Speaker 1 (00:00):
Greetings and welcome to the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Well, since we last chatted, I suffered a slight injury
when I fell down the stairs at home and broke
my left foot. Needless to say, it hurt like hell,
and I realized when it started turning black and blue
very quick that there was a problem. So shortly thereafter,
(00:29):
I got myself to the emergency room and they did
the X rays and the doctor says, yep, it's broken.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
So I broke a.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Couple of the smaller toes and part of the towbones
back in the foot. Fortunately the injury was not bad
enough to require me to have surgery. But I've had
to wear this special orthopedic boot which looks like an
industrial flip flop. I walk around going clippity clop, clippity
(00:59):
c I should have the thing off shortly. It's been
on a couple of weeks since the injury, and I guess,
I guess they don't put casts on people's feet anymore
or whatever if.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
They can help it.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So, And that's the case because a friend of a
friend who broke her foot years ago.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
She was in a cast for a month and a half.
But I guess they don't do that looking at the
X rays.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Of my foot on the computer screen when the doctor
was explaining things to me, I was surprised how long
the towbones actually are in your feet. I mean, I
remember from basic biology in school, in human anatomy and whatnot.
But it's something when you see your own foot on
an X ray, it's like, good God, I thought it
was a pterodactyl foot at first. It's like, what the
hell is that ugly looking thing. It's like, oh, that's
(01:51):
my foot. So, but the bones go back quite away.
It's not what you see in your foot. The toes
is just the outer ends of your toebones. They go
quite away into the foot, past the muscle and the fat.
So it's like, oh, good god. But here's an interesting
(02:11):
thing because and I'm still going out and about shopping
and whatnot, wearing this this this boot on my foot
and limping a little bit, kind of hobbling around.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
But make it my way. I'm getting there, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
So, But like at the grocery store the other day,
there I'm trying to get through down this one aisle
of the bread aisle, and there's this like one woman
just standing there in my way, and she sees them
kind of struggling holding my little basket and trying to
get through, and.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
She just like stands there. And you know, I can understand.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
How people with serious disabilities get frustrated with going out
in public with access and like in my case, people
just standing there in front of you when you're trying
to get through.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
They can see you struggling by the day to stand there.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And I don't know whether she thinks I got a
communicable disease or something and she's afraid she's gonna catch it.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh my god, Oh I can't move. I'm frozen in place.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
It's like, oh, get out of my way, all right,
I need to move through here, and you're you're making
it more difficult than it already is for me. And
this wasn't the first time that had happened to me
when I was out in the stores. So you know,
if you see someone struggling with like a physical impairment,
either help or get out of the way.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Don't just stand there.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Like you're terrified looking at some ancient deity coming down
from the sky.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
But hopefully the foot will get well. It's getting better.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Hopefully within another week or so, I'll be pretty much
back to one hundred percent. So anyways, let me move
along here away from my ailments and discuss the world.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Well, in particularly, let's start.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Off well one of my favorite subjects, and that being politics,
and in particular Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Donald Trump, I don't know what's going on with him, but.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
He's like on the verge of having meltdowns now when
he's out in public, because the campaign of Kamala Harris
is definitely putting pressure on him. So he's just blurting
out anything that enters his mind. He's rambling almost incoherently.
Sometimes what was it a recent little gathering he had,
(04:34):
a rally or whatnot. He's fawning over a box of cheerios,
saying that he's gonna take it back with him, have
some fun with it later. Okay, I don't know what
he means by that, nor do I want to know
what he means by that, but whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
So.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Any one of his recent statements or speeches or proclamations
and whatever comes out of his mouth, he was saying
that he's better looking than Kamala Harris. No, no, Trump,
you are not better looking than Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris
is very easy on the eyes. She smiles a lot,
(05:11):
something that you don't do. All you do is skowl.
So you know, Kamala Harris compared to your stone face expression, No,
there's no comparison. You are not better looking than Kamala Harris.
Let's just put it that way. Sorry, sorry, disappointing, but no.
But all getting aside from the stupidity it's coming from
(05:32):
his lips, then he's getting into a lot of these
anti Semitic comments, which are just obscene. I'm called for
and there's no place for such.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Stuff in this world.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
And in the past, a lot of people have made
the analogy comparing Trump to Hitler.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
And now I always kind of blew that off.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's like, yeah, whatever, maybe he might seem like Hitler,
Yeah whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
So be it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But now, if you if you go back and you
read some of the transcripts of of Hitler's speeches and
then the Jewish comments that he would throw out there,
Trump is starting is starting to sound like Hitler.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
He is I don't know whether he's trying to get
a rise out of people.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I don't see how he possibly thinks this is going
to help him get votes, because it's not.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Why don't you talk.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
About the issues, the real issues, not you know, this nonsensical.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Gibberish babble that's coming out of your mouth.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
And of course his diehard supporters they don't you know,
you know, he.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Can do no wrong. He's absolutely right, you know whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
But speaking of his diehard supporters, I read something the
other day with that that that that giggling Mike Lindell,
the my pillow guy, I think that's his name.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
He went into the.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
The DNC in disguise or incognito or whatever, and he
ends up getting into an argument with a twelve year
old and he basically lost the argument.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That the twelve year old told me he's full of crappers,
something to that effect.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Is this the level in which the Trump camp has
gone to now where you gotta fight with kids to make.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Your point, and even then you still can't do it.
