Speaker 1: seven was a great year for hip hop. Episode one
Speaker 1: of the daily zychist Our production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: This podcast is you know what's the one where we
Speaker 1: take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. It's Monday,
Speaker 1: August nine. My name is Miles Great a K. Do
Speaker 1: you have the time to listen to my spine about
Speaker 1: the golden age of hip hop? I am one of
Speaker 1: those el der millennias. G funk to the bone, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Okay, that's true. That is me. Shout
Speaker 1: out to hip on the discord for that basket case
Speaker 1: inspired a K. I'm thrilled to be joined yet again
Speaker 1: by my guest co host, somebody I don't do. I
Speaker 1: have to keep introducing her. We get it. She's brilliant,
Speaker 1: she's talented, she's vivacious. She's heard her on so many podcasts.
Speaker 1: You've seen her on so many things. She's given her
Speaker 1: takes on movies, films, anime, music, anything. If I have
Speaker 1: a bad opinion, I go to her. Said this, this this
Speaker 1: is a good opinion on media. No I said, Okay,
Speaker 1: never mind, never mind, never mind. I didn't think that
Speaker 1: anyway I touched you. Please welcome my guest host. My
Speaker 1: writer died Joel MONI I am bad, probably not going
Speaker 1: to defend Marvel today. We'll be getting into some epic
Speaker 1: Dolly party. Not to steal your thunder for later, Miles
Speaker 1: that I'm really excited for this segment, particularly because I'm look,
Speaker 1: I'm excited too. Let's we might as well just get
Speaker 1: right into it. Our next guest is somebody who you know,
Speaker 1: I didn't realize. I'm like, I think we're meant to
Speaker 1: be friends. Okay, somebody from the Bay Area, San Francisco.
Speaker 1: So you know, we got that Callie Love. But she
Speaker 1: decided to make a sojourn away from the Great State.
Speaker 1: And again, it's nothing to do with politics or anything
Speaker 1: like that. I mentioned this because she is the person
Speaker 1: who opened my eyes to the majesty that is Dolly Park.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize until one of the first times our
Speaker 1: guests came on and opened me to what it was
Speaker 1: to understand the majesty that is Dollar. Aside from that,
Speaker 1: she's not just a Dolly Parton advocate, Okay, she's a
Speaker 1: motherfucking's stand up comedian who's hilarious as fuck, and you
Speaker 1: need to be hearing her wherever she is, wherever she's performing,
Speaker 1: wherever she appears. Please welcome one of my favorite guests, Lydia.
Speaker 1: Wow what what what an intro? Oh my god? It's
Speaker 1: so rare that somebody introduces me and really gets it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It really understands the crux
Speaker 1: of my personality, which truly is guns, Dolly partner and
Speaker 1: weed like that. I think, Yeah, you know, we're all
Speaker 1: intersecting today. I need a family. I need a family crust,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean with just like a big wig,
Speaker 1: a big blunt, like an a k and then like
Speaker 1: a television set and maybe like some fries like that
Speaker 1: is like just all the way met. But maybe I'm
Speaker 1: in love with you. I don't know, it might be happy,
Speaker 1: I might be folly right. It's it's a wig draped
Speaker 1: on top of a television set and underneath are like
Speaker 1: two crossed guns with like nachos and French fries just
Speaker 1: just crowded around. It's perfect, man, you know, not a
Speaker 1: lot and then everything you know how it works? Since
Speaker 1: we last talk. After continuing my just my quest to
Speaker 1: be chilled, my quest just to settle in my quest
Speaker 1: to give as little fuss as possible about things that
Speaker 1: don't impact my life directly. Um. Always always propatizing Miss
Speaker 1: Dolly Parton, trying to get the word out. That is
Speaker 1: one of my main purposes on this life. And addition
Speaker 1: to making people laugh, as making sure that everybody understands
Speaker 1: and realizes that Dolly Parton will change your life and
Speaker 1: that you need at least a sliver of her magic
Speaker 1: in your world to shine on your face, that you
Speaker 1: know that everything's gonna be okay because she is a living, breathing,
Speaker 1: walking angel on this earth, blessing us with gifts every day,
Speaker 1: even when you don't know what Dolly Parton is doing
Speaker 1: something for you. You know what I mean? This is
Speaker 1: I love it. Oh wow. And then it's like a
Speaker 1: cowboy rope with two stars, but it's too smoking spoken
Speaker 1: evoking the breasts wonderful because I mean, how long did
Speaker 1: that take? How long did it take for that? It
Speaker 1: was pretty quick. It was like maybe an hour, hour
Speaker 1: and fifteen. They're just cooking with gas. Yeah, handsome sweets
Speaker 1: that and Nashville. He's amazing. Check him out. Welcome takes Nashville.
Speaker 1: He's amazing, great great, great tattoo artists. Yeah. Well, before
Speaker 1: we get to know you a little bit better, Lydia,
Speaker 1: I want to tell y'all, like I said last time,
Speaker 1: we are having a live stream virtual show on the internets,
Speaker 1: Jack and I Memories from Anna. You will see old
Speaker 1: pictures of us, you will see our musings on the
Speaker 1: year two thousand plus special guests possibly. So come see
Speaker 1: the show that we were doing on the road, but
Speaker 1: with a few more tweaks. It's gonna be a great time.
Speaker 1: And we would love to see y'all virtually in a
Speaker 1: safe way, because that's probably the best way we can
Speaker 1: get to all of you. So check out the tickets.
Speaker 1: You can get them at moment house dot com, slash
Speaker 1: the daily zeitgeists. Remember that E before I in this situation. Okay,
Speaker 1: so check out that for tickets, and we hope to
Speaker 1: see you there. Now, before we get to know you
Speaker 1: even Betterly, we're gonna give people a little preview of
Speaker 1: what we're gonna talk about today. First up, the Sturgist
Speaker 1: bike Rally is happening again. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: remember last year, and he was also in the pandemic.
Speaker 1: They're doing it again this year, and just a couple
Speaker 1: of things to just sort of consider when we think about,
Speaker 1: you know, close to three quarters of a million people
Speaker 1: converging on a single place at one time. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about the California governor's recall, because if people sleep on
Speaker 1: this one, we might get a real weird governor for
Speaker 1: the next couple of years. So something to keep our
Speaker 1: eyes on. Although you know you have me do something.
Speaker 1: You might have to come with it though to inspire
Speaker 1: people to keep you in office. Or the other thing
Speaker 1: is we're checking on the GOP. You know they remember
Speaker 1: they were suing Nancy Pelosi from you know, her mask
Speaker 1: mandate because so many of them are not vaccinated. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about them. We'll also talk about Moe Brooks, who
Speaker 1: we touched on who you know, he's being sued by
Speaker 1: fellow congress person Eric Swalwell for inciting a riot on
Speaker 1: January six. He's representing himself in court and that's, uh
Speaker 1: spoiler alert, is hilarious. And then we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: LaVar Burton. Turns out he's not getting it. Looks like
Speaker 1: he's not getting that Jeopardy gig I'm we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that because it feels like a bit of a bait
Speaker 1: and switch there. And also again Dolly Parton, she stays goaded. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're again, Like Lydia was saying she might have done
Speaker 1: ship seventy years ago that we didn't know about that
Speaker 1: we're now reaping the benefits of today. I mean, she
Speaker 1: already helped pay for a vaccine to be developed. We
Speaker 1: have a little bit more just just light flexing from
Speaker 1: her where she just says off handedly on watch what
Speaker 1: Happens Live, just like, oh yeah, I did that. So
Speaker 1: we'll talk about her. But first, before we get to
Speaker 1: any of that, Lydia, what is something from your search
Speaker 1: history that is revealing about who you are, what you're
Speaker 1: up to. Well, it's a little embarrassing. I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and tell you guys, it is frequent
Speaker 1: your nation in kittens. M I just I just got
Speaker 1: a pair of kittens. I haven't had kittens for a while,
Speaker 1: and I've forgotten about them. I had a cat for
Speaker 1: like twenty years and got a brand new, brand new kittens.
Speaker 1: Was like, got a new house, gotta get some new kittens.
Speaker 1: Was very excited. Found them. They're adorable. Yeah, but then
Speaker 1: I was like, I forgot how rowdy they are. But
Speaker 1: they are around like they are fighting. That's like ww e,
Speaker 1: kitty time in here. But then I can't get her
Speaker 1: out of this One cat that I have is like
Speaker 1: just playing the litter box. Orf He's just in there,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, dude, a g t E the kittens
Speaker 1: get u T eyes. But then it turns out that
Speaker 1: some cats just play in the litter box, and I
Speaker 1: think this little dirty funk is literally just like a
Speaker 1: little trash dog. But he just likes to get in there,
Speaker 1: and he just like rolls around and he likes to
Speaker 1: get in there in any hinds. And then he his sister,
Speaker 1: he pretends he's been and then he jumps out of
Speaker 1: the box and goes savage on his sister doing like
Speaker 1: a no look, just like no, and they got you
Speaker 1: like so it's not even it's okay, fake piece. And
Speaker 1: I was just like, Okay, appreciate the gangster, Like that's
Speaker 1: very solid, Like I know my house is not going
Speaker 1: to have any pests because you were going to be
Speaker 1: hiding and getting them. He's a little hunter. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, I was just like I have to
Speaker 1: wipe you off now every time I want to touch you,
Speaker 1: because I know your little dirty ass has been rolling
Speaker 1: around on this catlet Like Ross, what do you do? You?
Speaker 1: What can you do? Like just change up the litter
Speaker 1: to maybe something that isn't as fun and more functional.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get a litter box with a lid
Speaker 1: on it so he can't see so it's harder to like,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, So it's more of a
Speaker 1: private time, so he can't be like in the box
Speaker 1: like looking around, like peeping everything out. I think that
Speaker 1: will help, but I'm not sure. Man. It's just embarrassing
Speaker 1: that I'm like I've always been like a hands off,
Speaker 1: hands on catman, where like I love my animals, but
Speaker 1: I'm not a lady like obsessive about it. But with
Speaker 1: these kittens, I have found myself becoming very much like
Speaker 1: a helicopter cat mom, where I'm like, are you okay?
Speaker 1: Are you older? I've never in my life thought I
Speaker 1: was going to be Somebody was like googling that, and
Speaker 1: I was just like googling, like he's gonna make a
Speaker 1: rod diet for my cats, And I'm just like, get
Speaker 1: you need some other hobbies or some new friends, because
Speaker 1: you are really talking about signing on for your cats.
