Speaker 1: So I've been having a good time. I've been um
Speaker 1: promoting the book and announcing it. It's just recently got
Speaker 1: announced because they were fixing their website, and uh, that's it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm sitting in my fucking garage, sitting
Speaker 1: landlord's garage even better, with my friends, the BMX bikes
Speaker 1: of his children that I don't touch because I don't
Speaker 1: want to get him mad. Oh no, I'm careful in here.
Speaker 1: I tiptoe around this proper the way of the way
Speaker 1: of fifty way. A fifty two year old tenants shoo
Speaker 1: because he doesn't even know you're in there. Hey, Chris,
Speaker 1: I saw a little dirt, a little mud on the
Speaker 1: mud guard, the rear tire of the BMX bike. You
Speaker 1: weren't you were riding it? You because I don't even
Speaker 1: know how to ride a bike, sir. Okay, okay, it's
Speaker 1: just weird because it's I know, we we just hose
Speaker 1: the bikes down. I just noticed him. But you, sir,
Speaker 1: I never have ridden a bike. Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't I would. I would never mount a bike.
Speaker 1: I would never be so bold as to mount a bike,
Speaker 1: certainly not your children's. I don't know why I think
Speaker 1: I have to be. In nineteenth century England. There the horses, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: well then I don't have any horses. What the fund
Speaker 1: did I wash? That's crofton the blacksmith said he saw
Speaker 1: you riding our horse through town. He is a liar, certainly,
Speaker 1: I don't have to tell you what happened, lying subordinate
Speaker 1: that lying black smith. Never trust a smithy, that's true.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just good advice. They're even they're even
Speaker 1: bigger liars than barrel makers. Oh, coopers, that's what they're
Speaker 1: called coopers. One of the few things I remember from
Speaker 1: like my whole education, is that barrel makers are called Cooper's.
Speaker 1: I love the American education system teaches you like drills
Speaker 1: into your head that a person makes a barrel as
Speaker 1: a Cooper who the fund needs to know that every
Speaker 1: not even once? Do you ever need to know that?
Speaker 1: Turns out you know that, and I need to know Nina,
Speaker 1: Pinta and Santa Maria. That's where it is the names
Speaker 1: of Columbus ships, which means that basically, when we were
Speaker 1: growing up, it's like memorizing the names of Hitler's dog,
Speaker 1: I mean Christopher Columbus ships. Yeah, I mean, why did
Speaker 1: we need to learn that? Some creep some creep And
Speaker 1: that's what I know. That's what I know. I don't
Speaker 1: know anything else. I couldn't do a algebra thing if
Speaker 1: you ask me, you know, if you put a gun
Speaker 1: to my head, and I can tell you all about
Speaker 1: the Nina, the pinch of the Santa Maria and the
Speaker 1: goddamn Cooper. Yeah, only I could remember when he sailed
Speaker 1: the Ocean Blue. Unfortunately, that I better. If you ask
Speaker 1: Madison Cawthorne snug to find Madison Cawthorne and you're like,
Speaker 1: what's the name, he would be so slightly or pretend interview. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The other thing you just want to close this up with,
Speaker 1: do you know how what the name of I've been
Speaker 1: just trying to figure this out, the name of someone
Speaker 1: makes a barrel, Cooper, Cooper, Cooper, what would you call? It?
Speaker 1: Was a fake question to ask all the anti Bellum period,
Speaker 1: the person who would be in the fields with the
Speaker 1: slaves to make sure that they were working efficiently. Do
Speaker 1: you know what that work was called? I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's overseer. I never heard of that word. He's never
Speaker 1: heard of that. I know what Cooper is though. We're
Speaker 1: taught by gone jobs rather than history. So I just
Speaker 1: a madist. Parents. Anybody who names their kid Madison Cawthorne
Speaker 1: is looking for trouble. Yeah, or Madison Cawthorn. I think
Speaker 1: they thought that he would grow up to be like
Speaker 1: a like an American girl doll. With a name like that,
Speaker 1: it feels like very like this is Madison Cawthorne. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just name of insurrection, Madison Cawthorn. I mean, that's that
Speaker 1: name drips with white, white myths. All right, Chris, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get to know you a little bit better in
Speaker 1: a moment. First, a couple of things we're talking about today.
Speaker 1: We're talking about critical energy theory, introducing some new bullshit
Speaker 1: that the Cooke Brothers cooked up one Koke brother the
Speaker 1: other one died. We're gonna talk about Regressing, a new
Speaker 1: toy for adults that will have you regressing and wearing
Speaker 1: diapers and no time. We're gonna talk about some new
Speaker 1: celebrity focused fast food crazes. All of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first, Cris Crofton, we like to ask our guests,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history, Well besides the
Speaker 1: abandoned mine exploration, which is like my main I mean, honestly,
Speaker 1: it's like become a problem. Yeah, you've been on that
Speaker 1: pretty consistently. Yeah, and I've never been in a mind.
Speaker 1: But I mean, why would you ever go into a mine?
Speaker 1: They're so dangerous and people are doing it on YouTube
Speaker 1: before you. They're loaded with false floors. It's all talking
Speaker 1: about would you go to an abandoned mind if we
Speaker 1: took you to one? Fuck? Yes, I would, and I
Speaker 1: would go in underprepared. I go on cell phone light,
Speaker 1: I go on my cellphone light, on your cell phoneps on. Dude,
Speaker 1: you might want to Oh my god, I would totally go,
Speaker 1: you know, but I won't go because you have to like,
Speaker 1: you know, try to like go do it. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not really if someone took me there and like
Speaker 1: it would be one of those things where I'd have
Speaker 1: to like join a tour, you know, Za gang, If
Speaker 1: you know any abandoned minds that are safe, please hit
Speaker 1: us up. We'd love to make a tour happen for
Speaker 1: Chris Crofton. I just want to talk about the stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, like gobbing. Gobbing is when they store the
Speaker 1: rocks in the wall, and like what the big hollow
Speaker 1: part where they already pulled all the ore out is
Speaker 1: called a stop. And I may have all these meanings.
Speaker 1: I know everything winds is and drifts and I mean
Speaker 1: I know every word. And the people in the videos
Speaker 1: that's all they do too. I mean they think they're
Speaker 1: hot shit, you're like, that's just a word for where
Speaker 1: they got the ore. Yeah, they're not fucking miners, but
Speaker 1: they love fucking saying like like beating each other to
Speaker 1: saying that's cobbing. That's cobbing. Right. You may think you're
Speaker 1: a hot shot abandoned mine explore YouTube star, but you
Speaker 1: ain't ship in my book. Okay, but seriously, as I'm concerned,
Speaker 1: that's black face. And then you put you smudge your
Speaker 1: face with cold it looks like a coal miner and
Speaker 1: trying to act like you know about the mind. Wait,
Speaker 1: so what do they do with the rocks that they
Speaker 1: got while hollowing out the part that they stick the
Speaker 1: rocks in. I'm very confused by the fifth they take
Speaker 1: the rocks that they've taken out of the stoke, which
Speaker 1: is the part where they pulled the oar out of
Speaker 1: which you know, people enjoy saying that because they say stoke.
Speaker 1: That's one of the things. Those are great words. These
Speaker 1: are also one of my favorites. Yeah, they yeah, wind
Speaker 1: they talk about false floors, false floors. They talk about
Speaker 1: a lot um that's just a hazard. They're like, that's
Speaker 1: a false floor right there. And are those specifically designed
Speaker 1: that way, like by just mischievous miners with murder on
Speaker 1: their minds, like Donkey Kong or something. No, I don't
Speaker 1: think so. It was because these lines were done before.
Speaker 1: These are like mostly like turn to the century. They
Speaker 1: didn't know about Donkey Kong, but they probably did something.
Speaker 1: They probably rolled barrels at each other and had to
Speaker 1: jump over. I mean it was boring. All he did
Speaker 1: was smoke, Prince Albert, I mean, that's all there is
Speaker 1: in there is like Prince Albert cans and anyway, Uh,
Speaker 1: they they they take the rocks out of the stope
Speaker 1: and then they put them behind Sometimes they put them
Speaker 1: behind some timbers, like in the wall. Like they basically
Speaker 1: so it's just like closer, a closer place to put
Speaker 1: the rocks. Yes, basically, they're just like trying to like
Speaker 1: figure out how to not take it to the surface.
Speaker 1: So they like to put it behind wall. But they
Speaker 1: they put up behind some timbers. That's called gobbing. And
Speaker 1: then if they put it in the like in a tunnel,
Speaker 1: they already went down. They call that back filling. And
Speaker 1: they like to speculate whether it's a collapse or backfill.
