Ep. 300 - Serving Up Truth for 8 Years (No Folding Chairs Required)
After 300 episodes of back-and-forth volleys, Brad and David demonstrate the perfect match strategy: serve up the truth, return the nonsense with interest, and always remember that sometimes the best view is from the clubhouse bar.
While the world's elites have been double-faulting on everything from COVID responses to foreign policy, Brad and David have been calling the shots with Wimbledon precision. From Trump's power serves to Biden's unforced errors, from the BLM protests' net violations to the Me Too movement's questionable calls, our hosts have provided play-by-play commentary on eight years of political theater. They've watched politicians lob softballs to themselves while completely whiffing on easy volleys, all while the mainstream media kept score like they were being paid by one of the players.
The circus of American politics just keeps going to deuce, over and over, with no clear winner except the concession stands.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
In these bleak days, humanity is at a breaking point.
Economies are tanking, the woke mob is canceling everything, and
the little guy who's just trying to run a small
business is getting screwed from both ends. But not all
is lost. Amidst the chaos, two men offer up their
(00:26):
voices in the darkness, dropping two thousand pounds laser guided
truth bombs on today's lunacy, introducing the Sirens of Sanity,
David Pridham and l Bradley sheaf.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well. Brad, there it is, looks like we made it
by Barry. I'm sorry. That was wishful thinking right there.
It was actually the theme from the movie three hundred,
which you know again, I'm not gonna lie. I've seen
it once. Did I enjoy it? I think I did.
I think it was just a lot of fighting and whatnot.
But then I kind of get that in my mind.
(01:10):
I get that very confused with the Gladiator films and
then the Game of Thrones and the and the Lord
of the Ring.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Boll Buddy, I mean there's a lot in common there.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I mean, that's all said in ancient times, there's a
lot of physical combat.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
But setting all of that historical stuff aside.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It is.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
It is our three hundredth episode. Hence the reference to
the movie.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
And our episodes go back. We started this, you and
I started this in March of twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I was gonna ask you that was it, twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
March ninth, okay, March ninth, twenty seventeen was our first episode.
And at that point we were contracted with to provide
analysis on the ip elyncial property Hall of Fame, and
so we did a lot of talking about that and nonsense.
But then we had a scarless producer who we fired,
and now we're we've been on the right track ever
(02:04):
since about episode fifty or sixty, and it just hasn't
stopped since then. It's been, uh, it's been it's been crazy.
You think you think the you think the Martians at
the Battle of Thermopola had added added bad and listen,
we've been under pressure. Yeah, yeah, Kazu the Great.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Can you imagine you get all the way here from
Mars and you run into the Spartans. You think, well,
this will be easy, we'll just we'll take over it out.
You run into the Spartans and those crazy bastards old
jof for a few days.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Hm. Tom Misso is a hell of a coach too,
especially if it's in that zone we went, you know,
sort of the floating zone. You don't know what to do.
You're not gonna score eighty in that game.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Oh well, see always looks.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
The thing about tom Izzo is that he always looks
incredibly pissed off right like you don't want to mess
with it.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
He looks like an angry Italian that you don't want
to get it, you know, sideways.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
With It's probably that's probably the pre game.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
At the post game, you know, when he's driving home,
when he's having a bird, he just looks.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Off another guy except for his national titles, never won
the big game. But that's neither here nor there. So listen.
It's the three hundredth episode of the Pritam and Chief podcast.

is going on in the world today. But I don't
know if you know this. Last weekend I made a trip.
I think you may know this. I made a trip
to New York City.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I did.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I did.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I didn't know that you were doing that, But I
know nothing beyond that.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Purposely, you purposely don't, okay, because we don't communicate about
things that are going to be on the podcast. It's
like a virgin bride and the husband before not the husband,
the fiance before the wedding.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I think is what you're going for there, groom, fiance,
whatever it is, doesn't matter, not not important to the story,
but keeps them separate.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
No coitus until the podcast, and then you have coitus
were at least in spirit on the podcast. Maybe that's
a bad way to put it. Yeah, yeah, but in
any you know, we don't want to have this, I hope.
So so go to New York and went there because
my wife for Father's Day got me, got us two
tickets to the US Open Tennis, you know, the US
(05:54):
Open Tennis. Yeah, yeah, well that's going to tell you.
So we get to New York. It takes three hours
to get to New York from our house, and then
we end up on Madison Avenue and we have to
get over to No. We ended up on Park Avenue.
We to get to Madison to get to the hotel,
the street's blocked off, so it's like sixty third is
(06:14):
blocked off, then sixty fifth is blocked so then we
go back on the other side and he's get to
just take a right and every street's blocked off. It
took us three hours to get to this place, and
then took us an hour and a half to get
over one because there was a labor parade, Union parade,
labor parade up Fifth Avenue, and all the streets were closed.
(06:36):
And we stop and I sold it. I said, ask
the police officer was a police officer every corner, I said,
ask him where you can turn? So he asked the guy.
And then the police officer doesn't speak much English, but
he says, you can go down to forty second and
take a right, which everyone was doing. Keep you at
this point where at like sixtieth or you can loop
around and you can go up to seventy eighth and
(06:59):
take a left. And you're thinking, okay, well this is
it makes no freaking no sense in the world. But
you so we go up to seventy whatever, seventy eighth
to take a left and that took It took almost
as long as the drive from Rhode Island to get
over two blocks with the luggage because we couldn't just
get out one of these things get on walk. We
couldn't even get on walk because the bags were in
(07:20):
the car.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Okay, well there you go.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
So there's that, okay, but you eventually do reach the hotel.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Eventually reached the hotel. We had a nice dinner and
then the next day get up and then the tennis
starts at two o'clock in Queens and that's four miles
from our hotel. Okay, four miles And so I asked you, yeah,
since I got yeah, it's a warm up for Patrick
as he's getting ready for the marathon, speaking of which,
(07:50):
on Sunday they closed off Fifth Avenue and I saw
people racing by, and so I told I texted Patrick,
I said, you you're running today? And he sent me
some pithy response about he's raised up being till no
vem but he thought he knew what brace was. I
was watching him. Then I just oh, disengaged at that point.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
But anyway, an AI for races in New York.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, exactly, exactly, much less information, and so I we
call the concierge. We want to make sure we have
plenty of time. We have a guy driving us to
the thing. They said, you know, you could take the
seven train in the subway out there. But then, of
course we've been seeing nothing but this woman getting stabbed
in the neck in Charlotte. You see that.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I did not say that, but I mean, am I surprised?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
No? Oh, And this Ukrainian woman who took refugee status here,
twenty three year old girl is in Charlotte, North Carolina
working a pizza job. I'm surprised you haven't heard about this.
