Yeah. What's the power move one? You know, it's like saying you have a hotmail account on the first date. You know, you're not going to say that.
When do you hold on to that, Chris? Usually, when do you hold on to a hotmail that you got a hotmail? I don't have a hotmail. Come on. I'm trying to make it.
Wait, that's not a CS. That's not a good look. I feel like it's a flex. I don't think so. I don't know.
My brother had a hotmail account and I told him he should change it when he's looking for a job.
Yeah, like you're going to get laughed out of the room.
I'm not kidding.
Implicit ageism.
Jack gets it. Yeah.
I mean, it should be a Google.

My glasses are showing the whole damn screen.
All right.
Hold on a second. That's better.
Who cares? I don't need to say anything. All right, hold on a second. That's better. Who cares?
I don't need to say anything.
I don't need to see anything. You're like, Oh, where's this thing?
Headed.
Chris, you're facing the wrong way.
Chris.
Yeah.
Face the mic.
On Thanksgiving day, 1999, five year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez was found off the coast of Florida.
And the question was, should the boy go back to his father in Cuba?
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or stay with his relatives in Miami?

Trump just said that Kamala should concede
because she was on 60 minutes.
Uh huh.
And I think he has a point.
He makes some interesting points.
They both make such interesting points.
I, here's the thing.
I like them both so much.
I just don't know who to choose.
I think, and also for me personally, as a bi-racial black and Asian person, his
commentary on racial identity was really poignant.
Uh-huh.
I really had to think, what am I really?
Yeah.
Who am I?
So the New York times headline that talked about how he has always had a
passion for genetics
instead of it or like an interest in genetics or something like that like Trump talks about race and genes revealing a side hobby yeah yeah made it aspiring eugenicists he's a polymath who's just
you know this is one of many interests anyways this is a podcast and it's also a place where we take a deep dive into American
It's Friday October 11th
2024 yeah and 11 11. It's
No, just 10 or maybe well not this Well, not this week, but it is National Coming Out Day. It is National Sausage Pizza Day and National General Polaski Memorial Day.
I remember this happening last time.
I was like, who is General Polaski?
And it was a Polish immigrant who was serving in the Continental Army.
Hey, National Happy National Coming Out Day to all who are celebrating.
Good luck to all who are partaking.
Takes a lot more courage than anything I've ever had to do in my life.
So truly true.
You know, good luck.
All right.
My name is Jack O'Brien, AKA you can dance if you want to.
You can cream your couch tonight, but if your friends vote fence, then there is a chance you could lose reproductive
rights that one courtesy of hamburger time.
Ah, yes.
A throwback to when we still hadn't quite shaken the undeniable feeling we all
have that this guy fucks couches.
Yeah.
And we don't notice it that much anymore.
So I feel like that means it's just a part of us.
Like JD Vance's couch fucking energy is just in our bones now.
It's water now around us.
It's just, it is our water.
Yeah.
Right.
He fucks them.
He fucks them.
And that's for goddamn sure.
He fucks them.
I wonder how we'll handle that on the video episode.
Just a disembodied voice.
Because we haven't introduced him.
Well, it could just be a, maybe a bottle of cold brew or something.
Anyways, I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host, Mr.
Miles Gray!
It's Miles Gray, okay. Her name is Mudang.
I have a dream about her splashing again.
Hoes bath in half an hour.
Oh, how she rocks.
I watch her TikToks.
I know she will never see.
I want her to bite my knee cuz she's just a pig me
Hippo baby. Yeah. Yeah, she's just a pig me
Hippo baby. Her skin is so very
Slipple, baby. Oh, yeah
Shout out to cheese baby Nice on the Discord.

Shout out Weedus. Where you been?
Her skin is so very slippo.
Yeah, it is.
Exactly.
I can't believe nobody had pointed that out to me before.
You can tell from the pictures.
Man, that song was really one of my faves for a month there.
Really?
From the pictures of me at that time.
Anyways.
No, I didn't know.
We are thrilled to be joined in our third seat. Holy shit.
It is a hilarious stand-up comedian, actor, musician.
You can listen to his podcast,
Cold Brew Got Me Like Anywhere, and his book, The Advice King Anthology is available
now anywhere if my books are sold.
The poetry window is open because it's Chris motherfucking Crofton.
Hey, what's up?
Hey, look, I got, I got TVs in my, look at this.
Look at these glasses.
I got the whole TV as Crofton little behind the scenes.
Yeah.
Old blue screen eyes.
Good to see you, man.
And I should see you guys too.
It's been a little while.
Um, I was supposed to do one earlier, but I can't remember what happened.
I had to go somewhere.
Oh, I know where I had to go.
I had delivered Robbie Robertson's belongings across the country.
I had to cancel because I got a high paying gig to drive from Los Angeles to Nashville.
I like a U-Haul full of Robbie Robertson's stuff because my friend works for this company that bought,
you know, he works for this humongous company that bought Robbie Robertson's like likeness and everything including but including like his shoes. Oh
Wow, so like I was driving with like his clothes
Just in a u-haul. Yes going across the country with
With Bob Dylan's guitarists shit in a vein. I had a Les Paul. I
Don't know. It was like a $5,000. It was probably one of those things that he got.
Or if it's Robbie Robertson.
Yeah, I guess so, you know, bands, they were kind of a big deal.
Right. And I was stopping in, you know, the middle of New Mexico and like,
uh, staying in motels and the, you know, if someone grabbed that guitar,
they definitely would not know that it was obvious.
They wouldn't know it was his.
They just pawn it for like 50 bucks.
So you tell us.
But yeah, I was anyway.
That's that's what I was doing last time.
I just got this hot gig driving a U-Haul.
Yeah, it was a success.
I got it. I got it back and nobody took any of his pants or pants or anything.
OK, and you didn't.
You said that like you might have taken some of his pants.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the back, I wanted to get, you might've taken some of his pants. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
In the back. I wanted to get in the back and like look around, but I had no time.
It was like, they need to get back like in the exact amount of time it takes to
drive across the country.
So I couldn't even get in the back and try on his slacks.
What, what's that trip like?
Well, how long is that?
30 hours, 29 to 30 hours.
I did.
So would you do it in two days?
Three.
I can't drive 15 hours and I can drive 10 hours.
And even that gets pretty weird, you know?
But I like that.
I like that middle of the night driving, listening to music you hate, but all of a
sudden sounds awesome.
You know what I mean?
Like, all of a sudden like you're like party in the USA is the greatest song by
Miley Cyrus is like the best song you ever heard.
Cause it's just cause you've been up for up for 90 hours and you're like, this stuff the USA is the greatest song by Miley Cyrus. It's like the best song you ever heard.
It's just because you've been up for 90 hours.
And you're like, this stuff is actually pretty good.
Why am I so hard on her?
Right.
You're like, yay, yay, yay, yay.
Party, just picture you losing it
behind the wheel at like three in the morning.
Oh, I'm not kidding.
That's my favorite part.
It's like, you're young again.
You're listening to trash music and smoking cigarettes
and considering relapsing.
It's great.
Sleep deprivation is very, like that's how they often describe it.
They're like, okay, so this amount of sleep deprivation is the
equivalent of like two drinks and this amount of sleep deprivation is the
equivalent of three to four.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're in sleep studies.
No wonder I was having so much fun in the middle of the night.
I was drunk.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh my God.
I didn't know, but I was having so much fun.
