I haven't watched it in a long time. Keep saying I'm going to. I got a bunch of clips of it. You know, like, I watch it.   You know, I'll turn it on. I'm like, man, this stuff from the beginning. I just, like, start watching. It was like,   you know, somebody distracts me from it, and I fucking   won't pick it up again   till somebody reminds me and by telling me to quit.  



[00:03:08] Unknown:

Well, I watched   the first seven seasons and, the first two movies. Never watched anymore. Yeah. You don't wanna see the rest. It ain't it's not good. Yeah. I think I tried to watch a little bit. It was just they kinda lost the Yeah. It's not good. Went over the top. The best the best stuff is definitely, like, what, seasons three through fucking seven? Oh, yeah.   Patrick Swayze, the Express.   Who's who's the eighties   singer   from Skid Row? Sebastian Bach? Yeah. Sebastian Bach. Every time on the phone rings, he's like, fuck. My wife's gonna be so fucking pissed.   I'll get out of here.  



[00:03:44] Unknown:

Well, Johnny What you been up to all day, man?  

[00:03:47] Unknown:

Nothing. Cleaned   cleaned the litter boxes,   which I wear a mask for. It's disgusting.  

[00:03:54] Unknown:

Yeah.   I'm always wondering, like,   you know, can you actually catch something from that? I think you can. I said pregnant women shouldn't. Pregnant women that got that that disease from  

[00:04:06] Unknown:

it. That's just a way for   a whore who's taking one   in the sternum   to do less work.  

[00:04:16] Unknown:

That's my take. Like, when I was looking at a chicken coop today, there's shit everywhere in there. I was like, man,   fucking I should probably clean that, but, you know, bird flu is on the loose. Bird flu is on the loose.   The chickens can, deal one more day. Hell, y'all lost a chicken yesterday. What happened? Fox?   Well, not sure,   had   Trisha let the chickens out in the morning, which she never does, but I always encourage,   You know? And I let them out all the time. You know? And then I just get them to all march back in the damn coop whenever I'm done. So they're just Like, free range in the yard? Free range in yeah. They walk around the neighborhood a little bit. Usually, they don't cross the road unless they got a reason.   And,   so they were out there for a while, and I was down in the basement slaving away. And,   she come out and she she come walk downstairs, and she's like,   the neighbor's dogs got out. I think they got the chicken.  

So I was like, alright. Well, whatever. That's fine. I went walking up around the front of the house, and the neighbor comes down and he's apologizing. He's like, hey.   He's like, you know, I let the gate open and the dogs normally just run and jump in the car when we're going for a ride. But   this   time, they just went straight down the road. And I thought, well, of course, dog's gonna do what it's gonna do if it smells a chicken or sees a chicken.   And he's like, I come around the corner, and the husky had one in his mouth. And I said, drop it. And he dropped it and ran back, and I was like, alright. That's cool. I was like, anything happen to your dogs? You know, they get scratched? He's like, no. They're fine. I said, okay. Well, don't worry about it. He's like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Can a chicken  

[00:05:50] Unknown:

fuck a dog up? I don't know. They got claws. I don't know. They fight him. Right? In Mexico? Cocks.   Is that the male? Yeah.  

[00:05:58] Unknown:

So these would be hens.   And, but, you know, they I'm sure they could at least you know, they could get an eye or something. Right?  

[00:06:06] Unknown:

Goddamn bear we have has drawn blood on me multiple times. Yeah.   It's a canary wing BB.   How big is it?   Six to eight inches. Oh, yeah.   Tip to   tip.   And I think we need   to trim its beak.   I'd like to cut it off flush with the face.  

[00:06:29] Unknown:

So  

[00:06:31] Unknown:

so, anyway, fucking guy's like   he says,   he he's apologizing. I said, don't worry about it, man. They're just chickens.   And, you know, and   he said it ran around the side, you know, so it's fine. I said, okay. Whatever. So we find five chickens and they go back in, but there's one missing.   Don't have come back. Where it's at, you know. What's that one's name? There's no names for these chickens.   So, you know, I figured if I found it flopping around or something, I'd just eat it. You know? Kill it and eat it. Yeah. Well,   something got it. I don't think it was the dog. The dude had told me if his dog had a chicken, you know? I'm sure it'd been covered in blood. It cut that dog open. Yeah. Well, I don't care that much. But at some point, I think what would happen is the chickens all disperse because they panicked, and then one of them got separated, and I think, like, a hawk got her or something.  

But Trisha felt really bad, you know. She's like, oh, I never   I never let him out. And one time I let him out, I lose one of them. I'll watch him. Like,  

[00:07:28] Unknown:

they're just chickens. You're a better man than me. I would  

[00:07:32] Unknown:

not let that opportunity go. I wasn't gonna let her have it. No. I don't get mad about much, actually. Well, I mean, typically, I would screw around and, like, make you know, try to make jokes about it. Yeah. But I didn't even do that. I'm like,   Fuck it. Let the chicken go. Like, okay. We got five chickens now. Yeah. Chickens are I mean, sure. You know, eggs are prices up, and you're probably gonna lose out on hundreds of dollars in eggs.  

[00:07:56] Unknown:

That is I can see you now sitting in the basement pouring over the books.  

[00:08:01] Unknown:

Whiskey. We'd have been this far ahead. We lost that chicken back in  

[00:08:06] Unknown:

back in February. Guess who's buying great value this month.   Congratulations.  

[00:08:14] Unknown:

Yeah.   But, you know,   I have been Well, something out there got a meal.  

[00:08:20] Unknown:

Yeah. It's good. It is good. You did someone a favor or something.  

[00:08:24] Unknown:

Could've been a guy. Probably the that was probably the thrill of that dog's life. Yeah.   You know? I'm not saying the dog ate it, but I guarantee he had a good time when he had it in his mouth. We've talked about this before. Right? We give the dogs people food and stuff because  

[00:08:37] Unknown:

they live a short and miserable life otherwise. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, dogs aren't supposed to eat   whatever's in this dry dog food. It's it's a shame.  

[00:08:46] Unknown:

Well, I mean, they like it because, you know, it's all they get. But still, you you wouldn't wanna eat the same damn meal, so   fuck it. Give the damn dog a steak occasionally. Plus, they're not meant to eat whatever that is. Yeah. Whatever that is. Garbage food. Yeah. Meant to eat meat.  

[00:09:03] Unknown:

Yeah. I mean, anytime I cook, the dog just   hang around and stare.  

[00:09:09] Unknown:

Can you message eating that fucking food every day? That'd be like eating Slim Jims. Cut up Slim Jims every day of your life. Yeah. Well, my brother used to eat  

[00:09:17] Unknown:

Slim Jim, Ritz cracker, and Cheez It sandwiches.  

[00:09:21] Unknown:

Okay. That doesn't sound bad, but how often? Pretty often. That's not good. Yeah. Disgusting.  

[00:09:28] Unknown:

Although I will admit Slim Jims are great.   Oh, yeah. In small doses. Yeah. Can't eat too many of them.  

[00:09:35] Unknown:

How's your brother? I haven't seen him in a long time. I don't know. Doesn't we don't talk much. Really? You don't talk? No. He's Brother got we're tight. No. He's an oddball, man. He,  

[00:09:45] Unknown:

he's under this belief system because   my dad wasn't close with his brothers   that he should not be close with his.   That's fucking stupid. And he told me that expressly,   around Christmas time because he's a child now. And I'm like, hey, man. We should get the kids together. You know? Cousins can hang out. We've never had a problem between us. He's like, fuck no. We don't do that in this family.   What? Yeah.   Makes no sense.  

[00:10:12] Unknown:

I liked your brother. Yeah. He's a good guy.   Funny. Couldn't read till he was 13, I think,   but he's very smart.   Yeah. You don't have to you don't have to be able to read to be smart. But  

[00:10:25] Unknown:

it helps. It does help.   Just sign your name with an x.  

[00:10:31] Unknown:

Maybe   maybe he can read. It's just simpler for him to say that he can't. That's that's a good point. Yeah.   Imagine helping him to read the word pizza.  

[00:10:41] Unknown:

Imagine if you thought   pizza was Chinese food.  

[00:10:47] Unknown:

It's it is Chinese food.  

[00:10:49] Unknown:

We all know this.  

[00:10:51] Unknown:

Of course, it's Chinese food.   Chinese invented the wheel,   and naturally, pizza came next. Is that true? Well, the spoke wheel, hence, pizza.  

[00:11:02] Unknown:

The spoke wheel,   isn't spoke   a derogatory term for the Chinese?   No. That's   Hispanics.   Oh,   well, I think it still applies.  

[00:11:16] Unknown:

Okay. So it may not be true that they invented the spoke or the wheel, but   they did invent pizza.  

[00:11:23] Unknown:

And the Africans were the first people. Right? Your dad did say so.   I mean, I guess   the way you told that story, it makes sense. I mean, what's my dad know? I mean, he probably,  

[00:11:36] Unknown:

you know, one day he was probably either watching a documentary or reading an article that probably related,   you know, the two. Like, okay. Well, pizza was first   here, but it may have been seen earlier here in a different form. You know, like, they made round bread or something. You know, you never know where he got it from. Well, then did the Chinese  

[00:11:55] Unknown:

make noodles first?  

[00:12:00] Unknown:

I don't know.  

[00:12:01] Unknown:

I think they did. Egg noodles.   We should also,   clarify that we will not fact check anything   on this podcast. No. There's no fact checking. It's not the point of it.   Right.  

[00:12:14] Unknown:

I mean, fact checking takes the fun out of things. Yeah. Maybe we could. My phone's right there,   but   not gonna do it. Imagine how much time that would waste. Would waste time. Plus you wanna rile up the people. Yeah.   We'll do some fact checking. We'll do post  

[00:12:32] Unknown:

post production fact checking. And there is an open invitation.   If you'd like to come on the podcast and debate, you are free to do so.  

[00:12:40] Unknown:

Yeah. If you don't like something we have we have to say, come on and tell us why we're wrong.  

[00:12:44] Unknown:

That's right. In the,   deep in the woods where we do this podcast.  

[00:12:50] Unknown:

Yeah.   Coming to you from Latrobe today. This is Latrobe.   Latrobe or Latrobe? I don't know. You're the native.  

[00:12:59] Unknown:

Well, I'm   a a bit of a pariah in Latrobe.  

[00:13:03] Unknown:

The thing about Latrobe is all these people bought the fanciest house in Latrobe and fucking turned it into garbage dump.  