Speaker 1: I had to go raw for one of my cats
Speaker 1: because they were just so sensitive to like the trash
Speaker 1: food I was giving them. And one of the listeners
Speaker 1: is that gang like an animal dietitian, and like, hit
Speaker 1: me up. It's like you might want to try something
Speaker 1: else because what sounds like is your cat is not
Speaker 1: coping with these bad foods. And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I went. I mean I went about like
Speaker 1: nice gass food, like I went to the good pet
Speaker 1: store about all grain free shape like they're they're they're good,
Speaker 1: but because I want I'm kind of bouche and I'm
Speaker 1: just like I want my cats to be the prettiest,
Speaker 1: so like maybe I need to. Oh my cat went
Speaker 1: on that raw diet her coat just like it was
Speaker 1: a whole glow up, and I was like, what the funk?
Speaker 1: And I was like, man, me some of that ship.
Speaker 1: Maybe my hero grow back. See that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought I was doing good because
Speaker 1: I bought cat food with with coconut oil in it.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, with coconut oil. I was like,
Speaker 1: told me that makes everything better. Like it's gotta work,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, she's the marketing got it.
Speaker 1: My little black Queen's gotta be gorgeous. You know, what
Speaker 1: are your cast names? One doesn't have a name yet.
Speaker 1: The boy, his name is Bruce Dwayne, and that's because
Speaker 1: her partners, Yeah, I wants called Batman. And I was
Speaker 1: just like, I can't have a cat named Batman. I
Speaker 1: just can't. So I was like Bruce. But then he's black,
Speaker 1: so we're like, he's de Wayne. Brust Awayne likes, that's
Speaker 1: our little brucet a Wayne. And then the girl, I'm
Speaker 1: I thought your name in him after Dwyane Wayne from
Speaker 1: a different world, but now it's also I am it's
Speaker 1: not it's not Deweezy too, you know, not deezy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then the other one, she's sleeping in the funniest
Speaker 1: position right now. She's literally like this, like put her
Speaker 1: hands back up right now. I don't know what to
Speaker 1: call her yet. I wanted to be an old lady name,
Speaker 1: so I've been cycling through. Like my first idea was
Speaker 1: Judy because Dolly Party's best friend's name is Julie Ogle.
Speaker 1: And I was like Judy and then there's also, you know,
Speaker 1: my best Judy also known as your best friend, and
Speaker 1: she's gonna be my best friend. So I was really
Speaker 1: considering calling your Judy also, Bruce and Judy sounds really
Speaker 1: cute together. I love it, but I'm not sure. I've
Speaker 1: been yelling Judy like, you've got to make sure that
Speaker 1: the pet name like yellot, you know, And I'm like Judy, like,
Speaker 1: it feels weird to yell itt. So I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: Surely I like Shirley. Surely good Shirl Shirley. And she's
Speaker 1: all white. She's a lightlac point siades. So I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm an old white lady would be good. And then
Speaker 1: mill drink. Oh that's good, that's super old. Sound like that.
Speaker 1: I'm going back in time with you. But Petty Betty
Speaker 1: has been sticking because she's a little hissy, so we
Speaker 1: keep pulling her Petty Betty White, but Petty Betty Bruce
Speaker 1: and then you have you. I've been denying it just
Speaker 1: because I'm I don't mean I'll respect to Betty White.
Speaker 1: I think she's wonderful, but I don't really like it,
Speaker 1: like that she's not my white lady. It's so it's like,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I was like, and then I
Speaker 1: was like another friend of mine was like truth, I
Speaker 1: was like, no, that's like a little too obvious, which
Speaker 1: was Star Parton's character. And still like anius, But I
Speaker 1: don't know, Petty Betty might went out. I might just
Speaker 1: like hold and just petty Betty is fun to say,
Speaker 1: and she is petty. She's very petty. So aside from
Speaker 1: just real lame cat names, what is something you think
Speaker 1: is overrated? Overrated? Graceland? I went to Graceland last Monday
Speaker 1: for the very first time, and I was really excited
Speaker 1: about it, you know what I mean. Like, I'm not
Speaker 1: a huge Elvis fan, but I am a fan of
Speaker 1: kitchy furniture and bad taste, which that man had in spades.
Speaker 1: So I really thought Graceland was going to be like
Speaker 1: the ship like that, that was really going to be
Speaker 1: the situation. And it was the world's most boring tour.
Speaker 1: They hand you an iPad and some headphones, like this
Speaker 1: huge iPad you're supposed to carry around and like like
Speaker 1: swipe through while you're wanting Yeah, dude, it's like this.
Speaker 1: It was huge and add on one of those weird
Speaker 1: plastic things like they give to baby so if you
Speaker 1: drop it. And I had like a neck land here
Speaker 1: and so I was just like, I don't want to
Speaker 1: wear this, not chain this around my neck and this.
Speaker 1: They're like I can see everything exactly, and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: if you want to read extra material and they're just
Speaker 1: like so weird. So everyone's standing there like sheep, like
Speaker 1: trying to stare into this living room looking at their
Speaker 1: iPad and the like the rooms right there, you're looking
Speaker 1: at a picture of the room on your iPad, the
Speaker 1: rooms right there. Let's let's keep it les, yeah, And
Speaker 1: they don't let you in the second story of the
Speaker 1: of the house. It's just the first. It's like literally
Speaker 1: five rooms that you get to see and then busted
Speaker 1: as airplanes. And then it's also full of lies, like
Speaker 1: they don't acknowledge at any point in time that he
Speaker 1: died of drug over notes. I don't mention it. They're
Speaker 1: like on the plane, they're like, oh, you know all
Speaker 1: of this. Famously didn't like the taste of alcohol, so hey,
Speaker 1: drink I dr pepper and I was like, yeah, with cocaine,
Speaker 1: Like he only did that to get past the drif. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he mixed it with soda like that man was
Speaker 1: a walking pharmaceutical nightmare. And they just had a really
Speaker 1: creepy they had like his soup and he got married
Speaker 1: in and Pressley Priscilla's. They had Priscilla's wedding dress and
Speaker 1: it's on a child mannequin And I was like, is
Speaker 1: nobody and to mention that this is a child's mannequin, like,
Speaker 1: we're not going to acknowledge that she was a fucking child?
Speaker 1: Was this that happen? It was just it was a
Speaker 1: really gross I just I ended up like leaving being like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is dumb. I can't believe I paid seventy dollars
Speaker 1: from this, like what was the version? Seven? Seven dollars?
Speaker 1: And then they have all these auxiliary exhibits. It's supposed
Speaker 1: to make you feel better about it. It's basically like
Speaker 1: other people's clothes, Like they had a dress and Dolly
Speaker 1: Partons there in an exhibit called Elvis Influence Style, And
Speaker 1: I was like, you get the funk out of here.
Speaker 1: If you're trying to tell me that flu Dolly Parton,
Speaker 1: I'm a fight on a sun dollar like that. Who's
Speaker 1: responsible here for five rooms is absurd? Like so in
Speaker 1: your mind you would have been like it would it's
Speaker 1: a perfectly preserved, like wacky celebrity home that you kind
Speaker 1: of just see and do that ship. But really it's
Speaker 1: just like it's almost like someone's like up to grandparents
Speaker 1: house where it's like, don't go in that room pretty much,
Speaker 1: and you can look at this room from there. Don't
Speaker 1: go in there, and don't sit on the fucking couch either, correct,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, show me the bathroom, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, show me. I don't see where he died died.
Speaker 1: You should be able to take a picture on the
Speaker 1: fucking toilet that he died on. Come on, I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, is it? Is it that flipping? Is that
Speaker 1: maybe that's disrespectful. But I don't know if you're charging
Speaker 1: seventy bucks for seventy bucks? Oh I know? Is the
Speaker 1: Dolly Partons Museum is pretty inside of her amusement park,
Speaker 1: So you know what I'm saying, inside of her amusement money.
Speaker 1: She's smart. She's like, look, if you're gonna pay for something,
Speaker 1: you won't get an amusement park first. Then you can
Speaker 1: look at all this. You can come and ride my
Speaker 1: rides or you can come look at all my stuff.
Speaker 1: Here's every dress I've ever worn, here's all my handwriting,
Speaker 1: here's everything you need. I just I don't know, Like
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm a fan of fandom, and like I
Speaker 1: was trying to put myself in the shoes of like
Speaker 1: a hardcore Elvis fan, and I was like, I think
Speaker 1: I'd still be disappointed, Like there's not enough. There was
Speaker 1: not There was not one, you guys, not one Elvis suit,
Speaker 1: not original clothing. There was a whole museum of other
Speaker 1: people's clothing. There was no Elvis clothing. Like, if anything,
Speaker 1: I want to show me a beated jumpsuit. That man
Speaker 1: had plethora's of beated jumpsuits he's known for. Basically, Like
Speaker 1: what's going on? Not one, not one set of blue
Speaker 1: sled shoes, not one jumpsuit, nothing. They had all four altmos,
Speaker 1: but they did not want an Elvis jumpsuit. Who here
Speaker 1: rate in this museum? And why? That's what I want
Speaker 1: to know. I have so many I had so many
Speaker 1: more questions for going to Gracel maybe like a guitar pick,
Speaker 1: probably no celaborate acid Memphis, like gang, let us know
Speaker 1: what happened? Did it usual to be good and something
Speaker 1: went wrong. Did he did he like, oh, some bills
Speaker 1: or something and they had to like liquidate a bunch
Speaker 1: of ship. I have no idea. I'm just like I
Speaker 1: just I was just starting to be disrespectful. At one point,
Speaker 1: I was like, can you show me the room where
Speaker 1: he kept the contracts? But the people he sucked over?
Speaker 1: Can you show me the room? Yeah? I was. I
Speaker 1: was not happy. It was. It was a waste of time.
Speaker 1: I could have never bet it again. If I can
Speaker 1: save anybody from going to Graceland, don't go. Don't unless
Speaker 1: you're like a super fan and you need to be disappointed. Don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: right to see it for yourself and be like, but
Speaker 1: I had to do it, but I had to do it.
