WEBVTT

00:00:25.870 --> 00:00:27.629
Hey, welcome back to the Shane and I show. My

00:00:27.629 --> 00:00:31.149
name is Shane. My name is Max. I have an axe.

00:00:31.469 --> 00:00:35.329
I use it to cut wood and nothing else. You have

00:00:35.329 --> 00:00:38.570
an axe? I do. A real one? Yes. Do you use it

00:00:38.570 --> 00:00:41.170
to cut wood? Yes. And nothing else. You sure?

00:00:41.369 --> 00:00:43.929
Yes. There's not no dismembered body in your

00:00:43.929 --> 00:00:46.909
freezer? I mean, like there's there's pieces

00:00:46.909 --> 00:00:50.049
of cows and pigs and chickens. Well, I mean,

00:00:50.170 --> 00:00:56.280
yeah. So in that regard, yes. But not like human

00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.380
pieces. No, and also I like I didn't use an axe

00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:03.100
to do that. You're right Right. Anyway, this

00:01:03.100 --> 00:01:04.719
is a podcast about nothing that makes you think

00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.480
of something now. We're back We got two episodes

00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.400
in January. Oh fuck. Yeah, you're fucking good,

00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.200
dude. Are you sure the last one wasn't? The last

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:15.599
one we recorded in December, but I released it

00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:18.540
on New Year's Day. Oh, fuck yes. I got it edited

00:01:18.540 --> 00:01:21.019
in time. Dude, two in January, all right. Two

00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:23.159
in January, but that probably means February

00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.640
is usually our down month, so. Yeah, I'm about

00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.819
to be out of town for like four or five weeks.

00:01:27.980 --> 00:01:30.700
Yeah, that's usually what I figure. We did it

00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:32.239
last year where you were out of town. We were

00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.170
able to do it remotely. Were we? Yeah, we did

00:01:35.170 --> 00:01:37.670
a remote episode last year. We can give that

00:01:37.670 --> 00:01:39.549
another shot. I have no idea what my internet

00:01:39.549 --> 00:01:42.909
connection is gonna be like. I gotta figure out

00:01:42.909 --> 00:01:45.030
my laptop. I got the blue screen to death on

00:01:45.030 --> 00:01:47.209
it right now. Yeah, you gotta like reformat the

00:01:47.209 --> 00:01:48.549
whole thing. Yeah, it's like you keep saying

00:01:48.549 --> 00:01:50.969
I got the Windows security something or another.

00:01:51.450 --> 00:01:54.510
That's crazy. So anyway, that's enough about

00:01:54.510 --> 00:01:56.989
that. Yeah. So yeah, man. Shit, the holidays

00:01:56.989 --> 00:02:00.370

00:02:11.979 --> 00:02:14.939

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.379
Greenland Yeah, yeah weirdo that that that that

00:02:21.379 --> 00:02:23.900

00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:25.919
about something today. I don't want to get off

00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.219
topic on that yeah But I am gonna sound like

00:02:29.219 --> 00:02:31.400
an asshole on this all right But it's been on

00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.800
my mind. And I, you know, I can't really shake

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:36.819
it. And when something's on my mind, I feel like

00:02:36.819 --> 00:02:40.500
it needs to come to the podcast. And I'm gonna

00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:43.080
sound like an asshole. I'll just let it out.

00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:46.439
I get really perturbed. I get really irritated.

00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.879
I use perturbed and irritated. I heard you use

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:55.439
both. Right? Uh -huh. When there's people that

00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.539
smoke weed all right, and they're vegan Okay,

00:02:58.819 --> 00:03:00.680
and they fucking think they're better than you

00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.599
and they're all organic. You know what I'm saying?

00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.719
I never run into people like this like those

00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.319
crunchy Birkenstock people Yes, yeah, and they

00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.740
think they're so much better than you because

00:03:11.740 --> 00:03:15.099
because they don't conform Because they don't

00:03:15.099 --> 00:03:17.819
conform even though they they conform pretty

00:03:17.819 --> 00:03:20.879
strictly to a certain subculture exactly. Yeah

00:03:21.020 --> 00:03:24.060
Exactly. Anyway, I ran into one of these guys

00:03:24.060 --> 00:03:26.840
a couple of weeks ago. All right. Just randomly

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.840
walking down the street. Yeah. And fuck, I don't

00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:32.419
know how it happened, dude, but next thing I

00:03:32.419 --> 00:03:34.500
know, I'm in a conversation with this guy about

00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:37.159
fucking, about how fucking everything I think

00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.099
is wrong. And I'm like, dude, you don't know

00:03:39.099 --> 00:03:41.740
me. No, he doesn't know you. He's like, I'm like,

00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.539
what are you, who are you? Yeah. Who the fuck

00:03:44.539 --> 00:03:49.800
are you? You be truly smelling. You fuckin' patchouli

00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.199
and B .O. The patchouli doesn't cover the B .O.,

00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.800
man. It just adds an accent to it. It doesn't

00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:57.960
cover anything, man. Wash your fuckin' hair.

00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.599
I'm soundin' like I'm old, I'm soundin' like

00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.800
I'm jaded, but hear me out. Hear me out, people.

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.319
Please hear me out. I don't think it's just when

00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:09.659
somebody like that, the stoner hippie people,

00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:11.969
organic, think they're better than you. I think

00:04:11.969 --> 00:04:13.750
they're better than everybody. I think it's like

00:04:13.750 --> 00:04:16.550
anybody, dude, that it irritates me. So I was

00:04:16.550 --> 00:04:17.949
really thinking about it. I'm like, why did this

00:04:17.949 --> 00:04:20.509
guy irritate me so much? Because he was talking

00:04:20.509 --> 00:04:23.750
about how he's all organic and like all this

00:04:23.750 --> 00:04:26.649
other stuff. And like, I don't know how it came

00:04:26.649 --> 00:04:29.089
up, dude. I was literally it was like a five

00:04:29.089 --> 00:04:31.490
minute. I'm walking down the street with my client.

00:04:31.529 --> 00:04:33.189
My client says hello to him. The next thing I

00:04:33.189 --> 00:04:34.889
know, we're in this fucking 10 minute conversation.

00:04:35.350 --> 00:04:39.649
So this guy decided to go into all this with

00:04:39.649 --> 00:04:43.189
disabled guy. Yeah. Just who he doesn't know.

