We dive into the magic of 80s movie weekends and how childhood freedom has changed over the decades. Homemade popcorn, classic films, and reminiscing about simpler times create the perfect nostalgic experience.
• The perfect 80s movie weekend starts with The Goonies and includes Poltergeist, E.T., and Ghostbusters
• Childhood in the 80s meant unlimited freedom to explore without parental supervision
• America's Most Wanted potentially sparked the rise of helicopter parenting
• Reality TV shows thrive by planting seeds of conflict without scripting specific drama
• Americans are drawn to sob stories and emotional content more than positive messages
• Corned beef and pastrami represent the ultimate comfort foods, especially around St. Patrick's Day
• We won $5,000 in a nationwide candy factory scavenger hunt during COVID

Everything was great.
Not crazy about the soft-shells, just because, like you said,
the breading wasn't quite asgood.
Honestly, you know I'm asoft-shell connoisseur.
Like the shells were, theyweren't hard, but they were like
.
I like it to just just so softand gentle like a baby's blanket
.
I like it to be like that.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
How many baby's blankets have you eaten in your
lifetime?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
They're soft.
I've licked quite a few, soweird, so weird.
You don't ever lick a blanketbecause it's soft.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
No, there's blankets, the fuzzy ones that used to
have the satin rim across thetop, like the satin.
Whatever border I did used tosuck on the satin.
Speaker 3 (03:56):

He's like, got his feet up likelady.
I've seen him like laying downon the couch.
There's one or like dan soder,who does has a small like couch
and he's like right next to hisguests.
And when I like certain peopleare like bigger on there, it's
(04:21):
like they're like right next tohim.
It's kind of yeah no, I haven'tno shane like he gets all he
it's not.
He just is like in his socks andhe'll be like literally laying
down on the couch while they'refilming like he's being, like
he's on a psych cat all the time.
I mean, he's totallycomfortable, and that's the
attitude that I'm taking now islike I don't care what I look
(04:42):
like, I want to be comfortable.
That way you get the bestversion of me.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I mean, I'm never comfortable, I'm uncomfortable
in my own skin.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I also love really holding my mic like this.
It's resting on my belly,that's how good it is.
Look at that.
It's resting on my belly,that's how it's perfect.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You're a crackhead, but I love you, love you.
Um, what else happened thispast week?
Oh, I did stand up for thesecond time yeah, second time it
was great, great, great.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
It was way better than your first time.
Your first time was impromptu,like you didn't even really know
you were gonna do it.
You had an idea.
You're like I might do it, butlike you didn't sit there.
This one you prepared for, youworked.
I mean practice, you practiced,you wrote, you like you did the
real deal.
I need to get that away from myface.
It's a comfortable thing, but Ilike it yeah, I like it close
(05:36):
to my face, but it's not goodfor me, it's not good for you.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
It gives you a radium no well, regardless of what it
gives you, the mics are reallygood.
So when I was in high school, Iwas in um.
It was called forensics, whichis weird.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, it is weird.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It's weird that it's called that, because what we
actually did was competitivepublic speaking right.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, when you get done this, don't let me forget
this Science teacher forensicsGo ahead.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Okay, so um one of the bits that I did, I I
competed in.
So I competed in comedy umperformance.
I competed in dramaticperformance.
I competed in radiobroadcasting, which I actually
won states in, but in my comedicperformance it was oh shit, who
(06:30):
was the lady on Saturday NightLive?
Lily Tomlin?
She was on Saturday Night Live,right?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
The little kid yeah.

So yeah, she was the little in the big chair oh my
gosh, she was so cute, but shedid.
She in the big chair, oh mygosh, she was so cute, but she
did.
She's a mindless Hollywoodliberal.
She had like a monologue thatshe did on Broadway and it was
how do you get to excuse me,ma'am, how do you get to
Broadway?
And she's like, and what I toldhim was practice oh yeah, I got
(07:00):
high scores for that, but itwas corny and stupid, but that
always stuck with me.
Just practice, practice,practice.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Now, did you so?
Did you play in a speech?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
In when I competed in high school.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, in forensics.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So when I did the drama and the comedic, they were
actually they were monologuesfrom plays and stuff, so I did
have to practice those.
But I was also on the um, oh, Iwant to say impromptu was the
name of the category, but youhad.
You had three minutes to likegive your stance on something,
(07:36):
but you, you got the subjectlike maybe 15 minutes, yeah, and
you had to prepare and read wasthe the word extemporaneous.
Yes, extemporaneous publicspeaking yes, you're so right.
That was the category that Ilike to compete in.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Extemporaneous.
Here's our weekly visitor.
Here she is.
Say hi, say hi, mom.
Speaker 2 (07:57):

Extemporaneous speaking yeah, I did that.
You had 15 minutes.
You know, I was a big publicspeaker back in the day, buddy,
I was the best, and I mean thatWith every bit of my soul.
I was the best.
I'm teasing, no, but I was good, I was no, I was so good at
those was a.
I was no, I was so good atthose things.
Anything that I competed in inthe FFA thing, because it was
(08:30):
just all like speak, publicspeaking.
Like most kids haven't figuredout how to bullshit in front of
adults yet I mean, they know howto lie, but like to really
bullshit an adult, you got tohave like some good shit, so,
and I was really good at that.
So I mean, because that's whowas judging you, so, um, yeah,
so I always knock those thingsout of the park.
(08:50):
Plus, I just you know me, I'mjust completely full of shit.
Extemporaneous speaking that'swhat I do on a daily, freaking
basis.
Give me a topic, I'll make shitup what did you say the other
day?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
you said somebody's name and I was like he's making
that out of nichols.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Shout out if you're listening.
Billy nichols, I was in jailwith him back in the day oh,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
So so while we were at our seafood dinner, he was uh
, I don't even know what youcall my son's grandma, yeah, my
son's grandma right.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Right, we took Brenda out to eat and then she was
talking.
They were talking about theirold days back over in Hagerstown
when they used to At theHayloft.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
The Hayloft.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Brenda worked there.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, you worked there, yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
And hold on.
I'm just trying to get myself alittle better here.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I'm just trying to get a little better.
I said a little better thanbefore.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah, I was a karaoke DJ.
She was a bartender.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I did bartending here and there and she brought up
this guy.
She's like I can't rememberthis other guy's name.
His name was Billy.
He was real tall.
Now, mind you, hagerstown,50,000 people roughly.
I was like Billy Nichols,atlanta Bee thought I was joking
, because I just say shit likethat all the time, where I'm
(10:11):
like, yeah, I know him, johnnyJuiceman, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
This is one of his things.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
I just happened to name the one tall person I knew
in Hagerstown named Billy.
Hadn't seen a guy in 20 yearsShout out his name, Billy
Nichols.
Bada, boom, bada bing.
That's who she's talking aboutand I mean to be fair, he is
really tall.
So if you happen to knowBilly's and he's the only tall
(10:42):
Billy that I know- Right.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
If somebody said tall Chuck from Pittsburgh, I would
fucking know who they weretalking about.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Right, that's exactly right.
If you've ever met him, that'sprobably who you're going to
refer to as that person.
Yeah, no you're right, Likeit's just, there's a number of
other things that led to thatbeing.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
But it's just in out of context.
Knowing that you do that somuch to people like you'll, I
mean, I'll be like, rememberthat guy that we met at that
restaurant in Virginia?
And you'll be like, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Bob now.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Like what?
No, it started Cause I used todo it to my mom all the time.
Anytime she'd start talking andtelling a story or taking a
phone call, I'd be like who wasthat?
Debbie Ebersole, which reallycombined two people.
There was plenty of Ebersolesaround, but there was a lady up
the street named Debbie, but herlast name was something else.
So I just started calling herDebbie Ebersole and so I used to
(11:34):
do it to her all the time,until the point that, basically,
I think people started tobelieve that Debbie Ebersole was
real.
I mean, I'm sure that she is,but she wasn't anybody that we
knew.
It wasn't the one you weretalking about.
It wasn't anybody we knew.
She's hanging out with JoeSchwarzkopf and Billy Nichols.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Oh, so I know Whenever I was doing the promo.
Oh no, First, before I jumpinto that, you wanted me to
bring up forensics.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Oh, yeah, forensics.
So one time in eighth grade,when you was signing up for my
high school classes and everyteacher, especially like if you
were going into like the apclasses you had to get the
signature of, like the teacher,you had now to let him know that
, yeah, I think he's ready foryou know more advanced class.
(12:19):
And the science teacher's likewhat do you want to do when you
grow up?
Because I wanted to takebiology in ninth grade, which
you didn't usually do.
It was usually 10th grade.
But regardless of any of that,he's like what do you want to do
when you grow up?
And I said forensics?
He's like what in the hell doyou want to take biology for?
Then and I was like what areyou talking about, dude?
Csi is nothing but biology.
(12:41):
Like I, nothing but biology.
Like I was like what do youeven mean?
I had no idea that forensicshad like I just thought it was
like blood spatter, you know DNA, shit, I mean that's what we've
come to know it as today, butapparently it's also public
speaking and I don't know it'sgot something to do with that.
I don't even know exactly, to behonest with you.
I just know that, like it canbe used either or whatever.
(13:03):
Oh, forensic science, I think,is the word that you want to use
when applying to science, asopposed to regular forensics.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
See, you learn something new every day.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oh sorry.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, get it together .
Get it together.
What do you got?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
So last week we talked about SNL.
We did and we brought up theclip Don't Look Back in Anger,
which is my new favorite.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
John Belushi at the Gravestones.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yes, and then I just wanted to look at his date of
death because I was curious asto whether or not I was hitting
correctly that I was like sevenwhen he died.
I was correct.
He died in March of 1982.
And Scott the comedian was bornin October of 1982.
(14:00):
Belushi died when he was at hisrock bottom at the age of 33.
Scott hit his rock bottomHopefully that was the only one
you'll ever hit at the age of 33.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
So you don't think, before you got clean was your
rock bottom.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
No, I think I was 35.
Probably was my rock bottom.
I'm 42 years old, shh I don'twant people knowing that, but 70
, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, we'll call rock bottom 34.
How about it?
Split the difference, eh.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Split the difference.
Yeah, both were born to becomics.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Was I yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I think the only difference between his drug of
choices was cocaine.
Yours is pot, but other thanthat I.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I just but let's move on.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
But regardless of the similarities and I'm sure I
could find more parallelsbetween the two of you, Oh- His
dad worked at Big Lots.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
My dad worked at Big Lots Big.
Lots wasn't even my mom was aschool lunch lady.
His mom was a school lunch lady.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
He did a.
He played a school lunch ladyin SNL.
Oh, you guys were both in rockbands when you were 16-ish, so
that's a thing.
But no, regardless of theparallels, there's just
something to be said for howmuch love.
At seven years old I had afriend of mine that was on TV,
who was not very I mean, it'snot like he was super hot or
(15:43):
anything like that I was justattracted to his soul.
And then the same attractionthat I have for his soul ends up
having the attraction for yoursoul.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I'm just saying that I could be John Belushi.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I think that you're John Belushi reincarnate and
that you're put on this earth todo the second chance that he
didn't get in the first timeCause you didn't pick up your
comedy until after you hit yourrock bottom.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Right, a lot of people do it differently.
Yeah, a lot of people dive,right in?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah, I think, but anyways, just wanted to bring
that up.
What else do we have on our oh?
And what else we did lastweekend?
Which is my favorite thing?
It's a whole vibe 80s movieweekend.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Start off with the Goonies.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Any great 80s movie marathon starts off Goonies
because I mean Goonies never saydie.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
They never say die.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
It's the best movie of all time.
Anybody that didn't want to bea Goonie, I mean, what are you
even really doing with your lifeIf you didn't want to be a
Goonie?
What kind of childhood did youhave?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And if you grew up in Western Pennsylvania, the hills
of Estonia or whatever thatplace is called Astoria they
look like, it feels like whenthe opening credits look like
Westmont and you guys will knowwhat I'm talking about.
Or look like Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
I think too, like it was like as when we were kids,
you could explore.
My mom never checked on us,never.
We were out running, exploringeverywhere, especially when we
moved up to you know whereverthat Upton, because like we had
all the woods and stuff, man, wenever.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah, I mean, I played basketball every single
summer.
I wasn't an athlete, I wasn'tany good at it, but I played
basketball every single summerbecause we had um, they sent the
college kids that wanted to begym teachers and shit.
They sent them to the localplaygrounds with equipment and
they would bring equipment andyeah.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I went to say some things.
Similar kind of like a day campand not really, where you would
just show up and there would bepeople there doing activities
with kids.
Second thought maybe this is itwas such an innocent time back
then Nobody was worried aboutchild rape and abduction.
Right Like my youth pastornever tried to molest me.
It was such an innocent timeback then Nobody was worried
about child rape and abductionRight.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Like my youth, pastor never tried to molest me.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
You all knew the story of like one person in
Texas or something that gotkidnapped.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Right, but it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
But like they didn't worry, it wasn't a fear.
Like now parents would nevertrust kids with a complete
stranger in like a weirdsituation.
Back then they were like Idon't give a, take them, get
them out of my hair your momfucking handed you over to some
stranger and you're talking tosomebody that's been there.
Brother, I've been kidnappedand yet I'm here now, but that's
(18:44):
how.
That's how it went back.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Then there's your grandpap went to find you right,
you didn't want to fuck with mygrandpap when you were a kid,
if you didn't make your way upto um devil's cliffs or some
place like that dead man's caveit had to have a name.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It definitely involved.
It always had a name.
Death was usually involved inthe title yeah, yeah or like you
know, there every town had them.
You know what I mean.
It just depended on what youcalled it I mean we were playing
flashlight tag flashlight tag.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
By virtue of flashlight tag, that means that
it's dark outside.
We played flashlight tag andnobody ever got adopted.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
You know, I think damn near every devil body part
is like a location in a town.
There's like devil's backbone,devil's hands, devil's breast,
devil's breast cave.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
The old devil's tits.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
The old devil's tits cave.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
You heard about Johnny, didn't you?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah, he was up there exploring at the devil's tits
caves, he got attacked.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
We're heading on down to the new hot springs in town.
They're called the devil'sasshole.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Called the devil's nutsack.
No, but there was, though.
I mean there's a devil thing inevery town.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
There is, but I mean again, we just weren't and I
told you the other week.
I have a theory on this.
I have a theory about whyhumanity has evolved into
fucking hover helicopter parents.
It there's patient that was notgood.
(20:23):
Patient zero.
Who's patient zero?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
John Walsh.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
John Walsh.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
America's Most Wanted is what started this?
Them parents started gettingscared, scared, I get it.
Go find your kid buddy, get thenews out there.
But the problem was is theneverybody that worked so well?
It wasn't John Walsh.
He was trying to do a goodthing, trying to you know what I
mean help others.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Like Americans do with every fucking thing else,
we made it excess.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
No, well, listen.
This is why this is whathappened.
He created America's MostWanted.
It was a smash success.
So then you had 100,000 otherthings all talking about this
stuff, trying to duplicate thesuccess of America's Most Wanted
.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
And it might be the same case told by seven
different venues or mediums, butbecause it's being blasted in
your face all day, every day, Imean let's be real, though.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
It is happening a lot , though, because you see it all
the time, people get arrestedfor it.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
I mean, it happens a scary amount for as much as you
can get.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I mean, it happens a scary amount for as much as you
can get.
I think that child like peoplehave always been messing with
kids, dude From way back whentill now, like it's now, it's on
you.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I mean, I'd say it's like one out of five people, I'm
not even lying to you.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
It's probably like one, maybe one out of 10.
That's how scary it is.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
And that's why I stay away from people.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
People are disgusting , but anyways, that's not even
what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
We're talking about 80s movie, 80s weekends.
Well, first of all, let's talkabout the fact that an 80s movie
weekend does not even happenwithout homemade popcorn made on
the stove in a big pot with oil.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Shake a, shake a, shake a shake them, shake them,
shake them, bake them, bake thempopcorn making popcorn is like
one of my favorite things to do.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It's actually soothing for me because I love
the noise.
You never did nothing homemade.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
It was microwave all the way.
For me growing up, one timePappy Reed tried to make it on
the stove and it ended incomplete disaster and like I
don't think, he was shaking itthe way you're supposed to, and
so it burned, and that was thelast time that we ever anybody
in the Reed family tried to makepopcorn on a stove.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I mean full disclosure.
You can't do it on an electricstove because you don't have the
glide.
It has to be a gas stove to getthe best, or you could just use
an air popper.
But I learned how to make itthe old-fashioned way and I love
it and it's so simple and it'sso good and you can make a fuck
ton of it.
Every time I make it I make abowl like that bit, the biggest
(23:03):
Tupperware bowl we have.
So, anyways, so you start withGoonies, right.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Goonies.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Poltergeist, poltergeist great 80s movie, et,
et.

