Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh well, hello the Internet, and welcome to season nine four,
Episode three of The Daily zide Guys, the production of
I Heart Her Radio And look, this is a podcast
we do every day where we take a bone saw code,
open the top of America's skull, look in there, look
at the brain, look at the soul, and then say

(00:20):
off the rip, fuck Coke Industries, and fuck Fox News
a k a. The New n R. A. Actually, if
you listen to half the talking points they have. Uh,
it's Wednesday, August. My name is Myles Gray, uh a
k A. The Tuscan Toker, and I would like to
thank Paul Gara Venta for that short a k A.
I know it wasn't a full on hauland Oats song,
but you know best speaks to my heart when I

(00:42):
talk about it. And I won't get into Tuscany quite yet.
Maybe later. Uh. And also I just want to mention
rest in peace of Tony Morrison, a great author um
and she will be very missed. She was eighty eight
years old. If you are not familiar with Tony Morris's work, uh,
go go try it, go, try it out. Go. If
you have a red beloved read it. Great stream of
consciousness right. Um. Anyway, let's get to the guest host, because,

(01:07):
as you know, Daddy's gone, so the sub is bringing
in his weird friends that he works on weird trucks
without back, and his first guest co host today is
none other than one of the faces on mal Zitemore. Welcome,
Billy Wayne Davis. Hey, guys, it's good to be here.
I I like the tusting toker. I can be your
midnight tober all right, you could be the what Tennessee toker? Oh,

(01:30):
I like that too. I was the Tennessee tuber a
lot of alliterative ak hayes um. And we are thrilled
to be joined by another legend of the show, frequent guest,
but not frequent enough. I may say myself, please welcome
be hilariously talented. Uh and just overall, you know, I've
actually learned a lot of things about how you interact

(01:51):
with your dog that I've taken on with my dog.
Amazing dog parents. Caitlyn guilt of me, Caitlyn guilty pleasure.
You know I used to be like when my dog
would bark, hey, come on, come on. And I saw
you one time talk to your dog when you say
I know what you're doing. He said, I get you.
You want to protect you and you were understanding, and
I was I created a debate between my animal and

(02:12):
I picked that up from you. I just want to
tell you I picked that up. I like it. It's
a method. I use that way. Thank you. I always
tell her she's not crazy, she's just wrong, she's right.
There is a noise, Yeah, there is right. She is wrong.
She does not need to there's no danger. I'm like,
we're all good. That's what I say. I'm like, thank you,
you did your purpose, but we're good. But also shut
up A yeah, And it's very jarring when I'm smoking

(02:35):
weed and watching day Fiance when you're barking all the time. Uh,
and we're talking to major recognizing the breed and l
A is that I think the mecca of not recognizing.
Oh man, there are so many huskies wandering around the city,
just like I need to run so much. It's so
hot here. Or beagles know they get the dog because

(03:01):
they locked the way they look and then they're like,
why why is this bagel so loud in this house?
And you're because it needs to be. It needs to
be chasing animals on the woods, letting you know where
it's at. That's why it's loud. See, that's why I
can go shoot the thing it found. It shouldn't be
in an apartment on kahanga respect of the pronunciation. Thank

(03:23):
you anga. Um. Anyway, Caitlin, we're gonna get to know
you even better. But let's preview a little bit about
what we're going to be talking about, just talking about
college campuses are the new malls? You know what I mean.
We're already broke when we leave college campuses, so why
not throw more money away while you're there? Just trying
to educate yourself to compete in this modern workplace when
it's all an illusion anyway, But look, that's a whole

(03:45):
other podcast. Um. Also, we're gonna just take a second
to tell the New York Times come the funk on
what is going on on your front page? Do you not?
Do you not read the world events? Anyway, that's a
whole other part than just a discussion on the GOP
and their inability to recognize that something isn't working and

(04:05):
trying to fix it. It's more just like, oh there's
a wall, let's hit the accelerator harder and then maybe
we'll break it down rather than just destroying the car.
Wearing learned from the Democrats, and it is an impressive
lesson to learn, but different problems, exactly same symptoms. Yeah,
Democrats like, oh god, should be changed that. And then
it's like, oh, don't change as much as they're telling us, right,

(04:30):
I mean I didn't think there's anything wrong to begin with,
but I guess I can hear your point here, um
and then just loud that it's both sides in power.
Just it's people that don't want to lose their power. Yeah, absolutely,
done different ways, it's just same thing. It's like, well,
I keep pushing this button and I keep getting to
do what I want to do. And it was on
both sides. Yeah, Luckily Now I guess the lack of

(04:50):
empathy is starting to affect the Republican side of the equation.
Maybe maybe not, because who knows. It is a constantly
evolving health came well, I think it's the thing with
the republic And my thing is like their whole thing
is fucking over their own people, right, So you can
only do that for so long before the people were like,
oh you, before they realized they got fused. Yeah, and

(05:12):
we'll get into many people are being fucked right now
by this administration. Um. And then there's a new podcast
out talking about Jared and Ivanka that's called Tabloid The
Making of Ivanka Trump. Um. But there's a lot of
interesting interviews in it, and a job. I don't know
what happened. You're speaking. Actually, your pronunciation is amazing for

(05:35):
having an unhinged job. Yeah, it's tough. And I can't
see because my eyes just rolled back so far in
my head that I can only see my own brain
and it's just screaming as uh. And from the d
twelfth song Purple Hills or Purple Pills, you want to
roll away like a roller blade to your eyes, roll
back in your skull for days. Yes, yea rest in
peace to proof who I believe said that? Right? Um?

(05:56):
And yeah, so anyway, in this thing, it's a lot
of no ship stuff, but it's it's kind of interesting
when there's always things you can observe and say, of
course that's what's happening, and then when you start hearing
interviews that back it up, you're like, of course it
was um. And then also, you know, we didn't get
to this yesterday, but I do want to talk. You know,
there are many animals in here that have been rescued.
Um and Aaron Carter he was in a little bit

(06:18):
of hot water because people think he's flipping dogs that
he rescues. It's very petty, but I just want to
discuss it. And also, yo avocados are so expensive. Some
places are thinning out their guak with another ingredient, and
I just want people to be aware of what's going
on because these are the end days. Okay, I know,

(06:39):
well maybe it was unless you can, unless it's like
you're at El Trito grill or Cantina where they'll make
it right there table side. I think capitalism. Capitalism is
thinning out our guawk. Uh so off the top, Caitlin,
what's something from your search history that's revealing about who
you are? Oh? Jeez, I it um Man. I have

(07:02):
looked up so much about what dogs Cannon should eat.
This dog eats a whole lot of she eats. She
wants a very diet, so anything you get she just
stops eating after about the third feeding food. Yes, So
my search history is basically like will my dog like
this dog food? And where can I donate this dog?

