Speaker 1: sleep in Miami down parents bed. Yeah. Plus you'll get
Speaker 1: the occasional hotel room that has the California King and
Speaker 1: it's like very luxurious. But you know you can literally
Speaker 1: like eat dinner on the other side of and leave
Speaker 1: the pizza box there, and then on this side you
Speaker 1: will discover like uneaten food if you eat the California
Speaker 1: from God lost a lot of socks in those beds,
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, when you have a kid there just yeah, socks,
Speaker 1: stuffed animals, pieces of food, just throughout that you find. Yeah,

Speaker 1: his grandpa we're working with, right and Willy Wonka, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I was like, what are they complaining about?
Speaker 1: They were in a California peasant. I don't know California surfs.
Speaker 1: All right, Amy, We're going to get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit better. California California. First, we're gonna tell
Speaker 1: I listened to a couple of things we're talking about today.
Speaker 1: Obviously we're gonna talk about another horrific mass shooting. I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm out of reactions, but it's yeah, we're
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about it. We're gonna talk about why
Speaker 1: the n r A is still holding a convention like
Speaker 1: right now, I think in Texas, which is something they
Speaker 1: did after Columbine in Colorado. There's actually leaked audio of
Speaker 1: the meeting that led to that decision, so we have
Speaker 1: a we have a sense of what they're what I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about talking about. My favorite line from that meeting is, uh,
Speaker 1: we're in deep shit on this deal. Is how they
Speaker 1: described the Columbine shooting. Oh man, So we're gonna ask
Speaker 1: the question, are the varietals of mountain dew out of control?
Speaker 1: You're not going to believe what I've read. There's so many, man. Look,
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna test even what we think is even
Speaker 1: real when we get to that story. But you know,
Speaker 1: I travel throughout these great United States and I've seen
Speaker 1: some crazy dudes out there. Your next album, The Dues
Speaker 1: and Don'ts of the Road all of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first Amy would like to ask Eric guest, what
Speaker 1: is something from your search history? Oh you know, I
Speaker 1: I just got my first tattoo. Hello midlife crisis. Um.
Speaker 1: And yeah it's fine, um, but I got into a
Speaker 1: vortex of looking up. People have these tattoos that are
Speaker 1: wrestlers as babies, like your CuPy doll wrestlers, you know,
Speaker 1: And that's like a whole lot. That's like a whole
Speaker 1: thing that people have tattoos, so like a version of
Speaker 1: like Hulk Hogan or like Ultimate Warrior kind. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: it's like this sweet little like CuPy doll, like baby doll.
Speaker 1: And then it's like with the mankind mask or yeah,
Speaker 1: Hulk like ripping his shirt open with like a big
Speaker 1: mustache and ship. It's so cute and so troubling. And
Speaker 1: then that took me into just like a whole other
Speaker 1: and then there's so many of them. I saw, like,
Speaker 1: you know, Dr Frankenfurter baby tattoo. You know, David Bowie,
Speaker 1: that was adorable. David Bowie baby, Yeah, David baby baby Bowie.
Speaker 1: David Bowie sounds like a baby is saying his name
Speaker 1: sometimes Bowie. It's one of the words that my four
Speaker 1: year old can it's actually David Bori Okay, it's David
Speaker 1: Bowie is silent, right. Yeah. So it's like this whole
Speaker 1: crazy world of just like people as babies on your body.
Speaker 1: Can you give me a search term that you because
Speaker 1: I like baby tattoo, wrestler, baby baby doll wrestle or tattoo,
Speaker 1: And it took me to the like an FBI controlled leanings.

Speaker 1: there's something about like a little CuPy doll with their
Speaker 1: face fully tatted up that you're like, oh cute. Or
Speaker 1: I saw a raizor ramon one, so it just had

Speaker 1: baby devil, yeah devil, a little baby devil with wings
Speaker 1: and a little yeah for a message arrowtail. M hmm, okay,

Speaker 1: And that's a conversation piece when people come over, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, And then you can just leave it behind.
Speaker 1: I mean it's obviously gonna skyrocket value of whatever apartment
Speaker 1: or home you're living in. Yeah. I think the idea
Speaker 1: we my roommate and I hit on the idea when
Speaker 1: we were you know, just thinking about like what would
Speaker 1: be a fun thing to leave in a in an
Speaker 1: apartment as you're as you're like, you know, leaving, You're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: cleaned everything up, we should be getting our security deposit back.
Speaker 1: But there's a fresco on the wall. Beauty, it should
Speaker 1: be a secret fresco though, were you also paying over that?
Speaker 1: But leave like one little corner like peeling back and
Speaker 1: they're like what is this and then peel the whole
Speaker 1: thing back and it's and then they changed their minds
Speaker 1: about living there. Yeah, they get a different house. Yeah wow,
Speaker 1: I love that, Like that, like, yo, how do we
Speaker 1: like turn up this apartment? Like energy is so me
Speaker 1: and my early twenties, and it would be like, you know,
Speaker 1: Vale is sick with the hands that like the free
Speaker 1: hand style with the graffitian ship, have them blow out
Speaker 1: the wall. I had to do to a wall piece
Speaker 1: like spray paint because I was like, this ship is
Speaker 1: so legit. Love that. Yeah. This time it was my mom. Wow,
Speaker 1: she was a standlord that gave birth to me. It
Speaker 1: was so mad. I know, she like looks like my mom.
Speaker 1: I call her mom because she's going through some stuff.
Speaker 1: It kind of helps her adjust to her new life.
Speaker 1: But yeah, but yeah, that that was a I really
Speaker 1: identify with, like the little things like just a fucking
Speaker 1: like be sick, have a fucking mural. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: me as a baby a devil right right, yeah baby.
Speaker 1: One time we were parting at a house that was
Speaker 1: about to be torn down and we were like, we
Speaker 1: could do anything. It's gonna it's amazing. And I woke
Speaker 1: up the next morning and I had just written in
Speaker 1: pen on the wall John benet Ramsey. I think it
Speaker 1: was because we're playing the like Famous John's drinking game
Speaker 1: and I came up with John but a Ramsey anyways,
Speaker 1: but that's j E a n Yeah, it's a clue.