Yeah.
And I listened to songs like, you know, Genesis songs, like, you know,
invisible touch or something, which is a really bad song.
And I'm like, it's a pretty good song.
Are you catching these on the radio?
You just listening to like local radio, Spotify or the radio, you know, whatever.
I mean, the radio radio, if you're in the middle of like, wow, anywhere from like
new Mexico to Nashville, really, it seems like it's all Bible.
I mean, it's all there's a lot of Bible.
It's just preachers and songs about and Christian rock and like Christian Christ.
Yeah.
It's insane.
None of that spoke to you.
Well, it's all, it's all there for man.
It's just, you know, I want to get this right.
So Miley Cyrus, you know, got lit a fire under you, but the word of
Christ did, did nothing for you.
Huh?
Well, I just put in his hand out.
You can choose to accept it or not.
It was just straight.
It's just there to shake your hand.
You know, if it was the straight word of Christ and it wasn't mixed in with Maga,
maybe, maybe I would imagine maybe like, oh, and he said unto them and you're
like, hold on, wait a second.
Yeah.
And there's a way we can interpret this passage to mean that he was mad at
migrants, right?
Right.
Right.
So I don't like that.
Like if they were doing straight Christianity,
I would like that.
Sure.
Like, you know, maybe, but I mean, there'd be no market.
No one would tune in to be like, here a station that said like,
share your belongings.
What the fuck?
This Christ fucker's office.
This guy's fucking, Jesus has the Waltz Line virus.
I know man, I'm kind of glad they nailed him up man,
if he was talking this kind of nonsense,
you know what I mean?
The socialist, it was socialist.
All right, Chris, we're gonna get to know you
a little bit better, but first we're gonna tell
the listeners some things we would theoretically
be talking about later in the episode.
Were we to ever get to those things?
Yes.
Okay.
And we will endeavor to.
Yeah, of course.
Always.
The LAPD is starting to use their robot dog.
And there are some media accounts that are just kind of interesting.
Like one called meet Spot, the LAPD's new crime fighting robot dog.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, he sounds neat.
He sounds nice. Crime fighting, yeah.
Oh, so it fights?
Yeah. Dear, dear God.
They always compare him to a golden retriever,
you know, most friendly.
They're like, he's like a 70 pound gold retriever.
Oh, okay. If it had a snake for a head.
Right. Anyways. And you couldn't stop it.
Yeah.
You truly just can't stop it.
We will talk about Jamie Kennedy seems to be doing well.
So we'll check in with that.
Uh, all that, plenty more, but first Chris Crofton, we do like to ask our guests.
Uh, that's you.
What, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Well, you're not going to believe this, you guys, but this week we're on the
damn TV, so we're on the internet television.
So we can, we can show the damn, we can show the damn things that I, that I,
that I fuck with, as the kids say.
I know.
This is very exciting. I also have, I also, I also fuck with. I know the kids say, I know this is very I also have.
I also I also have an AKA, but I want to I want to at least shout out
the guy who gave me the AKA and I'll study better last time because I thought
I knew the tune to chick chicka keeta by Keeta Abba.
It's it's just Chiquita.
I think they say Chiquita.
Don't you know or something? Anyway, he did a nice
aka for me and and I can't sing it because I thought I knew like if it was to Dancing Queen I'd be fine, but I
Cut in a way out of the great midnight. Yeah, Chiquita and but I'll read it because what the heck
So this will be a recitation. Hi, I'm back on the Daily
Zeitgeist. Jack and Miles, check out this new old beer bottle. Some guy found in a cave
or so I'm told he sent it to me. Zeitgang, thank you for the applause. It's an honor
to hang out with the wet boys. Allow me to take a sip of my cold brew, start vibrating
into a high dimension.
I'm sure that's much better with the tune that this man intended, but his name is Omar.
I can't even read.
Omar Ramirez.
These glasses are like, whatever.
They're fake.
They're fake glasses.
They're just for the look.
Yeah.
Omar Ramirez Bonilla.
So thank you, Omar.
Okay.
Anyway, so yeah, this week, we've got some videos like I just recently
discovered that SMU, the university Southern Methodist University has uploaded, like somehow
gotten their hands on all of the old news reports from the 70s and has uploaded a huge amount of it,
like digitized it. And I just want to thank the SMU Southern
Methodist University for doing this because a
lot of places like WGBH in Boston has a great
Instagram account and Twitter account where
they basically just put up digitized B-roll of
old news reports.
So it's just like, like, you know, a three
minute piece of, you know, Harvard square in
1983, you know, something they shot for atmosphere and
they'll put the whole thing up. So anybody, I wish, I wish so much that Nashville would do that.
Like, so anyway, I'm just glad when they do this, that there's a bunch of archives
that maybe the news channels donate their archival footage to the university or whatever. And like,
but someone has to digitize it. So shout out to whoever at Southern Methodist
Methodist University is putting up stuff like this, which is.
It's a, I clicked on it because it's a news report about a, a nail transplant.
Like it says, get nail transplants for your fingernails.
That sounds like a body horror.
Well, yeah, I don't sound, I mean, I, I quick clicked on it, like thinking
it was a surgical procedure, but it's a,
turns out they've overhyped it just a bit.
Okay.
October, 1975.
It just, it's just the most cropped and shit.
Like dude, a fingernail transplant in Dallas in 1975.
Well, I thought this was going to be like an operating table, but it turns out it's just a nail salon.
Well, let's find out together. Yeah. Yeah, okay, so for the listeners who aren't getting a fingernail transplant I mean, it's the procedure will cost her about $30 for a full nail job on both hands
I thought the salon runs classified ads to find people whose nails have broken off
Who are willing to sell what's broken off for 20 cents to a dollar 50 each
Their nails we use to make other people's nails longer and stronger
What?
And now they're just yeah fingernails fingernails
So it turns out a fingernail
Transplant might be a little bit of an overstatement.
I mean, yeah, it's yes, but also no.
Like I assume this was just the invention of like the Lee press on nail, but like they are like the thing that they're putting on the tip of somebody's finger looks like yellowed and like the worst case scenario for someone's
fingernail clipping.
It's a corpses fingernail.
Yeah.
They're like, they're like, it's not even, these are like clean breaks too.
It looks like they were traumatically broken off.
Yeah.
So the audio on there is kind of bad, which you might expect because it's like a digitized
piece of footage that someone probably tried to destroy at some point.
But, uh, yeah, it ends up there paying like, they're paying like a dollar
50 a bag for, for fingernail clippings.
And then they're gluing them on people's fingers and calling it a fingernail
transplant and charging 30 bucks.
And they act like it's like some major step forward.
And they also talk about how it's like, they're like, why do you need
these nails to be so long?
And she's like, well, I work as a data entry person, but I don't,
that doesn't make any sense to me.
It seems like it would make it harder to put in data entry if you have really long
nails, but then it's also for personal reasons, which makes me think running them
across your
lovers back and there are someone else's goddamn fingernails.
That's fuck.
Yeah.
Like your first thought is like kind of hot, you know, where are they? Well, maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Until you find out as a truck driver's fingernails, you imagine that there's some
hot, I mean, beautiful nails for a truck driver.
I must say, I don't know.
One of those nails that they cut to in one of the closeups looked like it was a
trip, a fingernails or like a trucker's.
Yeah.
Listen, do you have, do you guys take whole hands or do I have to just drive?
Do I have to get the day off?
