Just slapping some nasty bass. Just hitting power chords, being like, be gone! Miles, season 99, 99 weeks of this shit, man. They said we couldn't do it. Yeah, they did, and they sued us, too. They did. Because they said we couldn't do it, and we did. And we did it anyways.

Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat. Who better to start off this historic season 99 than... Strap on your coat. Hello. The man himself, Mr. Chris Crofton. Hi, how are you? How are you? I'm great.

I feel good. I feel real good. Did you bring that sunblock in with you? I did. Okay, I just wanted to make sure, because I'm looking in front of you. You have two different kinds of cold brew and a can of aerosol sunscreen. That's about my life. You haven't opened your eyes since

taking your first sip of cold brew. It seems like you're literally blacking out right now from cold brew. I've had a shitty month. I've had a sinus infection for a month. I've been low energy. I've had a sinus infection for a month, so I've been low energy, but I'm like

I've got my two cold brews and I'm on this show, which is always so much fun, so I think I'm going to be able to get it together. Okay. The Daily Zeitgeist as medicine. That's what we're here for, man. To heal you. Good, because I got some Kirkland cold brew.

I don't know if you're allowed to say Kirkland, right? Yes. It's not a curse word so um it's a city so uh you know i saw on uh on some of the social media uh that exists i saw a picture of you with a bunch of uh some of it a bunch of a bunch of cases of kirkland cold brew because you're afraid they're going to discontinue yes a listener said hey i heard from from my local Costco that they might be discontinuing it. And this is one of the few consistent cold brews that performs for me. I'm 100% behind that. Yeah, you hoard. You have to hoard. If they stop making

cold brew, that's the equivalent. That'd be like they discontinued my personality. So I'd have to go out. Get a new one? I'd have to go get all of it. You're just all about ranch dressing next. Man, I'd be the most boring man in the bunker. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? If it's the end of the world and there's no more cold brew?

Oh, yeah. Crofton was fun until he ran out of cold brew. Or you'd have to take up meth, maybe. What? You'd have to take up meth, I think. Yeah. Now all he does is talk about his sinus infection. He's making shake and bake meth in his old Gatorade bottle over there.

Yeah, I forgot about meth, Jack. At the end of the world, they probably have some meth. Yeah. You never know. You can make meth out of anything. When the apocalypse comes, the weirdest things are going to have value. Right. I'm hoping just, you know, like socks become the new fucking gold. Family members. It's going to be bullshit.

Nah, people are going to be like, nah, that's another mouth to feed. Hair on? You think straight to the hair on? Yeah. That's not true. We'll see. I mean, look, just start buying socks, y'all. Chris, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we are going to tell our listeners a few of the things we'll talk about. If we have time, of course, getting to know you is always a lot of fun.

Journey. Okay. It can take up a little bit of time. But if we have time, we're going to talk about Taylor Swift fans finding out about Tool. That there's a band named Tool, apparently, and they just knocked Taylor off the top of the charts and they're confused. We're going to talk about the internet being mean and how sometimes that's a good thing. Some news from the end of last week that might suggest that. We're going to ask the question, is Donald Trump not good at being president? We're going to talk about Mac Miller's dealer getting arrested and the whole fentanyl problem that we're dealing with in these United States.

The Sopranos Festival. Oh, please. SopranoCon. Take me away. Yeah. problem that we're dealing with in these united states the sopranos festival oh soprano con take me away yeah all that and plenty more facebook's got a dating app but first chris we like to ask our guests what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are well i i thought about this because uh um well i'm going to tell the listeners and you guys about one of the most important things to me in the world. And I've thought about it because I like it to be a secret. I like it to be my secret documentary that I only know about. And I know that I'm not the only one who knows about it.

But I know that if everybody knew about it, it would cause, you know, people would really go crazy. Right. There'd be crime. Rioting in the streets. There'd be like shirts and stuff, I think, about this documentary. But the documentary is called Devil at Your Heels. Okay. It's called Devil at Your Heels, and it's on YouTube.

Okay. And it has like, I don't know. Like all the great documentaries. It has like 100,000 views or something like that. But it should have a billion views. What is it? It is. Okay. It's not a billion views what is it it is okay so it's not about big feet is it it's not about big okay it's about a guy named ken carter

and ken carter was known as the mad canadian and he was a stuntman um and he started out as a ramp boy uh in in when he was a kid he dropped out of school to be a ramp boy which is i mean talk about me being born at the wrong time i get my right school to be a ramp boy, which is, I mean, talk about me being born at the wrong time. I get my right arm to be a ramp boy. It's just an extinct job. There's no job ramp boy. What's a ramp boy? Just a guy who setups ramps, like a dropout.

Like a ramp, like a ramp roadie? Sets up jump ramps. For Evel Knievel? Yes. That's gotta be a hard job to get. Why can't you be a ramp man? Like, fuck that. Because there's just not as many ramps.

It's like being a ball man. It's not the same. You're not a ball man. You're a ball boy.s. It's like being a ball man. It's not the same. You're not a ball man. You're a ball boy. Yeah, well, no, ball man is a designer. But I think ramp boy, for how important a ramp is to someone's performance, you would want to treat them with respect because they could be, oh, I'm a ramp boy.

Right. They're treating them with all the pins they're missing. Let me put it this way. In 1976 in Canada, you could say, like, I'm dropping out of school, and your teacher was like, what do you got set up? You're probably going to be on the street. And he's like, no, I got a job set up as a ramp boy. And they're like, oh, all right.

Oh, shit. Oh, sorry. Sorry. That's not something you can say. And it probably came with a pension too. Yeah. So he is. All right.

So I was watching like a Buzzfeed or a Mashable or I don't know what it was. Some kind of thing where they do top 10 lists, you know, like top 10 car jumps. Yes. And there was a clip of a Lincoln Continental, a yellow Lincoln Continental. Very heavy car. Trying to jump over. What he does is he tries to jump over the St. Lawrence Seaway, which is a mile wide. In a yellow Lincoln Continental with wings on it.

And he had, in the documentary, he had a serious team. He had the best engine builders. He had a guy on that camera that's like an engineer saying that once he was in the air, he was going to be able to fly the car with the wings. Oh, no.

Like rocket boosters or something? A real physicist was like, yes, I've designed this, so he should be able to steer it in the air. And there's no plan for the landing, really, except he plans he's going to land in a bunch of roses. And then they say, well, what about these trees? Are you worried about the trees? And he said, no, we'll be careful not to knock down the trees.

And they weren't saying, you know what I mean? He took it wrong. They were like, aren't you worried about the trees? You're going to kill yourself. He's like, oh, no, we'll be very careful with the trees. Oh, we'll make sure to not steer into those ken carter is one of the most inspiring not that smart people right in the world and he he will make you so because he's so confident and he's really he doesn't have a whole lot of charisma he breaks his legs over and over again

he's constantly on crutches he says stuff like i'm standing on the threshold of life when he's when he's not when he's like 48 and he also in that sense okay he said i grew up in this poor area but i grew up and i'm a i'm a i'm a what does he say a beautiful physical specimen something like that but he's not at all he's like he's limping and it's a very inspiring documentary my favorite part, I don't want to give it away, because there's a twist ending. He dies? No, he died later.

He died in a rocket car accident that you can find on... That's the next video YouTube serves you. Now watch this dude die in a rocket car accident. You can watch that on YouTube, too. Okay, so twist ending. We won't spoil it. So the twist ending I won't spoil, but I will say that

the jump does not go well. No shit. At all. Like not at all. Oh my God. And so when I first showed it to my brother, this is my favorite thing

because it's like, okay, so they build this hundred foot ramp and like a mile long runway. I mean, he had funding. Right. He was going to be on Wide World of Sports.

