Starting point is 00:00:00 Skunkshan, saxophone, seasons, splinter. Beep, be one out there's got to be one out there. I know our listeners, someone's gotten sucked into a good ska band in 2025. You don't need a new sky band because all the old scot bands are still there. They've already done it. Yeah, so you can't make it any better than it already was. That's fair. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:02:06 dark sense of humor like you head over to patreon.com slash can you don't podcast um anything else i mean i feel like we i'm so glad you do that what that intro because you would just oh my god it'd be a disaster you think my reading's bad free balling it might just going through stuff like that and just talking, oh, it'd be a disaster. Can't read, can't talk, can't draw. Yep. God.
Starting point is 00:02:31 You're a triple threat, man. I'm okay in spurts. Like, you give me 10 seconds to get something out. I'm okay. Anything past that, I'm fumbling. That's what she said. I'm like, I'm like Leon lead at the goal line.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Oh, nice. That's a reference for anybody for lead fans. The last time the Cowboys did anything. Yeah. Leon Lett. Oh, Letts fans. Yeah, the Dallas Cowboys. when he was getting cocky.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Six, seven. And Don Bebebecky came down and smacked it out of his hand at the goal line. I mean, they still won, but... Oh, well, no one's more happier than Mr. Letts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Yeah. He didn't let the team down. He didn't let it get to him. It was the last time you thought about Don Bebe. Oh, yeah. Oh, boy. It's been a bit. A couple hours.
Starting point is 00:03:20 He was a good player. Yeah. But I think that's pretty much Sturman Thomas. Yeah, covering out the game. We can go on about old sports players for... We could. Forever.
Starting point is 00:03:30 I'd better not let myself go there because... I could just have a whole podcast just talking about... Just saying names and being like, oh, yeah. And then the next person says a name. And they go, oh, yeah. Dude, I remember him. Norm Johnson. Yeah, then someone else comes back with something else.
Starting point is 00:03:45 He's like, what? I totally forgot about him. I used to just sitting at a bar. Just late at night. It's like 1 o'clock in the morning. And everyone's leave. Even, and there's some guy at the bar you bring up Don Beebe, and he's like, Don Bebe, and it's like, you know Don Beebe? He's like, too, I know Don Beebe. I'm like, okay.
Starting point is 00:04:03 And then he taps his wife on the shoulder, goes, you just go home. I'll take it from here. Yeah. I'll meet you a late one. You're driving. Not my problem. We're doing Don Bebebe. That's two hours for me problem. Yeah, well, we'll hash it out when I get back. We're talking Don Bibi. We're talking 1992 football here, okay? You don't want to be a part of this. I don't want you to get hurt. All right. Well, on that note, let's get the show rolling. Let's just get into episode 183. Hell, yeah, brother.
Starting point is 00:04:32 We know what to do. We just got to tell Zach to push it. Can you? Oh, go ahead. No. Back to you? Zach, would you mind if you have sex? If you're not doing anything. Have sex? Hey, shut up. Start the show already.
Starting point is 00:04:45 I could have sworn with 100% confidence. You just said, hey, Zach, would you mind if we had sex? Do it? No. Well, that's, there's me talking again. here's me doing this again you let me have more than 10 seconds do you want to read
Starting point is 00:05:00 this would you rather I mean a little more than 10 seconds maybe but well I think you can pull it off I what happened I don't know if I have the most updated version all right so you read it and I'll take it from here so would you rather purposely shove a two inch long splinter
Starting point is 00:05:18 a two inch long I was my I wanted to make sure we had the same thing So I didn't jump ahead and jump in there Okay, gotcha Okay, I'm gonna let you keep reading But I got questions about a two inch long splinter Like when is a splinter stop being a splinter And turn into a spike
Starting point is 00:05:33 Yeah, it's a fucking spike at some point Yeah, that's too much Can me, I mean That's kindling I don't know where this is going exactly But I feel like We should dial that back to maybe an inch Even then
Starting point is 00:05:47 I'm hesitant to call an inch a splinter I mean I've had some pretty big ones But an inch is a that's That's large Yeah Just for the Just for the sake of the Because this could be a whole
Starting point is 00:06:00 Another Discussion For another time What's a splinter? Well Splinter to me Is a rat That trains Turtles
Starting point is 00:06:11 To eat pizza Who have happened to Find their way Into nuclear waste Yeah That's what Splinters Yeah That's what Splinter is to me
Starting point is 00:06:20 Do you know The Secret of the use Pizza? Is it vanilla ice? Go Ninja, go, Ninja, go. Back to you. Two inch long splinters straight down the center under your thumbnail and keep it there until you can win five games in a row of thumb wrestling with a stranger. By the way, this was, I'm pretty sure this is sent in from Shane.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Again? Yeah. Okay. So, Shane's getting a featured piece this month. You know what? You ever start thinking about something? and then it's like you hyper focus on it. That's how my brain works.
Starting point is 00:06:56 I think that's Shane's brain right now. He thought of one, Would You Rather? He's like, oh, I could do this. He's like, the whole world is Would You Rather is now. Yeah, really.
Starting point is 00:07:04 He's missing family engagements. He's fucking up at work. His sleep schedule is out the window. He's just lying awake. Would you rather be me wide awake at 3 a.m.? When you have a big day tomorrow or... His kid's like, I'm hungry, daddy.
Starting point is 00:07:18 And he's sitting up at night and he's like, it's not funny enough. You can do better. It's got to be funnier. It's got to be funnier. Don't just talk about how sad you are. They don't like to talk about sad, Shane. Come on, think.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Think. He's sticking a splinter into his fingers. Think. He's like, oh. Just to feel anything to distract me from would you rather's. He's jamming splinters. He's like, that reminds me of a would you rather. Yeah, it's kind of like the lashings that people give themselves, right?
Starting point is 00:07:49 Right. Okay. Stop thinking about that. Quetuch of yourself. Um, with every loss, you have to dip your thumb in lemon juice. This guy's just putting fuel, lemon on the, on the open wound. And you know, and this is a, you describe the situation perfectly because if a two inch, uh, loosely defined splinter under your thumbnail and playing five, or having to win five games in a row doing some thumb wrestling wasn't enough, he was like, that's not it. Yeah, he goes, he's not getting punished enough.
