loud hold postmates and then basted out. Wow, you hit
new levels there, man. I told y'all nickelback, it's in
my pocket, It's in my quiver. The arrow is ready.
It sounds like that might have done some permanent damage

(01:28):
to your vocal listening right now, Okay, I can do
all my voices. I can do the horse steel I
got and I got on my vocal course. Still got it.
I'm still here. Shout out. I guess that was another EXACTA. Yeah,
Christian Agucci and Christie you don't know, shout out to you.
I'm just picturing this dude like down in a bunker somewhere,

(01:49):
like trying to stay safe, well, penning by the light
of a candle. I know he plays bass guitar or something.
I picture him like trying to fight the hurricane, like
at a dock, at the end of a dock, like
slapping some power being like God Miles season weeks of

block in with you? I did Okay, I just want
to make sure because I'm looking for front of you
have two different kinds of cold brew and a can
of Aristolis on screen. That's about my life. You haven't
opened your eyes since take your first sip of cold brew.
It seems like you're literally blacking out right now from

(02:54):
a I had. I've had a shitty month. I've had
a sinus of affection for a months, so I've been
I've been low energy. But I'm like, I've got my
two cold brewis and I'm on this show, which is
always so much fun, So I think I'm gonna be
able to get it together. Daily geist as medicine, that's
what that's what we're here for, man to heal you good.

(03:17):
Because I got some Kirkland cold by this is this.
I don't know if you're allowed to say. We're allowed
to say Kirkland. It's the curse word. So it's a city.
So you know, I saw on on some of the
social media that exists, I saw a picture of you
with a munch of a bunch of a bunch of
cases of Kirkland. You are afraid they're going to discontinue.

(03:38):
A listener said, Hey, I heard from my local costco
that they might be discontinuing, and this is one of
the few consistent cold brewers that performed behind that they
stopped making a cold brew. That I'd be like, they
discontinued my personality, so I have to go out. I'd
have to go get all of it. It's all about
ranch dressing. That I'd be the most man. I'd be

(03:59):
the most boring in the bunker, you know what I mean.
If it's the end of the world, there's no more
cold Brewen was fun until we ran out of cold brew.
You'd have to take up methink. Now only does it
talk about his sinus infection. It's making shake and bake
meth in his old gatorade bottle of Yeah, I forgot
about meth, Jackie. Right at the end of the end

(04:19):
of the world, they probably have some some meth. Yeah,
you never know, you know, it makes anything. When the
apocalypse comes, the weirdest things are going to have value.
You know. I'm hoping just you know, like socks become
the new fucking gold family members. It's going to be
people are gonna be like, no, that's another mouth to
feed to their Yeah, we'll see. I mean look, just

(04:42):
just start buying socks. Y'll um, Chris, We're gonna get
to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we are going to tell our listeners a few of
the things we'll talk about if we have time. Of course,
getting to know you, it's always a lot of fun journey. Okay,
it can take up a little bit of time, but
if we have time, We're gonna talk about Taylor Swift
fans finding out about Tool, that there's a band named

(05:05):
Tool apparently, uh, and they just knocked Taylor off the top,
not feeling the charts and they're confused. We're gonna talk
about the Internet being mean, uh, and how sometimes that's
a good thing. Some news from the end of last
week that might suggest that. We're gonna ask the question,

(05:25):
is Donald Trump not good at being president? We're gonna
talk about mac Miller's dealer getting arrested, and the whole
Fentinel problem that we're dealing with, and these United States,
the Sopranos Festival, Soprano Con and yeah, all that and

(05:46):
plenty more. Facebook's got a dating app. But first, Chris,
we like to ask our guests, what is something from
your search history that's revealing about who you are. Well,
I thought about this because uh um, well, I'm gonna
tell the listeners and you guys about one of the
most important things to me in the world. And I
thought about it because I liked it. I like it
to be a secret. I like it to be my

(06:06):
secret documentary that I only know about. And I know
that I'm not the only one who knows about it.
But but I know that if everybody knew about it,
it would cause, you know, people would really go crazy, um,
people just rioting in the streets. There would be like
shirts and stuff. I think with about this documentary. But

(06:26):
the documentary is called Devil at Your Heels. It's called
Devil at your Heels and it's on YouTube and it
has like documentary it has like a hundred thousand views
or something like that, but it should have it should
have a billion views. It is okay, So it's not
about big It's about a guy named Ken Carter, and

(06:48):
Ken Carter was known as the Mad Canadian and he
was a stunt man. Um and he started out as
a rampboy, uh in. And when he was a kid,
he dropped out of school to be a ramp boy,
which is I mean talk about me being born at
the wrong time, like in my right arm. To a
ramp boy, ram just an extinct job. There's no job ramboy.
It's a ramp boy, just a guy who set ups

(07:08):
ramps like a dropout ramps like job can you'd be
a ramp man like there's just not as many ramps.
It's like being a Ballman's not the same ballman. You're
a ball boy. Yeah, well, no ballman as a designer.
But I think ramp boy for how important a ramp
is to someone's performance, you would want to treat them

(07:29):
with respect because I'm ramp boy they're treating So we
put it this way. In nineteen seventies six in Canada,
you could say like, I'm dropping out of school and
your teacher was like, what he got set up? You're
probably gonna be on the street. And he's like, no,
I got a job set up as a ram boy.
And they're like, alright, that's that's not something you can say.
Probably came with a pension too, so he is all right.

(07:51):
So I was watching like a buzz Feed or Mashable
or I don't know what. It was, some kind of
thing where they do top ten lists, you know, like
top ten car jumps, And there was a clip of
of the Lincoln Continental, a yellow Lincoln Continental trying to
jump over. What he does is he tries to jump
over the St. Lawrence Seaway, which is a mile wide

(08:14):
in uh yellow Lincoln Continental with with wings on it.
And he had in the documentary he had like a
serious team. He had the best best engine builders. He
had a guy on that camera that's like an engineer
saying that he was once he was in the air,
he was gonna be able to fly the car with
the wings like a real physicist, was like, yes, I've

(08:36):
designed this so he should be able to steer it
in the air. And and there's no plan for the
landing really, except he plans he's gonna land in a
bunch of roses. And then they say, well, what about
these trees? Are you worried about the trees? And he
said no, we'll be careful than not not to knock
down the trees. And they weren't saying, you know what
I mean, he took it wrong. They were like, aren't
you worried about the trees? Like you're gonna kill yourself,

(08:58):
And he's like, oh no, we'll be very care full
with the trees. Ken Carter is one of the most inspiring,
not that smart people in the world, and he he
will make you so because he's so confident and he's
really he doesn't have a whole lot of charisma. He
breaks his legs over and over again. He's constantly on crutches.

