Thank you for visiting Christopher Media dotin that. Thank you for visiting Christopher
Media dot in that too. Welcometo Jen Exhausted. I'm Chris, I'm
rich. I'm gonna bust your ballsright off the fucking rip. How do
you have that bad at timing?You're a musician. You wait, that's
when you come in, when thewhole band kicks in, you just listen

(00:21):
to it. How is your timingthat bad as a musician? I was
trying to post to the band comingin, Okay, I obviously it's a
good thing we're never in the sameband together because we came in a completely
different times and though we were onlike, Hey, why the fuck,
why did you? I don't know, why did you? I was using
the band not being in, likeas the ramp to the band kicking in.

(00:42):
I was trying, I go,well, I gotcha. Hey,
we're not all as good as Jessis hitting the post. I don't know
if you notice Jess hits the postlike a champ at the end of every
show. No, I don't listento the shows. I'm sorry, dude,
it ain't ten years ago anymore.Or no, it's not fair.
I do quality spot checks, butI don't really listen to shows every time.
I'm every fucking week anymore. It'sthe production joke. So it's a

(01:03):
joke. I get. I knowyou because you set the post for it.
Yes, I knew where you weregoing with that. No broadcast training
at all. It still doesn't seeif what if we have to explain the
joke and the joke's not that funny. So that's the we are off starting
off with a thud. Anyway.No, just this week, she had
some kind of surgery. Sorry,he's not drugs. I know from the

(01:27):
chat she's on drugs right now.Sorry, family, she had oral surgery.
Take that issue how you want.I hope that's not a euphemism.
I don't think it is. Shereally had oral surgery. I think it's
literally she had surgery in her mouth. So and I feel sorry for it
because that's one of those things thatlike, she's family and I love her,
but she was talking about it,and everything that could clench on me

(01:48):
was clenched, like my I didn't. I don't know if my asshole has
inner lips, but it feels likethey did. It does, and they
were clenching too, like I don'tlike I can't stand about dental stuff.
Just not me the fuck out andlet me wake up and let it be
done. Oh see that I can, like you can rape me while I'm
asleep. I just don't want tobe awake during any dental shit. I
don't care, like I can getthrough it and no, I trust me,

(02:10):
I'm with you or actually no,I've said you can do a local
on me. It don't bother me, like I can. I see that
needle, I get violent, bro, I told it. I told one
dentis, I'll knock you to fuckout if you try to put that in
my face. And he goes,well, turn this gas up a little
bit. Oh ca' be back anotherten minutes. But the feeling that you're
describing is like, that's why I'venever seen like jackass too, like like

(02:31):
anything that involves like the nuts orthe cock and to trauma, like I
can't even talk about it, likea second hand paint, like I'm getting
like goosebumps right now. Yes,so you probably get that from dental stuff,
yes, Like yeah, it's likeit's it's it is very strange because
I can sit and watch horrendous stuff. I'm not even gonna fucking I'm not

(02:53):
even gonna give you my fucking bonafides if you, if you, if
you're listening to this podcast, youknow my bona fides. You've heard me,
and I'm just like, it doesn'tbother me. I'm dead inside dental
shit, get the fuck away fromme. So if you are my potential
kidnapper and you're listening, now,you know my fucking nightmare. So just

(03:14):
understand you will have to either killme or completely sedu me and wake me
up and then deal with me.Tepping that out right now, I'm just
saying, if we have dedicated listeners, probably one or two of them are
probably suspect or like our suspect,to kidnap somebody. It's possible, and
it's not done. Done's too nice. I mean, we appreciate the download.

(03:36):
Thank you. Oh no, no, keep listening, psychos. We'd
appreciate that. We appreciate all thepsychos that come to bring their milkshake and
their madness to it to our yard. All right, So here we are.
It is Christmas week. This showis more than likely going to be
our last calendar year show of theyear by the time it's posted. Uh

(03:58):
yeah, the uh Colorado Supreme Courthanded Trump a Christmas gift. They've ruled
he's not allowed to be on theprimary battle. It's fun, which I
don't what is the point of thatpolitical grandstanding because anything I'm reading about it
is people on both sides of theaisle is like the the Federal Supreme Court

(04:19):
is just gonna go fucking like they'regonna get like to Kenba Mtumbo, just
whom Charles Barkley throw in your favoriteNBA defender. Well, okay, what
this is telling me is that politiciansare seeing a possible gallo at the end
of their fucking at the end ofthis for themselves because in politics, once

(04:43):
you to use the parlance of ourtimes, once you normalize a tactic in
political warfare, it's going to beused across the board against everybody. Uh
yeah, exhibit a impeachment. Yes, right, So trying you get a
former or sitting president brought up oncharges or charged with something is going to

(05:04):
become the norm. And if thatis happening to the president, then the
ship rolls downhill effect is in fulleffect. So you have that, and
these politicians are going, oh shit, if we could be basically booted off
of a fucking primary ticket simply becausesome bullshit charges are brought up to try

(05:25):
to fucking, you know, dragme through the mud that that could affect
our livelihood. That's why you're seeingbipartisan support of no, No, this
can't be this way, because it'saffecting how much they get to eat from
the trought and the ship rolls downhill, So it's even going to affect the
congressman of No. One gives afuck district out in the middle of bfe

(05:46):
Yeah, well, toy the otherthe bipartisan cry has been at least what
I've read here what it's nine thirtyon December twentieth. What I've read so
far, this is obviously developing.We've we've had shows where Sue's we fuck
and end of the recording, andthe fucking story has been ship usually more
of the sports podcasts that we abandonedbut yeah, or ended, I should
say not abandoned yeah, but islike whoa you have? Like this hasn't

(06:12):
been decided yet. You need tolet due process do its thing. Even
Biden is like, hey, man, I believe he incited an insurrection,
but you gotta let the courts decide. Slate dot Com has come out and
said the Colorado Supreme Court at farright hotbed yeah, has said, like
the Federal Supreme Court has got toknock this down, the far right hotbed

(06:35):
that is like online presence on aSlate dot com yea yeah. So and
here we go because it's it's threeDemocratic appointed judges doing this, and I'm
the one that's gonna open this cansof worms? Have I ever been on
this in the last two years?Have I ever been on here carrying water
for January sixth or the last electionsaying it was stolen or whatever? And

(06:59):
by no, I'd say the personwho's not here tonight may have been more
in that camp fair. But I'mseeing between seeing this and then with how
things were handled with the Hunter Bidenlaptop in November twenty twenty, maybe it's
time we perhaps look into the quoteunquote safest election we've ever had. Who

(07:20):
watches the watchman? Who are wegoing to? Who's the government? Going
to a point to look into thegovernment, because because if your argument has
been like Trump's insane, the lastelection was not compromised. I think three
Democratic judges coming out trying to takehim off a ballot kind of what's I

(07:41):
was a buzzphrase a few years ago. It's not a good look. Well,
this also goes back to what you'vebeen hearing for a decade, give
or take a couple of years ofadvocate judges writing law and making policy from
the bench based on nothing more thansome social justice course they took in college
or they believe in, or whateverwhatever ideology tells that they buy into tells

(08:05):
them they should fuck you're judge.You're supposed to be impartial. This is
this is why the personal is political. That is the battle cry of fucking
communists and Marxism and socialism. Thisis this is the end result of this.
It poisons the well to where thereis no there is no buy ooh

(08:26):
bipartisanship here with that poison word,because did you see other things which,
by the way, you can tellwhere we're weeks days away from the election.
You're beginning. In the last twoweeks, Trump has been compared to
a dictator, He's been compared toHitler because he said, you see,
he said that the immigrants are poisoningthe blood of our country. So people
immediately went, oh, it's fromuncomf Oh. It's like like he's sitting

(08:48):
there with a checklist like how tobe a hitler. Okay, hold on
incoming rant hit pausing where you're at? Remember that Trump hitler? Jesus Christ,
can we stop acting like a millennialbitch on a dating site like everything's
a red flag? Oh my god, you drink water? Oh my god,
I dated a guy who was sotoxic and he drunk water. That's

(09:09):
such a red flag. Like thatis what the fuck we are? He
used words? You know what elseis in mind comp words? That's because
there was something else that he said. We were like, oh, that's
uh, he's back in poop.He's saying he's parroting what Putin said,
and I'm and then another thing thatthere was some article and it's and I
came to the same conclusion, likeif we're gonna go like he use the

(09:31):
words and in the nose are inmind comp too? Are we gonna start
doing that? Like it's like soyeahy not these people. This is dude.
This is why I hate I hatewinning any cost type people almost as
much as I hate people who arecontrarians for the sake of just being a
contrarian. If you're a contrarian,you're trying to prove a point, you're

(09:54):
an asshole. But at least youhave an asshole with a point. You're
an asshole. The point if you'rea contrarian, just to stir the pot,
your money and the waters, andhere come the assholes to fucking take
advantage of it. People are gonnacome in and pull this shit. This
is oh, this is why.Where does ideologic? Where does ideology and
policymaking? Where does it end up? Every single time? Ends up with
blood on a lot of people's fuckinghands. That's how this shit ends.

(10:18):
The person who's who's worried about thesetype of topics on the podcast and on
the podcast tonight. So we're gonnatalk about it, and we're gonna talk
about it read like for real.That's where this shit ends. What people?
No one can We talked I thinkwe talked about this last week.
No one cares about any either ofthese fucking these candidates. And let's be

(10:39):
honest, it's Trump and Biden,right. If the Republican Party puts anyone
but Trump on that ticket, isn'tthat just them conceding the election? Like
see you in twenty twenty eight,because they're just handing it to Biden,
and I mean all that entails,they're handing it to a guy whose own
party doesn't even fully back. Doyou think Biden is going to if you

(11:00):
think he's competent now, first ofall, past what you're smoking or injecting
or snorting or however you're boofing,however you're fucking ingesting this. Do you
think that man's gonna remain a aliveand be competent until January twenty first,
twenty twenty nine. If that wasmy grandfather, I wouldn't take that bet,

(11:20):
no matter how good the odds.I'd bet that motherfucker's gonna be dead
or in a mental hospital shitting himselfinto an adult watching a human male slip
into sinility. Let's that's telling someonethe other day like, I don't think
I think it's low hanging fruit todunk on Biden because you were making fun
of an old man for slipping intodementia. This is what I was trying

(11:41):
to get across on the podcast afew weeks, maybe a month or two
ago, and Jess was like,I don't get I'm like, if you
because if you think Biden is incompetentdue to dementia, Why do you hate
the man because the man ain't makingany decisions. And if you doubt that,
go read your history books up onfucking Rake in second term and how
that was handled, and that manwas his brain was Swiss cheese due to

(12:05):
dementia. At that point, theyhad literally Nancy Reagan was consulting psychics on
what they should do in this country. That's how fucking out of handshit got.
So do you think if that's whathappened in the eighties, that there
is not some more refined version withpuppet masters pulling the strings telling people this
is what Biden is going to say, and this is his marching orders.

(12:28):
He had a puppet regime in thetwo thousands with a competent Yeah, well
competent as well. He would passmental competency tests. Yeah, yeah,
he was sober. Yeah, ifa shrink evaluated me, like, this
guy's fine. He's a little dumb, but yeah, he's a little jockey.

(12:50):
Maybe he's got a little substance abusegoing on. But as far as
right, he knows what day itis, and he knows that his father
was president, and he knows thereisn't president anymore. That's more important.
I'm saying, if Biden wasn't thepresident of the United States, we wouldn't
hit him the remote control. Yeah, we were taking his keys a decade
ago. Well yeah, if hewasn't being driven around everywhere, there'd probably

(13:11):
already be a conversation like we wegot to take your keys, Joe,
And it already happened. Yeah,it already happened, and my family had
already happened. That's just all thereis to it. And that's not for
a for a man in my familyto hand over his driver's license, that's
a big thing. So I mean, like, that's not done lightly.
And when we had to do itto my grandfather, it was flat out

(13:33):
like we were ready for violence,because this is a man that was in
World War Two when he was sixteen, killing people and laughed about it.
My grandfather went quietly, thankfully,like because he went to the corner store
to get cigars for six hours.Yeah, and when that was brought it
in, when it was presented tohim like that, he went all right,
like yeah, it's like okay,fair enough. Yeah, So I'm

(13:56):
sorry, Trump Hitler Sorry. Endof rent and digression. But that's all
this fucking show is digression after digression. Let's go. But no, Yeah,
it's already weeks before the prime dictatorHitler, you know, checking all
the check marks and check boxes.Think I'm we're gonna do this again.