[00:13:09] Unknown:

These people all love mister Rogers. Mister Rogers was a great man,   but,   that's all you hear about.   So when you get around a bunch of these people and they start   gushing over mister Rogers, I always make sure to slip in the conversation that, they just recently found out that he   touched little kids.   There were severe allegations and proof, and that that usually quiets the conversation down. I don't think that's true at all. Well, I mean, I have a good story going here because I said, well, why do you think they went to Daniel Tiger? Like, everyone loved mister Rogers. They still would have watched it. But all of a sudden, Daniel Tiger now? Like, why do you think that was? And I'm like, that's exactly why. Because mister Rogers   was a child molester,   and they just wanted to get away from it quietly.  



[00:13:55] Unknown:

How's that related to Daniel Tiger? Because Daniel Tiger replaced mister Rogers. He did? I believe so. Yeah. It's in Daniel Tiger's neighborhood. I've never seen that.  

[00:14:05] Unknown:

It's kid's shit. It's lost on me.   But, just to be clear, no. Mister Rogers was not  

[00:14:11] Unknown:

a child molester, but I do say this around these uppity late trope people. Yeah. Nor was he a marine with whose arms were covered in tattoos and covered by his   sweater.   Just a good man. I did believe that. That was a that was a conservative talking point for a long time. That'd be really cool if, mister Rogers actually was a ex marine   and   came back and had a change of heart and just   fucked little kids.   They're racy.   Spicy.  

[00:14:50] Unknown:

I   mean, once you get a taste for blood, you need something to get excited about.  

[00:14:55] Unknown:

Just go back to normal life.   Yeah.   Hence our hence our the predator class.   Yeah. They rule over us.  

[00:15:05] Unknown:

The reptilian overlords. Yeah.  

[00:15:08] Unknown:

Not exactly natural elites, more like   haphazard elites or   non elites.  

[00:15:16] Unknown:

Well, the, I   gotta say I   am loving a lot of what Trump's doing right now.   Did you see he shut down   USAID?  

[00:15:26] Unknown:

Oh, USAID. Did the the, you talking about the the program that brings bags of rice to all the little childrens of the world Yeah. That they're fed.  

[00:15:36] Unknown:

Yeah. The,   what is it? The agency of international  

[00:15:40] Unknown:

Development. Development. Yeah.  

[00:15:43] Unknown:

Did you see he he shut it down?  

[00:15:46] Unknown:

Yes. Which   you'd say whatever you want about old Donald Trump, but he is just blitzkrieging.   Yes. He is.   The government.   I I   listen.   I don't see how you can argue with shutting down something like USAID.  

[00:16:03] Unknown:

Right. I it's  

[00:16:05] Unknown:

You said,   like, the type of person it takes to argue   against that, you gotta be a moron.  

[00:16:13] Unknown:

Well, it's it's the neocons. It's,   you know, it's   the Bill Kristols. I can't even remember these assholes' names. These people's names. Liebowitz.  

[00:16:24] Unknown:

That man sounds dangerous.  

[00:16:26] Unknown:

Rich and dangerous.   Yeah. I mean, every problem in the world today, the whole Middle East.   And for those of you who aren't aware of the Do you know there's people out there that believe  

[00:16:39] Unknown:

that they're they're an agency that, you know, provides a relief for foreign countries? That's  

[00:16:45] Unknown:

it's crazy.  

[00:16:47] Unknown:

It's the biggest sigh of going. But you hear about this stuff your entire life and then finally,  

[00:16:52] Unknown:

you know, it all comes out. And you know what? In people like us who've been talking about this for how long, you know, fifteen, twenty years easily. Right?   You can't even say,   I told her so. I told her so? Yeah. You just gotta ride the wave now. But   so it is frustrating to not receive any vindication.   Right?   But who's gonna say you were right? No one.  

[00:17:18] Unknown:

Oh, that's okay. Just knowing you're right is good enough.   I mean Do you make do you know   do you see all the lists of,   you know, what they say is, like, waste, you know, and everybody's   completely taken aback by Yeah. Oh, there's,   what? They brought mister Rogers to The Middle East and, you know, to so little Pakistani children could have mister Rogers. It's like,   and there's condoms to Hamas or Gaza or whatever the hell they're saying. It's like,   that's not what these people are doing.  

[00:17:50] Unknown:

Right.   And that's that's, like, that's a little money. Yeah. That's Where they get 1 and a half million dollars. That's Yeah. Nothing, unfortunately. Yeah.   But what it is   is a smart PR move   to   gain traction and support   for Doge. Right?   But that's the point of it. Like, people who don't know anything about this hear that. They're like, oh, fuck. Yeah. You gotta cancel all that shit. Keep going. Oh, wait. You're saying  

[00:18:23] Unknown:

okay. So you're saying that if you don't know what USAID is   or what and the CIA and NGOs have been up to for years, you're saying as long as you just hear, like, condoms to Hamas have been stopped, then you're like, fuck yeah. Doge is doing the right thing. Right. Okay. But the normal   person's gonna hear that. Typical PR thing is a good move.   I think so. Yeah. Yeah. I see. Yeah. I see what you're saying.  

[00:18:46] Unknown:

I'm not saying whether I agree or disagree. I'm just saying,   I mean, my argument about the Republicans   for,   you know, the last twelve, sixteen years has been that they're terrible politicians.   I mean,   they always get spanked, and they just can't stop arguing about shit no one cares about, like abortion.   Right?   And, like, Christian morals and   the pledge of allegiance   and the 10 commandments   being in schools. Right? Like, no one gives a fuck, and that's all they talked about. And now they finally found something that   is seemingly   sticking.  



[00:19:24] Unknown:

Yeah. Now they have a purpose. Well,   I guess the Republicans for   at least our lifetime,   that was that those were all their points. You know? 10 Commandments, all that stuff. Well, they were the Neutons.   Yeah. Well, that's really just   they're just playing the   the, what do they call it in wrestling? The, the foil to the to the heroes, the left. You know? With the prog you know, progress progressives are always gonna be moving their agenda to the left, and then that that the other side has to, like,   offer some kind of opposition to that. So that's what they do. It's abortion. It's it's 10 commandments. All that stuff in it. None of that like, everybody's pretty much   okay with a lot, you know, all that stuff. Everybody knows that, you know, you need to be moral and, you know, abortion, I mean, I don't really think I can say much on it and you can't. But,   like No. And I don't they they focus on that. But now now we have something that's so that basically puts the left and the old right on one side, and then now you have an entire new group of government who's actually gonna do something. Well, the other half is,  

[00:20:35] Unknown:

like, the rubber is finally hitting the road   generally. Right? Like, everything's   super expensive.   No one can find a job that   can   even match inflation,   let alone outpace it. So,   like, governor Shapiro right now is trying to find ways to keep fossil fuel or fossil plants online. Right?  

[00:21:02] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[00:21:03] Unknown:

So the same people who   wanted to shut down fossil power generation and usher in this era   of green energy,   are now saying, well, I guess we do need to keep the fossil plants going, and they were told that forever.   And anyone who spoke out against green energy   being, you know, baseload generation   was   ostracized   as a piece of shit,   when in reality,   green energy just can't provide that power. Not now, probably not ever, at least in our lifetimes. Right?   I mean, it it just cannot.   And without getting into the specifics,   they created a false system   and lied about   solar and wind and   all this other bullshit. And now we have   very little power available,   without,   like, spinning reserve, for instance. Like, the amount of available   power generation   used to be, like, 25%   extra   than what you needed at any given moment. Currently, it's, like, three, which is basically zero.  

So it's a very precarious situation. I don't remember where I'm going with this. Oh, rubber meeting the road. So at some point, these insane   progressive policies that do not work   have to come grinding to a halt.   When something   works so poorly, at some point, it's going to be obvious that it won't work. I think that's where we finally are with everything.   Like, the immigration   mess,   finally, every it's so bad that people just have to admit, I guess this is bullshit. It's not gonna work.   Right? Same thing with energy.  

[00:22:45] Unknown:

Same thing with a lot of things. So here we are. Oh, okay. That's what you mean by rubber meets the road. Yeah. Well, that's that's shown because,   you know,   the majority of America   voted for Donald Trump and basically gave him a mandate. He got the popular vote, electoral college,   and   that that shows you that regular people   finally were like, I've had enough of this. This has gotta this has gotta end. Yeah. So We're we're headed to, you know, a bad end if this doesn't just change right now.  

[00:23:16] Unknown:

I guess, just putting this   thought in my mind together,   is it really that people like Trump so much or people just are finally realizing that the alternative   is just so bad?  

[00:23:29] Unknown:

Well, yeah, well, so it's I think it's a probably a lot of things because   he   he had to be the man at this place and time because no one else was gonna do that. I think so. There were there you know, we'd had one more election where it was   Carrie Lake. Is it Carrie Lake? You know, you had somebody   on the right pretending to   to be for the people, and then the the left was gonna continue going down their path no matter what, and and   they were both gonna win. So you needed a person that was completely outside of that,   and he just happened to be the man at the time. You know, it's not like he's wonderful. I mean, he's a man. He makes mistakes. He's arrogant, but   he was the man for the moment.  



[00:24:15] Unknown:

Yeah. I think that's  

[00:24:17] Unknown:

definitely the case. And, you know, you got twelve years of this guy. Right? So you have   you got four years where he basically didn't know what was going on.   Four years to watch it happen and figure out   the real reason. I'm not saying Trump's playing four d chess or he's  

[00:24:33] Unknown:

getting But he's got people advising him. And why he's getting fucked. Yeah. I mean, all those indictments, it was all such bullshit. Yeah.   I mean, even just to go after someone like that   for cooking the books, for paying off a whore, like, it's insane.  

[00:24:48] Unknown:

Yeah. They all do it.  

[00:24:50] Unknown:

This was kind of why I started to   mean, when I was young, I was, like, really conservative   is the way I was raised. And,   yeah, I guess this is why I I just fell out with it. If you're honest with yourself at all, you almost can't be a conservative. Right?   Like, everybody jerks off. Everybody thinks   of fucking   women. Yeah. Everybody   lots of people do drugs, get fucked up, do dumb shit. Yeah. Well Like, no one actually believes in God. And   if you're conservative, those are, like, your your principles. Right? Well, I mean, I was lying to myself to act like I believed in any of that bullshit. So  

[00:25:28] Unknown:

Yeah. But you can get back to that. I mean, you were young. We were all young at one point, you know, and even if you were raised conservatively, you're still gonna have all those animal urges. You're just not smart enough to know to resist them. And when you get older,   you start,   you know, reassessing your life and you it may come more into line with what you believe. So that doesn't mean it yeah. Well, I guess the way I looked at it is  

[00:25:53] Unknown:

a lot of things that they say are wrong just aren't wrong.   I mean, is it wrong to Like what?   Is it wrong to wanna fuck No. Other than to make a child? Like, no. That's not wrong at all. No. It's typical,   instinctual behavior. Yeah. I mean, is it wrong to   like, I know a lot of people who smoke weed every day of their lives,   and they're just fine. Right?   Yeah. I mean, I couldn't do that,   and I actually look down on it, but it not in in   as though it's morally wrong.   I just think it's silly.   What do you think?  