Evil Knievel's in the documentary. He comes and checks out the jump and says that he... Like, yeah, looking good. had funding. He was going to be on Wide World of Sports. Evil Knievel's in the documentary. He comes and checks out the jump and says that he... He says that, well, he says he knows it's going to be on Wide World of Sports, so he can't trash the jump totally because they end up not televising it. But he thinks it might be televised,

so he's actually like, this is a terrible idea, but he has to be like, but if it does happen, it'll be the greatest daredevil jump in history but he he tells ken that there's no margin of he said you got no room for error right but it's like there's nothing but he has plenty of room for error like the whole area off the ramp everything past the ramp is room for error right so my brother watches what happens which i don't have, it doesn't ruin it to say.

The car shreds. I mean, the car goes off the ramp and it shreds. I mean, because it's going, it's a rocket car. It's going like 300, 400 miles an hour and it's flexing. They've done nothing to modify the car to make it better at this. They just strapped a rocket to a Lincoln Donato. No, that's the thing that's actually really interesting about it is the whole documentary, they have interviews with competent or seemingly competent engineers who are saying that this is going to go well. But the whole time you're like, how could it go well?

And the body of the car is made of fiberglass, which is the reason it shreds, which is I guess the reason they thought that would maybe fly or I don't know. But my brother watched it shred and he said he didn't have any context at the time so i was just like check out this car jump on mashable or whatever and he said uh what didn't happen that was supposed to happen which is the best question i've ever heard about. This looks like an accident. When you watch it, you're like, that is a fair question. Right. But I'm like, a whole lot of shit.

He was supposed to be able to drive that thing in the air. He was going to land it. Right. He was going to be careful not to break any of the trees. So why roll the sport? Anyway, Evel Knievel's in it. It's great. He's wearing a cream-colored outfit, and he comes out of a cream-colored Cadillac and tells evil, evil Knievel's in it. It's great. He's wearing a cream colored outfit and he comes out of a cream colored

Cadillac and tells evil Knievel and tells yes. And tells Ken Carter, you know, Ken Carter looks up to evil, right? And evil's like, you're a crazy mother. And evil like,

yeah, he still likes it. I think he hits, he hits, um, he has a rolled up like, like brochure or something in his hand. Probably it was 1978.

There are brochures everywhere. Yeah. He hits, he, he like, he hit Ken Carter. He's like, I'll tell you what buddy and like you could tell that was the best moment of ken carter's life when he was hitting him with that piece of paper because he was like listen buddy you better be careful you better be careful there's no room for error right and he was like well it's been raining it's been raining because that's what ken carter was

like we're gonna do it though we gotta do it but though. We got to do it. But it's been raining. That's the thing, Evil. It's been raining. It's been so much rain. He's like, yeah, well, you're not ready. So Ken Carter's just like, we're still going to do it. Ken Carter ends up dying years later. The end of the documentary is not Ken Carter dying. It's a much more interesting ending. And anyway, this guy is one of my favorite people, Ken Carter. He drives a dragster's a, he, he tries to, he tries to drives a dragster and he can't get the dragster cause he's too

fat. He, he go, he tests, he's trying to pull G's, you know, getting ready for the jump. He,

he goes up in a, in a biplane to do tricks or something that he throws up and he's real embarrassed about it. Um, like it's a, I don't tell him I puked man. He has a press conference. Don't tell evil.

He has a press conference in like a Ramada Inn announcing that the jump's delayed. That is one of the greatest pieces of footage ever shot. I mean, it's 1978 in Canada. I mean, there's just, you can barely see him. There's so much smoke in that room. You can barely see Ken Carter announcing that the jump is delayed because everyone in there is smoking. Yeah. Everyone's drunk for some reason at this thing the camera's like a buffet it's like

a buffet for the ken carter jump delay announcement speaking of the the uh ramp boy being inadequate to the job the jump that ended up killing him had to be delayed when he first attempted it because the start off ramp collapsed under his car when he drove up on it. Yeah, you can see it. It's on there. You can go on there and see it. And there's a whole bunch of people who have found the car,

and he's got a little cult of people. But I just got to say, if you want a midnight movie, a movie for you guys to watch when – A midnight movie. You know what I mean? A movie for you guys to watch when you're stoned. If I was in high school, I mean college, I would just watch this movie every night i would have never left the i would

switch to college so you weren't encouraging high school students to smoke pot and watch youtube i know in high school i was studying and then as soon as i hit college i watched documentary stone but um my friends watched the a team every day and they put on a red light and called it condition red they were all stoned they all wow how are they doing not well chris what is something you think is overrated um overrated i would say uh videos on youtube of people cold starting automobiles okay uh this is another youtube thing i'm into is is like people go find old cars and they try and like they go to junkyards and drop batteries into old cars and try and drive them

out of there. And I got to say that, anyway, I just think they're not, they're not worth it. They're too long. And then most of the time it's like, the car requires a lot of work.

Yes. My dream was when I started watching these, that they would be able to just drop a battery into a DeSoto and just drive it tree roots and all just straight out onto the highway. Yeah. It's sort of the like Frankenstein, like child's idea of Frankenstein. Just put a brain in a dead body and it'll start, like hook the tubes up to it and it'll work. There's six parts and you got to like watch them do the points.

They got to read whatever, adjust the points and find out what's wrong with the gaps and the points. And who cares? I just want to see him find the, find an old gangster car. Right. Like from real gangsters, like a model T that still has Tommy guns in the, in the trunk.

Yeah. And then they just roar out onto the highway after they drop a battery in that thing and just start shooting. Yeah. But that never happens. I think you can still find the model T that Bonnie and Clyde got shot up in. I think it's in a museum somewhere. I think it's in somebody's yard, actually.

But it used to be in a museum. You know, there's a thing about that, is that everybody bought a damn DeSoto and shot it up. So there's like 50. Oh, a lot of. There's like 50. Oh, really? Subposed Bonnie and Clyde cars. Bonnie and Clyde death cars. Yeah. Right. Everybody's like 50. Oh, a lot of. There's like 50. Oh, really? Supposed Bonnie and Clyde cars.

Bonnie and Clyde death cars. Yeah. Right. Everybody's got one. What a fun scam. I'm going to have one if I get my hands on a little bit of money. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated, I would say, well, I'll just say underrated popsicles.

What are they called? I just looked them up. The fruit bars at Trader Joe's. The fruit popsicle. Yeah, fruit bars. Fruit bars, the three layer. It's the bottom layer is like strawberry, middle layer is lemonade, which is just straight up sugar.

Right. And I mean the lemonade. I mean, lemonade is not a fruit. And then the top fruit is raspberry. Oh, so it's supposed to look like a firecracker almost, like with red, white, and blue? No, no. It's like red, yellow, and different kind of red. I am having trouble with my eyesight.

Yeah, I was eating a lot of popsicles over the weekend. I love it. It's all about it. All I do now, I stopped eating ice cream. I've lost weight because I stopped eating ice cream. You look great, by the way. Thank you. I stopped eating ice cream and M&Ms, and I've switched to popsicles.

Great. Great diet tip. And they give you the same rush. Same rush. But they don't make you as fat. All right. And I swear to God, though, don't eat, do not eat one of these before bed because you will not sleep.

Oh, really? They're so- What are you? So full of sugar. So sensitive to it? No, no. There's so much sugar. Don't have one before bed now.