So it's time for all these these nice.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Little supporters to fold up their camp, put away their
Trump signs and their MAGA signs, and go away. It's
like this one neighbor near me, and then christ, he's
not too close. His entire front yard is like a
it's like a Trump monument.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
All you see is.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Trump signs and MAGA signs and the one He's got,
the one flag where there's a there's a drawing of
Trump is a muscular Rambo type character holding this huge
ass Bazuka slash machine gun, machete thing or whatever. What
the hell kind of crack is this guy smoking? Okay,
(08:13):
he I mean he should be cited for.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Ruining the appearance of the entire neighborhood, really, but the
whole yard. It's like, how does he mow his grass?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
That's all I know, because you gotta pull up all
those goddamn signs to cut the grass.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
How does he do that?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I'm sure he probably hires a kid to do that
for him. Who knows, But it's really that to me
shows insecurity when you when you know your boy is
like doomed and not too cop pathetic to begin with,
you have to do something like you have to turn
your front yard into a Trump circus to try and
(08:51):
make your point for you go to the DNC and
get into an argument with a twelve year old. But
nonetheless it is all part of the legacy of the
fucking clown show that is the Trump presidential campaign. But
(09:12):
enough of that nonsense. Let us move on to other things. Recently,
I've noticed a lot of people have been asking one
very important question, and that is.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Why are people so goddamn bitchy these days?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Of course, for me living here in south central Pennsylvania,
some of the people, not all the people, but some
of the people are really miserable and nasty. They have
a permanent hair stuck across their collective assholes. So it's
(09:52):
hard for me to gauge the bitchy level of other people.
But this is a this is something of a trend
because of friend of mine on Instagram had pointed this out.
One of the local radio shows, the Morning Show, had
a rather lengthy discussion as to why people are just
so bitchy and nasty. Let us examine the dichotomy of
(10:17):
the anger level among the Homo sapiens these days. I
have a few theories, one of which states very clearly
that there were just too many people.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
In the world.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
It's like rats in a cage. You cram in so
many rats in a small space, Well, guess what. Eventually
you're gonna have problems. They're gonna start turning.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
On each other.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And that's kind of the situation here where, you know,
anywhere you go in the world these days, it seems
like there's a whole bunch of people around you. You
gotta wait in line for everything, you gotta wait in traffic.
So that's probably gonna tend to make people a little
bit nasty on the overall scale of things. And there's
(11:02):
no quick fix for this situation other than moving out
to Wyoming, where you're in some locations your nearest neighbors
like fifty miles away. I had a friend who lived
out there, and I said, to my God, you're so lucky.
You don't have any humans to deal with on a
regular basis. He says, it's true. He just like goes
a Walmart once a week shopping for food and supplies,
(11:24):
and that's it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
In the Walmart's like one hundred miles away.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
But there is no quick fix because humans are breeding
out of control and the population numbers are only going
to continue to spiral upwards.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
The other thing that.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I've noticed among people these days is everyone is trying
to multitask. Have you ever ever seen people They're on
their phones And I've actually seen people with two phones,
one in each hand, trying to do stuff, and they're
trying to accomplish another task and do this and that,
and they're not doing it very well and they're getting
angry about it and taking it out on everyone else. Well,
(12:03):
let me just say here that some people, I mean,
I don't want to be mean, but some people are
like just stupid. They can't handle multitask and they can't
handle one task per hour, let alone multiple tasks within
the span of a few minutes, and they're they're bitchy. So,
you know, the dummies again, forgive my, forgive me for
(12:26):
being blunt, but the dummies need to stop trying to,
you know, do so much because they're getting overwhelmed and
they're taking it out on everybody else.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Just just stay at home or something.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Don't don't don't try to do more than your your
brain is capable of handling, because we don't need you
getting nasty with us over it. And that leads me
to another facet and that many people just have a
bad attitude because they believe that somehow the world owes
(12:56):
them everything, and when they don't get their way, they
get angry.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Well, that's not how it works. The world owes you nothing.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
So don't go out in the world expecting everything's gonna
be perfect just for you, and when it doesn't occur
that way, then you're gonna take it out on everybody else.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
No no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
You're not king of the world. You don't have the
golden crown, So just chill out, become humble. And that
also lends itself to something that I've noticed in that
when people, grown ass adults who should know better, don't
(13:37):
get their way in public, they throw tantrums.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
They throw childish tantrums. I've seen.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I've seen it happen in fast food places. I've seen