Starting point is 00:08:21 He's like, what else? what else think you fucking idiot lemon juice he's like just just he's like okay well I'll put some lemon juice in there hopefully they take it that seems crazy enough
Starting point is 00:08:34 alright so we got all that okay what's the flip what's the or because that's all just one thing okay that's a lot or you slash or slap
Starting point is 00:08:46 not slash your grandma's ass okay it's not even your grandma it's not even your grandma You are, and I don't want to call out the obvious right now, but if you are a part of the listening audience, Brian has forgot his reading glasses today. Yeah. I'm not sure if you've noticed. Back to you.
Starting point is 00:09:05 I thought I was, I mean, as far as reading goes, I thought I was doing a pretty decent job. Slap slash grab. That's where the slash comes into place. And your grandma, slash, grab. Your grandma's nowhere near this was rather. in this one at all um but well she is actually oh she is yeah so i got ahead of myself okay slash fuck you oh i'm tangled up in the in the landline the landline i haven't heard that sentence is the 90s oh my foot's caught in the landline slap slash grab your mom's ass like
Starting point is 00:09:44 she's a college babe and it's spring break okay in front of the whole family at grandma's funeral. Okay. So one and done. But a really bad time to do it. It's pretty bad. I think he might be misinterpreting the point
Starting point is 00:10:03 of college. Yeah. Probably not supposed to slap asses. I'm not sure. Yeah. Like, you don't just go out and I mean, I guess you do. They don't like it. They're not fans. Yeah. Can you imagine? Like, you're, I don't know, you're down in Cabo. He's like, weep, the cops show up. Like, sir. These 45 women are saying that you're walking up slapping and grabbing their asses.
Starting point is 00:10:26 And you're like, yeah, it's spring break. And he doesn't click the pen and go, you're right. Fine. Right. You're right. No rules here. Sorry. I didn't.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Spring breaks, they vary. I just wanted to make sure you were on spring break. You are literally immune to all laws. I feel like there are certain situations where it's probably less frowned upon. hear me out I'm not saying that it's okay to just go grab someone by the puss or slap their ass
Starting point is 00:10:54 You got to read the room You got to read the room If you're in a room You probably shouldn't be doing that But spring break Breeds one of those It breeds an environment Where there's a lot of drinking
Starting point is 00:11:05 Remember girls gone wild Like all They had a camera I've never seen it unscrambled But I know what you're talking about There was a point in time If people don't remember Where you'd go to spring break
Starting point is 00:11:16 And you'd show up with a camera and beads and women would just flash their boobs and everyone was kind of described new orleans yeah back to you right uh but there was a time and place where that was kind of like you knew what you were getting yourself into you know what i mean so not that ass you shouldn't just go slap someone's ass but i feel like someone's showing you their tits is different than walking up and slap grabbing their ass i agree but what i'm what i'm saying is if there was ever a time in a place where just random ass slapping would be somewhat accepted or be happening, spring break is probably one of those places.
Starting point is 00:11:55 And, you know, it's really funny, and you're not wrong, because there does become a time if you've ever found yourself in this situation that's been like, I don't know, hyped, it's hyper, it's super, it's just above all the stereotypes, you do get a little tired of it, which is really funny to say. But, like, there's situations where, like, there's no amount of tits that are going to keep you awake. Like, you're just, you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You start, like, as soon as you start reaching a peak where you don't really care about some flash titties, go home. I'm tired of this boner.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Yeah, but it does happen. You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, fucking seen them. You know, I think it would take a lot for me. Prove it. I wasn't in a lot of situations where there were just tities flashing everywhere. Yeah. And I don't think I would. I don't think I would get, it would take a lot.
Starting point is 00:12:44 before I got sick of it. Bartender at the strip club. I wouldn't go around slapping asses. Hey, can I get a dollar off this drink? I'll show you my tits. And he's like, I'm bartender at a strip club? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:56 I'll show you my pussy if you give me this drink for free. He's like, get the fuck out of here. Seen it. You make some gag? He's like, all set. All set. Oh, do you like it when I... I'm good here.
Starting point is 00:13:13 How about you say you give you? me this drink for free and I do a little dance just like oh can you do my taxes god I'm over it I am stressed out well you know what's funny about that as if you think about it like if you work at a strip club people probably just assume you're just like a sexual fiend that can't get enough of it and really it's like no dude they're accepting your job application and it's like that guy just he's a he's good at security and it's just a job to him yeah it's not like yeah Oh, I work security at Strip Club. Oh, you're a, you're a, you know, a freak and a, it's like, it's like, no, he just is good at security.
Starting point is 00:13:52 He's like, I get a paycheck. And I see some boobs, so you tell me. Yeah, it's like, it's pretty good. I get a paycheck and I see. You work security too, right? Yeah, do you see any boobs down at Silver Lake Mall? No. Lowing your job sucks.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Yeah. Have fun stopping shoplifters. Yeah. And just so. I'm going to stand here and actually punch people and see boobs. Right. that's pretty good deal Anna can wear sweatpants
Starting point is 00:14:17 Pretty good deal Fuck me right I'm an idiot Before we move on Just want to make We haven't answered shit I know but before we move on Before we get back to the question
Starting point is 00:14:26 I just want to make Sure that I'm clear here That I'm not going around slapping people's asses No you're not I'm just saying that a situation like this Can be hypersexual Situation there's alcohol
Starting point is 00:14:37 Yeah yeah There's titty's flashing The idea of someone Going around slapping asses Yeah It's not the greatest thing But I'm telling you If there's a place where it's going to happen, spring break is probably the place.