Ectocooler baby.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Ectocooler from scratch.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
I know, but ectoplasm is a little disgusting, it's
ghost juice.
I didn't make you ghost juice Imean, I know, but yeah, ecto

Ecto Cooler, that's why it'scool.
Ecto Cooler yes, it was amazing.
Ecto Cooler, of course.
Ghostbusters, great 80s movieoh my God.
Yes, but yeah, they had a drink.
(24:16):
Now, ecto Cooler was actuallyfrom, I believe, the real
Ghostbusters, the cartoon whichcame out in the 80s which I also
love.
Real ghostbusters, the cartoonwhich came out in the 80s which
I also love, which is also wherewe get the serial ghostbusters
from.
Uh, the ghostbusters cereal.
I should say not serialghostbusters, that's a little
bit different um, but it's wherewe get a lot of the kids, toys
(24:39):
and stuff like that was the realghostbusters, and the ecto
cooler, of course, was made byhigh c tangerine flavored drink
and it was absolutely amazing um.
They re-released it a few timessince with the new ghostbusters
movies and such um, but I don'tthink it was the same um.
But yeah, you made me ahomemade recipe one time.
(25:00):
That was pretty goddamn goodpretty good tangerine juice is
better than you think it is.
Let me just say that.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
But the recipe called for some apricot juice as well,
or apricot, I don't know howyou say that.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
That's what makes it special.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
It is what makes it special.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
That's what gives it the ecto.
That's what gives it the ecto.
Delecto, perfecto, mypresidential predicto.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
You're nuts.
You're wild.
Today You're hyper.
I love it.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
But no, I did love I mean, all the Ghostbusters.
So I was really jealous.
I told you before I had afriend that he always had like
the best cereal, the best toysand Ghostbusters cereal.
When I got to eat that at hishouse like you talk about a
moment that warmed my heart,buddy I probably had two bowls.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
God bless his mother, but yeah Like.
I don't remember.
The only thing that I was evernot covetous because that's not
the right word, but the onlything that any of my friends
ever got that like I was like alittle jelly of was um one of my
(26:15):
girlfriends, her grandmotherbought her expensive makeup like
clinique.
Clinique was high yeah, thatwas the high-end shit like the
80s and she always had theclinique lip gloss and the
everything clinique and it waslike but I mean, you're right,
what are you looking at?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Nothing.
Your nose hairs.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
But I mean it tracks because she grew up to marry
money and so whatever Right, ittracked.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
The only thing I was ever jealous of was that Evelyn
and Ryan both got to go toMcDonald's more than me and they
got the toys.
That I was extremely jealous.
Other than that, I did not care.
I was also jealous of the kidsthat were allowed to stay up
past light outside in thesummertime because I'd see them
from my window going to an icecream truck.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
You are so hyper.
Your mom made you go to bedbefore the lights were off.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Before the sun went down.
For Christ's sake, I rememberthat is cruel and unusual.
Don't ever make a Nobody shouldbe going to bed period unless
before the sun goes down.
That's not the way the worldworks, okay.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I mean people who work third shift.
Do that.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Kids don't work third shift, do that.
It don't work third shift.
I wasn't working third shift.
I tell you that.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Oh my gosh Sounds like you were traumatized.
Do you want to talk about this?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yeah, I'm traumatized because I didn't get the
Fraggle Rock toys.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I'm traumatized because I didn't get the
wrestling ice cream bars.
Is this why you went on to leada life of crime?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Yeah, I didn't get the silver Hawks that I wanted.
I didn't get the what was thename of that shit Thundercats
that I wanted.
I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
No, castle Grace, I got.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Barbies, though Barbie.
One time I got two of the sameBarbie for my birthday.
What a fiasco that was.
It was one of the gem dolls,the one fiasco that was.
It was one of the gem dolls,the one that was.
I don't know if she was black,but she had a different color
skin than the rest of them.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I can't, even I can't tell that story.
One of these days I'll be ableto share it when the world is
right again.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
but Olivia, once my oh yeah, don't ever say that
story, we're just going to dropit right there.
Her daughter dropped the N-wordin a McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
In a McDonald's in a city and it was her father's
fault.
I mean, I was horrified,horrified, horrified, horrified.
But her father, to be clear, ispurely racist.
And well, actually I think itwas an act, because he then went
(28:48):
on to um, have an email loveaffair with one of the nigerian
princess ladies, and he knew shewas black and he was in love
with her, but um, so got himselfa nigerian princess.
But live was three and we werein the hagerstown mcdonald's and
she got a barbie toy and said Idon't want the end, Barbie.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
You talk about some faces turning buddy.
Even in 1997, the heads turned.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
It was like 1999 ish.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
They killed her no 1997.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
She was born in 95.
Oh tell, oh my God, kids saythe darndest things they do.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Bill Cosby taught her that one.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah, but what else about the 80s?