it happen in stores and restaurants. Some person don't get
their way. Suddenly they're stomping their feet, they're gesticulating with
their hands, they're yelling, they're screaming because something didn't quite
go right for them. So now their only response mechanism
(14:05):
is to throw this childish ten year old tantrum. And
do you know why that is? Because when there were kids,
they had poor parents. Well no, let me rephrase that,
not poor parenting, but this mentality that began a number
(14:26):
of years back in which people were told you can't
you can't discipline your kids, you can't punish your kids,
So when these kids would throw a tantrum like every
kid will do every now and again, roll around on
the floor and cry and scream because they didn't get
their way, the parents let them do this unabated, with
(14:50):
no consequences. So you know what happens. They grow up
into adults with this mindset. Hey, you know, I was
always allowed to throw a tantrum when something didn't perfectly
suit me, So I'm gonna do it now when I'm
thirty five years old.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
No no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Just because you weren't raised correctly doesn't mean that's how
you behave in society. When I was a kid, I
was raised with a slightly different generations, different set of values,
different way of thinking. If I threw a tantrum, and
I did on a couple of occasions, I'd usually get smacked.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Okay, And back.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
In the day, if you're a kid and you threw
a tantrum, usually you got the shit smacked out of you,
quite and simple. But unfortunately, we can't do that no
more because actually, if you do smack your kid now,
you get arrested for it. Anyways, But recently, I was
visiting a business in the area and right next door
(15:54):
is a kid's daycare place and the kids, i mean
the weather was nice or the kids are outside in
the play area playing, you know, behind the fence and whatnot,
and one of the kids was was pitching a fit,
crying and yelling and being upset.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
So one of the counselors.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Or teachers or supervisors, overlords, whatever you want to call him,
was sitting there on his lazy ass, watching the kids,
and he's he's conducting a negotiation with this kid who's
pitching the fit.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
He's not saying to the kid, hey, stop doing that, sit.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Down and behave be nice, But no, he's negotiating. He's
asking the kid, why are you doing that? Why are
you acting that way? And you need to come over
here and sit down? Can you do you think you
can come over here and sit down? Why can't you
come over here and sit down? What seems to be
the issues and this is going on, I'm thinking to myself,
(16:55):
what the hell, mister, take off your belt and smacked
the kid across the ass, plain and simple, But no,
you're gonna turn it into a lengthy contract negotiation to
modify the child's behavior.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So the child grew up to be an adult.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
And pitched the same fit when he can't get his
way at McDonald's because they're all My ice cream machine
is broken and the Eggman muffins aren't there. No, I
should not have to put up with that from my
fellow human beings who are not raised correctly.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
So aside from.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Bad parenting, here's what I think is another factor in
the equation with people's behavior these days, in that everything
in society is so dramatic. Now have you noticed that
all the popular entertainment is so much drama and critical
situations and life are.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Death and oh my god, it's horrible.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
You don't You don't see, especially in this politically correct
world that we live in. You don't see the funny
stuff that we had years ago. When I was a
kid growing up, TV was a completely different animal. Okay, well,
we only had like three channels, But nonetheless, the point
of the matter is popular entertainment back in the day
was different. It did not take itself so seriously. There
(18:12):
was a lot of comedy, a lot of goofy comedy.
It made you laugh, it made you feel good.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
But no, we can't do that anymore. Now we gonna
have all the serious.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Crime dramas, you know, like Law and Order, dun D
d D and the spy shows and yeah, yea yea yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah whatever. You know, everything is so goddamn fucking
serious that we go out in the world with the
same mentality from this shit we were watching on TV
and taking it with the rest of the world.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Even the music these days is mostly garbage. I don't
know what idiots are coming up with this shit that
they call him music.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
But Christ doesn't have to make anyone want to jump
off a bridge with a ropeer on your neck. So
my point here in this little installment of this discussion
is lighten up.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Okay, life is not that serious, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Driving in this morning, I'm sitting in traffic, of course,
what else is new in York? And I'm a traffic
here and her school is driving by with a casket
in the back, And I thought to myself, you know what,
it's a pretty good day for me because I'm not
the guy in the back of the casket.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Unfortunate for him. So lighting up things could be worse.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
But don't don't take this serious dread mentality out in
the world, because it's only gonna lead you to be
nasty and mean. It's only human nature. Be happy, smile,
it'll make somewhat of a difference. Try not to take
it all so seriously. You know, if your chicken McNuggets
are cold when you get them, don't worry about it.
