(00:04):
This is Mick West. You're listeningto the Basement Hangout. You can't be
back, Bob and Chad, what'sup you beautiful bastards. Welcome to the
(00:29):
Baseman Hangout. Coming to you fromsomewhere in American suburbia. Might have the
chatting with me as always is Boband Bobby. Yeah, tires are very
low. Tires are very low.What does that mean? Air's leaking?
Son? What do you mean inmy vehicle? The tires keep leaking air?
(00:52):
And I don't know why. Ithought that you've had that for a
while. I have, but it'sbeen it's been worse recently. So you're
still just refilling them? Yeah?I gotta really as like German air pump.
Yeah, so just spend more moneyon it's like my fourth pump instead
of new times. Yeah, yeah, cheaper if you just got a new
time. No, I think myrims are bent. So they what it
(01:15):
is, they have to like meltthem. They would melt the rims.
Is that what happens? Yeah?They got to melt like so no matter
how new my tire is, they'restill gonna leak air some like two of
my tires. Oh shit, didyou get the did you get your other
car fixed, the one that hitthe deer? It still has the damage.
Still getting quotes, still getting quotes, Whyeah, don't know, just
(01:41):
lazy. No, the quotes arelike a lot. So I'm trying to
get lower. Yeah, but youhave but you have insurance to pay.
I know, but isn't it justfive hundred dollars for you no matter what?
Well, if you keep having claims, your insurance goes up. Oh
so you're trying to avoid a claim. No, no, no, I'm
gonna do a claim. But ifthe claim can be like two grand cheaper,
it doesn't hit you. So I'mgonna pay that shit for the next
like I don't know how many years, you know, like in increase in
(02:05):
your insurance. Yeah, so I'mleaving like the dent with deer hair in
it. So so you're just stillgetting quotes. Yeah, I need to
get two more. I got oneand it was like seven grand. I
need to get Holy shit, Yeah, it's fuckers. And that's just a
side panel or is there a mirrorgone or what they claim? There's more
(02:27):
damage than you can see. Ohon the frame. I don't even don't
I don't know really, I didn'treally look at it. I was like,
fuck that, I'm gonna go doa different So you've only gone to
one quote in all this time.Again they say they'd be three weeks without
a car, which that means rentalcar with through insurance. I don't think
they'll cover three weeks. Yeah,I don't even know. I think my
insurance was, which is Geico wouldcover max seven days. So that's another
(02:52):
issue. See your wife's driving aroundwith a busted ass car, so it
doesn't look that bad. That's thething. You just see some if you
look closely, you can see somedeer hair and like a little like uh,
it's not even a gash. It'slike it opened and then closed again.
But there's deer hair in it.Okay, so just rocking deer hair.
So the the dent's not really abig problem. It doesn't seem to
(03:15):
be, but they seem they seemto think it is. Some of the
car acts normal. Otherwise it doesvibrate slight slightly, okay, so it's
got to have it. But thisis not the car with the bent rims,
so it's your truck. It's sothe rims don't vibrate, but it's
like the like there's like a dentin where the tire would seal. But
(03:37):
that is in your wife's car.No, No, in my truck.
So they're balanced. But I pumpthem up every like three to five days.
Okay, if it's cold, ifit's hot, cold, hot,
cold, hot cold. If it'shot, it goes like mumpings down.
Yeah. Oh really, yeah,I don't know. Interesting because rubber expands
and contracts, you know. Yeah. Yeah. I flew back from San
(03:58):
Antonio last night and I was actuallywe had a connection through Houston, and
so from Houston to our airport herelocally, I get on the plane.
I'm like, damn, this isa nice plane. We flew United,
and I'm like, what model isthis? It looks all new and modern
(04:21):
and somewhat spacious. Seven thirty sevenMax seven seven fucking max. I thought
they decommissioned that. That's so Ididn't even I'm like, what what model
plane is this? Right? SoI'm like, let me look at the
the the card that has like theemergency infil on it, because it always
(04:42):
has the model near the throwerbag.Yeah, so I pull it out,
I look at it and it's seventhirty seven Max. Eight slash nine and
I'm like, what the fuck I'mon a seven thirty seven Max. Yeah,
you might know that, dude.I started thinking about, like my
family, and I think they justfired the girl. I have enough life
(05:03):
insurance for them to survive. DidI leave like shit in my drawer that
I don't want anyone finding? Youknow what I'm saying, Send me a
text like this is where everything Ineed taking out of it. I was
all worried, dude. I waslike, holy shit. So we're taxiing
and I'm I'm my iPhone up andI'm googling seven thirty seven Max, like
(05:25):
what's the latest. I didn't evenknow that. Just in the last couple
of months. Yea, they firedthe guy who was ahead of that.
An Alaska Airlines flight took off andwas climbing at like fourteen thousand feet the
door fucking blue off. I sawthat and it had to make an emergency
landing. And this is two yearsafter or three years after the last couple
(05:48):
like two really major issues. SoI'm reading more. I'm reading more,
and I'm like about to go tomy death. I can't believe they're still
flying this shit. And I knowI had sort of vaguely remembered what happened
in the past, but I didn'tknow all the details. So as we're
taxiing, I'm reading the fucking doyou know everything that happened? I watched
(06:11):
documentaries yet, like, well,the pilots didn't know how to fly it,
dude, it is so messed up, man. So they what they
did was, and you may alreadyknow this, but what they did was
because they wanted the seven thirty sevenMax to be able to fly into and
out of smaller airports, So theymoved the wings forward and lowered the engines,
(06:33):
which somehow lets it take off ata steeper angle with less runway.
But what happens is, because ofthat new configuration, the nose while it's
flying could have a tendency under certainconditions to point up, and if it
points up too much, the planewill stall. So Boeing installed that MCAZ.
(06:55):
Yeah, that's the pre system,but they didn't want the piles that
to train. Well. Yeah,so the MCAST system would detect that the
nose is pointing up and automatically pointit down. And it was relying on
a single sensor that was detecting thenose pointing up. But the sensor was
faulty in those two planes, sothe plane was flying normally, the sensor
(07:19):
went faulty, thought the nose waspointing up, so it automatically points the
nose down, which turned the planeinto a nose dive. And the pilots
had no training and didn't know whatthe fuck was going on. So they're
pulling on the thing trying to getthe plane up. It's fighting against them,
pushing the nose back down, andthey lost and it fucking nose dived
(07:42):
into the ground, two of them. So then I'm reading something like almost
five hundred people total died in thosetwo crashes. We call them souls in
the airline industrip. But yes,yeah, So I continue reading, and
I see that Boing didn't train anybody. Well, the airlines didn't want a
(08:03):
new plane of their if it requiredpilot like extensive training, so they hit
it in the instruction manual, right, So what happened was exactly what you're
saying. Because it was a seventhirty seven model that was basically repurposed,
they could deploy it without doing theextensive training on a brand new model,
save money, and they didn't trainthe pilots properly on this MCAST system.
(08:26):
A lot of them didn't even knowit existed, right, so when it
happened, they had no idea whatto do or what was going on.