Speaker 1: It's exciting. Yeah, I think it's j I might be wrong. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just j O nixed by these CuPy doll like
Speaker 1: famous person as quepy doll. There's a great Mr t
Speaker 1: in here. But someone sent me the Rocky Horror one
Speaker 1: and I like, I guess because it was like cute
Speaker 1: and kind of chubby. I was like, did someone get
Speaker 1: a tattoo of Rosey o'donnald in exit to eat and
Speaker 1: looking at it, that person is an icon. My friend
Speaker 1: was like, no, it's Rocky Horror Psycho. I'm like well,
Speaker 1: now I want to touch to you for Rosie. You know,
Speaker 1: now that I've gotten started, I'm gonna get a couchh ball.
Speaker 1: When you search that though, like you can't actually scroll
Speaker 1: to the end of the Google image search and it's like, look,
Speaker 1: there might be more, but it might not be what
Speaker 1: you're looking for. Rest results might not be what you're
Speaker 1: looking for. Seymour anyway, you anyway? Yuck? Is everything all right?
Speaker 1: What is something you think is overrated? Oh? Some are blockbusters?
Speaker 1: Well actually specifically Marvel movies, because I'm really excited for
Speaker 1: Top Gun. Yeah, that's great, you got me there. I'm in.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go opening weekend, but I don't know the
Speaker 1: good movie. The little movies keep leaving or just like
Speaker 1: they you know, it's like every theater and at the
Speaker 1: Grove is showing Doctor Strange and I don't want to
Speaker 1: see Doctor Strange. I want to see anything else. And
Speaker 1: then now I'm hunting for any other movie, like no
Speaker 1: funk that stop taking over my movie theaters. I gotta
Speaker 1: give up my AMC membership because I think it's all Marvel.
Speaker 1: It's just a TV show that they're showing there that like, hey,
Speaker 1: new episodes out I went to, uh, Quentin Tarantinos like
Speaker 1: theater where he shows movie These and Doctor Strange in
Speaker 1: black and white. And now I'm just joking, but God,
Speaker 1: definitely huh. But they because he does that with like
Speaker 1: some movies that he's like, this is a classic and
Speaker 1: we will be showing it on film in black and white.
Speaker 1: I think he did that with Nightmare ally, but that
Speaker 1: would be funny if he also did it with the
Speaker 1: Marvel movies. Or maybe it wouldn't be funny, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they try to show original prints, I think, and they're
Speaker 1: all three. I see a lot of stuff there because
Speaker 1: it's rabout the house, That's all I'm saying, Like, why
Speaker 1: am I? Why am I even a list? You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yeah, my son to c E t
Speaker 1: there and I had a great time. We I am
Speaker 1: so excited for Top Gun Maverick that I've announced each
Speaker 1: of the last two weeks that it's coming out this weekend.
Speaker 1: I swear I'm going to get it right one at
Speaker 1: one of these days. But I'm real, pump, it's yeah,
Speaker 1: before just goes strong and wrong, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: As my old band teacher used to say, don't hold back,
Speaker 1: just play a loud, strong, and wrong Yo. And now
Speaker 1: that's an exciting one. That's that's gonna be crazy. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be sold out crowds and people are gonna be pumped.
Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna be yelling. You know, I might wear
Speaker 1: a uniform. I get my aviators on the whole movie.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be dark. But just keep that smiling. You're like, dude,
Speaker 1: like what's going on? Like Amy, just take off your
Speaker 1: aviators that I'm not going to take the glasses off.
Speaker 1: Just tell me up. You're facing the wrong way, yo.
Speaker 1: Who's this black guy? Who's this black guy? That's Miles Teller?
Speaker 1: Just take your glasses off. Like this popcorn tastes weird.
Speaker 1: That's just the bottom of your purse. That's this popcorn
Speaker 1: is making my teeth feel all. That's a foil dumb wrapper.
Speaker 1: I answer curious, like for how that movie is gonna
Speaker 1: do because obviously a classic. I do think that they
Speaker 1: left VHS copies of Top Gun in every house, like
Speaker 1: when you moved into a house or an apartment, they
Speaker 1: just left a VHS copy of Top Gun there, like
Speaker 1: it was mandatory. I think I think probably the military
Speaker 1: industrial complex smartly did that but like every house had
Speaker 1: a top gun VHS. And but at the same time,
Speaker 1: it's it's a long time ago. So I'm hoping, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for this mega people. They need your help.
Speaker 1: They think it's gonna be finally the first Tom Cruise
Speaker 1: film that has a hundred million dollar opening. Oh yeah, there,
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna crush, I think, no doubt, especially
Speaker 1: it's a long weekend. It's like, you know, every sommer,
Speaker 1: every blockbuster has been a Marvel movie. So for everyone
Speaker 1: else who doesn't, you know, show up right away for those, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're gonna make a lot of money, and about when
Speaker 1: he three of those dollars are gonna be mine. It's
Speaker 1: hard to believe he hasn't had a hundred million dollar opening.
Speaker 1: You know what the closest one he had was with
Speaker 1: Mission Impossible Fallout because the world's where the world million?
Speaker 1: What do they like do Mission Impossibles and limited release
Speaker 1: or those just aren't like those, you know, like an
Speaker 1: opening weekend, an opening weekend like yeah, that's won worldwide.
Speaker 1: Those that's a that's surprising that they haven't had a
Speaker 1: hundred million But I guess I'm I just have high
Speaker 1: expectations for a Tom Cruise blockbuster. Yea, what do people?
Speaker 1: Let's come together and vote with our wallets for top
Speaker 1: gun Maverick. Look, we can't vote for better outcomes in Washington,
Speaker 1: but we can vote with our wallets to show Tom
Speaker 1: Cruise week care. Will you go out of your way
Speaker 1: amy to see it in iMX? I think so, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going to be in Denver, and I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: I probably will be in IMAX with David Bory. Okay,
Speaker 1: great reference, David Bowrie. When I was in Denver, I
Speaker 1: saw a Toy Story four by myself and it was
Speaker 1: a great filmgoing experience. Highly recommend a kids movie alone.