And she's sitting on a train and behind her is
this gentleman and it's a typical racial thing. Right. She's
(08:51):
a white woman from Ukraine and he's an African American.
He's got this red hoodie on. This guy's been arrested
twenty some odd times, I mean nineteen times. He's been
for serious stuff, right, and Charleston, of course, I'm sorry Charlotte,
North Carolina. Charlotte, not Charleston. Charlotte has a policy of
you know, if you don't like kill the pope, you
get out on cash. This his bail. So this guy's
(09:13):
been out on bail literally nineteen times. They know he's
got mental mental health issues. But I guess because he's
got mental health issues, they can't hold him, which makes
no frigging sense, because those are people you probably would
want to hold.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
The crazier you are, the more likely you are to
be on the street somebody.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah. So she's on this subway. She's sitting there, she's
in her pizza uniform with her hat, and it's there.
There are tape, there are videos of this. It's horrible,
and she's on her phone and she's just sitting there,
you know, maybe aways one hundred pounds soaking wet. This
guy's right behind her looking at her. He stands up,
takes a knife, plunges it into her let her throat,
pulls it out. You know, he's there's blood everywhere. He's
(09:47):
like walking off the train. All these people are just
sitting there around her. She puts her head in her
hands and starts to cry. And then when in five
seconds she slumps over and is dead.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Dead is an attempt to help her?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Nope, are people sitting next to her, and people sitting
in the back road don't even move. I mean, it's
just the most part.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
That's the part that makes me the angriish. But I
got to tell you, I mean.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Maybe I've just become agnored to the violence in our
cities because you know, I mean, you can literally get
the same story every day. But the fact what happened
to American culture where we don't help people? You know,
you hear these stories all the time. There was some
couple that went to a concert I don't remember where
recently though, within the last month, and they were jumped,
(10:33):
you know, by a bunch of of just thugs, and
they were literally nearly beaten to death. The woman has
brain damage, and no one called nine to one one.
I mean, don't even picked up their effing cell phone,
which everyone has to call the play. I mean, not
only did no one step in and say, hey, wait
a minute, maybe we shouldn't just wantonly beat people to death.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
No one called for the police.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Well why why why.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Would no one help a girl who'd been stabbed in
the neck?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I have no idea. There are people sitting behind her,
there are people's a woman sitting across the aisle from her,
and she just kind of grabbed her purse. And again,
I don't know, but people could have been in shock,
they could have been scared. I don't know, but man,
it looked like no one went to help her, and
it was just one of the most horrific things I've
ever seen. And uh it, the poor girl was sitting there,
(11:27):
She's like at her head in her hands, her hats
flies off, she's got blood on her knee, and then
she just crumples to the ground and just just just
and you think about it, like you know, you got daughters,
I've got you just think about that, and you just
it's unfricking believable that this that this thing, that this
thing happened. It's just un believable.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Well, then there'll be all kinds of platitudes from the
mayor and the chief of police.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Oh, we won't rest until we find this guy.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Bullshit.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Well they got the guy.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
They got the guy, right, I mean, but that's it,
I mean, the whole We're horrified by this. We don't
know how this happens. This is not our city, yes
it is.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yes, it is your city.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
And I just sent you the you want to take
a look at it. I just sent you the video.
It's just it's just horrific. It's you see the people,
you can see the people. It's it's good to it's
it's good to watch because the people it's not good
to watch. But the people are just sitting around her.
No one gets up and says, are you okay? The
woman grabs her purse next to her, just looks at
her and gets up and walks off, and then she crumples.
To me, it's just it's just absolutely horrible. And uh
(12:30):
but I mean, and at the end of the day,
this is the context of why my wife won't get
on the the seven train. But you know, it's just
just absolutely horrific. But and by the way, they should
get rid of cashlet's bail and these these people need
there's like blood all over the floor, and no one
goes near this poor woman, and she just just imagine
what she was thinking at this time. It's just oh anyway,
(12:51):
but but uh yeah, okay, I gotta turn this off.
But yeah, so we don't take the tray. We take
and we leave at twelve to go four miles. You
know where the Shaye Stadium used to be, and this
is where the new Mets Stadium is.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I do know where Shaye Stadium used to be. I've
not been to the new Mets Stadium, but I had
been to the old one.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
To Shay.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's right there. It's right there, fleshing queens, I think,
is what it's called. Okay, and so we get in
the car, we head out there, and we make it. It
might have been nine miles, but been an even We
made it like eight miles in you know, thirty minutes,
like twelve thirty, twelve forty five. And I'm fine because
I'm watching the Patriots get rocked by the Raiders on
(13:37):
my phone at one o'clock.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I gonna ask you about that.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, no, so I put that on. But then you're
inching closer and then everywhere around you look up and
you see three helicopters in the air, but just I've
never seen helicopters in the air just staying in one location.
I'm sure you have never I'd never seen that before,
and I'd certainly never seen three of them. Right, So
there's one overhead, one of the right went to the left,
(14:01):
probably about you know, a few hundred yards apart, maybe
a little more, just hovering, and they're like people on
the side of the road videotaping this thing and stuff
on their phones, so like what's going on, and the
driver as well, you know, Trump, Trump's going to the
US Open today, and so they've shut down all the
airspace around the thing. And he said it's a big
point of contention because a lot of rich people take
(14:23):
there's a there's a taxi service by helicopter that you
can take in New York to these events, but they
shut the they shut all the airspace down. So these
helicopters there to make sure that no rich people fly
in on their helicopter and violent. Because I guess Trump
was I don't know exactly how he whether he stayed
in Manhattan, Yeah, hell yeah, I'm sure he did. So
(14:44):
we get to the thing and it's like it's like
one thirty and at this point the Patriots are losing anyway,
so it's like one thirty. We get out and the
guy drops us literally as far as you can. You
can see the stadium and you can almost touch it,
but he dropped you as far as you could possibly
be from the state. You know, you'd have to walk,
So we had to go and walk about a mile.
(15:04):
You get to walk all the way down this filthy
parking lot up over the thing in this boardwalk, past
the met stadium of just crazy. And then you get
there and there's secret service at the front gate, and
so you have to go through a security thing and
it's fine. It takes about fifteen minutes to go through
the security thing. We missed the first set completely, and
(15:25):
we're moving. When I say inches, you're moving inches and
inches because all these people are converging on these metal detectors.
