called the Four Corners Rally, and Law Tigers is usually
represented quite nicely there.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, they call it the four Tiger Corners Rally because
they have a woman an escort on each corner of
an intersection and they all take turns competing for your attention.
No idea today. In sixteen sixty six, eighty percent of
London was destroyed in a fire. It burned for four days.
That was the devil right there, six six six on
the calendar.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And they hadn't invented water yet, so they were who
knew water could put out a fire?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Today? In seventeen eighty nine, Congress founded the US Treasury Department.
And today. In eighteen sixty four, General Sherman captured and
occupied Atlanta, had a boo.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Sherman and damn rude ash Yankee.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I don't know, you could probably boo Atlanta. Have you
ever been there?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, you know, maybe there was a reason. He Al
said it on far I like Bucket, I don't like
Atlanta morp Field.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Today.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
In nineteen oh one, Teddy Roosevelt's National Duties speech in
National he said, speak softly and carry a big stick.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
That's what I've always done. I'm known for that, for
your big stick. Yeah, my big stick and my soft speaking.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Today, in nineteen thirty the first NonStop flight from Europe
to Los Americanos. It only took.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Thirty seven hours before that happened. They used to have
a stop in the middle of the of the flight.
There they where was that? Yeah, in the middle it
stopped up, slow down, Yeah, out in the middle of
the ocean. Today, in nineteen forty five, Vietnam declared its
independence from France. What else happened on this date in
forty five? Who knows? Nobody knows, No, it's a mystery.
The Japanese surrendered, Is that right? Officially ending World War two,
(06:54):
America's favorite war, as we always know, ushering in a
new era of extreme sectional devians to the island nation
of Japan. So yeah, they have, and this was well
after we had dropped two nukes on them. And now
they finally on September second, got around to going all right.
They don't like to quit. They don't like to give up.
(07:16):
It's just not in their nature.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Every think about how weird that is the thing with
the Vietnamese, because uh, France had been occupied by the Germans,
right but during all that going on right there, even
though the French were controlled by Germany, they still controlled Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
They were trying but as we found out, a lot
of hard to control them in you think.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Do you think if Vietnam had found out about the
whole World War two thing that was going on, they
would have not They would have not cared about France
even being there. Probably today, in nineteen sixty nine, the
first ATM opened, excuse me, the first ATM machine opened
at a chemical bank in Rockville Center in New York
like a.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Hot water heater. Huh, the EtuM machine.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And today in nineteen eighty five, seventy three years after
it sank, the Titanic wreckage was found. And what did
they discovered? They discovered it was pretty wet. Yeah, yeah,
a lot. It was pretty much covered in water.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
That'll ruin the nice interior of a beautiful ship like that.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
And most of the people that I sunk down there
weren't even live anymore. Yeah, yeah, they only found a
few survivors thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Also nineteen ninety five, the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame opened up with a benefit concert featuring James Brown,
Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and Aretha Franklin, all the hard
rockin hers of rock and roll fame.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
But I like that Aretha Franklin, she was great and
she had a lot of friends in the music industry,
you know. Yeah, she had no a lot of different people.
She was friends with, people like, oh, I guess Marvin
Gay was your friend, and you know a lot of
prominent black people as well. Bill Cosby was a friend.
She was even friends with Al Sharpton. Did you guys
know that?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I did not know that, In the words of my
late friend, Aretha Franklin, shows some r eSPI, C. T.
Walton and Johnson Radio network.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Since I moved to the South, you know better. I
think it ends Thanksgiving Day weekends.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Let's go ahead and say Thanksgiving and still you're not
completely out of it. I can return any time.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I can remember several years ago, me and a woman
I no longer speak to, got all dressed up for
Halloween together. We both dressed as Day of the Dead skeletons,
and we went out to a Halloween party at night,
and we were very concerned that our makeup was going
to sweat off.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Was it late October? Yeah, I just guess October thirty first.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, it was exactly when you think it would be perfect.
And as we were hanging out, I remember thinking, Wow,
this is uh, you know, this is this is normal.
