Tennessee, y'all 2. 1-8009-9-8789. Welcome to the Greenlight podcast. It is the airing of grievances. Chris, Kyle, and Macon talk some of their biggest grievances of 2022, the problems with the world, with their neighborhood, and with each other. There was a good bit of football news the last couple days as well. We're going to talk JJ Watt, Nathaniel Haggit being fired by the Denver Broncos, and a possible reunion of Andrew We're with to the Bengals. And then at the end of the show, we do a little history revisited. We talk some of famous historical figures and

revisit their past for a study on their kids. Canstability in 2022. Kyle Makin in studio. We're going to air some grievances. This is basically the free show this week. I've got to be honest. I've kind of checked out midweek. We will have Stanford Steve on Friday as usual.

But I will be in the Bahamas. I'm getting the fuck out of Dodge, guys. Good for you. You learned it. Oh, yeah. Thank you. That'll be nice. Appreciate it.

Nice. So, you know, that might throw off the timing on next Monday's pod, looking ahead over the next week. But we're just going to do the freak show today. A bunch of bullshit and just a bunch of bullshit. Kyle and I will talk about Avatar. We saw that last night. The reviews were mixed. Someone liked it? Yeah, that's that I enjoyed it. I tried to enjoy it. I tried my damnedest, but we'll break it down later. Spoilers. Spoiler alert if you're on the edge of your seat wondering what happens in the movie about the blue people. All right. We have a new theme music.

It is a JJ Kale song. Reed, you want to tell people about the process we went through. Is this for series? Yeah. Actually new song? Yeah, dude. Muddy's retired?

Muddy is retiring. Wow. But we still own that music, which is cool. Yeah. So, JJ. Jay Cale's a great guitarist from Tulsa. Hello! Yeah, there you go.

The reason I actually really got into JJ Cale. I like J.J. Kale for a while, but my mom was like, really, you should go down this rabbit hole with J.J. Kale because I was listening to a Neil Young thing, and he was talking about his influences being, you know, one of them being a big influence being J.J. Kale. and like he's your favorite guitarist probably favorite guitarist that type of thing but he um he's got this song called me the breeze uh and it's probably one of his most popular songs is probably the number one song on spotify at least there is a part of the song where he says he's got the green light and i was like all right well that's the name of our podcast and it's also one of my favorite songs over the last two three years and so we have up his estate and we had to pay some money like we did with muddy waters estate and uh now we have

this little clip of music that we're going to be playing in the front of the podcast which is pretty pretty damn cool to me nice and uh some people said hey muddy's screaming at me you know he's loud yeah here's something a little more chill and this will open the pods from now on until we buy another sample in a couple years we don't have anything to close the pod you want to keep muddy at the back yeah that could be good let's cut a different part of muddy and close the show out

and maybe fix the modulation probably pretty simple god damn grievances no that's not one of mine I don't listen to the show no I was going to say read might want

oh yeah I got you enjoy yourself enjoy yourself we're good to that yeah so it's exciting and I hope like it. We have a little NFL stuff to talk about before we get into our grievances and we're

going to do a historical figure cancel or what are we calling this segment. We've done it a couple times where we just talk about history and Kyle who's an avid historian weighs in and Matt who used to teach. Reject or revere. English? Oh, that's good. History. History, yeah. Reject or revere? You like that, Matt? I do. Which makes a lot of sense that, you know, we have this historical segment. We are the number one sports podcast that actually has a history teacher on the pod. Sorry, Ryan Rissillo, eat your heart out.

Big history buff, but you're not hiring teachers of America like we are. Ryan's impressive. He'll be the first to tell you. He knows a lot about fucking history, dude. He really does. He sent me a grant book. Ron Chernow. Yeah, it's fucking enormous.

I've been staring at it for two years. He's like, have you, have you tapped into Chernowe yet? I'm like, yeah, well, I'll let you know when I go to prison for 25 years. The fucking book is long. That would be a good time to, oh my God. If I ever get, if I ever commit a crime and have to go away, I'm going to make good on that promise to Ryan. But definitely going to read that grant book.

You know, I'm not an athlete anymore per se. I did just join a softball league. But I'm a podcaster, and to podcasters, gut health is very important. My morning routine is very important. My breakfast is very important. Walking downstairs to the kitchen to the song Narco is very important to me.

But nothing is more important than drinking AG1. I started taking AG1 because I wanted a supplement that actually tastes great, and I wanted to find a nutritional drink that could add to my daily routine to improve my gut health and energy. I just rip it open and it's over with. I don't have to mix a bunch of stuff, it's easy.

I've been on it for six months and I love it. It doesn't taste like it's super healthy, which is a good thing. It tastes really good. It kind of has a mild tropical taste that I actually look forward to each morning. This is the best option for easy optimal nutrition out there. You take one scoop of AG1 and you're absorbing 75 high quality vitamins, minerals, whole food source, superfoods, probiotics, and adaptogens to help you start your day right. Right now, it's time to reclaim your health and arm your immune system with convenient daily nutrition.

It's just one scoop in a cup of water every day. That's it. It's that simple. No need for a million different pills and supplements to look out for your health. To make it easy, Athletic Greens is going to give you a free one-year supply of immune-supporting vitamin D and five free travel packs with your first purchase. All you have to do is visit athletic greens.com slash greenlight. Again, that is athletic greens.com slash greenlight to take ownership over your health and pick up the ultimate daily nutritional insurance. Okay. Reed, hit us with the football. So the other day, Lael Collins was injured out for the year for the Cincinnati Bengals and people have been tying Andrew Whitworth a return to Cincinnati for him.

Is this feasible? Can he come out of the booth and play, tackle it, 41 years old? So he didn't practice a lot in L.A. Like, I think he told me, it's like it never happened. I would think the dude is massive enough. I mean, although he's probably lost a little weight. I mean, he was slimmer when I saw him in Vegas. Which could help him.

And maybe he's already shut this thing down. You know, it's fun to talk about, okay? Whitworth was a fucking stud there for a long time. And, you know, went through a lot of those Andy Dalton years where it was like early exits, never won a playoff game, I don't think. Obviously, he got to enjoy a Super Bowl in L.A., but it could be kind of a cool little chapter. his life. I mean, Thursday night football is over pretty much. Yeah, so, yeah, it's fucking

eating me alive here thinking about time machine. But, you know, I think he could probably come out of retirement and, you know, give him two, three weeks and could help you in the playoffs. It's the ideal scenario for a guy like Whitworth, right? Like for any guy, like any guy that played in the not too distant past, to come back with a guy like Joe Burrow, a quarterback, with a need for a position that you understand. These offenses aren't that much different. He could go in and pick up the lingo in a heartbeat. Has he shut this thing down yet?

