.
Speaker 2 (49:29):
Yeah, you're there, you're there, you're selling access things. Get
this is where things. This is where the details get
real fucking spicy. So problems multiplied from there. McMillan, who's
one of the organizers, acknowledged that she asked attendees with
comps tickets to bring bottles of alcohol to fill out
the bar, even though the website promised, quote premium drinks.
Another organizer himself asked the husband of a photographer who
(49:52):
had been hired to shoot the event to bring some alcohol.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
As well the men to bring alcohol.
Speaker 2 (49:58):
The man then warned the organizer to call off the
party before a fire festival style debacle ensued. Quote you're
charging big money for this thing, and people won't be
getting what they paid for, the man wrote, According to
messages later, when the photographer realized she wouldn't be paid
to shoot the party, she.
Speaker 1 (50:15):
Canceled the Instagram. The Instagram account under one of the
organizer's names subsequently sent a message to the photographer with
the line fuck you whore.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
Both organizers deny that he sent the message, but they
won't say who did.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
Well, it wasn't us, and so who did it? Ah,
we're not at liberty to say we're just as bothered
by it as you are, but we can't say who
did twenty from our account.
Speaker 3 (50:41):
In twenty twenty five. Denying something means you did it.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
Yeah, yeah, truly. It's it is actually just kind of
noteworthy that they went through the effort of denying it.
Oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
And that's when like shit gets so that but then
their defenses of it or what so, Okay, the event,
the event finally come and it was I mean, was
it a success? I guess if you consider the fact
that it looked like total shit and people called the
cops on them for not delivering what was promised.
Speaker 1 (51:10):
Yeah. One guests said, quote there was no VIP, there
was no red carpet like they promised. Like when I
bought my ticket, we also said we would be quote
in the company of high profile guests. I have no
idea who those would have been, because I didn't see
anybody high profile. When asked if she had a different
explanation for the ticket packages, right, because tickets were between
like two hundred and two thousand dollars, Like, what explanation
(51:32):
for different ticket packages not being what they were advertised?
The organizer just said no.
Speaker 2 (51:38):
The website also mimicked the official White House website. This
is this is where the grift really comes in. And
one of the organizers, again this woman was asked, isn't
that deceptive to like have this sort of font, color scheme,
everything mimic the official White House website while you're calling
it the official hundred Days party.
Speaker 1 (51:55):
She says, this is her defense quote.
Speaker 2 (51:56):
If a color scheme and font needs somebody to believe
although there are words on the website, they'd say exactly
who the host is that this must be the White
House putting this on.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
I don't know what to tell that person. Wow. So yeah, real, real,
real awesome grifters. Can you just explain, like what was
the different? No? No, okay, I mean it looked cool,
It looked fun. Man, I don't know, like you gotta
kind of be there. It's one of those things where
you gotta be there. Oh, I'm sorry, or looked tight.
(52:27):
I'm sorry. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:28):
This one clip from the dance floor is humiliating. This
is from so the local GOP like outfit in Arlington, Virginia.
They started posting shit because they're like, this is a grift.
Beware of these fucking people, Chris, have you ever been
to a party that looked this fucking sick? I'm just
gonna play from the top. There's like literally eight people
(52:48):
on the dance floor. There's a guy with a puppet
on the ground. There's dancing.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
He's not This guy's a maga hat he's waving around.
Looks like a total dipshit this I.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Don't know this guy on there's a guy on the
ground I think doing like a triumph type bit mm hmmm,
because he's like just holding a puppet but laying down
in front of a woman.
Speaker 3 (53:11):
It's all that's the worst looking party you ever saw
in my life.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (53:14):
Yeah, And you can't party with he can't party with
a bunch of I mean, that's the thing is nobody.
It's hard to say, but you know, it's like they've reinvented.
They wanted to be the popular kids, you know, so
they're like the only way they can do it is
with violence. So that's what they're doing. So they've they've
gotten to the top of the power structure. So now
(53:35):
they're the popular brands as far as they're concerned, but.
Speaker 1 (53:38):
Enforced popular kiddom.
Speaker 3 (53:40):
But the kind of trash that they are makes it
so nobody. They're still not going to have fun because
they don't understand that charmless people have to get their
shit together and become like, I don't know what, you know,
do some work on themselves. You know. I know it's
a popular thing to say, but someone like Donald Trump Junior,
(54:02):
if he wants to have friends that are fun, he's
gonna have to become a whole different person. You know.
The kind of people who are gonna come to Donald
Trump's party are guaranteed to make him sad because he's
expecting it to be. Like he really you know, he
hates Robert de Niro, but he would love it if
Robert de Niro would come. Like, these people are never
gonna get what they want, which is actually approval from celebrities,
(54:24):
like liberal celebrities, and they're never gonna get it, so
they're stuck with just like another guy who thought violence
was a way to get popular.
Speaker 2 (54:32):
Yeah, I mean, they all share the thing where every
person who like rises up on the like conservative side
of things, I mean and either side, but like really
it's really pronounced with the right right wingers especially who
just go, no, it can't be that I'm the problem here, right,
it's everything else. It's not me, and everything else needs
to change.
Speaker 3 (54:52):
Like, yeah, I'm gonna rearrange the world so i have
a good time, instead of realizing the reason I'm not
having a good time is because I probably we have
a ton of trauma. Yeah yeah, yeah, these motherfuckers were
not loved. I'm not saying that that excuse is anything,
because it doesn't because there's lots of unloved people who
who oh fucking I don't care.
Speaker 1 (55:18):
I think we end on that. Chris crofton what a
pleasure having you on the podcast? Where can people find you?

Speaker 3 (59:24):
You know, this is the one I always let everybody

not important, but I just have a hard time. I've
been like enjoying I'll just tell you. And I've been
enjoying the Red and Stimpy Instagram account, and I recommend
it's just somebody. I don't know if it has something
to do with the actual like people who made it,
(59:45):
but it's just it's just great clips of some of
the greats. I don't know if you guys remember Ren
and Stimpy, but it's an absolutely great show. And and
and RN is this deranged chihuahua and Stimpy is this cat.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Hey, good to be here. I'm so thrilled to see you. Guys.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Trying to think of what actor you remind me of? Uh,
do you ever you know Warren Oots?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Come on, man, come on, this is this is stop
acting like my eighth grade ceramics teacher before we went on.