There's so much. I'm old. I'm old. I'm old. But have you gotten more sensitive to sugar as you got older i don't know if you noticed i'm in my late 30s no you're not i thought you're 22 you said why'd you have me buy you that alcohol that one time you didn't have an id because i had no money um so so yeah so these things are great and then they really they do if you want to simulate, there's so much sugar in them that I feel exhilarated and younger.

Like when I eat one, I seriously, I'm like, why does everything, all of a sudden I'm like, life is fine. Right. Like, I'm like, I feel like, I feel like I'm in a brisk breeze. Yeah. And I'm, and I've done a lot of exercise and it's just, I was like, why? And then I looked at the package and looked how much sugar's in them. And I was like, oh, this is why I feel exhilarated.

We were talking about that last week, that sugar is a pretty good drug. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, if you like sugar and you like- Like the fruit lemonade. And you want to lose weight-ish. Right. You know, if you want to-

Use it to replace another sugar product. Yeah. So it's called Trader Joe's Fruit Bars. And they're like three bucks. But seriously, don't eat them when you- Not bed though yeah morning or if yeah and you'll probably first thing in the morning like you probably crash about 45 minutes later you might be in a lousy mood but that's where you'll be in a good mood yeah but you'll be in a good mood for 45 minutes you're gonna feel like a mountain climber uh what is a myth what some of the people think is true

uh myth is that you think that you probably I had such a hard time coming up with these. You, these are absurd. You probably think, I'm looking at Anna. Anna, you probably think that you can't watch The Curse of Oak Island if you don't have cable. She's been saying that all week, actually. All I watch is people do archaeology type stuff on YouTube. If you don't have cable. She's been saying that all week, actually. All I watch is people do archaeology type stuff on YouTube. But we know.

Right. So Curse of Oak Island, do you know that show on the History Channel? Nope. You don't know that show? No. Oh, I should have done that as my big one then. Oh, man. Go on.

Go watch Devil at Your Heels anyway. But God, we should have talked about Curse of Oak Island. Oak Island is this island off the coast of Nova Scotia. And in the late 1700s, some kids were out there playing and they found an area where it looked like it had been dug up. And they dug down and they dug and they found a stone with a bunch of markings on it. And they found like a bunch of platforms, like every 20 feet, there was a platform of like a coconut fiber and that wasn't native to the area. And then they realized that they think there were drains that had been created on the beach that was, so if you got down to a certain level of digging, it would fill the water,

fill the pit with water, ocean water. So anyway, these guys, these who had heard, I'd heard about that story when I was, since I was in grade school about this Oak Island and they, people kept digging down, but the water would come in, come in and destroy the shaft. Oh, so it was, the design was in order to flood any hole that somebody tried to dig. It was booby trapped. So they're guarding something. Yeah.

So it was like pretty elaborate. So I've read about it. People have been trying to find it ever since the early 1800s. And the people have died. Lots of people have died because the shafts keep collapsing. They build these 100-foot deep shafts. And some guys died from fumes, from using a pump down there. Like six people died at once, I think, or four people died at once.

Like a father and his son. Some father dragged his son into this treasure hunting business. We're going to go find this. And they both died from pump fumes. a father and his son. Sure. Some father dragged his son into this treasure hunting business. Yeah. You know, like, we're going to go find this. And they both die. Yeah, they both die from a pump, from pump fumes.

Yeah. I've seen it a hundred times. Yeah. That's a good answer. I should have known you were going to do this to me, dad, with your nickname Pump Fumes. Right. So.

Old Pump Fumes. Yeah. James Pump Fumes. So anyway, these guys, Rick and Marty Lagina, have a show on the History Channel. Mm-hmm. And they're two brothers that are trying to find the

damn, except they have big money behind them. And they've got drills and cranes and but they still haven't found much. So we can see this on cable? It's a great show. Or off cable. I love it. It's so funny. It's great because Rick Lagina

is the dreamer and Marty Lag lagina his brother realist he's rick lagina is like the sex symbol dreamer he is clearly a sex symbol like i have a crush on rick lagina it's like running neck and neck with nicola white mudlark right and for people for treasure hunters i want to fuck yeah so so anyway this show is great so i've been but here's even the better part of it is that i i don't have cable so i have to watch on i have to go on youtube and watch but no that's even better they scramble the episodes like so the algorithm can't like yeah no it's being copywritten so it's like a nonsense version of the episode which i still watch i've watched like every episode of the show on youtube where they've chopped the edit.

So like the algorithm can't recognize it because the algorithm will be like, oh, I think this is a bootleg. Yeah. They're like, the algorithm will be like, this looks a lot like a bootleg of our show that we should take off YouTube. But it's also gibberish. Right, right. So it's like they cut the video doesn't match audio, and you have to watch it like that.

And this is a pleasurable experience. And I like that show so much. You're like, I'll figure it out. That I fucking watch it on that scramble. A lot of times you'll see them do stuff like only show you like 70% of the image. Right. And then like speed up the audio by like three or whatever. I couldn't take that.

Yeah. I couldn't handle that. When the sound's different, it fucks me up. No, this is what I like. This one. The images are all wrong, but the audio's right. So anyway, if you guys want to catch... And by the way, Curse of Oak Island, I think, is heating up.

I think they're going to find something. But there have been six seasons. Treasure hunting is so much fun to watch. This is a tribute to me and making sense of my lifestyle. Is that they've had six seasons or seven seasons. They haven't found a damn thing.

Yeah. Like a piece of wood that they think might've come from a ship. I would say your appetite for watching people pull just junk out of mud is higher than many, a listener. It's possible. But yeah. But he converts a lot of people. Yeah.

I'm not saying- Mudlarking is, you know, for new listeners. Check out Mudlarking. Check out Mudlarking. Mudlarking is like the Thames River. I've talked about this. Yeah, scraping, man. Just digging up, seeing what's up.

Previous episodes. You just... London is a 2,000-year-old city. They've been throwing stuff in the river for 2,000 years. And you go down there in the low tide because the Thames is connected to the ocean yeah and you and you go down there and just dig through the mud and you find everything from Roman helmets to um lighters yeah to uh cell phones from yesterday all right we're gonna take a quick break we're gonna be right back Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist

who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia.

I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game.

Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?

And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.

because the talent is getting better. Listen to the making of a rivalry, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And so is Tool. Tool is back, Miles.

After 13 years, bro. Finally, something I can talk about on this show. Fuck yeah, man. Man from the 90s. Fear Inoculum has come out. And it's just really funny because the week before Taylor Swift's album, Lover, had come out. And it was number one. Broke a lot of records, naturally.

album lover had come out um and it was you know number one broke a lot of records naturally but uh the taylor swift fans were not did not actually understand the power of tool and being off for 13 years and a new album coming out because when the when the new album came out all the tool fans were ready to just buy stream whatever and naturally it overtook tay Swift on the charts. Taylor Tool was back on the charts, baby. And the fucking confusion from Taylor Swift fans was so hilarious. That's funny. It was like a mixture of anger and confusion from Taylor Swift Twitter where people are like, keep streaming. I'm just going to read a few tweets from Taylor Swift Twitter.

It says, keep streaming, guys. This band Tool is dropping a new album after 13 years. L-M-F-A-O 13. It's okay, but we still have a chance. Stream lover. Hurry, hurry. We have to work.

This is the thing. This is a trend that I've noticed with young people like stands of, I feel like I've seen it with Taylor Swift fans, with like Nicki Minaj fans, with Beyonce,

where they do it like they're voting for something. They will consume media. They did it with the Avengers. They were like, guys, we got to get Avengers back across a billion. Well, it's like this whole chart dominance thing is how they validate their existence. Because if it's not number one, then what the fuck are we doing? Such a bummer.