I haven't seen him shut it down. It would be cool to see a hoodie. Yeah, right, the way he does the Amazon. Funny story about Whitworth. When I was taking my visits pre-draft, I went to Cincinnati. It was one of my 17 visits in 15 days. Damn, dog, you were well-traveled.

15 days. I went to Cincinnati. Eddie, I walked in, and it was in the springtime, I walked into the training room, and the only person in there was just this hulking, shaved head, human in the corner with a pitching wedge, and he was just mashing golf balls into the brick wall in the training room, and it was. He's an incredible natural athlete. I bet he swings a golf club really well. So, yeah, I think that could be fun.

And speaking to people that might eventually come out of retirement, we got to talk about the JJ Watt news that kind of dropped today. first off when you look at j j watt he's got 111 sacks um and if you look at that 100 to 150 range find me another guy who could get buckets up and down the line as as much as he could i mean rushing inside rushing outside still even at this age in year 12 he's flashed like an elite edge rusher at times guys 285 pounds so i he's just a very unique talent. Not a lot of guys you've seen come through the league and do what he's done up and down

the line. And, you know, they used to compare him to dad a little bit in that way because dad would move up and down the line, but they're different players. Different players. Jay J.J. Watt is a very unique talent. And, you know, like, it's also insane. It's insane to me how quietly he had nine and a half sacks this year. I mean, he might have double digits,

and maybe that's his goal, was just to come back and show that he could still play and then right off into the sunset. And retiring while you're playing well is great and everything, but I can tell you, if you're a JJ Watt, you don't have a ring yet, yet, you don't have a ring. Next fall, you might want to consider

he might be a gun for hire as the season moves forward. Exactly. Next year moves forward. His Cardinals contract is voided after this. year. So he's, he's going to be a free agent. But like I said, it's his first time having double digits if he gets there. It's the most sacks he's had since 2018. And before that, the last time he had double digits was 2015. So what I'm saying is he's probably been through more mentally than you know, trying to get back up on top and maybe just getting on top is enough for him.

He was the guy at his position. Yeah. The defense is out. Like when people talk about Aaron Donald now, he was the guy that we talked about JJ Watt, what was JJ doing this week? What did he do to this guy this week? How did what's his face play against JJ? Every week, every al-Iman was watching his film in 24th. He also had a lot of freedom. He was 50.

Yeah, and he was everywhere. He could do what he wanted to do. He was a freelancer. And nobody was safe. You'd go play the, you'd go play the Texans, and it would be like, where's you going to line up? Is he going to line up on him or me? Yeah, yeah.

It was like a legitimate anxiety you would have. Yeah. Or some guys would look at as an opportunity, but most guys are thinking, fuck like he might come over here but like i said he could win inside he could swim you inside he could rip you inside he could cross face he could go bull rush he could he could bull jerk and then on the edge he had all the moves um you know he was big and explosive and long and that was one thing that really helped him was his length so you know i look at a guy like that and if he's healthy next fall and he

stays in shape i bet you you could see like hey weddell came out of retirement he fucking tore his peck and the Super Bowl. He wasn't in shape to do what he did. But, you know, he rode to the wheels fell off. And he was a big part of that Super Bowl victory for the Rams. And he, I don't think Weddell ever had a ring. Did Weddell ever have a ring before that? So, you know, that was a big deal. You know, Farve retired twice. Randy Moss, there's some weird ones. I was looking them up. Randy Moss, did you remember him joining the Niners in 2012? So he was this close to getting that Super Bowl with the Niners. I don't remember if he was active for that Super Bowl. Yeah, it had to be right, because that was 12, right?

Yeah. So, you know, Randy Moss came out. Lynch retired twice. You know, obviously you had Brady and then you had Gronk. So, like, this is a trend. And maybe, and how long? Not that I would, yeah, right? Not that I would give Brandon Staley, Kyle.

Not that I would give any advice to JJ Watt, but here it goes. Like, don't let the Cardinals and how terrible this chapter has been for you and the disappointment of signing with the team, like the Cardinals and thinking like, hey, I'm joining kind of this young super team, not to exaggerate, but they were a contender on paper.

And it's just been so tough there. And I hope that he's not just being like, fuck this shit. Another thing is when you have a kid late in your career, it totally changes the way you think. When Waylon was born, like football was still the most important thing in the world, to me but there was definitely an asterisk you know and i think the clarity that that having a kid can sometimes give you can like push you away from the game a little bit and i wouldn't be surprised if he's

just so tired you know he has a baby is two two and a half months old and he's just like hey this is what it's about you know but i think next fall he might he might get some calls my first eight weeks are tough as shit yeah right and you're like damn do i have enough energy for this and it's so hard to pick a super bowl winner before the season or even a super bowl contest tender. It makes a lot of sense to wait to like week eight or week nine, like Sue and Linville Joseph did so you know that you're going to be on a team that'll be there. And it's harder now because of the parody. Yeah.

You know, when I was ring chasing, I was like, hey, New England, I think that sounds pretty simple. You know, like there's teams that could beat you, but there's no place like that now. You know, the closest thing to it might be like joining the chiefs next year if they retool. But a lot of teams could use a guy like that. Been really productive this year. He was only one of three, three-time depoy winners. And there was that range from 2012 to 2015, four-season 64 games where he won those three awards. He was a four-time first-teamer. 69 sacks, 119 tackles for loss, 41-pass breakups. And he had those couple receiving touchdowns and pick six and fumble recovery.

He was a playmaker. He would have been an all-pro tight end. Seriously, we said that about the baseball. JJ would have been that. Yeah. He flashed hands. Seven force fumbles. Yeah, no, he's a playmaker.

You know, like. And a couple of those returns, like the interception of fumble return, he looked like a tight end running. He didn't look like a, you know, defensive players. His brother's a playmaker too, you know, just like he's a baller. That pick he had a week, what was it, like 10 or something? when he came back? Yeah.

Yeah, that was crazy. Yeah, I mean, he was mad that game. He didn't get a sack. He did all the other shit. And by the way, Randy Moss had two catches on five targets for 41 yards in that Super Bowl.

Yep. Wow. So there you go. I mean, and that's got to be heartbreak him, but at least he probably didn't join. Did he join at the beginning of that season? I wonder. He was there, yep, week one.

Yep. Should the Texans retire his jersey? They've never retired. one before. Yeah, he did so much there. 99. Put 99 in the rafters. He's been around for 20-some years, right?

