Last Podcast On The Left - Side Stories: RIP Bush's Baked Beans Dog

Episode Date: July 5, 2018

Ben 'n' Hen are back for some EXTREME TALKING. Topics include: Time warps, Garfield, Casey Anthony's dad, and MORE SO MUCH MORE. Triple L.

There's no place to escape to. This is the last time. On the left. Why? Love your gliss. That's when the cannibalism started. What was that? All right.

Hey, what's up, everyone? How are you? Welcome to Side Story as I'm Ben Kissel and Henry Zabrowski. Yeah. And you're Henry Zabrowski. Yeah. You got to do the heavy lifting, man. You got to throw me to the audience, man.

Oh, God. And Henry Zabrowski is here as well. Is this a weight joke? What's that? No, it's not a weight joke. It's a matter of fact. Well, I guess it could be. Although, honestly, you don't weigh that much.

So for me, that would actually be an indictment of my weakness if I even pretended like it would be difficult to pick you up because I can pick you up anytime I want. During the last VIP meet and greet, Philly, a woman made you lift her, right? You had a sheet. It made you lift her. It was a request. Which is fine. But then I asked you to lift me and you went, no.

It was the way you said it. It was the weariness inside your voice. I think mostly just because you had been sort of like really exerting yourself and smiling. No. It was pretty easy to lift her up. I'm actually a pretty strong guy, but I am in my like third undertaker phase. I'm like Mark Calloway, dead man phase, like coming in on the motorcycle, half exhausted at all times.

So I can lift it, but when people request me to pick them up, it's not exactly thrilling because then if I drop them, it's a lawsuit and everything falls apart. You also got quite a bit, again, it reminds me of when we were traveling together, it's just, you know, everybody's got something to say about how big you are. They do, man. Every single person. It's important. Literally just, they point at you and they say, wow, you're a monster.

Yeah. And I have to sit and watch you register each one and you go, yep, suckin' down one more sip of the beer. Like, yep. And it's just like, I know, I know you're big, but I guess I've just lost all concept of it. Yeah. You are a true beast of the blood.

Can I say that to you? I guess so. It doesn't really matter. I am a little bit taller than most, but I want to say thank you to everyone. Sorry, number one, Phoenix. We're going to be there again August 17th. Can't wait to see you that. But thank you so much in Boston and Philadelphia.

Dude, that Wilbur Theater was unbelievably beautiful. It was absolutely wonderful. That was crazy. I love both of those cities. And you know, it was nice about Boston is I didn't get a single beer bottle thrown at me once, which is a nice change. Because it's an aggressive city. And then Phoenix, we get to go when the planet's even closer to the sun.

Oh, great. I can't wait. And we're going to sizzle, sizzle. We're actually going to probably make into a little bit of a, I think that Dogmeat and I were talking about it with our ladies going to do a bit of alien tourism around. Because I mean, Phoenix, I don't know. I don't know much about Phoenix, but I do know that Tempe, I got to get me some of the, like what Steven Greer has.

They're kind of like a bell, but it's a big circle and you know, like a soccer fan. Like one of those. What were those? Yeah. It's like that. Okay. But it's not just to call the Italians gay. Oh, right.

It's good. You do the circle bell to make the Italian make the Italians do the circle bell to make the aliens show up. Oh, well, don't be surprised if a couple of Italian show up as well. I watched that Croatia, Denmark game and I didn't know how many people were into soccer in America until it was a close match and everyone was really going nuts. They're lying. Yeah.

I think so. All right. We got a bunch of fun little stories to get to today. A little follow up. Casey Anthony. She's back. She's back in the news or at the very least people magazine, which is like the worst thing that's ever happened.

But evidently, 10 years later, this case still affects everyone involved in the family. George, her father is still not speaking to Casey. He said that. What? Yeah. Can you believe it? He said, he said, quote, she's a bad seed. And when asked if he was speaking to her, he flatly said no.