So I want the dollar 50.
I need, I need a beer.
Well, and also is it like a, like a red flag? If flag if someone pulled up was just a bag of Lucy's like that.
Is that like, yeah, I got 50 bucks worth in here. I think we good.
They're like, I might have to call a homicide.
Every alcoholic in Dallas was pulling off everybody's fingernails at the bus stop.
You know, I mean, that is a very that's not good.
That's like having a bounty on fingernails.
Right, right.
And also then you get your, anyway,
I just couldn't believe that that was what they call
a fingernail transplant.
They were catalytic converters before catalytic converters.
Oh wow, he got a lovely random nails there.
That's funny.
Just popping them off and like,
yo, now we can get fucking cream through this.
Just copper wiring, yeah.
It also just great room tone of just what everybody's wearing, the hair.
You get the sense that this was a time when people still got up for
the local news coming through the salon.
Of course.
They had the hair was up,
the cute outfits were on, I'm into it. salon, you know, like they had the hair was up, the, you know,
cute outfits were on.
I was, I'm into it.
So I just love the, yeah, this like people that have gathered,
cause it's clear that they're like, you know, the news is going to come by to
talk about my revolutionary finger transplant procedures that are like.
Grave robbing business.
There's more.
There's also a guy in the background too. Yeah. I think he's just in it for the cameras.
I don't, I don't know that that guy's a beauty.
He works in the law office next door.
He just came in.
Yeah.
So that one has bad audio though.
So now I would just recommend the whole SMU archive is great.
And there's like, wait, one question, Chris.
Yes.
I'm looking at this YouTube video.
It says it was uploaded 23 hours ago. And there's like one question, Chris.
Yes.
I'm looking at this YouTube video.
It says it was uploaded 23 hours ago.
So you caught this shit like within moments of it hitting the Internet.
When you find something, when you find
a passion, when you find something you love, you go after it.
If you're me, you just got your alert set up.
You're like, listen, you got you got for me? SMU archives.
I, when I was drunk, I might've let these opportunities slide by, but now,
right now I'm ready.
I think you're vigilant.
I'm seizing the day.
You're just, you're just laying in your bed with your eyes open and then you
just get a notification.
Ding!
Oh my God. Someone at Southern Methodist University uploaded another film strip.
Did somebody, do you have somebody inside the digitization room who like alerted you?
No, I want to.
We've got something you might want to look at.
I want to. I used to think I wanted to date Nicola White Mudlark,
but it turns out I want to date the video uploader at Southern Methodist University.
Like I need to call them up and find out who this who knows
that's probably my match.
You know, like find so amazing.
Well, the whole yeah, there's like, there's also like a film
festival called the American or the USA film festival, which
started in Dallas, I guess SMU is in Dallas. So it's all Dallas
related stuff. But there's there's a whole documentary on there.
Basically a 20 minute interview with a pawn shop owner from like, I'm looking at that. That's amazing. You could show honest Joe.
Yeah, yeah, that's great. You know, you can show a little of that if you wanted.
I don't know how many people are going to be watching this thing, but you can just find them on your own, you know?
Yeah, yeah. What do I tell you? They've got it all. You can find them on your own.
Yeah.
There's this thing called youtube.com.
Okay.
The internet is truly worldwide.
No, you're not going to believe this.
You can find this on your own.
Go to youtube.com.
Put in the words SMU archive spelled with a CH.
HTTPS colon slash slash.
A panel discussion on birth control from the early 1970s.
I'm upstairs watching for real.
And I'm like, I'm just kind of like, where does this go?
Although I'm curious if it'll just be like more progressive than it is now.
Yeah.
I'm just more into it for the outfit.
That's me too.
These costumes are good.
These costumes are great.
What?
They're not costumes.
Well, cause everyone was, because everyone was improving their outfit.
They didn't have like an internet reference.
They were just like, this looks good.
And then they left the house.
Like they had no, and then everybody else was like, what the hell's that?
And they're like, oh no.
But if everybody is giving off looks that warrant to what the hell is that, then
nobody is, you know, then everyone's like, this is just what we look like in this
decade, right?
So let's have some fun.
These glasses are fine.
Yeah.
Where's the instant, where's the instant coffee at?
Yeah.
That's in the New York have also just, you know, interesting, interesting viewing
for people like any of these videos.
You can be like just 10 years ago.
This is, these are the people who killed John F.
Kennedy.
They might have, this person might have been close enough to see what actually happened.
There's actually an interview with Marguerite Oswald.
Well, they are, yeah.
Oswald's mother.
That's right in your...
But it's her talking about recipes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Miley loves my tuna noodle casserole. So, yeah, yeah. Right. My Lee loves my tuna noodle casserole.
So, so yeah, so there's that.
And then, um, I wanted to, if you want to show just the opening of now, this is my life's mission.
Like I'm glad you should, you guys should go to the SMU archive and look
at like people with giant collars talking about voting or whatever they did.
There's, there's a story on everything that's and also on inflation.
Like everything we're talking about now has been talked about before by people with giant
collars.
Right.
And you can see that all on the shoulders of giants and have trouble balancing because
their collars are so big.
They keep knocking our feet off.
We're in a loop.
We're just wearing very boring clothes.
Right.
Exactly.
So, yeah. So this is like the devil at your heels to me is like something that God gave us
Like God gave us devil is this your underrated? Are we moving along? Okay? Yeah, sure if you want yet underrated underrated
Jack's like let's let's try and maybe make it conform
So this will be your
SMU archive it's called The Daily Psychgeist.
Hey, Chris.
And I invented it.
And I invented it, god damn it.
I did.
I invented the whole concept of a zeitgeist.
It's not called SMU Archive.
Hey, we actually cut those parts out.
So they don't know that that's an exact, accurate, uh, impression of me when
the cameras aren't rolling, getting pissed.
Yeah.
Hey, Chris.
Yes.
What's something you think is underrated?
Thank you.
Host of the daily zeitgeist Jack O'Brien.
Um, I think that something underrated is the movie devil at your heels.
It's a documentary I've mentioned, I think before on this show, many,
many years ago, maybe.
I feel like an early reference to this.
Yes, it's one of my favorite things.
And it turns out it's almost impossible
to make someone watch a documentary.
You can tell them about it over.
You can tell them about it over
and you can make it your life's mission
to use every breath in your body
to tell people about this movie Devil at Your He heels and no one will watch it no matter what. I just love that as a truism about human experience.
No matter how much you fucking love a documentary it is almost impossible to get somebody to watch
a documentary. I feel like the only way I've done it is to be like it's gonna fuck you up there's
such a twist in it. I feel like the only time I've gotten people to watch the documentary was that one about like the tickle tournaments. Oh, yeah.
It started one way and then goes.
Yeah.
Another way.
Every other time I talk about it's true.
Like they're like, Oh yeah, I check it out.
Well, what makes me mad is American Cinematheque in LA.
Like somebody just showed it.
They just showed devil at your heels.
The only, the only print in the world, they showed it in LA.
And like my friend, Seth, who I've told about who's directing a
documentary about me, ding, and it's done. It's done. I'll
mention that. I'll maybe I'll mention that'll be underrated.
Um, so are overrated. So overrated will be like not
knowing about that documentary or something. So yeah, see what
I did. So I do it every time.
It's amazing every day.
Oh, so cool.
So cool.
So anyway, The Devil at Your Heels is just a great movie about a guy who's
like a dreamer and he's trying to jump a car over the St.