[00:26:32] Unknown:

I don't know. I mean, I think people have   I think you have these   natural   tendencies, which you're going to do   for a certain period of your life. And,   you know, and then eventually as you get older,   you either get married and you continue to do that with your wife or you just stay a whore and,   you know, you'll   you'll you'll you'll continue into into old age just, you know, running through women,   But   I don't see that as being wrong as long you're not hurt anybody.   Yeah. So let me ask you this. But I don't know. That that doesn't make him any less of a conservative. I mean, the conservative can can do that and still   not, you know and okay. So the really what a conservative is is they don't want things to   they basically like tradition, and they don't want things   to change   too quickly But they took it too far. So that their society can't adjust to it. But they took it too far. Like, how many  

[00:27:39] Unknown:

states had, like, anti sodomy laws? Right?   Like, how much of this shit There's anti sodomy laws? Oh, yeah.   I'm sure they're still on the books. Yeah. Virginia's for lovers. I don't know what the law is in PA.   But, yeah, I think it was I think that's why you got this   progressivism   that   swept in and took over. There was just so much of this shit you heard about,   you know, God and   Christian morality and   not that I think any of it's bad, but when you shove it in people's faces for   thirty, forty years, there's and roll. Yeah. And that was created by the CIA. That was created by the CIA.  

[00:28:21] Unknown:

I don't know where I'm going with this. When we started with USAID, and here we are back at the beginning, rock and roll was created by the CIA.   Yeah. It was. I mean Who's that idiot from Pittsburgh? He has all that terrible art,   like the Campbell Soup Can. Oh, Andy Warhol.   Art Rooney? No. Wait. Andy Warhol. Yeah. Yeah. That was all CIA funded art. Yeah. It's not a conspiracy. It's it's  

[00:28:43] Unknown:

Which is a bummer because I love Lou Reed so much, and he was a He's a He was a shill. He was a Jew. He was a shill. He's a goddamn dentist's   son.   So, yeah, nothing's real. I don't know where I'm going with any of this. I guess   both sides have just been so fucked for so long. Everything is fake and gay. Everything is fake and gay.   But Donald Trump is not a conservative. He's not a Republican.   He's just   whatever   he is. And  

[00:29:14] Unknown:

I don't know. That dude,   he   not a Trump supporter. Neither am I. I   I really, really don't wanna vote for Donald Trump when the when this previous election came around, but you had no choice. Oh, you   you look at those morons that they put up in front of people.   Yeah. And How can you have any self respect   going around   saying that Kamala Harris is gonna do   great things? You know, you none of these people could have been a true believer. Well, not to mention,  

[00:29:50] Unknown:

they   just went crazy   saying that Donald Trump was the end of democracy   and   whatever.   Yeah. They didn't have a primary.   They cooed the sitting president, basically. Right? Yeah. I mean,  

[00:30:06] Unknown:

anyone who can't admit that. Nobody even questioned it once he was gone. They were just like,  

[00:30:10] Unknown:

where'd that guy go? I mean, anyone who   knows anything at all   is just a liar if they say that,   the Democrats handled things appropriately   in in any way.   I mean, not having a primary just blows my mind.   It's it's crazy.  

[00:30:33] Unknown:

Well, they're, you know, democracy. They're giving you the option   to like the person they chose.  

[00:30:40] Unknown:

Right.   And, like, you know, they were They did but did they  

[00:30:44] Unknown:

really,   really give you   the option, though? Like, we can say that they didn't have a primary, but do they really ever have a primary?   No. I mean, they claim to, but Yeah. I mean and that's not to say that They teach these people to like that candidate.   You know, no matter who it is, they teach them. They they make them believe they're gonna do something for  

[00:31:03] Unknown:

them. Yeah. I mean, and the Dems are   whoever they have running, like like the DNC,   those people get their talking points, and they run with it. Right? Yeah. Lockstep.   I mean, it's impressive that It is.  

[00:31:17] Unknown:

That's why they're hard to beat. They work twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, round the clock, and they are good at what they do. Yeah. I mean, you've seen the compilations of, like, the news stations saying the same thing.   Like, 200 different news stations, same thing verbatim? Yes. It it if you see one of those,   you should question   everything because it's very clear that they're getting handed a packet of papers and saying, listen. This is what you're gonna say for this news cycle.  

[00:31:49] Unknown:

Yeah. And that's what happens. It's  

[00:31:51] Unknown:

It may maybe maybe people just aren't exposed to that, like, super compilation thing where they can just overlay,   you know, thousands of what they call journalists or basically,   the nightly news or morning news person, and they all say it in lockstep, and they can overlay it. And they say the exact phrases.  

[00:32:10] Unknown:

Yeah. Even down to, like, the timing.   Yeah.   Yeah. The timing, the inflection. I don't know  

[00:32:18] Unknown:

how I don't know how they do it.  

[00:32:20] Unknown:

But I do think  

[00:32:22] Unknown:

traditional media is is dead. What do you think about what if they did that with, remember when Wright,   talk radio? Orville Wright? No. No. Talk radio on the right. You know, it was big, in the early two thousands. Rush Limbaugh. Yeah. Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck,   Sean Hannity. Sean Hannity. Who's the other guy says we'll do it live? That guy? Oh, Bill O'Reilly. Bill O'Reilly. Like, those guys used to be on morning   radio shows all the time. What if people were making super comps with what they were saying? Like, could you go back and do it?  

[00:32:52] Unknown:

Oh, I don't think so. I mean, it was the same exact   shit   that they were talking about.  

[00:32:59] Unknown:

But, I don't know. I think   I I bet you if somebody went back,   you could go back and there would be super comps of them pushing   the war in Afghanistan Oh, well, definitely. With weapons of mass destruction. Definitely the wars.  

[00:33:13] Unknown:

Like, it would have to be. And I am so ashamed of myself. Granted, I was in seventh grade, but,   like, I fell for the whole,   if you don't support the war, you don't support the troops.   That was another big realization to me. Like, remember when they ruined the Dixie Chicks?   The Dixie Chicks? They didn't ruin themselves?   Wow.   Yeah. No. I know what you mean. Yeah. But no. I mean, they came out against the war, and they were just Yeah. That was, like, the beginning of the new CMT. Yeah. That's, like, Toby Keith,   Daryl Worley. Remember that? I don't remember Daryl Worley. He sang that song, Have You Forgotten?  



[00:33:50] Unknown:

Yeah. Have You Forgotten? I remember. About the Pentagon.  

[00:33:54] Unknown:

That song is fucking terrible.   It's terrible, and it's,   what's the word?   Exploitative?   Propaganda?   Propaganda.   Propaganda.   Propaganda. That's a band. Right? That's Propaganda.   Propaganda?  

[00:34:09] Unknown:

Propaganda.   Propaganda.   Yeah. Which is an awesome band name. Didn't Gandhi fuck kids?  

[00:34:16] Unknown:

He slept with them naked to test his will. Right?   Pretty sure that's true. What's that? Gandhi. Yeah.   Yeah. He would sleep   with   teenage   girls or boys, I can't remember, naked   as  

[00:34:33] Unknown:

So he's testing his will.  

[00:34:35] Unknown:

Yeah.   I'm pretty sure this is fact.  

[00:34:40] Unknown:

I say that   confidently.  

[00:34:44] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[00:34:46] Unknown:

I will fact check that one. Hold on.  

[00:34:49] Unknown:

I don't know. The I I just think that   once you see one of those supercuts where they show   you every news station talking in in,   in unison,   you know right there that journalism   has died for   at least on television.   I guess they probably pull that stuff from podcast too, you know, left wing podcast.   You can't continue believing in   that they have your best interest in mind once you've seen that one time.  

[00:35:20] Unknown:

Right.  

[00:35:22] Unknown:

It's so obvious. And then I wonder, there are smart people   I know plenty of smart people that have progressive   viewpoints   that   they don't question that.   I think I think it actually hurts their brain to question something like that.   Like, it pits their entire exist existence against  

[00:35:44] Unknown:

against, a reality that they're not ready to to deal with. Well, this is why it works when times are good. Right?   This is why the boomers are the way they are. They had it good forever,   basically. Right? Yeah.   Like, where how old are you?   44. 40 four. I'm 36,   I think. I mean, we've seen the good times, and now we've seen   the way it's all falling apart. Yeah.   So   unlike the boomers, you kinda have to ask, like, what the fuck happened here?   What is going on?   So they the boomers are real against it all. They   they can't   it's like they can't comprehend that everything they've known is a lie,   and their whole lives were based on lies.  

But at the same time, they had great lives.  

[00:36:35] Unknown:

The boomers aren't really the issue anymore.   Like, sure, there's a lot of them, but they're not influencing anything anymore. Like, it's all these young people. You see them on Well, they are because   every congress member is a fucking boomer. Yeah. They're are they? Yeah. They're either boomers or they're from the previous generation before that. What do they call that? The   The silent generation? Is it silent? I don't think it is. Right after World War two? Oh, the,  

[00:37:00] Unknown:

the greatest generation.   Right?  

[00:37:05] Unknown:

No. Yeah.   Yeah. We went in the greatest   generation   was World War two. They fought the war. And then Yeah. The boomers were their kids. Followed up by the boomers. Yeah. And the Gen Xers. Right? Yeah. Are you a Gen Xer or are you a millennial? I'm right on the edge. I'm nineteen eighty. So, technically, I'm considered   a Gen Xer,   but   I could be considered a millennial. I'm a solid, solidly millennial. You are a solid millennial, which you have very,   very   little millennial tendencies. I would think so. I You you always seem more of, like, from   you know, you're like a  

[00:37:43] Unknown:

my generation type of kid. Yeah. I mean, people my age, they're   really, people my age might have been the weirdest time   to come up, like, through adolescence and stuff.   Like, the Internet was kinda getting big when I was in high school, but it wasn't big.   Like, we had AOL.  