(14:16):
Yeah, this is, this isthis is the baseline of political discourse in
this country for the foreseeable future.I don't see it change him before we
die. And I did have athought today, So say it does become
a dictator, what does that looklike? First of all, capitalism don't
go anywhere, because that's what madethat man think he's gonna get rid of
a fucking You do understand that thereare a lot of people who are,

(14:39):
like anybody who's a capitalist, theyneed to die. Oh there's enough.
There's enough to where I'm surprised thereisn't an organized communist party that is like
that has a wing that is problematicwith the Federal boys, with the Alphabet
boys, any one of those people. I say, I'm trying to do
this right now, I gotta speakticket two weeks ago. All I'm trying

(15:01):
to do is schedule my fucking courtdate, right I call. Last week,
I got it on like a Thursday. I called the Tuesday that followed.
The answer I get is we areway behind at putting the tickets into
the system. We know it saysten days on the ticket, but it's
ten days from when it gets intothe system. So call back next week,
maybe it'll be in the system.I call back today, I get

(15:24):
traffic, Please hold nothing for fifteenminutes, and then I go, motherfuckers,
do you think people just got timeto just sit here? I hang
up, and then I call backagain, like ten minutes later, and
it just rings and goes right toa voicemail. And I'm saying that,
like, all right, communists,try to anyone who who wants to champion
communism, imagine interfacing with your localgovernment or the DMV. That's everything I

(15:48):
don't understand. That's food, that'sbuying a house, that's every Thursday.
You're not buying food, You're notbuying a house. You're being assigned.
You're living sit situation, and you'rebeing giving your fucking rations, which you
will be responsible for making last theproper amount of time. Oh and by
the way, if there's government fuckup on their end and you don't get

(16:11):
the reup, that you're supposed toget when you get it, Hey,
did you make your food last?Yeah? Should have made it last longer.
The governments and competence becomes your problem. It becomes your everyday life with
everything you do. So apart fromthe we're going to fucking kill billionaires and
we're going to fucking skin people whoare capitalists up and we're gonna skin them

(16:33):
alive and hang them from the fuckingfence outside the White House and all this
other bullshit that you hear, justthat level of incompetence, and that's your
end game should be enough of deterrentto be like, Okay, maybe we
take some ideas from communism, somefrom socialism, some from capitalism, some
from whatever the fuck, and weput them into a fucking crock pot and

(16:53):
we see what we come up with, and we make adjustments to the recipe
as needed. I don't know,like logical reasonable people would because we already
have a hybrid system. I hateto break it to you. If you're
a taxationist, deaf person, doyou know this. We're already a fucking
half assed socialist country. That's whatpolice department, fire department, infrastructure,

(17:15):
school system, school system is it'sfucking socialism. It's just americanized and sold
to you properly. Q us fuckingbringing up our what at this point once
a month we bring up Todd andthen in his fucking series on uh propaganda
and yeah, Brene Edward Burnet's blahblah blah twenty nineteen I think was twenty

(17:37):
eighteen, but yeah, edit,teach you bropaganda. We're coming up on
five years since he did that fuckingspecial, And I would say that it
is fucking essential listening for anyone wholistens to this podcast, and the episodes
without us are the essential listening.The episodes with us are just blowing.
Like I looking back, I'm like, it was nice and I had fun,
but I don't know that we reallybrought anything much to the table because

(18:00):
Todd had pretty much efficiently and thoroughlycovered everything on his own, which I
heard from him later. Nice.Yeah, but I forgot before that tangent
woman. But yes, you've beenpackaged this. This isn't socialism. This
is American. It's American to sendyour kids to a fucking government school.
No the fuck it is not.That is a fucking what post World War

(18:23):
one standard schoolhouses? Used to communityschoolhouses, not government run school I have
been in both school systems. That'sall I gotta say. It is two
different worlds. Here's here's my problem. Okay, the argument to support the
public school system has always been itbrought the baseline amount of education up,

(18:45):
it brought the literacy rate up.Okay, well, the literacy rate is
now dropping. You have high schoolgraduates, a shocking number reading at a
third grade level, and they're graduating. Oh. I read some of the
other day about American UH test scorerswith math. Holy shit. So we're
getting diminishing returns from the public schoolsystem. So why are we still propping

(19:07):
it up? Oh? Because,once bureaucratic motherfuckers get in there and install
themselves in there, their only job, their first and most important job,
is to justify their own existence tothe system that gives them their existence.
So that's who they're beholden to.They are not beholden to those school children.

(19:27):
And right now you have the inmatesrunning the asylum because you have apparently
school systems hiring anybody no regardless,Like we're not gonna vet them because we've
heard the horror stories. You've seenthe tiktoks. If you listen to this
podcast, I'm sure you're aware ofthis stuff of public school teachers talking about
Yeah, I teach second and thirdgrade children, and I bring my dildos

(19:49):
in and show them how they use, and I can explain anal sex to
them. I'm sorry, what,why are you talking about that with anyone
who's Yeah, not in middle schoolor older. Was what we all agreed
upon for decades. Now, Yeah, I don't care gay or straight.
Why are you talking to kids undermiddle school age about sex? Exactly?
It's gonna it's gonna be. It'sgonna be with them for the rest of

(20:11):
their fucking life. Here, here'swhat happened, kids, Well, this
is this is how you get Taicheet in the fucking an argument that you're
not even fucking having. They wantto have this argument with you. Well,
it's about acceptance and inclusion. Butit's not about gay or straight or
trans or non buying there, it'sabout their fucking age. Well you're no,

(20:33):
we're teaching them about inclusion. Noyou're not. You're teaching them how
to use sex toys and they're noteven in double digits. That's the problem.
Stop trying to act like it's aproblem with something else. It's not.
That's what you want to make itabout. It's not about that.
It's never been about that. Formost people, it's about these are fucking

(20:53):
children. Why are you telling themto spit out a fucking dildo and and
blame to them? How to littlebit properly to shove it to another human
beings ass. When I was sixand Titties came on TV, my dad
and mom were like, there yougo, son, drink it in.
No, it was well, firstof all, they tried to make sure
they watched it after I went tobed, but it was cover your eyes

(21:15):
or going the other room. Yeahyeah, I mean, and is that's
prudish? And what do you call, you know, puritari pure puritanical?
I get that, you know,religion? Yeah, no, no,
I get it. But I meanI have friends who it's like, well,
the you know, a naked bodyis natural, But they won't let
their kids listen to anything that hascussing in it or any type of like

(21:36):
even like like sports because it's violence. And I'm like, oh my god,
and what do we get? Weget other kid talking about I'm part
dragon kin and it's not sexual,even though I have a dildo lays dragon
eggs up my ass and then Ishit them out and it feels like I'm
giving birth what and all. That'svery real, by the way, I

(21:57):
know it's very real. You canlook it up on your own. I'm
not helping you have internet access.I'm not helping it. I know about
you any listeners, So I'm surewe have. Also, we probably skew
more towards to the like kidnapper,serial killer, fucking like. But also
I think we probably skew boomerash ingen X for sure, especially with this
show title. So yeah, I'mnot steering you at then decides the corners

(22:21):
of the Internet that you can findthat you can find it well. Because
we're getting older and the audience hasstayed the same, we do have a
surprising amount of millennials listen self hating. No, we're still we're still picking
up heavy and twenty five to fiftyfour. So no, I'm just saying
self hating millennials because I mean,if you listen to this, it ain't
like like, yeah, it's notlike we're like you're the Greatest Generation Part

(22:41):
two or version two point oh no, it's your boomer's two point oh,
and you hate the boomers, soyou probably hate yourself. No, it's
like it's like the black people thatlisten to us, so it's only the
good ones listen to us. It'sthe same thing with millennials ninety eight percent
black listening audience. You know what'sfunny is all of the stuff that we
hear about race and all of thepodcast statistics I get. I get nothing

(23:03):
about race, and they're funny.I get age, I get gender,
I get city, I get state, I get country. I don't get
fun I get the fucking Spotify youget. Here's what kind of music they
listen to? I don't get it. What fucking race they are? What
kind? How big? Is likestoner or like what genres stick out?

(23:23):
And that When you were like,what what what music are listeners on Spotify
listen to? It's a lot ofit's a lot of mainstream. Really yeah,
it's mainstream top forty stuff. Ikind of feel like then we must
be background noise for a lot ofpeople, which is, hey, hey,
thank you for listening. I meanit's not like he believe me,

(23:45):
none of us are retiring off ofthis, but but but we do enjoy
and if people listen, we're happyto way informed that there was a small
contingent of flight attendants that were listeningto us. Well, yeah, maybe
that's you know. I'm just likereally like, we can't we can't get
any like, like nobody who's inthe like I don't know no spot like
I said, like funeral Doom orsomething like that. Ten years into this,

(24:06):
my bitches, with pick a statservice, you're gonna get different.
Like yeah, according if I believewhat Spotify told us, we should be
talking about a lot of female centricshit. But then there's uh like Spreaker,
it's dudes. That makes sense thoughSpotify is most chicks, I know,

(24:27):
chicks such a male and if youget where that line's from, that's
why you're listening to this podcast.But uh, most of the chicks I
know you Spotify, most guys,I know you some other streaming service that
is straight up so that you knowwhat now it makes sense mainstream music,
I mean, just chicks, ladies, you have a bet you have you

(24:48):
know, we know we could provethat with statistics from radio listening for decades,
but you can't say it without themtrying to say that's that's hateful.
You just hate women. No,I'm just quoting you factuals to tistics.
I'm trying to pass along factual information. It's simply what I'm doing. I
used to say it, and Imanaged restaurants in black neighborhoods. It's not
racist if I could prove it withsales figures. When is When is racism

(25:11):
not racism? I used I usedto say this after specs and people go,
it's always racism. I'm like,no, when it's marketing demographics or
democratic marketing demographics, same same,same you you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, but I could show yousales figures in the Pontiac of Southfield stores
and be like, see, blackpeople like chicken and bacon and fruit flavored

(25:32):
drinks. Oh, everybody loves baconexcept for Jews and the weird Middle Eastern
people. And for some reason,you know, there's being beef on a
pizza. The brothers like beef.Yeah, that is weird. Like right,
But here's the thing about the storesthat I had that had black clientele.
I was ordering beef once a week, if if if white, if
any if any other, if itwas whitey or anybody else once a month.

(25:56):
Well, when when I worked atnine and Telegraph, we had uh,
the everything pizza and it's called thegarbage can, and it was like,
okay, Now, any other hoodI've been to, when people order
the garbage can, they usually takeitems off nine in Telegraph for a non
informed about the Detroit metro area members, that is, okay, we haven't

(26:18):
explained this in a while. Ifwe have any new listeners, we should
probably explain this. Detroit's road systemafter at certain points it goes five mile,
then a mile north of that issix mile, and mile north of
that is seven mile, and soon and so supposed to be how far
you are away from Campus Marshes.See see, because when you go out
to the western suburbs, it's howmany miles you are from the baseline where

(26:41):
the where the addresses go to zeroand then restart. Well, no,
it's it's all based on Erry Hills. How far away you are from the
big circle in Campus Marshes. Gotyou okay, Yeah, I just I
just know that they it's measured differentlyon the western suburbs. They don't even
talk about Campus Marshes. This firsttime I'm hearing it, but it makes
sense now that I hear it,So now you understand. And Telegraph is

(27:03):
the western border of Detroit to thewestern suburbs and eight miles the northern border.
So I was at nine mile inTelegraph and we covered a chunk of
Detroit. So we had black,mostly black clientele. And yeah, I
know, shy racist. A whiteperson said the word black and he wasn't

(27:25):
talking about a color of his shirt. But anyways, and that's pretty much
how it is these days. Weall know it to be true, but
search your feelings. But anyways,Uh, the garbage can never had anything
taken off. In fact, thegarbage can we used to call it the
south Field special. It was thegarbage can add pineapple, and I was
like man, brothers and the sisterslove pineapple in the northwest side of Detroit,

(27:47):
and they love every toping on theirpizza. If there could be more,
we would have people come in.And you have to understand, when
you got a deep dish garbage can, deep dish pizza is already an inch
thick. If it's a good deepdish, you could eat usually pile on
a garbage can. I remember makingand eating that pizza and going, this
is too much. I'm just saying, good on this pizza. You could

(28:07):
have another inch of Topping's easy,especially if you add extra cheese and pineapple,
because pineapple is a topping nip.Remember will add fucking remember garbage can
out of the oven with extra cheeseon it. You needed like two hands.
You had put like your shoulder inyep, which is like ten pounds.
And I mean like that's so anytime. And literally our clientele most of

(28:32):
the time a cop and go Iwant a large, deep dish garbage can,
and we would go. We literallytrain new people ask him do you
want a garbage can with or withoutpineapple? Because easily seventy like sixty seventy
percent of the time we hear youmean it comes without it comes without pineapple.
I thought it came with pineapple.It's like, no, that's extra.

(28:53):
You've been paying extra for all yourlife, however long you've been ordering
pizza from this place, Like,yes, that's that's extra. Oh I
thought it just came with it.So that's Southfield special. You got to
ask them garbage can with or withoutpineapple? Like I said, I thought
it came with it. Nope,So there you go there's but somehow that's

(29:14):
racist. Now here's the deal.If I'm training someone, like a new
general manager at that store, I'mexplaining that to that general manager, and
there is no racial fucking animosity.It's just I'm trying to pass you factual
information about your clientele that you're gonnaneed to know to save yourself a lot
of remakes. Because also that thatplace did not accept fixing pizza. Throw

(29:36):
that motherfucker away, and I wantto see you make me a fresh one.
That's how it was there. Yougot twelve in Southfield, we're alsoposed
keep chicken wings up for four toeight. I started keeping them up for
lunch people. Why trust me?Because they got tired of every other customer
meet chicken wings. It has tobe ten to fifteen minutes. Oh no,

(29:56):
just watching money walk out of thedoor. Yep, like they're good
for three out. What am Igonna do? Like, I'll put up
one it don't sell Ooh, thenI won't do no. Guess what I
know exactly what? Guess who doubledhis chicken wing sales. It's not racist
if you could prove it with sales. It's just people like things. Why
is it wrong to give your customerbase? Right? Rochester, I sold

(30:19):
a shit ton of diet coke andcheese pizzas the white bitches because that's what
they eat for fucking lunch. Andwhen I lived in New York, it
was funny because the part of NewYork I lived in was like pretty remote.
And by the way, sorry,people who don't live in Detroit,
we're talking about Detroit for a minute. Well now I'm talking about New York,
upstate New York where I lived inthe Herkimer Valley, it was like
there was it was mostly like Iguess you'd call it waspy, and it's

(30:41):
I guess you call it waspy,and so you know everything that goes along
with that, that's just rural whitepeople. That's what I'm saying. Yeah,
like like it's like white, likenot Catholic, so wasp white Anglo
Saxon Protestants. So, but therewas like a little enclave of Jewish people

(31:02):
or a Jewish community. It mighteven been called a Jewish community. I
don't know, that was near whereI was. And was it racist that
the pizza place that served them didn'tthey had pizzas more pizzas that didn't mix
cheese and meat than any other pizzaplace I've ever worked, because they were
like, our clientele is Jewish andthey go by they don't eat meat and

(31:25):
cheese. They don't mix those two. It's very simple. It's against their
religion. Just like when I workedin Dearborn, which is outside of the
Middle East, the highest concentration ofpeople from the Middle East in the world,
we had pepperoni. Pepperoni made withall beef. Why because most of
our clientele wouldn't eat pork, butthey would eat beef. I don't know

(31:49):
why, because I'm not that religion, but whatever the funck. We never
had complaints. In fact, itwas initially when the owner that I worked
for took over the one in Dearborn, the complaints I got was why don't
you have home all fucking put pepperoni? And he's like, I don't know
what the fuck that is. He'slike, I Wasra's Catholic. The only
thing about meat I know is Ican't eat it on Friday, and that's
only for forty days during Lent.It's fish fry Friday in like the seventies.