That's just going to be ninety degrees at night in
late October. I'm just gonna have to accept that. So
you're a weather, You're.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
A After you vacationed a burning man in the desert
for a week, you said you're more how did you
put it, more aware of the weather or you're more
impressed by the weather. Something about the weather has affected you.
I've never lived through so many short lived weather events
that were hyperbolically reported by the media as I did.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Lies. Right, We're hanging out at burning Man and all
of a sudden it gets dusty.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
So you're you're what you meant to say was you're
upset with not the weather, the weather reporting. Yeah, the
reporting of the weather. Will join the crowd. We're at
burning Man and it gets dusty. All it's a dust storm,
and the dust storm's real quick, and then there's a
torrential downpour. Twenty minutes later, it's all over.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
And an hour later any damage that it did to
the camp or the festival had been rebuilt. They put
the tents back up. It was over.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Like those little islands out in the Caribbean and the
folks that live in grass huts and stuff. After hurricane
blows soup, they just cut some you know, grab some
new palm fronds and build a new house. Right.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So this happened three or four times during the week,
and every time it happened, I'd look at my phone.
We were on the internet, nothing to do. We'd go
inside the cabin with camper while we waited for the
rain to pass by. Yeah, and I'd look at the
internet for forty minutes or whatever it was. And every
single time it was like it was reported like this.
It was like weather has ruined the Burning Man festival.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
That's it for the Burning Man It's over now.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
It's like, I don't think that's right. The other thing
I saw at burning Man that kind of blew my
mind is it's something that liberals love. It's what's the
word racial segregation?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Oh yeah, liberals love that.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I was at Burning Man with a friend I grew
up with who happens to be a brother, and so
he was invited to an all black camp.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
But he's stuck with you, so he can't go.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
No, they let me come with what. They even served
me breakfast. They were very nice to me, if you'll
have what'd you have for break I was like, eggs
and turkey sausage. It wasn't bad, you know, it isn't
better than nothing. You're out in the middle of the desert.
There's not any way to cook food unless you brought
something with you. And so we're hanging out and I
was part of the conversation and these oh bet you were.
The thing about burning Man is it's probably the whitest
place in America other than a handful of Asians and
(12:07):
black people. And you get what the non whites are.
Mostly it's white people, and I mean a lot of whites,
whites from all over the world. We'll get to that
in a minute. And as we're hanging out there, the
common topic of conversation among the black Burners that they
call themselves, would it be crackers.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, not the cracker barrel, but all crackers in general.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
It really really really annoys them that there are so
many white people around with dreadlocks.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And I, okay, yeah, the creepy looking, nasty, dirty haired people.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I didn't have the heart to tell them. And there's
historic books and record keeping that seems to suggest that
the Vikings also add dreadlocks.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Because I don't care. I'm not going to defend the
dreadlock people.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
What do I care.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's not your fight. No, no.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
But the thing that of all the things that I'll
remember for Burning Man twenty twenty five, is going to
be this the high number of times, frequent number of
times I came across and met and had an intimate
conversation with a young man of fighting age who was
either Israeli, Ukrainian or Russian.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
At Burning Man, all over.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
The place, really constantly camped next to us partying on Friday.
I like, just everywhere you went, you were meeting you
raresh Russian you. And every time I met one, I'd
say the same thing to him. You'd be like, Wow,
I'm I'm so glad you're here safe with us and
not fighting in that war back in your home country.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
And every time I said that to him, they'd all
look around at each other kind of nervously, because because
it's clear as day, why what's going on?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Are they not supposed to be here? They're dodging the
draft There should have been there. I mean, imagine if
everybody at Burning Burning had had stayed in Ukraine, I'd
probably have won this thing, right.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
And it's it's really would and it's Russians hanging out
with Ukrainians hanging I was like, you guys have a
war going on in your home country and you're here
doing molly and mushrooms together. I look, I don't care.
I'm not like a Ukrainian patriot or whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
But we did.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
We gave you guys hundreds of billions of dollars. At
least you could do is go home and fight in
the war.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, make an effort.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I got to pay for that, and you're not even there, right,
You're here wearing a faux fur coat, dancing to techno
in the desert. I know, I know, go home and
fight in the war, pussy.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Seriously, any run into any again of Stannies while you
were there?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Many of them, but not at the festival. I met
them in Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Oh what were they doing there?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Okay? Sacramento is the airport I flew into to get
in and out of the festival, and that is the
number one location in the United States of America for
Afghan refugees. Really, and I met no idea, and I
learned something from an Afghan refugee I never would have
thought I would have learned. Apparently the Taliban is okay.