trying to be sexy.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
How are you doing?
Speaker 3 (30:18):
whoa oh my that feels a little more invasive, but
i'm'm good, let's go.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
You still look good, let's go.
Okay.
So 80s movie weekends.
Do you want to say anything towrap that one up?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Nope, I don't Lots of good 80s movies, but I love
having a good 80s night.
We have one about once everycouple months.
Get some pizza, some popcornand some snacks and you're ready
to go.
It tastes like nostalgia and,as we know, that tastes the best
.
Nothing tastes better thannostalgia.
That's what America like.
If I've learned anything aboutbusiness, about anything America
(30:56):
nothing tastes as good asnostalgia.
People love to eat andexperience things from their
childhood and you know whatever.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
You know what else America loves Cigarettes.
Whatever you know what elseamerica loves cigarettes what
else america loves?
Crack a good sob story.
They do.
They love a good sob story, andyou know what sob story was in
the news this week that goteverybody all up in arms.
Dj daniel, this kid is so cuteoh, is that the little black kid
(31:29):
?
Yes, oh, I'm with you.
He's his brain like the way hespeaks is just.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
It blows my mind nothing crazy when there's like
an articulate little kidarticulate kids like blow my
they, they, just they.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Blow my mind like I can't even it's.
It's the most incredible thingto watch.
They're little old soulspackaged in a tiny little
package.
I'm only bringing that upbecause it's viral.
Obviously, whatever happened,it wasn't even the State of the
Union, it was the CongressionalAddress, or whatever he does.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Yeah, that's the State of the Union.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
No, the first one that a president does in their
term is not called a state ofthe union, it's called a address
of the joint that sounds likesome technical jerk.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
It's the state of the union.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Put it that way so, anyways, democrats didn't clap
for dj dan, who has cancer.
And who is what?
Who Trump inducted into thesecret service, right so secret
service.
Hall of Fame why I'm evenbringing it up is because I put
a video up of me ugly crying tohim getting inducted into the
(32:41):
secret service.
Within 10 minutes, that videohad over 400 views.
I put a video up promotingpositivity or trying to promote
the podcast, and those videosget one to 200 views.
What the fuck is up with theanalytic?
What the fuck is up with thealgorithm?
I'm going to tell you Americanslove humans, love a good sob
(33:06):
story, they love drama.
They love a car wreck.
They love sadness.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
And this is no more proof positive in the fact that
I am the greatest American idolhandicapper that you will ever
meet.
I can tell you, based on theirbackstory, how well they will do
in the competition.
And I mean I'm deadly accurate.
I mean it's uncanny howaccurate I am about this.
(33:31):
Like, if you're watchingAmerican Idol with me live, I
can give you betting odds.
I would love to, I would lovefor a casino to hire me and do
live handicapping of voicecompetitions, not because I know
voices but because I knowAmerica's racist hearts and who
they vote for and I know a sobstory and I can tell what
(33:53):
they'll respond to and what theywon't.
And let me tell you do I have alazy eye?
no, the video glitches, it likestops working it's not that it's
like when I'm looking here itlooks like I'm looking in from,
because I'm only looking at alittle.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Every once in a while your eye does wander, but we're
not going to touch that.
It does.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
With the men like you any man in my family you catch
them looking at a wrong way andthey'll give you one of them.
I'll go that way, it's goingit'll follow you, stop it yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
But anyway.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Make one hell of a skeet shooter.
Who said that?
Theo Theo Bond.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
I'm talking about his girlfriend, Paula.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Yeah, with a lazy eye .
That's my family.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
No, but you are a good handicapper.
And remember the I mean thefucking stripper.
She was a reformed stripper,that's all.
Was she a good handicapper?
And remember the I mean thefucking stripper.
She was a reformed stripper,that's all.
Was she a good singer?
Not in the grand scheme ofthings, no, but she made it far
because people loved her story.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
They wanted to raise her up on a platform and give
her what she had coming thatshe's been struggling for,
whatever you can tell, can telland, like I said, and you have
to, the hard part is predictingwhen America how far that sob
story will get them, whether ornot it'll overcome America's
like their racist tendencies invoting, whether it'll overcome
(35:18):
their gayist tendencies invoting, whether it'll overcome
their inability as a singer, andwhen America, like, how
powerful is that sob story?
You get somebody out there thatlost both parents, every
brother, sister, grandparent,they have cancer.
They're winning everything,baby.
No, actually they won't.
(35:39):
Because here's the thing is,america will only take it so far
and that's when you see, that'swhy you see things like certain
.
You can see anomalies in thewinners.
Like I say, america's racist.
Obviously there's been peopleyou know Ruben stuttered, one
American idol, right.
Or did he come in second?
No, he won.
And clay Aiken second, right.
(36:00):
But I'm just saying, in thatinstance, america hates gays.
Now, right, no, but you justhave to get a gate, you just
have to gauge for it.
But American are voting.
They tend to be.
You have to think if 10 percentof the people voting might have
(36:20):
an unconscious racial bias.
You have to take that intoaccount and I do and I'm very
good at it.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Baby, you just made the whole case for DI.
I think you're going to keepyour position as a DEI advisor,
I mean.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
I try, I know, but Nothing spells diversity, equity
, inclusion, like yours truly.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Like a white guy leading the conversation.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Like a white guy leading the conversation.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
I love it.
I love it, no, but I mean itdrives me insane.
That's, I mean trash panda.
I, the whole thought conceptbehind trash panda was trying
trying to promote positivity onsocial media and it just we
ended talking about drama, whichis cool, right, oh shit.
(37:09):
Yes, which is cool, becausethat was you know.
I mean it's content right, butat the end of the day, drama
sells.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I mean, that's the long and short of it and
corporate America and all theselittle assholes that control all
this, like productions andstuff.
They all know that.
They all know human behaviorand know how to play.
They all know how to playtricks.
Like any good propagandists.
They know how to play trickswith your mind because, whether
or not you want to or not, yourmind is susceptible to you know
(37:47):
certain things.
Well, just because of the waywe've progressed evolutionarily
through the years, our brain issubject to certain things.
It's subject to seeing patternswhere there's not.
It's subject to seeing.
You know what I mean.
Like there's so many things youcan do to trick your brain,
even if you're aware of it.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
No, there is.
I mean, that's why we've talkedabout, that's why the secret
actually does work, in myopinion.
But I heard somebody say it theother day and it jumped off the
page to me because it was areality person and they were
like no, reality shows are notscripted, but they're outlined.
(38:28):
Reality shows are not scripted,but they're outlined.
The producers are the ones thatare like putting shit in other
people's ears to cause drama andsaying hey, did you hear?
So-and-so said this about you,or whatever.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
That's exactly right.
They just they're able todictate.
You don't even have to doanything.
They're like you know, josh wastalking shit.
Yeah, that's all they say, andthen they've planted these seeds
.
That's all they do is plantseeds, and then they watch them
grow into beautiful dramaflowers yes, that's that's yes
yes, I mean, I wear it all on mysleeve.
(39:05):
So and it started with theoriginal reality show real world
.
They did it on there, theywould save it.
They would get messages fromthe, the producers and stuff
like this to like start startpushing this issue.
Yeah, start like being startleaving your laundry in the
fucking guest room or whatever,and then this creates this.
(39:25):
It like that's how they, that'show they're able to create
drama without scripting it well.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
So one of the content creators that I follow on
tiktok her name is um ava louiseand she's in the reality
network somewhere.
She's, she's done reality andvideos and all this, that and
the other.
And she said that you know, onone of the shows she was on, the
producers wanted her to go intosomebody's room and toss it
while they were on vacation.
I mean, they told her to go inand fucking go through
(39:55):
somebody's room.
It's their house.
The people that own the networkor whatever own the production
are paying for it Technically.
Whatever's in that place istheir property.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Humans are already dramatic.
It doesn't take much to stir upsome shit.
I mean, you see this it afacebook comment starts a murder
scenario.
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (40:19):
like well, that's another, that's a whole other
layer to get riled up that's awhole other layer, because when
you take um, the, the sound,when you take the audio out of
the mix and only have text, thenthen everybody's innuendo
doesn't.
You can't read innuendo alwaysin somebody's written word,
(40:39):
right?
So in a 40 character textyou're going to read your own
innuendo into how they meant itto be said, based off of who you
think that person is.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
Right, exactly.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
For the longest time.
I struggled when my kids got tohigh school and started using
socials.
I struggled when they put upsong lyrics because I didn't
understand that they weren'tlike going to go pop a cap
tonight in somebody's ass, thatthey were just feeling the vibe
of that song in the moment andthat was just that.
And it's funny when I see theold people commenting on like
(41:14):
what, what, what are you sayingthere?
They're like it's a song,grandma, it's a song I remember
when I was a kid, dmx.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
But blood of my blood , flesh of my flesh.
I think the name was the nameof the album.
Um, he's like covered in bloodon the front.
Anyway, there's a song on therecalled I don't give a fuck.
And my mom found the cd casebecause I kept my.
I had a great big book.
My book like looked like the,the, um, what do you call that
(41:46):
thing in the bible, like the dayof judgment, the, the book of
the, the Book of the Living, Idon't know Whatever.
Like a big book.
It looked like my CD book.
It opened like the greatestbook of ever.
It was so big and so thick.
It looked like a.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
And to this day you still owe Columbia House $2,574.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
Probably, actually, I think I owe them a nickel.
It was 90 CDs for a nickel.
Probably, actually, I think Iowe him a nickel.
It was 90 CDs for a nickel.
But regardless of any of that,I had a great big book of my mom
.
So I threw the CD case outwhile my mom comes down the
stairs and my mom who nevercusses ever, she just looks at
me and she goes.
She's got it in her hand but Idon't really see it because I'm
(42:28):
like not right there.
She's like I don't give a fuckand I was like what?
First of all, whoa about what?
And then she's like that's thename of this song.
I love it, but it was justfunny that I don't give a.
That's not how the song isn't.
(42:49):
I don't think DMX is like Idon't give a fuck.
You know what I meanX is like Idon't give a fuck.
You know what I mean.
He's like I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
But my mom phrased it as a question, which is what
you can do with the word fuck.
I don't give a fuck.
Miyagi, put a sneeze on thatone.
What else do we got?
Oh, ooh, you asked me what wegot going on next week, so um,
(43:24):
we got scott kelly's oh yeah,his specials dropping.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
That's gonna be fun.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
We're gonna go to a watch party for that that'll be
a lot of fun, but right afterthat and before your next show
with Scott in between thepremiere and the next show is my
favorite holiday next toHalloween.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
St Paddy's Day.
St Paddy's Day, which can onlymean one thing Corn beef and
pastrami, my two favorite wordsever.
Corn beef pastrami my twofavorite words ever Corned beef
pastrami.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