Lawrence Seaway, which is like a half mile to a mile wide.
And he is so damn genuine and, and,
and earnest that he manages to get the ramp built and he sort
of gets it to happen in a roundabout way. But there's a
twist in the movie too. And the movie also includes why he's
bounded downs main characters named Kenny Powers, because
Kenny Powers is without a doubt the reference to this movie,
which is Kenny Powers is the guy who ends up jumping the car. But the way that we end up with that is like so neat. But also I'm just hoping on this show you guys will see it.
And now that American Cinematheque has gotten on board, whatever, you guys will all be like,
oh my gosh, she'll smoke pipes and talk about it. And I'm so mad.
Yeah. So Seth finally went and saw it when it was in LA and he's like, that documentary was incredible.
And I was like, you know what? Fuck you.
Like, I feel like I can't watch this now.
Like, there's no win win for me at this point.
If I watch it now, you're going to be like, yeah, exactly.
No, it's not. I thought.
No, that's what I thought.
You need to know this is a perfect vehicle.
So let's roll the very beginning.
It's just it's a it's a roll the.
It's a Connecticut.
It's a Connecticut. It's a I'm from Connecticut. It's a the very beginning. It's just, it's, it's a, it's a Connecticut. It's a Connecticut.
It's a, I'm from Connecticut.
It's a Canadian broadcasting company.
So it's public domain.
It's a great, great resource.
Also Canadian, Canadian broadcasting company posts all their great stuff.
Um, I just want to show people the ramp and I feel like then people will be on
board, people will understand.
Yeah.
As soon as do you see when you see, yeah. Do you see how reckless we were? But are you guys gonna. People will understand. Yeah, as soon as, do you see? When you see, yeah.
Do you see how reckless we were?
But are you guys gonna?
Here we go.
Oh, sorry, I'm sorry.
No, I didn't know if I.
Sorry, without further ado.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Do the ado.
The show is the ado.
No, many apologies to you.
Welcome to the Canadian Broadcasting Company podcast.
Yes, here we go.
Oh, I love that logo.
National Film Board of Canada. Okay. Here we go. I love that logo. National Film
Board of Canada. Okay. Wow. That's a poorly built ramp.
Now that doesn't get you interested in watching a
documentary. I don't know what to tell you. I'm sorry. Try and
jump that body of water with that ramp? Yes. On what? In a Lincoln Continental with wings on it.
And he gets pretty damn far.
And he gets a lot of experts on board with him.
He gets someone to put the wings on a car.
He gets this expert guy to say that he's like, well, I don't know how he can do it.
But once he's up there, these wings will work.
He can steer them in the air.
I don't see how he's going to get up there, but these will work if he does.
I mean, he's like, I don't,
this whole thing sounds unlikely to me,
but if he does get up in the air and he is cruising,
he will be able to move the car with these wings.
Wow.
So it's like, also he can't swim.
What?
Ken Carter can't swim.
So the guy is getting in a winged Lincoln Continental
and trying to jump across a fucking river
Do you know what's I'm sure you've seen the document? What is that distance exactly?
He has to go across like a half mile mile or something. Yeah, it's impossible
well, he's planning on going 600 miles an hour off the ramp, but
He has a car
Jet car
Go like 290 miles an hour off the ramp
when it eventually goes.
But that's not nearly enough to get to cruising altitude,
it turns out.
Oh, okay.
So he never gets, but anyway, it's a great,
and Ken Carter's just awesome.
He's like a grade school dropout or like a high school,
maybe he says fourth grade, but I think in Canada,
that means something else.
So I think it's like, maybe he dropped out of high school.
I don't know, but he's like- What do you think they call it like year four or something in Canada that means something else. So I think it's like maybe he dropped out of high school. I don't know.
But he's like year four or something in Canada.
He's really confident and for no reason he calls himself a healthy specimen when he's
broken every bone in his body.
He's just great.
He says, I'm a healthy specimen standing on the threshold of life.
He's like 42 and has broken every bone in his body.
I just love it's inspirational.
All right, here we go.
And then my God, it's Kenny Powers. This guy, the full goatee, the curly hair, possibly permed.
It was this man is a lovely man. This guy is a lovely man. He's insane. But this he's about to tell you all in me what I'm like, he admits what what the quest for fame is all about.
But he doesn't he says something so earth shatteringly honest right here.
But it's just amazing anyway.
And I'll show.
Oh, no, no, no.
This is the guy who tries to jump it and his lifelong quest.
It has been to try and jump it.
Yeah, and he does other, I mean,
he's been also doing stunts along the way,
but he wants this big monster stunt
because he wants to be the greatest daredevil of all time.
And right before this clip, Evil Knievel comes out and checks out his,
they were going to broadcast this on wide world of sports, but then they decided
not to cause they thought he was going to die.
So, so he was in this documentary, evil Knievel's in this documentary and he,
and he comes and assesses the jump and talks to Ken and Ken's thrilled.
You know, Ken, he, he was a relentless human being and he had two personalities that he talks
about. He's like, there's Ken Polichek and then there's Ken Carter, because his real name is Ken
Polichek. He's like, Ken Polichek is the one who says, maybe you shouldn't do this jump. Maybe it's
not a good idea. But then Ken Carter says, what are you talking about you pussy? So it's like a
very, very, there's so much. Inside you are two wolves and both of them have pretty normal last names.
Ken Carter, a cooler name.
So funny.
Yeah.
What did he call him?
Ken jump or something.
Yeah.
So Kenny Powers.
Okay.
So this is him.
This is on fame.
He said this is him sort of speaking.
He's going to talk about why he jumps and it turns out this is why you do stand up,
why you play music, why you, I mean, it's just amazing.
Some work harder at some things.
Some sacrifices are a little more than others.
So therefore they deserve more.
You know, if it's money, if it's glory, no matter what it may be.
I always said that when I first started, I always, I said it's money.
But years and years went by.
I knew, I knew that wasn't it.
I then begin its challenge.
It's all the challenge.
It's a challenge.
And it's a starvation for popularity is what it is.
It's an equal.
Wow.
That's it right there.
Shit dude.
You had just been liked by three more people in high school.
I love it.
You know, I just love it.
What a phrase.
And he throws that in, you know, he's like, first I love it. You know, I just love it. It's race. And he throws that in.
You know, he's like, first, I thought it was money, you know.
And then then then I thought it was the challenge.
But then I realized that I realized it's challenge.
And a starvation for popularity.
I just love that.
But anyway, I want to start doing that.
Everything I do when I get if I ever get
interviewed about everything, anything, I'm just going to be like, listen listen. It's a starvation for popularity primarily. I also like to paint
Like yeah, I like to paint a van interview with Van Gogh. Yeah, I like to paint but I also
I'm also starved and
Popularity fucking dying over here, man. And anyway, you like me already. Yeah, so that was like we're amazingly honest, right?
Right, Right.
Right. He's an endearing guy because I'm so invested.
Now I'm like, I just want to go to the part where he jumps the fucking car.
But it's so complicated. I want to give it the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. It's like there's a corporate guy who comes in and tries to make him
jump when the ramp's not ready. I mean, he's like, I don't want to die.
You know, he's like, I don't want to die. The ramp's not ready.
And he's like, yeah, it is. I think it's going to smooth out once you get up to speed.
And once you get up to speed, smooth out.