(07:22):
Food my dog didn't like. You can't even because you
rotate like once she doesn't like another, like, oh I
got that one for three months ago, But could it
have been if you just keep leaving the same food there?
That's what there is, the starb amount strategy. Yes, I
am too soft for that. It also just stops working

(07:45):
where she will she'll she'll win, she'll win. She would
think she'll just parash, But does she win because she dies?
She wouldn't die, she just eat. She would never stop bitching,
she would never give in. There'd be a lot of
bark and slapping the bowl. She'd eat it, but it
would be with protest, and that's not how. I just
don't Yeah, right, okay, I think that's the yeah, more

(08:08):
than like you could still just be like you can wish,
but this is what we're eating. It's like you're you're
just like a single mothers have really went off the
rail and thinking of myself as a child and the
stubborn fits I put up, like when I didn't want
to eat a food, she she learned it from watching me.
But I don't know how she wasn't there then, but
she did the other thing I guess was it's kind

(08:28):
of revealing, is that. Uh. I do have saved in
my phone an embryo comparison chart just because of the
number of times I have discussed the fact that all
embryos of all creatures look pretty much the same at
some stage of development and felt the need to prove
it by showing people in chart form um. And so
what kind of conversation was born? Oh man, it's always like,

(08:49):
you know, just high enough to get into my you know,
theories that are that seemed to matter at the time,
or like, you know, it feels like enough of a
mind blowing fact. Yeah, no, I mean, yeah, there's yes,
there's that. But it's it's always on discussion about animals
and how alike to animals we are, and like, we're
so alike to animals that exactly the same at early

(09:11):
stages in our development. But I agree with that. But
I think for humans were so much like animals because
we're all mimics as a species. We just look at
other things and copy them, so well, that's where we've
developed a lot of our are because I just think
we're aliats. I think everything in this is usually how

(09:31):
the conversation this is this answers. Your question is the
conversation gets started like that. Yeah, we're just sacks of
meat the carry around the forty germ cells that determine
what there's forty germ cells that basically determine what your
junk is going to be, which to me matters because
like that's setting up to make the next generation. And
those are viral germ cells. They are not of us,

(09:52):
they're not up here UM, and we are the sacks
to carry them around. Yes, yeah, it's I probably it's
this is it comes up enough, but it is the
It's Radio Labs Go Neds series, the first episode in UM.
But yeah, the the embryo comparison chart is some evidence
to just like, oh, there's a bunch of germs that
just recreate sacks to live in. Is that everything? That's

(10:15):
what we're here. Yeah, that's how many different species in
my camera across the top is fish, salamander, tortoise, chicken, pig, cow, rabbit,
and human and they are essentially just all just weird.
It's a little hr Geiger alien twist. It's kind of Yeah,
it looks a bit like a chess burster. Yeah, if
you break it down even smaller we're like these little

(10:36):
tiny sales and atoms that are in like carbon based
and you want to go really far. We ain't from here, yes,
the same thing. We are secks that carry around the
stuff that ain't from here. How they live here? But
I think like the where the like human And we
love to personify animals a lot too. I think that.
I mean there's some comedians that's their whole thing is

(10:57):
just personifying an animal, which I think funniest ship Wait
are there people still doing bits like that? Oh? Is
someone doing a nineteen goat boy? I mean last night? Yeah,
and I look like a bird at the dumb bird.
Uh what have I've done a couple? I'm sure. I
mean most of Gaffigan stuff. And I love gaff Is

(11:21):
personifying things that don't have a personality. That's what he does.
Not to break it down, but he's genius, but that
is it's very funny the way he does it. But
that's I think that's that comes from that we're all connected,
and I think when also what we have an overwhelmingly
amount of similar genetic material in common. Oh yeah, almost anyway,
where it's like it only varies at these like very

(11:42):
specific points anyway, So we're all one and we're all
on Molly right, and I will show you on my
phone with very little provocation. In fact, I have the
tab open like we are. I guess that's sort of revealed,
Like yeah, but that's a good place to come from.
What's something that's overrated? Heartless nostalgia? I'm so weird it

(12:03):
out by the I mean I myself, I'm wearing throwback
rebox currently. I have an old timey diner shirt on. Uh,
like I get cancer, gets respect grow back. It's still
going on. It's still I mean, these figures are coming
around again, these are replicating. Is more actor than the shirt, yes,

(12:23):
because the shirts still kind of the same place that's
always been. But exactly so, so I suppose that's true.
It's not throwing back to anything. I just mean like
having movie theaters have exactly the same titles as in
the like predatory nostalgia, where it's just like, oh, you're
thirty five plus now, so things from twenty years ago

(12:45):
are now in a market that you can buy again.
So we're going to sell you trapper keepers and T
shirts exact Sugar Ray and all this band kind of
tour on this Big Tour, h Sugar. It's like when
they like putting Salt and Peppa with all those nineties
when they tried to do Little Wayne and uh yeah,

(13:08):
exactly because it's not true. It's not true, like feeling
cash grabs, Like I think we can turn out enough
people if we put Blink one eighty two and Low
Wayne on the same bill. Yes, they both both bands
play guitar equally as well, so maybe it makes sense.
And they're like skateboarding for some reason, that's the only

(13:28):
thing I can high into them being together. I was like, skateboards. Well,
he almost don't know. He almost quit like the third
show because he was like, I've never seen it was
like this is not my crowd. Oh, and he's such
an artist. He just right. I think that's the thing.
It's like Lee Wayne is an artist where it's like
as soon as he felt that it was always bad idea,

(13:54):
I'm sorry you guys. And then the next day someone
showed him the numbers. He's like, hey, we're still going
to do it. Had had a rough night, but I'm
back baby Wheezy babies in the building for another week
or so, yeah, before I leave the building again, until
I really realized that cash can't fill every voice. Well,
it's what I understand exactly what you're saying. It's frustrating

(14:15):
because it's uh Stewart Lead, you know, that comedian from
the UK. It's brilliant. He has this little small part
about he's like, I like finding records, old record, I
like the hunt and people are like, well, you can
go online and find this one. He was like, that's
not that's not the point. But it's that's what they're doing.
Is they're they're mad, meaning that feeling of finding something

(14:37):
in an antique store or at a flea market where
you're like, oh that he man, Oh that makes me
think of that when I was two or something. You know, definitely,
and instead of just like their manufacturing that feeling, there's
that packaged feeling. Most certainly there's also like watching Aladdin,
The Lion King and all these Disney movies come out

(14:58):
and not make a splash. Is this their thing where
like what you liked was good enough and you don't
have to try to like anything else, Like forget going
to the movies to see an original story, go see
the same thing but just a little tiny touch different,
Like but they they did make a splash. Always Disney

(15:19):
made money. Yeah, but yes, Disney, all entertainment is manipulation.
Uh not A nostalgia is bad. But when nostalgia is
only manipulative, that's no. I agree, But I think Disney
thing is like even before the Lion King stuff, they
were not They would put Cinderella the cartoon on the

(15:40):
shelf twenty years and then bring it out again on
VHS or then let it sit for you know, put
it out for six months, final it's back. That is
manufactured entertainment and true nostalgia. That's what's the thing that
But what's the thing you've been suckered into? Where the
predatory nostalgia got you? And you're like, damn it they
got anything exactly what it was? Oh man, I don't know.