Starting point is 00:14:48 During those younger years, yeah. During the younger years, it's hypersexual. And not in front of your whole family at Grandma's funeral. Right. Okay. So that's a one-off that you might not ever be up. But it's so shocking that people might block it out of their brain. And you just get to go back to life.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Well, I think if you walk up and what if you walked up behind mom slapped her ass and pulled her shirt up and flash your boobs? Well, that's not in here, but I like where this is going. Like now, and then you. put some beads over and then you walk down, Grandma would have loved this and then walk off. You just keep going. I know. You take the necklace off your dead grandma
Starting point is 00:15:23 and then throw it to your mom. You're like, show me your tents! As you stand on top of the casket, that's a funeral. Fuck yeah. But that's not the question. That's a yacht. Okay, so let's go back to a two inch long splinter.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Can we, I'm not putting, I will... Speaking of splinter, I am boned up right now. I'm slapping all your mom's ass. passes at all the funerals with and not putting a two inch long splinter like that's past the first joint well do you have to push it in two inches or is it just a too long splinter that you're jammed just barely in yeah i mean yeah it doesn't matter how long it is at that point right now is then is it a splinter anymore if it's not in it's not a splinter that's my daddy story's that's right can we go down to like i mean a half inch fucking splinter yeah is a lot
Starting point is 00:16:12 I mean, down to, let's go down to one. Because two is, like, that's through the first joint. You can first knuckle. You can bump that on a lot of things, too. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, and your thumb wrestling. Like, that's a, that's a disaster.
Starting point is 00:16:26 It's all the way under your thumbnail. You got to be like a bull rider where you got to keep that hand up. Yeah. If I'm thumb wrestling, I'm keeping this hand with a splinter hand. No, you have to use the splinter hand in the thumb wrestling. Yes, that's implied, Brian. Oh, I just, I just assumed you had it in the other hand, but you were thumb wrestling. And you're dipping your perfectly fine thumb and lemon juice?
Starting point is 00:16:45 Well, it's, no, no, you're like, you're an idiot shame. You're dipping the, I thought you were dipping, this is the injured hand, and you're fighting with this hand. No, I think it's implied that you have to fight with the one that is being hurt. But the mom thing, she's going to always remember you just like giving it a, like a grab, an aggressive grab. She's crying, her mom just died. And you're like, sup, babe. Leave a big old handprint. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:11 You just walk up to her and slap her on the eye. and you're like, what position did you play? Good game. Good game, mom. What? What? Anyway, I like to say a few words.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Turn the mic up. I mean, okay. He always does this. Really what it comes down to, how, how, uh, is this just a one-time thing with the son? They're both one-offs, right? You have to win five in a row, though, with the, which eventually the pain, we know how to go, it'll just get so numb at a point. Now you're back to, like, just trying to thumb wrestle.
Starting point is 00:17:39 And so. You're not crying. But it might be a couple weeks It'll go away It'll go away But the The memory of ass slap Yeah
Starting point is 00:17:46 Yeah No Dude fuck it I'm slap my mom's ass I've just set Like in my life I'm a little I'm lucky enough
Starting point is 00:17:56 To have The outside perception That you're just kind of weird And a goofy person So I think that I have a better chance Of doing that And then having to apologize for it
Starting point is 00:18:07 And letting it It just drifts away What's your apology you the because you can't you can't say well it was a would you rather that was like how do you apologize for that? What's your reasoning? I'm like, you fucking tell me I can't when your ass looks that good.
Starting point is 00:18:20 That's not an apology. You just. Sorry your ass looks that good in grandma's dress? What do you want me to say Brian? Not that because now it's getting more sexual. I'm like sorry I had a weak moment I was picturing you on a
Starting point is 00:18:36 yacht in Cancun. I was as stiff as grandma and I had to do something about it See at dinner We're still going out for pizza? Save some sandwiches for me Yeah We're still going out for pizza after this
Starting point is 00:18:48 Yeah Whatever the apology is I feel like Your family They love you They can And it's gonna be funny At least in my situation
Starting point is 00:18:59 Over time That's ridiculous It'll turn into something Like a joke And you can live through that I've lived through worse Brian You have So
Starting point is 00:19:09 I'm fine But when you're not there and everyone's sitting around, they're like, what the fuck was with Joe? And they just, and then you come back, oh, there's my boy. And then as soon as you leave, just, I don't fucking kid has lost it. As long as I don't know. Yeah. You don't know, you know. I mean, even dialing it back to a one inch splinter under your fucking.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Dude, it doesn't matter how long it is at that point. Okay, so I'm picking slapping ass. I'm slap my mom's ass at my grandma's funeral. Uh, I am not shoving a one inch splinter down the seven. in my thumbnail than having to win five games in a row of thumb wrestling with a stranger. Is it a kid? Yeah, if that's it, you're like
Starting point is 00:19:48 one, two, three, four, five, fucking you... What up, nerd? Beating it, dweeb! I think it's... Dude, if it's fucking if it's sliced alone and over the top, now we've got a problem. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:01 That's just too much pain. That's too long. Because you're never going to win. Not with... I mean... It's hard to move. Yeah. You're not beating a professional, like a, what if a, you run into a professional thumb wrestling? Yeah, you never know who you're going to deal with. Like, do you get to pick the person?
Starting point is 00:20:18 Eh, doesn't say in there. Just a stranger. Didn't say first person. So yeah, I guess you get to pick them. You just can't know him. You actually just pick some idiot and then win it and yank it out. You're kind of persuaded me back the other way. But I also kind of want to feel what my mom's ass feels like.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Just kidding. But I'm still picking that. I know what it feels like. It's not as great as you think it is. I'm aware. As great as you think it is What are you guys picking? I'm ass slapping my dead mom
Starting point is 00:20:42 Fuck yeah, let's go I'll probably do the ass slap too All right Jiggle all the way home Fucking spring break All right next Zach, quiet Hey
Starting point is 00:20:52 Hey what's up babe What are you thinking about? You know nothing Actually, you know what I'm thinking about a lot of shit What are you thinking about Joe What are you thinking about?
Starting point is 00:21:03 What are you thinking about? Okay So a cute moment At the time that we record this It was two nights ago Two days ago Ezra For this
Starting point is 00:21:19 Do they have a semester At middle school He decided They get to pick like different things I forget what they're called But like oh exploratory Is about the school You familiar with that?
Starting point is 00:21:30 I've dabbled Yes I've explored the exploratory Yeah Explore the room Like every little chunk of a semester you bounce around between like different creatives.