When we were doing this, you know, they're fishing around
for a cold open, so they these guys make they
make fake conversation with the guests and act like they
like them or something. And then I cut it all
up into some money making thing, and uh, I called
(07:37):
the cold open that everybody loves even though it's just
starting the show. But during that cold open, I told
them a story my eighth grade ceramics teacher who and you,
And then Jack said, like, how teachers back then and
like I'm talking about eighty three eighty four. Yeah, Uh,
they didn't. There was nobody like telling them what. They
just said whatever the fuck they wanted.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, so they'd be like, yeah, like you had the
regional manager from like a paper company in your classroom
with like a bunch of twelve year olds.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah. And the worst for me was the coaches, because
the coaches were the same way. So they'd be like
they'd be like I'd show up and like, you know,
they throw a few balls to me or whatever and
I'd miss him or and they'd just be like, you suck.
You're like eight, they're forty. So this this teacher said,
you look like Warren Oates, which you know, I was
(08:29):
in eighth grade and I had never.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Might actually use that as the cold opens Okay, I
doesn't recap him, but.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Anyway, Warren Oates, if you guys don't know him, he
was the lead character in a Well. He was in
a lot of Sam Packing Paw movies. He was in
He was the lead in Bring Me the Head of
Alfredo Garcia, which is a deranged movie. He was in
Two Lane Blacktop, basically just frowning and he always looks concerned,
and he also looks like grizzled. And he's a character actor.
(08:55):
And when you're in eighth grade and you never had
a girlfriend before, you're kind of hope and that somebody
tells you look like I don't know, somebody marking a
ball with other graders, you know, like it's something an
eighth grade girl he might find attractive.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Like Steve McQueen and so.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Exactly. That would have been something. But no, my teacher said,
you remind me of Warren Oates, and I said, who's
that you? Hopefully she was like, you know, but she
wasn't wrong, but she did say that she I do
kind of look like him, And I ended up playing
him in a music video. My friend William Tyler made
(09:33):
a music video and based on two Light Lame Blacktop
and I played Warren Oates. But Warren Oates, Yeah, he's
a character actor, not what an eighth grader wants to
be you want to be. You guys aren't going to
remember no one on the show. Someone google Willie Ames
or or you know, Leif Garrett. That's what you're not
looking for. You're not looking for Warren Oates. And then
(09:55):
she says, you don't exactly look like him. It's your
facial expressions which all frown. He's always playing an alcoholic.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
So she she was cute after he died. Also, I
just want to note, did he die that young? Was
like fifty four in nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
She actually was paying me a compliment because then the
sort of wax figure kind of place I grew up,
where eybody was just a bowl cutted lacrosse player. It
kind of was like a compliment to look like a
character actor.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Oh, okay, you got some edge to you.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah, but yeah, but she was. It was just an
odd thing to say to me, because she had to
know I wasn't going to know who he was. And
then when I finally found out, it was because he
was in Stripes, which is a movie that's also one
thousand years old. I love everybody's listening right now. It's
just like, what are they?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I caught that on Comedy Central with Bill Murray as
a kid.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yeah, so the sergeant in stripes is and that's how
I found out about him. And I was like, Oh,
it's the it's the sergeant from right right.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I guess I'd be like my eighth grade year is
like a teacher's like, you remind me of Hugo Weaving.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I'm like the guy who plays Agent Smith.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Anyway, teachers, shut the fuck up.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah, just don't don't don't comment on what I look like. Okay,
it's my turn. You look like shit? All right, Chris,
We're thrilled to have you. We're gonna get to know
you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're
gonna tell the listeners a couple of the things that
we would talk about later on in the episode, if
we were to ever get to it'll be a long one.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
We're talking about it all.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
We're gonna talk about Fetterman, God, Jesus. Yeah, time to
go five. We're gonna talk about Mega had like their
own fire festival sort of thing. It's like a scam
event that. Yeah, with like great video that highly recommend everybody. Well,
(11:47):
well we'll talk about it's a just great shot in
Freuda happening out there in the world. I might even
mention in passing that there's a new pope and he's American. Hmmm,
he's from Chicago, but they call him the Latin Yankee
because most of his work was done in Peru or
all that. Plenty more. But first, Chris Crofts and we
do like to ask our guests, what is something from
(12:10):
your search history that is revealing.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Last night, I was in ketamine therapy and so I'm
in the recliner and I'm on the high dose now
really like sadly the way I calm myself down when
when when the drug is first coming on as I
fucking look at my phone, which is so sad. It's
like it's like holding my little mommy, you know. I
(12:33):
look at Instagram and I'm like, I must still be alive.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yes, it's fucking horrific for people. For listeners who haven't
listened to the last episode. Keatdemine therapy is this is
actual ketemine therapy, like with medical staff delivering it to
you at a clinic. Yeah, not sitting on a pile
of old tires, like in a yard.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah, so I have chronic depression. I've had I've had
chronic depression, you know, ever since my ceramics teacher set up.
