Appreciate you listening. How's your day going, You're good. Did
your team get into the college football playoff?

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Mine did?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
No, Just a big dork and a big fan of
a school I didn't go to. But if the Akron
Zips ever get in there, or the Georgia Southern Eagles
or the North Georgia Eagles, I don't know what to
I went to so many colleges. I was in college
for a long time because I'm stupid. But I hope
you're having a good time. I hope you're having a

(00:52):
good day, great week.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
A great week. Hope you're having it.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Because it's getting darker, it's getting colder, seasonal depression is
setting in. Are you said, do you need a hug?
Are you enjoying time with loved ones? Are you looking
outside and you're seeing the coldness, the bitterness, and you're
realizing another year past. You didn't hit your New Year's
resolution goals? Did you huh? Did you get better this year?

Speaker 1 (01:20):
No? No, you didn't. You got older. You're gonna die soon.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
I'm kidding. It's fine. Look especially like if you're listening
to this and you're you know, you're in your thirties,
you're in your early thirties, mid thirties, whatever, everybody starts
freaking out about getting olderly, Yeah, they.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Have more gray hairs on my face with.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
It, damn. Go for a jog, do some pushups. Life's
gonna be long. Buckle up. We got a lot more
tuesdays left. Okay, you're only gonna have more bills to pay,
so many more tuesdays, So quit your bitching.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Do some push ups, go for a jog. You're young.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
It's just like we start feeling older, you know, because
of social media. We're on it all the time. I
say we because I like to make myself feel better
and act like you guys are also staring at your
phones all day long. That's what makes you feel because
social media, all you do is see people that kind
of look the same age as you being successful, and

(02:25):
you're sitting around looking outside, going.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Well, I was getting a rent of five K this year,
but I didn't do it.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
And then you get on Instagram and you see somebody
hopping in a G six and you're like, I'm getting
all the times pass me by, or you just get
on Twitter and you realize that children are on there.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I keep bringing this up, but I saw this tweet
a few weeks ago. Piss me off.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
It said, man after twenty three life just goes downhill.
Three hundred thousand wakes. Children are on the internet. So
you know, if you get off social media, you don't
do that as much. Kind of focus on you go
for a jog, do some pushups. You won't feel as
old because the real world doesn't make you feel super

(03:09):
old all the time, but every once in a while
it'll sneak up on you and it'll make you feel
super super old. Me and Ames were going to the
bars at a reasonable thirty year old time Friday, seven fifteen. Okay,
you get in, you go get your drink, you feel

(03:31):
like you had a night out. You go the fuck
home before all the riff or half happens. Okay, that's
how you go to the bars at thirty None of this.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Hey dude, you want a pregame in my house ten
o'clock and they were going out, staying out till ten.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Then do you have cocaine? Because that's the only way
I'm staying out there. No, you go to the bars
at seven o'clock, you have a drink or two, not
too much to where you'll get heartburn when you go
to sleep that night.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
It just hitting well, too close to homemames. You go out,
you have a few drinks, and you get back home.
You're home by like nine.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
You wake up the next morning, Saturday feels beautiful. Okay,
but we're out seven fifteen.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Went to the bar.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
We were leaving this bar because you know, the best
part about going out sometimes is just walking into one
bar and going this place sucks.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
You want to go to another place. So we were
doing that.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
We walked in and we looked around and were like, nah,
this place is fire pits.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Suck.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Let's go find another fire pit that's cooler. So we're
walking out and there's there's these group of like, I
don't know, twenty one year olds. I would have checked
their IDs. They looked very young, and some they were
like huddled up in a circle. It was like three
dudes a couple of girls. So the guys were doing
that thing where they were trying to impress the girls,
like oh yeah, let me be funnier, maybe I'll get

(04:52):
some pussy when I go home to night, you're out
right dad. So this one dude goes, oh, what's up, Doc,
and no, but he laughed, and one of his friends goes, well,
what's that. What's up, doc, I'm not a doctor, and
he goes, no, it's it's bugs Bunny and he goes,
I don't know who that is and the guy goes, yeah,

(05:13):
I mean either. Because he didn't have the backbone to
stand up for himself. That's how I know he was
only twenty one. He was scared of getting ostracized. But
I had that moment where real life jumped out at
me and made me realize that I was old. How
the fuck do you not know who bugs Bunny is?
I almost I almost stopped. I had to like grab
Ames's arm and just like hold it because I almost go,

(05:36):
you don't know who bugs Bunny is?

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Let me pull up some YouTube clips. Yeah, watch up, doc.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
I almost did it, but I stopped myself because I've
seen that progressive commercial too much.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
How did not become your parents? And it's like, no, we.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Actually don't walk up to the young children who were
having fun and explain to them who Nineteen thirties cartoon
care where we don't do that.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Oh you know who bugs bunny is? Yeah? Hell yeah unk.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
I've gotten called unk more in the last year. Not
a fan of that. What it keeps happening. It's crazy.
I'm just saying, you will feel less and less old
the less you were on social media. You'll just you'll
feel like however healthy you are. You know, if you're healthy,
you'll feel young. If you're sitting around eating a whole

(06:29):
family sized bag of chips and chocolate chips, you'll feel
like a fat sag of shit.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
You'll feel old. Amy actually yelled.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
At me the other day for eating a family size
bag of chips, like, looked at me. She's working from home,
she has a job. I'm unemployed playing video games eating
a family sized bag of chips, and she looked at me.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
It was just like, could you call me a fat fuck?
With a look?