00:04:43.189 --> 00:04:44.790
Talking about how he could get cured by Mother

00:04:44.790 --> 00:04:46.730
Nature, if you know what I'm saying. Fucking

00:04:46.730 --> 00:04:52.689
Jesus. All right, yeah. Mother Nature, he could

00:04:52.689 --> 00:04:54.870
cure you, my brother. How old was this dude?

00:04:55.029 --> 00:04:57.550
Dude, he had to be at least in his 30s. Really?

00:04:57.670 --> 00:05:00.029
Yeah, he was that old. Oh my God, usually they're...

00:05:00.029 --> 00:05:02.189
You know, usually they're younger. Yeah. But

00:05:02.189 --> 00:05:04.670
it's changing, my man. People are starting to

00:05:04.670 --> 00:05:07.370
get into this organic hippie shit. I fucking

00:05:07.370 --> 00:05:10.730
sound like I'm in the 60s, man. You said here's

00:05:10.730 --> 00:05:13.069
here's the thing. This is not a new phenomenon

00:05:13.069 --> 00:05:15.670
now that you're describing This is like I went

00:05:15.670 --> 00:05:18.990
when I was in college. I One of the guys I bought

00:05:18.990 --> 00:05:20.990
weed from was one of these guys, right? Right.

00:05:21.069 --> 00:05:24.269
Yeah, and he drove around a fucking SUV And talked

00:05:24.269 --> 00:05:26.410
about fucking the environment and shit. Yeah,

00:05:26.490 --> 00:05:27.509
this is exactly what I'm talking about. Yeah,

00:05:27.610 --> 00:05:29.790
white guy with dreadlocks and a trust fund and

00:05:29.790 --> 00:05:31.449
all that. Yeah. Dude, you remember when you used

00:05:31.449 --> 00:05:33.449
to have to buy weed and it used to be like, cause

00:05:33.449 --> 00:05:35.689
I'm not a proponent to like smoking weed. That's

00:05:35.689 --> 00:05:37.089
not what I'm saying. I used to smoke all the

00:05:37.089 --> 00:05:38.930
time. Yeah, me too. But you used to have to hang

00:05:38.930 --> 00:05:41.009
out with some weird fucking people and now you

00:05:41.009 --> 00:05:42.610
can just go into a fucking store and buy it,

00:05:42.649 --> 00:05:44.829
right? Yeah. You can just walk in and buy some

00:05:44.829 --> 00:05:47.110
weed. Back when I smoked, you had to go sit at

00:05:47.110 --> 00:05:50.370
some weird dude's house. Yeah, have a conversation

00:05:50.370 --> 00:05:51.870
with someone. And actually act like you liked

00:05:51.870 --> 00:05:54.850
him. Yeah. Yeah. Pretend to be friends with this

00:05:54.850 --> 00:05:56.889
guy. Pretend to be friends until he fucking finally

00:05:56.889 --> 00:05:58.889
figured out that he needed to get the scale out

00:05:58.889 --> 00:06:02.569
to fucking, you know, weigh you out some. Yeah.

00:06:03.269 --> 00:06:05.490
And you're listening to this guy bullshit about

00:06:05.490 --> 00:06:08.589
the matrix and how it's really happening or whatever.

00:06:09.269 --> 00:06:11.990
Yeah. Yeah. Or telling you about chemtrails and

00:06:11.990 --> 00:06:13.850
shit. Yeah. And then the worst ones are these

00:06:13.850 --> 00:06:16.009
hippie guys, right? Cause your guy's like not

00:06:16.009 --> 00:06:17.829
in town one day and he's like, oh, but my friend

00:06:17.829 --> 00:06:20.199
over here, he can hook you up. Right? So you

00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:22.439
go to the hippie guy, and now you're sitting

00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.319
there talking to this hippie guy about fucking

00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.600
how he grows all of his own food and shit. Yeah.

00:06:27.779 --> 00:06:29.759
And you're like, dude, I just want to get some

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.459
weed. Yeah. And, you know, some people did it

00:06:32.459 --> 00:06:34.600
because, like, that's where they got their extra

00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.779
cash or whatever. The guy I'm thinking of, like,

00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.420
he sold drugs as, like, a part of his fashion

00:06:41.420 --> 00:06:45.399
ensemble. Right. Right. He's like, oh, I sell

00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.519
weed and mushrooms because that's who I... But...

00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:52.319
But he didn't need the money. Right. Most people

00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.000
I've found that were like that didn't need the

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.079
money. Yeah. They just did it because I think

00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:00.439
they didn't have any friends. Honestly, man,

00:07:00.540 --> 00:07:03.660
I trust a drug dealer who has a good professional

00:07:03.660 --> 00:07:06.980
work ethic and is trying to make a living. Right.

00:07:07.849 --> 00:07:09.509
That's my kind of drug deal. And now it's like

00:07:09.509 --> 00:07:13.470
I was talking to somebody about it and he was

00:07:13.470 --> 00:07:15.750
just like, dude, you just walked into a store

00:07:15.750 --> 00:07:17.689
now and I'm like, dude, I'm so glad I don't smoke

00:07:17.689 --> 00:07:20.550
anymore. Because I'd be in them. I'd be in that

00:07:20.550 --> 00:07:23.709
motherfucker every day. I wouldn't. I'd buy enough

00:07:23.709 --> 00:07:26.790
of that. just checking out to see what the new

00:07:26.790 --> 00:07:29.209
merchandise they got coming in is. Just so I

00:07:29.209 --> 00:07:31.430
know. I wouldn't at all. I'd go in once a month,

00:07:31.509 --> 00:07:34.170
get enough to keep me going, right? Like I'd

00:07:34.170 --> 00:07:37.310
get my paycheck, I'd fucking pay my rent and

00:07:37.310 --> 00:07:40.129
my utilities, and then I'd go to the head shop.

00:07:41.050 --> 00:07:43.550
And that's been the rest of it there. I'll be

00:07:43.550 --> 00:07:46.170
like, great. I'm good for the month. It's a weird

00:07:46.170 --> 00:07:48.389
time. It's a different time than when we... I

00:07:48.389 --> 00:07:50.449
guess not the head shop, the dispenser. Yeah.

00:07:50.449 --> 00:07:52.329
Yeah. It's a weird time. It's a different time.