Everyone's got to go through one of the ten. There's
not another entrance on the other side. That's it. This
is it. And so we finally get through and then
I'm like, wif have to go to the restroom. The
line for the restroom was similar to this. Yeah, just
(15:46):
a total catastrophe. So we get in, we go to
our sit in our seat. We could give the woman
the thing for the seats right, and they bring us
up to the wrong section because they wouldn't let us
go to the section we were in, and then the
woman it takes two foldings. I've never had this happen
to me before. Take my wife spent these tickets were
not cheap. She got them for Father's Day for me,
and they were not cheap. She takes two folding chairs out,
(16:09):
bangs them down in the middle of like a bunch
of people in either wheelchairs or other folding chairs, and says,
you could sit here. And we're like, well, I don't
think these are our Why.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Couldn't you go to that? Yeah, why couldn't you go
to your section?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
And she said these are your seats And I said,
but I don't think these are our seats because this
sension says, you know, two hundred something and we're in
one hundred something. She's like, no, no, no, these are your seats.
And I said, well, can we just go because they
wouldn't let us down on the first level for some reason.
I don't no idea it could have been. I mean
Trump was there and sitting in a box. But I
don't know why that would Yeah, And so then we
(16:41):
stayed there for like because the view was terrible, you know,
like literally I couldn't see the ball. So we we
spent several hours trying to get in. Couldn't go to
the bathroom in there. There's no way. My wife asked
for a because there was a line the wall. You
can get a water, there was a line that we left.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Oh that sounds like a good idea.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, just get out of there. We gotta beat the traffic.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Imagine you did.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
And then you find a nice little bistro or something.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
You can get a glass of wine that has a
big screen four KTV because those things are like twenty
five dollars now to buy. Yeah, largely because of our
intellectual property.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
By the way, we do control the display market.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
We do. And that's what you do. You enjoy your wine,
you watch the tennis, you can see the ball, you
can see the players. Yeah, that's what you do, and
you just write the whole thing off and you say,
you know what, that was a good life experience.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We successfully met the challenge.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
We got to our seats, our folding.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Chairs, well they weren't our seats.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Some woman pulled out of her ass and put down stadium.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
And you say, so, now that we've done that, we
don't ever have to do that again, and we can
sit in this nice bistro with this nice wine and.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Uh and watch the tennis. But that's about it. The
Patriot I don't even go to the Patriots games anymore
because they're like, it's such a production and there's no
and then you just like you get be a panic
about the traffic, and then you over eat, you overdrink,
and then you just want to go home and go
to bed. And the next day all you do is
think about you're never gonna do that again.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
So and how much money you spent to be miserable?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, but you'd spend double not to do it, that's
the thing.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Oh well, that's precisely. Yeah, as like a ransom to
get yourself out of it, you would definitely spend double,
which brings us back frankly to three hundred, because I
would have gone with Thermopoli. There was a big crowd
there too, mostly Persians, but I would have gone to that.
But the rest of this, it's just I'm again, unless
(18:40):
my child or grandchild or cousin or somebody who's playing.
I'm not going.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I'm going to watch it on my television from my couch.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Well, you know what's interesting is that a lot of
a lot of people went out to see the Battle
of bull Run, a lot of Congress people.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
That's true, they drove. Yeah, the Civil War was a
spectator sport for the first couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
And now not for long though, because once the seuth
won that battle, then they all I tailed it back
to DC and hid. But in any of it, that's neither.
And it's also manassas. The South looked at it as manassas.
It was interesting, you know, the woe of Noeldan aggression,
as they say. But my dear friend who's still trying
to secede from the Union from Palo Alto or San
(19:23):
Clementary wherever he's from. So what I thought would be
interesting is taking a look since we've been doing this
since twenty seventeen, I asked our friend Groc for the
top stories that you and I have dealt with in
since twenty seventeen. Right, and Groc. The first response was, way,
you don't want to talk about Oswald and JFK, because
that's pretty much what we talk about NonStop. And I said, no,
(19:44):
I'd like to talk about this and so in no
particular order. Well, actually know that it is in an order.
It could be, no, I'm not sure. Maybe it does
rate these in disorder. Is the top ten stories since
we started the podcast. Number one, it puts COVID number two,
Trump's first term, three, the BLM protests and the Lloyd
(20:07):
George deal, four Russia Ukraine, five, the Me Too movement, six,
climate change, seven Biden, eight Israel Hamas and then nine
global rise of authoritarianism in particular Brexit, Brazil, India, who knows?
(20:33):
And then number ten it's crockets, and then number ten
is AI the AI boom.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
That's a little self serving on rocks.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
It is, it is. We've really dealt with all these,
but I thought it made It's made sense for like
the last few minutes, because we've spent the majority of
the three hundredth episode graping about traffic patterns after sporting events.
I thought it makes sense to talk through some of
these and where we uh, you know, where we have
spent our time over the past few years and what
(21:07):
we think is the most compelling. Now, if that is
not the direction you want to go, we can talk
about some asteroid related stuff and I'm open either way.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
And I think Kevin, that it's the three hundredth episode,
we should probably do at least a little bit of
a retrospective. I can state relatively definitively that I remember
all of the top ten and you know, us discussing them,
with the exception of number nine, which was the global
(21:42):
rise of authoritarianism, and somehow an example of that is Brexit,
which might be nationalism, but I don't understand that.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
But other than that, I think I could discuss any
of that.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, I have no it's just there. And I'm surprised
that Groc is doing this to us, but you know
it mentions Trump, but I don't, you know, But but Grock,
you know, that's a creation of one, uh, what's his name, Musk,
So you know he's not one he doesn't necessarily get along.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
With Tu's that's Musk's Ai Grock.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Grock correct, Well.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
There, Yeah, they had a little bit of a falling out.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
The colossal arrogance and and you know, just self absorption
of the two of them smacked in to each other.
And that caused a problem.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It's not what you're looking for.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
No, No, I mean that maybe that's the global rise
of authoritarianism. I don't know. I don't, I don't. I
do not feel like authoritarianism is on the rise globally
nears that I can tell. But maybe this I do
remember Joe Biden was a sad face in American history
as we watched a poor guy, you know, the cheese
(23:00):
slide right off his cracker while everyone pretended that I
was fine and no one provided any care for the guy.
I remember that.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
I remember COVID, and we embarrassed ourselves there as well
as the country as we all panicked and locked our doors,
treated other humans as though.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I mean, that was unbelievable, and you know what, you know,
what's amazing.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
I can think of a lot of amazing things.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But no, we did this show during COVID. You and
I just we marched on, yes and listen, if there's
a if there's a zombie apocalypse type deal, when I
would still do the show and as long as we could.
