Speaker 2 (00:10):
How you doing, man, I'm doing. I'm doing magnificently. Do
you want to know why? Why Shamrock shakes?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Baby had a big, fat fatty last night?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And I'm feeling my leprechauns.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
They're green, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yes, and they're green on purpose.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Spring is in the air.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I'm just all all happy and I'm giggling because I
think somebody's got I was listening to the traffic report
and thinking about somebody got rear ended on Cherry Bottom Road.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So I guess I'll have to change the name of
that road.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Hey, so you bring up the you bring up the
the Shamrock Shake, And oddly enough, you know, I'm in
Las Vegas and I'm the studios. The iHeart Studios are
on Fremont Street. We're on the east end of Fremont Street,
right across right smack dab across from the Heart Attack
Grill and where I'm set up to get ready for
the show and all of that outside of the studio,
(01:12):
just on the other side of the window is the
heart Attack Grill. It's literally right there.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
You have to go.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You have to know, it's like a national landmark.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So have you been there before?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
No, and I have regretted it every day.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
It's one of those things where because I play Vegas,
I'll be back in Vegas and I'm bummed I'm missing you.
I'll be at the MGM the last week of May.
That last week of May that kind of bleeds into June.
I love Vegas and I'm gonna hit up the heart
Attack Grill. Already got some good stuff over there, but
you just have to make sure they do their friesh
(01:48):
in beef tallow because those seed oils are no good.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Well along those lines, it's funny you bring that up,
because that's perfect. I'm looking it up online. I go,
let me see what the double bypass burger. Yeah, I
don't know. It tips the scale, it's clocking in. I
don't know. Something stupid three thousand calories with the onion rings.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Are you using sunflower oil on that?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
But my point is to kind of to your point.
There's pictures. It was like click here for more photos,
so I click. I'm just looking at some of this
food and I literally gained like six pounds just looking
at the food. But the thing in the one photo, Michael,
there was a diet coke in the photo with the
I was just like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Okay, okay, in defense, I'm a big I can't do
regular coke anymore. I've been so indoctrinated into the world
of diet coke, Like regular coke should have a picture.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Of like Missus Butterworth on the cant.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It's literally it tastes like like pancake syrup.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
No, I'll sit there.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I'll go and eat like half of a pizza by myself,
but I gotta wash it down with a diet coke.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I am that person. Well, they do the rails.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
They do have the real sugar coke that you know,
the high fruit tose I think is the thing you're
talking about. And it is syrupy, there's no question it
gets It's really thick and you feel like you have
a layer of it on your tongue after you take
a swig of it. But the real coke, it hit
it lands differently. Just FYI. I don't know if you've
tried it. You probably have, but it really does hit differently.
(03:23):
It's not the same finish.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
You have to think about this stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You've opened up a Pandora's box of sodas here. I
have such strong opinions on this stuff, Like a regular coke.
When I was living in LA they'd have a season
where they would sell the regular sugar regular coke, and
I'd have like one of those at night. But like
as a dessert, it has to be ice cold. I
(03:48):
want to drink that out of a bottle, no straw,
and dude, it just attacks your throat. It just bam,
there's that bite to it and the so many bubbles,
Like legit, I want to have original coke. I want
him to go back to the eighteen hundreds recipe where
you stay up for seven days and you wake up
with a Russian hooker who looks like Honor Biden, and
(04:10):
you're like, why did I buy all this artwork.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Which, by the way, he can't sell ironic.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, suddenly he's poor. Suddenly he's poor.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, Hey, so what do you got? What do you
got coming up? In that you mentioned you're going to
be in Vegas the end of May into the first
part of June. I may sneak back out here actually
and hang out with you more on that though, I
definitely would, and I if I do any shows while
I'm out here, then I'll have to pull you in here.
If there's a chance for you to come and hang
(04:42):
at the iHeart Studios here in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I don't think you'll be able to do any live
shows because I see here you left your ass list
chaps in the studio, So I don't know how you're
gonna do any show.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
When you're in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So anyway, what else I know? I always get busted
on that here's.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
What's going on and that everybody needs to come out.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
It's gonna be an absolute blast at the Funny Bone
here in Columbus, in the heart of it All, Central Ohio,
the twentieth March twentieth, I'm doing a show with a
buddy of mine. There's gonna be joke, there's gonna be music.
