My hands are a little sweaty. I apologize for that. But we're thrilled to be joined. in our third seat for our first episode back since 2020. Yeah. March 11th, maybe 2020. I believe it was March 11th. I believe I was saying, hey, the world could use a little snow day.

Yes! Fuck you! Fuck you all! No, it's really nice to be here. Thanks so much. And this is and I just knew that... Mad with power immediately. I knew eventually I'd get here.

Yeah. And I don't know. I didn't know. I just knew. It's been the goal all along, right? I just knew that everything that I've been doing has been building to this. And hey, congratulations, man.

You've made it for the summit. And wow, this is it, huh? Yeah. Welcome to the top, brother. Jesus Christ. This is it. All we're all looking off of you. It's really...

Celsius. Kansas Celsius. Honestly, Celsius is really nice. Nice. Well, Dane Cook did say one of the worst parts

about getting the famous. He's like, getting famous is just like going into, like getting powerful, is going from a room into a smaller room with less people, to a smaller room with less people, into a smaller room with less people,

until finally you were in a room alone in a chair. And he said, that's what being on top of it is. And now... You get it. I get it. You're almost there because there's still three people. Yes,

there's quite a bit of staff. There's quite a bit of staff here. And there's a very cute dog. Yeah. Our producer, producer, Catherine is going to break out a pool cue. And we're going to have to break it in half. We're going to have to fight each other. Hide it out, boy.

See who gets on the squad. Who gets on the pod. Henry, we're thrilled to have you here. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things that we're talking about. We're going to talk about the continuing fallout from the big win, from Trump's strategic victory. How things are looking on the right, how things are looking.

in the markets. Obviously. Oh, yeah. That's what we were talking about right before this. We were just praying the markets. The markets are hanging in there. They are good.

That's what we like to see. Then we're going to check them with Doritos because they went too hard with the greedflation. Greedflation, by the way. A thing. Yeah. Like we said, yeah,

it's a thing that was acknowledged. Well, because it was for a long time, I think greedflation was just like road comic material. Right. Like the idea before. I'm like, can you believe how little chimps are anything? And you're like, for a long time, I think that like just kind of, now we've even made it real.

Yeah. Yeah, not at CNBC or like other media outlets are like, because of greedflation, like, oh, because before it's called us crazy. Yeah. For believing that greedflation was the thing. Anyways, we're going to talk about that. We might even get to Scientology runs. But before any of that Scientology runs, sounds like what I get after eating at the Scientology buffet.

God, you guys are so good. I mean, the best. You guys are so fucking good. The best in the business. He just wears all, he's just wears a Mission Impossible promotional t-shirt. I'm here for the free lunch. I'm like,

come on. Honestly, thank God you're here. Love your battlefield, or what was the show? What was the sci-fi movie? Battlefield Earth. Yeah,

love your Battlefield Earth hat. Yeah. Yeah. True heads, remember. Battlefield Earth. Oh, yes. Before we get to any of that shit, Henry,

we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Oh, buddy. We just did, we're working on Jimmy Saville right now. Oh, boy. So I don't really want to bring up that because mostly it's just like Jimmy Saville, necrophilia, Jimmy Saville, Satanist ritual. Like that's like, but the main thing is, is that I've been rewatching Neon Genesis Evangelion

with my wife who's just been sort of leaving. But she comes back and forth and I explain kind of what's going on here. But I looked up the Japanese lyrics to the theme song so I could learn the Japanese lyrics to the opening song. the angel's cruel thesis. Wow. And can you see, can you give us a little bit? I just have to, honestly, because I have not, unfortunately, I've not fully memorized it yet.

It's okay. You can be a carry-up. It's a lot of it. Showing no shennyiwani-nare. Wow, that's pretty good. Yeah, thank you. It sounds good to me. But Miles is actually.

This is bad. Yeah. Is this upset? This is upsetting you? No, no, no. Zon koku Natshi no tez Madobe

Gara ya yeah yeah you're doing it you got that you got that I'm so fucking over now do the next verse

Keep going The next one This is a star spangled back No no no no You know what the next one The secret third verse You just You just said a bunch of war crimes

That happened In World War II Oh fuck oh fuck I'm just I thought it said Honestly there is a third verse Oh, there is? Yeah, yeah, but it doesn't come up until, I think, until the rebuilds.

I remember those, as a kid, going to Japan and seeing the models for that show and always being like, those next level. I want these. Oh, I wanted to be one. I got obsessed with it in college, and that's kind of feel like the thing that is kind of, it's a secret I have in terms of how much I like anime. Oh, interesting. Because I do like anime. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But Evangelion is my favorite, and that's the reason why I listened to it. I just wanted to know the words, because that's my favorite theme song of any television show of all. It's so funny how iconic anime theme songs have become just over the years because so many people are into anime that so many of these songs that like in Japan you're like, this is like Otaku stuff that you would only hear someone who's like really like trying to slap this music out loud. Real free. But here, yeah. I know people who are like, they're like, I know the Dragon Ball theme song in Japanese and like,

Shala and I'm like, whoa. Yeah, dude. People emotionally connect. The porch songs. Yeah, yeah. I think there's something about it. There's, there's, because it's also, it's better stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, you're getting really good, like, content in your cartoon. Like, there's emotional content. It's also, like, we don't even have fucking theme songs anymore for, like, TV shows. Like, the ones, you can remember the ones that have theme songs. What has happened to theme songs? Yeah. What in the living fuck? I feel like the last one was, remember, true detective had that great song that they,

the first season. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That had a really good opening song. And you were like, oh, this is awesome. We loved it. We would, like, listen to the song. the song. I feel like that is all gone. Was that, were two detectives,

were true detectives. It was by like bones, that got the bones. Yeah, yeah. But was that made for the show? Yes. Oh, well, see, that's what I'm talking. But did it have the titular true detective in the name? Yeah, well, yeah, I don't think it ever said. Yeah.

That's what I guess. It's not like family matters had it. Yeah. Honestly, that would be amazing. There's a, just like that's a girl. There's a girl with a footlers in her. You know. Jesus Christ.

And you're all out there and you're all alone. I can seem running away from freaks trying to bone. Wow. And here it is. I think Beclawing Hey, could have smiled. Yeah. Yeah.

Just turns to Karen's smiles. I knew that time was a flat circle. Sucking a signer. Kendo. But unfortunately, that a whole, I did not understand that whole show was stolen from, essentially the concept of that was stolen from Thomas Legati. Really? The author who wrote this whole book about the, like, he wrote an anti-human philosophy book.