I mean, you're you're in a much better position, in
a ford more fortified position than I am. I mean,
you've got the high ground up there.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Yeah, but the other thing you got. I am on
the high ground and I like that. But what you
have is you have water at your back, right, So
unless there's an amphibious force of zombies, you can get
your back up against that water and you just have
one front to fight on. I mean, they're gonna be
coming at you from the land. I presume.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
I don't know about zombies. Maybe there's a they don't
swim zombies. Who are you know, skilled in sailing. That
could be a thing. But if there's not, you've only
got one front to fight on. You get your back
up against that shoreline and you go to town.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I don't think they like to get wet. They like cats.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Zombies they don't like the water.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I do cats not like to get wet?
Speaker 4 (24:26):
No, cats hate to get wet. You don't have a cat, No,
I don't have a cat.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
But I you know, you know that I can't give
a cat a bath.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, we have a cat.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Give do you give ganga a bath?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
No? I mean I tried once and I got clawed,
but I stopped.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
See that's precisely my point, and that's why, right, that's
what the cat.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
That's why the cat did it. The cat said, you
know what, it's not that I don't like this guy,
but if he tries to put me in that water,
I'm going to gouge his eyes out, and then that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
But yeah, so anyway, we'll keep doing this during the
We'll keep doing this and any type of zombie apocalypse
as long as we can. And then if one of
us turns into a zombie, then.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
I don't know how the show's got to do it.
The other one's got to do it.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
To keep you on the show. Yeah, the others just
gotta go, well, I gotta.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
I mean, if one of us becomes a zombie, the
other one's got to step up and become a zombie. Yeah,
I mean if one you can't do the show with
one zombie and one not zombie, it would be terrible.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I started watching that movie Sinners. You see that movie.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
I know what you're talking about. I have not seen
the movie, although I heard it got rave reviews and
was very good. I don't like horror movies, so I
I am not inclined to watch it.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Was I you know, I I thought it was. I've
seen it. Yeah, I've seen about forty five minutes of it, it
seemed good. We had to turn it off because the
kids came into the room and it was not not appropriate.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
The same guy plays two roles, right, he plays himself.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
And that's why I'm thinking of this, because right when
I turned it off, one of them was about to
be I'm a vampire, not of his choosing, by the
way it seemed like, and I mean, I could have
gone a different direction, but I'm pretty sure he was
about to become a vampire. So if one of us,
but I mean, I don't think the other one wanted
to become a vampire. So it wasn't like he said,
you know, let me.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's so better than zombie though, buddy,
I mean, if we had to choice, like look at
the stock to us and said, yeah, a little one
came and said, listen, you we want you to continue
to do the podcast, but you either have to do
it as a zombie or a vampire. I'm going vampire
the time.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Oh yeah, absolutely, that's fat. I really don't want to
talk about Black Lives Matter or Russia, but that me too.
Movement that's interesting, and uh, you know that's all this
This it's it's this feminist stuff, and then it's the uh,
but it's also the uh. Yeah. I got an email
(26:53):
from someone who is a major attorney at I want
to say any c America, or maybe it's any c Asia,
I don't know. But they had their pronouns in the
in the box. I haven't seen that a while. People
have been dropping that left and right. But this person,
she she the one of his gender, she she had
(27:15):
that in there. But you know what's interesting about this
is now you've got this whole counterculture there, the Karen
thing where you know, people are getting called Karen's for
being too up on the me too stuff and the
you know, I'm not talking about inappropriate things or violations
the law. Obviously that's disgusting. But one thing that heart,
that that that softened my heart, that made me feel
(27:38):
warm my heart. But I way to put it is
the other day, I wake up, get a cup of coffee,
and then I pull up the the usually start and
read the news on the on the computer and go
to like the New York Times, and I'll read the
Wall Street Journal, and then I pull up Twitter to
get my news feed, and there's this woman who looks
like Elizabeth Warren on the news feed and this is
(27:59):
like seven in the morning, six in the morning, who
like tried to get shit in a Phillies Jersey and
she missed a fly ball and it went to this
other guy and the guy gave it to his kid
and then she went running after him. And then but
let me tell you something. So I started going through
the newsfeed and this woman was on was on ninety
percent of the news feed, and this is just a
(28:21):
general Twitter newsfeed. And it started with look at this
awful person, look at this, Karen, look at this, look
at that, and then it went and then it devolved
to we need to find out her name. She can
never loo because they, you know, are doing the same
thing that a lot of the me too and a
lot of the BLM stuff LGBT that that's that they
tried to do, but they do it better. And so
by the time you're done, you can't even scroll anymore
(28:43):
because you're exhausted, and this woman is in ninety percent
of all everything on Twitter. At that point, they start
super imposing Elizabeth Warren's face on hers. They there's one
video I said, this is what I'm saying is this
was done within less than twelve hours of this thing happening,
because this is like six in the morning. This happened
at like nine o'clock the night before in Miami. And
(29:05):
there was one video that I saw that someone used
AI where she ran over and grabbed the ball and
then she comes back and they morph her face into
Gollum from the Lord of the Rings and she's just
staring at the ball. And I have no idea how
they did it. They used AI, but it's just brilliant stuff.
And uh and you know that's this is probably what
al Gore had in mind when he invented the Internet.
(29:27):
Things like this. And we've been We've been here. It
is great. We've been here for it. We've been here
for it.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
The whole thing, the Internet, COVID, the whole thing, Karen
stealing baseball's we've been here for the whole thing. Yeah,
took us three hundred episodes to get here, but we
did it. We weren't afraid of it.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
No, much like the Martians at Thermopola. We stood our ground.
We hovered. They hovered it more than hovered.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Yeah, I mean they tried to hover her, but the
Spartan's pulled him right down, stabbed him in the you know.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
They got Magic Johnson to Greg Kelsey for stuff. Yeah,
on the back.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Right right, yeah, tom Izzo in the lead teeth, Baird
Ferry helmet on before that, the green and white checkered
sport coat. Mm hmmm over starting in his arm pit. Yeah,
it was great.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Nick Sabden cotched that football team. Do it any of it?
I think, But it's interesting. So there's been a lot
of things we've we've talked about. I think I think
resolved a lot of things we resolved. I think there
are a lot of things we have we have yet
to resolve. That that we'll get to four hundreds on
the horizon two years away, two more, two more. John
(30:39):
Giggan in by every time.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
We reach a new centenary number, right, every time we
reach a new one hundred, you have to go to
the US Open. Yeah, but I see there you go.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
We've we've done this three hundred times. Some would say
we're better at it than when we started. Some would
disagree with that, but it doesn't matter. We've done it.