And Casey Anthony has also moved on from her father. Casey Anthony said she just does or this is according to a source close to her says she just doesn't need to have him in her life. Isn't that exciting? You you went all the way to lie about accusing him of molesting you and you think you'd think it wouldn't have the fallout that it would. But it does. I think so.

I mean with the brother. So they try to keep. She tried to get back in touch. Well, the brother tried to get back in touch with her a little bit, especially after the trial. Right. And then she cut him off because she also accused him of molesting her. Yeah.

Believe it or not. Which I think is I like to believe the victim. I believe the victim. I believe. Well, this is a murder of this is the murderer of a small child. And I think that's the real victim here. And it's got to be like according to sources, Lee, her brother has frozen her out. So they are not speaking to each other.

Even after all this time, turns out if you could accuse your family of molesting you to try to cover up the fact that you murdered your daughter, it does have long consequences when it comes to family relationship. I was trying to find here trying to find who her PR company is because I want to know how does she get in people magazine and we don't. Well, I think that we don't quite have the Casey Anthony fame. I mean, honestly, Casey Anthony is she's top tier a celebrity when it comes to killers. Really?

You think that she I guess she does. I guess in terms of like face and name recognition, like she'd get a better she'd go farther along at a pitch at HBO than we would. Yes. Yeah. Absolutely. We actually referenced this in the live show coming up here in Portland. I'm not going to spoil it, but it's a very, very fun idea.

It is a fun idea, but it's all but I wonder she's got to have a team. She does. People organizing the shit. I mean, but no one will. No, I'm looking it up. And the first thing it says those because I want to say Kansas, Casey Anthony, pure team representation. Right.

And as you go through, they say the first one is business insider magazine saying Casey Anthony doesn't deserve a PR agency. It's like, yeah, she has one, your PR agency. She means they don't care who it is. Yeah. And do you think she has like a working manager who was constantly stressed out trying to get her more interviews, trying to get her TV hits? Well, she's got a new T job going on too.

She's pumped them up. And so to be honest, to be honest, she's kind of like ready to go for television. She's ready for a show. And I would, I'm not saying like I should be watching it or anyone should, but I would. I mean, hey, man, people have killed people and had television shows before I suppose. So Matthew Broderick, what happened with Matthew Broderick? You guys mentioned this in the live show in Boston, 96, he killed someone in a car accident. He did.

It was a vehicular manslaughter case, which is one of those things where it's got a really cool name, but it's kind of like not the most fun crime. No vehicular manslaughter, Matthew Broderick. Okay. So here this is from 87 19 in people's magazine. Matthew Broderick had just finished filming Biloxi Blues, Jennifer Gray had a few free weeks before starting the publicity rounds for her new movie, Dirty Dancing. So the busy couple whose antagonistic brother sister act and last year's Ferris Bueller's

day off was the start of a more harmonious offscreen liaison. Did not know that. I did not know that either. Wow. Decided to take a vacation. They flew to Ireland and rented a BMW 316 planning to drive around Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland. On August 5th, they set off from Irvingston to McGuire's Beach, but the jaunt ended tragically

80 miles west of Belfast in a car accident that left two dead. Broderick 25 was driving when it up three o'clock in the afternoon. He and Gray, 27, pulled into a gas station just outside Aniskelin to ask directions. An off-duty policeman told Broderick his route was just stupid and offered to lead them to the right road. But the actor on vacation from sage directions declined and went his own way. He wasn't going fast, says the policeman. Just some 40 miles per hour.

And yeah, and then he killed a bunch of people and a head on collision. Oh man. But I feel like a lot of people were trying to cover up the fact that they think that they were a little bit Irish afternoon. Oh, maybe. Well, we can't malign. Many, many years ago, hopefully after all the families are okay. Always malign.