I was joking with the ladies earlier.
My husband is a refined meatman.
Speaker 3 (44:01):
He is the meat man Corned beef, turning that bad
boy into pastrami.
Well, I mean, you're brining abrisket and then turning it into
pastrami.
I guess it's not really cornedbeef, unless you make it like
that.
But you can buy a corned beefand make it into pastrami by
smoking it.
That's the whole idea.
And let me tell you, it's likeI like to call it, god's penis.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Is that what you call it?
Did I know that I was eatingGod's penis at this time?
Speaker 3 (44:34):
But I do like to call it God.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
I know that I was eating god's penis this time,
but I I do like to call it'sgod's gift to mankind.
I mean, it's probably, handsdown, the best meat that I've
ever eaten outside of stromy islike it really is.
Speaker 3 (44:45):
It's if, if I'm dying , I think that's what I want for
my last meal some good.
Yeah, it's charming brother.
It's like, it's like everythingyou love about every meat that
I think that's what I want formy last meal is some good
pastrami, bro.
It's like everything you loveabout every meat that you've
ever eaten, because it's got allthose great salty flavors.
The fat of the brisket justmakes it so tasty and tender.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
And that weird coriander flavor that pops out
at you every once in a while.
Speaker 3 (45:11):
It's like black pepper coriander, just heaven.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
But I like.
I mean, obviously I grew up onthe traditional style, my dad, I
love regular corn.
Yeah, my dad's 50% Irish, and Imean it was like it was like
murderous.
Yeah, he's 50% Irish, 25%German and 25%rainian.
(45:38):
All up in your ass, ukraine.
I don't identify with theukrainian side anymore, even
though I'm pretty sure that'swhere I got this luxurious hair,
um, anyways.
So, uh, yeah, like the cabbageand the potatoes in the in the
brine oh my god, it's just sodamn good.
Oh, the cabbage and the and thepotatoes in the brine, oh my
god, it's just so damn good.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
Oh, the cabbage and the and the potatoes in the
brine, oh my god.
So let me just start off thisby saying that I never even ate
corned beef, cabbage andpotatoes until I met you I love
that I mean I had I.
I think I might have had cornedbeef, right sure, pastrami.
I think I had that for sure,Like in a sandwich, but I didn't
(46:15):
even know.
Like we didn't do that back inFranklin County, we didn't do
cabbage and potatoes.
The closest thing we came toeat to something like that was
my mom always made sausage,green beans and potatoes.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Right.
Speaker 3 (46:29):
And just like baked in a casserole, and sometimes
she would use like regularsausage, but other times
sometimes she would use kielbasa, kielbasa, kielbasa.
Can we get an officialinterpretation there?
Speaker 2 (46:41):
no, um it's kielbasa, it's kielbasa, kielbasa.
But we say like, I say kielbasakielbasa.
Speaker 3 (46:51):
No, I know, but I think that's the proper way to
say it.
We need to get into this.
I'm going to research theproper Kielbasa Kielbasa.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Kielbasa, kielbasa.
Speaker 3 (47:03):
Kielbasa.
I'd like some kielbasa, please.
You remember that Tim Memeadows the ladies man.
Yes, I do, it's a lady, I'lltake some covalfie we're not big
drinkers, so we're not, I mean.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
So will we do a green beer on saint patty's day?
Speaker 3 (47:27):
probably not I don't ever do any beer.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
I'd be in shit out of luck if that's all there was.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
And we can't bring up .
Speaker 3 (48:32):
And the Irish can kiss my ass.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
We cannot bring up St Paddy's Day without bringing up
State Paddy's Day.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
The one time we got trapped.
So State College does their ownthing.
It's called State Paddy's Dayand it must be like on a
Saturday around the Thanksgivingyeah.
No, around St Patrick's Day.
Yeah, thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
It sounded like you were going to say Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (48:58):
But we were just out driving around, we were having a
good old time, and we ended updriving into State College.
Who knows how we got there,because we drive all around and
somehow we turned down this onestreet and next, next thing you
know, there was like 20,000students marching down the
street.
We're engulfed in a wave ofpeople.
(49:19):
We can't go forward, can't backup, can't go side to side.
We couldn't do anything.
We're like what's?
We got stuck in a town, statecollege is what.
Six blocks long, right, and wegot stuck for like two and a
half hours because we couldn'tmove, because it was just a
throng of people just walkingaround.
Yeah, just never again always beaware when you're going to
(49:42):
state college.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
We're in march of state patty's day yeah, texas
state patty's day is happeningbecause you're gonna you too
could get cut stock.
What else?
Oh, the last thing I have on myagenda and then we can wrap it
up.
So I saw this video on TikTokthis week where I so I love
(50:03):
following like the lore onTikTok, like the ghost.
Speaker 3 (50:06):
Oh, I love the Lord.
Like the lore law like the lorelodge.
Yeah, like lore, law yeah lorelodge yeah, like lore laws yeah.
Speaker 2 (50:13):
No, I know, I know like yes, and one of the
creators told a story the otherday what was?
Oh?
So there's an app calledrandonautica and it's like a
geocaching app where you tellthem I didn't look at the app
yet, but you put in your intentof what your like vibe is for
(50:36):
the day, or whatever, so you canput in like scary as the intent
and it'll take you to likescary Head's asylum, right, or
something Right.
So, um, I it's.
I'm going to have to do alittle bit more digging because
apparently this app is takingpeople to really scary places
(50:56):
and I can't tell if it's a setup, right.
Speaker 3 (50:59):
What would be?
Some like you're showing up tobe murdered.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
Right Like one.
People went to an abandonedhouse and the girl actually fell
through the floor while theywere creeping around in there.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
Who would allow this?
Speaker 2 (51:10):
Right, that's what I'm saying, so like I need to do
a little bit more digging onthis, but it reminded me of my
most favorite scavenger hunt ofall, which was kind of like
geocaching on steroids, kind ofnot.
Speaker 3 (51:21):
it was really fun back during covid yeah, during
covid we got wrapped into one ofthe weirdest contests with some
of the weirdest people youwould ever meet.
Speaker 1 (51:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (51:36):
With good intentions, but the whole thing was a shit
show.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
It was a shit show.
Speaker 3 (51:40):
So this guy that invented Jelly Bellies, david
Klein the candy man, go watchhim.
There's a documentary about him.
I'm not going to go down thatwhole rabbit hole.
He invented Jelly Bellies.
He sold it.
He went on to make othercandies.
He's like a candy wizard.
He is the real life.
William F Wonka, yeah, and he'sinvented many candies.
(52:05):
He has little midgets that areorange that follow him around
and help him do things.
Oh no, that's not him.
He has a couple of people thathelp him.
They're not orange that helphim, we don't know what shape
they are, but he is blueberryshaped.
He had a contest where he wasgoing to give away a candy
(52:27):
factory If you it was called agolden ticket challenge and
there was.
So there was treasure, treasure.
I say treasure hidden in eachstate was going to do a battle
and then there was going to beone.
If you won the state one, ifyou found the state treasure,
you got five thousand dollars.
(52:49):
And so kind of like the book,the secret, that that's what
it's called, right, not thesecret that we always talk about
.
Speaker 2 (52:58):
Not the Rhonda Byrne secret, but the secret.
Speaker 3 (53:00):
That's the treasure hunt the secret, the treasure
hunt.
Yeah, it's very similar to this.
Where there's you were, therewas each state, there was a
series of clues.
You had to pay, I think it was.
What is it 50 bucks orsomething for tickets.
Speaker 2 (53:13):
It was it 50 bucks or something for tickets, only 50
bucks for the entry fee.
So we ended up where we livedat the time.
We were actually able to enterboth Maryland and Pennsylvania
and we could have actuallyentered Virginia and West
Virginia, but that was right,but yeah, I mean you have to be
able to drive all over the placein these places and have time
right, because you have to beable to cover the whole state if
, in fact, you Right, becausethe clues could lead you to
(53:34):
anything and they were prettyvague.
Speaker 3 (53:37):
And we were partnered with my brother and his wife.
Speaker 2 (53:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (53:42):
And we were working together.
You were allowed to work asteams.
Speaker 2 (53:46):
So we covered both half of the states.
They covered the east half ofthe state.
Speaker 3 (53:51):
We did Maryland first .
So that gave us a practice runand uh, like we were out in
western maryland they were over,like down around the city and
stuff.
So like we were like all overthe place and you know,
investigating clues where wethought this might be.
And well then pennsylvania cameand a whole Maryland got solved
(54:12):
pretty quickly.
There was an issue with thefirst time.
They had to do it again, do asecond location.
It got solved in a few hours.
Some of them were really quick.
Pennsylvania's went the wholeday.
Nobody got it.
This is like a Saturday Sunday.
We actually came up here to thehouse that we're in right now.
Our house, but at the time washer sister's house for a party.
(54:36):
We were up here and we started.
We noticed something in in thepicture.
There was a picture of the clue.
So we knew that if we couldfigure out where we thought it
was, that we might be able touse this kind of visual clue to
figure this out.
And I don't even know how itreally happened, to be honest
(55:01):
with you.
They released a second cluebecause nobody found the first
right.
Speaker 2 (55:06):
So we were already looking at the picture and we
had a rough idea of where in thestate we wanted to go then.
So the second clue saidsomething about bombs that don't
kill, or something like thatbath bomb and it was bath bombs
and I remember I was sitting onthe steps out here and I was
(55:26):
like I wonder if it's bath bombsand then, like, as we said,
that your brother texted us andsaid that they believed it was
in bath.
Speaker 3 (55:35):
They thought that this other clue led up to this
at a park there and we're like,oh my goodness, so sure enough.
I Googled images of this parkand there underneath I could see
it ever so slightly, somethingthat was in the corner of the
picture of where it was, and Iwas like that's where it is, get
there right now, go get it.
And we won the five thousanddollars we kind of did it was
(55:59):
awesome it was so fun.
Speaker 2 (56:02):
I if I I a lot of credit to the creators of the um
of the clues stephanie 30 acresin a mobile yes yeah, now it's
stephanie, 30 acres, but yeah,like it was.
What a fantastic concept.
Administratively they could.
Speaker 3 (56:24):
Yeah, administratively it could have
been run a little bit better,but like it felt like it was so
fun because it was just likewe're doing it.
Speaker 2 (56:33):
No, I wish that they did another one now that I have
socials and everything like that, because for the people that
had socials, they were likebroadcasting.
Speaker 3 (56:40):
And it was during COVID, so people were, it was
getting people out.
Speaker 2 (56:43):
Yeah, and you were exploring outside without
bothering people.
You were going.
Speaker 3 (56:48):
Yeah, you were.
I mean, none of the clues wereinside.
I don't think like everythingwas outside at a public place
like a park or you know whatever, but it was like in a public
area that you had access.
Speaker 2 (57:01):
You didn't like have to you with our own little
scavenger hunt across the planet, but, anyways, the only one we
didn't get is Meow Death Gray.
Speaking of which, listeners,if any of you have experienced
(57:25):
this, we have a cat who likes towatch TV, and I mean, she
watches it, she watches it.
Speaker 3 (57:32):
We've had many cats that'll look at a TV if they
hear like a meow or somethinglike that.
But when I tell you, this catwill settle into an episode of
the Mentalist with me likeyou've never seen.
And I mean she's watchingBecause you can see her head
following everything on thescreen.
Man, she loves bones, she lovespsych, she loves monk.
(57:52):
She loves Bones, she lovesPsyche, she loves Monk.
Speaker 2 (57:56):
She loves my.
Speaker 3 (57:56):
Cat From Hell, my Cat From Hell.
She loves anything.
David Attenborough, nationalGeographic.
Speaker 2 (58:02):
She now loves Dr.
What's his name?
Dr Jeffrey.
Speaker 3 (58:05):
No, Dr Jeffrey.
Speaker 2 (58:07):
Yeah, dr Jeffrey, she loves Dr Jeffrey.
Speaker 3 (58:09):
Anything with animals she loves.
What started this, though?
The reason that we even sawthis?
Because Men in Black oh right,that's exactly.
The galaxy's, on Orion's belt,that cat was meowing around and
she just happened to be while wewere watching it and started
paying attention to this cat andthen, ever since then, she's
(58:30):
been hooked on TV.
Speaker 2 (58:31):
It's the funny thing.
Speaker 3 (58:32):
Men in Black got her.
She's a curious little.
We'll put a video in at the endof this, yeah.
Yeah, we'll put that in.
Speaker 2 (58:40):