We've showed up every week three hundred weeks. But in
our time, hunched the clock, got the news out there
discussed all the issues, good, bad, ugly. Watch the country,
(31:12):
you know, begin to descend into madness. Here we're still
at the job. We're still on the job. We'll always
be on the job. We'll be back here for four hundred,
but we'll start we'll start with three oh one, because
that's how you do it. You don't cheat, you don't,
you know, put you know, round up. We'll be here
for three oh one next week. I'd be frequently.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
This has been IP frequently, once again clearing a forest
of lies with the machete of truth.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
You're welcome.
In these bleak days, humanity is at a breaking point.
Economies are tanking, the woke mob is canceling everything, and
the little guy who's just trying to run a small
business is getting screwed from both ends. But not all
is lost. Amidst the chaos, two men offer up their
(00:26):
voices in the darkness, dropping two thousand pounds laser guided
truth bombs on today's lunacy, introducing the Sirens of Sanity,
David Pridham and l Bradley sheaf.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well. Brad, there it is, looks like we made it
by Barry. I'm sorry. That was wishful thinking right there.
It was actually the theme from the movie three hundred,
which you know again, I'm not gonna lie. I've seen
it once. Did I enjoy it? I think I did.
I think it was just a lot of fighting and whatnot.
But then I kind of get that in my mind.
(01:10):
I get that very confused with the Gladiator films and
then the Game of Thrones and the and the Lord
of the Ring.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Boll Buddy, I mean there's a lot in common there.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I mean, that's all said in ancient times, there's a
lot of physical combat.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
But setting all of that historical stuff aside.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It is.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
It is our three hundredth episode. Hence the reference to
the movie.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
And our episodes go back. We started this, you and
I started this in March of twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I was gonna ask you that was it, twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
March ninth, okay, March ninth, twenty seventeen was our first episode.
And at that point we were contracted with to provide
analysis on the ip elyncial property Hall of Fame, and
so we did a lot of talking about that and nonsense.
But then we had a scarless producer who we fired,
and now we're we've been on the right track ever
(02:04):
since about episode fifty or sixty, and it just hasn't
stopped since then. It's been, uh, it's been it's been crazy.
You think you think the you think the Martians at
the Battle of Thermopola had added added bad and listen,
we've been under pressure. Yeah, yeah, Kazu the Great.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Can you imagine you get all the way here from
Mars and you run into the Spartans. You think, well,
this will be easy, we'll just we'll take over it out.
You run into the Spartans and those crazy bastards old
jof for a few days.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Hm. Tom Misso is a hell of a coach too,
especially if it's in that zone we went, you know,
sort of the floating zone. You don't know what to do.
You're not gonna score eighty in that game.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Oh well, see always looks.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
The thing about tom Izzo is that he always looks
incredibly pissed off right like you don't want to mess
with it.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
He looks like an angry Italian that you don't want
to get it, you know, sideways.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
With It's probably that's probably the pre game.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
At the post game, you know, when he's driving home,
when he's having a bird, he just looks.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Off another guy except for his national titles, never won
the big game. But that's neither here nor there. So listen.
It's the three hundredth episode of the Pritam and Chief podcast.
More those those playing the home game, No, it's really

of zombie kings. We are we are going to be
here for you, at least in theory. I mean again,
you don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
We'd like to be for sure.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, yeah, hopefully one of us will be here for you.
But in any event that you know, we'll be here

is going on in the world today. But I don't
know if you know this. Last weekend I made a trip.
I think you may know this. I made a trip
to New York City.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
I did.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I did.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I didn't know that you were doing that, But I
know nothing beyond that.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Purposely, you purposely don't, okay, because we don't communicate about
things that are going to be on the podcast. It's
like a virgin bride and the husband before not the husband,
the fiance before the wedding.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I think is what you're going for there, groom, fiance,
whatever it is, doesn't matter, not not important to the story,
but keeps them separate.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
No coitus until the podcast, and then you have coitus
were at least in spirit on the podcast. Maybe that's
a bad way to put it. Yeah, yeah, but in
any you know, we don't want to have this, I hope.
So so go to New York and went there because
my wife for Father's Day got me, got us two
tickets to the US Open Tennis, you know, the US
(05:54):
Open Tennis. Yeah, yeah, well that's going to tell you.
So we get to New York. It takes three hours
to get to New York from our house, and then
we end up on Madison Avenue and we have to
get over to No. We ended up on Park Avenue.
We to get to Madison to get to the hotel,
the street's blocked off, so it's like sixty third is
(06:14):
blocked off, then sixty fifth is blocked so then we
go back on the other side and he's get to
just take a right and every street's blocked off. It
took us three hours to get to this place, and
then took us an hour and a half to get
over one because there was a labor parade, Union parade,
labor parade up Fifth Avenue, and all the streets were closed.
(06:36):
And we stop and I sold it. I said, ask
the police officer was a police officer every corner, I said,
ask him where you can turn? So he asked the guy.
And then the police officer doesn't speak much English, but
he says, you can go down to forty second and
take a right, which everyone was doing. Keep you at
this point where at like sixtieth or you can loop
around and you can go up to seventy eighth and
(06:59):
take a left. And you're thinking, okay, well this is
it makes no freaking no sense in the world. But
you so we go up to seventy whatever, seventy eighth
to take a left and that took It took almost
as long as the drive from Rhode Island to get
over two blocks with the luggage because we couldn't just
get out one of these things get on walk. We
couldn't even get on walk because the bags were in
(07:20):
the car.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Okay, well there you go.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
So there's that, okay, but you eventually do reach the hotel.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Eventually reached the hotel. We had a nice dinner and
then the next day get up and then the tennis
starts at two o'clock in Queens and that's four miles
from our hotel. Okay, four miles And so I asked you, yeah,
since I got yeah, it's a warm up for Patrick
as he's getting ready for the marathon, speaking of which,
(07:50):
on Sunday they closed off Fifth Avenue and I saw
people racing by, and so I told I texted Patrick,
I said, you you're running today? And he sent me
some pithy response about he's raised up being till no
vem but he thought he knew what brace was. I
was watching him. Then I just oh, disengaged at that point.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
But anyway, an AI for races in New York.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, exactly, exactly, much less information, and so I we
call the concierge. We want to make sure we have
plenty of time. We have a guy driving us to
the thing. They said, you know, you could take the
seven train in the subway out there. But then, of
course we've been seeing nothing but this woman getting stabbed
in the neck in Charlotte. You see that.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I did not say that, but I mean, am I surprised?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
No? Oh, And this Ukrainian woman who took refugee status here,
twenty three year old girl is in Charlotte, North Carolina
working a pizza job. I'm surprised you haven't heard about this.
And she's sitting on a train and behind her is
this gentleman and it's a typical racial thing. Right. She's
(08:51):
a white woman from Ukraine and he's an African American.