Starting point is 00:21:41 So they don't just like stick you in one thing. You just dabble in it. And then you can move off to something else. And he chose band and he loved it. But what he's good at is drums. He's good at drums. And he did not pick the drums. He came home.
Starting point is 00:21:59 I guess a couple months. We're already good at drums. A couple months. Kick it better. I have reached the top. Reached the mountain top. tough. I'm like, if your 40-year-old dad who doesn't play drums anymore, used to, is better than you, keep going. Like, I don't know how to do it anymore, and I'm still better than you.
Starting point is 00:22:18 You haven't reached the top. Yeah, but you get, once you get the gist of it, you can get better. Maybe he wanted to learn a new instrument. Sure. Well, go with that. Um, he came home and said, uh, I'm going to play saxophone. And he said that because he knows that I have, maybe he said, I wanted to have some phone sex and you misinterpreted it. And I was like, oh, right here. And he's like, what? And the saxophone I have is
Starting point is 00:22:45 Grace, my sister that passed away, her tenor sex. I have it. So good and bad. We've busted it out. We've played around with it a little bit. And he decided that he wanted to learn how to play saxophone.
Starting point is 00:23:00 And I was like, all right. Like, let's do it. And also being a band dork myself, all through, I mean, elementary, middle school, high school, and then, you know, did do music in college before I switched out and I was like, I don't want to teach music. And that's where this is going. So fuck this and switched out of that. Did I ever tell you guys that? Yeah. I'd say it on the show. Like, I had, like, so I got a full ride because of academics and my music scholarship. And then I switched majors and I guess never told the foundation that was giving me, money that I switched majors just waited for them to find out fuck those did they find out yeah for like a year and a half
Starting point is 00:23:43 was already paid for though was they gonna say give it back no take these backsies no like taking money get it back you had taken money from a college kid that you gave scholarship money to who has a fast fuck
Starting point is 00:23:57 because his family can't afford it you're like give it back fucking traitor you on a payment plan they're like oh well he's supposed to update us like oh I thought I did Anyway, see you, nerds. So, anyway, so whatever. And I know from that experience that actually, like, playing percussion in the band setting is pretty fucking boring.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Because you're just hitting the snare and symbols and shit. It's more like a time to relax and not have to do anything if you're in like middle school and high school band. Anyway, so he played saxophone and he had their first middle school concert a couple nights ago. And he's playing saxophone and we show up And it's sixth grade, seventh grade, eighth grade And they're all just doing like a collection of like mostly Christmas songs But also just like shit they can play Which doesn't always fit into Christmas things
Starting point is 00:24:48 Certain songs, but not all of them Of course we heard hot cross buns, right? Is it hot cross buns a Christmas song? I don't know But if you wear it is a school music song But if you wear a Santa hat, I guess so Right So they played all that and it went great
Starting point is 00:25:04 he did great. They sounded great. And they switched over to the seventh graders. And Ezra had some friends that were in seventh grade and eighth grade band. So he's like, can we stick around and watch him? And I'm like, yeah, you know, sure, of course. And I just compared it to like if your kid is hurt or injured and they can't play like in their baseball game or their football game. Like you still make, they go, they're on the sidelines and you as a parent, you are there. Because it's, you have to show them that just like they have to be there to support their team, you are there to support them while they support their team. Like, it's that trickle-down parenting thing.
Starting point is 00:25:36 So we're there. That sucks. I know. So we're sitting there watching just a fucking stellar performance. And halfway through their second song, there's a loud thud in the upper balcony of the gymnasium. Like, you didn't know what it was, but you knew it wasn't good. wasn't part of the show it wasn't no it wasn't like
Starting point is 00:26:04 Santa was oh oh oh no like it was like Santa crashed into the building yeah like he missed the chimney like he sawed a hole and fell through the fucking gymnasium roof
Starting point is 00:26:16 reindeer down and no one knew what happened and you know they're playing and the conductor like he's peeking over his shoulder you know doing one of those he's like this he's like he's like he's like
Starting point is 00:26:29 he's like he's a one two like kind of do a little peek back and then as they keep playing they finish out the song but I'm not looking backwards I'm watching this incredible performance and then he stops
Starting point is 00:26:44 and it's like you can hear scuffling and you look up there and there's just a bunch of people huddled around a body oh god okay oh I'm just getting started huddled around a human like a full-sized man who is just like
Starting point is 00:26:59 say a person when you say body I assume the dude's dead oh you're about to find out oh so huddled around a at the time a live body oh okay and they're huddled around they're looking at it
Starting point is 00:27:15 and he he does this little number uh the conductor and then he puts his hands down all the instruments go down you know and then he steps off his little podium and then goes and walks over and starts talking to like I'm assuming the principal or the vice principal
Starting point is 00:27:31 I'm trying to put on a performance here he's not dying in tempo and there's people gathered obviously something is going on and we don't know what it is come to find out what happened was there was a dad who was coming down the bleachers
Starting point is 00:27:52 I think he might have had like a little bit of a disability like a movement disability or a drinking problem nope and he tripped so he fell down the stairs of the upper deck and slammed his head into the stairs and then started having a seizure again out of tempo he was not shaking in 120 beats per minute um so they did that oh my god and they're they're caring for him and they're figuring it out and the conductor the band teacher he's talking to the principal and this is like like five minutes, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:31 we're all there. I'm looking at Cassie, and she's like, like, what, like, what a, can you just keep going? Like, the show must go on. The Christmas spirit is gone. What was left of it? After all the
Starting point is 00:28:46 of all the kid instruments, which was barely keeping the Christmas spirit alive. Right now it is gone. And they're huddled around, and they're doing like the And he's sitting there, and then the conductor, he fixes his glasses, a sordid guy just like this, takes a deep breath. He turns around, walks back over there, picks up the microphone, and goes, they're having a little bit of a medical emergency up there.