He carried that organization. 22 or 20? To what? About 20 years, yeah. But I mean, like, you figure if the NFL's around another 80 years and they retire two jerseys every 20 years, I mean, is that too much? Yeah. Yeah.

Put it in the rafters, but still make it available. All right. All right. Retire the rafter. Retire the jersey. Don't retire the number. Yes. All right.

Deal. Someone who might have been forced into an early retirement, Nathaniel Hackett, was fired in Denver. You know, hey, we all watch this season. It might not,

you know, early head coaching retiring. He can come back coaching offense. That's fine. But head coaching. Go to Green Bay midweek, get the Packers over the hump. Over the hump.

They're on fire. All due respect. Packer, fire! Yeah, it could be one of these situations where he's back in Green Bay. Like Madaggy and Kansas City. The way New England guys come back or whatever. Madaggy to Kansas City. I think Aaron all happier.

There was a great miced-up moment from his time in Green Bay where he sounded like, he sounded like one of those bad lip readings. He was like, I'm agile like a cat. Yes. Yeah, it's been, it's been, there's been a lot of low-key, cringy moments. Daniel, man. I mean, there's been bad moments from the beginning of the season. I mean, like week one, there was the field goal thing, right?

McManus and 64 yards and fourth and five and the whole thing. You know, they had more delay game penalties the first two weeks of the season. I think they had more penalties, period, than the Broncos had in franchise history over a two week. The first like five or six weeks, we had double digit penalties. The fans were counting down five. Yeah. And that's why they hired the clock management expert, Jerry Roseberg, who's now the interim, which is ironic. So you take the clock off his hands, you take the offense off his hands with

Kubiak late in the season. Take the team off. You take the team off his hands. And then you're standing around and you're like, well, what do I do here? And when, you know, it is a bit on, hey, that's life. You paid a lot of money. You jumped at the opportunity. You bet on Russell Wilson as well, right? I do think at first he was brought there to bring Aaron Rogers there. But then, you know, when when you do inherit Russell Wilson, I think most people were like, this is going to work. So I do feel bad for him the way it's kind of played out because I don't think Russell Wilson would be great this year with anybody as the head coach or the offensive play caller. But Nick Siriani, he did walk into a fucking shitstorm with Russell Wilson. And, you know,

It's funny you mentioned Siriani. You talk about some of the people that could replace him. Shane Steichen is one guy that's been floated. You know, obviously, if you're Sean Payton, your name's going to come up right now. You know, there's a few people that are going to be talked about. But I think a lot of times owners and franchises go the opposite way. Right. So, like, they had an offensive guru.

Let's get a defensive guy in here. You know, you're talking about Domeco Ryan's name is going to come up. Lou Anarumo. Even our D.C. right now. Isiro Ivoro. He, um... Did he turn down the inner mom off? He turned down the inner job.

That speaks to how fucked up shit is right there. Which sucked to hear. And one of Hackett's biggest mistakes at the beginning of the year, he didn't retain Mike Munchok who lives in Denver and wants to keep coaching. Yep. Mike Munchak, one of the goats. Definitely know to Sean Payton and Vic Fangio, although I'd love to see Vic Fangio

returns the defensive coordinator and the role that he really excels at when he coached like Sean Payton, but the question mark is Russell Wilson. But I mean, you know, like you look at this job and, you know, I don't know that it's a fucking sure thing that Sean Payton would want to take this job. No.

You know, I have that situation. Look at the jobs that are open right now. Well, Indy, unfortunately, feels like it's not as open as you would think because didn't ursay kind of double down on he might be the coach next year again what happened to fucking the whole runy rolling shit but uh you know like indies an attractive job they got a bunch of cap space um they're going to pick in the top 10 they're going to pick you know at the highest they could pick second they could pick as low as 10 but you're going to have a chance to grab

a quarterback if that's what you want to do i bet anthony richerson be there depending on how you feel about that. Carolina might be a more attractive job. Another thing is, look at the- It's a hugely attractive job to me. I don't know why people don't like the job. Well, not a lot of cab space. You got to pick a quarterback.

You don't want to deal with Tepper? I don't know if you don't want to deal with Tepper. I don't know. But I do know that if you're going to take that job, you're looking at Brady on the move, who knows who is playing quarterback, in New Orleans. Atlanta,

same thing, Desmond Ritter. Question of her. Yeah, you take the job in Indy. Now you've got a formidable foe down in Jacksonville. Titans are trending down. So,

weigh that against the AFC West. And, you know, Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes and who knows what in Vegas, but you've got two fucking Hall of Fame talent guys in your division you got to contend with.

plus the Russell Wilson thing you can, in a year you can move on from him but there would be a bunch of dead cap and probably handcuff you so whoever takes this job is going to be married to Russell Wilson which at least you got a lot of bathrooms.

Sean Payton smarter than that. That's what I think but if he takes the job there's something that I'm not factoring in because he's smarter enough. You think the Saints would even be willing to trade him in division to the Panthers? That's the thing. I'm you know like I don't think the panther if I'm Sean Payton maybe I wait a year you know try to

catch that that Caleb Williams uh train that's what the fuck I would do I would collect a check and hang out with Howie Long and Terry Bradshaw and those guys Sean Payton's a really good guy too I've hung out with him a few times we hung out with him for an hour and a half you'd like to play for him well I mean like if I was a young able-bodied dude oh yeah so that'll get us into grievances I think. Yes. Let's get into it, guys, you know. I think it's healthy.

I think we should do grievances like every week. It's good. But let's have that. We said that last time. There's a town. I've only fought for a couple years in a row. Maybe just at the end of every year. There's a town somewhere and you can do the research on where it is, but once a year

they meet up and they have like predetermined fights. I saw that one. On their grievances. I think it's really cool. I bet you would think it would be cool. Just run around. just beating smaller people. Some guys are going to be there all day.

I bet he loves fight day. Some people have a five-minute day there and some people are there for hours. Kyle's just handling beef. Kyle's entire calendar if he lived in that town. I don't have beef with anybody. Was it where is that? Peru.

It is Peru. Taken. Taken Akko. Taken Akkoi. Kyle moves in. Everybody just kisses his ass. No. No.

December 25th every year. Oh, What's Christmas? Jesus is coming back and I'm a little community members. All right. Well, let's get our tack of Kanoi on in here. The best moments in a sports fan's life are in football season. I'm not talking about September.