He's got this red hoodie on. This guy's been arrested
twenty some odd times, I mean nineteen times. He's been
for serious stuff, right, and Charleston, of course, I'm sorry Charlotte,
North Carolina. Charlotte, not Charleston. Charlotte has a policy of
you know, if you don't like kill the pope, you
get out on cash. This his bail. So this guy's
(09:13):
been out on bail literally nineteen times. They know he's
got mental mental health issues. But I guess because he's
got mental health issues, they can't hold him, which makes
no frigging sense, because those are people you probably would
want to hold.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
The crazier you are, the more likely you are to
be on the street somebody.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah. So she's on this subway. She's sitting there, she's
in her pizza uniform with her hat, and it's there.
There are tape, there are videos of this. It's horrible,
and she's on her phone and she's just sitting there,
you know, maybe aways one hundred pounds soaking wet. This
guy's right behind her looking at her. He stands up,
takes a knife, plunges it into her let her throat,
pulls it out. You know, he's there's blood everywhere. He's
(09:47):
like walking off the train. All these people are just
sitting there around her. She puts her head in her
hands and starts to cry. And then when in five
seconds she slumps over and is dead.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Dead is an attempt to help her?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Nope, are people sitting next to her, and people sitting
in the back road don't even move. I mean, it's
just the most part.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
That's the part that makes me the angriish. But I
got to tell you, I mean.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Maybe I've just become agnored to the violence in our
cities because you know, I mean, you can literally get
the same story every day. But the fact what happened
to American culture where we don't help people? You know,
you hear these stories all the time. There was some
couple that went to a concert I don't remember where
recently though, within the last month, and they were jumped,
(10:33):
you know, by a bunch of of just thugs, and
they were literally nearly beaten to death. The woman has
brain damage, and no one called nine to one one.
I mean, don't even picked up their effing cell phone,
which everyone has to call the play. I mean, not
only did no one step in and say, hey, wait
a minute, maybe we shouldn't just wantonly beat people to death.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
No one called for the police.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Well why why why.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Would no one help a girl who'd been stabbed in
the neck?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I have no idea. There are people sitting behind her,
there are people's a woman sitting across the aisle from her,
and she just kind of grabbed her purse. And again,
I don't know, but people could have been in shock,
they could have been scared. I don't know, but man,
it looked like no one went to help her, and
it was just one of the most horrific things I've
ever seen. And uh it, the poor girl was sitting there,
(11:27):
She's like at her head in her hands, her hats
flies off, she's got blood on her knee, and then
she just crumples to the ground and just just just
and you think about it, like you know, you got daughters,
I've got you just think about that, and you just
it's unfricking believable that this that this thing, that this
thing happened. It's just un believable.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Well, then there'll be all kinds of platitudes from the
mayor and the chief of police.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Oh, we won't rest until we find this guy.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Bullshit.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Well they got the guy.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
They got the guy, right, I mean, but that's it,
I mean, the whole We're horrified by this. We don't
know how this happens. This is not our city, yes
it is.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yes, it is your city.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
And I just sent you the you want to take
a look at it. I just sent you the video.
It's just it's just horrific. It's you see the people,
you can see the people. It's it's good to it's
it's good to watch because the people it's not good
to watch. But the people are just sitting around her.
No one gets up and says, are you okay? The
woman grabs her purse next to her, just looks at
her and gets up and walks off, and then she crumples.
To me, it's just it's just absolutely horrible. And uh
(12:30):
but I mean, and at the end of the day,
this is the context of why my wife won't get
on the the seven train. But you know, it's just
just absolutely horrific. But and by the way, they should
get rid of cashlet's bail and these these people need
there's like blood all over the floor, and no one
goes near this poor woman, and she just just imagine
what she was thinking at this time. It's just oh anyway,
(12:51):
but but uh yeah, okay, I gotta turn this off.
But yeah, so we don't take the tray. We take
and we leave at twelve to go four miles. You
know where the Shaye Stadium used to be, and this
is where the new Mets Stadium is.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I do know where Shaye Stadium used to be. I've
not been to the new Mets Stadium, but I had
been to the old one.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
To Shay.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It's right there. It's right there, fleshing queens, I think,
is what it's called. Okay, and so we get in
the car, we head out there, and we make it. It
might have been nine miles, but been an even We
made it like eight miles in you know, thirty minutes,
like twelve thirty, twelve forty five. And I'm fine because
I'm watching the Patriots get rocked by the Raiders on
(13:37):
my phone at one o'clock.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I gonna ask you about that.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, no, so I put that on. But then you're
inching closer and then everywhere around you look up and
you see three helicopters in the air, but just I've
never seen helicopters in the air just staying in one location.
I'm sure you have never I'd never seen that before,
and I'd certainly never seen three of them. Right, So
there's one overhead, one of the right went to the left,
(14:01):
probably about you know, a few hundred yards apart, maybe
a little more, just hovering, and they're like people on
the side of the road videotaping this thing and stuff
on their phones, so like what's going on, and the
driver as well, you know, Trump, Trump's going to the
US Open today, and so they've shut down all the
airspace around the thing. And he said it's a big
point of contention because a lot of rich people take
(14:23):
there's a there's a taxi service by helicopter that you
can take in New York to these events, but they
shut the they shut all the airspace down. So these
helicopters there to make sure that no rich people fly
in on their helicopter and violent. Because I guess Trump
was I don't know exactly how he whether he stayed
in Manhattan, Yeah, hell yeah, I'm sure he did. So
(14:44):
we get to the thing and it's like it's like
one thirty and at this point the Patriots are losing anyway,
so it's like one thirty. We get out and the
guy drops us literally as far as you can. You
can see the stadium and you can almost touch it,
but he dropped you as far as you could possibly
be from the state. You know, you'd have to walk,
So we had to go and walk about a mile.
(15:04):
You get to walk all the way down this filthy
parking lot up over the thing in this boardwalk, past
the met stadium of just crazy. And then you get
there and there's secret service at the front gate, and
so you have to go through a security thing and
it's fine. It takes about fifteen minutes to go through
the security thing. We missed the first set completely, and
(15:25):
we're moving. When I say inches, you're moving inches and
inches because all these people are converging on these metal detectors.
Everyone's got to go through one of the ten. There's
not another entrance on the other side. That's it. This
is it. And so we finally get through and then
I'm like, wif have to go to the restroom. The
line for the restroom was similar to this. Yeah, just
(15:46):
a total catastrophe. So we get in, we go to
our sit in our seat. We could give the woman
the thing for the seats right, and they bring us
up to the wrong section because they wouldn't let us
go to the section we were in, and then the
woman it takes two foldings. I've never had this happen
to me before. Take my wife spent these tickets were
not cheap. She got them for Father's Day for me,
and they were not cheap. She takes two folding chairs out,
(16:09):
bangs them down in the middle of like a bunch
of people in either wheelchairs or other folding chairs, and says,
you could sit here. And we're like, well, I don't
think these are our Why.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Couldn't you go to that? Yeah, why couldn't you go
to your section?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
And she said these are your seats And I said,
but I don't think these are our seats because this
sension says, you know, two hundred something and we're in
one hundred something. She's like, no, no, no, these are your seats.