Apparently apparently those Taliban guys are great guys.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Just a okay, stand up Joe's.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
According to my uber driver who picked me up at
the airport, he has traveled to Afghanistan since the American
occupation ended. Yeah, and tells me that it's actually quite
nice there.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Well, why is he here? The end? That was what
I wondered. Get on back, you'll get after a long.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Week of hanging out at Burning Man and having to
return all the stuff that I rented e bikes and
a generator and a camper and a giant truck. I
went to uber back to the airport, and then wouldn't
you know it, I met yet another Afghan refugee, another one,
and this one had the exact opposite thing to tell me.
Talaman no good. He explained to me that the Taliban
(15:34):
was terrible. He said that his sister was stuck in
Afghanistan and she's a doctor, and I thought, wow, they
must have stoned heard a death twelve times by He said, surprisingly, no,
she's one of the only female doctors in the country.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Does she get to be a doctor? Well, it was
before the h right, Yeah, So, although they won't let
women read books or get an education anymore, if you're
one of the few women that are around that are already.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
A doctor, they will allow you to be a doctor.
To women. Because of the whole Sharia thing, They're like, well,
someone's got to deliver all these babies were looking at
the naughty bit. So we don't but we don't want
any new female doctors. Okay, Now, if you were running
the country of Afghanistan, you're a Taliban general at arms
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Uh, huh.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
And your your position is only women doctors could treat
women patients, but no new women can become doctors.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I got a wonder.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Clock sticking on that little idea. What is the end
goal there? The reason I brought up afghanistanis in the
first place, and I had no idea about it. Afghanistan, Afghans, Afghans. Yeah,
I don't know. No, that's a shawl. The Taliban would
like your help, please. They're a bit of a bind
right now, and they would love it if you and
(16:46):
I would assist them with the natural disaster that has
just occurred.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Do they need my money?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yes, yes, all the help you can send to the Taliban.
Wrap it up in a bow. Get it over there.
They have had an earthquake in Afghanistan that has killed.
The death toll is over eight hundred and thousands more injured.
And of course they said, since entire villages were destroyed,
(17:14):
they're not through picking through the rubble yet. The death
toll bound to go up by quite a bit. I
was looking at them before and after pictures of the
situation over there, and I can't tell on some of
these which ones are the before.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I know, I thought the same thing. When I was
looking at those photos, it already looks like a dump.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
And then the dump collapsed.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Five hundred dead, one thousand injured.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh my god, they're up to five hundred already.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
And apparently they say that the damage was all done
in a very rural part of the country, which gone
far far away from Cobble. Yeah rural.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, it's near any of the big cities of Rubble,
this small rural Rubble.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Well, there's really just that one big city is Cobble.
But did you know that in Afghanistan there's a two
ethnic groups there, the Afghans and the Persians, and they
don't like each other.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I talked to Persians, was just what they called themselves,
so they wouldn't no use from Afghanistan.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
No, no, No. Persians is the descendants of Iranians that
are in the country. They've been there for generations at
this point, and they don't get along with the Afghan nationals.
And so that's a lot of what's apparently. That was
the group of people we aligned ourselves with when we
tried to fix Afghanistan for about twenty years.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
So when those two sides don't get along, do they
just send tersely worded emails back and forth. Do they
have shouting matches across the back fence or do they
take it to a whole new level.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
It's a great question. After I learned about the earthquake.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Blow each other up, I'm sure blowing each other there's
a lot of suicide bombing, that's one way to go.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I had also wondered what happened with all the military
aircraft we left in the country. Can't they use those
to rescue people from the earthquake?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I mean, I think they sold those off for food
and who are the sticks to burn?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Who they sell him through Pakistan?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Maybe maybe they gave him to North Korea and North
Korea is helping out the Russians, so perhaps they're involved
in this Ukraine war.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Oh and speaking of Pakistan or is it Canada? Hard
to tell? Have you seen the video we just posted
to the Walton Johnson Instagram account.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I bet I hadn't seen it of.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Two Pakistani man and they're that's not a man that's
looking at boobs. No, that's a man and therese boobs.
