Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're going to make America healthy again by cleaning out
the sound fridge. It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Speaking of the fridge, I cut some Hiffie hamburgers the
other night. How how long would you let hamburgers sit
in the fridge? So I'd opened the package so it
wasn't still sealed up. They were already pre made patties. Okay,
there was like four them in there. I'd eaten two
of them. I had two left. How long could you
(00:31):
leave them in the fridge and feel safe about it?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
A few days? Two days?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Three max?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It was a week. Holy crap, jack raw meat. But
it was refrigerating the entire time. Yes, covered, of course, Yeah, okay,
it was a.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Little it was fairly gray.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, there happened. You're a man, you're a man of means.
Just getting new meat? Yeah, good, and you're already not
feeling good.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I wasn't worried for me. I was worried for my son.
I thought, jeez, if I make him really, really sick,
this is some bad parenting. And I couldn't tell. With
my cold. That just didn't didn't smell like it seemed
like it ought to smell. As I was grilling it,
I cooked him more than I usually do. Usually I'm
kind of a medium rare burger guy. I went ahead
and cooked it all the way through. So we're okay
as days ago, so we haven't died.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well, there you go, there you go. There's your answer. So,
speaking of food, I'm going to start the cleaning out
sound fridge oddly with an email from oh sorry, metal guy,
thank you. I'm going to change his last name to
Jones just because he doesn't need to be docs or whatever.
But Eric potassium Benzowait Jones from Beautiful Oregon. Right, guys,
(01:43):
it's probably because I'm mentally disturbed, but RFK Junior's announcement
about banning petroleum based synthetic food dies offends me to
no end. He was actually joined by Marty Macari of
the FDA, who's a sane guy like Marty played clip
eighteen for us.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Michael, Well, these diyes have been associated with obesity and diabetes.
They've been associated with attention deficit disorder, hormone disruption, and
as a doctor, I think of it this way. When
we've got an surging epidemic of all of these chronic
conditions and no good explanation as to why don't we
want to air on the side of safety. These are
(02:19):
petroleum based chemicals. Nobody would think it's reasonable to do
a randomized trial where you inject half the kids in
the trial with crude oil to see whether or not
it's good for you.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Oh, I'd be against that. Definitely injecting children with crude
oil my opinion. Marty Mackery has dropped a bit.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well, the problem with that argument is we got all
these problems, so why not ban a whole bunch of
things that might happen to have anything to do with it.
I mean, I don't get that argument.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well, and as Eric points out, the demagogery is shameless.
The whole petroleum based rhetoric is only meant to hornswog
the public. G that can't be good for you. Really,
why would it make you worry about taking aspirin if
you knew it was ultimately petroleum based? Of course not.
Either it's even safe over a long period of use
or it isn't We have an organic food spouting which
doctor Crank with no scientific background, in charge of our
(03:08):
government health bureaucracy, a combination of yule gibbons and wavy
gravy who parenthetically would actually be better choices, but sadly they
are dead. And then Eric handily enough included the blast freemas,
I know, such good writing. I was gonna make that
part of a mail bag with that one from Jess
and Wiley, Texas talking about the papoosas. That was such
(03:31):
good writing about bad neighborhoods.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Should be in the That should be in the like
Wall Street Journal or something. It's that good.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Oh. I know we have a number of correspondents Eric
and Jess and j T and Paolo and all who
are just wavy gravy with both of whom would be
better choices. Yeah. But Yule Gibbons, who's that this will
explain Clips seventeen.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I'm your Gibbons. I've spent years learning about natural foods.
Ever eat a pine tree. Many parts are edible. Natural
ingredients are important to me. That's why I post. Grape
nuts is part of my breakfast. This wholesome cereal is
made from wheat and barley. These naturally ingredients are baked
into crunching nuggets and fortified with vitamins. It's naturally a
(04:17):
sweet taste reminds me of wild hackory nuts. I call
grape nuts my back to nature cereal.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I like grape that's Yule gibbons, naturalist Yule Gibbons of yesterdayear.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
We grew up with that katie that was on our
TV every day.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Have you ever eaten a pine tree?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
That was a regular joke.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
And here you're eating a pine tree. So here's a
cereal made out of barley and wheat. It has to
do with pine trees?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I don't know. I mean the ingredients are grape nuts
are basically you know, they're very, very good. But I
had my break. Yeah, my son had his first bowl
the other day because I love grape nuts, and.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
He said, how do you eat these? It's like a
little bull of rocks?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
And it is like a little bull rock.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah. In one of those jarring transitions that have endeared
us to dozens. This is the documentary. The trailer rather
from an upcoming HBO documentary about Paul Rubins aka Pee
wee Herman.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Guess what, I'm having a party and you're invited. I
wanted to be a performance artist. Out of nowhere, pee
wee Herman popped out of me. The audience ate it
up and went crazy. There wasn't like a moment in
the eighties that wasn't super cool to be meet.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
And then dark music thump bump, bump bom.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
I lost control of my anonymity that it was devastating.