Speaker 3 (06:53):
I think she did. It was crazy, But oh man,
just go for a jog. You can still with some
of your New Year's resolutions. I know it's getting cold,
it's getting harder, but that's what happens when you procrastinate. Okay,
all right, we got to talk about the uh we
I'm just talking at you.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
We have to talk about we don't have to talk
about shit.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'm gonna talk about the biggest news story that's been
going on, the uh United Healthcare CEO shooter was on
the lose. That was a crazy story because, first of all,
you just woke up one day and there was murder
that happened on social media. You're just like, oh, yep,
somebody got shot. I haven't even had a cup of
coffe yet, but that's on UH, that's on my twitter feed.

(07:37):
Broad Day White, like early in the morning, Stude gets killed,
had a silencer, had suppressing rounds. He had shit written
on the bullets. Why deny, reclaim, simplify or well, I don't.
I don't remember what it was. I don't read too much.
And then the shooter had a backpack on him. He
was getting away and he the police found his backpack

(07:59):
and the backpack had monopoly money in it, which was
like a take it capitalism kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Guy was sending a message.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
And everybody when it first happened, was like, this is
a hired assassin, This is a hired gun that was professional.
And I was like, yeah, it kind of looked professional,
but also I don't think this guy was like fleeing
to Uzbekistan. I don't think he was in the Russian mob.
That guy struck me as somebody who had been training,
like a chronically online person, but somebody who knew how

(08:31):
to access the dark web, like an old Reddit user,
not one of the new Reddit users. It's like, hey,
my girlfriend's parents are mean to me. I mean, I
have a pill addiction and I max out my girl's
credit card all the time, but I don't know why
they hate me. That's a motherfucker that had the Anarchist
Cookbook since fifth grade. That killed that CEO, right, That's

(08:53):
what I'm thinking. I'm not saying he's a good guy
because murder's bad. I just I don't. I don't think
he was a hired gun from you know, some armpitt
in Eastern Europe.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Like his grandma got denied cancer treatment when he was
like eleven, and she died, and he was like, oh
avenge you, nana. I'm saying he watched a lot of anime.
That's That's what I'm saying. But they like they kept
identifying different people, or like they had three different pictures.
They even had like a lookalike contest for the killer,
which was weird, but like the news kept posting pictures

(09:29):
of who they thought the guy was and it looked
like three different people to me, And I was thinking
the whole time, that's my new retirement plan. Like the
guy who got falsely accused of bombing the Olympics, he
got half a mill. You get a lot more for
that now, So that's my new retirement plan. I get

(09:49):
mistaken for a killer or a domestic terrorist, and I'm
white and bald, so I just need a January sixer
to blow up one of bezos yachts or something and boom.
I don't have to do anything.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
I think. I think that works.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
At first, I didn't like they They they reported a
few days ago that they caught the guy, and at first, like,
I didn't believe it because it was so stupid. Like
the first thing that came out was they caught him
at McDonald's and he had a fake ID. It's like, bro,
what are you using a ID for? At McDonald's going

(10:27):
to get a mc chicken? And you pull your ID
out and the guy's like, sure you don't need that, No, no, no,
look at my ID. It seemed like a conspiracy theory.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Hey do you have a job?

Speaker 3 (10:37):
No, let me put my tenfoil hat on for a second.
But I didn't think they caught the guy. Turns out
they got a guy. Well, what's his name, Luigi Mangione.
Luigi Mangione, I don't even know how to say this
dude's name. He's apparently like a software engineer or something,

(11:01):
and apparently data engineer.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
My bad Ames's LinkedIn.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Algorithm was blowing up, Like who would have thought that
a data engineer could do something like this?

Speaker 1 (11:14):
It's crazy, And.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
I was thinking it was weird because like, this guy
goes through all this trouble, weaves all these clues right
stuff on the bullet and then weaves monopoly money in
his backpack like he was trying to make a point.
You're telling me this guy get gets caught by McDonald's
employee in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Like, no way.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
But then you start looking at some of the other
stuff they start bringing out, like apparently, like a year
or two ago, he had to have a back surgery
because there was something wrong in his back that wouldn't
let him work out, and it said he couldn't have
what was it was something like he couldn't have sex

(11:56):
without pain or something because his back hurts so bad.
So basically, this dude's life was over because they posted
like the one picture of him, and this dude was
just like jacked hiking or something. And then you see
the uh, the mugshot of him and he looks like
he's lost about one hundred and twenty pounds. So either

(12:16):
he just like he's twenty six years old. He was like,
my wife's over. They denied my claim for insurance, or
they mess up the surgery. I'm gonna go kill the
United Healthcare CEO, which is a crazy thing to do,
or they came up you need to take that. Ames

