Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, the Lloyd Austin.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
That's my favorite current story, A current, you know, not
world altering story, is the Secretary of Defense.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Going in for elective surgery.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
There's where I want to speculate elective surgery.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
What does that mean? That means you chose to get it.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
It's not something you had to get sometimes of vanity surgery.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Sometimes, yes, that is correct. Sometimes yes.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
So he could have been going in for he's a
very big guy. He could have been going in for
lippo or a gastic bypass or something like that. Was
embarrassed about a big, old fat guy getting the slim
down or a chin tuck or something like that, a
little work down south? What happened penile extensions? Wow, okay,

(00:47):
we're gonna be frank in twenty twenty four. Apparently, let's
go for it. So it was something that he was
embarrassed about. That's the only explanation I can come up with.
The y You would keep it a secret that you
were going in to get a surgery, and you wouldn't
tell anybody, the defying all protocol. Yes, yeah, well that's
one possible narrative. Give me another one. Well, as we

(01:12):
learned during COVID. An elective surgery is anything that's not
an emergency surgery, So it could have been some sort
of dealing with a blood clot or a Why would
you medical a joint replacement? Why would you keep that
a secret? I can't imagine. That's the weird part. I mean,
the really really weird part is that the president didn't

(01:32):
know his second in command at the Pentagon, who turns
out to be a girl, didn't know.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Nobody knew no.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Fact, the fact that his second in command was floating
in the water. So it is reported in some ideal
location for vacation, Puerto Rico or something like that, she's
floating in the water when she finds out, you know,
you're actually the acting secretary of Defense while America is
basically involved in two wars.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Ah, that's to me.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
She paddles to the shore and takes off her little
water wings and what's down a drink, tries to sober up,
and takes charge. I suppose meanwhile, the senol old president
had no idea, he had no sec death well, not
his fault. The guy doesn't tell him. I am shocked.
I don't know how white houses work. Wouldn't you have
expected if you've been following the news. The last couple

(02:22):
of weeks, we took out a guy in a bag
dad a rack, a drone strike, We've fired back at Iran.
We've been attacked a whole bunch more times. It's not
like one hundred and twenty times we've been attacked. I
would have guessed that the President was in contact with
the Secretary of Defense every day at least once, not

(02:44):
that you would go four days from Monday to Thursday
not having talked to him. But that's not unusual. Yeah,
I don't know what the mechanics are. I find it
believable that there's a White House liaison so that the
big guys themselves don't have to be on the horn.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
God, I'm just surprised.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
When we've got were this close to war in so
many different spots, there's not a little gather around the
zoom call with the second death and the President every afternoon.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Or every other day. I don't know, shocking to be.
I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
I don't know if that's unusual or not, but man,
it seems weird to me. Of all the things on
my plate as president of the United States, I get
up in the morning, I'd think, let's.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Chick in on that whole Are we at war with
a ran?

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Thing with someone might have been a penile reduction as well,
that's true. Yeah, I took the worst possible view of
it could have been. Look, I don't know that there's
a value judgment involved at all. Look, it's not easy
being me, as Bernie Mack would say, I'm blessed, and

(03:50):
it's not easy to buy pants.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Wow.