And this guy who says it's going to smooth out was trying to kill Ken Carter
because the money men are like, get them to fucking jump the car.
We got film rolling.
I was just costing money because there was a production crew to shoot it.
Yeah.
And they were from Hollywood for real.
They were like, came in from Hollywood.
They kept saying in the documentary, these Hollywood guys,
and they were like, the Hollywood guys were like, listen, man, we're burning
daylight, get him to jump the car.
And so there's all this intrigue and then there's just like, yeah, things like
that. Like, uh, and there's also tons of people misusing, um, metaphors and old
sayings and stuff like that guy right before, you know, he'll say like,
they're like, you think Ken can do this? And he's like, well, a man's got to bite off a hunk and fight it till he can, you know, like he uses a lot of misused sayings in it. You got to fight
that hunk you bit off. Yeah. I just realized we haven't taken a break. We got to take a break.
We'll come back. We'll keep talking about the devil at your heels. We'll be right back.
Hey, Bo. Hey, Matt. Are you ready to tell the readers about the extra special episode we have
coming up? Training. Yes. I see. So, but you can do that kind of spooky scary. Well, yeah, but it's
also because it's a ride.
Yeah, I can go up and down on it.
But you're in it, you know?
Yeah, exactly.
You're in the spook.
I think we have to let them in on our little surprise.
Yeah, if you haven't already figured it out,
can't believe this, Mariah Carey will be joining us this week.
I say, oh, I want to go work with such and such from across town.
Yeah, across town.

There's one more question, which I promised myself
I would ask.
Can you drop that grunge album?
I'm so mad that I haven't done that yet.
But you don't have to be mad because you're in control.
I am, and who do I drop it with?
So should we start a label?
Maybe.
Wow.

On Thanksgiving Day 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel.
I mean, he looked so fresh.
And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian Gonzalez.
Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he
belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son
with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.
At the heart of it all is still
this painful family separation.
Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose. My latest episode is with Jelly Roll.
This episode is one of the most honest
and raw interviews I've ever had.
We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story
from being in and out of prison from the age of 13
to being one of today's biggest artists.
We talk about guilt, shame, body image
and huge life transformations.
I was a desperate delusional dreamer
and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble.
I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate delusional dreamer and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate delusional dreamer.
I just had such an anger. I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault.
But mine, I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything in my life.
I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything but me.
It took years for me to
break that, like years of work.

I'm Tariqa Foster-Brasby, journalist, sports reporter,
basketball analyst, a wife, and I'm also a woman.
And on our new podcast, we're talking about the real
obstacles women face day to day.
See, athlete or not, we all know it takes a lot as women
to be at the top of our game.
We want to share those stories about balancing work and relationships, motherhood, career
shifts, you know, just all the s*** we go through.
Because no matter who you are, there are levels to what we experience as women.
And T and I, well, we have no problem going there.
Listen to levels to this with Sheryl Spoope and T and Tarika Foster-Brasby, an iHeart women's
sports production in partnership with Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment.
You can find us on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Presented by Elf Beauty, founding partner of iHeart women's sports. And we're back. We're back. The other thing I like about this is that this is a glimpse into what history was like,
like before the invention of like film, it was basically a quest for flight with people
doing the stupidest shit you could possibly imagine to just like hurl themselves into
the sky. Basically a quest for flight with people doing the stupidest shit you could
possibly imagine to just like hurl themselves into the sky.
Like that was just a man's eternal quest.
And we've like totally lost that because we all like fly on airlines now.
And it doesn't like, it's not impressive, but like, if you read.
Like once we achieved flight, like it was all anybody wanted to talk about.
Like the pilots were like national heroes.
And it's just funny that like 70 years on this guy's still like, what if I like made up a new way to fly?
What if I could fly a Lincoln Continental?
But it's not sustainable.
And how much do I get laid?
Right.
Yeah. What do you do? get laid? Right. Yeah.
What do you do?
I'm a pilot.
Oh yeah, me too.
I like the Wright brothers, except like with a car.
Right.
Dire.
Yeah.
Take Henry Ford and the Wright brothers, take out the Nazi stuff and you got me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he ends up, he ended up years later, not very many years later. What am I saying up years later not very many years later
What am I saying years later like five years later because this was shot between 78 and 80
I think it maybe it came out in 80 or maybe it was shot in over four or five years
Maybe it was shot from like 76 to 80
I can't remember but it's was shot over a long period and it was worth the wait because it got weirder and weirder
And that's why I really love this movie
I mean, it's just like one of those things where if this guy,
whoever made this movie, I forget his name
and I should know it, but it's not the directing
that gets me, although it's good,
but it's the fact that he captured this.
This is a story that would have been talked about
and you would hear like,
oh, this guy tried to build this ramp and stuff,
but this, we get to see it in all its glory.
Dude, were you talking about this on Cold Brew Got Me Like? to build this ramp and stuff, but this we get to see it in all its glory. I did.
Were you talking about this on cold brew?
Got me like, I've been talking about this almost exclusively.
I'm just nine years.
I'm just looking at the comments section.
And the second comment is celebrity.
Chris Crofton told me to watch this.
I'm doing so despite it being free.
Wait, what is this?
Is this on?
We're not live, are we?
No, no, no.
I'm looking at the comment section of the YouTube video right here.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I guess so.
Yeah, I guess so.
Your fucking influence is you're potent, dude.
Wow.
I've got a serious reach in the obscure documentary comment world.
Yeah.
A lot of people are saying I'm only six minutes in and I'm feeling like this could be the greatest documentary of world. Yeah. A lot of people saying I'm only six minutes
in and I'm feeling like this could be the greatest documentary of all time. It is. It is without a
doubt. I think I have to really, yeah, as much as I want to like, and you know what, skim to the end,
I'm like, yeah, this might be one of those documentaries I watch. Guess what, Jack? You know
what? Miles isn't going to watch it. He's not going to watch it. No, I'm not going to watch it.
I'm just going to say that. And this is proof positive. This is what happens. People say this is exactly what people who are not going to watch it say.
This is exactly what people who do not watch it say.
I fuck it. Yeah, you just already- Chris Crofton, rule of documentary consumption.
They say they have to watch it. I just imagine you're doing this on a date. You're like,
oh, it's great. And they go, oh yeah, I got to check it. I just imagine you're doing this on a date.
You're like, oh, it's great. And they go, oh, yeah, I got to check it out.
Yeah, you just fucking saying that you're not going to fucking watch it.
That's like that Norm MacDonald.
You're just like all the other ones.
Oh, you fucking lying piece of shit.
I tone it down on dates.
Yes, this is a lot like a date, but I tone that.
I don't get so aggressive about like you're not going to watch it.
This episode is called, yeah, we're going to call this episode the
Kriff Crofton dating simulator.
Yeah, it's sort of like, yeah,
it's sort of like a first date,
except I don't react quite as badly about like,
you're not going to watch it.
You're not going to watch it.
Like I get a little bit like,
maybe you are going to watch it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, maybe you are going to watch it.
I don't think you are.
No, I've definitely.
Hope Springs Eternal.
Yeah, yeah.
I say stuff like that on dates all the time.
Hope Springs Eternal.
And they're like, never going to see that guy again. Yeah, they're stuff like that on dates all the time. Hope Springs eternal. They're like never gonna see that guy again
Yeah, they're like so Chris. What was it like being a comedian and musician?