(32:13):
All right, Yeah, well,this was an older dude, I
got like fifteen years because my parentswere little. It was hardcore. It
was like every Friday, Oh yeah, are you going to Hell? Yeah,
there's bars I know that are thatare like Irish bars that it's fish
fry Friday every Friday. I'm likewhy they're like because it was serious Catholic
shit. I'm like, so,oh, you couldn't eat meat, you

(32:35):
couldn't eat beef on Friday, butyou can come in drink beer and eat
fish and get into fights and pissingand puke aver the place, fuck someone
else's wife. That's fine, That'sfine. God's cool with all that.
I think John Paul two or theone before him, was like, eh,
just for Lynt, I want toI want to eat a cheeseburger.
Just say you believe in this shitas dumb as crystals healing you if you

(32:55):
sleep on them. Okay, justadmit that. Ship. They didn't like
it. When I started making parallelsto God and Santa Claus, they did
not like that. I was like, wait, you know God and Santa
Claus have a lot of the samecharacteristics. Yeah, yep, yes,
I did. Is when you're sleepingthose and you're awake those when you masturbate
those, be naughty more nice.By the way, world is going to

(33:19):
hell. Jesus is and God areworried about whether or not I'm touching myself
inappropriately. You know what, maybeI don't want to go to heaven run
by those two idiots. Did yousee the other day? Was it the
cool pope was like, Hey,we can bless gay couples. Okay,
what sure? Okay, I don'teven I don't even care. Hey,
listen, they have the direct lineto God. I guess you know he's

(33:43):
been going on down here. Yougot to be cooler with gay people.
God, Come on, God,it's twenty first century. The Bible is
the literal. That's what we're taught. Is the one guy on earth.
He's got the hot line, he'sgot the red phone at the beast,
the one guy the batphone to Jesusto God, knowing not to Jesus to
God, even though they're the samething as that, even though even though

(34:06):
we're taught that we can all talkto him in our own way, there's
one guy and he's got the redphone. Hey God, and it's based
on how big his head is.It's me, Pope. Oh, God.
Yeah. Anyways, Merry Christmas everybody, which, by the way,

(34:27):
which, by the way, ifyou look into the historical ship, this
is all based off of a paganfestival that was held in the winter.
Jesus Christ was actually born in fuckingthe springtime. It was much too fucking
cold for him to have been bornin December twenty fifth. And for everything
that happened the region of the world, fucking Israel, it don't fucking snow
there. Even if he was bornin December, there wouldn't have been snow.

(34:49):
He was born in a fucking desert. It's yeah, watched the Boondocks
Christmas episode. It's it's a it'sa very merry Christmas only at Quincy Jones.
But I think it's in the firstfive minutes you could probably find like
here we explains Christmas. That clipon YouTube. It just lays it out

(35:09):
and it's like go fact check it. They're not wrong. There you go,
folks, that's what you're celebrating inthe name of Jesus. Thank you
for visiting Christopher Media dot and act. Thank you for visiting Christopher Media dott

(35:30):
you know what whatever, you knowwhat was get off the fucking political ship.
It is a Christmas fucking holiday,and I'm working in an environment where
I find myself doing things I've neverdone before. Mainly I'm not drinking,
So the booze I buy at thisjob is for other people, and it's
not to drink my pain away frommaking poor life choices. So, like,

(35:52):
I gotta ask. I know I'meven though I'm gen X, I'm
mad boomerish, but for doing this, and I if any of my co
workers have somehow found this podcast,I guess this is a half ass apology,
but it just felt like what you'resupposed to do. I was raised
that with your co workers, ifyou're in the management position or if you're
in a like an office thing,not so much the blue collar the white

(36:15):
collar side. Right, you givebooze the week before Christmas, at some
point in the week leading up tothe last day of work before Christmas vacation,
you give booze to your your fellowmanagers or white collar people, and
then if you're doing Secret Santa,that's whenever you give it out. This
seems like a lost art, notjust giving booze, but like when to

(36:37):
give gifts and having multiple gifts atmultiple times and you know what I'm saying
doesn't seem like something that people doanymore. I ain't done like a secret
Santas. It's like fucking high school. High school. Yeah. Really,
I'm trying to think, dude,you were a general manager of places,
and like you never even had likeyour employees start a secret Santa thing up,
and like they just throw your name, and maybe we did. I

(36:59):
don't know. I thinks I don't. I can tell you I didn't do
a secret sand in my thirties orforties. I can guarantee you that we're
almost halfway through the forties. YouI'm past that home fifties and fifties coming
with a vengeance and it's pissed andI'm just like, god damn it.
But well, okay, well thenthere you got. I mean, but

(37:20):
like the booze thing, what aboutthat? Because you worked in it,
You worked in an office in aprofessional, white collar valuary. Like I
tell you that I went to aChristmas party this past week. It's like
our little friend's Christmas party. Thatone is all booze. So you guys
are exchanging boost So that's okay.So that was that's acceptable. I came
on when there was like three bottlesof bourbon on the fucking I just thought,
you know, Lion's been doing well, and I know you like to

(37:40):
go to your boys and drink onSunday, so maybe you're drinking to celebrate
instead of drinking the drowning sorrows,and so you're drinking more. One of
those is coming with me to thewatching spot and we will part the Metallica
bottle. Will God damn it,you gotta bring it back here for fucking
Christmas Eve, because I just thatmight be the day it gets empty.
God damn it. I just like, can you pour one shot? I

(38:01):
just want someone who's a Metallica fanwho's probably gonna be here to have a
shot of it. So well,no, they need to have that's special
edition in native of the regular one. Dude. It's fucking it's so ridiculous.
I think it's like it's it's uh, it's what is it? It's
I'm not cured what what in brandybarrels? And I think fucking Metallica is

(38:23):
played while it's fucking doing. It'slike, okay, now we're getting into
like I don't need all that,dude, they do. So there's this,
slap your logo on it and dothe up charge. Just get this
over. There's this booze called Jefferson'sOcean and it's fucking uh fermented in fucking
barrels on this fucking chip that fuckingtravels. It's like it's they do so

(38:47):
much pretentious ship with booze. Now, Okay, you know I it's because
of hipsters. Okay, Scott,you never listen to this podcast, but
if you ever find this episode,fuck you, you piece of shit.
It's you and your little I pA want drink that cap pist tasting and
smelling nastiness and all your fucking microbrewery pretentiousness that has started this ship.

(39:08):
And I cannot stand this horse shit. And Dennis Leary called it back in
ninety seven. He's like, I'min New York. So I see a
place. I see a sham rock, I see a I see a Budweiser.
You think what I think? AnIrish bar. I go in,
looks like an Irish bar, woodenbar. Let me get a shot a
Budweiser. We don't sell Budweiser.Why isn't this a bar? No,

(39:30):
it's a micro brewery. Well,really, we'll go in the back and
micro brew me up some fucking budwisebecause I am very fucking thirsty. Well
me, was it just whiskey?What was this one hundred and twenty seven
ye old oak, b early ageI reciping whiskey? How about this another
one, you know, fucking bottle. I'm asa simp that too, that's

(39:52):
yes. But I must say thatof my coworkers about booze, for like,
to of them, they drink somestuff, put some hair on your
nuts. One of them don't havenuts. So I'm like, all right,
go ahead. That's kind of shocked. I mean, one of them,
it's like it's Crown Royal Apple.Oh that's that's big with the kids
now, Crown Apple. And theother was just straight up Jack Daniels.

(40:15):
I was like, all right,there you go, to be fair.
Crown Apple was showing up in thebars at the end of my bar career,
so it's it's not like it's anew like because I remember us tasting
them. Well shit, Crown RoyalDelicious. The ex wife likes it,
so yeah, she uses it andmixes it with some other and she got
some drink that it's got a name, and I don't know what the fuck

(40:37):
it's called. But she she wasall about that right before we split up,
and so that was it had tobe around like what two thousand and
eight, Crown Royal saw the millennialscoming, like we need to start making
flavors. Yeah, but I mean, like whatever, I just it's strange
to me. I don't know,I cause it's like, what what the
fuck because it kind of felt weirdgiving booze? But at the same time,

(41:00):
it's like, what the fuck doI give you weed? I mean,
it is legal in the state.Technically I wouldn't be do anything wrong.
It also get some weed as apresent, dude, I'm telling you,
whoever got me a secret saying,oh, it's what does rich?
Like? Not much? What doeswhat does rich? Okay? What could
you give rich to cheer them up? Probably something to do with weed,

(41:23):
Like okay, so you get aflesh light. There's a fifteen dollars limit.
If I don't. First of all, maybe that got not. If
that's not, If it's maybe theycan come on. If it's under fifteen
dollars, it's not a fleshlight.It's a fiefee. That's something you make
in prison out of fucking gloves,sponges, empty pringles can and some lube.
All right, that's what the fuckthat is. That's not a flesh

(41:47):
light. Sorry, did I actuallyfucking give some shit away? He broke
me. Yeah, Well, youknow, I saw it on the internet.
We're gonna leave it at that.There you go. That's what I'll
say. That's my story that youcatch off for everything. I saw it
on the internet. If I sawit online. Yeah, if I saw

(42:07):
it online. Can't be illegal,right, wouldn't be on there if it
was illegal? Oh god? Soall right? So yeah, so Christmas
traditions at work, the whole secretsaying the thing. I guess I understand
it because it's like, this isa very Most of the jobs that I've
done secret saying ed have been likejobs where the office people are you watch

(42:27):
the office? I never did,but I understand. There's the front of
the building people, and there's theback of the building people. The office
people would come back and push pushthat bullshit on us in the back,
and we'd be like, oh god, really, and of course we're getting
someone as our secret hand who's inthe office, and we have no fucking
idea. I don't even know you'vebeen lying this bitch up with four other

(42:49):
bitches and I couldn't tell you whichone this bitch is. And I'm supposed
to buy her a fucking Christmas giftthe fuck out of here. But that's
what the office bitches wanted, sothey got what they wanted. Well,
yeah, that's what I'm used to. This is kind of like, oh,
all right, so like everybody's gota pretty much I think, a
good idea what to get each other. I didn't really think of it like
it being a high school thing.Now that makes me feel fucking weird.

(43:10):
Well old to be participating in highschool. Like if I go to work
in the next fucking like team buildingexercise is like we're gonna play spinning the
bottle, I'm just leaving. I'mjust fucking quitting at that point now,
see you. Yeah, you knowwhat, there's fucking plenty of place.
I bet you can't play secret spenda bottle in twenty twenty three power dynamic
forced blah blah blah. God,I don't fucking know whatever. I'm sure

(43:35):
everyone has to consent. Who canfuck without getting criticized senior citizens? No,
because that's problematic. Sex well,if they're fucking each other, it's
just old people going Ay, I'msure at some point like if running out,
because you know what, because oldespecially old white dudes get real honest

(43:55):
the older, they get about whatthey like sexually. And I know a
lot of old white dudes whore likeI love me some brown sugar, I
love me some black women. Andit's like, all right, I never
had a problem. Apparently that's aproblem. And I'm like, wait,
it's a problem. He finds blackwomen attractive. Well, he's fetishizing that.
So finding someone attractive is fetishized.Then if we look back through everybody

(44:16):
you date, you don't have atype. That would be my answer to
that person. Well, my answeris if being attracted to someone is fetishizing
them, then and you are justall inclusive. You got fat dudes,
white dudes, brown dudes, whichby the way, is a dude used
to be almost four hundred pounds.No short dudes. There ain't bitches lined

(44:37):
up to suck off the four hundredpound guys. Okay, that ain't happening.
There's why inclusivity rich, Yeah,I know, right, And what's
funny is when you get one ofthose chicks who will sit there and fucking
deer in headlights thousand yards stare ofstupidity, look you dead in the face,
and make an argument. Why.Well, yes, I would be
with a guy who's four hundred pounds. Oh okay, I'm bull shit,

(45:00):
I'm four hundred pounds about me?Uh, because I want to talk real
every guys. Every guy's got certainthings that make their dick hard, and
every chick's got certain things that maketheir pussy wet. Welcome to everybody's wired
different. And here's the thing.Guys who like big women for the most
part, unless the dude has anissue with it, no one really cares.

(45:23):
No one really cares. And ontop of that, there's big women,
expect there to be a contingent ofguys who are into them because of
their fucking size, and they don'tgive a fuck. Now, there ain't
that for men go to these fatWho's homeboy who used to uh Savage love

(45:43):
fan Savage He went to a fatacceptance conference blah blah blah blah blah,
and it was all fat or skinnywomen, as I think he put it
as over or underweight women looking orexcuse me, all overweight women looking for
either guinny men or if they werelesbian, I guess they would get like
bigger women. But that's it.There was at no point was anybody.