[00:38:04] Unknown:

There's always on. AOL in high school. I had AOL in high school. Did you then? You're fucking ten years behind me.   Did you had full blown fucking Internet in high school for sure. Like, I was playing battle chess in the library in seventh grade thinking it was the coolest shit ever.  

[00:38:20] Unknown:

Oh, well, you know what? You're right. Because AOL would have been when I was in, like, fifth grade. Yeah. It would have been way way before. But that was confusing because I would talk to girls on there. They'd call me, like, babe and hon. Yeah. I'd be like, are we boyfriend and girlfriend now? Guys. No. No. It was it was definitely girls. People you knew? Yeah. Oh, okay. But then I'd see them in school and they wouldn't talk to me. And I'm like, what's going on here?  

[00:38:40] Unknown:

Oh. God, I see. They like they like that,   anonymousness.  

[00:38:45] Unknown:

Yeah. Is that a word? Anonymity. Anonymity.  

[00:38:49] Unknown:

This and, anonymity. I'm a cut that out.  

[00:38:52] Unknown:

It's like a glory hole. I've never been to one, but   what's the chances   the mouth on the other side of the glory hole is not a man?  

[00:39:03] Unknown:

I've   who cares?  

[00:39:05] Unknown:

I guess.  

[00:39:09] Unknown:

The chances are low.   I guess if you're at a glory hole, it is what it is. You can get I'm gonna say it's about the it's like the survivability rate of COVID. It's ninety nine point nine eight seven percent. Gonna be a man on the other side of the glory hole.   I mean, they're putting every hole up to that hole too. Their armpit, their butthole, their mouth, whatever. Oh, yeah. You stick it in, it goes   two pieces of flesh.  

[00:39:35] Unknown:

That's like Joe used to talk about   fucking his wife's,  

[00:39:40] Unknown:

Armpit? Armpits. Yeah. Cutting the pizza. And knees?   Yeah. My buddy from Latrobe, he's called slicing the pizza. Slicing the pizza. Who's your buddy from Latrobe? I went to college with him. His name's Chris.   Chris. Yeah. Genius.   Smart guy.   You'll never hear this.  

[00:39:59] Unknown:

He might. Yeah. Maybe. What's he do now? He's a psychologist. Oh, well,   bullshit. Yeah.   Psychology is a hard one for me. I don't I don't buy any of   it. Shouldn't say any of it, but   should it really be a profession?  

[00:40:22] Unknown:

It seems so easy to me to not be a piece of shit   and to, like Oh, you're saying if you're a psychologist, it it's very easy to be a piece of shit.   Is that what you're saying? No. I'm just saying,  

[00:40:33] Unknown:

is it a necessary   I mean, a lot a lot of people will disagree. Like, therapy   I can see extreme cases where therapy   is helpful and meaningful, but, like,   Jesus Christ, these fucking people who go to therapy. Like, I know guys who are like, you know, I'm doing therapy now. It's really helping me. I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about? You're doing therapy.  

[00:40:57] Unknown:

Like,   you're not doing therapy, are you? No. Okay. But the thing is is I never say anything about about it because   I never know when I may start.   I'm not saying I'm thinking about it or I have ever done it, but you never know. In five years, I might be like, well, therapy sounds like a good idea. But maybe just I'm here, man. You can talk to me. Yeah. Well, I'm I That's the thing about therapy is if you have a a reasonable friend in your life who you can talk to,  

[00:41:24] Unknown:

that's,  

[00:41:25] Unknown:

I think, better than Well, maybe people don't have reasonable friends. Well, that's their own goddamn problem.  

[00:41:30] Unknown:

Right? Yeah. Maybe they're the common denominator.   It usually works out that way. Right? Yeah.   Like, if you have all of these problems because you have all of these problems, well Yeah. You probably fucked up everything today. It's definitely you. Right? Yeah.  

[00:41:48] Unknown:

Yeah. You have these problems because you basically, after a while, you've been isolated because all your friends, because you're all fucked up. Yeah. And then you just end up you have to go talk to a therapist. Here's the thing is most people Or I'm talking out of my ass. I'm definitely talking out of my ass, but it seems in a lot of cases,  

[00:42:03] Unknown:

these people who need therapy just are dishonest people who cannot be honest with themselves   about anything.   Right?  

[00:42:11] Unknown:

Like, I'm aware of my problems. Yes. I I really am. And I admit them And you are you're good at at that. I have to admit, you are very good at being aware of your problems. It doesn't mean that I fix them. No. But being aware of them is really good in  

[00:42:24] Unknown:

Yeah. But I'm aware of them, and I I can see the trappings of them. This is why I don't understand, like Therapy.   Yeah. Therapy or when people can't recognize   when they're doing something fucked up. Well, okay. Well, that that's different. Especially when someone points it out to them. Yeah. But people aren't sometimes they're not ready.  

[00:42:43] Unknown:

You know, they have to I think they have to hear it from a professional.   You know, like, you can recognize that you have problems with yourself.   So you can   once you once you see that you have a problem,   you can work on it and stop it yourself. You don't need therapy for that. Now some people need to hear that from a professional,   and they have to believe them and trust them. But usually, that's why they're paying them so that they can feel good about what's going on. Takes 36 sessions. Yeah. Exactly. So once they finally tell them, then they're like, okay. Now that I know this about myself, I can do something about it. It's the same thing, like,   people have anxiety attacks.  

If you don't know what an anxiety attack is,   you you feel like you're dying, you know, and you have no clue what's going on, and you you think you're cracking up and everything's,   you know, terrible, you got some horrible disease, or you're you're not gonna make it. But as soon as you know that what you're having is an anxiety attack,   then anxiety attacks become a thing that you just deal with. So that's like you   being aware of your problems. Like, once you know and you can see it, you're fine even though you still have problems. Yeah. I guess I can see that. And I can see therapy for, like  

[00:43:58] Unknown:

like, let's say something really bad happens   in your life.   And I can recognize, like, maybe something happens in someone's life that wouldn't bother me,   but it really bothers them. Like, I can admit that that's possible. Right? Yeah.   I mean, you could just talk to your friend, like I said, but maybe you don't wanna lay that on your friend or you don't feel comfortable telling someone you know and you wanna get it off your chest and go talk to someone else. I guess I can understand it in that way.   But,   I guess my main gripe with therapy is kinda what you said is, are are these people really interested in helping you as quickly as possible,   or is it just another business?  

And I think it's another business.  

[00:44:41] Unknown:

What? Yeah. I definitely think it's a business too, but I think there are   I think it does help people. It's like, like astrology,  

[00:44:49] Unknown:

similar. Yeah. So I retract my earlier statement. I don't think therapy's   useless   or stupid, but I I think it's overused, and I think it's an excuse.   I think people make a lot of excuses to not fix themselves. I mean   I mean, do you know anyone who's of the opinion that,   I'm just this way. This is my personality, and there's no changing it. Like, I I know a lot of people who think that way. Yeah. And I think that's complete bullshit.   I mean, if you have a problem that alienates   good people in your life, then that's   that's   like, the excuse just can't be, well, it's just my personality. That's a shit excuse.  

Like, you should be able to   identify that. Right?   Like, in a cognitive manner.   Like, like  

[00:45:39] Unknown:

yeah. But   But then but maybe you can't. What if I don't know. What if what if things just can continue to happen to you? Like, you can't keep it in the front of your mind all the time. So it it constantly   the same shit just continuously happens to you even though you know you're that way.   Maybe maybe the onslaught of life causes you to never deal with it, and you just go, you know what?   I can't I can't deal with this, so  

[00:46:07] Unknown:

this is the way I am. Yeah. You know what? I guess You're right. That's you're I probably have some total bullshit. I probably have some issues that I haven't fixed that I know I should, but I don't use the excuse that,   it's my personality.  

[00:46:20] Unknown:

Yeah.   I think maybe you're right. That is probably total bullshit. Because once you know, you can't just you can't ignore it. Well, see, now I'm kinda coming around to disagreeing with my  

[00:46:30] Unknown:

myself.  

[00:46:31] Unknown:

But yeah. That'll be $35.   And what insurance do you carry?   It's pay as you go.  

[00:46:42] Unknown:

Yeah. So I don't know. I just I think people are assholes, generally. Do you know who's a real asshole?   I can name a few.  

[00:46:49] Unknown:

Like, I've seen clips from this guy recently.   You know him. He's like the   LeVar Burton of fucking,   science.  

[00:46:58] Unknown:

Neil deGrasse Tyson. Neil deGrasse Tyson. He's a piece of shit. Suck. He's such a cunt.   Have you ever seen   the Black Science Man No. Memes? Oh,   they're great. No.   Black Science Man. I'll pull one up for you, and I'm gonna make you look at it. Dude, Neale  

[00:47:15] Unknown:

deGrasse Tyson.  

[00:47:17] Unknown:

Well, he's a shill for the left.  

[00:47:20] Unknown:

I've seen him talking about the astronauts.  

[00:47:24] Unknown:

It's just like this.  

[00:47:30] Unknown:

You know, it'd be so much funnier if he was like that. Yeah.   It would be. Because, you know,   the way he comes off,   he just seems like such a cock. Well, did you see him on a  

[00:47:45] Unknown:

what's that guy's name? Bill Maher?   I did not. He was on Bill Maher and Bill Maher.  

[00:47:52] Unknown:

I can imagine because I've seen him on other shows, and he's probably the same on all of them. I think it was like a a trans  

[00:47:59] Unknown:

women in sports.   Okay. And, like,   Neil deGrasse Tyson just wouldn't admit,   you know, anything about it. So he's an astrophysicist,  

[00:48:08] Unknown:

and he can't admit   which part about women in sports like that. Like that it's a disadvantage for the actual women. Right. Because a man is built completely different. Yeah. And   Yeah. Can it can hurt a woman or   definitely outperform.  

[00:48:25] Unknown:

Right. And it was just a play on this, and that was I think Bill Maher's He couldn't He couldn't fucking admit it? No. He wouldn't. He was just like, well, there's actually studies that show. And Bill Maher's like, shut the fuck up, dude. He's like, come on.  

[00:48:37] Unknown:

I mean, you he the guys claims to be an astrophysicist, but he can't admit that that men are   stronger than women or can out compete them whenever it's women's rules.  

[00:48:46] Unknown:

Well, it's it's like my cousin who this is   from hearsay from my parents, so it could be bullshit. But,   she's a medical doctor,   and her husband   is   a pediatrician,   works with kids. Right?   Pervert,   basically.  

[00:49:07] Unknown:

Okay.   Worst doctor imaginable, pediatrician.   Okay.  