Speaker 1: But I had to do it. You know what, something
Speaker 1: that you think is underrated, you know what. And I've
Speaker 1: been struggling with this, But if I keep on thinking
Speaker 1: about it every time, I tried to enjoy myself as
Speaker 1: great weight service, wonderful waiters. Like. It sucks right now
Speaker 1: because all these restaurants are trying to stay open, right
Speaker 1: and they're trying to kind of like make money and
Speaker 1: trying to like make the most of a bad situation.
Speaker 1: Like I know it's wrong. It's hard to go out
Speaker 1: to eat, you know what I mean, And people aren't
Speaker 1: going to work, and so they're overworks these restaurants. You know,
Speaker 1: these people aren't even having the chance to be good waiters.
Speaker 1: Like I forgot how nice it is to go out,
Speaker 1: but it's not nice to go out unless you have
Speaker 1: good weight service. And it's not these people's fault, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like they're stretched so thin there
Speaker 1: across four or five tables, they're trying to do stuff.
Speaker 1: It's like I ate out several times this past week
Speaker 1: because I was going to grace Land and spending some
Speaker 1: time with some friends, and every time we went to
Speaker 1: go out to eat, it was just a nightmare. And
Speaker 1: I was like it was never It didn't used to
Speaker 1: be like this, Like you used to have to go
Speaker 1: in and like great get great service. And now these
Speaker 1: people are just like exhausted, and they're also terrified for
Speaker 1: their lives, right because they're in places with people and
Speaker 1: it's just difficult to like I'm really just being a
Speaker 1: good waiter and working at a place that values you
Speaker 1: and being able to provide great weight service and to
Speaker 1: have those interactions and a dining service. It's just like,
Speaker 1: I think something that we all take for granted, and
Speaker 1: we all really really need to appreciate people that are
Speaker 1: out there that are working or doing it the job
Speaker 1: and you're trying their best to get that food. And
Speaker 1: then I think some of these restaurants just need to
Speaker 1: like close down and reduce their service and like have
Speaker 1: quality service instead of just the time. It's just government, Like,
Speaker 1: let's get rid of this wage salary. Yeah, there's two
Speaker 1: four dollars whatever it is. Don't live up that you're
Speaker 1: not making enough in tips. So many people just choose
Speaker 1: not to tip. Some people have three dollars I had
Speaker 1: in my purse. I guess you could have that. The
Speaker 1: reason we started that was because we ended slavery, and
Speaker 1: then we had to figure out a way to not
Speaker 1: pay these people but pay them, and then for some
Speaker 1: reason we just kind of kept doing it. I don't
Speaker 1: know what the heck happened there. Yeah, it's terrible, and yeah,
Speaker 1: you really feel for like just all people who again
Speaker 1: were considered essential, right and had all this praise and
Speaker 1: like these selfless people and no sucking financial acknowledgement of that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's it's it's tough times. And it's
Speaker 1: really true. Like wherever you go, especially like in the
Speaker 1: hospitality industry, like a business, you will see them. They
Speaker 1: are plastering all of the benefits like on the door,
Speaker 1: like to be like we're looking for this, this is
Speaker 1: what it caused. We'll hook your teeth up, we'll hook
Speaker 1: your your eyes up, whatever you need or your body
Speaker 1: what what like, we're good. But the one thing you
Speaker 1: see is like the way, the ways is never really
Speaker 1: go above like fourteen fifteen and then like and I
Speaker 1: get especially if you're running a small business that might
Speaker 1: not be feasible. But for places that are doing high
Speaker 1: volume and making millions in revenue, god, like you do better. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And in a way, it's like I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know how we expect people whose the whole reason
Speaker 1: for living in terms of like the people who run
Speaker 1: these companies to suddenly be like, you know what if
Speaker 1: we made less money. So unless the government man dates something,
Speaker 1: it'll be very interesting or you know more, maybe a
Speaker 1: general strike, maybe the October fift maybe maybe maybe that,
Speaker 1: maybe that might happen. I don't know, look at it.
Speaker 1: October fifte strike yeah, so like forward to having a
Speaker 1: great meal that is with a great waiter who is
Speaker 1: happy and or they are happy. I should say I
Speaker 1: don't want to gender a waiter, but you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, anybody who who's working in that position just
Speaker 1: feels comfortable, safe enough to provide wonderful service that doesn't
Speaker 1: like is requiring them to risk their life and their livelihood, right,
Speaker 1: because I mean I feel like unless you're working at
Speaker 1: like a super high end restaurant, like the tips might
Speaker 1: not always be kind of at that level that will
Speaker 1: keep a smile on your face. And it's funny when
Speaker 1: you go to when you go to countries where there's
Speaker 1: a robust social safety net, motherfucker's are happy at every job,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Because most people like half
Speaker 1: of the battle of going clocking in and like, I
Speaker 1: hate this mother fucking place. I don't pay your fucking bullshit.
Speaker 1: What the funk am I doing here? Hi? How are you?
Speaker 1: You know? Yeah? Happy here? I'm glad you have free
Speaker 1: time to spend in order this same which right, And
Speaker 1: we don't consider the like really the humanity past all
Speaker 1: of it, you know that we're just seeing like in
Speaker 1: this sort of service context, and yeah, man, shout out
Speaker 1: to everybody who's in any kind of service oriented role
Speaker 1: at the moment, because it's fucking bad. And just like
Speaker 1: we've seen on airplanes, people are using y'all to just
Speaker 1: be the lightning rod for their own stress and ship
Speaker 1: and taking it out on you know, and that's super
Speaker 1: fucked up. And yeah, I didn't. I didn't last I
Speaker 1: didn't last long in retail. That's I couldn't flash on
Speaker 1: people too quick I was. I was just like stressed out, man,
Speaker 1: yell at me because I didn't. We're out of a
Speaker 1: handbag on the coach store the fu I don't have
Speaker 1: the ergo bag right now. I had a guy called
Speaker 1: me a stupid bitch because I couldn't guess what movie
Speaker 1: he was trying to think of, which is a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. And when I told him, like, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna get my manager for you, sir, just this hold on, please,
Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, go cry to your mommy.
Speaker 1: And I was like, it's wait, this is when you
Speaker 1: were like working at the ticket booth or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was working at a mc um so I was
Speaker 1: working at someone's like, hey, what movie am I thinking of?
Speaker 1: This movie? It's it's coming out this week? How could
Speaker 1: you not know? Like, so there, I'm a film student
Speaker 1: and there's I'm looking also looking at a screen of
Speaker 1: available tickets, and there are no fighting movies currently available
Speaker 1: for your purchase tickets for so I'm just at your
Speaker 1: what he's like everyone's talking about it. It's like so excited. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe you should remember the name of the dog, like
Speaker 1: what I need to see a doctor, bro. Your memory
Speaker 1: might be because you're not working, right, What is it? What?
Speaker 1: What's my name? Where am I? Yeah? I knew I
Speaker 1: wasn't fit for that world when I was like eighteen.
Speaker 1: I was like seventeen actually, and I was an assistant
Speaker 1: manager of a playland uh in San Jose, California, and
Speaker 1: I was in charge of kid's birthday parties, which is
Speaker 1: probably the worst job he could have put. When I
Speaker 1: worked at a later tag place, right and you have
Speaker 1: those little pizza rooms? Was that people? And I just
Speaker 1: had like oh yeah, like just like the countiest mother
Speaker 1: just trying to like overdo it with me. And I
Speaker 1: was like, lady, you chose play land. You don't love
Speaker 1: him that much? Like this is this is what you do?
Speaker 1: Like this cake was not baked here, okay, like it
Speaker 1: I don't know, but like long story showed like she
Speaker 1: sent like the husband over to come give me a
Speaker 1: talking too, and I remember telling him, you're not my dad,
Speaker 1: I'm seventeen. Frankly, I don't give a fuck. And then
Speaker 1: when I came back, I accidentally spilled cake onto him,
Speaker 1: and uh yeah. I ended up like retiring or not retiring,
Speaker 1: resigning a week later because my my manager was like,
Speaker 1: did you tell someone that you don't give a funk?
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, I did. I did it well.
Speaker 1: I wasn't lying. Did you want me to lie to
Speaker 1: the customer? Don't to the customers like did you break
Speaker 1: a cake or did you like you like, dropped a cake?
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, I was just bumbled that
Speaker 1: happened to that asshole. Yeah, And I was like, maybe
Speaker 1: I shouldn't work here. I don't think I have what
Speaker 1: it takes to diffuse this problem because don't give a
Speaker 1: don't care. We'll shout out to everybody who has to
Speaker 1: clock in and and face the fucking ugliness of the
Speaker 1: world in their own way, because we all do on
Speaker 1: some level, so, but particularly to those who have to
Speaker 1: fucking have keep their composure in the face of screaming.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break and pay some bills
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back after this, and we're back.
Speaker 1: Sturgis the bike rally. Everyone loves it. It's like if
Speaker 1: you're biking and you want to yeah, look, this is
Speaker 1: me just this is me just doing my version of
Speaker 1: what the Governor Christie Nome would say in South Dakota.
Speaker 1: It's a great opportunity for all lovers of the open
Speaker 1: road to converge on our state. Last year, the Sturges
Speaker 1: bike Rally took place in the middle of the pandemic,
Speaker 1: and you know the funny thing is, we saw something
Speaker 1: happen there. It seemed like that was a bit of
Speaker 1: a super spread er event. I mean, there's definitely different
Speaker 1: takes on how just how many people were infected. The
Speaker 1: conservative numbers are like seven hundred ish and then up
Speaker 1: upwards of maybe in the tens of thousands, if depending
Speaker 1: on what you look at it. One German sort of
Speaker 1: economic think tank and analyzed like what the spike of
Speaker 1: infections after Surges did, and they said it cost about
Speaker 1: twelve billion dollars in healthcare costs. So when you look
Speaker 1: at this year we're looking at something that is going
Speaker 1: on that they project will be possibly seven hundred fifty
Speaker 1: thousand attendees this year, so many people. Yeah. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: the other part of it is when you look at it,
Speaker 1: I mean, the culture that you see with a lot
Speaker 1: of bikers tends to be on the anti vax side.