(46:07):
They're looking for fat guys, notgay guys, which is shocking, but
I guess it wasn't a bear convention, then you would have found all of
them. And Dan Savage is isas gay as Dad's old hat band,
as they used to say back inthe day. I know the gays are
specific, they category. There's thistype of ga, there's this type of

(46:27):
g you're skinny and you're under sixfoot, you're a twink. You're fucking
over six foot and you're over threehundred pounds, you're a bear. If
you're into that shit and you're undersix foot and you're under three hundred pounds,
you're a cub. And it's like, you guys don't give a fuck
about offending anybody, but you knowwhy, because the dicks are in charge,
male libidos. I am blown awayat how casual this. I am

(46:49):
glad the millennials are very casual abouttheir body count because I find it fucking
fascinating. The repulsion. Then theycatch themselves that women have to the high
body counts that gay men have becausethese bitches out here with like like within
a cunt hair of three digits forbody count, thinking that they're out there

(47:10):
fucking crushing shit. And then agay guy who's like twenty five be like,
oh, I've been with like fouror five hundred guys. That was
last summer. Yeah, like andthey're like how He's like, Oh,
it's nothing to be with three fourguys in one day. I And it's
like, there you go. Butyou want to be accepting, don't you.
You want to be open, youwant to be sex positive, don't

(47:31):
you. But if this was anybodybut a gay guy telling you this,
you'd be like, that's fucking disgusting, and you know it. There you
go. Hypocrisy wins out over theover a true reaction. I am inclined
to be. Uh. To anotherpodcast I listened to, Just you Know
says two male sex drives together justmust be just crazy. Yes, it's

(47:53):
gotta be insane, dude. I'mtelling you, that's the one PolyAm relationship
I know of that works. Isgay dudes who are furries who are into
that, and I mean like intoit the whole. It's not just like
we got our furs suits. Wego to fur conventions every once in a

(48:14):
while, we do something fur relatedin the bedroom. It is everything outside
of what they do to make aliving pretty much resolves revolves around that community
and they're all about sex with eachother. And as long as no one
the rule is as long as someonein the relationship doesn't go, I don't
like that person. If you hearthat, that's a no go. And

(48:35):
if you do, at that point, you're risking apparently being thrown out of
that relationship. Like that's that's theirversion of cheating outside of that fuck away.
So what I'm hearing is within thelast week, possibly this week,
someone has been dressed like Santa betyes, Santa Yes, Santa beart from

(48:57):
what the Sears catalog back in theeighties, wasn't it Hudsons Hudsons o kah
yeah yeah, And they had onefor every year. It's yes, basically
the same bear with a new hatthat said a different year on and it
costs fifty fucking dollars in the eighties. Yeah yeah, but I'm sure there's
someone that fucked one with it likea homemade tefee and it's like they cut
out the hole and be oh,dude, for real, the snuggles Bear.

(49:20):
Oh that's like, if you area bear and you're in the cubs,
who better to fuck than a snugglesBear? I mean, hollow,
would that motherfucker out stick your flashlight in there and go to town.
I mean it's that's you gonna feellike king king bear and that's your little
cubs. So are we gonna watchthat commercial the same? I just bought
some fabric soften and guess what kindof bought thought, Tell me a du

(49:44):
laundy and be like you, here'sthe thing. The only reason I bought
it was not because of that,but because, like, that was what
my grandmother would buy, because sheliked the commercial. It was like one
of those things. It's like,Grandma, that's a real that's a real
silent generation of you to because I'mgonna buy fabric softer because it's bear.
That's not a reason to buy aproduct, Grandma. But okay, do
laundry and be like, oh youpoor thing. Now. I macsicually wonder

(50:07):
if my grandmother was a closet furryand she wanted to fuck the snuggle Bear.
You didn't ask for this. I'mjust saying, like I had one
grandmother that when the alzheimer started kickingin, her love of black man really
came out. She saw Jerome Bettison like right after he retired, and
he went to like trying to dothe fucking behind the desk shit, and
she was like, that is avery good looking man. And I'm like,

(50:29):
God, damn, Nana, Likeyou want something. We know what
happened back in the day. Oh, when she was eating her snickers,
she did it with the dick vane, fucking face him down because she liked
the texture on her tongue. Iguarantee, yeah, Nana liked it.
Oh yeah, she worked in Detroitand she worked in the automotive industry.
I mean, I know that's howwe all got here. But still I
don't even know her. And I'mlike, oh, Grandma, what this

(50:52):
is the family? There ain't noone alive left. I'm the last one
of that fucking bloodline to speak of. So I don't give a fuck.
Who's gonna get offended me. No, they did it. It's the truth.
But no, IT'SOK. That dayin middle school you come home and
you look at your parents, You'relike, oh, you have that realization
and like, oh, that's howI got it. Ah. No,

(51:15):
the realization I had was talking withsomebody recently and talking about movies that you
saw way too young in life thatfucked you up, and this person throughout
the Exorcist. I was like,no, I didn't see the Exorcist.
So I was a teenager and Ihad already pretty much known what to expect
because I'd heard all about it.It's still jarring to see it. Well,

(51:36):
teenager. When I say teenager,I mean like eleven twelve, So
that's like what tweens, that's whatthey call them. Middle school. Yeah,
middle school, that's what That's whatI mean, middle school, not
grade school. That means teenager.But but my mom and my dad saw
it when they were newlyweds, andapparently the house they lived in had an

(51:58):
attic that was just like the atticeither doorway or whatever the fuck it was
that was in the Extressist, andmy mom would flip the fuck out and
like wake my dad up the middleof the night, go check the attic.
I heard a noise and I could. I can barely remember my parents
together, but I can hear thatargument. You know what I'm saying because
I know both of them, andmy mom being like, go do this,
and my dad being like, youare a grown ass woman. It

(52:21):
is a fucking movie. Go tofuck to sleep, you know what I'm
saying, Like, I can hearthat, but I have no memory of
my parents can pretty much. Soyeah, sorry, don't know where that
came from. Anyways, you weredying, so go ahead, Oh dying.
We got a coffin over there.Oh that was a while ago.
Uh, well, we're talking aboutSecretsanna Christmas, then the actors family shit.

(52:45):
Yeah, yeah, that's why,that's why, that's what we're talking
about. Yeah, if you can'thear from all the cough and there might
be some ingesting of some fucking substancesgoing on right now, And we're sitting
in the same room, which iskind of a rare thing anymore on the
podcast, Like what times a year? Yeah, but what else do we
have? Mm? Yeah, I'mraw dogging it today. I didn't even
I didn't bring anything. I'm goingI'm going hard like it's twenty fourteen and

(53:07):
we're back in the basement of theold place, just showing up me myself
and I about nursing baby giraffe diesafter being spooked. Zoo brings in grief
counselors for staff. Yes that wasas an actual as a real headline.
Okay, yeah right, it's griefcounselors. I mean, I feel if

(53:27):
you work at a zoo, you'reprobably at least should be in that farm
mentality with animals. No, not, farm is way different. Don't get
attached. No, farm is different. And I know people to get attached
to even the farm animals, especiallyif it's like a farm animal that like
there's a chance it won't get fuckingslaughtered. It's like, yeah, you

(53:49):
can get attached to this, butthen it's like, well, you know,
get a little long in the toothand that's good meat and go to
way. So but I can seegetting attached to animals at zoo. I
can see getting attach to animals ifyou work with animals period. That's why
I kind of wonder if people whoreally love animals ever go into any type
of animal like veterinarian shit, becausewouldn't it be almost hard to sit there

(54:13):
and have to see all this fuckingshit that you have to do to animals
and put them down, and youknow, I mean literally like Oh,
your horse broke its leg. There'snothing we can do. Shoot it.
That's nuts, that's nuts. Ifyou're an animal lover, how could you
even do that job? I've attwenty twenty three, we still don't have
the technology to fix a horse's leg. What is so I don't I have

(54:36):
no idea. And this is whereI wish I could call up like one
of my exes and be like,explain this shit, because she was all
about horses, like, what isso special about a horse's leg? That?
Well? I said for that.Okay, I might be completely wrong.
I might have been really drunk andhigh and drank this part of my
fucking memory away or warped it,but I swear I've had this conversation with

(54:57):
this ax and the part of theconversation was something to do with how their
bones are. It's almost impossible tosplint or even you can't cast basically a
horse leg, so if they breakit, it stays broke. You can't
we can't set it like we canour stuff. And their bones, I
guess, are more brittle. Idon't know if they're hollow or I don't

(55:20):
know. Like I said, I'mtrying to remember something from twenty fucking years
ago. So but I remember hertrying to explain this to me, and
I'm going, that doesn't sound likea reason to kill an animal, just
like, get it off its feettill it heals. So if it breaks
its leg in the wild, isthat it does it just sit there until
it fucking dies. Actually, yeah, yeah, like certain animals. Yeah,
in the wild, you break yourleg, you get left behind.

(55:43):
You can't keep up, and justleave it behind. See that's the cat
that I had for fourteen years gone. He was found and he was a
yeah, left behind because one hewas the runt, and two he had
a bum leg, and his momand the rest of his fucking littermates just
skidat and left him in the parkinglot of this fucking apartment I was running.
A buddy of mine was getting upto go to work in the morning.

(56:04):
He went to go getting his truckand he heard his squeak and he
was like, what the fuck Andhe looked and right behind the fucking like
his back tires was this little kitand that was my cat bum Leg.
Took it to the vet. They'relike, there's nothing we can do for
him. It'll hill up on itsown. He's young enough. We were
like, oh, okay. They'relike, if you didn't find him,
he'd have probably died. A biggerpredator would have came and probably killed him

(56:25):
and ate him, or somebody wouldran him over in that parking lot hawk
something. Yeah. They're like,but that's and I was like, wow,
that's rough. They're like, that'swhat happens in the wild. If
an animal breaks its leg, youcan't. If you can't, if you
can't take care of yourself, youdon't survive. There's no animal triage.
They're not it's not a Disney film. They're not going to show up and
fucking you know, sing songs aroundyou and Shitol channel cut and Ivory wins

(56:49):
right now. Message all, that'swhat misseparates us from animals, is that
we don't fucking leave our elderly outto die and be picked apart, you
know, by the fucking wild lifelife. Supposedly, that's what separates us
from animals. Supposedly, do wehave you heard about what goes on in
old people home? I've seen it. Yeah, I don't need to hear
about it. I've seen it likefirsthand with family, and I've seen it

(57:10):
delivering to them for over a decade, essentially like leaving them with wild animals.
That's why, sorry, that's whyI'm like, Hey, if someone
wants to check out and you're overa certain age, I believe that we
should almost provide the gun in thebullet. There you go right here.
It'll be real quick, painless,like turning this. See Ozzie's talked about
him and him and sharing have somekind of assistant suicide pack and there's some

(57:35):
place in Switzerland or something they gotall planned out. Oh, there's there's
places in Europe. I guess whereyou can if you have a terminal disease
or if they've deemed like something thatyou're never going to fully recover from is
going to affect your quality of life. That yeah, they they'll they'll let
you. They'll have someone show upand like inject you with what they they
do for what do you call it, uh, lethal injection, which I

(57:59):
don't know if you've follow Ausie.I don't think we're gonna see him turn
eighty. He just turned seventy five. Oh no, no, no,
he had that. It's it's allfallout from his ATV accident that he had.
He had some kind of spine surgerylast year that was supposed to be
the end of it, and theyfucked him up even worse and they also
found like a tumor in his spine. So at this point, like his

(58:21):
goal is he just wants to doone more show to say thank you to
everybody, and like it's he startssmoking weed again and Sharon was ragging on
him. He's like, how longyou want me around? Because this is
gonna help keep me around a littlelonger. Like I guess, yeah,
that's part that they said they gotan assistant suicide packed. And if it
just gets to a point where he'slike because he's talked about like it's like

(58:44):
like he's in a wheelchair now,like standing form like hurts and stuff.
Like he had a couple concerts planned. He had to cancel him because he
said, I'm not gonna I'm notgoing out Like I'm not gonna be like
Phil Collins. I'm not gonna beup there in a fucking wheelchair like you're
either getting me standing up and trying, or you ain't getting me. I
mean, I get that, Andto be honest with you, I mean,

(59:05):
Phil Collins, that music lends itselfmore to Phil because Phil Collins half
the time was sitting down while singingthat shit anyway, because he was behind
the drum kit. Yeah. Yeah, so it's like that's not so shocking.
Like when I saw BB King,he was sitting down, and I'll
tell you what, BB King stillfucking brought it more than fucking guys half
his age that I've seen all overthe country. I mean, I wanted

(59:30):
to be a blues guy, youknow, play guitar for a living at
one point and just play blues,So I was always going into blues bars.
B B King what, I thinkhe was eighty, maybe he was
still in the seventies when I sawhim. It was only like a couple
of years before he died. Butthat age, sitting in a chair,
still playing better than guys half hisage or even in their twenties, with
more fucking fire even And I waslike, how the fuck have I been

(59:52):
missing out on? And BB King'stone was kind of nasty, like he
had four twins going on ten,and I was like, holy shit,
dude, you're driving fort For nonguitar players. These are very loud amps
that are known very well for theirheadroom, which means you can dime them
out ten across the board on everyfucking setting and they stay clean, they

(01:00:14):
don't distort, and he was overdrivingthem. So I was like, okay,
this BB because BBI was funny.He had that three thirty five fucking
or whatever. It was probably fuckingwide open into them things. And then
fucking hot pickups he had on thatship. Oh yeah, but yeah,
anyway, Sorry, did I gooff on a musician rant? Sorry,
I have no idea what you're talkingabout beside the musician rant. Oh we

(01:00:36):
did all started with grief counselors fora giraffe at a zoo. There you
go, digression after digression. Yeah, now, just another sign that we're
getting very soft. You know.We had when I was going to uh
uh it was elementary school. Wehad like, I figure, figure,
if you're gonna go work on hisfigure that hey, an animal might die,

(01:00:57):
like especially if you're going like theydon't just hire you off the street,
like hey, I want to workat the zoo. Right, they're
finding these people that specialized degrees,probably worked probably trained in the field,
right, Like, hey, youmight some of these animals you care for
might die at some point. Youhave to be equipped to handle that.
That makes me wonder if it's notthose people that are getting the grief counseling

(01:01:19):
and all this shit, if it'sthe fucking wage slaves who are more like,
oh, yeah, I need griefcounseling, I need paid time off,
and I need all this shit becausethey can get it. Why not.
You don't think executives take advantage ofall their fucking perks and the fucking
you know, like the let's bendthe rules, but we're not really breaking
rules type shit that they get,like that's part of jobs. Oh,
it's all I got paid to goaway from Little Caesars. That's what I'm

(01:01:42):
saying. My HR complain had allthe right words and phrases, isn't it.
That's what I'm saying, Like it'sthat type of shit like that.
Yeah, and I talk about thatnow by my terms of my agreement.
Yeah, because we had to playthe whole you know, your job,
your work, Like I don't thinkwe ever even fucking slipped up. Yeah.