I'm not talking about the first week in October. I'm not even talking about the second week in October. I'm talking about when it gets colder, the temperature drops, the games get bigger, the hits get harder, and you can curl up and watch some meaningful football. I like to do it with a Miller light from the, fridge and a cold frosty mug from the freezer. Frosty mug meat, a cold, beautiful can of Miller

light from my fridge. That's teamwork. We come together. We can make a great play out there. And the best play to make on a Sunday is a nice cold Miller light and a frosty mug at home. That's my favorite thing. Maybe a fire in the fireplace. Yeah, now we're talking. But Miller Light, it's an original and it's more than that. It's been a fan favorite since 1975. The best part, no matter how your team plays, Miller Light is always a winner. The perfect beer for Sundays, I gave you the hot tip. Having that frosty mug is a lot like having home field advantage. I mean, like, it just makes everything better for your boy and your boy's friends who file

in every Sunday to enjoy cold, ice cold Miller Light at my house. I mean, we have a lot of people over, and I've got to have the Miller Light stocked up. A lot of light beer cuts back on the most crucial ingredient flavor, which is 96 calories and 3.2 carbs for 12 ounce serving. Miller Light, quick on its feet, heavy hitting on flavor. No wonder it's been MVP from day one. This football season, enjoy the sweet taste of victory with Miller Light, the original light beer.

You know, guys, I was having a hard time figuring grievances that centered around y'all because I really like y'all. Oh, centered around y'all. Well, no, I have plenty for the rest of the world, but. Well, one that I have that everybody else has a mailbox, and our mailbox is across the road. like we have to go down to the end of our road and then cross another road to get our mail. I don't know if that's...

That's not standard. Standard. It's a real grievance because right now... Who is the grievance erred towards, though? The city. VDOT, one of your former America's teams. Yeah, well, luckily I got it in with that. Well, they're on my team. VDOT's balls out of your mouth,

I can understand the grievance. How often do you check your mail? I probably check my mail once a day Once a day I would say that that's sufficient Yeah once a day It's good for your health though You know take a couple long walks

It's an activity When you live outside of Charlottesville There's not a lot to do But did you It's nice to get out of the house Did you explain it clearly enough You got like a long gravel road Too and then you got across a road

You got across a road I got a grievance The people that try to check into my house I live in a country club and for some reason the fucking GPS on some of these geysers leads them right to my doorstep. They're trying to check into redacted country club. I was out there and I had a mullet, had no shirt on. I had just some shorts.

I was walking around barefoot in the gravel. Some guy tries to hand me his bags last summer. So my grievances. Did you take them? No, I said this is a residence. I want to take it about a long walk. There's a kid driving on a fucking, a little tight. four-wheeler that looks like a velociraptor you think this is the country club imagine how long a

hotel person could make you wait if they had your bags you should have made him wait a long time just take no yeah yeah yeah yeah i just tell them it's down the road but that's a grievance for me you talking about the mailbox that's one of my biggest grievances about where i live trash guys they drive fast making yeah well they got a lot to do yeah well they drive you see just hanging off that coasters. Just hang off that shit? 6 a.m. just having the best ride of the day. It's like Mad Max.

It kind of is mad max. I'll say this. I'm pretty good at hanging on to things. Yeah. And I don't mind bad smells. That might be a good one for me. And you're in the apparently everybody in the cash business is in the mob. Does you give yourself a

grievance? Well, no, like waste management might be up my alley. Yeah, you might be. You got to move to New Jersey. Usually that's a front front though for something else. Grievance. wrong occupation yeah well and i like a grift of all the the occupations that if i was dating a girl would scare the shit out of me about like what her dad did for a living waste management is like top five yeah i dated a gal who's whose dad was the sheriff oh yeah he's got a fucking big gun on his hip big old gun yeah but waste management might be even scarier definitely because they got cousins

though you're looking wacky to take your thumbs off and shit like that yeah be no whack and you don't If you don't leave your trash out on Thursday morning by 8 a.m. Yeah. You're dead. What does your dad do, podcaster? That's not real intimidating. Yeah, I got to learn like Brazilian jiu-jitsu or something, you know, lest I have a daughter. Yeah.

Yeah. It's tough out here. Yeah. What else do you agree? What other grievances, guys? Uh, reed just went and got y'all two, a pair of eyeglasses. and I was left out. I've been sitting in the entire afternoon.

You got glasses. You went to the corner of the room and found those glasses. They're wearing cool 3D-ass glasses. Look like the goddamn blues brothers. Okay, well, speaking of 3D glasses. And I look like Frank Reich on a Thursday night for fuck's sake. Chris, you look pretty cool. A grievance for me is when you try to butter popcorn,

it doesn't go all the way to the bottom. Just generally a grievance against movie theaters? Yeah, that's a general grievance. like, you know, yes, for extra popcorn. And the first three bites are like, wow, that might be too much butter. And then the next 100. Yeah, the butter wasn't real. At Avatar last night, which is going to show up in grievances here in about two minutes.

They weren't real on the ball there at that movie theater. First grievance, they had a long-ass line. I waited in it for many minutes, got to the front and tried to pay cash because I lost my wallet, don't have my Amex. And they were like, this isn't the case. You can't pay cash in this. line. You have to go over to that line. I'm like, can I give you the cash and you can walk it over to that register? Nah. Also, multiple soap dispensers, uh, not operating. Uh, root beer out of order. All the

root beers. Every fucking dispenser, the whole 30 foot wide, uh, you know, predanza there. No root beer. None of them. I was like, do you have root beer? And that one over there, he's like, mm-mm. So I had to get fucking Sierra missed. Well, you got the red one first. You got the red one first that had no... I got fruit punch. I had to get fruit punch the first time. No carbonation. It wasn't like Hawaiian punch.

Where'd you get the cash from? Greedin's. Let me pull out more than $300. ATMs? What is this? 1997? You ever using ATM? Not...

No. Dude, ATMs are still out there, bro. Well, I know they're out there, but who's using them? Me? From time to time. Wow. I got to pay sketchy folks. You just don't have to...

You don't buy anything that requires. You ever heard of the black market? Requires cash. Right. That's it. Black market's all around us. It's the fourth dimension. You just can't see it.

You just have to be willing to pay cash. You're making ATMs out to be like just the dens of sin. Right. Some people just take cash out to buy groceries. No, that's a bit much. Okay. Here's a grievance. Kyle recently asked a marijuana cigarette on my laptop.

That was an accident. do it like, hey, I'm asking this on the back. I was passing it from somebody over here will remain unnamed to Chris. Sometimes I'm smoking here. Guys, you know, we're fucking artists in here. Sometimes you got to have inspiration. Yeah. It's our fifth podcast

this week. Like benzodiazepines. Oh, fucking grievance. Corporate Greg. He's got the flu. He's got us doing five podcasts a week. Golly day. That's a lot of work, Greg. Big fucking grievance. Motrin's Motrin, liquid concentrate.