[00:49:12] Unknown:

But I think she I just hear I just hear pederasto nutrition.  

[00:49:16] Unknown:

Pederasto   nutrition. That's what I hear.  

[00:49:20] Unknown:

Yeah. I mean, ours looks goofy. Yeah. That looks.  

[00:49:28] Unknown:

This is a situation you can judge a book by your cover. Yeah. Why are you looking at these kids in buttholes and dicks?   Like, you're trying to jab them with 72 vaccines as soon as they pop out?  

[00:49:40] Unknown:

That's true.  

[00:49:41] Unknown:

You hear about the people, like, they'll they'll throw,   pediatricians will will, like,   eject you from their practice if you don't just get your kid the vaccine. Oh, yeah. We don't fucked. We'd argue   even in the beginning. In the beginning, it wasn't even In the beginning.   What's in that deleted thing?   Limited  

[00:50:23] Unknown:

edition.  

[00:50:33] Unknown:

This is the one. Anyways Here's   your host talking. In the beginning.  

[00:50:38] Unknown:

On a work call day and all, I can hear you. In the beginning.   In the beginning. I just was walking around the house saying it. I'm like, oh, I thought that I'd come through. In  

[00:50:49] Unknown:

in the  

[00:50:50] Unknown:

Oh, sorry. In  

[00:50:51] Unknown:

in the beginning.  

[00:50:53] Unknown:

What was I talking about? Pediatricians.   Oh, yeah. Just  

[00:50:57] Unknown:

kids   The fucking boomers would just take their kids. The dog is like, yeah. Give them a hundred shots. Who cares if they cry? Yeah. But it gets fucked up. Isn't it? Yeah. Like, I love my kid when they jab him six times in their hysterical. Yeah. I'm like, fuck. I don't know if we need to do all this today. Do we? Like, we come back in a week?   So we tried to we're like, hey. Could we just break these up a little? Like, we'll come back in a month. Oh, no. And there was a big stink. Oh, yeah.   And I don't like doctors, dude. Because when Sarah was all fucked up   with the first pregnancy, with the preeclampsia,   and they almost fucking killed her, I just   ever since then, as soon as I start talking to a doctor, I'm extremely,   like, ambivalent   right off the bat. Is that the right word? No. No. Ambivalent. What's ambivalent? I don't know. I just said no.  

Don't worry about it. Let's just say not nice. Yeah. I take an adverse tone   to the doctors,   and, that's what you have to do because they don't give a fuck about you. They just don't. How could they?  

[00:52:01] Unknown:

No. They got fucking bills to pay. Yeah.   Medical debt's piling up.  

[00:52:06] Unknown:

Yeah.   So, yeah, I mean, you're not gonna get good treatment unless you   basically   advocate for yourself or loved one. Right? Yeah.  

[00:52:15] Unknown:

That that,   that kid's vaccine schedule, like, I remember when   my kid was getting those shots, and I'll and I'm thinking the same thing. As soon as you hear how many they're getting, you're like,   this can't be right. This person is this Yeah. Big. You're giving them seven shots? Seven shots at a time or more, and each one has, like, three   different kinds of vaccines in it or something, you know. And then they're, like, come back in a in a month to get this second round. And you're, like,   what the hell is going like, there there's no reason for that. Like, I understand maybe you need to give   these kids some vaccines to, you know,   prevent some of these diseases, but what   why can't you wait   why can't you wait till they're,   you know, a couple months old, give them one shot, a week later, one shot, whatever. You know, maybe it's just convenience and people are fucking lazy. They're like, I don't wanna come back.  

The doctor doesn't wanna do it. They don't wanna they're they're  

[00:53:17] Unknown:

But then when I heard I don't remember the numbers now, but wasn't it like   in the eighties, there were, like, 18 vaccines you got? Now there's, like, 72 or 36.  

[00:53:26] Unknown:

Something fucking crazy. You got a small amount of vaccines in the eighties.   It is true. I don't know what it is because I was a kid, but I know that it you know, if I look at my immunization card, you got,   I don't know,   less than 10, I'd say. Yeah. You know? And then you got more over time. Like, there's a chicken pox one now. I had chicken pox. I remember  

[00:53:47] Unknown:

one of the few things I remember because I can't remember shit when I was a kid.   I got chicken pox. I stayed home. I ate ramen   and played fucking Mario Kart, and I was fine.  

[00:53:58] Unknown:

Yeah. Chicken pox was fine.   So what's the problem with getting chicken pox? I I I don't know. I was I was blown away when I heard there was a vaccine for chickenpox. Vaccine for chickenpox? Makes no sense. It doesn't. It Like, the flu vaccine never fucking taken that, dude. No way.   That's a scam. Bogus. It's a fucking scam.  

[00:54:19] Unknown:

It's absolutely a scam.  

[00:54:21] Unknown:

But but why is there a chicken pox vaccine?   It doesn't hurt you.   No. And if all the kids get it, it doesn't matter. Yeah.   So I'm not sure why they invented a chicken pox vaccine   or a or a measles vaccine. Measles wasn't something people were concerned about.   Measles was one of those diseases where kids were happy to stay home from school.   Like, people used to get measles and be like, oh, great.   I don't even feel that bad, and I get to stay home from school.   Yeah. It doesn't, And then now they try to scare you to say, like, measles is gonna come back and kill a bunch of people.  

[00:54:57] Unknown:

Well,   even if it does,   I don't know, man. I   isn't it hard to not get bitter as you get older?   Yeah. Because it's hard for me.  

[00:55:09] Unknown:

Yeah. Well, that's what happens with age. I guess so. One shit goes away. Nothing's funny anymore. You get bitter. You learn that the world is full of fucking pedophiles   Yep. And pediatricians.   Mediatricians.   Fucking Gandhi.   You still don't know if that's true. Is this still recording?

It's time for a whiz.  

[00:55:38] Unknown:

I do hate how   that's the thing about Hunter, though. I hate how he gets such a pass for fucking killing himself.   He wasn't just a drug addict.  

[00:55:47] Unknown:

I don't know, man. Look at Hunter. He   he took a look at the world around and where it was going, and he was like, fuck this. I'm out.  

[00:55:55] Unknown:

That's what they say.  

[00:55:59] Unknown:

If Hunter s Thompson was alive   right now,   he would be  

[00:56:05] Unknown:

an advocate for Donald Trump. I was just gonna ask, you think that'd be the case? I think so.  

[00:56:15] Unknown:

Reluctantly,   like most people. We rolling?   Yeah. Reluctantly, like most people. But still, he would he'd take a look around, and he would say, I can't support these people. Look at this fucking moron.   Like,   when your hero   was going to be Kamala Harris, how could anybody take you seriously ever again in life?  

[00:56:37] Unknown:

They can't.   Although, I was   still am attracted to her. I'd   I'd give it to her.  

[00:56:44] Unknown:

Oh, she's definitely attractive. Yeah.  

[00:56:46] Unknown:

I mean, she's more the type of woman I just wanna bury my head between her legs for whatever reason. What kind of panties you think she wears?   I mean, she's a dumb woman. She's gotta be slutty. Right?  

[00:56:59] Unknown:

Yeah. Well, I think she was known for that. That's how she got to where she was.  

[00:57:03] Unknown:

Isn't she married to a white guy? Yeah. I think.   What do you think she do? Did Jews get circumcised, or did they not get circumcised? I can never remember. I think Jews are  

[00:57:12] Unknown:

the reason for circumcision.  

[00:57:14] Unknown:

Really?   Yes. We did save money on clothing size or something? I don't know.  

[00:57:20] Unknown:

I think it's because of a hygiene thing originally.  

[00:57:23] Unknown:

Is that what they said? Yeah?  

[00:57:25] Unknown:

Yeah.   Do you have anything where, like, they put their mouth around the baby's penis? Yeah.   Is that true? Yeah.

And they're like, what if that was, like, Hitler's whole thing? He's like, what? Is that they're doing what? It's like, we gotta stop these fucking people,   which is very funny. That is funny.  

[00:58:07] Unknown:

People   people   don't think   jokes about Jews and Hitler is funny. It is funny. But yeah. No. That's the thing about that's the thing about jokes is, like, there has to be some truth. Yeah. But the rabbis  

[00:58:20] Unknown:

or the Moils, I think. Right? I don't know. Think the Moils are the one who cut the dick skin off. They would clean it with their mouths.   And that is still common practice today, I think, in the Hasidic community. And most pediatricians. And most pediatricians. Yeah.  

[00:58:35] Unknown:

Oh, man. That is fucking crazy.   Yeah. So that's fucked up. What are you gonna do? Did did your dad ever have the birds and bees talk with you?  

[00:58:45] Unknown:

Okay.   You told me, well, it's nice when you eat meat or which way?   When you say you, was that the proverbial you or It was the proverbial you. You were referring to me. Yeah. It was, the proverbial you as,   they'd like they think it would be a good service to read obituaries   because   why should the Herald Standard have   monopoly on obituaries?   That's true. You know, if we read obituaries   now I don't mean read the whole thing. Like, let's say why don't we just mention the people maybe where they're from?  

[01:03:59] Unknown:

[01:04:03] Unknown:

But here's the thing, if we get   if we get it,   what if they pay us to read obituaries? We do need the money. Because do you know how much it costs to put an obituary in the paper?  

[01:04:31] Unknown:

[01:04:46] Unknown:

4 hundred dollars. Yep. It's per word too. You have more words to us. Yeah. Let's say let's say you put like, we put my mother's in $400.  

[01:04:53] Unknown:

4 hundred bucks. How'd you take that?   I mean, were you like, we don't need an inventory? Do you wanna hear about the war I have with the cemetery? I do. Oh. Cemetery wherein?  

[01:05:03] Unknown:

I got the woman fired. In Florida? No. In in,   Bronx. Yes. Well, she was a horrible cunt.   Whore?   Most likely a whore, but also a horrible cunt. Was she Italian? Why'd you get her married? She was Colombian.   Colombian? Yeah. She was a woman of color. Well, she's gone now. Most likely.  

[01:05:21] Unknown:

So you getting her fired really is not a big deal.  

[01:05:25] Unknown:

Don't   don't get me started on that. You want me   Yeah. My listen. I I would I would. Alright. Here's my family. Okay? So my dad   my dad bought a plot  

[01:05:38] Unknown:

I need another beer.  

[01:05:40] Unknown:

My dad bought a plot of land back in the eighties.  

[01:05:43] Unknown:

Bones. Yeah. Aaron.   Right?  