They're wrestling each other in in Pakistan like a fat
woman or Canada. Who knows what it is. It's really
hard to tell. They wrestle each other in little panties
and the wrestling involves grabbing each other by their underwear
(19:41):
and pulling on it.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Now, didn't Hulk Hogan wear some similar wrestling tights when
when he wrestled? It's true, it is hard, but you
didn't say Hulk Hogan wrestled in patty Well.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I don't think they grabbed each other by their underpants
when he was wrestling, not that often. No, there is
something very homo ironic about this. And uh, but apparently
in Pakist this is like the national sport over there,
lay that guy with the man boobs do a carwheel.
That's incredible. How does he do it? I mean, that's
just amazing.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
There that's a D set, that's a that's a full
D right there on that old boy.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, he's got doubles, Yeah, big old natural ones. Yeah.
I wonder what. I wonder what he paid his plastic
surgeon for those I.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Am going to donate to afghanistanis.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
With aidspe mind, you mean the aid to Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (20:25):

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Her name's dancing.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
She says, her name is Tina. I'm just gonna climb
out on. I'm good. I guess it's probably not her
real name. And Tina has an Instagram account where she
sells auto parts in a factory, and you've got to
admit that is one clean factory. Who is cleaning that factory?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I don't think it's Tina. No, defin do you think
it's twelve year olds? Well, if they're that old.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, it's a big, big day. And if it's your birthday,
darn should have become a celebrity so I would have
mentioned you. It is also a telephone. Tuesday watch doesn't
have anything to do with your birthdays. It's just the
top day for phone calls all year. This day, the
day after Labor Day. Why, I saw a lot of
(01:17):
people had things they needed to get done and then
they couldn't call anybody because it was a holiday.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
More so than Memorial Dad Veteran's dead.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I don't know why, but that's how it is.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I'm not buying it today.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Celebrity birthdays include the guy that played Franklin in Snowfall.
If you're between shows looking for something to watch, I
could recommend Snowfall to you. It's been around a few years,
but it's really good. Damson Indriests is his name. He's
now thirty four years old. Amy Osborne, who was Ozzie's
(01:49):

There's bad mytery loll Tiger. As a matter of fact,
I don't know if you were aware of this, but
Law Tigers looks out for motorcycle riders and they have
big rallies and promotions and all kinds of fun an
excitement for motorcycle riding.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Sounds like a good time riding on motorcycles. Go to
law Tigers dot com or one hundred low Tigers today.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You know the area where we like to go skiing
occasionally up around duringo They have a motorcycle rally every year.
They at Labor Day weekend. They just had it. It's
called the Four Corners Rally, and Law Tigers is usually
represented quite nicely there.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, they call it the four Tiger Corners Rally because
they have a woman an escort on each corner of
an intersection and they all take turns competing for your attention.
No idea today. In sixteen sixty six, eighty percent of
London was destroyed in a fire. It burned for four days.
That was the devil right there, six six six on
the calendar.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And they hadn't invented water yet, so they were who
knew water could put out a fire?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Today? In seventeen eighty nine, Congress founded the US Treasury Department.
And today. In eighteen sixty four, General Sherman captured and
occupied Atlanta, had a boo.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Sherman and damn rude ash Yankee.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I don't know, you could probably boo Atlanta. Have you
ever been there?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, you know, maybe there was a reason. He Al
said it on far I like Bucket, I don't like
Atlanta morp Field.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Today.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
In nineteen oh one, Teddy Roosevelt's National Duties speech in
National he said, speak softly and carry a big stick.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
That's what I've always done. I'm known for that, for
your big stick. Yeah, my big stick and my soft speaking.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Today, in nineteen thirty the first NonStop flight from Europe
to Los Americanos. It only took.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Thirty seven hours before that happened. They used to have
a stop in the middle of the of the flight.