Uh-huh. He's amazing. He's amazing. He wrote this, like, he's a horror novelist. Yeah. That decided to create an anti-life philosophy book. Uh-huh. So he wrote, like, essentially like a parody philosophy book that was about all of the worst theories that

anybody's ever had about our existence. So like Chopin, hour and all these things that were just like mechanical, machines that we should, to save the universe, humans should be eradicated. Right. It's great book. It's very funny. Agreed. Agreed.

Yeah. Just like pure nihilism. Like all the nihilism, they were just like, I'm going to pull that one and that. And it's just going to be a cop who says that shit. Exactly. They were, he was correct. But, you know. Yeah.

Unfortunately, he's right. What is something you think is underrated? The flute. Damn. This came up recently. I have been on a journey that I've kind of had a couple of other 40 plus men are also on this journey of jazz. And Andre 3000 kind of re-kicked it all in because when he did new Blue Sun. Yeah, Gateway to the flute jazz.

He did new Blue Sun and I had never heard anything like this before. And I'm a weed smoker. Love it. Right? I fucking first time I listened to us, I was like blew my mind. And then I started finding Alice Coltrane and Bobby Humphreys. And this guy, Joe Zawillanoole, another guy. Zavid, yes, that guy.

There's like all of this stuff. Weather Report. I started getting deep into flute. Jazz flute. Virginie style. Dude, Fusion jazz is awesome. And it blew my mind. It, like, made me understand, like, Alice Coltrane makes the harp funky.

Like, she does this crazy thing. And I never thought, I think what happened is I hit 40 plus. and I never really, let's just say, I didn't think I'd ever have my mind blown again. Oh, sure, sure, sure. Like, I didn't know. I heard it all. Yeah. It's like, I didn't think that, like, my mind could be like, like, in college or like,

and it is like kind of the first time that I'm experiencing the same form of awakening that I had when I was a younger person. That's amazing. And it's like getting deep into the music, Ed Larson, who works last podcast with me, he's, you know, a music head, and he'll do a thing like, choose an instrument, find the person that's best at the instrument follow the instrument so he starts like he's like

organ these are the guys that you want to go through trumpet these are the guys you want to go through and it's just you start to find this whole world of stuff I've been to the blue note like five times oh nice it's the coolest place in the world for flute stuff for flute ass stuff for flute material oh yeah chasing the flute to the blue note

I'm anti-fluke up to this point wow I hated the flute what did you think about it you're like what fuck is that Fuck the flute. Yeah. Some kind of, you know, glorified recorder. Yeah, I was like, whatever. It's a fancy-ass bullshit instrument for fancy people.

That's how I viewed it. I viewed it as weak, Phil Jethro Toll filler. Wow. Yeah. For whom the bell tolls. Yeah. You know? And then when that, then I heard it for the first time.

And then it really kind of felt like that being like, am I hearing flute for the first time level? Like it was like one of the, I like a flute. I like flu. And so that's kind of, now I'm a, I'm flute. You are second in-depth flute conversation. had this way. Yeah.

Really? Yeah. We're just talking about Ian Anderson from Jeff Roetal. Yeah. Dude, because you know what's funny is that I have a lot of guys that I, I feel like a lot of guys my age are starting to like, for some reason, we get into jazz.

Right. And I don't know why. It's cool. I don't know. I grew up with a lot of jazz. I was named after Miles Davis. So jazz was always like fucking there. Because like I never really understood Miles Davis.

And now I've been listening to a lot of Miles Davis. And I'll think, oh, that guy was the, the proto, like, superstar genius guy. Like, he's like Kanye and those all these guys

all this guys all mixed together. He could beat the shit out of everybody right today. Like his boxing ability, I think also goes very underrated. He was all, but if you read his biography,

he would like to slap somebody. Oh, he was a rough man. Yeah, yeah. He was smacked a shit out of you. Yeah, that's why I'm always comparing him to Jake Paul.

Yeah. Miles Davis, Jake Paul. I'm always like, I don't know, Jack. You're like, I don't know. If only they could have met

You're like, you said he's here to box Dude, Jake Paul got in the ring with Mike Tyson, dude, and he was okay. Well, Mike Tyson threw it. Yeah. Mike Tyson didn't want it to... My kids are named Jake and Paul. Yeah, that is true.

You know, do you know the artist Flying Lotus? Yes. So his aunt is, great aunt is Alice Coltrane. I did not know the thing. He descends from Matt Tree. Because I just saw Flying Lotus. I just saw him, and he was, I mean, he's amazing. Also, shout out to the valley.

He's from the valley. Yes, which is also, I'm valley strong now. I'm fully valley strong. And I love, and now, I also, you know, L.A. is like the jazz capital of the world, too. Yeah, a lot of jazz musicians live out here, and there's a ton of great jazz. I just, I can't believe it. You know what it's nice? Because I found that in certain areas where you're like, I think jazz is an underappreciated thing across the board.

I mean, obviously, it's famous, but like, it doesn't get all the, like, it goes up and down, right? And it's stock. So right now jazz might be at a low stock. Right. But it's amazing to be at like this place where you go and you're like, oh, it's like, I can get the best tickets in the world. You see the top jazz performers in the world, dirt-ass cheap. I'm standing five inches from them. Right.

And I was like, all you know. That's a little too close. And they're like, sir. Can you get in your, stay in your seat? Sir, sir, please. Are you with my manager? Just want to feel your breath. Sir, are you with my agency?

Because if not, I need you to go over there. That microphone's for my saxophone. Oh, I'm sorry. I was just used to talk. Yeah. She's talking. Just breathe in. But yeah, I also did the thing.

We went to see Kamasi Washington. Oh, nice. And my buddy, Ed, he's, Kamasi Washington's like number one fan. And I got to do the thing, which was really nice of, because after the blue note, he just walks right, he's right there. Yeah, yeah, they're just out there. They're just hanging.

And so I was, I did the drunk thing where I walked up. I was like, Mr. Washington, this is my buddy. And he's your number one fan. Oh, all right, fella. All right. And he was just like, Kamasi was very nice. He was like, yes, yeah, yes. And so I took the, took a picture.

I was like, Eddie, you're taking a picture with him? You're taking a picture just like the people do? Because I felt like I was like, I never do this. Yeah. It was great. Yeah, it was a great moment for your friend. You know, yeah, he can't remember it. He was actually slightly embarrassed, but it was also good for me.

Yeah, for sure. A wish, a wishmaker. Why is musical ability passed down like, like Jedi powers? Like that, I mean, it's just like, it's all about, I think, the house you grow up in, too. just the culture of your house because I got into music because music was always being played in my house. There was always instruments around. And you play instruments? Yeah, yeah.

So I grew up playing trumpet because it was just a self-fulfilling prophecy. Did you see the, did you hear the new Flee album? Yeah, yeah, I've listened to half of it. It's really great. It's really cool. Yeah, I love it. And I'm just glad because I think that's a thing people don't realize about Flee is that he is such a jazz head that people are just like, yeah, dude, red hutch. I'm like, dude, this guy is such a student of jazz.