I mean, it's so messed up, dude. So did your cell you're
sing gonna go out and you likewigged out? Or do you connect the
WiFi and paane? So we weretaxing for a while, so I read
all the stuff right before we wakedoff, and then we took off and
(08:48):
I'm like, oh shit, Imight die on this flight. But you
know, it's so fucked up whatthey did, man. So yeah,
this I saw this today the newsBoeing Company fired the head of its seven
thirty seven Max aircraft program today.So unbelievable. Man, I'm so happy
to be here. Yeah damn,I wasn't sure, man. Yeah,
(09:13):
that's so. Did you tell thepeople sitting with you like I was sitting
Hey, dude, I was sittingnext to my coworker and I did.
I was like, well, Isaid to him, Damn, this is
a nice this is a nice plane. What's going on? Like the plane
out there was a piece of junk, like old like small ass seats no
technology. This thing was all litup blue like this studio and it was
(09:35):
like all beautiful, Like, damn, what is this? He's like,
yeah, I don't know. AndI pulled the card out and I'm like,
your hearts seven thirty seven mass He'slike, holy shit, are you
serious? Damn uh. He literallysent a note to our other coworkers who
were at this meeting with us inSan Antonio and said, well, but
(09:58):
you guys are gonna have to writethe meeting notes because we were not gonna
make it damn. Because yeah,I know, they decommissioned them that and
today I just saw that they firedthat guy and I'd never heard of him
saying. So they grounded back whenthe planes crashed, They grounded them for
like six months or something until theycould do the training, fix the issue,
(10:18):
do the training and all that kindof stuff. Then they let them
go again. And then this thinghappened recently where a door blew off.
Yeah, so that's not because ofthe m cast. And I'm no,
that wasn't the m CAST. Iwas reading the laundry list of issues that
that fucking seven thirty seven Max hashad, and it is unbelievable. It's
(10:39):
shit like the wiring harnesses for thehydraulics were moved too close together. They're
supposed to be redundant. If onefails for some reason, like a fault,
it's quite possible that fault will affectthe other harness, which is supposed
to be the redundant one. They'llboth go out and then you'll have no
hydraulics. The bolts on the doorweren't tight enough and weren't the right speck,
(11:01):
so the door blew off at theeight fourteen thousand feet or whatever.
And the list goes on and onand on and on, and I'm sitting
there going why is this thing inthe air? But you're like, dang,
this is nice. I know right, look at the blue lights exactly.
There's a screen in front of myface. But I was, you
(11:24):
know, the only thing I canthink to make me feel better is the
pilots must know all this shit,yeah, and they're okay flying it right,
And you made it so it wasa very smooth ride, comfortable.
So you're pro seven thirty seven Max. I'm not eight slash nine. I
am not. As a matter offact, next time I book any flights,
I'm avoiding any seven thirty seven.I'm serious because you're paying the attack
(11:46):
on board. No, because ofthe history, which is fucking piss poor.
The fact that, you know,let's be honest, the airlines they
invested billions of dollars in those planes. Yeah, they're not going to just
dump it and Boeing's not going togive them their money back. So from
the documentary, what they showed Boeingworkers like the culture used to be,
you call out something, they fixit, and now if you call out
(12:09):
something you get fired. Yeah,I'm telling you, next time i'm booking
flights, i am not taking aseven thirty seven Max to give a fu.
So the issue maybe in everything Boeingproduces now, is my point.
Well, I was thinking about that. I was thinking about the quality of
construction and what it used to be. And you know, we talk about
shit like our appliances and stuff,and we always say off hand, oh,
(12:31):
they don't make it like they usedto. But maybe that's going into
everything. So the the air Bus, which is a French company, doesn't
have these kinds of issues as faras we know. I'm I'm done with
seven thirty seven Max, dude,real, Yeah, I believe I'm not.
I'm not I'm changing my flight.So back back when the crashes happened,
(12:56):
they grounded them for like six ornine months, and then they let
them fly in. They were actuallyallowing people who realized it was a seven
thirty seven Max and had booked theirflight, they were allowing them to change
it, to cancel their flight andget a flight credit so that they could
change to a different model. Andwhat's really fucked up is that the FAA,
(13:18):
which was has always been the goldstandard, so every other country around
the world, if the FAA greenlighted a model, all the other country's
FAA equivalents did too. Just likeblanket boom, we accept it. After
that happened, they stopped doing that. They now do their own inspections regardless
of the FAA, because the FAAfucked up, fucked up, and we're
(13:41):
like, yeah, you want touse the seven thirty seven, We've already
okayed that, Okay, go ahead. They didn't do the full on inspection
as if this was a new model, which it basically was. And both
those crashes were not US correct.Yeah they were Asian airlines. I don't
remember which country countries, but yeah, dude, I was not happy.
(14:03):
Yeah, thank god you made it. Damn yeah, thank god. And
I know there's probably hundreds of thoseflights now, but I mean it just
takes the one Yeah, they sayit's like one in I think one hundred
and eleven million or something chance you'llcrash. Yeah, but that was before
the seven thirty seven Max. Nowthat the odds are slightly higher, I
(14:26):
think I don't even know if you'rein one of those planes. Shit,
I don't like it. Well,yeah, like you said, the pilots
are no the issues and they're riskingtheir life. I would assume, so,
but what do I know, mwhat if they still haven't been trained,
They're like, shit, this isseven thirty seven Max. It's my
nose. Di What do we do? I don't know, Just pray,
(14:50):
drink? Yeah, I don't know, man, I'm not I'm definitely not
taking my family on flight on aseven thirty seven Max until somebody tells me
all the issues are one hundred percentresults of you need another country to bless.
(15:11):
I think I need fucking aeroflots fromRussia to tell me that this shit
is acceptable. I don't know,man, Yeah, that's scary. So
that was my night last night.Yeah, well, thank god you made
it and you had a screen infront of your face. Well, I
was watching movies on my computer thewhole time, So you don't use the
movies on the screen. No,they're free now, I think. But
(15:33):
you know, I use Bluetooth formy like noise canceling headphones, and that
doesn't work with the screen, soI usually have my iPad, but I
forgot my iPad on this trip,so I was using my computer. You
can't plug up with a wire,you can, but I don't have one
because I just used the bluetooth.So even though the screens are beautiful,
you don't use they're not beautiful.You said they were beautiful. It was
(15:54):
all lit up and no, no, no, the plane itself was having
blue lights. Yeah, they're calmingwhen your nose diving. Yeah. They
eventually turned the blue lights off,which I even like better. I like
it to be super dark and justyeah, so what movie did you watch?
It was this new movie with NicholasCage. He was all fucked up,
man, I don't even remember whatit was called, but he's like
(16:18):
this loser professor and all of asudden, everybody starts dreaming about him.