[01:05:47] Unknown:

What? Like he was purpled. A plot of land or like a plot? A grave plot? A grave plot. Yeah.   Yeah. He was behind. They well, they didn't my family didn't buy land.   That's what I meant. I meant a Polish plot of land.   A plot where you plan to die.   So   He took care of it.   So he he bought he bought this. He bought it for himself and, I'm guessing, my mother   where they went in together. And   somewhere along the way, you know, over the years, he decided he was gonna get cremated, but he still had this plot of land.   But my dad wasn't gonna let that go away, so he tried to sell it to me   because   Well, I know you still want him.  

So he's trying to sell me his gravesite that he bought purchased at the Lafayette Memorial Park   because he decided he wanted to get cremated. Right? He's changed his mind.   So so I refused because I was like, no. I don't wanna buy your gray you know, your son because, you know, I'm young. I'm hip. I'm I'm getting cremated.   Yeah.   And just like my dad, he finally caught on. He was getting cremated. I'm getting cremated. I said, no. I don't want your plot. You're getting cremated. The fuck you said I'm getting?   Yeah. So I denied him, you know, and but my dad not, you know, unable to sell this,   little piece in the Lafayette Memorial Cemetery,   decided went back home. He's like, what the fuck am I gonna do now? Yeah. Well, so my dad wasn't gonna give this up. So what he did was in his will, he said, cremate me   and put me in the hole.  

Well, so so keep my ass. So my dad got sidebar here. Yeah. I worked at the Catholic cemetery for  

[01:07:31] Unknown:

five years.   Cutting grass? Cutting grass and burying burying people, dude. Burying bitches. Did you? Yeah.   Oh, so we have some insight into the rest of my story. Yeah. So at least the Catholics,   for a long time, you could buy one plot   to put two urns in.   And then while I was there, it was a big controversy. They changed it. Yeah. You had to buy two. You had to buy two plots. Yeah.   Whether it was a whether it were a body or an urn. Yeah. And that was a big fight. But,   yeah, I mean, the   the business of dead people and what happens to them is a lot of money.  

[01:08:07] Unknown:

Yeah. And it's a scam. It is a scam.   So you okay. I'm guessing you worked weekends for this place ever? Did you work weekends? Yeah. Okay. On weekends, did you get paid more money? No. But I did cook the book every time and put extra hours on Okay. For the camp of the church. Yeah.   So   what happened was,   my dad gets thrown in a hole, you know, because he could never sell his gravesite.   Okay. Which I don't get because your ashes are down in an or, you know, an urn. And then what and then you have to buy the vault to put the urn in because they don't wanna come out. Expensive.   I mean, give me a break. Alright. So I didn't know any of this. My mom dies   sixteen years later. So I go and my mother has told me everything's arranged. I've purchased everything. You don't have to worry about a thing. Okay. So I believe her.  

Well,   the cemeteries,   they have a different plan. You know, they make people think they've got everything paid for. But when you pay for it twenty years beforehand   and then you go on the day when they need paid, well, they want paid more. Oh, prices have gone up. Yeah. Yeah. So the way they do this, they locked in in thing? No. It's not locked in, which you'd think it'd be, but it's not. So they extract more money from you. So okay.   My mother has paid for the plot of land.   Not a plot of land, a gravesite.   Sorry. A Polish plot of land.  

And,   she wants to run-in the hole next to my father. You know? I don't know why.   They hated each other, but, you know, she obviously wanted to annoy him in death as she did. I didn't wanna ask.   Do you think your  

[01:09:52] Unknown:

you think your dad up in heaven when she died, he was like, fuck. Yes.  

[01:09:57] Unknown:

He definitely He's gonna deal with this shit? Yeah. He was probably having a great fucking time. He was at the heavenly bar down at the fucking Catholic War veterans. He was like, what what did you say? Peter, what?  

[01:10:07] Unknown:

Who died?  

[01:10:09] Unknown:

I don't remember.   I I could be completely honest. I did read The Jungle and loved it.   But anyways, back to the   how did this lady fuck you over? Janusz.  

[01:11:16] Unknown:

So I go to the   Lafayette Memorial Park where my mother wants to be buried next to my father in a gravesite that they purchased seventeen, twenty, twenty five years ago. You know what I mean? Like, quite a while ago. My dad died sixteen years ago,   but he clearly purchased that way before that and my mother was involved. So I go. I'm like, okay.   I'm gonna bring me my mother's ashes up here on this day and I'm gonna have a a

So I waited, like, a month.   I talked to my sister and I finally just decided, listen. I'm just gonna get this done. I'm gonna call up. I'm just gonna pay the money. I'm gonna put my mom in the ground because that's what she wants. She wants to be next to my dad. My sister wants this done. I want this done. And my sister was like, I I don't blame you if you don't do it. But I was like, no. We got people coming. We gotta get this She was older than you or younger?   My mother was older than me. No. Your sister.  

Do you know the answer to that question? My yeah. My sister is, she's seven years older than me. Okay. Which   makes me a mistake, but  

[01:20:11] Unknown:

Well, me   too. Well, no. My mom   my sister has a different dad than I do.   No shit. Yeah. And he   was a Jew.  

[01:20:22] Unknown:

Great guy, though. No wonder you hate me.  

[01:20:25] Unknown:

He loved ham,   and he would come over for Christmas and, Self loathe her. Yeah. My dad would bless the ham to make it kosher.  

[01:20:37] Unknown:

Yeah. I don't think your dad has the power to bless the ham. No. He doesn't. He thinks he does.  

[01:20:43] Unknown:

Got one over on the Jews. Yep. You always gotta get one over on the Jews.  

[01:20:47] Unknown:

So   so finally,   I finally called back a month later, and some different girl answers the phone. And I was like, listen. What's her name? I don't remember her name. I wish I did because I'd call her out, but she was a total bitch.   A belayla something. And she and I said, hey.   I'm calling to pay this extra fee, whatever, that whatever. And and she was like, oh,   we let her go. Nice. And I was like, oh, yeah? And she's like, yeah. There were some issues. And I said, oh, I bet you I know what those issues were. You know? And she's like, yeah. Was bad. Johnny Johnny. So I went in and it turns out that   a friend of mine has actually taken over the the,   this this cemetery.  

And, you know, he was there on the day that I went back to pay because I was just gonna go back and pay, but I wanna he was there on the day that I paid. And it turns out it was in the contract. It says,   in fine print on the back of this thing, it says if it's on the weekend, it's more money. Well, so you were wrong. No. I was not wrong because she never said that to me. We had already done the deal. Right. The dates were on the thing. She just forgot to tell me and then mentioned it after I had signed. And this is why they let her go?   Well, there there was I guess there was plenty of other issues that they've had with this woman. That was just one of them, and they knew why I was complaining about her. Okay. There you go. So I go back, and the guy that owns the is now or now managing the cemetery and stuff, he was like, yeah. She's been a problem. We we let her go. She was horrible, and he was like, give me a discount. You know, he he made it right, which is cool. So Johnny got a discount out of it. Surprise. Surprise.  

Congratulations.  

[01:22:25] Unknown:

Alright. I'm gonna grab  

[01:22:28] Unknown:

So, you know, if I was to say anything, I'd say your Lafayette Memorial   Park is   not the rip off of what I initially thought it was. And if your parents have purchased a plot of land, Polish plot of land,   and ensure they sell it, wait long before they get cremated because   my parents   were too cheap   to go into the great beyond   and leave their,   leave money on the table. I don't agree with even being buried when you're cremated anyways. No. Why would you be buried when you're cremated? Makes no sense. No. It doesn't. And both my parents did it.   They're they are cremated and in a hole in Brownsville.  

There you go. Where else would you wanna be?  

[01:23:14] Unknown:

Can you even get into heaven that way?  

[01:23:17] Unknown:

Well, I think that I think there's a fee whenever you pay off of Memorial Park, get you in heaven. Well, what day we starting with here, Johnny?  

[01:23:25] Unknown:

Friday?   Yesterday?  

[01:23:31] Unknown:

Yeah. I'd say I'd start with, whatever story you like. Harold Standard. Well   Oh, hold on a sec. Shapiro. That's Josh Shapiro. Is that his name? This is your Pennsylvania   governor? Yes. Go ahead.   You were ranting about this role? I said Josh Shapiro looks like  

[01:23:48] Unknown:

a closeted cross eyed man. He always looks like he's   straining to keep his eyes straight.  

[01:23:54] Unknown:

I don't even know what he looks like. Well, he's Jewish,  

[01:23:57] Unknown:

I believe. Right? I think that's why I didn't run him for president.  

[01:24:02] Unknown:

Oh, this is the guy that they should have picked instead of Tim Walz.   Is that it?   Yes. Yeah. He was in the running. He was in the running. I did not realize that. Yep.   I tell you what, Tim Walz was that guy was a fucking piece. Tim Walz was a piece of shit. Just a liar.  

[01:24:17] Unknown:

But it's okay to be a liar if you're not running for vice president. Oh, he was fucking terrible. Well, it depends what you lie about. You can lie about important things, but you can't lie about dumb shit.   Like, the what did he say? He was at Tiananmen Square? Is that right? Yeah. He was at Tiananmen Square. But he wasn't. He definitely was not.   Then he gave that big word salad  

[01:24:37] Unknown:

excuse. Yeah. Oh, I was there in the spring. He was kinda there. I was there in the spirit. I was there in the spirit. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know what that means. He worked for USAID.  

[01:24:46] Unknown:

That sounds like a guy who missed the birth of his child. I was like, why was I was I really gave a shit about it. You know? Yeah. He was just at home being a good Midwestern,  

[01:24:55] Unknown:

just   a podunk guy working on his Jeep and missed the birth of his child.  

[01:25:00] Unknown:

Governor Josh Shapiro wants the Laurel Caverns to become a state park.   Laurel Caverns is doing fine now. Have you been there recently, Johnny?   I was there in the previous two years. I I I had been there. Yeah. It's very nice. Right? Yeah. It's lovely. So do we really need the government stepping in to fuck it all up?  

[01:25:20] Unknown:

So they made it a a what? A a state park? They want to make it a state park. They wanna make it a state park, you know, it wasn't before.   Okay. So   Laurel Caverns has been   pretty much,   it's been clean. It's been maintained.   It's been really nice for at least fifteen years. Now I can't say before that, but It's been owned by the same people though. Yeah. For at least fifteen years, I can   oh, it's been in the family? Okay.   I will say that it has been in great shape  

[01:25:54] Unknown:

Private property. As many times as I've been there in the last twenty years. And it's kinda like a hidden gem. Right? It is. It's People know about it, but if it's a state park, now it's gonna be on every goddamn website and Yes.  