(09:21):
He says stuff like I'm standing on the threshold of
life when he's when he's not when he's like forty eight.
And he also he said, I grew up in this
poor area, but I grew up and I'm a I'm
a I'm a what does he say? A beautiful physical
specimen something like that, But he's not at all. He's
like he's limping. And it's a very inspiring documentary. My

(09:41):
favorite part is I don't want to give it away
because there's a twist ending m he dies, No, he
dies later. He died later. He died in a rocket
car accident that you can find on there's also you
can watch that on YouTube too. Um twist ending. We
won't so the twis dunny. I won't spoil, but I

(10:01):
will say that the jump does not go well, um
at all, like not at all, you know, and so
when I first showed it to my brother, this is
my favorite thing because it's like, okay, so they build
this hundred foot ramp and like a mile long runway.
I mean, he had funding. He's gonna be on Wide
World of Sports. Even kneels in the documentary. He comes
and checks out the jump and says that he looking good,

(10:24):
looking good. He says that well, he says, he knows
it's gonna be on wild World World of Sports. So
he can't trash the jump totally because they end up
not televising it, but he thinks it might be televised,
so he's actually like, this is a terrible idea, but
he has to be like, but if it, if it
does happen, they'll be the greatest daredevil jump in history.
But he he tells ken that there's no margin of

(10:46):
He said, you got no room for error, but it's
like there's nothing, but he has plenty of room for error,
Like the whole area off the ramp, holes, everything passed
the ramp is room for error. So my brother watches
what happens, which I don't have to. It doesn't ruin
it to say that car shreds. I mean the car
goes off the ramp and it shreds. I mean because
it's going it's a rocket car. It's going like three

(11:09):
hundred four hundred miles an hour, and they've done nothing
to modify the car to make it better at this
they just strapped a rocket to us. And that's the
thing that's actually really interesting about it is the whole
documentary they have have interviews with like competent or seemingly competent,
like engineers who are saying that this is gonna go well. Uh,
but the whole time you're like, how could it go well?

(11:30):
And it's made of the body of the cars made
of fiberglass, which is the reason it shreds, which is
I guess the reason they thought that would maybe fly er.
I don't know, but um my brother watched it shred
and he said he didn't have any context at the times.
I was just like, check out this car jump on
Mashable or whatever. And he said, what didn't happen that

(11:53):
was supposed to happen, Which is the best question about
that accident. When you watch it, you're like, it's a
fair question, but I'm like, he supposed to drive that
thing in the air. He was gonna land it. He's
gonna be careful not to break any of the trees.
Um so he so why were all the sport anyway?

(12:17):
Evil's evil, kin, Evel's in it. It's great. He's wearing
a cream colored outfit and he comes out of a
cream colored Cadillac and tells and tells yes and tells
ken Carter, who you know? Ken Carter looks up to
evil and Evil like, yeah, he still likes. He hits.
He hits um. He has a rolled up like like
brochure or something in his hand, probably it wasures. Everywhere

(12:40):
he hits. He like, he hit ken Carter. He's like,
I'll tell you what, buddy, and like you could tell
that was the best moment of ken Carter's life when
he was hitting him with that piece of paper, because
he was like, listen, buddy, you got to be careful.
There's no room for error. And he was like, it's
been raining. It's been raining, because that's what ken Carter
was like, we're gonna do it, though, we got to
do it, but it's been raining. That's the thing, Evell.

(13:00):
It's been raining. It's been so much rain. He's like, yeah,
well you're not ready. So ken Carter is just like,
we're still gonna do it. Ken Carter ends up dying
years later. The end of the documentary is not ken
Carter dying. It's a much more interesting ending. And anyway,
this guy is one of my favorite people. Ken Carter.
He's he's he's a he. He tries that he drives

(13:21):
it drives a dragster and he can't get the dragster
because he's too fat. He goes he tests, he's trying
to pull gs, you know, getting ready for the jump.
He goes up in a in a biplane to do
checks or something that he throws up and he's embarrassed
about it. Um like, it's embarrassed. Man. He has a
press he has a press conference in like a romata

(13:42):
in announcing that the jump is delayed. That is one
of the greatest pieces of footage ever shot. I mean,
it's in eight in Canada, and like, I mean, there's
just you can barely see him. There's so much smoke
in that room. You can barely see ken Carter announcing
that the jump is delayed because everyone in there smoking.
Everybody everyone's drunk for some reason. At this game. It's

(14:03):
like a buffet and it's like a buffet for the
Ken Carter jump delay announcement. Speaking of the the ramp
boy being inadequate to the job. The jump that ended
up killing him had to be delayed when he first
attempted it because the start off ramp collapsed under his
car when he drove up. Yeah, you can see it,

(14:24):
it's all. You can go on on there and see it.
And there's a whole bunch of people who have like
found the car, and you know, he's got like a
little cult of people. But I just gotta say, if
you want to a midnight movie, a movie for you
guys to watch when a midnight movie like you know
what I mean? A movie for you guys to watch
when your Stone. If I was in high school and college,
I would just watch this movie every night. I would
have never left the college. So you weren't encouraging high

(14:45):
school student high school. In high school, I was studying,
and then as soon as I hit college, I watched
documentary Stone. But um, my friends watched the A team
every day and they put on a red light and
called that condition red. They were all Stone, they all
they not. Well, Chris, what is something you think is overrated? Um? Overrated.

(15:09):
I would say videos on YouTube of people cold starting automobiles. Okay,
this is another YouTube thing I'm into is is like
people go find old cars and they try and like
they go to junk yards and drop batteries in the
old cars and try to drive them out of there. Um.
And I gotta say that. Um. Anyway, I just think
they're not they're not worth it. There's there's two they're

(15:31):
too long and then and most of the time it's
like the car requires a lot of work. Yes, much.
My dream was when I started watching these that they
would be able to just drop a battery and do
it so and just drive it tree roots and all,
just straight out into the onto the highway. Yeah. It's
sort of the like Frankenstein, like child's idea of Frankenstein.
Just put a brain in a dead body and it'll

(15:53):
start like hook the tubes up. But there's six parts
and you gotta like the watch them do the points.
They gotta read whatever, just the points and find out
what's wrong with the gaps and the points and who cares.
I just want to see him find the find an
old gangster car like from real gangsters, like a model
T that still has Tommy guns in the in the
trunk and then they just roar out onto the highway

(16:16):
after they drop a battery and that thing and just
started shooting. Yeah, but that never happens. I think you
can still find the model t that Bonnie and Clyde
got shot up in. I think it's gonna be but
like it used to be in a museum. You know,
that's a There's the thing about that is that everybody
bought of Damn de Soto and shot it up. And

(16:37):
there's so there's like Bonnie and Clyde death cars. Everybody's
got one. What a fun scam. I'm gonna have one
if I could get my hands on a little bit
of money. What is What's something you think is underrated? Underrated?
I would say, Um, well, I'll just say underrated. Uh popsicles?
What do they call? I just looked him up. The

(16:58):
fruit bars that trade or Joe's the fruit pops that
the fruit bars, fruit bars? The three layer, Um, it's
the bottom layers like strawberry, middle layers of lemonade, which
is just straight up sugar. And I mean the lemonade,
I mean lemonade is not a fruit and uh, and
then the top fruit is raspberry. It's supposed to look
like a firecracker, almost, like with red, white and blue.