(01:02:06):
I think it was like two orthree years. I couldn't talk about
it, and for one year therewas a non compete, but I was
like, yeah, good luck.I violated that right away. Well,
here's the thing. It's not onyou. It's on the company that hires
you, isn't it. Non Competesget shredded in court all the time you're
allowed to earn a living. NonCompetes seem to me like fucking most prenups

(01:02:29):
these days. If there's anything toget out of a out of somebody via
a divorce, they're gonna find away to shred that prenup. So it's
gonna be there's something, you knowwhat I'm saying, like a noncompete to
fuck out of here, because thenif the person that wants it enforced really
pitches a fifth in the judgeable,then pay them for however long you want
them to not work in the industry. But see, here's the thing.

(01:02:50):
Here's here's where, here's where meand you differ on how we look at
shit like this. I know thishappens on the executive level. I know,
beyond the shadow of a doubt.Why my mom was married to a
fucking president of a goddamn engineering companywho is forty one years old, the
youngest president of that fucking company orany engineering company in Detroit's history up to
that point. I saw the bullshitand the fuckery and the shenanigans that went
on behind the scenes. I sawexecutives using hourly wage people to come work

(01:03:16):
on their house, work on theircar. Do this do that any hourly
people who were on the line orin the manufacturing part were gaming the system
just as well. Why is thecash John? Why is one group demonized
but the other group is given apass for doing so? It's almost like,
oh, the executives, Well,that's what comes with the job.

(01:03:37):
You get people who do you favors, and you do that mafia. I'll
do you a favor, you dome a favorite, quid pro quo,
scratch my back, I scratch yours. But when that shit happens on the
fucking the blue collar side, everyonegets upset. Is it truly just because
people are getting things that you don'tfeel they worked hard enough to deserve in
your mind? And that's what thisis based on. Because you obviously feel

(01:03:58):
the executives work hard to get alltheir shit. Why don't you feel the
rank and file for work that hardto get it off shit. I'm asking
you this question. This is nota rhetorical question. I'm looking at so
like why is one frowned upon soheavily by you and by proxy people who
agree with you, and what theother's given a pass? I don't get
we're to be cause you go ahead, go Aheaday? No, no?

(01:04:23):
I guess where did I give youthis impression? Anytime we bring up anybody
who works a job that's an hourlypaid job that has any type of union
attached to it versus any type ofexecutive or middle management and above job that
has no union attached to it,because the union's a fucking grift that takes
your money and generally doesn't do anything. So it's solely the unions that you
have the beef with. It's notthe fact that the fucking employees are gaming

(01:04:45):
the system unions, but they're usingthe union to game the system. And
just as much as the executives don'twant the union there because it doesn't allow
them to game the system as much. So it's a it's a give and
take, it's a power struggle.It's a fucking tug of war. How
do you pick a side and rootfor one and be like, yeah,
fuck the other side. I justdon't understand it. I picked a side

(01:05:06):
with less bureaucracy. Union, it'sanother layer of bureaucracy. I'm not disagreeing
with another group of people telling you, like, no, don't worry,
we know better. And unions.Once again, there are the UAW unions,
which is what I think most peoplein America think of when they hear
the word union. The bigger unionswe have, like the team stters,
which I don't even think the teamstersreally have that much fucking poll outside of

(01:05:27):
certain fucking pockets of Hollywood and certainjob descriptions, right, I think anything
on wheels. The teamsters still gotbull with truck driving. Man, I
don't know anybody who's a teamster,and I know people who drove for fucking
Country Fresh for twenty years. I'mlike, are you a teamster? No?
How do you drive a fucking daycabfor Country Fresh in Michigan without being

(01:05:48):
union? I don't know. I'vedone it for twenty years. Did you
ever have a union? They werelike, yeah when I started, you
know, almost thirty years ago,but they started inside. By the time
they were driving, union was out. That's what the teamsters were. Teamsters
were on the way out. Whenmy dad was driving in the seventies,
as a local driver. Oh wow, So that's what I'm saying, Like
they might have been around, butthey would only be around with like the

(01:06:10):
UAW because that's how these unions work. They team up with other unions.
Like Local fifty eight had to makeme a member of their union so I
could work at any of the Bigthree because non union labor couldn't come in
on a contractual job at that point. So if I was going to do
anything touching anything electrical, even ifit was literally changing in light bulb,

(01:06:30):
which is what I was doing relampingthe Chrysler Tech Center, I had to
be union. So you know whatI'm saying Like that, that type of
shit is where I'm like, fuckthe unions. But when employees get together
and they go and start their ownunion, how is that different than in
principle then franchise owner franchise owners banningtogether and going we each owned Let's say

(01:06:54):
there's five of us, we eachown ten franchises. But if we band
together, now we have fish defranchisesbehind what we say, why is an
ownership group okay? But a unionnot? Is it just the bureaucracy?
Because if that's the case, thenbreak up the big unions and let fucking
let employees basically start their own unionand give them protection against retribution for trying

(01:07:16):
to start a union, give themthat bargaining chip without the big union bureaucracy
involved in it. Well, theconverse, the bigger conversation is if our
legislative bodies did their jobs, wewouldn't fucking need union. But see,
I don't buy that because there's fuckingcompanies that are always gonna fucking Why did
we have to why did something haveto uh, what's the word I'm looking

(01:07:39):
forward, like generically form because ofthe ineptitude of our government. The unions
weren't formed because of ineptitude of thegovernment, because the government was just very
fucking hands off. When like alot of the initial Teamster ship like the
Hoffa Shit, the ship you seein the movies and reading the books,
and which is now considered I guessif you're under if you're younger than us,
is considered ancient hit Street because it'scoming up on one hundred years since

(01:08:01):
the fucking team shirts started, Likeit was post World War One, wasn't
it. With the trucking boom andin the industrial really taken off in America
needed to get goods from one placeto another. Train ain't gonna stop at
every fucking town, behind every fuckingstore in every suburb. So I also
think the NLRB has become a joke. Like if you read about a lot

(01:08:21):
of their rulings, like half ofthem makes sense and half of them are
like it's it's like what started theshow. Half of them are partisan bullshit
and they have no teeth. Anyruling they they they issued is it.
They're really like suggestions, Well here'swhat we found. Okay. It's essentially

(01:08:42):
like, uh, what the companythat has to complain against him unless there's
anything in it that really violates federallabor law, Like you know it could
be George Carlin, Well, Ineed another useless piece of piece of paper
from the state floating around in here. I got eight or nine of these
things. They just crumple it upand throwing it over their fucking shoulder.
I mean, the joke that I'vemade for fucking years now is don't hurt

(01:09:04):
yourself at any of the jobs I'veworked at, because if you file for
fucking workman's comp the next day,you're gonna come in and see the fucking
owner burning all his paperwork behind thestore going never worked for me. I
don't know what you're talking about.You can go look through all my files.
Never mind this just burning some trash. Don't worry about that. And
I mean that. So I'm like, what the fucking good is that government

(01:09:25):
agency? What good are they doing? The only thing they're doing is,
like I said, they're trying tonot even justify, they're trying to rationalize
their own existence, to keep gettinga paycheck, to keep existing. Once
again, you don't just chop offthe whole fucking arm because you got a
hangnail. If you don't do anythingabout that hangnail, the whole arm could
get infected where you could lose achunk of it. And that's where we're

(01:09:46):
at. But the solution isn't togo, Okay, well, since we
have to chop the arm off now, this is how we're gonna solve this
from here on out. No,just take care of your fucking hangnails in
the first place. And this problemwith it, it's like gun laws.
Why are we passing new gun lawswhen you can't enforce the ones that are
on the fucking books. Agreed?What the fuck good are new laws gonna
do. Look, I did something, That's what it is. And that's

(01:10:10):
once again I'm not I'm not saying, first of all, I mean to
me the union and governments, Idon't know. I having family that were
teamsters and getting their side of thefucking story and everything and blah blah blah
and hearing the I guess the oralhistory it has been passed down through teamsters
and blah blah blah, this andthat. I don't know what role did

(01:10:30):
the government really have then, becauseit was literally police versus or police that
were on a payroll of a companyversus scabs versus and scabs versus union.
That was really it. What wasthe government doing to stop it? What
was the federal government doing? Evenlocal governments outside of the police, the
local police departments that were basically turninga blind eye to police officers being their

(01:10:51):
private army. This is where,like I know, I'm not a full
libertarian because I think that's part ofwhat the government. One of their functions
should be. There should be walkeddogs over that shit, keeping those people
on us, making sure they're notdoing crazy shit. But instead it's a
deeper conversation, right, government's notgoing to do that because those are the

(01:11:11):
people that are putting them in power. This is why I said bite the
hand that feeds them. And Iknow that it sounds like insane ramblings of
very high people, and it isto an extent in this podcast, but
I did say this, really,This is why I say that this shit
where we're going it doesn't end inany other way besides bloodshed. That's it.
That's all there is to it.This is not going to end well.
Corporations have already identified where they're goingto when they've basically wore out their

(01:11:39):
welcome here in America, they're alreadylooking at other parts of the world,
going well, this is a developingarea and we can go in here,
and they're willing to give us taxbreaks. They're just finishing the bottom line.
They are just finishing milking what theycan out of the American people and
then trying to set us up ina what is it, I don't know
what you would call it, andI know there's a term for it.

(01:12:00):
It's the type of economy where youdon't own anything. Everything's on a subscription
basis or a rental basis, oryou pay for the fucking service basis economy,
service, a full service economy tothe point where it's like it is
what the fucking World Economic Forum says. You own nothing and you're happy once
we're set up like that. Weare from birth, literally we are right

(01:12:21):
now, from the minute someone handsyou a phone as a child to the
day you die. That's going todictate your entire life. Mm hm.
And we've just accepted it. Thatthing has made us all consumers above anything
else. China, here's the deal. There's no more reason to fucking keep
us here. Turn us into acountry of consumers. Collect your fucking check,

(01:12:44):
move your headquarters where you're gonna getbetter fucking tax breaks to developing parts
of the world, and then startthe exploitation process all over again. Don't
worry. By the time we workback around to America, in theory,
they'll have recovered from us doing itto them the first time, and they'll
forget and about it and forgiven us, and we can do it again and
just keep this cycle going. Andhow can anyone look at that insanity and

(01:13:08):
go that's a sound plan, Becauseif that was your personal business plan,
you would be in the street.Bro. This is propped up by fucking
people going, well, that's justa business who cares. That's their only
job is to make a profit.This is beyond making a profit. But
to see they are social engineering tomake a profit. No, they're not.
That's the thing. That's where youand I differ. The people are

(01:13:29):
just The people are collateral damage.They're done with the American tax system no
longer benefits them. They're out ofhere. They'll still take our money as
consumers, but as far as wherethey're going to operate the America, it's
you don't think, okay, thefact that you have Best Buy, you
have basically any big box fucking storegetting rid of physical media. Come January

(01:13:51):
first, twenty twenty four, tothe point where I've walked into a best
Buy in the last week and literallythey're just giving away physical media in some
places like here like pay a buckand I'm like, well, that's not
literally given away, but like,damn near giving away. That's what they're
literally doing. And I'm just goingwhy because everyone I just stream everything.
I don't need to own anything really, so we just that's technology. But

(01:14:15):
that ain't happening in the development partof the world. They're selling them shit
like it's the nineteen fifties, becausethat's the cycle. And remember, all
this horrible shit has happened since America'spost World War two fucking introduction into you
know, as the world power andthis and that. Okay, cool,
but all this destruction has come becausethe consumption of the of the American consume,

(01:14:38):
you know, consumer, and that'swhat we are. We're consumers.
All we do is consume. Sowhat the fuck is going to change when
it goes to someplace else in theworld. It's gonna be any different exactly,
but somehow it's gonna be good whenit happens there, but it was
bad when it was happening here.People can't even fucking decide how they feel
about this shit because they're just fuckinggoing, what am I supposed to buy
next? What am I supposed todo? Now? This is madness,

(01:15:00):
man, Like the fact that youbuy a fucking you by, you buy
a service because you can't fix yourown ship, which I kind of ran
into this week in like in thereal world, off off the fucking podcast.
And it's like that we had tohave the government step in and go,
no, okay, all right,Corporate America that's stacking the deck a
little too much in your favor.You already get to name the rules,

(01:15:24):
name the fucking stakes. You can'tstack the deck. Oh you mean they
did their job, But why didthey do their job? That's what I
would be interested in. What fuckinghappened? Who? Who had Who made
the right phone call the politician,Yeah, to the right politician to get
the politicians to go, Okay,we're going to side with not corporate America
for a change here which never happenshardly at all in our political process.

