Hello Brian
Hello Brian
Hey Joe!
Hey Joe!
We'll still be a little bit of
Background noise today, episode
174. Yeah, I think it's
strictly drills. Today, they've moved
from hammers to drills. And there's a little
grumble with it, too. It's like it's, it feels
like it's going deep. Yeah.
Yeah, the base might penetrate
the studio today, but
stuff might fall from the ceiling.
That'd be cool. Kind of frayed a little bit. Yeah, that'd be a neat
little trick. Some of this brick might come crumbling
down. Nice.
They don't know. They don't know. They don't know. They don't know.
They don't know. They'll never know.
All right. Send in your content suggestions. That's stuff
for dick for petty beef
things you want Zach
to investigate for lap time
send it into hey guys
at can you don't podcast.com
of course Patreon's going
we just checked off our second tier
part of the honkathon
you gotta get your fucking eyes checked
you have that scheduled yet?
Well so here's the thing
what it's hard to do it during the week
so I was thinking we
I mean we're gonna have to do it together right
or am I just doing this by myself?
No I mean I fully intend
to go with you
What are office hours at the eye checking clinics?
Well, here, that's the thing.
Like, a lot of them are just during the week.
That's why we might need to go to Walmart or something.
Get, get in there on the late night.
Uh-huh.
Just the late shift at Walmart.
Sit here.
It's like some weird deal.
It gives you, like, a six-pack of Twinkies with every eye exam.
And you're like, fuck, yeah.
A coupon for a...
When's the last time you had a Twinkie?
Not too long ago.
Really?
My...
So...
I feel like it's been maybe...
At least 20 years.
Well, they stopped making them.
They did.
They discontinued him.
And then I'm sure they had a billion left and then they put them back out for sale.
Like these are going to be here after the apocalypse.
We have to do something.
My son, being a picky eater, one of the things that he watched a YouTuber and then sometimes he'll eat stuff because of YouTubers talking about something.
They finally feel like it's safe.
Yeah.
So he went out and got a box of Twinkies one time and he ate when he liked it.
So it's like, well, it's hard not to like Twinkie.
I know.
And I think I have.
a little bit. Okay. That's fair. That's fair.
They're good. So that 425 has been
officially checked off, making our way to
4.50. I got the hot air balloon
ride there, but I think we are officially
swapping it and doing 450.
Zach's going to get his own camera, and then
475 will be the hot air balloon ride.
Yeah, just not going to work out season-wise.
Yeah. Season-wise, heart attack-wise.
Heart attack wise.
Stress, anxiety-wise for Brian.
So the faster we can get there
to 475, we will
accomplish Zach on camera, and I get
watch Brian have a panic attack.
500. That's how you get that extra
Patreon exclusive episode every single month.
We did our second, The Pond, live
hangout last week. It was awesome.
Thank you guys for being there.
I'll have another one coming up here Tuesday,
October 21st, live in the Patreon.
And if you are part of the gaggle,
then all you got to do is slide on in there
and have, just talk to us. Just a
fun little hangout for an hour or so
every other week. So, that's one
of the gaggle perks.
Can you scat fest?
it's coming up
I mean this month's flying by
it is
so again
2025 live podcast
music festival right there in
cruisers
state line Idaho
yeah but the official
somebody wrote in
and the official address is actually in
post falls Idaho
you think they can they just change that
to because state line sounded cooler
I think they did yeah
yeah because if you look up one cruiser's
boulevard it says post falls Idaho
and then they state that they're
in state line Idaho. It must just be a
cooler thing for them to say. You got
you got to get into Idaho a little bit before
you get to post falls. It must bend over.
I don't know. Google Maps has them. May you
get it. The mayor of state line Idaho
hangs out at cruisers at the bar.
So that's how state line is.
State line's a big city. Pretty tight little
community. Tightening a community there.
Good stuff. So you can head over to
Scatcast.
Rusty Jackson is going to be there.
Is that his name? Hell yeah.
Head over to scatcast.com.
And you can pick up your ticket.
I know a lot of people coming from out of town
should be a lot of fun. What are we doing there, Zach?
I know you can have a bunch of cards, but give us the layout again.
It's the whole thing just to sell cards.
You show up and it's just like a baseball card trading festival.
Basically, that's it.
Okay.
I'm done with it.
No, we got live music with Drake Rozier, a bunch of scat tunes artists.
Okay.
And then we've got podcasts with you guys, podcasts with a bunch of different guests
that we've had on through JAR through the last three years.
Okay.
Should be a blast.
Nathan Chartre is pretty cool, too.
Gifts and stuff prizes.
He's a cool musician.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
These are some of the favorites of the Scat tunes world.
Nathan's opened for the Outdoor Comedy Festival last couple years.
Oh, it was so amazing to see you, too.
He did so great.
So again, that's going to be November 1st.
Go to Scatcast.com.
We got a sweaty, thick-ass flung dick hogbone on the show today.
I like that.
You ever heard of Hogbone?
Those two words together
Just sound fun
Fucking hogbone
Check out this hogbone
If I was a motorcycle guy
That'd be my nickname
Joey hogbone
Oh man
Can you see the leather jacket
Can I use that
Joey hogbone
Yeah
Can I use that for a character
You could do whatever you want with it
Yeah I haven't had a chance
To copyright it yet
So if you get your shit done
And put out there
before I copyright it
then you won't owe me anything
So before we get going
We do have to showcase this shit
During the pond
Our son Dustin just casually rode in
And he was like hey by the way
I have this tattoo
And we're like
Wait you can't just hide this information
But he also sent this message
It says
While Chop Stewie and I were out riding motorcycles
In North Carolina
We decided to go whitewater rafting
So I had my tattoo all exposed
and after we got off the river
our female tour guide
who had us laughing the whole time
we weed on the river
was behind me
when I got to the top of the stairs
of the bus
I heard her say
oh my God
can I take a picture of your tattoo
so there's a picture of it
floating around somewhere
check this out
it just says grow up
lick a butthole
and it's the same design
that we have on the merch version
that says grow up like a butthole
so there's a little flower
it's very bubbly and happy
and it's right on his calf
and after we showed that tattoo off
he informed us that on his other calf
he's going to be getting a coming in a tattoo
oh my god
his poor grandchildren
oh yeah they're just laying on his
deathbed yeah what's this mean
what do you fucking think
is it why did you
why do you have grow up like a butthole
coming in it's like you fucking tell me
brother I'm about to leave
I'm fucking Joey Hogbone I'll do whatever
the fuck I want.
With a name like Hogbone, it's got to be good.
All right, let's get the show rolling.
Zach!
Hey, shut up.
Start the show already.
So not a whole lot of funny with this particular eye.
What do they?
Oh.
He must be rearranging the furniture again.
Last week, they moved it, and then they moved it back.
Was that Jack yelling or was that someone that smashed their finger?
That was me.
Or, like, put a drill through their fucking...
It was a drill.
It was a guy drill in his hand.
So here's just a thinker for you.
Would you rather know when you're going to die or how you're going to die?
And you can't change the time or method of your death.
So it is...
I've seen this would you rather floating around.
It seems like since the beginning of would you rather's.
But we've, at least a mind haulage, have never brought it into the show.
And what are the pros and cons of each of these?
when you're going to die
or how you're going to.
Can you live with how?
Yeah.
More than when.
Okay, but there's like a percentage thing, right?
Where if it is like an Uber specific way that you're going to die,
that's going to fuck with you no matter what.
But if it just says something like heart attack.
Like a train ride or airplane, like an airplane?
Yeah, it's like, uh, it's like yellow train car.
I derailed yellow train car hits you
It has like you and your grandkids
And you're like Jesus
Fuck
Right
Well you're on a fun family trip
Your kids are trying to
Your son
You're just trying to prevent them from having kids
Yeah
Yeah
But still you can't change it
So it's all gonna happen
Can't you avoid yellow trains
As much as you can see
You think you're gonna be able to
But something's gonna happen
Well it's gonna derail
you're like you don't have to be on the train
no you could be off the train
you could be just sitting in a car or driving along
and then all of a sudden it derails and kills you
I'm on the night train
can you move to an island that doesn't have a train
I'm still gonna find you
yeah well that would be interesting if it did
if it fell out of the sky or something
so came up out of the toilet
because you can't change it
so something would prevent you from moving
to that place
yeah no matter what
or you're gonna be like
you're gonna be safer
for 30 years.
And then finally you're going to be like,
I can't just be on this island anymore.
You're going to fly.
And then as soon as you land,
a derailed train car is going to wipe you out or something.
So it's going to happen no matter what.
But then you kind of made that decision.
You're like,
ah, fuck it.
I'm leaving.
Yeah.
I'll go die.
I'll go die.
But you pop over there and you come back and then,
yeah,
it's like every trip you take,
every time you leave the house.
Or just staying there,
you're going to be haunted by this
Uber-specific way that you're going to die.
But again,
be more reckless with your life?
Yeah.
You go ahead.
Sorry.
No, it's all right.
I was going to say, but the odds of, like, what are some acceptable ways, right?
So, like, the odds are, like, there's cancer.
There's heart attack.
Dying your sleep, man.
Dying your sleep.
That's good luck going to bed forever.
Ever.
Yeah.
You'd think about it every time you went to sleep.
Yeah.
So there's a gamble on, I guess, the higher probability of things that you don't have any control over,
I was like the how you're going to die.
If you knew you're going to have a heart attack,
Like, it doesn't matter.
Be in the best shape of your life, but it's going to happen.
And you'd have no idea when or how.
But then the win you're going to die doesn't, like, what do you do?
But you could win out.
And it could be like 96 years old.
And you're like, oh, fuck yeah.
Which means.
Invincibly.
Yes, exactly.
Which means that you can just start eating whatever the fuck you want.
Take all the risks.
Take all the risks.
Get in all the hot air balloon rides.
See that, the, before we.
You even started giving details of the other one.
Yeah.
I feel like I was kind of leaning towards knowing when.
Because if it's the other way, like, it could be anything like it's a heart attack.
Like you're saying, like, you're just waiting for it to happen.
It's like, it's just the anxiety of like, could it be this weekend?
Or is it in 20 years or 40 years?
But knowing, yeah, let's say, let's say you're going to be 63.
And you're like, well, exactly what's going to, yeah.
You're like, okay, for 20, I have 20 years to do all the stuff that I want to do.
Even though it sucks to know, it also, you also benefit from getting to know.
Yeah.
Because you're like, my kids will be X amount of years.
You can plan for it.
Yeah.
Like you have everyone, you have everyone around.
You have towards the end of your life, you're able to really set up the best possible way to exit this world.
But it would be weird.
I mean, if it's the day.
like if you say 63 or whatever you're going to die you have a whole year of like shit when's it
going to happen but if you know the day you have a little death party you could and that but that
week leading of like the night before you're supposed to die imagine that mind fuck like tomorrow
I'm going to die at some point and you're like saying all your goodbyes and shit well I'm sure
that's what people with like it to a degree terminal illness when it's getting really bad like
they know and they're like see ya yeah see you later like i i remember that like i'm not going to
get too much too far into it but i remember that with my dad i think i've talked about it like
the you would get these polar opposites versions of them one where the cancer was winning and then
there were stages where it'd go from that you'd see him again and then it'd go back and like they
were just it was like fucking with them and you can tell it was fucking you know it was it was having
a huge toll on on him he was like why can't i do this right now
And then he would disappear.
Yeah.
Definitely.
What would you guys, to lighten it up a little bit, what would you guys do for your last meal?
If you knew it was your last meal.
I know one thing for sure, and that's mashed potatoes would be involved.
Really?
Yeah.
That much of a fan of mashed potatoes.
I'm from Idaho.
I'm from Idaho.
Me, big old steak and mashed potatoes, bro, doesn't get much better than that.
Nice.
What about you?
I'd fuck a whopper.
For your last meal, you're starting only fans?
There you go.
Be the first person to start an only fans for their last meal.
you're giving me all the good ideas now
I think you set up a fun for your kids
like you would have still the same
it's not like you're sick
and you're like oh I can't eat because your body
is deteriorating like it's just you
going through your normal things so you're like yeah
I want to get a whopper uh huh I want to get some
you're just like eating all the shit you want
but you could be sick it just says
when you're going to die you could oh true
yeah you could get really sick
and the last 10 years are
just you struggling and then you die
I mean let's let's say you're fine
but you die in a car accident that day
or like it's it's remember final destination
like there's kind of a little bit to that to it
where that person that in front of you dies
and you're like I'm next
and so you're just suspicious of everything
like how much that would fuck with you
yeah the generalizations of like the how you're going to die
I guess think it would fuck or they like
if it was a general death
where it just says
car accident or heart attack
you'd never want to get in a car with your kids and shit
I know exactly
but even though it could be
40 years from now
that you die in a car accident
the next 40 years you can't get in a fucking car
so why I don't want that
playing the odds
yeah playing the odds
no way
because are you going to take someone with you
when you die too in the car
you don't know so like I would never
you always drive alone
just in case today's the day.
Or drive a Tesla that's always on automatic.
Well, maybe it takes off on its own and fucking
Yeah, Tesla makes mistakes too.
But if you have a heart attack while you're driving,
maybe that won't hurt the people in the car.
I don't know.
I see where you're going with that statement now.
If you're on self-drive, sure.
That's what I mean, yeah.
I really do that.
Yeah.
The Uber specific way of how you're going to die,
if it's crazy, you can just avoid that.
for as long as possible, but I just can't, it just seems like it would mentally destroy you.
So I'm going to go with the when you're going to die.
I hope that it doesn't say like, tomorrow.
Next week.
Yeah.
And you're like, oh, man.
But even then, at least you get to action pack some stuff in and really make sure you
say all your goodbyes and leave on some kind of good terms.
The thing is, you were going to die anyway.
At least, why not be a Tuesday in October, you know?
Why don't it be like, why not you be able to say goodbye and do all the things you want to do?
because some people they get in a fight with their spouse or whatever and they just never made up with it and then they go and die it's like at least
at least i've got a week to straighten things away get this fight out of the way before i die
yeah before she moves on and marries somebody else imagine you can help her imagine your spouse fucking getting mad at you
knowing you're going to die like how could they how could you know that person's going to die and then
still get annoyed because they're breathing too loud always making it about you leasing you know what i mean
Like they're chewing their chips too loud
But they're gonna die in four days
And you're like
Can you just not chew your chips that loud
And you're like
In four days
You won't have to worry about this
Any chips at all
So we're all picking the
No Win
You're going to die?
Yeah
I think so
All right
Well that's the
I think that's the responsible one
Because it could kickstart you too
Man if you get lucky
And it says it gives you like a 70, 80 year
80 year old benchmark
You're like fuck
yes let's go i think it would be worse if you like find out when you're when your kids are
going to die or something like that would be that would be the ultimate mind fuck unless it said
90 and you're like fucking great max sweet like i don't have to worry about them at all because
i worry about that shit every day i wake up worrying about i go to bed worrying about it you
yeah mrs i mean just my brain went darker you know when like the your loved ones around
you're going to die and it has all the same day
and it's all 10 years from now
and you're like sweet
so you know something super tragic is going to happen
like the gas
explodes in your house and kills everybody
so you just make sure not to sleep in the house that night
and you turn the gas on
fuck that dude I'd go with him
there's no way
I know be a lot
could you just keep going
so you just leave me
yeah in a heartbeat
cool could you just make it worse for everyone then
could you go on
Yeah, I could go on
Dude, that's crazy
Because I care about you
And Zach
No
And other people
No, not Brian
No way
I don't see ya
Can expect this to be so
Sad
All right
All right
Let's move off to
What are you thinking about
Zach
Hey
Hey what's up babe
What are you thinking about
Eh you know
Nothing
Actually you know what
I'm thinking about a lot of shit
What are you thinking about
Let me just ask you guys
This question
What are you thinking about
Some of the most annoying things
That we come across in public
Lay it on me
People talking
People just talking in general
In general
Okay
Zach not a fan of talking
In the fucking aisle
Right when there's ways to get out of the way
Just stopping to have a conversation
Where people are walking
In the walkway
Human stink that isn't my own
Okay human stink that isn't your own
Okay.
People not getting out of the left lane on the freeway.
That's a good one.
Pretty much anybody driving ever.
Zach just hates people.
I'm not a fan.
I'm a misanthropal.
I'm not a big fan of that.
Well, Zach, you're close to what I find to be one of the most annoying things in public.
Is it my B.O?
It is not.
It is people talking, but talking on speakerphone in public.
I know this has been discussed across all the different mediums for many, many years.
And I'm with you.
when someone is forcing me into their conversation
for whatever reason
like
there's not a whole
a lot of times there's not a whole reason to have it
they're just doing it just because
you can't put the fucking phone up to your ear
and it doesn't make sense
if they're like all their hands are tied
but those people have Bluetooth
like talky earpieces in
which is also a little annoying
but way less annoying than speakerphone
especially when you don't know they're talking to someone on the phone
you think you're talking to you like oh yeah just buy it
You know, you're like, me?
No, I got two yesterday.
And he's like, they point to their ear and you're like, I'm on an important call.
I'm on an important call.
I'm talking about buying stocks.
Stocks.
Sell, sell.
Sell, sell.
Biscuits.
Web.
But I have discovered something that I didn't know would be the most annoying thing in public because I was forced into it.
So at one of Page's softball games, this was last week.
I they're playing well that's not the point it's a beautiful evening good stuff and I come and I sit down on
the bleachers and I keep on hearing like rustling noises I wish I had man I should have brought some
fucking foil in here like it was that loud of a rustling noise like like someone yeah exactly
like someone has like a gift bag and instead of pulling the gift out of like the bag they just
ruffle all the tissue paper.
Okay.
And I'm sitting there and it's kind of, kind of bothering me.
I'm looking around, like, seeing if someone's digging through a bag or something.
Because there's no way that would be a phone.
No.
And it's like, it goes, it goes in and out, and it stops for a bit, then in, out, in, out.
And then I realized what it is.
There's a grandma sitting a couple rows in front of me in the bleachers with her phone
on full volume.
and she's watching
unwrapping videos of
baseball cards
no no not baseball
Pokemon
I watch that shit all the time
I bet you do
okay
so it is at home
it is drawing pictures
it is cranked up
and she just has it sitting
next to her
like on the bleachers
as she's watching the game
and it's just
so I don't know
every 10 15 seconds
it just goes
Oh, Tani, parallel.
And then nothing and then...
Charger!
Exactly.
To the point where, like, everyone's starting to look at each other.
Like, is this really happening?
And then every now and again, you'd get excited.
And she would look down and grab it and put it right to her ear.
Oh, you too.
Like that.
And then the problem is, like, when she would pick it up, she would, like, cup it.
So then you would hear...
That's also one of the most annoying things that happened.
is that Brian, after three and a half years of the podcast,
doesn't mute his phone when he comes into the studio.
I'm a busy guy.
Oh, yeah.
R2D2 Alert would...
That may be not.
Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
And she would cup it, and then it would just go...
Like, even louder, and then she would get her, Phil.
And she put it back down, and this went on for, like, 45 minutes.
And I mean, no one said anything
But I was sitting there
And Brad
Who I love you, Brad
Was also there
And we started just like laughing
And I was like
This is unbelievable
I was like this is really bad
And so now at all the softball games
Going forward
We just look at each other and go
I threw out the game
And she has no idea
But she's there all the time
But how
Is that the only time she's done that though?
That's it
And I've seen her at every game
She has a kid that plays on the team
and then this time just happened to crank
card unwrapping
It was an exciting break
It's so bad
Like what are you thinking
Um
Why now?
Why at the softball game?
Right
And put some
I'll give you some headphones
If that's what you want to do
I'm not trying to say
You can't have your own little hobbies
And your own fun
But you don't
You don't force your hobbies on other people
No
In public
That'd be like just turning up
Pornhub
While you sit in the bleachers
It's the guy that showed up
With his guitar
And tried to play for everyone
and I was just trying to eat their lunch.
Right.
They hired me.
It was an RV showcase.
Yeah, right.
I was paid to be here.
Quit leaving.
I'm supposed to be here.
Yeah, right, nerd.
Don't be sad for me.
This is my job.
Why are you crying, mom?
Didn't you see the sign when you walked in?
I just had different expectations when you said you were on tour.
It's the tour model.
Yeah.
All right.
Superstore with Zach Flannery
Saturday from 2 to 4
I do like it when other people
start to notice
because there's a lot of times when stuff like that's happening
I notice because I pick up on that stuff right away
and then I dwell on it
and obsess about it and get really annoyed
and then I look around and other people are just like
sitting there with a smile on her face I'm like
aren't you
aren't you guys annoyed by this
they're not noticing at all
and like I want people I want them to be as annoyed as I am so maybe somebody else will say something
right because I'm not going to say anything but hopefully someone else will and then I can be like
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah he's right well that kind of noise triggers what is it misophonia
misophonia yeah so people that have that condition will punch a guy over that yeah
if my wife would punch her yeah and I don't have that I don't have violent thoughts or thoughts of
anger, I just get annoyed. And it's more of like disappointment that you don't realize how
annoying you're being. But when it comes to the mouth sounds and stuff like that, at least you're
eating. So it doesn't bother me that much. It's like, yeah, I hate it and it's gross, but it doesn't
make me angry. But in this case, it's like, how could you be so inconsiderate? And this was the same,
I just remembered this sharing the story that the card unwrapping full volume lady was all,
I'm also sitting next to way too excited for
freshman girls softball
grandpa like way too much
and it's dead quiet
because it's not you know whatever
they're playing softball but it's not high tier
softball but this grandpa is there
for I'm guessing granddaughter
and dead silent and out of nowhere he just goes
let's go Falcons
he just goes boom boom and stomps on the stands
twice and he does
this is like five or six times.
No one else is making any noise.
No one caught on.
No one,
no one picked it up and started stomping with him.
He's doing the one guy wave.
And then also because of my,
my music brain,
I'm also annoyed that he's just stomping twice.
Yeah.
Instead of going,
dun, done, dun, dun, done, done.
Right?
He's just going,
that good.
Bomb, bomb.
Let's go.
You're like, dude.
I'm like, get it right
if you're going to be so fucking annoying.
Does he do that and then go back
to this thing here?
I think he just went
Woo!
Where they're just
They're like
Cross arms
Like real like
Yeah
Real alpha
Giving himself a man hug
Yeah just alpha
Oh come on
It's a table cold blue
Yeah yelling at the umpire
It's always fun
And lean back
It was confidence
Uh huh
Freshman softball
Screaming at the umpire
They're there how
They don't know why they're there
They're probably on like probation or something
That's why I had never joined the ref
I was going to ref basketball
But then I watched them treat the ref that just in YMCA or AAU.
It was not worth it.
Yeah.
You know what's...
My ego is too fragile.
You know, what's also annoying is that our seven-year-old soccer game, those moms that
make sounds for everything that happens when they're watching, they're like, oh, oh, oh, get it.
Get it.
Honey, go, go, go.
Get it.
No, no.
That was my mom.
Yep.
Yep.
Get it.
No, no, no, no, no.
Go with it.
Get it.
Pass it up. Pass it up.
Good job. Good job. Good job.
Oh, oh, almost. Good try, boys. Good job.
Oh, no, pass it.
Just walking you through every bit of it without any of the lingo.
And it's not even like, not even like productive stuff.
Just going, oh, oh, oh, oh, good try.
Missed it.
Oh, oh.
Almost got it.
Oh.
I've told you guys this, I think.
But in the middle of a football game, my mom screamed out above the crowd.
Come on, sticky fingers.
Make it stick.
I didn't live that down for five years all through junior high and high school.
Hey, sticky.
Yeah, I was sticky fingers.
Come on, Joey Hogbone, make it stick.
Come on, Hogbone.
Come on, Joey Hogbone.
Jamming the goal, hogbone.
Make those sticky fingers stick.
That's it.
That's a good one.
My mom's go-to.
A lot of it, I'm sure, was just because it was your own mom.
but her word
it would
like you could be in the
front lines at D-Day
and she would
hear her saying this one word
would cut through the noise
and make my head
instantly fucking throb
and it was this one
rebound
oh jeez
rebound
like she doesn't have an annoying voice
but when she says rebound
like I want to
rip my fucking head off
Come on
Rebound
Do you feel like we're getting a root canal
All of a sudden?
That's a low-in rumble there
Yeah
Nice little vibrator
Need a little more painkillers
So there you go
I just want to share a new entry
Into what possibly could be
The most annoying thing I've ever
Experienced in public
It is weird
Now being the parent
In the stands
I used to be the player
and now just being around other parents
because I
like if I'm watching the things I'll like chime in
if it's helpful. Right.
If the kids get like all right
go down the sideline pass it up
like given like instruction like actual
Yeah
Here's an opportunity go do that
But just going like get it kick it
Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go get it
rebound!
How does that help?
It doesn't.
It's just for them.
They're standing there and they hear the parent go, go, go, go, go, go.
Like, shit.
Yeah, we should be going.
Yeah, let's go.
Where do you want me to go, bud?
All right, let's venture off that.
It's like fucking Chris Berman, just commentating.
Uh-huh.
Get back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back.
All right, you ready for this?
Thick, what?
Did I say Squabby?
Sick wavy?
What are they doing over there?
What is it?
What is it?
Is it a compressor?
What in the fuck?
Who is there?
I wonder, I mean, I'm not sure.
Hopefully the noise cancelling is getting it out, but that feels like that rumble is a little too powerful to just be canceled.
Fuck up with the grinder!
God damn, sorry, guys.
But the kitchen's looking good.
Yeah, it is looking good.
Dick time, Zia!
Is it dumb?
Is it interesting?
Is it cool?
Then it's dick.
There it is.
That's a...
Yeah.
I mean, I could go say something, or at least try and move what's up there, but...
That's fine.
The gate will get it, right?
No, probably not.
I just said that.
I literally just said that.
Did you?
Oh, I said hopefully the noise gate will get it, but probably not.
Then we come back and go, hope the noise gate will get it, right?
God damn it, Brian.
I wasn't listening to you.
That's all right.
I believe you.
All right.
So this is a fun one.
Black Swan nicknamed Mr. Terminator.
Fucking Mr. Hogbone, dude.
Evicted from town.
Carl Hogbone.
After trying to drown local birds
Good Lord
What a nightmare
You must all die
This has a couple different facets to it
That interested me
A black swan has been removed
From the Stratford
Upon Avon
After it became aggressive
With the area's famous local mute swans
They weren't speaking for themselves
You know
Oh good
They don't have an advocate
kitten. Yeah. The bird, named by locals as
Reggie and nicknamed Mr. Terminator
was captured by
Swan Warden, Cyril
Bennett.
Fucking what?
Do you have ranks? Swan
warden?
Oh, and he's been doing it a while.
You ready? And it's now being held
in a local park before he will be
moved on to the
Dowlish Waterfall Center in
Devon.
DeVon.
Mr. Benis, who has volunteered as Stratford upon Avon, Swan Warden for 45 years.
What?
Volunteered.
Yeah.
There's no way that was going to be a paying job.
I just like punching swans.
God.
Said that when Mr. Terminator first came to the town nine months ago, residents found it very exciting to have a black swan appear.
The black swan, not native to British rivers, was so regal in many respects.
A black swan is usually.
bad luck, right? Black Swan event
is usually terrible. Yeah. However,
for some reason, this fellow, Mr. Terminator,
as I called him, decided
that this is quite a nice place, so during
the winter months, it was lovely to see.
As word traveled about the black swan,
everybody fell in love with him. According to Mr.
Benis, who said there was no doubt about it,
he became more popular than William
Shakespeare himself. No doubt about it.
That's a Swanwarden joke right there.
Yeah, and that's high praise.
No one's just bringing that to the table.
Unless you have 45 years.
I mean, he's seen it all.
Of Swan Ward experience.
When it comes to swans,
try to show him something he hasn't seen before.
I guess picture Mr. Benis going through, like, the Indeed website,
and, like, looking for job matches, and it's like looking for a Swan Ward,
and he's like, got it.
Honey!
Told you!
There's no way.
You said it would never happen.
And he gets the email, he goes, we love overview,
or look at over your application.
However, we found someone with 46 experience
volunteering a swan award.
He's like, bullshit!
I'll take no pay.
They're like, you got it.
You got it, buddy.
Everyone was coming to Stratford to see the black swan.
On the one hand, it was great.
On the other hand, it caused a bit of a nervousness in a sense
because we didn't want it to settle him
and we didn't want it to get too familiar with our mute swans.
Now he's playing matchmaker?
Oh, they just, do they not honk?
I don't know.
The Mute Swans?
Stratford upon Avon is hoping.
to a flock of around 60 mute swans, famous for their S-shaped neck and orange bill with
a black base and a black bump.
I'm guessing it's the classic swan.
It's the classic swan.
Okay.
We didn't want any hanky-pankies or intergation going on in regards to the mute swan, Mr.
Benis said, but after a few months, Mr. Terminator showed another side.
The darkest side of our Mr. Terminator happened when he started to muscle in on a pair of our
residents with a young signet, signet, signet. What is it? I can't see. I was, I was looking
at mute swan. So, side net, maybe signaut. Let's go with that.
Sounds good. Yeah. Side note. And then things got a bit nasty. He kicked out the male and the
signet. Skynet. Skynet. He tried to take over its territory with the other female. Mr. Terminator
then started trying to drown and get aggressive with the mute swan. Good Lord, dude. Say something.
Oh, I'm so pretty!
Look at me, I'm white.
Look at me, you're all perfectly white with my yellow bill with a black bulb.
With my S-shaped neck.
S-shaped neck this, motherfucker.
Oh, now you can talk.
Yeah.
Oh, no, I'm good.
Yeah.
It's hard to hear you honking under water.
What's that?
Oh, quit fucking your wife.
I'm fucking you.
Mr. Terminator then started trying to drown him.
The Swan Warden said he was reluctant to remove the black swan saying I was going to be damned if I did and damned if I didn't.
Yeah, that's what happens.
I hear you.
Swan Warden, voluntary Swan Warden is not a job for everybody.
No.
It needed to move on, he said.
And then he drowned that motherfucker.
Just took it by a Y-shaped neck of it.
By it slightly escherved.
Inferior S-shaped neck
The process of removing the black swan
Wasn't easy, said Mr. Benes
Who is still recovering
As his chest remains a little bit sore
But he managed to calm down the bird
And bag him up
In the holding area
What the fuck's happening in Stratford
Upon Avon?
Kids are crying
Mute swans are like
Yes! Yes! Get them out of here!
They're finally speaking up
He killed my kids
Yeah, and I fuck your wife
Oh
Oh man
Today the river is quiet
And the mute swans are just relaxing
Now that Mr. Terminator's gone
I don't know if this is the dumbest thing I've ever said
Wouldn't the goose be like
I'll be back
I'm sorry
I'll leave
I'll be quack
And here comes Mr. Bennis
With the Shakespeare shit again
It's like a play out of Shakespeare
Things are calm
and it's just settling down.
Okay.
He likes two things.
Shakespeare and fucking wrangling black swans.
Dominating swans and wrangling.
And having the Shakespeare.
Yeah, no, keeping swans from fucking and quoting Shakespeare.
Fucking Mr. Benis, dude.
Swanwarden.
God, what a wild scene.
Look at this.
Here's a little picture of this guy.
He's bagged up and he's pissed.
Oh, I have a red beak.
Can't go anywhere.
Look when he's, look, he backed him up, like, those little, you pull up, like, a baby or some milk cartons in behind your bike.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, definitely Mr. Benis is riding a bike.
Volunteer Swanward doesn't.
Look at in the, the little caption underneath for his anti-social behavior.
After anti-social behavior, hostile swan.
That's a no.
That's a bad swan.
No.
No.
Mr. Terminator will be removed.
Oh, man.
No.
Dude, there's always one in the grid for a group.
Yeah, all right.
You want to take the next story?
Sure.
It's a dozy.
This motherfucker.
Curious what you guys would do.
French influencer jailed for six months
over fake syringe attack
prank video.
God.
What?
Not funny, bro.
A French influencer
has been jailed for six months
for faking syringe attacks
on unsuspecting members of the public
in a viral prank video
like how is this a prank
no people think they're going to die
look at you
you were so fucking scared
you have AIDS
here sign this release form
yeah right
Elon M
who goes by online
handle Amin Mojito
was arrested after the video
shared on TikTok
shortly after
the
Fete
de la music
World Music Day
in June
sparked widespread
outrage
in the clip
captioned
Mohito and bequeer
the mad stinger
a 27-year-old
pretended to inject
people with
an empty syringe
and film their
horrified reactions
I thought he's wearing
a little
mouth
or a mask
whatever there
face mask
a sick
pranks
a mouth face
the sick pranks
caused a stir
in France coming out of the country was
gripped in panic over reports of needle
attacks at student parties
in festivals. God.
Police received 145
reports of needle spiking
during the June music festival
although a few concrete cases were found.
I didn't even know that was a thing.
Did you?
Well, that you'd be just out and about
enjoying your day and then
someone would come up and inject you with some shit.
I mean, I've heard of stories, but I
It was like a thing that was happening.
I think I did know that it was, because it was, there were talks of like people wanting to avoid big crowds because stuff like that was happening.
I have a small memory of that now that you mentioned it, but I'm not, I don't, I don't know.
But it wasn't.
We read so much on the internet.
I have no idea.
But this, this prank must have been after all the, because those things were going on.
Yeah, exactly.
So is this guy actually sticking a needle in their arm or was he just like given a little poke like it was a fake?
like one of those ones
of the knives that go in
go in
I mean he could even be
just cutting the needle part off
yeah
and then you just get close to him
and if you watch the video
you can see he's
like deliberately
just trying to get them to notice
busy guy
it's about his RV
what is it
I check
I check up
is it a Gmail
no just video post
cool
YouTube notification
Hell yeah, brother.
So I'm guessing...
I gotta go do some prank vids.
I'm guessing maybe the needle
just wasn't there, like that, and then
you turn around and you see a syringe
and then you're tied to other recent events
and you just freak out. Of course
you'd freak out. Fuck this guy.
You'd run to
probably to a hospital.
Yeah. That's what I would do.
Or like, can you suck it out?
Like, sucking out the poison into a snake bite?
I think once it hits your blood, depending on what it is.
So, like, someone picks you, you're like, oh.
And it gets in your mouth, though, and that's just as bad.
Yeah, then you just do that.
If you get AIDS in your mouth, is it bad?
Yes.
Even if you don't want AIDS in your mouth, no.
Like, I wonder if that question's ever been asked in a doctor's office.
Any questions for me?
Mm-hmm.
Just one.
Just one.
If you get AIDS in your mouth, is that bad?
And he's like, yes.
It's not great.
Not ideal.
Could it be worse?
Yeah.
Is it bad?
Yeah.
All right.
Thank you.
Do we need to check you out further?
Nope.
I haven't had any AIDS in my mouth yet.
Just, you know, you might end up in a situation where you end up with some maids in your mouth.
I just need to know what's the protocol here.
What I should do if that happens.
This isn't a prank.
I'm happy that he got in, like, big trouble.
There are certain things that.
They've taken prank videos too far.
where if you're if you're impeding on someone's
like physical space or like touching them and doing shit
like there was that video that dude that got shot
oh yeah at the mall
because that you guy was being pranked and he took out of gun
and shot him in the stomach
at some point it's like
that something like that needs to happen
to just keep people in check right
because you think like because I think he was like physically
like doing something to him
scaring him you know
it's like fuck you
yeah if one of them's gotta
fucking get shot i think we talked about that
on the
on the podcast at one point
was he pretending to take his credit card
information or something i forget
i think that was a different one this was like a dude
that seemed like he was kind of homeless
yeah i think he was just fucking
with homeless people or something i think
a lot to
a lot to do with how corrupt we
or where pranks went
and how there was no line drawn
was what we were raised on
and that was jackass
calling their stuff pranks
when they would literally
like flip them upside down
in a porta potty
and then like
and then shoot fireworks off
and hit them in the face
with a bottle rocket
but those they were all in on it
exact but we watched that
and we're like oh yeah
that's funny because it's a prank
no it's funny because it's insane
and it's not happening to you
yeah it's the way
the only reason that works
is because they're all
they've all signed off
on if something crazy happens, I've accepted it because I'm part of the shit.
If you're just going up to someone in the middle of street and you're like pricking him with
something or doing, like they have, I would think you'd have every right to fucking beat the
shit out of them.
And that's what happened in a lot of these.
I mean, he just got chased around, but he does not show him getting caught.
But I'm glad he got in trouble.
There was that dude Vitaly, that Russian guy.
He's actually in jail.
somewhere now i think but like he would go up into the ghetto and just like fuck with like gangsters
and then they'd run around and have a gun fall out remember like a gun fall out of his pants or
something like that or pull their pants up or down he he did that he did that whole thing that
right of the bath salts where he was in miami and he acted like he was a zombie and like chasing
people around and he is doing that in the fucking hood oh man that's
There was a guy that would walk up and he would just go up to like dudes that were like in gangs.
He'd walk up to a group of guys and just be like, he'd like step up to him like he's going to fight and they would look at him.
He'd just be like, what's up, girl?
He was going to fight him.
What are you doing?
Getting clicks.
Yeah.
Getting a bunch of clicks.
Got addicted.
A video took off and now he'll do anything.
Yeah.
And you keep up in the stakes.
At some point you're going to get shot.
I guess you've accepted that too.
you will get you'll die uh so um yeah just a lesson in don't fake stab people with syringes
that's not a prank not a prank at all no yeah that's not it's not scaring somebody that's not
that's not tricking somebody that's them fearing that they're going to die it's terrorizing someone
can we say that's terrorism yeah yeah sure he's a terrorist right there's no political motivation
but for all intents and purposes why not yeah why not i get it you can be a terrorist without
being political can you no no that's one of the death that's part of the
the definition. That is the definition.
Violence with a political motivation.
My guess.
Like, if you go into a
place and you shoot up a fucking
building, they just call
a mass shooting, that should be an act of terrorism.
If it's over a political
ideology, it would be.
How about that? Semantics.
Semantics.
All right, let's move off to our next one.
All right.

But thanks to everyone who supports us
at that $100 tier.
And goes a long way.
Yeah, you get the personalized thank you video
and, of course, mentioned on every single episode.
This, I guess,
could be classified as a prank.
Terrorism?
If you're fucking, nope, not terrorism.
Brian, just over, you're trying to rewrite the definition of terrorism today.
I want some terrorism.
That's all I want.
Terror.
Woman behind hoax threat at Joint Base MDL in New Jersey wanted to trauma bond with coworkers.
Sounds like terrorism.
This smells.
This smells of terrorism.
This reeks of terrorism.
Malika Brittingham,
the woman in custody for making a false report of an active shooter at a joint
base causing a lockdown wanted to quote trauma bond with her coworkers because i just want to be friends
i just want i'm terrible at meeting people i just i don't have any good icebreakers i'm desperate
for friends i don't want to talk about the weather i needed something else
which i get yeah a i'm fucking i hate talking about the weather a criminal complaint filed
you know what i hate is uh when it gets smoky around here and
the Pacific Northwest.
Smokey, yeah?
I had a meeting with an old friend
I don't know, a month or two months ago now.
And that was right before I left, I talked to Cassie.
I was like, how many seconds in do you think
until one of us mentions how smoky it is outside?
And she goes, well, you're not going to do it.
I was like, I'm going to try not to, but I can't, I don't know.
And she goes, well, hopefully you got, and we didn't.
No one mentioned it.
And I'm proud.
That's probably why we were friends.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
He's walking, like, man, smoky out there.
but it's every conversation with fire season hits up here in the
there's a dad that every every time I see him
the first thing he says is nice day huh
yep
anything else that's what I basically go yeah it's lovely
and then like that's it I'm like I'm not taking this any further
yeah lovely so hand job still 50 bucks
a criminal complaint
god damn this smoke is bad today so
Rim job still 80 bucks
He's a guy
Wouldn't be comfortable with that conversation
So maybe I should start doing it
That's why you start doing it
All right I love you
Try that one
A criminal complaint filed in federal court
Said Brittingham
Who works for the naval air
Warfare center in Maryland
Dude McKita Brittingham
That's a fucking name
It's good
I mean
Does it sound like someone
Who'd call it a fake shooting
No
No
But assigned to the joint base
MDL
texted someone around 1015
a.m. writing that a shooter was on her base. Real quick, sorry. I said Makita. It's Malika. Malika.
Malika bearing him, which is tougher to say. Makita. Makita. Makita. Like Lefem, Nikita.
Yeah. Right. So she texted that she had heard five or six shots and that she was hiding in a closet with
coworkers. When she's sitting there crafting it, she's like, how many shots did I say there were?
If I say there's two, if I say there's two, it's not that serious.
She's doing research on how many bullets fit in a magazine for a certain type of gun.
ChatGBT.
Write me a text message about an active shooter that makes me sound friendly, but not too desperate.
But confident and secure.
What have Chad GBT?
I'm having a really hard time making friends at work.
What should I do?
And chat CBC is like, don't worry.
A lot of us have a hard time making friends.
Here's what I do.
Set out a fake shooter alert.
Would you like me to craft one for you?
Would you like me to make it humorous and witty?
Humorous or more professional?
Do a little bit of both.
Okay, no problem, Magida.
That sounds great.
Here you go.
Magica?
What's it?
What was your name?
Malika.
Malika.
Fucking butcher.
Macheca?
I don't know.
A text prompted a lockdown order just before 11 a.m.
After the person she texted, called the bases operating center in 9-1-1, reeling that Brittingham
told her, the lockdown, which drew statewide attention in multiple social media posts from
Governor Phil Murphy was lifted.
after base officials determined there was actually no shooter.
Our priority is the safety and security of everyone on the installation.
Sorry, I was just was picturing like, is there an active shooter?
Everyone's like, shh, shh.
No?
I don't hear anything.
I think we're good.
You think maybe they're just not shooting right now?
Be like, that's not, I mean, I've been involved in, this is America.
I've been involved in 15 to 60 active shooter situations, and you definitely hear it.
There's a pattern.
Yeah, they're not quiet.
Yeah, they don't usually keep it down, all right?
No one's throwing silencers on their fucking, on their ARs.
Okay, Brad.
Jesus, sorry.
So, no, there's not one.
Okay.
She now faces counts of knowingly conveying false and misleading information related to the use of firearms their federal facility.
According to a criminal complaint filed by federal prosecutors, it wasn't known back on Wednesday if she retained an attorney.
No one cares about how big the base is, but they included that information as well.
um that that is a i mean trauma bonding is powerful
sure it is so when you're in a lonely spot
and you're just trying to relate to somebody i get the motivation
god and it's funny because she didn't like lie to the whole base she lied to somebody
that she was talking to so maybe that person maybe she's trying to one up the trauma
she was like nope like i just i have a lot to deal with right now someone broke into my house
and like we were threatened they should
shot my brother and took all of our stuff. She goes, God, that's never happened to me. How can I show
her that I get it? You know what? I'm going to say there's an active shooter at a naval base.
I need to feel like true empathy in order to have this conversation. Right. And so she just went
way too far the other direction and now she's fucked. So there's that. What's going to happen to
her? I don't know. About to find out. He's going to get a roommate named Babetti.
Yeah. Hogbone.
Hogbone in the house. You'll live with Josephine Hogbone. Inmate hogbone.
Hogbone?
Yes.
Johnson.
Anderson.
What do you want?
Present.
Hogbone.
Harley just reps?
Okay, okay, okay.
You get it.
For the last time, you can't have a Harley in prison, Mr. Hogbone.
Well, I fucking do.
We can do that, nerd.
How does he fit it up his ass?
you'd be surprised
god damn it
who
who didn't expect Hogbone

all right we have some good news
should we hog off to it
yeah Zach please
so you're telling me there's a chance
Hooray, we aren't doomed
Yeah!
All right, bright guy, you want to take this one?
You want me? This is some great news.
Um, I will take it.
Yeah, you take it.
I'm going to take it real good.
Yeah, fucking deep.
Gavin Newsom signs bill that restricts loudness of commercials on streaming services.
Oh, yeah!
That's a big news.
That is a problem.
That is a problem.
That is hilarious because...
What?
It seems like it wouldn't be like a...
A thing?
The thing it would make it to the top.
And I believe what we have covered on this show when they started doing regulations for just TV shows, too.
So now it looks like it's branching over to streaming.
And we worked in television, commercial television, and radio.
I've watched a lot of TV in my day, too.
So I'm very familiar with this.
And on regular TV, it does seem like commercials have gotten a little better.
Like, you're not just watching something.
And then it's just like, Budweiser!
Like, it's just, everything's toned down a little bit.
So I think it's working.
and now
they're going
into the streaming
side of things
which I like
hang on
I got ads popping up
all over the fucking place
here we go
was yours a shoe ad
I didn't even look at
I just got rid of it
okay
streaming services
in California
will have to ensure
that their commercials
are no long
no louder
than the show
surrounding them
you'd think that
I'm not a
not like a
TV guy
technician
or like a
an audio guy
But you'd think that the
station that's running all this stuff
would have a limiter, right?
Yeah, and that is true.
I bet you a lot of them do have a limiter.
But when it comes to audio and movies and shows,
there's a lot more of a dynamic flow
within like a movie and show.
When it comes to a commercial,
it's compressed and it's smashed
to be as big and loud as possible.
So even though the show itself is like,
Yeah, because that's how real life is.
So they want the ups and down, it's the dynamic feel of a show.
And then the commercial comes in, it's just like,
Johnson Motors!
Yeah.
Tell them the bones, sent you.
You're like, Jesus, J.B.
Trucks, trucks, and more trucks.
We're going bankrupt.
Harley Davidson.
Ah!
Cruise on down to Joey Hogbone.
Tell them the Hogbone sent you.
We're having our 25th.
the annual crawfish
fucking cookout
Crawfee and cook out
Yeah
Woo
Let's see
Don't tell him Joey Hogbone
Never told you nothing
Don't tell you
Don't tell him
Hogbone never told you nothing
There's a lot of English mistakes
Don't tell nobody
Hogbone never told nothing
It's like
Open every day, close on Sunday
Joey Hogbone
It's not responsible
Responsible for anything he ever says.
Gavin Newsom signed a bill
SB 576 that
bars the services from transmitting the
audio of commercial advertisements
louder than the video content
the advertisements company.
It's a weird sentence.
Did I read it weird?
Legislation cleared the legislator
with no opposition.
What?
The legislation cleared
the legislature with no opposition.
Perfect. I'm just glad their priorities
are right. Yeah.
I mean, everything.
Nailed it California.
Everything else is just perfect.
Homeless is out of control.
Make sure those commercials are...
We, next bill will be to turn down the homeless population.
No, no one...
Put a muffler over the...
Yeah, SB 577
will be homeless people
aren't allowed to be louder than other people.
Fuck yeah, California.
Volume stuff!
We heard California loud and clear.
Like the commercials.
get it. And what's clear
is that they don't want commercials at a
volume any louder than the level at which
they were previously enjoying a program.
Such a fucking political
response. They also want to be able to
afford a house. You know what's
funny about that is I have nothing to back this up
but it'd be funny if they were just like
it's the Republicans
commercials are too loud
and like that's what got a
it's all these Republican
own ear monitoring
companies. They're trying to hurt your
earring, or hearing. Your earring.
Can't rip your earrings out.
Oh, speaking of earrings. All the liberals, all the fags run
around here. To blow
your eardrums out.
What?
All right. So that's the good news.
I hope it passes across the board.
But I also hope they regulate
the intros and
outros of these shows is what concerns
me. One in particular
is Schitt's Creek. What the
fuck's going on with that show? And if you
watch it, you know what I'm talking about. The intro
and the outro are
easily 70 decibels higher than the rest of
the show. And it's like
funny music, like
bing, bong, bing, bong.
And then the rest of it's like,
and then the episode ends and you're like,
you're sleeping and they just go
and then it's going, boom, boom, boom,
you're like, fuck.
I wanted to go to sleep to this show. Now I'm awake again.
So California, work on that next and avoid everything else.
Start with Schitt's Creek.
Start with Schitt's Creek and we'll work our way back.
All right.
This is something I found on the internet didn't know existed.
Zach!
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!
That's awesome.
I'm pictured it's a merch, like a fake motorcycle bar.
I think it says Joey Hogbone.
Mm-hmm.
Joey Hogbone's Bar and Grill.
Yeah, Hogbones Bar and Grill.
We'll get to work on that.
Hogbones.
You guys, I'm sure, I've heard of snake charming, right?
Yeah.
Brumley's Bayton.
Yeah, who hasn't, right?
Did you guys know that there is such thing as worm charming?
Did not.
No.
Didn't realize that had to be a thing.
Yeah.
So this is in the heart of Cheshire's tranquil countryside,
the annual earthly competitions come alive
with an electrifying challenge
the World Worm Charming Championship
originating back in 1980 by John Bailey
the deputy headmaster of Williamston County Primary School
his peculiar let captivating contest
grants each competition a modest
three by three meter plot in 30 minutes
to lure the elusive worms out of the ground.
Three by three meters, huh?
Yep.
And then what's that?
760 fucking grams of turkey.
like what the fuck are we talking
what the fuck's a kilometer
it's a little shorter in a meter isn't it
or is it longer than a meter way longer than a meter
way longer than a meter uh so I have a little
video oh no sorry it's a yeah you're saying mile
I was thinking meter not a yard
I was thinking meters to yard sorry
and then yes kilometers to miles
so look at this goofy shit
check this out
oh look at the nipples on her
I mean what
worm charm yeah you've got the ability to waggle his
four back and two
or in a circular motion
which is called twiggling
or we can tweak
which is such a distance
so they're shoving a shovel in the ground
and beating it with wood
come on
come on
and they have been known
to switch over
from one side of the field
to another to avoid bringing up again
oh Jesus
dressing up as a bird
why would that
wouldn't that make him not want to come out
the worms
would charm out of the ground today
are down under the ground
so down into the ground
we do worm Australia connection really
what that was like that was the ultimate high thought that guy just gave
is that because the worms are in the ground
they're basically trying to drag bring them away from australia
because they're on the other side of the planet
and he's just so fucking happy that he's saying this on camera right now
they don't really want to go to australia they won't be over here
so we want to get him out of o'ad he so that's the connection to australia
and he's been trying to get on camera for 15 years
to share this little thought that he's had
and finally he got to do it.
2025 was his year.
Yeah.
This guy's dressed up.
Yeah, it looks like a penis, but I'm guessing it's a worm.
I look ridiculous.
There are various techniques that you can try.
It's supposed to be the way that you hit the fork
and mimic the rain that attracts them to the surface.
They'd have no success with that.
So we thought we'd try doing it by dressing up and singing as well.
There is something for everybody.
Yeah, this is so funny.
Look at these.
It's a family.
They're just tapping the ground.
With the aid of Gillies, that's the people who can help you get the worms.
Thank you, Charles Darwin.
Yeah.
Here's the winning.
So then they count the worms.
And then we have the winners.
Look at these fucking worms.
That's so exciting.
Okay, we've got a big board.
They're tracking it.
Oh, they got stats.
Trophy presentation.
Do they store the worms in the trophy bowl?
She's rookie of the year.
Fantastic.
Great job.
Well done. Okay.
So, there were five of us.
We're on a tag team plot, so we kept on swapping.
World champion.
I got to eat them.
And we just used two garden forks and kind of rocked them back and forth and then
um, use something to.
Roped him back and forth.
We got loads of worms.
So when I was a kid, people, I love events like this.
Just keep doing weird shit out there, guys.
When I was a kid, my, uh, dad's neighbor, Ron,
oh, okay.
Used to.
His name was Ron.
yeah okay you're still not off the hook yet what's next he so so they would go fishing
I did have fish lot and stuff and so we'd go over to this you know little patch of grass
and he would put the stakes in the ground the electric uh-huh so we'd put the I'd help him I was
just a little little guy help him put the rods and the stakes into the grass turn on electricity
and the snakes would come up out of the ground snakes or worms sorry worms would come up
terrifying.
It's like bullet constrictors and rattlesnakes coming out of the ground.
You disturbed us.
Jesus, Ron!
No, they would come out of the ground and I would have to, I'd go around and grab them and collect them and put them in a little thing.
And that was one of the activities on like a little Saturday.
A little electric worming.
Oh, man.
I've never, I've never done.
I don't want to do that.
We should do it sometime.
That'd be fun.
We should come up with some kind of weird event.
Like what?
For Kenya.
I don't know.
Some kind of goose thing?
It's got to be a goose thing or a wiener thing.
Those two things could be the same thing.
Dude, goose charming.
Jerking off in a Home Depot.
Whoever can go the longest is not getting bitten by a goose.
There you go.
Like out on the island.
We'll go get the terminator.
I heard Zach say the shed.
Whoever could come in it the fastest in a shed.
In a low's parking lot?
Doesn't have to go to jail?
I bet we got a lot of competitors listening.
Oh, the loser has to go to.
jail right yeah yeah that's it
your first second and third place first doesn't you have to go to
prison for or jail for a decent exposure
two only gets like an overnight and then third place gets one week
mr meaner everyone else gets three months
missed your weiner and 10% off merch
yeah 10% off the new joey hogbone
t-shirt
and that's all you have to jerk off
to it's hanging up in the shed
dude his name should be ronald hogbone
Ronnie Ronnie
Ronnie hogbone
Ronnie hogbone
Ronnie hogbone dude
All right
Let's get out of here
Let's hear from the kids
Zach please thanks
All right
Let's hear what you guys think
Really?
You want to talk to me?
Wow
That's cool
It's quite the adventure
You want me to take this one
When do you want me to take
Or you take it
I want to prove to you
That I can read it
All right
Well I'll get my eyes fixed
Okay
This is going to be good
First email is a saga coming in from our son, Kyle.
Okay.
He writes,
Sup fuckers.
It's your unicycling, juggling,
juggling, retard son again.
And I got a double story for you today.
Woo!
Yeah!
So my, no.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
So my son's husband died.
Exactly.
Sorry, that was exact.
I was just impressed.
Yeah, he did.
I was there.
Exactly.
Just an ill-timed.
And I did it.
It's mostly what I do is doing ill-time things.
Ill-time confessions.
Ill-time insertions.
Nice.
My bad.
Okay, this again.
This is going well.
And my mom's birthday was pretty soon after, and because she's not doing great health-wise
or grief-wise, she decided to do a road trip.
On the eastern U.S., which fucking sucks, if you didn't know, everything is flat and
boring and so much goddamn corn everywhere, not a single mountain, just some covered corn
covered hills.
Anyways, my mom's
shoulder's bad, so I drove the 30
foot long and full parking space
wide RV for a full week.
I ended up being pretty, I ended up
being pretty sleep deprived, very fast
because my mom has sleep apnea
and my choices were run the generator
all night, every
night, or hear a
fucking freight train snore all night.
Eventually,
we got to Lake Erie,
which was so cool. I guess
the most of the time my mom had no we gotta try that
just try that sense one more time yeah just can't do that
we're gonna do it one more time
I know you can do it you can't just do that
let's try it again
I know I added so in there
I don't even know what happened you you messed up just one
yeah and then from there it was a panic
started just making stuff up
then you just restructured the whole thing
so that so made sense the post
correcting so we just
can't yeah because he
says cool I guess yeah
you're like it was so cool and you're like
oop you're like where am I gonna go from here
eventually
we got to Lake Erie
which was cool I guess
and most of the time my mom had been laying in the back
in bed watching TV
like I said she's not doing great
well we needed gas
and I needed to shit
and get some caffeine so we stopped
at a loves truck stop
I went in, took a leisurely dump,
and got what I wanted, and went outside.
My mom was in the RV when I started pumping gas.
I remember because I talked to her.
You can tell it is because the way it is.
You can tell it's an aspirin because of the way it is.
I went outside and finished pumping gas,
so I hopped in and looked to the back and thought,
I saw her under a pile of blankets and said,
all right, you ready?
To no response.
So naturally, I figured she was asleep and started the RV up
and got the driving.
Probably should have done a little shaky poo.
Oh, yeah. Sure.
I'm enjoying the drive.
I got sweets, caffeine, and a solid playlist going when my mom calls me, so I holler back
to her, why are you calling him 20 feet away from you?
I answer with the same line.
She says, no, I'm still at the fucking truck stop.
Whoops.
Whoops.
I had driven maybe 15 minutes by this point and thought she was fucking with me, and I laughed
and realized that she was not, in fact, messing with.
me, and I had actually abandoned my poor old sick mother at a loves in the middle of nowhere
in a western part of New York.
Ah, they got a glory hole.
She'll be fine.
Yeah.
I pooped a U-turn and then pulled in to see my clearly sad mom in a smile.
It'll make your day t-shirt.
Shaking her head at me as I pulled in the truck stop.
Not smiling.
Yeah.
She's just like, smile, it'll make your day.
Oh, man.
later that week
I stayed in an actual RV park
which was not my speed
but my mom wanted a fire
so I tried to make a fire
but alas we had no axe
so my Colorado and ass
was like
I don't know why I added the tea
like
who needs kindling
me I do that's it
so I failed to make a fire
in front of a bunch of flatlanders
looking like a foolish man
a guy did give me an axe briefly
and I got the fire going
Obviously the subject line doesn't have
Failed to make a fire like an idiot
It says covered in shit
So
The next morning we're leaving
And we decide to empty the gray and black water tanks
Which is never
Oh man I was never done before
I'm a man though
And I understand things
By looking at them once I briefly
It once briefly so I got to work
At the dump station
and the RV rental people said
to do the black water first
and the gray so it kind of cleans it
yeah okay
so I took
so I hook all the hoses up
and let the black water rip
my watch as shit flows down
oh god
down the hose until
bam
the in hooked to the RV
oh
this is so fun
as a person who's done this before
it's wonderful
the end hooked to the
RV burst off and splattered me
belly down in shit and piss
my own
my own and my mothers
which I don't know if that's worse or better
than any other options
I react fast and shut the valve
stopping the great shit splattering
of 25 and then
covered in Duky finish the job
of emptying the tanks while ignoring
my mom asking questions and talking
to me that too like
when something's having your wife's like
what if you just you're like shut the fuck up
I am covered in shit.
I will strangle you.
Now is quiet time.
Like this is moments where wives get killed because they're talking.
Well, but you should have done it.
How does that help?
Eventually, I turned to her and say, please stop talking.
I'm covered in shit.
And I obviously not in a talking mood right now.
My mom will do the thing where we'll be like setting something up.
we've gone camp before and
I was like trying to hook all this shit up
and like in blow up air matches
and she kept saying
I should have brought my
my uh
um
yeah the pump the pump she said I should have brought him pump and then I'm like
still struggling like a few minutes later it's like
ah man I should have brought my pump and it took
and you're like it took everything
I had to not tell my mom to shut the fuck up
like well you did it how does that help
yes it would have been great
but we don't have it, so stop saying it.
So let's blow, yeah, let's just blow this thing up.
I wish you did too.
Mm-hmm.
We're done.
I'm obviously not in talking mood.
Yep.
So she got, she soon, fuck you.
She soon got the idea, yeah.
She soon got the idea and grabbed me new clothes from inside, and I went to the shower at the RV park, uh, had nearby.
I was in there for a solid 40 minutes and scrub my, scrub myself countless times.
Anyways, thought of you guys would get a kick out of these stories.
Also, fuck you.
Hotter balloons aren't scary.
Oh, that is a, and I love that this story, because if I'm remembering correctly,
Kyle wrote in and he was sharing like some bad news that his stepdad had passed away.
And it was like pretty sad.
And I think that was the last that we heard.
He was going to go home.
It was going to be kind of like a big, pretty big financial strain to get back and make sure
mom's okay.
So he does all that and then he gets back and all this shit happens.
Kyle hang in there
You're a good son
It can't all go bad
Like this all just happened
Like I'm piecing the whole storyline together
But he went back
I praised him for doing the right thing
And making it all work
And being there for his mom
And then the next time we hear from him
He's covered in shit
Wanting to strangle his mom
No good deed goes unpunished
Kyle we love you
We sure do buddy
Alright our next story
Coming in from our son Sean
who writes, and it's a very short one, I keep forgetting to write this in, and I've been
a bad boy not keeping up on the podcast. You son of a bitch!
But this last episode I listened to, you, Joe, you, Joe, spoke about how your neighbor
finally caved in and said, love you too. I responded to this email. It was not my neighbor.
It was my girlfriend's ex-husband. So it's a little more awkward than just telling it to my neighbor.
Yeah, the neighbor was just the dick for the parking spot.
Yeah, the parking spot stuff.
I have for years now, because it brings me such joy for no reason, telling people, friends, family, randoms, whenever they leave,
okay, drive safe, love you, bye.
Even when it's just my friend going to bet, and they aren't driving anywhere.
I love this.
Even when I'm online playing games with friends.
Yeah.
But now, because I did it at work, my coworkers now say it whenever we're splitting up to go to our,
do our job at other properties or even just going to
different apartments to do work. Okay, drive safe. Love you. Bye.
It is a fun little addition to add on. Drive safe. Even if they
aren't driving anywhere. So now that your neighbor said, I love you back,
add in that drive safe part, even if it was just him grabbing his mail.
Honestly, his face of confusion most likely make will give you joy for the rest of the day.
You're okay, good luck. Love you. Drive safe. Son, Sean.
The thing is great about that is they're probably going to go in there and tell their
wife too like i gotta drive somewhere i don't know what's up with joe i think he's high he's like
told me to drive safe or he's like me am i supposed to be driving somewhere and wait am i late