They'll be hot when they come out later on, so
(19:48):
don't pitch a.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Fit over it. It's goddamn frigging fast food. What do
you expect. Put things into perspective. Maybe life wants to be.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
So bad then you know you gotta in line a
little longer to buy your groceries.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Well, it's just too bad. Get over it. We all
have to stand in the line.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I know some of you expect your own personalized checkout
line at the store just for you, but it doesn't
quite work that way. And the next time that unruly
little goddamn bratt that you call a child throws a
tantrum in public, correct the kid smack his ass or
her ass whatever. Don't let that behavior continue because then
(20:29):
they're gonna grow up to be bad adults. For all
you know, if you let it go, your kid could
grow up to be the next goddamn hitler.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
We don't need that.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Get in check now, but let me bottom line this
for you. I know life can be difficult sometimes. I
know there are a lot of challenges out there. I
know things can get frustrating and people get to the
end of their rope and take it out on everybody else.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Well, that's not the way to do it.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
But let me give you a little bit of a
store analogy to kind of put it all into perspective.
During World War Two, when the Nazis were bombing the
hell out of Great Britain, particularly London, every single night
after night after night, the people of London took shelter
(21:20):
down in the subway tunnels. They were like makeshift air
raid shelters, bomb shelters if you will. It certainly was
not the best of accommodations. It was probably nothing short
of hell on earth. But according to those who were there,
they got along. In fact, they often had a good
(21:41):
time in themselves. It was like, you know, party on
every single night. And not to make light of the
horrific circumstances of war that was going on above them,
but their mentality was we could be dead tomorrow. They
could up a bomb on us and kill us all
(22:02):
and that'd be the end of it. So you know what,
live on, enjoy the moment, and have some fun. In short,
they made the best of a difficult set of circumstances
as they were crammed down in these subway tunnels trying
to protect their lives and their family and.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Families and whatnot. Their existence was far more worse.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
So well, you have currently in our society, at least
in this country, we have a pretty damn good for
the most part. There's no reason for us to act
the way we do. I've done this lecture countless times before,
and I'm sick of doing it all the time.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
So goddamn crabby.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Every time you go out in the world, smile a
little say hi to people, help somebody out, do the
right thing.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
And for some of those people in York.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Pennsylvania who would just bitch you all the time, even
when you're soud to sleep, you know what, lighten up,
change your attitude, just saying.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
So.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
As I get ready to close out this episode today,
let me take a moment to highlight one of the
most glaring examples of general, outright stupidity that you will
find anywhere. And I'm talking about the recent incident in
New Jersey where a young woman decided to climb into
(23:26):
the tiger enclosure at a local zoo. She went over
the fence and apparently taunted the tiger, upon which in
short order, the tiger lunged at her. Fortunately, she I guess,
got away and was not injured, and the authorities are
(23:49):
actually looking for her.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
They want to ask some questions because you just can't
do that.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I believe it is illegal to go jumping into the
cages with the wild animals at the zoo. And we're
talked talking here about a five hundred pound tiger. I
think it was a Bengal tiger. What in the hell
could she have been thinking? This is not the the
neighbors calico cat we're dealing with here. We're dealing with
a very large tiger who is going to have some
(24:17):
aggressive tendencies by by nature, to say the least. And fortunately,
like I said, she was not that this young woman
was not injured.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
But if she had been mauled, you.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Know, of course they would have they would have made
it out to be the fault of the poor tiger,
instead of placing the blame where it lies on on
this dumb bitch who decides, oh, I'm just gonna hop
the fence. Everything, everything is gonna be cool, and I'm
gonna taunt the tiger.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
We don't do that sort of thing because you probably
deserve to be mauled just because of your stupidity. And
as I like to say, this is another example of
the rich pageant of the world in which we live.
So if you're out there and you're at a zoo,
(25:08):
or you're gonna go to a zoo, stay on the
other side of the fence, because the animals in the
zoo don't want you in their enclosure area. And it's
not a good idea to do those things. Just look
at the animals. Enjoy these wonderful creatures, many of whom
are rare and endangered, but don't go in the cage
(25:28):
to play with them.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's not a bright thing to dope. Just saying. And
on that note, I'm now going to sign off.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I'd like to thank you for taking the taking the
time to listen to this masterpiece of audio flotsam. Please
feel free to subscribe to this podcast because it is
free to do so, and what harm could it possibly do, right,
I'm like an old friend who comes over to chat
with you once a week, just look at it that way.
