Speaker 1: I feel like there's no base in the barbershop quartela,
Speaker 1: like there's that nobody's like deep box and with the
Speaker 1: barbershop quartepets just like I can only see that. That's
Speaker 1: that's the problem. What we need to do is put
Speaker 1: people onto the history of the barbershop music because it
Speaker 1: starts in African American culture and then it got Man
Speaker 1: of May divide over time and we got that you know,

Speaker 1: that was there crash Shout out the b Sharks. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean like I really like acapella
Speaker 1: groups because if they if they can like really find
Speaker 1: a way to make a song sound good as like
Speaker 1: an acapella track, then I'm like the song the song stands.
Speaker 1: That's why for a long time I got into a
Speaker 1: huge YouTube like wormhole of looking for Kiss from a
Speaker 1: Rose but acap like college acapella groups to see who

Speaker 1: feels like. I can handle it. Yeah, it's um, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's great. A lot of pictures, a lot of videos.
Speaker 1: Cute kid. I remember right before the birth, you tweeted
Speaker 1: something to the effect of, like, yo, I can't wait
Speaker 1: to be so tired, like I can't wait to pick up.
Speaker 1: I was just like yeah, like Magan carrying the child
Speaker 1: tag me in coach, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: red lining out there until my untill i have no
Speaker 1: gas in me. And now you're saying you got there,
Speaker 1: you found, you found the spot, and you're you're you're
Speaker 1: surviving well, I definitely. Yeah, I think I told you guys.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm ready to contribute, and like it
Speaker 1: was if he there, if that was like when I
Speaker 1: was actually contributing, man, that is tough. It was. I
Speaker 1: had to walk the walk and there was times when
Speaker 1: I was like should I just walk out the door
Speaker 1: like here, you know I but I got to handle
Speaker 1: on it. No poop is too gross. You know. There's
Speaker 1: there's Google. I think Jack, you told me you're just
Speaker 1: like googling everything. I mean, I'm like a master of
Speaker 1: looking things up. It's um, you know, it's I've learned
Speaker 1: a lot, and it's all very useful information, so as
Speaker 1: opposed to me just like looking up nineties NBA stats.
Speaker 1: So it feels good to to contribute and to bring
Speaker 1: a life into this world. I mean I didn't physically,
Speaker 1: I mean I did at one part, but yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, No, I don't want to say so brief,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it is like the enjoyable part. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever heard somebody be like you kid
Speaker 1: about their own kid, you know, because I'm just like
Speaker 1: this kid could have looked like anything. I don't know,
Speaker 1: if I see that that contributes to me wanting to
Speaker 1: raise him. Yeah, yeah, you do not have a hot
Speaker 1: take about your kids. Like Megan, his brother take a
Speaker 1: shot to the family, not the good one either, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Does Magan have brothers? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got two really really good brothers. They spend a
Speaker 1: whole week with them July four. The family coming in,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the other aspect of it all is
Speaker 1: like you just gotta get through family coming in constantly,
Speaker 1: like if they do help, but it also is like
Speaker 1: you gotta entertain or like more cups are you know? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like they can help with the exhausting parts of
Speaker 1: like the baby, but then they are exhausting and they're
Speaker 1: also pooping up their back. Yeah, they're popping up their
Speaker 1: back there clogging toilets. You know what. There's a lot
Speaker 1: like poop. The poop drama does not stop at the
Speaker 1: you know what. I mean, that's an all ages activity,
Speaker 1: it is. I'm glad it turns out true. Some things
Speaker 1: don't change. Yeah, my parents have not. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I want to put my parents on blast they
Speaker 1: listen to this. But let's say that there's we've had
Speaker 1: some I don't think we've gone one trip where they
Speaker 1: visited without a plumbing issue of one sort. Believe it
Speaker 1: at that, that's you know, maybe we'll cut that. You
Speaker 1: only left two suspects. The biggest question what I'm trying
Speaker 1: to do is trying to figure out because I feel
Speaker 1: like you can really tell the type of person with
Speaker 1: what they do with the plunger after you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, because there is no like protocol. It's like
Speaker 1: you gotta use some critical thinking. So it's like what
Speaker 1: did you do with it? And where did you put it? Right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I won't say when the kitchen sink, watching
Speaker 1: it in the kitchens to try for the place to
Speaker 1: dry in the Oh yeah, growing up, we remember our
Speaker 1: plunger was in a plastic shopping bag, like in the
Speaker 1: corner and like there was and I remember going to
Speaker 1: places people's house. I'm like, Yo, you just got the
Speaker 1: loose plunger. What do you think happen? Where do you
Speaker 1: think that goes? Like when it's being used and then
Speaker 1: after your we just let it settle there. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've mastered the art of like tapping it on the
Speaker 1: rim of the toilet to get all the excess water
Speaker 1: off at the end and then like sheathing it in
Speaker 1: the plastic bag again. But when you got hell yeah,
Speaker 1: because I wanted to sound more I wanted to sound
Speaker 1: more official than like throwing that ship back into shopping bag.
Speaker 1: I've gotten much better. Like that is one of the
Speaker 1: old old man's skills that I feel like it has improved,
Speaker 1: like drastically over the course of my life. Is like
Speaker 1: unclogging a toilet. I just had that thought the other day.
Speaker 1: I was unclogging a toilet. It was like, damn, I
Speaker 1: really have this now. It's all about getting the water
Speaker 1: in the plunger. You need to fill the plunger up
Speaker 1: with water of my childhood was like, oh, I think
Speaker 1: it's one more flush and it's fixed. It was like
Speaker 1: going downstairs and watching the waterfall and be like this
Speaker 1: is the worst thing that could ever happen, right, I
Speaker 1: like you bigging up yourself, like because why is your
Speaker 1: plunging a twenty You're like, damn, looking in the mirror
Speaker 1: like you gotta have motherfucker. Oh it's you, that's right now,
Speaker 1: that is correct, it's him. Yeah, a lot of experience.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put it put it out there, all right.