Speaker 1: So a lot of health experts are like, the delta variant,
Speaker 1: you know, it's really can is even more contagious than
Speaker 1: the one last year. Plus you have a lot of
Speaker 1: unvaccinative So a lot of people are praising themselves. Some
Speaker 1: like local like nurses are like it's all good, Like
Speaker 1: we'll deal with it whatever has to happen. Because it
Speaker 1: seems like residents of sturges are sort of like, we
Speaker 1: like it because it's like an annual tradition. It brings
Speaker 1: money into the town, and for that we like it,
Speaker 1: while there are others who are like, it's like the
Speaker 1: bane of my existence, and also like like all kinds
Speaker 1: of reckless stuff happens. You know, last year only four
Speaker 1: people died. Normally about ten people, like around ten people
Speaker 1: will die at sturges from like various accidents like on
Speaker 1: motorcycles and things like that, or just other accident related injuries.
Speaker 1: And not only that, Like this year, dude, these people
Speaker 1: came to party because the the drug bus Yo, they
Speaker 1: caught these people with seventy two pounds of meth and
Speaker 1: pounds of co caine, six pounds of heron six thousand
Speaker 1: counterfeit fednel pills, and like a bunch of cash and
Speaker 1: guns thirteen guns. This was on one bus, like right
Speaker 1: before the whole thing kicked off. That's wild. Like I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised by the amount of pounds of amy
Speaker 1: and like that that tracks, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like seven hundred and fifty thousand people seventy two pounds
Speaker 1: of metamy whatever. If I was good at math, I
Speaker 1: could break that down. Whatever. That's like you know, seven
Speaker 1: grams seven ounces per person or something like that. Like
Speaker 1: you know what you need for a weekend, you know everyone?
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, I need a little bit more
Speaker 1: than I mean. My friends came for Hollywood and I
Speaker 1: was like, bring weed, and then bring more weat, and
Speaker 1: then bring more wet and they only brought more weed
Speaker 1: and they ran out, and I was like, I told
Speaker 1: you you know what I mean. You know, so I
Speaker 1: give them, you know, a pound for realizing that they
Speaker 1: needed seventy two pounds but right, and heroin and cocaine
Speaker 1: and Ventinille didn't even give you weed numbers. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean who cares about weed? Like we got yeah, oh
Speaker 1: my god. And you know it just sort of like really,
Speaker 1: when you look at all this stuff, like it really
Speaker 1: makes all the like reopening fanfare that occurred like in
Speaker 1: June feel real fucking dumb now, Like we were really
Speaker 1: on that ship. You know, all the cities were like,
Speaker 1: you know, like was like New York is back baby
Speaker 1: mandating vaccines and wearing masks indoors because the delta variant
Speaker 1: is just spreading too quickly l a very much. People
Speaker 1: were like, let's go and then suddenly, like most people
Speaker 1: are like, oh no, actually bad because when you look
Speaker 1: at you know, transmission rates being low, but vaccination rates
Speaker 1: even low. My empathy alarment is going off. I think
Speaker 1: I mentioned a couple of weeks ago on this show
Speaker 1: how like my ideally I would be empathetic in all situations. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not the I'm not an evolved person,
Speaker 1: but ideally I want to be. And if I'm trying
Speaker 1: really hard to step into the ideology of just constantly
Speaker 1: leading with empathy. Then I understand missing traditions, right, those
Speaker 1: things you do annually. I love the Toronto International Film Festival.
Speaker 1: All my gals are up there. It is fun. Toronto
Speaker 1: is a bomb mass city. I would give anything to
Speaker 1: go there. I want to go to New York New
Speaker 1: York levels of money. Now I can like actually spend
Speaker 1: like people. Right, I can go to people got New
Speaker 1: York money, But can you stay in New York? Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm a cousin from out of town. Show me a
Speaker 1: good time. I'm ready, So I get I get it,
Speaker 1: being like, no, man, this was this was supposed to
Speaker 1: be our summer. We stayed inside. I mean probably not
Speaker 1: all the people attending this, but like some portion, some
Speaker 1: percentage of these people did stay inside all year. We're good, Okay,
Speaker 1: some of them got intact that I just want to
Speaker 1: see my friends. God damn it. Uh, it's so hot.
Speaker 1: I want to be outside. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: it's I don't understand officials who could just be like
Speaker 1: shoulder shrug. I can't. I can't do anything about it.
Speaker 1: I just don't understand how like they must be able
Speaker 1: to do it as these deaths are not my responsibility.
Speaker 1: And I can't I can't that. I can't, I can't
Speaker 1: understand that. Oh, I mean that's exactly Christie Nome. I mean,
Speaker 1: she's her own grandmother passed away and uh like a
Speaker 1: convalescent home and like it was real murky because there
Speaker 1: was a COVID outbreak there but they never really said
Speaker 1: what happened and she acted like nothing, it was all
Speaker 1: good grandmother. Okay, Well she's just not shipped person because
Speaker 1: I'll go to warfare my grandma. What. Yeah, And it's
Speaker 1: so yeah, it's alarming. And yeah. The one thing that
Speaker 1: a lot of the people locals say is like, look,
Speaker 1: this is gonna happen either way, Like so whether you
Speaker 1: cancel it, these people are gonna come and they're just
Speaker 1: figure some ship out on their own. The fact is,
Speaker 1: if it's not officially held, then there's a lot of
Speaker 1: local resources that aren't there in case when if and
Speaker 1: when someone injures themselves, that means less e m s.
Speaker 1: That means less any kind of care that might be
Speaker 1: needed or whatever in an official capacity. So it's a
Speaker 1: really fucked up situation. And I mean even look at
Speaker 1: like when the Milwaukee Bucks when the NBA Finals, they
Speaker 1: were wilding out and like you know, all together watching
Speaker 1: the games. That led to about five hundred infections. And
Speaker 1: I'm sure there was a decent amount of people who
Speaker 1: were vaccinated in those crowds too, but we're talking about
Speaker 1: possibly seven hundred fifty thou people and it's it just
Speaker 1: kicked off over the weekend, So we shall see. But
Speaker 1: that's the kind of things that are going. But listen,
Speaker 1: I mean, these people have been inside unable to wear
Speaker 1: leather clothing in public, you know what I mean, like
Speaker 1: wearing a leather vest with fringe with no shirt and
Speaker 1: like it was like just like exaggerated old twenty year
Speaker 1: old maple piercing just like doesn't hit the same. Like,
Speaker 1: you need to be able to get on that bike,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You need to be able
Speaker 1: to fill that fringe hit the rest of your back,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You need to get that
Speaker 1: bear just like that. You gotta get flies and stuff
Speaker 1: in there, Like you can't get flies in your beer
Speaker 1: just hanging out of the ground. You know, there are
Speaker 1: grossing enough. Yeah, well, I mean not the same as
Speaker 1: the open road though hit the same. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: definitely speaking of governors and what they can do or
Speaker 1: can't do. I want to quickly just touch on the
Speaker 1: California governor recall. Gavin Newsom. He is sweating right now
Speaker 1: because the polls are in and my darlin, uh, it
Speaker 1: looks like more people are interested in having you not
Speaker 1: be governor than people who want to keep you in
Speaker 1: office by about six points. Now, look, a lot can
Speaker 1: be said, what like what Gavin Newsom has done and
Speaker 1: like some of the better things that have happened during
Speaker 1: the pandemic. But I think progressives would also like a
Speaker 1: lot more from Gavin Newsom just in general. I think
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a lot of work that can
Speaker 1: be done. So right now, there's said to be a
Speaker 1: recall ellection in September. Okay, Like we're very close to
Speaker 1: this recall ellection happening. And the way the ballot works
Speaker 1: is first the first question just like, hey, you think
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom should be recalled? Yes or no? And if
Speaker 1: that first question reaches over fifty saying yes he should
Speaker 1: be removed, then they go to the second part of
Speaker 1: the ballot where people have to shooes from forty six
Speaker 1: candidates and said, okay, if not him then who and
Speaker 1: no matter what, the second that thing goes over, whoever
Speaker 1: has the most votes out of those forty six candidates,
Speaker 1: that's who the fucking governors? How how does this like
Speaker 1: what like, yeah, this is Seneger became governor? Is democracy? Huh?
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly? This is that big d energy, big democracy energy.
Speaker 1: And so if you just look, this is where he
Speaker 1: gets interesting, right because if he is recalled, these candidates
Speaker 1: like these are people like who are running Caitlin Jenner,
Speaker 1: conservative radio host Larry Elder or even this dude, John
Speaker 1: Cox who lost to Gavin Newsom in the first election.
Speaker 1: He this dude went he did a publicity stunt where
Speaker 1: he toured the state with a fucking one thousand pound
Speaker 1: CoDIAK bear just for why, just because California, you know,
Speaker 1: are behind me and we have a mascot. People like mascots.
Speaker 1: M I feel like this is a logic of a team,
Speaker 1: you know, it's symbol of the states. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about it, especially animal rights activists who are like, what
Speaker 1: the funk are you doing? And we don't like them
Speaker 1: and our people don't like them. So I mean, did
Speaker 1: they have a little hat, did they do a dance?
Speaker 1: Because I do like a dancing there now there chained
Speaker 1: up on a very short chain and it was sad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everyone was like this is fucked up, Like I don't
Speaker 1: know what this supposed to be, but the stunt worked
Speaker 1: or you know, if you go down the list, I
Speaker 1: mean there's more fucking YouTubers and ship this isn't this
Speaker 1: could be fucking bad. I mean, whether or not you
Speaker 1: like Gavin Newsom is one thing, but I just this,
Speaker 1: these are the steaks, right because regardless of your stance
Speaker 1: on Gavin Newsom, let's let's just let's just play out
Speaker 1: what happens. A Republican wins, and let's say it's Caitlyn Jenner, okay,
Speaker 1: and we have Governor Caitlyn Jenner making history. For example, Now,
Speaker 1: Democrats have a veto proof majority in the state legislature,
Speaker 1: so there's not much that the governor can do, like
Speaker 1: to funk around with legislative stuff. However, the governor can
Speaker 1: absolutely do stuff like, you know, take out department heads
Speaker 1: or other executive appointees to essentially skull fuck pro programs
Speaker 1: that he doesn't like much in the same way Trump did.
Speaker 1: Its like, well I don't like this, so I'll put
Speaker 1: a fucking dummy in there and just let them funk
Speaker 1: the whole thing up and it will implode and even freakier. Right,
Speaker 1: Let's not forget if there were ever to be a
Speaker 1: congress person or a Senator Diane Feinstein who may retire,
Speaker 1: become ill, and no longer be able to carry out
Speaker 1: the you know, the duties of the office. The governor
Speaker 1: is the person who picks the fucking replacement, So that
Speaker 1: could be a could be some interesting congressional math going down.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a bit of a like damned if
Speaker 1: you do, damned if you don't situation. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is the kind of the problems I have with sort
Speaker 1: of like official government, right, because there's fearmongering, right, and
Speaker 1: then people get all worked up, Oh I hate this,
Speaker 1: I hate this. Guy shouldn't be here. I should be here.
Speaker 1: But like the follow through of that thought like cool,
Speaker 1: you don't like it, you but have a solid backup plan,
Speaker 1: Like you can't just start like pushing to change something
Speaker 1: without really understanding what the fallout is gonna be. Like
Speaker 1: how can people get so worked up? And like the
Speaker 1: media just gets you so worked up on the fact
Speaker 1: that like Gavin's not doing a shot. It's not doing
Speaker 1: this shot. It's not doing you's gotta get about it.
Speaker 1: You've gotta get about here. I'm even with Trump. It
Speaker 1: was the same problem. Not that I want either of these,
Speaker 1: you know, I have a stance on it, but it's like,
Speaker 1: know where you're going, make make understand the fallout of
Speaker 1: what you're doing here, Like you can't just complain. It's
Speaker 1: like going to the movies. I want to go to
Speaker 1: the movies, but then what you get at Joel because
Speaker 1: you can't figure out the movie you want to watch
Speaker 1: it all. That's basically what's happening. Like you know that
Speaker 1: movie you know, you know that governor, you know that
Speaker 1: one that does everything right, that's perfect in its galaxy.
Speaker 1: I want back by Do you know who he is?
Speaker 1: Do you know who he is? Do you know where
Speaker 1: she is? Do you know where they are? Like I
Speaker 1: feel like that it's not necessarily media's job to point
Speaker 1: us in the right direction for you. Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no highlight folks. But I'm the Democratic Party would be like,
Speaker 1: all right, here's the like these we have to go
Speaker 1: back and waits. But just the basics of it is this,
Speaker 1: we should not have a two party system, and the
Speaker 1: fact that we do in neither party is in a
Speaker 1: position to adequately like support its base is bonkers to
Speaker 1: me because they can't support their base. The wealthy people.
Speaker 1: For both sides, they're doing fucking great. I mean the
Speaker 1: people people, the actual the actual people people just trying
Speaker 1: to make a da when those people used to matter,
Speaker 1: or at least in rhetoric, if they matter, Yes, we
Speaker 1: don't vote, so they don't give a funk about us. Well,
Speaker 1: this is what and this is what stands to happen
Speaker 1: because in these elections, people like the people who have
Speaker 1: the momentum are all of these angry Republicans who are
Speaker 1: held bent on getting some kind of electoral vengeance this
Speaker 1: go around, they are fired the funk up. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a little bit different though this
Speaker 1: time too, because when Gray Davis was recalled and Arnold
Speaker 1: Schwarzenegger was elected, there was another prominent Democrat running like
Speaker 1: like as a possible option, So that did kind of
Speaker 1: split sort of the votes whether or not to recall,
Speaker 1: because I think it was Cruiz Boostamant, someone who was
Speaker 1: running at the time. And so this is a little
Speaker 1: bit different since it's only report like but it's pretty
Speaker 1: much like there's no prominent Democrats that would potentially take
Speaker 1: any of Newsom's thunder. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: I mean it's yeah, like to your point, it's so
Speaker 1: empty or short sighted where it just like I don't
Speaker 1: like that I have to wear masks because like, so
Speaker 1: have you thought about what you want and also how
Speaker 1: that's all gonna work? Are you just elevent on saying
Speaker 1: I don't like masks? That thinking that has there's so
Speaker 1: much other ship that goes down that way. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: what the funk happened to my uh? Like medicaid is
Speaker 1: the medical Well the reason, well, you voted for that
Speaker 1: recall and they put somebody in who's all magged out
Speaker 1: and they don't want any kind of public benefits for people,
Speaker 1: So did you think about that? Part two? So it's
Speaker 1: very frustrating, But anyway, keep your eye on that, especially
Speaker 1: California voters. Moving on, just to talk with the GOP
Speaker 1: checking in really quick. We talked a little bit about
Speaker 1: how Representatives Norman Major League, Tainted, Gang Green and Thomas
Speaker 1: Massey were suing Nancy Pelosi because they were they were
Speaker 1: like they were getting fines for not wearing masks on
Speaker 1: the house floor because ups like, there's a thing called
Speaker 1: the delta variant and none of y'all are most there's
Speaker 1: many unvaccinated people in here. They had appealed these fines,
Speaker 1: they ultimately lost. So they were suing Pelosi to be like,
Speaker 1: this is a statement of my First Amendment rights and
Speaker 1: also it's my body and my choice. I have body autonomy,
Speaker 1: and you're like, fuck ODDI here, y'all, what are you saying? Well,
Speaker 1: so we do know what my bodye mean in this instant,
Speaker 1: this instance uh popular graze in order and then like
Speaker 1: not also not acknowledge the truth of it in a
Speaker 1: in a broader scope like that is wild. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: they're gonna switch my body, my choice to your body,
Speaker 1: your fucking problem. Pretty soon. We just found out that
Speaker 1: Representative Norman has contracted a breakthrough case of COVID and
Speaker 1: wouldn't you believe it? He's like, well, luckily I'm vaccinated,
Speaker 1: so the symptoms are mild. You're like, what the widdle?
Speaker 1: You're teamed up with MTG who is so ANTIQ what
Speaker 1: are anyway? That's where they're at, and I think this
Speaker 1: is just a lot of the the weird ship that's
Speaker 1: going around with COVID, like especially Joe, while you're saying
Speaker 1: in Texas schools too, it's very bizarro over there. T
Speaker 1: which is the Texas Education Agency, just released uh last night,
Speaker 1: it's new COVID guidelines for schools here we go. Schools
Speaker 1: don't have to inform parents of a positive case. Schools
Speaker 1: don't have to conduct contact tracing, and if they do
Speaker 1: do it, parents can still choose to send their children
Speaker 1: to school even if they are in close contact with
Speaker 1: an infected per sin. So basically we are not have
Speaker 1: no intention or drive to stop the spread amongst children,
Speaker 1: many of whom cannot be vaccinated and or are immuno compromised. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the children literally die from this. What the fuck? I
Speaker 1: don't would do they are? They do? They think they're
Speaker 1: like fully shielded from like any like legal liability or
Speaker 1: because you know, this is the thing you you we
Speaker 1: would hate to see if someone loses their child because
Speaker 1: of these kinds of reckless fucking policies, and then what
Speaker 1: is that parent left to do? You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: what is their recourse? Two? I have recourse? Having in
Speaker 1: a wild word you use right, because like you can't
Speaker 1: read like what do your child is gone? Yeah, right
Speaker 1: right right, Like you can't do anything. You know, what
Speaker 1: can you respond to it? Yeah? Where can you find
Speaker 1: any sort of sense of being made? I mean, you'll
Speaker 1: never be made hold losing a child, But how can
Speaker 1: you approach something that feels like restitution or whatever, because
Speaker 1: clearly these guidelines are It's like it's just so weird
Speaker 1: to like articulate those points on paper like that, because
Speaker 1: they might as well just say, look, we don't give
Speaker 1: a funk, bro, Yeah, whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen.
Speaker 1: That's on y'all to fucking send your kids to these schools,
Speaker 1: because we're telling you this is on y'all. We aren't
Speaker 1: going to do a fucking thing to help with this.
Speaker 1: Well it it goes back to what we were talking
Speaker 1: about earlier, just about people not having jobs, Like this
Speaker 1: is also like very much designed to impact people who
Speaker 1: are not doing well. Some people do not have the
Speaker 1: option of not sending their children to school because they
Speaker 1: can't afford to stay home, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like we've had a whole year where people have been
Speaker 1: saying home, people need to go out and make money,
Speaker 1: people need to go get that fourteen dollars an hour,
Speaker 1: and people are throwing them, you know, into doing it,
Speaker 1: and now it's like so great. So now we're gonna
Speaker 1: have all these lower income people that don't have the resources,
Speaker 1: that don't have an option to take care of their
Speaker 1: kids out into an alternate situation and they have to.
Speaker 1: And then imagine being that person. I have to go
Speaker 1: to this job, I am risking my life, and now
Speaker 1: I have to send my child to risk their life
Speaker 1: and then hopefully nobody comes home when nobody dies right
Speaker 1: exactly or or you or you say, oh fuck it,
Speaker 1: I can't I can't afford to have my kids get sick,
Speaker 1: and I also can't afford to put them somewhere else.
Speaker 1: You say, y'all aren't going to school because I just
Speaker 1: want to happen. And then you have you know, CPS
Speaker 1: or something coming through because they're saying you're being negligent
Speaker 1: and not putting your kid in school, or they're truant
Speaker 1: or something. It's yeah, you can totally see that all
Speaker 1: the angles in which they're trying to squeeze people to
Speaker 1: completely get through the most horrific pandemic we've seen in
Speaker 1: our in our lifetimes or our small lifetimes and not
Speaker 1: do anything to create more of a public benefit for people,
Speaker 1: Like that's the they're like, fun, man, if we can
Speaker 1: get through this pandemic and not give people more fucking
Speaker 1: insurance and not give people more like a real living ways,
Speaker 1: We've done it, y'all, We've done And that's how a
Speaker 1: lot of these greeding motherfucker's are thinking. And that's what
Speaker 1: they want because the last thing they want is to
Speaker 1: be like, funk man, would we gonna cancel rent? Yes,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to, because there's a millions of people
Speaker 1: who were not even the ideating. I mean, there are
Speaker 1: definitely people in the legisla are in Congress that are
Speaker 1: trying to but for the most part, it's not a
Speaker 1: big ticket item for the fucking president who can just
Speaker 1: indiscriminately start wars and ship but can't figure out how
Speaker 1: to cancel people's rent. Yeah, yes, it's so. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: the cruelty of the world, especially this country, comes into
Speaker 1: bigger focus. Okay, just in some slightly lighter news, even
Speaker 1: though it's still about the January six insurrection. Um, I
Speaker 1: want to talk about Moe Brooks, who is that representative
Speaker 1: who was screaming at the Capitol rally before the insurrection,
Speaker 1: and he was saying like it's time to kick cash
Speaker 1: and take names and then talking about people like making
Speaker 1: the ultimate sacrifice and ship like whoa easy easy, and
Speaker 1: he's like, oh you guys ready. Also he had a
Speaker 1: body armor on when he was giving that speech. Side note, well,
Speaker 1: he got sued by fellow Congressman Erik Swalwell and had
Speaker 1: been ducking the process servers. We talked about this and
Speaker 1: like was just really trying to be like no, can't
Speaker 1: get me, can't get me, can't get me. He finally
Speaker 1: got served and now he's in court because he also
Speaker 1: failed to prove that the Department of Justice should represent
Speaker 1: him in the case, because he was saying like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm a congress person and that's in my official duties
Speaker 1: as a congress person. If there's like a torch suit
Speaker 1: going on for like some kind of personal injury, like
Speaker 1: then the d o J has to represent me. Typically
Speaker 1: that is true. However, his defense because he said I
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to get people all, you know, turned up
Speaker 1: to go storm the capital. I was talking about the
Speaker 1: mid term elections and the next presidential in that technically
Speaker 1: made it campaigning, which completely takes away his idea that
Speaker 1: j could represent them, so he could have pressed it more.