(01:15:49):
That's what I want to know.But that's that's another wrong meeting. We'll
meet. We'll talk about that atthat meeting. Wrong layer of the onion.
Rich Look, man, I getthat. There's a fucking sight,
there's a process, there's a cyclein life. Everything that's born must die.
Creation comes from destruction. I understandall that. Okay, I can
get up my ass philosophically about thatif I want to. That's not what

(01:16:12):
I'm having a problem with. WhatI'm having a problem with is this artificial
fucking construction that is being made ofturn us into consumers who just plug in
and stream everything. They don't haveto sell us a physical product. You
get one or two generations that justgo, oh, well, anything besides
my phone, I really enclose andwhatever I need. You literally have cities

(01:16:34):
on the West Coast that are experimentingwith enclosed communities where if anyone in this
enclosed like basically prison needs something andcan an appliance, they go to a
community fucking scent like like area andcheck out what they need, take it

(01:16:55):
back to their fucking cubicle or theirpod or whatever, use it it and
return it. And it's like,what wants to live that way? Thank
you for visiting Christopher media dot net. Thank you for visiting Christopher media dot
net. Do you want to livethat way? No? But I just

(01:17:17):
think we're also live at a pivotaltime in history. I think we're in
the Industrial Revolution part two, andwe could be like two guys sitting around
here rewind one hundred years ago.We could be talking about the dangers of
industrializing society like it's and a lotof them came true, a lot of
them were spot on it. AndI don't think we're out of I think

(01:17:38):
this is part of the Industrial Revolution. I think the fact that they try
to say that the dot com bubbleor whatever. They the tech revolution is
different than the industrial revolution. Ithink that's what I'm saying. There's it.
They're they're trying that, they're trying, that's the human ego trying to
go. My generation is the startof history. My generation is year zero.

(01:17:58):
You're not that important. No onealive right now is that important.
Shut the fuck up, go away, You're not fucking Jonah Sulk. You're
not caring polio. You're not important. Most people on this planet could be
easily replaced and no one would getthis planet would be perfectly fine. So
stop that shit. But that's whatthat mentality is. And that's the problem.
Whatever this is, this is waytoo many fucking layers of the onion

(01:18:21):
in it. It's just I don'tunderstand how people don't have a problem with
I just don't. And I mean, like I guess when you go to
buy your to defend the two generationsbelow us, when it's all you know,
why do you have a problem?Like you realize we were we were
twenty years for we were born ata time when people people were still still
talking about TV's going to rock yourbrain. When we were little kids.

(01:18:42):
I mean there was I think there'smore and we're like, what's wrong with
TV? We TV has been aroundsince we were you know, and there
were people that were still alive whenwe were little talking about their new society
before and after TV, and they'relike, yeah, TV's bad. It's
fucking making us dumber. Yeah,And the minute the Internet came along and
it started making us dumber. WhatMarshall McEwan said has happened when the new
medium takes over, the old mediumnow drops its fucking lowest common denominator mentality

(01:19:08):
and becomes art. And television hasarguably became art since the internets became the
main form of fucking entertainment for mostpeople. Look at starting in what ninety
seven with oz on HBO and thenup through fucking all the shows that everybody
talks about. Now, how manymovies people go to that blow their mind,
But it's television shows they'll talk aboutanymore. That's what blows people's minds.

(01:19:28):
So that's just what I'm hearing ismusician digression. Musicians, you gotta
wait like twenty years, but you'llhave your day. Yeah, new metals
having a dude, I know alot of young people who are like flat
out love Korn, love fucking PapaRoach. I'm like, no one like
Lincoln Park is the Beatles, ButI just gen Z, But I just
Brian May came out I think itwas this month and said, this will

(01:19:50):
be the last year that you cantell the song was written by a human.
And the musician part of me isjust going whoa. But also he's
right, like, and that's basedon what you just said. The next
ten to twenty years, we're like, yeah, if you're a musician now
and you're making money, fucking enjoyit because that shit's gonna go away,

(01:20:14):
and it sounds with what you justsaid. In twenty years, musicians will
come back around because when AI ismaking all the music, people who make
it by hand. Ooh yeah,I've said this on this podcast, it'll
become a it'll become a novelty thing. Well you played, you play your
music by hand? Ooh, howbespoke of you? Well, I mean,
okay, look, this might bea little I don't know esoteric if
that's the proper fucking word in thissituation for the podcast, but okay,

(01:20:35):
play guitars some five and I havea medical condition that is slowly robbing the
sensation from my hands. And Idon't know how to explain it any better
than imagine your hands are halfway numbto your bones, but the like the
top of the top half of yourfingers are numb and in your hands are

(01:20:57):
numb. It's like pins and needlesthat never goes away, but the but
the the lower later, Like ifI've sick my handler scalding hot water,
it has to go. It hasto almost blister before I feel it.
When it gets to that let layer, I'm like, oh, oh shit,
that's hot. Oh fuck, LikeI've had that happen at work quite
a few times. I have.I have a lot of scars in my
hands that I don't know how Ihave them any I don't. I don't

(01:21:18):
know that I cut myself until Ifeel it, like, oh shit,
what's that? Oh? I cutmyself And it pretty much has stopped me
from playing being able to play guitarfor extended periods of time. So I
just don't play and playing guitar sinceI'm five, I've always had that physical
since dude, how much do youremember before you were five? Like maybe
flashes bits and beece is at best, right, So I've always had a

(01:21:41):
physical connection with music. Music hasnever been something that is an outside force
that I am observing. It's alwaysbeen something that I knew could I could
create, and it was I couldobserve as an outside, an outsider it
was. And now I can't play. And for whatever reason, I just
I was. I went to ashow a few months ago, the band
that was there, It's like,you know how to kind of how can

(01:22:05):
you support them? Okay, I'llbuy a fucking album and I'm like,
I don't even have a fucking recordplayer. What the fuck am I gonna
do with this thing? Right?So, then, because I was married
to my ex wife, shout outto Amber because thank you, uh.
And roundabout way, this helped hertoo, because her turntable died and I
I went, I turned into myex wife and went hunting for the cheapest,

(01:22:25):
most upgradeable turntable I could get andfound it. And then when her
turntable died, she's like, Ishould have bought this one in the first
place. It's way better and it'sway less money. And I'm like,
you're welcome, but and I'd liketo think that I'm not gonna say Chris
is cheap? Uh, frugal.I'm cheap. Oh okay, okay,
we're cool with that term. Threefifty okay, okay, but yeah that's

(01:22:46):
kind of like I like bang formy buck. But yeah, yeah,
So I bought this turntable. Assilly as this sound, like I said,
this is why it's maybe a littlebit weird for this podcast. The
ritual of pulling out an album,putting it on the turntable, putting in
the You know what I'm saying,it's it's given me a physical connection to
music again, and it's something thatI didn't realize I missed as much as
I did. That is what peoplewill find twenty years from now. They

(01:23:12):
will hear someone online. More likely, they'll probably hear someone on person in
on the street playing the guitar,and they'll be like, oh shit,
because they've never heard that before.All they've heard is twenty fucking years of
At this point, what's coming outthat's ai now in twenty years will be
the oldiest station. And as ourattention spans and our memories keep shrinking,

(01:23:35):
And that's a fucking that is ayou can measure that, and there are
scientists doing so. That is notan opinion that is a fact our vintage
is going to get less and less. When I was younger, when I
first started playing guitar, vintage wastwenty five years and older. Then when
I worked at the guitar store aroundnineteen ninety one, there was a shift.

(01:23:56):
If you were over fifty at thatpoint, you referred to everything twenty
five years an older as vintage.If you were under fifty, it was
twenty years and older was vintage.Now I'm starting to hear ten fifteen years
get bad around as vintage for real. Like I'm starting to see motherfuckers lust
for those fucking extreme grunge pedals thatcome out in the late nineties, like

(01:24:16):
after grunge had been milked, likeCreed had come out and became a joke,
and this pedal come out trying tolike ride the very last fucking ripple
of the wave of grunge two threehundred dollars used. I'm like, for
what damn? You could literally pluginto a fucking component stereo system, run
it through your grandmother speakers and itsounds just like that. Boy, my

(01:24:39):
pissed I threw that thing away,right. They were protectively give them away
at certain points, but I meanthat's that's terrible. That's what that's what
fucking gives all your bottom endo yea, yeah, absolutely, uh, but
that's what That's what I think willhappen. And then there'll be a like
a renaissance of organically created music.And then and I've I've said this on

(01:25:00):
the podcast More Weed, guys,I know I'm knowing why I smoked the
most weed apparently now that I foundout today, because I do a dab
pen that apparently I'm like ooh inthe big boy fucking category. And I
got a memory like I do.If I stop smoking weed, it's over
for everybody. But anyways, uh, I think it'll even out, and
I think there will be a marketfor organic music. There will always be

(01:25:21):
a market for lowest common denominator music, which will be the AI created shit
because it'll be the cheapest and easiestto mass produce and shove into the people's
faces. And if we've taught corporateAmerica anything, shove that fucking cheap fucking
food, Shove that cheap fucking whatever. Give us the shit that's easy,
quick and fast, and there's abig market. What I learned from radio,

(01:25:43):
it's what poor people like, bigwhy McDonald's is in business. It
is fucking amazing that I think Country, at least at the time, country
and rap were the two biggest formatsit is. It is really funny how
moving from economically on par with wherewe're at now in Metro Detroit, but

(01:26:03):
it was just on the west side. And you can see the corporate fingerprints
on the west side development of theDetroit suburbs a lot more than you can
on the east side. And whatI mean by that is when you're poor
on the west side, unless you'repoor in certain neighborhoods like Deerborn or maybe
like Angster at some point, neighborhoodsthat still had like the local places.

(01:26:26):
You're eating at fast food places.You're eating whatever the dollar menu at the
fact, because that's the easiest andquickest to get into. You have to
search for fucking a place where youcould spend the same that you can spend
in a fast food place and getdecent food. East Side, it seems
like you guys got awesome restaurants allover the fucking place that aren't fast food
places. I'm not joking either.I'm getting being desert. There's just times

(01:26:49):
I'm driving I'm like, that placelooks interesting, pull in oh my grub
up history. It's all like diners. Yeah, it's nothing. It's it's
no chain which just because I knowhow works, and buying fast food from
third party delivery it's insane. Don'tdon't do it, yes, but yeah,
no, it's it's all. It'slike, yeah, placed by my
mom's house, place up the road, like place up twenty by twenty three

(01:27:13):
mile. Yeah, it's all fuckingdiner. And dude, I think the
proof is into pudding. I mean, yeah, I quit drinking and it's
been over two years. And asmuch as I drank and what my drink
of choice was, which was beer, I mean I was consuming a lot,
you know, from a caloric intakepoint of view, but I eat
much better. I mean when Ifirst moved out here, I was like,
oh, I got to go toMcDonald's and I was like, waitmit,

(01:27:35):
no, I don't for what I'mspending to eat here. I can
eat at this fucking Lebanese place,or I can eat it this fucking breakfast
diner. Why the fuck would Ispend this year? There is a place
sorry, we're going hyper local here. For me, there is a place,
which I think it's a national chain. And if you can hear my
voice in Detroit area, find thisplace. It's called Pete Away. It's
about to open on it like atholl And Hide and Reich Pete Away.

(01:27:58):
Yes, okay, it is.It is like it's it's it's you pick
what kind you want white, whiteor dark meat, and then what do
you want on it? Like Igot one the other day. They had
the chicken, I had hummus.I had to booley, that's all I
want. But you can get thegarlic sauce. You can get It's it's
like it is like Mediterranean. It'spotely And it was like I finished it.

(01:28:20):
I was like, I'm want anotherone like that. Shit was like
and I'm I'm I'm a card carryingbrown person and I'm telling you, okay.
I counter yours with Lala's Lebanese Kitchenright up the road. Now,
No, just because nope, justbecause of the menu. Have you been
to Lala's. Yeah, there ain'tno Lebanese. It's not a full Lebanese

(01:28:43):
menu. Seriously, can't get Kibbythere. Get the fuck out of here
with with his parents back there whodon't speak hardly any English. There's no
fucking I'm gonna open up the menuright now, at least the one that
is accessible to grub Hub. It'sokay, it's called it's called what kibbi
kild be nice or just kidd orjust kibbie in general. Let me get
the bake shit. Because we wentto a place today, Ice Express if

(01:29:06):
they got a little one at twentythree, and yeah, you can only
get the bake stuff in there,but that's fine, which it's called.
Yeah, yeah, Leela's Lebanese Kitchen. I've never ordered to grub Hub or
whatever through there. So look atthe store menu. If they got one
like a website, Okay, theygot kibbie balls, but the tatziki right

(01:29:29):
there, that's Greek. No Iknow that much. Yeah, but that's
to me that that's not a slightagainst the rest of their fucking Lebanese menu.
That's just carrying what your customers want. I know plenty of places in
New York that like, they hadsigns up that they would be offended if
you asked for ranch with their fuckingwings because all they served is all they

(01:29:49):
wanted to serve is blue cheese.But they would give you ranch if you
asked for it, but they don't. You know what I'm saying. The
other mark of a Lebanese restaurant.Do they serve green beans and lands.
It's called lubia for the brown peopleout there, green beans and lam Yeah,
but they'll just call it green beansand lamb. What's the what's okay?
But what's the red sauce? Andit's over rice and it's fucking delicious

(01:30:15):
red sauce? What is okay?Like what tomato based red sauce? Like
the typical red sauce you'll get itArabic restaurant, I know, But like
is it spicy? Is it garlic? Is it sweet? The red sauce
that comes on like fucking the ricewhen you get a shish kabab that type
okay? Got yeah? Okay?Which, by the way, that's the
other thing. Schwarma is Greek.Don't whitey, You've forced it in to

(01:30:36):
all of the Lebanese restaurants. Motherfucker. I just found this ship when I
moved out here. So I wastelling my buddy today, and I was
raised around Arabic people. I didnot know what swarma was till I was
a teenager on top of that,I'm Irish, and with all the shit
going on in Ireland right now,I'm finding out that apparently now i'm white

(01:30:58):
because I'm of Irish, now thatI'm considered white. But I can tell
you this, five years ago,there was plenty of people in in uhh
that were British that would have saidno, no, no, no,
no, Irish aren't white. Andit's like, how much more fucking white
do we have to be? You'renot white enough? Yeah? Actually no
correction, Schwarma is Turkish. Okay, Look here here's the deal. Y'all

(01:31:19):
motherfuckers all look the same, allhave the same access. Oh yeah,
yeah here, I'm gonna say somethingthe same to you. Yeah, I'll
bring us up at the meeting.Yeah, if you see a bunch of
redheaded motherfuckers, pale with freckles,you're gonna be like, oh, look
at those fucking Middle Eastern people.Now you'll be like, look at these
fucking mixed They probably smell like afucking brewery. Why my friend today asked

(01:31:40):
me, he wasn't fucking around.He's like, can you go into Arabic
restaurant and be like, is therelike a some kind of coach, you
can be like, give me thegood ship, clean food. Yeah,
I was fucking with he's I'm like, no, like, we don't have
a fucking handshake. I'm like,the white people, no, so what.
And by the way, the whitepeople you have a handshake, known
this person a long time. Here'shere's the thing I would say. The

(01:32:02):
white people that do have the handshake, they let you know that they're in
that club, that secret club.They let you know very quickly they're in
that club. Like I've met afew card carrying members of the Klan in
my fucking travels, and they arevery quick to tell you about a club
that they're not supposed to tell anyonethey're in. It's it's funny. It's
like meetings so called mafia members.Boy, they're really quick tell you they're

(01:32:24):
into mafia. I'm like, youknow what, don't murder means right,
that means silence. That's yeah,well, fucker, that's why there's no
such thing as a gangster rapper.Yeah, first code being a gangster silence
first, God to being a rapper. You talk too damn much exactly.
Speaking of talking too much, whatwere we talking about anyway? Eric?
Okay, fine, you want adog on that? All right? Cool?