00:07:52.389 --> 00:07:54.069
Now you can just be a degenerate and walk into

00:07:54.069 --> 00:07:55.990
a shop and be like, everybody's like, hey, it's

00:07:55.990 --> 00:07:58.029
okay. You're a degenerate. Yeah. You used to

00:07:58.029 --> 00:08:00.170
be a degenerate. Having to hang out with weird

00:08:00.170 --> 00:08:01.850
dudes. Who would have to hang out with other

00:08:01.850 --> 00:08:04.629
degenerates. Yeah. And it was always, it wasn't

00:08:04.629 --> 00:08:07.829
like, it was like your buddy or whatever, right?

00:08:07.870 --> 00:08:09.589
Like it was always some weird dude that your

00:08:09.589 --> 00:08:12.639
buddy knew. He was like, dude, I know a guy,

00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:15.279
but you gotta hang out with him for a little

00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:20.560
while. I ended up having a guy who I knew and

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.000
I liked and I trusted and we became friends and

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:30.040
we became roommates. That was cool, but he wasn't

00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.879
primarily my drug dealer at that point. I wonder

00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.159
if we're gonna get in trouble for talking about

00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.340
this. Anyway, whatever. I don't care. The thing

00:08:39.340 --> 00:08:41.720
about it is, the thing about it is, is like,

00:08:42.220 --> 00:08:45.379
I just was thinking about it, man, because, like,

00:08:45.460 --> 00:08:48.200
this guy just irked me. And it wasn't just, like,

00:08:48.500 --> 00:08:50.600
him being, thinking that he was better than me,

00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.840
or, like, me thinking that he thought he was

00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.740
better than me because he was all organic or

00:08:54.740 --> 00:08:57.340
whatever. It's just people that are like that.

00:08:57.379 --> 00:09:00.799
I could, I could go to any kind of thing, any

00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:04.289

would be people that just irritated the piss

00:09:59.769 --> 00:10:03.110
out of me and I'm just like Fuck, why do you

00:10:03.110 --> 00:10:04.889
think you're so much better than everybody's

00:10:04.889 --> 00:10:07.830
you're in a fucking 12 -step program? It's this

00:10:07.830 --> 00:10:10.529
weird smug know -it -all thing like we don't

00:10:10.529 --> 00:10:13.610
come here. Well, yeah, and like it doesn't it

00:10:13.610 --> 00:10:17.360
doesn't go over well whether Whether your deal

00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.580
is being fucking hippie naturalist vegan. Right.

00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:25.740
Or, or like fucking anything at all. Right. Right.

00:10:25.740 --> 00:10:27.179
Whether your thing is being like, no, you got

00:10:27.179 --> 00:10:29.899
to eat the meat and go to the gym and carnivore.

00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:36.679
Right. Those people are essentially exactly the

00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.860
same. Yeah. Yeah. It's not, it's not. I don't

00:10:39.860 --> 00:10:42.279
think it's hippie stoners or whatever. I could

00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:44.779
see where you're going, because I agree with

00:10:44.779 --> 00:10:47.679
you, but it's just that attitude. It's just the

00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:49.720
attitude of, I'm better than you. Yeah, because

00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:51.879
there's plenty of hippie stoners. Yeah, that

00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:53.779
are cool. Yeah, and they're like, I'm into what

00:10:53.779 --> 00:10:56.320
I'm into, you're into what you're into. And we

00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:59.220
don't have to, they don't go around fucking telling

00:10:59.220 --> 00:10:59.940
you to be vegan. Yeah, and we can talk about

00:10:59.940 --> 00:11:01.740
the fucking giants or whatever. Yeah, they don't

00:11:01.740 --> 00:11:04.000
have to tell, or we talk about, yeah, I mean,

00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:06.919
those people I like. Yeah. It's when they, it's

00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.779
when they... Yeah, it's those fucking smug know

00:11:09.779 --> 00:11:11.639
-it -all bastards. It's just when they think

00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.879
they're better than you. It's obnoxious, man.

00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.500
Man. You just got me on that I'll pray for you

00:11:18.500 --> 00:11:21.740
people. Oh, yeah. No, fuck those people. I'll

00:11:21.740 --> 00:11:26.019
pray for you? Oh, oh, you. You son of a bitch.

00:11:26.139 --> 00:11:27.600
I'll give you something to pray for. Yeah, I

00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:31.600
will give you something to pray for. Dude, I

00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.460
used to irritate the piss out of me. Yeah. Because

00:11:34.460 --> 00:11:37.059
I was not an OK guy when I got sober, right?

00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.279
Yeah. Like, I was just not OK, man. For a long

00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:42.700
fucking time, I wasn't OK. And since I talked

00:11:42.700 --> 00:11:43.820
about the weed thing, I'm going to talk about

00:11:43.820 --> 00:11:45.879
this. So I'm going to just go on a roll. All

00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.279
right. I was not OK for a long time, dude. And

00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.480
people put up with my shit, right? They put up

00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:53.279
with me. And they didn't fucking, they didn't,

00:11:53.299 --> 00:11:55.120
I mean, they probably talked up shit behind me,

00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.340
behind my back or whatever. But they didn't,

00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:59.259
they never like turned their back on me. You

00:11:59.259 --> 00:12:03.179
know what I mean? Yes. They let me grow, right?

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.659
They let me grow up, right? They let me grow

00:12:05.659 --> 00:12:07.240
out of whatever the fuck I was going through

00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.840
and they let me grow up. And I think that's important.

00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:15.600
Other people didn't. Other people would judge

00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:20.340
me, right? And I knew it. I mean, you know exactly

00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:23.000
what I'm talking about. I knew it. And you know

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:26.360
when somebody's in it, you're sitting in a place

00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.019
and somebody's judging you and you're just like,

00:12:29.019 --> 00:12:33.129
fuck that guy. Yeah, I'm fortunately, I've gotten

00:12:33.129 --> 00:12:34.970
to a point where it's like, if somebody is judging

00:12:34.970 --> 00:12:38.129
me, I'm like, man, I would hate to be sitting

00:12:38.129 --> 00:12:41.070
in your judgmental fucking hemorrhoid -ridden

00:12:41.070 --> 00:12:43.429
ass. Well, and that's what I mean years later,

00:12:43.529 --> 00:12:45.830
right? I had the opportunity to grow up, right?

