I don't know what it does for the people at the state level, though. Like, if you have a state conviction, I know they're urging states to like, Yo, if somebody's in jail right now, you're, uh, you know, at their county jail for some fucking weed, let 'em go. Speaker 0 00:04:25 I also think he's looking to reclassify it Speaker 1 00:04:27 Too. Yes. Which is, this is insane. Yeah. It's, this is one of those things that we live with, but it's like, Come on, bro. It's Speaker 0 00:04:34 Like, on the same Yeah.

Me Speaker 0 00:05:14 Too. I mean, it's definitely like we, you know, we're talking about a little bit earlier, like, it's, it's a, something on his campaign he talked about like, like got people out to vote for him. Maybe it's a, you know, it's a political thing as he is a fucking politician. Like, Exactly. It's Speaker 1 00:05:26 Like Speaker 0 00:05:26 Everything politics coming up. Of Speaker 1 00:05:28 Course. Or he's just doing this for politics. Oh, really? A politician's doing something for politics. Oh, no. Speaker 0 00:05:32 Weird <laugh>.

Yep. I know people like her name's Kamala. I'm like, now it's whatever. Anyway, Ms. Harris, Miss Vice President Harris, Vice President Harris <laugh>. Um, Yeah, we were just talking about like, if, and I understand that politicians don't do this nowadays because it's either seen as weakness or pointless. But if you were to just come out and be like, Yo, as a da, I had a hard line. I did some shit. I did my job. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. It was the way it was. Now I hear you. I hear the country. I, I'll do everything in my power. I can rectify this. I would've been like, Fuck. Yeah. Speaker 0 00:06:50 Yeah. I think that'd be a popular move, but I don't think that's like a, It's not a political move. Yeah. I say it's a person, it's like a stuff that a human being would do. And once you become a politician, I think you kind of throw your human being card out the window. You Speaker 1 00:07:01 Just get, they take it at the door. You Speaker 0 00:07:03 Yeah. Like, Oh yeah, you don't need this anymore. <laugh>. Just take your empathy. Like, we'll put that right over there. Oh, Speaker 1 00:07:08 We got a couple leftover souls in the Soul bucket.

And we haven't been talking Speaker 0 00:07:45 About it? No. I think now he's gonna start like scrambling. I think he's been playing the scrambling, hiding my money game for a long time. Speaker 1 00:07:50 Oh my God. Speaker 0 00:07:51 Because he, I, you know, it's like, I'm really happy because fuck, I mean, fuck him. And like, the people that are like, Ooh, Tru, it's his fir it's First Amendment. Like, you know, your, your Taylor Greens and the people that are coming out to support mm-hmm. <affirmative>. It's like, just because you could say what you want in this country doesn't mean you have consequences. Like, especially what you shit, you know, what you say, uh, you know, Garners fucking, uh, you know, he was saying that like they weren't faking it, that their kids weren't murdered. They were calling him crisis actor. Like he was doing, People had had to move this shit. Yeah. People Speaker 1 00:08:22 Had to move. Their lives were being threatening. People were getting sent threatening letters. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, Speaker 0 00:08:26 Like by his words, like, by his freedom of speech. Yeah. That mean you're not free of consequences. Speaker 1 00:08:31 I saw this, I saw this, uh, this story that, um, like, it was like a year after the Parkland shooting when he was still like digging into it. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, he was pulling in $800,000 a week, $800,000 a week. He was at like 50 million views. Like crazy Shit. That's nuts. It Speaker 0 00:08:52 Is nuts.

Like, um, this fucking towed with arms is fucking right. Speaker 0 00:09:02 Yeah. It's like this screaming pimple is like, he's at a point <laugh> like, Speaker 1 00:09:07 What I see Alex Jones, there's nothing about him that screams like, you know, truth and honesty, Speaker 0 00:09:13 Credibility, but like Speaker 1 00:09:14 Credibility whatsoever. Speaker 0 00:09:16 Once again, Donald Trump was our president. Like, it's, he, he somehow managing events half the country. I, Speaker 1 00:09:21 I wish they would stop playing these stories of like, people talking to Trump supporters and they'd be like, all, you know, he's, he just says what no one else cares to say. Like, what? You know, he just speaks the truth. Like, what? You know, he's just a man's man. You're just like, just say what you wanna say, man. Speaker 0 00:09:36 It's, it's because they, I mean, alright, this is, this is a sizzling hot take. Speaker 1 00:09:39 Oh, let's see it. Speaker 0 00:09:40 I think his biggest supporters are, you know, are idiots. Like, I think Jesus Speaker 1 00:09:43 Christ <laugh>. Are you saying there's deplorable Speaker 0 00:09:46 People out there? Not even deplore. Not, no, they're not deplorable. It's, it's almost, it's sad. Speaker 1 00:09:50 Oh, Speaker 0 00:09:51 Shit. It's because I just don't think they're smart enough to get the concepts. They're smart enough to get, like, how, how hard they're getting fucked by every direction, you know? Yeah. Like the people that are like God damn Obamacare. And then like, literally like, Where's my Obamacare <laugh>? It's that those are the people that are defending him. Like, people that were just fucked someone else despite themselves. You know, <laugh>, Speaker 1 00:10:10 I love that comic. I used to love those clips. So those dudes being like, uh, you know, What do you think about the Obamacare? I don't have Obamacare. I got the aca. Okay, Speaker 0 00:10:20 Buddy. Speaker 1 00:10:21 Yeah. All right. Moving on. Moving on. That's a deep joke for some of you guys out there. Um, so, um, I want to go into this LA story real quick cuz this thing like, you know, we record once a week and this, this, uh, Los Angeles County story has been a wild Speaker 0 00:10:39 Yeah. It made National wild ride, Speaker 1 00:10:40 You know, national news, Wild, wild ride. But, um, I think it was a year ago. A year ago in an hour long recorded to, And did they even talk about who recorded them? No, Speaker 0 00:10:52 I didn't get that. I didn't get that detailed. Did you hear Speaker 1 00:10:54 Players? Did we hear anything about it? Dunno. Yeah. All right. So there was Speaker 0 00:10:59 A, I'm assuming the ring camera. Yeah. <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:11:03 Um, there was a redistricting, uh, meeting last year at the city council. Kevin De uh, Deon Gill, uh, I think it's Clio Kio, Kio Sado, uh, Gil Sado, uh, Sado one, whatever. And then, uh, the city council President Neri Martinez, they were all caught on a hot mic, just like going in on black people, Like going in on the Oaxacan population in, uh, Koreatown, talking about redistricting black neighborhoods to have more power Speaker 0 00:11:38 For, They sounded like they were on this podcast. You, Speaker 1 00:11:41 Dude, Like, it was, it sounded like it, like, you know what was crazy about it? Uh, what was really, really crazy about it was just like, you know, the language that Nuri Martinez was using, like, when she was referring to this other congressman who happens to be a gay man with a black child, just like this little fucking pussy, this fucking bitch. Like, it Speaker 0 00:12:01 Was the, like, that's the thing that struck me. Speaker 1 00:12:03 Like homophobic language, like pointed Speaker 0 00:12:05 Language, the venom. And like, that's the part that like, guys like, Oh, okay. Yeah. Like, yeah, it Speaker 1 00:12:10 Was like, you know, and like, Speaker 0 00:12:11 Not even, No, it was like the, not the casual, like how easy she said all those words. Speaker 1 00:12:16 Yeah. It wasn't like, you know, she was like, I, I, you know, he's just, it is just a bitch, you know? It was like, this is like when this motherfucker calls her phone and says Bitch ass congressman on it. Yeah. <laugh> like, you know, fucking candy ass congressman. Like, she just, and like the, the problem is like, she's the only one that, that has resigned as of now. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, the rest of these dudes have not, and they're just like, you know, all care carrying water for each other, running cover. And I'm glad she's out there. But this sounds selfish. I, I'm glad these guys didn't resign. Like, I wanna see what happens at the polls. I wanna see if these guys keep their seats. I wanna see these guys get voted out, because I do think there is a lot of people, I think it's 50 50. Speaker 1 00:12:58 I think people are disgusted by that. And I think people are like, No, that's the guy I want, I want the guy, I want that motherfucker who's always thinking about us. Like, fuck everyone else. You know, I, I, I, I don't think I am wrong looking at the temperature of the, the country at the moment that people are very tribal. Yeah. But you know, I'm, I'm very interested to see what, uh, what happens. But God damn, like, holy shit, this woman fucking, like you said it, man. Fucking venom. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. It was, it, it was nice. It's wild. Yeah. Speaker 0 00:13:30 I Speaker 1 00:13:30 Wish we could make politicians Speaker 0 00:13:31 All on our Alexa too. Speaker 1 00:13:33 Yeah. <laugh>.