Yeah. Out everywhere. What do you mean? Out. You go to CVS, they're out. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You got to call my fucking mother-in-law in New Jersey to go get children's fucking Motrin.

We got to drive it down. You have a motron ship. Talk about Black Market. We're crossing state lines with the shit. Yeah. How about the cops call you and to question you and they're like we were opening your packages? You're like, fuck.

Yeah. No, it's the motron. You'll never catch us. Even worse. Don't come to my house. I got children. I know. I'm going to have a group text of dads just so like there's like a medicine. Okay. Chick-fil-A. Can we open on Sunday already?

Can we open on Sunday like yesterday, please? I think Chick-fil-A has been featured in each one of our grievances. I, man, just I will, you can give me Romans 27 on the way out the drive-through, man. I'll take it and I will happily read it. I will read it under the awning. I'll get a small crown of four. I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. read it. I will read John 316 out loud to the cashier. That's really funny. I'll do it. That would be a much better way of spreading the word than closing up shop. Yeah. Yeah, it sounds to me

like you're lazy. Mm-hmm. You know? Mm-hmm. Church. They're missing out a lot. Hustle harder for God, Chick-fil-A. How much money are they missing out on on? You're leaving money on the table at Sunday. Read, how much money do they miss out on Sundays? Because the, That's got to be what, like a billion dollars a day? You can give some of my money that I bought the waffle fries with to Joel Olisteen. I don't care. He can get a cut. Don't give a fuck.

Just want some waffle fries. A little bit hung over. Want a blue power raid. More than a billion dollars. I don't know why you guys only do blue power raid. More than a billion dollars. That's like one third of the budget of the, the absolute dumpster fire of a film, Avatar, the way of the water. that's another grievance okay if you want to be Christian you will stay open for however many

sundays it takes you cover the war i'm gonna get to avatar here shortly it's a terrible movie it's a terrible movie okay we went to see it last night okay it was a it was not a terrible relative to what you put into that movie relative to avatar one what's the budget on that movie it was like 800 million or something like that yeah but i could do a lot with 800 million I could sign like Juan Soto. You could get Patrick. Instead, we're all sitting there held hostage, watching a bunch of blue people. It's not that deep, guys.

It's not that deep. It was pretty deep for me. It was deep. It was kind of deep. There's a lot of girl power in there. I'm a girl dad, and I saw some badass chicks in there. You know, those avatar, you know, gals, they're all like track stars. They're all running around like volleyball chicks.

and the dudes are all GQ models. That's kind of standoutish to me. But the animals are incredible. The big whales that they bond with. I'm just saying it was... What did you think, Matt? It was supposed to be a really deep-ass movie. And I was like, this is what...

It was the exact thing. So spider lets his jarhead dad live, and they just... Yeah. They hug on the rock, and now they're sea people. The spider... Spider- Monkey Boy is the problem. Justin Bieber sucked in that movie. Let's talk about Ryder.

Let's talk about Ryder for a second. I think that in the... next movie spider's going to be grown up spider monkey boy spider man he's gonna be uh he's the worst jason moa but he's still going to be the same size compared to the avatar so he the first scene's gonna be jason moa stabbing a fish yes and then it'll be like girl i did it look dad and then overwalks jake salee and you at first you think that jason moa is all big and maybe he's the same size of the avatars and no jake sally still he pats him on the head he's like good job jason explain that

me in layman's Jason Momoa is going to be that kid grown up. Yeah but he won't the size difference is still the same. Okay got it got it got it so he's still small in the avatar. Where is the oxygen that this kid's breathing all movie? Yeah he doesn't have a tank

doesn't make any sense to me. I'll tell you what man those blue the blue marines were the scariest fucking people ever like they're the same ones from the first movie I understand the first and I understand I watch Avatar I didn't watch Avatar one. I watched Avatar one today.

I was confused. I was confused. Sigourney Weaver was there. Her daughter was awesome. Her daughter was obviously a total beach gal. She was a total beach gal. That was it for her. She was trapped in the forest.

She went to the beach and she was just like playing the bongos in the surf. She can make schools of fish move around and work. She was a hippie. She was a total hippie. Megan didn't see it. Matt, what was your takeaway? It was way too long.

It was way too long. There was some good scenes in it. some of the battle scenes were pretty cool, but it was like, pretty epic, self-indulgent. They wouldn't edit it down. There's an hour and a half of a good movie in there, but not way too much with the metaphor. We're like James Cameron in here. We used to be like James Cameron in here with like three-hour pots.

Okay, what stood out to you as unrealistic other than the seven-foot-tall blue people? To me, it was the waves snacking the boats. How do you give the- They're not going to hold on? The people aren't holding on. You could tell me they gave that fucking big whale a henna tattoo cow? Yeah. That was like, I was like, all right, we're doing too much.

I have a grievance with avatars. Is that James Cameron? I have a grievance for James Cameron for making Australian people seem to be real outlaws and animal killers. Because the captain on that hunt was a prison. The captain on that hunt for the whales, the two hookas or whatever. that guy was a savage and he was a bloodthirsty brain serum

sucking respectfully black market you think that that Australians are getting a bad rap unfairly portrayed in films yes okay go ahead

y'all you all speaking with conviction has been entertaining but as someone who hasn't seen the film you haven't done a job at all of describing the film okay here here's the two sentences what happened here's the film

Here's the film. There are these Marines who... Marines like United States Marines. Like United States Marines. Devil dogs. And they basically make themselves avatar, you know, the blue people, to go in and infiltrate and try to find this tribal leader. It's basically like he's a benevolent Osama bin Laden.

You know, they're hiding this cat. They're harboring him. You know, the sea people are harboring him. So like... And they call him in a surgeon. are coming in. It was selfish as hell to put all those green people in danger. Put all the fish people in danger. So basically the guy's, he's a forest guy. He's also a halfling, which basically, I don't know how he got that way because I didn't see the first movie.

Because he's an avatar himself. He's part human. He used to be a, you know, one of the devil dogs. And then he became a blue guy. And then he fell in love with this blue woman. And you know, some of them are decent looking. Oh, I blew myself. some of them are decent looking Kyle right I was sitting there the whole movie well Kyle you're oh yeah yeah oh I'm looking at him saying explain yourself okay the blue man like for you you drafted in the 90s nostalgia thing like one chick from a sci-fi movie and a cartoon

I think and I just was thinking about you the whole movie like does Kyle have blood flow right now there's a bunch of these there was a little flow's warm my seat was warm and I was out of pop It wasn't my popcorn. So anyways, he fell for one of these blue ladies. You can't say that I fell for anybody. No, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about Sully.