There they where was that? Yeah, in the middle it
stopped up, slow down, Yeah, out in the middle of
the ocean. Today, in nineteen forty five, Vietnam declared its
independence from France. What else happened on this date in
forty five? Who knows? Nobody knows, No, it's a mystery.
The Japanese surrendered, Is that right? Officially ending World War two,
(06:54):
America's favorite war, as we always know, ushering in a
new era of extreme sectional devians to the island nation
of Japan. So yeah, they have, and this was well
after we had dropped two nukes on them. And now
they finally on September second, got around to going all right.
They don't like to quit. They don't like to give up.
(07:16):
It's just not in their nature.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Every think about how weird that is the thing with
the Vietnamese, because uh, France had been occupied by the Germans,
right but during all that going on right there, even
though the French were controlled by Germany, they still controlled Vietnam.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
They were trying but as we found out, a lot
of hard to control them in you think.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Do you think if Vietnam had found out about the
whole World War two thing that was going on, they
would have not They would have not cared about France
even being there. Probably today, in nineteen sixty nine, the
first ATM opened, excuse me, the first ATM machine opened
at a chemical bank in Rockville Center in New York
like a.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Hot water heater. Huh, the EtuM machine.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And today in nineteen eighty five, seventy three years after
it sank, the Titanic wreckage was found. And what did
they discovered? They discovered it was pretty wet. Yeah, yeah,
a lot. It was pretty much covered in water.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
That'll ruin the nice interior of a beautiful ship like that.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
And most of the people that I sunk down there
weren't even live anymore. Yeah, yeah, they only found a
few survivors thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Also nineteen ninety five, the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame opened up with a benefit concert featuring James Brown,
Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and Aretha Franklin, all the hard
rockin hers of rock and roll fame.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
But I like that Aretha Franklin, she was great and
she had a lot of friends in the music industry,
you know. Yeah, she had no a lot of different people.
She was friends with, people like, oh, I guess Marvin
Gay was your friend, and you know a lot of
prominent black people as well. Bill Cosby was a friend.
She was even friends with Al Sharpton. Did you guys
know that?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I did not know that, In the words of my
late friend, Aretha Franklin, shows some r eSPI, C. T.
Walton and Johnson Radio network.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Since I moved to the South, you know better. I
think it ends Thanksgiving Day weekends.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Let's go ahead and say Thanksgiving and still you're not
completely out of it. I can return any time.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I can remember several years ago, me and a woman
I no longer speak to, got all dressed up for
Halloween together. We both dressed as Day of the Dead skeletons,
and we went out to a Halloween party at night,
and we were very concerned that our makeup was going
to sweat off.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Was it late October? Yeah, I just guess October thirty first.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, it was exactly when you think it would be perfect.
And as we were hanging out, I remember thinking, Wow,
this is uh, you know, this is this is normal.
That's just going to be ninety degrees at night in
late October. I'm just gonna have to accept that. So
you're a weather, You're.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
A After you vacationed a burning man in the desert
for a week, you said you're more how did you
put it, more aware of the weather or you're more
impressed by the weather. Something about the weather has affected you.
I've never lived through so many short lived weather events
that were hyperbolically reported by the media as I did.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Lies. Right, We're hanging out at burning Man and all
of a sudden it gets dusty.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
So you're you're what you meant to say was you're
upset with not the weather, the weather reporting. Yeah, the
reporting of the weather. Will join the crowd. We're at
burning Man and it gets dusty. All it's a dust storm,
and the dust storm's real quick, and then there's a
torrential downpour. Twenty minutes later, it's all over.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
And an hour later any damage that it did to
the camp or the festival had been rebuilt. They put
the tents back up. It was over.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Like those little islands out in the Caribbean and the
folks that live in grass huts and stuff. After hurricane
blows soup, they just cut some you know, grab some
new palm fronds and build a new house. Right.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So this happened three or four times during the week,
and every time it happened, I'd look at my phone.
We were on the internet, nothing to do. We'd go
inside the cabin with camper while we waited for the
rain to pass by. Yeah, and I'd look at the
internet for forty minutes or whatever it was. And every
single time it was like it was reported like this.