So until next time, take care, be happy, please be nice,
(26:02):
don't be grumpy, don't go play with wild tigers at
the zoo.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
And it's so long for now, Bye bye,
Greetings and welcome to the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Well, since we last chatted, I suffered a slight injury
when I fell down the stairs at home and broke
my left foot. Needless to say, it hurt like hell,
and I realized when it started turning black and blue
very quick that there was a problem. So shortly thereafter,
(00:29):
I got myself to the emergency room and they did
the X rays and the doctor says, yep, it's broken.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
So I broke a.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Couple of the smaller toes and part of the towbones
back in the foot. Fortunately the injury was not bad
enough to require me to have surgery. But I've had
to wear this special orthopedic boot which looks like an
industrial flip flop. I walk around going clippity clop, clippity
(00:59):
c I should have the thing off shortly. It's been
on a couple of weeks since the injury, and I guess,
I guess they don't put casts on people's feet anymore
or whatever if.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
They can help it.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So, And that's the case because a friend of a
friend who broke her foot years ago.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
She was in a cast for a month and a half.
But I guess they don't do that looking at the
X rays.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Of my foot on the computer screen when the doctor
was explaining things to me, I was surprised how long
the towbones actually are in your feet. I mean, I
remember from basic biology in school, in human anatomy and whatnot.
But it's something when you see your own foot on
an X ray, it's like, good God, I thought it
was a pterodactyl foot at first. It's like, what the
hell is that ugly looking thing. It's like, oh, that's
(01:51):
my foot. So, but the bones go back quite away.
It's not what you see in your foot. The toes
is just the outer ends of your toebones. They go
quite away into the foot, past the muscle and the fat.
So it's like, oh, good god. But here's an interesting
(02:11):
thing because and I'm still going out and about shopping
and whatnot, wearing this this this boot on my foot
and limping a little bit, kind of hobbling around.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
But make it my way. I'm getting there, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
So, But like at the grocery store the other day,
there I'm trying to get through down this one aisle
of the bread aisle, and there's this like one woman
just standing there in my way, and she sees them
kind of struggling holding my little basket and trying to
get through, and.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
She just like stands there. And you know, I can understand.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
How people with serious disabilities get frustrated with going out
in public with access and like in my case, people
just standing there in front of you when you're trying
to get through.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
They can see you struggling by the day to stand there.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And I don't know whether she thinks I got a
communicable disease or something and she's afraid she's gonna catch it.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh my god, Oh I can't move. I'm frozen in place.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
It's like, oh, get out of my way, all right,
I need to move through here, and you're you're making
it more difficult than it already is for me. And
this wasn't the first time that had happened to me
when I was out in the stores. So you know,
if you see someone struggling with like a physical impairment,
either help or get out of the way.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Don't just stand there.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Like you're terrified looking at some ancient deity coming down
from the sky.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
But hopefully the foot will get well. It's getting better.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Hopefully within another week or so, I'll be pretty much
back to one hundred percent. So anyways, let me move
along here away from my ailments and discuss the world.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Well, in particularly, let's start.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Off well one of my favorite subjects, and that being politics,
and in particular Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Donald Trump, I don't know what's going on with him, but.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
He's like on the verge of having meltdowns now when
he's out in public, because the campaign of Kamala Harris
is definitely putting pressure on him. So he's just blurting
out anything that enters his mind. He's rambling almost incoherently.
Sometimes what was it a recent little gathering he had,
(04:34):
a rally or whatnot. He's fawning over a box of cheerios,
saying that he's gonna take it back with him, have
some fun with it later. Okay, I don't know what
he means by that, nor do I want to know
what he means by that, but whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
So.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Any one of his recent statements or speeches or proclamations
and whatever comes out of his mouth, he was saying
that he's better looking than Kamala Harris. No, no, Trump,
you are not better looking than Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris
is very easy on the eyes. She smiles a lot,
(05:11):
something that you don't do. All you do is skowl.
So you know, Kamala Harris compared to your stone face expression, No,
there's no comparison. You are not better looking than Kamala Harris.
Let's just put it that way. Sorry, sorry, disappointing, but no.
But all getting aside from the stupidity it's coming from
(05:32):
his lips, then he's getting into a lot of these
anti Semitic comments, which are just obscene. I'm called for
and there's no place for such.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Stuff in this world.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
And in the past, a lot of people have made
the analogy comparing Trump to Hitler.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
And now I always kind of blew that off.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's like, yeah, whatever, maybe he might seem like Hitler,
Yeah whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
So be it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But now, if you if you go back and you
read some of the transcripts of of Hitler's speeches and
then the Jewish comments that he would throw out there,
Trump is starting is starting to sound like Hitler.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
He is I don't know whether he's trying to get
a rise out of people.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I don't see how he possibly thinks this is going
to help him get votes, because it's not.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Why don't you talk.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
About the issues, the real issues, not you know, this nonsensical.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Gibberish babble that's coming out of your mouth.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
And of course his diehard supporters they don't you know,
you know, he.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Can do no wrong. He's absolutely right, you know whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
But speaking of his diehard supporters, I read something the
other day with that that that that giggling Mike Lindell,
the my pillow guy, I think that's his name.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
He went into the.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
The DNC in disguise or incognito or whatever, and he
ends up getting into an argument with a twelve year
old and he basically lost the argument.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
That the twelve year old told me he's full of crappers,
something to that effect.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Is this the level in which the Trump camp has
gone to now where you gotta fight with kids to make.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Your point, and even then you still can't do it.