Starting point is 00:29:15 He goes, but I've been informed that the show must go on. Oh, no. And he goes, and he goes, we wish your family nothing but the best. Here's smoke on the water. Clink, clink. That's the microphone down. And while this is happening, fucking ambulances and fire trucks
Starting point is 00:29:38 are parked outside. They're rushing, the EMTs are rushing in the door. And it's just going, be, bam, bam, be,
Starting point is 00:29:47 bam, be da. Bamb b'a. And they're doing solos. They're standing up and taking their turn going, w'am, and here.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Attitude. And then, like, and we're just looking at each other as they're up there, like, the guy, runs down and grabs the fucking, uh, the paddles. Like, the emergency paddust, it runs up there. The defibrillator thing. Everyone is just like, what the fuck is happening? Smoke on the water. Just like they're running in and fucking. And like, so they get him, they get him out.
Starting point is 00:30:28 He didn't die. And they got them downstairs. They carried them down. And then they put them in a wheelchair. Didn't have to go on the stretcher. So we stuck it out. We stayed for the whole performance. But I look back at it.
Starting point is 00:30:38 And just the difference and personality between just people in general that I turned to Cassie and I said, when he comes down here, I was like, he has a really important decision to make. Because he could sit in that wheelchair and say, Merry Christmas, everyone. Or like, the show. must go on anything and he did nothing he just rolled out didn't even give him the
Starting point is 00:31:07 he didn't do a god damn thing and I'd like to think that's kind of selfish I'd like to think if I was in that position I'd least have something a little one liner
Starting point is 00:31:17 just be like sorry about that yeah just anything be like that sucked yeah like just I mean
Starting point is 00:31:25 whatever but that's just different personalities but I hope he's doing well. It's just so funny. Like, it's, we're not at like Broadway. Right. Where, like, people have paid a lot of, like, we don't, we all don't
Starting point is 00:31:39 want to be there. Yeah. You could have ended it. You could have ended it. And I get it that they put in a lot, the kids put in a lot of time, but just standing up there and being like, we got like the best, you know, all of our best thoughts to your family. Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. Sounds like you're going to be fine. I swear to God, then he goes, here's smoke on the water. And I looked I looked at Cassie and I went
Starting point is 00:32:01 No way And just Boom Boom Boom And I was like And then the lights They're illuminating the kids faces
Starting point is 00:32:12 Through the gym Like door Like they're playing trumpet It's just like flashing lights on them What the fuck are you doing here? Oh the emergency lights So the fire truck and ambulance lights They're like kind of
Starting point is 00:32:25 supplying the ambiance of this Christmas spirit. I thought maybe you meant like they're the lights they had lighting in the gym. No, through the gym doors little windows, the lights are lighting up the kids as they're
Starting point is 00:32:39 playing smoke on the water and this guy's like shaking up and we're like just sitting there being like oh on the water. Fire in this guy. God, fucking. Oh, that's amazing. Anyway, so that's your roundup
Starting point is 00:32:55 on this week in Idaho. I mean I get what he's supposed to do Yeah Like if he died If it was a serious thing I'm sure they would have canceled it They got to read on it
Starting point is 00:33:07 And they're like What if the principal was like Just keep going This guy's a pussy Mm-hmm He does this every year Fucking every year with this guy He's been coming here since the 80s
Starting point is 00:33:18 He doesn't even have a kid You're right He's just been showing up Every year since 81 This motherfucker shows down At every Christmas concert Steels the show every time we won't let them in the band it's a whole thing and he
Starting point is 00:33:32 it is a weird thing like i wouldn't want to be the person here's carry out my wayward son yeah i wouldn't want to be the person that makes those decisions but i guess like if i am thinking about it uh if i was the person i don't know like i would i i would hate for the show to end you'd hate for the kids to be like Well, we used to all this practice and not getting to do it. But guess what? Life's full of disappointments. I get it, but everybody, like, everybody got up to the real life.
Starting point is 00:34:03 You do a lot of work and no one fucking cares. I know. But there's just, there's a lot of moving pieces. Like I, I told us to Amber before, and we were talking about, like, musicians and stuff. Like, when you reach a certain level, let's say you're fucking Taylor Swift, Morgan Swift, Morgan, Walton, these people that are like, they are, like, Taylor Swift, Morgan, Walton, people like that are like, they are, they are. corporations so if they have a if they have a concert and they have an if they're got a little throat scratch it's not like he's canceling a show and the people are no canceled the show and we're gonna make it's like the arena that was paid for it affects so many people and so but even on a something like this
Starting point is 00:34:48 where it's the scale is so much smaller still these kids practice for this performance people took time off of work. They didn't practice very hard. I'll tell you that much. But you get what I'm saying. There's still a lot of moving pieces to just cancel something. And this isn't one of them. If the dude was like blasted, busted open and he's blood everywhere and it's like gushing all
Starting point is 00:35:10 over the place and it's affecting. But if he's just laying there having a seizure, come on. And just change the song. Yeah, just power through it. You know what I mean? And we did. Smoke out of the water. Clear!
Starting point is 00:35:24 What I was hoping you were going to say was They always said like CPR to the beat of Staying Alive Like if he just He was like oh If he had enough sense to go Hey hey can you guys play Stay alive? Right
Starting point is 00:35:40 We're trying to do some CPR up here we could So we're pulling out of all right He's like don't worry It's gonna sound the same as the song We thought we were gonna play Right Yeah it's just a bunch of noise
Starting point is 00:35:51 It's a bunch of noise You ready clap at the end One two three just the sound of instruments in general like when you go to a broadway play and they're like warming up and you hear the everybody at making different sounds together it's like yeah me me me me me me but then it's like kids doing it and it's even worse he says oh they don't bother to warm up you know that yeah all right let's let's slide off to some dick yeah slide on to some dick come on Zach it is it dumb is it interesting is it Cool, then it's dick, big.

First time anybody's seen it. What are you doing? According to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Michigan patient received a kidney transplant at an Ohio hospital back in
Starting point is 00:46:13 December of 24. You wake up and you're like, I'm alive. I'm a wrong. But his family. Oh, my God. Like a year's waiting on this list. We didn't think it was going to do. Around five weeks later, he began experiencing tremors, lower extremity weakness, confusion, and urinary incontinence.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Pissing himself. Yeah. He was soon hospitalized and ventilated. Then died. What the fuck? Jesus Christ. Sick article. She couldn't soften the blow at all.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Just nice bedside manner in this article. Holy shit. Five weeks. He was experiencing all these symptoms. Died. Things looked to be going pretty well. And then he was dead. D-E-A-D.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Please consider supporting us as we go ad-free. What the fuck? According to K-H-P-TV. Post-mortem testing confirmed ratings. Babfling authorities because the recipient's family had said he had not had any exposure to animals. Doctors then reviewed the records. Unless you include his wife. About the kidney donor, a man in Idaho.