Speaker 1: They're always like, is that a collapse or is that backfill?
Speaker 1: Like if you have like a mini argument, you know.
Speaker 1: And by the way, this is not your search history.
Speaker 1: This is just welcome for first time listeners to a
Speaker 1: first drop the episode. Uh, I mean, I'm all right,
Speaker 1: I'll get all right back to the subject at hand,
Speaker 1: even though the subject at hand for me is always
Speaker 1: abandoned mine explanations. And I guess I would say since
Speaker 1: I have this podcast called Colbrew, got me like that,
Speaker 1: you can listen to on all the platforms. Catching I've
Speaker 1: been looking for videos you know there, or or stories
Speaker 1: that i've When I was younger, I read this story
Speaker 1: about this guy who ordered food from a UFO, and
Speaker 1: I've always been looking for that story. It's like a guy,
Speaker 1: it's a chicken farmer from who said he saw a
Speaker 1: craft that had men with turtlenecks with Italian accents in it,
Speaker 1: and he and he and they offered him food and
Speaker 1: he said yes, and and then he he actually has
Speaker 1: one of the pancakes, like he kept one of them. Again,
Speaker 1: he's took come to a lab and they said that
Speaker 1: like they just tested it quick. Yeah, they tested it
Speaker 1: in like nineteen sixty one, so I doubt they probably
Speaker 1: just like put their tongue on it, you know. And
Speaker 1: they were like they said it was mostly made grease,
Speaker 1: which I also don't even think it's a scientific term. Right,
Speaker 1: So this is a nonfiction story. Yeah, this is supposed
Speaker 1: to be a nonfiction story. And I just like on
Speaker 1: the last podcast we talked about this, but it's something
Speaker 1: I've been looking for because I couldn't find it. I
Speaker 1: think when I was younger, I bought this Reader's Digest.
Speaker 1: I think it's called Strange Mysteries Book. It's like a
Speaker 1: hard hardcover book. Like anybody who grew up in the
Speaker 1: eighties or the seventies, late eighties, i'd say, knows when
Speaker 1: they did those like time life series like like the
Speaker 1: World of Strange Monsters. Get a volume every like one
Speaker 1: month to get Bigfoot, next month, to get Yetti Mean's
Speaker 1: old Golden Age, and um, you know, they chopped up
Speaker 1: the book into like twenty volumes. But this was like
Speaker 1: before Reader's Digest figured that out. So they put out
Speaker 1: one hardcover book with all the strange mysteries of the
Speaker 1: whole world. And it's really pretty exhaustive. It's like and
Speaker 1: his and one of the stories was this guy who
Speaker 1: ordered food from a UFO, And I just thought, I
Speaker 1: just I just it blew me away because I mean
Speaker 1: if this, first of all, if you saw UFO, would
Speaker 1: you be hungry anymore? Even if you were hungry before.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe the UFO picked him out as somebody
Speaker 1: they were just like that guy went based on our
Speaker 1: amazing futuristic technology. That guy could use a fucking pancake.
Speaker 1: So many big parts about this story. And he's from Kansas,
Speaker 1: so he said. Italian accents, which what does that mean
Speaker 1: to him? That's what he calls an alien accent. Sounded
Speaker 1: like my terall, he's likely you have oh the Italians
Speaker 1: in it, you know. It's like he just means Aliens
Speaker 1: people Italians and the sheds and they were green, you know,
Speaker 1: typical Italians. And then I just think the idea that
Speaker 1: somehow you have the process of mine. During UFO citing
Speaker 1: to agree to eat some food, he also said he
Speaker 1: got them some water, and he said they were wearing turtlenecks.
Speaker 1: And I just liked the idea of like, what did
Speaker 1: this drunk chicken farmer? Actually right right? I think he
Speaker 1: wandered into like back in the area of a bowling
Speaker 1: alley where they set the pins and eat like a
Speaker 1: thing of yeah, and he met some like like yeah,
Speaker 1: he met a couple of Italians who were like wearing turtlenecks.
Speaker 1: And then he just like he gave him some French
Speaker 1: fries and told him to go home. Uh, and he
Speaker 1: kept one of his pocket and took it to a lab.
Speaker 1: There you go. It was a frittata. I'll have some
Speaker 1: of that pancake. Yeah, yeah, He's like it was like
Speaker 1: a Mexican food truck. It was like something like that.
Speaker 1: It was like, yeah, Italians wearing turtle necks. I like
Speaker 1: if it were Aliens. Though, We're like, yo, check this guy.
Speaker 1: Let's see if we can get him to eat our shipcake.
Speaker 1: Just like, yes, idiot, want a problem, it's boring some pancakes.
Speaker 1: I'm calling a pancake. Ate it later, idiot. That was
Speaker 1: mostly Greece, think the lowest steaks alien and I just
Speaker 1: love it. I just I've always wanted to know what
Speaker 1: that guy really saw because if you're a chicken farmer
Speaker 1: in nine you are drunk. Is there is that has
Speaker 1: that myth like extended? Like? Is does he have extended
Speaker 1: fans like it has that? Can we find someone now
Speaker 1: who's like I spoke to him? I would like to
Speaker 1: have a podcast where I would like to have a
Speaker 1: podcast my Heart Radio where I could do that very
Speaker 1: thing with it. And I've pitched it to you guys
Speaker 1: over and over. En prom before you just said on
Speaker 1: the hunt for Italians, and I was like, what is
Speaker 1: this ch turn of the century enophobia? I never said that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was something about payback for COLUMBI want to call
Speaker 1: the podcast Italians and Turtlenext but wait, there's more to wait,
Speaker 1: there's more. It's aliens serving pancakes. No, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: This is no money? What are you talking about? You
Speaker 1: can't monetize, no more out of your mind. Give me
Speaker 1: one episode, give me the president. He'll understand, He'll he'll
Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, Joe Biden, I'll get it. What's what's
Speaker 1: something you think is overraging? Overrated? I put hinge and
Speaker 1: the Beatles, Hinge and the dating app and co. What
Speaker 1: you guys want to talk about? Like, I don't know
Speaker 1: if anyone else has talked about how annoying it is.
Speaker 1: Everybody's going crazy for the Beatles for the nine millionth time.
Speaker 1: And then, I mean, I find fine with the Beatles.
Speaker 1: They're fine. I used to like them, but I mean,
Speaker 1: for goodness sake, stop selling me footage of your childhood,
Speaker 1: you boom or a piece of shit. Have you heard
Speaker 1: about this guy, Paul McCartney, though, I mean, yeah, we
Speaker 1: need to hear about it. I know more about Paul
Speaker 1: McCartney than I know about myself, right. I keep hearing
Speaker 1: people be like about that documentary, be like and you
Speaker 1: just watch him and he comes up with like, let
Speaker 1: it be on the spot. Or he comes up with
Speaker 1: I guess the get back one is a little bit
Speaker 1: more accurate, but like let it be. He like clearly
Speaker 1: came in. He like wrote that song the night before
Speaker 1: and then like through the magic of editing, he's suddenly
Speaker 1: playing it. People like that's fucking amazing. He just like
Speaker 1: wrote that right there. I mean it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: when the fact that he first called the Yesterday's scrambled
Speaker 1: eggs and stuff. I mean, if you've ever yeah, scrambled eggs,
Speaker 1: like people are like, imagine the world if it was
Speaker 1: called scrambled eggs, like that would have changed the whole world,
Speaker 1: like anybody anywhere Besides, like, I don't know one million
Speaker 1: sixty nine year olds give a shit about that stuff,
Speaker 1: right well you but they just happened to run every
Speaker 1: TV station. Yeah, but you know it just makes me mad.
Speaker 1: It's just like funk you man. I you know, the
Speaker 1: public enemy was my Beatles, And how come you didn't
Speaker 1: do a nine hour documentary about making the making of
Speaker 1: Like it takes a mansion abilities to hold us back.
Speaker 1: I want to see that ship. Yeah, well yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: they've got a favor of what I think the closest
Speaker 1: we got was Flavor of Love on vhe unfortunately serious
Speaker 1: and yes, and no one even, no one even treated
Speaker 1: that seriously, right, No, no, they didn't. No one even
Speaker 1: treated that serious documentary Flavor of Love. And we saw
Speaker 1: buck Wild she was adopting some ebonic accent affect there,
Speaker 1: and we said nothing. And that's why we got January six.