00:12:45.830 --> 00:12:48.389
I had the opportunity to make mistakes and to

00:12:48.389 --> 00:12:50.950
grow up. And like, I didn't have to get loaded

00:12:50.950 --> 00:12:55.870
over it, right? And now I can see when somebody's

00:12:55.870 --> 00:12:58.220
doing that shit. Yeah. Right. I can see when

00:12:58.220 --> 00:13:00.519
somebody's like judging somebody or, and it's

00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.620
not, it's not my business. It's just like this

00:13:02.620 --> 00:13:04.299
other stuff that I keep getting on my internet

00:13:04.299 --> 00:13:07.500
feed about how AA is a cult. Right. Or 12 step

00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:10.580
groups are a cult or whatever. I love seeing

00:13:10.580 --> 00:13:13.980
that. I do too, dude. I do too, because number

00:13:13.980 --> 00:13:17.960
one, there isn't a leader. So therefore, I don't

00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:19.659
know where we get cult status, but whatever.

00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:21.460
That's not the point. Well, not all cults have

00:13:21.460 --> 00:13:24.620
leaders. Yeah. But that's not the point. The

00:13:24.620 --> 00:13:27.299
point is like, I really want to engage in that

00:13:27.299 --> 00:13:30.120
stuff, but because I learned a long time ago

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:32.059
where that stuff gets me, where that stuff leads

00:13:32.059 --> 00:13:36.220
me, I don't engage, right? I don't leave a comment.

00:13:36.539 --> 00:13:39.320
I don't fucking, I watch the video amused and

00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:44.299
I leave it alone, right? But I don't let it like...

00:13:43.899 --> 00:13:46.200
I don't, yeah, I don't engage with it because

00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:49.019
I went through that, dude. I remember, I remember

00:13:49.019 --> 00:13:51.139
thinking that exact same thing, except I was

00:13:51.139 --> 00:13:53.799
at a bar. There was no internet. I was at a bar

00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:57.039
telling the bartender how fucking AA was a cult.

00:13:57.500 --> 00:14:01.399
I'm sure every bartender gets an earful about

00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:04.320
how AA is a cult by some sloppy drunk at least

00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:07.080
twice a week. Dude, I used to, and then I would

00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.799
get really drunk. I would get super hammered,

00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:12.340
dude. And I would start, I'd start quoting Bill's

00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:18.580
story. Like, just quoting Bill's story. I'm just

00:14:18.580 --> 00:14:20.679
going with this. So if you're not in this whole

00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:23.279
stuff program, I'm sorry, but this is me, and

00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:26.419
I'm just putting it out there now. But yeah,

00:14:26.460 --> 00:14:29.600
dude, I would tell people how it was a cult.

00:14:29.779 --> 00:14:32.519
I would tell anybody who would listen to me at

00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:35.559
the time, and how they brainwashed me and all

00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:37.940
this other stuff, and now I'm free. So I know

00:14:37.940 --> 00:14:40.580
exactly where those people are coming from, except

00:14:40.580 --> 00:14:43.860
I didn't have the internet. And if I did have

00:14:43.860 --> 00:14:46.600
the internet, and I did it when I was loaded,

00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:50.240
it would be me fucking slobbering all over myself.

00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:54.460
All over yourself on the way back from the fucking

00:14:54.460 --> 00:14:58.200
dispensary. Yeah. And then like ranting on Facebook,

00:14:58.899 --> 00:15:03.639
on Facebook, right? Yeah. Like, I could brag.

00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:06.000
I could be like, hey man, I had a Facebook back

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:09.700
when you needed a .ed address to have one. Dude,

00:15:09.940 --> 00:15:12.220
that's so old. That just makes me an old person.

00:15:12.340 --> 00:15:13.879
It does make you an old person. You know what

00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:15.960
they say now? I was watching this thing. You

00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.700
know what they say? What? They say TikToks is

00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:22.100
for like young girls. Uh huh. Like teenage girls

00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:24.600
or whatever. Yeah. Teenage dudes. Yeah. Like

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:26.820
Instagram's for adults. Guess what they say Facebook's

00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:29.820
for? Old people. Old people. Yeah. Facebook's

00:15:29.820 --> 00:15:32.320
for old people. Facebook's for your mom, man.

00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.879
That's what Facebook's for. Right? Like, Instagram

00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.659
is, like, a little too much of a sensory overload

00:15:38.659 --> 00:15:42.700
for her, so she goes to Facebook. But you know

00:15:42.700 --> 00:15:44.580
how it is when Facebook was, like, the thing?

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.539
Like, everybody had a Facebook? And you're like,

00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:49.539
fuck, that one guy that used to make fun of me

00:15:49.539 --> 00:15:51.179
in high school wants to be my friend now. Yeah,

00:15:51.179 --> 00:15:53.799
I remember when Facebook bought Instagram for

00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:56.500
one billion dollars, and everybody was like,

00:15:56.500 --> 00:16:03.059
pssh. Bad move, guys. Yeah. You really overpaid

00:16:03.059 --> 00:16:07.080
for that dog shit. Yeah. Netflix just did something

00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:10.279
similar. Well, they're trying to buy... No, they

00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.659
did buy fucking Paramount and... No, they're

00:16:12.659 --> 00:16:15.259
trying to. And HBO Max. They haven't done it.

00:16:15.259 --> 00:16:17.139
They haven't done it. They're trying to. Yeah.

00:16:17.139 --> 00:16:21.340
They haven't done it yet. But fuck. It's like

00:16:21.340 --> 00:16:25.039
Netflix is gonna own the world of movies. Nah.

00:16:25.460 --> 00:16:28.379
They still got Disney as a counterpoint. That's

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:31.980
true. Yeah. Although people like boycotting Disney

00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:34.960
now. Well, you know, everybody gets their shit

00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:38.000
in a bunch about something. What were they boycotting

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.320
Disney about a couple months ago? Who fucking

00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:42.360
knows? Remember when everybody was pissed off

00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.980
because they made the Little Mermaid black and

00:16:44.980 --> 00:16:47.539
people were freaking out? They're like, mermaids

00:16:47.539 --> 00:16:51.820
are white. Yeah, dude. You can't do that. Mermaids

00:16:51.820 --> 00:16:54.259
are white. And I'm like, dude, mermaids aren't

00:16:54.259 --> 00:17:01.470
real. Mermaids are white. How do you know, man?

00:17:01.669 --> 00:17:05.450
How do you know? People were fucking, like, veins

00:17:05.450 --> 00:17:07.690
were bulging out of their foreheads. That's like

00:17:07.690 --> 00:17:11.089
saying Aquaman is a real superhero. Dude, yeah.

00:17:11.730 --> 00:17:14.950
There's fucking, like... There's this thing where,

00:17:14.950 --> 00:17:18.089
like, black people like to cosplay as much, well,

00:17:18.269 --> 00:17:19.930
maybe not as much as white people, but there

00:17:19.930 --> 00:17:22.349
are black people who like to cosplay. And if

00:17:22.349 --> 00:17:24.710
one of them goes to a convention cosplaying as

00:17:24.710 --> 00:17:26.990
Superman, people will give them shit, because

00:17:26.990 --> 00:17:30.269
they're like, Superman is white! And here's the

00:17:30.269 --> 00:17:34.930
thing. Superman is not a Caucasian. He's a fucking

00:17:34.930 --> 00:17:39.910
space alien. And you're freaking out? From a

00:17:39.910 --> 00:17:42.009
make -believe place. From a make -believe place.

00:17:42.470 --> 00:17:45.349
Called Krypton. Yeah. And you're freaking out

00:17:45.349 --> 00:17:47.950
because you don't like the melanin in the skin

00:17:47.950 --> 00:17:50.490
of the guy wearing the fucking underpants on

00:17:50.490 --> 00:17:55.730
his outside? It's crazy, dude. Dude, people get

00:17:55.730 --> 00:17:58.789
worked up over the craziest stuff. It is so fucking,

00:17:58.789 --> 00:18:01.410
but that, the little mermaid thing. The little,

00:18:01.430 --> 00:18:03.230
I remember the little mermaid thing. That blew

00:18:03.230 --> 00:18:07.759
my people were. Live it. Mermaids are white!

00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:11.900
Yeah. They'd even like say stuff like, I'm not

00:18:11.900 --> 00:18:17.339
a racist, but mermaids are white. Yeah. I was

00:18:17.339 --> 00:18:22.240
like, ah, shit, man. Technically, that's not

00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:25.599
a racist statement. It's just like, do you actually

00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:29.059
think mermaids are real? That's my bigger question.

00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.059
That's crazy. Like, dude, Disney people freak

00:18:33.059 --> 00:18:35.710
me out. Oh, yeah, people who are all into Disney.

00:18:35.789 --> 00:18:37.690
Yeah, they freaked me out. It's like, dude, you're

00:18:37.690 --> 00:18:40.410
a grown -ass adult and you're gonna walk 17 miles,

00:18:40.809 --> 00:18:43.150
stand in line for three hours to get on a 10

00:18:43.150 --> 00:18:46.549
-minute ride, and then go see some fucking people

00:18:46.549 --> 00:18:49.450
that are dressed up in a costume. Yeah. Dance

00:18:49.450 --> 00:18:54.710
around. Yeah. A pass. Yeah. Like, dude. And there's

00:18:54.710 --> 00:18:57.589
people that are like, I got a co -worker. She's

00:18:57.589 --> 00:19:01.089
like, really into Disney, dude. No, I know people

00:19:01.089 --> 00:19:03.829
who are really into Disney. Like her... Her back,

00:19:04.650 --> 00:19:07.049
her bumper stickers are all fucking Disney bumper

00:19:07.049 --> 00:19:09.609
stickers. Like, you know what I mean? Like the

00:19:09.609 --> 00:19:12.490
happiest place on earth or whatever. Dude, you're

00:19:12.490 --> 00:19:14.329
spending, so you're spending, you're telling

00:19:14.329 --> 00:19:16.329
me to go to the happiest place on earth. You're

00:19:16.329 --> 00:19:19.210
going to spend what? Like 200 bucks for tickets

00:19:19.210 --> 00:19:23.720
for one person. You're going to spend... at least

00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:25.680
another 200 bucks on food or whatever when you

00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:27.420
get in the place, because you're gonna eat when

00:19:27.420 --> 00:19:28.960
you're there. You're not smart enough to bring

00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:30.900
your own food. Yeah, not to mention Disneyland

00:19:30.900 --> 00:19:33.400
is like 400 miles away from here. Yeah. Yeah.

00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:38.380
And you're gonna walk 17 miles. I mean, 17's

00:19:38.380 --> 00:19:41.660
just an average, I'm thinking. Right. Right.

00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.579
It could be longer. I very much doubt it's that

00:19:45.579 --> 00:19:47.700
long. Yeah. But I know what you're saying. But

00:19:47.700 --> 00:19:49.599
you're gonna stand in line for three fucking

00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:53.160
hours. Yeah. to go on a ride that lasts 10 minutes.

00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:56.500
If that. If that. Yeah. How many rides actually

00:19:56.500 --> 00:20:01.339
last 10 minutes? Right. And then so maybe, maybe

00:20:01.339 --> 00:20:04.900
if you go all day, maybe you get three rides.

00:20:05.619 --> 00:20:10.480
Four. Well, I don't I don't think people really

00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:12.779
go to Disneyland for the rides. What the fuck

00:20:12.779 --> 00:20:14.940
are they doing there? I don't know. I'm not a

00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:17.700
Disney person, man. But they they seem to like

00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:22.039
it. Let them have the shit they like. Okay. Yeah,

00:20:22.059 --> 00:20:24.539
I just don't get it. So you're telling me you're

00:20:24.539 --> 00:20:26.160
gonna go to Disneyland You're gonna spend $200

00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:28.819
to get in and you're just gonna meander around

00:20:28.819 --> 00:20:32.279
for a day Yeah, and not going any of the fucking

00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:35.200
rides Why they're probably going some of the

00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:39.259
rats that that doesn't make sense. I don't know.

00:20:39.259 --> 00:20:41.500
I don't know what to tell you I don't know what

00:20:41.500 --> 00:20:43.900
to tell you Disneyland doesn't make sense to

00:20:43.900 --> 00:20:46.460
me. It doesn't make sense to me either. But but

00:20:46.460 --> 00:20:49.759
people go a lot of people go. Yeah. Yeah, and

00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:53.490
they have that They have the whole Disney Tell

00:20:53.490 --> 00:20:55.970
me man the way my dad and wife school and I'm

00:20:55.970 --> 00:20:58.130
gonna wind up with the girlfriend that that's

00:20:58.130 --> 00:21:01.170
fucking into Disney Swear that's good. It's gonna

00:21:01.170 --> 00:21:03.130
happen. You know what a girlfriend? That's into

00:21:03.130 --> 00:21:06.349
Disney is at least it's like you never have to

00:21:06.349 --> 00:21:08.289
wonder what to get her for her birthday, right?

00:21:08.769 --> 00:21:10.990
Just get her a goddamn Disney thing, right? And

00:21:10.990 --> 00:21:12.569
you're gonna I'm gonna be one of those fucking

00:21:12.569 --> 00:21:16.069
dudes. I just keep it all inside I keep it all

00:21:16.069 --> 00:21:22.259
inside how irritated I am My wife likes the Spice

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:26.119
Girls. She's not all about the Spice Girls, but

00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:28.240
sometimes I'll walk into the room and she's listening

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:30.299
to the Spice Girls. But if there was a Spice

00:21:30.299 --> 00:21:35.259
Girls reunion, would she flip out? No. I don't

00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:37.619
believe so. I've never known your wife to be

00:21:37.619 --> 00:21:39.460
the kind of person that flips out over stuff.

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:42.339
Oh, she'll flip out over stuff, but not over

00:21:42.339 --> 00:21:44.480
a Spice Girls reunion. She probably, she seems

00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:46.460
like more she'd flip out over some kind of weird

00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:50.460
animal part. Yeah. Or, or an unexpected puddle

00:21:50.460 --> 00:21:53.660
indoors. Like if I get out of the shower and

00:21:53.660 --> 00:21:56.059
I haven't fully dried off. Right. I mean, she

00:21:56.059 --> 00:22:00.420
won't flip out, but she, she, I, I feel like

00:22:00.420 --> 00:22:05.930
it's a bit of an overreaction. It's a puddle

00:22:05.930 --> 00:22:11.529
inside. The bathroom is flooded. Oh, you like

00:22:11.529 --> 00:22:13.710
that, huh? Yeah, I'm like. I'm talking like flip,

00:22:14.009 --> 00:22:15.430
like just freaking, like, you know how people

00:22:15.430 --> 00:22:17.349
get when their favorite bands are united? Yes,

00:22:17.349 --> 00:22:19.670
I do. I do. That's what I mean. Not like get

00:22:19.670 --> 00:22:22.049
angry at you. Yeah. No, I once had a girlfriend

00:22:22.049 --> 00:22:24.690
who, who her favorite band did like a reunion

00:22:24.690 --> 00:22:28.130
show. Right. And she, and she missed it. She

00:22:28.130 --> 00:22:31.750
didn't hear about it. And it was a whole fucking

00:22:31.750 --> 00:22:33.950
thing. It was a whole thing, wasn't it? I mean,

00:22:34.049 --> 00:22:36.029
I flipped out. There was a time, there was like

00:22:36.029 --> 00:22:40.869
back in 96, I'm dating myself here. Yeah. But

00:22:40.869 --> 00:22:43.589
back in the year of our Lord, 1996. 30 years

00:22:43.589 --> 00:22:46.289
ago. Yeah. The original Kiss group, the original

00:22:46.289 --> 00:22:48.950
members of Kiss got back together. Yeah. All

00:22:48.950 --> 00:22:51.869
four of them, the original guys. Yeah. And I

00:22:51.869 --> 00:22:54.430
flipped out on that because I, like as a kid,

00:22:54.470 --> 00:22:58.700
I was like a huge Kiss fan. Yeah. I get it. But

00:22:58.700 --> 00:23:01.980
tickets were like 350 bucks for cheap seats,

00:23:01.980 --> 00:23:04.940
so. And in the 90s, that is a lot of money. Yeah,

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:07.619
so I was like, eh, I'll pass. In the 90s, that

00:23:07.619 --> 00:23:10.400
was your rent. Yeah, and that was like more than,

00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:13.099
that was like, I don't know, man, I was paying

00:23:13.099 --> 00:23:16.119
quite a bit of money for rent even in the 90s.

00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:19.819
Yeah. But yeah, I can't get, because like I would,

00:23:19.900 --> 00:23:21.559
I flipped out when they got, when I heard they

00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:23.480
were getting back together. Yeah. Right. And

00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:25.529
then they promised, it's great in any way. They

00:23:25.529 --> 00:23:26.950
promised us a great new album, and it turned

00:23:26.950 --> 00:23:29.029
out to be a crappy album. Of course. That's the

00:23:29.029 --> 00:23:31.089
other thing that's a bummer. Nobody says, we're

00:23:31.089 --> 00:23:33.349
working on a new album, and we think it's gonna

00:23:33.349 --> 00:23:37.150
suck. That's the other thing. Like, your favorite

00:23:37.150 --> 00:23:38.670
band gets back together, and they're like, dude,

00:23:38.970 --> 00:23:40.710
we're gonna work on new music, we're gonna work

00:23:40.710 --> 00:23:42.250
on new music, and then they release something,

00:23:42.250 --> 00:23:45.799
and you're like, fuck. Yeah. That, really? Mm

00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.680
-hmm. Like when Halleke and Lou Reed did a record

00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.740
together. I don't remember that. What I do remember

00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:54.180
is, and this is the thing that I've brought it

00:23:54.180 --> 00:23:56.400
up a bunch of times on the podcast. Right. And

00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:58.799
this is the thing, it like left a scar on my

00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:02.319
psyche. The Offsprings album following Americana.

00:24:02.339 --> 00:24:05.319
Yeah, that one's crap too. Was such garbage.

00:24:05.539 --> 00:24:08.740
To me, Americana was crap. I thought Americana

00:24:08.740 --> 00:24:11.119
was a pretty good album. Because I liked the

00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:14.380
first two. I liked Smash and I liked Extain on

00:24:14.380 --> 00:24:16.039
the Ombre. Yeah, those were great albums. And

00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:17.900
then they came out with Americana. Which felt

00:24:17.900 --> 00:24:20.240
like a bit of a sellout. Yeah, until I heard

00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:23.880
the kids are in our work. Yeah, it was overall

00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.339
a good album. It was solid. But Metallica, how

00:24:27.339 --> 00:24:29.140
have you not heard that Metallica did an album

00:24:29.140 --> 00:24:34.380
with Lou Reed? Because... I haven't really paid

00:24:34.380 --> 00:24:38.119
much attention to Metallica's new releases since

00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:41.079
Reload. Really? Yeah. And that was back in the

00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.759
90s, I guess. Yeah. But here's the thing. Here's

00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.240
the thing. Like, I loved their first five albums

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:51.240
or whatever. Right, everybody does. And then

00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:53.799
Load, and I'm like, yeah, it's OK. And then Reload,

00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:55.819
and I'm like, you know... You know what's happened

00:24:55.819 --> 00:24:58.000
to me recently? What? Is Load has grown on me.