I looked like fifty year old character actor when I
was in eighth grade and I I started, well, I
started taking z all off at some point in the
nineties and then I was still drinking, so I don't
(13:13):
know what it was doing, but I was trying to
have it both ways, you know. I was like, I
could drink and also I'm like the doctors are always
like you can't do both, and I was like, watch me,
I'm a special you know.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Oh yeah, you haven't met year.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Old character actor. That's all I'm gonna say for the
rest of the show. Only joke. So so anyway, like
as all off sucks and as I've gotten older, like
it really, I mean, the biggest thing it does is
it cuts your sex drive down, which is not a
big deal when you're twenty eight, but when you're fifty six,
it starts to be pretty annoying. And it might explain
why I've been writing all these poems, because I'm like,
(13:49):
are you a poet? Or do you need supplements?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Right?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
So I think you know whoever that guy was hung
around the pond all the time, had low tea helpful?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Who is it?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I always get them. Yeah, you can't make any money
being obsessed with ponds these days, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah. Yeah, so uh.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I started talking to a therapist again about trying to
get off Zoloft, and I just they all kind of
have the same You either kind of can take them
and you don't have serious side effects, even though I've
never met anybody who didn't have have side effects, but
they allege that there are some people who don't. I
don't know. I hope I'm glad for them. But I
(14:35):
always get side effects, whether it's nerves, like if I
take well Buttrin and I go completely. They always recommend
well Buttrin. Like when I say I want to get
off Soloft, and I think I've used this, you guys,
I've been talking about on my own podcast, so I
might overlap. But you know, the time I took well
buttrick in LA and I was like feeling like every
time I take well buttra In, the weird energy I
get from it, which is actually anxiety and kind of mania.
(14:56):
I start to think I'm like getting better for the
first like month. But I was in the car, like
driving on the two, and I was like, I realized
that I was listening to Pink Floyd the final cut
really loud, and drinking of Vanila Latte, neither of things
I do, yes, And I was like, I do not
(15:26):
listen to the Pink Floyd sound possible, so possible. Pass
on a sunny day in l A normally, and.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
You may find yourself sipping a van.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
And that's when you finally say enough, well beuture and
you go back on Zoloft sadly. So anyway, I started
taking Kenemede. I mean, you know, I went through a
whole bunch of stuff. The brand of the drug is Bravado,
which I don't know if I told you guys last time,
which I think is so funny and I think is
called Bravado in the in the nasal spray form that
(15:58):
I'm doing it. I do it Mondays and Wednesdays, and
I've done about probably about fifteen, no, maybe twelve or
fifteen of them at this point, and I do think
it's helping. So I'm gonna make fun of it because
I think I talked about it last show where it's
just like kind of like doing kedemine a Jiffy Loube
or something like. It's like the people who help you,
you know, like they're just low paid people. Like it's
(16:20):
a venture capital model for every business, including Ketemine treatments.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
So you know you're not gonna have shuffle through.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Yeah, yeah, you just have these sort of like well
intentioned but low paid people trying to help you, you know,
and they also shuffle everybody through. They shuffle people through
every job there. So at this point I've held hands
with like just about everybody in the building while I
thought I was dying, you know, like and they're like,
you know, I saw, like you see the guy in
the parking lot blowing leaves, and he's like, you're doing
better man.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Today today.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Remember when you told me about your childhood for while
you were peaking. So it's kind of like dripping with
strangers and which is odd, but I have gotten to
be able to get through it. But Okay, so I'm
in this office park and you're kind of stoned on ketnemine,
so like you have the same kind of thoughts, like
like office park, I started thinking about that term, you know,
(17:14):
for a while, and I was just like, what the fuck?
Like even that, I was like, I think I'm having
a bad trip of only kind of parks America, you know,
like yes, you know what I mean, Like Office Park
was enough for me to like.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Top three parks number one, I'm using the park number two,
water park number three. This is the only three good parts.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
So yeah, so I was like I was already like
because it's like they give you the nasal spray, you
take three of them one and then wait five minutes
and then you have another. And that was the dose
I did the first couple of times, and I still
freaked out, but I have managed to calm myself down
and let myself get through it. And it's not easy,
and I think that's helping helping me. Is I realized
how wound up I am. And did I tell you
(18:04):
I found a Johns Hopkins katamine playlist? Did I tell
you that time last time?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
No? But that makes sense. I mean john Johns Hopkins
is like at the forefront of medical research, and I
think they do a lot of stuff now for now.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, so that's what I said to the Like, Also,
I talk politics when I get like high. So it's
like everybody in there was.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Like, oh God, this guy like here you go about
here you go.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Yeah, he's gonna talk about the fucking darkest ship when
we go in there. Let's not go in there. I
pressed the panic button and they're like, I'm not going in.
No you go, I don't want to hear about Irish history. Yeah,
from a guy says he's dying because I did that
one time. I talked about Irish history for a really
long time. I was the guy and he was like, Okay,
I gotta I gotta go check on other patients. Are
(18:47):
you I don't think you're dying, probably because you're talking
a lot. So I don't even remember what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
What did you just you just googled office Park.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
No, So I was like, this is what happened. I'm
looking at my Instagram on kedemy and I'm taking the
full dose now and I'm managing it and I'm feeling
pretty good about it. But it does help me to
look at my phone to just keep me from freaking out.
And then I listened to music too, and I did
look up some one of the doctors did say, hey,
do you listen to anything while you're doing this, and
(19:17):
I said, no, I think it'll freak me out. But
I was imagining listening to like Bob Dylan or something,
and I was like, no, there are Spravado playlists. There
are Ketemy playlists on Spotify. So that made it feel
like I wasn't gonna die because I was like, they
can't be making playlists for something that kills you. I
don't think, yeah, right, right right, And and Johns Hopkins,
even though Johns Hopkins is probably completely defunded and run
(19:40):
by you know, Kelly and Conway. Now, it still made
me feel better that it was a Johns Hopkins playlist.
I was like, they can't be making playlists for people
to get killed by. So but then that made me
think of a million that made me think of all
kinds of jokes, like I actually, I accidentally listened to
the Wells Fargo playlist.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
What is the Is there anything surprising here?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
We go, Oh no, No, it's just a bunch of
flute music, you know, like wood flutes and stuff. You
know what I mean? Like, yeah, you remember Sam Fear,
the magic flute guy. Nope, based advertises his stuff on
TV in the eighties, nineties nineties. Sam Fear was a
guy who was a big celebrity on nineties late night
TV because they sold his wooden flute music before you
(20:23):
could get like, you know, mood music on your phone.