Like, you don't get there without actually fundamentally being really. to jazz as like a base and I also played bass but yeah I think it was just those are like toys I got to play with sure and then you just kind of it just kind of happens and if you're encouraged it I don't know like we're our Monday episodes about with uh icon episodes about Whitney Houston and like her mom is like on the background of young Americans and stuff like it's like an amazing singer it's just like the voices like passed down I can believe something like that because you not everyone can have pipes yeah yeah that one I believe that is some kind of genetic. Like, obviously, if you're coming from singers, but...

There's genetic things I think that are a part of what makes people really good at something. Like, they were talking, I was just you know, reading about, like, with Michael Jordan. They said, like, the main issue was, like, the thing that he had that nobody else had was that extended thumb. Like, he had a thumb that was so far

out, like the way he was set in his hand, it made it extremely easy for him to palm the ball. Oh, interesting. That allowed him to do all the, a lot of the things that he did. He had this kind of natural thing that he could use. He did hold the ball, like a baseball. Yeah, and I feel like there is some of that. Yeah, slight things, yeah.

Little things that are like make you really good. Like, people are like, when you see this motherfucker in person, he looks like a minion. Like his legs are like tiny and then his torso. Yeah, it's just like a six foot torso. Yeah, yeah. I also think it's the same thing with movie stars. You have to be a certain type. Yes, your head has to be gigantic.

Your head has to be gigantic and your body has to be small. Every single celebrity I've ever met of a certain echelon shape just like that. You come into UTA and they just push you. And if you don't tip over immediately, they put a scale. They have a scale. They have like a Kool-Aid-sized hole,

like a cut out of a person. Like, sir, you're not fitting in. Yeah, you can't come in. Too much head space. Jack Black's head could probably fit like three, like, oh, it's a watermelon. His head's the size of a fucking watermelon. It is wild how big his head is.

What is something you think is overrated? Skinny actors with a lot of hair. I'm sick of this fucking shit. I've been watching a lot of Criterion movies. And I've been like, you know, I feel like that's one of the things. Culture's pulling away for me, but I'm not fighting it.

I understand as a 40-year-old man, culture's leaving me. Right? It's leaving me behind. I don't mind. I like it. It's nice here. So I've been watching a lot of older films.

And a lot of times that I've been watching all the older movies, deep in the Criterion app. deep into vinegar syndrome website, right? I'm watching all this stuff, and I just miss somebody with the face. I miss an actor that used to be a merchant marine. I miss an actor that had another life. I miss an actor that, like, did other things.

Harry Dean Stanton. Right, right, right, right. The fact that Harry Dean Stanton was a leading man is incredible. Sure, sure. He's ugly as fuck. And he's so charming. You look at all these other guys, like sex symbols. They were kind of jacked up.

Right, right, right. I got to miss it. Everybody's got veneers now. Yeah. I had evident drinking problems. Yes. Real, real problems. No visible.

Awesome ain't drawn on. No, dude. Real problems. I think that's the, that's what I miss. I feel like a lot of actors these days don't live a lot of life before they do anything.

Everything is all like, everybody's now doing acting by the time they're four years old in order to make it. So nobody's like living a life and then bringing that to movies. Yeah, right. Like Harrison Ford,

like, you know, like his scar. He's a carpenter. Yeah, from. construction and shit like that. And he was sexy. And I don't think you need to look perfect. And I obviously, yeah, look at me.

I'm losing my hair, right? Maybe I'm a part of it. I'm mad at you. I'm mad at you, dude. I don't want to look at you anymore, man. Fuck you, dude. But I mean this idea. I see your veneers, man.

But it's the, it really is. Like, I joked about this, but this idea of like, men should be accepting more of their privilege to look like shit. Yeah, sure. We should not allow these marketing people to affect us. men by telling us we need to have hair and look good, okay? Because we're not supposed to. We're supposed to look like shit. Everyone's beautiful. No one's horny. Did you read that essay? Yes. Yeah, about the film landscape and everybody is just looks like a fitness model.

I love sinners. Love sinners. Main issue is that in the back scenes of sinners, it's just, what do they call someone? I forgot what? Some podcast came up with the concept of iPhone face. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's that's all I see. I just see people with, perfect teeth, too good of skin. You're looking too good. You look too good to look like you live in a 19-20s. I can tell you're vegan. I know that you moisturized.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you have things that people don't have access to. And I guess that's what it is. I just watched, we went through, we're doing a new movie podcast for Sirius XM. And one of the things that we're doing is going to talk about the competitors. Yeah, yeah, I know. Whoa, whoa. All right.

It's in that episode. It doesn't matter. The internet's free. So we, we're going through William Friedkin's films. Oh, yeah. and it's just like cruising, the background actors of cruising, real people.

Not actors, yeah. Oh no, they are sucking and fucking. But it's nice to feel it. You need like, yeah, like sort of like what Chris Nolan's dedication to practical effects are. You need someone the same thing like, bro, these people look like fucking actors, man. And then what's the name? Those guys are trying to fix that. Safty brothers.

Yeah. fix it, but then they keep hiring criminals. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's the opposite. We need to kind of find the opposite. Just regularly. Be careful about it, but yeah, find people who look like, I just watched, it was just an accident, the Iranian movie.

And like that's one of the first things you notice also was like, these people all look like real people. They are people. Like there's a guy who got fucked up from like being imprisoned and like, you know, tortured. And he looks like it. Like he looks like, yeah, he's wears it. He has like kidney problems and you can see it in his body that he's like got kidney problems. Yes.

Yeah. That's what fucking dude. Yeah. And back to Henry's point, I just feel like the second men have to like feel any kind of pressure from unrealistic beauty standards. Dude, fuck all that, man. Right. Get away from me. Oh, dude.

I am out. That's not for guys. That's not for guys to ever experience patriarchy fails. We are jobs as men. If we're going to have a patriarchy, let it. work for us, please? Like, why, like, we're not going to dismantle it? Why do we have to fight?

Why do I have to follow these other rules? Right? We haven't done there. But I, I just feel like we're at this point when I'm watching, like, comedians. Yeah, sure. Get new teeth. Oh, yeah. Hair installed.

That's not, season two? Season two glove. It is just the same. You're lucky. When Lauren goes, I want to do something with you. How do you feel about teeth? Yeah. Something new.

Like, generally, to be honest, to be honest, not to be honest, he made, Sherr Sherman's shave. Really? Yeah, because she was not, like, she did not shave. She had the Frida Callows? He literally made her shave. Like, that's like a thing that we're looking at where it's like, Sarah Sherman doesn't need to fucking, she doesn't have to.