Speaker 1: It was one supremacy ship they get a I mean,
Speaker 1: this is really true, and I don't want to bring
Speaker 1: it to white supremacy, but it is one of my
Speaker 1: fucking being mad at white people is you know, this
Speaker 1: is the time, so you know, of course the Beatles
Speaker 1: had twenty five cameras shooting them. You know, people, how
Speaker 1: many people are shooting public enemy? You know, nobody, because
Speaker 1: these guys were already you know, they were already the Darlings,
Speaker 1: and they already had twenty five cameras on them, and
Speaker 1: and people are already kissing their ass for whatever. It's
Speaker 1: it's just it's just a thing where it's like there's
Speaker 1: no making of I mean, it's there's no no, it's
Speaker 1: no surprise that they had twenty cameras make during the
Speaker 1: making of their album, and that there's no record of
Speaker 1: straight out of Compton being made because they didn't have
Speaker 1: a nine camera crew of British guys being like, would
Speaker 1: you like some tea while you write your genius ship? Oh,
Speaker 1: paul first said he wouldn't believe it. First Paula said
Speaker 1: scrambled eggs instead of let it be he's a genius.
Speaker 1: What would we do without that soft rock song? Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's one thing. And then hingees me just being
Speaker 1: on Hinge, which has been like, first of all, I
Speaker 1: thought that, like I was like, listen, I'm a loner,
Speaker 1: tired of being a loner. I think I'd like to
Speaker 1: get a girlfriend, and I thought would take like one day.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it is the loneliest place. I feel
Speaker 1: so bad for everybody on there, including me, even the people.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. It just underscores how alone we all
Speaker 1: are and how we will die alone. Should be called
Speaker 1: die alone or like es seriously, it's seriously like it's
Speaker 1: just everybody just wants to do the same thing. So
Speaker 1: then it becomes because they've all been influenced by magazines
Speaker 1: and they're all like I want to taste wine and
Speaker 1: stand next to a boat, and and so that's what
Speaker 1: everybody wants. So then it just becomes who's hotter, because
Speaker 1: I mean, if you all have the same interest, it's
Speaker 1: just the sweepstakes for who's hotter. It's like every single
Speaker 1: person is trying to be Beyonce or fucking Daniel Craig
Speaker 1: or whoever. I'm not looking at men, but I mean
Speaker 1: like they come on there. Actually I mean that just
Speaker 1: like people impersonating celebrities, you know, except then it just
Speaker 1: becomes who's hotter? Which one looks actually more like Jennifer
Speaker 1: Anderston or who looks more like I don't even know
Speaker 1: any celebrities? Enrique. Yeah. Yeah, it's all like who looks
Speaker 1: like Sarah Michelle Geller and who looks like Enrique exactly.
Speaker 1: We're I'm always do you have but you don't have
Speaker 1: like your profile like kind of set, like aggressively honest,
Speaker 1: where so if someone sees you, they know they're not
Speaker 1: getting wine tasted by a boat with this profile. But
Speaker 1: I think Hine is the wrong place for that because
Speaker 1: hind seems to be at least in my age group,
Speaker 1: which is they are there are people who have retired
Speaker 1: from life and they do not want to go to
Speaker 1: record stores like I do, right, right, right, you know
Speaker 1: you're not gonna find anybody on Hinde who's fifty two
Speaker 1: years old who wants to go to thrift stores and
Speaker 1: that's what I'm marketing on there, and they're like, oh cool.
Speaker 1: I mean my profiles would just say poor. Right, you
Speaker 1: know on every category, has anybody done like the just
Speaker 1: like hanging out dating app that's like for just people
Speaker 1: to like hang with without the dating side of it.
Speaker 1: It feels like that would be Yeah, I guess church
Speaker 1: called church, yeah, because there's a thing you mean, like
Speaker 1: Plotano or something they can call like yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it sounds like something you couldn't get, like trash
Speaker 1: men to be honest about that they were entering something
Speaker 1: platonically you would use it. They would sneak and that
Speaker 1: would be a nightmare. May actually, like I'm really feeling you,
Speaker 1: like maybe just could be a day like oh fuck, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to Yeah, yeah, I'm so excited to
Speaker 1: get you, to get to know you and show you
Speaker 1: my dick bix. Yeah that's right, you're on Plotano. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're on Potano. Fred no depics with Jesus Christ. Men
Speaker 1: are trash they'll even so Yeah, I don't know that that.
Speaker 1: I think I'm on the wrong one. I do think
Speaker 1: I think him just like at least it hasn't. I
Speaker 1: went on one date and it was okay, but the
Speaker 1: woman talked about astrology to the point where it was like, way, way,
Speaker 1: way too much, Like even if you like astrology, you
Speaker 1: can't talk about it that long. On the first date,
Speaker 1: right the whole time, I plazed over. She was talking
Speaker 1: about planets rising and all kinds of ship and I
Speaker 1: seriously forgot I was even anywhere. I was like, I
Speaker 1: fell asleep with my eyes. You astu projected somewhere else. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I was trying to be polite, so I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think also like yeah, it's crazy
Speaker 1: the universe and everything, but you know, you really like
Speaker 1: being interested in engaging. She was quite nice. Actually I
Speaker 1: didn't have a bad time, but there were serial chemistry.
Speaker 1: And that's what you look at it. This thing. It's
Speaker 1: like it's like really it's everybody's looking for a person
Speaker 1: that's imaginary, which is just this hot traveling in wine tasting.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like this, yeah, like it's kind of
Speaker 1: like a joke, you know. It's like every and that's
Speaker 1: what makes it sad because everybody's looking for somebody that
Speaker 1: they can't get. And I tried to be like honest,
Speaker 1: but I mean then it's like, I mean I just
Speaker 1: put some stuff like you know, getting to know you,
Speaker 1: or you know you might like me, if you like
Speaker 1: Jonathan Richmond, I put you know, And that's like for
Speaker 1: that app there's like what the but they don't know
Speaker 1: who that is, I mean, not a chance and once
Speaker 1: they found out, they'd be like, oh, that guy's poor.
Speaker 1: I mean, like that guy Jonathan Richmond's poor by extension,
Speaker 1: and that means I mean I feel like I'm hung
Speaker 1: up on money obviously, but yeah, I'm not like I
Speaker 1: don't feel like I'm doomed, but I think maybe Hinge
Speaker 1: is not my my my place. Yeah, you need to
Speaker 1: be on Rya Chris. It sounds like ry That's what
Speaker 1: I want to be. I want to be people who
Speaker 1: are such pieces of ship they get their own, their
Speaker 1: own have to date other pieces of ship in a
Speaker 1: special zone. It is really interesting that like everybody's doing
Speaker 1: the same ship that like it's like it's the ultimate
Speaker 1: like kind of late stage capitalism where it's like turned
Speaker 1: people into products that are all chasing the same trends later.
Speaker 1: That is how Timptons is now chasing the celebrity the
Speaker 1: celebrity food trends. It's kind of sad for real, But
Speaker 1: then again, it's like I feel like eventually that's a big,
Speaker 1: big topic, but I think that it is depressing to
Speaker 1: see when it used to be like if you went
Speaker 1: to a certain region of the country, they all dressed differently,
Speaker 1: Like if you went to Seattle, it was like people
Speaker 1: like there actually was like, oh, people here wear flannel shirts.
Speaker 1: And you go to Texas and they wear some stupid
Speaker 1: kind of sneakers they like or whatever, and they're really
Speaker 1: popular there. And then you go to like Florida and
Speaker 1: they got a different stupid thing they're into. But there
Speaker 1: really was regional ship. Now it's just like people can
Speaker 1: look at Instagram for ten minutes and find out what
Speaker 1: they're supposed to wear, and then it's just really hard
Speaker 1: to figure out who's nice and who's not because they
Speaker 1: all look yeah, like generic monsters. Anyway, Anyways, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break. When we're gonna come back and talk
Speaker 1: about what you think is underrated. And we're back and Chris,
Speaker 1: we do like task our guests, what's something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated. Okay, I'm gonna tell you that this is
Speaker 1: one I really am enjoying. So stupid, this is one
Speaker 1: I'm really enjoying. He said, nothing yet. The underrated thing
Speaker 1: is telling people that you have a book coming out,
Speaker 1: not just like the first question they have is like, oh,
Speaker 1: self published, no Amazon, that's yeah, yeah, Oh you're just
Speaker 1: like we're probably staple them together. You know how many
Speaker 1: stake I mean, seriously, people have no problem like saying
Speaker 1: that right to your face, Oh self published? What I
Speaker 1: didn't finish telling you, you fucking aggressive motherfucker. No, it's
Speaker 1: not self published, published by Vanderbilt University. Yeah, and they
Speaker 1: heard of it. I mean it because Vanderbilt University is
Speaker 1: actually valued more by fucking assholes than anybody, right, like
Speaker 1: like the most superficial white stockbroker whatever, the most like
Speaker 1: empty white person on the planet, like your CEO even
Speaker 1: will be like, oh, Vanderbilt University is a great school.