So my friend sends me this on Instagram while I'm
on keemy, and it's a tweet. This is that vanishingly
rare occasion when someone says fun fact and then tells
you something that is just insanely fun. And what he
sent me was this WhatsApp that someone retweeted and it
(20:45):
says fun fact for the day. Carl Marx's great great
grandson has a park poor YouTube channel called exclamation Marks.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Wow and that's real.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah, So I was wild. I wanted to find out
if it was real. So I wrote Here's exactly what
I wrote to my friend. I'm on ketamine. I'm already
like pretty upset about the term office park. To show
you where I'm at, like really upset, like this is unacceptable,
like that kind of upset. And then I said, no
fucking way, please hold. And then I went looked. I said,
(21:18):
the world is bonkers. I'm in a recliner on ketamine
right now, in a quote office park. And I just
watched Carl Marx's great grandson Duparc and someone commented, the
floor is capitalism. Oh wow, this cannot be real, And
(21:41):
then I wrote, and yet dot dot dot. So that's it.
That's my that's my social media. I mean, that's that
was absolutely the fact that I watched Carl Marx's great
grandson du Parkour means that were absolutely fun.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I don't think the simulation could come up with that too.
That's too weird, that's too much.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
That's up.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll hear
some overrated underrad.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
We're back.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I gotta say. I just looked on the Johns Hopkins.
They got like playlists for like every psychedelic drug.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, it's pretty nice. Is it all flute music? Is
there any like? Are there any bops on there?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
It looks like a lot of it's like classical like
just stuff that's sort of I don't think. Yeah, I mean,
I hopefully i'll find any Andre three thousands flute album.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
No, there is Alice DJ. Better off alone though you
think you bad? I don't know if that's good. I
rave music from the.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yeah, you gotta be careful gotta be careful. You're you
gotta be care of it.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
They're gonna send a takedown notice. Yep, sorry, sorry, Chris.
I'd love to hear something that you think is underrated.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Underrated is let me look at my notes. Actually I
prepare it here. Uh you said underrated, right.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
You know what you've been on. You decide if you
want to go under I messed it up. I messed
you underrated, underrated looking at social media on ketamine.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
That was what my thing. So we could killed to
cover that. That was what I wrote down. That was
what I wrote.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
History answer.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yeah, we'll do it backward, kill me web search. I
forgot my web search. I did have one for the
web search. And this is just something if people want
to it's very boring. But I did see that there's
some guy who puts trained wheels on his car, like
he has a hydraulic system where he can retract it.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
And d the rails.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, have you seen that ship? Yeah, I've just seen
it backward.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
But I don't know if I've seen a car that
has everything, but I've seen it. I've seen a car
that had like the prop like the ship on a
car so he could ride on rails.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
That's it. So this guy like, it's just this video.
There's like two million views on it of you know,
some kind of hobby that you do at the end
of the world where you put train wheels on your
car and then you drive along abandoned train tracks without
checking ahead of time to see if they they're abandoned. Yeah,
or just like a tree. I mean they're just speeding
(24:26):
through the forest getting slapped in the face by branches
and they're just like you who, And there's like their daughter.
There's like a five year old girl in the car,
which I'm sure was actually bad ass. I mean, she
probably had a great time, and everybody in the comments
is like, she's never gonna forget this, you know, goes down.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
The Yeah, go head on with a fucking freight car.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Yeah, also until he find out it goes directly into
an abandoned mine right there by combining my two favorite things.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Or they run over a damsel as somebody with a
mustache looks on and snickers to himself.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yeah, you know, so that's just like if you want
to look, there's some people who go on train tracks
with I would definitely do it. This one that I
saw it seemed dangerous. Was one like a train track
through the woods, I mean going through on a train
track through the desert like that seems I've seen people
do that. That's kind of fun. But this guy just
ripping through the forest on.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
A I like, you've seen enough train you're like, Okay,
obviously we've seen the one where the dudes on the
in the in the desert, dude on the outfit is
on the riff.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
This guy was in the fucking forest.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Well, there's like a lot of abandoned train tracks out
by the abandoned mine. So every now and then those
guys probably get bored and like there's they put on
they build these little things that go on the rails.
I've seen that, yeah, yeah, but this one is like
this is dranged, Like you don't go through the woods
on them, on them?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Wait, why do you think the woods is more?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Does you want to get hit in the head?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Oh, you're saying with like there's the low hanging I
mean you can't takes you out.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, you can't clear the you can't clear the tracks
or see what's coming in the woods. So it's seems
like kind of insane to bring your daughter along for
like a you a mystery ride straight into a gorge.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I'd say no activity has been ruined for me harder
by movies than standing on or near train tracks like
I because like during the eighties, no movie included train
tracks that didn't then have somebody turned back and see
like white smoke coming and getting you know what I mean,
(26:26):
Like it was just it seems to me to be
an inevitability if you are near, like the idea of
driving on abandoned train tracks is like, well, that's a
fools game. Obviously it's not really abandoned, and there's going
to be a train coming like Ghostbusters to stand by
me like all those all those movie that was a
ghost train and went through them. But it doesn't matter.
(26:48):
It still pays off the like if you are by
tracks like it's trains coming coming, it's come like it's
never not happened in a movie. And therefore, in my brain,
I'm like, there's a ninety five percent probability when I'm
near train tracks that I'm about to get.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Do you ever, do you ever go near like a
like a train crossing that's clearly not active anymore, but
in your mind you're still like, nah, bro, that the
tracks aren't there.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah, I'm like, this fucker's about to blow through here.
Light it all up.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Man, now this I feel that way. I feel that
way too. But these these tracks were so overgrown that
I was like, not so afraid of, like watching this
guy do this. I was not so afraid of a
train coming because they were so overgrown. But but I
was afraid of like, you know, a snake to the
face or ah, or like a lemur to.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
The face, also an eighties trope, snake to the face
going through some over overgrown thing. You're gonna catch a snake, but.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Yeah, or or you come out and you don't notice
there's a snake in your hair and they go.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Uh, you kind of got something there. Wait I mean no, yeah,
you're right.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Yeah. Yeah, that was good. That sounded like a real
movie man.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
No problem, no problem, Hey, really good guys. Way to go. Wow,
you guys sounded like a shitty movie there, Way to go.