It's true. It's just that whole mentality. No, I know know like you see especially when like k-pop stuff pops off and they're like no we gotta get this trending it's a lot well no stands are uh are like uh they're they're um like i don't know they're very angry yeah like yeah they make it like uh the the artist's success which has nothing to do with them really in terms of it's like a major goal for them. Yeah. There's the,

the comments, like apparently they were really big in the nineties. And then someone did a screenshot of the track listing. They go, OMG, the length of each song made me shook. Cause it's like 10 minutes, 11 minutes.

Um, and then so, but you know, uh, another one said their last album was released over 10 years ago. So this new one apparently has more pre-orders on iTunes than Lover. Let's just wait and hope. Right.

It's a very strange, some sort of end of the world kind of scenario where people give a shit about whether rich artists are making enough money or whatever. Right. Yeah. If they only knew that sacred geometry was guiding their hand while writing Lateralis, they would think different. Do you like Tool, Miles? Yeah, I like Tool.

I listen to all those Tool references. I used to like Tool OK until they got a little. I think it's funny. Their song titles are real funny because they always have like, I mean, they just sound like, I guess, Latin mainly. Like they've been translated to Latin. Yeah, they always have like, it's like, what's inoculum? I mean, what is that? It inoculum? What is that?

It's all about the truth, dude. Some of the first languages. But there's funny... One person put grandpas are angry because other people in the comments were like saying like, I can't believe this old crap. And then some Tool fan goes,

no, we just have good taste in music. Given you both are Taylor Swift fans, I guess you're used to manufactured dog shit and wouldn't know what good music is even in the face. Not even regular dog shit. Yeah, manufactured dog shit. wouldn't know what good music is yeah not even not even regular dog shit yeah manufactured dog shit that's a deep insult yeah right exactly it comes from a factory downtown although i guess manufactured dog shit back in the 90s we listen to regular dog shit right back in the 90s we listen to real dog or is it worse because you're like intentionally trying to

recreate excrement right like it's worse and that's like there's manufactured dog shit or is it worse because you're like intentionally trying to recreate excrement right like it's worse and that's like there's manufactured dog shit that you hide the key under but that's joke dog shit okay we call that joke dog that's called gag dog shit okay my bad and my manufacturer i gotta give jack credit for bringing up that that there's yeah the hide a key yeah so you don't hear a hide a key reference every day. They still make hide a key. People don't talk about hide a key dog shit. Hide a keys used to be a major part of culture. Oh yeah. They're like,

I remember one time I was house sitting and someone had a hide a key in a rock and I was so high when I showed up, I could not find the fucking rock to the point where a neighbor came out and they're like, do you know them? Cause to them it was like some Brown kid rummaging through rocks with eyes redder than the fucking Japanese sun. You just took your hands and knees just picking up rocks. Yeah, just like looking underneath.

And I was like, no, I know them. You can call them. I'm just looking for the hide-a-key. I'm looking for a hide-a-pretzel. There's a pretzel in here somewhere. Anyway, I love seeing generational fanfics. That is funny to see a fight between Tool fans and Taylor Swift fans. Yeah, I mean, that's just absurd.

There's probably very little overlap on that Venn diagram. It's like Benjamin Franklin fighting. You know what I mean? It's like you don't see, you couldn't really see. Ben Franklin versus Hillary's fans. Or like, what's that guy's name? Chuck Norris against Ben Franklin or something. Yeah, yeah.

I like that. Whoa. One thing I will say is the I was telling Jack do you remember the video for sober by tool it was like claymation yes that shit haunted me as a kid but I loved it but I was always like but yes wow I was old enough that I was just like who cares but yeah thanks but no no I know what you mean like for me it was just like I wish they'd stop playing they play that video all the time you ever been haunted by a music video I was saying mine are both Metallica videos one and the unforgiven

the one that's like clips from Johnny got your gun or some shit like that that's like a world war one movie where the guy has like the like plague mask covering his head oh yeah that was a pretty good one that video the guy has like the like plague mask covering his head and he's like oh yeah that was a pretty good one yeah that video is terrifying and then the unforgiven one where it's an old man who lives in like a sewer shaft and it's like and never sees the sun and then he

finally sees a beam of sunlight and it kills him i never even understood that i didn't know what there was any narrative i just thought it was just some guy wandering around like a sewer or something. Yeah. I think that's basically what it was. Maybe I added all of that. But I think he was a vampire and I think he's... I have an entire mythology built out around him. Based on the backstory for the old man in the Unforgiven video.

I was an alcoholic all through all those videos. So I think I just like... When you're an alcoholic, you're just like, that's stupid about everything. I guess it's on fucking TV. Yeah, you don't care about it. You're not haunted by anything. Except your own darkness. Yeah, you're not haunted by...

Anything external. No, no, because you're too up your own ass. The haunting comes with it. You think it's cool. Everything's lame except for drinking. So you're like, yeah, that's a stupid video.

Let's get drunk. And then especially if you're drunk watching a video called Sober, you're like, that's a stupid video. Let's get drunk. Especially if you're drunk watching a video called Sober. You're like, that's a fucking super shit. Oh, Sober, what are they? Oh, they're two pussies, huh? They can't drink? Oh, they can't drink, huh? Ah, pussies.

Oh, why can't we not be sober? Yeah, why don't you be sober, you weakling? And then you're like, that's true, though. Why can't we drink forever? Yeah, why can't we? true though. Why can't we drink forever? Yeah. Why can't we reckon that I can, why can't you guys internet trolls? I want to talk about internet trolls. I'm sorry.

I was just thinking of Beavis and butthead with two drunks. Oh man. Screaming at music. What the fuck is this? Yeah. Stupid. Fucking dumb. Stupid.

Or somebody died at a war show. So let's talk about Howard Schultz. He has been bullied out of the race, apparently. Howard Schultz, the guy. Yeah, good riddance. Who's the Starbucks founding billionaire who said he was going to run as an independent if Bernie Sanders or some other leftist extremist ended up getting the Democratic nomination, he would run. On behalf of all billionaires.

Right. On behalf of, no, the majority. The majority of billionaires. He claims that America is still majority moderate centrist. And there's just all these extremists out here. They're a loud minority that is making it seem like we're all extremists. But really, we all agree with him that we should just let the markets handle everything and let the billionaires continue to make the rules.

I'm just so interested in like, what's so extreme about saying that people shouldn't be able to be like that someone being so poor that they die isn't offensive right like yeah yeah that's so but that's just so funny right people just use these words without actually pointing to like what is being advocated for it's only extreme if you're just um offensively wealthy so he announced that he decided against running in a blog post on his website written as a letter to friends. I love that website. He wrote as a letter to his friends. Friends.

And he explained his reason for dropping out was that extreme voices currently dominate the national dialogue, often with a vitriol that crowds out and discourages thoughtful discussions. Yeah. And he also claimed that he was representing the majority because he only hangs out with other billionaires.

Billionaires, they hang out with other billionaires and at best a couple millionaires here and there. My friend Connie nannied for him. Oh, really? For a while, and she said he was a nice guy. I'm sure. I'm sure he's very nice to other people. I think they have no idea.

They have no idea why anyone thinks there's anything like, they know maybe there might be something wrong, but they certainly don't understand why there's an emergency. They're like, why is everybody freaking out? What do you mean? When it's hot, I put the AC on. I just don't see it. I don't see it.

I honestly don't see that. I understand that we could improve things a little bit. I don't know anyone who's died because they couldn't afford to live. Right. And then there's the rest of the country that doesn't have enough money for a $400 emergency, which is that fact. Right. And that's just the difference. I mean, I understand.