(17:20):
I know it's like that's red yellow and red yellow yellow,
different kind of red. And having trouble my eyesight, Yeah,
I was. I was eating a lot of popsicles over
the weekend. I love it. It's I'm all about it
all I do now. I stopped eating ice cream. I've
lost weight because I stopped eating ice cream. Thank you.
I stopped eating ice cream and M and m's, and
I've switched the popsicles and they they give me the

(17:42):
same rush, same rush, but they don't make you as fat, alright,
And I swear to God though, don't eat. Do not
eat one of these before bed, because you will not sleep.
They're so what, You're so full of sugar. There's no no,
there's so much sugar. There's so much. I'm old. I'm old.
I'm have you got more sensitive to sugar as I

(18:03):
don't know if you noticed. I'm in my late thirties.
Why do you have me buy you that alcohol that
one time? You have an idea? Because I had no money?
Um so so yeah, so these things are great and
then they really they do if you want to simulate exercise.
There's so much sugar in them that I feel exhilarated
and young girl like when I'm one. I seriously, I'm like,

(18:25):
why does everything all of a sudden. I'm like, life
is fine, Like I'm like, I feel like I feel
like I'm in a brisk breeze and I'm and I've
done a lot of exercise, and it's just I was
like why. And then I looked at the package and
looked how much sugars in them, and I was like, oh,
this is why I feel like we're talking about that
last week. That sugar is a pretty good drug. Yeah. Yeah.

(18:45):
So anyway, if you like sugar and you like um
and you want to lose weight ish, right, you know,
if you want to use it to replace another uh yeah, sugar.
So it's it's a it's called a Trader Joe's Fruit bar.
Is they're like three bucks And but seriously, don't eat
them when you morning or if Yeah, and you'll probably

(19:05):
first thing in the morning, like you probably crash about
forty five minutes later. You might be in a lousy mood,
but that's you'll be cold mood. Yeah, but you'll be
in a good mood for forty five minutes, You're gonna
feel like a mountain climber. What is a myth with
something people think is true, is that you think that
you probably I had such a hard time coming up
with these you these are absurd. Um. You probably think

(19:30):
I'm looking at Anna. Anna. You probably think that you
can't watch the Curse of Oak Island if you don't
have cable. She's been saying that all week. Actually, all
I watch is people do archaeology type stuff on YouTube.
I mean right, so, so Curse of Oak Island? You
know that show on the History Channel. You don't know

(19:50):
that show? Oh I should have done that as my
big one. Then oh man, I go watch Devil your
Heels anyway, but God, you should have. We should have
talked about Curse of Oak Island. Oak Island is this
island off the coast of Nova Scotia and um in
the late kids were out there playing and they found
an area where it looked like it had been dug up,
and they dug dug down, and they dug and they

(20:12):
found a stone with a bunch of markings on it.
And they found uh, um, like a bunch of platforms
like every twenty feet there was a platform of like, uh,
coconut fiber, and that wasn't native to the area. And
then they realized that they think there were drains that
had been created on the beach that was so if
you got down to a certain level of digging, it
would fill the water, fill the pit pit with water,

(20:34):
ocean water. So anyway, these guys, these who hurt. I'd
heard about that story when I was since I was
in grade school, about this Oak Island and they people
kept digging down but the water would come in, come
in and destroy the show. The design was in order
to flood any hull that somebody tried to dig. They're
guarding something. Yeah, so it's like pretty elaborate. So I've

(20:58):
read about it people and trying to find it ever
since the early eight hundreds, and the people have died.
Lots of people have died because because the shafts keep collapsing,
they build these hundred hundred foot deep shafts, and that
some guys died from from fumes from using a pump
down there. Like six people died at once, I think,
or four people died at once, like a father and
his son. Some father dragged his son into this treasure

(21:20):
hunting business, you know, like we're gonna go find this
And they both died. Yeah, they both died from a
pump from pump fumes um And uh yeah, I should
have known you were going to do this to me,
Dad with your nickname pump Fumes, so old pump Fumes,
James pump Fumes. So anyway, these guys, Rick and Marty
Lagina have a show on the History Channel, and they're

(21:41):
two brothers that are trying to find the damn except
they have big money behind him and they've got drills
and cranes and but they still haven't found much and
the and they and it's a great show. I love it.
It's so funny. It's it's great because Klagina is the
dreamer and Marty Laguina, his brother Rick Laghan is like

(22:06):
the sex symbol, and he is clearly a sex symbol.
Like I have a crush on Rick Lagina. It's like
running neck and neck with Nicola White mud Lark and
for people, for treasure hunters, I want to fuck. Uh So,
So anyway, this show is great. So I've been But
here's even the better part of it is that I
don't have cable, so I have to watch, I have

(22:27):
to go on YouTube and watch. But no, that that's
even better. They scramble the episodes like so the algorithm,
so it's like a nonsense version of the episode, which
I still watch. I've watched like every episode of the
show on YouTube where they've chopped the edit so like
the algorithm can't recognize it because the algorithm will be like,

(22:48):
this is a bootleg. Yeah, they're like, the algorithm will
be like, this looks a lot like a bootleg of
our show that we should take off YouTube. But it's
also gibberish. So it's like they cut the video doesn't
match the audio, and you have to watch it like
that and this is and I like that show so much,
you're like, I'll figure that I watch it on that scramble.

(23:09):
A lot of times you'll see them do stuff like
only show you like the image and like speed up
the I've seen the video by like three or what
I couldn't take that I couldn't handle, And this sounds different.
This is what I like this one. The images are
all wrong, but the audio is right. So anyway, if
you guys want to and by the way, Curse of
Oak island. I think is heating up. I think they're

(23:29):
gonna I think they're gonna find something. But there have
been six seasons. Treasure hunting is so much fun to watch.
This is a tribute to me and making sense of
my lifestyle. Is that they've had six seasons or seven seasons.
They haven't found a damn thing. I would that they
think might have come from a ship. I would say
your appetite for watching people pull just junk out of

(23:52):
mud is higher than many a listener. Yeah, but he
converts a lot of people. Yeah, I'm not saying of
larking is you know for for new listeners, check out Mudlarking.
Darking is like the Thames River. I've talked about this
previous episodes. You just just London is a two thousand

(24:13):
year old city. They've been throwing stuff in the river
for two thousand years. And you go down there in
the on the low tide, because the Thames is connected
to the ocean, and you and you go down there
and just dig through the mud and you find everything
from a Roman helmets to um yeah to cell phones
from yesterday. All Right, we're gonna take a quick break.

(24:35):
We're gonna be right back and we're back. And so
this Tool Tool is back years bro. Finally something I
can talk about on this show has come out. And

(25:00):
it's just really funny because the week before, Taylor Swift's
album Lover had come out, um, and it was, you know,
number one, broke a lot of records, naturally, but the
Taylor Swift fans were not did not actually understand the
power of Tool and being off for thirteen years and
a new album coming out. Because when the when the
new album came out, all the Tool fans are ready

(25:22):
to just buy, stream whatever, and naturally it overtook Taylor
Swift on the charts. Taylor Tool was back on the charts, baby, um,
and the fucking confusion from Taylor Swift fans was so hilarious.
It was like a mixture of anger and confusion from
Taylor Swift Twitter. Um, where people are like keep streaming.