But like sexually or well, it'sall over the place. And so like
the first thing happens his daughter,his teenage daughter comes to him, and
then I have this dream where likethings are falling from the sky and you're
just standing there doing nothing, andI'm like, Dad, what are you
(16:41):
doing? Like help? He's likeeverything's fine and just keeps going about his
business. And he's like, oh, that's a weird dream. And then
like one of his students comes andshe's like, I have had this weird
dream. You're in it every night. There's like an earthquake happening and everything's
going bonkers, and you just walkthrough scene and look at me like nothing's
(17:02):
happening, and then walk away.And over time, all these people are
coming to him, like everyone insociety is having these dreams, and it's
all It has him in it everytime, always walking around nonchalantly. That's
what was it a premise of themovie. Was it a good movie or
not? No, he's just tryingto pay for his new wife. I
mean it was okay, but it'sone of those movies where you're not quite
(17:23):
sure what you just watched or whatthe purpose was. M hm. Eventually
it got morbid because the he becamea celebrity because everybody was dreaming about him
and he got popular, which madehim feel good because he was kind of
a loser before that. But eventuallyit got morbid because of the dreams changed
and it it turned into him likekilling people in the dream Yeah, like
(17:45):
the people who had the dreams.He would come with a hammer and like
bashed their head in. One woman, he raped her, like all kinds
of morbid ass shit in their dreams. So now everybody hates him and he's
ostracized from society. It was likea Twilight Zone episode. But there's no
like end reason why I fell asleep. Okay, so take that for what
(18:07):
it means. Yeah, I donot watch it. I wouldn't. I
can't recommend it, honestly, becauseI'm not quite sure what the point was.
I think it was supposed to belike a commentary on our social media
viral you know, thing that wehave going on in our society and hon
turn and like how you can bea celebrity at any moment and then be
(18:30):
hated at any moment. But whogives a fuck? Yeah you know what
I mean? He does he?I mean, whoever wrote it cares,
but I don't. I don't careabout any celebrity. I mean, I
think he's just signing up to getchecks because he used to be way bigger.
But this was more of a like, he's done some shitty ass movies
(18:52):
like yeah, exactly like that.He's done many like that. This was
I would say more legit, butthat doesn't mean it was good. It
was Okay, are you gonna watchthe ending or not? No, so
you're done with it. I'm done. Yeah, like you've tied him with
seven thirty seven Max, You're donewith Nicholas Cage. Yeah. Now,
(19:12):
every time I see Nicholas Cage,I'm gonna like have a fit. Yeah
seven Max. Although he isn't oneof my favorite movies of all time,
Raising Arizona, I like the onewhere he sold weapons. Yeah, that
was a pretty decent movie. Thatwas my first Blu ray disc. But
Raising Arizona is one of the bestmovies of all time. Of course,
(19:32):
he was like twenty something years oldin that movie. But that's where they
had like a kid kid named Arizonaa little girl. Yeah, yeah,
where they stole they stole her.Coen Brothers my favorite Coen Brothers is my
absolute favorite movie. Directors, writers, producers, et cetera. They have
all the good shit. As youknow, they're the ones who made The
(19:55):
Big Lebowski, which is my favoritemovie of all time. Yeah, that
is your favorite movie all time.Hence the tattoos, Hence the picture over
the bar in the base. Yeah, that is the dude of the dude
drinking his white Russian and white Russian. So anyway, what else is going
on? We have kas Clark comingon in nineteen minutes to give us an
(20:18):
update on the Penturch Pentrich Penturk incident. Penturk. Yes, you did it
correct. Yeah, that's gonna bequite interesting looking forward to that. And
it's midnight her time. Maybe she'sbeen drinking, she's starting at midnight.
I don't think she drinks because ofthe aliens. I just think she doesn't
drink because she told you that.You just think that she always seems very
(20:42):
level headed and calm, you know, because she's drinking. She ain't.
She doesn't show up and be like, yee, you know what I mean?
So I think I think that's justher demeanor. But do you remember
that one time we had a comedianon and we were pretty sure that comedian
was like on drugs and they didn'twant to come on. That was one
(21:02):
of our early episodes. No,we had to like call them, like,
hey, coming on, and shewas like he she can't remember which
it was she. I didn't wantto say that, but she was like
in the kitchen, like in thefetal position on camera, Lockey, I
think you're exaggerating now, No,remember there was a homeless encampment outside of
her apartment. Yeah, and itmade her super nervous when she was on
(21:23):
drugs. Yeah, it turned outto be a barely decent interview. So
did they make it? Are theybig? Now? No? Idea never
followed up. That was the earlydays, dude. I think that was
like episode fifteen or something. Ijust remember that was the first guest who
like sometimes guests don't show up,and we actually called that guest and they
ended up coming on anyway. Yeah, and maybe they shouldn't have. You
(21:45):
know, you realize we're on episodeuh one seventy seven. What are we
gonna do for episode one eight seven? Like a murder one eight seven murder
porn? We could documentary? Yeah, we could. Yeah, it's hard
to believe that we're on episode oneseventy seven. Dude, yeah, damn.
(22:07):
Do we still have the recording fromour very first episode. I'm sure
you do because you sent it tome where we just recorded on an iPhone
in my garage, all drunk.I could be a bonus episode for our
our Yeah, that'd be good ourmembers. I remember I had forgotten that
you said you're putting your phone ontop of the fridge when we're all drunk
in your garage, and next dayyou send this me on like, what
(22:29):
the fuck you recorded our whole conversation. It was fucked up, dude.
I think we were super drawn,Yes, just talking all kinds of nonsense.
Well, that's that's how the podcastthought it. That's how the podcast
started. I think the VIP memberswould appreciate that. I'll try to dig
that up and put it out.Well, do you remember in the beginning
you had to bleep like or cutYeah, yeah, three out of three
(22:52):
hours, like two hours. Yeah, but just f WD f WD f
ford F word F word. Yeah. We've we've lightened up on that,
so now we can just do mothermotherfucker. It's an overload of emotions,
(23:14):
all anger. I think it wasCOVID you know, COVID had us all
confused and scary. It was duringCOVID that we started. Yeah, like,
at any given moment, we couldhave killed each other with COVID.
Yeah, just down there, likebreathing on each other because we didn't know
if it was from surface area oryeah, you know, urine fucking pellets
(23:37):
in the air, you're breathing.Yeah, that's true. I remember that
no one knew what the fuck like, people are getting shit in the mail,
wiping it off. I remember wehad we had a small party here
during COVID, and you remember Danteand his wife were here. And I
got a phone call from my coworkerwho supposed, Yeah, I was fucked
up, and he was like,I just got word it's going down.
(24:00):
We're on lockdown any moment now,nothing's going to be available. I recommend
you go to the store and buyas much shit as you can. Yeah,
And we were all drunk, Soall three families like ran out to
the grocery storeroom like hoarded a bunchof food. No. Yeah, the
party immediate and then we were allat the same grocery store, like running
down the aislese like I need tenloads of bread, like Tres Honey,
(24:26):
Corystrita's and then nothing happened. Yeah, that was funny. I actually was
mentioning that to someone last weekend.Is that right? Because I don't know
what movie think of it, butI can remember going back to that guy
being like, dude, where doyou get your information from? He's like,
I was just fucking with you.Yeah, I have an inside source.
(24:51):
They changed their mind at the lastmoment. Yeah, but you were
safe just in case. Yeah,we had to throw a lot of shit
away. When I told the story, the guy was like, oh,
they were probably fucking with you,and I was like, yeah, I
don't even know. No, hedefinitely wasn't because he sent it to a
bunch of us at work, andlike I said, he supposedly plugged into
the community. So so if hecalled you like this weekend, would you
(25:15):
listen to him or be like,I know, I don't think I would
exactly the boy who Cried Wolf,Yeah exactly, and that would be the
one real one. Yeah, likeshit, we're out of everything. Yeah,
but it was. It was interestingtimes, man. So how do
you feel about the shot now thatyou've had it? I wish I didn't
work beyond. I wish you didn'tget it. Yeah, yeah, I
(25:40):
feel the same way. I don'tknow. I don't know. I got
my seventh booster, but I'm allin, But I wish I wouldn't.