Speaker 1: I know you're away from your kids. My kids were
Speaker 1: seeing it at on that weekend, so I wanted to
Speaker 1: be I wanted to be like, hey, I get it
Speaker 1: to guys, I can make the references, all right. You
Speaker 1: weren't there. You straight up could have lied and seen something,
Speaker 1: you know, for adults. Yeah, I actually wanted to see
Speaker 1: an adult film. Yeah, I feel like an adult film
Speaker 1: theater by yourself. I went to Oopsie's Movie House. It
Speaker 1: was pretty funny. I'm gonna wander in there on Sunday
Speaker 1: and be like, is this tough? Am I in the
Speaker 1: right place for Top Guns? Amazingly you are, but not
Speaker 1: the one you're looking for. Yeah, hey, Maverick, someone wants
Speaker 1: to see you dance. This is just a confirm and
Speaker 1: then we can move off this topic. This is a
Speaker 1: crossover of Top Gun and Maverick the Mel Gibson movie. Right, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: what is Amy? Something you think is underrated? That? Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys have talked about this guy on
Speaker 1: this show. But well, first of all, Arizona Iced Tea.
Speaker 1: It's delicious. It's Arizona Iced Tea season. I'm happy to
Speaker 1: give this corporation more plugs. Um, Hey, have you guys
Speaker 1: talked about this guy the CEO who's like never gonna
Speaker 1: come up? But like we just kind of pushed past
Speaker 1: it because I didn't know what the fun was talking about.
Speaker 1: I just keep reading about him because he's the bat.
Speaker 1: I mean, he might be the only good billionaire. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's just like, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: make it more than cents. I don't care how expensive,
Speaker 1: every expensive everything else is. He's like, I'm really rich.
Speaker 1: How much money do you need? And it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I see all these other companies just like raising their
Speaker 1: prices on ship because they can and people are going
Speaker 1: to pay it right now. But this nine nine cents.
Speaker 1: It's just nine nine cents and it's delicious, And he's like,
Speaker 1: I'm never going to change it. I'm really really wealthy.
Speaker 1: It actually costs me seven cents to make a can,
Speaker 1: So I'm fine with that margin on this because it's
Speaker 1: just water and chemicals that we call iced tea. But look,
Speaker 1: we accept it. I lovingly I drink so I would
Speaker 1: drink so much mucho mango, Like it is nothing like
Speaker 1: team in case. The last person to ever try it
Speaker 1: is listening. It's not. Yeah, it's sugar water, but it's
Speaker 1: it's very delightful with like a It's like sugar water
Speaker 1: with a tinge of rust. I feel like I'm trying.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to like figure out what it tastes like.
Speaker 1: Something taste brood in there, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's almost like like you're chewing tobacco and drinking juice
Speaker 1: at the same time, Like, yeah, there's this tobacco e
Speaker 1: from the earth kind of yeah, like you've packed a
Speaker 1: lip in class in high school, but you can't spit
Speaker 1: so you're just gonna have to down it with this guy.
Speaker 1: His name is so amazing, Don Voltaggio. Yes, does he
Speaker 1: look like Guy Fierry or just a little bit, because
Speaker 1: that's who That's who I want him to be. I
Speaker 1: want him to be Guy Fiery, except all his shirts
Speaker 1: are like in the patterns of Arizona iced tea. Dude,
Speaker 1: he wears shorts. Look at that article I just posted
Speaker 1: the chat of him and his like sons who like Ferry,
Speaker 1: Italian sons like him. Look, he says. When they asked
Speaker 1: him about the note price change, said to me, the
Speaker 1: worst day as a salesman is to go to a
Speaker 1: retailer and say, hey, by the way, I'm raising the
Speaker 1: price on that can today. Mm hmm. Good for him.
Speaker 1: Our point is what you can wait. Our point is
Speaker 1: what you want to do. What does that mean is
Speaker 1: have a customer come in and get fair value on
Speaker 1: a candidate or juice and then buy other things in
Speaker 1: your store to off set those costs. There's this is
Speaker 1: a This is an amazing picture because he he seems
Speaker 1: to be he has his two sons flanking him behind him,
Speaker 1: and he seems to be his one son on one
Speaker 1: side of his face and his other son on the
Speaker 1: other side of his face, like do you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, whoa, yeah, yeah, because he's not the most
Speaker 1: symmetrically faced person. Jack. I'm sorry. Um it's by the way,
Speaker 1: it's one nine in Canada because that convert convert I'm not, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not. You know, I'm not going to try and
Speaker 1: take that from Don Voltaggio. You come to me on
Speaker 1: this soccer game, after which we always drink Arizona iced tea.