Speaker 1: That's only one of the things. It's one of the
Speaker 1: five things you press a rich person's chest buttons. One
Speaker 1: of them will Sayanderbilt University is a good school. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: y yeah, Or I went to Vandy, Yeah, I got
Speaker 1: A B A and money shuffling or whatever they do.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know gotta be a in paper pushing
Speaker 1: and being miserable. What was the but what was the
Speaker 1: road to this book? Though? You know, like my whole life?
Speaker 1: I know? But how how did it come upout? Like
Speaker 1: you had it? And you said, hey, you were knocking Vanderbilt.
Speaker 1: I've been rattling their cage for years. That image of
Speaker 1: like Jerry Lee Lewis that that, you know, Jerry Lee
Speaker 1: Lewis went to Elvis's gate with a gun. That's why
Speaker 1: I just pictured myself like with the cole Bruins dead,
Speaker 1: just like pulling on the gate. You gotta read my
Speaker 1: so uh anyway, no, I the good thing about the
Speaker 1: good thing about Nashville back in the day early two
Speaker 1: thousand's was that there's nobody there really, but there was
Speaker 1: sort of like a it was set up like they
Speaker 1: had all the set up for arts, like like they
Speaker 1: had a local weekly owned by the Village Voice, which
Speaker 1: was the was was Nashville scene. But because it was
Speaker 1: a music town, they had like sort of the infrastructure
Speaker 1: for the arts. But they're just weren't that many people
Speaker 1: they're doing art. So it was like especially anything besides
Speaker 1: country music. So when I started playing rock music there,
Speaker 1: I immediately like I was able to walk into the
Speaker 1: Nashville scene in two thousand want to when I moved
Speaker 1: there two thousand one and just be like, can I
Speaker 1: talk to the music editor? And my friend Jim, who
Speaker 1: was now passed away, he walked down the hall and
Speaker 1: was like, Hi, I'm the music editor, you know, and
Speaker 1: and like it was like that was you know, if
Speaker 1: I just moved from New York where if I wanted
Speaker 1: to talk to Robert christ Gal, who was the current
Speaker 1: music editor of the Village Voice, they would have fed
Speaker 1: me to sharks, you know what I mean. It was.
Speaker 1: It was like a whole different. So Vanderbilt, I just
Speaker 1: had a couple. I had a couple of fans are
Speaker 1: like people who liked my writing on the Vanderbilt University
Speaker 1: press staff, so they reached out to me. It was
Speaker 1: just even better because when I talked to the Chris,
Speaker 1: I know, when I talked to my therapist, I think
Speaker 1: my rapist she I think she must have wanted to
Speaker 1: publish a book one time, because because I said like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I got this, well this book Vanderbilts put
Speaker 1: what book you yeah, right, yeah, right, yourself publishing it. No,
Speaker 1: I just said Vanderbilt. What did we say about your Vanderbilt?
Speaker 1: What vanderbild spelled how Vanderbilt where? So I'm just taking
Speaker 1: that down and wow. Also the cover of the book
Speaker 1: is your face, Like that's pretty? Is that right? Like?
Speaker 1: That is the as a drawing by this guy named
Speaker 1: Nicholas Gayzon who is a really great artist. And I
Speaker 1: found him on my friend was a fan of his,
Speaker 1: and I found him on whatever. I saw his art
Speaker 1: online and just basically reached out to him. And uh,
Speaker 1: I mean there's nine drawings. A lot of people who
Speaker 1: get a book published that's you know, like a y
Speaker 1: a thing that's like I don't know, but like a
Speaker 1: young adult thing or I don't know, like just not
Speaker 1: it's just a like that's it's a book by you
Speaker 1: about you, like that level of book, you know, And
Speaker 1: it's like with the thing, what's great things? I mean,
Speaker 1: I take that, I mean as a compliment just because
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't really get it because what it
Speaker 1: happens so sort of like I started writing this advice
Speaker 1: column when I moved to Los Angeles. The whole thing
Speaker 1: was just started very strangely, which I described in the book.
Speaker 1: Just my friend Tracy, who worked for Jezebel, was just like,
Speaker 1: Andrew w. K has a advice as an advice column,
Speaker 1: and Henry Rollins does, and you're kind of like that
Speaker 1: kind of person for Nashville. So and you know Jim
Speaker 1: who's the editor, and I bet they'd give you an
Speaker 1: advice column if you ever thought about doing that, you know.
Speaker 1: And I was, of course like, no, what what you know,
Speaker 1: like just like when you write jokes and you write
Speaker 1: songs or whatever. So and then I it just was
Speaker 1: like I had nothing else going from me when I
Speaker 1: moved out here. I moved out here kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, with typical ideas about, oh, I'm going to
Speaker 1: be the world's most famous stand up because it's merit
Speaker 1: based and everybody's good there or whatever. You know. It's
Speaker 1: all these crazy ideas about l a that it turns
Speaker 1: out I took out of a movie, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: and and so this advice column became all I had.
Speaker 1: I was living in an apartment in Glendale, a four
Speaker 1: bedroom that the kitchen occasionally spit out like gallons of
Speaker 1: black water out of the sink, and I just hid
Speaker 1: in my room and wrote that advice column every week
Speaker 1: for for two years, you know, and I was living
Speaker 1: with three comedians were like half my age, and they
Speaker 1: all played dungeons and dragons and ship. I mean, I
Speaker 1: was like, thank God for that column, you know. So
Speaker 1: I put my fucking everything into that column. Well I'm
Speaker 1: glad it worked out seven years later, you know. So
Speaker 1: it's just like it's just but you know, I knew
Speaker 1: that writing was good. I knew it. I knew it
Speaker 1: was fun. I knew because I would read back because
Speaker 1: I getting kind of a trance when I write them,
Speaker 1: because I read them late at night, and I'll read
Speaker 1: them back and so as I laugh at my own ship,
Speaker 1: and I know, I just know, and you know, I've
Speaker 1: I've always had my mother is actually a really good
Speaker 1: sounding board for ship. So she would have told me,
Speaker 1: I mean in a good and a bad way. You know,
Speaker 1: she's always been good for her. That's no good or
Speaker 1: that's good. You know, you really need to wear that hat,
Speaker 1: you know, like, you know, I don't think that's super valuable.
Speaker 1: You know, all the way back to my mom saying
Speaker 1: like you might need a weave. She really said that
Speaker 1: to me, and she also described bald people as people
Speaker 1: who need weaves. I mean, that's the funniest part. She's like,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people running around out there could
Speaker 1: use a weave. I'm like, Mom, I don't think you
Speaker 1: know anything about weaves or hairs. What are they gonna
Speaker 1: weave to? Have you seen the top of my head?
Speaker 1: You know what weaving is anyway, So that's one of
Speaker 1: the things my mom said. She also said, I think
Speaker 1: you losing your hair bothers you more than you know,
Speaker 1: which is like the most insidious mom thing that is
Speaker 1: right there. Wow, sniper shot through the heart. You might
Speaker 1: want to look into being sadder. Chris, Well, you're not
Speaker 1: sad as much. You're not sad anymore with this book,
Speaker 1: So make sure people go out there and get it.
Speaker 1: It's called The Advice King Anthology, and it's available through
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt University Press's website right now as a pre order.
Speaker 1: You get off if you use the code fifteen pre
Speaker 1: and it's like, sure, it's like thirteen bucks with the
Speaker 1: discount and um, and then it comes out in stores
Speaker 1: because it's gonna be distributed in April. But yeah, the
Speaker 1: most fun thing is seeing the smoke come out of
Speaker 1: the years. I'll tell you real one. I know this
Speaker 1: is long, I'm gonna tell you real quick. I was
Speaker 1: working at the wine bar where I work on the weekends, right,
Speaker 1: and one of the customers is like, what are you
Speaker 1: been doing during the pandemic? And he's like, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen him forever. He's like, oh man, I'm so glad
Speaker 1: to see you, you know, but we've never really been
Speaker 1: you know, We've seen each other a million times at
Speaker 1: the wine bar. He's a regular, right, So he said,
Speaker 1: what have you been up to? And I just went
Speaker 1: crazy and I was like, maybe I should just tell
Speaker 1: him what I've really been up to, you know. So
Speaker 1: I was like, I mean, like, I've been writing an
Speaker 1: advice column for me already. Was like what. So I
Speaker 1: was like I was already hadn't followed through. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm writing an advice column for seven years and Vanderbilt
Speaker 1: University is putting it out and and he was like what.