Never de-align. My gosh, that's absolutely crazy. I did not, did not realize that. I also didn't realize he was dating Jennifer Gray. That's madness. Hot to trot, man. I will say, I like her less after the nose job. Well, I don't know.

You don't got to change yourself. Look no further than the teeth of Buscemi. He is- You don't got to touch your face. You don't have to. But at the same time, I like a woman with strong facial features anyway. I like that. I like that look. It's like a Roman nose.

Well then you have got to become a producer, Henry, and start casting your own work. I would. I know it. All right. I also have a little follow-up on Keefy D, right? We do that absolutely where apparently he is currently on his deathbed and he came out and spoke with the son in the UK, which kind of takes a bunch of credibility away from it.

But he said again, I know who shot Tupac. I was in the car when it happened and he essentially passes the buck to his nephew Orlando. So it's kind of, it's like a game of hot potato, but the potato was who killed Tupac? Well apparently that's what we talked about a little bit, which the documentary murder app and the book murder app covers pretty well and also the biggie and Tupac, not the Nick Broomefield one. It was another one that basically says that they're in the car, they're riding up against Tupac, they got the one piece of artillery the other dude brought because they always

kind of have to have one secret gun and Orlando was on the left side of the car as they put it, pulled up to the left part where Tupac was like in the driver's side, not the, in the, what's it, the guy, what's it, the passenger seat, right next to the driver and they handed the gun back to Orlando when he said, I'll do it and then he popped them. Well evidently, yeah, this was under a, it was a taped confession. I guess he had immunity because he was already in prison. Is that right? He was, I don't know.

I'm not a lawyer. You're not a lawyer. So he had immunity, this is a tape confession. This is what Keith E.D. claimed. He said, I gave it to Tupac, I gave it to Dre and Dre was like, no, no, no. And Lane was like, hey, now, hey, now, no, no, no, no, no, Frankenstein and, and Dracula and he started singing that song and he said, pop the dudes, that's claimed Keith E.D. and then he just said he leaned over and rolled down the window and popped them.

Anderson who denied murdering the rapper was killed himself as we talked about in a shootout at a garage in LA. So I guess we found out who, I mean, what is it done? Is it actually solved now? I guess so. I don't know. I don't think so because they would really have to take all, put all the, the fucking dots together and cross the T's and dot the I's.

Right. The problem is, is that the, everybody that's involved around the case is dead. Right. Or about to be dead. Keith E.D., the last one standing other than I guess Shug Knight, who probably has some answers, but he ain't got to talk. He's the Bush Bean's dog of rappers. That is a very appropriate way, but I would say the Bush Bean's dog of rappers.

Producers. Yes, that's correct. In terms of rappers, he was in completely silent, because technically the Bush Bean's dog did speak, right? Well, yes, he was sort of, he was joking. Oh, he'll never talk, but then he was like, I'll fucking talk, you, I talk all the fucking time. Jews did 9-11.

Whoa, what's, what was that Bush Bean's dog? Um, I, I have a question. Okay. Okay. It's a philosophical question before we get into another story. When Garfield is talking, can John see it? I think it's telepathy. It's telepathic.

Telepathy. Telepathy. Telepathy. Telepathy. Telepathy. Between Garfield and children. I don't even think we're allowed to hear Garfield. Nobody.

So in the, in the world of Garfield. Yeah. In the world of comic strips, when they're not talking to each other, when it's just Garfield talking to an imagined through the fourth wall, does that not technically make like Garfield schizophrenic? Yeah. Like in a way where like you're sitting there and Garfield's performing for a character and if you step into the world of Garfield and John, it's just them in an apartment.

Yes. But then every once in a while, I guess they're supposed to be illustrating how a dog or a cat will like stare in a space. Right. So then we're supposed to assume that from now on when our pets, they do that. They're communicating something funny or bemusing. I'd use the term bemusing. Sure.