Oh, well, you know, just you got a bite a big hunk off of life and then you know fight it to the end
I'm also doing for the art but also starvation for popularity
So I really love I hate it but I love it but yeah It's such a good fucking line.
It's so honest.
I really love it.
I hate it, but I love it.
Yeah.
So yeah, that's a little selection, but I'm excited about this video podcast because I
do think it'll be fun to play some of these things.
We're done with that part, right?
What?
Yeah, we're done with that part.
The videos, right?
I mean, I don't know.
I think so.
Unless you're overrated as a video, like a bad video that you want to show us.
Oh, well overrated is, uh, what was I saying?
I was going to be overrated.
Not knowing about your doc, not knowing about my documentary, but it's not time
to promote my documentary yet because it's not, okay, it's coming out in the
spring, it's coming out in March.
Okay.
I just to mention, it's a finished documentary by my friend, Seth Pomeroy,
who already made a great documentary about silkworm, the band
from the nineties and it's called, Oh, couldn't you wait?
So if you want to see Seth's work already, he's, he's made a nice
documentary, really nice.
I cried about silkworm.
One of the members died in a car accident, but, uh, in my documentary, nobody,
nobody dies in a car accident, but someone does break their hip. and, and, and Seth was there the day I broke my hip.
He was filming.
Oh, because he was in town for my album release show.
Is that when you slip?
Yeah.
Yeah.
In 2018, I was, I was going to have a show at the bootleg theater and in Los Angeles,
I moved away from Los Angeles in 2022, but in 2018 I was there.
And, and I went roller skating with some friends of mine, including Jim
James from my morning jacket.
Okay.
And, and I just, who I just sort of met, I just sort of met him through a friend
of mine who, who, who records my records.
You named Kevin Raderman and, and we went rollererman. And we went roller skating.
Well, we went roller skating.
I want to mention these guys.
Moonlight.
Just making sure you're at Moonlight roller skating.
And I had never been.
Did you fall because you were bending down to pick up the names that you were driving?
Oh, shit.
Okay, we can close down the show.
We can close down the show now.
I'm Chris Slump. You can actually watch me slump in my chair now.
Wait, how did you fall? Were you trying to do something?
You also broke your hips slipping on ice, right?
No, no, no, no, I broke my scapula.
It's hard to keep track. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah.
Of this man on disability.
Wait, wait, wait.
So wait, how did you, what did you,
were you trying to do like a triple axel or some shit on roller skates?
No, no, no.
And the reason I bring up Jim is because Jim ended up playing my show instead of me.
That's why I mentioned it.
Wow.
Because I had just met Jim.
Yeah.
And we were just like getting to know each other through,
I don't know, just doing things that rock stars like to do, like I guess roller skate and, um, you
know, cause why not, you know,
roller skating, rock shit.
I had to borrow money from him to defer my admission to the rink.
Cause rock stars are running around with enough money to go into roller
rinks, just falling out of their pockets.
Yeah.
So we went roller skating and I, turns out the drug I'd been on for 20 years,
Depakote had caused bone loss.
So I fell down fairly normally, but it wasn't an Aretha track.
It was right when Aretha Franklin had passed away.
And it was Aretha Franklin tribute night and they started playing rock
steady and I started wiggling and I fell and I broke my hip and I broke my hip.
And then the roller rink was so used to people breaking shit that they were just like, I was like, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I was like, I ruined Aretha Franklin tribute night.
Please get me out of the lane.
I'm ruining it for everybody.
And they're like, this happens every 10 minutes.
Sign this clip.
Yeah.
And the clip board said like, I was never roller skating or whatever.
And I signed it.
And you're in shock.
Yeah, and you're in shock.
So you sign it.
You know?
And then they put you in a room in the back, and there's three other people there.
They're like, Depakote?
Yeah.
You just sign something that says, you owe us money.
I would have signed anything.
So Seth was there to shoot the damn album release party.
And so he was making this documentary.
So he was going to put this in the documentary.
He'd been shooting it since 2014.
So this is four years into making the documentary.
And then instead he was filming when I fell.
Or no, no, my friend was filming when I fell.
And then he put it.
But so the fall is in the documentary?
Yes.
And it's not a dramatic fall.
I gotta watch the documentary. Yes
This document
McDonald saying when he was got thrown into rehab after being drunk twice and he was like I kept saying I'm not an alcoholic But it turns out that's what alcoholics say
Yeah, that's right. Anyway, so then Jim James the reason I bring it up is because my
alcoholics say. Yeah, that's right. Anyway, so then Jim James, the reason I bring it up is because my album release show was a bigger success because I wasn't there,
which is pretty funny. Jim James played instead of me because he felt bad that
that that I broke my hip and he played one of my songs too. He covered one of my
songs. That's so cool. And that's in the movie too. But then this ties into devil
at your heels, which we just talked about naturally for the whole show.
So Jack's looking at the clock.
We got one minute left.
So he got me being loaded into the ambulance.
And I was saying stuff from devil at your heels when I was getting loaded.
Because there's a scene in devil at your heels where he he's getting loaded into the ambulance and he's saying,
he's saying, we'll be back tomorrow night.
He's like, give me the microphone.
He goes, right at the beginning of Devil at Your Heels, he smashes.
Because his big thing when he's not trying to jump over the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Yellow Lincoln Continental
is he just jumps junk cars over like a bunch of other junk cars and then lands on a bunch of junk cars. So he's the landing is on junk cars. But he
when he lands on the junk cars, it like hurts a lot. So he like
sometimes so his leg went through the floor of this and
hit the transmission. So he was like, I broke that leg I heard
him. He's like, that's like that leg I heard in Dallas or
whatever. He keeps saying that like, it's that like, don't
worry. It's that like. Oh, that's it.
Hold on. Well, I now now again, I have to find out what it's just so funny when
people are like, Hey, something bad happened to me and I'm going to use this
moment to reference my favorite documentary.
What happens is so he breaks his so he breaks his ankle or whatever.
He says it's sprained, but he's lying and there he is right there.
And so yeah, that's it. That's it. He's talking to the microphone.
So he says, give me the microphone, give me the microphone. Cause all he cares about's it. That's it. He's talking to the microphone So he says give me the microphone
Give me the microphone because all he cares about is that he's worried the crowd isn't gonna come back tomorrow night
So he goes listen, I spray my ankle against transmission. It's straight
It's it's a it's a ankle I hurt in in in in st. St. Louis or whatever and like, you know
He's like as if that's important because let's hear let's hear from will Kenny himself. Yeah
He's not so he's on a gurney.
Just trying to make sense of where he's at.
He's got the microphone.
But we'll be back here tomorrow night. It's like they're just going to take me in X-ray.
I don't think it's broken.
I think it's badly sprained.
I slammed up against the side of the transmission.
But believe me, we'll be back here tomorrow night at eight o'clock sharp.
We'll be back here tomorrow night.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Dude, this guy is shaking because he's in shock, like the adrenaline.
You can see him be like, ugh.
I was in shock too.
And then wait, so what did you do?
Did you say, hey, give me the microphone? I, I'll be back tomorrow night and something like I was
saying that to the, to the, to him, the cameraman being loaded into the ambulance.
So, and then people, people were like, Oh my God, Chris is, Chris is magical.
He's like always in a good mood or something.
Like he's even being funny when he has a broken hip. But I was in shock.
Right, right, right.
And so the most you can do is like, wait.