When I hang out with rich people, man, it feels safe. It does. Nothing's wrong. Everything's solvable, purchasable. If you have enough money, you can make life seem like it doesn like nothing's wrong everything is solvable you can purchasable if you have enough money you can make life seem like it doesn't need any improving at all right and the other thing is here's the flip side that i just made me think of the uh tell the centrists uh i don't know who i'm saying this no but tell them but somebody go someone go tell the i actually have a meeting with them later okay good we'll tell them this

that the people got shot in that that fucking idiot who drove around shooting everybody just the other day in the mail truck and everything. Last week, yeah. The baby that got shot in the face has a GoFundMe to take care of its medical bills. Yeah. Right. And another person who got shot in it has two of the people who at least two of the people who got shot have go fund me's to pay their medical bills right i mean that's just all yeah

it's all like basically poor people taking care of each other madness well at the top they're like well i don't i mean those go fund me's are happening yeah so oh you can pay for it if that doesn't make a person not want to have a reason debate or whatever centrist think they want to have like oh let's have a reason debate are you kidding centrists think they want to have. Like, oh, let's have a reasoned debate. Are you kidding me? But they're going to say... I can't take care of my... They'll be like, oh, well, that's something

that has to do with healthcare reform and not really sort of reflecting the larger issue here in the country. You know what I mean? There's always some weird pivot off that dumb shit. Sure, they'll say... I don't know what they'll say. Well, you know, good riddance of Mr. Schultz.

Yeah. He got the feedback he deserved. Right. He should give everybody a free latte. He'd probably be in the race. We talked about this last year, but it happened again that they released the poll where they ask expats who live in other countries how they rate the country they're living in based on just all the things that would make you want to live in a place. based on just all the things that would make you want to live in a place in America, has gone from the teens during the Obama administration down to the 40s out of 60 countries.

Oh, wow. Based on- What's number one? Healthcare costs and I don't know. Just general rage and- Yeah. And the instability of the political politics in the country make it a scary place to live. Who would have thought?

Wait, what's the thing? The United States is poorly rated as far as places to live? Yes. Who would have thought? We spent all that money terrorizing people in other countries for them to move here to only think it sucks. Right. Ugh. Yeah. Yeah. terrorizing people in other countries for them to move here to only think it sucks right ah yeah yeah that's my mom always like but why does my mom's you know been hypnotized by fox news and

so if you say anything like that to her she's like well then why does everybody want to come here right that's what everybody always says that all the resources people who are living in a really bad situation and really close by countries want to come here. Yeah, that's the thing. It's just like the constant, it's not everybody doesn't want to come here. Right. And it's getting less and less attractive. If your house is like firebombing the other houses in your neighborhood, you're throwing

firebombs from your house. Like, why are people, why do they think it's safe here? Right. Because you're doing all the damage from here. Right. So if at least you live there. Because you drilled an oil well in my house and i had to leave and come somewhere else economically like the economy has been the one kind of bright spot of the trump administration

in terms of what the mainstream narrative is uh and just people's expectations, how he's going to run for president again. And now the manufacturing sector has slowed down for the first time in three years, which is leading more economists to start thinking that a recession is going to be hitting within the next two years. Yeah, and he didn't even have that. So it's just really odd because have that. So it's like, it's just really odd because from the beginning, he's like, well, the economy,

the economy, the economy. And now that that's dwindling, it's like, okay, what are you doing? Because everything, all of your actions are only exacerbating this problem. Like just hitting the fucking pedal to the metal to go head on into the fucking trade wars with China.

Everyone's like, that is not going, having these two economies fistfight in the street, but like makes everyone a loser. And they're also saying like, you know, he looks, you look at the farmers, they're all pissed. I think there was an association of farmers in like Iowa or Nebraska who were

basically saying like virtually all of our markets have evaporated because of all of this, all of these terrible economic policy. And when it comes to people like who used to be in the room you know like obviously we used to talk about the quote adults in the room remember like a year and a half ago and we're like well there are at least there's these people who then leave and then don't want to raise their voices and actually tell the truth they're like well you know what happened to that new york times guy or woman who's going to save everybody? Remember the anonymous editorial?

Whatever the fuck that was. From like Mr. or Mrs. X. You guys have no idea how much shit we're stopping from happening. Oh, is that right? Yeah. That's what that. Okay. Yeah.

What that thing said. No, of course. By taking papers off his desk rather than just using what you've seen to get him out of it. The New York Times doesn't talk much about that person no more. What's funny is that when they talk to former White House officials, who obviously are, they love anonymity, they say, frankly, I don't, when they talk about his economic policies, they say, frankly, I don't think he understands any of this. The manufacturing slowdown, the lack of corporate investment, what's happening to confidence, all of this was

totally predictable based on what he's done, but he sees it as a political advantage that he can tell people he got tough on China and needs to finish the job. And they said, they go on to say, quote, the sad reality is that in the first thousand days of his presidency, he managed to get rid of everybody who would tell him the truth or anything he didn't want to hear. We saw that sort of coming. So now we're at this point where only people are like, yeah, maybe that could work if you just keep, you know, fucking swinging on china and seeing what happens because you know they will

hit back yeah everything is wildly dysfunctional like even in how the different people who work for him deal with each other like john bolton i mean this is a good thing uh that this has happened but john bolton's been completely frozen out from the decision-making chain because Trump doesn't want to go to war, which thank God. And Bolton almost took him to war and all the Iran shit that happened earlier this year. And so Trump basically took away some of his power. And also the other thing is Bolton and his staff, basically, if they don't get what they want, they just leak to the media. Mature, mature. basically if they don't get what they want they just leak to the media uh mature mature right so they don't get any information anymore and when they ask for it people will force them to read it in front of them won't give them the document we'll just be like here's the document but you

have to read it while i'm watching you right it's like when you're in school and someone brings a cool toy you're like oh can i play with it like look with your eyes right exactly you cannot touch this yes um because you have dirty ass hands and you'll fuck up my transformer i mean i think i do wonder if the sharpie thing is going to be just in terms of his public approval because it's such a i was about to mention that the It's so undeniable that he, like it underlines all the things that even if you're a supporter of him, you suspect might be getting in the way of him doing a good job. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. Anyone, anyone ever said that a president would do that and that there would be a mind controlled bunch of idiots on the right that would let that slide when they wouldn't let Obama's tan suit slide. Right. I mean, the man held up.

Right. He doctored a weather map, but not even doctored. Extended a circle. He couldn't have someone. Also Photoshopped that. Yeah, he couldn't have someone. He doesn't have an office. He's the president of the United States.

Make this circle bigger without me having to. No. He doesn't care. And he kept last at the end of last week he kept doubling down on it like as hurricane dorian is you know was battering uh the carolinas he's having press conferences where he's like bringing up alabama again right yeah and asking for like hey will you tell them that I was right? Right. Oh God. Yeah,

he won't, that's a fuck your feelings thing. I don't understand at all because they're like feelings. Trump is the most feelings oriented man. Oh my gosh. He is so,

he's all about his feelings. That's all he cares about is how he feels. He'll do anything, everything he does is motivated by his feelings i just think it's ironic hashtag in my feelings challenge that whole side is like fuck your feelings or yeah facts or whatever incoherent facts unless they contradict what we want him doctoring that weather map is

the definition of a man who's motivated primarily by his feelings not just motivated but pathologically a slave to his feelings that he would ever and his ego. Yeah. The funny thing, too, is like, well, now are we seeing, you know, the economy, the economic forecasts aren't that great. You know, Xi Jinping, like he's probably laughing his ass off because he's like, guess what, dude?