(25:42):
I'm just gonna read a few tweets from Taylor Swift Twitter.
It's just like keep streaming, guys. This band Tool is
dropping a new album after thirteen years. L M f
a ot. It's okay, but we still have a chance
stream Lover. Hurt, Hurry, hurry, we have to work. This
is the thing. This is a trend that I've otist
with young people like stands of I feel like I've

(26:05):
seen it with Taylor Swift, fans with like Nicki Minaj,
fans with Beyonce, where they want like they do it
like they're voting for something. We will consume media. They
did it with the Avengers that were like, guys, we
gotta get Avengers back across a billion. What's like this
whole chart dominance thing is how they like validate their
existence because it's like if it's not number one, then

(26:26):
what the funk are we doing? It's true, it's like
just that whole mentor you know, like you see especially
when like K pop stuff pops off and you're like, no,
we gotta get this trending. It's a lot. Stands are
are like they're they're like, I don't know, they're very angry. Yeah,
like yeah, they make it like the artist's success, which
has nothing to do with them really in terms of

(26:48):
it's like a major goal for them. Yeah, there's the
comments like apparently they were really big in the nineties
and then someone did a screenshot of the track listing
they go, omg, the length of each song made me
show ten minutes, eleven minutes, um and then so but
you know, uh. Another one said their last album was
released over ten years ago, so this new one apparently

(27:08):
has more pre orders on iTunes than Lover. Let's just
wait and hope. Right, it's a very strange uh uh,
some sort of end of the world kind of scenario
where people give a shit about whether rich artists are
making enough money or right. Yeah, uh, they only knew
that sacred geometry was the was guiding their hand while
writing Ladder Alice. They would think different. It was funny.

(27:33):
I used to reference. I used to like Tool okay
until they got a little I think it's funny. Their
song titles are really funny because they always have like
I mean, they just sound like, uh, I guess Latin,
mainly like I've been translated to the Yeah, they always
have like it's like what is what's a noculum? It's
all about the truth to some of the first languages.
But there's funny. One person put Grandpa's are angry because

(27:55):
other people in the comments were like saying, like, I
can't believe this old crap, and then some Tool fan goes, no,
we just have good taste in music. Given you both
are Taylor Swift fans, I guess you're used to manufacture
dog shit and wouldn't know what good music is. Yeah,
not even not even regular dog shit. Yeah, manufactured dog shit.
That's a deep insol right exactly comes from my factory downtown.

(28:18):
Although I guess manufactured dog shit. We listen to regular
dog shit right back in the nineties, we listen to
real dog shop or is it worring because you're like
intentionally trying to recreate excrement, right, Like it's worse. And
that's like there's manufactured dog shit that you hide the
key on. But that's joke dog shit. Okay, we call
that joke dog that's called gag dog shit and my

(28:38):
manufactured dog jack credit for bringing up that. There's the
hide ki. Yeah, you don't hear a hideki reference every day.
They still make dog hideks used to be a major
part of culture, Like, oh yeah, they're like six. I
remember one time I was house sitting and someone had
a hideki in a rock and I was so high.
When I showed up, I could not find the rock,

(29:02):
to the point where a neighbor came out and they're
like do you know them? Because to them it was
like some brown with eyes redder than the fucking Japanese
son the hands, Yeah, just like looking underneath. And I
was like, no, I know them, you can call them.
I'm just looking for the hide to key, I'm looking
for hide up pretzel. There's a pretzel in here somewhere. Anyway.

(29:25):
I love seeing generational fans. That is funny to see
a fight between Tool fans and Taylor and to see yeah,
I mean that's just absurd. There's probably very little overlap
on that Ben Benjamin Franklin fighting, you know what I mean.
It's like you don't see you really see like Ben
Franklin versus Hillary fans, or like what's that guy's name,

(29:45):
Chuck Norris against Ben Franklin or yeah, I like that whoa.
One thing I will say is that I was telling Jack,
do you remember the video for sober by Tool? It
was like claymation. Yes, that ship haunted me as a kid,
but I loved it. But I was always like, but yes, wow,
I was old enough that I was just like who
But yeah, but no, no, I know what you mean.

(30:06):
Like for me, it was just like I wish they
stopped that video. Oh it's been haunted by music video
the I was saying, mine are both metallic of videos
one and uh, the Unforgiven, the one that's like clips
from Johnny Got Your Gun or some ship like that.
That's like a World War One movie where the guy
has like the like plague mass covering his head and

(30:28):
he's like, yeah, that was a pretty good one. Yeah
that was That video is terrifying. And then the Unforgiven
one where it's an old man who lives in like
a sewer shaft and it's like and never sees the
sun and then he finally sees a beam of sunlight
and it kills him. I never even understood that. I
didn't know what there was any narrative. I just thought
it was just some guy wandering around like a sewer

(30:48):
or something. Yeah, I think that's basically what it was.
Maybe I that um, but I think he was a
vampire and I think he's had an entire mythology based
for the old man in the Unforgiving. I was an
alcoholic all through all those, uh those videos, So I
think I just like, when you're an alcoholic, you're just
like that's stupid about every Yeah, you don't care about

(31:12):
You're not haunted by anything except your own darkness. Yeah,
you're not haunted by anything external. No. No, because you're
too up your own ass. You think it's cool. Everything's
lame except for drinking. So you're like, yeah, that's stupid video.
Let's get drunk. Uh. Well, and then if you're drunk
watching a video called sober, like, ye, sober? Were they

(31:35):
to to there? Two pussies? Huh? They can't drink, they
can't drink? Huh? Why can't we not be sober? Don't
you be soberry? Weakling? And then you're like, that's true, though,
why can't we drink forever? Yeah? Why can't? Wait? I can?
Why can't you? Guys? Internet trolls? I want to talk
about internet trolls. I was just thinking of Beavis and

(31:58):
butt Head with two drunks, man screaming stupid, dumb, there's
stupid or somebody. So let's talk about Howard Schultz. He
has been bullied out of the race. Apparently, the Howard
Schultz was the Starbucks founding billionaire who said he was

(32:22):
going to run as an independent if Bernie Sanders or
some other leftist extremist ended up getting the democratic nomination.
He would run on behalf of all billionaires, on behalf
of no the majority. He claims that that America is
still majority moderate centrist, and there's just all these extremists

(32:47):
out here that they're allowed minority. That is making it
seem like we're all extremists. But really we all agree
with him that we should just let the markets handle
everything and let the billionaires continue to make the rule.
I'm just so interested in, like, what's so extreme about
saying that people shouldn't be able to be like that

(33:08):
someone being so poor that they die isn't offensive. Yeah,
but that's just so funny, right, People just use these
words without actually pointing to like what is being advocated for.
It's only extreme if you're just um offensively wealthy. So
he announced that he decided against running in a blog
post on his website us a letter to friends. I

(33:31):
love that website here always a letter to his friends,
uh friends, And he explained his reason for dropping out
was that extreme voices currently dominate the national dialogue, often
with a vitriol that crowds out and discourages thoughtful discussions. Yeah,
and he also claimed that he was representing the majority

(33:52):
because he only hangs out with other billionaires. Billionaires. They
hang out with other billionaires and at best a couple
of millionaires here and there. Friends. Connie uh nanny for
him for a while, and she said he was a
nice guy. I think, I think they have no idea.
They have no idea why anyone thinks there's anything like

(34:12):
they know maybe there might be something wrong, but they
certainly don't understand why there's an emergency. They're like, why
is it freaking out? I don't what do you mean?
I just don't see it. I don't see it. I
honestly don't see that. I understand that we can improve
things a little bit. I don't know anyone who's died.
And then there's the right and then there's the rest
of the country that doesn't have enough money for a

(34:33):
four dollar emergency, which is that, you know, like fact,
and you know that's just the difference. I mean, I
understand when I hang out with rich people, man, it
feels safe. It really it does. It's like, if you
have enough money, you can make life seem like it
doesn't need any improving at all. And the other thing is,