[01:26:05] Unknown:

And it is it is beautiful. I mean, you go down there. It's you drive up on Skyline Drive. You drive down over the hill.   They have stuff for kids.   Yeah. It's it's beautiful.   You go down in there. There's plenty of stuff to do. Every the kids love it. Doesn't cost very much. So  

[01:26:22] Unknown:

Well, this article is by our,   Philadelphia   buddy, Zach Petrov.  

[01:26:27] Unknown:

Yeah.   I'm not even sure if Zach Petrov is a Uniontown native anymore. I've heard some I've heard some things. Well, Zach, if you hear this, please reach out.  

[01:26:37] Unknown:

Well, Zach says, while it may have taken generations, it seems like He'll reach out with a cease and desist. He will. Well, it seems   I can't read tonight. While it may have taken generations in here. It seems that the Laurel Caverns will finally be recognized as a state park.   Every single owner, along with so many people in the community, have worked to advance this concept of preserving the Laurel Caverns,   said David Kale, co owner and president of Laurel Caverns   Conservancy.   Oh, wow. So the Laurel Caverns people want this to be a state park.  

[01:27:09] Unknown:

Well, I'd like to say it probably takes a little bit off their back.  

[01:27:14] Unknown:

Everyone who's owned this has always thought this is a park that should be and needs to be preserved. So well, there you go. I guess,   if the owners want it to be that way, I can't I can't say much.  

[01:27:24] Unknown:

I'll end it there. Funny story about Laurel Caverns.   What happened in Laurel Caverns? Nothing. Nothing. But right over the hill, if you drive out the road a little bit and you drive down. Off wood? And you drive down Quebec Road, I think it's Quebec Road, you can go to Barton's Cave.   And Barton's Cave is off the map. It is definitely not a state park nor is it maintained by anybody. Are there lights?   No.   But if you take acid Yeah. And you go in that cave   and you turn you make sure all your flashlights are off,   you can see a great  

[01:28:01] Unknown:

freaking show. Was this you and Charlie?  

[01:28:03] Unknown:

This is me and pretty much   all my friends in high school. We used to visit Barton's Cave often, and I'm talking in the winter, the spring, the summer. In the in the winter, we used to go caving. Autumn too?   I I feel like that's the best time to do this. I don't understand the word autumn. Fall.   Fall. Okay.   October time frame. Oh. Oh. Oh. Halloween. When the leaves fall. Yeah. When the leaves fall. Leaves fall time is what we call it in Fayette County. Leaves fall time. Yeah. Yeah. So   turns out that's probably the best time to go. But when we were in high school, we used to go caving in Bartons Cave.   And, you know, because it's 50 degrees. So even in, like, on the coldest days, me and a bunch of my friends, we would drive up there with flashlights. So we're getting a bunga bunga down there?  

That's a good joke.  

[01:28:57] Unknown:

Serious questions.  

[01:28:59] Unknown:

No bunga bunga. Damn.   So, we would take hardhats, you know, like all of our dads were   minors or welders or whatever. So everybody had a hardhats and shit. And we'd take them up there and go in with, like, extra batteries and flashlights. We go in this cave for hours and,   you know, go spelunking as they call it.   And,   you know, it's quite a few times and there's, like, I don't know, six, twelve of us back in there. Eight, six, eight, 12 of us back in there. And some people's flashlights would be dying. It would be, like, two hours in this cave.   That's pretty well fucked that that one. We would be crawling out, and dude's flashlights would be going dead,   you know? So they didn't have a flashlight. They'll be, like,   you know, you see you're going in two hours, and you're coming out two hours. And you got it like an old, like, nineteen nineties flashlight on Like a Magnavox. With some Rayovac batteries and, you know, that   nobody tested.  

So some of us would bring extra battery. I mean, I did because I've I read some goddamn,  

[01:29:56] Unknown:

HP Lovecraft. There's no way I was getting stuck in a cave. You don't wanna get stuck in a cave. Anytime I read a story about, like, a guy who dies in a cave, I'm like, well, fuck him. He why'd he do that? Yeah. What are you doing down there, you dummy? Like, they're like, well, you see he crawled through and got to this point where you have to exhale   all the air out of your body just squeeze through. Listen. Like, there's there's some spots. Then the whole mountainside shifted. Dude, there are some spots.   Yeah. You know, it's bad when, like, yeah, we had to leave his body there   for the rats to eat. Yeah.  



[01:30:30] Unknown:

Dude, it was cool, though. Like, we would go in. Like I said, there'd be guys crawling out with no light. But when you're in there, there are spots where the hole is   it's it's this big and this high. Yeah. I wouldn't do that. And,   and then there are sections where you're climbing, like, on your stomach,   like, a 200   feet in a stream   in a hole this big and this wide, you're shooting it, and you're going uphill until you get to the next room. What's the point, though? What's fun about it? Well, I mean, we're in high school.   I mean, we're there's nothing to do. We live here.  

See, we just drank What were we gonna do? We just drank on the tracks.   In the place, though. Yeah. You're you're right. This is this is what this is the difference between drunks and,   people who are eating Dexter drink. Dexter drink.   So so we do that in the winter. And then in the summertime,   we'd we would go up and we'd have we'd all, get dropped off, you know, and,   we would eat acid because you're in the Who dropped you off?   Different people's dads. It's like, oh, John. There's one guy, John   I'll call him John Allen.  

[01:31:43] Unknown:

You think one of those guys give your dad the idea to  

[01:31:46] Unknown:

sell his cemetery plot to you? No. My dad didn't talk to any of my friend's fathers. Smart. None of them. Your dad sounds like the shit, man. Yeah.   My dad was the shit. My dad knew everybody in Uniontown, but my dad had no connections.  

[01:32:00] Unknown:

Sweet.   Like because he wasn't an Italian.  

[01:32:04] Unknown:

We used to go I remember we used to go to the store when I was a kid.   You know, I'm I'm I'm a little kid, you know, my dad, you know, we'd be going to Ames or Kmart or, you know,   Farm and Fleet. A and P? A and P. And we'd be walking in and, like, my dad my dad you know, I'm little, and he'd turn and be like, goddamn it. Like, he's like, I know this guy. And, like, we go walking up to some guy. He and I'm talking to this guy for, like, a half an hour. You know? And I would just be standing there next to my dad listening to talk to this guy, you know? Yeah. Do you remember All of the stuff, and then, like, we'd walk away from this guy half an hour after walking through a parking lot. He'd be like he's like, I fucking hate that guy. Yeah. See, now,  

[01:32:41] Unknown:

what changed? Because I would never make my kid   stick around to talk to someone.   Like, I would use my child as as an excuse to not talk to someone. Yeah. But when I was a kid,   the parents are just like, hey, shut the fuck up. I'm gonna talk to this person   for an hour.  

[01:32:57] Unknown:

Yeah. Well, I mean, my dad I don't think I don't think I That was your mom. I didn't complain, so my, you know, my dad never had to say shut the fuck up. I'm gonna talk to this person. But my dad also did not and and I know what you're saying,   but I was just standing there quietly. And my dad would not and my dad would probably prefer that I make a scene so that he would be like, oh, I gotta take care of this little bastard. But I just stood there quietly because my dad was taking me into   Ames, you know, and he was cool as hell, and I liked hanging out with him. And so I just listened to him talk to a guy and have a half an hour about what the hell is going on in Hillman Barge and and to Catholic War veterans. I am a complainer. I remember when That is true. For me. And my mom was. Well, I don't know. I guess I had some good times when I was Do you remember She took me to hospital

Yeah.   Frank   was asking questions, and I was like,   how the fuck is this guy asking these questions? Like, these people are fucking idiots, and you were like, please don't ruin this for me. Like, I just got you this job,   and it's our first day. Please just stop ruining this for me. You it took you no time. Fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes for you to mention. I hated  

[01:34:14] Unknown:

You weren't wrong. Okay. They still call you a cancer at that place. Who calls me a cancer?   Hit a nerve. Thank god. Robert fucking calls you a cancer. Robert   Yeah. Well He says that Phil was a fucking cancer.   We gotta get those two results on.   Lou's out there right now. Oh, yeah. What the fuck is Lou doing out there right now? Fuck Lou.

Yeah.   Except for us. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? Like, we worked there. I forgot about that story. We thought that they wanted the plant to stay online. Yeah. So we worked our ass off for six months, and then we realized nobody gives a shit.

We need a good news story, though. You know what? I was fucking tired of, like, looking for jobs and fucking filling up applications.   I just never wanted to deal with the the, like, modern life again. Because, you know, it was all changing around that time.   You know, the way you've got jobs, the way you had to active jobs, I just didn't want anything to do with it ever again.  

[01:36:09] Unknown:

Well,   it's fucking time. I was talking about spelunking, goddamn it. Well, how do we get here?   More winter weather ahead as Punxsutawney Phil sees its shadow. Why do we still do this?   The last good thing about Punxsutawney Phil was the Bill Murray movie. Is Bill Murray still alive? Yes. Of course he is. He loves the Growlers.

But when I was a kid, we weren't allowed to watch it because it was a rich person's program. That's that was my   primary connection with No. It wasn't too enlightened. See, my parents had the the, the the prescience to actually   realize that we were only supposed to watch poor people shows because rich people ain't funny. What's a poor person's show? Sanford and Son. Sanford and Son?

[01:39:34] Unknown:

I think I think Hitler was interested in fucking speedballs.   Well,  

[01:39:38] Unknown:

Hitler was a piece of shit. Let's get that straight. We're not gonna we're not Hitler apologist here.  

[01:39:44] Unknown:

Right? I'm not I'm not a Hitler. Why'd you why was that so accusatory? No. No. I just No. I don't think I'm not a Hitler apologist. I don't know what I think Hitler's main goal was to stay hopped up on fucking heroin and methamphetamine. I said no way we were taking the podcast. I don't blame him. But   Yeah. He's pretty much just the same boat as Richard Pryor.   He's black guy?   No. No. No. He wasn't   even a brown Well, no. Richard Pryor was known and he, like, hated himself for it, though. Like, he didn't have, like, the blue eyes and blonde hair. Are we gonna read any articles?

[01:40:35] Unknown:

this is what's called a regression,   I've been told. Alright.  

[01:40:40] Unknown:

Okay. Here we go. Abandoned Mindfire and hold on. Let me back up. Alright. Abandoned Mindfire like Tuesday. Tuesday, February 4,   '80 '4 thousand readers each week, Herald Standard.   You believe that?  