I actually saw this conspiracy on Redditthe other day where they were saying that
it's the fourth booster that activates somefive G that you are now like one
(26:02):
hundred percent under the control of thecabal. No. But I saw some
dude who works in a Morgan Hesupposedly pulls these like oh yeah, I
saw that, like white fibrous Yeah, like fibris shit that makes people die.
Yeah, yeah, I saw theis that? But I mean,
how does he know that that's fromthe COVID shot? Don't dude, who
(26:23):
knows? That's the thing. Youcan't believe what you see, man,
true, But I was still like, I've never like what the fuck?
Yeah, that was messed up,Like I immediately had a pain in my
left leg, like fibrous tissue inmy vein, freaking trash. That's a
(26:44):
classic. I haven't heard that ina while. Oh that was the wonder
what that guy's up to these days. He died of COVID. He ran
for Congress. He didn't get thejab. He ran for Congress and remember
that, Yeah, yeah, thatcrazy freaking talking to teachers right that.
Yeah, he went to a schoolI guess counsel or whatever meeting and he
(27:11):
was all upset that they have thekids going to school with masks on.
What's funny is I'm looking at thepicture. He was yelling and he had
his mask on, probably because hewas required. Yeah. Yeah, so
but then he ran for Congress andlost. Well at least he took it
through, you know, he believedYeah, true, he wasn't just going
nuts at the PTA meeting. Hemay have been right, right. And
(27:33):
then you remember the dude who wasall upset about what we called things.
We can call them saucy nugs ortrash. Yes, what was he saying
that we should call things? Ithink he was just his point was this
all bullshit? You can call himwhatever the hell you want, call what
whatever you want. I can't remember. He was like just making a joke
out of things. Uh was itchicken fingers? Like why do we call
(27:53):
him chicken fingers when they're not fingers? He said, we can call them
saucy nugs or I don't remember butthat was a funny ass video. Well,
Ship, while we're going down memorylane, you remember this, yeah,
(28:15):
like YouTube fucking something two three thewater Bringer man. Yeah, I
wonder what he's up. I knowit's the water but his original screen name
was like something YouTube fucking chip buttertwo but three. Yeah, chip butter
tooth three. He was Chip buttertooth two three water bringer. Uh YouTube
YouTube chip butter tooth three. Idon't know who knows what he is now?
(28:37):
Yeah, I mean, Ship,is he even alive? Cum Dumpster
five? Oh my god, Idon't know about that. I'm sure he's
alive. Yeah, oh yeah,he's a survivor. We need to check
up on him. Maybe he'll comeback on. He's probably like a millionaire.
Now do you think it'd be aclassic episode to get him back on?
How would you find him? Heused to be on Instagram? Remember
(29:00):
you had those chicks come on too? Yes, and then they and then
they messaged us like you can't bearthis. Yeah, they were all like
lost to this sh So we hadto like edit everything they said out of
the episode. Yeah, well,because I think they had real jobs.
And he was like like uh.And then there was that one woman that
he was with who said that shewas a nephilim. Yes, I remember
(29:22):
she had spike, uh Dracula tea, Yeah, Dracula tea. She said
it's because I'm a nephelom. Shewasn't got a nephlm idiot. We've had
some interesting characters on this show,that's for sure. Do you remember this
I need to piss. Do youremember this? Yeah? The Asian massage
(29:42):
parlor music if you really need toif you think you need to pee,
but it's just not coming out.This is what you listened to. In
fact, I think I need topiss right now. But you would play
this when they had to pee,I think, yeah, yeah, like
on a few more minutes. Yeah, so, I mean you did piss
(30:06):
one time your pants during COVID.Remember that's when you started wearing the diaper.
Trying to remember it was you startedwearing de pens. I thought you
were the one who wore the diaper. I always joke to try to make
you feel better. But we shouldget Dante back on. Actually, I
agree, it's been a long time. I have been turned the ghost of
Dante. Yeah, we haven't seenhim in a while. He finally paid
(30:27):
out the NFL pool. I waslike waiting, like he said he was
gonna pay out the NFL pool lastweek, and I was waiting to gamble
my money away. And it wasSunday night at like a Sunday announcer.
I'm like, dude, are youever gonna fucking pay out the goddamn pool?
And he he's like, did youreceive monies? And I finally got
the money, so I got money. I didn't know I want anything,
(30:49):
Yeah you want, well, what'sfuck up you want? And then but
you quit playing for the last likeyeah, eight weeks right now? Yeah,
I didn't even know I want anything. Yeah you did good. You
tied like five out of five Ithink two weeks at least, and I
think I only got thirty five bucks, but I'll take it. Extra money,
you know, like almost too ordersof wings with extra ranch, all
(31:11):
flats, thank you, Dante smokemeats every day. I was, what
the fuck was? I was somewhereand got wings. Oh that place near
the ice rink on Valentine's. Ididn't order all flats like an idiot,
(31:33):
and then got fucking eleven out oftwelve. Drum, Oh jesus, what
did you do just eat. Iwas a little and my wife was like
say something. Then I'm like,I can't. You never say anything?
You just eat it like a littlebit. Yeah, I was, Yeah,
it was. I was super upset. Why didn't you say something?
What I was doing was looking around, like, who's the asshole? Who
were all times? Who had tocancel my ship? I mean, you
(31:56):
just got to stand up for yourrights. So yeah, but if you
do, you got to do itin the beginning. So I was all
about it way back. I thinkyou could have said. You could have
just said, hey, I gottwelve wings, and eleven of them are
drums. I would like a mix. Could you please just bring me like
six flats or five flats? So, but you know how there are drum
(32:17):
lovers and flat lovers. Yeah,so I'm thinking I pictured the Hispanic chef
in the back of I'm gonna hookthis dude up as Valentine's. I'm gonna
give him fucking mad drums because that'shis favorite. Yeah, but you could
have easily said of the waitress,can you just bring me five flats?
She probably would have done it.It was a man, but I mean
he was also a waitress. Hewas flustered. He seemed new. I
(32:38):
was like, I didn't want to, You're too nice man. It was
also they have happy hour, apparentlyit was for this place. It's almost
two dollars a wing. It's likeeighteen ninety nine for a pound, it
was ten dollars. So I alsowas like, hmm, yeah, but
you didn't enjoy it. Yeah,I hate them. I enjoyed that first
flat. The first flat was righton top of I'm like, oh god,
(32:59):
this is so much me. Andthen I looked down when on my
bone was sitting there with all thedrums, like, and I complained to
my wife on Valentine. So Iwas, you know, I didn't want
to. I didn't want to killthe It is funny that you went to
the wing place in Valentine's. Yes, this is my favorite. Obviously Valentine's
was for you. She's like,where do you want to go? I'm
not that hungry, Like I knowwhere I want to go, but the
(33:19):
wing place, that's funny, butI haven't. So the only time about
that issue is when I'm with youand you do all flats and I don't
say anything right and I've literally gotall drums and that I can accept because
I know you're gonna enjoy your flats. No, you need to ask for
all flats too, I know,but I feel like so. I didn't
realize why do you feel like anything? Because just to ask? I didn't
(33:40):
know it screws someone else until Iexperienced it, and then I didn't want
to do that to like the fuckingthis is a dog eat dog, dog
eat dog world. Motherfucker. Askfor what you want. Yeah, I
need to start doing that. Mymom always told me that what I was
thinking. If you don't ask,you don't receive. So I do enjoy
it. So I'm going to belike, all flats, but give me
two drums because I like a drumticket. That's too specific, bitch,
(34:01):
I like to have a drum.It's even more difficult. I know that's
the issue, but I like tohave at least one or two to get
the blue cheese and the bottle.You gotta do is say can I have
flats only? And they'll go yes, or they'll say, oh, it's
a two dollars up charge. Okay, what we do anyway? Yeah,
that's worth it. I don't knowwhy I always feel bad about that.