(01:32:45):
I don't know what to fucking tall. You see, here's the thing.
You just want me to go tothe places that you say are good
and be like this is great,and that's fine because I've tried out places,
but I don't I cannot detect thedifference. I don't have to ask
me like what should I look for? I don't have the fucking developed palette.
I guess look, fine, herehere's the to know the difference between
good and bad. Because I'm tasting, I'm like, it's all good.

(01:33:06):
So what am I supposed to thinkthe same? You know? Just use
the same rule with Mexican restaurants.If you see a white person in the
kitchen, get the fuck out ofthere. That's the rule I've been using
every place I go. English isa second language unless it's their grandchildren.
If this white person's like, checkout, my hummus, leave dude.
I think I've walked into one placeand it was like I expected it to

(01:33:27):
be like super white, and therewas a white hostess. But then when
they come back from the everyone whowas fucking speaking whatever the fuck they speak,
and I was like, oh,she's somebody's niece, somebody. Yeah,
somebody left the go yeah, togo get themselves a fucking male monkey
and fucking pro created. So yeah, that's how that happened. But no,
I know the dude, it's justlike when you live in the hood.

(01:33:49):
You know where you go for Chinesewood in the hood where all the
black people go. And by theway, people are like, what you're
talking about the hood? It's onlyblack people, motherfucker. You ain't been
poor in my parts of the countrybecause there's a lot of white people in
the hood too. Don't go tothe Chinese restaurants. It's all white people
people. I went to food trucksout west. If I had my Spanish,
ability was tested if it turned intorole reversal and I had to point,

(01:34:13):
that's go there, yes, uhcarne. Yeah, I just the
Cuban that worked, and that workedaround Miami, the Cuban sandwich that worked
perfectly every time. Ok, Sodamn it, I don't know extra.
I guess I'm getting regular cheese.It's more. Well, I mean I

(01:34:39):
thought grande was size. Yeah,being large, what it could mean large
large cheese? Please? Well,I mean they would get the point.
More cheese mucho mucho much o keesoM. Yeah, but then they're gonna
be like how much and you can't. You got to be able to you'd
have to say grande, right,because it just a medium. You got

(01:35:00):
to know altars. So that's stopped. Okay. It's funny because literally,
uh no Spanish. This is alljust picked up from traveling to New York
and out west and living in Florida, and half of fucking people once you
get south of like Orlando, halfthe people speak Spanglish. So you just

(01:35:24):
learn certain words because they say themand they even though they're in Spanish,
they're saying them in the context asif they were saying them in English.
And it's like, oh, soyou learn that. That's how I learned
shit, But I can. Thishappened the other day. I was at
work and I was out and aboutand I hear two people talking in Spanish
and I'm like, I'm just sittingthere waiting, and I'm like, wow,

(01:35:45):
I can almost. I can fuckI can kind of follow this conversation.
Like I can't get I'm not evengetting fifty percent of the words,
but I can tell you that thetopics they're talking about, you know,
what I'm saying, I can halfass read it, But if I get
two people going back and forth,it depends how fast are you got no
idea, It depends how fast we'retalking. There's because there's another thing.
If you talk to people who don'tspeak English as a first language, US

(01:36:09):
Northerners give them more problems than Southerners, even with Southern accents, because Southerners
on average speak slower unless you comefrom like a major metropolitan area down south,
like Atlanta, maybe Nashville, youknow those type areas who know carne.
So I guess you gotta go outsouthwest to find the slow speaking Mexicans

(01:36:30):
because that's like more of the cultureout there is a little bit more laid
by, like nomber order. Soa lot of them are just taught to
say one ready like and then youask. The way you knew is if
you ask them another question, you'dget one ready shaking the head and they

(01:36:53):
just repeat one. Going to goback to what I know, pizza the
well. Yeah, had a hada person that I had to deal with
at work who had an accent Icouldn't place, and it was kicking my
ass because growing up in well,whatever, we keep it pretty local most
of the time. I can't evensay this is our local show for the

(01:37:13):
year, this is our local showfor the month. I guess growing up
in Metro Detroit you kind of getused to a couple different accents at a
fairly young age, like I gotused to like I developed an ear for
Middle Eastern accents. I say,because I lived in Florida, but apparently
because we have Mexican village in southwestDetroit, you can develop an ear for
fucking different dialects. I don't reallyhave an ear for the northern dialect of

(01:37:38):
Spanish. I have more of asouthern US swhich would be more Cuban and
like Puerto Rican influence. But thisaccent I couldn't place. And then this
person said one word and I waslike, I think I just she said
Ranch, but she said it Rushand I was like, that's France.
That France, that's French. I'mlike, I can't reckon as a French

(01:38:00):
accent. How many fucking movies havewe watched their lives where there's a French
accent fall and I can't one inreal life. I'm like, I was
literally looking at her. I thoughtshe had a speech impediment and English was
like her fourth language. No,she's just French. Just you're never a
Celine beyond fan. Huh No,what was the French Canadian? And I'm

(01:38:23):
not even a bit. Yeah,I wasn't a Patrick wa fan. I
didn't care what the I didn't carewhat he for French she had to say
about anything, because he was,you know, fuck him, Patrick Waugh.
But you know, and I'm nota Canadians fan because I'm an old
enough hockey fan to know that theCanadians are truly the Yankees of the NHL.
Anyone who says it's the Red Wings, you can tell they don't know

(01:38:43):
jack shit about NHL history. Thirtyyears ago they were oh they were only
that they were the they bought thatO two ring, But how the fuck
were they the Yankees? NHL changedthe salary like come on, yeah,
after the Avalanche did in two thousand, excuse me, after the Devils did
in two thousand, the Avalanche oftwo thousand and one, and the fucking
Red Wings in two thousand and two, and they were like, okay,

(01:39:04):
literally, the team who's spending themost is winning the cup. Stop buying
your cups, ye people, no, that I fully admit. But what
I'm saying is you look at whatis it, twenty seven cups the Canadians
have, Oh yeah, yeah,if you look at trus I remember being
in fifth grade like for some reason, I was really into hockey that year
and looking up like who's like justlooking up the history of the n shit

(01:39:25):
and at the beginning, it's justCanadians, just for years far and there
was only six fucking teams too,and the Red Wings. Yet they had
more than what they had, morethan the Bruins, and they had more
than they had more in Boston andNew York. I think that's it everybody
else, no Chicago anymore. Theywere the best American team. But what
still point is I forgot why Iwas making the point about that. I

(01:39:49):
think there was like, what wasn'tthere like a decade where it was just
like the Canadians won the Cup.Wasn't there like ten straight years? It
was just Canadians And that's what theThat's that's what the Yankees did. See,
That's what I'm saying. If youknow Yankee history, people are going
off of Yankee dominance. Most peoplethink of Yankee dominance, they think of
the twenties and thirties Yankees. Theythink of the the Mickey Mantle era Yankees,

(01:40:15):
But I mean outside of the eighties, the Yankees were winning World Series
in every fucking decade, you knowwhat I'm saying. And outside of recent
NHL history, the Canadians were dominatingin every fucking decade. When I first
came on line the baseball in themid eighties and I was the kid,
Yeah, the Yankees were a fuckingjoke. They had Don Mattingly that was

(01:40:36):
their fucking All Star. They wereperennial All Star and they were like maybe
I think they sniffed the playoffs andgot in a few times maybe in the
eighties. I think no, actually, I think it's a thing that Mattingly
only had one playoff series and thenthen they picked it up in the nineties
and then we all know how thatwent after that. Yeah, but whatever

(01:40:57):
baseball sports was just uh that's anotherthing. By the way, we don't
do a sports podcast, but ourbest chance to talk any type of sports
shit is right now while Jess isn'ton the show. Dude, there's some
fucking bending over backwards going on inthe NHL to accommodate online betting, and
I'm just like, okay, whatdo you mean, like like guys not

(01:41:18):
scoring goals when they could? No, no, no, no, I'm
talking about like the NHL like cozyingup to online betting. Oh, all
Sports to finally, Like ten yearsago, the NFL was like shame,
shame with DraftKings and all that.Now DraftKings sponsors, now they got it,
Like they're the official uh betting partnerof the NFL. Like, yeah,

(01:41:39):
All Sports has finally just said,I guess the NHL is hedging no
pun intended, hedging its bets thatthis will increase their viewership because they're so
desperate, and it's like, Idon't. Oh, it's true. You
want you want a game to matterthat don't matter to anybody bet on it?
Oh no, absolutely, dude,that's yes. That's why I has

(01:42:01):
been a couple of turd like Thursdaynight games this year where I've built a
parlay that is like, well,the only reason I'm watching this game is
because I got fucking I'm trying towin ten bucks. I had to apologize
my ex wife the new husband forintroducing her to fantasy football. Oh you
ready for the matchup. Yes,it's yeah a player. This week we're

(01:42:25):
going to test my theory because Ilost the last fucking season. If I
had went undefeated in the season,I had lost in the first round that
I had to play in the playoffs. I maintained that. Now that I
lost in the regular season, I'mrunning the table through the playoffs. Now
everyone's clus, didn't you finish elevenand one to the l stoutman in peril

(01:42:45):
Stout? Oh she can be herguy, I think. So you lost
to a worthy foe, someone who'strying. Yeah, yeah, I didn't.
I didn't. It wasn't But likemy thank god my bye week was
last week because I wouldn't have beatanybody in the playoffs. I my team
scored low for the entires. Noone gives a fuck about this fantas Football
League SCEP for the nine people thatare in it. Anyway, I didn't

(01:43:08):
take any consent that what the NHLis or isn't doing. I guess that
is immaterial now that you're saying it, Like especially football, and then in
the NHL, the NFL buddying upto online betting, then it's it's pretty
fucking ubiquitous. At this point,it's just it's it's and it's acceptable.
But this is one of the gamblingproblems, and they think we don't know

(01:43:30):
it. Oh yeah, it's it'severywhere. This is one of those things
that's like I'm talking just about fromthe integrity of the sport, like it
was, Oh, we won't cozyup with gambling. That's exactly what's gonna
happen if we start, if welike basically legalize the criminalizer, loosen the
fucking strings and the regulations on gambling, especially online gambling. No, no,
no, it won't happen. Ithasn't even been five years. It's

(01:43:53):
already happened. Remember when casinos cameto Detroit, it was gonna be Sodom
and Gomora and it was gonna bethe downfall. And what twenty years into
them all spend is like another sourcefor jobs. Like I guess my point
is is that, Yeah, butI know a handful of people personally.
Their famili has been pretty fucking devastated. Those families have been devastated by family

(01:44:14):
members going to those casinos and justfucking parking their ass and staying there for
fucking twelve hours and walking out likewell, I don't own my home anymore,
and I'm like, how the fuckdoes that happen. The argument in
our area could be, well,they would have just went and did it
at Windsor, which is the argument. It was the most cynical, like,
well, let's at least they givethe tax base to Detroit instead of
Windsor. And it was like,wow, that's a mask off moment is

(01:44:36):
and it's like, we don't givea fuck about our citizens. We just
need that tax money. That's allyou care about. But I don't know.
I just to me, we're talkingabout the city of Detroit giving a
fuck about their citizens. That chipsailed way before. To me, the
professional sports leagues buddying up like thisjust screams you're removing any semblance of integrity

(01:44:57):
you have. The first time thepeak behind the curtain reveals that there's oh,
well we moved this game to thisdate or made it you know,
blah blah blah, and it's likewe did it for these reasons, but
really, when it comes out,when a thirty for thirty comes out in
ten years, it was because well, you know, someone from Draft Kings
or some other fucking group paid somebodyhere and they're like, Okay, well

(01:45:20):
yeah, and we're gonna get this. We're gonna get this, not necessarily
game fixing, but the way towork around it everything. But basically the
dude who can't find the click butsucks and licks everything around it is what
they're going to become. And that'sexactly what I think's gonna happen. Oh,
there was already a game this yearwith a field goal at the end.