Speaker 1: We are gonna get to know you a little bit
Speaker 1: better in a moment. C J. First, we're gonna tell
Speaker 1: our listeners a couple of things. We're talking about. The
Speaker 1: Democrats and Republicans are united. You know, everybody's like the
Speaker 1: big problem in this country's polarization. Well, there is one
Speaker 1: thing that Democrats and Republicans can unite around, and that
Speaker 1: is that they do not want a rematch of They
Speaker 1: do not want that same candidate in there. And we
Speaker 1: will ask the broad societal question is it disrespectful to
Speaker 1: blast music at the beach? And we might even get
Speaker 1: to some just first reactions to the web telescope photographs, which, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're freaking me out, freaking me yeah, man, they are
Speaker 1: freaking me out. Those images, They're so there, they are
Speaker 1: a site to behold. My god. Yeah, people, I feel
Speaker 1: like a lot of the questions I'm seeing on social
Speaker 1: media are the questions that occurred to me when I
Speaker 1: would get too high when I was younger, Just like, oh,
Speaker 1: none of this matters. We're just We're just a brief
Speaker 1: gurgling of biological activity between long spans of existence as
Speaker 1: space dust, and people are like, oh wow, it's really big.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, a second. Fuck. Oh no, that's what we
Speaker 1: all need to be doing drugs and all be on
Speaker 1: that same Yeah what, I just realize you're insignificant. That's
Speaker 1: the biggest step. Man. Let you go die. You ain't ship.
Speaker 1: But before we get to ego death, c J, we
Speaker 1: like to ask our guest, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history? M hmm, something from my search history would
Speaker 1: be I mean the Plunger thing for sure, But we
Speaker 1: don't need to talk about that anymore. We'll pull something
Speaker 1: up right now. Let me just type in what you
Speaker 1: do with plunger after using I mean, I feel like
Speaker 1: this is the wrong show. But right now I've just
Speaker 1: my my top search. The latest search was Lakers first
Speaker 1: round picks, as you know, summer free agency. It's just
Speaker 1: like it's yeah, I entered my brain and has yet
Speaker 1: to leave. So I'm trying. I'm looking into the facts
Speaker 1: right now that that we will not have first round picks.
Speaker 1: This is the show, by the way, because this is
Speaker 1: the our other shows a partnership with the b I,
Speaker 1: so you can't like talk gotcha, gotcha? So this is
Speaker 1: where you get I mean, as you know, it's because
Speaker 1: c J. Also, you know, which were I feel like
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to in a second. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: Lakers first day for summer leagues happening. I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: running away from again all my responsibilities, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: how do we get this guy Retrade done? And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm with Lebron. I do not care
Speaker 1: about first round picks. Where are they even in our future?
Speaker 1: Get rid of them all. We don't need them. Who
Speaker 1: even is the first It's not even a person, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like that, It's like that space picture. We we
Speaker 1: don't even know what it is, but get rid of it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a theoretical probability cloud. Exactly. At most
Speaker 1: that first round pick is what four? What, let's thirteen
Speaker 1: right now? Now we're good. I don't need that thirteen
Speaker 1: year old No oh, you mean age. Although you're like,
Speaker 1: the Lakers are so good they wouldn't be anywhere lower
Speaker 1: than thirteen. That's why I made that. I'm just like
Speaker 1: kind of even conceptualize a first round draft pick from
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah, you know what I mean. I'm just
Speaker 1: like it's almost elite, Like it's illegal to be even
Speaker 1: thinking about the thirteen year old. That is good enough
Speaker 1: to not complete this Kyrie trade right now, right right, yeah,
Speaker 1: need not needed? What a gross profession. Like the people
Speaker 1: who are like scouts of like middle school students, like, uh,
Speaker 1: look at it, look at the you know, just the
Speaker 1: length this kid, look at the body? Well at it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's like you could be a little to invest Like
Speaker 1: if you're having an argument over like which like fifth
Speaker 1: grader is like the best in the country, You're like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, what the
Speaker 1: funk do you know about one of my searchers? Again,
Speaker 1: this is because I've been thinking about this goddamn picking
Speaker 1: that whole theory. One of the greatest MR Show sketches.
Speaker 1: Not to get all comedy nerd here, but it's it's
Speaker 1: based off a Hoop dreamer inspired by Hoop Dreams, where
Speaker 1: they go and it's recruiters literally visiting homes with babies
Speaker 1: and talking to their parents and they're like, upside, it's fantastic,
Speaker 1: that's amazing. What is something you think is underrated? The
Speaker 1: movie house guest I just I literally just d M
Speaker 1: somebody who said they were watching it, and I said,
Speaker 1: that is a very underrated movie house guest with Queenland
Speaker 1: No no, that that's bringing down the house house movie
Speaker 1: sin Bad and Phil Hartman. Oh yeah, guys, it's a
Speaker 1: great movie. That is, yet it's not talked about enough.
Speaker 1: Huh topic show and I I'm bringing it back to
Speaker 1: now the nineties. But house Guest sin Bad When Comedies
Speaker 1: Were Good released January six, powerful day in this country's history.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's also a very racist movie where it's
Speaker 1: a mix up where to to light skin. Black guys
Speaker 1: who do not look alike get mixed up, and Phil
Speaker 1: Hartman's like, yeah, this is my buddy from camp and
Speaker 1: it's like he looks nothing like the other guy. Oh no, Oh,
Speaker 1: so that's the problematic part of it. But other than that,
Speaker 1: Sinbad's a legend. Wait, so who's the other dude? Wait?
Speaker 1: So sin is sin Bad actually on the run because
Speaker 1: it's about somebody's sin Bad? Yeah, yeah, he his bookies
Speaker 1: are are coming out. He has like a gambling addiction
Speaker 1: and he owes money to his like bookies and they
Speaker 1: go after him. So he goes on the run. At
Speaker 1: the airport, he sees like, um, Phil Hartman and his
Speaker 1: family holding up a sign because he's meeting his like
Speaker 1: buddy from camp and he sees Yeah, yeah, he sees
Speaker 1: the buddy. The buddy is a light skin black guy, sinbad,
Speaker 1: light skin, and it was like, oh, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: up and pretend to be him. Oh man, and then
Speaker 1: the hilarity ensues. I just watched the whole trailer on
Speaker 1: I Am Deep Be the thing I mostly knew it
Speaker 1: as was the VHS cover with Simbed Simbed's head poking
Speaker 1: out of a mailbox. Yeah, because houses have mailback mailboxes,
Speaker 1: so he's the guests. Yeah, guess what surprise, surprise, motherfucker
Speaker 1: the mobs looking for me. The mom on the run
Speaker 1: from the mob was the premise of conservatively seventy of movies.