Io, why do you I picturea chicken they only have two flats,
(34:24):
and then I picture them and throwingthe rest of the whole chicken away,
like yeah, this is trash.Hey, I got a piss. We
got Ka's Clark coming in five minutes. Do you have very quick words of
wisdom? What are yours? Doyou have any real words? My words
of wisdom are, if you booka flight and it's a seven thirty seven
Max, cancel that shit, andis it free now or not? No?
(34:47):
In fact, let me, youknow, change my words of wisdom.
As you're booking, make sure youlook at the model airplane that it
is, and if it's a seventhirty seven Max, do not your who's
that flight? So I will sayin the same general, get the fucking
flight insurance. So I just hada flight to Minnesota and my son got
(35:09):
sick. I had to eat allthat ship for my son and the adult
ticket. Damn for two or forthe whole family? No, not only
two were going okay, I wasgonna be here like the whole weekend,
And then I was waiting to textyou like yeah, I'll be in the
basement if you're available, and Iwould have been like wings are being delivered
(35:36):
all right words of wisdom over theexpertly the passing of the thing, and
(38:07):
and and and
This is Mick West. You're listeningto the Basement Hangout. You can't be
back, Bob and Chad, what'sup you beautiful bastards. Welcome to the
(00:29):
Baseman Hangout. Coming to you fromsomewhere in American suburbia. Might have the
chatting with me as always is Boband Bobby. Yeah, tires are very
low. Tires are very low.What does that mean? Air's leaking?
Son? What do you mean inmy vehicle? The tires keep leaking air?
(00:52):
And I don't know why. Ithought that you've had that for a
while. I have, but it'sbeen it's been worse recently. So you're
still just refilling them? Yeah?I gotta really as like German air pump.
Yeah, so just spend more moneyon it's like my fourth pump instead
of new times. Yeah, yeah, cheaper if you just got a new
time. No, I think myrims are bent. So they what it
(01:15):
is, they have to like meltthem. They would melt the rims.
Is that what happens? Yeah?They got to melt like so no matter
how new my tire is, they'restill gonna leak air some like two of
my tires. Oh shit, didyou get the did you get your other
car fixed, the one that hitthe deer? It still has the damage.
Still getting quotes, still getting quotes, Whyeah, don't know, just
(01:41):
lazy. No, the quotes arelike a lot. So I'm trying to
get lower. Yeah, but youhave but you have insurance to pay.
I know, but isn't it justfive hundred dollars for you no matter what?
Well, if you keep having claims, your insurance goes up. Oh
so you're trying to avoid a claim. No, no, no, I'm
gonna do a claim. But ifthe claim can be like two grand cheaper,
it doesn't hit you. So I'mgonna pay that shit for the next
like I don't know how many years, you know, like in increase in
(02:05):
your insurance. Yeah, so I'mleaving like the dent with deer hair in
it. So so you're just stillgetting quotes. Yeah, I need to
get two more. I got oneand it was like seven grand. I
need to get Holy shit, Yeah, it's fuckers. And that's just a
side panel or is there a mirrorgone or what they claim? There's more
(02:27):
damage than you can see. Ohon the frame. I don't even don't
I don't know really, I didn'treally look at it. I was like,
fuck that, I'm gonna go doa different So you've only gone to
one quote in all this time.Again they say they'd be three weeks without
a car, which that means rentalcar with through insurance. I don't think
they'll cover three weeks. Yeah,I don't even know. I think my
insurance was, which is Geico wouldcover max seven days. So that's another
(02:52):
issue. See your wife's driving aroundwith a busted ass car, so it
doesn't look that bad. That's thething. You just see some if you
look closely, you can see somedeer hair and like a little like uh,
it's not even a gash. It'slike it opened and then closed again.
But there's deer hair in it.Okay, so just rocking deer hair.
So the the dent's not really abig problem. It doesn't seem to
(03:15):
be, but they seem they seemto think it is. Some of the
car acts normal. Otherwise it doesvibrate slight slightly, okay, so it's
got to have it. But thisis not the car with the bent rims,
so it's your truck. It's sothe rims don't vibrate, but it's
like the like there's like a dentin where the tire would seal. But
(03:37):
that is in your wife's car.No, No, in my truck.
So they're balanced. But I pumpthem up every like three to five days.
Okay, if it's cold, ifit's hot, cold, hot,
cold, hot cold. If it'shot, it goes like mumpings down.
Yeah. Oh really, yeah,I don't know. Interesting because rubber expands
and contracts, you know. Yeah. Yeah. I flew back from San
(03:58):
Antonio last night and I was actuallywe had a connection through Houston, and
so from Houston to our airport herelocally, I get on the plane.
I'm like, damn, this isa nice plane. We flew United,
and I'm like, what model isthis? It looks all new and modern
(04:21):
and somewhat spacious. Seven thirty sevenMax seven seven fucking max. I thought
they decommissioned that. That's so Ididn't even I'm like, what what model
plane is this? Right? SoI'm like, let me look at the
the the card that has like theemergency infil on it, because it always
(04:42):
has the model near the throwerbag.Yeah, so I pull it out,
I look at it and it's seventhirty seven Max. Eight slash nine and
I'm like, what the fuck I'mon a seven thirty seven Max. Yeah,
you might know that, dude.I started thinking about, like my
family, and I think they justfired the girl. I have enough life
(05:03):
insurance for them to survive. DidI leave like shit in my drawer that
I don't want anyone finding? Youknow what I'm saying, Send me a
text like this is where everything Ineed taking out of it. I was
all worried, dude. I waslike, holy shit. So we're taxiing
and I'm I'm my iPhone up andI'm googling seven thirty seven Max, like
(05:25):
what's the latest. I didn't evenknow that. Just in the last couple
of months. Yea, they firedthe guy who was ahead of that.
An Alaska Airlines flight took off andwas climbing at like fourteen thousand feet the
door fucking blue off. I sawthat and it had to make an emergency
landing. And this is two yearsafter or three years after the last couple
(05:48):
like two really major issues. SoI'm reading more. I'm reading more,
and I'm like about to go tomy death. I can't believe they're still
flying this shit. And I knowI had sort of vaguely remembered what happened
in the past, but I didn'tknow all the details. So as we're
taxiing, I'm reading the fucking doyou know everything that happened? I watched
(06:11):
documentaries yet, like, well,the pilots didn't know how to fly it,
dude, it is so messed up, man. So they what they
did was, and you may alreadyknow this, but what they did was
because they wanted the seven thirty sevenMax to be able to fly into and
out of smaller airports, So theymoved the wings forward and lowered the engines,
(06:33):
which somehow lets it take off ata steeper angle with less runway.