Or about our personal situation. Or completely threatening to other animals, such as what happened with normal. Did you ever see Garfield minus Garfield? John is the most depressed comic book strip character in the history of comic book strips. And Garfield makes him that way. I think that there's a pretty, I imagine that this is a hack at this point, but my point of view is that John's a very dangerous person. Could be.

And I'll tell you, especially in the Garfield minus Garfield comic strips, if you look at John, he's a man about to pop. He's about to light up the office, especially his fascination with the veterinarian. That's got to be very scary. Right. You know, we were talking about this at the bar in Boston. I think it was in Boston, but how crazy it would be if we had this technology that we have now and we got to go back to like 1985, we would literally be Professor X.

We would have the exact same ability to be like, I know where all of you live. I know where all of you, I know what all of your faces look like. And we would just be seen as X men if we just could bring Twitter to 85, if we could just find out how they have a time machine. That's the problem. I'd be, that's the problem. That's the big leap here. But I'll tell you what, that's actually a very good segue to a story I want to talk

about. All right. But I think a part of also is saying, I think that we should wait a couple of years and put a couple of money into mech warrior uniforms and then go back in the past and really scared the fuck out of Benjamin Franklin. And so, and then we light him up with a flamethrower. Bunch of turkeys all around. Benjamin Franklin, Philadelphia's king.

Okay. So this paranormal researcher claims he discovered a time warp outside Las Vegas. Now this is one of the, one of my favorite type of high strangeness stories that I think is it's fun and it is just, just distracting enough from reality that it allows me to stop screaming interiorly. Well you definitely are screaming exteriorly. I'm very sorry. Yeah.

I don't mean to yell at the listener. That's, no, technically that's what we have to do. We're speaking with them. Not yelling. A paranormal investigator claims he found the first time warp right outside Las Vegas. This is from Newsweek. Incredible. All right.

Joshua Warren, a paranormal researcher who appeared on travel channels, paranormal paparazzi, said he watched time slow down 20 microseconds near the interstate outside the city. He's measured how time moves across Nevada, including area 51, but he hadn't found any evidence until now. I think there may be a space time warp on the edges of the city, but there has just been so many mad man tech nearby that it's taken a while to realize what's naturally happening in the surrounding hills and mountains. He said in a statement.

Oh wow. Warren told Fox 5 in Las Vegas that it's impossible for time to slow unless a black hole approached Earth or unknown technology, quote unquote, nearly nearby disrupted the laws of physics, which I think it's very interesting. Is this something natural that gives us a window, a gateway into another world, or another level of reality? Or is this the byproduct of some kind of weird technology, be it something secret and man-made or something that's extraterrestrial?

So basically what he said is, he took a machine called a DT meter, which is also referred to as a differential time rate meter, which I'm not sure what that means. Can you order one online? You're going to have to get one. You got to start ordering all this stuff online, Henry. I already bought $300 for the ghost hunting equipment, and Natalie won't let me use it in the house until I have to seal the house spiritually, and it takes a month. I have to follow a lunar cycle and do all this shit because we've been traveling.

But she won't let me use it until we make sure that there's no ghost that can jump through any sort of holes I create. Well, use it in the studio, and then maybe we can pick one up for a podcast special, and have him as a guest. $200 on eBay. $200? Not bad. That's really not bad.

But basically what he did was that he took this machine, and then he just went around with it all across Nevada, looking to see if there was difference, like basically showing that time, time's supposed to happen at a certain rate, but it looked like when he went to this one area right outside of Las Vegas, it had slowed down for 20 microseconds. And I don't even know what that means. It's like 20 microseconds behind the official atomic time. And I don't know if it's good or bad, but it's something. He wasn't like visiting a brothel and in a moment of ecstasy or something like that,

where time might... It seems like it was slower or something. He was just totally sober doing all this? I think so. Yeah, he's a paranormal researcher, kissle. Is that conducive with sobriety? No. What you do is...