We call it a satellite Speaker 0 00:13:44 <laugh>. Yeah. Yeah. He is like Luther up there. I Speaker 1 00:13:46 Talking about space pooper. It's just a, it's just a room with a shitter and a fucking 200 inch screen <laugh>. Woo. Like I, we always try to compare Jeff Bezos to different villains and it's always less like, Nah, man, he's Dr. Evil. That's who he is. Yeah. He's literally, Dr. Evil. Dr. Evil flew into space on a giant dick and so did Bezos <laugh>. Like he is Dr. Evil. He's this bald motherfucker who just showed up outta nowhere, could have been frozen. Started, started small, you Speaker 0 00:14:14 Know, scrotum, shaved Speaker 1 00:14:16 <laugh>. Speaker 0 00:14:18 Some of my favorite jokes in the Speaker 1 00:14:19 Movie. I want drones with laser beams on them. <laugh>. Okay. Okay. Anyway, Segue, Uh, the bottom movie trailers came out. Yeah. Um, some Speaker 0 00:14:33 Good, some Okay.

The robot doll, which is, uh, was built to protect some young girl, but takes it a little too Speaker 0 00:14:52 Seriously. And you know, it's not gonna go. It's like, Oh no, that's not gonna go well. Speaker 1 00:14:56 It's Speaker 0 00:14:57 Like, oh, in the, I Speaker 1 00:14:58 Built a robot. Like, Okay, stop there. You got something? Speaker 0 00:15:00 All right, you got it All right, fine. It's gonna be an evil robot. There's no, it's like, And they were friends and it was a nice movie. It's not, obviously it's a horror movie. <laugh>. And the thing, it's like, like that Washington's like, Okay, robot's gonna go evil. Which she does, but it looks creepy. Like how they designed the design of her and how she moves looks creepy. That's worth, Yeah. Worth a watch, I think. Speaker 1 00:15:17 Yeah. I I, it's one of those movies I'm not gonna see in theaters, unfortunately. I'm gonna, I'm gonna put on my prime when it comes out. Maybe HBO Max. I'm not sure I'll catch it during the day. Cause I, you know, I don't wanna be nightmares, <laugh>. Um, there's, uh, that movie Old Man, which we all thought was Speaker 0 00:15:33 Yeah. When you sent me the trailer, I thought it was like the third in like, the old Speaker 1 00:15:37 Don't breathe man trailer. Yeah. Don't breathe. Like, so they have, don't breathe then, uh, then they have, Don't Breathe too. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, um, what's the name of the actor in Don't Breathe? Uh, Gimme one second. Uh, I remember there's this, he's a, he was the guy in Avatar with the scar in his face. The Mean general. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah. So he lives in Don't Breathe and Don't Breathe too. And now they have this movie Old Man where he plays an old man. He's Speaker 0 00:15:57 An old man with a gun in his house. He can see Speaker 1 00:16:00 This time height. He's not blind. I Speaker 0 00:16:02 Did, I in the trailer. He, I thought he was blind. Speaker 1 00:16:04 I think I, I, I don't know if he's blind or not. He Speaker 0 00:16:07 Didn't know, Speaker 1 00:16:08 But he didn't, It doesn't seem like a plot point. It doesn't seem like a plot point. Speaker 0 00:16:12 I think I thought in my head can, I was like, Oh, someone's coming to get the old blind man. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:16:17 Well, like, I thought that too. I was like, Oh yeah, don't breathe two. I mean, don't be three. Cuz I know there was a second one. Speaker 0 00:16:22 Yeah. Just calling. I thought like, Speaker 1 00:16:22 Uh, straight to DVD by the way. I thought Find up a big Lots Speaker 0 00:16:26 Like evil Dead, Evil dead two Army of Darkness deal was like, you know, don't breathe, don't breathe. Two old man. Yeah. <laugh>, you know, but no, it's not. It's his own deal. It's Speaker 1 00:16:35 His own deal. I guess he found his niche. He's just like, I'm getting older, I just wanna fuck up teenagers at my house. Oh. Speaker 0 00:16:41 It's like, it's a long time though to Avatar movie. So he needs to do something. Three Speaker 1 00:16:44 Man, people love. Speaker 0 00:16:44 So he did, he did three movies between the Avatar movie, like three franchise movies in between one Avatar movie, <laugh>. And that's where you need three separate movies. Speaker 1 00:16:53 Yeah, I know. Yeah, he did three. Speaker 0 00:16:55 It's fuck it. It's, I don't care. It is, it's a third in the movie. A series. I don't care. That's how it is. Speaker 1 00:16:59 <laugh>. Um, and then, uh, Oh, Super Mario Brothers Speaker 0 00:17:04 Show, most notably the Super Mario Brothers, Speaker 1 00:17:06 Most notably, which Speaker 0 00:17:07 I, I thought was gonna like, be terrible. And like, I thought it just gonna be a gar, a garbage like Naval gazey, you know, breaking the fourth wall kind of thing. Uh, which they might have those jokes, but they were like, No, no, we're just gonna do the instruction manual. We're just gonna make that into a movie. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:17:21 That it literally is just, I was like, Oh shit. Okay. I hope this movie turns into a game. Oh, wait, I played the game. I was like, Speaker 0 00:17:28 Oh yeah. Is a really fun game. Yeah. It's like, yeah, it looks like they'll be in different worlds and like he'll hop around and Speaker 1 00:17:34 I'm wondering if, uh, because our producer brought this up, if they're gonna shit on this movie and make them change the voice, uh, like they did Sonic's Teeth. But I was, I'm like saying that's completely two different things. Yeah. Speaker 0 00:17:45 The only I saw like a funny meme was like, someone was like, Hey, we did with Sonic, let's do with Mario. And like, someone had like a big fat ass on Mario Speaker 3 00:17:51 <laugh>. Speaker 0 00:17:53 Yeah. It's, that's what he needs. Speaker 1 00:17:55 He needs a, he needs some junk. Yeah. Speaker 0 00:17:57 He's all dump truck. That's what he needs. Speaker 1 00:17:59 Yeah. I guess because a dude who does a Mario's original voice is still alive. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, like, he's me. Yama. Yeah. But I honestly think an entire movie where he's not just going, Oh, if he's just like, Hey Princess, I think we should go over. He, I think I would murder someone. I Speaker 0 00:18:14 Like literally no one is saying that, That's my view too. I don't want to hear him being, uh, you know, Italian and a guy like, Oh, this is my emotional establishing er moment. Like, I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna hear it. Like, I'm fine with like, maybe was like an actor doing. If it wasn't Chris Pat, I'd be okay. But I don't like, I I see what you're saying. I know what you're saying. And yeah. Speaker 1 00:18:34 I, I, I under, when they announced the movie and they're like, Chris Pratt's gonna be Mario, people were like, Oh, he's Italian <laugh>, this is not cool. And I'm like, Okay guys, Relax. It's a video game. Yeah. And then, you know, I went down to Rabbit Hole, I'm like, Well, maybe he should be Italian. And then I thought like, you know, Sopranos a pussy Bump. And Sarah like, Hey, yo, Luk know, I got my fucking edge is acting, acting up. What's up with the fucking Fireballs over here? And I'm like, Okay, wait a minute. That's not gonna work. Speaker 0 00:19:01 Yeah. Somewhere in between. I don't Speaker 1 00:19:03 Know. And then I thought of like, Oh, they should just have the original voice. And then when I started to like, mimic the original voice, I was like, Speaker 0 00:19:09 Oh yeah, Speaker 1 00:19:09 Let's, I I did not like it. Mm-hmm. I dunno. I'm like, I think the studios are smart enough to have gone down that rabbit hole and been like, Nah, we're not having this situation coming here. And voice over Mario.