So it's time for all these these nice.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Little supporters to fold up their camp, put away their
Trump signs and their MAGA signs, and go away. It's
like this one neighbor near me, and then christ, he's
not too close. His entire front yard is like a
it's like a Trump monument.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
All you see is.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Trump signs and MAGA signs and the one He's got,
the one flag where there's a there's a drawing of
Trump is a muscular Rambo type character holding this huge
ass Bazuka slash machine gun, machete thing or whatever. What
the hell kind of crack is this guy smoking? Okay,
(08:13):
he I mean he should be cited for.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Ruining the appearance of the entire neighborhood, really, but the
whole yard. It's like, how does he mow his grass?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
That's all I know, because you gotta pull up all
those goddamn signs to cut the grass.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
How does he do that?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I'm sure he probably hires a kid to do that
for him. Who knows, But it's really that to me
shows insecurity when you when you know your boy is
like doomed and not too cop pathetic to begin with,
you have to do something like you have to turn
your front yard into a Trump circus to try and
(08:51):
make your point for you go to the DNC and
get into an argument with a twelve year old. But
nonetheless it is all part of the legacy of the
fucking clown show that is the Trump presidential campaign. But
(09:12):
enough of that nonsense. Let us move on to other things. Recently,
I've noticed a lot of people have been asking one
very important question, and that is.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Why are people so goddamn bitchy these days?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Of course, for me living here in south central Pennsylvania,
some of the people, not all the people, but some
of the people are really miserable and nasty. They have
a permanent hair stuck across their collective assholes. So it's
(09:52):
hard for me to gauge the bitchy level of other people.
But this is a this is something of a trend
because of friend of mine on Instagram had pointed this out.
One of the local radio shows, the Morning Show, had
a rather lengthy discussion as to why people are just
so bitchy and nasty. Let us examine the dichotomy of
(10:17):
the anger level among the Homo sapiens these days. I
have a few theories, one of which states very clearly
that there were just too many people.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
In the world.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
It's like rats in a cage. You cram in so
many rats in a small space, Well, guess what. Eventually
you're gonna have problems. They're gonna start turning.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
On each other.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And that's kind of the situation here where, you know,
anywhere you go in the world these days, it seems
like there's a whole bunch of people around you. You
gotta wait in line for everything, you gotta wait in traffic.
So that's probably gonna tend to make people a little
bit nasty on the overall scale of things. And there's
(11:02):
no quick fix for this situation other than moving out
to Wyoming, where you're in some locations your nearest neighbors
like fifty miles away. I had a friend who lived
out there, and I said, to my God, you're so lucky.
You don't have any humans to deal with on a
regular basis. He says, it's true. He just like goes
a Walmart once a week shopping for food and supplies,
(11:24):
and that's it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
In the Walmart's like one hundred miles away.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
But there is no quick fix because humans are breeding
out of control and the population numbers are only going
to continue to spiral upwards.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
The other thing that.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I've noticed among people these days is everyone is trying
to multitask. Have you ever ever seen people They're on
their phones And I've actually seen people with two phones,
one in each hand, trying to do stuff, and they're
trying to accomplish another task and do this and that,
and they're not doing it very well and they're getting
angry about it and taking it out on everyone else. Well,
(12:03):
let me just say here that some people, I mean,
I don't want to be mean, but some people are
like just stupid. They can't handle multitask and they can't
handle one task per hour, let alone multiple tasks within
the span of a few minutes, and they're they're bitchy. So,
you know, the dummies again, forgive my, forgive me for
(12:26):
being blunt, but the dummies need to stop trying to,
you know, do so much because they're getting overwhelmed and
they're taking it out on everybody else.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Just just stay at home or something.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Don't don't don't try to do more than your your
brain is capable of handling, because we don't need you
getting nasty with us over it. And that leads me
to another facet and that many people just have a
bad attitude because they believe that somehow the world owes
(12:56):
them everything, and when they don't get their way, they
get angry.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Well, that's not how it works. The world owes you nothing.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
So don't go out in the world expecting everything's gonna
be perfect just for you, and when it doesn't occur
that way, then you're gonna take it out on everybody else.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
No no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
You're not king of the world. You don't have the
golden crown, So just chill out, become humble. And that
also lends itself to something that I've noticed in that
when people, grown ass adults who should know better, don't
(13:37):
get their way in public, they throw tantrums.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
They throw childish tantrums. I've seen.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I've seen it happen in fast food places. I've seen
