How was the wedding? The wedding was awesome. The kids come or was something like No, it was a no kid's wedding.
Speaker 1 00:02:48 Uh, and yeah, it's like my friend Camille, I've known since the second grade. I played football with her older brothers. Gotcha. Uh, her older sister and like all their friends, they used to go, um, her parents had a camp, like a fishing camp in Grand Island, Louisiana, which is, uh, right in the southern, like right in the Gulf. Uh, you see all the lovely oil derricks at night, uh, lit up. Uh, so anyway, all of us would go hang out there and, you know, underrated to drink and have fun <laugh>. Uh, and then like, once we, you know, then once we became old, still drink there <laugh>. Uh, so yeah, it was like a, like a mini high school reunion with like all the people that you wanted to see. Uh, one of the shocking things, and I know this is, you know, I know cuz literally like, like Miles was looking at pictures of, uh, me from the wedding. It was like, pop. And it's like, nope, that's me. <laugh>, uh, how many of my friends and, you know, classmates are just looking at their fucking dads now. Like, everyone just looks like great. You know, like, oh my, everyone's old. Like, I haven't seen these people since, you know, like I've had kids like, it's been four years since I've seen a lot of people. Uh, Jesus Christ. We're getting old man. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:03:48 It's like a light switch.
Speaker 1 00:03:49 Oh

Speaker 1 00:04:07 A water from Taco Bell with you and getting soda like <laugh>, you know, like in midnight before we could drink. You know,
Speaker 2 00:04:15 It's funny going to those old drinking spots like you mentioned that used to be safe to drink and now it's just nostalgic and it's like way less safe now cuz you're an adult drinking and no,
Speaker 1 00:04:23 Like outdoors. This happened. All right. This is an unrelated to the wedding story. This happened today. Uh, we, uh, I live close to usc. You're not too far from it, like the campus of usc. So every once in a while you just kinda like the first time it happened, I was like, oh, there's a target here. And I opened up and as a USC campus, like motherfucker Yeah. <laugh>. So today I went to drop off something at Amazon, return, you know, store there. So I'm leaving. Yep. And a student stopped me. He's like, Hey, are you a teacher? I was like, uh, no. And he is like, you're a student <laugh> like that. And I was like, no, I'm just dropping some off at Amazon. He's like, oh yeah. Cause you're like a grown ass man. <laugh> just some kid told me, call me a grown ass man outta nowhere. And he's like, he's not wrong. No, I was wearing this like, I am a grown ass man.
Speaker 2 00:05:05 You know, it's funny, you get, uh, I, I went to that same hub next to the Trader Joe's to drop off something and the security guard approaches me and says, Hey, do you need some help? I'm like, no. And I was walking, he's like, oh, do you have a student pass? And looked at me all weird and I'm like, I oh, I don't go here. And he is like, okay, what are you doing here, <laugh>? And I'm like, I'm dropping off at the Amazon. He's like, oh. Oh, okay. Sorry. We've had some, we've had some transients walking on and people still looking for trouble walking on. And I was just like, I know you're doing your job, bro, but I don't think you understand how offensive that is.
Speaker 1 00:05:37 <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:05:37 And I wasn't like dressed like a transient, I looked real good, but I wasn't, you know, I had like, you rarely mis Matt Sanders. You

Speaker 2 00:10:14 Wow. Suckers. Yeah. Fucking suckers. People don't know what voter suppression is. Uh, like, until you sit in a line waiting to vote mm-hmm. <affirmative>, then you understand what voter suppression
Speaker 1 00:10:23 Is like. Yeah. And like those boxes, like, it's not a cardboard box on the side of the road. It's like these giant metal boxes that you literally can only put one ballot in at a time. Yeah. It's, it can't, you can't physically put two ballots in at the same time.
Speaker 2 00:10:35 Dude, it's so nuts to me. Why this isn't the norm. It's, it should just be the norm. Like, these voting boxes get dropped off. There's some fucking security guards that sit there round the clock, make sure nobody's fucking throwing water or acid in there. Just we all get to vote. It's,
Speaker 1 00:10:53 We get, they're always in public places. They're always in parks or like next to libraries. So there's always like people around. They're not like in the, you know, in the back of someone's
Speaker 2 00:11:01 House, dude. And everybody should have the day off. Everybody should have the day off. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 00:11:06 I love that the NBA didn't play this year. Yeah. Like that was a badass.
Speaker 2 00:11:08 Yeah. That was like, oh, we're not gonna play the day. Like, we want everyone to go vote. And like, voting shouldn't close until fucking midnight. It should be opened at fucking 4:00 AM as you close at fucking midnight. Yeah. Everybody needs a chance to just go and place their vote. It's our fucking Right. Why do we make, why do they make it fucking hard? It's this, we were talking about how states state by state, it's nice to like go to another state and it's like, Hey, you guys do your own thing. Yeah. This is one of those times where it's not Okay. No, no. That's, that's some bo
Speaker 1 00:11:37 Shit. It's a, yeah. It's like one of it's, I mean, COVID in the election process in the Oh wow. It's a lot, lot to choose like the worst thing Trump did while he was in office. Oh
Speaker 2 00:11:47 My
Speaker 1 00:11:47 God. Then, you know, then there's of course like the January 6th part.
Speaker 2 00:11:50 Yeah. I forgot about that.
Speaker 1 00:11:51 Like, completely like denying our elections and fucking up our elections is gonna be one of his longest lasting fuck up to do to this country. Oh yeah. That's making sure that like people, uh, a large percentage, you know, doubt the results.
Speaker 2 00:12:05 Dude. Uh, Kerry Lake just officially lost in uh, Arizona. In Arizona. Yeah. And I think that Cecily Strong's impression of her on SNL of, uh, she did a scene where she's on Fox and Friends all filtered out. Like just being like, she's like, oh, what do you think about, uh, the election? She's like, I think it's terrible if I don't win. And they're like, oh, it looks like you've just pulled a head. She's like, that's why I always think we should have trust in the system. And she's like, oh no, I'm sorry. It looks like that. That was, no, I was wrong. You're actually behind. She's like, and that's why we need to burn Arizona to the ground and find out what's going on. Nope. I misspoke. You're a he again. And make sure that we congratulate our, our fellow lose. And I'm just like, this is so funny. Cuz that's all she's been doing. It's just like, if I win, it's right. But if I lose, it's wrong.
Speaker 1 00:12:51 No. It's like, and now it's a play in the playbook.
Speaker 2 00:12:53 Oh yeah. That's, it's, it's fucking wild. The good thing is like a lot of the wackos lost, like almost all of the Trump backed wackos lost and
Speaker 1 00:13:06 Not some of the all stars, but
Speaker 2 00:13:08 A lot lost. Yeah. A lot. A lot lost. Like Boer got, I think Bobber got kicked out. I
Speaker 1 00:13:13 Don't know. I don't even know unless I heard she was back in. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:13:16 I I think that she was narrowly ahead. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 00:13:19 <affirmative>, the blonde one's still in there.
Speaker 2 00:13:21 Yeah. MTGs still in there. Mm-hmm. She is the fucking worst.
Speaker 1 00:13:25 They're so terrible.
Speaker 2 00:13:27 She's the fucking worst. I can't believe. Oh, we got some stats coming in for Bobber. Uh, we got some stats coming in for Bobber. It still looks pretty fucking close. I don't know if they've called it yet. Uh,
Speaker 1 00:13:39 And that's, um, it's so, like, you know, back, back when I was a kid, like elections were decided so fast. Two, yeah. Once in 2000. Like, that one fucked everyone up. And that's kind of been the norm since. But I remember just being like, election night. Like, that was it, it was an election night. Now it's an election.
Speaker 2 00:13:56 Yeah. It looks like b uh, BBER did pull away. She did pull away. So Boer is still running her fucking, like,
Speaker 1 00:14:03 I'm sure's a, you know, mark
Speaker 2 00:14:04 In town.
Speaker 1 00:14:05 Like 10,000, 20,000. I think it's something crazy like that. The difference.
Speaker 2 00:14:09 Yeah. Dude, she is so dumb.
Speaker 1 00:14:11 <laugh>. It's insane. It's,
Speaker 2 00:14:13 You know what's crazy? It was like, you have to, you weren't supposed to be like, this person's dumb. I just disagree with them, but
Speaker 1 00:14:22 Fuck's dumb. You know, the Chappelle monologue about, uh, her short, it's like he's vi visibly
Speaker 2 00:14:29 Stupid. Visibly stupid
Speaker 1 00:14:30 <laugh>. And then I think it's even after that he talks about vampires and where I saw that in earnest, in
Speaker 2 00:14:37 Earnest, I saw that he's just trying to explain Frighten Night. I saw this movie fr out a Freak night or something like, and he's trying to recap the movie where you clearly see that he doesn't understand what was going on. Well, he's
Speaker 1 00:14:49 The, in the most important Senate race runoff in the fucking
Speaker 2 00:14:52 Country trying to draw the smallest thinnest line between an actor playing a vampire, going to kill real vampires and Herschel Warnock being that real vampire. I thought it was a
Speaker 1 00:15:03 Heaven. I've lost a, I lost the, uh, I
Speaker 2 00:15:06 Metaphor. I was not on that train. I wa I was hanging on for dear life. I'm like, give him a second. And I think that's my internal ra racism. Cause I look at this visible idiot that anybody else, if they were white, I'd be like, fuck up. Shut the
Speaker 1 00:15:19 Fuck up.