He's the guy that Jake. Yeah, the target. Cowboys said a little earlier, Jake Salie. Yeah. Terrible accent. So this guy, he fell in love with one of these blue women. And he has a family, two boys and two girls. And one of the girls is like a hippie.

And the two boys, one of them has like an identity issue. so he's off always fucking shit up. He's like chasing whales when he's not supposed to chase whales. He's going beyond the reef. Well, anyways, these people, they're running away because the white people came down with formerly white people,

the blue people now came down and just torched the forest when they landed their giant spaceship. So the forest is under siege. They got a scram. They go to the coast and they meet these other avatar people who are lighter blue and they have thicker tails

that are better for swimming. And they have weird arms and shit. And so they're like, we'll take you in, but you've got to learn to swim and you've got to learn to ride these fucking dinosaurs because they ride dinosaurs that fly up in the air and then they go underwater. And that's really hard to master because you've got to hang on tight. Are you with it so far? And also you have to learn to hold your breath underwater, which is a common theme in the movie. Constantly, you're having to fight for more breath, right, and breathing and, you know, all this shit, all this bullshit. I don't know what that yoga bullshit was.

but anyways eventually the white guys find them right and they're like they're rolling up on all these beach communities and they're not killing anybody

they're just torching their houses you know they're like these awful people but they weren't they weren't willing to bust the cap and one of these blue people on the beach to send a fucking message so no one's saying they busted the dinosaur huh they shot the dinosaur they shot a fucking dinosaur

so essentially nobody's snitching on the main guy Chris has done a masterful job by the way oh thank you Nobody snitches on the main guy, but when they find out that they're completely surrounded and they need to launch a counterattack, the kid with the identity crisis gets him and his siblings stolen by the bad guy. Well, you're skipping a few of the details. One of the main things is that...

One of the main things is that the kid with the identity crisis has befriended this rogue whale. This whale is... He's the only violent will. He's persona non-grata because... Outcast. But identity crisis, this boy connects with this whale and the whale lets him

because you can plug your hair into like other shit and if you plug your your hair into stuff it like speaks to you and gives you like a vision the whale didn't do anything fucking wrong the whale was like I only got this tattoo to try to signal that you should stay away from me not being scary

but really at heart yeah he was a good he was a good whale but anyways the leader he's pissed he's like you can't be hanging out with that fucking whale this kid's into a bunch of mischief the whole thing. So tensions are kind of mounting as the white people come in and the white people are, they're evil and

they're co-opting with these fucking whalers and whaling's a problem in Asia. It's also a problem in Pandora. You know, these whales, they harness this serum that stops human aging. It goes for $8 million of, 80 million

drop to zero. 80 million dollars of vial. So that's what motivates them to hunt these whales. There's American currency in this film back on Earth because they ship on on spaceships the sky people so then the whale the whales are like special people to these coastal feralita is what it's called

and and they know that if they whack the right whale these avatar are going to come out and fight them and they'll find sully so they whack this one whale and the whale and the baby the calf floating up there was really sad most of the saddest parts of the movie they're just floating there and the chief's wife is like like that's my spirit whale. She was a, she was a composer of song.

They're gonna go John Wick on these fucking, these other, these white guys. You'd like it making the chief's wife is Kate Winslet. Oh, she was. I do love Kate Winslet. Who also can hold her breath underwater

for seven minutes. And thought she died in the making of the movie. So essentially this big battle happens. I forgot to tell you, there's this white kid that looks like Justin Bieber. He's got dreads and shit. An actual white kid. In fact,

I thought it was Justin Bieber for like three quarters of the movie. And anyways, this kid's a total fucking pushover. He couldn't leave Pandora because he was too young during the first movie. So they had to just raise him. He's basically raised by Avatar people and scientists. So he's this hybrid. And anyways, his dad's one of the jarheads. And he fucking kidnaps him.

And this guy's the worst character in the fucking movie. Because at the end, his dad's drowned. Sully kills the dad. Because the dad's a terrible person, even though Kyle says he likes the dad. That's not. Let me speak on it. I said that the fact that he's not the guy that he's avatared as. They just loaded his consciousness in there.

If you separate the consciousness from the actual like G.I. Joe that they created, they created a super soldier. You just like strong men, Kyle. He literally jumped on the back of a flying fucking, what are those things called? Rasseled it, fell down a floating island into space. And they were like, oh, I guess our colonel died. Let's be Oscar Mike. We're on the move.

and all of a sudden he comes fucking bear back up top and he's like who's next pretty badass bottom line is Justin Bieber let him live he went down and saved him He's got some daddy issues Yeah so like there was a And then you know One of the main blue guys dies

And you're like who the fuck is it which one You're like which brother is this Because there's multiple brothers And you know like they You know one of the kids dies And they only had three hours for character development So They did

And that's the, if I'm being serious, the problem is, if you want me to lock in for three hours on something, I have to be invested in the characters. Yeah. That's the problem. There's no investment in the characters. You think every, every movie should have a mini-series before it or what? You can get to know the characters?

I don't know. Well, it was ridiculous because the main jarhead bad guy, Mama Soprano was torturing Spider-Monkey. Oh my God, that was the funniest part. of the movie. And Spider Monkey was like, I'm not, I don't know anything. And then the jarhead dad was like, let me talk to him.

The human element. And then he was like, Dad, let me, I live with these avatar people. It was super cool. Let me tell you everything. That guy sucks so much. He fucking, the mind control thing, which like, they basically look at your thoughts. He could, they couldn't break him. And then they go good cop

with the big blue guy and it's easy. And he's like, oh, yeah, let me tell you everything. The movie sucks. I will say, When the blue Marines first got on the mothership and Mrs. Soprano was showing them around wearing her mech suit, she was drinking coffee with her. And was holding the coffee with her mecksuit.

These suits that make, you know, these robots, you climb in them and they have longer arms and shit, and you basically control this big robot. Tony Soprano's wife was in there just fucking shaking people's hands with the fucking robot hand. Edie Falco. E. Falco. She was the perfect character for it,

but I just kept thinking that she had enough of Tony shit, and she moved to space, and she could afford some of that, umarita, the 80 million of vile, and she took her young ass to space for some space D and some... Space D?

Some killing. And some torture. No, she was just an irredeemably terrible woman. I had enough of it, Tony. Yeah, that's what it was. Yeah, it was a reaction to that marriage. Yes. you know

of course she went to colonize blue people after that okay uh brandon staley grievance can you do cat and camel in the fucking locker room do you think that's the first time he's he's done that I don't know out in the open

I don't know first time a cameraman but you know if you're doing cat and camel they might find you he needs more upper back and neck in his cat and less hump. It was a lot of hump. Yeah, but I saw some musculature underneath the shirt.