it happen in stores and restaurants. Some person don't get
their way. Suddenly they're stomping their feet, they're gesticulating with
their hands, they're yelling, they're screaming because something didn't quite
go right for them. So now their only response mechanism
(14:05):
is to throw this childish ten year old tantrum. And
do you know why that is? Because when there were kids,
they had poor parents. Well no, let me rephrase that,
not poor parenting, but this mentality that began a number
(14:26):
of years back in which people were told you can't
you can't discipline your kids, you can't punish your kids,
So when these kids would throw a tantrum like every
kid will do every now and again, roll around on
the floor and cry and scream because they didn't get
their way, the parents let them do this unabated, with
(14:50):
no consequences. So you know what happens. They grow up
into adults with this mindset. Hey, you know, I was
always allowed to throw a tantrum when something didn't perfectly
suit me, So I'm gonna do it now when I'm
thirty five years old.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
No no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Just because you weren't raised correctly doesn't mean that's how
you behave in society. When I was a kid, I
was raised with a slightly different generations, different set of values,
different way of thinking. If I threw a tantrum, and
I did on a couple of occasions, I'd usually get smacked.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Okay, And back.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
In the day, if you're a kid and you threw
a tantrum, usually you got the shit smacked out of you,
quite and simple. But unfortunately, we can't do that no
more because actually, if you do smack your kid now,
you get arrested for it. Anyways, But recently, I was
visiting a business in the area and right next door
(15:54):
is a kid's daycare place and the kids, i mean
the weather was nice or the kids are outside in
the play area playing, you know, behind the fence and whatnot,
and one of the kids was was pitching a fit,
crying and yelling and being upset.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
So one of the counselors.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Or teachers or supervisors, overlords, whatever you want to call him,
was sitting there on his lazy ass, watching the kids,
and he's he's conducting a negotiation with this kid who's
pitching the fit.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
He's not saying to the kid, hey, stop doing that, sit.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Down and behave be nice, But no, he's negotiating. He's
asking the kid, why are you doing that? Why are
you acting that way? And you need to come over
here and sit down? Can you do you think you
can come over here and sit down? Why can't you
come over here and sit down? What seems to be
the issues and this is going on, I'm thinking to myself,
(16:55):
what the hell, mister, take off your belt and smacked
the kid across the ass, plain and simple, But no,
you're gonna turn it into a lengthy contract negotiation to
modify the child's behavior.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So the child grew up to be an adult.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
And pitched the same fit when he can't get his
way at McDonald's because they're all My ice cream machine
is broken and the Eggman muffins aren't there. No, I
should not have to put up with that from my
fellow human beings who are not raised correctly.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
So aside from.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Bad parenting, here's what I think is another factor in
the equation with people's behavior these days, in that everything
in society is so dramatic. Now have you noticed that
all the popular entertainment is so much drama and critical
situations and life are.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Death and oh my god, it's horrible.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
You don't You don't see, especially in this politically correct
world that we live in. You don't see the funny
stuff that we had years ago. When I was a
kid growing up, TV was a completely different animal. Okay, well,
we only had like three channels, But nonetheless, the point
of the matter is popular entertainment back in the day
was different. It did not take itself so seriously. There
(18:12):
was a lot of comedy, a lot of goofy comedy.
It made you laugh, it made you feel good.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
But no, we can't do that anymore. Now we gonna
have all the serious.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Crime dramas, you know, like Law and Order, dun D
d D and the spy shows and yeah, yea yea yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah whatever. You know, everything is so goddamn fucking
serious that we go out in the world with the
same mentality from this shit we were watching on TV
and taking it with the rest of the world.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Even the music these days is mostly garbage. I don't
know what idiots are coming up with this shit that
they call him music.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
But Christ doesn't have to make anyone want to jump
off a bridge with a ropeer on your neck. So
my point here in this little installment of this discussion
is lighten up.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Okay, life is not that serious, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Driving in this morning, I'm sitting in traffic, of course,
what else is new in York? And I'm a traffic
here and her school is driving by with a casket
in the back, And I thought to myself, you know what,
it's a pretty good day for me because I'm not
the guy in the back of the casket.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Unfortunate for him. So lighting up things could be worse.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
But don't don't take this serious dread mentality out in
the world, because it's only gonna lead you to be
nasty and mean. It's only human nature. Be happy, smile,
it'll make somewhat of a difference. Try not to take
it all so seriously. You know, if your chicken McNuggets
are cold when you get them, don't worry about it.