Speaker 2 00:15:21 I don't even like him. I'm not even a Republican. And he's going, I'm like, okay, just give it a second. He's going somewhere. <laugh>. And that's just my internal racism to want all black people. I
Speaker 1 00:15:30 Mean, noticing your own bias is an important thing.
Speaker 2 00:15:32 Yeah. Man. I, I fucking, he's a, he's a motherfucking idiot. <laugh> put it in the swear jar.
Speaker 1 00:15:39 <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:15:40 Um, but yeah, I, I, a lot of people right now in the media are like, oh, Democrats should not be like, celebrating. And I'm just like, fuck you. We should all take a deep breath right now. That this wasn't way worse. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:15:54 It, um, and honestly like another, you know, I don't think it's, it's probably gonna be proven eventually. Maybe there's gonna be like someone write a paper on it, but like, people that died during covid, like if they wouldn't have died, the vast majority of them were red voters. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:16:07 Fuck. That's, that's one thing I don't think we're looking at, which is
Speaker 1 00:16:11 <crosstalk>. Like, that's a data point that I think someone's gonna like take it. It's like, whoa. Look at that.
Speaker 2 00:16:14 Yeah. Just like, oh, there, there's our, is there, there's our 600,000 boats we were missing. Fuck.
Speaker 1 00:16:20 They're dead.
Speaker 2 00:16:21 Shit. That's very, very sad. I mean, we just got eight. We just hit 8 billion on the planet. I, I saw that. I don't think people are freaking out enough about that shit.
Speaker 1 00:16:31 I, uh, it's such a crazy number. Like
Speaker 2 00:16:34 Such a, I remember growing up it was 4 billion. It was four. Yeah. Yeah. I remember like, hey, there's 4 billion people on the planet. And I'm like, that's insane. But to, in my lifetime, not long ago, to now hit 8 billion, I'm like, we are not on the right path. We need another fucking pandemic. Fucking, I'm sorry, <laugh>. I'm sorry. But like, holy shit. How can we come out of a pandemic and like double number? We still

Speaker 1 00:20:28 Try to, uh, review it without spoiling each one of
Speaker 2 00:20:31 'em, I guess. Um, I saw Wakanda forever too. It was a beautiful, very sad and funny, terrible Marvel movie. Yeah. Like, it was funny. I loved it. I didn't think it was that good. But, you know, the way that they addressed, uh, you know, Chadwick Bozeman's passing mm-hmm. <affirmative> rest in peace. You know, I thought it was a bit lazy, but that wasn't the focus Yeah. You know, of what happened. And I think the way they transitioned the new back Panther was perfect. I think they, it was very, very, very, you know, thoughtful writing to honor someone and at the same time continue the storyline without being too lazy. It was great. It was very, very funny. Um, the, the, was it the Monkey King? The Gorilla? King Bley. Yeah. Still not fan of Man Ape. And like, I'm glad they referred to him as MB Baku, but Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:21:29 Yeah. And they, it's didn't stick to the costume for the comics. Right. A giant gorilla
Speaker 2 00:21:34 Head. I wanna tell, uh, one thing I like about Marvel is a tastefully doing a story, uh, that centers on the African community and leaving all the racist tropes that they were born out of. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> behind. I love that. Very, very happy
Speaker 1 00:21:52 With that. Good job.
Speaker 2 00:21:53 Yeah. Very, very, uh, the way they did, uh, Nemore's people and like, everything, the costumes were amazing. Yeah. That
Speaker 1 00:21:59 Looks
Speaker 2 00:21:59 Really cool. The jokes were great. It was very like, female empowerment, empowerment across the board. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Like, I think you don't hear a dude speak for like the first 45 minutes, which was great. You know,
Speaker 1 00:22:10 That's my big problem with it.
Speaker 2 00:22:13 I felt like interrupting the movie
Speaker 1 00:22:14 Representation matters. <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:22:16 It was so blatant. I thought I was standing and be like, as a man, I'm enjoying this. Like, just wanted to speak. Cause I felt left out.
Speaker 1 00:22:24 Actually. Uh, let me just correct you there. People on screen, it's
Speaker 2 00:22:27 Always a, it tells toss with me. You don't know if my racism or misogyny is more you, you never know with me.
Speaker 1 00:22:33 It's a hard one hard balance to achieve.
Speaker 2 00:22:35 It was a hard balance. Um, they did have a post credit part that was very tasteful, but the end of credit part, there was nothing. It just said Black Panther will be back also. Yeah. Shannon's like, they're not gonna do that. That just seems in bad taste. I'm like, you never know. You don't wanna be the guys that walk out here. Yeah. And they didn't have one, which was great. So if you're thinking about staying till the very, very end of the credits, it's just gonna say back Panther will be back. That's not, that's it. So if that spoils it for anybody, if the Black Panther didn't die, so
Speaker 1 00:22:58 Why, why don't you think it's not a good Marvel movie? Well,
Speaker 2 00:23:03 It was very, very centered in the re the like, rebuild of the walk. Like the Black Panther and Con culture. And usually in these movies they leave like some blatant Easter eggs and it gets pointed in a direction where you're like, oh shit, I know what's gonna happen next. This one not so much. Like, if you're not, like when you go into movies and you're not like a huge Marvel fan, they at least force feed you some shit of what to expect. Like this one. Unless you know characters, unless you know like what the word mutant means. Unless, you know, like this person usually rolls in a crew and he's here by himself. You're like, what the fuck's going on? You know? So, uh, I didn't watch She Hulk yet or any of the other shit. They got a bunch of, uh, series that they're gonna come out to advance the story.
Speaker 2 00:23:49 But yeah, it was okay. I, I liked it. I'm gonna watch it again when it comes out cuz like, you know, I went to, I went to see it in the movie theaters I went to, and this is Side Shade Boo Boo, boo Side Shade. I went to the Regal downtown LA mm-hmm. <affirmative>, which I remember was a beautiful theater. And I realized I haven't been there since before the Force Awakens came out. Like it's been a while. Yeah. Yeah. And I went to this theater and I was disgusted by the condition it was in mm-hmm. <affirmative>, like nothing was working. Like they had this full menu and all these screens. I'm like, I'll have that. We don't got it. I'll have a Slurpy machine's down. All right. Yeah. I cream now. I'm like, okay, why don't you tell me what you have and I'll let you know. It's like, we got popcorn. Cool. One of those, you know, like that was it. Like they had soda machine. Half of 'em wasn't working. The the, like the seats were crummy. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, the, everything was rickety. You could hear when people are moving around in their chairs. It was, uh, <laugh>. All right.
Speaker 1 00:24:46 Classic movie going experience.
Speaker 2 00:24:48 Yeah. You know, you, I was saying this to our producer, when you go to the movies, there's some things you have to accept that you are dealing with the elements. Cuz there's parts of movies that you enjoy, like these big reveals where the crowd goes nuts and you get swept up in it and you're like, woo. Yeah. And then there's parts where, you know, this dude is translating to his friend that he took that doesn't speak English. What's going on? Like, why did you bring him? And then, you know, you have the couple in front of you fighting over, you know, if they should leave early to get like, like, okay bro. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> relax. Then there's a kid struggling with his fucking Twizzlers behind you just like, want me to open
Speaker 1 00:25:26 It. <laugh> fuck. It is the balance of like, cuz I rarely go see a movie opening. Cause I, I mean it is, it's so awesome to see a Marvel movie or something like that in a crowd where everyone's like cheering and laughing and like, oh yeah. Like, ooh, you know? Uh, also I just like to see a movie with like, me, another person in it <laugh> like in the middle of the week, three weeks in.
Speaker 2 00:25:46 There's times for both of those. Yeah. There's times for both of those. Like, I, I love, like we went and saw Love and Thunder like five we four or five weeks after it came out in imax. Just so we, you know, there's no body heat and we got the full effect. It was like we bought a fucking 200 foot screen. You know, like the thing was as big as the arena. The base was rattling the chairs next to us. I'm like, is this 4d? Cuz this is cool. Um, but you know, I, I realized that I only see Marvel movies in the theater. Like, I wanted to see Maverick, but I missed my opportunity. Yeah. Because every single time people were flocking to see it. And I'm like, eh,
Speaker 1 00:26:22 No, it's a ra. You know, it's a rare occasion. Like maybe a good scary movie. It's something that well, when I will go see. But Marvel movies pretty much it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:26:29 Like, cause they're only ones fucking dropping bangers, you know, like no one else is dropping fucking great movies. DC tried with Morbius and that shit went straight to dvd, AKA Netflix. You know, it wasn't good. Um, but yeah. That's, that's what my take, take on. Yeah. I suggest if you want to go to the movies, go see it. It's two hours and 40 something minutes. Damn. It's not the damn out of the out my producer's mouth. Damn. That was a hard Kevin heartbeat. Hell,
Speaker 1 00:26:55 Hell of a run time.