Honestly, you know I'm asoft-shell connoisseur.
Like the shells were, theyweren't hard, but they were like
.
I like it to just just so softand gentle like a baby's blanket
.
I like it to be like that.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
How many baby's blankets have you eaten in your
lifetime?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
They're soft.
I've licked quite a few, soweird, so weird.
You don't ever lick a blanketbecause it's soft.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
No, there's blankets, the fuzzy ones that used to
have the satin rim across thetop, like the satin.
Whatever border I did used tosuck on the satin.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Is this bothering you that I'm so relaxed over here?

There's one or like dan soder,who does has a small like couch
and he's like right next to hisguests.

He just is like in his socks andhe'll be like literally laying
down on the couch while they'refilming like he's being, like
he's on a psych cat all the time.
I mean, he's totallycomfortable, and that's the
attitude that I'm taking now islike I don't care what I look
(04:42):
like, I want to be comfortable.
That way you get the bestversion of me.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I mean, I'm never comfortable, I'm uncomfortable
in my own skin.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I also love really holding my mic like this.
It's resting on my belly,that's how good it is.
Look at that.
It's resting on my belly,that's how it's perfect.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You're a crackhead, but I love you, love you.
Um, what else happened thispast week?
Oh, I did stand up for thesecond time yeah, second time it
was great, great, great.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
It was way better than your first time.
Your first time was impromptu,like you didn't even really know
you were gonna do it.
You had an idea.
You're like I might do it, butlike you didn't sit there.
This one you prepared for, youworked.
I mean practice, you practiced,you wrote, you like you did the
real deal.
I need to get that away from myface.
It's a comfortable thing, but Ilike it yeah, I like it close
(05:36):
to my face, but it's not goodfor me, it's not good for you.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
It gives you a radium no well, regardless of what it
gives you, the mics are reallygood.
So when I was in high school, Iwas in um.
It was called forensics, whichis weird.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, it is weird.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It's weird that it's called that, because what we
actually did was competitivepublic speaking right.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, when you get done this, don't let me forget
this Science teacher forensicsGo ahead.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Okay, so um one of the bits that I did, I I
competed in.
So I competed in comedy umperformance.
I competed in dramaticperformance.
I competed in radiobroadcasting, which I actually
won states in, but in my comedicperformance it was oh shit, who
(06:30):
was the lady on Saturday NightLive?
Lily Tomlin?
She was on Saturday Night Live,right?
Speaker 1 (06:37):

gosh, she was so cute, but shedid.
She in the big chair, oh mygosh, she was so cute, but she
did.
She's a mindless Hollywoodliberal.
She had like a monologue thatshe did on Broadway and it was
how do you get to excuse me,ma'am, how do you get to
Broadway?
And she's like, and what I toldhim was practice oh yeah, I got
(07:00):
high scores for that, but itwas corny and stupid, but that
always stuck with me.
Just practice, practice,practice.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Now, did you so?
Did you play in a speech?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
In when I competed in high school.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, in forensics.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So when I did the drama and the comedic, they were
actually they were monologuesfrom plays and stuff, so I did
have to practice those.
But I was also on the um, oh, Iwant to say impromptu was the
name of the category, but youhad.
You had three minutes to likegive your stance on something,
(07:36):
but you, you got the subjectlike maybe 15 minutes, yeah, and
you had to prepare and read wasthe the word extemporaneous.
Yes, extemporaneous publicspeaking yes, you're so right.
That was the category that Ilike to compete in.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Extemporaneous.
Here's our weekly visitor.

Anything that I competed in inthe FFA thing, because it was
(08:30):
just all like speak, publicspeaking.
Like most kids haven't figuredout how to bullshit in front of
adults yet I mean, they know howto lie, but like to really
bullshit an adult, you got tohave like some good shit, so,
and I was really good at that.
So I mean, because that's whowas judging you, so, um, yeah,
so I always knock those thingsout of the park.
(08:50):
Plus, I just you know me, I'mjust completely full of shit.
Extemporaneous speaking that'swhat I do on a daily, freaking
basis.
Give me a topic, I'll make shitup what did you say the other