They'll be hot when they come out later on, so
(19:48):
don't pitch a.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Fit over it. It's goddamn frigging fast food. What do
you expect. Put things into perspective. Maybe life wants to be.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
So bad then you know you gotta in line a
little longer to buy your groceries.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Well, it's just too bad. Get over it. We all
have to stand in the line.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I know some of you expect your own personalized checkout
line at the store just for you, but it doesn't
quite work that way. And the next time that unruly
little goddamn bratt that you call a child throws a
tantrum in public, correct the kid smack his ass or
her ass whatever. Don't let that behavior continue because then
(20:29):
they're gonna grow up to be bad adults. For all
you know, if you let it go, your kid could
grow up to be the next goddamn hitler.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
We don't need that.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Get in check now, but let me bottom line this
for you. I know life can be difficult sometimes. I
know there are a lot of challenges out there. I
know things can get frustrating and people get to the
end of their rope and take it out on everybody else.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Well, that's not the way to do it.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
But let me give you a little bit of a
store analogy to kind of put it all into perspective.
During World War Two, when the Nazis were bombing the
hell out of Great Britain, particularly London, every single night
after night after night, the people of London took shelter
(21:20):
down in the subway tunnels. They were like makeshift air
raid shelters, bomb shelters if you will. It certainly was
not the best of accommodations. It was probably nothing short
of hell on earth. But according to those who were there,
they got along. In fact, they often had a good
(21:41):
time in themselves. It was like, you know, party on
every single night. And not to make light of the
horrific circumstances of war that was going on above them,
but their mentality was we could be dead tomorrow. They
could up a bomb on us and kill us all
(22:02):
and that'd be the end of it. So you know what,
live on, enjoy the moment, and have some fun. In short,
they made the best of a difficult set of circumstances
as they were crammed down in these subway tunnels trying
to protect their lives and their family and.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Families and whatnot. Their existence was far more worse.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
So well, you have currently in our society, at least
in this country, we have a pretty damn good for
the most part. There's no reason for us to act
the way we do. I've done this lecture countless times before,
and I'm sick of doing it all the time.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
So goddamn crabby.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Every time you go out in the world, smile a
little say hi to people, help somebody out, do the
right thing.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
And for some of those people in York.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Pennsylvania who would just bitch you all the time, even
when you're soud to sleep, you know what, lighten up,
change your attitude, just saying.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
So.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
As I get ready to close out this episode today,
let me take a moment to highlight one of the
most glaring examples of general, outright stupidity that you will
find anywhere. And I'm talking about the recent incident in
New Jersey where a young woman decided to climb into
(23:26):
the tiger enclosure at a local zoo. She went over
the fence and apparently taunted the tiger, upon which in
short order, the tiger lunged at her. Fortunately, she I guess,
got away and was not injured, and the authorities are
(23:49):
actually looking for her.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
They want to ask some questions because you just can't
do that.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I believe it is illegal to go jumping into the
cages with the wild animals at the zoo. And we're
talked talking here about a five hundred pound tiger. I
think it was a Bengal tiger. What in the hell
could she have been thinking? This is not the the
neighbors calico cat we're dealing with here. We're dealing with
a very large tiger who is going to have some
(24:17):
aggressive tendencies by by nature, to say the least. And fortunately,
like I said, she was not that this young woman
was not injured.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
But if she had been mauled, you.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Know, of course they would have they would have made
it out to be the fault of the poor tiger,
instead of placing the blame where it lies on on
this dumb bitch who decides, oh, I'm just gonna hop
the fence. Everything, everything is gonna be cool, and I'm
gonna taunt the tiger.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
We don't do that sort of thing because you probably
deserve to be mauled just because of your stupidity. And
as I like to say, this is another example of
the rich pageant of the world in which we live.
So if you're out there and you're at a zoo,
(25:08):
or you're gonna go to a zoo, stay on the
other side of the fence, because the animals in the
zoo don't want you in their enclosure area. And it's
not a good idea to do those things. Just look
at the animals. Enjoy these wonderful creatures, many of whom
are rare and endangered, but don't go in the cage
(25:28):
to play with them.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's not a bright thing to dope. Just saying. And
on that note, I'm now going to sign off.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I'd like to thank you for taking the taking the
time to listen to this masterpiece of audio flotsam. Please
feel free to subscribe to this podcast because it is
free to do so, and what harm could it possibly do, right,
I'm like an old friend who comes over to chat
with you once a week, just look at it that way.
So until next time, take care, be happy, please be nice,
(26:02):
don't be grumpy, don't go play with wild tigers at
the zoo.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
And it's so long for now, Bye bye,

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