00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:00.779
I hated Load when it came out. Yeah. And like

00:25:00.779 --> 00:25:04.099
Glass... I want to say year. Yeah. I started

00:25:04.099 --> 00:25:06.140
listening to it because they reissued it. Yeah.

00:25:06.579 --> 00:25:09.660
A bunch of remixes and shit. And I started listening

00:25:09.660 --> 00:25:11.680
to it. I'm like, dude, this isn't actually half

00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:14.220
bad. I mean, there's some songs on there. You

00:25:14.220 --> 00:25:15.660
could kind of be like, hey, I could kind of give

00:25:15.660 --> 00:25:18.200
it. I don't really need that one, but that's

00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:20.359
what the skip button is for. A few months ago,

00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:22.700
I relistened to Conspiracy of One. Right. Out

00:25:22.700 --> 00:25:25.460
of curiosity. Right. Just to see if maybe like.

00:25:25.460 --> 00:25:28.900
Does it still suck? Yeah. Because like, like

00:25:28.900 --> 00:25:33.490
the prequel trilogy. of Star Wars, I was a little

00:25:33.490 --> 00:25:37.009
pissed off at when it came out, but it's aged

00:25:37.009 --> 00:25:40.009
really well. Yeah, it has. I remember when those

00:25:40.009 --> 00:25:42.650
movies came out, everybody had something to say.

00:25:43.390 --> 00:25:46.410
Yeah. So I thought maybe Conspiracia 1 has aged

00:25:46.410 --> 00:25:51.109
well. No, man, it's aged like a turd. No, there's

00:25:51.109 --> 00:25:53.470
like one, there's maybe one gets dug in on that

00:25:53.470 --> 00:25:57.670
album. It's no longer as offensive as it was,

00:25:57.690 --> 00:26:01.440
it's now just a stale turd. Right. But no, so

00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.819
Metallica did an album with Lee Reed called Lulu.

00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:08.480
Okay. It is a reverse pile of garbage. Like,

00:26:08.660 --> 00:26:10.660
and I love Metallica, don't get me wrong. Yeah.

00:26:11.350 --> 00:26:13.529
But they did that, and then they did fucking

00:26:13.529 --> 00:26:15.569
Some Kind of Monster, right? Those two records.

00:26:15.970 --> 00:26:17.730
Like Lululemon, Some Kind of Monster. Or maybe

00:26:17.730 --> 00:26:19.369
it was the other way around. I can't remember,

00:26:19.490 --> 00:26:21.329
but what I do remember is both those albums were

00:26:21.329 --> 00:26:23.029
fucking horrible. Yeah, Some Kind of Monster

00:26:23.029 --> 00:26:24.630
was not great. Right? The only thing good about

00:26:24.630 --> 00:26:26.289
Some Kind of Monster was the little movie they

00:26:26.289 --> 00:26:28.029
did when they came out there. I like the movie.

00:26:28.569 --> 00:26:30.390
Yeah. The little behind the scene, the little,

00:26:30.730 --> 00:26:33.609
the little, how everything went to shit. Yeah.

00:26:33.750 --> 00:26:36.839
Yeah. But dude, this Lou Reed album, the other

00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:38.880
day I tried to like, I was at the gym and I was

00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:40.339
like, I need something to listen to. And I'm

00:26:40.339 --> 00:26:42.839
like, it came up on my Spotify thing. So you

00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:45.539
gave it a shot. I gave it a shot, dude. And I'm

00:26:45.539 --> 00:26:47.400
like two minutes into this thing and I'm like,

00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:50.039
this is garbage. Garbage. Cause you hear Lou

00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:53.740
Reed and it's fucking, he doesn't sing, dude.

00:26:54.339 --> 00:26:57.259
He doesn't sing. He like talks. If you've ever

00:26:57.259 --> 00:27:00.559
listened to Lou Reed, you know, Hey babe, take

00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:03.559
a ride on the wild side. Oh, that's Lou Reed?

00:27:03.740 --> 00:27:07.650
Yeah. Okay. do do do do do do do do that part

00:27:07.650 --> 00:27:10.390
is yeah but okay yeah he doesn't really sing

00:27:10.390 --> 00:27:12.509
dude he's like it sounds like he's reading something

00:27:12.509 --> 00:27:14.529
and then you got James Hetfield screaming and

00:27:14.529 --> 00:27:16.630

00:27:30.849 --> 00:27:33.200
past track one on that Sometimes you do have

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:35.819
to get into the deeper tracks. Sometimes they

00:27:35.819 --> 00:27:37.920
think they like really knocked it out of the

00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.279
park with the first track. Right. And it's just

00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:42.900
them being too enamored with their own work.

00:27:42.980 --> 00:27:45.319
Right. But there is some decent stuff after.

00:27:45.579 --> 00:27:47.799
Not this album. Not this album, no. No. Everybody

00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:49.660

00:27:57.970 --> 00:28:01.029

00:28:04.609 --> 00:28:06.490
I just put it down. I was just like, no, I'm

00:28:06.490 --> 00:28:09.589
not going to listen to that. I would rather listen

00:28:09.589 --> 00:28:13.869
to, oh yeah, that's the other thing. One of my

00:28:13.869 --> 00:28:15.490
predictions is they're going to come true in

00:28:15.490 --> 00:28:19.049
2026, too. Okay. The boy band thing. All right.

00:28:19.609 --> 00:28:22.420
Because they just released... that they, the

00:28:22.420 --> 00:28:24.319
festival they have up in Napa. Oh yeah, the Bottle

00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:26.740
Rock. Yeah. Guess who one of the headline bands

00:28:26.740 --> 00:28:29.700
is. Is it NSYNC? No. Is it Backstreet Boys? Yes.

