Starting point is 00:00:00 Dana Lash's absurd truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. So Rick Derringer has passed away, age 77, and a lot of you reminded me of this, or brought this up to me because my granny's rule of three. And Rick Derringy, you guys know that. He was, he did a lot, I mean, he had a lot of stuff, obviously this song, and then, of course, hang on Sloopy, which was about a boat, all kinds of good stuff. But past 77 years old. that's just it's like because he doesn't seem I don't know it just doesn't seem like he's like 77 years old
Starting point is 00:00:35 a lot of these like rock music they don't seem like they you know I don't know unless you're uh what's his face rolling stones keith uh Richards unless you're Keith Richards welcome back Dana Lash with you at the bottom of this second hour so wait a minute remind me because everyone's like is it so many people have been sending me dead people names like oh this is your granny's rule of three rule of three here for Granny. How is, is it? Now, Steve, you said the same thing. So Rick Derringer makes three. Remind me the other two. Can't help me out here.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Hold on. I know it was counting in my head, but I don't remember the first two. All right. Let's see. So the latest, man, we'd have to look up the latest because when it comes to a celebrity desk, you have the question, and we've had that question the past couple of weeks. Are these people celebrities?
Starting point is 00:01:25 Like the one guy that. It has to be like in a certain period of time. Yeah. So does George Brandt from cheaters come into this? Yes, George Went. Oh, sorry. George Went is one. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Norm is number one. So Derringer would be two, but who's the third one? Because everyone's like, oh, this is Greenie's Rule of Three. I'm like, okay, well, okay, who then? Didn't we just have, so that member of Congress that just passed away? Was it Connolly or something? Rangel. Oh, yeah, Rangel also just passed.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Oh, that's another one that just passed. So that would be three. Wait, if there's another one, then that starts over. That's happening to Congress. Who? who do we who else do we have Ruth Buzzy Okay so Ruth Buzzy
Starting point is 00:02:03 So so we have Rick Derringer Oh my gosh All the dead people Derringer Who else did I just say Oh my gosh
Starting point is 00:02:14 We can't forget Phil Robertson George Went Phil Robertson Phil Robertson That's three And then we have Ruth Buzzy So that's
Starting point is 00:02:24 We need two more Otherwise Those are rules. I didn't make on my grandmother did. Okay, I was going Duck Dynasty there. So that would have been three for me. Okay. So I think two more got to go.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Ooh, that's kind of scary. Who's on the, who's, uh, who's on the Deadpool? Just, well, I'm being, it's, okay, for those of you who don't understand this, my grandmother, God rest her soul was a very suspicious lady, superstitious lady, also suspicious. and she had a everybody always dies in threes and it always made sense and it always does it that is the way that it works i don't know i don't make the rules at least to me that's the way it works so anyway uh with the inclusion of ruth buzzy because you have derringer went derringer went uh robertson and then you would have buzzy rangel charley wrangell so basically
Starting point is 00:03:21 one more didn't david souter didn't he pass so that would well how long so So what's the length of time? Because May 7th... Usually like within a month. Okay, so on May 7th, that movie actor, Joe Don Baker... I don't know who that is. It doesn't count for me. What?
Starting point is 00:03:35 No, he doesn't count for me. He's like a staple in all the 80s and early 90s movies. Not for me. He passed away. See, this is where it gets weird. I don't know. I don't know that, so I don't think it... We need a standard then.
Starting point is 00:03:46 We need a standard that tells us. I mean, the fact that you had to... Do you know who that guy is, Steve? No, I don't mean to be dismissed. He grew up in taxes, which is why. I don't mean to be dismissive, but it's, you know, if they're not widely known, I don't think it counts. Here, I'll just put, how do you not recognize this, dude? You're asking me, I don't, because I don't.
Starting point is 00:04:04 It's like, I've seen him in all kinds of movies. I, I, I, he looks kind of familiar, I don't know. He looks like an old Jesse Plemons. I don't know. That's Kirsten Dunst's husband. So, I don't know. I think Souter maybe makes it three, so it would have to start all over. I mean, that's everybody knows him.