Oh, he's a beast. He's a tennis player. He's a stud. Brandon Sto. Yeah, he's a stud. Yeah, you know him. I know Coach David, but he's also a goofball.

He's so easy to make fun of him. He's a thinking man. He's like a chess player. And it makes sense that he's doing like a legitimate core exercise. And on the other side of that there's like Jeff Saturday, who his first game, he was out there doing the Mike Rable routine before the game. It's like, I'm a thinking man. I'm taking care of my core.

Yeah. You're going to pull a muscle doing that. Your back's going to be out week 20. Honestly, that happens to me all the time. I'm there right now. A couple push-ups. Back locks up. Doesn't even make sense.

I have grievances. Go ahead. Let's do it. All right. Kyle. I gave you my Fortnite name and you haven't friended me yet. I need to friend you on there. I'm so terrible about that.

I'm sorry, Kingston. And I'll fix that. That sucks. Yeah. That's a real grievance. Relationship is just. Kyle and Chris. Yeah.

By the way, I set my line up the last game just so I could. finish ahead of you as a joke because you know obviously not paying much attention this year

but you lost nine straight somebody pointed out and you said uh everybody in the group chat that hasn't won a championship can get in a single file line and eat my ass so there's a lot of good stuff about you man hey and i agree with him here matt you know just guys you know fucking typos and shit yeah right after this podcast i'm gonna add copy and pace Mostly fucking around.

He did. He had the fucking flu. You can get a single final line. So, you know, this week he's tripling up. Yeah, thanks. I love you. Thanks, man. Love you too.

Grievance for Ralph. I have a grievance for Ralph. Oh, Ralph? Hollow man has an O in it. Oh, he had a typo? Hallow man. Sounds like a new Miller light mention. Hallowed man.

I tried to do it for Franco Harris this last week, but I didn't think it was going to work. Oh, that's touching. Yeah. like a smooth transition into halo. I got a grievance. And it would be an easy explanation for what hallowed. Marie Bet, we get it all the time. It's great.

I love Marie Bet. Get some breakfast potatoes on the menu down there. Yeah. Right? I would love some. Some breakfast potatoes. Yeah. And I love Marie Bet.

There's a guy that works there that has, is it Kevin that has two Eagles flags. He's the man. Oh, no. That's Alex. Alex. He's the one that cooks the food. And every time we exchange,

like he cans me the food. Yeah. We say go birds. Man, fucking awesome, but some stolen dollar by you, you don't like the birds? It's like one of those things

you get into it. Does he think you like the birds? I think he probably does, yeah. Okay. I also said go Phillies. Have a nice flight. You too. Yeah.

Same energy. Go birds. It's good to get into it. So what's nice about you is that you can eat a breakfast potato because you work out. you work it off. I hear breakfast potato and I think you're thinking just steer away from that

I have one for read every time I leave the office I'll say like bye read and he says enjoy yourself do you say that? Which like in my mind is him telling me to like fuck myself like I'm still here

working go enjoy yourself yeah you know what because we do carry a lot of guilt as we look at you No, that's just like later. And I've had to talk. That's not the standard way to say it. Have a good day.

Why don't you go it later? I feel like sometimes I feel like it's not every time. But I feel like I throw it later in there every once in a while. But I do say enjoy yourself. Like, yeah, enjoy yourself. Yeah. I don't really have any grievances against you guys. I mean, I have one against you.

Okay, sure. Earlier today, you called Reed both player and hoss in the same sentence. I love those words. Yo, but they're two of my, they're my two favorite greetings. The hoss is a good thing to be called. Not enough people.

When I call you hoss, don't you feel good? Yeah. When Kyle gets called hoss, he's like, I am. Because he is a hoss. You know,

there's a lot of people that I ironically call hoss that they don't even know I'm ironically calling the loss. I call a big guy a lot of people. Well, big guy there's a tinge of condescension but i want to talk condescension i got a grievance for you okay all right i don't want to turn this around this car around that's that's going to our intended destination but when when you text bud i'm sorry that's not received very well now you're right um yeah bud is not good no i do a lot of bud i do like tell me no i do a lot of i do a lot of button

i do a lot of button i'm going to type in i do a lot of buddy to this search feature. I love that feature. Little, little function. You can find everything. I type in the weirdest words there sometimes. Except for what you're looking to find. Yeah, right.

When your wife needs information on something or... I said... One of the 17 group texts I'm in. I said I might... Oh, grievance, group text. I said I might be able to do the pod in the morning when I was sick. You said, okay, bud.

Well, that was like a... I feel sorry that you're sick, bud. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. That was more intentional. tended to be, but usually if I buddy somebody, it's just like, you know, out and out and about

it's like, you know, maybe I don't know your name. That's another thing. You're not. I have a grievance. I don't know everybody's fucking name. Yeah, there's only a certain limit. There's like scientific, there's a scientific limit. So I don't know everybody's name. I'm bad with names. I have forgotten

people, dude. You don't know who I am. Give me five minutes. I'll remember everything about our relationship. That is the worst. You don't remember me. Do you know who I am? Oh, yeah, you're somebody that I no longer want to talk to. You're going to make me fight or flight. Just miss off anxiety. Yeah, I'm feeling a little bit.

Tell me your name. Twitchy here. I think I figured out my problem is that I don't, I lose focus when you say your name. Because I'm so constantly. Yes. I'm concentrating on making my good first impression. Yes. That when you say your.

Yes. We need name tags. Yes. That's where I'm not focused. I'm concentrating on that and I'm also. just thinking like all the thoughts that social anxiety puts into your head. How about clothes with name tags, a brand that has like a... Ooh, that's not bad.

You know how like you can get the little license plates at the Hudson News with the names? Yeah. New York State. Making that must have frustrated you, though. Your name was never in those gift shops, right? That's true. Thank you for saying that. Prevence.

Never was. Say my name. You ever have to spell your name your entire life? No, I have. You deal with dumb people then because yours is a pretty simple one. Well, I say Macon, they say, hi, Nathan, and then it's no Macon. And then a lot of Megan. Kyle's tough.

Mason. Kyle's not tough. Macon. Macon. Carl. Carl. Chris is called me Carl or Carl. Cal.

I like Cal. Cal. I wish you were Carl. Come on, guys. Come on, shit on us. We went to a baseball game. You hate us. I have a grievance against Gary Schaeff.