Really impressive. Good that you guys can sell like a
ship a patch you on your back, man, Chris Croft
and what some of you thinks overrated.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Overrated cowardly politicians.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Come on, now, I've never.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
And I'm just talking about this I'm talking about on
a serious note, that we just had ice raids here
in Nashville, Tennessee, and uh, people are still walking around
in yoga pants. Uh and and and playing indoor miniature
golf and stuff. And I just feel like, uh and
(28:49):
and and and this is sad because I understand that.
I think our mayor, who I actually know, was well
intentioned when he ran. But he thought Kamala Harris is
gonna win, and he thought some now things are just
going to be okay, and then he was going to
be able to be a fun mayor that was going
to work on public transit. And then Kamala Harris didn't win.
(29:09):
And I would argue that even if Kamala Harris had one,
anybody who's paying attention knows that something very bad is
happening in our country. So I just I just he
was hoping to be a sort of two thousand's Obama
era kind of mayor that's optimistic, and he did it.
(29:30):
He did it for the last few months like he
was like djang and going to every hot dog competition
or whatever the fuck mayors do.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
All Right, I'll stuff right there, because that's all I
asked for from my mayor is djang and hot dog competitions, those.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Judging hot sauce or whatever, judging longest hot dog.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
I think that yeah, like old time mayor ship, but
it is not old time times.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
It can fucking be a street fighter, basically.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
And he is in big trouble now, big because he
kind of had to, especially in a red state like Nashville,
but probably like Tennessee, but I would say probably in
every state. At this point, you have to make a
deal with the cops. You have to back the blue,
or you will the police will make your life miserable,
Like I mean, they'll just somehow a mayor is gonna
(30:21):
have to get elected, is gonna have to say something
about I'm gonna support the police because the police can
fucking take you out. So I think, you know, he doesn't.
He tries to like boost the police while also saying
he wants to help marginalize people, which of course makes
no sense. And and he's stuck in that place. And
then now the Nashville Police Department was seemingly involved in
(30:45):
the ice raids. They're not supposed to be by law,
but they.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Across the country collaboration.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
But they showed up and they and and Freddie has
my friend who's the mayor, is just in. He's he's
he's done, he's done. Everybody's fucking I mean, they.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Kidnapped people incensed because yeah, like for everything that you
kind of ride into office with, it's like where is
that energy?
Speaker 3 (31:09):
And how was he not prepared for this? This like
was certain well, first of all, it was like a
fifty to fifty chance or whatever right that it was
going to happen. But you know, people got kidnapped. I mean,
they got This isn't like, this isn't like checking. This
isn't a regular way to check for people's citizenship. You
can't stop someone's car and then throw them at a bus,
(31:29):
you don't. They did stops, they did. They basically just
put up roadblocks and just like in a in a
Latin neighborhood and just fucking pulled people out of cars
that couldn't couldn't in ten minutes tell them that they
were a citizen. Yeah, even though a lot of times
they don't even speak English, and those cops, I mean, anyway,
it's just like and now it's like.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Well on top of that too, they don't even have
an argument about public safety like every every story I
read about people getting caught up in ice rates, it's
like it's some kid in college who's like doing good
in school or a person who just goes to their
job and the whole time, like we got to get
the worst ones out, but then the problem, but that
just cover to do this whole terror campaign. But like
(32:10):
they've even lost this like argument that it's even about
public safety. Oh definitely, And I just think like that's
another thing where it's like, even for a mayor who
probably is afraid, you can at least say that it's
like these what where are the people? Where the criminals
that you're trying to get these people are contributing to
the country?
Speaker 3 (32:27):
What the fuck is this is not? You can't split
the difference on this. You can't fight a coup and
say you're a Democrat. That you can't. There's no Republicans
or Democrats anymore, no one. We're just not. I understand
there's there's no way for people to to get everybody
on the same page about that as impossible, But there's
just people who are doing a coup and kidnapping people
(32:48):
out of cars, and then there's other people there's.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
No Yeah, then there's the other people who are like, well,
I don't want to get, you know, elected out of office,
so I'm just gonna stay as quiet as possible.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
And I think that's what your point is.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
And I want our politicians to be I wrote it.
I wrote a column today, my advice column. I recommend
everybody read it. It's it was a sort of a
silly question, but it was meant to be. I think, oh,
I took it seriously because it was the question was
who are we supposed to root for? Between the sky
net Ai and oligarchs, who are we supposed to root for?
(33:22):
And I wrote, you know, we make I make six
hundred dollars a week. I can't root for anybody because
doesn't fucking make any difference. The only thing I'm rooting
for is we drop individualism and start collectivism, because that's
the only way forward. And I just, you know, I said,
Martin Luther King, Doctor Martin Luther King, pray for us.
(33:43):
Harvey Milk, pray for us. Eugene Debs pray for us.
I to b Wells, pray for us. You know, we
need real, real people, and you know we're not going
to get any of the elected officials we have now
we're elected before they somehow didn't see this coming. So
we eat all new people. And those are gonna have
(34:03):
to be people with people in the street, because if you're
talking about getting elected again and that's important to you
right now, then you are not on the right side.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
So if you have kids, I understand, like he has kids.
This is all a pitch for like, I want to
be mayor, but I can't. I'm not gonna because it's
just I can't. But but but I'm saying we need people,
maybe younger people than me, who don't look like nineteen
fifties character actors or whatever, you know, people who look
(34:32):
less mad than me, you know, who don't have kids
go in there, especially my age. We've already lived had
I've had so much fun. I mean, what do you
need to do, really, I mean, we're all going so
let's put our necks on the line for the kids.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean you had a pretty good
pitch right before you said you you want to be
mayor and you're ready to die.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Yeah, ready to die? I mean I don't want to die,
but I mean, like, did Martin the King Junior want
to die?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
No?