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah, I was a karaoke DJ.
She was a bartender.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I did bartending here and there and she brought up
this guy.
She's like I can't rememberthis other guy's name.
His name was Billy.
He was real tall.
Now, mind you, hagerstown,50,000 people roughly.
I was like Billy Nichols,atlanta Bee thought I was joking
, because I just say shit likethat all the time, where I'm
(10:11):
like, yeah, I know him, johnnyJuiceman, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
This is one of his things.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
I just happened to name the one tall person I knew
in Hagerstown named Billy.
Hadn't seen a guy in 20 yearsShout out his name, Billy
Nichols.
Bada, boom, bada bing.
That's who she's talking aboutand I mean to be fair, he is
really tall.
So if you happen to knowBilly's and he's the only tall
(10:42):
Billy that I know- Right.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
If somebody said tall Chuck from Pittsburgh, I would
fucking know who they weretalking about.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Right, that's exactly right.
If you've ever met him, that'sprobably who you're going to
refer to as that person.
Yeah, no you're right, Likeit's just, there's a number of
other things that led to thatbeing.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
But it's just in out of context.
Knowing that you do that somuch to people like you'll, I
mean, I'll be like, rememberthat guy that we met at that
restaurant in Virginia?
And you'll be like, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Bob now.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Like what?
No, it started Cause I used todo it to my mom all the time.
Anytime she'd start talking andtelling a story or taking a
phone call, I'd be like who wasthat?
Debbie Ebersole, which reallycombined two people.
There was plenty of Ebersolesaround, but there was a lady up
the street named Debbie, but herlast name was something else.
So I just started calling herDebbie Ebersole and so I used to
(11:34):
do it to her all the time,until the point that, basically,
I think people started tobelieve that Debbie Ebersole was
real.
I mean, I'm sure that she is,but she wasn't anybody that we
knew.
It wasn't the one you weretalking about.
It wasn't anybody we knew.
She's hanging out with JoeSchwarzkopf and Billy Nichols.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Oh, so I know Whenever I was doing the promo.
Oh no, First, before I jumpinto that, you wanted me to
bring up forensics.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Oh, yeah, forensics.
So one time in eighth grade,when you was signing up for my
high school classes and everyteacher, especially like if you
were going into like the apclasses you had to get the
signature of, like the teacher,you had now to let him know that
, yeah, I think he's ready foryou know more advanced class.
(12:19):
And the science teacher's likewhat do you want to do when you
grow up?
Because I wanted to takebiology in ninth grade, which
you didn't usually do.
It was usually 10th grade.
But regardless of any of that,he's like what do you want to do
when you grow up?
And I said forensics?
He's like what in the hell doyou want to take biology for?
Then and I was like what areyou talking about, dude?
Csi is nothing but biology.
(12:41):
Like I, nothing but biology.
Like I was like what do youeven mean?
I had no idea that forensicshad like I just thought it was
like blood spatter, you know DNA, shit, I mean that's what we've
come to know it as today, butapparently it's also public
speaking and I don't know it'sgot something to do with that.
I don't even know exactly, to behonest with you.
I just know that, like it canbe used either or whatever.
(13:03):
Oh, forensic science, I think,is the word that you want to use
when applying to science, asopposed to regular forensics.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
See, you learn something new every day.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oh sorry.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, get it together .
Get it together.
What do you got?
Speaker 2 (13:25):
So last week we talked about SNL.
We did and we brought up theclip Don't Look Back in Anger,
which is my new favorite.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
John Belushi at the Gravestones.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yes, and then I just wanted to look at his date of
death because I was curious asto whether or not I was hitting
correctly that I was like sevenwhen he died.
I was correct.
He died in March of 1982.
And Scott the comedian was bornin October of 1982.
(14:00):
Belushi died when he was at hisrock bottom at the age of 33.
Scott hit his rock bottomHopefully that was the only one
you'll ever hit at the age of 33.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
So you don't think, before you got clean was your
rock bottom.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
No, I think I was 35.
Probably was my rock bottom.
I'm 42 years old, shh I don'twant people knowing that, but 70
, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, we'll call rock bottom 34.
How about it?
Split the difference, eh.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Split the difference.
Yeah, both were born to becomics.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Was I yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I think the only difference between his drug of
choices was cocaine.
Yours is pot, but other thanthat I.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I just but let's move on.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
But regardless of the similarities and I'm sure I
could find more parallelsbetween the two of you, Oh- His
dad worked at Big Lots.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
My dad worked at Big Lots Big.
Lots wasn't even my mom was aschool lunch lady.
His mom was a school lunch lady.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
He did a.
He played a school lunch ladyin SNL.
Oh, you guys were both in rockbands when you were 16-ish, so
that's a thing.
But no, regardless of theparallels, there's just
something to be said for howmuch love.
At seven years old I had afriend of mine that was on TV,
who was not very I mean, it'snot like he was super hot or
(15:43):
anything like that I was justattracted to his soul.
And then the same attractionthat I have for his soul ends up
having the attraction for yoursoul.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I'm just saying that I could be John Belushi.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I think that you're John Belushi reincarnate and
that you're put on this earth todo the second chance that he
didn't get in the first timeCause you didn't pick up your
comedy until after you hit yourrock bottom.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Right, a lot of people do it differently.
Yeah, a lot of people dive,right in?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah, I think, but anyways, just wanted to bring
that up.
What else do we have on our oh?
And what else we did lastweekend?
Which is my favorite thing?
It's a whole vibe 80s movieweekend.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Start off with the Goonies.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Any great 80s movie marathon starts off Goonies
because I mean Goonies never saydie.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
They never say die.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
It's the best movie of all time.
Anybody that didn't want to bea Goonie, I mean, what are you
even really doing with your lifeIf you didn't want to be a
Goonie?
What kind of childhood did youhave?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And if you grew up in Western Pennsylvania, the hills
of Estonia or whatever thatplace is called Astoria they
look like, it feels like whenthe opening credits look like
Westmont and you guys will knowwhat I'm talking about.
Or look like Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
I think too, like it was like as when we were kids,
you could explore.
My mom never checked on us,never.
We were out running, exploringeverywhere, especially when we
moved up to you know whereverthat Upton, because like we had
all the woods and stuff, man, wenever.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah, I mean, I played basketball every single
summer.
I wasn't an athlete, I wasn'tany good at it, but I played
basketball every single summerbecause we had um, they sent the
college kids that wanted to begym teachers and shit.
They sent them to the localplaygrounds with equipment and
they would bring equipment andyeah.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I went to say some things.
Similar kind of like a day campand not really, where you would
just show up and there would bepeople there doing activities
with kids.
Second thought maybe this is itwas such an innocent time back
then Nobody was worried aboutchild rape and abduction.
Right Like my youth pastornever tried to molest me.
It was such an innocent timeback then Nobody was worried
about child rape and abductionRight.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Like my youth, pastor never tried to molest me.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
You all knew the story of like one person in
Texas or something that gotkidnapped.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Right, but it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
But like they didn't worry, it wasn't a fear.
Like now parents would nevertrust kids with a complete
stranger in like a weirdsituation.
Back then they were like Idon't give a, take them, get
them out of my hair your momfucking handed you over to some
stranger and you're talking tosomebody that's been there.
Brother, I've been kidnappedand yet I'm here now, but that's
(18:44):
how.
That's how it went back.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Then there's your grandpap went to find you right,
you didn't want to fuck with mygrandpap when you were a kid,
if you didn't make your way upto um devil's cliffs or some
place like that dead man's caveit had to have a name.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It definitely involved.
It always had a name.
Death was usually involved inthe title yeah, yeah or like you
know, there every town had them.
You know what I mean.
It just depended on what youcalled it I mean we were playing
flashlight tag flashlight tag.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
By virtue of flashlight tag, that means that
it's dark outside.
We played flashlight tag andnobody ever got adopted.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
You know, I think damn near every devil body part
is like a location in a town.
There's like devil's backbone,devil's hands, devil's breast,
devil's breast cave.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
The old devil's tits.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
The old devil's tits cave.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
You heard about Johnny, didn't you?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah, he was up there exploring at the devil's tits
caves, he got attacked.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
We're heading on down to the new hot springs in town.
They're called the devil'sasshole.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Called the devil's nutsack.
No, but there was, though.
I mean there's a devil thing inevery town.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
There is, but I mean again, we just weren't and I
told you the other week.
I have a theory on this.
I have a theory about whyhumanity has evolved into
fucking hover helicopter parents.
It there's patient that was notgood.
(20:23):
Patient zero.
Who's patient zero?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
John Walsh.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
John Walsh.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
America's Most Wanted is what started this?
Them parents started gettingscared, scared, I get it.
Go find your kid buddy, get thenews out there.
But the problem was is theneverybody that worked so well?
It wasn't John Walsh.
He was trying to do a goodthing, trying to you know what I
mean help others.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Like Americans do with every fucking thing else,
we made it excess.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
No, well, listen.
This is why this is whathappened.
He created America's MostWanted.
It was a smash success.
So then you had 100,000 otherthings all talking about this
stuff, trying to duplicate thesuccess of America's Most Wanted
.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
And it might be the same case told by seven
different venues or mediums, butbecause it's being blasted in
your face all day, every day, Imean let's be real, though.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
It is happening a lot , though, because you see it all
the time, people get arrestedfor it.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
I mean, it happens a scary amount for as much as you
can get.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I mean, it happens a scary amount for as much as you
can get.
I think that child like peoplehave always been messing with
kids, dude From way back whentill now, like it's now, it's on
you.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I mean, I'd say it's like one out of five people, I'm
not even lying to you.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
It's probably like one, maybe one out of 10.
That's how scary it is.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
And that's why I stay away from people.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
People are disgusting , but anyways, that's not even
what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
We're talking about 80s movie, 80s weekends.
Well, first of all, let's talkabout the fact that an 80s movie
weekend does not even happenwithout homemade popcorn made on
the stove in a big pot with oil.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Shake a, shake a, shake a shake them, shake them,
shake them, bake them, bake thempopcorn making popcorn is like
one of my favorite things to do.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It's actually soothing for me because I love
the noise.
You never did nothing homemade.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
It was microwave all the way.
For me growing up, one timePappy Reed tried to make it on
the stove and it ended incomplete disaster and like I
don't think, he was shaking itthe way you're supposed to, and
so it burned, and that was thelast time that we ever anybody
in the Reed family tried to makepopcorn on a stove.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I mean full disclosure.
You can't do it on an electricstove because you don't have the
glide.
It has to be a gas stove to getthe best, or you could just use
an air popper.
But I learned how to make itthe old-fashioned way and I love
it and it's so simple and it'sso good and you can make a fuck
ton of it.
Every time I make it I make abowl like that bit, the biggest
(23:03):
Tupperware bowl we have.
So, anyways, so you start withGoonies, right.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Goonies.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Poltergeist, poltergeist great 80s movie, et,
et.
There's a couple that wehaven't.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Also, I have to eat pizza during any movie that
features pizza.
That being et home alone.
Um what else?
Yeah we haven't talked aboutthat teenage mutant, ninja
turtles.
That's a pizza movie if I everseen one in my life.
Um, they love their pizza.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
They really did oh, remember that time I made you
ectoplasm, from scratch.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Ectocooler baby.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Ectocooler from scratch.
I say things weird.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I know, but ectoplasm is a little disgusting, it's
ghost juice.
I didn't make you ghost juice Imean, I know, but yeah, ecto
cool, that's why it's cool.
Ecto Cooler, that's why it'scool.
Ecto Cooler yes, it was amazing.
Ecto Cooler, of course.
Ghostbusters, great 80s movieoh my God.
Yes, but yeah, they had a drink.
(24:16):
Now, ecto Cooler was actuallyfrom, I believe, the real
Ghostbusters, the cartoon whichcame out in the 80s which I also
love.
Real ghostbusters, the cartoonwhich came out in the 80s which
I also love, which is also wherewe get the serial ghostbusters
from.
Uh, the ghostbusters cereal.
I should say not serialghostbusters, that's a little
bit different um, but it's wherewe get a lot of the kids, toys
(24:39):
and stuff like that was the realghostbusters, and the ecto
cooler, of course, was made byhigh c tangerine flavored drink
and it was absolutely amazing um.
They re-released it a few timessince with the new ghostbusters
movies and such um, but I don'tthink it was the same um.
But yeah, you made me ahomemade recipe one time.
(25:00):
That was pretty goddamn goodpretty good tangerine juice is
better than you think it is.
Let me just say that.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
But the recipe called for some apricot juice as well,
or apricot, I don't know howyou say that.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
That's what makes it special.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
It is what makes it special.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
That's what gives it the ecto.
That's what gives it the ecto.
Delecto, perfecto, mypresidential predicto.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
You're nuts.
You're wild.
Today You're hyper.
I love it.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
But no, I did love I mean, all the Ghostbusters.
So I was really jealous.
I told you before I had afriend that he always had like
the best cereal, the best toysand Ghostbusters cereal.
When I got to eat that at hishouse like you talk about a
moment that warmed my heart,buddy I probably had two bowls.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
God bless his mother, but yeah Like.
I don't remember.
The only thing that I was evernot covetous because that's not
the right word, but the onlything that any of my friends
ever got that like I was like alittle jelly of was um one of my
(26:15):
girlfriends, her grandmotherbought her expensive makeup like
clinique.
Clinique was high yeah, thatwas the high-end shit like the
80s and she always had theclinique lip gloss and the
everything clinique and it waslike but I mean, you're right,
what are you looking at?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Nothing.
Your nose hairs.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
But I mean it tracks because she grew up to marry
money and so whatever Right, ittracked.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
The only thing I was ever jealous of was that Evelyn
and Ryan both got to go toMcDonald's more than me and they
got the toys.
That I was extremely jealous.
Other than that, I did not care.
I was also jealous of the kidsthat were allowed to stay up
past light outside in thesummertime because I'd see them
from my window going to an icecream truck.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
You are so hyper.
Your mom made you go to bedbefore the lights were off.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Before the sun went down.
For Christ's sake, I rememberthat is cruel and unusual.
Don't ever make a Nobody shouldbe going to bed period unless
before the sun goes down.
That's not the way the worldworks, okay.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I mean people who work third shift.
Do that.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Kids don't work third shift, do that.
It don't work third shift.
I wasn't working third shift.
I tell you that.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Oh my gosh Sounds like you were traumatized.
Do you want to talk about this?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yeah, I'm traumatized because I didn't get the
Fraggle Rock toys.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I'm traumatized because I didn't get the
wrestling ice cream bars.
Is this why you went on to leada life of crime?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Yeah, I didn't get the silver Hawks that I wanted.
I didn't get the what was thename of that shit Thundercats
that I wanted.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Barbies, though Barbie.
One time I got two of the sameBarbie for my birthday.
What a fiasco that was.
It was one of the gem dolls,the one fiasco that was.
It was one of the gem dolls,the one that was.
I don't know if she was black,but she had a different color
skin than the rest of them.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I can't, even I can't tell that story.
One of these days I'll be ableto share it when the world is
right again.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
but Olivia, once my oh yeah, don't ever say that
story, we're just going to dropit right there.
Her daughter dropped the N-wordin a McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
In a McDonald's in a city and it was her father's
fault.
I mean, I was horrified,horrified, horrified, horrified.
But her father, to be clear, ispurely racist.
And well, actually I think itwas an act, because he then went
(28:48):
on to um, have an email loveaffair with one of the nigerian
princess ladies, and he knew shewas black and he was in love
with her, but um, so got himselfa nigerian princess.
But live was three and we werein the hagerstown mcdonald's and
she got a barbie toy and said Idon't want the end, Barbie.
Speaker 3 (29:07):

Even in 1997, the heads turned.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
It was like 1999 ish.