Starting point is 00:47:28 That does sound like a place where this would happen. Rabies. Yep. The man reportedly fell down the upper deck staircase at a middle school band concert. At first, when you were saying, I was listening like, oh, what happened? And then... Gotcha. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:45 But it was a man in Idaho and discovered that the donor risk assessment interview... I didn't know any of these were a thing. Question here, he said he had been scratched by a skunk. Just scratch, not bit? When asked the family explained that a couple of months before, back in October, while he was holding a kitten in a shed on his country property, a skunk approached, showing predatory aggression towards the kitten. The man fought off the...
Starting point is 00:48:13 animal in the encounter at the report says rendered the skunk unconscious but not before the man received a shin scratch that bled although he did not think that he had been bitten what this is fucking crazy have you ever have you ever had an encounter with a skunk yeah well have you ever had an encounter with a skunk yeah but they don't they don't want to be around you i've never had an aggressive skunk ever like you just go hey if you make hey get out of here make any noise they're like sorry yeah they're like so sorry mind if i sorry i just farted well usually yeah they just go and run off see you're like nerd yeah but no they're not i've never seen aggressive skunk uh five weeks later a family members smashed on the road he became confused
Starting point is 00:48:59 had difficulty swalling and walking experienced hallucinations and had a stiff neck two days later he was found unresponsive at home after resumed cardiac arrest although he was resuscitated and hospitalized. He never regained consciousness. And after several days, was declared brain dead and removed from life support. What a waste of a kidney. Sorry. That's all right. But this is scary shit. I can't imagine. It's just like, a skunk is like, eh. He's like, I got you. And you're like, fuck you. You smell bad. But I can beat the shit. And it's like, fuck you. It's does that. I didn't realize a scratch could do it. They're dirty. The report states that several of his organs, including his left kidney, were donated.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Oh, boy. So the trickle-down's about to happen. Dude, rabies is fucking crazy. I didn't know it was that. Like, there was this fucking nuts. Oh, dude. Yeah, no joke. I mean, I knew it was a bad idea.
Starting point is 00:49:55 I just, everything inside of you is now contaminated. And it just stays alive. You put it in something else. And it's like, fuck you. I, uh, yeah, I mean, uh, I originally. He had pictured, you know that meme of the guy that's like, he's got his hands on his hips and he's kind of disappointed? Yeah, a disappointing guy. I just pictured like the person that was next on the list to get the kidney.
Starting point is 00:50:23 And this guy got it and he's just like, he's like, unbelievable. And then later he's like, all right. Cool. Worked out. Anyway, so add that list to, I mean, add that to the list of weird fears. That's fucking. I never, that is the wildest story I've heard in a long time. Just fucking, having a cat, the skunk's like, fuck you.
Starting point is 00:50:46 So first of all, aggressive skunk, weird, in my experience in the world. Mm-hmm. And you're holding a cat, and it's like, you know what, I'm a fucking, and then you have to, you, you, you battle a skunk, you beat the shit out of it. And it touches, it goes, yeah, yeah. Fuck you, man. On your shin. And then all this happens, and then you, then it gets transferred and fucking does it again. Dude, that skunk got, he went out with style.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Well, I'm guessing. Wiped out a couple of people. All right, well, now I feel stupid because now I'm remembering that rabies makes them aggressive. All right, back to you. I forgot that's a whole part of rabies. Having you seen old yelling? Yes, I know. I guess forgot for a second.
Starting point is 00:51:26 I just got lost in the fact that skunks don't normally do that. But now rabies, it affects your brain. And you just fucking start fighting shit. Yeah, I hadn't considered that either. Yeah, I was like, oh, that skunk has been drinking tequila. Same thing. He's like, I can fucking take your cat Same thing as rabies
Starting point is 00:51:46 Leaving a bar just It's like, yeah, he's leaving a bar fighting Hey, I want your cat That's tequila. Mine Yeah, that's a tequila talk You know what, I want your Your fucking shoes and your cat
Starting point is 00:51:58 And you fucking give to me I'm gonna scratch your ankles Fussing Ow Come on, man All right, you're ready to move? They killed the skunk? He said he rendered it unconscious.
Starting point is 00:52:13 So that dude's still out there? I doubt it. They just didn't want to say what he actually did to it. Because I'm sure it wasn't nice. He drank its blood. Problem solved. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:25 It's Idaho. Wouldn't put that off. All right, let's get off for some petty beef. Let's fucking rip it. Rip it and roar, Zach. You are now entering the Petty Beef courtroom, where all sides of some bullshit will be heard and evaluated. The people are.
Starting point is 00:52:39 are real. The cases are real. The rulings are final-ish. This is Petty Beef. This is from Beechter. Hello. Hey, Daddy's, Joe. What? Joe Bwine.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Joe Bwine. And her cum-gousland, hog-bone, and feet-fucking comie uncle Zach. Holy shit bears. Hello. Hello, my name is. Hello. I come to you with. A petty beef that's been on my mind lately.
Starting point is 00:53:12 A lot lately. There it is. Not just on my mind. Yep. It's there a bunch. I have a cousin. Okay. I'm not going to say her name because it's one of those traditional Norwegian names.