Speaker 2 00:26:55 Yeah. It's not fucking short. They do do a lot of like slow motion, useless shit. They could have cut it down by like 30 minutes. But, um, it, I'm gonna see it again when it comes out to Disney Plus <laugh> when it comes on to Disney Plus, I'll, I'll see it. But yeah, that's it. So, uh, what was the movie
Speaker 1 00:27:15 You saw? I saw it was the most convenient movie I've ever seen. Uh, I was at, uh, in Texas at my, uh, my, uh, mother to father-in-law's house. Uh, they were watching TV in the living room. We were in our bedroom and I turned the TV on, it was a Roku tv and said, do you wanna watch the weird al movie Plug Al or Weird, the Al Yankovic story? And I said, yeah, yeah. I got an hour and a half. Let's do this. Yeah. I'm like, uh, I'm a, you know, weird al fan since I was in middle school. Like, loved weird. I mean, I don't know if it's that obvious, but
Speaker 2 00:27:42 Like, oh no, you just fucking dress like him. <laugh>. Yeah,
Speaker 1 00:27:44 Exactly. You know, like massive fucking
Speaker 2 00:27:46 Nerd. If you're on the, if you guys are listening at home, he's got his accordion right here behind him. Yeah. We don't take it out for special
Speaker 1 00:27:53 Occasions. <laugh>. Yeah. So the sound off. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:27:55 <laugh>. But, you know, so I've, uh, always been a fan. Weird out, like, had lots and lots of his CDs. Like I'll still like toss a weird out play, you know, like it shuffle on the weird house all my songs and just jam out like, oh shit. Still do it. Uh, so the movie is awesome. Like, it's, it's hilarious. Like I was laughing out loud lots of times. It's like a parody of a biopic movie for sure. So it's not like, it's like, you know, some of the things are accurate, but most of it's not. Like Yeah. It's, there's there's certain big jokes that I wish I could spoil. Cause they're so fucking funny. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:28:27 Do not spoil 'em, because I'm probably gonna watch that movie tonight. Um, I'm probably gonna watch it tonight. Yeah. And I can come back with take
Speaker 1 00:28:34 On it. There's like lots of cameos and like, um, but even it's just, and then like, the highlight is like Daniel Radcliffe, like should be nominated for something because he plays it so serious and he has to do such outrageous dumb things. <laugh>. And he's like, he's just, you know, with the mustache and the glasses and the, and the, the curly hair. Like,
Speaker 2 00:28:54 Good
Speaker 1 00:28:55 For him. He's, he's, he's so committed to the out outlandishness of it.
Speaker 2 00:28:59 Good for him. Like, I love when actors do that, you know, that I wouldn't call it breakout, but breakaway rules. You know, like, yeah. If he did amazing in this movie, he can like, break away from Harry Potter. Like he can show that he can do other
Speaker 1 00:29:10 Shit. And I love that he's done that too. Like, he hasn't like, you know, there's the movie where he was a corpse. Like, uh, that was a fun one. But I like that he hasn't been like, well, what's the next franchise he gotta do? He's like, nah, I'm gonna do whatever the why fuck I want, like, yes. I'll be weird out. Like, I
Speaker 2 00:29:23 Hope they put him in the Marvel movie or something.
Speaker 1 00:29:25 Yeah, I'd like this. Definitely Check
Speaker 2 00:29:27 That out. Yeah. Make him like, uh, what was that morph? Was that morph from Xmen? Oh,
Speaker 1 00:29:31 That's not bad. Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:29:32 I think he'd be great as morph. Just like fucking saggy eyed. Like, all right, come on, <laugh>. Yeah. Like, I, I think he can do that very, very well. Or the towed. He can break the toad very well. Um, I should start casting for him, but, uh, so all in all, you enjoyed the
Speaker 1 00:29:48 Movie. I really did. I really wanna spoil some jokes that's spoil so fucking good.
Speaker 2 00:29:52 Don't, there's
Speaker 1 00:29:53 A couple of 'em that are like, they're just too funny to like, like the concepts. Like, it's almost like how in, uh, in a glorious bastards how like Tarantino killed Hitler. Is that kind of like, outrageous, like, oh, okay. <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:30:08 Yeah. Gotcha.
Speaker 1 00:30:09 So that's what Weird Al did. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Back
Speaker 2 00:30:12 Next. Full right. We'll come back next week with a full review. You could, if you can hold it together for a week, uh, um, right before our Thanksgiving episode. Um, uh, we'll, we'll come back to it. All right. I, you guys, we're gonna take a quick break right now and then we'll come right back. So Bennett can fucking spoil this movie for me. <laugh>. We'll be right back. This is Papa. Don't,
Speaker 2 00:30:59 And we're back. That was a nice little break. Longest piss I've ever taken, but you guys don't know that <laugh>. Um, so before we get into it, uh, I just wanted to give a, uh, heartfelt shout out, uh, to the family of Kevin Conroy. For those of you do not know in my lifetime, he has been Batman, the voice of Batman through video games, through animation. He is the voice of Batman, the voice of Bruce Wayne. This guy is an amazing voice actor. And, uh, he will be missed. He went too early. Um, I didn't know he was sick. I didn't know he was gay, which is great. I, I
Speaker 1 00:31:38 Think recently came out. Yeah, Batman originally, uh, voiced the animated series. They went on Fox when we were kids. Yep. And then through the a asylum video games and subsequent animated movies
Speaker 2 00:31:50 And Justice
Speaker 1 00:31:51 League. I think he even, like I was reading article about it after his passing, uh, that like even got to play Bruce Wayne, like on one of the CW shows at one point. Gosh, he's pretty
Speaker 2 00:32:00 Rad. That's awesome. Yeah. That is awesome.
Speaker 1 00:32:02 Yeah, I mean his, like, when I read the comics, I hear him talking as Batman. Yeah. Like he's the voice in my head when I read for sure.
Speaker 2 00:32:07 I, I don't know any other voice, uh, except for him. And it's, uh, for the fans at the DC Universe, uh, animated series and Batman, which is we've covered in this podcast, which is one of the best animated series of all time. He will be greatly missed. And this is a sad, sad day, but also, uh, amazing life accomplishments that this guy was able to just touch the lives of so many people.
Speaker 1 00:32:32 Yeah. By all one of those dudes did, by all accounts, was like an amazing, friendly, you know, happy, great guy be
Speaker 2 00:32:39 Around. Yeah. I'm, he's amazing. And I saw, uh, this, uh, I saw this clip, uh, this ticker was just going in like this Batman's such a bad as, and this is how I found out that, uh, he was gay. Uh, because Blaine, uh, our producer was like, you know, he's gay. I was like, I didn't know he was sick. I saw this ticker was just like, well, you know, those of you guys why he didn't get me tood, it's because he's gay. And I'm like, that's not a reason, but that's very funny. Take on it.
Speaker 1 00:33:07 <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:33:07 It's a very funny
Speaker 1 00:33:08 Tell Kevin Spacey though. Exactly.
Speaker 2 00:33:10 <laugh>. It's like, that's not a reason. But you know, it's, it's so funny. They're trying to use that as him being a good guy. I'm like, you can be both. You can be an evil motherfucker and homosexual.
Speaker 1 00:33:18 No, I mean, the fact that he worked with the same people for like decades and everyone was like, you know, by all accounts glowing as a, you know, exactly. Amazing person, which is a super sad that he is gone. Um, and I, uh, continually will try to push Batman the Minute series one of my kids until it's their favorite thing.
Speaker 2 00:33:34 Oh yeah. It's gonna be one of those things when he's old enough, like, we're gonna, like, before bedtime, we're watching two episodes of Batman. Like, you know, that's what we're gonna do. And then when we're done with that, we're watching Avatar. You know, like that's, yeah. It's gonna be one of those things when he is like six or seven, I'm like, right, we're watching Batman two episodes of before you go to bed. It's like, ugh. To one him. Like, shut up.
Speaker 1 00:33:52 Yeah. It's still a little two story heavy, not enough, um, singing or explosions for my kids yet. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:33:58 That's, that's the, that's where I'm at. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So, uh, yes. Uh, Kevin Conroy, uh, rest in peace and power. Um, you are the Darkest Knight and you've brought a lot of light in those nights to all of us. Uh, you'll be missed. Um, so, uh, moving on to lighter news. Not really much lighter news. My father lost his, uh, race, uh, for city council in Hawthorne. And I think I get what these conservers are saying. I'm seeing massive fraud out there. <laugh>. I'm thinking a lot of illegals voted. I don't accept the results.
Speaker 1 00:34:32 Like, uh, I mean stuff in ballots. You see it all over
Speaker 2 00:34:35 The place. I see. You see it all over the place. Like I, I was walking down the street and I just saw this trash bag full of ballots. Guess who're there for my dad. So we gotta, we really gotta shut down the city and find out what's going on.
Speaker 1 00:34:46 It's a good tactic.
Speaker 2 00:34:46 It's like, yeah, I mean, he lost fair square. What are you gonna do <laugh>? Um, but uh, you know, I, I told, I I, I was telling him like, win lose, he should think about retiring. Um, that, you know, I understand what he wants to do, but he can do way more as a private citizen than in CI city council because of how much cloud he has. Yeah. In the city of Englewood. And with the city of Hawthorne, just, he's got 40 years working for the city. Like everybody knows him. And I think he should just kind of like, work in the background a little bit, maybe endorse the next candidate. Like, I'm like, do you want, you wanna be working as a city council member at your age? Like, it doesn't
Speaker 1 00:35:25 Be like fun.
Speaker 2 00:35:26 Like, come on man, kick back, enjoy your grandkids shit. Yeah. Uh, but yeah, uh, congratulations to whatever motherfucker won. Cause I didn't care. I just wanted my dad to win. Um, congratulations to them. So, uh, you guys, we are, we are about to roll right into, uh, writing hard to one of the forgotten holidays, Thanksgiving, the city, uh, I mean, it's not sorry. The, uh, holiday of Turkey murders, uh, lies and deceit. <laugh>
Speaker 2 00:35:55 The forgotten holiday, uh, Turkey Day. Um, I know that my, I talked about it last year. Like one of my family traditions was, you know, Thursday my mom was not trying to have a bunch of motherfuckers in the house yet. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Cause she just was like, I'm not cooking Turkey and fucking be Tam. Like, I'm gonna cook a bunch of African food. But like, she's like, I'm not doing that right now. So we'd go to friends and family's houses for Thanksgiving. Uh, we would come home Thursday night and my mom would like get a movie or something and we'd just all like, we'd build a fort and pass out in the living room. It was like our family day. And then Friday was Friendsgiving and she'd in tell us to invite all of our friends. She'd invite coworkers that were from all over the place that had nowhere to go. And there there'll just be Heineken, Guinness and a bunch of food at the house with African music. That's, that was our,
Speaker 1 00:36:41 That's nice. I, um, I mean I, it's one of those things where I feel the opposite way. I, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Oh shit. <laugh>. It's uh, it's like not a forgotten holiday at our house at all. <laugh> it. Um, before, uh, a little history, uh, my wife Natalie and I, before we were dating officially, we were roommates, uh, in a house together. Oh shit. Uh, so Thanksgiving was like the very first time. We weren't dating at all. We were just friends. Uh, that like our fam like my mom met her parents and her old, younger brother and older brother. So it was like, you know, it was like a really nice, you know, kinda like thing. And everyone was like, wow, this is really fun. And then like, we got to do it a bunch more. Oh, nice. Uh, but yeah, so I always love Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 00:37:19 I love cooking Turkey and ham. Um, I, it's like one of the jobs I do, uh, like one of the reasons I do the job, I do craft service is like, I like people telling me that I did good cooking stuff. <laugh>. So Thanksgiving really scratches that itch cuz I, one of the things I can do with confidence, I can cook. Like I know how to cook at Turkey. I get to a size of cook Turkey. I cooked, I'd do it all. Like I can do it. I could do a little bit of everything if needed.
Speaker 2 00:37:42 O man, I, I want to just like watch you cook one day <laugh>. Cause like I'm, I would say I'm a ho I'm a home cook. I'm, I think I'm pretty confident in my cooking skills, but there's like some things I won't touch. You know, like there's some things that like, I'm not gonna cook a Turkey. Like I have no interest in Turkey. So I'm like, I'm not gonna cook a Turkey, but I will fucking glaze a ham. <laugh>,
Speaker 1 00:38:03 I'll glaze the fuck out of a ham. It'll be glowing,
Speaker 2 00:38:06 Dude, I'll, my fucking ham will put you on dialysis. That's how fucking good it is. Great taste. Uh, it's, it will end your life. Take nine years off your life. You eat one of my fucking ham. I
Speaker 1 00:38:17 Dig that. I like the ham where it's like, it's so glazed. It's just staying straight. Yep. You know, afterwards.
Speaker 2 00:38:21 Yeah. I uh, I know like when you cut it, I've only glazed a ham once and then I was, I was like, oh shit. Cuz then I started learning all these tricks. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So I was like, okay, I'm gonna, I can't wait to glaze a ham again. But it's also also too much fucking food.
Speaker 1 00:38:37 Like I'm okay with that. Yeah. <laugh> I always named like the, it's like, oh, I'm having Thanksgiving two, I'm having Thanksgiving three <laugh>. Like I rarely get to Thanksgiving five. But like, I always call it like this, it's like the sequel like, oh my leftovers. Cause I have, it's not like I don't have Oh no. It's like we're doing it all. We're doing it all. <laugh>. Let's do
Speaker 2 00:38:55 It again. So are you like a, do you like I have not met anybody who likes this. You might be the exception cuz you look cooking cranberry sauce,
Speaker 1 00:39:01 I <laugh> the can stuff. Yeah. Fucking love it. Yeah. And Miles loves it too. Like he uh, you know, the few holidays he's had cranberry sauce, we have to take it away cuz he'll eat the whole, whole damn can. Well
Speaker 2 00:39:13 I'm glad you're teaching your kid how to
Speaker 1 00:39:14 Be gross. <laugh> <laugh>
Speaker 2 00:39:16 Like, I never fucked a cranberry sauce. I don't understand it.
Speaker 1 00:39:19 I, uh, you know, like my grandmother was still alive. She'd always make like from scratch cranberry sauce and it was like, like with care and love and I never ate it. <laugh>, she just wanted that jello bowl <laugh>. Oh yeah. You could tell, look how old it is. Race <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:39:38 Oh, this one was back here in O seven.
Speaker 1 00:39:40 Whoa. It's classic a good year.
Speaker 2 00:39:43 Um, so do you, um, like now have you like seen your traditions change? Like, especially now that your family has grown? Like what, what are your plans for Thanksgiving this year? I
Speaker 1 00:39:55 Think we're doing, uh, cause I got, you know, my, uh, brother and girlfriend, his girlfriend and mom are in town. So I think we're doing, uh, like a little group. You know, everyone hang out their day, uh, at their place this year. And I'm sure I'll end up cooking a Turkey and, uh, Brock, my brother was a chef for a long time, so he likes cooking all kind of, you know, whatever he feels like doing. Damn. I should
Speaker 2 00:40:12 Go to your house for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 00:40:13 Yeah, we're really good. Thanksgiving's a solid meal at our place.
Speaker 2 00:40:16 Okay. Damn.
Speaker 1 00:40:17 Yeah. Cause I do
Speaker 2 00:40:17 Down the street.
Speaker 1 00:40:19 I mean, I'm sure it's fold up in a cookbook. I do pretty much the same Turkey every year where I maybe do a little this, but it's just like, you know, Google Emeralds Cajun injected Turkey and this Turkey I make and it's uh, it's, it's making
Speaker 2 00:40:31 Sleepy.
Speaker 1 00:40:31 It's never dry. Little spicy.
Speaker 2 00:40:34 Damn. That sounds
Speaker 1 00:40:35 Delicious. Often I'll make like a Turkey gumbo, like Turkey and sausage gumbo. If I have a bunch of Turkey left over the next
Speaker 2 00:40:40 Day. Damn. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> damn.
Speaker 1 00:40:42 Don't fuck around on Thanksgiving. <laugh>. But I don't have, we don't have any like solid, like, I like, you know, I like tossing the parade on and complaining how awful it is. Like football's fine, but I don't have a ton of like traditions on Thanksgiving other than me cooking and not fucking cleaning. Right. That's another bite. I love not doing the dishes on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 00:40:59 That's one of the reasons I always go to somebody else's house. So I get a free meal, I kick it and then, you know, I slip in the EIS and I go home.
Speaker 1 00:41:07 Yeah. Like, oh, I threw my plates away later. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:41:10 That's, that's literally it. <laugh>, that is it. Like I, well another reason why I don't cook too is cuz Friday's our big day. Yeah. Yeah. Friday. The Friendsgiving thing has always been our big day. And I know like our Thanksgiving, we're going to like a girlfriend, my brother's girlfriend's house and like their family mm-hmm. <affirmative> whatever. Like, it's gonna be fine. But I'm, I'm really excited for Friday because that's when the whole family comes through and it's lit. It's like we're both, we're all gonna be in the kitchen for like three hours. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, I think, uh, I'm either gonna do short ribs and lobster tail. My brother's gonna do, uh, wings. He's gonna do like dry rub and wet wings. My sister's gonna make, uh, um, fried plant 10 and potatoes with the egg. Uh, we do like this, like, it's almost, I would always call like ju off eggs. Like it's just amazing. You take the plant 10, you scoop some of the, it's it's gonna be fucking fire. It's gonna be fire, it's gonna be amazing. And then we're just gonna be playing video games and board games all day. We might watch, uh, a couple movies, but like, you know, we got the Ninja Turtles game, we're gonna go 4 4, 4 controllers. Hard up the games. Oh,
Speaker 1 00:42:19 That's real good. That's good stuff. How bunga? Chaos.
Speaker 2 00:42:23 Chaos. We're gonna play some Jackbox. Uh, you know, we gonna set up the, uh, the Hot Wheels track and have some drag races for shot for shots. Like
Speaker 1 00:42:32 We, uh, it's been fun. This is a complete aside, but for like Miles is a real Car dude. Like, we had to get a suitcase of all the presents, like just a brand new suitcase. Not if it wasn't a book, it had fucking four wheels. Like every single present had Wheels <laugh>. Uh, but anyway, like back to Thanksgiving. So I like digging like your af African style of cooking, like the Cajun style Thanksgiving growing up. Like there were often times where I remember like one time specifically like, you know, first year in college, like going to my dad's family Thanksgiving. Yeah. And they were, I am not joking. There were more meats than there were sides. <laugh>, you had more options of meat. Cuz it's like, you know, well I did this, I did this, I did this because like, it's a real min cooking culture. So everyone's like, well, you know, we show off a little bit. You know, so it was like, it was, it's ridiculous. Like
Speaker 2 00:43:18 Yeah. Like we don't fuck around with sides that much. Like we'll probably have like, uh, we'll probably have like roasted carrots, uh, you know, sauteed and blanched broccoli and then, I don't know, grilled corn. You know, we ain't doing a fucking kale salad at this house.
Speaker 1 00:43:35 Yeah, no, I'm, um, I'm not traditional about a lot of things, but for Thanksgiving, like, I'm like, Hey, we'll do a restaurant. That's fine. If you wanna do that one day. Or if you wanna do a Friendsgiving, we're gonna do a Thanksgiving meal one day. <laugh>. It's like over the course of these four days, I'll be making a Turkey and a ham. There's gonna be mashed potatoes and gravy. There's gonna be cranberry sauce, there's gonna be corn, there's gonna be probably a green bees. And that's, Hey, anything else is fine. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:43:56 <laugh>, this is last year Thanksgiving. I had the bozo, but the bozo's gonna be with his mom in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 00:44:01 Oh
Speaker 2 00:44:01 Yeah. So like, it's, you know, I, I love having like just a day of not doing shit with the bozo because I mean, like, it gets on Shannon's nerves cuz she knows I'm gonna tear up the living room. But I'm moving around furniture. I'm setting up a Thomas track. Uh, I'm setting up a Hot Wheels track. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, you know, like we're, we're shooting, we're setting up, uh, a hundred cups and shooting nerfs at them. Like, it's always, it's always insane. Yeah. And like, Shannon's just like, okay, I'm gonna go upstairs for a moment, take a deep breath. Like, she's not someone who likes clutter. And then when she comes downstairs, like with a headache and just sees like us screaming, I got my shirt off and those, those running around, she's like, okay, I need a second
Speaker 1 00:44:42 <laugh>. So it's a lot
Speaker 2 00:44:43 Going on here. So it's gonna be pretty calm this year. And I think, um, it'll be nice. It'll be nice. Um, and I want him to see his grandparents that live in, like, it's nice for him to know both sides of his family. So Yeah, totally. It's, it's gonna be nice and maybe he'll be snowing over there. He loves the fucking snow, so I'm excited for him. Um, I hope they don't like, you know, start educating him how to storm capitals or anything <laugh>, you know, cause they, I wouldn't say they're country, but they're like,
Speaker 1 00:45:08 Let's talk about legitimate elections. Yeah. <laugh>
Speaker 2 00:45:15 That O zero a s is four. Stop the steel. You know, like we're not doing that. Um, uh, but yeah, I, I, I don't have too many traditions like, you know, um, next week we're gonna do our Black Friday reviews. Like, um, black Friday used to be way different, you know? Um,
Speaker 1 00:45:35 Yeah. People used to get trampled lame stuff where it's Black Friday all week. Come on some competition. It's a little hunger game in this thing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:45:43 Like, like, what was it? Uh, cyber Mondays and like Black Friday now Prime Day sticking it's dick in there. Yeah. Local,
Speaker 1 00:45:49 Local store Saturdays or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 00:45:51 Yeah. Yeah. It's, yeah, it's ridiculous. Like, I, we're gonna talk about some certain deals you definitely need to jump on next week, but I'm at a point where like, I can't really, I don't need anything. There's nothing that I need. Like people are asking me what I want for Christmas and I'm just like, you know, if you can like put a loan down so I can get a new car, maybe a new house, but like, I got everything I need. I need a new, I need some new cabinet, so I wanna get my kitchen redone. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:46:19 It's like all the things that cost less than a hundred dollars, I'll buy myself. Yeah. So I don't know,
Speaker 2 00:46:23 Like everything that I, I would say, quote unquote I need is over a hundred k. You know, like, I'm not getting it, but
Speaker 1 00:46:30 Because it's like I got a retirement plan, like, I don't know, it's like the Christmas present.
Speaker 2 00:46:33 Yeah. Like, hey, what do you say Amazon have Then we went for Christmas Healthcare, <laugh>, <laugh> fucking dental. Yeah. That's what I need.
Speaker 1 00:46:43 Can you replace each one of these teeth? Like every frame home, just tossing for
Speaker 2 00:46:46 A tooth. I blew out my legs. You think you can get me like, you know, personal trainer? That's maybe something I need.
Speaker 1 00:46:51 All right. Fine. Gift card to Amazon. That's fine. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:46:53 I'll, I'll use it for an extension cord at some point. You know, <laugh>, that's, that's it. Like, I can't think of anything I need. Um, I know that, you know, we talked about it a few episodes ago, but this is the weekend, uh, this weekend is when I'm doing the big, the big clean garage sale on Sunday. Oh, nice. If you have anything you wanna donate to the garage sale. You can just
Speaker 1 00:47:15 Drop it off. I might, I might. I'll just leave it on the front porch.
Speaker 2 00:47:18 You'll, yeah. Just not going anywhere. If somebody walks away with it, they wanna away from it, you know? That's, that's it. Um, you know, I, I don't think I'm gonna do the dumpster. I don't think I'm gonna do the dumpster, cuz even if I don't sell it, I'm gonna call like the, there's like a Veteran's Association out. They're like, we'll pick up anything you got. Oh, that's cool. And then like, all the toys I don't sell, I'm just gonna take it to, uh, one of the shelters and be like, here you
Speaker 1 00:47:41 Go. Yeah. That's
Speaker 2 00:47:43 Good. Like, we'll, we'll see. And I'm hoping, I know that you can still like, adopt a family on Christmas, so we're gonna try and do that this year. Cool. Um, my mom, I remember my mom used to do this all the time, and it's something that just kinda left my memory. And when I was talking to her the other day and I told her like, what I was trying to do, she's like, yeah, don't you remember what we did this? Remember we went down to, um, Artesia and we met that great Hispanic family. And I was like, holy shit, I forgot that we used to do that. But yeah, we would adopt a family and, you know, we'd get presents, we'd wrap 'em up and then we go knocking on someone's door and we're like, Merry Christmas. Here's a bunch of shit. And, you know, it was like, it was crazy that I, it's, here's, I'm trying to figure out a way to put this.
Speaker 2 00:48:32 That doesn't sound selfish, but it's just such an awesome feeling to be able to do something so small for somebody else that means the world to 'em. Yeah, totally. You know, like, you, you think that some, like you, you donate stuff to good will, but they're just trashing the shit they can't use and selling it back to other people. But when you can actually give something to somebody, be like, focus on whatever you need to do, but I hope this makes your day, your week, your month, or your year better. Like, that's it. That's awesome. Yeah. So like, I can't wait. I, I want to take my kid on there, but if I think if he sees me giving away some of his little toys, he might lose his shit. <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:49:06 That's, uh, yeah. It's always a, a tricky thing when you're trying to, we just did a toy purge and like, it's like hiding like nuclear codes, like from a kit. It's like they can't see that shit. We, uh, like it was Miles, got a bunch of presents for his birthday, few not, you know, whatever. People were kind enough to give Miro presents too, so we had shit to open. And one of the things he opened was a card that we had given away like a year ago for miles. And Miles was like, I was looking for that <laugh>. It's like, well there it is. Welcome back. <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:49:38 Oh, that's great stuff. I, I brought this up a couple, uh, last year, a couple years ago, uh, one of our first Christmas episodes in the pod. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. That one thing I used to do when I was a kid is, you know, around end of summer I would find something that my brother or sister like, liked but didn't use. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And I'd steal it and hide it and then I'd wrap it up and give it back to him on Christmas.
Speaker 1 00:50:02 And that's like the most Bart Simpson shit in the world. <laugh>. Yeah. Like, it
Speaker 2 00:50:06 Took me a while to under, like, they would get mad and then it'd be like this joke and it took me a while. I'm like, what do you mean? Like, this is dope. I don't have any money to give you shit. Like, what do you, and then I got old and I'm just like, huh,
Speaker 1 00:50:20 What
Speaker 2 00:50:21 A stupid thing to do.
Speaker 1 00:50:23 <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:50:24 I'm imagining somebody like taking something from me. I'm like, fuck, I can't find this thing anywhere. Whatever. It's gone. <laugh> it's, and then opening up a present where I'm like, I wonder what I got. Oh, it's this thing I'm looking for that you obviously
Speaker 1 00:50:35 Took. Oh, it's my used headphones. Awesome.
Speaker 2 00:50:37 Thank you. Thank
Speaker 1 00:50:38 You. Dickhead <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:50:40 I remember I took my, I wrapped up my brother's old bike lock
Speaker 1 00:50:43 <laugh>. Like,
Speaker 2 00:50:44 You know, like we would have some, like my mom got us all bike locks that were like our favorite colors and like, we got to set our own codes and they were like gel around it. So it looked cool. And like brother wasn't riding his bike and when he did, we just used my bike lock to lock him up together. So I stole his, took it, hit it under my mattress and then Christmas took it up, wrapped it in foil, put a fucking bow on it, stuck it with a little note that said a renza. And he is like, that's my backlog, isn't it? I'm like, I dunno, maybe we should open it.
Speaker 1 00:51:11 Oh, you're good.
Speaker 2 00:51:12 You boy, this year. Who knows? I Santa. Okay. <laugh>. Um, Hey, should there be a mascot for Thanksgiving that's not a pilgrim or a fucking indigenous person or a dead Turkey?
Speaker 1 00:51:23 I'm happy with a Turkey. You
Speaker 2 00:51:24 Happy with a Turkey?
Speaker 1 00:51:25 A Turkey with a pilgrim hat. And don't explain it all. Yeah. It's like, why is he wearing that hat? It's not important. <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:51:31 Like,
Speaker 1 00:51:32 I, he's just happy to be here.
Speaker 2 00:51:33 I, I don't think Turkey a Turkey day. I just,
Speaker 1 00:51:39 I dunno. Some sort of like hideous pumpkin pie.
Speaker 2 00:51:42 I, I, I don't know man. Like, it's weird that Thanksgiving, like Halloween, it's weird that Halloween is the 31st and yet it's a toss up when it's gonna land. And Thanksgiving is the last Thursday of the month.
Speaker 1 00:51:55 I, um, why? I don't know religious reasons. I don't know.
Speaker 2 00:52:00 It doesn't make sense. It has to be for a reason. I don't like turkeys that much. Like, <laugh> might be a personal thing. Like I know you like Thanksgiving For me it's me.
Speaker 1 00:52:12 Yeah, that's
Speaker 2 00:52:13 Fine. It's, it's me. Yeah. I don't, I'm, we, we'll see what happens. But, um, are you ever gonna try and cook with your, uh, are they still too young
Speaker 1 00:52:22 To No, we're definitely trying to try some stuff. Like, uh, miles is definitely interested, like trying to cook. Uh, he usually helps with, uh, cracking
Speaker 2 00:52:31 Eggs, man. Those quotation marks, those air quotes. Doing some heavy lifting right now.
Speaker 1 00:52:35 Cracking eggs. There's usually Jim smashing eggs on the counter. He'll do like one pretty good and the next one just like, it's like Right. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much. So he's interested cuz like, we're cook, you know, we cook. So like he wants to get on the action. He helps stir the pod, pod and do other things. Like he'll get in on it, but, um, yeah, he's into it.
Speaker 2 00:52:54 Yeah. I, there's always this like, short window when they're into it and then something their brain clicks. It's like tornado time <laugh> where
Speaker 1 00:53:02 Like,
Speaker 2 00:53:03 You know, I've tried it with Ozo or like, Hey, we're gonna make a pizza. You know, he's making all the ingredients and I guess it was my fault when I did like the,
Speaker 1 00:53:11 Uh, you doing Salt Bay?
Speaker 2 00:53:13 I did the Salt Bay. Oh no. And so he took it and just a hand and I just grabbed his hand at the last second. He reached his other hand and was like, BA I'm like, all right, we're gonna eat the saltiest pizza of all time.
Speaker 1 00:53:22 Great. That's one of like, the worst things is when you're funny in front of your kid. Oh. Oh. It's the like, cuz like, ugh. I know. It was funny. You just, it's like a jokes. You don't have to do 'em over and over again. We just do 'em one time here, kid. Like, you don't have to repeat it. It's not signing out live. You have to do it every week.
Speaker 2 00:53:36 It, it, it's honestly some things that I understand about my parents more cuz like, they got funnier as I got older. Yeah. And I'm like, where the fuck was this <laugh>? And I guess they learned like, no, it's hard serious shit. So they like, cuz if my dad was making the same jokes of my mom pulling the same pranks when I was a kid, man I would've been wild <laugh>. I would've been outta control and I was pretty outta control. So like, it, it, I get it now. I get it now. But yeah. Being in funny, funny in front of your kids.
Speaker 1 00:54:02 Yeah. Like, oh no. Now you're gonna be funny too. Yeah. And your funny's a lot more destructive than mine.
Speaker 2 00:54:07 Yeah. And you don't know. I'm
Speaker 1 00:54:09 Cerebral. You're more physical.
Speaker 2 00:54:10 <laugh> slapstick. I remember, um, OZO just recently, like, I had, like, I got on one knee to explain to him like, Hey, when you put things down you have to place them. Cuz if you break it, it's gonna go away or it's gonna go on time out. Cause I'll be like, Hey, put down your iPad. He just frisbees it across the room. I'm like, Hey, put your, put your dishes away. And he like, literally goes like Tracy McGrady at the sink, reverse dunks it into the back of the sink. I'm like, stop doing
Speaker 1 00:54:37 That. Yeah. Same exact deal. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:54:39 It's just like, launches a spoon and I'm like, there's a window there, bro. What are you doing <laugh>? You know, like you, when I say put something down, it doesn't mean spike it into the core of the planet. It just means place it down <laugh>. So like, I, I get it. I understand. These are the things that I learn. I, there's things you have to address. Don't laugh in front of your kids. Beat them if you have to. Less
Speaker 1 00:55:01 Alone. Don't be funny.
Speaker 2 00:55:03 Don't be funny. Beat. And if they
Speaker 1 00:55:05 Oh and if they're funny, don't
Speaker 2 00:55:06 Acknowledge it. Do not acknowledge it. Just straight face. Yeah. They'll be like, Ooh, okay.
Speaker 1 00:55:11 Okay. God, my thought was funny.
Speaker 2 00:55:13 <laugh>, Shannon's the worst at that shit. She literally has to leave the room and I'm like, OZO, he'll do something. And he is like, Hey. Yeah. And then Shannon's like sprints outta the room and like, I don't know if Ozo thinks Shannon has like a bladder problem or some shit now, but I'm like sitting there trying to be straight face and James's just like facing the shirt. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:55:31 Handle
Speaker 2 00:55:32 It. Yeah. Just like, can't deal with it. Like, she's like, that's too funny. I'm like, you got it. Listen. Giggles, you can't do that.
Speaker 1 00:55:38 No. This is the fifth time I put a shoe on it. It's not funny. Yeah. <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:55:44 Yeah. It's fucking kids.
Speaker 1 00:55:46 Yeah man. Ugh.
Speaker 2 00:55:48 Yeah. God damn it. We always, it's so funny on this pod. Well like, whether we're talking about politics or policy or lifestyle sports, there'll be this point where we talk about our kids and we both exhale and there's this like, moment of silence. <laugh> that it's just true Dad. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:56:07 True.
Speaker 2 00:56:08 Fucking dad. Like spot on dad stuff. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Ugh. Well, uh, I, uh, we're gonna take another break. I, uh, I don't wanna keep talking about my transition to minimalism cuz it's not gonna go well. I already got like four boxes by the door. Stuff that I got <laugh>. I'm like, uh, I'm gonna wait until I open this until I realize I don't need it a month later. But hey guys, uh, we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be back with more. Pop it on. Preach. There it is. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>.
Speaker 2 00:56:59 Yo. Yo yo guys, thank you for sticking around. You have reached the end of our podcast and we're gonna be doing something a little different. Now. This is, uh, a joint papa's pulpit, but we're gonna kick it off with Kanye's Corner. For those of you who are new, um, this is a segment within a segment. Uh, Papa's pulpit is where we sit down and we rant about something that's either getting on our nerves, something that's rubbing us the wrong way, something that's grinding in our gears. And, um, Kanye's Corner is usually just an update on what's going on with the heat. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And we are combining the two because we have a lot of thoughts and we're gonna get into it right now. First up,
Speaker 2 00:57:36 I haven't said this. I mean, I've said this enough. Kinde needs good friends in his corner. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> like, um, Dave Chappelle's on SNL hosted it last week. And I was talking to one of my friends who's Jewish and I told him about there is an unspoken sort of resentment when it comes to the black community towards Jewish people, but it doesn't fall down to antisemitism. But if you look at the history of the music industry, which has been predominantly Jewish run mm-hmm. <affirmative>, uh, both with producers, owners of labels, you have some of the biggest hits on the planet where these people from 30, 40 year, 50 years ago walking around broke because these like Motown, like all these companies just like raped them mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And it is very ignorant to sit there and say, I don't like the Jews because of this one industry that predominantly is Jewish. And put that on an entire race that is exactly what they've been trying to like white people have been doing to black people, to Hispanic people, to Asian people. It's like, leave that shit at the board. It's, you can say something about it with like, and have a conversation about it. Like, yeah. That is weird how that is there. But you can't label something as like this evil underground cabal like, waiting to get taken over. Like, fucking Kanye's a god damn God damn. I,
Speaker 1 00:59:06 Uh, I saw he had to stop, um, production or stop like development on his Malibu beach house, which is super sad.
Speaker 3 00:59:17 <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:59:20 Oh
Speaker 1 00:59:20 Yeah. And the picture they used, he looked like he, he looked sad all the time. Now maybe they just picked the saddest pictures of him, but I haven't seen that man smile in half a decade,
Speaker 2 00:59:27 Bro. This dude has been on a self-sabotage tour. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> like, usually
Speaker 1 00:59:34 When it even worse than the tour, he didn't, he just wore mask the whole time. Dude, I just, or when he laid down for an entire tour. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:59:42 <laugh> like, we all know he's a fucking weirdo man. The guy's got mental health issues, but like in, no matter what he's trying to say, he is saying it wrong. And he needs to understand that. Like, I had a conversation that, you know, Kanye spent an entire tour disparaging black people joining this MAGA movement being a fucking Tom, upsetting people saying the wrong shit. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 01:00:07 <affirmative>, nobody handing out why Lives Matter shirts.
Speaker 2 01:00:09 Yeah. Nobody dropped him. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. But you know, when he says he's gonna go Defcon three on the Jews and that the Jews are coming for him, everybody dropped him. Like, I, I don't know if it's the straw that broke the camel's back, but
Speaker 1 01:00:21 I think it's the Holocaust that broke the camels back <laugh>. I think anytime anyone starts despairing the Jews, uh, I think it's just like, oh, well I I, we did this before and it very poorly so let's, um, let's stop it right now. Everyone everyone stop it right now. Like,
Speaker 2 01:00:37 I don't even know if you meant to say def con three. Cause like it doesn't mean that you're going after anybody just means like you're
Speaker 1 01:00:44 No, I mean it's a heightened level of uh, a threat.
Speaker 2 01:00:46 Yeah. Like, he's just like, I'm gonna sure up my defenses cuz something's coming for me.
Speaker 1 01:00:51 But I think that like, you know, he
Speaker 2 01:00:53 Probably didn't even mean that he probably meant something aggressive, but he's too dumb to know what the fuck he's talking about.
Speaker 1 01:00:57 No, I mean, you know, it's like, like old Elon Musk taking over Twitter, like all of his most recent tweets, it's like, oh, oh, oh, you are an idiot. You, and then I saw like, someone had like posted court documents of like, like his educational career and it's like, oh my, we have the same amount of education. <laugh> Oh my goodness. My bachelor's in arts is very similar to your
Speaker 2 01:01:22 Degree. Dude, Elon. Like, he doesn't understand how like, I, whether he is like, I think he's on the spectrum or whatever. I
Speaker 1 01:01:30 Sure. He's social alive and center live. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 01:01:32 He's, he's on the spectrum. He's socially awkward. You can't take over a social media company if you don't understand social cues. <laugh> like, it doesn't make fucking sense. No
Speaker 1 01:01:41 One has been brave enough to make that point. Yeah.
Speaker 2 01:01:43 I just like, it's like, you know, him walking into Twitter with a sink, be like, it means let it sink in. It's kind of like w dude, somebody come home, just motherfucker's
Speaker 1 01:01:55 Hand. No. Like, you know, offering the ultimatum email over, you know, the next week's fucking Thanksgiving. Yeah. You know what severance it is. Yeah. Asshole. Like had to shut the, had to shut the company down cuz too many people quit.
Speaker 2 01:02:08 Dude. Like, how do you not have the foresight to be like, Hey, you have to buy a blue check mark. And then everybody's just making parody. He's like, oh, you didn't see that company. You're like, don't we have an department for this? Yeah. You fired
Speaker 1 01:02:19 Them. You fired 'em all. You
Speaker 2 01:02:20 Fired the company. That's like, yo, that's not like the department that would've told you that's a bad idea. And explained to you why in very layman's turn. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, you canem
Speaker 1 01:02:28 <laugh>. And like he was, you know, the modern Tony Stark in a lot of people's, you know, like saw him as like this not, I mean, I guess folk hero, folk hero character. Like a Paul Bunion that's gonna save our problems. Dude,
Speaker 2 01:02:39 This dude has been breaking promises for So where's our heart
Speaker 1 01:02:42 Loop?
Speaker 2 01:02:42 Yeah. Where's our space elevator? Like this dude is, he's been coming up with useless fucking ideas for a very fucking long time. He has not explained what happens to a lithium battery once it fucking dies. If we're gonna start making buildings out of them. Like in Wally, just taking over a whole fucking town. Remember when the fucking kids were trapped in the fucking mine in the Philippines? He's like, I have a submarine that doesn't fit. I'm on my
Speaker 1 01:03:06 Way. Yeah. And then he called some guy a pedophile and
Speaker 2 01:03:09 The guy's like, that's not gonna work. He's like, you're a
Speaker 1 01:03:10 Pedophile, <laugh>,
Speaker 2 01:03:11 Here's his address. You're like, bro, you're not helping.
Speaker 1 01:03:14 This is not helping. This
Speaker 2 01:03:16 Is not about you. It's like, it's, it's wild. But yeah.
Speaker 1 01:03:19 Wild times.
Speaker 2 01:03:21 But yeah, I mean, Kanye is a person that just needs, people need to stop putting a fucking camera in front of him. He needs to shut the fuck up. He needs to concentrate on being a dad. He's a fuck. He has a family now. And like, I don't understand how somebody can be so ignorant to not see the irreparable damage you're doing to your fucking children right now. It's
Speaker 1 01:03:43 The same, you know, the emperor the, the story of the emperor not having any clothes. It's like that's, it always works in this scenario. It's like people are just keep telling you that. Like how fucking great you look. Yeah. Until you realize, until like, oh, you know, your dick gets caught in the door. You know, <laugh>
Speaker 2 01:03:58 Dude. There, there, there is like a sensitivity to Jewish people, which I can completely sympathize with. Yeah. But the media does not help when they do go scorch earth on anybody who says anything bad about the Jews. Instead of like, putting it in fucking context. Like, Kanye's a fucking moron. He's not some fucking political leader. You know, he's a fucking moron rapper who said something. He was openingly threatening his wife, like belittling his kids. Fucking threatening Pete Davidson. He said black, like he said slavery was a goddamn choice. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, you know, he has done some insane shit and all these fucking companies stayed with him. You know, like, remember Adidas Jo like signed him after all that shit. Yeah. Only dropped him when he started dissing the Jews. Cuz I understand they're Germans. They're like Uhuh. We're not with him. We're not with
Speaker 1 01:04:54 Him. Yeah. That's the thing. The Germans the very first thing. They're like, uhm, we did it. Yeah. The very, you know, we did this once before.
Speaker 2 01:05:00 No, no, no. Kanye, you fucked up. Yeah. Like,
Speaker 1 01:05:04 I, I mean I think, um, oh, how rough is how this might be like earth scorching Take go ahead. Uh, I don't know. It's because like, I think people, I don't know if I wanna say this Take on
Speaker 2 01:05:18 <laugh>. Nope. You gotta say it. Remember, we have a rule. It's, it's
Speaker 1 01:05:20 Hard to finish it. It's because they're white like <laugh>. I mean, is it because they're a white minority? Like that's, and I think that's a fucked up thing to say. Nope. Uh, but I think that may be the facts of like, whatever, you could say shit about slavery. You could say all kind of wild shit about, uh, African American people in this country. Um, and be a okay and continue to be elected officials. But I think the second, you know, you speak about Jewish people and also, you know, like, we're not gonna play like what's wor what's worse, the slavery of the Holocaust <laugh> tonight. Like, we're not gonna play that game. But they're both pretty fucking awful games to play. Like two of the, you know, the worst things that ever happened to society, you know, humans, society. Uh, and I think that if you, uh, are disparaged on either one of those things, I think you should get the fuck outta
Speaker 2 01:06:01 Here. Yes. Very, very true. Very, very true. Um, well you guys, that's the end of Kanye's Corner because he's a jackass. Um, one last touch on Kyrie Irving. I was telling everyone that I'm more mad at Kyrie Irving, uh, than I am at Kanye. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, because Kyrie's been in the news saying stupid shit. And for him not to see like, just the temperature of things right now, and to tweet out a fucking movie that has antisemitic tropes with no caption and then played this fucking victim, this whiny baby, like, I don't know, to explain myself. I'm not gonna talk to you guys, have made up your mind. I'm like, bro, don't start a conversation if you're not willing to fucking have it. So like, these people on the other side there are like, oh, you can't say anything now. You're gonna get canceled immediately. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2 01:06:51 Like, you can say something, you can say something. But Kyrie is not the fucking person right now to be the poster child of free fucking speech. Because free thinking and ignorance are riding this razor thin line right now with some people. And you, like Dave Chappelle said this in snl, was like, oh, you can't have a conversation anymore. Kyrie wasn't trying to have a conversation. He, he tweeted out something with no context. Yeah. No caption, no words. And then when people are like, what the fuck? He's like, I don't wanna talk about it. You guys are just gonna make fun of me. Oh, he come, come after me. Be like, bro, fuck you. Yeah, fuck
Speaker 1 01:07:27 You. No context. Which I mean, in the context that we were talking about it briefly about the show is that like he, you know, he thinks he's black. You know, the idea of it being a black Israelite, like Yeah. One of the lost tribes being black and uh, he's one of it. Yeah. It's like a, you know, it's not like a, a far you know, like people hold that opinion. Yeah.
Speaker 2 01:07:44 Like, that's completely fine. You guys are coming
Speaker 1 01:07:47 To hold up about it.
Speaker 2 01:07:48 <laugh>, you're coming after a dude who thinks the world is flat. You, you're looking at a dude who fucking forfeited millions of dollars to sit out because he didn't wanna get a fucking vaccine. He could've got the j and j shot and said that was it. I did. And now I'm like, it was useless. They're like, yo, we hit you with a fucking little bit of sugar. That's about it. Like he
Speaker 1 01:08:05 Could, there's all that baby powder they had to recall. Yeah.
Speaker 2 01:08:07 <laugh>. But yeah, man, this motherfucker is stupid. And I, I, I'm kind of done, done with these dudes saying stupid shit and like get like fainting this like cancel like this whole bug of cancel culture. Like, oh, I'm being canceled cause I said something stupid like, this is what you believe in. Explain yourself. Cuz there might be somebody on the other side who can explain it to you. Yeah. Can educate you on something. Because a lot of this stuff isn't born of hate. It's born of ignorance. And when we can have an actual conversation with those ignorant people and be like, yo, I understand what you're saying, but this is what, what you like, this is why what you said is hurtful. You can start a conversation, but, you know, nobody came for Kyrie Irving immediately. They were just like, uhoh, here he goes again. And then he doubled down and like, I'm not gonna talk about it. And then the fucking NBA burned him and you're like, fuck you moron. Fucking up my bets right now. <laugh>, god damn my
Speaker 1 01:09:06 Out-of-state bets.
Speaker 2 01:09:07 Yeah. Shit, I
Speaker 1 01:09:08 Can't
Speaker 2 01:09:08 Be in California. Thank you very much. The people of California. Um, but yeah, I, you know, like, like I said, people, we got a lot in our pulpits today. Um, yeah.
Speaker 1 01:09:18 If, uh, if I'm not here next week, we all know why.
Speaker 2 01:09:20 Yes. <laugh> uh, the whites, um,
Speaker 1 01:09:24 <laugh>.
Speaker 2 01:09:25 But yeah, just to finish out this fucking pulpit, like Bennett and I are equally annoyed by this last motherfucker, 21 savage. There's god deported immigrant fucking, he says that Naz is irrelevant and just to, who cares what he says? Yes. But what the fuck is going on in hip hop when these young morons start saying shit about some of the greatest rappers of all time?
Speaker 1 01:09:54 It's, you know, I'm not, you know, I definitely like, I like me some hip-hop. I'm not like, not, I'm not the biggest connoisseur in a bunch of shit. But like most of the time when I hear some modern music, I uh, I'm like, what is this garbage? And it's not like that with pop music or other genres. Like no, I think there's exciting music being made in all genres, but like, for some reason that like the tattooed face individuals, it's garbage. That style is fucking sucks, dude.
Speaker 2 01:10:18 It's just garbage. This motherfucking blue face thinking that he invented wrapping off beat. No, it's called bad rapping
Speaker 1 01:10:24 <laugh>. Yeah. It sucks. It's, it's, it's not fun to listen to.
Speaker 2 01:10:26 It's like, that sucks man. Like what are you doing like this for this motherfucker, for this motherfucker right now to come out and say that, like, what was his last album? Sales. They're okay. His last song. Has anybody name 'em? No. Mm-hmm. Like
Speaker 1 01:10:41 You're no one. No one over 25.
Speaker 2 01:10:44 I've never heard of a fucking 20 year old who has become irrelevant referring to someone who helped pave the way in his industry. Call that person. Irrelevant. Yeah. It's like some fucking snake heat in the tail shit right here. Or borrows like, it doesn't make any fucking sense. And there's been like this fucking weird trend. Like, you remember Machine Gun Kelly like calling out m and m saying that he's not that good of a rapper.
Speaker 1 01:11:11 Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 01:11:11 Yeah. That was not good for machine guns.
Speaker 1 01:11:13 No, I mean that's Eminem m and m knows what he's doing there. Yeah. It's, that one was brutal. Yeah. That's another thing is I, I dunno a lot about hip hop, but, uh, my brother who does will always send me a good disc track. And that, that was one. He is like, you gotta listen to this shit <laugh>. Like, it was so brutal that like, he doesn't rap anymore. He's like, okay, think I'm done. Like, I think I'm gonna do something else. I'll do like a punk rock or whatever.
Speaker 2 01:11:34 I'll do punk rock. I'm gonna marry Megan Fox and Star in some movies. Cause I think hip hop's just a little too hard.
Speaker 1 01:11:39 It's like, it's a little, that's a little tough for me.
Speaker 2 01:11:40 It's like lesson learned. At least he learned his lesson. You know, he'll come back. He have a comeback album. He'll have the greatest hits <laugh>, he'll include M and m's Disc track on there. You guys remember this
Speaker 1 01:11:49 A bonus? Yeah.
Speaker 2 01:11:50 Fucking, uh, fucking little Yachty says that, uh, fucking notorious b i is overrated.
Speaker 1 01:12:01 And it's, it's like, you know, bi you know, biggie only has a couple albums to, you know, doesn't his his repertoire is in deep, but you know, so deep put her ass to sleep. Yeah. <laugh>. But he, uh,
Speaker 2 01:12:14 Down. Yeah. Big pun
Speaker 1 01:12:16 <laugh>. I, uh, I don't know. I think it's, uh, you shouldn't attack the ones that went before you at all. Like in any, you know, any kind of genre like that. Like the people that like made your music better and be like, no, they were terrible.
Speaker 2 01:12:28 Dude. Michael Rappaport said it best. Like, it shows in your music when you don't respect the people who paved the way. Like it shows
Speaker 1 01:12:37 Can hear it. Yeah, I can hear.
Speaker 2 01:12:38 I I understand that this fucking nursery rhyme rapper doesn't think that Nas is good because this shit is outside of his thinking. Like he doesn't understand it. Fucking, I like dude one mic. If I rule the world fucking ether. Like they don't fucking understand. They don't understand. Um, for those of you out there who have ever heard of this rapper named Kodak Black, if you haven't, then this is my pleasure. I'll wait 10 seconds. Google Kodak Black with a K, pull it up. Kodak Black. That motherfucker says <laugh>. That dumb ass motherfucker says that he is better than Tupac and Biggie. Now he might have been talking shit, but they had him on the Breakfast Club and he doubled down. Everybody was like, bro, what are you talking about? Yeah. Like he doesn't make sense when he talks. He does not make sense when he talks
Speaker 1 01:13:34 How it's, I mean the, the balls to say that you're better than like the two most influential rappers of the decade.
Speaker 2 01:13:41 Dude. Like, fuck. And the thing about Tupac too is that his fucking catalog was so deep that he is got an album coming out next fucking week. Yeah. And he's been dead for fucking 15 years. <laugh>. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> like, come on bro. Like,
Speaker 1 01:13:55 Like Tupac was better in digital underground than he'll ever be. That's
Speaker 2 01:13:59 <laugh>.
Speaker 1 01:14:01 Tupac was better dancing in the background <laugh> of that one music video
Speaker 2 01:14:05 All around the world. Same song. <laugh>. Yeah. Like this is something I'm gonna have to instill in my kid and I suggest everyone out there do to your kid just respect your fucking elders. Know what the fuck you're talking about. But like, I can draw a straight line from the ignorance on social media when you see a tweet from Kyrie not reading the temperature, knowing that he should understand what the fuck he's saying before he says something to fucking 21 Savage saying that Naz is irrelevant. When, who the fuck has heard of 21 Savage? Like I know who he is because I'm plugged in. But most people reading that were like, I Google 21 Savage.
Speaker 1 01:14:47 Is it a, is it people? Is it how many of them are? Yeah, he would,
Speaker 2 01:14:50 21 Savage was deported.
Speaker 1 01:14:52 Right? There's not, there's not 20 of them. There's one of them, right?
Speaker 2 01:14:54 There's there's one s there's 21, there's only one Savage.
Speaker 1 01:14:57 It's not the crazy 88 No <laugh>. That's just a number. <laugh>.
Speaker 2 01:15:01 It was actually 46 of the crazy 88 Weird <laugh>. Uh, I'm, oh fuck. I forgot to tell you, I met somebody from the Blue Man group. Oh, this is
Speaker 1 01:15:11 True. Yeah. Like were was he, did he, was he blown?
Speaker 2 01:15:13 No, no. He was, he was working on our show. He was working our show. He was the piano to he, like one of our acts had to play the piano and he came to like, uh, you know, tune the piano. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And that's what he does. And you know, we were asking him questions cuz it's very interesting to meet a piano tuner and like, how do you get in there? And he's like, oh yeah, it's to be in Blue Man Group. We're like, whoa. What? What? Yeah, you're a blue man. And then like as we're talking to him, he is like, there's like 70 of us. We're like, wait, what? We're like, wait, what let we understand? He's like, no, no. Yeah, there's, there's, we have regions and like, you know. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes like, you know, the New York, there's like a New York one, there's a Florida one, there's some in The's.

Speaker 2 01:15:52 I had no idea.
Speaker 1 01:15:53 I'm
Speaker 2 01:15:53 Sorry. I had no idea. It was like, I just found out the tooth fairy wasn't real <laugh>. I thought they were, you're not, you're
Speaker 1 01:15:59 Not one of
Speaker 2 01:16:00 The blue men. I'm like, oh my God, why
Speaker 1 01:16:01 Are you not blue right
Speaker 2 01:16:02 Now? Dude, he showed us a picture of him all done up. I'm like, oh my God, I can't tell you apart from any of you <laugh>. Like, why did you show me that picture? You get a fucking screenshot of that off blue. Yeah. Like, get the fuck outta here. But yeah, it was really cool. It was cool to meet a blue man. Tell us all the little secrets of blue man.
Speaker 1 01:16:19 Is he, is he all blue? Yeah. Is that one of the I was like, so
Speaker 2 01:16:23 When you a scout map the drapes <laugh>. Yeah. He is bald and blue down there if that's what you're asking. <laugh> like a Ken doll just blue. Yeah.
Speaker 1 01:16:32 That's the only question I want to know. Okay. <laugh>. Right. See, thanks for tuning the piano <laugh>.
Speaker 2 01:16:39 Oh man. So yeah. Um, all you youngins fucking know your goddamn place. Like if I ruled the world, I would tell 21 Savage. You have been, you have officially been canceled for your words.
Speaker 1 01:16:53 I, uh, you can <laugh>. Sorry I throw you off there completely. That's okay. It's okay. I, uh, I just did a show, one of my recent shows, NAS was a guest on it. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, um, and like by the people on set and the amount of people like excited to see him, um, he, they seemed very relevant. Still <laugh>. Yeah. <laugh>, everyone was like of all the other guests on that show I was doing as an interview show, he was the one that most people were like super fucking pumped to see and be around.
Speaker 2 01:17:19 It's crazy. Like, you can't call somebody irrelevant. Cause I guarantee if Nas like went on fucking Instagram live right now and said, yeah, I'm gonna go in the studio. I'm gonna have an album out by June. That's all anybody will be talking about until June. Yeah. Like, shut the fuck up 21 Savage. And what a stupid name.
Speaker 1 01:17:36 I hate it. I hate it so much.
Speaker 2 01:17:40 21, 21. Um, but yeah, I, I sometimes this is just cl chasing, you know, like his publicist is probably like, yo, you gotta dis somebody. He's like, how about Nas? They're like, uh, it's like, listen, I know what I'm doing. I'm 21 Savage. I'm like, okay, <laugh> just releases a statement. They're like, yeah, that was not chill. Um, but now, hey, good 21 years elegant. No
Speaker 1 01:18:00 Get like, you have to be like kind of a shithead. Like I understand like publicly, like if you're trying to be that kind of shithead guy with a bunch of face tattoos, like talking shit. Yeah. I understand. It's part of the character. Like I get that part of it. You just, you just suck. Like you're a shithead. Like I get it