(34:54):
here's the flip side that I just made me think
of uh tell the centrists don't know who I'm saying this,
No tell, but somebody, someone go tell esp good, We'll
tell them this. That the people got shot in that
that fucking idiot who drove around shooting everybody in just
the other day with the kid, the baby that got

(35:18):
shot in the face, right has a go fund me
to take care of its medical bills, and another person
who got shot, and it has two of the people
who at least two of the people who got shot
have go fund means to pay their medical bills. I mean,
that's just all. Yeah, it's all like basically poor people
take care well at the top, they like, well, I

(35:39):
don't I mean, there's go fundies are happening. Yeah, so
for it. If that doesn't make a person not want
to have a reason debate or whatever centrists think they
want to have, like, oh, let's have a reason debate.
Are you kidding me? Take care of my They'll be like, oh, well,
that's something that has to do with healthcare reform and
not not really sort of a reflecting the larger issue
here and then the country. But you know what I mean,
there's only some weird dumb shits. Sure they'll say, I

(36:02):
don't know what. Well, you know, good riddance of Mr Schulze.
He got, he got the feedback he deserved. He should
give everybody free latte. He'd probably be in the race.
We talked about this last year, but it happened again
that they released the poll where they ask ex pats
who live in other countries, like how they rate the
country they're living in based on just all all the

(36:25):
things that would make you want to live in a
place in America has gone from like the teens during
the Obama administration down to uh, you know, the forties
out of like sixty countries based on number one, healthcare
costs and uh, I I don't know, I don't know
general from age and yeah, and and the instability of

(36:47):
the political uh you know, politics in the country make
it a scary place to live. Wait, where, what's the thing?
It's a it's a the United States is is is
poorly rated as far as places to live. Would have
thought we spent all that money terrorizing people in other
countries for them to move here to only think it sucks. Right, Yeah, yeah,

(37:10):
that's my mom always like, but why does my mom
has been hypnotized by Fox News and so if you
say anything like that to her, she's like, well, then
why does everybody want to come here? In resources? People
who are living in a really bad situation and really
close by countries want to come here. Yeah, that's the thing,

(37:31):
is just like the constant. It's not everybody doesn't want
to come here, right, and it's getting It's like, imagine
if your if your house is like fire bombing the
other houses in your neighborhood. You're throwing firebombs in your house,
Like why are people why do they think it's safe
here because you're doing all the damage from here. So
if at least you live there in oil, well in
my house and I had believe and come somewhere else. Economically, like,

(37:58):
the economy has been the one kind of bright spot
of the Trump administration in terms of what the mainstream
narrative is uh and just people's expectations, what how he's
gonna run for president again? And now the manufacturing sector
has slowed down for the first time in three years,

(38:18):
which is leading more economists to start thinking that a
recession is going to be hitting within within the next
two years. And you don't even have that. So it's
like it's just really odd because from the beginnings like well,
the economy, the economy, the economy, and now that that's dwindling,
it's like, okay, what are you doing because everything, all
of your actions are only exacerbating this problem, Like just

(38:42):
hitting the fucking pedal to the metal to go head
on into the fucking trade wars with China. Everyone's like,
that is not going Having these two economies fistfight in
the street like makes everyone a loser. Um. And they're
also saying like, you know, he looks you look at
the farmers. They're all pissed. I think there was an
association of farmers in like Iowa or Nebraska who are

(39:03):
basically saying, like, virtually all of our markets have evaporated
because of all this, all these terrible economic policy. And
when it comes to people like who used to be
in the room, you know, like obviously we used to
talk about the quote adults in the room, remember like
a year and a half ago, And we're like, well,
there are at least there's these people who then leave
and then don't want to raise their voices and actually
tell the truth. They're like, well, you know, well, hapen

(39:25):
to that New York Times guy or a woman who's
gonna save everybody. Remember the anonymous editorial whatever. Mr or
Mrs Xes have no idea how much ship we're stopping
from happening, right, Yeah, that's what that what that by
taking papers off his desk rather than just using what

(39:47):
you've seen to get him out. Times doesn't talk much
about that person no more. What's funny is that when
they talked to former you know, White House officials, who
obviously are they love anonymity, they say, frankly, I don't.
When they talk about his econ atomic policies, they say, Frankly,
I don't think he understands any of this. The manufacturing
slow down, the lack of corporate investment, what's happening to confidence.
All of this was totally predictable based on what he's done.

(40:09):
But he sees it as a political advantage that he
can tell people he got tough on China and needs
to finish the job. And they said, um. They go
on to say, quote the sad realities. In the first
thousand days of his presidency, he managed to get rid
of everybody who would tell him the truth or anything
he didn't want to hear. We saw that sort of
coming so now we're at this point where only people
are like, yeah, maybe that could work if you just
keep you know, fucking swinging on China and seeing what happens,

(40:30):
because you know they will hit back. Everything is wildly dysfunctional,
like even in how the different people who work for
him deal with each other, Like John Bolton. I mean,
this is a good thing that this has happened, but
John Bolton has been completely frozen out from the decision
making chain because Trump doesn't want to go to war,
which thank god, uh and Bolton almost took him to

(40:52):
war and all the Iran ship that happened earlier this year,
and so Trump basically took away of his power. And
also the other thing is Bolton and his staff basically
if they don't get what they want, they just leak
to the media, right, so they don't get any information anymore.
And when they ask for it, people will force them

(41:15):
to read it in front of them, won't give them
the document, will just be like here's the document, but
you have to read it while I'm watching you. It's
like when you're in school and someone brings a cool toy.
You're like, oh, can I play with it? Like, look
with your eyes. You catch this um because you have
dirty ass hands that you'll look up my transform. I mean,
I think I do wonder if the sharpie thing is

(41:38):
going to be just in terms of his public approval,
because it's such a I was about to mention that
it's so undeniable that he like it underlines all the
things that even if you're a supporter of him, you
suspect might be getting in the way of him doing
a good job. It's the craziest thing I've ever if anyone,

(42:01):
anyone ever said that a president would do that, and
and and that there would be a mind controlled bunch
of idiots on the right that would let that slide
when they wouldn't let Obama's tan suit slide. I mean
a man held up he doctored a weather map, but
not even doctor. He didn't. He couldn't have someone also photoshop. Yeah,

(42:23):
he couldn't have someone like he doesn't have an office.
He's the president United States, Like like, make this circle
bigger without me having to know. He doesn't care, and
he keeps he kept last at the end of last week,
he kept doubling down on it, like as Hurricane Dooran is,
you know, was battering the Carolinas. He's having press conferences
where he's like bringing up Alabama again, right, and ask

(42:46):
him was like, hey, will you tell him that? Yeah?
He won't. He that's a funk. Your feelings thing I
don't understand at all, because they're like feelings. Trump is
the most feelings oriented man he is, So he's all
about his feelings. That's all he cares about is how
he feels. He'll do anything. Everything he does is motivated

(43:08):
by his feelings. I just think it's ironic in my
feelings challenge. That whole side is like fuck your feelings
or you know, facts or whatever incoherent acts, but unless
they contradict what him doctoring that weather map is the
definition of a man who's motivated primarily by his feelings,
not just motivated, but pathologically a slave to his feelings whatever.