00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:33.400
Is it really? Yes. I fucking wanna go. Yeah,

00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.900
I tell you. I do. I had a good, I had this friend,

00:28:38.299 --> 00:28:40.700
this girl, she was my friend, we weren't fooling

00:28:40.700 --> 00:28:42.920
around or anything, she was just my friend. And

00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:45.759
she was really into the Backstreet Boys. And

00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:49.680
she fucking suckered me in. Dude, and then like,

00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:53.210
I hate to admit it. But I kind of got into it,

00:28:53.230 --> 00:28:55.490
right? Mm -hmm. She got me with that song. There's

00:28:55.490 --> 00:28:59.950
this song they did Show me the meaning of being

00:28:59.950 --> 00:29:02.450
lonely. Yeah, dude, fucking Backstreet Boys is

00:29:02.450 --> 00:29:04.789
good, dude. Tearjerker, dude. Tearjerker. Like,

00:29:04.789 --> 00:29:07.490
I'm like, I'm like death metal, like, you know

00:29:07.490 --> 00:29:10.069
what I mean? Hardcore metal, like, but you throw

00:29:10.069 --> 00:29:11.809
in a little Backstreet Boys song, dude. I ain't

00:29:11.809 --> 00:29:16.190
turning it. Yeah, I fucking, like, I dig me some

00:29:16.190 --> 00:29:19.130
Backstreet Boys. Right. And I never would have

00:29:19.130 --> 00:29:21.589
admitted that back when they were... I don't

00:29:21.589 --> 00:29:26.130
think any dude would. No. One time I was at home

00:29:26.130 --> 00:29:29.329
and I was fucking, and it was just me at home

00:29:29.329 --> 00:29:32.309
alone. Right. So I'm like bumping it on the main

00:29:32.309 --> 00:29:35.150
stereo. Right. And then there's a knock at the

00:29:35.150 --> 00:29:39.230
door. And you're like, oh shit. Yeah. And it

00:29:39.230 --> 00:29:41.470
was one of my friends and I'm like, oh, God damn

00:29:41.470 --> 00:29:44.410
it. Yeah, dude. There was some embarrassing stuff

00:29:44.410 --> 00:29:46.369
you couldn't get into back in the day. Like now

00:29:46.369 --> 00:29:48.009
you're just like, you know what? I'm cool with

00:29:48.009 --> 00:29:50.480
that stuff. Yeah. What was it? There's another

00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:52.279
band. There was like a new wave band in the 80s

00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:54.880
that all the girls were into. Duran Duran. All

00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:57.180
right. Duran Duran was like huge in the 80s.

00:29:57.180 --> 00:30:00.900
Yeah. Like they were like fucking huge. All I

00:30:00.900 --> 00:30:03.079
really remember about Duran Duran is that Duran

00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:05.819
Duran is neither Duran nor Duran. There's no

00:30:05.819 --> 00:30:08.759
Duran or Duran. That's an SNL deep cut for you.

00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:11.960
Yes, it is. But, dude, they got some good shit

00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:14.339
too. Yeah. And like, you know what? It's all

00:30:14.339 --> 00:30:16.259
right to listen to some Duran Duran and little

00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:19.099
Backstreet Boys. Mm -hmm. It kind of rips. Yeah.

00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:22.460
It kind of rips, if I'm being honest. Yeah. You

00:30:22.460 --> 00:30:24.759
know what I mean? It does. Get you a little fucking

00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:27.119
Backstreet Boys sesh. Yeah, dude. Sitting in

00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:29.160
your fucking... Fucking Backstreet's back, all

00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:32.599
right? Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, man, that's our

00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:35.119
episode. Kind of a... I don't know, I think it

00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:37.880
was pretty good. Just kind of bullshitting. Yeah.

00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:41.599
That's when we're at our best. Yes. Yeah. You

00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:43.700
know, if you listened all the way through, thank

00:30:43.700 --> 00:30:45.920
you. Yeah. Hey, do you have any more predictions

00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:49.720
for... for the year 2026? I don't. I think I

00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:51.619
used them all up, man. All right. Many other.

00:30:51.740 --> 00:30:54.519
I'll try to come up with one. I mean, we're already

00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:57.480
like a week into it. All right. I predict in

00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:02.400
in 2026, the American military will abduct a

00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:06.490
world leader. Oh, yeah. That's a spicy one there.

00:31:06.589 --> 00:31:08.849
It is, it is. Buckley, you saved it to the end,

00:31:08.950 --> 00:31:11.869
where we may have one person listening. Yeah,

00:31:12.730 --> 00:31:16.990
I also, like, though I knew this from the very

00:31:16.990 --> 00:31:20.589
beginning, I've only said it, like, two weeks

00:31:20.589 --> 00:31:24.730
after it already happened. Yeah. Yeah. Did we

00:31:24.730 --> 00:31:27.769
already do that? Yeah, that shit in Venezuela?

00:31:27.990 --> 00:31:31.910
Oh yeah, that's right. We did do that. Anyway,

00:31:31.970 --> 00:31:33.529

00:31:33.529 --> 00:31:36.019

Backstreet Boys song. Yeah, or about your day.

00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:44.359
Hey, Shane, I want you to look at something.

00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:46.619
What's that? You see this squash? It's a blue

00:31:46.619 --> 00:31:49.019
Hubbard squash, but from this angle, does it

00:31:49.019 --> 00:31:52.059
not look like a taut dog scrotum? I don't know

00:31:52.059 --> 00:31:54.400
what a taut dog scrotum is. Do you know what

00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:56.160
a scrotum is? I know what a scrotum is. Do you

00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:58.740
know what a dog is? I know what a dog is. All

00:31:58.740 --> 00:32:01.660
right, when a dog scrotum gets tight... Right.

00:32:01.700 --> 00:32:05.500
Right. And it's kind of smooth with the two balls

00:32:05.500 --> 00:32:09.079
poking out. I don't look at a dog scrotum, dude.

00:32:09.140 --> 00:32:11.039
You've never had a dog roll over and be like,

00:32:11.220 --> 00:32:13.460
hey, rub my belly, and there's a scrotum? You

00:32:13.460 --> 00:32:15.880
can't not see it. It's right there. I've only

00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:19.779
had female dogs, dude. I've also only had female

00:32:19.779 --> 00:32:22.900
dogs, but I've... I've been present for many

00:32:22.900 --> 00:32:26.319
male dogs. Like they've just been around in the

00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:30.900
world as I've been living. Right. I've never

00:32:30.900 --> 00:32:33.700
looked at a dog's scrotum, okay? I sure have.

00:32:34.259 --> 00:32:38.579
Sorry. I sure have. I have not. And this blue

00:32:38.579 --> 00:32:41.779
Hubbard squash looks like a taut dog scrotum.

00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:45.140
All right. On that note, that shit was funny.

00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:47.960
Thank you. On that note, it is time to cue the

00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:50.950