Speaker 1: He didn't want to like, yeah, alright, I feel better
Speaker 1: than you. I do not want to hear about whatever
Speaker 1: craziness you're talking about. So he didn't know what to say.
Speaker 1: So he just goes, are you gonna sell it? At
Speaker 1: the wine bar. Just go. Yeah, so follow your dreams. People.
Speaker 1: One day when you're fifty two, you can tell a
Speaker 1: wine bar customer that you have a book coming out,
Speaker 1: and they can ask you if they're gonna puzzled and
Speaker 1: angry if you're gonna sell it at the way, Like, oh,
Speaker 1: let me guess. The parking lot guy, he's a he's
Speaker 1: a delegate to the u N Now, exactly exactly. I've
Speaker 1: never worked. Have you ever worked food service ever? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know how Like I once had a customer, a
Speaker 1: drunk and this was a really expensive restaurant. A drunk
Speaker 1: guy look at me through like half lidded eyes after
Speaker 1: he had like nineteen classes of wine that costs a
Speaker 1: million dollars. He just said, have you ever read Atlas? Shrugged? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it doesn't get worse. Yeah, when I read that,
Speaker 1: I won't be a waiter anymore. That was what his
Speaker 1: message was. Probably read that because I read it and
Speaker 1: you obviously didn't, So I said, yes, I did, just
Speaker 1: because I knew would make him mad and he which,
Speaker 1: of course, I haven't not gonna waste my time reading
Speaker 1: that ship. Well, speaking of that guy, the person who
Speaker 1: told you to read Atlas Shrug. The Coke Brothers, the
Speaker 1: Coke delegation has this like meeting the American Legislative Exchange
Speaker 1: Counsel where they talk about all the cool ways conservatives
Speaker 1: can make the world a worse place. I'm just assuming
Speaker 1: that person is probably a member of this board, yeah,
Speaker 1: or actually subscribed to it. Yeah, And like it's like
Speaker 1: one of these groups like where like Coke Aligned people
Speaker 1: definitely frequent this function because they were sending a letter like, hey,
Speaker 1: here's a good chance to start talking about this other
Speaker 1: thing that we're trying to get into the movement, which
Speaker 1: is this new climate change tack. A lot of the
Speaker 1: people who you know, they're they're looking at climate change
Speaker 1: and believing that it's just so unfair. How like all
Speaker 1: this talk of like responsibly not destroying the earth, it's
Speaker 1: just so unfair to all the people with massive fossil
Speaker 1: fuel stock portfolios. And I mean, what's that mean for us,
Speaker 1: not to the people you know countries are being destroyed,
Speaker 1: or you know who don't have no no, no, they
Speaker 1: these people who are over leveraged on in their fossil
Speaker 1: fuel portfolio, they are being screwed by what they believe
Speaker 1: are woke banks that won't give them money anymore because
Speaker 1: they fear earth to death or some ship. So their
Speaker 1: plan is was basically they said, when they're there, let's
Speaker 1: try and get this like two pieces of model legislation
Speaker 1: sort of through there so we can kind of explain
Speaker 1: to people what we're thinking as it as it relates
Speaker 1: to this sort of optics messaging campaign around climate change.
Speaker 1: And the whole thing is that they're trying to and
Speaker 1: we bring up critical race theory because this is sort
Speaker 1: of how they described it in the New Republic. They're
Speaker 1: essentially wanting to reframe this whole conversation that it's discrimination
Speaker 1: against possible fuel companies by woke banks, is their whole throughout.
Speaker 1: They have one he's called the Quote Resolution Opposing Securities
Speaker 1: and Exchange Commission and White House Mandates on climate related
Speaker 1: financial matters, basically urging states to like take up legal
Speaker 1: challenges against these kinds of rules that are coming from
Speaker 1: the federal financial regulators, like as it relates to climate change.
Speaker 1: They also have another one called the Energy Discrimination Elimination
Speaker 1: Act that these are again model legislation that hopefully they
Speaker 1: can get their lobbyists to put in the ears of
Speaker 1: state legislators or federal legislators to start putting some terrible
Speaker 1: laws through the legislature. But this one directs states to
Speaker 1: compile a list of entities that are supposedly boycotting fossil
Speaker 1: fuel companies, explicitly citing banks that are quote increasingly denying
Speaker 1: financing to credit worthy fossil energy companies solely for the
Speaker 1: purpose of decarbonizing their lending portfolios. And this is all
Speaker 1: matters sort of modeled around the anti BDS laws that
Speaker 1: you seem obviously BDS movement like as a related to
Speaker 1: supporting a free Palestine of boycott, divestment, and sanctions. They're
Speaker 1: they're like, the same way they did that. They're like,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna start doing this for people who want
Speaker 1: to start acting all woke by not getting the dirty fuels.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, I mean, it makes sense that they would.
Speaker 1: They have these people, they have people working full time
Speaker 1: on how to I mean not people if thousands of
Speaker 1: people working full time on on developing these crazy strategies,
Speaker 1: and they're all basically trolls professionally, and so they're like, wow,
Speaker 1: what if we made it like it was racist to
Speaker 1: be mad at people who pollute? Right, which is hard, right,
Speaker 1: because this is like, here's the thing, like the banks
Speaker 1: haven't been shy about getting in bed with the fossil
Speaker 1: fuel industry at all, and and you know it's one
Speaker 1: of those things that that the COP twenty six on it.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh no, man, like not even the banks
Speaker 1: are really having their ship together, like trying to do
Speaker 1: their part. So again, like critical race theory, this is
Speaker 1: just a play to give conservatives the thing to scream
Speaker 1: scream about without them realizing that they're fighting for a
Speaker 1: fucking nothing. Like just with critical race theory, it was
Speaker 1: like this fear of a thing that wasn't even being
Speaker 1: taught in schools, but that was their reality that they
Speaker 1: were pushing back against. Now I don't know if this
Speaker 1: is like a one to one comparison, because you know,
Speaker 1: with critical race theory that made sense because conservatives like
Speaker 1: can't stomach acknowledging that America has a sorted past, so
Speaker 1: actively denying this or being HOSTI olet towards the realization
Speaker 1: or acceptance of historical facts about America that that would
Speaker 1: help the conservatives like sort of maintain their sense of righteousness.
Speaker 1: I don't think climate change is as loaded as they think,
Speaker 1: because there's also there are groups where you're seeing parts
Speaker 1: of the country where people have been affected by climate
Speaker 1: change and conservatives being like, yeah, that the storms are
Speaker 1: getting worse. Actually there is a thing that might need
Speaker 1: to happen. So I don't know, I mean, I'll never
Speaker 1: I'll never underestimate the power of wealthy conservatives to convince people.
Speaker 1: It's racist to say of the earth, but it's it
Speaker 1: is just kind of an instructive to you know, look
Speaker 1: at how conservative America is. That it's like at a
Speaker 1: very cellular level that doing like not enough for about
Speaker 1: climate change, doing not enough about teaching people the truth
Speaker 1: about America's history is like causes this outsized reaction because
Speaker 1: it's just like or like saying police shouldn't murder unarmed
Speaker 1: black people is like causes this massive fucking backlash and
Speaker 1: is treated as like this extremist position. I do just
Speaker 1: want to add the detail that, like, so the idea
Speaker 1: that they are over leveraged on oil, like they they
Speaker 1: were the first people to find out about climate change
Speaker 1: through their own research, like they above, everyone should have
Speaker 1: known this was coming. Like it doesn't even like make
Speaker 1: any sorts of logical sense that they would be like
Speaker 1: a victim in any of this. They found out about
Speaker 1: climate change, suppressed the research, but they could have also
Speaker 1: been you know, investing money in alternate fuels, and instead
Speaker 1: they invested it in continuing to funk the world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just doubling down, continuing doubling down until you double down
Speaker 1: to the core of the earth and there's nothing left right,
Speaker 1: And and it's kind of amazing that, I mean, the
Speaker 1: history of just fossil fuels like being basically you know,
Speaker 1: like getting rid of like in Los Angeles when they
Speaker 1: used to have street cars and they the car companies
Speaker 1: made them get rid of it, Like they basically lobbied
Speaker 1: against public transportation so everyone would need a car in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. So there's like pictures from whatever, just like
Speaker 1: keeps of the old street cars from l A that
Speaker 1: used to like go around and had all this like
Speaker 1: decommissioned because of car companies. I mean, it's like we're
Speaker 1: just gonna have the worst like this the century or
Speaker 1: the you know, the the industrial from the Industrial Revolution
Speaker 1: to TikTok. It's just gonna be looked at such a
Speaker 1: fucking ridiculously sped up way to destroy everything. And and
Speaker 1: then it's gonna get piece together. But it's sad to
Speaker 1: sort of be in this where it's like you can
Speaker 1: really watch like just cars being invented two minutes ago,
Speaker 1: like really, and everyone is getting so fucking excited because
Speaker 1: we're just like basically monkeys were fancy monkeys, and we
Speaker 1: get to go on a thing that goes fast that
Speaker 1: has a radio in it. Cut too, we can't have
Speaker 1: cars anymore. You don't take a car from a monkey.