But what happens is, because ofthat new configuration, the nose while it's
flying could have a tendency under certainconditions to point up, and if it
points up too much, the planewill stall. So Boeing installed that MCAZ.
(06:55):
Yeah, that's the pre system,but they didn't want the piles that
to train. Well. Yeah,so the MCAST system would detect that the
nose is pointing up and automatically pointit down. And it was relying on
a single sensor that was detecting thenose pointing up. But the sensor was
faulty in those two planes, sothe plane was flying normally, the sensor
(07:19):
went faulty, thought the nose waspointing up, so it automatically points the
nose down, which turned the planeinto a nose dive. And the pilots
had no training and didn't know whatthe fuck was going on. So they're
pulling on the thing trying to getthe plane up. It's fighting against them,
pushing the nose back down, andthey lost and it fucking nose dived
(07:42):
into the ground, two of them. So then I'm reading something like almost
five hundred people total died in thosetwo crashes. We call them souls in
the airline industrip. But yes,yeah, So I continue reading, and
I see that Boing didn't train anybody. Well, the airlines didn't want a
(08:03):
new plane of their if it requiredpilot like extensive training, so they hit
it in the instruction manual, right, So what happened was exactly what you're
saying. Because it was a seventhirty seven model that was basically repurposed,
they could deploy it without doing theextensive training on a brand new model,
save money, and they didn't trainthe pilots properly on this MCAST system.
(08:26):
A lot of them didn't even knowit existed, right, so when it
happened, they had no idea whatto do or what was going on.
I mean, it's so messed up, dude. So did your cell you're
sing gonna go out and you likewigged out? Or do you connect the
WiFi and paane? So we weretaxing for a while, so I read
all the stuff right before we wakedoff, and then we took off and
(08:48):
I'm like, oh shit, Imight die on this flight. But you
know, it's so fucked up whatthey did, man. So yeah,
this I saw this today the newsBoeing Company fired the head of its seven
thirty seven Max aircraft program today.So unbelievable. Man, I'm so happy
to be here. Yeah damn,I wasn't sure, man. Yeah,
(09:13):
that's so. Did you tell thepeople sitting with you like I was sitting
Hey, dude, I was sittingnext to my coworker and I did.
I was like, well, Isaid to him, Damn, this is
a nice this is a nice plane. What's going on? Like the plane
out there was a piece of junk, like old like small ass seats no
technology. This thing was all litup blue like this studio and it was
(09:35):
like all beautiful, Like, damn, what is this? He's like,
yeah, I don't know. AndI pulled the card out and I'm like,
your hearts seven thirty seven mass He'slike, holy shit, are you
serious? Damn uh. He literallysent a note to our other coworkers who
were at this meeting with us inSan Antonio and said, well, but
(09:58):
you guys are gonna have to writethe meeting notes because we were not gonna
make it damn. Because yeah,I know, they decommissioned them that and
today I just saw that they firedthat guy and I'd never heard of him
saying. So they grounded back whenthe planes crashed, They grounded them for
like six months or something until theycould do the training, fix the issue,
(10:18):
do the training and all that kindof stuff. Then they let them
go again. And then this thinghappened recently where a door blew off.
Yeah, so that's not because ofthe m cast. And I'm no,
that wasn't the m CAST. Iwas reading the laundry list of issues that
that fucking seven thirty seven Max hashad, and it is unbelievable. It's
(10:39):
shit like the wiring harnesses for thehydraulics were moved too close together. They're
supposed to be redundant. If onefails for some reason, like a fault,
it's quite possible that fault will affectthe other harness, which is supposed
to be the redundant one. They'llboth go out and then you'll have no
hydraulics. The bolts on the doorweren't tight enough and weren't the right speck,
(11:01):
so the door blew off at theeight fourteen thousand feet or whatever.
And the list goes on and onand on and on, and I'm sitting
there going why is this thing inthe air? But you're like, dang,
this is nice. I know right, look at the blue lights exactly.
There's a screen in front of myface. But I was, you
(11:24):
know, the only thing I canthink to make me feel better is the
pilots must know all this shit,yeah, and they're okay flying it right,
And you made it so it wasa very smooth ride, comfortable.
So you're pro seven thirty seven Max. I'm not eight slash nine. I
am not. As a matter offact, next time I book any flights,
I'm avoiding any seven thirty seven.I'm serious because you're paying the attack
(11:46):
on board. No, because ofthe history, which is fucking piss poor.
The fact that, you know,let's be honest, the airlines they
invested billions of dollars in those planes. Yeah, they're not going to just
dump it and Boeing's not going togive them their money back. So from
the documentary, what they showed Boeingworkers like the culture used to be,
you call out something, they fixit, and now if you call out
(12:09):
something you get fired. Yeah,I'm telling you, next time i'm booking
flights, i am not taking aseven thirty seven Max to give a fu.
So the issue maybe in everything Boeingproduces now, is my point.
Well, I was thinking about that. I was thinking about the quality of
construction and what it used to be. And you know, we talk about
shit like our appliances and stuff,and we always say off hand, oh,
(12:31):
they don't make it like they usedto. But maybe that's going into
everything. So the the air Bus, which is a French company, doesn't
have these kinds of issues as faras we know. I'm I'm done with
seven thirty seven Max, dude,real, Yeah, I believe I'm not.
I'm not I'm changing my flight.So back back when the crashes happened,
(12:56):
they grounded them for like six ornine months, and then they let
them fly in. They were actuallyallowing people who realized it was a seven
thirty seven Max and had booked theirflight, they were allowing them to change
it, to cancel their flight andget a flight credit so that they could
change to a different model. Andwhat's really fucked up is that the FAA,
(13:18):
which was has always been the goldstandard, so every other country around
the world, if the FAA greenlighted a model, all the other country's
FAA equivalents did too. Just likeblanket boom, we accept it. After
that happened, they stopped doing that. They now do their own inspections regardless
of the FAA, because the FAAfucked up, fucked up, and we're
(13:41):
like, yeah, you want touse the seven thirty seven, We've already
okayed that, Okay, go ahead. They didn't do the full on inspection
as if this was a new model, which it basically was. And both
those crashes were not US correct.Yeah they were Asian airlines. I don't
remember which country countries, but yeah, dude, I was not happy.
(14:03):
Yeah, thank god you made it. Damn yeah, thank god. And
I know there's probably hundreds of thoseflights now, but I mean it just
takes the one Yeah, they sayit's like one in I think one hundred
and eleven million or something chance you'llcrash. Yeah, but that was before
the seven thirty seven Max. Nowthat the odds are slightly higher, I
(14:26):
think I don't even know if you'rein one of those planes. Shit,
I don't like it. Well,yeah, like you said, the pilots
are no the issues and they're riskingtheir life. I would assume, so,
but what do I know, mwhat if they still haven't been trained,
They're like, shit, this isseven thirty seven Max. It's my
nose. Di What do we do? I don't know, Just pray,
(14:50):
drink? Yeah, I don't know, man, I'm not I'm definitely not
taking my family on flight on aseven thirty seven Max until somebody tells me
all the issues are one hundred percentresults of you need another country to bless.