(16:03):
It probably happens more than I care to admit. Oh
I bought a bag of Cheetos because the bag was
the same as the old Yeah, that it works. I'm
not I know what I'm doing though. I'm also it's
the same poison in a different but just more I
like to I want to know, like in your brand,
like what that thing was where they're like, yeah, what
I like that old Cheeto. It did get me. Yes,

(16:24):
what about you billy? Ah, I'm trying to Oh. The
last one only it was when I was still drinking
soda was Mountain Dew came out with the old ah design,
which is that hillbilly or whatever, and but their kick
was it had real sugar right right right. So then

(16:44):
I was like, oh, ship, that's the thing I'm always
a sugar like a sucker for. When the soda is
like with sugar, I'm like, hell, I don't even drink soda,
but I'm like, suddenly I love fucking PEPSI throwback because
it makes you high. Yes, exactly. Um. What is something
that's under Eating alone all the time? Oh, I totally agree.

(17:05):
Weirds me out when people are like I can't. Oh,
oh I couldn't. People will look at me or you're like,
where are you going? Right, I'm gonna get some neat
like you want company or no, no, no no, I'm
just gonna go eat. Are you okay? And oh I'm great?
I eat alone mostly at home sometimes when I'm cooking
and her majesties at work. Still, but I don't, actually
I can't. The last time I was in a restaurant

(17:27):
by myself was you know in Japan actually a while
back then. A lot of people by themselves in Japan,
and it's stay of restaurants that are sort of set
up that way, right for like one person to look
at a wall, you can read your your mango, or
your look on your phone or whatever. Do you look
at your phone? Do you read a book? What do
you do? Are you just there? Depends on where I might.
If it's like a people watching place, uh, I'll sit

(17:48):
there and eat for a long time. And just I
don't like to work in public. That's strange. Like my
wife likes to go to like a coffee shop that's
busy and people are coming in out, and she's like,
I like to work there. I'm like, I would get
nothing done. That just too much distraction. I need to
watch what everyone's doing. I Mean, there's a reason I'm
thinking I'm I'm I lean to being a comedian is

(18:08):
because I've already watching people right right right? Uh? But yeah,
like and in some places, yeah, you're just reading. Yeah, Kaitlyn.
If they're for listeners out there who might not be
open to having a dinner alone or meal alone, sell
them on it. Oh. Uh. The pleasure, the relaxation. If
you're worried about that feeling that like it's noticeable, it

(18:31):
just isn't. Nobody cares. No server is gonna be like, oh,
you're eating alone. Does that hurt your hard? You get
whatever you want? Uh? Yeah, I think it's just uh
you never have to, especially if you're hungry waiting for someone.

(18:51):
It's just it's it's the worst or like waiting in
between bites to like talk sometimes like let's just eat
this ship? Can we just yes? When it's like eating
is also a physical function that you need, So enjoy it, relaxed,
don't compromise in any part of it, and just have
it all your little own. The formality And what's a myth?
What's a myth? What's something people get wrong? Hip them

(19:12):
to the truth? Save it for a rainy day, Spend
it baby. The world's over and once it's raining that
hard money ain't gonna matter. Hell yeah, spending my what
saving for a rainy day? You think saving for rainy
days a myth? No? I just had to think of
something that I had a fun, quippy thing for it.
I mean, well no, I just like I'm just curious

(19:33):
like that. I wasn't mad or anything. It's more curious,
like the thought process have been. Like I think as
comedians we definitely think that way, especially early in our career,
where it's like we have to just take anything we
can give and it's right back into it. But then
I also think, like me and my friend Matt call
it crying in the shower when you're just crying in

(19:56):
the shower in a hotel room because you're like the
math it works. Oh yeah, right, yeah, I mean that
is a different problem. Yes, I mean, aside from the
edge of cential crisis of a comedian who you've never
heard of, and therefore I have money that I have
never heard of. I'm what I'm talking about is rainy day.
Let's let's key in on that one word in what

(20:17):
I have declared to be a myth, Like if we're
really talking, I'm gonna I'm applying the catastrophic meaning to rain. Yeah,
I'm talking about like climate change, rainy day, electricity. That, yes,
that kind of rainy day. I mean that in the
horrors that are coming, your money will not save you.

(20:41):
So have fun while we got fun to have, like
the illusion of what our money is. Yes, the only
thing that will matter, or is the knowledge and ability
you have when we live in water world and we're
all Kevin Costner drinking our own p it won't your
interest rate isn't gonna matter. And right only advice to

(21:01):
that would be collect gold that will be the like
that will actually still be worse. I didn't understand that
for so long, Like I thought humans were dumb because
we like shiny gold, But I didn't understand that gold
is right in the middle of the periodic table of elements.
It's just rare enough to be found everywhere, but hard
enough to be fine to be rare. It's on a

(21:23):
short list of things that isn't a vapor, isn't toxic,
is malleable, Uh, it has a natural intrinsic value, but
electricity it does a lot of interest. That rainy day
sort of idea to is sort of built on this
like deferred gratification thing of like, well, toil now and
you can be happy later, or this idea that like

(21:44):
right now, like you might you know, save it up
or you know, defer that gratification for later, because you
never know what's going to happen. And I think that's
the other thing we kind of get wrong is like
we need to be happy right now. Well it's a
function of it comesnomy either, but agriculture where it's like, yo,
you need to save because yes, we're feasting right now,

(22:05):
but because yes, ship could come and we don't. Netly,
it's like I think that's where it comes from. And
now we have a plethora of all the ship right
so much it's gonna kill us. Yes, uh yeah, of
course if your actual money. Of course, I'm not saying
go spend your I'm just saying metaphorically. But when life,
like when it really becomes rainy day, all that ship

(22:28):
you saved isn't what you actually exact Well, I got
three videos, yeah, float, Yeah, I think the other thing
I think, yeah, there was what the funk was the
book called It's It's a it's a book, but I
forget one of the people who works in a positive psychology,
you know, like not looking at all of the uh

(22:49):
the ills of like our mental health, but the ways
we can sort of hypercharge our psychology for good. Um
and yeah. One of the biggest things is like this
fallacy that people think when you're successful, you're happy, versus
that most many successful people are happy first, and that
was the sort of h the environment in which their
success grew out of, versus this idea of like, well, funk,

(23:11):
when I'm successful, then I'll be happy. And they're like, no, no,
you're energetically putting the cart directly in front of the world. Yeah. No,
it's that what they say to like people, when they
get famous, they just become an exaggerated version of who
they were before. And it really is true. I know
people that were miserable before they got famous and now
they're just even more Yes, and then the people that

(23:34):
were happy before and now they have all this stuff
and they're like super happy. Right, So I think that
is very true. Like it's a decision you make every
morning when you wake up, get happy. All right with that,
We're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back,

(23:56):
and we're back and really quickly. Um. There was an
article in BuzzFeed I was talking about the future of
malls might be on college campuses, which is so fucking amazed,
so so American that I can't believe it. Um. We've
talked in the past about how the traditional mall is
dying because of e commerce and the fact that the