What the fuck? I didn't even know that. Oh, yeah. I mean, Lord Michaels is a psychopath. No, I mean, I know that part. But yeah, I just didn't even, everything I've heard has been from previous season. I didn't know what the current. Oh, no.

There's still. Oh, yeah. There's still talks of people's weight. There's talks of people's hair. There's so many conversations, which is. I mean, I don't know. I guess, like, I do appreciate taking better care of myself. I'm trying to take better care of my teeth.

Unlike my father, who thought that brushing your teeth was gay. I'm trying to, like, literally, like, he thought it made you. Put something in my mouth. That's too. That's a damn, too. Yeah. I don't put, I don't do that. That's gay.

And so it's like, I don't, like, so I, I think that it's good that we're taking care of ourselves and caring more. Doing the bare minimum. Yeah. But, you know, I just don't need, I'm not going to Turkey. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I say that all the time. I mean, I'm right there with you, you know what I mean?

But you look good. Well, yeah, luckily I have a great shaped head, and, you know, darker complexion does look good with the shaped head. It does. It does. No, unfortunately, when I shave my head, I am going to... You'll get sunburned to me. No, I'm just going to look like I'm in the Aryan nation.

Yeah. That's the problem. Is that once I shave my head, once I have the beard, because I have the beard and this, I have no tattoos, though, so I think that saves me a little bit. Right. But I'm headed into, is that a man, a bouncer at an old cockney bar? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I'm trying to be more approachable to young people, not because I mean, I hate them, but I'm trying to be more approachable to younger energies so I can still be around it. So I am trying to find that mix, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you're doing it. You're thread in the needle right now. Hey, hey, wait. Yeah.

Fuck. I don't know, buddy. Picked it over on your knee, holding up one finger. Come closer, youth. Come again, say again, say it again. In my good ear. What was your, what's your favorite song of 2026? Garbage.

You know, like, well, you know, I'm also, I am, I'm listening to new bands. Yeah. I listen to that wet leg. I like them. Okay. Yeah, I like them. That's the closest I got. There you go.

I like Viagra Boys and Amol and the Sniffer's. And if anybody's going to bring back rock and roll, it's those stupid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, they're fun. You're like proto punk. Yeah. They're actually really cool. Their music videos are dope too.

And they have a lot of post-punk influences. Like, sometimes you're like, listen and be like, that sounds like pixies. It sounds like Devo. So it goes all over the place. And then it's like hardcore. You're fucking great. Hell yeah. Should we take a break?

Yeah. We'll take a break. And we're going to talk about some news. We'll be right back. Fuck yeah. Talk about hardcore. Fuck yeah. Tell you what's punk rock.

The news. Reading. I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. Hi, dad. And just when I said that, my mom comes out of the kitchen. She says, I have some cookies and milk. This is his badass convict. Right.

Just finished five years. I'm going to have cookies and milk them all. Yeah.

It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future.

This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything.

But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Hi, I'm Bob Pittman, chairman and CEO of IHeart Media, and I'm kicking off a brand new season of my podcast, Math and Magic, stories from the frontiers of marketing. Math and Magic takes you behind the scenes of the biggest businesses and industries while sharing insights from the smartest minds in marketing. I'm talking to leaders from the entertainment industry to finance and everywhere in between. This seasonal math and magic, I'm talking to CEO of Liquid Death Mike Cessario, financier and public health advocate, Mike Milken. Take-2 interactive CEO, Strauss-Zalnik. If you're unable to take meaningful creative risk and therefore run the risk of making horrible creative mistakes, then you can't play in this business. Sesame Street CEO Sherry Weston and her own chief business officer, Lisa Coffey. Making consumers see the value of the human voice and to have to have.

have that guaranteed human promise behind it really makes it rise to the top. Listen to math and magic, stories from the frontiers and marketing on the Iheart radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. We're back. We're back. Incredible. How's everything going?

Oh, great. With the response to our dear Lord and Savior saving us from. Jack, stop making jokes, dude, because Caroline Levin has something to say. because before we get into this, maybe we should say that the state sanctioned a description of what has happened is that this is a, this is not an L.

No, an L. What are you talking about? Excellence of our warriors at the direction of the commander and chief, the world has just witnessed a historically swift and successful military defeat. You know, we just, we just, um, let's let them have it.

Right? Yeah, right. Let's let them have. Truly. Shut up. If they fucking think that's, win, fuck it. This is where we're at

and this is how we're going to talk to grampi and old grampi rapist needs to be kind of like told. Yeah, fuck the Taco Tuesday. Let's fuck it. No, you did you did so good. You did. It's time for I keto. Iran is so

fucking cooked. Yeah. They are so sad. They're so scared. They were really scared. You're scared. And everybody, you know, that was the thing Pete Hanks said yesterday is Iran was begging us. They were begging us. And we all know it. And everyone knows it.

We all know it. Meanwhile, like, Iran has been, haven't they, like, you'd probably say they've been waiting for this, right? Oh, yeah. They always knew. They're like, someone's going to be dumb enough to try it. Yeah, yeah. And when we do, because this is the thing that was always said, the second you attack Iran, they're going to cut the straight of Hormuz off. And engage the protocol.

Yeah, yeah. They're like, all right, great. We're waiting to do this. And you know, those guys in the street are all like, fuck yeah, a whole day. off. They're all just like, oh shit, we just don't have to do anything to it. Like, that's amazing for them. So I'm not going to be home. Yeah, damn straight's so close. Yeah. I don't know what's happening. What the fuck's going on with this guy? But yeah, this is the heckset quote because it is, again, all they're trying

to do is project that this is a win, but you can tell they are all like, it stinks like shit. I've never heard that. They've sounded like North Korea before. I've never heard them sound that much like North Korea as she did in that. This is a historical victory. Like, Even her cadence is weird. She sounds like she's at gunpoint. Yeah, yeah. Like she sounds like she's being forced to say it. Here's Pete Hagsad is saying,

dude, it's fucking so historic and they, and we beat them. No other president has shown the courage and resolve of this commander in chief. President Trump forged this moment. Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it. I am so sick of that man. Yeah. I am so fucking sick of this entire situation. Yeah.

It's all bad. And depending on where you are in the right, there's like, you're either sad, angry, or confused. Seems to be the three buckets that I've seen from all the right winger. Iran is jealous of the president's virile good looks. And we all know it. And we all know. Oh, I know that. Oh, I know that.

They saw his big penis and they said, we don't want no smoke. We don't want any of that. We've been reviewing these Epstein files, and we've seen how gross that guy is. You're right. He's crazy. You're right. He is crazy. He's fucking crazy.