(15:11):
I think I need fucking aeroflots fromRussia to tell me that this shit
is acceptable. I don't know,man, Yeah, that's scary. So
that was my night last night.Yeah, well, thank god you made
it and you had a screen infront of your face. Well, I
was watching movies on my computer thewhole time, So you don't use the
movies on the screen. No,they're free now, I think. But
(15:33):
you know, I use Bluetooth formy like noise canceling headphones, and that
doesn't work with the screen, soI usually have my iPad, but I
forgot my iPad on this trip,so I was using my computer. You
can't plug up with a wire,you can, but I don't have one
because I just used the bluetooth.So even though the screens are beautiful,
you don't use they're not beautiful.You said they were beautiful. It was
(15:54):
all lit up and no, no, no, the plane itself was having
blue lights. Yeah, they're calmingwhen your nose diving. Yeah. They
eventually turned the blue lights off,which I even like better. I like
it to be super dark and justyeah, so what movie did you watch?
It was this new movie with NicholasCage. He was all fucked up,
man, I don't even remember whatit was called, but he's like
(16:18):
this loser professor and all of asudden, everybody starts dreaming about him.
But like sexually or well, it'sall over the place. And so like
the first thing happens his daughter,his teenage daughter comes to him, and
then I have this dream where likethings are falling from the sky and you're
just standing there doing nothing, andI'm like, Dad, what are you
(16:41):
doing? Like help? He's likeeverything's fine and just keeps going about his
business. And he's like, oh, that's a weird dream. And then
like one of his students comes andshe's like, I have had this weird
dream. You're in it every night. There's like an earthquake happening and everything's
going bonkers, and you just walkthrough scene and look at me like nothing's
(17:02):
happening, and then walk away.And over time, all these people are
coming to him, like everyone insociety is having these dreams, and it's
all It has him in it everytime, always walking around nonchalantly. That's
what was it a premise of themovie. Was it a good movie or
not? No, he's just tryingto pay for his new wife. I
mean it was okay, but it'sone of those movies where you're not quite
(17:23):
sure what you just watched or whatthe purpose was. M hm. Eventually
it got morbid because the he becamea celebrity because everybody was dreaming about him
and he got popular, which madehim feel good because he was kind of
a loser before that. But eventuallyit got morbid because of the dreams changed
and it it turned into him likekilling people in the dream Yeah, like
(17:45):
the people who had the dreams.He would come with a hammer and like
bashed their head in. One woman, he raped her, like all kinds
of morbid ass shit in their dreams. So now everybody hates him and he's
ostracized from society. It was likea Twilight Zone episode. But there's no
like end reason why I fell asleep. Okay, so take that for what
(18:07):
it means. Yeah, I donot watch it. I wouldn't. I
can't recommend it, honestly, becauseI'm not quite sure what the point was.
I think it was supposed to belike a commentary on our social media
viral you know, thing that wehave going on in our society and hon
turn and like how you can bea celebrity at any moment and then be
(18:30):
hated at any moment. But whogives a fuck? Yeah you know what
I mean? He does he?I mean, whoever wrote it cares,
but I don't. I don't careabout any celebrity. I mean, I
think he's just signing up to getchecks because he used to be way bigger.
But this was more of a like, he's done some shitty ass movies
(18:52):
like yeah, exactly like that.He's done many like that. This was
I would say more legit, butthat doesn't mean it was good. It
was Okay, are you gonna watchthe ending or not? No, so
you're done with it. I'm done. Yeah, like you've tied him with
seven thirty seven Max, You're donewith Nicholas Cage. Yeah. Now,
(19:12):
every time I see Nicholas Cage,I'm gonna like have a fit. Yeah
seven Max. Although he isn't oneof my favorite movies of all time,
Raising Arizona, I like the onewhere he sold weapons. Yeah, that
was a pretty decent movie. Thatwas my first Blu ray disc. But
Raising Arizona is one of the bestmovies of all time. Of course,
(19:32):
he was like twenty something years oldin that movie. But that's where they
had like a kid kid named Arizonaa little girl. Yeah, yeah,
where they stole they stole her.Coen Brothers my favorite Coen Brothers is my
absolute favorite movie. Directors, writers, producers, et cetera. They have
all the good shit. As youknow, they're the ones who made The
(19:55):
Big Lebowski, which is my favoritemovie of all time. Yeah, that
is your favorite movie all time.Hence the tattoos, Hence the picture over
the bar in the base. Yeah, that is the dude of the dude
drinking his white Russian and white Russian. So anyway, what else is going
on? We have kas Clark comingon in nineteen minutes to give us an
(20:18):
update on the Penturch Pentrich Penturk incident. Penturk. Yes, you did it
correct. Yeah, that's gonna bequite interesting looking forward to that. And
it's midnight her time. Maybe she'sbeen drinking, she's starting at midnight.
I don't think she drinks because ofthe aliens. I just think she doesn't
drink because she told you that.You just think that she always seems very
(20:42):
level headed and calm, you know, because she's drinking. She ain't.
She doesn't show up and be like, yee, you know what I mean?
So I think I think that's justher demeanor. But do you remember
that one time we had a comedianon and we were pretty sure that comedian
was like on drugs and they didn'twant to come on. That was one
(21:02):
of our early episodes. No,we had to like call them, like,
hey, coming on, and shewas like he she can't remember which
it was she. I didn't wantto say that, but she was like
in the kitchen, like in thefetal position on camera, Lockey, I
think you're exaggerating now, No,remember there was a homeless encampment outside of
her apartment. Yeah, and itmade her super nervous when she was on
(21:23):
drugs. Yeah, it turned outto be a barely decent interview. So
did they make it? Are theybig? Now? No? Idea never
followed up. That was the earlydays, dude. I think that was
like episode fifteen or something. Ijust remember that was the first guest who
like sometimes guests don't show up,and we actually called that guest and they
ended up coming on anyway. Yeah, and maybe they shouldn't have. You
(21:45):
know, you realize we're on episodeuh one seventy seven. What are we
gonna do for episode one eight seven? Like a murder one eight seven murder
porn? We could documentary? Yeah, we could. Yeah, it's hard
to believe that we're on episode oneseventy seven. Dude, yeah, damn.

I think we were super drawn,Yes, just talking all kinds of nonsense.
Well, that's that's how the podcastthought it. That's how the podcast
started. I think the VIP memberswould appreciate that. I'll try to dig
that up and put it out.Well, do you remember in the beginning
you had to bleep like or cutYeah, yeah, three out of three
(22:52):

ford F word F word. Yeah. We've we've lightened up on that,
so now we can just do mothermotherfucker. It's an overload of emotions,
(23:14):
all anger. I think it wasCOVID you know, COVID had us all
confused and scary. It was duringCOVID that we started. Yeah, like,
at any given moment, we couldhave killed each other with COVID.
Yeah, just down there, likebreathing on each other because we didn't know
if it was from surface area oryeah, you know, urine fucking pellets
(23:37):

no one knew what the fuck like, people are getting shit in the mail,
wiping it off. I remember wehad we had a small party here
during COVID, and you remember Danteand his wife were here. And I
got a phone call from my coworkerwho supposed, Yeah, I was fucked

bunch of us at work, andlike I said, he supposedly plugged into
the community. So so if hecalled you like this weekend, would you

left leg, like fibrous tissue inmy vein, freaking trash. That's a
(26:44):
classic. I haven't heard that ina while. Oh that was the wonder
what that guy's up to these days. He died of COVID. He ran
for Congress. He didn't get thejab. He ran for Congress and remember
that, Yeah, yeah, thatcrazy freaking talking to teachers right that.