Speaker 1: It's as simple as that. You don't take money from
Speaker 1: a monkey. You don't take a guy who makes money
Speaker 1: off oil, you don't take away his oil banana. And
Speaker 1: and then there's there's we're all gonna be you know,
Speaker 1: we're all gonna be living on hills. And you know
Speaker 1: the worst thing is like when people are living on
Speaker 1: hills when the when the water is up to our
Speaker 1: next you know, those people who are people are who
Speaker 1: who did it, They're still gonna have some stupid comeback
Speaker 1: that they helped it. Wow, if it wasn't for you know,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have some team of people working on a
Speaker 1: way that they can say this with somebody else's fault
Speaker 1: and and anyway, it's so sad to see the car
Speaker 1: companies and the oil people have like, you know, knowingly
Speaker 1: pushed for this stuff. But then you just look at
Speaker 1: humanity and you say, well, you know, God is a jerk,
Speaker 1: you know, for putting this together. You know, I wish
Speaker 1: I didn't have to ship four times a day. People
Speaker 1: Susan sand and start blaming God. I don't really shod
Speaker 1: four does a day, but you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I remember that Jack carro Wack said, and some Jack
Speaker 1: carro Wack said in some book. I think it was
Speaker 1: big Sir. One of my favorite quotes that he said,
Speaker 1: Americans he thinks are in a bad mood because they
Speaker 1: don't have bad days. He said, America's walking around with
Speaker 1: dirty asses. Yeah, and that contributes to their general feistiness,
Speaker 1: bad temperament. Yeah, a clean asshole is clean. Seriously, just
Speaker 1: like simple things like that, like whenever I eat a hamburger,
Speaker 1: my life is ruined. Most people eat hamburgers all day,
Speaker 1: every day and energy drinks, and then they're like, fuck,
Speaker 1: this world is fucked up, but it's really their ass
Speaker 1: that's fucked up there. My father in law was telling
Speaker 1: my kids this thing fresh mouth fresh mind, which is
Speaker 1: like a Korean thing where like why you should like
Speaker 1: brush your teeth before you do anything. And I wish
Speaker 1: I had had this conversation before that, because so I
Speaker 1: could have been like, actually, fresh asshole, fresh fresh mind.
Speaker 1: I just couldn't believe like Carolac got into that. It
Speaker 1: was just like some little part in the book. I
Speaker 1: was just he was just like he just sort of
Speaker 1: sort of like mused for a second, there's the problems
Speaker 1: with America is that everybody in America has a dirty ass.
Speaker 1: And I was like, wow, yeah, all right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break on that note, and uh, we will
Speaker 1: be right back. And we're back, and you know, as
Speaker 1: part of what what we've been talking about since the
Speaker 1: show started, but you know, just in the previous act
Speaker 1: of you know, all of us being in a state
Speaker 1: of like kind of forced cognitive dissonance where we're like,
Speaker 1: but that's not the truth. But we live in a
Speaker 1: world that doesn't acknowledge the truth and like exists on
Speaker 1: the foundation of a lie. So one of the kind
Speaker 1: of embarrassing for from the outside, probably to anybody who's
Speaker 1: like kind of viewing the subjectively in the future, one
Speaker 1: of the embarrassing trends that will show up in history
Speaker 1: books from this period is regression, like how much we
Speaker 1: need to regress to our filthood to get through day
Speaker 1: to day life. And there's a new kind of high
Speaker 1: water mark in that with this, with this Fisher Price
Speaker 1: working baby phone. Yeah, I think every every person knows
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. Just picture the iconic nineteen one
Speaker 1: Fisher Price chatter phone. It's a phone with the rotary
Speaker 1: wheel and then literal like car wheels on the side,
Speaker 1: has like a smiling face on it, and it's all
Speaker 1: very colorful. They've made a Bluetooth enabled accessory out of this,
Speaker 1: and the promotional photos are just so funny to me
Speaker 1: and haunting because a lot of the pictures are full
Speaker 1: blown adults in their thirties and forties like using this
Speaker 1: toy phone and they're like, ha ha, I'm I'm talking
Speaker 1: to mom on toy phone. And I get Look, nostalgia
Speaker 1: is huge, but there's just something about this that just really,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like it just to see people seem
Speaker 1: like they're being saved by using this instead of their phone.
Speaker 1: I think speaks volumes. But at the same time, part
Speaker 1: I would be lying if I said that's it's kind
Speaker 1: of funny to me that would be stupid to have.
Speaker 1: And I think that's kind of, you know, sort of
Speaker 1: what the what the mission is right now with Fisher Price,
Speaker 1: they found a new niche for themselves to be like,
Speaker 1: come on, babies, bring it back to one, bring it back. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They're selling like like re selling the products to the
Speaker 1: adults now that they used as kids as repurposed as
Speaker 1: like yeah, hell yeah, this is the future. They're going
Speaker 1: to sell an actual car that you can drive on
Speaker 1: the highway. But it's shaped like that Fisher Price car,
Speaker 1: like with the yellow roof, and you know, people will
Speaker 1: drive it even though you will die immediately and regularly
Speaker 1: d cameras have to put up with that ship right right, Hello,
Speaker 1: I'm driving a ironic car. How are you for? Like
Speaker 1: many many little tykes kitchens there, I prefer to actually
Speaker 1: cook in here. It's a lot simpler. We have an
Speaker 1: open floor plan and we have a Fisher Price kitchen.
Speaker 1: We have a kitchen has done. We had it done
Speaker 1: by you know, like a developer or whatever kitchen people
Speaker 1: are called, and we had it. Yeah. The whole thing
Speaker 1: is like your kids, it's like that's an easy bake oven.
Speaker 1: But it's really like, you know, very expensive of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: really like Viking. That's a Viking range. It's a Viking.
Speaker 1: But it's like we got the stuff on the outside
Speaker 1: it looks like which means like we're fun people. Also,
Speaker 1: I noticed, and do you guys have a regular toilet
Speaker 1: in there? I just saw the that's it and what Okay?
Speaker 1: So when I'm done with it, do you empty? Oh? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're empty it. We have we have people, we have
Speaker 1: people empty. Yeah. We make them dress up like little
Speaker 1: Fisher Price work people, yellow helmet. Where the funk am I?
Speaker 1: But it seems like, yeah, this trend is going to continue,
Speaker 1: But there's something this just felt like really truly, I
Speaker 1: don't know, like we're I I feel like this is
Speaker 1: like we're only going to see things ramp up from here,
Speaker 1: because it does seem like a huge thing like people love,
Speaker 1: especially with the pandemic too, and like trying to just
Speaker 1: resort to whatever quite literally makes you the most comfortable,
Speaker 1: and people be like, yeah, I'm just gonna wear like
Speaker 1: sick gas pajamas or like this like influx I've seen
Speaker 1: of like just like leisure ropes for people to wear.
Speaker 1: Everything's just about comfort at this point. So if you
Speaker 1: need to be a baby on your phone. Enough. I
Speaker 1: do have a lawnmower that has a colorful ball popcorn
Speaker 1: popper on the top that I do my chores with.
Speaker 1: But but that's actually that's just cool, like okay, like
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with me in defense of
Speaker 1: these people. The capitalistic model of endless growth means these
Speaker 1: people are like Fisher Price is done, We've done it all.