Speaker 1: A lot of people, a lot of legal people, are
Speaker 1: saying like he might have been able to press it
Speaker 1: more and actually figured out a way to do it,
Speaker 1: but he just went and said, fine, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: it my own. So he's his own fucking lawyer right now.
Speaker 1: Which I just want to say, Well, no, ever in
Speaker 1: the history of anybody who is wanting to represent themselves,
Speaker 1: it's never. It's not like never. I mean, I'm sure
Speaker 1: maybe it's worked out somewhere, but we've never heard in
Speaker 1: a movie. In a movie, never happens, not in real life.
Speaker 1: First of all, Brooks hasn't practiced law in many years,
Speaker 1: and he's rushed as ship because you can tell by
Speaker 1: the stuff that he's finally in court. He doesn't know
Speaker 1: what court is or how federal courts work. First of all,
Speaker 1: he's like, I want to throw out all the lies
Speaker 1: that the plaintiff is trying to accuse me of of
Speaker 1: of any kind of wrongdoing. They're all lies. I would
Speaker 1: like them struck from the right. They're like, huh, that's
Speaker 1: not a motion you could Okay, he still tried to
Speaker 1: file it. Then he submitted this list of basically saying
Speaker 1: like since all Eric Swallow saying lies, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to tell you some truths about me. Number one and
Speaker 1: this is written in you know as as legally so
Speaker 1: it's in the third person. One Brooks is sixties seven
Speaker 1: years okay to Brooks has never smoked tobacco. Brooks does
Speaker 1: not consume alcohol. Brooks has never experimented with or taking
Speaker 1: illegal drugs. Three Brooks has never been arrested for or
Speaker 1: convicted of any felonies or misdemeanors. For Brooks has never
Speaker 1: had a money judgment rendered against him in any civil
Speaker 1: quarter or anything he said for anything. Similarly, Brooks has
Speaker 1: never settled any litigation against him by payment of any
Speaker 1: funds to any plaintiff. Five Brooks has never had a
Speaker 1: d UI or directless driving ticket or even this beating ticket.
Speaker 1: Six Brooks has never had a motor vehicle wreck in
Speaker 1: which anyone claimed Brooks was at fault. Seven This is
Speaker 1: the best one. Brooks has been married forty five years.
Speaker 1: Brooks has always been faithful to his wife. Together, they
Speaker 1: have raised four children, all of whom are married, none
Speaker 1: of whom have been divorced, all of whom are law abiding,
Speaker 1: none of whom have ever been arrested for anything, all
Speaker 1: of whom have college degrees and jobs. Brooks and children
Speaker 1: have blessed him with ten grandchildren, with two twins and
Speaker 1: another granddaughter on the way, I'd arrested my case. You're
Speaker 1: on earth. Brooks is not only you know, boring. Yeah, clearly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Brooks don't know how to have no fun, right, But
Speaker 1: he also is nonsensical. Why would you need to denote
Speaker 1: that you never gotten to d u I if you
Speaker 1: don't drink or have never tried illegal substances. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what, you want to make the list. You want
Speaker 1: to make that list hit you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: You want to list as many ways that your your
Speaker 1: ships clean my wife, and that's it. I feel like
Speaker 1: you didn't even like from a writing standpoint, you didn't
Speaker 1: even listen those things in order of like, oh wow,
Speaker 1: like great guy, you know what I mean. You're all
Speaker 1: over the place, Brooks getting together. Yeah, sorry, Brooks. It's
Speaker 1: just it's a very weird defense, like and it reads
Speaker 1: smacks of someone who has not actually figured or understands
Speaker 1: like the weight of the accusation how to actually properly
Speaker 1: defend against that. If you're just being like when I'm
Speaker 1: boring and never did anything bad, why would I start?
Speaker 1: Now what? Why would you not hire a lawyer? Because
Speaker 1: they're fucking expensive and if Donald Trump is not going
Speaker 1: to help you, then I don't know. And also they should.
Speaker 1: Brooks also doesn't have a lot of money to hire
Speaker 1: a lawyer. Brooks does not enjoy catch its. Brooks such
Speaker 1: a weird like, Brooks stinks Fresco is an abomination. Brooks
Speaker 1: sinks sort is the superior grape fruit soda, Like what
Speaker 1: the everything for the Yankees books that's never ingested? Newt
Speaker 1: for sweet O. Brooks doesn't care who has the best
Speaker 1: fried chicken sandwich because he prefers cheese burgers. Brooks is
Speaker 1: an all American, like unless just Chick fil A, because
Speaker 1: Brooks believes Chick fil A's defending the Christian rights identity.
Speaker 1: Like okay, thank you, Brooks. They're going to convince you now, yeah, yeah, alright, exactly,
Speaker 1: all right, Let's uh, let's go pay some bills real quick.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after this, and we're back. Let's
Speaker 1: touch on LaVar Burton. A lot of people thought he
Speaker 1: was supposed to be the A lot of people wanted
Speaker 1: him to be the Jeopardy host, myself included, and I
Speaker 1: will say since Alex Trebeck's passing, there was a lot
Speaker 1: of diverse hosts that were sort of paraded in front
Speaker 1: of the audience. You're like, look like we're trying all
Speaker 1: kinds of like men, women, people of color, Like we're
Speaker 1: trying everything. Yeah, exactly. Ken Jennings did great. So a
Speaker 1: lot of people saw like, you know, LaVar burn Like
Speaker 1: LaVar Burns, he's nailed on. This guy is taught us
Speaker 1: to love books and ship, taught us what you know
Speaker 1: that the power of wearing cool like unigoggles as Jordie LaForge,
Speaker 1: I mean, we know what's up. But it turns out
Speaker 1: after all this, we find out that Mike Richards, who's
Speaker 1: one of the show's executive producers, is the one now
Speaker 1: in advanced talks with the show to be the new host. Okay,
Speaker 1: so let's dive into why this is god awful decision
Speaker 1: making one LaVar and smile as radiant, like his energy,
Speaker 1: positive and glowing. You want to learn from him, and
Speaker 1: he would make him like in the way that Alex
Speaker 1: made everyone feel welcomed and okay if even if you lost,
Speaker 1: that's the same spiritual energy right made you feel welcome
Speaker 1: if you were illiterate here, he didn't care because he
Speaker 1: loves you and he love knowledge and he wanted to
Speaker 1: those things together. That is a beautiful person who deserves you.
Speaker 1: But we can also have Ken Jennings is the most
Speaker 1: winning ist Jeopardy person ever, and it would have made sense. Instead,
Speaker 1: they brought in a producer who hasn't even been there
Speaker 1: for a year. And on top of that, like, it's
Speaker 1: not a legacy. It's not like, oh man, he's been
Speaker 1: with Alex Radbeck in the dirt. This guy understands the show.
Speaker 1: Everyone loves him, Like there's a lot that could be
Speaker 1: said about in an executives coming from behind to lead.
Speaker 1: I get that, and I wouldn't have had a problem
Speaker 1: with it except for the fact he's only been there
Speaker 1: for a year and multiple multiple people have claimed that
Speaker 1: he's been discriminatory at work, mostly to women, many of
Speaker 1: whom were pregnant. He four worked on the prices right
Speaker 1: and would just kick models off and they got pregnant.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's unemployed future mothers. Horrible combination of things.
Speaker 1: It's like Donald Trump. Yes, here's some things. So. Coutrane,
Speaker 1: who's one of the models, alleged that she put off
Speaker 1: trying to have a baby because she had witnessed producers
Speaker 1: harassing to fellow models who had become pregnant. While making
Speaker 1: the show. Richards, the producer, decided that models skirts should
Speaker 1: be shorter and said that he like models to look
Speaker 1: as if they were going out on a date, and
Speaker 1: at his suggestion, models were but Teni's on the show
Speaker 1: more frequently. One time, he burst into a model's dressing
Speaker 1: room despite their being a please not sign hanging on
Speaker 1: the door. She's half naked, and began berating her about
Speaker 1: like just literally nothing. It's just it's crazy too. There's
Speaker 1: like I think there are four full suits against him
Speaker 1: about these kinds of Is this the kind of person
Speaker 1: we want on Jeopardy? My grandma's friends time with Jeopardy
Speaker 1: every day. I don't want her subjects to this white man.
Speaker 1: Get him out of here, goodbye. He hosted Beauty in
Speaker 1: the Geek in two thousand five. Let's not let's not
Speaker 1: forget that. What was the appeal here? I really want,
Speaker 1: I really have to ask, like what was the appeal?
Speaker 1: Like as somebody who hires and looks at hosts all
Speaker 1: the time as somebody who's constantly who works with a
Speaker 1: ton of different types of hosts. Who were you appealing to?
Speaker 1: You are Jeopardy genre? Didn't they not check social media
Speaker 1: and see who was trending and what was going We
Speaker 1: don't have the Nielsen reports yet for LeVar Burton's shows,
Speaker 1: but listen when that happens, it's gonna be great. And
Speaker 1: I really hope that the numbers proved that they need
Speaker 1: to move in a different direction. Uh. Salon TV critic
Speaker 1: Melanie McFarland did a great twitter said about this the
Speaker 1: other day, since Richards selection represents a smooth transition strategy
Speaker 1: and which the show's calm and comforty familiarity isn't entirely upended.