Speaker 1: On the run. That's that, or witness a murder and
Speaker 1: witness the murder and on the run or on the
Speaker 1: run from a mob. I think, well, most fish out
Speaker 1: of water experiences, as you guys know, happened because that
Speaker 1: person is always running from the mob. Yeah, exactly. You've
Speaker 1: had like three or four fish out of water adventures
Speaker 1: in my life, and almost exclusively on the run from
Speaker 1: a mob mix ups. Yeah, what what is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? Paper towels? Paper towels, I think, I think, um, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's you know what, I think it's more so like
Speaker 1: the expensive paper towels with all the technology. You know,
Speaker 1: Like the thing is, if if the one less technological
Speaker 1: paper towels isn't doing it, you just combine another sheet
Speaker 1: of that and it's getting it done. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't need to be you know, I'm grabbing whatever off
Speaker 1: the shelf, the quilted thick up. I don't need to quilt.
Speaker 1: I don't need to buy for my baby. We have quilts.
Speaker 1: Quilt is for sleeping. It's a that's a blanket. At
Speaker 1: that point, you're selling me disposable blankets. There's one brand
Speaker 1: that I like because it's so low fi. I forget
Speaker 1: what it's called, but like I just know off the
Speaker 1: strength of looking at it because there's no texture on it,
Speaker 1: and it like sticks to the role. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: There's patterns, like we're playing too much around with these patterns.
Speaker 1: Like I'm not gonna enjoy the decor of my paper towels.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna clean up ship with that, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So I want to actually want to like
Speaker 1: it less. I mean also to like the other thing
Speaker 1: is as I've become just increasingly water conscious. I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: just use that, Just use a like a dish rag
Speaker 1: like everything, and then just throw that ship in the
Speaker 1: washing machine. You know what I mean. Act mhmm, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean because if they don't use brawny, because that's
Speaker 1: the code Brothers paper tale. Oh yeah, fun brawny. I
Speaker 1: do feel like there there hasn't been a big pick
Speaker 1: up in paper towel technology like I feel. You know,
Speaker 1: I saw I saw the ads growing up where they
Speaker 1: would like do the pick up and then like ring
Speaker 1: it out like it was a real towel, the and
Speaker 1: it like wouldn't break. And I've never had a paper
Speaker 1: twel experience like that. I have noticed like a couple
Speaker 1: fast casual restaurants having a type of napkin available that
Speaker 1: is like much better than the previous types of napkin,
Speaker 1: Like they're almost like more more are like the disposable
Speaker 1: handtels that you find in like really fancy seasons bathroom. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like what public bathrooms have you? Have you noticed this?
Speaker 1: And yes, yeah, and I would describe it the exact
Speaker 1: same way, which is prior to that, I had only
Speaker 1: experienced a paper good like that from being a like
Speaker 1: a nine star hotel at as being in but I
Speaker 1: feel like there's there's something happening that's probably devastating to
Speaker 1: the ecology. But what I'm experiencing right now is so
Speaker 1: I had Chipotle the other day and they're napkins are
Speaker 1: already look like trash and dirty. Like I used to
Speaker 1: be like, oh, I didn't use all these napkins, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna save them. But Chipotle napkins I was just like
Speaker 1: furious with before I even used them. I was like,
Speaker 1: I have to throw these away, and there was a
Speaker 1: whole stack and they just like Also. Yeah, even though
Speaker 1: again I hate to keep called back in this, but
Speaker 1: like I use those as toilet paper when I was
Speaker 1: poor in Chicago. Oh yeah, apkins, Yeah yeah, you always
Speaker 1: gotta have them. So maybe that's just like the connector
Speaker 1: in my brain. Maybe that's that might be on my head, right,
Speaker 1: I would say toilet paper underrated when compared to any
Speaker 1: other options for using nothing compares like it. It turns
Speaker 1: out that that was probably the most powerful piece of
Speaker 1: CULD war propaganda I heard was growing up. They were like,
Speaker 1: the toilet paper in Russia is real bad. Like I
Speaker 1: knew somebody went over there and it was like fingers
Speaker 1: were popping through. That's why he's in a wheelchair. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because using the toilet paper over there told you it's dangerous. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, that's why. That's why I'm on that
Speaker 1: bad day life. You know what I mean? Oh you
Speaker 1: were you a baday a doctor during I mean I
Speaker 1: had a well, you know, like in Japan, it was
Speaker 1: like all the a lot of the toilets already have one.
Speaker 1: So I've been, I've been. I've been knowing about the
Speaker 1: bid day for some time. I only got it in
Speaker 1: my house since like the a podcast arab began and
Speaker 1: that was like a thing where every podcast was like, hey,
Speaker 1: you want to use a day. I'm like, fu, yeah
Speaker 1: I do, and life is Life has never been the
Speaker 1: same a fluctuation in the early podcast era when it
Speaker 1: was mandated to use a bi day. Yeah, I like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the eras that we've covered Cold War in podcasts. Cold
Speaker 1: War gave way to the podcast era. Well, uh, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break, we'll come back, we'll talk some politics,
Speaker 1: and we're back. And yeah. It took took a lot
Speaker 1: to bring the two parties together, but the Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden have done it. Both of of these
Speaker 1: candidates have caused their respective parties to be like, nah,
Speaker 1: fuck this, we will not be running it back please, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and to varying degrees, right, because it's we are in
Speaker 1: this moment where you ask anybody in America what they
Speaker 1: think about the country's direction, and you get the same answer,
Speaker 1: which is it's it's going down the toilet. Think it's
Speaker 1: going in the right direction for vastly different reasons. Right,
Speaker 1: if you're if you're a progressive person, you're like, man,
Speaker 1: we are as being so inhumane to people and we
Speaker 1: aren't seeing any progress like the kinds that the leadership
Speaker 1: I promised people. And if you're on the right, they're
Speaker 1: like things are too humane for certain groups of people
Speaker 1: and we're not regressing fast enough. Well, you look at
Speaker 1: these look at the theft of cvs. Is that's like,
Speaker 1: that's the main thing that I feel like, republic, The
Speaker 1: crime is out of control. Did you see all the shoplifting?