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Did fucking any of these any of these activists, but
they were willing to you know who they all died,
I mean, you know, and because they were like brave.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Well, yeah, spoke with conviction and and they they stood
on their beliefs a lot of the time. And yeah,
at this crop of politicians we have are people who
mimic that, but when push comes to shove, they abandon
all of those you know, sort of perceived morals that
they espoused on the way to office. And I think, yeah,
we need more people like just to not fear getting
(35:33):
voted out of office, because the ship you can do
in it one term, like the there is things you
can do, and then yeah, if they get you out,
they get you out.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
But at least you went in there and you still
for something.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
And I don't know who it is, but I mean
somebody somebody who's willing to you know. I mean, say
you get say someone gets into office and they made
a deal with the police, Well you go back on
that deal, now, right, It's as simple as that, and
you risk it.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
We've been doing it the other way for yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Yeah, and you risk getting shot.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yeah, but yeah, your point is taken that it's not
a safe position to be in to be anti police.
We will link off to your column in the footnote. Nope,
we should uh talk about somebody who's really talk about
like the difference between where they were when they were
running for office and where they're at now. John Fetterman,
it's just like it's getting like scary kind of Oh yeah, Yeah,
(36:28):
there's a New York magazine article that was published last
week about just like he like it's really like he's
getting into car accidents, he's like fighting people. He's just
kind of unable to do any of the things that
are part of his job, and people are concerned. Yeah,
(36:50):
his family, especially like the you know, he got into
a car accident like at a time when like it,
right before it, they were like messaging his doctors being like, hey,
like this is really unsafe that he's able to like
drive at all, and he like refuses to stop looking
at his phone while he's driving.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Yeah, I mean, just.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
All of it right, like wild It's all kind of
branches off from the stroke that he had on the
campaign trail and then from there like then he remember
he also said he was hospitalized with, you know, with
depression he was dealing with and a lot of people
were like, that's great, you know, like we support you,
and but a lot of his staffers have noted that
it feels like he's starting to regress in a really
(37:30):
measurable way. And also just stroke with like stuff from
the like auditory complications he has just from the stroke.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Apparently he's regular.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
I mean I saw a story about this a few
months agogo, how he's like his attendance has been really low,
like for votes and of like in this in this
magazine art in New York magazine article, people say he
just hides in his office basically like alone while the
Senate is doing business. One staff equol. But it's pretty
impossible to overstate how disengaged he is. He doesn't read memos,
(37:59):
he's taking very few meetings. The job is just a
platform for him to run for president. That's all he
cares about, which is like very odd because concerning how
much he's alienated constituents, supporters, and even his own staff,
especially around his like hardline stance with supporting Israel and
like every terrible act they make against Palestinian people, It's
just like I don't know how you think, like who's
(38:21):
your base exactly? Because many people are very confused as
to what he stands for at this point, just out
like this. There's a lot of stuff like from him
getting really fighting with his wife in front of staffers,
crying while facetiming with staff It's just all kind of
paints a picture of a guy who is definitely it
just feels like he's in over his head in terms
(38:42):
of doing the duties of a senator, especially in twenty
twenty five, with all the shit that comes along with
a quote unquote resisting Trump if any Democrat, I mean
the few Democrats that do, but that along with his
physical and mental health, it's just all like every like
so many of these articles about him are ending with
people being like, I just really think it's time for
(39:03):
him to really kind of take a step back for
like his own sake. Like it just it feels a
little bit like this is a little too much for
him right now, which you know they typically don't do
that for senators and the Democratic Party, Like yeah, no,
no push to it, but it just sounds like there
stuff is just so out there and in your.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Face that it's it's really hard to ignore. At this point.
Diane Findstin and like all these other people who have
been obviously like not able to do their job. But
you know, the Democrats are just that, I guess because
of the process of replacing one and like the game
(39:40):
of like having you know, having as many Democrats possible.
But it's just it's pretty ghoulish.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Today about him. They just you guys might have seen it,
just that he I mean, it's just more leaked stuff.
You know. It's like he freaked out at some meeting
with the teacher and like started repeating himself and then
said said, I guess quote, I don't know why, but
he's mad at me. I didn't do anything, Yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
That, everybody is mad at me? Why does everyone hate me?
What did I ever do? Yelling banging his fists on
a desk at five union representatives, and then his aid.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Cried, they like ushered them out. And then are these
aids And why.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
Can't they get other jobs? That's what I want?
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I mean, that's because that's getting into on a Senate staff,
Like getting staffed in a Senate office is like kind
of like you know, that's how you claw your way
into it.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
He was on for dear life, no matter what happens.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Yeah, and I think that's what, Like, you know, a
lot of a lot of the anecdotes and reports are
coming from a lot of people current and former staffers
who are just like, it's kind of it's freaking us out.
One I think his former chief of staff said he
was worried that he was not taking his medication like
his doctors.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Had told him to. And yeah, it's just again, this
is this is this does not look good. And also
like do you look at his votes, like like voted
to confirm Pam BONDI like, there's just a lot of
ship where you're.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Like, oh, he's whatever's going on.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
He took a silver pager or gold pager from.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Yeah, yahu.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
I mean he seems like his only policy at this
point is to violently support Israel.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah no, truly, that seems like the ones newly consistent
things Israel is not in Pennsylvania. Yeah, well, you know,
but again I think this is like one of those
things too. You fear the outside spending and like for
many people, that's apex spending that goes when you begin
to articulate Propalestinian talking points, especially as an office holder
(41:37):
in Congress.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Here's a joke about him, so staffers. One of his
staffers is leaked that they're concerned about him because he's
so sad. He's so upset that he's not even saying
fee five fox FuMB.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
When he enters a room.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
He's not even climbing his beanstalk.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
In your mind, he looks he's dead ringer for your
asking the new jack in the bean stock.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Oh my godam I you know imagine he's also like
physically imposing like I would. I mean, I bet they
pulled furniture in front of the door. One he was like,
is in there be like, I don't know why he's
mad at me? You know, just get outside?
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Fee five fo fum, I smell the blood of Olivia mun.
That's pretty good. Oh wait, why is it English? Mone?