(01:45:41):
Oh it was uh, there wasenough time left, like the team
was winning, they didn't need tokick. All they really had to do
was Neil, and they kicked anyways, and a lot of people went because
what that kick did was it fuckingmoved the fucking line. A lot of
people were like, uh, mostsituations, most teams would just fucking Neil.

(01:46:02):
You had like twenty seconds left,you were winning. Now it was
a rivalry game like it was.It was like Michigan versus Ohio State.
It's just what he said, whydid you go for two because I couldn't
go for three? No, itwas some bullshit game, non division.
Yeah, that's what makes it.See but that cast that suspicious light on
it, and why directly because ofthem Cozy and up to this shit.

(01:46:26):
So why why did you look atme like I was crazy? When I
initially said it. You just provedmy point for me. I look at
you like you're crazy. Okay,well, maybe I don't know your looks
all that Well, we don't podcastin the same room as much anymore.
But I was like, why ishe looking at me like I just grew
a third fucking head. Now Ithink there's more. I think it's more
going to open the door to pointshaving, to shit like that. I

(01:46:48):
think it's gonna open more to players. I think maybe getting a little on
the side for the argument with payingthe college athletes was make him less susceptible
to this, because who the fuckis gonna target the guy who's fucking warming
the bench and he's the he's thehuman victory cigar nobody. So if that
guy doesn't get money through college sports, it doesn't matter because nobody can pay

(01:47:13):
him off to because he can't affectthe game anyways. But point shaving,
I think is more probably more likelysomething you're going to see at the college
level because there's just some contracts inthe NBA. If you can make a
difference, you're making huge amount ofmoney. I don't know that you have
to fucking take money from an organizedcrime group. No, I'm talking like

(01:47:34):
draft Kings coming to the player likehey make oh draft Kings basically acting like
the mafia, like hey make sureyou don't beat the spread tonight or some
shit like that. Gotcha, Wellwe'll make it. Yeah. You can't
compete with like dambling money that shit. That dude, that's why do you

(01:47:54):
think Uh fucking Cuban just sold offhis stake in the Mavericks. He's leaving
Shark Tank and all this. He'sselling off all of ship because the rumor
is there's a casino coming to Dallasand he's one of the fucking he's he's
going to next level rich. Like, dude. That's like I think politicians
try to get into that. That'sbetter than taxpayer money. That's money that

(01:48:15):
never fucking ends. That's money thatcan like this is we've seen with our
federal government. Eventually that runs outand you got to pass spending bills and
all that. Casinos that's it's likeonly a bank. Casinos are just one
of those things. I guess becauseI if I'm going to spend my money
on a vice There's never been ahigh from winning a bet that has made

(01:48:39):
me feel better than the cheapest trunkI've ever put to time. So I
rather spend my money on booze.And that's why I never developed In the
recently come to to the realization Iam too analytical to go to a casino
because once you actually sit down doingrigged, Yeah, well no, because

(01:49:00):
I also possess the wherewithal like ifjust I just know this from years and
years of going to Vegas and stuff, like if you win back more than
twenty five percent of your bet,you have beat the odds. Stop like
I can put down ten dollars,win fucking four and go. I just

(01:49:21):
won forty percent of my investment peace, Like I'm the casino isn't for me.
It's for the people who can't control, that can't get up, yeah,
or the people who are like myex wife, who are just I
don't know how she does this.But I had tickets for opening day and
my uncle was in town unexpectedly andhe was I was like, well,

(01:49:44):
I have tickets for opening day forthe Tigers. Me and your wife are
gonna go. You and I cango. I know she'll be more unhappy
to visit one of the city's casinos, and she was like, okay,
so I'm gonna go. Your unclesaid he's buying the drinks, which I'm
about to sho you how much Iused to drink. She had budgeted five
hundred for us to drink at openingday, and when I say us,

(01:50:06):
that was basically impressive. That wasmostly me probably about and by the way
I tip, well, you knowwhat I'm saying, like, so you
know, like if you bring likeif you're at the stands opening day and
the beer guy, like, I'mgonna want the beer guy to remember me.
So he's getting a ten dollars tipon the first fucking drink and a
five dollar tip every drink after that. Just make sure I'm never raising an

(01:50:30):
empty drink and we're good. Sobut she was like, your uncle said
he's gonna pay and since he doesn'tunderstand what he just basically has to refinance
his house. Now I'm gonna takethe five hundred we had and I'm gonna
take it to the casino. AndI was like, all right, here's
the rule. Don't lose more thanfive hundred. She's like, okay,
worked that with like fifteen hundred openingday, two thousand and five. However
long that game was, that's howlong it took her to do it.

(01:50:51):
And I was like, how thefuck cards? That's all she had?
Machines. I'm gonna leave. No, no, yeah, no, and
I have Uh. My sister haslived in Vegas pretty much most of her
life and for a good chunk ofher adult life, and she's told me
that slot machines are just keep feedingit and eventually it'll hit. It's set

(01:51:14):
to hit at a certain amount,and it's it can be random, it
can be changed, and it's literallyjust you're sitting there feeding it and you're
hoping when it hits, you hitfor more than you've put in. That's
it. And that's why these oldwomen get pissed if they get up to
move or do something and someone sitsdown in the machine, like I've been
working that machine. Fuck the fuckoff. You know it can hit in
any second. No. When Idid do slot machines, what we do

(01:51:36):
We sit there and watch for somebodywho sat there and didn't win. As
soon as they got up, let'sgo play that one. Yeah, rush
bum rushing machine. Yeah. SoI mean, but I never like I
never It's like, it's like blackmetal. I never listened to black metal
growing up. It seemed kind ofsilly. I'm not a big fan of
the high pitch singing that's in alot of black metal, but through off

(01:51:59):
john musical genres that are offshoots ofblack metal, I've developed an ear for
black metal to where I can listento black metal even though I don't really
care for it. I can tellyou what is considered good and bad black
metal, so you know what I'msaying, Like you developed an ear for
shit, even if you don't.I never developed anything for gambling, Like
I don't have any type of feelor sense for and people talk about it.
I'm like, I don't know whatany of that means, and I

(01:52:20):
don't care it just to me,it just sounds like a really complicated way
to hand over my money to somebody. Mm hm. And if I'm gonna
hand over my money, I wantto. I want to how you're drunk.
And poker has nothing to do withthe cards. Well it was a
little bit to do with the cards, but poker, it's all about how
good you are reading people. Imean, that's the thing. Like it's

(01:52:40):
it's it's how you calibrate your instinctof this motherfucker's lying to me like,
it's just poker to me, justI don't know. Once again, it's
like people are like, it's askill, and I'm like, what to
play cards you're dealt No, Idon't think that's a skill. Once you
know that, once you know theodds, and once you can calculate the
odds, that's at the skill.Yeah, the skill is what you just

(01:53:02):
said, reading people, that's theskill. But that's why I don't dot
poker. Just backs up the shityou talk. That's what I'm saying,
Like, that's why I don't playpoker, because what is the rule if
you sit down at the poker tableand you can't identify the sucker suckers,
you motherfucker. Don't try to sellme that shit that like, oh,
how I play poker, it's ait's a skill knowing what to do with
the cards. No, it's justknowing the fucking odds. Your skill is

(01:53:25):
lying and being able to read peopleand pick up on bullshit. That's your
fucking skill. And since you're lyingto me about what your skill is,
you're trying to set me up toget me to play, so you can
fucking take me to the cleaners,because I'd be the sucker on the table.
It's no one to come hard andnot one to come hard, and
no one when another person's talking thatshit, and I'm not good at that
because I'm not gonna talk shit ifI can't back it up. Well.
The best is when you're staring attwo waces, no cards are flipped over

(01:53:50):
yet, and you got somebody allright, motherfucker, I have the statistical
best hand. Okay, cool,that's the best feeling. That's when you
know they're talking shit like I havethe best two cards you can get right
now, go ahead, fair enough? Yeah, like I said to me,

(01:54:10):
don't me wrong. I'm not sayingthat like I'm one of those people
that like, you should have novices. But my choice advice was something
that was gonna get me into analtered state versus woo. I won.
Now let me give it right backon the next bet. That makes no
sense to me. Now. Thethe the motherfucker that is poker is that
could be I could be holding twotwo's and just trying to bluff you,

(01:54:31):
and then the flop comes out andthe deuce deuce ace right, So then
now you're big dicking it because yougot I got three aces. You don't
know he's sitting on four two's,right, you just think like, oh
he's he oh he got he's gota two. How cute? We got
two three of a kinds going ateach other. And then yeah, yeah,
keep coming, motherfucker. You knownone of that sounds appealing. Yeah,

(01:54:54):
and then like yeah, bitch,three aces and he's got I got
four two's, And then you're like, I want to stab right now.
See here's another thing. The Xwas good at. She would she joined
a couple poker tournaments after we splitup and did well, like finished in
the money a few times. Sure, But I mean, dude, did

(01:55:15):
you ever see my ex wife?Like, for as long as we known
each other, we really didn't hangout when I was with when I was
with with with my ex wife,But my ex wife dressed like an old
Russian woman when she wasn't at work, you know what I'm saying, Or
we weren't going out. So butI bet you she played cards. She
was wearing something. I've dropped herat casino awe and she's been like,
I played cards and I played pokerand blah blah blah blah, and I

(01:55:38):
made money. And I'm like,you ain't dressed like she ain't looking like
Jennifer Tilly at World Poker all whateverthe I mean, I get what you're
saying, but titties are titties coveredor not. Dudes are dudes, Yeah,
but when you're fucking there's money.I'm telling you, dude, this
is what I'm saying. You take, you get, you get on one
thing, and it's like, Okay, there's one dude out of one hundred
who's going to be so distracted bytitties that she could take them to the

(01:56:00):
cleaners. Rest of those dudes thatare paying money to be in that tournament
are not going to be distracted bytitties. Dude. That's like you saying
you're gonna be distracted by someone shyholding up a lighter in the crowd when
you're playing guitar on stage. Oh, she's got a batter eyes, that's
all she's got to do that.When you're a female, I would love
to be female poker playoffs so muchgood. I'm telling you, dude,
there's a difference between people that arethere to do it to make money and

(01:56:21):
they don't give a fuck who elseat the table, and even tho the
ship with the ship with my ex. I can guarantee you this. She
was sitting down at the table withserious players because I do it. Was
all she had to do to winwas batdter eyes and put her titties together.
This is how fucked up this womanis. She don't want to win
like that. She wants to beatthem, and she wants to beat the

(01:56:42):
best, and she wants to Ifthe best is five gay guys who are
not interested what's between her legs orin her bra, the better she wants
to beat that. Send the queereye guys in. I'm beating all of
them. I gets the whole point. What I'm mean, you can't outrun
biology. I got what you're saying. But like this, look, motherfucker,
there's a vein in your dick.Still. I'm just saying, this
is my ex wife and you didn'tknow her like that. Like she hates

(01:57:04):
to lose more than she loves towin. She's that person. Oh one
of those yes Monica. We usedto joke she was Monica from friends that
they can't lose, get violent,over it, dude. The only thing
I could whoop her ass at.I don't understand that joke. You're not
a friends. That's why I that'swhy I'm pivoting, or I tried to

(01:57:24):
without fucking addressing that I made afriend's reference that you didn't get. The
only two things I could whoop herass at on the regular I'd whoop her
ass at Monopoly to the point whereit would it would end like you'd see
a Monopoly game like fuck you.The board flips. I quit googling divorce
lawyers. Yeah, oh absolutely,I'm not even joking, dude. And
then it was probably sixty forty ifwe played Yachtzi. I could beat her

(01:57:47):
at yachtsa. But I think shetook those losses a lot easier because that
is literally just a game of chance, because you're throwing dice and going,
what can I write down that Ineed? That's it? So anything else,
dude. When she was a Lionsfan, by the way, typical
woman. Why I'm a Lions fan. This is when Steve mary Ucci got
the head coaching job. He's cute. I'm a Lions fan. Now get

(01:58:11):
the fuck out of here. Whateverhe's got them baby blues. Ye,
and I mean as I got herinterested in me, which you know,
hey, it got me ten yearsof fun. What can I fucking say
about it? But anyways, whenthe Lions would do what the Lions always
did back then, especially back then, dude, I felt like a battered
husband, Like she would start throwingshit. I'm like, this is what

(01:58:31):
she told me, Like, youhave to stop drinking hard liquor because you
get this violent about shit when itgoes wrong in a hockey game you're invested
in. Bit, you got tostop watching the Lions because you're fucking violent
when they lose it. And that'sall the fuck they do in the mid
two thousands, you know what I'msaying, running out of speckle, Like
seriously, so yes, that thattype of person that I don't want to

(01:58:56):
see. I playing poker with thosetype people is my worst fear, because
they're gonna see me and be like, have a seat, we're gonna take
it easy on you, We'll justplay, don't worry, and it's like,
no, motherfucker, this is howevery prison rape starts. I've seen
enough of these fucking movies. Nono means no. All right, Well
are we gonna wrap it up becausewe're ending. We're literally comparing prison Rape

(01:59:16):
to sitting down at a table withpeople who don't have tells. I guess
good good Win in the holiday showprison Rape. Uh. I just want
to say, it's funny thinking backto the first Christmas show we did,
because it was me, you,Aaron, and Jay and like we actually

Christmas Special and watched part of it. And now it's like it's Christmas.
Here's a lack of daisical attempt ata Christmas topic. Okay, anyway,
so let's talk about the ship wewill. We don't give a fox Christmas?
Who cares? Hey, well,we're gen x right. Well I
almost feel it's also because we're notreligious, and like for our family,

taking part in them. Right.My Christmas tradition is I go to my
mom's house on Christmas Day. Theend, I was telling someone on Saturday,

like four days. Fuck it,I'm not hanging them up. I'll tell
you something. We're done. Let'swrap this up all right. At gen