Starting point is 00:53:23 And if Brian reads this, even with the glasses, he might get a brain bleed. I don't have glasses, so this is going to get extra. Around November 20 feasts, I walked outside to get ready for school. Are you in elementary school? I hope not He's like I walked outside to get ready for school I tied my shoes all by myself
Starting point is 00:53:45 Me and my cousin were standing outside and I said It's winter now huh Since it's so cold the car is basically an ice Block she responds by telling me No it's November so it's still fall If you have ever been to Norway Or just Scandinavia
Starting point is 00:54:01 Nordics in general You know the weather does not follow a fucking calendar It can literally start snowing in the middle of me the weather is unpredictable and i'll give a fuck if the calendar says it's fall okay so i present this argument to the petty beef court do the seasons go by weather or calendar who is right just definition of petty beef yep just a little thing you want to bring it in here and see what happens affection well technically it's still fall here uh yeah for another little over a week
Starting point is 00:54:35 Yeah, it is. I don't, I think, Victor, you're not going to like this. But I'm going to get straight to the point here for you. Um, there are sanctions for seasons. Like, there's dates that divide up our calendar into quarters. But it does not mean that weather can't cross over into those other quarters. Bleed over a little bit. It's not, because it says that it's fall does not mean it cannot snow. And he brought up the example of snowing in May. And I don't know, like, how far. I know it's pretty far north, but I guess I haven't spun the globe in a bit. It's pretty up there. To see where we are in comparison. But there's many, many times growing up during summer doing two-a-day football practices, it would snow in August where I grew up.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Like, that's not, it would happen. It wouldn't be that it's fucking winter. Higher elevations. Yeah, it would just mean that it snowed in the summer, but it's still summer. Snow doesn't necessarily mean winter. It just means that snow happened in the summer. It's a precipitation that is associated with winter, but it's not regulated to just winter. Yeah, it's divided up into seasons, does not, if the weather happens outside of the season.
Starting point is 00:55:58 Imagine if no snow fell until December 21st. Yeah. And it's like, now it is winter. We call it winter because it's a solstice. There's a winter solstice and a summer solstice. And there's parts of the world where it never snow, so is it always summer, Victor? Is that what's going on? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:16 His parts of places in the world where no seasons happen. Because we go to Mexico in the winter to get away from the cold and it's not snowing there. It's 80 degrees and gorgeous. Yeah. Well, that's their summer. Zach, do you have any thoughts on this? Nope. Cool.
Starting point is 00:56:31 actually we are as far north as a lot of the European that's what I was thinking but we have a Gulf Stream and we have some other stuff that keeps us warmer and bigger penises and mountains and stuff and bigger penises yeah so that's what what makes that happen okay so I would say I would say if it snows in May it's not winter it's not winter exactly a winter vibe but yeah and it's not really welcome it is you know unique yeah it's there's just little benchmarks to divide it it does not mean that it's because Because it snowed one time.
Starting point is 00:57:03 And, like, we've had snow. Again, even here, last year, right? Was it last year? Maybe two years ago. We got, like, I don't know, eight inches of snow at the end of April into May. And it's like, well, it doesn't mean that it's still winter. But he's talking about November, so it's really close. It's like winter's here early.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Dude, it's 50 degrees here today. No, it's December 11th. It's supposed to be up to 60 today. Yeah. Yeah. So the weather doesn't care about our calendar. It's El Nemia, bitches. But it also depends on where you live.
Starting point is 00:57:39 I feel like where we live, our four seasons are very, it's like a stereotypical four seasons thing. Like, it starts getting cold November. It'll snow in October sometimes. It'll snow in November. But it doesn't start getting like bitingly cold until like January. January, February. Yeah. So by the standards of winter, winter is going to start December 21st.
Starting point is 00:58:00 and then it's then the temperatures kind of start dipping down so we kind of follow that it'll just be zero for a couple months yeah yeah and then and then march it's like spring you feel like it's starting to shift uh so i feel like we follow depends on where you're at you know we follow that feels like winter feels like spring feels like fall yeah but it could still be summer there to be snow in late february in march yeah absolutely It's like we're kind of surprised if it doesn't. Yeah. So I get what he's saying, but also it's not winter now. But here's what I will say to this. Sometimes it depends on how somebody says something. If you're saying like, well, it's winter now, huh? No.
Starting point is 00:58:46 It's fall. You fucking idiot. It's fall. Yeah. So we're missing that. But the way he backed it up was saying that like the second that there's snow and things are cold, it's like now it's winter. It's like, no, it's just a weather pattern outside of the official start.
Starting point is 00:58:59 So, Victor, we love you. You're wrong. I want to move on? Okay. Hooray, we're not doomed. Let's roll it. So you're telling me there's a chance. Hooray, we aren't doomed.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Yeah! You were excited about this one. I haven't seen it, so. Yeah, it's pretty funny. A little fun little story. You fucking do it. Give us some happiness, some holiday cheer. Yeah, so, I mean, being a parent and having like holiday stuff,
Starting point is 00:59:29 at schools, there's always something going on and when you're really busy, my mom you know, buy the wrong type of chips, put the wrong thing in their lunch whatever, like it just kind of fucking happens or your mom puts a Coors light in your drinking lunchbox? Yeah, just
Starting point is 00:59:44 she's in a hurry, grabs beer instead of a Coke and, you know, that kind of stuff, it just happens when you're busy and your parent shit like that. So this story is funny because it's relatable and I can see where this mistake would happen. It's weird.
Starting point is 00:59:59 I mean, it's goofy, but still. When 9-year-old Oscar Wilkins, what a fucking sick name, dude. Oscar Wilkins, come on down. When he heard he had been given the role of Elvis the elf and the nativity play at his primary school last week, the alliteration left him confused over what to do or what to tell his parents. Coming home, Oscar's little sister, just says sister, doesn't say little. Add it. Oscar's sister. Could be big, could be tiny.
Starting point is 01:00:28 could be small could be tiny sister it could be the exact same size right could be twins said neither he nor the school had been able to communicate the elf element to his bemused
Starting point is 01:00:40 okay with the big words fucking chill out this is the guy this is the guy that says like it's full actually that wrote this article Victor Relyne autumn the boy simply told them
Starting point is 01:00:53 he had been cast as Elvis so the kid came home and said hey guys I'd been casted as Elvis in this play. Like Christmas Elvis? Mm-hmm. Or... And the parents are probably like,
Starting point is 01:01:05 ah, it's weird, but who knows? Maybe it's some weird take on Christmas. I've heard a weirder shit. Let's go, buddy. They then sought out the costume of the Graceland star and only realized the error when he stepped out on stage.