I don't want to come off like a victim in
some way. I kept who I was a secret for
a really long time. I hid behind an alter ego.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Today's secret would is Yes, it is just so final.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
To be able to get your message in at the
last minute is incredible to me.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I read about that really pretty interesting story. He was
a kind of a avant garde sort of artist, sketch person,
sketch comedy person, and he created this character be with Herman,
which really took off if you lived through it. You know,
he had major motion pictures and all that sort of stuff.
But and then he got caught in a theater work
(06:30):
in as Man, So that put a damp around his
career for a while and changed people's image.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I don't know if if today that would be that
big a deal. Although it was a kid's program, so
that hurt right here.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah sure, I mean if he was like a professional
bull rider or something, I don't know, but yeah, he
did a kids show I'm not sure that's.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Really good brand for a professional bull rider either caught
it and was he not a.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Good brand for anybody. It was a porn theater, which
is you know, it's not like he was seeing you know,
I don't know, Star Wars, and he engaged in self
pleasure met right, you're watching all the larger movie doing
it right, exactly? Old yeller? Yeah, oh oh my, too
(07:15):
good to even contemplate. That's funny. That's the key to
the whole thing. You're caught in a theater.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Uh, you know, doing your thing, and uh, if it's
a porno movie, it's bad, but it's come your your
life's over. If it's just a regular theater, you're better
off in at CD theater.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Well right, yeah, I mean you can explain that. Okay
again a jarring transition. These are a couple of twins
clip number ten, Michael who speaking tandem.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
Apparently he went up there and he was coming back
down towards this and he goes run, he's got a gun.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Oh shut up? What was that?
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Those were two twins acting like they say everything at
the same time, and you could clearly hear one of
them trying to catch up.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
No, stop, and then they forgot they remember the script,
and then that was stupid. Michael, is there more to choose?
Who's to blame for this? Somebody did? Wasn't me?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
What's the number one creed for the Armstrong and Getty show.
Who's to blame?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Right?
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
So solving the problem must wait until we assigned.
Speaker 7 (08:30):
Michael, don't you dump that on me?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Getting back to this twins.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
So the story was that their mom got carjacked and
they were on TV and they were interviewed and they
were speaking like this, and apparently some doctors have said,
in rare cases, they're Australian twins, this happens where twins
can finish each other's sentences like this.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Their mom got carjacked and when they were interviewed, they
talked to.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
They bost spoke yeah in tandem.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
For not being the guy who brought the clip, you
sure know a lot about it, Michael.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
No, I just saw the story. I didn't bring this
particular Yeah right, sure, okay, sure, Australian twins, Okay, God,
neither one of them said, Craig, this is just oh no,
I'm sorry. We did that already. We did that joke
already I apologize. I retracted my beginning of an introduction.
(09:24):
Uh is there anything else? We ought to play? Michael
ms skin in the list? And I don't know, it's
all a lot of it's so heavy.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Well, you guys said a couple of days on the burger,
and I pushed it out too week, so I wasn't
even close.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Really, No, you know, three days I'm reasonably comfortable with.
I'd take a look at, take a sniff, he said
in the fridge. What I'm saying, comfortable if I did
twice that?
Speaker 7 (09:49):
Oh no, wha listen to that? Sorry about that. My
phone my phone ring tone is trump yelling.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Oh is it? You should have put it up of
the microphone that covered it up.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I need to have fun ring tone, So I just
mind just rings like a phone.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
I've got.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I know somebody who's got a goat screaming as a
ring tone, and every time their phone rings it about me.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
That's a terrible idea. God, you couldn't give somebody a
heart attack. I didn't even know you can still download
ring tones.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
I thought, Yeah, I've had this one for a minute. Here,
hang on here, it is your phone.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Is rigging, and it's rigging it's spectacular fish and I
just have to say, the greatest ring the world has
ever seen. And on the other end of the phone,
who's there. You look at the caller id. We call
it coller Id and they say Ida is racist. Coller Id.
It could be a credit card scam, or it could
be a car warranty, or it could be on the
(10:55):
other end of the phone the greatest president the world
has ever seated.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Now, I see why you hit the red X. It
was on for a minute, doesn't it does. That's good.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
That's a good ending.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Well, I guess that's it.
We're going to make America healthy again by cleaning out