(24:18):
just general brokenness of these newer generations, ourselves included, um,
but the way retails are kind of, you know, finding
a way to survive. It says, go right to the
doorstep of these broadcast kids, which is on a college
campus or right in or around a college campus in
the city, and so like these are the new hot
locations for you know, trying to form consumption habits and

(24:40):
these young adults very early, so you have like target
urban outfit ors even sucking Lulu Lemon and building debt
while you do exactly. Yeah, the credit card applications are
right well, and they know that you've got free money
because you've taken out these loans to get into the school,
so you've got most of that money is to live on.
It's not even two for the two ishing, right, So

(25:01):
then you can spend all this money. It's not yours.
You're gonna pay back it anyway, but give it to us.
And then what they've also known is they've looked at
airports and they're like where people trapped. Yeah, and then
they're like, oh, let's create a mall in the airport.
And that's what most airports are. That Harley Davidson store
at l A X not doing too well good. I'm

(25:21):
just sorry, but there are certain ones because it's not
in the Southwest. Term have you seen any Why would
you not? Why have you seen any thriving though? Like
airports stores, Chick fil A No, no, no, like a
retail or retail operation. Uh yeah, that the one, well,
I was gonna say, Hudson News. And then the one
that has all the headphones and stuff. That one they

(25:42):
keep popping up. Oh my god, I was I had
to get a fucking charging cable. You buy the fucking
yeah balls and gam meets. They pulled that that charging
cable tighter and they just rip your balls off, exactly,
snapped right off after you paid them for exactly, said
you want to receive I said yes. He snatched my
sack off like a paper towel and handed it to me. Um. Yeah,

(26:04):
So anyway, I digressed. The thing that's interesting is like
a lot of the data though that especially Target has
been looking at, is that like, wait a second, these
smaller format stores are performing very well. They have one
they have their first small format store near the University
of Minnesota in and since then ninety eight small of these,
like mini Targets I think they're like city targets. They

(26:25):
calm around here. Um, twenty six of them are near
college or university campuses, and they just say, like, the
customers shop more frequently because it's like the selection is smaller,
but they're always going to get there the things they
need there because they have just enough selection where a
lot of the students like, well it's close and it
has most of what I need, and it's kind of cheap,

(26:46):
and it's big. It's a big Walgreen. Yeah. They also
don't have money or time to go anywhere else. Yeah. Well,
then the other thing is that USC they've completely turned USC,
like into like the Americana. Will not the Americana, but
like they've they've converted the village. Um, you can pair
USC to any other universe. I know, but of course
that's brain on that. But I'm gonna get some hate

(27:07):
mail for no reason. I mean, I think most USC
students who are reasonable and know what the legacy of
USC is can know that it's a rich kids school,
young Republicans that's fine, and and some great film school
talents and for kids overseas, his parents own industries. Exactly,
they can come get a degree exactly. They don't really

(27:28):
need because they've already they already know what they're going
to do, right, And that the USC when it's like,
you know a lot of people are like, yo, you're
just gentrifying this area, what much quicker? And they're like, no,
we're gonna, like of the people we hire will be
low income, and then we're also going to prioritize people
within a five mile radio. Of the people you hire
are going to be low income. Percent of the people
you hire clean up ship and you treat them like

(27:49):
they have no dignity. Well, but I use that stat though.
It's good, But I think that's a good thing. It's
like loophole we already do um And yeah, I think
the other criticism too, is like some students who aren't
as privileged as the other ones, maybe your typical SC
student UM, are saying like I don't have money to
like shop at some of these retailers, like these aren't
really necessarily for college students, but again, you know, yeah,

(28:12):
it's for rich kids. It's for like it's weird, Like
I remember, didn't you have a meal plan when you
went to school? Had a meal plan? Right? But like
I walked to the usc one because there's an Amazon
store you can drop stuff off, return it. The Nightmare
to get toy did it once and I was like,
I was like, oh, this is not worth returning. This
is how they get you. Yeah, I'm now keeping this

(28:33):
shoe that doesn't fit exactly. Yes, but there's a trader.
So many restaurants in on the campus that I was like,
oh this is I never maybe once a week I
would go to a restaurant that I worked at, right,
because I was getting I was like, this is this
is rich kids ship. Yeah, I mean unless you're eating,

(28:55):
you'll use to eat at the cafeteria like the meal hall,
are dining hall rather or like the myriad of like
broke kid restaurants that are set up for like you
got four bucks, okay, this is what we got. Yeah,
here's some Chinese food buffet that we've had on this
display for since you've been in college, since you were
in junior high. Yes, also, r I p your blood
pressure because this is just basically sodium with colors. Oh

(29:17):
all you eat in colleges, the salt and various packages
and joke where he's like I didn't drink water. Yeah,
that was like I would be like mainly that hippie
with their nal gene in class, like I'm still drinking.
Always say there was liquor in that one was almost
State University. That was a tried and true nalgenes were

(29:40):
an essential fashion accessory. Yeah front you up there? Yeah,
I mean um okay. North Space was the only brand
that mattered. I do think there's a future for alls.
It does make sense, not just for economic reasons, but
colleges are set up to be malls in the traditional definition,
not of commerce, but of a place of open air
walking from one function to the next, uh, which is

(30:01):
what a mall is theoretically supposed to be. Uh. Like
the guy who made malls, the original founder of malls. Yeah,
it's like something grew and uh. There is like an
architect that made the first malls and there were these
they were kind of designed to trap you in them,
but also to make you interact with people. Victor. Uh Yeah,

(30:26):
but yeah, what we've done with them all his idea
is turned it upside down and ruin it. And he
just would have hated the malls that became malls the
of current times, which kind of cracked me up. And
this is a little closer to what malls because there,
like the store becomes a part of your community because
they blended in with the architecture and with everything else.

(30:46):
So Trader Joe's isn't a standalone entity in your mind,
Trader Joe's part, it's seemed into your where you live,
where you study, where you work, and where you eat it.
I mean it's sort of predatory and it sort of
makes sense. Yeah, like Traitor Joe is actually trying to
be part of the community, isn't you know it's a

(31:09):
different camp. Yeah, They're like, we changed our name because
we thought Asian people couldn't say it right. And I'm like, wow, yeah,
when you I thought that was a joke. It goes
about him like what the fun Okay? But those that
active where it feels really great. Man, I just really
got the joke too. Said it in my head where
I was like, and they said it out loud as

(31:30):
my mother would say it. Rum that was noises sound funny,
you know what I mean? Yeah, man got him. All right,
let's sell some yoga mats. But well, let's talk about
another business that doesn't have their ship together. The what
what does The New York Times call themselves the paper
of record or a prestige journalism. Anyway, they are having

(31:55):
a real hard time telling people what is happening on
earth in general. Earlier, there was an op ed, like
after the shootings that said, you know what, for white
nationalists who agree with the ideology but don't like the violence,
they should talk to their other people like what they
were like, sort of saying that white nationalists needs to

(32:16):
self police. Cut too. When Trump gave that really empty
gesture of like unity speech, I guess it was just
a teleprompter where he didn't even know the difference between
Dayton and Toledo, Ohio. Um. The first UH cover or
the first front page headline read, Trump urges unity versus racism.