It was like weather has ruined the Burning Man festival.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
That's it for the Burning Man It's over now.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
It's like, I don't think that's right. The other thing
I saw at burning Man that kind of blew my
mind is it's something that liberals love. It's what's the
word racial segregation?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Oh yeah, liberals love that.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I was at Burning Man with a friend I grew
up with who happens to be a brother, and so
he was invited to an all black camp.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
But he's stuck with you, so he can't go.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
No, they let me come with what. They even served
me breakfast. They were very nice to me, if you'll
have what'd you have for break I was like, eggs
and turkey sausage. It wasn't bad, you know, it isn't
better than nothing. You're out in the middle of the desert.
There's not any way to cook food unless you brought
something with you. And so we're hanging out and I
was part of the conversation and these oh bet you were.
The thing about burning Man is it's probably the whitest
place in America other than a handful of Asians and
(12:07):
black people. And you get what the non whites are.
Mostly it's white people, and I mean a lot of whites,
whites from all over the world. We'll get to that
in a minute. And as we're hanging out there, the
common topic of conversation among the black Burners that they
call themselves, would it be crackers.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, not the cracker barrel, but all crackers in general.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
It really really really annoys them that there are so
many white people around with dreadlocks.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
And I, okay, yeah, the creepy looking, nasty, dirty haired people.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I didn't have the heart to tell them. And there's
historic books and record keeping that seems to suggest that
the Vikings also add dreadlocks.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Because I don't care. I'm not going to defend the
dreadlock people.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
What do I care.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's not your fight. No, no.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
But the thing that of all the things that I'll
remember for Burning Man twenty twenty five, is going to
be this the high number of times, frequent number of
times I came across and met and had an intimate
conversation with a young man of fighting age who was
either Israeli, Ukrainian or Russian.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
At Burning Man, all over.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
The place, really constantly camped next to us partying on Friday.
I like, just everywhere you went, you were meeting you
raresh Russian you. And every time I met one, I'd
say the same thing to him. You'd be like, Wow,
I'm I'm so glad you're here safe with us and
not fighting in that war back in your home country.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
And every time I said that to him, they'd all
look around at each other kind of nervously, because because
it's clear as day, why what's going on?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Are they not supposed to be here? They're dodging the
draft There should have been there. I mean, imagine if
everybody at Burning Burning had had stayed in Ukraine, I'd
probably have won this thing, right.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
And it's it's really would and it's Russians hanging out
with Ukrainians hanging I was like, you guys have a
war going on in your home country and you're here
doing molly and mushrooms together. I look, I don't care.
I'm not like a Ukrainian patriot or whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
But we did.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
We gave you guys hundreds of billions of dollars. At
least you could do is go home and fight in
the war.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, make an effort.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I got to pay for that, and you're not even there, right,
You're here wearing a faux fur coat, dancing to techno
in the desert. I know, I know, go home and
fight in the war, pussy.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Seriously, any run into any again of Stannies while you
were there?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Many of them, but not at the festival. I met
them in Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Oh what were they doing there?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Okay? Sacramento is the airport I flew into to get
in and out of the festival, and that is the
number one location in the United States of America for
Afghan refugees. Really, and I met no idea, and I
learned something from an Afghan refugee I never would have
thought I would have learned. Apparently the Taliban is okay.
Apparently apparently those Taliban guys are great guys.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Just a okay, stand up Joe's.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
According to my uber driver who picked me up at
the airport, he has traveled to Afghanistan since the American
occupation ended. Yeah, and tells me that it's actually quite
nice there.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Well, why is he here? The end? That was what
I wondered. Get on back, you'll get after a long.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Week of hanging out at Burning Man and having to
return all the stuff that I rented e bikes and
a generator and a camper and a giant truck. I
went to uber back to the airport, and then wouldn't
you know it, I met yet another Afghan refugee, another one,
and this one had the exact opposite thing to tell me.
Talaman no good. He explained to me that the Taliban
(15:34):
was terrible. He said that his sister was stuck in
Afghanistan and she's a doctor, and I thought, wow, they
must have stoned heard a death twelve times by He said, surprisingly, no,
she's one of the only female doctors in the country.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Does she get to be a doctor? Well, it was
before the h right, Yeah, So, although they won't let
women read books or get an education anymore, if you're
one of the few women that are around that are already.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
A doctor, they will allow you to be a doctor.