(43:29):
In the funny thing, too, is like when now we
are we seeing you know, the economy, the economic forecasts
aren't that great? Uh? You know Jijing pain Like he's
probably laughing his ass off because he's like, guess what, dude,
I'm not looking at an election in November like you are, Like,
I'm forever God here, so I can do whatever I
can wait you out to the next person comes in,
I'll deal with them, So, like, what are you trying

(43:51):
to do? What's funny, though, is because of this now
certain states are helping Trump out by canceling their primaries
and caucuses so no one can challenge Almighty Leader Emperor Trump.
Uh So, South Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, UM and the Kansas
Republican parties are all preparing to basically just cut off
their primary or caucus processes just to be like, you

(44:14):
know what, dude, we don't need anyone to challenge him.
We're fully like just giving all of this power to Trump.
He's completely poisoned this entire party and you know, fu democracy. Yeah,
it's like canceling the when there's a bad movie in
them and they and they won't let the critics see
it before it comes out, right, Like that that's the mentality,

(44:36):
Like if we don't you can say anything until they
all realize we'll trick people into thinking he's popular. We
can't let the cat out of the bag. Like you know,
it's like if we have a primary, then someone might
the numbers might not look good for him, and then
we just won't have a primary. And then everybody will
think he's like he probably wouldn't lose, but he it
might be a historically like fraud primary. Know, like people

(45:01):
there's a surprising amount of support for a challenger. Uh yeah,
they don't want that to be. They don't want that
to be. And also if there is a real actual
primary challenge that typically we can see incumbent going into
the actual election if they get through a primary challenge,
but they want to make sure they have to handle
him with kid glove. I think since he's gotten into
the sharpy business, though, that he should double down. He's

(45:21):
he's pretty good about doubling down too, just like just
start doing it to everything, just holding up like, yeah,
I didn't lose that primary because I turned the six
into an eight and like nobody, I mean into the three.
He's just gonna win by sharpie. All Right, we're gonna
take another quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.

(45:52):
And one kind of dark news bulletin from the end
of last week is that mac Miller's dealers arrested the
person who dealt him the drugs that ended up killing him,
and specifically, the thing that they focused on was that
the drug that killed him. Was laced with cheap and
potent fentanyl, which is a synthetic opioid that is fifty

(46:17):
times as powerful as heroin. Uh. And this is it's
also what killed Prince. It's killing a lot of people
right now, and fentanyl overdoses are actually on the rise
in America's yeah and yeah, So there's a huge industry
in China that's outsourcing this. There's actually a new book

(46:38):
out called Fentanyl Ink by Ben Westhoff. He was interviewed
on Fresh Air this weekend. Uh. It looks at the
industry and how like China is Basically, China has problems
with certain drugs, but fentinel is not one of them,
so they're just still you know, going full board manufacturing
it and people can get it on the dark web.

(47:01):
People can get it just through shipments, through the means
that drug dealers normally get things into the country. But
he's pointing out that the Trump administration is trying to
negotiate with she to try and get it so that
they stop shipping the drug in, but they're still attacking
it on the supply side. They're not doing anything to

(47:22):
make it people less likely to die from it. And
um west Off was pointing out that there are things
like testing kits that people give out at like festivals
and raves that yeah, that detect fentanyl, and they found
that this actively like prevents people from taking drugs that
kill them and yeah, and it's it seems like a

(47:46):
pretty kind of straightforward solution, and there the US just
won't support it because instead of treating drug users like criminals,
it treats them as something that exists. Um. And he
was pointing out that, you know, killing Pablo Escobar and
arresting El Chapo have done nothing to even make a

(48:07):
dent in the flow of you know, cocaine into America
and up Americans noses like, people will keep using the drug.
It's just that that's never worked for America, the kind
of trying to attack it from the supply side. Right. So, yeah, man,
when I was into drugs, I bet I bet you know,

(48:28):
if someone gave me a drug and even if I
tested it and it said ventinel, I would be like, well,
how much ventinyls them? Right? I can still take it? Yeah, exactly.
At a certain point, when you don't give support to
drug users or try and like solve that issue, like, well,
just this is the only pill I got. I gotta
take it. Yeah. It's like, well, if there's no fentinyl,
then they'll all be okay, right, It's like no notes

(48:49):
and addiction is very serious and manifest in so many
different ways. If it's not one thing would be the
other thing. I'm so grateful that I never got into
pills because it just hadn't really been invented when of
thse uh in the eighties. I mean there was, I
mean there were pills, but not like I would have.
I mean, people die all the time by accident now
doing things that I used to do that were just

(49:11):
not you couldn't die. You couldn't die that way because
there was It's just a horrible thing, like there weren't
just like this brushing roulette of certain pills in the
mix that are have a thing that will kill you
because you're a kid man, like when you're a teenager
do whatever you don't someone put in like yeah is
everyone doing it? Yeah? Yeah, it will make me popular.

(49:32):
Give me that thing, right, it's got pential in it?
How much? Let me see that fu it. I'm just
gonna take it, yeah exactly. Yeah, It's like it doesn't
even matter it's like, just give me the pill. Well,
speaking of kids, these days, Facebook Facebook dating is here,
said Facebook is Facebook Facebook Now nobody accept old people.

(49:55):
A lot of people still are I guess I mean
Facebook dating. When I saw this, I was like, man,
I was Facebook dating when Facebook didn't have Facebook dating,
because I was just shooting my shot from deep space
on messages being Hi, I know this person, I think
you are attractive. I love you, by the way, and

(50:16):
it's like they're like, um, what college do you go to?
Because back then you need a college. Anyway, I'm fifty,
so apparently this news. So it's a little bit different.
You know, you can integrate it with Instagram, etcetera. But
the biggest thing is for people who are eighteen years
and older, you can create a profile, a dating profile,

(50:36):
and you opt into this thing and it's completely different
than your Facebook profile and it doesn't have to do
with like swiping or anything like that. So what it'll
do is it'll suggest possible mates based on preferences, interests,
and other things you do on Facebook. So in a way,
it's already like analyzing all your ship through the Facebook.
It's like matchmaking like that. In a way, like look,

(50:58):
we know a creepy amount that you guys. It's like,
we both know you're like like this weird message board
of people picking their notes. So there's a bunch of
ships that unfortunately we can predict about you. But one
of those things happens to be who your soul made is, so, uh, yeah,
might as well let us help you with that. Yeah,
And it's like, so you don't have to, like, no

(51:19):
one has to reach out first. Like, if there's someone
that shows up and you like them, you can comment
directly on their profile or tap on the like button
to let them know. And if you're interested, you are right, Like,
if you aren't interested, you can just pass. But what's
interesting interesting is that this sounds good to me. If
you aren't what it first, we'll also do it. Will
never suggest someone that you are already friends with on

(51:39):
your regular Facebook profile to avoid any like really awkward stuff. However,
if you are feeling somebody who you're friends with, you
can there's a secret crush function where you can add
someone to your secret crush and if they add you,
it'll be like, yes, what secret crush confirmed? Which Facebook

(52:00):
into sex? How many secret crushes I had in college?
On Facebook. All right, but here, let me show you how.
Let me show you how they game this ship. Anyone
would do this right the second this exists. You put
all of your friends in there and see which ones
have a secret crush on you. What you mean just

(52:21):
for your own ego? Yeah, well just to like find
out who has a crush on you. Well, then what
do you do? Jack win? Inevitably we match and it's like, oh,
I just feel like then, yeah, I guess it would
be awkward, but that that is one way that you
could easily figure like figure it out. Just be like,
oh sorry, I like put everybody in there by accident,

(52:44):
But why do you want to figure that out? When
you has a secret crush on you? Is sixth grade?
I mean in my mind, if you're dating you would
almost be like, you know, I actually would really be
interested in dating this person. Let's see what happens versus like,
who got a secret crush on me? Oh? Come on, though, man,
people will do it sex. That's like, that means sex.