And I said, well, can we just go because they
wouldn't let us down on the first level for some reason.
I don't no idea it could have been. I mean
Trump was there and sitting in a box. But I
don't know why that would Yeah, And so then we
(16:41):
stayed there for like because the view was terrible, you know,
like literally I couldn't see the ball. So we we
spent several hours trying to get in. Couldn't go to
the bathroom in there. There's no way. My wife asked
for a because there was a line the wall. You
can get a water, there was a line that we left.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Oh that sounds like a good idea.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, just get out of there. We gotta beat the traffic.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Imagine you did.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
And then you find a nice little bistro or something.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
You can get a glass of wine that has a
big screen four KTV because those things are like twenty
five dollars now to buy. Yeah, largely because of our
intellectual property.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
By the way, we do control the display market.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
We do. And that's what you do. You enjoy your wine,
you watch the tennis, you can see the ball, you
can see the players. Yeah, that's what you do, and
you just write the whole thing off and you say,
you know what, that was a good life experience.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We successfully met the challenge.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
We got to our seats, our folding.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Chairs, well they weren't our seats.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Some woman pulled out of her ass and put down stadium.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
And you say, so, now that we've done that, we
don't ever have to do that again, and we can
sit in this nice bistro with this nice wine and.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Uh and watch the tennis. But that's about it. The
Patriot I don't even go to the Patriots games anymore
because they're like, it's such a production and there's no
and then you just like you get be a panic
about the traffic, and then you over eat, you overdrink,
and then you just want to go home and go
to bed. And the next day all you do is
think about you're never gonna do that again.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
So and how much money you spent to be miserable?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, but you'd spend double not to do it, that's
the thing.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Oh well, that's precisely. Yeah, as like a ransom to
get yourself out of it, you would definitely spend double,
which brings us back frankly to three hundred, because I
would have gone with Thermopoli. There was a big crowd
there too, mostly Persians, but I would have gone to that.
But the rest of this, it's just I'm again, unless
(18:40):
my child or grandchild or cousin or somebody who's playing.
I'm not going.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I'm going to watch it on my television from my couch.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Well, you know what's interesting is that a lot of
a lot of people went out to see the Battle
of bull Run, a lot of Congress people.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
That's true, they drove. Yeah, the Civil War was a
spectator sport for the first couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
And now not for long though, because once the seuth
won that battle, then they all I tailed it back
to DC and hid. But in any of it, that's neither.
And it's also manassas. The South looked at it as manassas.
It was interesting, you know, the woe of Noeldan aggression,
as they say. But my dear friend who's still trying
to secede from the Union from Palo Alto or San
(19:23):
Clementary wherever he's from. So what I thought would be
interesting is taking a look since we've been doing this
since twenty seventeen, I asked our friend Groc for the
top stories that you and I have dealt with in
since twenty seventeen. Right, and Groc. The first response was, way,
you don't want to talk about Oswald and JFK, because
that's pretty much what we talk about NonStop. And I said, no,
(19:44):
I'd like to talk about this and so in no
particular order. Well, actually know that it is in an order.
It could be, no, I'm not sure. Maybe it does
rate these in disorder. Is the top ten stories since
we started the podcast. Number one, it puts COVID number two,
Trump's first term, three, the BLM protests and the Lloyd
(20:07):
George deal, four Russia Ukraine, five, the Me Too movement, six,
climate change, seven Biden, eight Israel Hamas and then nine
global rise of authoritarianism in particular Brexit, Brazil, India, who knows?
(20:33):
And then number ten it's crockets, and then number ten
is AI the AI boom.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
That's a little self serving on rocks.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
It is, it is. We've really dealt with all these,
but I thought it made It's made sense for like
the last few minutes, because we've spent the majority of
the three hundredth episode graping about traffic patterns after sporting events.
I thought it makes sense to talk through some of
these and where we uh, you know, where we have
spent our time over the past few years and what
(21:07):
we think is the most compelling. Now, if that is
not the direction you want to go, we can talk
about some asteroid related stuff and I'm open either way.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
And I think Kevin, that it's the three hundredth episode,
we should probably do at least a little bit of
a retrospective. I can state relatively definitively that I remember
all of the top ten and you know, us discussing them,
with the exception of number nine, which was the global
(21:42):
rise of authoritarianism, and somehow an example of that is Brexit,
which might be nationalism, but I don't understand that.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
But other than that, I think I could discuss any
of that.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, I have no it's just there. And I'm surprised
that Groc is doing this to us, but you know
it mentions Trump, but I don't, you know, But but Grock,
you know, that's a creation of one, uh, what's his name, Musk,
So you know he's not one he doesn't necessarily get along.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
With Tu's that's Musk's Ai Grock.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Grock correct, Well.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
There, Yeah, they had a little bit of a falling out.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
The colossal arrogance and and you know, just self absorption
of the two of them smacked in to each other.
And that caused a problem.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It's not what you're looking for.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
No, No, I mean that maybe that's the global rise
of authoritarianism. I don't know. I don't, I don't. I
do not feel like authoritarianism is on the rise globally
nears that I can tell. But maybe this I do
remember Joe Biden was a sad face in American history
as we watched a poor guy, you know, the cheese
(23:00):
slide right off his cracker while everyone pretended that I
was fine and no one provided any care for the guy.
I remember that.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
I remember COVID, and we embarrassed ourselves there as well
as the country as we all panicked and locked our doors,
treated other humans as though.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I mean, that was unbelievable, and you know what, you know,
what's amazing.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
I can think of a lot of amazing things.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
But no, we did this show during COVID. You and
I just we marched on, yes and listen, if there's
a if there's a zombie apocalypse type deal, when I
would still do the show and as long as we could.
I mean, you're you're in a much better position, in
a ford more fortified position than I am. I mean,
you've got the high ground up there.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Yeah, but the other thing you got. I am on
the high ground and I like that. But what you
have is you have water at your back, right, So
unless there's an amphibious force of zombies, you can get
your back up against that water and you just have
one front to fight on. I mean, they're gonna be
coming at you from the land. I presume.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
I don't know about zombies. Maybe there's a they don't
swim zombies. Who are you know, skilled in sailing. That
could be a thing. But if there's not, you've only
got one front to fight on. You get your back
up against that shoreline and you go to town.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I don't think they like to get wet. They like cats.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Zombies they don't like the water.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I do cats not like to get wet?