Speaker 1: He also kind of he just directly called out his
Speaker 1: you know, fellow CEO owners, Yeah, owners of corporations, because
Speaker 1: he's just like, I've been doing this for a long
Speaker 1: time and these guys are doing it like I've never
Speaker 1: seen before, raising prices like and it's just yeah, we've
Speaker 1: been talking about that NonStop. It's cool to see somebody
Speaker 1: such an iconic brand to just come through and be like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: now that's what I'm good here, I'm fine here, yeah,
Speaker 1: no need, no need to make line go up three
Speaker 1: three billion dollars like He's like, I'm old, I know, yeah,
Speaker 1: from Granite. I mean, he's got it all. Look at
Speaker 1: those hairlines. I mean, god, I bet he does have
Speaker 1: a Fresco of himself as a baby done. Vol tag
Speaker 1: you but like it's like that scene, what is it
Speaker 1: with David and like and him and God's fingers are
Speaker 1: touching within the arizonic. Yeah, absolutely, look at Don. I
Speaker 1: mean it is good to see that. I'm unless. Look,
Speaker 1: if you ever anybody knows it's Don Voltago on some bullshit,
Speaker 1: please ruin it for us if that's the case. But otherwise, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't get mad at somebody who's like very steadfast,
Speaker 1: Like I don't need to raise prices. And also don't
Speaker 1: ruin it because honestly, like we're good. We need one
Speaker 1: good one, we need some goods. Now. If you talk
Speaker 1: about John Farrell Lito the co founder and Voltaggio with
Speaker 1: the great schism, Yeah, you've seen the Renaissance painting about
Speaker 1: that breakup. It was pretty pretty ugly, but there is
Speaker 1: some weird ship in that scene. Voltaggio got painted in
Speaker 1: hell one of the Renaissance masters. All right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break. We will come back and talk about
Speaker 1: the news. And we're back and had a nice spirited
Speaker 1: conversation about Don Voltaggio over the break that will never
Speaker 1: see the light of day. But it was a positive story,
Speaker 1: positive story, and it was good. Don Voltaggio is out
Speaker 1: here doing cool things for people and then be like, hey,
Speaker 1: don't tell anything. It was me Don Fotaggio. It's me
Speaker 1: Don voltag anyways, So yeah, another you know, Sandy hook
Speaker 1: esque mass shooting at an elementary school. I don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm out of reactions. Like my first
Speaker 1: reaction is like, how are we not treating every pro
Speaker 1: gun lobbyists, pro gun politician, like gun manufacturer like we
Speaker 1: did the Sackler family, where you're just like, no longer,
Speaker 1: I don't I this this might be too strong of
Speaker 1: like how we treated the Sackler family, but like your
Speaker 1: name is no longer allowed on you zeum wings at
Speaker 1: least sewing your face. Yeah, it's because the association is
Speaker 1: you are, we associate you with unnecessary death. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you know it's the same way like I, like I
Speaker 1: told you this morning, the the wildest shit about this
Speaker 1: whole thing was between the shooting in Buffalo this, I'm like,
Speaker 1: the only way I feel like I've been able to
Speaker 1: navigate this country the last you know, a couple of
Speaker 1: years is too basically my heart to become numb to
Speaker 1: a lot of this pain because it's so frequent, and
Speaker 1: I think that's the that's like the most disturbing thing
Speaker 1: for me to realize, is like I'm losing dimensions of
Speaker 1: my humanity because I'm living in a place that doesn't
Speaker 1: honor anyone's humanity, because the thing that's being reflected back
Speaker 1: to me is that it doesn't matter. And in a
Speaker 1: way like for me to even deal with it from
Speaker 1: even take in the news, it's just to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: here it goes again. And that's really fucked up for
Speaker 1: me to really lies because I don't like the idea
Speaker 1: that I could get used to something like this, but
Speaker 1: it's happening so much, and the response society that we
Speaker 1: see every time, it's like it's it's it's just like
Speaker 1: accepting like, oh, it's like a bad rained today. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I read an article last night that actually had like
Speaker 1: all of the kids photos in it. And then it
Speaker 1: was like, after a full day of yeah, just like
Speaker 1: being like, oh this is awful, but I noticed I'm
Speaker 1: not really like, you know, being affected by it in
Speaker 1: the way that I should. And then the photos hit me.
Speaker 1: I just lost it and I didn't I didn't know,
Speaker 1: you know, it was like unexpected, and then I saw
Speaker 1: what and kept scrolling, and I'm like, you know, there's
Speaker 1: a part of my part of me going like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm so dramatic, you know that I'm like crying
Speaker 1: at these kids photos right now. But it's like, no,
Speaker 1: that's that's how we should all feel every time, and
Speaker 1: and that's at minimum, you know, And it was just
Speaker 1: like so so so sad. It's yeah, it's really difficult.
Speaker 1: And then like to add an insult to injury, right
Speaker 1: there were reports that like there are ice agents near
Speaker 1: the school. This is like a heavily Hispanic area, and
Speaker 1: you know, based on what I was reading on Twitter,
Speaker 1: I don't know how how real that is. But like
Speaker 1: to add another dimension to you having to navigate already
Speaker 1: probably immigrating here from somewhere that you're on your way
Speaker 1: to a school where you're trying to figure out if
Speaker 1: your child is alive, and then then have to worry
Speaker 1: about this xenophobic state apparatus that's there to also maybe
Speaker 1: try and get you at your most vulnerable. There's so
Speaker 1: many layers of fucked up to this and and it's
Speaker 1: like this with every single thing. And I know because
Speaker 1: it's so frequent. I think that's like the that's the
Speaker 1: funked up part about being an American is that, like
Speaker 1: we were you talk to people outside of the US, like,
Speaker 1: how do you fucking wow? Fucked up and scary is
Speaker 1: about people are shooting each other. We're like, what happens? Like,
Speaker 1: that's our that's the fucking the calluses that have built
Speaker 1: like on our souls spiritually is that we're just like, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: it is. I don't know, is that bad? And it is,
Speaker 1: and it's really disheartening to see that. You know, we
Speaker 1: have politicians just fucking doing nothing again, And I guess
Speaker 1: the only thing that could maybe be a positive is
Speaker 1: like I feel like more people are angry this time.
Speaker 1: Like in the last couple of shootings people have, it's
Speaker 1: been less like sad and just more like what the
Speaker 1: fuck is happening? But I mean that should have been,
Speaker 1: that should have been we should have been there, and
Speaker 1: when Sandy Hook happened or any other shooting, We've had
Speaker 1: decades to handle this. But the media too, is like
Speaker 1: really running as at least as of last night, with
Speaker 1: this like border patrol heroism story. And I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to take away from that guy like he was a hero,
Speaker 1: you know, because every time this happens, you're like, what
Speaker 1: the no, No one like actual law enforcement nearby that
Speaker 1: could just like run in and take this guy out,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And we we think we
Speaker 1: all think that as like people who don't do anything
Speaker 1: close to their jobs. I love cops, by the way,
Speaker 1: um no, but that's for that story to become like
Speaker 1: and border patrol guys are great. It's like, no, I'm not,
Speaker 1: let's not make this a cop hero story. Like I'm
Speaker 1: I'm really grateful that he did go in and like
Speaker 1: you know, potentially save many more lives. But it's just
Speaker 1: it's just so frustrating, like what the media like clings
Speaker 1: to too. Yeah, turn it into an action movie where
Speaker 1: they're protagonists. Who's on the Republican side. It can't just
Speaker 1: be the absolute failure of this country. That should be
Speaker 1: that every single thing out of every person's mouth should
Speaker 1: just be that we live in a failed state. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because not only is a border patrol agent, but then
Speaker 1: it becomes a good guy with a gun story where
Speaker 1: it's like, see, I told you if more people around
Speaker 1: all had guns, then you know, we could save lives.