Speaker 1: There's nothing else we can do. But they still have
Speaker 1: to have meetings and stuff. So someone's what about those
Speaker 1: what about those customers from forty years ago that we're
Speaker 1: buying stuff I don't know selling to him? Now make
Speaker 1: it relevant to them now they're not babies anymore. Lawn
Speaker 1: mower has gotten as good as it can get, but
Speaker 1: not if it shoots up little plastic pebbles when you
Speaker 1: roll it around down to it it cuts the lawn. Right,
Speaker 1: But you guys don't want to hear that, right, because
Speaker 1: well you've gone crazy across brand with Fisher Price er yeah, well,
Speaker 1: oh my god, dad watch and then suddenly like more
Speaker 1: people are using those than like traditional you know, John
Speaker 1: Deere writing mowers like I don't know, just something about it, man,
Speaker 1: lots simpler, Yeah, can you stas cut their fucking lawn
Speaker 1: with those like you know those old push mowers that
Speaker 1: like there's just a rotating blade. Oh yeah, I'm always
Speaker 1: wondering how committed like rocketbilly people are that. I have
Speaker 1: seen people cutting their lawn with the Simpsons lawnmower like
Speaker 1: that from you know, the one that's just like you
Speaker 1: push and it has it's like wheels with like aids connecting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, I've I've seen I've
Speaker 1: seen more and more of that, and they never look
Speaker 1: like they're having a great time with that thing. You
Speaker 1: were talking about time traveling? Were you talking about that
Speaker 1: on the show? Where were you talking about that before
Speaker 1: the show? On the show? That was on the show?
Speaker 1: Wednesday is a time traveling day? What does that mean?
Speaker 1: Pretend to be it? I think it's just a nod
Speaker 1: to like all the science fiction shows and films that
Speaker 1: have time traveling it. So it's like a day for
Speaker 1: people like that. It's okay, So I'd be like, use
Speaker 1: that lawnmower. Yeah, like using however you want to interpret it, Man,
Speaker 1: if you want to get out there and buy a
Speaker 1: shitty push lawnmower. A Manuel lawnmower then fucking do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and put on and were like a roll
Speaker 1: up some cigarettes in your sleeve, even exactly the door
Speaker 1: going and pretend it's nineteen imaginary year. Put on that
Speaker 1: little skull cap with a propeller on top. I like
Speaker 1: when they mix up the times, you know, like they
Speaker 1: were like, you know, they look like a prospect Or
Speaker 1: slash Danny Zuko slash Yeah, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like you're wearing a Prospector. You're mixing up your genres.
Speaker 1: Those pants are in the eighteen nineties, from ninety six.
Speaker 1: We actually call these pants denims. That's what the French
Speaker 1: people called them. Then, yeah, that's taking me straight to
Speaker 1: people finding denim and old mines. That's the dream, you know,
Speaker 1: they're they're looking at that. They like to find the cigarettes,
Speaker 1: like the Prince Albert and they'll sometimes find a minor
Speaker 1: cigarette from nineteen forty that's half smoked and there no they'
Speaker 1: just pick it up and go imagine who smoked this,
Speaker 1: which is like shit. You know, most of the Band
Speaker 1: of Mine exploration is just imagining. I mean, that's what
Speaker 1: it's all about. It's like, imagine who used this? Pick?
Speaker 1: Oh my God. It's a pick from God. The last
Speaker 1: person who used this that a crazy mustache. By the way,
Speaker 1: it's not all Wednesdays are pretend to be a time
Speaker 1: traveler day. This is December eight, pretend to be a
Speaker 1: time traveler. Yeah, we acknowledge all the international days now
Speaker 1: at the top of our show. There's just another one
Speaker 1: of these trends that I don't know if this one
Speaker 1: will even make the I mean, I guess celebrity obsession
Speaker 1: will make the history books of like just embarrassing ship
Speaker 1: from late stage capitalism when everybody had to distract themselves
Speaker 1: from what was happening. There's a new Justin Bieber branded
Speaker 1: Tim Horton's donnut in Collabo and people Canada are really
Speaker 1: into it. There's promotional material with Bieber at Tim Horton's HQ.
Speaker 1: This is this is a new trend that I've noticed
Speaker 1: in a couple of places. He is on a conference
Speaker 1: room table, sitting in the middle of the table like
Speaker 1: he doesn't know how to how to do it, Like
Speaker 1: he doesn't know how tables and chairs work because he's
Speaker 1: a rebel dude. That was like that reminded me of
Speaker 1: the machine gun Kellie thing where they're like, anybody who
Speaker 1: thinks it's not lit to work at Spotify check this out.
Speaker 1: And he's like doing air guitar down the middle of
Speaker 1: the from table. Do you remember the Office of the
Speaker 1: British Office when David does like like motivational corporate speaking
Speaker 1: and he's like, all right, let's take a photo really quick,
Speaker 1: and he hops on the table and does like a
Speaker 1: Burt Reynolds pose and they're like just standing his high
Speaker 1: and he's like British Office rules. Yeah, ex extras rules too, yeah,
Speaker 1: and yeah, so people are they're they're also doing the
Speaker 1: Duncan thing with the merch and it's selling out and
Speaker 1: then being resold for lots of money. And you know,
Speaker 1: McDonald's is launching Mariah Carries Christmas Menu, which they have
Speaker 1: imaginedly dubbed the Mariah Menu but literation. Yeah, what the
Speaker 1: hell's on that? Is this just like her favorites and
Speaker 1: it's like stuff that's been there, like that's everyone's favorites,
Speaker 1: Like the Big Mac. Have you heard about this one?
Speaker 1: The Big Mac? The Bigger who? The Big what? Now?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, hey, are they calling it the like the
Speaker 1: Big Mariah or something? For the holidays? So They've designed
Speaker 1: it like it's a advent calendar with a different McDonald's
Speaker 1: item every day. I can't even tell what some of
Speaker 1: them are. But you know you got the soft baked
Speaker 1: chocolate chip cookie, the apple pie. There's nothing novel about
Speaker 1: It's just like, Okay, you put your menu in calendar
Speaker 1: for him and then co opted Mariah Carry's name, which,
Speaker 1: for me personally, I refuse to believe Mariah Carey would
Speaker 1: ever eat McDonald's. No fucking way. I don't eat McDonald's
Speaker 1: If I don't eat McDonald's. Carry, he's never even been
Speaker 1: near McDonald's. That's that's just my That's just how I feel.
Speaker 1: I don't see how these two worlds combine, but I
Speaker 1: guess from marketing purposes. Yeah, what's what's another one? Like
Speaker 1: what would be another nonbelievable cross branding? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like anyone who's been on Friends, I feel like,
Speaker 1: let me fucking McDonald's or Jennifer like Papa John's menu
Speaker 1: exactly here. You probably like killed the delivery person and
Speaker 1: hit the body like one day, Like that's that's your
Speaker 1: closest interaction with Papa Johns. The Rachel is now a
Speaker 1: pizza whatever knots. Hi, I'm Jennifer Anderson, and when I
Speaker 1: go to Wiener Schnitzel, you know, I'm getting chili cheese.
Speaker 1: Refuses to eat it on camera, of course, or even
Speaker 1: even be in the same room as it, right, or
Speaker 1: she's like they're doing anything, like she's bringing it towards
Speaker 1: her mouth, and then they do a insert where it's
Speaker 1: a close up of like clearly a dude's mouth who
Speaker 1: was like had to be she wasn't right right right,
Speaker 1: but like putting like a nice manicure on the hand.
Speaker 1: We're like, yeah, come on, now, we all know. That's
Speaker 1: why I'm curious to see if this resonates, because I
Speaker 1: think with Bieber, like you appeal to younger kids. Younger kids, sure,
Speaker 1: they're they're still eating junk food, have less money, but
Speaker 1: like made by Dunkin Donuts exactly, or you know, drifted
Speaker 1: or fast fashion. But I just don't Mariah look carry
Speaker 1: for Dollar General. Yeah, whenever I'm a dollar General, what
Speaker 1: is dollar General? I feel like it's a lamb observation
Speaker 1: to be like, celebrities are our modern day like Greek gods.