No. Paranormal researchers, you have to be sober during the day, but then you must drink to go to sleep. Oh, I see what the rules are. That's where I'm at. That's how I live. Like a senator. Yeah, like a senator.

I'm pretty sober during the day, for the most part, and then I have to do stuff at night just to make sure that something can happen in my sleep. Yeah, no, absolutely. That's why we did not get a wink of sleep in Boston because the drunk levels just weren't quite there and we had to be up at 7 o'clock in the morning and it just didn't happen. It's very sad when you've realized that about yourself, when you're sitting in the hotel because it's both like, I have to get up tomorrow to do another show. I can't be as hungover as I was for the Boston show, for the Philly show, because it took

all day to recoup from the Boston show because what happens is we came into town the night before in Boston and there's kind of a freedom where you're like, oh, we're in Newtown, we could do whatever we want, yada, yada, yada, it's nine beers later and we're yelling about how things are unfair. Oh my God. And then the next day we wake up. I will say that bartender, he looked at us like we were regulars. He did look at us like those guys, those are Celtics fans right there, they proclaim Larry

Bird as the best basketball player of all time. That's how drunk we got. We did get to Larry Bird for referencing him for some reason. Well, if you think about people who know you know how to like not be able to jump but also play basketball, Larry Bird's number one. I'll tell you that. What I like about him is that he can touch the hoop standing up and he's got ginger butt hair.

That's what I love about him. Anybody with red butt hair is a good basketball player to me. But no, we went and then so yeah, then you can't drink quite, you know, you just can't drink. No, you can't. So when we go to Las Vegas, which inevitably we will have to do, we're not going there for your bachelor party. We're going to go to a much, well, I don't know much more fun, but a much more haunted

place. As a matter of fact, we're going to be in New Orleans, but don't haunt us down. I'm not going to tell you the dates, but we should get this device before we go to New Orleans. So when we go on our little expeditions, which I'll make sure I have it. Okay, great. I'll pick one up for you as well as a gift because sobriety will not be in the picture, but we could find a bunch of ghosts.

I mean, I, that's what I want to be awesome. That's obviously what I want. That's what I've always wanted. All right. Well, okay. A potential time warp portal right there outside of Las Vegas, I guess if you want to, if you got one of those machines, go check it out, confirm with us that the time is indeed slowing. I would like to see, but I'll stick with the repercussions of that and it's mostly just

high strangeness. It's mostly just the idea of any rules can be broken, which I think is really, uh, important. I think it's when we set, when like now we're in the middle of men and black, right? Which is incredibly strange. All of the material in it is, is very like, it's, it's hard to put your finger on about whether or not it's ghosts or it's aliens and it's stuff like that. If that chicken happened with just a guy reading a meter and he's saying like, well, everyone says time's supposed to be constant all the time except for this one spot where it's twenty

microseconds behind, then you're just like, well, I guess that a lot of shit can be wiggity. A lot of things can indeed. Well speaking of, uh, strange things, not strange, uh, high strangeness, but this is kind of a fun story. Last week's episode, we had a lot of food talk as well. I think that was the episode where we spoke about the fella who, uh, had his friends eat his own foot, which was kind of a strange, uh, uh, dalliance with, uh, with cannibalism. This story comes out of, I believe Germany, a worker is, uh, he was probed, but not in

an alien sense in 21 deaths after he, after he's caught poisoning colleagues lunches. A German man was caught on camera poisoning his coworkers lunches and police are investigating whether he's responsible for 21 deaths over the past 18 years at this metal fittings company. The 56 year old suspect was arrested in May after a colleague at the ARI, uh, armaturian, armat, armaturian company, armaturian company in Northwest Germany. Notice the suspicious white powder on his food. Everyone is dying in the lunch room, but this guy, how did it take so long to find him? Cause he just sit there eating lunch as a joint his life, which I think is great.