Speaker 1: Like that's not even a real story, bro? Is that
Speaker 1: Like do you even have a CBS or you live
Speaker 1: actually no different market. We don't have them in in
Speaker 1: my part of the country. But anyway, you know, you
Speaker 1: look at the polls right now, and it's like you're saying,
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. Democrats and Republicans would rather someone
Speaker 1: else for their respective party for the for their respective parties.
Speaker 1: For Democrats, the polls show that they are not impressed
Speaker 1: by Joe Biden and would rather see another person. So
Speaker 1: just twenty six percent of Democrats said they would prefer
Speaker 1: Biden as their party's candidate, sixty percent saying they want
Speaker 1: to see someone else had the ticket. That's of like
Speaker 1: registered voters. If you ask Democrats under thirty ninety four
Speaker 1: percent want Biden to g tf O h. I mean
Speaker 1: it just seems like physically that's gonna be a given
Speaker 1: regardless old yeah, I mean that what did you cover
Speaker 1: the thing when he was like end of line, repeat
Speaker 1: sentence when he ron Burgundy that ship, he's also perfectly
Speaker 1: happy to run it back and just like be slightly
Speaker 1: more popular than the Republican alternative. Like that's what he's saying.
Speaker 1: He's like, Hey, I don't I don't compare myself to
Speaker 1: the almighty, I compare myself to the other alternative. Like
Speaker 1: that's that's the thing that he repeatedly says. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like, no, man, people don't don't like you where
Speaker 1: we're like worried that you're going to die any minute,
Speaker 1: and you it's this is not it. My My only
Speaker 1: concern is that they're going to be like, all right,
Speaker 1: Vice President, you're up, because that's been also not great.
Speaker 1: There's some cool sound bites I caught over the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but I think, you know, most people rightly,
Speaker 1: they point to his age, and I honestly think every
Speaker 1: like I feel like that should be levied at, like
Speaker 1: every member of Congress right now, like y'all don't get
Speaker 1: it at all, and also just his job performance as
Speaker 1: key factors and why they're like, yeah, maybe we're better
Speaker 1: off with some a person who's merely not going like, well,
Speaker 1: at least I'm not this thing. Maybe provide a vision
Speaker 1: that you can follow through on. And then Republicans, how
Speaker 1: do they feel? Well, the younger fascists, they aren't feeling
Speaker 1: their old guy either. It seems a clear majority this
Speaker 1: from the New York Times, a clear majority of primary voters.
Speaker 1: So this is a specific group under thirty five years old.
Speaker 1: And also sixty five percent of those are at least
Speaker 1: a college degree, which they say is an indicator of
Speaker 1: where like the the donor classes, they told polsters they
Speaker 1: would vote against Trump in a presidential primary. They don't
Speaker 1: want to see Trump in a presidential primary. As it stands,
Speaker 1: across the board of GOP voters would support Trump in
Speaker 1: a primary. Word to happen today, would support Rotten de Santis,
Speaker 1: and that number seems to be growing. And I think
Speaker 1: it's the same thing with Republicans. They're kind of like, yeah, Trump,
Speaker 1: you know, he's that was cool and on he normalized
Speaker 1: a bunch of heinous ship, but like, we need somebody
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit younger, and also someone who's not
Speaker 1: so fixated on like getting revenge on his not exclusively
Speaker 1: fixated on that. Yeah, they do, they do point to
Speaker 1: that as being like, yeah, you know, but I think
Speaker 1: that we kind of lost steme on that one. And
Speaker 1: the January six things aren't helping because that's slowly putting
Speaker 1: more people into the Joe Biden one fair and square column.
Speaker 1: Like although very you know, in a small number, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it looks like this a similar issue for
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, especially when you have a sexy, young rond
Speaker 1: to Santis in the wing. But yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I still think I think he would win if they
Speaker 1: if they ran it back and it was Trump for
Speaker 1: his Biden be his Biden. It's just not like those
Speaker 1: numbers are still like the Biden numbers are wild, like
Speaker 1: percent want someone else. That's not like percent of Americans
Speaker 1: don't think he should like run across the spectrum. That's
Speaker 1: of demo corrects don't want him to run. Like I'm
Speaker 1: guessing they would still like vote for him in some cases,
Speaker 1: but I don't know, it's just wild that they're like
Speaker 1: I'm seeing the well Biden still leads Trump in like
Speaker 1: a head to head pollo percent to forty one percent,
Speaker 1: like being posed as a like positive like if Trump wins,
Speaker 1: if Trump runs and wins, like democracy is over in
Speaker 1: the country, we really can't like risk it and be
Speaker 1: like I think he has like the statistical edge, especially
Speaker 1: when like those sorts of statistics have been drastically under
Speaker 1: undercounting his support like from day one, like, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: fucking ourselves. If we run this back, well, we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens because we're dealing with two old guys who
Speaker 1: don't want to admit that they're past it either, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. The other interesting to mention Trump
Speaker 1: over the week end. He I don't know if you
Speaker 1: truth did or whatever whatever dumbass website he you know,
Speaker 1: he rants on. He goes on to kind of defend
Speaker 1: being old, even though like him and Biden are looking
Speaker 1: at the same problems with the base. Uh, it's his quote,
Speaker 1: President Biden is one of the oldest seventy nines in history.
Speaker 1: But but but by end of itself, he is not
Speaker 1: an old man. There are many people in their eighties
Speaker 1: and even nineties that are as good and sharp as ever.
Speaker 1: Biden is not one of them. But it has little
Speaker 1: to do with his age. In actuality. Life begins at eighty. Oh,
Speaker 1: I think we're going to see a rematch. God begins
Speaker 1: at eighty from day one, like there's that you can't
Speaker 1: stop him with a truck and the entire mite of
Speaker 1: the U. S. Army from running. Trump is running, that's
Speaker 1: for sure. And if he's not the Republican candidate, he's
Speaker 1: still running. Like it doesn't matter. He's gonna run. He's
Speaker 1: going to get a sizeable portion of the vote, like
Speaker 1: the we need the best candidate to stop him from
Speaker 1: actually winning. Well, this is what I'm curious, what what
Speaker 1: the Republican strategists are trying to do to They're like, fuck, okay,
Speaker 1: do we do we run him again? Clearly we feel
Speaker 1: that we could put like a younger, up and coming
Speaker 1: fascist in play and deliver on all the terrible like
Speaker 1: xenophobic theocratic dreams of like the base at the moment um.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I mean, like the thing that
Speaker 1: we've seen is they're not doing there there. They clearly
Speaker 1: fall in line when the when the hands are clapped
Speaker 1: together and they're told to get in their places. They
Speaker 1: also can't stop him. They tried to stop him in
Speaker 1: the primary and it didn't work. I mean they didn't
Speaker 1: try that hard, but like that's they tried as hard
Speaker 1: as a like middle of the road Republican is able
Speaker 1: to try, but they couldn't stop him, isn't And sorry
Speaker 1: I haven't said much. I'm just like just seeing all
Speaker 1: the doom and it's just like not getting any better.
Speaker 1: I'm like this is depressing. But either side, like we've
Speaker 1: clearly found the formula to win presidency is like a
Speaker 1: little bit of confidence delusion, and we like there's no
Speaker 1: other versions of that, even like I understand the game
Speaker 1: of of of it all and no one else wants
Speaker 1: to step up, right, Yeah, I mean I think there
Speaker 1: are probably Democrats who are, you know, biding their time
Speaker 1: and being like, all right, he's going to back down.
Speaker 1: Somebody needs to convince him to back down. I I
Speaker 1: am like, with every passing day, I'm more convinced, like
Speaker 1: we need a Bernie Air Apparent or like some sort
Speaker 1: of left leftist populist candidate, because not because like that
Speaker 1: those are my political views, but because we've tried, Like, so,
Speaker 1: what we've seen is that the mainstream Democrats repeatedly underperform
Speaker 1: at the polls. The Republican populist people are like, well,
Speaker 1: that did not go well, and there's just been like
Speaker 1: staggering support for like leftist populism since. But it is
Speaker 1: the one thing that America like will not allow itself
Speaker 1: to even like legitimize. So again, this was like what
Speaker 1: happened to Matthew McConaughey running. That was the perfect disguise
Speaker 1: because no one could tell is he a Republican? Remember, like,
Speaker 1: let's just yeah, we enjoy some of his movies. Because
Speaker 1: the thing is the president that position does not matter.
Speaker 1: We're saying, you know, with rovers Wade and it's like,
Speaker 1: all right, Biden, you clearly don't agree do something about
Speaker 1: it. And And if he can't do ship, then what's what's
Speaker 1: the position of power then? Um So I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll see another actor in there, an actor from our generation.
Speaker 1: I'm down. That is the question that I've had THO
Speaker 1: is like can he really not do ship? Because I've
Speaker 1: also seen people like pointing out that when, for instance,
Speaker 1: when Reagan wanted to change the drinking age in America
Speaker 1: from eighteen to twenty one, his administration just withheld like
Speaker 1: highway funding so like people can their roads, which is
Speaker 1: you know, like they just like wouldn't give them any
Speaker 1: money until they agreed to change their drinking age, which
Speaker 1: is like kind of a significant thing because it's like
Speaker 1: they had the some data that told them like that's
Speaker 1: what needed to happen, but it was going to cut
Speaker 1: out like a bunch of sales, right and like make
Speaker 1: them make the states lose money and they never recovered
Speaker 1: what's that the alcohol and spirits industry exactly that, But
Speaker 1: that's what they would have had you believe at that time.
Speaker 1: For sure. Yeah, I think I think Louisiana is the
Speaker 1: only one that's left that's that like just has crumbling
Speaker 1: roads and a drinking age of eighteen every everywhere else's
Speaker 1: they had to like come in line essentially. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I think in the era of like you know,
Speaker 1: cable news and things like that, it just becomes a story.
Speaker 1: And like already Democrats don't like are not willing to
Speaker 1: use the same kind of m hm levers that past
Speaker 1: administrations may have used to try and get the party
Speaker 1: in line. But I don't know, it's unless you're I mean,
Speaker 1: they'll definitely you'll feel the machine come against you if
Speaker 1: you're trying to do something that's like outside of the
Speaker 1: status quo. But yeah, it's yeah, I think the Republicans
Speaker 1: are better at obstructing democratic presidents. Then I feel like
Speaker 1: we just need more young people to fucking run, Like
Speaker 1: I just want to see people like I just want
Speaker 1: to see millennials argue like with seventy year old like
Speaker 1: lifetime politicians like on the floor of the Capitol and
Speaker 1: just be like, no, dude, you're so old. Just I
Speaker 1: can't even listen to you, like this is this is
Speaker 1: all nonsense? Like you don't I would get young people voted,
Speaker 1: that would that's like we need stuff that can end
Speaker 1: up on highlight reels. We don't need like we we
Speaker 1: try logical thinking and presenting, like of course we can't
Speaker 1: a band abortion like that. That statement alone doesn't do.
Speaker 1: But you gotta have like just radicals, you gotta have
Speaker 1: like people like young people who are just going nuts
Speaker 1: on this ship. Like if you look at all of
Speaker 1: our films right right now, it's all about like parents,
Speaker 1: Like apologizing to their kids is like the thrust of
Speaker 1: so many of like our millennial like written and directed
Speaker 1: like films and TV. It's kind of like this new
Speaker 1: thing where it's like parents are sorry about what they did.
Speaker 1: Meaning there's a lot of people actually don't like like uh,
Speaker 1: like the Disney one, like the like the big what
Speaker 1: was the big Red? You know, like there's a turning
Speaker 1: red or like everything everywhere all at once. There's like
Speaker 1: a lot of things where like adults are kind of
Speaker 1: looking back on like their hand and how their kids
Speaker 1: are or like what they're and and like that used
Speaker 1: to just be like not something considered. I think as
Speaker 1: millennials or people of a certain age, like we think
Speaker 1: about the connectedness of all that, and I feel like
Speaker 1: maybe as generationally there's something to be like, yo, bro,
Speaker 1: you can go yell at your stepdad if you run
Speaker 1: for office, but you can do it on the floor,
Speaker 1: and you can do it for like healthcare. Like we're
Speaker 1: talking about my parents are like in laws being in here,
Speaker 1: and I like straight up told my my father in law.
Speaker 1: I was like, we can't buy a house because your
Speaker 1: generation and your baby, but like you guys ruined it
Speaker 1: for us. And he was like I know, and I'm sorry, right,
Speaker 1: And so it was like we need that and a
Speaker 1: politician who was just like laying out how you guys
Speaker 1: ruin it, and like we just need someone who can
Speaker 1: change the system. It's it's not like we need someone
Speaker 1: to go in there and do the job. It's like
Speaker 1: the whole thing's got to change. That well, yeah, because
Speaker 1: the discourses too, it's like it's not quite communicating to
Speaker 1: the people like something that they innately feel, and it
Speaker 1: takes like it's like you see these moments where like
Speaker 1: you see certain back and forth between members of Congress
Speaker 1: and like someone who's like a real estate bank or
Speaker 1: something like whoa they just serve this like industry banker
Speaker 1: for like they're they're bad business practices And there is
Speaker 1: something where like you need more, like people need to
Speaker 1: understand that that's like a huge thing, like huge energetic
Speaker 1: thing to tap into. But when we leave it as
Speaker 1: like and vote for us to keep you know, make
Speaker 1: sure that you're educational costs are like that's not that
Speaker 1: this that ship doesn't connect with people anymore. It's like
Speaker 1: we need to get a YouTube influencer, a person who
Speaker 1: knows how to work the head the titles on YouTube,
Speaker 1: who knows the algorithm of TikTok but can apply just
Speaker 1: just just reasonable logical common sets. But like that, I
Speaker 1: mean for real, like maybe that's how, but no one's
Speaker 1: gonna do that because it's like, oh, I have a
Speaker 1: brand deal with freaking me Undy's um sorry, you guys
Speaker 1: have that, but uh, you know what I mean, right,
Speaker 1: it's like seven times this congress person powned the banking
Speaker 1: industry and the thumbnails like a banker with his eyes
Speaker 1: shooting out of their head, and like, damn, this is
Speaker 1: a great campaign. Ad I agree, But I mean we
Speaker 1: are seeing more people like who are like left leaning
Speaker 1: or young like having success in American Yeah, clitics, not
Speaker 1: not like the United States, but other like locally Central
Speaker 1: and South American countries and yeah, locally we're seeing it.
Speaker 1: It's just the mainstream media and corporate Democratic Party like
Speaker 1: fighting harder than even the Republicans. So that is like
Speaker 1: what needs to be overcome by our TikTok candidate. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and eventually, you know, you'll get co opted by the
Speaker 1: machine and they'll be like, yeah, man, that was great.
Speaker 1: I love how you get those bite sized things out. Now,
Speaker 1: can you say that in support of the Saudi Arabian
Speaker 1: arms deal? Right? Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back and talk about how gas is too
Speaker 1: cheat and we're back and yeah, so gas prices have
Speaker 1: been going down for you know, dozens of days now
Speaker 1: in a row. Yeah, and you know, shout out to
Speaker 1: Joe Biden for making not that happen. But I guess
Speaker 1: he also didn't make the gas prices go up, so
Speaker 1: we can we can well which one did he because
Speaker 1: if you watch right wing news, you don't know who
Speaker 1: the funk is in charge. When it's up, it's it's
Speaker 1: that goddamn Joe Byron, the gas demon, who's sending up
Speaker 1: the rates at the pump. But then if it goes down, okay,
Speaker 1: I don't I'll just play this clip from Fox where
Speaker 1: they're talking about how the annect the setup for the
Speaker 1: anecdote couldn't be like wasp bear um. But I'll just
Speaker 1: let you listen in. But they're talking about how God leave.
Speaker 1: The gas prices are going down, and they're quick to
Speaker 1: remind themselves, no, we can't pick up Joe Biden or nothing,
Speaker 1: or say this is good. I want him to run again,
Speaker 1: and the rest probably don't. That is stunning, by the way.
Speaker 1: On gas prices, I found a curious I was at
Speaker 1: a lacrosse tournament up in Wilmington, Delaware, over the weekend.
Speaker 1: In Delaware and northern Maryland, regular gas is about anywhere
Speaker 1: from four fifty five to four eight a gallon, So
Speaker 1: the price is beginning to creep back down. It is,
Speaker 1: it is, and the point was made over the weekend.
Speaker 1: I believe it's the Wall Street Journal that gas prices
Speaker 1: are actually coming back down historically faster with the price
Speaker 1: of oil than usual. And it just goes to show
Speaker 1: you what an incredible risk reward calculation has to happen
Speaker 1: on the part of those small, independently owned, most of
Speaker 1: them mom and pop gas stations. It's a struggle for
Speaker 1: all of them yeah, still a long way from three
Speaker 1: fifty five a gallon, but you know, maybe some move
Speaker 1: in that direction. Um so Cross Tournament, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's Wilmington, Delaware. It's just people who have the privilege
Speaker 1: to be mad. You know. It's like, I'm bored, I
Speaker 1: can be mad, be mad about whatever the fun they want. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like they don't because they it doesn't actually affect them.
Speaker 1: So they're just like watching it like a spectator sport
Speaker 1: and just being like, nah, funk that no matter no
Speaker 1: matter what direction it happens in. But I mean, that's
Speaker 1: pretty great. We went to it's been coming down. The
Speaker 1: gas prices are now they're on a steady downward trend.
Speaker 1: But actually, according to this other Rupert Murdoch owned fucking
Speaker 1: media outlet, the Wall Street Journal, because we're just gonna
Speaker 1: regurgitate the same bs back and forth into each other's
Speaker 1: mouths on the air, Um, it's actually terrible. This is
Speaker 1: actually terrible for all the mom and pop gas stations because,
Speaker 1: as you know, we're all about small businesses and we
Speaker 1: hate giant companies like Walmart who have laid waste a
Speaker 1: mom and oh wait no we aren't, Okay, So it's
Speaker 1: hard to find consistency throughout all of this. But yes,
Speaker 1: they they made this to become the falling gas prices
Speaker 1: are the plight of the independent owned gas station. Hm.
Speaker 1: I mean I get what they I guess maybe like
Speaker 1: a really broad theoretical sense, but to even try and
Speaker 1: spin that as like, yeah, but that's bad but the
Speaker 1: price is going down is bad? Yeah? Yeah, what is this? Alright?
Speaker 1: So c J, you have to run. Miles and I
Speaker 1: are going to stick around and talk about the important
Speaker 1: issue of whether it's okay to blast music at the beach.
Speaker 1: But first of all, thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, sorry, I had to run. Guys. Running
Speaker 1: the Break basketball podcast with with with iHeart Media. It is, yeah,
Speaker 1: everything off the court. There's so many basketball podcasts out
Speaker 1: there talking about xs and os. I I care about
Speaker 1: that a little bit, but for the most part, I
Speaker 1: just I'm just like, how can I consume basketball? And
Speaker 1: it's through buying ship jerseys, sneakers hats. I care about
Speaker 1: like all the the outfit entrances, all these players and yeah,
Speaker 1: just um all the off court stuff. Hosted alongside with
Speaker 1: um Alex Wong, who has a really great book cover story.
Speaker 1: People know he's written for slam um g Q in
Speaker 1: a bunch of those places. But but yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it's like it's a perfect basketball podcast, especially to be
Speaker 1: listened to during the summer, because yeah, we're talking about
Speaker 1: this stuff that doesn't really involve trades any of that stuff.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's been a blasted you so far,
Speaker 1: nice man. And where can people find you? Follow you
Speaker 1: and all that good stuff at c J Tolodono and
Speaker 1: a follow through studio, Yeah, Twitter, Instagram, search it you'll
Speaker 1: find a bunch of my cute baby pictures as well,
Speaker 1: a lot of baby pictures. I gotta slow it down.
Speaker 1: I gotta pump the brakes and give some real content
Speaker 1: outside cute kid. Yeah cut just how proud you know,
Speaker 1: because it's it's my fault that he's cute. So it's
Speaker 1: just it's just it's just a way to brag. And
Speaker 1: is there a tweeter some of the workouts social media
Speaker 1: you've been enjoying. I mean, I always love Josiah King,
Speaker 1: Josiah King of NBA Twitter, you guys are familiar with them.
Speaker 1: Um just uh, he's changing the game, very very funny
Speaker 1: and and just like plugged in. Yeah, you can hear
Speaker 1: him on the recent episode the recent episode of Mad Boosties.
Speaker 1: I think I can hear CJ on an upcoming episode
Speaker 1: of Mad Yes, yeah, all right, well thanks so much
Speaker 1: for joining us fan Thanks guys, and we'll talk to
Speaker 1: you so yeah yeah later. Al Right, well, Miles, just
Speaker 1: the two of us, about which one you want to
Speaker 1: talk about? You want to talk space photos? Are you
Speaker 1: want to talk? Well, let's ask the big question. What's it?
Speaker 1: Is it disrespectful to blast music at the beach? This
Speaker 1: is Look, this was on Vice. Katie Way, who writes
Speaker 1: over there even phrased it even more aggressively it was
Speaker 1: the piece was called stop playing music at the beach. Now,
Speaker 1: to Katie's credit, she's like, look, I'm not here trying
Speaker 1: to create new laws. I'm not saying people need to
Speaker 1: be punished for this. I'm just trying to bring up
Speaker 1: that I believe this is a foals pass okay or
Speaker 1: full PA but depending on it. No, No No, you had
Speaker 1: to read the first time foals pass? Thanks? Is it
Speaker 1: a Falcian pass to to play your music at the beach?
Speaker 1: And I just want to just like, I feel really
Speaker 1: conflicted about this, but I just want to to use
Speaker 1: the Katie's words say, quote, I understand that people like
Speaker 1: to listen to music when they're outside on any other
Speaker 1: body of water, I say, go for it. Take your
Speaker 1: speaker on the bolt, blast tunes that the lake, make
Speaker 1: a playlist for tubing on the river, crank that ship
Speaker 1: at the pool, whatever. But the ocean comes with its
Speaker 1: own gorgeous natural soundtrack, a soundtrack so soothing that it
Speaker 1: puts babies and insomniacs to sleep. And I do not
Speaker 1: want it drowned out by someone's summer vibes playlist. Music
Speaker 1: at the beach is a rejection of life's simple pleasures,
Speaker 1: the bounty of nature, taking paradise and putting up a
Speaker 1: parking lot, to quote a song, I definitely would not
Speaker 1: play ocean side. What about the elemental pleasure of hearing
Speaker 1: waves crash against the sand. Isn't that enough for some people?
Speaker 1: Now I'm split on this. I love hearing music all
Speaker 1: the time. It's one of my favorite things. I love music. Music. See, okay,
Speaker 1: this this is the problem, right, This is where I
Speaker 1: have to begin wavering. But I also get very opinionated
Speaker 1: when I hear music that I don't necessarily vibe with.
Speaker 1: Being blasted in my direction, like that's why I'm curious, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, Like for example, if I'm if I'm at
Speaker 1: a beach, some kids listen to some like West Coast
Speaker 1: Rap or whatever, and and someone's like, hey, can you
Speaker 1: turn that down? I would most likely be like, no,
Speaker 1: not shut the funk up. Let the ship bang. But
Speaker 1: if someone had like some agro hard house playing, which
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to hear at the beach, I think
Speaker 1: there's a time and place for hard house, you know,
Speaker 1: and put my candy on and start candy stepping, but
Speaker 1: it's not at the beach, I would probably side with
Speaker 1: the person asking for lower volume. So all that says
Speaker 1: I'm wildly inconsistent on this, but I feel like personally
Speaker 1: I would probably air on the side of consideration because
Speaker 1: I do overall, I kind of I like the golden rule,
Speaker 1: Like if I'm not trying to have that ship be
Speaker 1: blasting in my face and I'm not gonna put somebody
Speaker 1: else through it, yeah, I will say blasting music is
Speaker 1: like one of those you know, philosophical like everybody loves
Speaker 1: their taste in music and expects it to translate to
Speaker 1: other people. They want other people to feel what they
Speaker 1: feel when they're playing their music and the vast, vast
Speaker 1: majority of the time that ship does not work, and
Speaker 1: blasting it at the beach is like, you know that,
Speaker 1: I think people dealing specifically with that misconception or just
Speaker 1: not giving a funk about the fact that there's that misconception.
Speaker 1: I will say, the soundtrack of a of a lake
Speaker 1: is just as pretty as the soundtrack of at the beach.
Speaker 1: I will say, the sounds like the music is gonna
Speaker 1: carry more at the lake. This feels very classist to
Speaker 1: me because you are like the lake river like thing
Speaker 1: I feel like tends to be like peep or on
Speaker 1: your boat for instance. It's fine some some music, but
Speaker 1: at the beach because where you're like more likely to
Speaker 1: encounter like other people from like different class levels in you,
Speaker 1: I feel like, is when it becomes a problem that
Speaker 1: that bothers me a little bit, especially because in my experience,
Speaker 1: like the like, so somebody can't take over the beach
Speaker 1: with their music. The beach is pretty loud in and
Speaker 1: of itself, so like you you're gonna be able to
Speaker 1: like just move down the beach and find and like
Speaker 1: get rid of that sound. A couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: these kids they had, they took it the fuck over.
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe the fidelity and the power of the
Speaker 1: speakers that they brought, and it was like, that's that's
Speaker 1: one thing. I like, if you have your fucking, you know,
Speaker 1: bluetooth thing, you're not that's not gonna carry as far.
Speaker 1: And if it's that big of a deal, Like a
Speaker 1: lot of times I have headphones on at the beach anyway,
Speaker 1: because like because I kind of want to really be
Speaker 1: immersed in my music, like I don't necessarily need to
Speaker 1: just have it out like ambient like that. Well, which
Speaker 1: all leads me to believe is do we need a
Speaker 1: turn up section at the beach? And that's I feel
Speaker 1: like that's really what it is. It's all about the expectation,
Speaker 1: like because everyone's gonna bring their own expectations to the beach,
Speaker 1: and I get you because, like as I read it,
Speaker 1: I was like, are we getting into Karen territory? Which
Speaker 1: is why at the end of the piece, Katie Way
Speaker 1: is saying like I'm not here to even say like
Speaker 1: a fucking lifeguard needs to intervene. I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: put it out there. This is my feeling about like
Speaker 1: how much how loud ship can be at the ocean
Speaker 1: versus other places, and that's their own personal ship. But
Speaker 1: don't you feel like the ocean is pretty loud and
Speaker 1: en of itself like that that like it just feels
Speaker 1: like the ocean takes up a lot of the space.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, I don't know. I I need to I
Speaker 1: I guess I need to go to that beach, beach
Speaker 1: where the kids just drowned out the sound. Doesn't they
Speaker 1: serve there? And don't get me wrong, there are times
Speaker 1: I'm like, fucky, I'm so glad this person is blasting
Speaker 1: they're like whatever music. I'm like because I don't listen
Speaker 1: to this ship, but also like they're having such a
Speaker 1: good time just by osmosis, Like I'm getting a secondhand
Speaker 1: good time off of their music I don't normally listen to.
Speaker 1: So that's why I'm like, not always across the board,
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. If anything, I just have more
Speaker 1: of an opinion, not like didn't turn this ship off.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, this person doesn't know shit about music.
Speaker 1: It's like a system of some sort like like not
Speaker 1: not like go to the lifeguard and be like, can
Speaker 1: you tell them to turn that crash off, but more
Speaker 1: of like, Okay, this is, like you said, this is
Speaker 1: the section where you can play music and rather than
Speaker 1: like everybody just like blasting music on top of one another,
Speaker 1: like we have a like ox cord essentially like where
Speaker 1: everybody gets to like play their music and it has
Speaker 1: like a nice sort of sound design or something, rather
Speaker 1: than just everybody bringing their own little like speaker and
Speaker 1: like competing. I don't know, They're like we could definitely
Speaker 1: work together and come up with a solution that allows
Speaker 1: you to like enjoy music at the beach, but not
Speaker 1: like ruin other people's time at the beach. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: also that's the thing, is like I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: if it really the only time it's been ruined is
Speaker 1: like if you actually sometimes you want to take a
Speaker 1: little nap at the beach because it is soothing to
Speaker 1: some like when the waves are loud, you can just
Speaker 1: kind of drift away, you know. And then if suddenly
Speaker 1: you having to listen to like some SoundCloud remix of
Speaker 1: like Justin Bieber mashed up with like Diana Ross or something,
Speaker 1: maybe it's not the best time for that. But that's
Speaker 1: why in a way, like I feel conflicted because I
Speaker 1: also don't want if I'm feeling it, I damn sure.
Speaker 1: I don't want somebody to being like you can't do that,
Speaker 1: like fuck you watch me turn the ship louder. But
Speaker 1: part of me also feels like, you know, maybe they're
Speaker 1: maybe there. Maybe she would just be way more alive
Speaker 1: if there was a turn up section at the beach too,
Speaker 1: just like a beach party. Yeah, I've heard of those.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever been to a beach. I mean,
Speaker 1: either they look cool on the TV shows and the lace.
Speaker 1: I guess there was that one time when I was
Speaker 1: in soccer and then my ex girlfriend started flirting with
Speaker 1: this guy and I kicked him in the stomach and
Speaker 1: at a at a beach party, beach bonfire. Is that
Speaker 1: is that your real life? Yeah? That was me and
Speaker 1: my crew. We're just rolling around on the crotch rockets.
Speaker 1: Uh um yeah, yeah, man, that's what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: But yeah, let us know, I mean, or is there
Speaker 1: a limit? Right? It's like, look, if if you come
Speaker 1: with a bluetooth, only so much a bluetooth can do,
Speaker 1: like shut the funk up, Like you can turn up
Speaker 1: your little area with one Bluetooth speaker. Yeah, are their limits? Right?
Speaker 1: Like if you're daisy chaining five bluetooths together to make
Speaker 1: a megatooth, are you violated the mouth of teeth? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like that's that's the thing. Like when I think of
Speaker 1: the soundtrack of the beach, I'm like picturing people like
Speaker 1: going by on their bikes with like a Bluetooth speaker
Speaker 1: or something, and I hear their music for you know,
Speaker 1: like fades in and out in like five seconds, because
Speaker 1: then you know, just the sound of the ocean just
Speaker 1: crushing fucking the beach. The one time it is wild
Speaker 1: is when you're actual, you know, is when you're camping.
Speaker 1: That's been the one time I'm like, yo, this is
Speaker 1: this is a camping is violence. Like if you're like
Speaker 1: when some dude is like coming down off Molly like
Speaker 1: at six in the morning and they're blasting like jungle board. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like and you can hear that from like three sites
Speaker 1: aware Like, dude, no, no, no, no, no, this is
Speaker 1: I didn't ask for a wake up by uh, you know,
Speaker 1: jungle drumming bass. But I do sometimes, but not in
Speaker 1: that circumstance. Well, Miles, it is truly a pleasure to