Audio Speaker 2 00:20:58 Action in the movie <laugh>. How about Speaker 1 00:21:00 That? Oh man. But, um, moving on, man. Uh mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Uh, I swear to God like this, uh, this whole week has been nuts and I never, ever, I'm enjoying my upcoming work from home situation. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, one thing I started to dive into looking at my house is I got a lot of shit. I want you to come down this rabbit hole with me about all the shit I have in my house. Cause I texted you earlier. Yeah, I know. It was a random text. I'm like, let me know everything you have in your junk drawer. <laugh>, we're gonna get into this in the next segment, cuz I wanna find out what you have in your junk drawer and what the fuck I'm talking about. Yeah. So let's take a quick break and ladies and gentlemen, be right back with more popping on. Preach. Speaker 1 00:22:13 All right. Are you ready, Bennett? Oh, yes I am. All right. So first things first. I'm gonna give you, I guess, the top five useless items I found in my drunk drawer. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Then I want to hear what's in your drunk drawer. All right. All right. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. All right. I'm gonna go from five to one. Number five, there's a pack of Big Red, I think that has moved with me to three different houses, <laugh>. But you know, I've, I don't like the taste, but I'm like, if I ever need some emergency gum, I know where it's at. Perfect. But I hate hot Cinnamon. I think it's a terrible flavor. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. But it's there. You, you know, that like, the foils all stuck to that gum too. It's gonna be inedible. It's probably a break by now. Yeah. Yeah. Um, number four is an old, I don't even know how to describe it, but, um, Ozo had this toy shark Lollipop. Speaker 1 00:23:09 Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, remember it's a lollipop. So it's like one of those, like, it spins it like one of those jokers. So it, it doesn't spin. It's like a, it has like, almost like a, uh, a push pop end that it's shaped like a push pop at the end. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> on the other end is a little button that would extend a shark that clamps. It's almost like, you know how you have those fake punching gums that would extend this one has that, but it has a shark at the end of it. That clamps. He liked it. I got mad at him one day cuz he was being very violent with it. So I put it in the drawer. So it was on time out, Forgot about it. Have seen it multiple times since then and be like, Oh, maybe I'll just pop this out when he needs to play. He's got plenty of toys. I don't know why I'm keeping this old toy. Discard, whatever. Number three, a little bowl of used batteries. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, These are batteries. I can no longer use <laugh>. When I was young, I would take old batteries to Office Depot or Staples and be like, Yo, got some batteries for you. They don't really do that anymore. Speaker 0 00:24:03 They don't Speaker 1 00:24:04 Really do that anymore. Uh, number two are empty. Small cases of things that I think I can put small things in as like Tke Speaker 0 00:24:15 <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:24:16 So I've, I've got like, you know, this old jar of sand. I've got like, like a stamp holder that's just in there. Speaker 0 00:24:24 No Speaker 1 00:24:24 Stamps? No no stamps. The stamps are on a magnet on the fridge. <laugh>, <laugh>. Speaker 0 00:24:29 I have, I have a great holder for <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:24:31 I have a great holder for it if I need it. And then number one most useless thing, which comes into two part that I have in there is a little cage of paperclips. And, you know, it's useless because I have the up in my office, two square magnetic, you know, paper mm-hmm. <affirmative> paperclip holders that you see at the office is back in the nineties. I've got two of those upstairs full to the rim. <laugh> of paperclips. I have one of all silver jumbo paperclips and one of like, regular size and multicolor. Jumbles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like fun ones. And then for some reason when something has a paperclip, I just take it off, go to my drunk drawer and be like, Oh, I can use you later. But I'm not ever using it. Never gonna ask. It's just collecting. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. It's just collecting. Um, so that's, uh, that's what's in my drunk drawer. So, um, those are the top five items in there. Speaker 0 00:25:18 I didn't, I so, uh, got a little picture of my drunk drawer. Ooh. And looking at it now, it's not as bad as I thought. I'm guessing cuz Natalie probably went at it not too long ago and did a little, a little clean <laugh>. But in my drunk door we have, uh, 1, 2, 3 types of gum and OIDs. Oh, shit. Yeah. Are you guys like, since na started stop smoking a few years back? Like, we have gum all the time. Oh shit. We have a flashlight, which is practical. Sharpies uh, scissor. It's honestly like, I'm kind of, I impressive. I, and this is not my work. How Speaker 1 00:25:52 Many, how many scissors are in there? Speaker 0 00:25:54 One. But yeah. But two tape measures. Okay. <laugh> one, one for a, you know, one for guests and one for, you know, not a one. Just get informal tape measure. Yeah. <laugh> batteries that we're never gonna use like a bunch of nine volts. Um, no nothing. Use nine volts. Like, or smoke detector use nine volts. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:26:11 Maybe like, you'll come up to like a child's toy that uses nine volts. Speaker 0 00:26:15 See? And then it looks like some sort of unidentifiable, unidentifiable rubber in cap. Um, <laugh> Speaker 1 00:26:23 Just Speaker 0 00:26:23 So who knows what. And I'm sure like, it, like there's a basket in there that has the scissors and the tape measure in the, the sharpest. I'm guessing once you've reach into that basket, that's where the good stuff lies. I Speaker 1 00:26:35 See a loose Nerf in there. Speaker 0 00:26:37 Uh, is Oh, that's a good indicator. Probably. Yeah. The yellow Speaker 1 00:26:41 Thing. Speaker 0 00:26:42 Oh no, that's not, not enough. It's a dry erase eraser board. Oh, Speaker 1 00:26:45 That's, that's a dry eraser. Speaker 0 00:26:46 Board's a dr. It's a dry erase pin with the eraser on top on the cap. Oh, shit. Speaker 1 00:26:50 Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So why is the dry erase board in your, Speaker 0 00:26:53 Oh no, it's not the board. It's the marker for the board. Oh, got it. Yeah. And it's Speaker 1 00:26:56 Yellow. Speaker 0 00:26:56 It's the yellow marker in case you wanna get fancy with your dry eraser. Oh, Speaker 1 00:26:59 Gotcha. Speaker 0 00:27:01 Um, so yeah, besides like the couple of, uh, odd things, pretty good junk drawer. The rest of the house full of crap. Speaker 1 00:27:09 <laugh> Speaker 0 00:27:10 <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:27:10 Well, uh, uh, here is a, uh, I guess an unre. Like, I, I can't give the, I don't know where this quote came from. Um, people gather stuff to feel protected and safe, but it's not real. We get busy gathering stuff to finding, uh, and finding places to put stuff to fill some invisible hole. We, we keep stuff to make us feel safe. We don't need it. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And, um, you know, America's got a clutter problem. There is a laundry list of reasons. I really want to, I wanna, I wanna find, like, I wanna go over you with some of the interesting facts that I found out and find out, like how you were raised mm-hmm. <affirmative>, how you're gonna raise your kid. Cause like Yeah. Cause like, would you say right now, could you fill up like, like if somebody's like, Hey, you gotta, you gotta tone down. Could you fill up a three yard or five yard dumpster with stuff to throw out? Or do you think everything in your house is needed? Speaker 0 00:28:05 No, it's not. Um, but this is it because I feel like we, and this is like an addict talking, I feel like we do a pretty decent job of, of going through and like, purging things every once in a while. Like mm-hmm. <affirmative>, getting through clothes, getting through kids' toys, uh, getting through my toys, uh, like action figures and comics and stuff like that. Like outside, you know, I feel like we do that. But there's some stuff that I absolutely like could all of it can go and like, you know, to get Speaker 1 00:28:33 Like Speaker 0 00:28:35 <laugh> to get serious, Speaker 1 00:28:36 To get a little, just to let you guys know at home. Like, Ben's sweating right now talking about this <laugh> like Speaker 0 00:28:40 To get, like, to get, I, this is, Oh, I'm sorry. I'm literally, I'm rubbing my scar and that's one of my tells. Oh, <laugh>. I were playing poker against me and I'm doing this fucking go all in <laugh>. Uh, anyway, um, Speaker 0 00:28:57 I, alright, so in Katrina I lost everything. I had all my stuff was gone. So I, from there, I got all the stuff back. So like, literally, I know for a fact how little you can go by in this life having, you know, I know how little things you can go by living, you know how much clothes you need. You don't need, you don't need all these things. Like, all you need is a basic handful of things. Like you put in a backpack, Honestly. Go through your life and be happy. Yeah. That being said, with this knowledge, I have so many fucking comics, so many records. I've got, uh, fucking albums of DVDs and blue rays that, you know, I'm never gonna get watched. Like <laugh>, you know, books that are never gonna get read. Like there, like I got it all back. Like I know the knowledge of how much little, how little you can use to get by. Like how little tiny house of a life you need <laugh>. And I just fucking went the other direction still, you know, So hypocritical, Speaker 1 00:29:51 Hypocritical, Speaker 0 00:29:52 <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:29:53 All right. Well I got a, I got a fun fact for you because you mentioned about all the toys that you got rid of mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So, you know, America has 3.9% of the world's children and 40% of the, the world's toys. Speaker 0 00:30:04 That makes sense. It's like, Speaker 1 00:30:06 I mean, 30% of the, Speaker 0 00:30:07 Remember I remember seeing my house right now. I remember photo. Yeah. I literal feel like that was gonna be my joke. <laugh>. And it's tough cuz like, my dude's sharp. Like, he's like, Where's my ambulance? Like where's the three world ambulance? Like it had three wheels. It had to go like, I'm sorry man. Like he knows when things are missing, but we still try to like pair it back cuz he's got so, like, literally he's got so many fuck. He cover the, he could cover out, cover an entire car with all his goddamn Speaker 1 00:30:32 Cars. I have an attic with a ball pit and it's still right now, like I, I'm not sure if you were coming around those days, but I used to have a full ball pit like that In your attic? No, that was in my living room. It was a, uh, it was a four and a half foot by six and a half foot ball pit. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And, you know, I think those, those sides were about 30 inches, 32 inches. And you know, I would put o those, those little nugget, we got a nugget for him. And he'd just launch off that thing into like, every time we came home, he would just jump into the ball pit, swirl around a little bit. It was like he cleaned himself in the ball pit. <laugh> got out and went around his day and you know, we were like, Shannon would always say, We gotta get rid of his ball pit. We gotta put the ball pit away. Like, I want a living room. Like this isn't chill. Like he doesn't use him like he uses every day, but you're right. If we get rid Speaker 0 00:31:21 Of it eventually, he'll Speaker 1 00:31:22 Yeah. Dude, the day I, I pulled that, he walked in the house. Aw man, where's the ball pit? I'm like, Oh, we're gonna bring it back out. And every day for like a week when he came in the house, he'd be like, Aw man, where's the ball pit? And then one day he didn't say that and now it's just upstairs. Yeah. And now I like, don't wanna bring it back. Cause I don't want it to be like, Woo. Ball pit. Speaker 0 00:31:44 Yeah. Then it's another six months of ball Speaker 1 00:31:46 Pit. Yeah. I mean like, I can set it up outside for like a birthday party. I'll do, but that's the hoarder talking in my head. Yeah. Which we'll go into later. Um, but yeah, like, uh, I heard that the, uh, here's another one. The average American household, household has 300,000 items in it. I think that is a severe undercount of what is in my house currently. <laugh>. I think there's 300 items within 10 feet of me right now. Yeah. Speaker 0 00:32:14 It's like we talk about individual legos or like a box of Legos, <laugh>. Cause if that's the case, like Whoof, I'm gonna throw your number system out there. Speaker 1 00:32:23 I was thinking like 1.2 million items was a little more accurate. <laugh> on the low end, like the severe low end. Speaker 0 00:32:30 It um, it is wild. Like, it's wild. This, you know, and it's true. Like we, it's like watching, uh, Matt and I were joking like during one move, like we just watch hoarders and like, it may just be like, okay, get all the shit outta here, <laugh>, we don't need this shit. But every hoarder says the same thing. It's like, what about I could use this piece of paper on something else? And it's like, we all do the same thing. It's like, you know, I could use this suit. I I'm not gonna wear a suit unless someone dies. Like Yeah. I don't, It's like, you know, not just an example like of other of stuff that like we just have that. Speaker 1 00:33:02 Yeah. I mean, like, we're probably, I would say we have the, uh, we have the largest amount of storage units on the planet in our country. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And you know, I, uh, I actually, I actually have some math on this. There's a night 9.4 of the US households rent a storage unit Speaker 0 00:33:22 Out of nine, four point percent. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:33:24 Yeah. 9.4% of US households rent a storage unit. And out of that 9.4%, 60, 67% of those, uh, live in a single family home. That's insane. Yeah. That means that they have a basement. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> that means that they might have attic space. That means they have a garage. I heard this crazy statistic that 75% of people that own a two car garage say they have no room to park a car in there. Speaker 0 00:33:54 Yeah. We're cl I mean we could get one in. Yeah. <laugh>. We're currently podcasting in yours, so getting this one Speaker 1 00:34:02 <laugh>. Speaker 0 00:34:05 But it's, Speaker 1 00:34:06 There's no way a car could fit in here. Speaker 0 00:34:08 No. That's the other thing is cars got bigger. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:34:10 Man, I'm looking it around in here. I'm like, I can get one car in here. And the Speaker 0 00:34:14 Thing is, I I, yeah. This is, it's Speaker 1 00:34:18 Yo like detached garages by the way. Detached garages in the backyard I think is the stupidest invention on the planet. Unless you need a podcasting studio. Speaker 0 00:34:27 <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:34:31 No. Yeah. It's, it's nuts. Like we have so much shit. We have so much shit. And I think about like what you were saying, like I'll pull something out and I'll be like, I don't need this, but I might need it at some point. <laugh>. Speaker 0 00:34:46 Yeah. Like there's so much stuff in our house that are, like, for me it's like books or tear. It's like, I love, I like this book or I'm never gonna read this book. Or even if I read this book once, maybe I wanna read it again. You could just either get it online, like you could go to fucking library and get it. Like there's apps for your phone to get books. Like, there's so many things where you don't need to have physical things carrying around. But there's something in our brains that like, we just need, we need like we are, uh, Blaine was showing me, uh, this fucking fantastic George Carlin bit about like a place for your stuff and like how it's just such a comfort to have all your stuff wherever you go and like to bring your stuff with you when you go somewhere else. What, what kind of your stuff are we gonna bring with you? Like, you know? Yeah. Uh, it's just, I don't know. It's, I dunno if it's a human thing. Speaker 1 00:35:29 Yeah. It's, Speaker 0 00:35:29 Or just like an ingrained in, I don't know, an American thing. But it just, Speaker 1 00:35:33 You want to have everything that you, like you could possibly need. And this, this idea that you need things is something that's been drilled into us. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> now. Like I know that I suffer from this because I know that, you know, when uh, we had our brown out the other week, we went to the beach and when we went to the beach, you know, I brought my little solar panel charger. I brought some sandals, I brought some speakers. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. I brought my reusable, uh, aluminum solo cups. Brought a little bit of, uh, some, some claws, some cocktails just to sit on the beach. <laugh>. I brought some headphones just in case somebody's like, Hey, turn that music off. We can plug in. Say fuck it. Brought a little blanket just in case it got cold. I brought another blanket. I brought a towel in case we wanted to go in the water. Speaker 1 00:36:17 Even though I am never going in the water at Santa Monica Pier. Not gonna happen. Never ever gonna happen. I brought little paddles just in case he wanted to play. And Shannon ain't gonna be running around the beach like at six o'clock at night. No. So that was like, Oh, what do I need? And I was like, this opportunity to grab all my beach stuff. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And I hate the beach <laugh>. I fucking hate the beach. I have a whole bag in my closet that's like beach stuff cuz my, my, my little boy loves the beach. Yeah. So I take him to the beach. He's like, Yes. And I'm like, I hate you. I hate the beach. I hate the beach. I hate the fucking beach. But he loves it. So Speaker 0 00:36:54 He get stuff, I get Speaker 1 00:36:54 It. I got the stuff, you know. Um, we, we all, we always get a sh like all this stuff is always getting shoved in my face. I had literally follow an Instagram page about like, some of the coolest shit I've ever seen. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> like, this guy's got like a non-stick, like this non-stick pan, uh, that has a clip handle. And it comes in three different size. You have your sauce pan, your pot, your skillet, and a small skillet. It's all stackable and it only comes with one handle and it clips on every single one. So once you like throw it, uh, throw your steak up there and see each side, you can just clip it, throw it in the oven, unclip it, let that steak cook. And I'm like, Oh damn. That is dope. Speaker 0 00:37:37 That sounds like I'm gonna burn myself personally. But yeah, you're gonna be like, Yay. Speaker 1 00:37:41 Yeah. Yeah. But I'm like, that is sick. It's sitting in my wishlist right now on Amazon <laugh>. Cause I, so I do have a process. I do have a process. Like, I put stuff that I want on my wishlist and I'm like, if I, uh, you know, one day I come home and I'm like, you know what? I want this motherfucker. I get it. But usually I got like a, I got like 200 items in my wishlist that just sit there <laugh>. Half of 'em aren't even being sold on Amazon anymore. Speaker 0 00:38:04 It's definitely like the, the instant gratification of everything now is, uh, is not good. <laugh>, you know, I don't know. I don't know the scientific way to put not good that you can get whatever the fuck you want delivered same day. Some point in some Speaker 1 00:38:17 Cases that is not good at all. Like there. And you know what's crazy? So, uh, I got some custom suits made and they take a while. Um, I just got my shirts today. It's been like two months. But like, just opening that, like getting in, I'm like, Yeah, this package showed up. I'm like, I know what this is. Fuck. Yeah. And I havet worn a suit in two months. I don't need that suit until like, you know, wedding season in the next couple weeks. So if I just clicked it and got it, it'd just be sitting in my closet. But the fact that I knew it was coming, I had something to look forward to. And now my life is an empty shell Speaker 0 00:38:54 <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:38:55 I have nothing to look forward to. Speaker 0 00:38:56 There's um, you know, I love, love to paraphrase a web comic, but it's like a dude surfing the internet and it's like new stuff. And then it comes in the, the mail and the package comes in and it says new stuff and he's holding it. And then the new goes away, just says stuff. He just, and his face drops and just like <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:39:13 I like Speaker 0 00:39:14 That. Yeah. It's like, that's the process. It's, it's, I'm sure it's a chemical, you know, some chemical in our brain actually. What chemical is it? Speaker 1 00:39:21 <laugh>. Well, no, that's, Well thanks for bringing that up because that's actually, uh, the chemical in our brain that says that we need stuff that like a little serotonin drip of like Yeah, I got the new Dyson and like, oh yeah, I got this new spatula. Oh. Oh, I have a grilled cheese skillet. You know, <laugh> like mm-hmm. <affirmative>. I, I have, uh, I have two skillets for, uh, one like really, really small ones. One is just for making, uh, uh, an over easy egg. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, which I can make on any fucking skillet with the top mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And one is just for a grilled cheese cuz it could slide out and it has an easy flip. And I was like, no way this easy flip works. So I did the whole flip the grilled cheese and I was like, holy shit, that worked. And now I've made like 11 grilled cheeses in the last three days since I've had it <laugh>. I'm never gonna eat a grilled cheese ever again. Yeah. So that thing's going to the good will Speaker 0 00:40:08 <laugh> Speaker 1 00:40:08 Waste of money. Speaker 0 00:40:11 It like, Speaker 1 00:40:11 But it was $6 <laugh>. Speaker 0 00:40:14 It's like we, you know, I I, you know, noticing this behavior myself, like I tried to like do a couple things to like curb it. You know, like I, uh, I'm real bad about like records obviously. And uh, t-shirts another thing I was real bad about. So like, at this point, like if I, if there's a t-shirt, I absolutely have to have some stupid funny ti dye t-shirt, Speaker 1 00:40:35 <laugh>. You wear funny t-shirts. Speaker 0 00:40:37 I'd love me a funny weird t-shirt. Uh, I've gotta get rid of one. Like if I'm getting one, you Speaker 1 00:40:42 Get Speaker 0 00:40:42 One you get rid of one one's gotta go. Yeah. Oh Speaker 1 00:40:44 Shit. I did that with my shoes. It's a slippery slope. I, Speaker 0 00:40:47 It's, it's, it's a slippery slope. Pick and choose. Dude. Speaker 1 00:40:50 I got some shoes that I threw away and I'm like, yeah. That I fucking regret. I Speaker 0 00:40:54 That Speaker 1 00:40:55 I'm like, I don't know why I got rid of those. I'm like, I do not know why I got, I had these. Yeah. Speaker 0 00:40:59 Shoes are definitely a big, a bigger advancement than like a $30 with shipping t-shirt, you know? Yeah. <laugh>, Speaker 1 00:41:05 I, you, the amount of money people spend on shoes, it's crazy cuz in theory you need, like, I wouldn't even say you need, like, you could survive with two pairs of shoes. I would say comfortably. You can have six pairs of shoes. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, you know, you can have your two work shoes. You can have your two everyday shoes. The ones you go to the mall with, the one that you go in the backyard with. And then you have like your athletic training shoes if that's what you do. And then your sandals. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. That's it. That's all you need. When one fucking breaks down, you replace it. You only need six pairs of shoes. And maybe if you're a fancy dude like me, a a seventh pair for fancy events. Speaker 0 00:41:42 Yeah. Speaker 1 00:41:43 But like, even that, like fancy events come in waves. Like, like I would say between 20 and 30 you need two fancy pairs. You're gonna go to a lot of weddings. Speaker 0 00:41:54 That's thing is you don't, you don't need all those things. Speaker 1 00:41:57 Yeah. Look at, look at me. Look Speaker 0 00:41:59 At me. You need one pair of sneakers, <laugh> and one black pair of sneakers that aren't as dirty. Yeah. <laugh>. So, alright. So think like, what are, so we were looking at lists of like, what are some things that we can get rid of just to kinda like, to get us talking, to get us thinking about like what, Speaker 1 00:42:17 Oh shit. Let's start with the closet. Speaker 0 00:42:18 All right. In your closet. So like, you know, my t-shirt for t-shirt. It's, it's a good, I think it's a good idea cuz na and I do this all the time. We try to purge mm-hmm. <affirmative> like clothing and stuff that doesn't fit. You know, cuz like we, I think everyone that, uh, you know, like myself that has like issues with weight or has been struggling with their weight, it's like, I'm gonna fit in that t-shirt eventually I'm gonna, I Speaker 1 00:42:38 Don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah. Speaker 0 00:42:39 <laugh> clearly I'm not gonna not gonna point any fingers here. That Speaker 1 00:42:44 Extra X has just been creeping on my, on all my shirts. I don't know when it happened, but it just Speaker 0 00:42:48 Started happen. But those single leg shirts, maybe I'll come back one day. The thing is, don't you'll just buy more shirts. Like you'll get like, so you have to like the things that don't fit. Let him go. Let him just clothing. It's okay to let the clothing go. Speaker 1 00:43:01 Yep. If you have something in your closet that you haven't worn for six months to a year, get rid of it. Now. That might change if you live in la mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Cause I got a jacket. I, I don't wear that. I'm gonna break out. Cause I saw what today was like, It was not worn <laugh>. It was little gloomy and I was walking around like it wasn't, But yeah, there, if, if you have stuff like that, get Speaker 0 00:43:23 Rid of 'em. This is another, another one of my rules. I didn't know was like a good rule. I apparently I'm, I've got a good brain for throwing things away. If you got a hole in it, throw it away. Yeah. I, Speaker 1 00:43:32 I've, I literally sat at like, I had one of those I guess novelty boxers, you know, it was like funny Speaker 0 00:43:40 Elephant nose in the ears on the side. Yeah. You Speaker 1 00:43:41 Know, funny shit. You, it was SpongeBob and his nose was like a little phole. Yeah. Yeah. And I was like, Ha ha Speaker 0 00:43:46 Look, I'm, Speaker 1 00:43:47 You know, a little SpongeBob thing. And it had a fucking hole in the back, like right where the Lasta band was. And like, I washed it. That hole got a little bigger and I was like, Oh, I have a sewing kit for this. And I was like, Wait, <laugh>, I've worn these things once in the last five years. Speaker 0 00:44:02 For real. I Speaker 1 00:44:03 Like to, there was, was no reason for it to end up in the washing machine. And I was like, all right, I'm tossing this. And I just threw it out. I threw it out and it, that's what brought me to this subject. I was like, wait a minute. I got so much bullshit. Speaker 0 00:44:16 Yeah. You, you can get rid of stuff. It's okay. Speaker 1 00:44:18 All right. Um, what about stuff that you have that are stained that like, I always have like, I had like this whole pile of stained shirts mm-hmm. <affirmative> that I wear. Like when I'm gonna go gardening or if I'm gonna paint, Speaker 0 00:44:27 I do have a downgrade system. Right. Oh, now that, hey, let's lay my system out here. I wanna hear Speaker 1 00:44:32 The Speaker 0 00:44:32 System. So if it's one for one, Okay. And some, if the shirt is a soft shirt, it's gonna be downgraded to a sleep shirt. Ooh Speaker 1 00:44:38 Yes. Speaker 0 00:44:38 Sleep shirts. I've got some soft t-shirts that are sleep shirt. They have to be soft. They have to be lightweight.