Isn't how they needed something to rhyme with man fun
I can be good of an english man.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
Now, this podcast is where it needs to be.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Thank you, we're back, baby got They could have made
anything up. The first part is jib fish.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
Why not just I mean, if it's like British Eli,
you're saying an englishman right in English? Mon fee five
fem I smelled the blood of an English mun.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Oh damn that that guy sounded right proper miles. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
Think you could make money so many good ways back then,
writing ship like that, sitting by a pond, writing ship
like that.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
It was so fucking low man. It was a golden
age for people with low t They're only like eight
hundred people, so it was just like, yeah, oh yeah,
you see, this thing has just throws a banger and
then like twenty people read it and you're like, I'm
the most influential person. What do you call it? I
don't know, haiku, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
They're making a decent wage. They like, you have a
bail of hay. I love it.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Thank you actually too, Yeah, dude, what the heck we have?
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Thank you for making it too far keep thank you
for describing how fair a maiden my wife is.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
It was one of what's his names? It was one
of what's his name's ancestors talking about abundance.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
That's right, Oh, what's it?
Speaker 3 (43:36):
I forget his name?
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Abundance, the abundance thing, Ezra client.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back, and it's shot in freud o on
He's like geist every day every day, we like to
(44:06):
just take a quick look at how things are going
for some of the people who jump on jumped on
the Trump train and expected that it was gonna go
well for them, despite all evidence that everybody who sides
with him ends up getting sucked over.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
And yeah, at every level, even the grifters most of
the time, unless your last name is Trump, because they're
they're Donald Trump. I think doju is opening up a
new social club that's like half a million ahead to
get in, because again, everything's about access. And so the
first one hundred days was like this thing.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
Everyone on the right was talking about how epic to
first hundred days this ministration would be, despite every metric
indicating that it was a total shit show at the
fuck Factory. And this was a moment for Trump sickophants
to lie to his face, as we saw in that
cabinet meeting, about his greatness and also a great opportunity
for outsiders to grift. And would that cabinet meeting, Chris,
(45:01):
did you see the cabinet meeting where everybody just sat
there trying to be like mister President here the finest
human specimen of president. All right, I just like that
was what that was like the moment for me for
whatever reason, where you just like entered a new level
of surreal fucking you know, dystopia. Shit, that's just like,
oh we're we are in a movie now like this.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's quite difficult to live, uh and
keep your head on straight, especially with trying to raise kids.
But I think everybody you know who's doing it is
it's a damn hero because I do think that if you're,
if you're and I know people who are taking care
of their kids and stuff and in the face of
all this because it will pass. I don't know if
(45:46):
it'll pass with an ice age you have to wait
that long. But I mean, this will go away. You know,
these people will pass away, they will blow away, whatever happens,
and then you know, and it's worth hanging in there.
But it is right now. And there was that New
Yorker piece, which I wasn't crazy about it, but that one,
did you read? It came out today or yesterday, just
about like how my brain's finally broken. Okay, it was
(46:09):
just written. It's it's it's great. I'm just mad. I'm
jealous of anybody whos in the New Yorker but you know,
it's probably fine. I'm like, she's a pretty good writer.
It is not that good. Oh there's no advice king,
But anyway, so I'm mad at everybody. But but it's
a good article. It's about just a list of like
a laundry list of what people deal with on a
regular basis, of deep fakes, and and just politics and
(46:35):
just the endless, endless barrage of bad news. And so
you don't even remember what the bad news was, or
what day it is, or what time it is or anything.
You just are lost in your fucking phone and in
the Internet. And everybody is this is probably peak disorientation
for any human beings ever on Earth. I honestly I
(46:56):
think that's true. You know what I mean, There's never
been I mean, you were dealing with one dying this
or one guy trying to throw us fucking a caveman,
you know, I mean, like one guy's trying to hit
you with a club, and maybe is there's no dinosaurs.
I mean, I guess they didn't co exist. I don't know,
a cheetah whatever. You had two things, but you knew
they were real. There was like a deep fake.
Speaker 1 (47:12):
You had a tree, not a world where like half
of what you see as fake. The yeah that says by.
Speaker 3 (47:21):
Who Caveman saw a fucking deep fake. He jumping a
damn waterfall.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
I like that. You're like this damn Gia Tolentino, she's
so great, Mars.
Speaker 3 (47:35):
All right, Oh, well, you're probably not as upset as me,
who doesn't work for the New Yorker, right.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
Right, right, Well, at least you're gonna articulate both of
those that that that that's already sets you apart from
ninety nine percent of the people out there. But anyway,
so this grift right because everyone is now everyone is susceptible,
like you're saying, Uh, Two fucking hacks on the right,
one guy who works for a daily caller, another one
who calls herself an activist. They decided to team up
and really cash in on the excitement. The two quote
(48:01):
planned to host what they described on the event's now
deleted website as the official Celebration of President Trump's first
one hundred days at the newly trumpefied Kennedy Center. Tickets
for this event went from between one hundred dollars and
twenty five hundred dollars. Keep that in mind, invitations promised
an unforgettable evening where quote where quote, luxury meets excitement,
(48:25):
and I don't know what that means. There was also
a promise of access to individual guests, members of the
Trump administration, and members of Congress, setting.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
EIGHTHI generator right, Luxury meets excitement. I feel it feels.
This whole thing feels that I generated.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
When you do that, luxury meets excitement. I don't even
know what the line of cocaine is.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
What it is, yeah, I guess yeah, Like you wear
a ball gown while screaming racial slurs at full volume
and do a little blow and you're like, this is
the height of love.
Speaker 3 (48:53):
We're a luxury exciting Yeah wow.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
And you can get away with it. Isn't that luxurious?
Speaker 3 (48:58):
Unbelievable?
Speaker 2 (49:00):
So the problems began immediately once Trump announced that a
rally in Michigan would be the event that marked the
first hundred days. And once that potential big draw just
went poof, the Kennedy Center canceled the contract with the organizers,
and it forced the event to move to the equally
glamorous Arlington, Virginia.
Speaker 1 (49:16):
Okay and okay, yeah, I mean things still good. Still
pretty good. It's not like geographically not that far from Washington,
d C. So it's basically the president's approving the envy.