Starting point is 00:04:22 He's SCOTUS, so everybody knows him. So I think that, so as long as nobody else kicks off. So no matter what, we're in a new group. Yeah, we're going to be starting a new group no matter what. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. So just so we're all, we've got to make sure, right?
Starting point is 00:04:36 Because we're all looking around like, who's going to drop? Who's going to? I don't want to be mean, but, you know, as we move, our partners that will bring you the program. It's our friends at Caltech, a great Florida-based company. And they do a lot of really good stuff over at Caltech. the PR 57 is like butter it's a rotary barrel pistol it's chambered in 57 40% lighter than any competition it's perfect for concealed carry as a 57 and it's you know they created the concealed carry category in 1995 with the first of its kind and now they've redefined it groundbreaking new pistol chambered
Starting point is 00:05:14 in 57 it is the latest from george cullgren mad scientist sets a new standard and lightweight design It was such a hit at Shot Show. I had to get one for myself. I love it. It shoots like a dream. It's really like a fun gun to take out of the range. Innovative rotary barrel helps to contribute to make it the lightest 5-7 out there, 40% lighter than the next. It has a unique top-loading design that replaces the traditional magazines with actual stripper clips for a slimmer carry profile, and you've got a 20 plus-1 capacity.

Starting point is 00:06:07 Tell them Dana sent you. Of course we should be talking about how, yeah, if, you know, Speaker Johnson got his way, it wouldn't be possible, not just for gay people who get married, but for straight people to get divorced, let alone like birth control or how he would want to regulate porn or whatever people, most people would have a problem with. But what the hell is he talking about? I mean, if Speaker Johnson got his way,
Starting point is 00:06:35 all the gay people would be just illegaled. He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer guys. It's the former mayor's secretary, new mom, vice admiral of the canoe fleet over at Camp Wimpitanka. Poot Booty Juice. Don't, don't critic, wait, hold up, don't criticize how I say his name because our former illustrious president who had all of his brain cells, all of them. That's how he said his name.
Starting point is 00:07:03 And that's the gold standard by which I operate, ladies and gentlemen. Dana Lash with you, welcome back. We're at the bottom of this first hour. He says that it's, they should, that Johnson was, he was going to make it to where gay people couldn't do anything and straight people couldn't get divorced and yeah I don't I don't know what he's basing that off of imagine like you just do a live stream and say whatever the hell you can you imagine if I actually took to air not knowing anything about which I was discussing and just rambled and just incoherently pulled stuff out of the ether just to suit whatever you know yeah I would be held I mean they go with me all the time I've been on air for three hours every day for years I have a beat reporter assigned me at media matters Yes, they would find out something if I said anything incorrect. If they don't even like it, they go after me. I mean, to hell with it being incorrect.
Starting point is 00:07:58 But if you're a Democrat, you can just, yeah, well, Mike Johnson's going to make all the, he's going to illegal all the gays and that. And the straight people, they can't get divorced or have white claws. It's going to be so bad. You imagine having a Fourth of July with no white claws so bad. But that's what it's like listening to him. Every time he opens his mouth to give a perspective, it's like drunk without the alcohol. It's what you feel like.
Starting point is 00:08:27 So if you've never had a drop, it feels like that. You're listening and you're like, am I sober? Is this supposed to make sense? I don't know. It's what it feels like. But, you know, he's trying to get, he's working hard on behalf of the Dems because guys, they're going to have to, they're going to have to try to talk to dudes. you know the party that was like toxic masculinity is now going wait but wait we messed up oops that's where they're at right now so they said that they're spending 20 million dollars
Starting point is 00:08:59 trying to connect with dudes by studying their syntax s Y N TX yeah whatever that means that's what they they want to do uh audio sound bite nine listen to this this is this is one strategist literally saying exactly this. Yeah, good questions. One, let me save the folks from the Times and all the other great, you know, print outlets sometime. If you dig in on what Democrats are researching right now, you're going to find a lot of silly stuff. You're going to find people asking a lot of questions, people asking about syntax and do I drop the G from this word and this and that, and it's going to be a lot of that. So let me just warn everybody. That process is going to be very obnoxious for this 40-something.