I'm gonna have my guitar with me on the on stage. Yes, yes,
I want to do a huge Q and a section.
(05:28):
It's just gonna be absolute fun, absolute fun.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And then I head up to Michigan.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I'm doing a show up there with my buddy Dave
Landau on the twenty second, and then the end of
the month, if we have any listeners in Spokane, I'll
be in I'll be in Spokane, Washington for the weekend.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Man, there is so it's so different right now moving
around America with Trump in office, isn't it. I mean,
it's really good. I for instance, you know out here,
I'm sitting in one of the restaurants and the guys
wearing to make America great again, And I thought to myself, Wow,
people are finally going, all right, I'm good to show
my true color. Everybody else is showing their true colors.
(06:07):
You know, guys who want to be women and women
who want to be guys. Why can't there people who
are voted for Trump, they can show their true colors.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Ab so as it should be, as it should be.
It's great. It's just a wonderful. It's literally like when
Trump was running, He's like, it'll be a new golden
age for America, the new Golden age. I'm like, Okay,
that's some fun campaign rhetoric. But now, dude, I'm like,
it could be a new beautiful golden age for we are.
(06:36):
Definitely we could be. They're they're really talking about getting
rid of the irs. They're talking about getting rid of
the of the federal taxes, which would just be awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I was just looking at this. It's funny you bring
that up, because if you earn less than one hundred
and fifty thousand a year, they are President Trump is
looking at getting rid of, like you just said, the taxes,
and you know, of course, leave it to anybody who
wants to try to you know, poo poo this they're saying, Well,
it would consequently massively reduce tax revenue generated for the
(07:10):
federal government and threaten a huge increase in national debt.
My thought, my first thought was, is why do you
think dose is going through cutting slashing everything, Because as
far as the federal government operating, if you took it
to one fifth of what it's taking to run it
right now, or even more, if you take it down
lower than that, and you're bringing in less taxes via this,
(07:34):
giving a break to anybody who's making one fifty or less,
it doesn't take as much to run the government. It
seems like it's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
To me, it's a wonderful idea.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And dude, on my podcast, I've been talking about this
for the past couple weeks, among many other things. I'm
sure everybody's subscribed to the Loftist Party podcast. But we
cannot trust the federal government with our money, so we
have to give them a smaller pot to spend.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's like if you give your wife.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
The American Express, you know, with a fifty thousand dollars limit,
and every time she comes home she's like, somehow I
spend one hundred thousand.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Dollars, but it's all stuff we needed. The next time
she goes out, you give her the same credit card.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I spent seven hundred thousand, but we needed it. After
a while, you're gonna be like, you know what, here's
here's the Capitol one visa with five hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
That's it. And so that's what we have to do.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
We just have to give give Congress because they haven't
done their job, they haven't balanced the budget. They seem
incapable of lowering spending on their own, So doge it
all and give them just literally less money to spend.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Here's another one.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
It's like in the news right before we were getting
fired up, they're gonna increase the fines, They're gonna increase
the speeding fines for people in Ohio. And you know
why they do that garbage, that hot garbage. They know
if you have a car, you have money. They never
increase the fines for graffiti. They never increase the fines
(09:05):
for like littering or loitering or destroying property. They go
after the people who are working their butts off and
have a job.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I've had enough of it, dude, I've had enough.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Also. You know what else is fun is MSNBC. There's
a host on MSNBC claiming that they're taking a week
off and they cited exhaustion caused by President Trump's administration.
This guy, I mean, think about it for a second.
This is a guy that they tried to say leading
up to the election. They tried to say that this
(09:42):
guy is on his death door basically or whatever. They
tried to compare him to Biden and say that, you know,
he's old and there's no way. And then he gets
into office and he's running circles around these people, and
I like to compare this to like whack a mole.
Every time he's like I'm over here going I think
I'm gonna do this, and they go to swing at him,
and he's like whoop, and he goes to another area.
(10:03):
He goes, I think I'm actually gonna do this. I'm
an executive order this, and then I'm gonna executive. And
they're sitting there playing whack a mole and they're so exhausted.
He is running circles. This is the funnest thing ever.