We don't want anything to do with it. So in the confused slash sad column, we have Mark Levine, Fox News host. He's in that group of people who was like, yes, kill everyone. Right, right. And now that it's not happening, he's like, oh, shit, tonight. What the fuck is this? So here's Mark Levine, just utter confusion over what just happened with this? ceasefire. People of Iran. What are we going to just leave them there? There's nothing that we can do

and we're going to wash our hands over that. That to me is morally very difficult, very difficult to shaking. And then what about the proxies, Hezbollah? So he just goes on just to be like, what did he want? He's like, we're just going to leave the people of Iran there. We're supposed to live them up. I think he's the regime. I have a four car sedan that cost $98 to fill yesterday. That's what I think. Right. As I look at this and it literally costs. Yeah.

Fucking the, the gas prices or it is at $8 an hour. It is at $8 a fucking gallon. Yeah. And we're talking about this stuff. Yeah. Well, see, and again, the people that have these takes, they're the people who look at that and like, whatever, fucking it's $8 a gallon.

Yeah. Fine. Easy for me. I do very well. Right. And it's extremely expensive. It's eye watering. It is wild.

For the first time I did that thing I hadn't done since I was in college. I don't know if I need a full tank. Yeah. I literally like, I scored it. I'm like, I could just give it 20, right? I could just move a little top off. This will go away soon, right? I was reading this article in Garbage Day that was like a very interesting concept of,

which kind of comes from the Cash Patel thing too with the. So Cash Patel runs the FBI memes first, right? Social media first. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And this. Enforcement third or fourth. Yes, we are now watching the Department of Defense do the same exact thing. Yeah.

This is social media first. They really have this idea. are so like now we're like into we're past the curtain we're into a bunch of people that have now come to fully believe if we win the war on social media yeah it will mean something if the belief is there if the belief is there it will mean something but now what we're really seeing which is what i think part of what happened with january 6th which was this jump from the internet to reality where reality is not touching the internet it is not we're not getting the reaction we're not Right. So we are talking all this meme shit about how, oh, we've won the war and we're doing this kind of like psychological thing in the United States of America to say that we've won the war using memes, using all this type of stuff.

but it is very obvious that we have not achieved a single fucking thing. Right. Right. We have not gotten any of the thing. We have not toppled the dynasty. We have not gotten anything out of this deal. The 10 point deal that he just struck up is literally where we were in the beginning. Yeah, yeah.

Or even less than. Now, we have to pay them money for reparations for what we just did to them for some fucking reason. So I think that it is interesting. We're running up against this. They are really hitting a wall. Yeah. Because it's not coming up. Your memes are not making the groceries cheaper.

They're not making the straight of... And you look like an asshole when you do that now. Or they're like, what the fuck are they doing? And now they just close the straight again. Yeah. Because Israel was bombing them. Yeah. It's the inputs.

It's not just the outputs. The inputs, what they take in is the memes also. Yes. And just the successful... And they see light counts on Twitter and they've convinced themselves like Twitter's reality. And Elon's controlling that. So if he's controlling the conversation. Right.

But that's wild, right? And that's called what happens when media people are in charge of real things. Right. Like none of these people should be in charge of real things. Yeah, Pete Hacks was a Fox News correspondent. Cash Patel was a YouTuber. Right. He was not a police officer.

So we're looking like all of these people. Donald Trump is a character from reality television. Yes. He's a fake executive producer. And he's doing foreign policy as if it's a movie. Yeah, exactly. Like a madman. Yeah.

And it's literally what he's doing. What the fuck are you doing? It goes, ah, never mind. Took a win. I've created a historic beast deal. Swish, baby. But then it's doing this thing to us where it is terrifying the people, the United States of America. And on some level, like, we have to get past this.

You know, we've been doing the Jimmy Saville series. The whole thing is how he won in the end was that everybody was like, he's a fucking, he's not anything. Oh, Jimmy Saville's just some silly guy. He's not damaging while he's on my TV. and that's what I know. That's the main part of him. And they don't really understand that now we're really in this now.

There really are, the TV people are running the actual, like, flows of fuel and food and medicine. I think that's why the propagandists are also kind of starting to crack like Tucker Carlson and like Alex Jones. And like I was saying that on one day was that they know they can bullshit up to a point.

But they're smart enough to know when like, they're just full on. just making up an entirely different reality. If they did a nuclear attack on Tehran, the whole world would have turned against us. Yeah, yeah. The entire world, we would have been fucked. And it was this close. It was definitely this close.

Yeah, depending on Vav. The fact that they're using it as a chip now is the posture. Yeah. So, and like Laura Lumer also was really hoping for, hey, man, let's go all in on killing a civilization. she was she's also in the confused column too but also pointing out what a fucking L like what is this for and more in the sense of like if you're rooting for Donald Trump and think he's powerful then it's an she's looking more and more like art the clown from terror fire every fucking day what concessions did we get what concessions did we get Iran practically got everything that they wanted

you have all these people in the woke rike who said that they wanted to use the 25th amendment against the president of the woke rike these are the people who were celebrating so what exactly did we win. I'm not really understanding. Maybe if I take a quick drink for the next 35 minutes. Well, let's get to move. Yeah. That's like, man, Lord Lumer is a fucking sleep paralysis

demon. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I very rarely look at her. Yeah. You know, Megan Kelly is in the Pist column. I was, that's where. She's seated in the Pist section because this is her now. She's cursing up a storm, acting like she got a show on crooked media or some

shit the way she's talking. I mean, I don't I don't know about you, but I am sick of this shit. What? I'm sick of it. Can he just behave like a normal human? I mean, honestly, like the president, I, at 3D chess, shut up. Fucking shut up. Wow.

You don't threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. We're talking about civilians just casually in a social media post. You know, like, I am the first to try to understand Trump and his strategy. You're not freak out over his weird social media posts. Weird. Sick of this. Fucking. And language that is loose and incendiary.

Telling us we're freaking out. Yeah. That's funny because it's like we're freaking out. We're the ones who are fucking freaking out. Right. Yeah. We're all on the same planet. It's just weird.

Yeah. It's not dangerous. It's just weird. Weird. He's a bit of a weirdo. We see this all the time. It's false equivalence. It's like I see it in my industry all the time.

Right. You're like of just people that are like, oh, but. Yeah. Well, I mean, just with Megan Kelly, right? She may have said that. I just want to say mere like one day prior, she said this on her show. I mean, honestly, Trump could drop a nuke and I'd still vote Republican over those people. And that is funny?