Speaker 1: In other words, white folks who watched Jeopardy are gonna
Speaker 1: be comforted by this new white man. Rich is what's
Speaker 1: the rich was selected despite the many cases made for
Speaker 1: Jeopardy to display some commitment to diversity by selecting a
Speaker 1: woman or a person of color, because the job was
Speaker 1: always his. In other words, they did what every corporation does, like,
Speaker 1: here's a bunch of brown faces. Great enough, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: gave it to you. Why are you complaining. We'll bring
Speaker 1: them back to guest host, but we're not gonna give
Speaker 1: them that sweet scheddar to run the damn thing. It's insulting.
Speaker 1: It's a problem, and I hope Jeopardy fixes it because
Speaker 1: this is it's demoralizing. Boom. I'm now officially outrage. You
Speaker 1: just got me like super fired up, Like I'm ready
Speaker 1: to start a letter writing campaign, Like i didn't really
Speaker 1: have feelings on this, but now I've worked the fuck up.
Speaker 1: You know about these lawsuits when when you're putting women
Speaker 1: contestants in Jeopardy, that was what happened a lot unfortunate
Speaker 1: mon bonus. Yeah, like yeah, it's And the other part
Speaker 1: is just how cynical it is to to your point
Speaker 1: that NW they had him waiting on this, they said,
Speaker 1: don't worry, we got don't just let's just get through
Speaker 1: this real quick. And the diversity ship is just like
Speaker 1: I'm kind of over it, Like just don't don't be
Speaker 1: gay for the month, right, like don't like how many
Speaker 1: operations going on that, like, don't be like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: Black History Month, it's Black Music month, it's Asian and
Speaker 1: Pacific Allender month. It's oh it's Latin month, Like, do
Speaker 1: not give me an ethnic rainbow for a month? Like,
Speaker 1: just commit into letting somebody do a good job. Maybe
Speaker 1: you know who's at home during the day. I don't
Speaker 1: know cleaning staff, who's cleaning staff? People are colored? Do
Speaker 1: you think one they want to see a white man? Know,
Speaker 1: they want to see my bar Burton? Maybe those re
Speaker 1: runs also like they're old, Like, look the audience that's
Speaker 1: going to be shocked by they'll probably just die right
Speaker 1: when they see LaVar anyway, so don't worry about They're
Speaker 1: not gonna complain after that. And then good that you've
Speaker 1: you've called the audience, You've called the week from the audience,
Speaker 1: and now you can move on for the youthful people
Speaker 1: to say, oh this is tight, LaVar Burton is hosting Jeopardy,
Speaker 1: I love this or just sucking anyone except for this.
Speaker 1: It's just again the idea that they knew was Mike
Speaker 1: Richards the whole time is the thing that's really fucking upsetting.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about something it's not upsetting, please can we?
Speaker 1: And that's Dolly Parton. Why is she? I mean somebody
Speaker 1: checked her feet because she might have clothing hoofs like
Speaker 1: a goat because she's the bag goat. Okay with the
Speaker 1: greatest of all time, and she's not quite I just
Speaker 1: want to bring this up. Okay, So Lyddy, I was
Speaker 1: sitting on this story because anytime let's see some Dolly pardoners. Okay,
Speaker 1: Lyddy's come, Okay, let's talk about this. I will say
Speaker 1: that this is all having to do with the story
Speaker 1: about Whitney Houston's performance of I Will Always Love You.
Speaker 1: It's probably the most iconic songs of the nineties for
Speaker 1: a lot of young people. They think it's actually a
Speaker 1: Whitney song, but it's actually gotten by Dolly back in
Speaker 1: and because of that, Dolly Pardon made around ten million
Speaker 1: dollars from that, just off the strength of writing that
Speaker 1: song and the and and then just where Whitney took it.
Speaker 1: Here's the great thing, though, she was like, She's like,
Speaker 1: what do I do with all this money? I just
Speaker 1: got very passively. I mean I wrote the song and
Speaker 1: Whitney made it a hit, or what what shall I
Speaker 1: do with it? She invested in a black neighborhood in Tennessee,
Speaker 1: purchasing a property. Okay, she said this on watch what
Speaker 1: happens life. She said, quote it was a whole strip mom,
Speaker 1: and I thought this is the perfect place for me
Speaker 1: to be, considering it was Whitney. So I just thought,
Speaker 1: this is great. I'm just gonna be down here with
Speaker 1: her people, who are my people as well. I love
Speaker 1: the fact that I spent the money on a complex,
Speaker 1: and I think this is the house that Whitney built.
Speaker 1: She did this in on the low. I didn't say
Speaker 1: shit about it. Didn't say shit about it until now.
Speaker 1: That's non performative activism, when you are consciously thinking about
Speaker 1: how you are reinvesting your money, how you are reinvesting
Speaker 1: your time. This woman has dedicated her life to reinvesting
Speaker 1: into the state of Tennessee as a whole, and now
Speaker 1: in her later years, she's doing for the world. People
Speaker 1: have no idea how like revered Dolly Parton is here
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. I didn't. I thought I knew until I
Speaker 1: moved here, and then I really realized, like, you cannot
Speaker 1: say a bad thing about Dolly Partner in this state.
Speaker 1: Someone will jump out of a bush and cut Give me.
Speaker 1: Give me an example of how you went from well,
Speaker 1: I'm sure they funk with Dolly in Tennessee to then
Speaker 1: you being here and you're like, oh, it's different here,
Speaker 1: like literally every single person. So in the state of
Speaker 1: Tennessee you can do several different license plates, and unlike California,
Speaker 1: when you go to register your car, they literally hand
Speaker 1: you your plate like in that instance. So I want
Speaker 1: to go register my car, and I was so excited
Speaker 1: because they came out with a Dolly Partner plate about
Speaker 1: six years ago. And then when they came out with
Speaker 1: that plate, I was like, I'm gonna buy a car
Speaker 1: registered in Tennessee just so that when I've been Tennessee,
Speaker 1: I can drive it in a car with the Dolly
Speaker 1: Parting license plate because that is gig stuff. So when
Speaker 1: I moved here, I was like, hell, yeah, I want
Speaker 1: my Dollar Partner license plate. So I walked up and
Speaker 1: I went in there and she's like, oh, I only
Speaker 1: have one lapt I'm so excited. She's like they've been
Speaker 1: very popular. She's like we've had a lot of people
Speaker 1: moving here from California. And she's like everybody loves Solid Parton.
Speaker 1: That's like our great being Viru. She's like, Dolly Parton
Speaker 1: is the great. She started telling me her Dolly Parton story,
Speaker 1: my sister had cancer, and my sister had cancer. You know,
Speaker 1: we wrote letters to Dolly and told her how much
Speaker 1: she loved her, and Dolly wrote us a letter back
Speaker 1: and told us that she wished that she could come
Speaker 1: and sing her a song, but she couldn't, but she
Speaker 1: hoped that she got better soon. And I was like, what,
Speaker 1: like when was it. She's like it was eight seven.
Speaker 1: Like this lady is returning letters to cancer patients of
Speaker 1: people who work in the d MB in the nineteen eighties,
Speaker 1: at the height of her startup. Like you could be
Speaker 1: in a gas station, you could be in a Kroger.
Speaker 1: If it's a person is five years old or they
Speaker 1: are four hundred and fifty five years old. If you
Speaker 1: say that we're Dolly Parton, people perked up and they go,
Speaker 1: I love Dolly Parton. She's like, okay, is it's what
Speaker 1: you say? You think you like? It's smoked. If you
Speaker 1: had a shirt this a fuck Dolly Parton walk around,
Speaker 1: you are gonna get it be. I mean not I
Speaker 1: even want to see that happen, but it's good to
Speaker 1: know that's like somebody wearing like you know, like when
Speaker 1: people said, I remember there's like young rappers like tupa
Speaker 1: Whack and he said that in l A and like
Speaker 1: all these teenagers came for him. He's like, Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I never said anything like yeah, I mean, it does
Speaker 1: not matter what color you are. Everybody it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: that woman is an angel. She is great, she is perfect,
Speaker 1: and it's just incredible, like to your point of like
Speaker 1: how it's non like she had she had the intent
Speaker 1: to invest this money in this part of Tennessee because
Speaker 1: a lot of people, like from some realtors that were
Speaker 1: talked or like interviewed or like gave a comment to
Speaker 1: this Washington Post story about it, they said in nineties seven,
Speaker 1: like no commercial realtor would have shown her that property
Speaker 1: at all. They would have shown it to her at all. Now, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: those neighborhoods and I know which should just like she's
Speaker 1: talking about East Natural for the primarily for the most part,
Speaker 1: and also out south our neighborhoods that are becoming extremely
Speaker 1: gentrified Germantown, East Tennessee, dwell South out South, all of
Speaker 1: those are traditionally black neighborhoods. And to see the juxtaposition
Speaker 1: of cultures right now reminds me a lot of what
Speaker 1: was happening to Oakland in the two thousand's. It's really
Speaker 1: interesting and it's really sad because you see these black
Speaker 1: communities that are holding on. You know, a lot of
Speaker 1: these people are the first homeowners. This is the first
Speaker 1: time their family owned a home, and they are being
Speaker 1: priced out and pushed out of their neighborhoods. And in
Speaker 1: some cases it's working for them where they're able to
Speaker 1: like sell their house for five hundred, six hundred, seven
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. But for the most part, those people don't.
Speaker 1: Some of them don't own their homes, so the people
Speaker 1: who own them are selling them right underneath them. They
Speaker 1: could have been renting for the last twenty seven years,
Speaker 1: and they're being put out in the street because some
Speaker 1: asshole like meat from California wants to come and move
Speaker 1: here and buy that house. I mean, I didn't buy
Speaker 1: a house any Nashville. I bought it out in the
Speaker 1: six But it's a real problem right now. So the
Speaker 1: fact that she decided to invest in by by bringing
Speaker 1: money into by doing business there, and she has her basically,
Speaker 1: she's has her management firm, her label, her song publishing
Speaker 1: kind of company. She has a whole like creative complex
Speaker 1: that she creates things at and the fact that she
Speaker 1: does it there and she did it so long ago,
Speaker 1: is like, dude, she's a HiCon. Like people aren't thinking
Speaker 1: about that and another thing. It's all it's like she
Speaker 1: said no to Elvis, I will always love you. Elvis
Speaker 1: wanted to buy that song from her before Dolly Parton.
Speaker 1: You wanted to record that song, and she told him
Speaker 1: no because he and Colonel whatever, the Colonel Sanders whatever
Speaker 1: his manager's name was, refused didn't want her to have publishing.