(32:37):
It's not a great a word. Um. Wow, you mean
guy who is whose fiery rhetoric is inspiring this kind
of violence. Um, but you know he's saying, but guys,
it's I don't like I don't like white supremacy. It's bad.
So I guess that's him urging unity. Or I guess
he used words that technically could be defined as that,

(32:57):
but completely missing the point about what this president means
to many of these white nationalists. Um, and then this base. Yeah.
Well then then they once enough people were like, what
the funk is this headline? Like how could you even
act as if this this president is leading the country
in any direction but south? Um, then there's like a

(33:18):
sailing hate but not guns. I don't okay. I feel like,
you know, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt
here a little bit, because I feel like the way
the newspapers and media works now is you have to
They don't know how to engage interaction. So a lot

(33:42):
of it's this disingenuous thing where it's like the guy
being like, here's how you save money, not tipping, and
no one knowing that the most of the world would
be like, let's burn the whole thing down because of that.
So I think they are they put these op eds
in there to fire people up because they know when
they do that, they look at these these stats, these

(34:04):
analytics that say, hey, when we the when we say
this crazy shit, the money thing goes up. Right. I
mean that aside, I think the front page isn't an
op ed, And my biggest criticism with the New York
Times right now is based on this headline, which obscures
the actual reality of what the country is in right now.
To say that the Trump that the president was urging

(34:26):
unity is not true. I think he disingenuously uh tried
to come off as an empathetic leader and failed terribly. Yeah,
And I think this for anyone who isn't quite you know,
as engaged with the news will read that and be like, oh,
I guess the president. Okay, so I guess he's urging
unity versus racism, rather than Trump is encouraging racism versus unity.

(34:47):
It's also just framing the language which every good tyrant does,
which uh, when Trump says he opposes white supremacy, that's
because he's already given you a whole language that means
that that isn't those words, because his base knows that
those words are the bad words that you're not supposed
to be or say. But you can say immigration, you
can say infestation, you can say go back home, you

(35:09):
can say lock him up. You can say all of
that stuff to mean the same thing. So he's just
parroting back like no, no, no, kids were still not
ha ha, we're still not Nazis. But yes we can
have detention centers, and yes we can have you know,
it's it's it's those assholes that and it's okay. Here's
an example of where I learned it a long time

(35:30):
ago that the terminology getting rid of words will never
make it go away, because I was I went to
see this guy went to high school with. He worked
on a farm, and we're him and these guys lived
together we were young, and I went to drink with
them all weekend. They kept talking about seeing these Canadians
or a bunch of Canadians there, blah blah, and it.
At first, I was like, that's weird that they hate

(35:51):
these Canadians the way they're saying it. Come to find out,
they was talking about black people and they were saying
Canadians instead of the N word because they knew that
they couldn't say that anymore. And once I I mean,
it took me a day and a half to figure
it out. Uh. Also because we were in Missouri, so
it was like there might have been like four black

(36:11):
people that they saw in this fucking farm town. So
it made me like that's when I realized, like, oh,
they're just gonna they could say concrete or whatever word.
It's just the hate that comes with it, and that's
what he's doing. He can like he can just say
like like like you said, like it's just immigration, or

(36:33):
you know, it's like whistle, it's me saying in the
word I have a bit about this in my act
is like me my wife is Jewish. Me saying that
with my accent. Some people cringe because it sounds hateful,
because the people that have said you with my accent
have said it in a hateful way for years. So

(36:53):
it's just a it's and they don't know how to
frame it either. I think that's I think they do.
I think that's my problem with the New York Times.
They think they've always been um for a paper record.
They are a white ass record. I mean, I was
poking around on my phone trying to find some of
their historic headlines that make this headline no surprise, and
because this one's making so much noise, it's a little

(37:14):
harder to find. But let's not forget hits like negro
cocaine fiends are a new Southern menace, murdering insanity increasing
among lower class blacks because they have taken to sniffing
since deprived of whiskey by prohibition. This is turn yeah,
but it reads like I mean, go to the eighties
and you're looking at the same headlines, like exactly the

(37:36):
same headlines. They've been politicizing issue. This paper in particular
politicizes uh, social and racial issues in the worst frames possible,
and they have for a long time. And it's a
very weird white tradition where like, we're not racists, so
nothing can be racists. So we're going to figure out

(37:57):
how this isn't about race or racism. And the New
York Times during this time frame of turn of the
century less century, uh, during this Negro Cocaine fiends article,
Craze was running articles about how war veterans are um
the like, suffering because of their post war injuries. Uh.
What they were taking for those post war injuries was

(38:19):
cocaine and they were losing their fucking minds. It was prescribed.
It was in this year's Robot Catalog. It was just ugly. Yes,
of course it does, it most certainly does. But it
comes with this other host of problems that we couldn't
blame on veterans. So we only looked at the problems
when they happened to people who weren't white veterans, and
then we made them criminals, and we like it's, um,

(38:42):
it's wealthy liberals. It's who we're talking It is exactly
wealthy liberals and doing uh, we're doing the same thing
by letting Trump take the language of uh, you know,
he can say he's not white supremacist because the New
York Times will print his his opinions about immigration as
if it's news. It isn't racist, he said, rather than

(39:02):
this president has unacceptable views. It's an old trick to
sell papers. Is constant conflict, and even when there's not conflict,
they created to sell papers. This is a bizarre what
an era to think that there's that you have to
manufacture conflict in But that's what I'm saying in this

(39:23):
time and saying you've got to make something they're not.
We're not talking about actual journalists when we're talking about
there were a real journalists. I mean there are, to
their credit, there are some good journalists at the New
York Yes, but that's not who we're talking about. Frustrating part,
We're going to have a longer discussion about this headline
than we did about the story the New York Times
broke about Donald Trump's financial history. Feeling that dirty tricks.