I'm not looking at an election in November. Like you are like I'm forever God here. Yeah. So I can do whatever the fuck I can wait you out to the next person comes in and I'll deal with them. So like, what are you trying to do? What's funny, though, is because of this now, certain states are helping Trump out by canceling their primaries and caucuses. So no one can challenge almighty leader Emperor Trump. So South Carolina, Nevada, Arizona and the Kansas Republican parties are all preparing to basically just

cut off their primary or caucus processes just to be like, you know what, dude, we don't need anyone to challenge him. We're fully like just giving all of this power to Trump. He's completely poisoned this entire party and, you know, fuck democracy. Yeah. It's like canceling the, when there's a bad movie and um and they and they won't let the critics see it before it comes out right like that that's the the mentality like if we don't somehow we can say anything until they all realize it'll trick people into thinking he's

popular we can't let the cat out of the bag like you know it's like oh if we have a primary then someone might the numbers might not look good for him right and then we just won't have a primary and then everybody will think he's like he probably wouldn't lose but he it might be a historically like fraught primary you know yeah like people there's a surprising amount of support for a challenger uh yeah they don't want that yeah they don't want that to be and also, they don't want that to be. And also, if there is a real actual primary challenge, that typically weakens the incumbent going into the actual election if they get through a primary challenge. So they want to make sure they have to handle him with kid gloves. I think since he's gotten into the Sharpie business, though, that he should double down.

He's pretty good about doubling down, too. Just like, just start doing it to everything. Just holding up like, yeah, I didn't lose that primary. Because I turned the six into an eight. Right. And nobody, I mean. Turned the O2 into the O3. He's just going to win by Sharpie.

All right. We're going to take another quick break. We'll be right back.

People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them.

Why is that? Just come here and play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious.

She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to the making of a rivalry, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. And one kind of dark news bulletin from the end of last week is that Mac Miller's dealer was arrested. The person who dealt him the drugs that ended up killing him. And specifically the thing that they focused on was that the drug that killed him was laced with cheap and potent fentanyl, which is a synthetic opioid that is 50 times as powerful as heroin. And it's also what killed Prince. It's killing a lot of people right now. And fentanyl overdoses are actually on the rise in America still. I think they think Tom Petty, too.

Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. Damn. So there's a huge industry in China that's outsourcing this. There's actually a new book out called Fentanyl Inc. by Ben Westhoff. He was interviewed on Fresh Air this week. And it looks at the industry and how, like, China is, basically, China has problems with certain drugs, but fentanyl is not one of them.

So they're just still going full bore, manufacturing it. And people can get it on the dark web. People can get it just through shipments, through the means that drug dealers normally get things into the country. But he's pointing out that the Trump administration is trying to negotiate with Xi to try and get it so that they stop shipping the drug in, but they're still attacking it on the supply side. They're not doing anything to make people less likely to die from it. And Westhoff was pointing out that there are things like testing kits that people give out at festivals and raves that detect fentanyl,

like festivals and raves that detect fentanyl. And they found that this actively prevents people from taking drugs that kill them. Yeah, it's horrible. Yeah, and it seems like a pretty kind of straightforward solution. And the U.S. just won't support it because instead of treating drug users like criminals, it treats them as something that exists. And he was pointing out that killing Pablo Escobar and arresting El Chapo have done nothing to even make a dent in the flow of cocaine into America and up Americans' noses. People will keep using the drug it's just that that's never

worked for america the kind of trying to attack it from the supply side right so yeah man when i was into drugs i bet i bet you know if someone gave me a drug and even if i tested it and it said fentanyl i would be like well how much fentanyl i bet i could still take it right yeah exactly at a certain point when you don't give support to drug users or try and like tested it and it said fentanyl, I would be like, well, how much fentanyl is in there? Right. I bet I can still take it. Right. Yeah, exactly. At a certain point when you don't give support to drug users or try and like solve that issue, it's like, well, I just- This is the only pill I got. I got to take it.

Yeah. It's like, well, if there's no fentanyl, then they'll all be okay. Right. It's like, no. Nope. It's an addiction. Addiction is very serious and manifests in so many different ways. If it's not one thing, it'll be the other thing.

I'm so grateful that I never got into pills because it just hadn't really been invented when I was in the 80s. I mean, there were pills, but not like... I mean, people die all the time by accident now doing things that I used to do that were just not... You couldn't die that way because it's just a horrible thing.

Like there weren't just like this brush and roulette of certain pills in the mix that have a thing that will kill you. Yeah, because you're a kid, man. When you're a teenager, you do whatever. Yeah, exactly. Someone puts a pill in your hand, you're like, yeah, is everyone doing it? Yeah, we'll make me popular. Give me that thing. Right.

It's got fentanyl in it. How much? Let me see that. Fuck it. I'm just going to take it. What's fentanyl it what's fentanyl yeah exactly yeah it's like doesn't even matter it's like just give me the pill well speaking of kids these days facebook facebook dating is here my right dad you said it facebook is facebook is here book now nobody except old people a lot of people still are, I guess. I mean, Facebook dating, when I saw this, I was like, man, I was Facebook dating when

Facebook didn't have Facebook dating. Right. Because I was just shooting my shot from deep space on messages being like, hi, I know this person. I think you are attractive. I love you. By the way, P.S., my name is Miles. I still do that.

And it's like they're like um what college do you go to because back then you needed a college i email anyway i'm 50 so apparently this new so it's a little bit different you know you can integrate it with instagram etc but the biggest thing is for people who are 18 years and older you can create a profile a dating profile and you opt into this thing. And it's completely different than your Facebook profile. And it doesn't have to do with like swiping or anything like that. So what it'll do is it'll suggest possible mates based on preferences, interests, and other things you do on Facebook. So in a way it's already like analyzing all your shit through the Facebook

data. And it's like matchmaking like that in a way. They're like, look, we know a creepy amount about you guys. It's like, we both know you are like, like this weird message board of people picking their noses. So there's a bunch of shit that unfortunately we can predict about you. But one of those things happens to be who your soulmate is. So yeah, might as well let us help you with that. And it's like, so you don't have to like,

no one has to reach out first. Like if there's someone that shows up and you like them, you can comment directly on their profile or tap on the like button to let them know. And if you're interested, or like if you aren't interested, you can just pass. But what's interesting is that- This sounds good to me.

If you aren't, what it first will also do, it will never suggest someone that you are already friends with on your regular Facebook profile to avoid any awkward stuff. However, if you are feeling somebody who you're friends with, there's a secret crush function where you can add someone to your secret crush. And if they add you, it'll be like guess what? Secret crush confirmed. Turn Facebook into sex. How many secret crushes I had in college

on Facebook? Let me show you how they game this shit. Show me how you game this shit, daddy. Anyone would do this, right? The second this exists, you put all of your friends in there and see which ones have a secret crush on you.

Wait, you mean just for your own ego? Yeah, well, just to find out who has a crush on you. Well, then what do you do, Jack, when inevitably we match and it's like, uh-oh, secret crush. I'll just be like, oh, man. You're like, uh-oh, way to go, loser. Yeah, I guess it would be awkward, but that is one way that you could easily figure it out.

Just be like, oh, sorry, I put everybody in there by accident. But why do you want to figure that out? Who has a secret crush on you? What is this, sixth grade? I mean, in my mind, if you're dating, you'd almost be like, you know, I actually would really be interested in dating this person. Let's see what happens versus like, who got a secret crush on me? Oh, come on, though, man.

People will do it for the narcissistic. Secret crush means social media. That's such a narcissistic thing in the first place. Secret crush is a sex. That means sex. Right. Everybody wants a little announcement that someone wants to have sex with them. Right.