We have one about once everycouple months.
Get some pizza, some popcornand some snacks and you're ready
to go.
It tastes like nostalgia and,as we know, that tastes the best
.
Nothing tastes better thannostalgia.
That's what America like.
If I've learned anything aboutbusiness, about anything America
(30:56):
nothing tastes as good asnostalgia.
People love to eat andexperience things from their
childhood and you know whatever.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
You know what else America loves Cigarettes.
Whatever you know what elseamerica loves cigarettes what
else america loves?
Crack a good sob story.
They do.
They love a good sob story, andyou know what sob story was in
the news this week that goteverybody all up in arms.
Dj daniel, this kid is so cuteoh, is that the little black kid
(31:29):
?
Yes, oh, I'm with you.
He's his brain like the way hespeaks is just.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
It blows my mind nothing crazy when there's like
an articulate little kidarticulate kids like blow my
they, they, just they.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Blow my mind like I can't even it's.
It's the most incredible thingto watch.
They're little old soulspackaged in a tiny little
package.
I'm only bringing that upbecause it's viral.
Obviously, whatever happened,it wasn't even the State of the
Union, it was the CongressionalAddress, or whatever he does.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Yeah, that's the State of the Union.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
No, the first one that a president does in their
term is not called a state ofthe union, it's called a address
of the joint that sounds likesome technical jerk.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
It's the state of the union.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Put it that way so, anyways, democrats didn't clap
for dj dan, who has cancer.
And who is what?
Who Trump inducted into thesecret service, right so secret
service.
Hall of Fame why I'm evenbringing it up is because I put
a video up of me ugly crying tohim getting inducted into the
(32:41):
secret service.
Within 10 minutes, that videohad over 400 views.
I put a video up promotingpositivity or trying to promote
the podcast, and those videosget one to 200 views.
What the fuck is up with theanalytic?
What the fuck is up with thealgorithm?
I'm going to tell you Americanslove humans, love a good sob
(33:06):
story, they love drama.
They love a car wreck.
They love sadness.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
And this is no more proof positive in the fact that
I am the greatest American idolhandicapper that you will ever
meet.
I can tell you, based on theirbackstory, how well they will do
in the competition.
And I mean I'm deadly accurate.
I mean it's uncanny howaccurate I am about this.
(33:31):
Like, if you're watchingAmerican Idol with me live, I
can give you betting odds.
I would love to, I would lovefor a casino to hire me and do
live handicapping of voicecompetitions, not because I know
voices but because I knowAmerica's racist hearts and who
they vote for and I know a sobstory and I can tell what
(33:53):
they'll respond to and what theywon't.
And let me tell you do I have alazy eye?
no, the video glitches, it likestops working it's not that it's
like when I'm looking here itlooks like I'm looking in from,
because I'm only looking at alittle.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Every once in a while your eye does wander, but we're
not going to touch that.
It does.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
With the men like you any man in my family you catch
them looking at a wrong way andthey'll give you one of them.
I'll go that way, it's goingit'll follow you, stop it yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
But anyway.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Make one hell of a skeet shooter.
Who said that?
Theo Theo Bond.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
I'm talking about his girlfriend, Paula.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Yeah, with a lazy eye .
That's my family.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
No, but you are a good handicapper.
And remember the I mean thefucking stripper.
She was a reformed stripper,that's all.
Was she a good handicapper?
And remember the I mean thefucking stripper.
She was a reformed stripper,that's all.
Was she a good singer?
Not in the grand scheme ofthings, no, but she made it far
because people loved her story.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
They wanted to raise her up on a platform and give
her what she had coming thatshe's been struggling for,
whatever you can tell, can telland, like I said, and you have
to, the hard part is predictingwhen America how far that sob
story will get them, whether ornot it'll overcome America's
like their racist tendencies invoting, whether it'll overcome
(35:18):
their gayist tendencies invoting, whether it'll overcome
their inability as a singer, andwhen America, like, how
powerful is that sob story?
You get somebody out there thatlost both parents, every
brother, sister, grandparent,they have cancer.
They're winning everything,baby.
No, actually they won't.
(35:39):
Because here's the thing is,america will only take it so far
and that's when you see, that'swhy you see things like certain
.
You can see anomalies in thewinners.
Like I say, america's racist.
Obviously there's been peopleyou know Ruben stuttered, one
American idol, right.
Or did he come in second?
No, he won.
And clay Aiken second, right.
(36:00):
But I'm just saying, in thatinstance, america hates gays.
Now, right, no, but you justhave to get a gate, you just
have to gauge for it.
But American are voting.
They tend to be.
You have to think if 10 percentof the people voting might have
(36:20):
an unconscious racial bias.
You have to take that intoaccount and I do and I'm very
good at it.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Baby, you just made the whole case for DI.
I think you're going to keepyour position as a DEI advisor,
I mean.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
I try, I know, but Nothing spells diversity, equity
, inclusion, like yours truly.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Like a white guy leading the conversation.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Like a white guy leading the conversation.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
I love it.
I love it, no, but I mean itdrives me insane.
That's, I mean trash panda.
I, the whole thought conceptbehind trash panda was trying
trying to promote positivity onsocial media and it just we
ended talking about drama, whichis cool, right, oh shit.
(37:09):
Yes, which is cool, becausethat was you know.
I mean it's content right, butat the end of the day, drama
sells.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I mean, that's the long and short of it and
corporate America and all theselittle assholes that control all
this, like productions andstuff.
They all know that.
They all know human behaviorand know how to play.
They all know how to playtricks.
Like any good propagandists.
They know how to play trickswith your mind because, whether
or not you want to or not, yourmind is susceptible to you know
(37:47):
certain things.
Well, just because of the waywe've progressed evolutionarily
through the years, our brain issubject to certain things.
It's subject to seeing patternswhere there's not.
It's subject to seeing.
You know what I mean.
Like there's so many things youcan do to trick your brain,
even if you're aware of it.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
No, there is.
I mean, that's why we've talkedabout, that's why the secret
actually does work, in myopinion.
But I heard somebody say it theother day and it jumped off the
page to me because it was areality person and they were
like no, reality shows are notscripted, but they're outlined.
(38:28):
Reality shows are not scripted,but they're outlined.
The producers are the ones thatare like putting shit in other
people's ears to cause drama andsaying hey, did you hear?
So-and-so said this about you,or whatever.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
That's exactly right.
They just they're able todictate.
You don't even have to doanything.
They're like you know, josh wastalking shit.
Yeah, that's all they say, andthen they've planted these seeds
.
That's all they do is plantseeds, and then they watch them
grow into beautiful dramaflowers yes, that's that's yes
yes, I mean, I wear it all on mysleeve.
(39:05):
So and it started with theoriginal reality show real world
.
They did it on there, theywould save it.
They would get messages fromthe, the producers and stuff
like this to like start startpushing this issue.
Yeah, start like being startleaving your laundry in the
fucking guest room or whatever,and then this creates this.
(39:25):
It like that's how they, that'show they're able to create
drama without scripting it well.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
So one of the content creators that I follow on
tiktok her name is um ava louiseand she's in the reality
network somewhere.
She's, she's done reality andvideos and all this, that and
the other.
And she said that you know, onone of the shows she was on, the
producers wanted her to go intosomebody's room and toss it
while they were on vacation.
I mean, they told her to go inand fucking go through
(39:55):
somebody's room.
It's their house.
The people that own the networkor whatever own the production
are paying for it Technically.
Whatever's in that place istheir property.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Humans are already dramatic.
It doesn't take much to stir upsome shit.
I mean, you see this it afacebook comment starts a murder
scenario.
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (40:19):
like well, that's another, that's a whole other
layer to get riled up that's awhole other layer, because when
you take um, the, the sound,when you take the audio out of
the mix and only have text, thenthen everybody's innuendo
doesn't.
You can't read innuendo alwaysin somebody's written word,
(40:39):
right?
So in a 40 character textyou're going to read your own
innuendo into how they meant itto be said, based off of who you
think that person is.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
Right, exactly.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
For the longest time.
I struggled when my kids got tohigh school and started using
socials.
I struggled when they put upsong lyrics because I didn't
understand that they weren'tlike going to go pop a cap
tonight in somebody's ass, thatthey were just feeling the vibe
of that song in the moment andthat was just that.
And it's funny when I see theold people commenting on like
(41:14):
what, what, what are you sayingthere?
They're like it's a song,grandma, it's a song I remember
when I was a kid, dmx.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
But blood of my blood , flesh of my flesh.
I think the name was the nameof the album.
Um, he's like covered in bloodon the front.
Anyway, there's a song on therecalled I don't give a fuck.
And my mom found the cd casebecause I kept my.
I had a great big book.
My book like looked like the,the, um, what do you call that
(41:46):
thing in the bible, like the dayof judgment, the, the book of
the, the Book of the Living, Idon't know Whatever.
Like a big book.
It looked like my CD book.
It opened like the greatestbook of ever.
It was so big and so thick.
It looked like a.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
And to this day you still owe Columbia House $2,574.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
Probably, actually, I think I owe them a nickel.
It was 90 CDs for a nickel.
Probably, actually, I think Iowe him a nickel.
It was 90 CDs for a nickel.
But regardless of any of that,I had a great big book of my mom
.
So I threw the CD case outwhile my mom comes down the
stairs and my mom who nevercusses ever, she just looks at
me and she goes.
She's got it in her hand but Idon't really see it because I'm
(42:28):
like not right there.
She's like I don't give a fuckand I was like what?
First of all, whoa about what?
And then she's like that's thename of this song.
I love it, but it was justfunny that I don't give a.
That's not how the song isn't.
(42:49):
I don't think DMX is like Idon't give a fuck.
You know what I meanX is like Idon't give a fuck.
You know what I mean.
He's like I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
But my mom phrased it as a question, which is what
you can do with the word fuck.
I don't give a fuck.
Miyagi, put a sneeze on thatone.
What else do we got?
Oh, ooh, you asked me what wegot going on next week, so um,
(43:24):
we got scott kelly's oh yeah,his specials dropping.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
That's gonna be fun.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
We're gonna go to a watch party for that that'll be
a lot of fun, but right afterthat and before your next show
with Scott in between thepremiere and the next show is my
favorite holiday next toHalloween.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
St Paddy's Day.
St Paddy's Day, which can onlymean one thing Corn beef and
pastrami, my two favorite wordsever.
Corn beef pastrami my twofavorite words ever Corned beef
pastrami.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
I was joking with the ladies earlier.
My husband is a refined meatman.
Speaker 3 (44:01):
He is the meat man Corned beef, turning that bad
boy into pastrami.
Well, I mean, you're brining abrisket and then turning it into
pastrami.
I guess it's not really cornedbeef, unless you make it like
that.
But you can buy a corned beefand make it into pastrami by
smoking it.
That's the whole idea.
And let me tell you, it's likeI like to call it, god's penis.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Is that what you call it?
Did I know that I was eatingGod's penis at this time?
Speaker 3 (44:34):
But I do like to call it God.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
I know that I was eating god's penis this time,
but I I do like to call it'sgod's gift to mankind.
I mean, it's probably, handsdown, the best meat that I've
ever eaten outside of stromy islike it really is.
Speaker 3 (44:45):
It's if, if I'm dying , I think that's what I want for
my last meal some good.
Yeah, it's charming brother.