(39:44):
He's been up to it with his family since he
was literally three years old and was given a trust.
There's no conflict there because it's just that's a rich
guy store. It's well, and it's fact. It's just a
fact that we all go yep. But how do we
stop it? They've got to stop talking like this so
dumb people don't understand. We need to start communicating and

(40:05):
that that's part of what you're saying with The New
York Times is like my thing with them is like
any it's the same as wealthy liberals. It's like when
I moved to Seattle, I thought I'm going to this
bastion of progressiveness and I've come from this little town
in East Tennessee. And then I get there and I'm like,
where the funk is all the black people? Yes, you know,

(40:26):
and you're like a different part of town. You're like, oh,
and then you hear like people that are liberal or
whatever called the black part of town the ghetto, and
you're like, that's not a ghet up. That's where black
people live. That's a neighborhood. But that I can show
you a ghet up the well. Yeah, because again, even
like you're saying there's not a we haven't had a
reckoning with the racism of this country, America. Like you know,

(40:48):
I was saying this yesterday gold Medal and deluding ourselves
that we never did anything wrong ever, and we're incredible
and we're amazing. So Santa Monica, it's Santa Monica, know, exactly,
one of the most liberal cities in the world, and
it's also a hotbed for young fascists. Yes, ah, well,
let's talk, um, you know, speaking of inability to hold

(41:11):
themselves accountable. The GOP is just doing a great job
of that. Um. I guess they didn't learn their lesson
from the absolute thrashing they got in the mid terms.
Um over their inability to just read the general vibe
of the country and what people want. Um. You know.
So right now, in the wake of the shootings, people
are asking for their clamoring. They're literally saying do something, uh,

(41:34):
screaming that at legislators to do something about gun control
and to take white nationalism seriously as an actual domestic
terror threat. Um. And the GOP they're doing not that
much a lot of empty words. Lindsay Graham was like, yeah,
we could, I could back a red flag bill, but
also said maybe states should handle that problem first and

(41:54):
then we can do something at a national level. That
is not a response, right, and it just played book
to playbook. But again, when you look at the mid terms,
there were people who won swing districts on gun control,
you know what I mean, and a lot of people
like that, ain't that's not gonna work. But Okay, here's
my thought on this. Because I do like strategy and
I enjoy that stuff. I think this group of quote

(42:16):
unquote g O P that we're talking about, they don't
give a ship what their constituents think. I think that
there there's some weird coup being planned the way it's
all this weird audition like all these these congressional hearings
and when they you know, a lot beer that that's

(42:36):
all auditioning, like Lindsey Graham saying in those speeches that
Jordan dude from Ohio it's some kind of fascist uh theater.
So when something happens, they don't care if they did
elected anymore or not. I don't think that's the way
they're viewing this. They're gonna be in power forever like
they they have that, and I don't like saying that,

(42:58):
but that's the only thing that line up well especially well,
I mean, there's well when you think about this, when
like Ted Cruz is like, we need to make anti
fascists a terrorist group exactly, So if a group that
is anti fascist is illegal and is a terrorist group,
that would indicate that perhaps the government itself is a
fascist fast yep. So you know, but again when you

(43:19):
take those things into account. But I think also at
the moment, right, there's still art, there is an ability
still to possibly participate in a some kind of representative
democracy here with voting. But I do I do agree
that they do have this attitude. It's like, well, we
got this other card we can play, and we're not
gonna play it yet. But like there is this really
eerie calm, and it's it's either they feel like they

(43:41):
have another card they can play or it's just this
inability to actually see what else is going on to
because things are changing, right. I think they don't think
the American public will protest and walk out of their
jobs if they take power, and I hope they're wrong,
but I understand that that that they're betting on that

(44:05):
people just get complacent enough to be like, wow, yeah,
is a WiFi working? Yeah? Yeah, when the Knicks are
still playing, Yes, yes, maybe we'll see. But yeah, I
mean that that's there's obviously, I mean we've already been
slow boiling to this point when you just think of
everything that's been happening, um and again, just to go
along with it now, to even people who are within

(44:26):
the party who are speaking out against the GOP, like
Republicans themselves, they're just going after them. So in Nebraska,
the Republican Party called for a state senator, John McCallister
to just reregister as a Democrat because he got some
attention on Sunday after he's saying the Republican Party, this
is a quote, is enabling white supremacy in our country.
As a lifelong Republican, it pains me to say this,

(44:48):
but it's the truth. So they're like, oh, you know what,
why don't you just change your Why don't just change
the Democrat? Then, if you're gonna talk like that rather
than you know, engaging saying yeah, maybe this is a thing,
because this is someone who is somewhat reasonable and looking
at objectively what's going on, saying this is not a
good look mccollusher at that point just said he would
like love to do it because he he would be

(45:10):
able to tell his constituents of the truth. So um, yeah,
and he basically said that a lot of the activity
and the Republican Party described it, quote as obvious racist
and immoral activity inside our party. And then this is
what's happening. So now they're screaming out the people who
are trying to bring reason into the party. But I

(45:31):
guess that's part of this evolution that's happening. It's like, well,
hold on, man, we already took the fucking mask off.
We already know this is what it is. So if
you if you have a problem with racism, then go
be a Democrat. That is the message, you know what
I mean in saying message to put forward, Like you know,
blind pride in your party is one thing, but like,
oh you don't like racism, go to the other side.

(45:52):
Then how dare you how dare you describe our party
with accuracy? Get the funk out. I'm not trying to
win a cup. Snooze the funk out on that one, please. Um.
And then also, um, you also look at sort of
what's happening in Texas too. You know, there was a
shooting in El Paso, and there's this in you know,

(46:13):
I think Trump could be visiting today or tomorrow. There's
a lot of hesitation because they're like, uh, you're the
precisely because of the way you're speaking, and the person's
manifesto is echoing words, yeah, I don't we don't really
want you here. Um. But there's a lot of fear
on the right about where Texas is headed because we've

(46:34):
talked about this in the past. But if Texas, you know,
as it goes from red to now, it's starting to
get purple ish the second it goes to blue, and
you look at all the states that are locked in
as blue states, there's no path to two seventy electoral
votes for the Republicans at that point. There's just aren't.
And that's an existential threat that they're having to really
look at because they've been very rigid in their policies

(46:57):
and slowly as everything else, of nderestimated house how how
strong a woman is in Texas. And they've went after
women in Texas more than a lot of other places
in the South. But what they don't understand is women
controlled that household whether those men act like it or not.

(47:19):
Women controlled that household and the most memorable Texas leaders
and Richard and I mean I go to Texas quite
a bit. It's when I will never live there. But
the spirit there is contagious and I love it, but
I understand it to a certain degree. And it's like
the South too, is like these motherfucker's gonna push and push,

(47:41):
and these women will take a lot because they always
have and they've been taught how to um. But there's
a point and they've reached it. And then there's this
new generation below, these uh women that aren't married and
don't give a fuck, but they've got that same spirit

(48:02):
and that's scared and I'm very attracted to that type
of woman. That's who I'm sexually attracted to. Is a
little pushback. That's the reason I'm maye a little Jewish woman.
That's my face. Yeah, I need someone to tell me
to shut the funk up now because I won't. Uh,
but that up. That's four play's she's set the right, Yeah,

(48:25):
shut the funk up. Depend on what I'm saying, Yeah,
and how I'm active, for sure. It is. And it's
also this thing of like Texans also recognizing enemy, the
true in him. And for a while they were scared
because they could they politicize some immigrants coming up and
causing some problem. Now it was cartel ship, and they

(48:48):
made it seem like it was normal ship. That's a
political move they did. But Texans are smart, and that's
why they're so armed. It was a lot of people
that went there because they like fighting, and then they're like, hey,
there's a lot of space, let's hang out here, right right, right,
So but they can recognize the oh, the true enemy
now is not these poor people who have been helping