Oh, hell yeah. So does this have anything to do with uh what are they going to do with the poke function then i don't think they i think that's been gone for a while no no my dad my dad accidentally pokes and waves at people all the time oh really yeah someone will be like your dad just waved at me like i'm so sorry he doesn't know that he did it though right right right he's just clicking about he posts he posts pictures of himself upside down on instagram and his underwear and stuff he has no idea what's happening wait is the camera upside down or is he i don't know i don't know it's it's just i don't know he sends pictures

of himself like staring into devices you know what i mean like he's just like looking at it somehow it ends up on his instagram it's he has it's and he waves like my friend always is like your dad waved at me again i'm I'm like, stop. Stop telling me. Sorry. Well, the other interesting thing about this, too, is because it knows so much about you, it does help actually like connect people on your interest because you can opt into events or groups and see people with similar interests already. So you can be like, oh, shit, you like cold brew and indie music. If I could meet a woman who wanted to sit and watch people metal detect with me.

Oh, my God. That's what i'm saying look man or a man or a man yeah just somebody man just somebody sit with me and look and i don't care if it's all true or not you know what comes up on here i don't care if it's 100 true no one cares but yeah i think that's a you know god that would be amazing i would do some research i'm not even aspiring if i could my dreams aren't even that big like i i want to meet somebody i love but i'm not at all thinking that they would like to watch metal detecting well look now you can but imagine that world imagine that when i start putting that secret crush button on there secret crush got you like me and i want to mudlark i'll get married in

the mud are your great album name are your, like, do you think that having shared interests makes a relationship more likely to succeed? It depends. Yo, because I used to be the egomaniac who would just fuck myself. You know, like people who were just like me, who were like, okay, you fuck with weed. You watch Breaking Bad. You like hip hop or whatever. Like very superficial interest. I'm like, that's a person who's a match for me.

Right. Not like, are they generous, kind, fucking supportive? You like Cypress Hill? Yeah, right. When the shit goes down, you better be ready. Like, mm-hmm. I think that's a T-shirt. Do you also think Cypress Hill is fucked?

Do you like Cypress Hill? Fuck. Oh, also, shout out to my friend Nick, who sent an AKA that was too late about Kirsten Gillibrand to the tune of here is something you can't understand how I can vote Gillibrand. That's fucking funny. Wish that was still there.

But now, Her Majesty, we don't have the same things in common that I did with past relationships and it's by far the most healthy, beneficial relationship I've ever had. Yeah. I have, I don't have a ton of shared interests with my wife, but we get along really well. Yeah. I mean, she might even, you know, Her Majesty is not really particularly interested in me,

but it all works. Anna's deep laugh shook me to my core just now. But yeah, Facebook dating. But I think it is beneficial, right? Because a lot of the times I've met people like at a concert or something and like they have been interesting people. I have more in common

and like they might not have the same sort of upfront interests, but hey, you never know. I think the only things that I've liked on Facebook are like OutKast and The Walkman. Right. Those are the two things. Mine is probably Arsenal.

It's like two bands that I liked in 2003. It's like, if you like Arsenal, the Virginia Beach rap duo Clips, and fucking- Right, it's all old music that you were into 10 years ago. And Legion of Bloom, Pax Vapes. Right. Holler at me. Yeah. That doesn't- Yeah, it's funny because that's the way they put together college roommates. music that you're into 10 years ago. And Legion of Bloom packs vapes. Right. Holler at me. It's funny because that's the way they put together college roommates.

My freshman year roommate, we actually figured out because we did not get along and we finally did, but I mean, we figured out why they put us together and it was because we both put we like the cult. The band The Cult.

But the thing is, all the other bands I put were also like hard rock bands, but he liked almost all dance music, except he liked one cult song. He liked She's So Sanctuary, which is kind of like dancey. So we got put together from that, and we were, oh, he got up early for class and sat next to my bed and stuff, like sat in a chair just waiting for time to class to start. Like next to my bed, like just sitting in a chair. Like suspended animation? Yeah, just sitting in a chair. He'd get up early, get dressed, and then he'd be like, oh, shit, I have 20 minutes until my 9.30, and he would sit doing nothing because cell phones.

Just like power down? There was no such thing as cell phones. He just sat in a chair next to my bed which is somehow you can sense that shit and it woke me up and I would just be like look out of the corner oh god

I talk about this all the time he's like hey I drew Ian Asbury while you were sleeping I broke him down though but that's actually doing something and turned him into an alcoholic

I broke him down and turned him into an alcoholic nice oh wow and now he's governor attaboy I did that to a lot of people I was like

you sure you want to go to class you don't want to do a big fat line is he in recovery now I don't know I think i fucked up a lot of people and that's why i apologize i apologize to people from my previous life as a as a drug advocate yes i was seriously like you there's only one i mean i was full-on charles bakowski hypnotized yeah right just like do it drink if you don't a day without a buzz is a day that never was. Jesus Christ. Yeah, it was a nightmare. Now I'm like, hey, guess what?

I was wrong. Right. Turns out, man, I was way off. I was really wrong. Hey, guys. Check out cold brew and popsicles. At least the heartbreak and rehab and bankruptcy. Right.

I talk about this all the time, but my sister once sat on a flight to China from the United States next to somebody who didn't read a book, didn't watch anything, just looked at the chair in front of them wide awake the whole time. Yeah, that shit is frightening. What is that? I'm curious if that's someone who has the greatest imagination of all time, is some kind of a beautiful mind, or is an automaton who, as we think, is just powering down. I think just powering down based on having met the person.

I don't think my roommate Charlie had a beautiful mind. I mean, he was a regular dude. Wait, Charlie Kaufman? Yeah, you know him. You've heard of him? He was a decent guy, but I don't think he was thinking

about anything in that chair. Or maybe about something like I hate my dad or something. Right, over and over. Yeah. Like a low hum. Oh, I hate my dad. or something right over and over yeah like a low hum miles let's talk about the true father of toxic masculinity yes the sopranos yeah i mean if you really think about it like really the examples we were learning from those characters i never watched it uh it's one of the greatest tv shows

of all time come fight me i love the show yeah um i've heard that i've heard it's good what are you writing it what are you writing out oh when anna starts writing oh yeah to eat women out means you're gay that's right vita uh i mean junior did not want anyone to know that he was going down on his uh convalescent right or now that is that is hilarious and like meant to be hilarious as a characteristic, but I'm sure there are people who saw that and were like, that's true, though. Yo, did you see Tony this week?

That shit is hilarious, man. They can't get around. So, look, there is a fucking thing called Sopranos Con happening in New Jersey, in Secaucus, in November. And it is basically, the way they describe this is, in a nutshell, this is Sopranos meets Comic Con. But Sopranos Con is much more than vendors,

pictures, and autographs. That pitch doesn't get me right there because I'm like, okay, that's just like you could say the same thing about any TV show. But the thing about the Sopranos is you can get any of those people to appear. What do you mean? Like the cast is just loaded with people who have gone on to be former cast members of the Sopranos and very little else.

It's a who's a who of ancillary characters. That's interesting. The thing though, it's great because it's meant to be like a street festival themed. So the Feast of St. Elzear. Uh-huh. be like uh street festival themed so the feast of saint elzear uh-huh and you're gonna have there's gonna be food drink music comedy art galleries but aj soprano the people they got to go out there i mean if you actually like sopranos it's great because look it's not going to be any of the main characters okay don't expect ed falco to show up uh or michael Imperioli or Dre DiMatteo. But Dominic Chianese, Corrado Jr. Soprano, Tony Sirico, Pauly Walnuts, Federico Castelluccio, a.k.a. Furio Junta.