Yeah. It's so funny. That is actually a really good one. Again, do what? This is what? So many people, they're trying to have their exit position for how they act like they had nothing to do with this that like as if Megan Kelly wasn't fucking front row like Jack Nicholson

cheering this shit on normalizing all this and now you know they want to have these sound bites too are like this is fucked up and terrible how do we save our senses of humor as a society when they're being weaponized against us in this way like how do we figure out

how to joke yeah about inappropriate things the way we're supposed to is comedians when we are put into this same world as like like they're they're they they kind of compare the two right they compare like offensive comedy to like what trump is doing and what the politics are doing like they're the same pushing boundary right i wonder if is that my fault like am i part of the problem here in terms of

like the ironic humor i came up with in millennial society in which i could hold the two in my head I could be a genuine normal, very nice person and have very, very naughty things to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And don't do anything naughty. And now I feel like we're just in this other world where no one can hold those two thoughts. It's either you say naughty things and you're bad, you're a bad person or something like this. We're like, they're destroying the world. Yeah, yeah.

But they can get away with it because they're rich and powerful. I think that's the only thing. Like it's, yeah. We couldn't get away. Like they rightly were. like, you're not a serious person when you say stuff like that in the past. And

now he's rich and powerful in saying stuff like that and they're like, well, you know, he's the president. That's your right. Because it seems like once he got to president, then it's like, well, you know, now everything he says is justified and everything's fine because he's president. We love a winner. But yes, but I just feel like what we have sort of

laughed ourselves into this a little bit. I worry. Yeah. We kind of didn't take any of this very seriously. for very long and I'm one. Yeah. No, I mean, I think for sure, like, some part of it is like a comfort where you're just sort of like, surely this isn't going to happen.

Like, this guy's an asshole. Right. And then you're like, oh, fuck. Because I still want to be offensive. I want to be offensive and I want to be funny and I want to be carefree and I want to be all the stuff. But I feel like there's a difference between casually wishing for the death of an entire civilization and saying something like naughty on Twitter or something.

And I feel like they are considered pretty much the same at this point. Right. Right. I mean, yeah, it is a. Do you know Blind Boy, the Blind Boy podcast? No. A really funny Irish guy was talking about how the thing that they've taken is they've, like in the past, fascism had solemnity.

And so you could mock it with like the Great Dictator or something. Of course, because they took themselves very seriously. Yeah, they took themselves very seriously. And it's just a chess move they've done where they're like, what if we didn't take ourselves seriously while doing fascism? I don't think that then, I don't think our response to that move. should be, then we'll be, we'll be solemn.

You know what I mean? I think we just need to still be able to speak like normal human beings while calling this shit out. You're correct. All right, let's take a quick break. We're going to talk amongst ourselves

here and figure out how to solve this and we'll be back to tell you guys how to solve the world. We got it. I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. Hi, Dad. And just when I said that, My mom comes out of the kitchen and she says, I have some cookies and milk.

While during the pandemic, we noticed that as the economy stopped, like, people stopped going to work and like buying things and all that stuff. The stock market managed to stay afloat. People were like, huh, that's weird. And then we noticed at the grocery store, all the prices went like way the fuck up. Oh, yeah. And we were like, oh, that seems unfair. Why are they, why are they doing that to us? This one cool trick companies don't want you to know. They don't want you to know about. And it seemed pretty straightforward. And then, sorry, the first quarter reports come in and they're like, guys, we got record fucking profits over here.

We're like, oh, but you said the reason the prices went up was because of... We weren't buying anything. Yeah, yeah. And because of fucking supply chain issues. Supply chain issues was supposed to be the reason why you have record profits. But then companies that didn't have supply chain issues are like, oh, okay, so if they're yeah, everyone, okay. Every fucking person just raise the prices during the pandemic.

And I haven't noticed. But I do believe at the time, right, no one was like, because we weren't buying anything. Right. I know I was like flush. I know a lot of people during COVID that were working, like had all this like extra money. Right. Like because they weren't buying anything and they weren't doing anything. And I just think it was like, they're like, how do we get that?

Oh, we can kind of click it up a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, especially too with the payments too, like when people were getting relief checks too, that was another time the company was like, oh, somebody's got some money. How do you suck that up? I'm coming and panic.

They all drink our milkshake is essentially what it comes down to. And they have an amazing ability to know when we got a little bit of extra milkshake for them to drink up. And they did that. And we were like, that's not how economics is supposed to work.

And economists were like, you're fucking crazy. Well, I'm the economist and I just made a bunch of money. So fuck all. of you. It's working. Yeah. I even remember when Kamala Harris during the, her presidential run, mentioned greedflation and everyone was like, whoa, it was like she like came out and was like, I think aliens assassinated JFK. They were like, wow, fringe theory. So there's this new story

about how Doritos is having to cut their prices. Notice that it doesn't get covered when they raise their prices. It just gets covered now that they're cutting it. Yes, that's so funny. They're like, they'll all be like, God damn, can you see what's happening? We got a fucking deal. They're coming for the chips. So they're big, big news that they're cutting prices. The reason they had to cut prices is because they left the prices too high for too long. And in this article from finance.

com, in this article, they just like are now admitting reflation. Yeah, yeah. They admit it. It says across the past. packaged food industry, companies raised prices aggressively during the pandemic as the phenomenon of greedflation took hold. Phenomenon? The phenomenon.

So you're acting like, so like the pet rock. So this is like the twist is greed flation. So we are, oh, so it's just a fun new fad that we're all just like. Greed didn't exist before this. We're wild. Phenomenon. This is like a part of the, it's the way they package the information. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

You're like, you calling it. So passive, too, about it. Well, it's like, it's a thing. The latest craze with teenage corporations. It's like El Nino. Right. That's how they're acting like, like, we don't know why it comes and we don't know what it does when it lays. This is exactly what.

So this is the orthodoxy in the world of not just economics, which is like an academic discipline, nobody gives a fuck. But that's how like these channels are 24 hours a day paying attention to the market. They act like it is weather patterns. They act like it's not. You're just, like, we know some things about, so we can, like, make predictions, but they, they cut out the fact that it's just these corporations at the levers just being like, we're going to fucking charge them as much as we possible, as much we possibly can. Yeah, yeah, we're going to push this to the very lip at all times.

Yeah, and there's just nobody working on, like Ralph Nader used to be somebody who was famous for working on behalf of consumers. There's not that person anymore. This is what we have instead is like the tacit acknowledgement that they were charging us unfair amounts of money like five years later. That's like when the Pope apologized to Jewish people for like, sorry, we helped all those Nazis to get out of Germany. Except they're not even saying, sorry. They're just acknowledging that it was a thing that was a craze. Oh yeah, that happened.

That happened. Yeah, it was quick. We were all crazy back then. But we're moving on. Do you not think that us here at Doritos weren't also suffering from the lack of connection from our revenue? We were suffering and we felt the way to connect with you was to remind you Doritos is here. At first, this is a quote from the article.