(49:08):
us farm, right, it's these crazy motherfucker right right right,
who we've been kind of backing because they scared us
into thinking they were taking our guns and ship. But
they're starting it's starting to come around generationally too. And
I mean since Texas also they have the nation's fastest
growing cities. That means the suburbs are also swelling, and

(49:28):
the suburbs are all voting in a very similar way,
which is they're going they're moving blue. And that's why
even donors. Right, So there's um Dan Everhardt, who is
you know, a donor oil gas executive who said straight up.
He's like, Republicans are going to be extinct in the
suburbs if they don't distance themselves from the n r A. Yep,

(49:49):
the GOP needs to put forth solutions to help eradicate
this gun violence epidemic. This is from a Trump supporting
oil and gas man who is saying, like, I know
what the fund is going on, Like, if you don't
sort this ship out, I don't know who, then you
you're gonna have to create bots to vote for you,
which they might do well they are, but um, and again,
this same donor is saying needs to make a lot

(50:11):
of moves like universal background checks, loopholes like this is
all coming from you know, these donors, the people who
are backing it financially. And to then follow that up
again he says otherwise Republicans are going to lose suburban
voters just like they did in the mid terms on healthcare.
So they're in a bit of a tough spot. But again,
I don't know the way I'm looking at it's either
they're gonna not change or maybe there's this weird Trump

(50:34):
card pun intended that we don't know about. Well, they'll cheat,
I mean, they're trying I mean, I think that's the
that's that's the attitude. I don't think they're really taking
more than the courts. The courts, packed the courts, jerrymander
the funk out of this tramander. We will prevent people.
That's been there move. They've been setting this up since
they declared abortion political issue. They've been setting up how

(50:55):
to gain power in the sixties. They've started jerrymandering there.
They started figuring out how it and the Democrats don't
because they're not. And it's just like, I think it's
a pore people foundation issue, is like, and the good
thing is that I think there's more people that lane
left in the world and lean right. It's just the

(51:15):
people that lean hard right are super fucking motivated. It's
like evangelical, fanatical religious people. They're very motivated. They're the
loudest and they're not going to chill out and be like,
you want to go to the park and just smoke
some weed and play with their dogs. No, let's got
to figure out what to do. Let's figure out how

(51:37):
to manipulate the system so that we gain all the power.
And it's like, we just need more motivated, good time people.
It's two courses on so left and right have competing forces.
If the good natured side of both left and right, uh,
conservative and liberal whatever labels fucking apply anymore. I don't

(51:59):
know or care, but the fundamental fight is between self
preservation and altruism. Two natural forces that drive us too
necessary forces, uh, two forces that need balance in order
to be effective. You have to preserve yourself. You have
to take care of your own beings so that you
can take care of others even if you want it.
You know, the two work together, uh and more. Traditionally,

(52:22):
a conservative philosophy sort of says that if you and
yours are okay, then you will be able to move
through the world without causing harm. Whereas, you know, whatever
the liberal side sort of believes is like, well, if
we all take care and are you know, invested in
one another, then we'll all be able to move through
okay positive forces. Each one of those sides has a

(52:43):
negative force as well that wants to take and control that.
We've enjoyed brief stints in our history where there were
sort of polite leaders who had that more. I don't
know the light side of conservatism and liberalism. Uh, we've
had those leaders at helm and right now we have balance.
We're talking about balance, I ain't talking about a balance yet,

(53:05):
and it's but with a philosophical intent, and we have
a different philosophical intent that's predatory. And honestly, it's so
easy to say Democrats can't, don't, are spineless, and don't
stand up to the Republicans. Um. But that's why I
think we're missing a split where um, right now, there
isn't a predatory arm that's very alive in liberal politics,

(53:29):
and conservative politics do have a predatory arm that's alive,
and it's eating up all the conservatives. Actual conservatives are
drowning at the people who just think that if we
take good care of ourselves, we can take good care
of others have no place in the Republican Party currently.
It's being devoured by horrible predators. And I mean, yeah,

(53:49):
it is hard to watch. It's a shame because I
do believe, as a way too liberal person that there's
a necessary balance that I'm interested in a conservative counterpoint, um,
But this is not. And they're gone and there's no
home for them in their party. Welcome to our side,
Come on over the Yeah, the weird thing about the
Conservatives at this point because the way I've always understood it,

(54:11):
the way I've always liked to look at it, is
like people change and ideas change, and that's why liberalism
can kind of change and will always progress because our
understanding and our world is always progressing. Where conservative is,
you know, it's usually a policy thing, and I think
you're totally right where it's not about policy difference anymore.

(54:35):
Like most Conservats I knew growing up, we're just more
like numbers never change business and you're like, like you're saying,
like I take care of my own. I've always had
a problem with that to a certain degree because I
like to go where it's to leave on home way
of thinking, like you take what you need and you
leave the rests where a lot of what keep what
you need, give what you gotta keep what you need. Well,

(54:58):
that's the thing is like they're not. It became more greedy, greedy, greedy,
and it became less about policy and more about like
you gotta get yours at any cost. And I think
that came from the eighties. Is when that was really sparked,
is when that corporate puppet and that's what he is,

(55:19):
Ronald Reagan was a corporate He was a fucking shield
before he was a politician. That's why he was an actor.
He was just a commercial actor. Is what he mostly
was that you could needed to say what and he
was good at saying stuff. I would admit that he's
great to listen to, great order, um, but that greed.
We we stopped sending all our most talented, smartest people

(55:41):
to learn how to better humanity and reward them for it.
And we sent him to Wall Street because that's where
all the money is, that's where all the power is.
That's and it's been that for forty years and now
we're reaping that. Yeah, well you know, uh, maybe they'll
be bright day's ahead, but we won't know until after

(56:02):
this commercial break and we're back and very quickly. I
just want to touch on Aaron Carter. He's got a
little bit Aaron Carter Parter. He is in a little

(56:24):
bit of hot water because apparently he went to go
rescue a bulldog and then this like this rescue facility
was like, oh, we're so happy. Aaron Carter gave this
new doctor forever home, like, you know, please send us pictures.
He went on Instagram live like I don't know, maybe
a day or two later, maybe that day, and it
was timeing like, this is my new dog. Check it out.

(56:45):
You know. Hopefully, um, I'll be able to keep it.
You know, I don't know if I'll be able to
you know, if I might be on the road or whatever.
But if I can't keep it, you know, uh I can.
I can sell him for thirty dollars and you know,
he's a good dog, and hopefully I can be able
to keep him. But you know, if if you want,
like if I'm not able to, maybe for thirty five
hundred dollars, you could buy him DM me. And then

(57:05):
people were like, hold the funk on? Is Aaron Carter
just flipping this rescue dog for money? And is this
something he's doing. He comes out with the tweet um
that says, I think it's appalling that I actually even
have to explain myself. I've rescued many dogs and found
many dogs homes. What I said in my Instagram live
video was a joke. Find one dog that I adopted
and sold for money, be my guest, won't happen. I'm

(57:26):
a good person and I deserve respect. Um. Sure it
could be a but when you when you say the
price many times and not like ha ha ha like,
and you're trying to create a logical reason as to
why you could sell the dog. Um, it's it's I'm
failing to see the joke. Now. You two are very
familiar with jokes. You do them professional. Here's the thing.