Speaker 1: It's so twisted. Yeah, I mean that that seems to
Speaker 1: be the narrative that they're going with on this one,
Speaker 1: you know. And then are A is as of now
Speaker 1: reportedly still holding its Leadership Summit convention in Texas this
Speaker 1: week with guests like Greg Abbott, Tag Crews and Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Trump is scheduled to speak on Friday, so that will
Speaker 1: be a whole three days after the murder of twenty children.
Speaker 1: And incidentally, there are no guns allowed inside Trump's talk,
Speaker 1: because gun control is all good when it's a wealthy,
Speaker 1: elderly politician who is in danger, and not say, a
Speaker 1: school full of innocent children. And so a lot of
Speaker 1: people are saying, like we need to gather and protest
Speaker 1: in Houston and asking what it was the n r
Speaker 1: A will cancel, but so that they were faced with
Speaker 1: this exact scenario and Columbine following the Columbine shooting just
Speaker 1: days later, and also in Colorado, there was an n
Speaker 1: A a A A convention in Denver. The n r A
Speaker 1: cut it down from three days to one, but refused
Speaker 1: to cancel it even though the mayor requested. I think
Speaker 1: Charlton Heston had the like, you can take the guns
Speaker 1: from my cold hands that was there, I think, I
Speaker 1: think so. But he tried to turn gun owners into
Speaker 1: the victim of the situation in which literal children were murdered.
Speaker 1: There are two thousand, five hundred cheering supporters, and you know,
Speaker 1: he said, we will not be silent or be told
Speaker 1: do not come here. You are not welcoming your own land.
Speaker 1: So I love that nativist bend into that in your
Speaker 1: own land. And then so there there's actually like leaked
Speaker 1: audio from the meetings behind the scenes of that are
Speaker 1: A deciding to go through with that, And one n
Speaker 1: r A higher up remarked, Hey, we're in deep shit
Speaker 1: on this deal here, guys, which is just great business
Speaker 1: lingo euphemism, like deep ship on this deal, like the
Speaker 1: mass slaughter of children due to the policy that you
Speaker 1: spend your career fighting for like that deal. Another worried
Speaker 1: that their members, who are hillbillies and fruitcakes might embarrass them,
Speaker 1: and that like that's that's the most illustrative part of
Speaker 1: the story to me, is that like they don't give
Speaker 1: a shit about any of the like things that their
Speaker 1: members are chanting at n R A rallies. They are
Speaker 1: businessmen who are protecting a type of commerce because that
Speaker 1: is their job. And we are in a society where
Speaker 1: commerce is the only thing that that it is the
Speaker 1: ultimate good, like far far outstripping human lives, far outstripping
Speaker 1: human life. Nobody gives a funk about human lives like
Speaker 1: other than humans, but like the people who make decisions,
Speaker 1: the system is designed to completely devalue them. And it's
Speaker 1: just it becomes clear and clearer every fucking day. I
Speaker 1: do feel like people are waking up to it. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: there's no humanistic like sort of outlet right as of
Speaker 1: right now for them to do something with their energy.
Speaker 1: There's like just fascism organizing. But like the mainstream Republican
Speaker 1: and Democratic parties are just giant machines designed to protect
Speaker 1: commerce and that that is what they're going to do
Speaker 1: until they're forced to do something else. Yeah, it's there's there.
Speaker 1: We're not affected by a body count here. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't care if a million people die of COVID.
Speaker 1: We don't care. If nineteen children are killed, we don't care.
Speaker 1: We don't care. We just don't care because that's not
Speaker 1: it's just it isn't the priority to protect people. And
Speaker 1: we just see this reflected back in the most horrific
Speaker 1: ways every time, and we're like left in this like
Speaker 1: again cycle of people saying like, well, we need gun laws,
Speaker 1: and people saying, oh, well, Californian Texas already have gun laws.
Speaker 1: They're and weak as fuck. These aren't fucking These aren't
Speaker 1: the kinds of laws that you're like, oh, this is
Speaker 1: finally going to be a deterrent, because realistic, when you
Speaker 1: look at all the problems we have, every epidemiologist all
Speaker 1: of the research is like, yeah, there's too many fucking
Speaker 1: guns like available. They're just like they're just fucking anywhere
Speaker 1: available for anyone, and that creates too much opportunity, as
Speaker 1: we've seen for accidental discharges of firearms that end up
Speaker 1: killing people, for people taking their own lives with firearms,
Speaker 1: for violent crime with firearms to go. That's all a
Speaker 1: function of how many guns are in a given area.
Speaker 1: And if we're still unable to just say it's the
Speaker 1: fucking guns, yeah, it's directly really like mathematically, like sociologically,
Speaker 1: it's directly related. There's no like debate on the science
Speaker 1: there other than the fact that the n r A
Speaker 1: has like gotten in there and like made it so.
Speaker 1: Then are another like democratic politicians and lobbyists have gotten
Speaker 1: in there and made it so that things like the
Speaker 1: CDC don't don't track guns as like a public health
Speaker 1: thing until fairly recently. But yeah, there Lieutenant Governor Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick told Tucker Carlson that we really need to harden
Speaker 1: these targets. That was his answer last night, these targets
Speaker 1: being fucking elementary schools, which I think means like putting
Speaker 1: like guns at elementary schools. Security. Yeah, every Well, that's
Speaker 1: the pattern of us problem solving. Don't ever address the
Speaker 1: root cause. Don't That's that's gonna end it. You know,
Speaker 1: the answer to to too much crime is more police
Speaker 1: rather than addressing the issue of the source of crime. Yeah,
Speaker 1: solutions are like the in retrospect Mark Wahlberg solution to
Speaker 1: nine eleven. Here's what would have been good when that
Speaker 1: went down and it happened. So that doesn't help us.