[01:40:55] Unknown:

Still at home? I believe a goddamn word of that. 87,000  

[01:40:57] Unknown:

new IRS agents under Joe Biden. What do you believe that? Well, Trump fired them all. Thank God.  

[01:41:03] Unknown:

Did he? Actually, I haven't heard if he's gonna have a damn word about that.  

[01:41:08] Unknown:

The May okay. Abandoned Mindfire and Fair Chance Extinguished by Paul Paterra.  

[01:41:14] Unknown:

Paul Patera? Yeah. You think he was a friend of Bill Koslovitch?  

[01:41:19] Unknown:

Actually, that might have been his sidekick. I think it was.   What was that guy's name? The mayor of Fair Chance is happy and quite relieved that a fire in an abandoned mine did not turn into a dangerous situation in the borough, especially since there was a home located near the site of the fire.   Here's a quote.   I'm just glad they got it,   Thomas Tanner said Monday. It started going towards that house.   It's probably about twenty, thirty feet away when they got her out.   Where it was on fire, there was no mineshaft.   That was a good sign. My main concern was it going toward that house. If it went to the house, those people coulda lost their home.  

So   I saw this clip on YouTube. See, these are the kinda good   down home stories we need. Yeah. So I saw this clip on YouTube.   They were interviewing the mayor. They came out.   Turns out that somebody caught   a coal seam on fire beneath you know, while they were burning garbage, much like the Centralia fire. Is that how that started? This started back in September,  

[01:42:26] Unknown:

but nobody had reported it. Right around the same time you were dealing  

[01:42:31] Unknown:

with the area. Lafayette Memorial Park. Yeah. So   I guess somebody   finally confirms that it's on fire and   they hired a company. I I probably could read this article a little more and figure out what company they hired to come.   They dug it up.   They, you know, they dug out, like, 30 feet of earth.   They extinguished the fire,   you know, which was coal, you know, was definitely burning coal. And, heading towards a local mine, which,   I'm not sure which mine here. I could probably find it, but I have to flip through the paper. But and then they totally reclaimed the area. They put all the dirt back. You know, they made sure everything was good. They planted grass. And the mayor, Fair Chance, was  

[01:43:23] Unknown:

very happy about this. Was that the mayor you were quoting? Yes. It was the mayor, I believe. House about twenty, thirty feet away?  

[01:43:30] Unknown:

Maybe that wasn't the mayor. It was just Thomas Tanner.  

[01:43:33] Unknown:

But These names don't sound   real.   What was the coroner's name last week? Bob Baker?   Is that right?  

[01:43:45] Unknown:

How do you remember that? It probably was Bob Baker. Well, here here's another Annie Lane.  

[01:43:52] Unknown:

Annie looking   fine as usual.   Dear Annie,   sister's wedding is stealing bonding time.   This is why we didn't have a real wedding. I I can't.  

[01:44:07] Unknown:

Phil,   you know what? I get the feeling. This dear Annie column is AI generated.   Could be.   But

it does   touch a special part   of my heart with   whatever fucking assholes write in that's a newspaper for how desperate do you have to be to write into the newspaper? Jesus Christ. That's what I'm saying. It's AI generated. Nobody's writing into the newspaper.  

[01:44:35] Unknown:

Well, let's suppose,  

[01:44:38] Unknown:

dear sad sister is.   Dear Annie,   my sister Laura, we'll call her, and I've always been close.   But ever since she got engaged,   there's been a bit of a distance.   She's constantly busy with wedding planning. And when we do talk, all she wants to discuss is flowers,   seating charts on her bachelorette party.   I'm happy for her, but at a certain point, it feels like she has forgotten   that I have problems and things to discuss too.   The world doesn't revolve around her wedding, exclamation point. Now the final straw came last week   when I asked if,   she were still on the go   or if she was still on the go to the farmer's market like we had planned. Laura laughed and said, I don't have time for that right now. I get that weddings are stressful, but it feels like I'm no longer important in her life. Well, what do you think of this?  



[01:45:30] Unknown:

Wow. Okay. Jesus  

[01:45:32] Unknown:

should be what they are. It's crazy to me.  

[01:45:36] Unknown:

I'm acting Well, first off, the the the girl who's having the wedding is putting way too much effort into it. Right. Like, she should be focusing on   just getting married   and,  

[01:45:50] Unknown:

you know, making a life with her, with her husband. But even that, I've always I have a very dim view of people who look at getting married as,   like, a big   deal.   The only big deal is is you could get fucked financially. That's it. I mean,   like, having a kid's a big deal.   You know?   But getting married is just fucking stupid. It's no different than having a girlfriend or a boyfriend. Yeah. Just state recognizes it. Yeah. So, I mean,   a go on record now is just Makes ladies feel good. I guess it does, but it's just so dumb. Like, anyone who looks at a wedding as a monumental step in your life and a big deal is a complete asshole.   I didn't have a wedding. We got married at the courthouse, and that's how it should be.  

That's working out good. Sure is.  

[01:46:39] Unknown:

So what about the sister? So the sister is bitching that her sister is making life decisions   and doesn't have time for her. I mean,   come on. You gotta you gotta lighten up a little bit, sister.   So, the last part of her bitching is You have to understand. Your sister is trying to do one of the most important things in her life. Right. But it shouldn't be considered important. No. It shouldn't definitely should not be taken away from the time of your life. So if the  

[01:47:08] Unknown:

single loser sister wrote it and said,   I think weddings are stupid, and I don't understand why   she's so amped up about this. I'd be all about it. But Yeah. That's what she should have said. But she's not saying that. And, she says, I wanna support AI generated.   But, also, I want to address how I feel without adding to her stress.   How do I talk to her about this without sounding selfish?   What's Andy say?   Weddings can be all consuming, especially for the bride, but luckily, this season won't last forever. So they're just gonna totally wait and,   you know, try not to be a cunt for   however many more months till the wedding.  

Yeah. I hope   the sister getting married gets divorced,   badly. Hope it's, like, a bad situation, like, the husband cheats, and I hope, the sister not getting married never finds any love. That's my  

[01:48:02] Unknown:

Truth comes out. Fuck them both. You are a cynical bastard.   Yo.   Alright.   Hold on a second.   Okay.   How about dear Heloise?  

[01:48:16] Unknown:

Heloise.  

[01:48:18] Unknown:

Is it Heloise or Heloise? I don't know. We talked about this last time. Is that an h?   Heloise,   h e l o I s e.   But that woman likes mayonnaise. Okay. So this is like tips. Right?   The last time she had a tip about   carrying   a door a doorstop in your purse instead of a gun. And a rape whistle. Yeah. And a rape yeah. Yeah. Brief discussion about a rape whistle.  

[01:48:42] Unknown:

Okay. If anyone can write in about their experiences with rape whistles,   please please feel free.   This   this portion of the paper should not exist.  

[01:48:56] Unknown:

I'm not reading this. This is garbage. Come on. What's the tip? Dude,   this is dumb. This whole section of the newspaper is dumb. It's just meant to fill   fill,   space. Let's move on. Lawsuit blames deaths on twenty twenty three train derailment.   East Palestine, Ohio. In this photo taken with a drone, portions of Norfolk Southern freight train that derailed the previous night in East Palestine, Ohio remain on fire at midday February fourth twenty twenty three.   East Palestine, Ohio, a lawsuit alleging for the first time that people died   because of the disastrous 2023 East Palestine   train derailment has been filed ahead of Monday's second anniversary of the toxic crash near the Ohio, Pennsylvania border amid a flurry of new litigation.  

On Monday, vice president JD Vance is visiting the small community near the crash site that he used to represent as a senator along with president Donald Trump's newly confirmed head of environmental protection agency Lee Zeldin. It's not yet clear how much pressure the Trump administration will put on the roads to continue improving safety, whether they will push for the   Bill Vance coauthored in response to the derailment.  

[01:50:07] Unknown:

Well, why can't they just come out and   tell these people that they're sacrificial and that was the whole point of their town in the first place?   Well   I mean, I don't believe that, but  

[01:50:23] Unknown:

I mean I mean, is this is   it now I haven't thought about this much since that happened, but  

[01:50:30] Unknown:

these people were obviously left on their own and totally screwed over. Oh, yeah. They got fucked. Whatever those what were the chemicals that went in   to the water, the forever chemicals   I that you can't get rid of? I don't have enough polyethylene   words in my vocabulary to describe these chemicals. Yeah. Well, I can't remember what it was, but it was forever chemicals that, you know, gets you you you can't get rid of them. Now they're in the water. No matter what you do, they're there.   So these poor people were fucked. It's like people in Flint, Michigan with the  

[01:51:03] Unknown:

Yeah. Lead in the water. Right? I mean, this is what the government is for, is to keep   These types of things. Management. Yeah.  

[01:51:12] Unknown:

And they cost it and Yeah.   Yeah. Because,   I mean, railroads, that's   interstate commerce   falls under the federal government's purview   for the interstate commerce clause,   and they should be handling this,  

[01:51:28] Unknown:

and they're not. They they've just ignored it. Right? I'm guessing there's absolutely nobody from the federal government in East Palestine.   No. Well, JD Vance now. Well, yeah. But, I mean, that's probably a photo op.   Well, I don't know. These people are in his district. I bet you he he probably has some sort   of stake in this. So he is gonna probably try to do something. But I  

[01:51:52] Unknown:

I mean, too little too late at this point.   What else does the article say?  

[01:52:00] Unknown:

Oh, it's there's a lot of questions here.   What compensation does the town receive? Some nearby residents have started to receive personal injury payments as part of a class action settlement.   Nearly half of the settlement remains on hold while some appeal for higher compensation and more information about the contamination.   The main payments of up to 70,000   per household won't go out till the appeal is settled.   70,000 is pretty good. Last week, Norfolk Southern agreed to a $22,000,000   settlement for East Palestine that includes 13,500,000.   The railroad has already provided for upgrades to the water treatment plant to replace police and fire equipment.  

Alright. So the railroad is paying to upgrade the water treatment plant, which I'm guessing is   probably a number one priority is get your water clean again. Right? I mean, I would buy Culligan for a year to get  

[01:52:48] Unknown:

$70.  

[01:52:49] Unknown:

I would I would drive outside of East Palestine, Ohio to buy a pallet of Tyler Mountain.   Let's hear it. Good morning. Hell, Vietnam. Come here. Good morning, Vietnam.   Nice.  

[01:53:09] Unknown:

This is gonna be the worst episode, yeah?  

[01:53:14] Unknown:

I don't think so at all.  

[01:53:17] Unknown:
