Starting point is 00:00:00 The my, the might is touch, touch, touch, touch. This time for the classic. D. Touch. Touch. Touch. Touch. Touch.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Touch. Touch. Touch. Touch. Touch. Touch. Touch. That we nailed that.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Not really good. Whatever. What's going on? Everybody. It's your boy DJ MCMC. Tiggas. Tigigigoo. Tigigigoo.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Jag and your boy, Steezie. What up, Steve? And we. got the touch because we are the DJs. I like to spin it. Let's it. Throw it back and dissected. That's right.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Good to talk to you guys. Good to see you. We're taking it way back with this one. I'm going to take that one back. That sounds weird. But if you saw the video right now, you can see I'm reaching out in a way that's like appreciate all of our listeners and our viewers on YouTube. You know what's up.
Starting point is 00:02:12 You guys should be on there if not. If not, you're missing out? because our videos are Titanic, which means they're going down. It's not right, but whatever. They do have the touch. I've been saying that. That of King Midas, because today we are covering the 1986 jam by Midnight Star. Not the Midas Touch?
Starting point is 00:02:32 What is the Midas Touch? I had to look this up. I wasn't sure. Even though his second line kind of describes exactly what it is. He says, I've got the Midas Touch. Everything I touch turns the gold. And that's really what the Midas touch is. That's what it's all about.
Starting point is 00:02:46 It's like a Greek god. I think it's a great god, right? Like King Midas? Wasn't that what that is? That I don't know. I'm trying to get my... I think it's like a myth myth-metolical story. Have you said that word?
Starting point is 00:02:56 This guy, he gets like a magic power. Maybe he had it all long. And he like touches everything and it turns into gold. And he's just like, I have all the power. I could have all the riches. But then like he touches like his daughter or something, turns her in a gold. Which is really, I think poke holes through the entire concept
Starting point is 00:03:12 of everything you touch turns of gold. because it sounds cool, but your life would be ruined. Your hands can't be used for the rest of your life. Like, it'd be cool if you could get it in like five minutes. And you're like, all right, strategically. What do I want to turn? I will turn these glasses into gold. That'll be worth something right there.
Starting point is 00:03:31 What about those remote control? People would pay some money for a gold remote control. But then, like, you know, you just strategically touch and you're like, all right, I'm good because eventually I'm going to want to touch my things. I'm going to end up touching my face. I'm going to touch my good, friend on the shoulder. I don't know, man, if you're smart about it
Starting point is 00:03:45 and you got good restrictions to stop yourself from touching these things, gloves, barriers to keep you from doing it, and gold is like the currency that we are using to, you know, get things. Fuck of that. Dude, give me the Midas Touch.
Starting point is 00:04:01 I'll smash with gloves on. I don't give a shit. I'll be like glove. Hold up. We got a smack, hold up. And let's get it. You know what I'm talking about. Your sound effects never helped. anything but you have to do a lot. So real quick, dude, the quick story of, you're right, King Midas, ruler of philegibria, it's P-H-R-Y-G-I-A, say it. No way you're pronouncing that.
Starting point is 00:04:25 P-H-R-Y-G-A, say it. I got a look at it. Here go, here go. Look at that. Say it. Get your fucking mouse out of the way. There you go. Freigea. Freigia, dude, whatever the fuck of that point. I'm trying too hard with that word. So King Midas, ruler of Prietaia. He has, he has. Helps a satire in need.
Starting point is 00:04:47 This is cool. Satire gives him, his name is a, Dionysus, something like that. Man, he grants him a wish. Can we call him a substitute reader?
Starting point is 00:04:56 I got this. I got this. I messed up. So Dionysus grants, Midas asked for his, for him to touch anything that turns of gold. Midas is over joyed at first. He soon regrets his wish
Starting point is 00:05:06 when he discovers that his food, daughter, and palace have been turned to gold. Midas begs it to reverse it. Dionysus says, fuck that. You need to learn for your mistake. and you're fucked.
Starting point is 00:05:17 And then he gets ruined because he probably does a bunch of shit where he's like, I've asked for more than I can chew and now I can't bite the sandwich of which I thought I must feed on, which I think honestly is like the synopsis of like every Greek methodological story. If you get what you ask for, you're going to end up hating and your life's going to be rude. So just appreciate what hence thou you already have. What hint thou, yes. Although I will say at the end, he said, all you have to do is bathe in the water's
Starting point is 00:05:45 of Pactolius and you'll wash away the golden touch. So all you had to do is take a bath, dude. So you're good. So you're good to take a bath. Go take a bath. You're good to go. And, you know, what happened to his daughter, though? Nobody knows.
Starting point is 00:05:57 She's still stone gold. She's still stone gold. I bet you could turn her in and get some money, though. Probably. I mean, at that point, just like cash it in. Cash it in, dude, it is what it is. Fucked up my family. But I'm here, I'm going to get rich as fuck out.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Some weird, creepy asshole out here is totally going to pay money for this. I don't know where they got the money or why they want this. but yeah give me more fucking money though let's be honest your daughter was probably on TikTok too often she probably was an asshole
Starting point is 00:06:21 you probably didn't really like her all that much anyway so you were like you know what pay me what era are we in now I don't know I'll tell you what area
Starting point is 00:06:30 we are in what 1986 when midnight star dropped this stuff dude the only there's many midnight star because they were a nice
Starting point is 00:06:38 funk band but the one I know is no pocking baby no pockin on the dance floor are you familiar I am of course Yeah that's that's a good midnight star jam Are you gonna play right now?
Starting point is 00:06:49 Yeah Pull it up It's almost there And I didn't ask for all this video bullshit Where there's like a fucking Man I hate stories and videos
Starting point is 00:07:01 When you just want to hear the actual song Excuse me madam You're standing still in a no parking zone You don't get a move on that body I'll be forced to give you a ticket So Right Classic
Starting point is 00:07:57 And that's what I know about Midnight Star That's the group That's the initial song I know they have, like I said, they're a popular funk band in the 80s, so there's plenty of other songs they have. However, I got one. I got one because I actually, it's a Midnight Star song that I love to play. Midnight Star has been in my rotation for years. And it's a song called Curious.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Honestly, I've heard that song, but only the curious part sticks out because it's the main swing there. But that song has some. Some soul to it. Baby making. It absolutely does. There's actually, I've seen like a line dance that has come out. But it's like a smooth line dance, you know? I bet.
Starting point is 00:09:38 It's not like a country step. If you got some swag, you do it. And I think it gave this one a whole new rebirth of life, which he deserves because Midnight Star makes jams. They make jams. That's something we cannot deny. So we wanted to do this song, not just because we're curious and because we have the Midas Touch, but I wanted to play a little game with us today.
Starting point is 00:10:00 What do you got? What would you like to have the Midas Touch for? Now obviously, Mr. Midnight, last name Star here, when he's talking about his Midas touch, I think he's talking about just having love touch, you know? He's not really physically trying to turn everything into gold. So you're saying whenever he touches something, something good happens rather than him actually touching something and it actually turning into gold? Let's go through some of the lyrics, you know, let's go ahead and I think we'll dissect that a little bit. Okay. Because according to the theory, or not theory, but biblical terms, everything he touches turns to gold.
Starting point is 00:10:32 That's a whole different thing than, you know, emotionally turning things to gold. That's right. So if we're going that route. I think that's the route is going. I don't think he wants to turn like every partner he's with on the dance floor into a solid block of gold. Okay. But let's let Mr. You know what?
Starting point is 00:10:48 I actually want to know his name. Reggie Calloway and Minnesota. So the situations are gold? Like he turns any situation into gold or he? Yes, the situations become golden once he, once he is there. Once he's in the building. That changes everything. Okay, I got this.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Go ahead. Hit me. You say you're going through changes. Every day, it seems your life is up and down. And you say that you're looking for an answer. Everywhere you look, it seems it can't be found. Like searching, trying to find the rainbow. Again, I feel like it's a metaphorical rainbow.
Starting point is 00:11:22 No one's ever found the treasures told to be, but if you're looking for a lover, everything you need can be found right here with me. I've got the might as touch Hey everything I touch turns to go So there you go That's what he's saying He wants his might as touch to be
Starting point is 00:11:40 Everything that you're looking for He's got that touch He's going to turn around for you He's going to make life better He's going to make life that rainbow That you've been looking to ride Matter of orically speaking So yeah I thought it would be fun
Starting point is 00:11:53 If we came up with situations in life that you're like You know what If I could have the mightest touch Is something Got it would be awesome So let me get us started. I'll give you an example to give an idea of what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Oh, all right. What's wrong with that? I was ready. Are you ready? All right, let me hear you go. I thought you would need a little example. You've ever eaten jalapinos and a bunch of food where the next day your stomach is saying, hey, hey, it's time to go.
Starting point is 00:12:25 And you hit the restroom and you know what? And it's one of those, like if you're having trouble. trouble because the spices are hitting the cheese and it's hitting the potatoes and you're like, my goodness, I wish I could turn this situation into a better situation. Boop, boop. Turn that situation into gold. Now it's all coming out smooth. I'm not having the intestinal issues that are happening, the bubbling.
Starting point is 00:12:49 And so that's a situation that I would like to turn into gold is those bowel movements that you are not looking forward to. I think we get it. Switch those up. I think we got it. Here's the thing. I told Justin to come prepared to get some might as touch scenarios getting ready. That was a good one. Here's the danger is when you leave Justin now, I know a lot of these are probably going to come off the top of his head, but I already knew.
Starting point is 00:13:14 And I was literally going to wait until you brought one up even to say that this was going to happen. And it's literally the first thing you was going to say was give you something like, okay, so when I'm shitting, right? Everybody agrees. It would be cool. It's a situation. It's a situation everybody's been involved in. And anyone it could understand. I just knew you were going to go right to that.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I knew that, like, for some reason, Justin's first scenario was going to bring us right to, like, okay, so I'm sitting on the toilet, right? Okay, I just knew. No, you ate jalapadios. You ate cheese, curds. Okay, we got it. We don't need to keep going over there.
Starting point is 00:13:51 You ate everything. Cranberry juice. It's all coming out. It's been discussed. It's been talking about. Give me what of yours then. All right. So I'm in a room.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Probably better than. I'm in a room. And there's a room. a group full of people and there's a dog in the room. Okay. I want to have the Midas touch where the dog just like runs up and he wants to hang with me. Everybody's like, oh, hey, there goes Skipper. And Skipper's just like, no, is that castle?
Starting point is 00:14:14 And he just runs up and he just kind of like snuggles up with me and I'm just kind of like, yeah. And here's the thing. I'm not even calling for him. Everybody else is just like, hey, skipper. Hey, hey, come here, boy. Come here, boy. This comes right to you. I'm almost imagining in this scenario, like I have shades on.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Okay. I'm like this. Oh, nice. You know, props. I love it. Yeah. And the dog does too. And that's how he knows.
Starting point is 00:14:36 That's how he knows. Are we thinking like German Shepherd or? I'll imagine like a golden retriever? Okay, I can see that. And he immediately like sees, oh, that guy's got shit. He's probably as cool as me. And I'm like, I'm not even asking for it. But then I'm gladly welcoming him.
Starting point is 00:14:50 And he comes in, he slows. I just kind of like the arm. And now we're like just kind of chilling like this. And now we're watching the Laker game. And I was just like, no, he found his spot. He's good. And everybody else is looking. And I'm like, man, I want him to snuggle me.
Starting point is 00:15:03 I'm like, no, sorry, I got the Midas Touch. Sorry. Sorry about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good one. That's what I want the Midas Touch for. I like that. All right, I got one.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Let's hear it. Single days. I'm going to single days. Sorry, babe. I wish I could walk up to a table. And you know how you, like, start a conversation off a little awkward, you're like, hey, you guys eating. Good approach line.
Starting point is 00:15:24 You know, you guys, Kalamari? The Midas Touch of Approach Line, right? Yeah, better than, like, That's one thing about my entire single life and single game was I never had, and our boy messis, who's been on the podcast, top dog when it comes to this, okay? He could walk into any situation and, blah, blah, blah, blah, say something, and it's works.
Starting point is 00:15:43 And then we're off on conversation. Me, that initial part was always a bit worse because I didn't know what to go with it. And my initial thoughts are always a bit rough. Like, do you guys know if I took a dump? Like I would want it to be golden. You know what I mean? Like, I just, those awkward situations first walking into a talk. You're single and you want it to be, boom, golden, and it never was for me.
Starting point is 00:16:04 That's why I immediately had to hit the dance floor. You just want to just go dance. That's your mind. You want to go dance? And they'd be like, yeah. And then there's my only might as touch I ever had in my single life. Get me on the dance floor. It's over with.
Starting point is 00:16:14 We're banging. You know what I'm saying? The opening line might as touch is crucial. And yet. Open is an opening line minus touch. Exactly. And Messos did have a good Midas touch opening line because he would literally just read something off the situation. And it never felt like I'm trying to.
Starting point is 00:16:29 hit on you. I'm not trying to pick up on you. It was just a casual. I'm so good about them. That's a good one. There's about three cats in my life that I was like, man, that was so smooth. So witty. They have the golden touch. Having a mightest touch of opening verbally. Yeah, yeah, that's good. I'll go off of that in similar terms, the introductory. I just want to have perfect depth with everybody I meet. Just the perfect like little introductory. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That happened to me recently.
Starting point is 00:16:59 and I fully thought about us because I was fully going in and he went with the dab and was like give me a hug I ended up hugging him I didn't know this guy sometimes you got to end up just like making the recovery like I didn't know we're going for that I didn't think we're going to end up like hugging but that's and it's not like I have the same handshake fist pump combination with everybody it's it's literally just we're always on the same level yeah because when you meet somebody with a good like opening dab like you're immediately like this guy this guy's this guy's cool dude I think we're going to get along. It's a great starting jump-off point for any friendship, relationship, person you meet, business associate, anything that you're doing in life, opening and then also
Starting point is 00:17:38 finish to close it out. Be like, all right, you know. Yeah, the exit. The exit. The exit. Exit death is close. Sometimes you know how to close a conversation and you're like, God, I just want this thing to end. I don't want to listen to you anymore, sir. Like, I don't want that. That's a spinoff I have of this one. Also, the ability to Midas touch just the last note of the conversation. You know, it's like where you leave off or you're just like, oh, hey, hey, don't forget to check them flyers out next time, right? And then like, you say something that just makes them laugh and you caught out. You're like, ah, yeah. Yeah, you get them both laughing on the way off. I love that. That golden exit, man. Back in the day,
Starting point is 00:18:14 when I used to like work in an office every day, like, that was crucial because like, when you have those like walking by conversations with just people that you kind of casually know and stuff, when you could like end it on a good note, you know what's going to happen. in their head as they're walking away they're going to be like i like that guy is that guy's cool i like him it's just a great way to because you could fuck up a good 30 minute conversation by just being like all right so uh i guess shit i think we've talked about everything where is to talk about here so
Starting point is 00:18:41 you can say that out loud and then move on and then i'm no but like literally like that's what you say and they're like yeah i guess i'll walk this way okay i was gonna go that are we gonna okay well i'm just and then you just to pull you dynamite out of their like yeah and guess what All the goodwill you just created with a good 30-minute conversation is ruined. Gone. In 10 seconds because you didn't know how to exit. Two seconds.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Two seconds. Yeah, it's just over. They're just like, I don't know. And now it's like you don't want to see that person the rest of the day. Maybe your life. So, yeah, having the Midas touch on the exit line, that one's also gold. Okay, you're sitting there with your girl or not. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:19:17 You got your remote. Right? And you just can't fucking find. You go to Netflix. Nothing. HBO Nothing Prime
Starting point is 00:19:27 Nothing You go through all your fucking apps And for some fucking reason You can't find anything You want to watch You either seen it Or it has an actor
Starting point is 00:19:37 Or Matthew McConaughey's not in it You know Love him McConaughey's in his name You gotta have McConaughey in it man Always makes something better He's the might as touch To just film Yeah but if he's not in it
Starting point is 00:19:52 And I'm still searching I wish I was able to Because it happens So many times where I'm searching, searching, that's what I want to watch. I press play and guess what? I've done search so damn fucking long.
Starting point is 00:20:04 I am asleep as I press play. It's like this. I've literally been in situations where you're like with a group of people like, hey, should we find someone to watch? And the process of finding the right thing actually takes longer. No, you should never watch anything with a group of people.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Yeah. I hate watching anything with a group of people. I don't know. Me and you watching sports, we can talk and watch sports. That's fine. And then us, all of us in the movie. that we're going to be maybe going over later, that's fine. But if you get a group of fucking 10 people and now we have to put on like a comedy
Starting point is 00:20:33 and you don't know if everybody likes the comedy, if everybody likes a stander. Yeah, I hate that. Yeah. Oh, if you had the golden touch to avoid that. So, you know, I used to live in a house with roommates and stuff. So we had that kind of situation sometimes. And I would try to avoid it to hurt the end of my time there. It was like.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Were we all watching? Yeah, yeah. I was like, I'll be up in my room watching stuff that I want to and maybe take a nap in it and people won't judge me for it. You know what I actually kind of likened to do? Because sometimes the conversation, I agree, too many people, this becomes not fun. But like sometimes if it's like, let's say four people. Four max.
Starting point is 00:21:05 We could have a good discussion about something. And sometimes it reminds me of like this was what we used to do back in the day when we got a blockbuster. The only difference is now we're scrolling through and not just kind of walk it around looking at the shelves like, I've already rented this, but it always does work. Should I rent half baked again? You know, I'll get that. And then let's find a new one. You know what I mean? and then you can kind of like collect and you're planning your night like that.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Should we go with the devil? Should we go with the Sinners list? It has a double feature that way it goes longer. Should we do a Shinners? What the fuck are you trying to watch Shinler's List for? I never left Blockbuster with Schindler's List. No. It was usually like, yeah, let's get.
Starting point is 00:21:45 I clearly don't have the golden touch when it comes to movies. And there's Schindler's list looks good. I haven't tried that. There's an Adam Sandler movie that might be good. It's probably not going to be. It won't be. It wasn't. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:57 You tried it. It was like, but that was why you always got the safe one. You got the safety net. I got the office space over here. That usually works. Old school, you know, like one of these ones that we know we can enjoy.
Starting point is 00:22:07 And then why we didn't buy them? We're going to take a flight. That just, that was part of the fun of Blockbuster, you know, I don't know. You always knew it was there to rent, and you could always just go down the street.
Starting point is 00:22:16 And I missed that. But yeah, so that's what I feel like the new modern day version of that is like scrolling through Netflix. And there's way more options now. And I think that's almost the problem. And you never, remember, like on a Tuesday afternoon, you might hear an ad for something or you just remember
Starting point is 00:22:31 like, oh, that's a movie that I want to watch. Okay, I got to remember that next time I'm like sitting at couch and like a let's watch a movie situation. But then you'll never remember what that is when it's like Friday night and you're actually trying to remember what the fucker. Or you remember it. You're like, oh yeah, I wanted to watch that. And you go five minutes into that fucking thing. You're like, I don't want to watch this. Or you then search all of your goddamn app so you pay a fuck down of money for it. You're like, it's not on any of them. How is this not available? You just Google what's app it's on. That's a thing. That's a simple.
Starting point is 00:22:57 I know, but then you check them all out and they're just not there. That's what I'm saying? You just Google what app is this on. And it's on none of them, is what I'm saying. Oh, that's your, yeah. That's bullshit. I hate that shit. It's like I actually used to be able to get anything at like block.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Like everything actually used to be available. I could find it some. But yeah. More so. Blockbuster had every bucking, man. And it's amazing that across having like, I'll pay for like eight damn apps and none of them will have the movie I want to watch at that moment. It's crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:26 When I'm drinking. or party, which is basically just weed and alcohol. I don't really party harder than that. But to know, have the golden touch to know, this is the shot. Oh, that's a good one. If I go past this shot. Right here, you're at your smooth. I'm at the perfect.
Starting point is 00:23:41 It's good time. I'm full partying. It's the good drunk before it gets into depression drunk or excessively angry drunk or excessively happy drunk, excessive any drunk. Right before you start like slurring your words. Yeah. You're in a good, like, okay, I'm having a great time. I'm really enjoying company.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Music is making me move right now. To know when to hit that point. Yeah, and then just stay there. Stop and then wait the half hour to know when it's the golden time to fucking drink another. Because then the rest of it just becomes a chase for that moment right there. And then you're just chasing downhill, you're running down that hill. And then you're throwing up on the side of a toilet and asking for your mom. And least you didn't eat the jalapeno's that the golden touch told you.
Starting point is 00:24:21 I did. And that's going to be a problem here in five minutes. See, this is all connected. Throw the song back on. We need to get back into it for a second. What is going on in this video? What's going on here? These kids are like playing a painting chip, though.
Starting point is 00:26:22 That is a fit. With a keyboard. That's full bottom to top, whatever purple that is. Getting it, dude. There's some dope fits in this. And there's also some good dance steps as well. These guys just look like they'd be a fun hang, man. I feel like they'd be a group that's like, once the music starts playing,
Starting point is 00:26:37 you're like, here we go. They're probably the ones that created that curious step that I was talking about. I feel like they could do it, just watching them. I'm always amazed at 80s, singers and artists and groups. They had the confidence what we are wearing. You're going to wear this. We're just going out. We're just going out.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Everybody wants to wear it. And it's like, I don't think we did, do my dude. But they go to the tailor like, hey, what is the brightest color that you've ever seen in your life? I want an entire suit made of that silk. And then a crazy tie to top it off. And it better be purple. And I'm going to have a Jerry curl. And a wildest mustache you've seen this month, which was saying.
Starting point is 00:27:13 something in 1886. Let's finish this video up. We're going to finish this video and watch the rest of this and then we'll tell you more about it. Let's see. Get up there. His mic is gold in shit. Everything is gold.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Drums. What was it about the 80s and people doing their like entire group and they would just be it in some warehouse? They love the warehouses. This is cheap. No, it's cheap rental. It is. It's an easy venue to
Starting point is 00:28:03 shoot a music video in and they're look at el debarge man i'm telling you my just by the way if you look at el debarge and then look at my such similar but different i'm gonna be honest it works better with him though i like i think that i like the look on him better on him yeah i think he pulls it up better than debarge yeah the barge just look a little a little bit a little bit yeah all right well watch our watch our episode the rhythm special for more discussion on debarge because we have covered Rhythm of the Night along with several other songs with rhythm in it. That was a great episode. Maybe get slept on because it's called the Rhythm Special.
Starting point is 00:28:39 People don't know what that means. But go back in our archives and check it out. Hey, 130 plus episodes. We got some gems. We got some diamonds to check out. Which side note, I got to give ourselves a little Tudhorn. We did a million listens in a month, people. In a single month.
Starting point is 00:28:55 We need y'all continuing to share, continue to put it, you know, subscribe. Whatever that bullshit is. We don't ask for it often because we're, me and castles don't like doing it like we like hey please follow it we don't like doing it i hate saying the words rate and review i literally never said it but you know what we don't want to hey it's working it would be cool we did us we would love to travel with this we want to do like stand-ups where we break down a song for an hour special wouldn't that be epic i don't know if it would be but we'll try it fuck it you know what i'm saying but anyway back to the minus touch i had
Starting point is 00:29:23 one more minus touch okay what is that but i forgot it all right i'll jump in with one Yeah, there you go. Because fuck. That's when partners are poor. How about the mightest touch to make any person that's just trying to start a political conversation with you, be able to redirect them, turn them that way, walk away, not like physically, but like get them completely off the subject and then not think it's a thing, not like think that you're trying to like make a statement by like not engaging them.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Are they walking away or are they just simply changing subjects? You'll just change the subject. Oh, okay. I got it. They'll be like, so who you vote for this election cycle? And you'd be like, I'll tell you. what I'm voting for right now, this liquorish as a straw in my diet, Mr. Pib. They're like, I love licorice. I love Mr. Pibb.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Right? It's so good. It's such a great combination. When did you start trying this, Mr. Pibb Liger? And then the subject has taken a right turn. Yeah. When I first tried. No longer about politics. Boom. And they're not even going to realize that like it was a thing that they started and now like you're trying to make your own statement. Because like anytime somebody wants to discuss politics, what they really want to do is just like their opinion. Tell you what it is that's right and like why if you think anything different you're wrong and they're ready to lecture you about it and i just i think you're like me and this where i'm just like you know i just i'd rather not i don't even want to get into this so they're they're saying something like what do you think
Starting point is 00:30:41 about the the biden presidency you're like or how about that bruno mars residency in Vegas right how about that gambling how about that gambling addict come on does he put on a show or what have you seen that guys moves and they'll just roll with you just whatever it is that you said they could be like how about that border crisis and you're like i know dude they closed all the borders bookstores like i haven't seen one in like three and a half years it's like nobody wants me to sit on the floor of a bookstore and read an autobiography about dave grull anymore come on you know come let me and they're just ready they're like dude i love dave grall fucking nirvana are you kidding me the food fighters here we go down this pat so that's a i might as touch
Starting point is 00:31:21 that i would love to just be able to redirect hit redirect on it that's a good one man it's not that one a lot. I don't know if you guys knew this, but Castle and I, we actually see the world very, like, kind of differently and a lot of different things.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Our comedy and the way we enjoy life is very similar. So we're able to kind of focus on those. But if you start going into subjects of, like, tsunamis and world-changing events and that we should do, my ass goes,
Starting point is 00:31:48 and Castle's like, you're fucking weird, my man. We go with different ways. But that's what's great. No, yeah. it's more just like Like when he lived with me down on the beach He's like don't you think about tsunamis like every day
Starting point is 00:32:00 How's people not think about tsunamis live by the water? I'm amazed by this Literally never cross my mind The water can kill us I don't know And I'm legitimately think about that People think I'm joking Shit does not own any rent in my head
Starting point is 00:32:10 I just don't let it I don't let it Like literally half my mind I'm sleeping I wake up I'm like tsunami Wake up Yeah anyways On the plus side for him
Starting point is 00:32:19 He's ready for Armageddon all times He has like G gallons of water In his closet of water in my fucking garage waiting. I would be fucked if like, you know, if the aliens came down and they're like, we're shutting off all the water. Which, by the way, when the world did turn off in 2020, he questioned a little, but he was
Starting point is 00:32:35 like, maybe my, maybe my boy should have thought about it. I was like, I told you. Here's the degree that I didn't think about it. I remember when it first started and I remember looking at the grocery store and like the whole aisle of paper towels and toilet paper was gone, except for like a couple rolls. And I remember looking at it like, man, people are really going crazy. And I like took a picture of it. Like man, look at it.
Starting point is 00:32:56 They almost wiped out the whole shells. Not realizing, hey, you better grab those last rolls because that shit is not going to be replenished in months. And it wasn't. And I kept thinking about that like so many times. I'm like, why did I not see that and think like, fuck, there's only a few left. I got to grab them. I figured by like next week they're like they're going to re-up again. But like, do you remember how that was?
Starting point is 00:33:14 There was like a month or two there where like you couldn't find any shelves were barren. I don't. You want to know why? Yeah, he was stocked up. He was stocked up like a motherfucker. I was selling toilet paper rolls. The people do you want toilet paper roll ten dollars a roll I was giving it I'm lying I didn't do it but anyway you get the point My final Golden Midas touch okay food food simple as that would you go into a meal and you're like I don't know if I'm gonna like this
Starting point is 00:33:40 And then you go and you know you take a dab and you and you put in your mouth and you're like I was fucking right I don't like this oh this delicious I love this I just wish any food you have could be the perfect heat, perfect temperature, perfect taste. Prepared at the perfect temp in like amount of time it was sitting, yeah. Might as touch on food. That's a good point. That looks more of a personal one just because I wish food always tastes a good and you always have that one meal.
Starting point is 00:34:11 You've got to force down. You're like, I shouldn't eat this. Why am I eating Jack in the Box right now? Which, by the way, Jack in the Box, if you'd like to sponsor the Diasacic, Degis, let us know. And we'll talk a lot more positive about you. Dude. But in the meantime. That Oreo shake?
Starting point is 00:34:24 Justin still drives straight to Jack Knavox just to like get an Oreo shake in the drive-thry. I've been with him as he does it. But then that leads to what? The jalapeno. What's? Okay. I'm not even trying to send you up for this.
Starting point is 00:34:37 I have Oreo in the jalapeno. I got one. Last one. Here we go. What do you got? I want to have the Midas touch to handle a deck of cards like a goddamn magician.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Yeah, I'm jealous of those people. You know, it's in the other hand. Mind you, I don't want to be a magician. okay because magicians can go screw I don't like magic I don't like when somebody comes up and they're like oh why don't you pick a card I go the way look it like I don't want to want to do fucking play although every single time I actually do watch a magic trick I'm like that was fucking crazy I don't I tried to figure out like I was trying to see what you're doing but then I'm just like I don't this guy just knows magic that's like literally where my brain goes every time but I just I just
Starting point is 00:35:16 I also don't like the cockiness of magicians some of them are little cocky I literally this all like I remember having an exact moment when I felt this when years ago I was trying to think of a cool place to go I remember hearing a place called like magic park I thought it was magic castle but I guess it's magic park and it's like a place with like the mini golf and arcades and like one of those it's like kind of way up there so like a bow winkle yeah I don't know what that means but and I said magic castle and I was like oh well I think you got to like be on a list and you got to like you got to know so many advance otherwise they're not going to let you in there I'm like wait what like magic Castle, like, yeah, it's like the magic
Starting point is 00:35:54 place where they do magic. I'm like, what the fuck? Okay, fuck. Even suggesting any of it, the idea that some fucking magic nerd would be like, oh. You have the RSVP, bitch. I don't think did you not RSVP three years in advance? This guy thinks he's got to get the
Starting point is 00:36:11 Magic Castle. Run along now, little boy, like some fucking dickhead magician. And I just remember literally just hearing that they do that there made me be like, dude, fuck magic, fuck magicians. I don't ever want to see a magic show again. So I don't want to be a magician, however,
Starting point is 00:36:27 to be able to just fucking handle a deck of cards where I'm just like, you can literally just do it as being like, hey, guys, you want to do a little five card stud? And just be like, and then you start like dealing them out. The most impressive show I see anytime in Vegas is dealers are so quick with it and they know exactly what's going
Starting point is 00:36:45 on in every game. And they can't fuck up. They can't get anything wrong because people will like come for their fucking heads and be like, hey, wait, Wait, wait. No, I was supposed to get that chip in. I would never know to fucking calm out on that, but high-stakes job, and they're just fucking money with it. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:37:03 Like, impressive folk. But, yeah, it would be cool to just handle it because I suck would handle. Like, every time I'm, like, trying to shuffle, I'm like, eh, I don't, you do it. You do it. I'll cut it. What, are you ready for slaps? All right. Out of five slaps, how many are you giving them?
Starting point is 00:37:19 The song or having a Midas Touch? No, no, no. We got to go song. We can't change the rules here. That was, like, three slapsed. and then a little triple snap, a little, a little flare. Three and three, good song, classic. Not one of the best, not something that, you know,
Starting point is 00:37:40 not a top five or not a, but has a story behind it. You know, I wonder what the Midas Touch is. Great beat. You could dance to it. One of my favorite groups of Midnight Star. I wish it was more like, I wish it was more like 11 o'clock, like, I'm a midnight. 10 p.m. type star, but we'll deal with it.
Starting point is 00:37:57 But anyways, that's what I'm giving in, a three and three. Stees, what's you got, baby? The Midas touch to just nail any carnival game? Just walk up and just knock it out of the park. Oh, there's three bottles on that little platform. Dung! And you walk, I don't even want the bear. I don't even want the stuffed animal.
Starting point is 00:38:15 She wants in, press my girl really quick. Dick control. You want the bear? Yeah. Midas control for dick control, which I think you have better at it than me. But I can't control it. When it's time to go, it's time to go. Might as touch for that.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Hook me up. Fucking throw in the little wreaths. ring on a bottle cap? That's an impossible game. Not for me. Midas touch that shit. One more minute. One more minute. One more minute. One more minute. One more minute. Damn it. All right. Out of five slaps for the Midas touch, I am gone with.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Can I have a reverb on that? Wait, wait. Wait. You want to reverb? Touch. Next!