It's funnest the word it's not.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
But you're talking about Lawrence o'donald. Lawrence o'donald.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
I'm taking a break from my MSNBC show.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I've reached the point of exhaustion.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I've tried wearing several of Joy Read's wigs, but to
no avail.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
As I defend the Constitution. Yeah, what an absolute blossom
of a human being. That guy.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Seriously, when when the mere fact that Donald Trump exists
send you on a vacation, you might want to get
your you might want to get checked for low T.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I think you got low T, Lawrence.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It's so fun watching them scramble and every day it's
a ex it is, it's really really fun.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I want more.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Then, Also, you know, I don't know what's going to
happen at midnight, but you know that we you know
the government could shut down, partial shutdown. This is so
if you try to drill down on this. And I
had Congressman Balderson on with me yesterday and a GOP
strategist to Bob Clegg. They were both on me yesterday, Michael,
and you know, we're talking about this, and I told him,
(11:24):
I was like, this is clear as mud to me,
and they were, you know, it's Schumer shutdown. I mean,
that is what this has been nicknamed. And then you
see AOC she's all pissed off that it looks like
it it might not actually happen. Now there's something you know,
at the last minute, at the eleventh hour as they
call it or whatever. So I don't know if there's
gonna end up being a shutdown, but they're trying like
(11:45):
hell to make it happen. The Dems are.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I think it's all it's this and this continuing resolution,
the whole shutdown. It's much ado about nothing, Like I'm
with Thomas Massey on this, like you've got Doge going
going crazy and like, oh, look at all the money
we spent on this NGO. Look at the trillions of
dollars in fraudulent medicare and medicaid payments. Look at the trillions,
like we're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars that
(12:12):
have just been thrown out the window. And then they're like,
they can't reduce spending on this continuing resolution. They're spending
just as much money. It's insane. So I yeah, I
bring on the government shutdown. I totally want shut it
all down. You got Elon Musk in there. It's like
it's like when your computer doesn't work and then you
(12:33):
call the company and they're like, have you tried unplugging
it and plugging it back in?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
That's what I want for America.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Just put put Trump behind the resolute desk, have Elon
Musk sitting there, shut down the whole government, and when
cabinet members come in running and screaming, you get Pete
Hegseth like, dude, dude, we gotta have an army.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
We got okay, all right, fire that back up. How
much do you need?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Trump just writes him a check.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
There, you got off, you go, and as the people
come running and screaming in, you judge if that program
is worthy or not. Just turn it back on as
we need it. It's lunacy and here's what they'll do.
Here's what they'll do. They'll start talking if they shut
it down. This is like par for the course. They
always go the national parks. They can't empty the trash cans.
(13:22):
Last night, a baby raccoon was choking on a piece
of laughy taffy, and they couldn't.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
They couldn't do the Heimlich maneuver. I don't know if
you made it.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I tried to put my mouth on the raccoons, but
the mob got real mad.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
This has eving brilliant, dude, I'm not kidding. Like you
just shut it all down. And they wait for people
to come running into the Oval office mister president, and
he's like looks at him and goes, all right, yeah,
I think we're good. How much do you need?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
All right, how much for the navy. I'll do it
for thirty There you go negotiate some town.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
That's so great, man, that's so perfect. I'm serious. I
never heard that before, but that is so brilliant. That's perfect.
Speaker 2 (14:09):

I'll be at the MGM the last week of May.
That last week of May that kind of bleeds into June.
I love Vegas and I'm gonna hit up the heart

don't know. Something stupid three thousand calories with the onion rings.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Are you using sunflower oil on that?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
But my point is to kind of to your point.
There's pictures. It was like click here for more photos,
so I click. I'm just looking at some of this
food and I literally gained like six pounds just looking
at the food. But the thing in the one photo, Michael,
there was a diet coke in the photo with the
I was just like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Okay, okay, in defense, I'm a big I can't do
regular coke anymore. I've been so indoctrinated into the world

Of like Missus Butterworth on the cant.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It's literally it tastes like like pancake syrup.
Speaker 2 (02:51):

there's that bite to it and the so many bubbles,
Like legit, I want to have original coke. I want
him to go back to the eighteen hundreds recipe where
you stay up for seven days and you wake up
with a Russian hooker who looks like Honor Biden, and
(04:10):
you're like, why did I buy all this artwork.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Which, by the way, he can't sell ironic.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, suddenly he's poor. Suddenly he's poor.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, Hey, so what do you got? What do you
got coming up? In that you mentioned you're going to
be in Vegas the end of May into the first

and hang out with you more on that though, I
definitely would, and I if I do any shows while
I'm out here, then I'll have to pull you in here.
If there's a chance for you to come and hang
(04:42):
at the iHeart Studios here in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I don't think you'll be able to do any live
shows because I see here you left your ass list
chaps in the studio, So I don't know how you're
gonna do any show.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
When you're in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So anyway, what else I know? I always get busted
on that here's.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
What's going on and that everybody needs to come out.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
It's gonna be an absolute blast at the Funny Bone
here in Columbus, in the heart of it All, Central Ohio,
the twentieth March twentieth, I'm doing a show with a
buddy of mine. There's gonna be joke, there's gonna be music.
I'm gonna have my guitar with me on the on stage. Yes, yes,
I want to do a huge Q and a section.
(05:28):
It's just gonna be absolute fun, absolute fun.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And then I head up to Michigan.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I'm doing a show up there with my buddy Dave
Landau on the twenty second, and then the end of
the month, if we have any listeners in Spokane, I'll
be in I'll be in Spokane, Washington for the weekend.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Man, there is so it's so different right now moving
around America with Trump in office, isn't it. I mean,
it's really good. I for instance, you know out here,
I'm sitting in one of the restaurants and the guys
wearing to make America great again, And I thought to myself, Wow,
people are finally going, all right, I'm good to show
my true color. Everybody else is showing their true colors.
(06:07):
You know, guys who want to be women and women
who want to be guys. Why can't there people who
are voted for Trump, they can show their true colors.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Ab so as it should be, as it should be.
It's great. It's just a wonderful. It's literally like when
Trump was running, He's like, it'll be a new golden
age for America, the new Golden age. I'm like, Okay,
that's some fun campaign rhetoric. But now, dude, I'm like,
it could be a new beautiful golden age for we are.
(06:36):
Definitely we could be. They're they're really talking about getting
rid of the irs. They're talking about getting rid of
the of the federal taxes, which would just be awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I was just looking at this. It's funny you bring
that up, because if you earn less than one hundred
and fifty thousand a year, they are President Trump is
looking at getting rid of, like you just said, the taxes,
and you know, of course, leave it to anybody who
wants to try to you know, poo poo this they're saying, Well,
it would consequently massively reduce tax revenue generated for the
(07:10):
federal government and threaten a huge increase in national debt.
My thought, my first thought was, is why do you
think dose is going through cutting slashing everything, Because as
far as the federal government operating, if you took it
to one fifth of what it's taking to run it
right now, or even more, if you take it down
lower than that, and you're bringing in less taxes via this,
(07:34):
giving a break to anybody who's making one fifty or less,
it doesn't take as much to run the government. It
seems like it's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
To me, it's a wonderful idea.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
And dude, on my podcast, I've been talking about this
for the past couple weeks, among many other things. I'm
sure everybody's subscribed to the Loftist Party podcast. But we
cannot trust the federal government with our money, so we
have to give them a smaller pot to spend.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's like if you give your wife.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
The American Express, you know, with a fifty thousand dollars limit,
and every time she comes home she's like, somehow I
spend one hundred thousand.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Dollars, but it's all stuff we needed. The next time
she goes out, you give her the same credit card.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I spent seven hundred thousand, but we needed it. After
a while, you're gonna be like, you know what, here's
here's the Capitol one visa with five hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
That's it. And so that's what we have to do.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
We just have to give give Congress because they haven't
done their job, they haven't balanced the budget. They seem
incapable of lowering spending on their own, So doge it
all and give them just literally less money to spend.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Here's another one.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
It's like in the news right before we were getting
fired up, they're gonna increase the fines, They're gonna increase
the speeding fines for people in Ohio. And you know
why they do that garbage, that hot garbage. They know
if you have a car, you have money. They never
increase the fines for graffiti. They never increase the fines
(09:05):
for like littering or loitering or destroying property. They go
after the people who are working their butts off and
have a job.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I've had enough of it, dude, I've had enough.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Also. You know what else is fun is MSNBC. There's
a host on MSNBC claiming that they're taking a week
off and they cited exhaustion caused by President Trump's administration.
This guy, I mean, think about it for a second.
This is a guy that they tried to say leading
up to the election. They tried to say that this
(09:42):
guy is on his death door basically or whatever. They
tried to compare him to Biden and say that, you know,
he's old and there's no way. And then he gets
into office and he's running circles around these people, and
I like to compare this to like whack a mole.
Every time he's like I'm over here going I think
I'm gonna do this, and they go to swing at him,
and he's like whoop, and he goes to another area.
(10:03):
He goes, I think I'm actually gonna do this. I'm
an executive order this, and then I'm gonna executive. And
they're sitting there playing whack a mole and they're so exhausted.
He is running circles. This is the funnest thing ever.
It's funnest the word it's not.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
But you're talking about Lawrence o'donald. Lawrence o'donald.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
I'm taking a break from my MSNBC show.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I've reached the point of exhaustion.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I've tried wearing several of Joy Read's wigs, but to
no avail.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
As I defend the Constitution. Yeah, what an absolute blossom
of a human being. That guy.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Seriously, when when the mere fact that Donald Trump exists
send you on a vacation, you might want to get
your you might want to get checked for low T.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I think you got low T, Lawrence.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It's so fun watching them scramble and every day it's
a ex it is, it's really really fun.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I want more.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Then, Also, you know, I don't know what's going to
happen at midnight, but you know that we you know
the government could shut down, partial shutdown. This is so
if you try to drill down on this. And I
had Congressman Balderson on with me yesterday and a GOP
strategist to Bob Clegg. They were both on me yesterday, Michael,
and you know, we're talking about this, and I told him,
(11:24):
I was like, this is clear as mud to me,
and they were, you know, it's Schumer shutdown. I mean,
that is what this has been nicknamed. And then you
see AOC she's all pissed off that it looks like
it it might not actually happen. Now there's something you know,
at the last minute, at the eleventh hour as they
call it or whatever. So I don't know if there's
gonna end up being a shutdown, but they're trying like
(11:45):
hell to make it happen. The Dems are.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I think it's all it's this and this continuing resolution,
the whole shutdown. It's much ado about nothing, Like I'm
with Thomas Massey on this, like you've got Doge going
going crazy and like, oh, look at all the money
we spent on this NGO. Look at the trillions of
dollars in fraudulent medicare and medicaid payments. Look at the trillions,
like we're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars that
(12:12):
have just been thrown out the window. And then they're like,
they can't reduce spending on this continuing resolution. They're spending
just as much money. It's insane. So I yeah, I
bring on the government shutdown. I totally want shut it
all down. You got Elon Musk in there. It's like
it's like when your computer doesn't work and then you
(12:33):
call the company and they're like, have you tried unplugging
it and plugging it back in?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
That's what I want for America.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Just put put Trump behind the resolute desk, have Elon
Musk sitting there, shut down the whole government, and when
cabinet members come in running and screaming, you get Pete
Hegseth like, dude, dude, we gotta have an army.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
We got okay, all right, fire that back up. How
much do you need?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Trump just writes him a check.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
There, you got off, you go, and as the people
come running and screaming in, you judge if that program
is worthy or not. Just turn it back on as
we need it. It's lunacy and here's what they'll do.
Here's what they'll do. They'll start talking if they shut
it down. This is like par for the course. They
always go the national parks. They can't empty the trash cans.
(13:22):
Last night, a baby raccoon was choking on a piece
of laughy taffy, and they couldn't.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
They couldn't do the Heimlich maneuver. I don't know if
you made it.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I tried to put my mouth on the raccoons, but
the mob got real mad.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
This has eving brilliant, dude, I'm not kidding. Like you
just shut it all down. And they wait for people
to come running into the Oval office mister president, and
he's like looks at him and goes, all right, yeah,
I think we're good. How much do you need?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
All right, how much for the navy. I'll do it
for thirty There you go negotiate some town.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
That's so great, man, that's so perfect. I'm serious. I
never heard that before, but that is so brilliant. That's perfect.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Thank you so much. Brilliant is my breakfast.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I love it.