Sheffield. That's like, oh, let me go to the second document I have. When I was eight years old, we went to a baseball game to watch Gary Sheffield play, and I got a bat signed by Gary Sheffield. He said, Two Cow.

Man, Gary Sheffield got my name right. Marcellus Wiley fucked my name up. He was calling me Kyle at the Super Bowl. We were loaded by the bar. And Gary Sheffield was like, he's Chris. That's Chris Long. And that was one of the coolest moments

of my athletic career. Gary Sheffield saved. Yeah. Gary Sheffield saved. Marcella's Wiley. Yeah. Matt and I stole a road sign that said Shuffield Road in the neighborhood called West Lee back in about 2003 or four.

I think it was mostly Matt. Oh. You drove? Nah, I don't think of it. If you got any other grievances, you just bring them up throughout the rest of the pod. Put it under your Twitter thing. Ask everybody what they hate most about this show.

Conducted business with Nazi Germany even after the start of World War II. God, what does that say on your keys there?

all the guys in the picture with Jerry Jones, their dads were against the Nazis. Everybody, even the lowest of the low lives, were against the Nazis, man. It was the one thing we all fucking agreed on. He had a newspaper business

that would spread anti-Jewish conspiracies. Okay, this guy, yeah, get the Ford's out of here. Get the fucking... I can't speak for all the forts, but this one in particular, I was just saying, you know, put him in the closet.

I might fucking run you off the road on the way home. God damn, Illinois, Nazis. Mm, geez. It's a Blues Brothers, right? That's brilliant. Brilliant. Thank you.

Absentee father during early job. It's a hatchet job. I say we keep him. Not canceled. Not canceled. Listen, Sunshine played on the fucking, everybody loves sunshine. He was right there on that.

Right. And then they were desegregated. So were we going to cancel sunshine? Listen, melanoma. Hmm? Sunshine. You got it. Very dangerous.

What was the football coach from Alabama, the desegregated? The Crimson Tide. Forrest Gump would have, oh, Gene Stallings. Bear Bryant. No, Bear Bryant.

Paul Bryant. But he was, there was something with him. Bear Bryant. Did you hear the Shangilla story about how they started having black guys play for Alabama? So Alabama was notoriously like an all white football team forever.

Hortiously white. Like, you know, the whitest team. But they were good. They were kicking everybody's ass because they were playing other honkies. Then they went, they had USC, Southern Cal, come out to Tuscaloosa to play

and USC had black players and they beat the fuck out of Alabama and he was like y'all boys play the hell of a game and after the game he was like we now have black players on our team we're now allowed to have black players he was like uh just changed my entire yes yeah bear bryor bear bryant also like plaid

Dorothy DeFrasso. He was a bootlegged. He bagged the countess. Cancel you. Was a bootleger during Prohibition and he was a bookmaking pioneer. So is that gambling, sports gambling, bookmaking? Yeah, it is. The bad, he took over labor unions

to extort movie studios. He worked as a hitman for a number of years. He sold atomite to Mussolini. What does atomite do? It's from whale. It's from whale. blubber. Although the sale never actually went through, but he tried to. He was acquitted on a murder charge in Greenberg trial despite circumstantial evidence.

Well, he was acquitted, Matt. Flamingo's finances all messed up because of skimming. Okay. I say we keep him. No, so here's the deal. You want to kill Nazi leaders. This is the guy that falls squarely in the middle. He's a historical figure that's celebrated in maybe some films that are about bad people.

You know they're bad. no one's making a statue of Bugsy Siegel. There's no Bugsy Segal wing at Harvard. The Siegel Center at VCU. Is that Bugsy Segal? It's Bugsy Segal. No. No.

It's really funny you say that there isn't even something to remember him by because in Godfather 2, Hyman Roth is talking about his friend that got killed. And there isn't even something to remember him by. They have mafia night where all the VCU fans dress up in Binskine. bring tommy guns Tommy guns When the metal detector goes off you're like what's that It's just a Tommy gun

All right last one Well, keep it, keep it going there. Okay. All right. I'm crying. Uh, oh, cancel. No, no, no, no. Kyle gets the good.

We're going to read up on him first, Chris. Thomas Jefferson. He heard of this guy? Yeah. Way too much. He advocated for religious freedom. Oh. Make it clap.

He authored the Declaration of Independence. Ever heard of it? Yeah, a lot lately. I'm not hearing about it from people. He founded the University of Virginia. Great school. The successful purchase of the Louisiana Territory, which I think is understated.

Yes, you're right about that. I think it's pretty low. It's pretty low on that list. Successful Lewis and Clark Expedition, he didn't go on the expedition, but he contracted it out. He was a coach. Noted architect and enlightened.

He's real good at telling people to do something and then having them do it. Consistently ranked among the greatest presidents. Better than Lincoln, better than Washington. It was easy to be the fucking president back then. Can I just tell you it was easy? Have you heard it? Have you heard better than Lincoln, better than Washington?

It was easy. Trump's NFTs. Got worry about cryptocurrency and inflation and fucking cyberterrorism now. They were worrying about what's going on with smallpox and, you know, let's do a civil war. Pretty simple. They got ice out of the river there at the bottom of the hill.

Anyways. Yeah, guy, read the, first one. In total, Jefferson owned over 600 books. Slaves. It's slaves. Hooked. Started a sexual relationship with a woman.

Failed to annex Florida. Donated money. Oh, these are rough. Started a sexual relationship with a slave name, Sally Hemming, is when she was 15, and Jefferson was in his 40s. Failed to annex Florida, as he promised. You really want Florida? What?

You all want Florida. Florida's a plus? Yeah, man. He looks real scary in that picture in the top right. I've never seen that picture. Donated money to French slaveholders fighting against whoever the future.

Rebellion in Haiti. Apocracy said slavery was the great political and moral evil. He advocated for limited federal government powers but expanded them during his administration. His last words, were spoken to slave. Oh yeah?

Yeah. Created the Library of Congress. Bitch, I mean, player. I just think there's... I'm not saying you got to wipe him off the face of the earth, but, you know, it's a little much around here. People have a fetish. They do have like a Jefferson fetish around here.

Mr. Jefferson. There are people that get off on the guy. Born on April the 13th. You know, his birthday is actually tricky. He's got two birthdays. One that folks recognize, and then there's another one that they say is his actual birthday.

Which one do you celebrate? I recognize April the 13th. You know, he died on July the 4th. On the same day as John Adams. On the same day as John Adams. That's wild. Yeah, they were buddies. Cancel.

Cancel. Nah. What's the opposite of canceled? Celebrate. Celebrate. Yeah. Celebrate. Thomas Jefferson.

T.J. Allo man? Hallowed man.