I mean, I, I feel that there is, uh, it's one of those where this is a crime that obviously is terrible. Yeah, of course. 21 people have died. You got, you don't mess with people's food, man. Come on. No, but I think also everyone can sort of understand it. Everyone, I mean, honestly, I worked in an office for one year and I get the anger and

the rage, uh, that builds up in a person cause your little manager who you know, doesn't do anything. You do all the work. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. Every day they yell at you. Every day they take advantage of you.

Every day they beat you down. And this man, I guess, had enough. So this dude, the guy who reported. How many times? Cause office culture is poisonous. It's horrible. Cause it's also the, it's all the stuff where they're like snitching on each other. And someone goes, been like, I think Henry's spending a bit too much time browsing online.

It's been like, why are you looking at me? Huh? Why are you looking at me? Look at yourself. Look at myself. Don't look in the mirror and tell them to look at the, put that right on their little cubicle wall and be like, every time you want to judge me, look at yourself. Don't even look.

I'd also want to put it down to an almost level of, this is a bit extreme, but I'm going there. Uh-oh. A domestic personal terrorism, which is the idea of the open office format. Oh, you don't like it? Like, you know that thing? Of course not. You like the cubicles.

Yeah. Really? So you have some privacy. Oh, that's- Do you have a little bit of privacy? I hate the- You could stroke it a little bit. Oh my God.

You can't stroke. It's still open. I'm not trying to. No, I don't want to. The cubicle is so sad. You're in there. You're like a little gerbil and they're just like, hit the keys, gerbil. Hit the keys faster.

No. What is worse? Have you ever worked in an open office concept? I've worked. The one that I worked in was open. It was four of us there. I mean, it wasn't, uh- I guess-

That's not even an open concept. I'm talking those places where you go and it's all 30 people sitting in one big table. I see. And they get to see what everybody's doing. Yeah. 24 fucking seven. All right. You boss coming around, looking over your shoulders, be like, oh, that's a funny meme.

You know what's a funny meme I heard about? It's called getting back to work. Well, this dude who was- who found this white powder, by the way, very obvious way to poison someone. According to this article, they said he's a quick thinking man, and he alerted this to his superiors, which I hate- I hate saying the words I have a boss or a superior. I don't know why. I've always just, like, tried to call them my friend or whatever.

Travis, when you refer to us, to other people, like, do you say the- you don't say bosses. No, of course not. No, what do you say? The guys I work for. Okay, that's good. Foreman. No, I don't- it's not a disrespect. No, no.

You should never claim to have a boss. Oh, yes. Don't give them the power. That's all they want to hear. It's the unorthodox nature of my job that is why I call you those guys that I work for. Yeah. No, it's difficult to see us as bosses when, again, we're about to do another episode of

Men in Black. I understand why the term might be difficult to conjure up, although technically we are. But that is okay, because we don't want you to say that, though, because you have your own agency. So this powder was identified as lead acetate- acetate- acetate- acetate. It's acetate. Well, whatever it is, it's killing 21 people. Now, it's a highly toxic school- toxic- We don't know yet.

What? We don't know if it's killed 21 people. We know that 21 people in the office have died of mysterious circumstances. Uh-huh. Okay, what? But they haven't yet said the full words. Well, according to company manager Teelo Blechinger, in the beginning we thought- this is a quote from Teelo Blechinger.

He said, in the beginning we thought it was a misconceived prank between coworkers and not a murder attempt. This kind of prank is like, I've been poisoning it all of my coworkers. Now that is humorous. Honestly, it's German. So I think a German prank is definitely one that brings you very, very close to death. Oh, my God. So police have now expanded their investigation to include the deaths of 21 employees who had

died since the year 2000. So this dude has been doing this for a minute, and it's probably the only thing that makes him happy or the only reason he can put on his weird German boots and go to work. Think about how much more fun work would be if every day was a new opportunity to poison them. I guess. And that's all it was. Like it wasn't like you weren't doing anything else with your job.