Speaker 1: So get to the root cause of it, get to
Speaker 1: the actual if it's you know, if it's the guns,
Speaker 1: then really have we need to have a conversation. We
Speaker 1: have such a societal ill here of like our gun
Speaker 1: humping that I mean, I think like most people like realistically, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: might it's probably a bridge too far. So then in
Speaker 1: that sense, my god, what does it look like with
Speaker 1: more instability, Because we see the things that drive people,
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, young men who get radicalized online
Speaker 1: with some ideas about replacement theory, or people just in
Speaker 1: general not having the kind of support or whatever just
Speaker 1: like a stable home life that may render them in
Speaker 1: a you know, a more balanced, peaceful place. We're just
Speaker 1: we're just putting, we're just adding chaotic environments. We're just
Speaker 1: we're only exacerbating them by saying and here's guns too
Speaker 1: if you need them. Yeah, and also just kind of
Speaker 1: adding to the the possibility of mental illness for more people,
Speaker 1: which then can lead to more violence. You know. Like
Speaker 1: my heartbreaks for kids like back in school right now,
Speaker 1: where they already kind of so many of them had
Speaker 1: this idea of like, oh, COVID, like there's something at
Speaker 1: school that could kill me and or my family. So
Speaker 1: I have to like, you know, like we shouldn't be
Speaker 1: gathering here. And then also now we have to do
Speaker 1: like shooting drills, like like why is my school so
Speaker 1: you know I'm six, Like well, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I did earthquake drills as a kid, and that was terrifying,
Speaker 1: but at least you're like, well, it's random and it's
Speaker 1: God or whatever. It's not like you know, danger from
Speaker 1: another person. It's just yeah, it's just so heartbreaking, and
Speaker 1: we don't Yeah, we don't realize that toll it's taking
Speaker 1: on kids too. Write that. I mean, I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna see it. Yeah, when in this generation of elementary
Speaker 1: school kids are adults, it's it's the columbying kids are
Speaker 1: our age, you know, their parents two and yet there's
Speaker 1: there's like no amount of carnage that can sway the
Speaker 1: bactil decision makers in this country. And like, I honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't know what else you can do except maybe
Speaker 1: force every single politician to look at crime scene photos
Speaker 1: or something, because they have this luxury of being completely
Speaker 1: disconnected from the violence that they're in action causes. And
Speaker 1: most people in this country like, yeah, we gotta fucking problem,
Speaker 1: are y'all? I mean, y'all keep campaigning on ship like this,
Speaker 1: but where's the action? And it's it's fucked up to think.
Speaker 1: That's why in my mind, I'm like the problem with
Speaker 1: so many of the decisions that are made in this
Speaker 1: country because is the people that make the decisions. They're
Speaker 1: so far removed from the impact of their action or
Speaker 1: in action that it allows just the most fucked up
Speaker 1: cruel ship to happen over and over and over again
Speaker 1: because it's not on their doorstep. And guess what the
Speaker 1: second it was when people protested for the role decision leak,
Speaker 1: the senators are like, yo, man, we gotta get our
Speaker 1: ship together quick. We need to keep people the funk
Speaker 1: away from the fucking ghouls in the Supreme Court that
Speaker 1: actually make the decisions that cause a lot of this
Speaker 1: death and destruction. But they're insulated and they get to
Speaker 1: do that, and that's how that's the priority of like
Speaker 1: leadership is like Okay, you get to this high place
Speaker 1: of status, but also we'll do everything we can to
Speaker 1: insulate you from the horrific ship that you'll do and
Speaker 1: then you don't have to really live with it. Deal. Great, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've had all these thoughts before, We've had all these
Speaker 1: conversations before nothing happens like what I don't know? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think honestly, and if a politicians out
Speaker 1: here in general and no one offers us solution like
Speaker 1: just just get the funk out, But we're we're past that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it was Chris Murphy, who's a
Speaker 1: senator from Connecticut who was begging people to do something
Speaker 1: about gun control ever since Sandy Hook because I was
Speaker 1: in his state. He was looking around the center and
Speaker 1: being like, how many of you are here to like
Speaker 1: do ship right? And you know, it's kind of like,
Speaker 1: I like, I love that sentiment, but I you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of people are guilty of inaction up there,
Speaker 1: but truly like we're we're not like, we're just not
Speaker 1: wrestling with these like very basic fucked up flaws that
Speaker 1: we have in our ideas of governance and what taking
Speaker 1: care of each other actually means or what that definition is,
Speaker 1: because yeah, we've we've completely incentivized corporations to get involved
Speaker 1: with politics at the cost of regular people having to
Speaker 1: be shot and killed or whatever and live with those threats.
Speaker 1: As you know, just clock ticks on. It's the same
Speaker 1: ships the Steve Kerr video. I didn't know about his dad,
Speaker 1: but I saw someone like in the comments and you know,
Speaker 1: being like, here's why so emotional. I mean, hopefully he's
Speaker 1: just also emotional about because sucking tragedy, but it is
Speaker 1: I was thinking, like, oh yeah, it's just like a
Speaker 1: given that you know, you're you're just gonna experience in
Speaker 1: your life a lot of violence and death and if
Speaker 1: you don't, you know, preventable violence, and if you don't,
Speaker 1: you know, count yourself very lucky. But it's just like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: like his dad died from gun violence and so he's
Speaker 1: upset about this. It's like, I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: They did still go on to play a basketball game though,
Speaker 1: by the way, Like you know, I'm Warriors fan, but
Speaker 1: I do think it's interesting to be like, let's not
Speaker 1: talk about basketball because a horrible tragedy occurred. No, no,
Speaker 1: we're gonna play the game. Yeah, no, we're so we're
Speaker 1: gonna be out there. Well, I think he's just as
Speaker 1: hot dogs and ship pointing the absurdity, right, is like
Speaker 1: we have to scituate that. Yeah, we have to punctuate
Speaker 1: our lives with this ship, and then we're expected to
Speaker 1: keep carrying on. But it does there is a debt
Speaker 1: that adds up on our psyches to look at this constantly.