Speaker 1: They wanted her to give up her publishing part. And
Speaker 1: so that's why she said no to Elvis of a
Speaker 1: generation and you all want to deny her actual pay.
Speaker 1: You're out here, she wrote, And that's what she said
Speaker 1: because most and honestly, most women were not in a
Speaker 1: position to be selling catalog or to be selling songs.
Speaker 1: And the fact that she wrote that song, and you
Speaker 1: also think about that song and its totality. She wrote
Speaker 1: that song as a break up letter to get out
Speaker 1: of her situation where he is oppressed by a man
Speaker 1: like she needed to get out of there, to get
Speaker 1: out of a relationship with Porter Wagner. So she wrote
Speaker 1: the song. That's how she convinced him to let her
Speaker 1: go and to live her life and not just be
Speaker 1: a girl singer in her band. In his band wrote
Speaker 1: the song, she gave it to him and he said, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll break your contract and let you go, but only
Speaker 1: if you let me produce this song. Because it was
Speaker 1: that fucking good. And she wrote it on the same
Speaker 1: day as Joline, by the way, which is bonkers to me.
Speaker 1: And then to have right, having such longevity, to say
Speaker 1: no to Elvis and then to write wait flight person.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if either of you have ever
Speaker 1: heard or read Dolly Parton talk about what it was
Speaker 1: like for her when she heard Whitney's version the first time.
Speaker 1: It's like this beautiful story where she basically she knew
Speaker 1: a Whitney used someonere She thought she had a beautiful voice.
Speaker 1: The deal was right, she said, go ahead record the song,
Speaker 1: but she never heard any of the cuts. So the
Speaker 1: first time she heard Whitney's version of it was on
Speaker 1: the radio. She said she was driving in her car
Speaker 1: and then she heard it and she was like, is
Speaker 1: this my song? Is this thy song? And then she
Speaker 1: said she didn't recognize it because what Whitney had done
Speaker 1: to it was more beautiful than she could ever imagine.
Speaker 1: That she had to pull her car over because Whitney's
Speaker 1: voice was so strong and so perfect, and she felt like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be able to sing this song again
Speaker 1: because this is a whole new song. I have soul
Speaker 1: into this song. And so she sat in her card
Speaker 1: and she listened to the whole thing on the radio
Speaker 1: and then went home and like wrote her a letter
Speaker 1: and told her how beautiful she thought was. Because Dolly
Speaker 1: is also famous for she doesn't email. She needs faxes.
Speaker 1: To this day, she faxes or she types up. She
Speaker 1: has her own stationary and so she will write it
Speaker 1: all up and she will type it up and then
Speaker 1: she will sign it with her big girly handwriting, and
Speaker 1: then she will give it to someone and say fact
Speaker 1: this to song and so, and they will fax it
Speaker 1: or they will scan it and then email if someone
Speaker 1: because nobody got facts no more. But Dolly, do you
Speaker 1: have a fax machine? Just so in case if she's like,
Speaker 1: oh can I fax, You're like, oh, you bet, I
Speaker 1: got a motherfucker. I do have a fact and I
Speaker 1: have a fact copy or scanner. You better believe that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I got to work on a project actually
Speaker 1: last year that was really special for work, and she
Speaker 1: was involved with the project. So she had set one
Speaker 1: of those letters to somebody on the project, and so
Speaker 1: I got to see the letter and I was just
Speaker 1: like it, like it's like, that's like my my whole
Speaker 1: goal here is to like to I will infiltrate, like
Speaker 1: I'm going to work for Dolly Parton. It's going to happen.
Speaker 1: I'm putting it into the universe manifest that I will
Speaker 1: work for Dolly Parton in some capacity. It was going
Speaker 1: to happen. I'm like, hands down, it's going to happen.
Speaker 1: I will be a part of her production team in
Speaker 1: some way or another, working behind the scenes doing something
Speaker 1: and either her TV, her film, her music, her video projects.
Speaker 1: Like it's gonna happen. Hands down, we're calling it here,
Speaker 1: We're calling it here. Yeah, I'm going to be a
Speaker 1: part of that legacy. I know too much. I've dedicated
Speaker 1: too much of my life to this moment. There's no
Speaker 1: way that I'm somebody is not going to hire my
Speaker 1: knowledge of Dolly Parton. Hit you up for Stampede tickets? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh my god. They were kind of did you see,
Speaker 1: like is they were doing weird stuff with like the
Speaker 1: mask mandate and they're they're like, hey, nobody do We're
Speaker 1: all good here and people listen. I went. I went
Speaker 1: there on Sunday this past Sunday for the first time.
Speaker 1: I will never do it again. It was not for me.
Speaker 1: It was it's it's a horse farm. It's a horse show,
Speaker 1: so like it smells like horses, and like I was
Speaker 1: just like, oh yeah, like real civil war theme before
Speaker 1: they had to alter it. So it still kind of
Speaker 1: has a civil War theme, but it's like light, like
Speaker 1: they've definitely cleaned it up, like there's now it just
Speaker 1: makes no sense. They also now have like an appropriate
Speaker 1: like an appropriate thing about like Native American culture that
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, guys, no, this is it's going
Speaker 1: to be a matter of months before they come for
Speaker 1: you on this like you've got to stop this fortion
Speaker 1: of the show. They've got trained buffaloes. That was depressing.
Speaker 1: The only thing it was that feels so violent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like little baby buffaloes that like come and run
Speaker 1: out and do it like a circle and come back.
Speaker 1: The only thing that I will say that was badasses
Speaker 1: that they have three black cowgirls that are like on
Speaker 1: the teams and they are the writers, the strongest horsewriters.
Speaker 1: This one woman was incredible. She was riding two horses
Speaker 1: at once. She was riding them upside down. She jumped
Speaker 1: through a freaking flaming circle like she was badass. So
Speaker 1: birth counts. They do have a diverse, you know, cast
Speaker 1: of people that are doing things, but the whole concept
Speaker 1: is just like so wild. Like they have synchronized service.
Speaker 1: Everybody gets a whole chicken and pork loin, and it
Speaker 1: was like so much food. Wait, get chicken. I'm going
Speaker 1: I'm going that's what I said, because everyone said it's
Speaker 1: like hill billy medieval times and I'm like, okay, well
Speaker 1: then what's the food, because it fully is you get
Speaker 1: everybody gets a full chicken, and it's kind of amazing.
Speaker 1: They're like they have a dinner time song and basically
Speaker 1: like the doors open it from the top and all
Speaker 1: the servers like come down in synchronized way and they
Speaker 1: all these big trays of chicken and they literally just
Speaker 1: go down. It's like you get a chicken, you get
Speaker 1: a chicken, you get chicken, you get chicken. I took
Speaker 1: this like epic video of it because we had somebody
Speaker 1: with use those vegetarians. It was like chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken,
Speaker 1: and then his vegetarian plate was basically a plate of
Speaker 1: broccoli and cauliflower, like a fountain of cauliflower. So it's
Speaker 1: just like chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, caulie flower. They
Speaker 1: give they gave me a soup with no spoon, but
Speaker 1: like the bowl has a handle, so everyone has to
Speaker 1: like pick up this, like yeah, and all the while
Speaker 1: while inhaling emmoniated like you're any sort of like course.
Speaker 1: It sounds like experienced. Everyone had to have at least once.
Speaker 1: It's definitely. I mean, I'm glad I did it for once,
Speaker 1: but I was very glad when it was over. I
Speaker 1: was like, and they don't have alcohol, which I thought
Speaker 1: was a travesty. I was like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: I wondered, like everything had please you think, yeah, you
Speaker 1: think they had some problems in there in the past,
Speaker 1: like we have stopped serving alcohol. You can't do this anymore.
Speaker 1: Ch they start throwing it, dude. It was funny to
Speaker 1: see how they like had sanitized it, like there's still
Speaker 1: elements of civil war, but like they make sure that
Speaker 1: it's a tie at the end, like everybody there's a
Speaker 1: message about how everyone is equal, and you know, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you're from the North or the South
Speaker 1: that you know, everyone is beautiful and like one great nation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was a lot. I was just like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know about this with belly,
Speaker 1: Like see what you did here. I appreciate it, but hey,
Speaker 1: look look we're all we're all growing, We're all growing,
Speaker 1: and the Stampede is going through its own evolution as well.
Speaker 1: You know. But I did enjoy eating a whole chicken.
Speaker 1: I did my own home. Yeah, I mean it was
Speaker 1: that was pretty solid. I don't have any faults about
Speaker 1: I mean I was sold the second you said you
Speaker 1: get a whole chicken. I'm like, yeah, yep, yep, yep,

Speaker 1: saw that. I what's the recipe you've been working with recently?
Speaker 1: I will tell you about something that I had recently
Speaker 1: that I was very proud of myself for making, because
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of tomatoes, but I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna embrace this. I got tomatoes in
Speaker 1: my in my my farm box, because I have a
Speaker 1: farm box that I get come the farmers a bunch
Speaker 1: of tomatoes. I made a lamb and beef early airline
Speaker 1: tomato red boost sauce that was fantastic and it's super
Speaker 1: easy and you can do it if anything you want.
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is you need about six big
Speaker 1: batty ripe tomatoes. You need a green bell pepper. You
Speaker 1: need an onion. Get a sweet onion of idellia if
Speaker 1: you can find one. Put all that ship in the oven,
Speaker 1: cover it with oil, salt and pepper. Don't peel it,
Speaker 1: wash it, you know what I mean. Roast that ship
Speaker 1: until the skin starts falling off, let it cool, blend
Speaker 1: it up, and then take a pot and then just
Speaker 1: brown off your meats with garlic and a ship ton
Speaker 1: of basil, and then pouring that mixture of the peppers,
Speaker 1: the onions and the tomatoes, and then just cook it
Speaker 1: up and you can kind of season it to taste.
Speaker 1: I suggest like a hearty handful of some like Italian seasoning.
Speaker 1: I like to crush up some fresh fennel, put that
Speaker 1: in there and then just cook that shipped down and
Speaker 1: you can put it on just about everything. Like I
Speaker 1: put it on a bagel and it was great. I
Speaker 1: put it on pasta, it was great. I put it
Speaker 1: on a spaghetti squash it was great. Like and you
Speaker 1: can put it in the freezer and it freezes beautifully.