(12:41):
is working from home, so I'm doing my little hobby
for her phone rings. I gotta I gotta hit pause real quick. Yeah,
Ames is paying for the home studio right now. So
either this guy you know, had his claim denied after
the back surgery and was like I got to kill

(13:02):
the CEO, or the FBI, the CIA, the NYPD couldn't
actually find this guy, so they're like, we're gonna pick
this schizophrenic whose wife has fallen apart in the last year.
To make it seem like we'll find people real quick
so that you guys just can't kill CEOs. It's one

(13:25):
or the other. Which one is it? Probably probably the
twenty six year old who couldn't work out and couldn't
have sex anymore.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Was like, my wife's over, it's believable.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised either way, you
know what I mean. It's just one of those things,
like you get old. I'm just saying, like he was
looking outside and he was thinking, you know, it's getting cold,
cuffing seasons over.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
I have no one.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
I can't even go to the gym to get away
from the demons. And he was like, yeah, I'm just
gonna get a silencer. Don't do that. Just do some
push ups or find a support group or something.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Speaking of jail times, you know you can go to
jail for touching Amanite. I didn't know that, Ames, did
you know that? That's crazy? Ames told me that the
other day. That's how I found it. But let me
look up jail time for touching manity. Let's see, you

(14:38):
can get two months in jail for just touching touching
amanity or five hundred bucks. I feel like you get
West jail time for beating your wife then touching Amanity.
But I'm just saying, the guy could have just gone
to Florida if you wanted to, you know, break some rules.
Pedimanity is emotional support mnity. I can't even say that word.

(15:01):
Manateee manity. Anyway, I'm just babbling. I hope you're doing good.
We're getting We're past Thanksgiving, we're into Christmas season. Gonna
be eating a bunch of terrible food. Not us though,
not us though. We're gonna be eating super healthy food

(15:23):
because Ames has apparently developed a gluten intolerance, which means
I have to We're gonna be eating just a bunch
of things that are sands gluten.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
I gotta be honest.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
I think if you have a gluten intolerance, that kind
of means your stomach's a little racist, you know what
I mean. Little food is everything else. It's like, oh yeah, rice,
come on in, steak, yeah, come on in. The pasta
shows up.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Eh gonna come in, and my name's Louis Amanjenani and
they're like whoa, whoa, whoa, get the fuck out of here, buddy,
You agree pasta Like whoa?

Speaker 1 (16:02):
What year is it? Buddy.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
All I'm saying is I think if you're gluten intolerant,
if you have Sweac's disease, you got a little racism.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
In your belly.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
You don't want them in there? Do you want to
flush them out and it'll come out like p out
of your butt. All right, let's get to let's get
to your headline of the week, and then I'll.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Let you guys get back to whatever you were doing.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Bizarre reason why McDonald's worker might not receive sixty thousand
dollars reward for identifying Luigi Mangioni. So there was obviously
a reward for any tips to find the United CEO killer,
But apparently the person at Mickey D's who identified him,

(16:55):
which I don't I don't know how they identified him.
They just saw a white dude with eyebrows that were crazy, like, yeah,
that dude looks Italian.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
But the article says, while while law enforcement agencies are
asking for the public's assistance and finding the shooter, not
just any tip that proves useful will be rewarded with
the sixty thousand dollars. A tip would have to not
only lead to the arrest of a suspect, but a
conviction as well.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
So this.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
McDonald's worker is, you know, just at Mickey D's hating
their life, thinking if I have to fry one more
Big Mac or chicken Big Mac, I'm gonna slap my
boss in the face. And Luigi Mangioni walks in and
they're thinking, I just got sixty thousand dollars, I can
quit this job. I can go invest in some haktua crypto.

(17:48):
This is gonna be a great day. And they can't
even get it because of the fine print. The fine
print in the reward money says it's got to be
a conviction. So if they convict this guy still, it
won't because right now I think they just charged him
with uh, he's still a suspect. He's not actually like

(18:14):
being charged with killing the United Healthcare CEO. He just
got some gun charges and some fake ID charges and
they're holding him right now trying to find out if
they get him on something else. So the McDonald's worker
that ratted him out isn't even going to get that
money regardless, because technically they didn't give a tip for

(18:34):
anything else.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
They just found him.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
And I gotta be honest if I am the head
of a federal agency offering money to people, and a
CEO just got murdered because he was wronging people for money.
I probably just give the McDonald's worker the sixty thousand dollars. Dude,

(18:58):
you could end the cycle right there.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (19:01):
I don't know, but anyway, I hope you have a
great rest of the week. It's gonna get cold if
you're in Northeast Ohio. Next Thursday, I'm gonna be at
the Funny Stop Comedy Club in Carga Falls co headlining.
It's gonna be a fun show, so make sure you're there.

(19:23):
That's the nineteenth would you say, Ames can't say Carga
Falls Call hell y.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
All right, you guys, have a good rest of your day.
Let's uh, let's park

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Money for money for money for money.

Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