Speaker 2 (49:29):
Yeah, you're there, you're there, you're selling access things. Get
this is where things. This is where the details get
real fucking spicy. So problems multiplied from there. McMillan, who's
one of the organizers, acknowledged that she asked attendees with
comps tickets to bring bottles of alcohol to fill out
the bar, even though the website promised, quote premium drinks.
Another organizer himself asked the husband of a photographer who
(49:52):
had been hired to shoot the event to bring some alcohol.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
As well the men to bring alcohol.
Speaker 2 (49:58):
The man then warned the organizer to call off the
party before a fire festival style debacle ensued. Quote you're
charging big money for this thing, and people won't be
getting what they paid for, the man wrote, According to
messages later, when the photographer realized she wouldn't be paid
to shoot the party, she.
Speaker 1 (50:15):
Canceled the Instagram. The Instagram account under one of the
organizer's names subsequently sent a message to the photographer with
the line fuck you whore.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
Both organizers deny that he sent the message, but they
won't say who did.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
Well, it wasn't us, and so who did it? Ah,
we're not at liberty to say we're just as bothered
by it as you are, but we can't say who
did twenty from our account.
Speaker 3 (50:41):
In twenty twenty five. Denying something means you did it.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
Yeah, yeah, truly. It's it is actually just kind of
noteworthy that they went through the effort of denying it.
Oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
And that's when like shit gets so that but then
their defenses of it or what so, Okay, the event,
the event finally come and it was I mean, was
it a success? I guess if you consider the fact
that it looked like total shit and people called the
cops on them for not delivering what was promised.
Speaker 1 (51:10):
Yeah. One guests said, quote there was no VIP, there
was no red carpet like they promised. Like when I
bought my ticket, we also said we would be quote
in the company of high profile guests. I have no
idea who those would have been, because I didn't see
anybody high profile. When asked if she had a different
explanation for the ticket packages, right, because tickets were between
like two hundred and two thousand dollars, Like, what explanation
(51:32):
for different ticket packages not being what they were advertised?
The organizer just said no.
Speaker 2 (51:38):
The website also mimicked the official White House website. This
is this is where the grift really comes in. And
one of the organizers, again this woman was asked, isn't
that deceptive to like have this sort of font, color scheme,
everything mimic the official White House website while you're calling
it the official hundred Days party.
Speaker 1 (51:55):
She says, this is her defense quote.
Speaker 2 (51:56):
If a color scheme and font needs somebody to believe
although there are words on the website, they'd say exactly
who the host is that this must be the White
House putting this on.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
I don't know what to tell that person. Wow. So yeah, real, real,
real awesome grifters. Can you just explain, like what was
the different? No? No, okay, I mean it looked cool,
It looked fun. Man, I don't know, like you gotta
kind of be there. It's one of those things where
you gotta be there. Oh, I'm sorry, or looked tight.
(52:27):
I'm sorry. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:28):
This one clip from the dance floor is humiliating. This
is from so the local GOP like outfit in Arlington, Virginia.
They started posting shit because they're like, this is a grift.
Beware of these fucking people, Chris, have you ever been
to a party that looked this fucking sick? I'm just
gonna play from the top. There's like literally eight people
(52:48):
on the dance floor. There's a guy with a puppet
on the ground. There's dancing.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
He's not This guy's a maga hat he's waving around.
Looks like a total dipshit this I.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Don't know this guy on there's a guy on the
ground I think doing like a triumph type bit mm hmmm,
because he's like just holding a puppet but laying down
in front of a woman.
Speaker 3 (53:11):
It's all that's the worst looking party you ever saw
in my life.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (53:14):
Yeah, And you can't party with he can't party with
a bunch of I mean, that's the thing is nobody.
It's hard to say, but you know, it's like they've reinvented.
They wanted to be the popular kids, you know, so
they're like the only way they can do it is
with violence. So that's what they're doing. So they've they've
gotten to the top of the power structure. So now
(53:35):
they're the popular brands as far as they're concerned, but.
Speaker 1 (53:38):
Enforced popular kiddom.
Speaker 3 (53:40):
But the kind of trash that they are makes it
so nobody. They're still not going to have fun because
they don't understand that charmless people have to get their
shit together and become like, I don't know what, you know,
do some work on themselves. You know. I know it's
a popular thing to say, but someone like Donald Trump Junior,
(54:02):
if he wants to have friends that are fun, he's
gonna have to become a whole different person. You know.
The kind of people who are gonna come to Donald
Trump's party are guaranteed to make him sad because he's
expecting it to be. Like he really you know, he
hates Robert de Niro, but he would love it if
Robert de Niro would come. Like, these people are never
gonna get what they want, which is actually approval from celebrities,
(54:24):
like liberal celebrities, and they're never gonna get it, so
they're stuck with just like another guy who thought violence
was a way to get popular.
Speaker 2 (54:32):
Yeah, I mean, they all share the thing where every
person who like rises up on the like conservative side
of things, I mean and either side, but like really
it's really pronounced with the right right wingers especially who
just go, no, it can't be that I'm the problem here, right,
it's everything else. It's not me, and everything else needs
to change.
Speaker 3 (54:52):
Like, yeah, I'm gonna rearrange the world so i have
a good time, instead of realizing the reason I'm not
having a good time is because I probably we have
a ton of trauma. Yeah yeah, yeah, these motherfuckers were
not loved. I'm not saying that that excuse is anything,
because it doesn't because there's lots of unloved people who
who oh fucking I don't care.

down on. I don't know why. I think it's like
not important, but I just have a hard time. I've
been like enjoying I'll just tell you. And I've been
enjoying the Red and Stimpy Instagram account, and I recommend
it's just somebody. I don't know if it has something
to do with the actual like people who made it,
(59:45):
but it's just it's just great clips of some of
the greats. I don't know if you guys remember Ren
and Stimpy, but it's an absolutely great show. And and
and RN is this deranged chihuahua and Stimpy is this cat.
I I can't even really, I don't even know. I
think he's a cat, but man, oh man, Wren loses
his mind and gets so mad all the time, and
(01:00:10):

President of the United States is just insane and so
appropriate for like right now, I'll even play it real quick,