(53:07):
That's he who wants everybody wants a little little announcement
that someone wants to have sex with him. Right, So
is this that anything to do with what are they
gonna do with the poke function, then I don't think.
I think that's for a while. No, No, my dad.
My dad accidentally pokes and waves at people all the time. Yeah,
like when someone will be like, your dad just waved

(53:28):
at me, like I'm so sorry. But he doesn't know
that he did it, though he puts. He posts pictures
of himself upside down on Instagram and his underwear and stuff.
He has no idea what's happening. Is the camera upside
down or is he I don't know. I don't know.
It's it's just I don't know. He sends pictures of
himself like staring into devices, you know what I mean,
Like he's just like looking at somehow it ends up

(53:49):
on his Instagram. It's he has it's any waves. Like
my friend always is like your dad waved at me again,
and I'm like stop stop telling me all Well. The
other interesting thing about this too is because it knows
so much about you, it does help actually like connect
people on your interests because you can opt into events
or groups and see people with similar interests already gonna
be like, oh ship you like cold brew and indie music.

(54:10):
If I could meet a woman who wanted to sit
and watch people metal detect with me. Oh my god,
that's what I'm saying. Look, man, yeah, just somebody, man,
somebody and you look and I don't care if it's
all true or not. You know what comes up on here,
don't no one cares. But yeah, I think that's you know, God,

(54:30):
that would be amazing. I have some research. I'm not
even aspiring if I could. My dreams aren't even that big.
Like I want to meet somebody I love, but I'm
not at all thinking that they would like to watch
metal Detecting. Well it looks now, you can, but imagine
that world. Imagine that when I started putting that secret
crush button on their secret crush. I wanted mud mud mark,

(54:51):
I'll get married in the mud. Are you are your
most successful? Like? Do you think that having shared interests
makes relationship more likely? Just it depends, yo, Because I
used to be the egomaniac who just sucked myself. You know,
like people who were just like me, who were like, okay,
you weed, you watched Breaking Bad, Yeah, you like hip

(55:14):
hop or whatever, like very superficial interests. I'm like, that's
a person who is a match for me, not like
are they generous? Kind? Supported? Hill great when this ship
goes DA ready, like I think that's I think that's
a teacher. Also also shout out to my friend Nick

(55:37):
who sent an a K that was too late about
Kirsten Jiller brand to the tune up here is something
you can't understand that was still there but yeah there
but now like right, her Majesty, we have very We
don't have the same things in common that I do
with past relationships, and it's by far the most healthy,
beneficial relationship I've ever had. I have I don't don't

(56:00):
have a ton of shared interests with my wife, but
we get along really well. Yeah, I mean she might
even you know, her Madesty is not really particularly interested
in me, but it all works and his deep laugh
But um yeah, Facebook dating, but I think it is.
It is beneficial, right because a lot of the times

(56:20):
I've met people like at a concert or something and
like it, they have been interesting people I have more
in common and like. They might not have the same
sort of upfront interests, but hey, you never know. I
think the only things that I've liked on Facebook are
like Outcast and the Walkman. Probably it's like if you

(56:43):
like Arsenal, the Virginia Beach Rap duo, clips and fucking vapes.
Holler at that's that doesn't Yeah, like it's funny because
that's the way they put together called its roommates. My
freshman year roommate, we actually figured out because we were

(57:06):
we did not get along, and we finally did. But
I mean we we figured out why they put us together,
and it was because we both put we like the Cult,
the band the Cult. But but the thing is, all
the other bands I put were also like hard rock bands.
But he liked almost all dance music except he liked
one Cult songs. He liked very Sanctuary, which is kind

(57:29):
of like dance. So we got to put together from
that and we were He got up early for class
and sat next to my bed and stuff, like sat
in a chair just waiting for time to class to start,
like next to my bed, like just sitting just sitting
in a chair. He get up early, get dressed, and
then he'd be like, oh, should I have twenty minutes
still my nine thirty and he would sit doing nothing

(57:50):
because there's no such things as cell phones. We just
sat in a chair next to my bed, which is
somehow I can you can sense that ship and it
woke me up and I would just be like, look
out of God. Yeah. I talk about this all the time.
I drew ian Asbury while you were sleeping. I broke
him down. That's actually turned him into an alcoholic. I
broke him down and turned him into an alcoholic, and
now he's got. I did that to a lot of people.

(58:12):
I was like, are you sure you want to go
to class? You don't want to do a big fat line?
Is he in recovery? Now? I don't know. I don't.
Got sucked up a lot of people, and that's why
I apologize. I apologize to people from my previous life
as a as a advocate. I was seriously like, there's
only one. I mean, I was full on Charles Bokowski hypnotized,
just like do it, Drake. If you don't, A day

(58:33):
without a buzz is a day that never was Jesus Christ.
I was a nightmare. Now I'm like, hey, guess what
I was wrong. It turns out, man, I was way off.
Check out cold brew and pops. At least the heart
break and rehab and bankruptcy. I talked about this all
the time, but my sister once sat on a flight
to China from the United States, next to somebody who

(58:55):
didn't read a book, didn't watch anything, just looked at
the chair in front of them, wide awake the whole time. Yeah,
that ship is frightening. Is that? I'm curious if that's
someone who is has the greatest imagination of all time,
is some kind of a beautiful mind, or as an
automaton who, as we think, is just powering down. I
think just powering down based on having met the person.

(59:16):
I don't think my roommate Charlie had a beautiful mind.
I mean he was a regular yeah, you know him,
he was. He was a decent guy. But I don't
think he was thinking about anything in that chair, or
maybe about something like I hate my dad or something
right over and over like a low hum Uh miles,

(59:41):
let's talk about the true father of toxic masculinity. Yes, yeah,
I mean, if you really think about it, like really
the examples we were learning from those characters. I never
watched it. It's one of the greatest TV shows of
all time. Come fight me. I love the show. I've
heard that. I've heard it's good. What are you writing?
What are you writing out? When Anna starts writing, Yeah,

(01:00:03):
to eat women out means you're gay, That's right, Vita.
I mean Junior did not want anyone to know that
he was going down on his That is, that is
hilarious and like meant to be hilarious, like as a characteristic.
But I'm sure there are people who that's true. Though.
Do you see Tony this week? That ship is hilarious, man.