Like my friends were like, you're so, oh my God,
you don't, nothing gets you down.
I was like, no, no.
Like as soon as-
No, I'm just starving for popularity.
I'm just hungry, bro.
I'm hungry.
My fucking ribs are touching, my ribs are touching.
You think you break a bone and you're not hungry anymore, man?
No, but it was anyways, like I do get when I get, I get funny if I get like pumped up,
you know, like, and so like, like coffee or in this case, adrenaline from a broken hip.
So I was like doing all these jokes and people were like, man, nothing gets him down.
And then the next two weeks in the hospital, they could, I mean, they came and visited
and then they saw a man who was down.
Yeah. Right, right, who was down. Yeah.
Right, right, right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So yeah, that was, that was six years ago.
And, um, and, uh, yeah, this documentary is now done.
It's called Nashville famous.
It's it's he's submitting it to film festivals right now.
And, um, it's really great.
You know, it's really going to be great.
I hope it, you know, I hope it gets more people to listen to my podcast and
come to my shows and whatever else, but I'm not, I'm just grateful that he's doing it.
It's really, that's really cool, man.
That's really nice.
It's a funny trip.
I'm definitely going to check it out.
You know, it'd be so cool.
We should do an LA premiere, dude.
Not just, not just watching it.
We should blow this thing out.
Well, there's the other thing is my records coming out at same time.
So we're coordinating.
Wow.
So we're going to do my record and my documentary.
So if I don't get some money out of that, then I'm just going to, you know,
I'll do it.
If you have an LA word, we're going to be there for sure.
Well, we'll, we'll, we'll figure something out, but I'm excited.
Maybe I'll go to Nashville.
I'll figure out.
Well, yeah, I won't lie.
I'll be there, but I won't watch the documentary.
Yeah.
I don't care.
I'll be at the party, but I'll turn the other way. I've resigned myself. I'll be there but I won't watch the documentary. Yeah. I don't care. I'll be at the party but I'll turn the other way. I've resigned myself.
I know. There's just cat videos. Cat videos are better. I'll be in there but I will. I'll be on
my phone the whole time. And I'll be like... I was just imagining a version of Munchausen Center
where somebody like repeatedly hurts themselves because it makes them funnier. Right. I was just
thinking that too.
Like, you know, when I get that adrenaline rush, I get funny when I get the
adrenaline rush going, you're like Gallagher, Gallagher, but you've just hurt,
hit yourself with a hammer and shit.
Yeah.
You know what's fucking sad?
Uh-oh.
Alcoholism functions sort of that way.
When I was hungover, that was the funniest I ever was because you're that sort of
half like punchy kind of thing. Right. Right. And I used to kind of live on that, on that.
Like, like if I drank enough the night before, then all the next day I could
kind of ride on that punchiness. And I enjoyed, I enjoyed that sort of like that
funniness that came from being hung over. And then when it started to wear off, I
just drink again. So anyway, that's just the, you were trying to make a joke and now it's sad.
No, no.
It's just made it real.
Hey, there's a little sadness behind every joke.
Hey, look, that's what this show's about.
We got ups and downs. Don't do it.
Don't break your hip to get jokes.
Yeah, you won't. It's not fucking worth it.
Not all of us get funnier when we break, right?
Not everyone's built for that kind of shit, but yeah.
It sucks.
I'm still dealing with it.
I just started going to physical therapy again, six years later, to try to try to get it stronger. Because it's like,
breaking your hip is just an absurd thing to do. I mean, you're not supposed to do it that young
anyway. You're not. I was a whippersnapper of 49. Yeah. Well, everything's built on that thing,
man. You got to keep the hips, hips, right? That's right. Them putting me on the X-ray table.
Hips.
I was genuinely screaming when they were putting me on the X-ray table.
Like not, you know, not like, not ironically, like, you know, not like.
Screaming.
We'll be back tomorrow night.
Just screaming.
No, just screaming.
Like, it wasn't like a teenage wasteland kind of scream.
No, exactly.
Exactly.
It was not, it was not.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. No, it was a real, I've never had a real yellow pain like that. Like these guys were trying to put me on the table.
Is that in the documentary?
Like, no, thank God they didn't put me on the table.
Well, now I'm out. Now I'm out.
Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll close things out. We'll be right back.
We'll come back. We'll close things out. We'll be right back. Well, yeah, but it's also because it's a ride. Yeah, I can go up and down on it. But you're in it, you know? Yeah, exactly.
You're in the spook.
I think we have to let them in on our little surprise.
Yeah, if you haven't already figured it out,
can't believe this.
Mariah Carey will be joining us this week.
I say, oh, I want to go work with such and such

I would ask.
Can you drop that grunge album?
I'm so mad that I haven't done that yet.
But you don't have to be mad because you're in control.
I am, but who do I drop it with?
Should we start a label?
Maybe.
Wow.
Listen to Las Colteristas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or whatever you get your podcasts.
On Thanksgiving Day 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.
He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.
He looked like a little angel.
I mean, he looked so fresh.
And his name, Elian Gonzalez,
will make headlines everywhere.
Elian Gonzalez.
At the heart of the story is a young boy
and the question of who he belongs with.
His father in Cuba.
Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home
and he wanted to take his son with him.
Or his relatives in Miami.
Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.
At the heart of it all is still
this painful family separation.
Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

My latest episode is with Jelly Roll.
This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had.
We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of
13 to being one of today's biggest artists.
We talk about guilt, shame, body image and huge life transformations.
I was a desperate delusional dreamer and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble.
I encourage delusional dreamers.
Be a delusional dreamer.
Just don't be a desperate delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger
I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault, but mine. I had such a victim mentality
I took zero accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what what happened
I immediately started with everything but me. It took years for me to break that like years of work
It took years for me to break that, like years of work. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty

And we're back.
Hi.
Hello. Hi. Oh, hi.
And courtesy of Kristy Yamaguchi-Main, Will Poole, we found out about this clip from Jamie
Kennedy, hadn't thought about Jamie Kennedy in days before I'd seen this.
It had been a couple of days at least since I'd thought about him.
Well, how many days had it been since you watched Malibu's Most Wanted?
Like, yeah, that's the thing is probably like three, about him. Well, how many days had it been since you watched Malibu's Most Wanted?
Like, yeah, that's the thing is probably like three, four days.
Okay. Oh, damn.
By the way, documentaries, documentaries, it's impossible to get people to watch,
but Jamie Kennedy movies, you just tell me about one and I'm there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But this just continues a long proud proud tradition of people, like celebrities
announcing that they're conservative.
I'm sure that this can't be the first time he's announced he's conservative.
It was just the first time that I've seen it and looking like hell, looking
like they've been floating face down in a pile of fast food wrappers.
Yep.
Yeah.
a pile of fast food wrappers. Yep.
Yeah. So this is just a vlog from Malibu most wanted, Jamie Kennedy.
So if you're voting left,
you're one of three things,
brainwashed, getting paid, or a deviant. That's it.
If you're still considering the left after everything I just told you,
assassination attempts,
even people
that don't personally like Trump so believe in him how he's targeted target
I'm Trump is clearly not a perfect person I'm clearly not clearly there's a
lot of stuff there but he also targeted are they trying to take him out because Because he's not, he's gonna shit up in a good way.
He looks pretty bad, dude.
Like what's going on?
What's going on with it?
So first of all, I don't know what you're talking about.
His shirt matches his background.