It's like, it's like everythingyou love about every meat that
I think that's what I want formy last meal is some good
pastrami, bro.
It's like everything you loveabout every meat that you've
ever eaten, because it's got allthose great salty flavors.
The fat of the brisket justmakes it so tasty and tender.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
And that weird coriander flavor that pops out
at you every once in a while.
Speaker 3 (45:11):
It's like black pepper coriander, just heaven.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
But I like.
I mean, obviously I grew up onthe traditional style, my dad, I
love regular corn.
Yeah, my dad's 50% Irish, and Imean it was like it was like
murderous.
Yeah, he's 50% Irish, 25%German and 25%rainian.
(45:38):
All up in your ass, ukraine.
I don't identify with theukrainian side anymore, even
though I'm pretty sure that'swhere I got this luxurious hair,
um, anyways.
So, uh, yeah, like the cabbageand the potatoes in the in the
brine oh my god, it's just sodamn good.
Oh, the cabbage and the and thepotatoes in the brine, oh my
god, it's just so damn good.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
Oh, the cabbage and the and the potatoes in the
brine, oh my god.
So let me just start off thisby saying that I never even ate
corned beef, cabbage andpotatoes until I met you I love
that I mean I had I.
I think I might have had cornedbeef, right sure, pastrami.
I think I had that for sure,Like in a sandwich, but I didn't
(46:15):
even know.
Like we didn't do that back inFranklin County, we didn't do
cabbage and potatoes.
The closest thing we came toeat to something like that was
my mom always made sausage,green beans and potatoes.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Right.
Speaker 3 (46:29):
And just like baked in a casserole, and sometimes
she would use like regularsausage, but other times
sometimes she would use kielbasa, kielbasa, kielbasa.
Can we get an officialinterpretation there?
Speaker 2 (46:41):
no, um it's kielbasa, it's kielbasa, kielbasa.
But we say like, I say kielbasakielbasa.
Speaker 3 (46:51):
No, I know, but I think that's the proper way to
say it.
We need to get into this.
I'm going to research theproper Kielbasa Kielbasa.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Kielbasa, kielbasa.
Speaker 3 (47:03):
Kielbasa.
I'd like some kielbasa, please.
You remember that Tim Memeadows the ladies man.
Yes, I do, it's a lady, I'lltake some covalfie we're not big
drinkers, so we're not, I mean.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
So will we do a green beer on saint patty's day?
Speaker 3 (47:27):
probably not I don't ever do any beer.
I I mean, I do beer, but I onlydo.
Well, I shouldn't say that theonly beer product that I'm
drinking, that's not a smallbrewer.
You know what I mean, Like anIPA or something.
The only thing that I the onlycanned like national beer that I
(47:51):
am ever drinking for anycircumstance, is yingling like.
I don't drink green beer, Idon't drink this on this day,
this on that day.
I want yingling.
Speaker 2 (48:01):
That's what I like have you ever done, guinness?
Speaker 3 (48:05):
yeah, it's disgusting .
Yeah, I don't, it's nasty I'vedone the irish carbon and I love
a good thick beer.
You you know what I mean.
I love IPAs, like you know me,I love those things.
I love a good hop.
Speaker 1 (48:17):
I love a good, whatever else it is.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
But I cannot do.
I can't do Guinness, it's justnasty.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Yeah, I can't either.
No, I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (48:29):
I'd be in shit out of luck if that's all there was.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
And we can't bring up .
Speaker 3 (48:32):
And the Irish can kiss my ass.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
We cannot bring up St Paddy's Day without bringing up
State Paddy's Day.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
The one time we got trapped.
So State College does their ownthing.
It's called State Paddy's Dayand it must be like on a
Saturday around the Thanksgivingyeah.
No, around St Patrick's Day.
Yeah, thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (48:55):
It sounded like you were going to say Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (48:58):
But we were just out driving around, we were having a
good old time, and we ended updriving into State College.
Who knows how we got there,because we drive all around and
somehow we turned down this onestreet and next, next thing you
know, there was like 20,000students marching down the
street.
We're engulfed in a wave ofpeople.
(49:19):
We can't go forward, can't backup, can't go side to side.
We couldn't do anything.
We're like what's?
We got stuck in a town, statecollege is what.
Six blocks long, right, and wegot stuck for like two and a
half hours because we couldn'tmove, because it was just a
throng of people just walkingaround.
Yeah, just never again always beaware when you're going to
(49:42):
state college.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
We're in march of state patty's day yeah, texas
state patty's day is happeningbecause you're gonna you too
could get cut stock.
What else?
Oh, the last thing I have on myagenda and then we can wrap it
up.
So I saw this video on TikTokthis week where I so I love
(50:03):
following like the lore onTikTok, like the ghost.
Speaker 3 (50:06):
Oh, I love the Lord.
Like the lore law like the lorelodge.
Yeah, like lore, law yeah lorelodge yeah, like lore laws yeah.
Speaker 2 (50:13):
No, I know, I know like yes, and one of the
creators told a story the otherday what was?
Oh?
So there's an app calledrandonautica and it's like a
geocaching app where you tellthem I didn't look at the app
yet, but you put in your intentof what your like vibe is for
(50:36):
the day, or whatever, so you canput in like scary as the intent
and it'll take you to likescary Head's asylum, right, or
something Right.
So, um, I it's.
I'm going to have to do alittle bit more digging because
apparently this app is takingpeople to really scary places
(50:56):
and I can't tell if it's a setup, right.
Speaker 3 (50:59):
What would be?
Some like you're showing up tobe murdered.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
Right Like one.
People went to an abandonedhouse and the girl actually fell
through the floor while theywere creeping around in there.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
Who would allow this?
Speaker 2 (51:10):
Right, that's what I'm saying, so like I need to do
a little bit more digging onthis, but it reminded me of my
most favorite scavenger hunt ofall, which was kind of like
geocaching on steroids, kind ofnot.
Speaker 3 (51:21):
it was really fun back during covid yeah, during
covid we got wrapped into one ofthe weirdest contests with some
of the weirdest people youwould ever meet.
Speaker 1 (51:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (51:36):
With good intentions, but the whole thing was a shit
show.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
It was a shit show.
Speaker 3 (51:40):
So this guy that invented Jelly Bellies, david
Klein the candy man, go watchhim.
There's a documentary about him.
I'm not going to go down thatwhole rabbit hole.
He invented Jelly Bellies.
He sold it.
He went on to make othercandies.
He's like a candy wizard.
He is the real life.
William F Wonka, yeah, and he'sinvented many candies.
(52:05):
He has little midgets that areorange that follow him around
and help him do things.
Oh no, that's not him.
He has a couple of people thathelp him.
They're not orange that helphim, we don't know what shape
they are, but he is blueberryshaped.
He had a contest where he wasgoing to give away a candy
(52:27):
factory If you it was called agolden ticket challenge and
there was.
So there was treasure, treasure.
I say treasure hidden in eachstate was going to do a battle
and then there was going to beone.
If you won the state one, ifyou found the state treasure,
you got five thousand dollars.
(52:49):
And so kind of like the book,the secret, that that's what
it's called, right, not thesecret that we always talk about
.
Speaker 2 (52:58):
Not the Rhonda Byrne secret, but the secret.
Speaker 3 (53:00):
That's the treasure hunt the secret, the treasure
hunt.
Yeah, it's very similar to this.
Where there's you were, therewas each state, there was a
series of clues.
You had to pay, I think it was.
What is it 50 bucks orsomething for tickets.
Speaker 2 (53:13):
It was it 50 bucks or something for tickets, only 50
bucks for the entry fee.
So we ended up where we livedat the time.
We were actually able to enterboth Maryland and Pennsylvania
and we could have actuallyentered Virginia and West
Virginia, but that was right,but yeah, I mean you have to be
able to drive all over the placein these places and have time
right, because you have to beable to cover the whole state if
, in fact, you Right, becausethe clues could lead you to
(53:34):
anything and they were prettyvague.
Speaker 3 (53:37):
And we were partnered with my brother and his wife.
Speaker 2 (53:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (53:42):
And we were working together.
You were allowed to work asteams.
Speaker 2 (53:46):
So we covered both half of the states.
They covered the east half ofthe state.
Speaker 3 (53:51):
We did Maryland first .
So that gave us a practice runand uh, like we were out in
western maryland they were over,like down around the city and
stuff.
So like we were like all overthe place and you know,
investigating clues where wethought this might be.
And well then pennsylvania cameand a whole Maryland got solved
(54:12):
pretty quickly.
There was an issue with thefirst time.
They had to do it again, do asecond location.
It got solved in a few hours.
Some of them were really quick.
Pennsylvania's went the wholeday.
Nobody got it.
This is like a Saturday Sunday.
We actually came up here to thehouse that we're in right now.
Our house, but at the time washer sister's house for a party.
(54:36):
We were up here and we started.
We noticed something in in thepicture.
There was a picture of the clue.
So we knew that if we couldfigure out where we thought it
was, that we might be able touse this kind of visual clue to
figure this out.
And I don't even know how itreally happened, to be honest
(55:01):
with you.
They released a second cluebecause nobody found the first
right.
Speaker 2 (55:06):
So we were already looking at the picture and we
had a rough idea of where in thestate we wanted to go then.
So the second clue saidsomething about bombs that don't
kill, or something like thatbath bomb and it was bath bombs
and I remember I was sitting onthe steps out here and I was
(55:26):
like I wonder if it's bath bombsand then, like, as we said,
that your brother texted us andsaid that they believed it was
in bath.
Speaker 3 (55:35):
They thought that this other clue led up to this
at a park there and we're like,oh my goodness, so sure enough.
I Googled images of this parkand there underneath I could see
it ever so slightly, somethingthat was in the corner of the
picture of where it was, and Iwas like that's where it is, get
there right now, go get it.
And we won the five thousanddollars we kind of did it was
(55:59):
awesome it was so fun.
Speaker 2 (56:02):
I if I I a lot of credit to the creators of the um
of the clues stephanie 30 acresin a mobile yes yeah, now it's
stephanie, 30 acres, but yeah,like it was.
What a fantastic concept.
Administratively they could.
Speaker 3 (56:24):
Yeah, administratively it could have
been run a little bit better,but like it felt like it was so
fun because it was just likewe're doing it.
Speaker 2 (56:33):
No, I wish that they did another one now that I have
socials and everything like that, because for the people that
had socials, they were likebroadcasting.
Speaker 3 (56:40):
And it was during COVID, so people were, it was
getting people out.
Speaker 2 (56:43):
Yeah, and you were exploring outside without
bothering people.
You were going.
Speaker 3 (56:48):
Yeah, you were.
I mean, none of the clues wereinside.
I don't think like everythingwas outside at a public place
like a park or you know whatever, but it was like in a public
area that you had access.
Speaker 2 (57:01):
You didn't like have to you with our own little
scavenger hunt across the planet, but, anyways, the only one we
didn't get is Meow Death Gray.
Speaking of which, listeners,if any of you have experienced
(57:25):
this, we have a cat who likes towatch TV, and I mean, she
watches it, she watches it.
Speaker 3 (57:32):
We've had many cats that'll look at a TV if they
hear like a meow or somethinglike that.
But when I tell you, this catwill settle into an episode of
the Mentalist with me likeyou've never seen.
And I mean she's watchingBecause you can see her head
following everything on thescreen.
Man, she loves bones, she lovespsych, she loves monk.
(57:52):
She loves Bones, she lovesPsyche, she loves Monk.
Speaker 2 (57:56):
She loves my.
Speaker 3 (57:56):
Cat From Hell, my Cat From Hell.
She loves anything.
David Attenborough, nationalGeographic.
Speaker 2 (58:02):
She now loves Dr.
What's his name?
Dr Jeffrey.
Speaker 3 (58:05):
No, Dr Jeffrey.
Speaker 2 (58:07):
Yeah, dr Jeffrey, she loves Dr Jeffrey.
Speaker 3 (58:09):
Anything with animals she loves.
What started this, though?
The reason that we even sawthis?
Because Men in Black oh right,that's exactly.
The galaxy's, on Orion's belt,that cat was meowing around and
she just happened to be while wewere watching it and started
paying attention to this cat andthen, ever since then, she's
(58:30):
been hooked on TV.
Speaker 2 (58:31):
It's the funny thing.
Speaker 3 (58:32):
Men in Black got her.
She's a curious little.
We'll put a video in at the endof this, yeah.
Yeah, we'll put that in.
Speaker 2 (58:40):
So I mean that's about it, babe, unless I mean
next week is going to be.
We are just it's fast moving.
All I'm saying is June iscoming quickly upon us, too
quickly I haven't picked orpacked one box yet.
Too quickly I've moved no lessthan 30 times in my life.
(59:00):
Per se, I might say I'm anexpert at it at this point, at
bossing.
Speaker 3 (59:07):
At telling me how to move stuff.
Yes, she is an expert at thatVery, very good.
Speaker 2 (59:14):
There has to be a delegator in the group, alright.
Well, if nobody's told you guysthis week, stay trashy.

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