(01:00:25):
Um So look, there is a fucking thing called Sopranos
Con happening in New Jersey and Socacus in November, and
it is basically the way they described this is in
a nutshell, this is Sopranos meets Comic Con. But Sopranos
is much more than Vendor's pictures and autograph. The pitch
doesn't get me right there because I'm like, okay, that's
just like you could say the same thing about like

(01:00:47):
any TV show. But the thing about the Sopranos is
you can get any of those people to appear. What
do you mean? Like the cast is just well loaded
with people who of course have gone on to be
former cast members of the Sopranos and very little else.
It's a who's who of an interesting The thing though,

(01:01:09):
it's great because it's it's meant to be like, uh
street festival themed, So the Feast of Saint elzi Are
and you're gonna have there's gonna be food, drink, music, comedy,
art galleries. But the people they got to go out there.
I mean, if you actually like sopranos, it's great because look,
it's not going to be any of the main characters. Okay,

(01:01:30):
don't expect Edi Falco to show up or Michael Imperioli
or dream Mateo, but Dominic Chienese Corrado junior soprano, Tony Serrico,
Polly Walnuts, Federico Castelluccio, a k A Furio Junta. Okay,
there's gonna be sal Big Pussy will be there, Johnny Sack,
Richie a Priele, Charmaine Buco, no Artie Buco, Charmaine, Patsy

(01:01:56):
Parissi who also played his brother, uh, and then like
even the yeah, agent Agent Harris will be there. And
but the thing that basically snailed my ticket to is
that Goldie, the horse that played Pio my will be
making an appearance. Damn. So look if any of their
Z gang members who lived out near the meadowlands uh

(01:02:17):
and want to give me a place to stay, saccas
New Jersey hit me up. Actually not really, that sounds like, well, no,
you know what, I love people. I like people from Jersey. No, man,
Jersey in the valley we have of great connection. There's
plenty of great just saying out by the meadow lands,
that's what's out there? What is that? What's in the
medal man marsh? Hell yeah, man, I love that kind

(01:02:40):
of place in the medal lands of the arena. Yeah,
just you guys, you want to hear what's in the
place where the New York Nets used to play? Let
me know when there's like you know, that sounds like
a lot of fun. Those are the kind of things
I never go to, like a con you know, like whatever,
do you like something enough? Like mud thing? I was

(01:03:01):
about to say, if there was like a Oak Island
miss uh, curse of Oak Island, Like if I got
to meet rick lea Gina, that'd be pretty cool, right,
there's gotta be a reality show con right, like that
invites all the reality they have. But I'm like mostly
like that's the kind of thing I make fun of
her I think is dumb. But I bet it's a blast. Yeah,
I bet it's super fun. When I searched Curse of

(01:03:23):
Oak Island fan festival, the first thing that came out
they just they have merch now, so I think it's
gonna take some time. Oh yeah, they're still in the hunt. Yeah,
they're still hunting. I guess, so they shouldn't probably beating
they when they have a festival, they better have a
treasure chest in a plexiglass box for us to look at.
What do you think is in there? Well, they think

(01:03:43):
everything from the Holy Grail probably, what do you mean
everything from I've I've always think they think they think
they think Shakespeare's original manuscripts probably in Canada, and they probably.
It's just it's so funny because they they have they

(01:04:04):
have like some evidence that the Knights Templar have been
on that island, but it's like kind of you know,
it's pretty good evidence, but it's not that good. Um,
but you know, they're pretty convinced ish that the Knights
Templar went there and may have hidden whatever nights everything
like they're just like hoping for I think they'd settle
at this point for five dollars in cash. I mean,

(01:04:27):
they're looking at anything like a blockbuster to put in
the return on investment. But yeah, they do have high
hopes for it because they think the Knights Templar came
to that island and hid their ship when they when
they when they were persecuted. They were persecuted. But they
have found they found old Spanish coins from and like

(01:04:51):
they found coins from the six hundreds there. That's about
all they found, like two coins. They haven't found a
whole lot of stuff. They found one piece of wood
that they think is from a ship. I like this
pitch where they're going to like a wealthy person who's
like philanthropic into archaeological digs and it's like, I don't know, man,
it's like all kinds of ship. Uh, there are two
coins in there, man. Look everything from the Ark of

(01:05:12):
the Covenant to the tablets Moses brought down, it could
all be in the dollars will give you the Holy Grail?
Yeah literally. So yeah, I really hope that they find
but they have not. They it's a really interesting story
and it'd be weird for them to booby trap and
like put all that trouble into hiding something that didn't

(01:05:33):
know it is. And they've found some first, I think
I'm the first six seasons where I really they found
pretty much nothing, and then they started to they started
to find some interesting stuff. They found the slipway, which
is the thing that the boat would roll up on
or the cargo cargo from a boat would roll up
onto the shore on like which is they've dated carbon

(01:05:53):
dated to like the sixteen hundreds. So I mean they've
they found some stuff that leads, some leads where that
there's something hidden there. But so they hooked you in
with the six seasons where they found nothing, and then
season seven, I feel like they're going to find something,
right And I found that the History Channel, the History
Channel ordered double the episodes they normally do for the

(01:06:15):
next season. Something I think something. I actually started to
think that that that there may be something there. But
but anyway, that's the gateway from Stranger Things. They think
that it's something to do with persecuted somebody or others
coming over to Nova Scotia burying something and going back
to Europe. I know we have Nova Scotia is night Gang,
So let us know what are the locals thing Nova Scotia.

(01:06:38):
Oh my gosh, I Ken Carter, Ken Carter, the guy
who jumped was trying to jump the Lincoln Continental. Mind
that was from Nova Scotia. Yeah, it's from morris Morrisburg, Morrisburg, Ontario,
which is like right by Nova Scotia or something. Yeah,
or as we call it, No scoche uh. In the

(01:07:01):
beginning of that documentary, the beginning of the documentary Devil
at Your Heels is him and another guy in a
Nova Scotia junkyard Um getting a car ready for a jump,
and and and Kennon is saying that there's no way
this car I'll do a world record because the salt
air has sucked it up. He's like, the salt air
has gotten into this. There's no way it'll do a record.
But you know, we'll have to do what we have to.

(01:07:22):
You know, you can't get car. It's hard to get
good cars out here in Nova Scotia, he said. As
time goes by, people are holding onto their cars more.
It sounds like something that would make a car not run.
That's the kind of ship that love one of the like.
Right in the beginning, he says, I can't even gas
tanks half filled with salt water. Maybe it won't maybe
it won't reach Because it's hard to get good car.

(01:07:45):
He has so many little quotable quotes, like he's like
it's harder to get cars now. People are holding onto
him more than they used to, which I don't think
it's true love it Uh, Chris, it's been a pleasure
as having you. Where can people find you? You can
find me on Instagram, Chris underscore Crofton where I put

poetry lately. I've been doing a lot of poetry, which
is pretty fun. I'm writing these absurd poems and and
now I'm starting to take myself seriously. Like people are

(01:08:27):
like those are good, and now I'm like, oh ship,
I know I'm a poet's successful musician lyricists. Of course
you forgot about that. Oh yeah, go check out my record.
I'm recording a new one right now. Uh, and go
check out my record Hello It's me on on Spotify.

(01:08:48):
Is that named after the Todd Ruth ground song? I
think I've asked it is a reference to that. It's
like a soft rock record, and I like that run
Gren song and so I thought I want myself. How
shameless that song is where he's just he's like, sorry,
like I don't think we should be together, but I
still think we should sleep together. Toxic masculinity all the way,

(01:09:09):
like the most seventies toxic masculinity where he's pulling off
being emo about not wanting to yeah, just wanting to fuck.