At first, shoppers didn't mind the price increases. Because we didn't know and we were dealing with the pandemic. Because you told us it wasn't happening. Yes, and we were also scared of our fucking minds. And if it was, there was, some people were like, oh, that makes sense if stuff's not getting here, stuff's not moving. We believed you. You could kind of be like, I can see the logic in that.

Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah, of course the Dorito. trees. We didn't mind. We can't get to the Dorito trees right now. All the workers, they're sick. And they don't believe, you know, like these workers, they don't want to go to the Dorito trees. And Henry, nobody wants to work anymore.

Tell me about it. All right. Tell me about it. You know how many times I've tried to get the homeless people around my office to go attack the police station? Nobody wants to do anything anymore. And that's fun. That is fun. I was going to give them $100 a piece to piss all over the front of a police station. Or at least tell them.

The one who did the best job was going to get $100 and they would have to fight over. And I'd watch from a car across the street. Yeah. And get content. Thank you. Double dipping. That's what that's called. That's called synergy.

Partly because of higher prices, Frito lays net revenue shot up 13% between 2020 and 2021. And another 9% between 21 and 22. I'd go up, baby. Because they just kept raising prices. And then people were like, I don't know, Doritos shouldn't. cost $7. They really shouldn't, man. They really fucking shouldn't, dude.

Yeah. It is, uh, it's corn. Yeah. It's corn with salt on it. And sweet dust. It is the easiest. It is the easiest. Yeah, I love that dust.

And I don't care what amount of flex of, of, of asbestos. Yeah. Or in it. Yeah. Because it tastes good. Right. But I know it's cheap to make. Sure.

So just give it to poison me at cost. Right. Right. That's all I ask. We're going to agree. I'll like, I'll pretend it's not poison. I know it's poison. And I know it's.

Yeah, we've given on that one. That was the first thing we gave on. Just the fact that they just did all that math and say that eating a fucking sheet of ham as the equivalent of smoking a cigarette. They have this whole thing now where they're saying they're applying. They're saying that salted meats are as bad as nicotine. It's like, yeah, then just don't charge me a lot for it. Yeah.

Like, I'll eat a lot of it then. I'll eat so much. So nobody else can eat it. I'll get out of your way. I'll get out of your way. That's my problem. Make Jersey Mike's like a 50 cents for the super. Are they trying to kill us or are they trying to keep us alive to work?

It's that perfect middle, you know? It's the same thing with like our pharmaceutical drugs that we get here versus the ones in Europe. It's like ours work just enough that you don't go to the hospital, but not good enough that you're not going to keep, you're going to stop buying the fucking medication. You've ever gotten that good stuff in Europe? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's so much. I was sick in Europe and I got the good stuff.

It's worth getting sick in Europe. It is. You can get a little bit of it. You can see the other side. They get really good. I get really good. Oh, dude, it's the best. It doesn't look over the cat.

It doesn't have bright colors because why would it? We're not trying to like fucking sell you on this. It's like white box that says medicine. That is like it's not sexy. There's no packaging. You know some commercials for it. It just makes you feel better. And I do obviously think Europe's got its own issues, but not with that.

Yeah, at the very least they believe in some things. They have their issues. It's just hard for us to see them from. inside this shit storm. What those issues are. Your issues look great to us. Their issues are our issues. It's all the same shit.

They got Italy. You got a fucking Nazi in charge of Italy. Yeah. You've got free speech getting kicked in the ass in the UK. Yeah. All the time. Germany's going back towards the right. All of these types of things are all happening.

So they're all going to get it. Well, yeah. Because at the same time, it's always like, what's causing these people to move to the right? It surely can't be because we're not, you know, improving their quality of life. Yeah. Or anything like that.

But I find it interesting because, like, how can nobody see that when people are upset and angry, they move to the right? Like, it's kind of interesting because you're like, nobody happy is in there. Yeah, sure. There's no happy. There's nobody happy. No he's happy to be a Republican. Right, right, right. They're literally just, are.

They feel like it's like what even Megan Kelly said. I just, I am one. And so I am like this no matter what. Right, right, right. And that's really a crazy way to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It doesn't make any sense. Well, they treat it like it's being realistic, which is so fucking frustrating.

It's so funny. That is what that's how they talk to you about being Republican. They're like, well, like idealism is, yeah, sure. Did you see Rogan talk to Theo Vaughn about that, about how Theo Vaughn was saying something about he might have trying to express some form of emotion. Yeah, he was like, and about Iran and all this kind of stuff. And Rogan was like, you got to come hang out at the other shit. Bro, stop talking all this shit. You should be partying with me and doing this stuff.

And I legitimately, I was like, oh, that's. That's being invited into MAGA. Being invited into that means that you get to not care about anything. Yeah, that's right. They're basic, they've positioned themselves at the fork in the road, basically. Right. When someone goes,

I think it's like stuff's all fucked up. And then feels weird. It was like, Am I like crazy, man? Like I feel like I'm crazy. You're tripping, man. You just need to relax. He's like,

am I overblowing this? Yeah, dude, you are. Way overblowing it, man. Come have some cigars. I think we just need to go on Rogan. I mean, I just want to get in the. the office and see what happens.

I am not a, how do I put this? Because I'm not even a leftist. I'm not even, I don't know what you'd call me politically. I am just like not, the idea that you could segue into the other side in this fashion is so easily, is just, I'll never understand it. I'm doing very well financially. And I'm extremely angry.

And I don't understand how not everybody else feels the same way. I think because you're still tethered to the real. world because there's people who truly they don't they wouldn't know a poor they don't know a single working poor person right at all so that that way of living is completely obscured to them and they're only around other people who are like man shit's great i mean the news is fucked up right but materially i've just tuned it out honestly you guys i've just tuned it out yeah i just can't with the news and let's say it's such a bummer let's go to dubai or something right let's just relax over there let's go let's go to to run. We know some people over there. No, I do. Yeah, I guess that's why, yeah, I'm good.

You know, because you know how hard life is. These people have either have never known how hard life is or have, it's been too long since they knew how hard life was that to them, they're like, I don't think it's that bad for everyone. Dude, you just need to come party with me. Dude, I basically discovered as a CEO, number one, a CEO is the most replaceable person in any business. I feel like if there was a, if AI was going to replace anybody, they were replace CEOs. Yeah, yeah. All you're doing is recognizing trends, right?

That's kind of what you're supposed to do. What does that better than an algorithm? And your collection of letters. Yes. And so I think that's, that's a thing. I also learned that by me getting like 1%, 2% less takeout, I could give everybody health care. Yeah, right.

And it was this amazing thing of like, oh, the littlest move of the needle up top changes everything. All of this stuff. Yeah. And that's all you have to do. Yeah. But they fight that. Like that, that idea of, like, not doing the thing that is most profitable for the CEO at all times is dangerous to them.