Yeah, he went to a schoolI guess counsel or whatever meeting and he
(27:11):
was all upset that they have thekids going to school with masks on.
What's funny is I'm looking at thepicture. He was yelling and he had
his mask on, probably because hewas required. Yeah. Yeah, so
but then he ran for Congress andlost. Well at least he took it
through, you know, he believedYeah, true, he wasn't just going
nuts at the PTA meeting. Hemay have been right, right. And
(27:33):
then you remember the dude who wasall upset about what we called things.
We can call them saucy nugs ortrash. Yes, what was he saying
that we should call things? Ithink he was just his point was this
all bullshit? You can call himwhatever the hell you want, call what
whatever you want. I can't remember. He was like just making a joke
out of things. Uh was itchicken fingers? Like why do we call
(27:53):
him chicken fingers when they're not fingers? He said, we can call them
saucy nugs or I don't remember butthat was a funny ass video. Well,
Ship, while we're going down memorylane, you remember this, yeah,

they messaged us like you can't bearthis. Yeah, they were all like

(29:22):
she had spike, uh Dracula tea, Yeah, Dracula tea. She said
it's because I'm a nephelom. Shewasn't got a nephlm idiot. We've had
some interesting characters on this show,that's for sure. Do you remember this

(29:42):
parlor music if you really need toif you think you need to pee,
but it's just not coming out.This is what you listened to. In
fact, I think I need topiss right now. But you would play
this when they had to pee,I think, yeah, yeah, like
on a few more minutes. Yeah, so, I mean you did piss
(30:06):
one time your pants during COVID.Remember that's when you started wearing the diaper.
Trying to remember it was you startedwearing de pens. I thought you
were the one who wore the diaper. I always joke to try to make
you feel better. But we shouldget Dante back on. Actually, I
agree, it's been a long time. I have been turned the ghost of
Dante. Yeah, we haven't seenhim in a while. He finally paid
(30:27):
out the NFL pool. I waslike waiting, like he said he was
gonna pay out the NFL pool lastweek, and I was waiting to gamble
my money away. And it wasSunday night at like a Sunday announcer.
I'm like, dude, are youever gonna fucking pay out the goddamn pool?
And he he's like, did youreceive monies? And I finally got
the money, so I got money. I didn't know I want anything,
(30:49):
Yeah you want, well, what'sfuck up you want? And then but
you quit playing for the last likeyeah, eight weeks right now? Yeah,
I didn't even know I want anything. Yeah you did good. You
tied like five out of five Ithink two weeks at least, and I
think I only got thirty five bucks, but I'll take it. Extra money,
you know, like almost too ordersof wings with extra ranch, all
(31:11):
flats, thank you, Dante smokemeats every day. I was, what
the fuck was? I was somewhereand got wings. Oh that place near
the ice rink on Valentine's. Ididn't order all flats like an idiot,
(31:33):
and then got fucking eleven out oftwelve. Drum, Oh jesus, what
did you do just eat. Iwas a little and my wife was like
say something. Then I'm like,I can't. You never say anything?
You just eat it like a littlebit. Yeah, I was, Yeah,
it was. I was super upset. Why didn't you say something?
What I was doing was looking around, like, who's the asshole? Who
were all times? Who had tocancel my ship? I mean, you
(31:56):
just got to stand up for yourrights. So yeah, but if you
do, you got to do itin the beginning. So I was all
about it way back. I thinkyou could have said. You could have
just said, hey, I gottwelve wings, and eleven of them are
drums. I would like a mix. Could you please just bring me like
six flats or five flats? So, but you know how there are drum
(32:17):
lovers and flat lovers. Yeah,so I'm thinking I pictured the Hispanic chef
in the back of I'm gonna hookthis dude up as Valentine's. I'm gonna
give him fucking mad drums because that'shis favorite. Yeah, but you could
have easily said of the waitress,can you just bring me five flats?
She probably would have done it.It was a man, but I mean
he was also a waitress. Hewas flustered. He seemed new. I
(32:38):
was like, I didn't want to, You're too nice man. It was
also they have happy hour, apparentlyit was for this place. It's almost
two dollars a wing. It's likeeighteen ninety nine for a pound, it
was ten dollars. So I alsowas like, hmm, yeah, but
you didn't enjoy it. Yeah,I hate them. I enjoyed that first
flat. The first flat was righton top of I'm like, oh god,
(32:59):
this is so much me. Andthen I looked down when on my
bone was sitting there with all thedrums, like, and I complained to
my wife on Valentine. So Iwas, you know, I didn't want
to. I didn't want to killthe It is funny that you went to
the wing place in Valentine's. Yes, this is my favorite. Obviously Valentine's
was for you. She's like,where do you want to go? I'm
not that hungry, Like I knowwhere I want to go, but the
(33:19):
wing place, that's funny, butI haven't. So the only time about
that issue is when I'm with youand you do all flats and I don't
say anything right and I've literally gotall drums and that I can accept because
I know you're gonna enjoy your flats. No, you need to ask for
all flats too, I know,but I feel like so. I didn't
realize why do you feel like anything? Because just to ask? I didn't
(33:40):
know it screws someone else until Iexperienced it, and then I didn't want
to do that to like the fuckingthis is a dog eat dog, dog
eat dog world. Motherfucker. Askfor what you want. Yeah, I
need to start doing that. Mymom always told me that what I was
thinking. If you don't ask,you don't receive. So I do enjoy
it. So I'm going to belike, all flats, but give me
two drums because I like a drumticket. That's too specific, bitch,
(34:01):
I like to have a drum.It's even more difficult. I know that's
the issue, but I like tohave at least one or two to get
the blue cheese and the bottle.You gotta do is say can I have
flats only? And they'll go yes, or they'll say, oh, it's
a two dollars up charge. Okay, what we do anyway? Yeah,
that's worth it. I don't knowwhy I always feel bad about that.
Io, why do you I picturea chicken they only have two flats,
(34:24):
and then I picture them and throwingthe rest of the whole chicken away,
like yeah, this is trash.Hey, I got a piss. We
got Ka's Clark coming in five minutes. Do you have very quick words of
wisdom? What are yours? Doyou have any real words? My words
of wisdom are, if you booka flight and it's a seven thirty seven
Max, cancel that shit, andis it free now or not? No?
(34:47):
In fact, let me, youknow, change my words of wisdom.
As you're booking, make sure youlook at the model airplane that it
is, and if it's a seventhirty seven Max, do not your who's
that flight? So I will sayin the same general, get the fucking
flight insurance. So I just hada flight to Minnesota and my son got
(35:09):
sick. I had to eat allthat ship for my son and the adult
ticket. Damn for two or forthe whole family? No, not only
two were going okay, I wasgonna be here like the whole weekend,
And then I was waiting to textyou like yeah, I'll be in the
basement if you're available, and Iwould have been like wings are being delivered
(35:36):
all right words of wisdom over theexpertly the passing of the thing, and

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