Starting point is 01:01:20 But hardly letting it become an error, Oscar embraced his starring role and found the whole thing hilarious. His older sister... jade smith said the audience couldn't help falling in love with him or with the absurdity of it all we asked him if he was sure he meant elvis and he said yes with a sparkly costume he did not mention anything about an elf she told the southwest news service in england his letter said a sparkly elvis costume it did not say elvis the elf so we all just stupidly thought it was elvis presley jade said the family then took online for a kid's elvis outfit found one that fitted Oscar perfectly. So, like, it's so perfect. How could this be any better?
Starting point is 01:02:04 It's made for this. We sent him to school in the wrong costume, and they all saw the funny side, but did not say it was wrong. The two performances on Wednesday and Thursday last week at Pernheim-Weepard! Primary school in Wales were also in front of his parents, Stephen and Sarah Wilkins.
Starting point is 01:02:20 Smith only realized the air during the performance of the show. We found out a mistake when we were watching the show, and they all walked out. out of the 12 kids they were all dressed as elves except for Oscar who was elphas look at this picture
Starting point is 01:02:35 look at the chick in the back she's like he's not even dressed right he's a rebel he looks good thanks he does fits him perfect yeah look at that hair
Starting point is 01:02:50 like he's owning it he doesn't look embarrassed at all step off my blue sweet that's so good And, I mean, that costume, I wouldn't say perfect fit, but... It's a little loose, but he's got to put on some muscle. Oh, yeah, put on some LBs, like the real Elvis Presley, you know? That's right, brother.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Must have got that one in the late stages. Yeah, a little stretched. That's so fun, like just the school, the parents, everyone rolling with, the humor literally saves everything. Yeah. The teachers are like, you're not an elf! Get off the stage! Because they easily could have and fucked everything up, and they're just like, this is ridiculous, you're going on.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Mm-hmm. Love it. Yeah, it's one of those things like, you know, how, like we are very much those people when it's like, if you can break the ice of serious and now it's like everyone's involved and it's everyone's in on the joke, it makes everything so much better. So you go out there, oh my God, what's that kid wearing an Elvis costume for? Break the ice. Now it's fun. Yeah. I agree. So hats off to everybody that was involved in that. Let's move off to, hey, look what I found. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Zachie. The internet is pretty wild. Depending on your browsing habits, you can either experience something super cool, or go to prison. Crazy, right? Let's check it out. Together, as a couple. Hey, look what I found. Yes.
Starting point is 01:04:17 That's awesome. Well, I'll read this one. You read the last one. Okay. Sent in from our son, Jordan. Hello, fuckers. That's a good way to start. It's me
Starting point is 01:04:28 Jordan Jordan in the big red shirt That's me The guy that brought up The great chode debate Oh yeah And for the record I still call my gooch a chode
Starting point is 01:04:41 But I digress I've recently Just want you to know Want you to know That's me You've recently requested More email sent in for content So here the fuck you go
Starting point is 01:04:54 Today I'd like to introduce you guys to a little internet game called A-Golf Hitler. The rules of the game are simple. The game is played entirely on Wikipedia, with at least two people playing
Starting point is 01:05:13 on separate computers. Each player gives the other player a completely random word or topic to search in Wikipedia. I'm Casey Kasem. Casey Kasem. Using the associated topic slash word,
Starting point is 01:05:26 hyperlink scattered throughout in the article of your topic or your historical knowledge, your goal is to reach the Wikipedia page for Adolf Hitler in the fewest amount of clicks. Example. Search word podcast. You might want to select the hyperlink for YouTube or Bloomberg in the first paragraph. Okay, it makes sense. Each hyperlink you click, that brings you to a new page that's one stroke. one step closer to Hitler. The point of a golf is to reach the end in the least amount of strokes
Starting point is 01:06:04 or golf in general, but so, why was that capitalized? I don't know. I get you to yell. Whoever reached Hitler's page with fewer clicks is the winner. That's it. That's the game. It's basically like six degrees of separation but in a weird, fucked up way.
Starting point is 01:06:21 And I thought it was seven degrees. Is it six degrees? Or is it seven degrees of separation? Seven degrees of Kevin Bacon. Okay, that's what I thought Okay Anyway, I once got there in seven clicks With my original search being toolbox That's impressive
Starting point is 01:06:36 Try this at home Or at your office job Try this at home Give each other hugs and tugs And remember, I'm counting on you Bye Okay, so there you go I don't think we, I mean, we can't play it live
Starting point is 01:06:49 Can we? No, we can't play it live But we should dive into this it live fuck it we'll do it live all right it
Starting point is 01:06:58 but that's a very fun game yeah and we will play it we get up the microphones but we gotta get
Starting point is 01:07:04 dialed in and switch a bunch of shit around I used to want 15 minutes he's going reading stuff and figuring out
Starting point is 01:07:12 yeah crabs lobster oh YouTube click all right let's move off and hear
Starting point is 01:07:20 from some of the children oh Zach fuck oh my good All right, let's hear what you guys think. Really? You want to talk to me?
Starting point is 01:07:31 Wow, that's cool. As you guys know, once that radio voice finds its way into the show, it's hard to let it go. One thing is funny, though, in that last thing, you had it, and it was slowly coming off, and then it was right into your regular voice, and I was listening to the transition, slowly. And then you went back up to it again. I couldn't. It's hard to keep it out. Suppressing the radio voice. Suppression.
Starting point is 01:07:53 More difficult than still. Stopping heroin. More powerful than a locomotive. A motive locus. A motive locus. What's the motive? What's the motive? What's the motive? What's the locove? Back to you. In the studio, Jan.

On the short list of the worst experiences of my life, side note, no minivan pickup for pups, just a hatchback Subaru. One, real quick, one, it's weird, losing a pet's fucking sucks. But I do remember a moment that I remember thinking like, oh, that's kind of a good thing. not good thing that the dog died but he said dog shit year and I was thinking when my kids were they wanted to go play out in the backyard and I was thinking oh hang on guys I need to go pick up the poop and I didn't have to it was like this moment of like oh that's this is a really weird moment right now because I usually hate going out and picking up dog poop yeah I was like I don't have to do it yeah and it was very weird feeling rolling your rolling your clothes and sticky paper having it in-house clothes versus go-to-work clothes in?