Uh, as our producer says, Marie Kondo that shit, if it does not bring you joy, get rid of it. Yeah. Uh, you know, on average we spend 17 minutes a day looking for something that's been misplaced or lost. That's almost 344 days in your li in the average lifespan, you know the amount of stress that it puts on you, like looking at things you don't need saying like, do I need this? That mental argument. You go with yourself before you throw something away. You don't need this. The stress that puts on your relationship when you see something, you know, your partner is not using and they can call you out for 17 things that you are not using <laugh>. It's terrible. Speaker 0 01:08:13 All the s all the lipstick and fingernail polish can stay. Oh Speaker 1 01:08:16 Yeah. I, I there's, there's things that we need in our lives. There's things that we want, there's things that we need to have that we have to have. Um, I think we should all take a look at what we have in our house. Downgrade. Create more space for yourself. Increase the fun. Shu mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Um, I, it's, I I've cleaned my garage once when we first started the studio and we like got rid of all this stuff. Like, it was, this feeling was unbelievable. I couldn't believe all the things that I had that I did not need. And you know, I, I tossed a bunch. I had eight bins that went to Goodwill. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> eight bins. Like you guys, these are like 32 gallon bins. These are not small bins. Speaker 0 01:09:00 No. Speaker 1 01:09:00 These are huge bins. <laugh> and Speaker 0 01:09:02 I, uh, like I, I think that like some people are little ify about goodwill in those places now. Cause I think there's been words spread about how much they throw away. Uh, one of the things that we do, uh, we, meaning my wife, uh, is there's like a buy nothing groups and stuff like that. So like a lot of kids' toys. Uh, or just like, you know, like our electric mo you know, we got a mower. You know, our, I can't talk anymore. Speaker 1 01:09:25 I'm sorry. No, it's all good. Speaker 0 01:09:26 The thing you use to cut your grass, we got to buy nothing. A mower. Mower. Alright. Good. Fucking a. Speaker 1 01:09:32 Yeah. Um, yeah. I I would love to get some of those.

It's a great group. Speaker 0 01:09:45 Yeah. There's lots of like, individual like teen programs. Uh, there's lots of places you could donate that aren't goodwill that will get real immediate use out of it. Hey Speaker 1 01:09:54 Man, I got a 55 inch TV in a box sitting in my kitchen in my dining room. Sorry. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. It's been there for two months. I've been trying to get rid of this thing. It's like if I was like, It's free if you can come pick it up, it's yours <laugh>. And people were like, Eh, Speaker 0 01:10:10 It's far <laugh> Speaker 1 01:10:13 And it doesn't fit in a lot of people's car. Speaker 0 01:10:14 Yeah. I think on a buy nothing group, you'd be gone by the afternoon. Speaker 1 01:10:18 So Yeah. We're gonna, I'm gonna get into that with you. I want to, I wanna be a part of this experience. So is it, This is my pledge. This is my pledge. By the end of the year, I would like to get rid of half of the things I have in my house. Half. Speaker 0 01:10:32 Wow. Half that.

I'm like, You gonna use it at some point that I'm like, Nah, he just wants to play video game Speaker 0 01:11:00 Now the kid's stuff is that, the kid's stuff is the hardest, you know, Speaker 1 01:11:03 You Speaker 0 01:11:04 Know, because it's sentimental too. But also it's like we're they're gonna get more shit they love. And we, we don't, you don't have to give it all the way. Speaker 1 01:11:09 Yeah, no, you're right. You're right. Uh, speaking of sentimental, this is another big thing that people have, and I actually wanna find out. If you have anything like this, there's things that we keep from our parents that we apply sentimental value for. I, I might give it to my child or mm-hmm. <affirmative>, this is my late fathers, or this is my late grandfathers that we do not need, that we keep because it means something to us. But that ends up in the back of a closet somewhere. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, I remember Mitch was telling us, uh, his grandfather had like this old sword that his dad gave him from like the, his grandfather gave him from like the Civil War or some shit.

Like, it's mostly stuff that like my mom held onto books and some toys that like me and my brother had and played with when we were kids. So, uh, my kids get to play with that and that's pretty cool. But it's also, it's like I, they don't really, it's like, Oh, this is the toy you played with and you were a kid. Like, they didn't give a shit. Like Yeah. Either like it or they don't. Like, Speaker 1 01:12:52 You know what I recently got rid of? Um, so I used to hang onto like all the trophies I ever got. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, all the trophies I like held on 'em.

Speaker 1 01:13:42 I was like, wait, I can just go make my own Speaker 0 01:13:44 Trophies. Yeah. It's pretty easy. Speaker 1 01:13:46 But yeah. You know, we always give like gag gifts to friends.

Um, but yeah, so there I I do make this pledge. I'm going to get rid of this shit. Um, I don't wanna force you into my pledge, but Speaker 0 01:14:23 I feel Speaker 1 01:14:24 Like can get Speaker 0 01:14:25 Rid of, I'm an ongoing get rid of person cuz early this year get rid of about half of my comic collection. Oh Speaker 1 01:14:30 Shit. Speaker 0 01:14:31 Uh, Yeah. Speaker 1 01:14:32 You sell it? Or Speaker 0 01:14:33 Did you just I sold it. Um, Okay. I didn't get a lot of money, but it's also, it's like, it's, I don't have a lot of stuff, you know, it's, you know, it's weird. It's like selling stuff, but also I don't, I didn't, I didn't bother me that I didn't get a lot of money either. You know, just like, it's more space I don't have, They're just literally paper that's sitting in a fucking cl in my garage for a decade. Like, Speaker 1 01:14:53 Man, should I get rid of my X-Men cards? Speaker 0 01:14:55 No. <laugh>, You Speaker 1 01:14:57 Guys, you should <laugh> I got, so I I I, I stopped collecting at like 17 mm-hmm. <affirmative>. I remember like the last thing I came up on, I was like walking to a buddy's house and there was like this little store and I'm like, Oh shit, they have some retro cards. He's like, Yeah, I'm getting rid of 'em. Like, whatever you can grab, you can take. And I was like, fuck. Yeah. And I was, I'm like, I, I don't use them for anything. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, they just sit in a bag and like in the, their little kid brain that I have, like, that's whispering to like, the adult brain's like, don't do it. Obi one day <laugh>, it'll be worth millions. It'll be worth millions. They won't be, I'm sorry. It will not be, Speaker 0 01:15:38 You Give 'em to Ozo and you'll throw 'em around and bite 'em and tear 'em in half and they'll be the, that's as much fun as they should be having. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:15:44 I think that's what I'm gonna do is like, I'm just gonna take all this stuff that used to bring me joy and watch my child destroy them. Yeah. Speaker 0 01:15:50 Well like, like I, it is, you know, I was trying to downplay it. It is, it is cool to see like, like today, um, I was like, I got your Tiger dad and he is holding my heman like, uh, what's his name? Battle Cat. Like, like the one that has my initials on it for my mom. Put on day, you know, when I went to daycare. Oh. Oh, shits like, I got your Tiger dad. It's like, that is my tiger. Speaker 1 01:16:09 Oh, that's pretty cool. Speaker 0 01:16:10 That is kind of nice. Speaker 1 01:16:11 All right, well now see now we're going full circle. We're coming into reasons why we shouldn't get ready, but Speaker 0 01:16:16 We're keeping it up. <laugh>. Speaker 1 01:16:20 Yeah. Um, so I, I think we should take a break and like compose ourselves. Cause I really feel bad about the things that are gonna be leaving me right now. <laugh> uh, ladies, gentlemen, we're gonna be right back, uh, with more Papa Don preach. And hopefully I throw some of this shit out. Speaker 0 01:16:36 <laugh>, it'll start right now. Like that kettle bell. What are you do that kettle bell? Eh, Speaker 1 01:16:41 We'll be right back. Speaker 1 01:17:05 Yo. Yo yo. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Thank you so much for sticking around. We know it's a longer episode, but we had a lot to clear out. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> pun intended. So, um, today we have something very special for you. Um, normally, uh, in this last segment we do some one offs, pop's pulpit. Uh, we do. In other words, uh, sometimes we do a taste test, movie review. We got a little bit of a, uh, a hydra where we are gonna do almost a non taste test. Uhhuh. Cause we have not seen it. Uhhuh a non review cuz we have not seen it. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> and a pulpit all into one. All right. So a ladies and gentleman, uh, Ben and I have a, a Papa's pulpit about the new show that's not new. I think it's coming on to season three. Season three. Yes. HBO Max Pennyworth. Speaker 0 01:17:58 And it's a story, it's like a prequel story about Alfred Pennyworth who is Batman's butler. Speaker 1 01:18:03 You guys do not need to check your speaker or your headphones. Bennett did not slip. Yes. This is a show about the famed Batman's butler. Speaker 0 01:18:14 Before he was Batman's Butler, he was John Wickes Secret Service. You know, Speaker 1 01:18:20 Ans Speaker 0 01:18:20 Like James Bond, not John Whis James Bond's secret servant. It was Speaker 1 01:18:24 Part of Bri, the sas, uh, British Intelligence. Speaker 0 01:18:27 And it just, All right. Okay. Speaker 0 01:18:31 <laugh>. So as the, as the comic book nerd in me, it's a recent continuity development to make Alfred a badass. Yes. Historically, he was an out, he was an actor. That's part of what we knew. He was a family, had served the wanes and he was called to serve the WANs after, you know, at a certain point in time. And then at some point, uh, comic got written where they made him at X, you know, X sas, X whatever, m i six. And that's kind of been his backstory since like, he's got a bit of a Alfred's, a bit of a badass. That's Speaker 1 01:19:02 Why he, he's old, but he's there for a reason. Speaker 0 01:19:03 Yeah. Like he was Yeah. Which is I think is a fine, interesting backstory. Um, but ultimately I don't fucking care about Alfred man. Like, I don't care about the, about Batman's butler. Like Speaker 1 01:19:15 If they made a little mini series about what Butler uh, what Alfred does when, you know Bruce Wayne is off getting, is like leaving blood all over Gotham City. Speaker 0 01:19:23 That's more interesting to me. Great. Speaker 1 01:19:24 Like, that's cool. Let's have a little mini series of like the, the day in the life of Alfred. Like, Speaker 0 01:19:29 But like an action show about young Alfred. Like, I, like, I just don't, Speaker 1 01:19:35 I do, you know, it's hard, Speaker 0 01:19:36 It's hard to express how much I don't care about Alfred as a kid. You Speaker 1 01:19:40 Know, in Pennyworth bat, uh, the Waynes give birth to a girl Speaker 0 01:19:43 Is like before. Is it like, is she gonna die? I think it's gonna be Speaker 1 01:19:47 Plot. I mean, I think they would've mentioned at some point that Batman had an older sister that died. Speaker 0 01:19:52 Or they just gonna be like, it's a, it's girl. It's uh, Bruce, Bruce Wayne or something like that. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:19:57 It's just, Oh, nevermind. Speaker 0 01:19:58 Or Dallas Wayne Speaker 1 01:20:00 Or Bruce Wayne transitioned at some point. Speaker 0 01:20:03 That's a, that's a good hot take too. That's Speaker 1 01:20:06 A good hot take. I'd Speaker 0 01:20:07 Watch. The thing is, I'd watch that show <laugh>. That's how the show it is. It's some generic spice show with Alfred <laugh>, with the man who cuts the corners off of Batman sandwiches. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:20:18 I mean, I'm gonna, for all of you out there who are listening and they're like, What the fuck are these guys talking about? Like, seriously. That's imagine, you know, these superhero movies that you don't really care about, but sometimes you see because they're action packed, they're funny, they get great reviews. Now imagine they took one of the most useless characters in those stories and made a stor, uh, a show about 'em, not a movie. A show on season three. Speaker 0 01:20:40 Yeah. Oh, did you know that Batman's mechanic <laugh>? Like he's the one that fixes Batman's car. That's pretty interesting. Right. He was also a Secret Service agent. And you're gonna see his adventures <laugh>. And we're gonna vaguely mention villains <laugh>. Oh, ooh. That's the last name of a, a guy, bad guy. Batman's gonna fight. That's what we're gonna do for three seasons. I Speaker 1 01:21:01 Mean, they did, They had this new movie, uh, Super Pets that came out about Superman and Batman's Dog. I Speaker 0 01:21:05 Did watch that one. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:21:06 Like, you know, That's great. It's a funny movie with Dwayne Rock, <laugh> Johnson and Kevin Hart doing the voiceover of animated dogs. Stay in your fucking lane. Penny Worth. Speaker 0 01:21:17 Yeah. God Speaker 1 01:21:18 Damn. Speaker 0 01:21:18 And I think it's like, I'm fine with, uh, interesting char, you know, of bad characters with taking a bad character and putting a new interesting take on it. Like, I'm totally midnight Speaker 1 01:21:28 With Speaker 0 01:21:28 That Midnight fucking Guardians of the Galaxy. Like, there you go. It's so many options to like, take boring characters and turning, Make it interesting. Fucking, you know, vision Speaker 1 01:21:37 Like Iron Fist, womp, womp. Speaker 0 01:21:39 You can't, you can't win 'em all the time. Yeah. <laugh>, Speaker 1 01:21:43 They all can't be bangers. They all can't be bangers. But it Speaker 0 01:21:45 Just, I I don't know why the Inker grew in Congruity of Alfred, the secret agent. Great word. It took me a while to get it out. Speaker 1 01:21:53 <laugh>. I got poops like that. Speaker 0 01:21:55 Oh, hey. Uh, I just don't, I don't know why it, it's make me care about somebody. Like there's DC has so many interesting characters in so many other characters. They can make a story about that. Isn't Batman's Butler. They Speaker 1 01:22:09 Could've did a, they could have did a live action Static shock. Speaker 0 01:22:12 I they think they did. Oh, Speaker 1 01:22:13 They did? No, they did Black Speaker 0 01:22:16 Lightning. That's the one they did. That's Speaker 1 01:22:17 Another black guy. Lightning. It's another blacking characters. Speaker 0 01:22:20 There's a comic series where, uh, called in Incorruptible. I'd say Speaker 1 01:22:26 It's Negro. It's, Speaker 0 01:22:27 There's a difference. That's a difference. I think there's a book called Incog Negro. Speaker 1 01:22:30 I thought I made up that word. Speaker 0 01:22:31 Nah, I think it's, I think it's a graphic novel. Ah, I Speaker 1 01:22:33 Used to tell people in high school, Yeah. I'm about Incog Nero and this motherfucker, they won't me. It's a word. Yeah. I thought it was great. Speaker 0 01:22:39 Anyway, the Black Lightning character in that comic makes a comment how like, Oh, just cause I'm black, I gotta have lightning powers. Ah, that's funny. It's like, it's like a stereotype. I don't know why it is, but it is. Speaker 1 01:22:47 Yeah. Storms got lightning powers. Damn. Yeah. All the black people have lightning powers. Mm. All right. Speaker 0 01:22:53 Well, Static Shock, Black Lightning. Speaker 1 01:22:54 But they made Thor White. The God had to be white. Yeah. Okay. All right. Speaker 0 01:22:59 Oh, is, no, it is. Oh, it is.

Did he get a lot of heat when he was like a black North guy? Speaker 1 01:23:25 No, I don't Speaker 0 01:23:25 Think so. Think. Cause of the albums. Cause that's the thing is like, he could play any character in every, That's why I Speaker 1 01:23:29 Fucking Hatera album. If you've been a fan of this podcast, you know, my, my Deep Hate for Iris album, he's like, he can do no wrong. And I'm waiting for him to fuck up <laugh>. I am. Wait for Speaker 0 01:23:38 It.

I don't know what the fuck he did reading this script for Beast and being like, you know what? I'm in like, Yeah. I don't know where he wasted his money. Like what show didn't go, Like maybe he wasn't touring enough during the fucking, If Speaker 0 01:24:07 He then was Alfred, I'd watch that show. Speaker 1 01:24:09 Oh, that. See, that's where it should have went. That's how they should have fucked it up. They're like Pennyworth. It's about Batman's Butler before he was Alfred and he's just a black Speaker 0 01:24:17 Dude. And guess what? He is black. Is he like, is he like British? No. No. He's just a black guy. Yeah, he's just black. He's like Luke Cage. But it's a Pennyworth. <laugh>. <laugh>. That's what I wanna watch. <laugh>. If you're gonna fuck with continuity, let's fuck with it man. Let's fuck with Speaker 1 01:24:31 It. Let's fuck Speaker 0 01:24:32 With it. I want Luke Cage to be Batman's Butler. Speaker 1 01:24:35 Hey. And that's another thing. First of all that Bennett, I don't know why everything coming outta your mouth sounds racist. <laugh> like the nicest dude I ever met. I don't know why, but I think it's Keep it coming. Keep it coming. Speaker 0 01:24:47 I don't think it's racist. It's a good idea. Speaker 1 01:24:48 Yeah. Cuz you're not black. That's why. Oh, Speaker 0 01:24:50 Blaine, you back me up on this idea. Hey, Speaker 1 01:24:52 Hey, hey. Don't listen to him. Don't listen to him. Speaker 0 01:24:55 There's lots of crickets over there, <laugh>. There's a whole lot of silence. Speaker 1 01:24:59 Speaking of bullshit. Yeah. I would say, speaking of all the bullshit that people are changing, why the fuck is shaggy black? Now Speaker 0 01:25:09 I, people didn't like that. So like, Speaker 1 01:25:12 All right, ladies and gentlemen, I know how this started, but I'm still angry and I'm gonna tell you right now, I understand what it's like. I know what inequality's like, and I've said this before on this podcast, and I know what representation means, especially in a cinema, uh, in cartoons, in comics, in every aspect of life. It's fucking great to see yourself represented. Like that feeling to be represented is amazing. Like, the reason Black Panther did so well is because they've been countless superheroes that are just white, these white cis males. Like, that's it. But there is an issue from taking historically white character and, uh, I'm gonna use some colorful language here and blacking them up. I'm not, I do not appreciate that you can still have your white team. But give Shay a fucking cousin or a college roommate that joins a team. Speaker 1 01:26:15 You know, get Fred's fucking neighbor to come in. Like, Ariel doesn't need to be black. That could be a whole bunch of black mermaids that we do a movie on. Like, yo, look at these black mermaids <laugh>. Like I I'm glad that uh, Little Mermaid is black. Like I haven't seen the movie or I haven't seen the trailer. I don't know if King Triton is black. Cuz that will not make sense if he's white. I think it's just Alba. I fucking hate this guy. He can do everything. <laugh>. Ugh. I'm serious man. Like, you guys gotta stop taking these characters and turning them black or Hispanic or Asian or whatever to try and show that you are woke and you hear the tenored language. There are so many characters, so many stories that are out there that you can just tell. You don't have to appease these fucking studios. Speaker 1 01:27:04 You think Black Panther was a, a character? Everyone knew. You think that Black Panther was gonna be this groundbreaking thing. Like, Oh, let's get this black guy who, who's supposed to be a Panther running around this made up town in Africa. Ooh, this is gonna be a fucking like, do the work. Make a good, like hire good people, hire great actors, Get a dope soundtrack. Put a fucking move your TV show together and just put these already existing characters in there. You don't have to fucking copy something. Put a black person in it and say, Hey, we did our part. I don't like it. I don't like it. You like, I would say like, I don't know whose idea it was, but there's been five Rocky movies, Six now six Rocky movies. But the turn they made with Creed. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. They didn't make a, they didn't say Rocky had this black kid. They didn't redo Rocky, but Rocky was black. He was this black dude from Jersey. They took an existing character in there and they spun it off. They're like, Let's tell this story. What the fuck? Speaker 0 01:28:12 Yeah, I like that take. Speaker 1 01:28:13 It ain't hard. No. And I use ain't because I'm black and I'm angry not to be a stereotype. Speaker 0 01:28:22 So let me just say like, Luke Cage's, Batman's Butler, <laugh> A meant more of like Luke cages his father figure as opposed to like him doing chores for Speaker 1 01:28:30 Batman, <laugh>. These regular Indians or <laugh>? Nah, these are just regular people. <laugh>. Oh man. But yeah, you guys, thank you for sticking around for my pulpit. Our pulpit. Really? Um, we, we got angry, but I'm calm now. I'm glad I got it out. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, if you guys have a chance, um, leave a terrible review for Pennyworth. Even if you haven't seen it. Speaker 0 01:28:57 No, I'd just be like, like everyone else on the internet. Yeah. Leave a bad review. Speaker 1 01:29:00 Who cares? They can't see your face. No one asks for your opinion, but give it anyway. That's what we do and that's why we're the Papas who preach. I wish you had the, uh, national anthem we could pull up right now. <laugh>, don't worry. On the YouTube we'll put in a we'll, we'll, we'll Chrome aqui American flag behind me. Yeah, yeah. Preach. Put a blue Eyes Matter strip right down it. Just make it controversial.