(57:48):
I don't like defending Aaron Carter. I don't. I didn't
come here to be in that position. No, I hear you,
But this isn't that cut and drive. He said. It
was like he was asking thirty for the bulldog. Yeah,
that's a lot for a bulldog. You can get a
puppy for which is a lot for a dog, period,
But you can get a brand new puppy Ford. That's

(58:12):
why I think he's joking. I don't think he's a comedian.
I think that's part of the problem. When people like him,
or pretty women or athletes think they're funny, it's because
their fans laugh at them because they didn't. I'm sorry,
I know, but do you understand what I'm saying Where

(58:34):
it's like, these guys think they're funny because all these
fans laugh at them when they do something silly. So
their idea of a joke, isn't. It's like when I
just say something that I don't mean, that's a joke
that's very funny and not actually jokes it is. It's
alarming in your defense when you're like, show me a

(58:55):
dog that I've adopted that I that I didn't keep.
Find a picture of one of the dogs I adopted
but didn't keep. You go ahead find the evidence like that.
Maybe there are some dogs you adopted that you didn't keep. Um,
And if it was a joke or something, I mean again,
maybe a lot of people respond very viscually to things

(59:16):
on the internet and they feel they have to defend themselves.
If it was in fact a joke and you've never
done that, you might not even dignify that ship with
a response. We're like, dude, are you kidding? Yeah, that
even then, because in your mind is like, this is
gonna go nowhere because I've never sold a dog. So
there's no way they could even follow this up. Aside
from just me saying that, we're also talking about a
guy who was a pop star when he was like

(59:37):
twil So his brain, isn't I think we're trying to
put dollars. I think that's what we're discovery. The implication
of like I got a dog yesterday, but who knows
I could be on the road is like you'd know,
you know when and where, and yet theoretically you could
be doing a state fair somewhere Aaron Carter. But I'm

(59:59):
going to guess you might not get I bet he does.
I bet he gets thirty five. Yeah, what what did
you say for? Uh? If he's doing a state fair?
Do you think Aaron Carter's doing state fairs? And I
underestimating his appeal or over us? I can tell you where,
I can tell you're going to say that he's going
to be at the Indiana State Fair August nine? Yeah, Uh,

(01:00:26):
then the Capital Theater in Flint, Michigan. Uh, and then
some other that's mean Flint deserves better. Well, no, it's
a mid market and I think that's what it's getting.
And I think he's getting probably at least fifteen or
you think to state? What about first state Fair? That's
free admission though, yes, but it's not free admission. It's

(01:00:48):
too free admission to the concert once he costs money
to get into the fair, and then they're making like
I just know some people that have done that fair circuit.
It's a lot of check it's a lot there's a
reason they do it right, right, right, It's a ton
of fucking money for one show. Well, zy, Gang, if
you have insider information on the financial situations of state fairs,

(01:01:11):
please let us know, because I really want to go
to a state fair, actually very soon. I worked at
a county fair for a number of years. I can't
give you any state fair secret, see like that. But
I can't say the county fair is a hushold. They
make a lot of money. They make a ton of money,
or they wouldn't do it every year anywhere where was
deep fried? Hell, just take me there? Um, okay, well, Caitlin,
thank you so much for being with us. Um. You're

(01:01:33):

was a consultant creative consultant because that's it's a fancy

(01:03:03):
word for a rider when they can't pay you, like
a rider on the new season of squid Billies that
comes out next week, and I'm doing some voices on
some episodes that we haven't recorded. Him. Oh, ship, well
it's They're like, oh, it's coming out next week. Also,
we're gonna do some episodes in three weeks. And you're like, oh,

(01:03:25):
I'm nervous. Yeah. Oh, I forgot to ask Caitlin. Is
there tweet that you're liking something you read? You're like, hilarious,
good buddy. Kevin O'Shea tweeted out. I took a picture
of it so I could get it right. I'm going
to open it up, but I remember it. Uh, this
is a Kevin o'she tweet. Uh, comedians and cars picking
up their seventeen year old girlfriends from high school. Oh man,

(01:03:49):
that is accurate, Jerry, comedians and porsches picking up their
seven I think that was picking up their girlfriends out
of park. Yeah, I believe it's the story of that one.
What about you, Billy, I mean, I've got to just
give it out to the man that replied to Jason
Isable with the legitimate question about gun control. What are

(01:04:13):
you gonna do when thirty to fifty Ferrell Hawgs are
coming at your children while they're playing In the three
to five minutes, that is maybe it maybe the best
tweet of all time. It's a great response. Man, It's
set off. It became like it overtook Twitter comedy culture.

(01:04:35):
Yesterday everything became Ferrell Hoggs and I couldn't. Normally I
hate when that happens, but well, yesterday it was just like,
this is the funniest thing I've ever seen. This is
from the dance Stringer Take me down to the Paradise
City with the hogs on Ferrell in perfect That is

(01:04:55):
a pretty great one. Thirty to fifty Ferrell hawks. That
would be this time of year, in this part of
the country, localized entirely within your yard. That's where my
Simpsons fans, well, that's it's they do go get feral.
It is the thing that happens, and there are like
packs of them. There's never thirty to fifty because the reason,

(01:05:18):
well The reason I know this is because my truly
conservative friend, who's not a ding bat, he's just a
conservative person. He and I and he can he'll admit
when things are crazy. He's not tribal about stuff. And
we were talking about a r and he was a
marine and he was like, I was like, when do
we need one? When did he And he's like, I

(01:05:39):
can't answer that to Three days later he sent me
in an article. He's like, I found a reason why
we actually would need one. And it's like in the
middle of Texas and these huge ranches that these hogs
get loose and they become packs and then they just
kind of funk up stuff. So they go in helicopters
with machine guns and they take care of them, but
they're out in the middle of no Way and they're

(01:06:01):
messing up land. Yeah, and it's like, yeah, we should.
You should have a machine gun, but there should also
be a crazy permit, like to go kill a grizzly
bear or you have to get that gun, or there's
like you have to hire the National Guard to go
do it for you. They're like, sorry, I think you
have a r Are you hog certified permit? Yes, that's fine.

(01:06:22):
And it should be really fucking hard to get. Oh boy, man,
I wish there was a great tweet. There's a video
that I retreated from YouTube. Somebody took am I a song.
What's the cut? Damn it? Yes, paper planes, thank you
am I and Diplo credits to both um and replaced

(01:06:43):
all the gunshots with musket shots. Uh, you know the
chorus and you know it's gun shots and you know
how that's Yeah, it's just bang bang bang bang right
in a row. When you replace them all with musket shots.
The song is twelve minutes long. To say, primate bag.

(01:07:04):
You know, Pebbles go in hit just rand him on,
down with the stick ream boom, Pebbles go in down
with the stick, boom. It's the best and it is
it's the best argument for gun control I had ever heard.