To women. Because of the whole Sharia thing, They're like, well,
someone's got to deliver all these babies were looking at
the naughty bit. So we don't but we don't want
any new female doctors. Okay, Now, if you were running
the country of Afghanistan, you're a Taliban general at arms
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Uh, huh.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
And your your position is only women doctors could treat
women patients, but no new women can become doctors.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I got a wonder.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Clock sticking on that little idea. What is the end
goal there? The reason I brought up afghanistanis in the
first place, and I had no idea about it. Afghanistan, Afghans, Afghans. Yeah,
I don't know. No, that's a shawl. The Taliban would
like your help, please. They're a bit of a bind
right now, and they would love it if you and
(16:46):
I would assist them with the natural disaster that has
just occurred.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Do they need my money?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yes, yes, all the help you can send to the Taliban.
Wrap it up in a bow. Get it over there.
They have had an earthquake in Afghanistan that has killed.
The death toll is over eight hundred and thousands more injured.
And of course they said, since entire villages were destroyed,
(17:14):
they're not through picking through the rubble yet. The death
toll bound to go up by quite a bit. I
was looking at them before and after pictures of the
situation over there, and I can't tell on some of
these which ones are the before.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I know, I thought the same thing. When I was
looking at those photos, it already looks like a dump.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
And then the dump collapsed.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Five hundred dead, one thousand injured.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh my god, they're up to five hundred already.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
And apparently they say that the damage was all done
in a very rural part of the country, which gone
far far away from Cobble. Yeah rural.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, it's near any of the big cities of Rubble,
this small rural Rubble.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Well, there's really just that one big city is Cobble.
But did you know that in Afghanistan there's a two
ethnic groups there, the Afghans and the Persians, and they
don't like each other.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I talked to Persians, was just what they called themselves,
so they wouldn't no use from Afghanistan.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
No, no, No. Persians is the descendants of Iranians that
are in the country. They've been there for generations at
this point, and they don't get along with the Afghan nationals.
And so that's a lot of what's apparently. That was
the group of people we aligned ourselves with when we
tried to fix Afghanistan for about twenty years.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
So when those two sides don't get along, do they
just send tersely worded emails back and forth. Do they
have shouting matches across the back fence or do they
take it to a whole new level.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
It's a great question. After I learned about the earthquake.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Blow each other up, I'm sure blowing each other there's
a lot of suicide bombing, that's one way to go.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I had also wondered what happened with all the military
aircraft we left in the country. Can't they use those
to rescue people from the earthquake?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I mean, I think they sold those off for food
and who are the sticks to burn?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Who they sell him through Pakistan?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Maybe maybe they gave him to North Korea and North
Korea is helping out the Russians, so perhaps they're involved
in this Ukraine war.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Oh and speaking of Pakistan or is it Canada? Hard
to tell? Have you seen the video we just posted
to the Walton Johnson Instagram account.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I bet I hadn't seen it of.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Two Pakistani man and they're that's not a man that's
looking at boobs. No, that's a man and therese boobs.
They're wrestling each other in in Pakistan like a fat
woman or Canada. Who knows what it is. It's really
hard to tell. They wrestle each other in little panties
and the wrestling involves grabbing each other by their underwear
(19:41):
and pulling on it.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Now, didn't Hulk Hogan wear some similar wrestling tights when
when he wrestled? It's true, it is hard, but you
didn't say Hulk Hogan wrestled in patty Well.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I don't think they grabbed each other by their underpants
when he was wrestling, not that often. No, there is
something very homo ironic about this. And uh, but apparently
in Pakist this is like the national sport over there,
lay that guy with the man boobs do a carwheel.
That's incredible. How does he do it? I mean, that's
just amazing.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
There that's a D set, that's a that's a full
D right there on that old boy.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, he's got doubles, Yeah, big old natural ones. Yeah.
I wonder what. I wonder what he paid his plastic
surgeon for those I.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Am going to donate to afghanistanis.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
With aidspe mind, you mean the aid to Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
No, I mean Afghanistani's with aids Afghani what Afghany? That's