Okay, there's going to be Sal, Big Pussy will be there, Johnny Sack, Richie April, Charmaine Bucco. No Artie Bucco. Charmaine Bucco. Patsy Parisi, who also played his brother. And then even the FBI agent, Agent Harris, will be there. But the thing that basically nailed my ticket on is that Goldie, the horse that played Paiomai, will be making an appearance. Damn. So, look, if any of their Zeitgang members who lived out near the Meadowlands

and want to give me a place to stay in Secaucus, New Jersey, hit me up. Actually, not really. That sounds like it. Well, maybe not. Nah, you know what? Fuck it. I love people. I like people from Jersey. Nah, man. Jersey and the Valley, we have a great connection. There's plenty of great, just saying out by the Meadowlands.

What's out there? What is that? What's in the Meadowlands? A lot of bodies, man. Just a bunch of, say, a marsh. Hell yeah, man. I love it. My kind of place. And the Meadowlands, the arena. Yes.

You guys, you want to hear what's out there? And the place where the New York Nets used to play. Oh, boy. Man, let me know when there's a, you know, that sounds like a lot of fun. Those are the kind of things I never go to, like a con. Right. Do you like something enough, like a Mudlark con? That's the thing I was about to say.

Mudcon? If there was like a Curse of Oak Island, like if I got to meet Rick Lagina, that'd be pretty cool. Right. There's got to be a reality show con, right? Like that invites all the reality stars? They have some, yeah. But I'm sure it's mostly like... That's the kind of thing I make fun of or I think is dumb,

but I bet it's a blast. Yeah. I bet it's super fun. When I searched Curse of Oak Island Fan Festival, the first thing that came up, they have merch now. So I think it's going to take some time. Oh, yeah. They're still in the hunt. Yeah. They're still hunting. I guess so. They shouldn't probably be patting themselves on the back with festivals

until they buy something. No, when they have a festival, they better have a treasure chest and a plexiglass box for us to look at. What do you think's in there? Well, they think everything from the Holy Grail, probably. What do you mean everything from? I've always thought. I love how reckless this is. They think Shakespeare's original manuscripts.

Probably in Canada. And they... The fact that Chris is killing himself laughing before he can even say anything. It's just so funny because they have some evidence that the Knights Templar have been on that island. Okay. But it's pretty good evidence, but it's not that good. Right.

But they're pretty convinced-ish that the nice templar went there and may have hidden whatever nights the real hamurabi's code everything like they're just like hoping for i think they'd settle at this point for five hundred dollars in cash i mean they're looking for anything now yeah like a blockbuster member card damn to put in the return on investment but yeah they do have high hopes for it because they think the Knights Templar came to that island and hid their shit when they...

No, this sounds all very academically accurate. When they were persecuted. But they have found old Spanish coins from... They found coins from the 1600s there. That's about all. They found like two coins. They haven't found a whole lot about all. They found like two coins. I mean, they haven't found a whole lot of stuff.

They found one piece of wood that they think is from a ship. I like this pitch where they're going to like a wealthy person who's like philanthropic into archaeological digs. And it's like, I don't know, man. There's like all kinds of shit. There are two coins in there, man. Look, everything from the Ark of the Covenant to the tablets Moses brought down. It could all be in there, man. I don't know.

You give us $200,000, we'll give you the Holy Grail. Yeah, literally. So yeah, I really hope that they find, but they have not. It's a really interesting story. It'd be weird for them to booby trap and put all that trouble into hiding something that didn't exist. No, it is. And they found some stuff. The first troll.

I think the first six seasons, really, they found pretty much nothing. And then they started to find some interesting stuff. They found this slipway, which is the thing that the boat would roll up on, or the cargo from a boat would roll up onto the shore on, which they've carbon dated to like the 1600s or 1700s. So, I mean, they found some stuff that leads you to believe that there's something hidden there. Yeah. So they hooked you in with the six seasons where they found nothing.

And then season seven. I feel like they're going to find something. All right. And I found that the History Channel ordered double the episodes they normally do for the next season. So they know something. I think something. I actually started to think that there may be something there. But anyway, that's the-

The gateway from Stranger Things. They think that it's something to do with persecuted somebody or others coming over to Nova Scotia, burying something, and going back to Europe. I know we have Nova Scotia and Zeitgang, so let us know. What do the locals think? Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia. Oh my gosh. I didn't even realize it have Nova Scotia and Zeitgang, so let us know. What do the locals think? Nova Scotia! Nova Scotia! Oh my gosh, I didn't even realize it. Nova Scotia Con?

I didn't even realize it. Ken Carter. Ken Carter, the guy who was trying to jump the Lincoln Continental a mile. That was from Nova Scotia, yeah. It's from Morrisburg, Ontario, which is like right by Nova Scotia or something. Yeah.

Or as we call it, No-Sco-sh. No-Sco? In the beginning of that documentary, the beginning of the documentary, Devil at Your Heels, is him and another guy in a Nova Scotia junkyard getting a car ready for a jump. And Ken is saying that there's no

way this car will do a world record because the salt air has fucked it up. He's like, the salt air has gotten into this. There's no way it'll do a record, but you know, we'll have to do what we have. It's hard to get good cars out here in Nova Scotia. He said, as time goes by, people are holding onto their cars more and more. It sounds like something that would make a car not run. That's the kind of shit that I love.

He says though, he'll say stuff. Set a world record. One of the, like right in the beginning, he says so many. I can't even do it. The gas tank's half filled with salt water. Maybe it won't reach top speed. I just love it. He goes, it's hard to get good cars.

My favorite, he has so many little quotable quotes. He's like, it's harder to get cars now. People are holding on to them more than they used to. Yeah. Which I don't think is true. No, not at all. I just love it. I love it.

Chris, it's been a pleasure as always having you where can people find you? You can find me on Instagram Chris underscore Crofton where I put up red hot cold brew got me likes the world's hackest joke that I cannot

let go and then at the Crofton show on Twitter, where I, I've been writing poetry lately. I've been doing a lot of poetry, which is pretty fun. I'm writing these absurd poems and,

uh, and now I'm starting to take myself seriously. Like people are like, those are good. And now I'm like, Oh shit. I know I'm a poet. Well,

you're a successful musician, lyricist. Oh yeah. For sure. Of course. You forgot about that. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's right. I am a successful musician lyricist. Oh, yeah. Of course you're a good poet. Forgot about that. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's right.

I am a great musician. Go check out my record. I'm recording a new one right now. Nice. And go check out my record, Hello, It's Me, on Spotify. Yeah. Is that named after the Todd Rutherford song? I think I've asked you that before.

It is a reference to that. It's like a soft rock record, and I like that Rutherford song, and so I thought i love how shameless that song is where he's just he he's like sorry like i i don't think we should be together but i still think we should sleep together toxic masculinity all the way like the most 70s toxic masculinity where he's pulling off being emo about not wanting to yeah just wanting to fuck oh that isn't i feel the same way there's so many like that yeah like uh i'd really like to see you tonight by england dan and john ford coley like yeah there's a warm way i uh i'm not

talking about moving in and i don't want to change your life but there's a warm wind blowing the stars around and i'd really like to see you tonight. And it's like, I'd really like to fuck you tonight. And also... Yeah, but take it easy. Yeah, he's like, what else does he say? He said, stay in and watch TV. You know, it really doesn't matter much to me.

I'm not talking about moving in. So yeah, a lot of that, if you want to hear about how men are bad people listen to 70s soft rock lyrics fuck boys of the 70s yeah holy shit fuck boys of the 70s

is a great compilation album just an entire podcast yeah there's a lot of like that in that hello it's me Rundgren song