Speaker 1: And for people who think it there isn't that you're
Speaker 1: you're mistaken. Like it may be manifesting in a number
Speaker 1: of different ways, but to constantly look at how this
Speaker 1: society operates and how that reflected back to you over
Speaker 1: and over and over again does a lot to your
Speaker 1: idea of like, like I said, even my own sense
Speaker 1: of humanity, yeah, is ideal. I'm like, you know, fucking
Speaker 1: like having a reckoning with that because I'm like, I've
Speaker 1: I think being desensitized with my only service is my
Speaker 1: only survival mechanism at the moment other than who who
Speaker 1: knows what to just completely crumble and yeah, I like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'd love to hear somebody in a position
Speaker 1: of leadership like actually takes some act in here, but there,
Speaker 1: you know there right, But I mean like that's what
Speaker 1: I mean. Like that's all like Steve Kerr, who's a
Speaker 1: basketball coach, and people are like he must have had
Speaker 1: let's let's look into his backstory to figure out what
Speaker 1: made him snap, and it's like, no, this is the
Speaker 1: very basic human response to what happened, Like nobody ever
Speaker 1: exhibits it, Like nobody does that, and so he's a
Speaker 1: standout in just having an emotion about twenty kids dying,
Speaker 1: you know, being slaughtered, Like you're like, and I even
Speaker 1: did it. I'm like, man, I fucking love this guy,
Speaker 1: you know, but he's like, yeah, that shouldn't be heroic,
Speaker 1: it should just be a basic response. Right. And meanwhile
Speaker 1: we saw like you know, there's like interactions with federal
Speaker 1: rourkean Governor Abbott like that day when they're having a
Speaker 1: press conference. But like, it's just wild to even see
Speaker 1: how Republicans even respond to this, you know, like that
Speaker 1: you can tell they've completely given up on any idea
Speaker 1: of like a world this doesn't happen, because if they did,
Speaker 1: they probably express more outrage. I don't think. I think
Speaker 1: a lot of the leaders believed like that's just not
Speaker 1: worth it. And in fact, it's like a good culture
Speaker 1: war peace to keep playing with, to turn the dial
Speaker 1: up and down, to get people interested or disinterested in something.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back
Speaker 1: and talk mountain dew and we're back, and all right,
Speaker 1: there's a new type of mountain dew that I'm very
Speaker 1: excited about. Pivot in like kimlaj one down, he got
Speaker 1: a pivot in the paint, playing bullyball down here. Yeah
Speaker 1: in the in like NBA Miles and Jack got mad
Speaker 1: boost check their receipts. I've like with mountain dew. Obviously
Speaker 1: people know this is a do. This is a do home,
Speaker 1: This is a do house. I was raised on the dude,
Speaker 1: Jack was born in the DO lives lives in the DO.
Speaker 1: Here's my question, and like, I like to think I
Speaker 1: know a lot about mountain dew. Amy, you said you've seen,
Speaker 1: you've You've been across this cursed earth and seen many
Speaker 1: of the flavors. Also about four leaders a day in
Speaker 1: high school every Yeah, okay, so everybody's got their credentials,
Speaker 1: everyone's established as an authority on this. How many flavors
Speaker 1: of mountain do do you think there are available to
Speaker 1: an American? I'm gonna say, Okay, I was gonna say three.
Speaker 1: I feel like we're short like this, like knowing I'm
Speaker 1: going to lose this game. I think twenty three, Like
Speaker 1: we got your I'm just like thinking have like the
Speaker 1: number of colors I've seen. Got your pink, you got
Speaker 1: your white, you got your red, you got your blue,
Speaker 1: and purple. Purple is the new one that is apparently orange.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blast baha blast. You know how many there are?
Speaker 1: Thirty two? There are thirty two flavors of mountain dew.
Speaker 1: My mind psychic and dyslexic. Yeah, like I'm feeling twenty
Speaker 1: it was thirty two. Well the numbers were there. Uh,
Speaker 1: And there's like there's levels to it, right, There's Mountain
Speaker 1: Dew that are sold in grocery stores, there's Mountain Dew
Speaker 1: that you can only get through exclusive partnerships, and there's
Speaker 1: online only Mountain So they're like fucking Pokemon if you
Speaker 1: had to go, if you want to try one, you know,
Speaker 1: like you can't get I didn't even realize Buffalo Wild
Speaker 1: Wings has their own fucking flavor. Neither did I What
Speaker 1: flavor is it. It's called Legend Legend Mates. At Kroger
Speaker 1: they have an exclusive exclusive called Thrashed Apple. The Dollar
Speaker 1: General has Maui Burst, Like each place has their own.
Speaker 1: I imagine the Buffalo Wild Wings flavor not being spicy,
Speaker 1: but tasting like blue cheese because it has to accompany
Speaker 1: in the wings, right, and it's and it's blue. Also,
Speaker 1: I had the there was a Christmas varietal that was
Speaker 1: flavored as gingerbread. Let's not use varietal, let's not use
Speaker 1: wine terms for mountain dew. That's all I have. Give
Speaker 1: you this one. That's all I have. He's a Somalia
Speaker 1: fread do and it actually was better than I expected
Speaker 1: it to be. I did feel sick after I drank it,
Speaker 1: but it was still that That was probably just the
Speaker 1: fact that I drank a mountain dew as a like
Speaker 1: or like apple CYDERI no, no, it was gingerbread. Oh disgusting, right,
Speaker 1: I have seen those. I like the packaging absolutely like
Speaker 1: I got it as a bit for I got I
Speaker 1: got one. Jamie Loft has had one with me and
Speaker 1: we were both like, that's that is what that would
Speaker 1: taste like if if they made a gingerbread mountain dew.