Speaker 4 (24:26):
No, cats hate to get wet. You don't have a cat, No,
I don't have a cat.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
But I you know, you know that I can't give
a cat a bath.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, we have a cat.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Give do you give ganga a bath?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
No? I mean I tried once and I got clawed,
but I stopped.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
See that's precisely my point, and that's why, right, that's
what the cat.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
That's why the cat did it. The cat said, you
know what, it's not that I don't like this guy,
but if he tries to put me in that water,
I'm going to gouge his eyes out, and then that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
But yeah, so anyway, we'll keep doing this during the
We'll keep doing this and any type of zombie apocalypse
as long as we can. And then if one of
us turns into a zombie, then.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
I don't know how the show's got to do it.
The other one's got to do it.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
To keep you on the show. Yeah, the others just
gotta go, well, I gotta.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
I mean, if one of us becomes a zombie, the
other one's got to step up and become a zombie. Yeah,
I mean if one you can't do the show with
one zombie and one not zombie, it would be terrible.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I started watching that movie Sinners. You see that movie.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
I know what you're talking about. I have not seen
the movie, although I heard it got rave reviews and
was very good. I don't like horror movies, so I
I am not inclined to watch it.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Was I you know, I I thought it was. I've
seen it. Yeah, I've seen about forty five minutes of it, it
seemed good. We had to turn it off because the
kids came into the room and it was not not appropriate.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
The same guy plays two roles, right, he plays himself.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
And that's why I'm thinking of this, because right when
I turned it off, one of them was about to
be I'm a vampire, not of his choosing, by the
way it seemed like, and I mean, I could have
gone a different direction, but I'm pretty sure he was
about to become a vampire. So if one of us,
but I mean, I don't think the other one wanted
to become a vampire. So it wasn't like he said,
you know, let me.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's so better than zombie though, buddy,
I mean, if we had to choice, like look at
the stock to us and said, yeah, a little one
came and said, listen, you we want you to continue
to do the podcast, but you either have to do
it as a zombie or a vampire. I'm going vampire
the time.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Oh yeah, absolutely, that's fat. I really don't want to
talk about Black Lives Matter or Russia, but that me too.
Movement that's interesting, and uh, you know that's all this
This it's it's this feminist stuff, and then it's the uh,
but it's also the uh. Yeah. I got an email
(26:53):
from someone who is a major attorney at I want
to say any c America, or maybe it's any c Asia,
I don't know. But they had their pronouns in the
in the box. I haven't seen that a while. People
have been dropping that left and right. But this person,
she she the one of his gender, she she had
(27:15):
that in there. But you know what's interesting about this
is now you've got this whole counterculture there, the Karen
thing where you know, people are getting called Karen's for
being too up on the me too stuff and the
you know, I'm not talking about inappropriate things or violations
the law. Obviously that's disgusting. But one thing that heart,
that that that softened my heart, that made me feel
(27:38):
warm my heart. But I way to put it is
the other day, I wake up, get a cup of coffee,
and then I pull up the the usually start and
read the news on the on the computer and go
to like the New York Times, and I'll read the
Wall Street Journal, and then I pull up Twitter to
get my news feed, and there's this woman who looks
like Elizabeth Warren on the news feed and this is
(27:59):
like seven in the morning, six in the morning, who
like tried to get shit in a Phillies Jersey and
she missed a fly ball and it went to this
other guy and the guy gave it to his kid
and then she went running after him. And then but
let me tell you something. So I started going through
the newsfeed and this woman was on was on ninety
percent of the news feed, and this is just a
(28:21):
general Twitter newsfeed. And it started with look at this
awful person, look at this, Karen, look at this, look
at that, and then it went and then it devolved
to we need to find out her name. She can
never loo because they, you know, are doing the same
thing that a lot of the me too and a
lot of the BLM stuff LGBT that that's that they
tried to do, but they do it better. And so
by the time you're done, you can't even scroll anymore
(28:43):
because you're exhausted, and this woman is in ninety percent
of all everything on Twitter. At that point, they start
super imposing Elizabeth Warren's face on hers. They there's one
video I said, this is what I'm saying is this
was done within less than twelve hours of this thing happening,
because this is like six in the morning. This happened
at like nine o'clock the night before in Miami. And
(29:05):
there was one video that I saw that someone used
AI where she ran over and grabbed the ball and
then she comes back and they morph her face into
Gollum from the Lord of the Rings and she's just
staring at the ball. And I have no idea how
they did it. They used AI, but it's just brilliant stuff.
And uh and you know that's this is probably what
al Gore had in mind when he invented the Internet.
(29:27):
Things like this. And we've been We've been here. It
is great. We've been here for it. We've been here
for it.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
The whole thing, the Internet, COVID, the whole thing, Karen
stealing baseball's we've been here for the whole thing. Yeah,
took us three hundred episodes to get here, but we
did it. We weren't afraid of it.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
No, much like the Martians at Thermopola. We stood our ground.
We hovered. They hovered it more than hovered.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Yeah, I mean they tried to hover her, but the
Spartan's pulled him right down, stabbed him in the you know.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
They got Magic Johnson to Greg Kelsey for stuff. Yeah,
on the back.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Right right, yeah, tom Izzo in the lead teeth, Baird
Ferry helmet on before that, the green and white checkered
sport coat. Mm hmmm over starting in his arm pit. Yeah,
it was great.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Nick Sabden cotched that football team. Do it any of it?
I think, But it's interesting. So there's been a lot
of things we've we've talked about. I think I think
resolved a lot of things we resolved. I think there
are a lot of things we have we have yet
to resolve. That that we'll get to four hundreds on
the horizon two years away, two more, two more. John
(30:39):
Giggan in by every time.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
We reach a new centenary number, right, every time we
reach a new one hundred, you have to go to
the US Open. Yeah, but I see there you go.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
We've we've done this three hundred times. Some would say
we're better at it than when we started. Some would
disagree with that, but it doesn't matter. We've done it.
We've showed up every week three hundred weeks. But in
our time, hunched the clock, got the news out there
discussed all the issues, good, bad, ugly. Watch the country,
(31:12):
you know, begin to descend into madness. Here we're still
at the job. We're still on the job. We'll always
be on the job. We'll be back here for four hundred,
but we'll start we'll start with three oh one, because
that's how you do it. You don't cheat, you don't,
you know, put you know, round up. We'll be here
for three oh one next week. I'd be frequently.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
This has been IP frequently, once again clearing a forest
of lies with the machete of truth.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
You're welcome.