You literally was every day like you were pulling the lever and the only thing that kept a smile in your face whistling all that shit is because you got a new batch of poison. I guess. Like it's all ready to go for everybody and you're going to dump it on and be like, you walk up to, to big old Gwendolyn sitting there being like, love your sweater, Gwendolyn. Love how many seals you got on it. And she's just like, they attacked me, you didn't fire your aperture time. And you're like, yeah, Gwendolyn, I know.

I'll see you at lunch. Seems like you've really gone deep into the psyche of this man who murdered potentially 21 people. I just understand that office culture, office culture drove me to near insanity. No, I understand. I think it was in Boston or maybe Philly, we were talking about introverts and how horrifying they are because. I'm scared of them.

Yeah, they're not quiet. They're, they're plotting. They're always thinking much like Garfield. They are dangerous, dangerous creatures, dangerous people. This is according to Bletchinger again, this dude's manager. He said about this dude. He was conspicuously inconspicuous. What does that mean?

Conspicuously inconspicuous. I don't know. So he's like dressing like a ninja and shit like putting a potted plant on and just like trying to act like he had camouflage conspicuously because that's the only. I don't know. They didn't like this guy. I don't know. That's what this means.

Yeah. Yeah. That's true. But that's an interesting way to describe someone. It means that's like, they all didn't like him. Right. It gave him a hard time, but he did just enough of his job that they couldn't fire him. And then meanwhile, the whole time while he was flying under the radar, he was killing

them one by one each night, laughing himself to sleep. Oh my God. Well, I would like to make a movie. Make a movie out of this guy. It would sort of be like The Machinist, but if he poisoned all the co-workers. Yes. Absolutely. And then one by one and just them and you, you call the movie the man who brought powder

to lunch. Oh, and not the boy powder. No. And not the, not the drug powder, which by the way, not the drug cocaine, which is of course a powder. Be very careful with all these heroines and these cocaine's out there, ladies and gentlemen, they're cutting with fentanyl. You've got to be very, very careful.

Get one of those drug testing kits. I'm going to talk about that more on top app. LA is having a really hard time. Horrible. With fentanyl in the cocaine. Not that I would know because I don't do cocaine. All right. Well, let's see here.

Do you want to do this one just really quick story about how technology, this facial recognition technology is just being able to like have people, it's lip syncing videos. And so then the people, you see the people and it sounds like they're saying something different than they're actually saying. It's very difficult to tell the truth from fiction. What I will say is, do you remember when Pokemon Go first came out? Yes. Is that right before?

Because it was right before, I believe it was right before the election. It was the summer before the, before 2016. And so people were really paranoid about Pokemon Go being a sort of like dry run for technology for the secret government to sort of like figure out how to track us and use what would be eventually be called the ARG technology or like anything that puts it like. And I feel like there's something, we're getting close to it. I feel like there is a way for like these kind of face changing apps and all these kind of stuff to basically provide a bunch of like hard data for the government to purchase from

and then use for their own gain. Yeah, dude. It's horrifying. It's horrifying. And it's all happening now. We are in the future that basically every sci-fi director predicted in the 80s and 90s. And I'm like, they can make you say anything and it's never going to be good. The idea that Trump is a warrior for truth and that the intelligence communities are

fighting against him is the dumbest shit on the face of the planet. It goes back to, you know, Trump is such a great distraction and allows all of this shit to just go and go and go. And I would not hesitate to believe for a fucking second that like they would use Trump's incredible way of now figuring out a completely blur the lines of fact and the concept of fake news, giving it the slogan, because the one good thing that that piece of shit is good at is giving a slogan. And so he gave it a slogan that then permeated everything.

And now we're fucked because we're going to be in a whole new world of we're not going to know what's up or down. It's going to be totally confusing. I'm going to talk about this in depth more on Top Hat 2 because there's a bunch of great quotes from a bunch of senators and stuff like that about how it can be used as a weapon and all of those things. It's a scary time. Remember that with Pokemon Go, though, where they just kept on finding bodies?