Speaker 1: Bad but like not not as bad as you would
Speaker 1: think hot cheetos one. Right, yeah, yeah yeah. Major melon
Speaker 1: is if you can just get past any thoughts of chapstick,
Speaker 1: major melon is really wait what like it is very
Speaker 1: water melanie, like watermelon candy, but there is like a
Speaker 1: like finish to the flavor, amy a finish, a nutty okay,
Speaker 1: uh wet stone, don't know. It finishes with a waxy
Speaker 1: like moment. There's just a moment one of the undertones. Jack,
Speaker 1: it's all It's one. It's one big undertone of just melon.
Speaker 1: Wait when you say that it's chapped like like sort
Speaker 1: of like vasoline, like petroleum jelly. Like I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I just made it up lip smackers,
Speaker 1: I think is maybe what you're talking about. Had used
Speaker 1: watermelon chapstick mouth, No, I was, I was. I was
Speaker 1: in a CarMax house. That's the worst as a child
Speaker 1: eating some watermelon chapstick and this might just be like
Speaker 1: right hard wired into my crop, yeah, car Max. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we always had all my memories or my dad pulling
Speaker 1: out his pocket and unscrewing it and there's so much
Speaker 1: ship stuck on the cap and like this medicine. But
Speaker 1: you know, I was that kid with like the chap
Speaker 1: ring around it like crazy, and then yeah, they're like
Speaker 1: you have to use this. It's it is medicine. You crazy.
Speaker 1: You can't put watermelon lip smackers your face mound just
Speaker 1: like on the outline to like this feels like some
Speaker 1: kind of clown makeup for some thing you do. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I had that dry as chapped ring, couldn't stop sucking
Speaker 1: on my lips like look as a kid too, And
Speaker 1: I remember constantly being like my my mom would implore me,
Speaker 1: like please just fucking use this, and it hurts too much,
Speaker 1: and I don't have the patience to let it work anyway.
Speaker 1: I got past that. My lips are less chapp these days.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Carmacks all day. I think. I think they're
Speaker 1: at their best when there is not a specific object,
Speaker 1: a specific food item that they're trying to approximate. Apparently
Speaker 1: Purple Thunder is great. I've yet to be able to,
Speaker 1: you know, find time to go to a circle. Kay.
Speaker 1: That's that's another thing they seem. I don't feel like
Speaker 1: they have enough of a handle. They're No, they're not
Speaker 1: like the great NBA players who are like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: save it for like the finals and then just like that,
Speaker 1: put up fifty in the finals because they apparently, you know,
Speaker 1: bah Ba blast obviously, I think widely regarded as the
Speaker 1: best or one of the two best Mountain Dew flavors.
Speaker 1: And apparently Purple Thunder is like has entered the conversation.
Speaker 1: They nailed it. But they did that for Circle K.
Speaker 1: Yeah like that, I feel like you don't use that
Speaker 1: on Circle Okay. Well, look that's that's our regional bias
Speaker 1: coming in, you know, because we're in a we're in
Speaker 1: a Circle K desert. That's true. Circle Okay. I like
Speaker 1: the system too. I think it's really cool of Mountain
Speaker 1: Dew to be like, hey, do you have a corporation?
Speaker 1: Do you want your own flavor? We are you? Like
Speaker 1: I've never heard of that before. They were cool, Hey, corporation,
Speaker 1: what flavor? I want a person to do it, Like
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for one famous person to have their own
Speaker 1: dew flavor, Like how tight would that be? I think? Honestly,
Speaker 1: I want to see some I want to see some
Speaker 1: collapse with human beings. Well, and they're like they're nice
Speaker 1: with the colors too, because Baja blast is now like
Speaker 1: it's it's like Tiffany blue, you know, it's like like
Speaker 1: I think it's a beautiful color dyeing their hair. Baha
Speaker 1: blast like eyeliner. The color story is just a circle
Speaker 1: k after an earthquake. That's what we have going on
Speaker 1: in here. I love it. They're scientists. But you know what, Jack,
Speaker 1: we might have to make that sojourned to the circle
Speaker 1: k for that purple drink. Yeah, Amy, what what is
Speaker 1: your favorite varietal sorry flavor as as the lay people
Speaker 1: call it. Oh, I mean, I honestly haven't had that many,
Speaker 1: but I mean I have to go. I love a
Speaker 1: diet Baha blast. It's so refreshing. Trap. Yeah, I talked
Speaker 1: about you can get diet Baha because I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to have all that sugar, but I do want the caffeine. Sure,
Speaker 1: for sure, I for you miles am Baha Am Baha
Speaker 1: blast all day. You know, I respect the culture, the
Speaker 1: Baha culture. If I have my own flavor, I think
Speaker 1: it was just it would just taste like red. Just
Speaker 1: you know, like when you're a kid. You know how
Speaker 1: when you're a kid, your favorite candy clap just like
Speaker 1: whatever the red one is. It's like that cherry and yeah,
Speaker 1: like really lean the funk into that, like to the
Speaker 1: point where if you had to taste it, you're like
Speaker 1: it has a nightmarish after. That reminds me of sniffing
Speaker 1: those colored markers that came that Like remember those scented
Speaker 1: thick ask colored markers used to have back in the day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that had like the little styrofoam train ship. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about? Like that because I used
Speaker 1: to love sniffing that red mark yeahah that's me. Just
Speaker 1: take that look collab with the marker people. Bring out
Speaker 1: the whole palette. Based on those markers, and except for
Speaker 1: the Black Liquors one, I'm not working with that one.
Speaker 1: They should do one with Sharpie. I liked the smell
Speaker 1: of Sharpie's. I think Sharpie mountain dew. Let me get
Speaker 1: a white out mountain. Yeah. Can I get some metallic
Speaker 1: Crylon spray paint in a paper bag flavor? Wait? Hold on,
Speaker 1: you just fu's pretty? So I am a Baha Blast
Speaker 1: fan as well, But I am also like I, I
Speaker 1: don't know that it's that far ahead of the original.
Speaker 1: And I do think that the original, like people like
Speaker 1: if it was made available everywhere all the time, like
Speaker 1: as available as the original, I do wonder if it
Speaker 1: would suffer a little bit from the McDonald's breakfast ification,
Speaker 1: where like once they made it available, it was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's still good, but it like loses it's a little
Speaker 1: bit for me only. Like that's yes, Amy, such a