Speaker 1: But there like that's something I've always just like kind
Speaker 1: of thought was true. And there's this article, this New
Speaker 1: York article about somebody who like basically documents dreams and
Speaker 1: has been documenting dreams like during the pandemic to see
Speaker 1: what they're if they're shared things and all this stuff
Speaker 1: you would expect is pretty much they're like like what
Speaker 1: you would expect a pandemic dream to be like. But
Speaker 1: they said that, like it's known among dreams, like people
Speaker 1: who pay attention to and analyzed dreams that like celebrities
Speaker 1: are officially like filling the purpose that gods did in
Speaker 1: ancient Greece, like the because they were keeping track of
Speaker 1: their dreams back then. And it's just like all the
Speaker 1: same dreams, but just swapping celebrities instead of like zeus.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's you know that Maria Bamford bit about
Speaker 1: Jennifer Anderston being the like the monkey that knows where
Speaker 1: the most bananas are, like when people follow celebrities because
Speaker 1: they have access to the most bananas, basically, like that's
Speaker 1: the same thing where it's like and back to like
Speaker 1: I somehow ended up like you know, I'm on YouTube,
Speaker 1: book and for ship, and I'll like run into something
Speaker 1: like you know what what Nietzsche right said? You know
Speaker 1: like some four minute video or is like, do you
Speaker 1: want to know what Nietzschie is so you can say
Speaker 1: it at a dinner party, which I had never been
Speaker 1: to a dinner party, but okay, whole different lifestyle. And
Speaker 1: I love that guy's YouTube videos. He's the best. That's
Speaker 1: so that's so sad that that's so sad that he
Speaker 1: passed away. He was one of my favorite e d
Speaker 1: M d j's Like, uh well, actually it's too many
Speaker 1: ease they would have less vowels. The Nietzi anyway, just
Speaker 1: needs you. The whole God is dead thing, like how
Speaker 1: you know that period when he was talking about it
Speaker 1: was it seems like a long time ago, but you
Speaker 1: know it's not a long time agoes like two hundred
Speaker 1: years ago, which you know, big pictures, no time. So
Speaker 1: just the idea that without his point being, God is
Speaker 1: dead and then the culture is gonna go bananas because
Speaker 1: you know, he's like he was talking about the secular
Speaker 1: secularization that was going on then and and that was
Speaker 1: like nothing compared to now, you know, so it's like
Speaker 1: people really need to have something to do or to
Speaker 1: believe in. I mean, otherwise you just mill around. And
Speaker 1: that's what we're in right now in America. It is
Speaker 1: just this point where people are like don't believe in
Speaker 1: the government. They don't really believe in fucking anything right now,
Speaker 1: and it's a dangerous period. And that's where these fascists
Speaker 1: come in and say, I'll tell you what to believe in.
Speaker 1: We just need someone to yell at everybody to get
Speaker 1: people in line. You know, I'll be your new God.
Speaker 1: That's what Trump filled. I feel like that, like that
Speaker 1: was the thing, that that revelation that like psychologically that's
Speaker 1: where celebrities are. They are like the modern day God's
Speaker 1: Like that made me less like surprised, but like more
Speaker 1: certain that that is like celebrities role at the center
Speaker 1: of our culture is probably headed for a fall. And
Speaker 1: like it starts, it starts making sense of the like
Speaker 1: why the president at like fromwy was like live tweeting
Speaker 1: the Oscars and just like shipping on everybody because you know,
Speaker 1: like he's positioning himself as the anti like you know,
Speaker 1: Hollywood celebrity. I don't know if it's on purpose or
Speaker 1: because they don't like him, but it works the same.
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, he sees them as his his only competition,
Speaker 1: right Well, yeah, yeah, that's a that's a I just
Speaker 1: remember that. The one I remember one of my first
Speaker 1: like interactions with Nietzsche was in my like Lutheran elementary school,
Speaker 1: like on a field trip. One of the teachers wore
Speaker 1: a shirt that had a quote. It's on the front
Speaker 1: it said God is Dead, and then it says it's
Speaker 1: subscribed to Nietchi and then on the back it says
Speaker 1: Nietzsche is dead God Holy Ship. And remember asking my dad,
Speaker 1: I was like, what is that? He said, who had that?
Speaker 1: That sounds like critical race theory to me? He's like
Speaker 1: that dude, He's like, have you seen how much he
Speaker 1: starts playing that acoustic guitar. He's not getting into What
Speaker 1: did you just say? Did you just say he's not
Speaker 1: getting it in no very crude description? Is that what
Speaker 1: you said? Though? Yes, okay, because I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's that's that's that's so? Is that the new? Does
Speaker 1: that what it means? Not getting not not getting laid? Yeah,
Speaker 1: just you know, getting you know what I'm saying, you're
Speaker 1: getting whatever. Yeah, but you're getting it in as a
Speaker 1: definitely different connotations. I got it, so okay. So, because
Speaker 1: I was over at my friends Thanksgiving and they're they
Speaker 1: have kids, and they were talking about now kids say
Speaker 1: that if you're no one ever admits there dating anybody.
Speaker 1: They just say they're talking to them. Did you know that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like they just say we've been talking for three months
Speaker 1: and that means fucking yeah, Like that's what kids say,
Speaker 1: and and and and it was girls talking to me
Speaker 1: like young you know, teenage girls just complaining like my
Speaker 1: friend's daughters. And they were like, yeah, like these guys
Speaker 1: are just using it as a they won't they just
Speaker 1: say talking. They want to stay talking because it gives
Speaker 1: them an out. Basically, you know, it's just like I
Speaker 1: wasn't you're just talking right? Yeah, Like, well yeah we're not.
Speaker 1: They were. It's like they're like it's basically an idea
Speaker 1: men came up with, so they just couldn't wouldn't have
Speaker 1: to commit to having a girlfriend. Yeah, so you even
Speaker 1: in high school now people are trying to be players.
Speaker 1: I mean I remember when I was growing up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got you think Jesus and you asked that woman
Speaker 1: to marry you and she went to college and forgot
Speaker 1: about you. I feel like every generation has their own
Speaker 1: like euphemism that but talking is like, really, that's like
Speaker 1: very impersonal when you're yeah, because I feel like that,
Speaker 1: even because I feel like when I was in college
Speaker 1: sort of really began like the earnest push to like
Speaker 1: completely obscure what kind of relationship you were in. You'd
Speaker 1: be like, no, no, no, we just no, we just
Speaker 1: kind of seeing each other, like that's your fucking girlfriend, right,
Speaker 1: and you're like, no, no, no, we're just seeing each other.
Speaker 1: She's pregnant and we are codependent in a very unhealthy way.
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, but I think that was just me
Speaker 1: to convince myself if I wasn't about to be my parents.
Speaker 1: I was amazed, like yeah, like, do you Marcy take
Speaker 1: what's his name to talk to for all eternity? I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I just just I was
Speaker 1: surprised by that. I didn't know. I mean, of course
Speaker 1: it makes sense. I mean, as supposed to. Our model
Speaker 1: didn't work either, which was fall in love with your
Speaker 1: high school girlfriend and say you're gonna get married and
Speaker 1: stayed together forever until it's also which is also a
Speaker 1: complete madness, and then you call her at college, yeah,
Speaker 1: and some guy answers the phone. Yeah, that's what's what
Speaker 1: the greatest song of all time? And she says, it's
Speaker 1: just your friend and then a friend and then you call,
Speaker 1: but then you call a bunch of times. He keeps
Speaker 1: answering the phone and then you start to sweat, and
Speaker 1: that you is me. I prefer just making whoopie. That's
Speaker 1: that's the term that I prefer. Oh you you know
Speaker 1: another another field trip thing we got in trouble for
Speaker 1: my boy Nick. He wore a hat from making Georgia
Speaker 1: that was spelled like M A C O and like
Speaker 1: making Georgia, and he said, making whoopee. And I remember,
Speaker 1: you know, the fucking Lutherans tripped the fuck out at
Speaker 1: the Mark Taper Theater when we want to go see
Speaker 1: Huckleberry Finn or some ship. Anyway I had you were
Speaker 1: raised Lutheran, Miles, No, no, no, I was just like
Speaker 1: the cheapest school that my parents could afford h Northolica
Speaker 1: at the time. Just that it sounds like hardcore Lutheran,
Speaker 1: I think, er, oh no, no, it was like I
Speaker 1: definitely I learned the ways of the church, but like
Speaker 1: in a very like outside way. I'm like, okay, I'm
Speaker 1: not to invest in this, but interesting, interesting to see
Speaker 1: Miles still wears a hair shirt underneath his outer T
Speaker 1: shirts for our recordings. Just he doesn't feel comfortable or
Speaker 1: creative or like he's with hair shirts on podcasts anymore.
Speaker 1: It's about time we changed that hair shirt. Yeah, uh, Chris,