So it's a regular shirt.
I don't know what you're saying.
Find a new angle.
Yeah.
He looks so bad.
I can barely recognize him.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. He's, I mean, can barely recognize him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's I mean, clearly he's he's what's he's struggling with some
some kind of dealing with the truth, the way the truth.
Well, yeah, these people don't ever look good.
Like, you know, Jim Brewer and and and and Roseanne Barr and John Voight,
Bill Maher, they all look like shit.
They all look like, yeah, they don't look well. I mean, I mean, Bill Maher, they all look like shit. They all look like.
Yeah.
They don't look well. I mean, I mean, Bill Maher, I guess I included him sort of as a, I mean, I
consider him part of the problem too, but these people, yeah, it's a gross.
No, you can, you're allowed to include Bill Maher on this podcast.
Yeah.
It's just a gross nasty point of view.
And it's, and it's, it's anyway, it's just makes people gross.
Clearly been like online way too much like with his like you there
David you can pay
He sounds like a fucking character from like Manchester on the sea or something
Did he burn down a house for the bunch of his show I actually I don't know wait what I'm not gonna
The I mean, the, the character Manchester by the sea is that what it, but no,
probably just his career went in a direction he didn't want it to.
And he never really came to terms with that.
But, oh, kid rock.
Kid Rocks is a good example of a guy that if you really get a good look at kid
rock, he looks like shit and, and, um, I don't think you need a good look at him.
You just need to look at him. No, it's true. But if you look at like, I mean, he really, he appeared,
let's call him, let's call him Robert Richie. Okay. Let's use his government name. Kid Rock
is too cool for, for someone who's actually a, it comes from a wealthy family. Yeah. No, anyway, it's, it's, it's, it's, um, it just makes me sad, uh, to see people,
uh, so, so starved for popularity.
Yeah.
The end, the end.
Yeah, no, it's the, the election is bringing everybody out.
Like it's just so weird too, because yeah, they see more and more of this shit with
like celebrities and like the stakes couldn't be higher, man. For the
devious to take over. Socialism will happen to everybody, man.
Yeah, take it from me. I had a terrible New Year's special
about 14 years ago that I hope people don't remember or look up
on YouTube. Because that was also a fucking disaster. I don't
know if you had a head on. Oh, my god. It was like a local one
he did. And like, I think it was in
Orange County or something. And it was one of the most disastrous New Year's
Eve specials you could have ever seen.
You know, a lot of people thought R.F.K.
Jr. was a big loss for the Democratic side, but this is the Kennedy that really
hurts the most for me.
It's like I think it's a cliche.
How do you sleep at night?
Because like that is the question that you have with people who like are having to do
like burn this amount of calories with like inside their brain doing the like cognitive
dissonance and like somersaults and you know, bend over backwards to like make sense of
the world in
a way that yields what he's saying.
And I think just the answer is like, they don't sleep well.
They sleep badly and it shows every time they show up.
This is, I mean, I'm just so baffled that a guy who had such amazing jokes about
talking to black people, that it didn't go better for him this was just
one that came up i ever said jamie kennedy black jokes on youtube i said this shit is not going
anywhere good fast i'm just i just have to see what the fuck he's saying here i know black guys
like me too when they meet me oh there was compliment within so they see me at the mall they're like
There was compliment within so they see me at the mall. They're like, oh
Shit
Jamie Kennedy you stupid
Okay, that's enough
That's clearly how he got Malibu's like have you heard him talk like a black guy? I think we really fun.
This, this, we might have something here with this guy.
Yeah.
Oh, reminds me of Rogan.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Standup special.
Yeah.
Same kind of stuff.
Just like, yeah, just weird.
I don't even know what it is.
It's just like, I'm famous.
So you're going to laugh when I say something.
Yeah.
It's called inflection comedy.
There are no jokes, but I might talk different.
And then that's a joke.
That story Pat and Oswald told about being at the, at the casino or, and
like, I forget what they, what quote they kept yelling at him, but he didn't
even get to do any material at all.
All anyone wanted to do is hear him say he just said stuff from movies and
everybody roared and he was like, I got paid like $20,000 for an hour of just standing on stage
because people knew who I was.
And he's like, this is not what I got into comedy for.
He's like, I didn't have to do anything.
Everyone was so drunk and just excited to be in the room.
That's what someone they'd heard of.
And that's what really that, that shit is.
Yeah.
Well, Chris Crofton, we wish that for you.
A world where you could just like, just show up, go just show up and say lines for movies.
Get paid and go home.
Shit.
You show up and say lines from a devil at your heels.
I want that too.
And people also need to get a job.
Like Jamie Kennedy, man, how bad do you want to stay home and float around in your
pool that this is how you got to make money? Go get a job like Jamie Kennedy, man. How bad do you want to stay home and float around in your pool that this is
how you got to make money?
Go get a regular job.
I get it.
You've had the day off for 30 years, but if this is the only way you can continue
to have the day off, you might want to look into stocking some shelves.
That's right.
You piece of shit.
Where can people find you?
You can follow me on at the Crofton show on Instagram, which is the main thing I'm
on, which is because I'm a basic B and also Twitter at the Crofton show where you
can find me if you sift through a ton of hate speech and then you can find me
mainly on like podcasts.
Cold brew got me like, and now I've expanded that in wild ways.
I have a cold brew conversations show now.
And I have one episode so far, and I actually edited the whole thing myself.
And I pulled in, I ripped some YouTube standup from my friend Kristen to me.
And I interviewed Kristen to me, but I mean, I put the standup in there and all
the shit I put in the songs and the, I mean, the, you know, the music, the
background music, I finally can make a podcast on
my own with no help.
That sounds decent.
So watch out.
I'm going to start interviewing everybody, including miles and Jack, if
they'll let me and I'm going to be in, I'm going to be doing like my favorite
comedians and, and, and whoever, like even like I'll do my favorite person down
the street too.
I want to interview normal people.
Like, you know, not normal, you know, civilians.
Yeah.
You know, normies dude.
Fucking right.
You know, when comics call regular people civilians.
Yeah, that's, that's the worst.
Yeah, that's cool.
Cause yeah, you're in the military.
That's the worst.
It's mostly an open mic.
It's mostly open mic comedians who say that, but anyway, not that how would I know about that?
So that's it.
And Mike's, that's it. That's it. Just check out the, check out that and, um, watch out for this
documentary coming out in March, along with my album.
And is there a work of media Chris that you've been enjoying?
My friend, uh, Sam Severin, she's a comedian in Atlanta.
She puts up things that I like.
It's like not hurt.
She mostly retweets, but, um, who was the genius who invented the lip gloss
that hurts you, the lip gloss that makes its process known.
That's not good.
I like that one.
Okay.
Well, that's, that's one of Sam Severin's delivery was unbelievable.
That would be a great standup person to get up there and reading from your notes app.
Here's that.
Saying something really funny.
But they're jokes that kill.
But yeah, they're jokes that kill, but the delivery is so fucked up.
I guess I'm too old to understand what that even fucking means.
Uh, but anyway, Sam Severin, follow Sam Severin at waitress boner.
She retweets great stuff and she also tweets great stuff, but I don't know
what, why I just don't, I don't know how to read tweets or whatever.
Yeah.
There you go.
Yeah.
Well, I enjoyed the hell out of it.
I think, I think the inflection was perfect.

of Florida.

Or stay with his relatives in Miami?