I just doesn't understand because it made all of my employees way happier. And you're all working and they're happy. You feel a beholden to your employees. I love my. I'm indebted to my employees. And the relationship is completely inverted. They're like, I'm, I'm exploiting you for my fucking game. What are you talking about?

You're lucky. You get paid money. to do shit. And I think that because that's ridiculous. That's a ridiculous and that's the sickness. It's just ridiculous like nothing gets done. Yeah. Yeah. And that's like you can kind of see it. Like these guys are full of fucking shit. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They just got to

make two million less than a fucking $50 million package. Yeah. Or boo-hoo when they're like, I mean, because and that's the defense people always do. It's like, I mean, just think of how this is going to impact these job creators. Like, I see what your bonus package is. Hundreds of millions of fucking dollars. Get fuck. And you guys, there's plenty of money.

There's plenty of money. There's plenty of money. There's plenty of food. There's plenty of oil. There's plenty. That's why also they work overtime to convince people that it is such a zero-sum game. And abundance like that is completely unachievable. Money is fake. Yeah.

Money's fake. Everybody can get some. Yeah. Anyways, they're cutting prices. Praise be to the corporate overlords of Friedel lane. Burger King apologized too. Yeah. Burger King apologized for the Whopper.

They did the thing where they, because of the McDonald's, Well, that guy, the fucking non-human CEO did that thing, made all these guys have to, like, face a reckoning. Burger King's like, we suck. They did the, the domino's thing. They did the thing, we suck. We get it. We're putting out new burgers.

And so apparently new burgers are good. Oh, and they changed the fries. Oh, I hated those friends. But that's a big deal. Yeah. I was like, somebody's listening to somebody. Yeah, yeah. And I'll be like, hey, we're moving the needle here.

They're like, Boshy. The French Revolution of America is like, we're getting new whoppers. Let them eat woppers. The Donald CEO has to go on TV. One percent less rat meat in these roberts. Yep. I'm kind of a god. Preparmentary revolution.

It's just, we just ask for, we don't understand how, like, we got to ask for, we're not getting enough. Right. And it's, it's, we got to get it. We don't even know. We can't even imagine what it would be like to get enough. Yeah. I feel like in this country. Yeah.

I mean, we can line up a bunch of these guys, I think, in a row. I think what I would do is I would get about a hundred. thousand Americans together. I'd go to Washington, D.C. I'd go to all these various places. And I'd line up all of them, right? A bunch of them in a super long line in which we elephant line and which we attach them by chains with big like dunce caps on.

And we take them on a national tour of cities where people are allowed to throw things at them. And then I think that then they can have the money. Okay. If they are, if they can get through that, yeah. If they can all come into a national punishment tour every year, nothing has to change. Well, they still need to come off that money, though. Well, that's what I would say.

It's like, they could give free stuff out that day. So, like, when you go there to go throw shit at them, you also get a $500 check. Right. Like, you get, like, money from them. You could throw stuff at them. They go, we're sorry, we're sorry. And then they all get batting a big fucking, like, circus, like kind of like a train, like a circus train. But they go to big box car.

I would go to the next. I would up the anywhere. Whatever town they're in, the town gets to vote on who's going to throw the thing. Oh, sure. Yeah, it's going to be Shohei Otani, Randy, Randy Johnson. People were just going to be fucking just going lacing. Oh, yeah, dude. We got to get it.

Ass up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Baseballs. But I feel like if they all could take that for the team, America would be actually satisfied with that. Yeah, yeah. I think they just need to go on a listening tour, guys, personally. Honestly, but you see, I don't think you understand everywhere I go, I am on listening to you. Wow.

The five guys CEO gave away a one and a half million dollar bonus to employees because there was like a buy one get one thing that just inundated all the stores with so much business. And like the crews are like, what the fuck are you guys doing? He gave away the one and a half million dollar bonus. He's like, it's the least I can do. He said, I didn't want anybody shooting me in the back or anything after the first day. That's what I'm fucking talking about. That's what he said. They need to fear.

They need to fear. They need to speak. it up. We had no idea that we were going to get that kind of response. That's a mate. See again? I don't want anybody shooting me in the back. Guess what? That's all they need. That's the exact example that they all should follow. Yeah, he

knew well enough. That guy needs to go on a speaking tour. When people did the math though, they're like if you spread that out, I want to have million dollars over all the employees. Oh, it's like ten bucks. You could have done a lot better, bro. I was like, hey, hey, hey, let's go back to congratulating me, please. You got it in five guys bucks.

Yeah, yeah. We don't need to look into all the details of it that's a million dollars I don't have anymore. Yeah, I said, I don't need that. Henry, such a pleasure having me. Man, thank you guys for having me. Thanks for doing it, man. Where can people find you, follow you here, you see you all that good stuff? YouTube, LPN TV. The main thing I want you to go see is like, yes, I do last podcast in the left inside stories, but we are working at the last podcast network. We have created an actual play, role playing game. We're in this thing now. Oh, nice. Vampire the Masquerade. It's on LPN TV on YouTube. We are doing, it's really both funny and dramatic and sexy,

and we're doing a new season coming up called Bloodbath 77. Bloodbath 77. Yes, and we're doing vampire games. And they find that anywhere, podcasts? YouTube. It's on YouTube, but it's on LPN TV. Nice. LPN TV.

There it is. CEO. What's some real CEO shit. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not trying to get shot in the back. Not anymore. That's hard trying to put out fresh farm content.

He's got to work pretty hard on this. I'm not trying to get shot in the back. Is there a work of media that you've, been enjoying. Honestly, recently, besides Evangallian, I have been re-reading the stand,

which is really good. I feel like that's a good thing that I've been, but to be honest, it's music. I'm fully in music. I'm fully in flute. I'm fully in jazz and flute.

The flute seems like the hardest instrument. It's a hot chicken instrument. Apparently that's what they call. It's a hot chick instrument. Because it's one of those, because I remember when I was really fat coming up, I wanted to play the violin.

and teacher said I was too fat to play the violin. What? Oh, yeah. So it was too fat because I couldn't do it because of my neck or whatever. I think she just thought I'd look gross. Wow. That's legitimate. Yeah, it's real.

Henry, what, violent? The early 90s were very honest. I remember going to get my suits in the Husky section and like all, like, you know, like all that kind of shit. They used to not guarantee at all. But the husky section of the violin store. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Which they don't have. I don't fucking have. No, yeah, that's why I think in the end it's a, it's for thinner people. But it can be, I still forgive them. We'll allow it. Miles, where can people find you as their work of media? You've been enjoying.

Yeah, find me everywhere. Everywhere. Everywhere, because I like food now. I like food. I like my flu. Everywhere at Miles of Gray, I'm talking about 90-day fiancé on 420-day fiancé.