Like he was just people like looking for like Gorbachev or is that a name of a Pokemon? No, it's not. It is. Whatever the burp or whatever the hell the fucking Pokemon were called, everyone kept on finding corpses. And that's really the game within the game. Well, a part of what it was supposed to be was that it's just I can't believe how much now you think about it too, but like how much shit that old thing got was like it got people

out of people's homes. Yeah. Got them out of their homes. I got them exercising. And the reason why they were finding bodies is because we've become such a listless society that bodies could be left around. I guess. And no one was walking around doing anything.

Right. So it's like just exercising. How many bodies could be found if we weren't all so obese and lazy? That's really what we found out with Pokemon Go, I guess a lot. My God. That reminds me of that Westworld show, which now I'm halfway through season one and it's pretty good so far. I know it's a bit of an older show.

I'm a bit behind, but I think it's pretty. You are. Yes. You are. What did that show come out like five years ago? It came out in 2016. Okay. Well, not that far beyond.

It's good. I really do like it quite a bit. And the season, second season is very confusing and I have to keep going back and re-watching it because we keep being out of town and I don't have time to go back and watch it again. I have to like catch back up. Is it like Twin Peaks season two confusing? No. Okay.

That is that. I understand that's the other thing too about season two, the revamp of Twin Peaks is that it's not supposed to be linear. No, I know. It's supposed to leave you mysteries that you're supposed to enjoy the gray spaces. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, it's not an excuse for open-ended writing.

No, it's not. It's not an excuse for anything lazy. It's just what art is. That's called art. You can't answer every question in the world. You are correct though. But the thing is you have to make it good. Even if it's total fucking nonsense, it has to be compelling nonsense.

And to me, that's what David Lynch does well, where it's like half the time I'm like, yes, very confusing, David. Thank you for also making it look good. One could argue that's what last podcast on the left is as well, you just make it compelling. Make it compelling. No matter what you're talking about. That's all that matters. I always got to leave them with a smile because that's what I say.

You know how I say that the beginning of each recording that we do, I say, let's leave them with a smile. Yeah. That's what you say. All right, everyone, I think that's basically the stories of this week. Email us at thelastpodcastnetwork at gmail.com, send us some stories if you'd like to. Also I'm dab, I'm dipping my toe back into Twitter so you can find me there, email me some stories.

I'm not going to do the deep dive like I was doing because I found myself thumbing through again today, just absorbing nothing. It's all nonsense. Yes. It's pure rage. Oh, my God. So just try not to get it in there. Well, you can also follow me on the Bullshit Twitter at Henry Loves You.

You can follow me on Instagram at DrFontiStick and you can follow last podcast on LP on the left and all of the fucking horseships. Thank you again for listening. Yes. Thank you so much. Instagram Ben Gissel one for me and we will be in Portland, Oregon. This weekend cannot wait to see you. We'll be there on Friday.

I think we're going to hang out on Saturday as well. I don't know if that'll be like a fan thing or what I mean. I don't know. You'll see me at a bar around 5 p.m. most likely. So I'll tweet that out if I, if I'm feeling social, but I usually am. So he's always feeling social and you like getting out there. You like mixing it up. I do.

I'm going to be looking for something for, I need meats, man. Yeah. It's such a great time with, with, with Jim, Jim and Eric watching Money in the Bank. I think I've already mentioned that. I love to meet the, love to meet the listeners and the fans. Yeah. You just wandered into a family's home on Father's Day. If they're the one taking the risk, I'm six foot seven.

I'm like, I'm, if they even tried to kill me, I think we talked about that. Now I'm the father. I'm the father of the family. All right. Hail Satan everyone. Live, laugh and learn. There it is. Hail yourselves.

Love, Lord and leave them. Wow.