Starting point is 00:09:44 I would also say, we're really talking about young men, right? Young men who Democrats have not figured out a consistent pitch for how to get them. They're toxic, and then women can be men. I mean, you know, you guys have kicked them around for the better part of 40 years, whether it was the Title IX stuff, whether it was promoting women over men in the name of false equality, whatever it was, you guys have attacked dudes for endlessly for forever. Toxic masculinity, dudes that are young. Young Gen Z are terrified to even date chicks because of everything that the left has done.
Starting point is 00:10:21 So, yeah, $20 million they think is going to help Band-Aid that error. So after impugning their characters, again, for the better part of 40 years, now Democrats are going, wait, we messed up, hold up. Here's an excerpt. For now, Democratic donors and strategists have been gathering at luxury hotels to discuss how to win back working class voters, commissioning new projects that read like anthropological studies of people from faraway places. The prospectus for one new $20 million effort obtained by the Times aims to reverse the erosion of democratic support amongst young men, especially online.
Starting point is 00:11:01 It's codenamed Sam, short for speaking with American men, a strategic plan, and promises investment to, quote, study the syntax, language, and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces. And it recommends buying advertisements in video games, amongst other things. All they know is that younger dudes play games. And they're like, something, something games. You can't just buy an ad. You know why the Democrats have not been successful in that in gaming? Because they don't play them. And Republicans haven't been successful because there are a bunch of damn cowardly tipper gores who want to put explicit lyrics on everything. these people that attack video games
Starting point is 00:11:44 oh my gosh it's like I'm watching tipper gore 2.0 for the love no that you can't fake it you cannot fake it you're either in that community or you're not that's not one that is not a community
Starting point is 00:11:57 that you can fake it with but what is this to study the syntax what does that mean Cain what the hell does that mean what does it even mean that's the language they want to hijack it they want to understand it but they're acting like they're foreign
Starting point is 00:12:11 Like species. Right. Like we have to talk like these aliens. How you do, fellow kids? Why, hello, fellow male. They tried that once with that ad. Remember that ad where that, uh, they all look like rapists. They all look like soft rapists.
Starting point is 00:12:28 That Democrat ad that they were, whoa. Oh, man, hang on, hang on, hang on. Their version of masculine. Yeah, yeah, I'm a masculine man or something like that. What? Oh, da-da-da-da-da-da. is this is this it oh i gotta find it no there's one where it's the voting one they came out with one ad where it was like men that were bullying their women into voting and then there was the one
Starting point is 00:12:51 where you had this one guy who he looked like a bottom and he was sitting on a truck going i'm a manly man i'm like no you're not no you're not you're not you've only the only person who probably buys more lube than you is ditty no you're not you know what ad i'm talking about though i'm sorry I can't just now and every single dude in that ad they looked it was they were all terrifying that was the
Starting point is 00:13:15 attempt that they had I guess at trying to talk to dudes and it horrified dudes yes the that ad that Steve just put on there yes that is it that is the ad that is literally it and I mean again
Starting point is 00:13:33 it's also the party that had David Hogg as their vice chair yeah they had those weird out like I like steak. I'm a man. Men like bourbon. Therefore, I like bourbon. So you're going to think I'm a man.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Like you guys, Juan's putting it up for you. My favorite was the guy who was sitting like a pageant queen on the back of a truck. Yeah. And then you have the one guy. I can't believe that they got these lines out without laughing to death. I think he actually said, I eat trannies for breakfast. If you remember that line, he said, I eat trannies. Yeah, it was the guy in the cowboy head.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I eat trannies for breakfast. Rare. Man enough to deadlift. 500, you bring the shit out of my daughter's head. You think I'm afraid to rebuild a carburetor? I eat carburetors for breakfast. Oh, you use caribrated bears. That's what beer hugs are before.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Like the one guy in the orange shirt, he's sitting like a pageant queen. That guy looks like he beats his wife. That guy looks like that guy right there. And then who's the prospector? Where the hell does this guy come from? They just got me out of the valley. I was prospecting for gold. But this is what?
Starting point is 00:14:32 I mean, and look, he ripped his sleeves off. You know, he went to like urban outfiters and got that shirt. that guy his arms went but this guy right here who can I just say what man sits like this I mean it's rhetorical but none of them do look at him he's like tweaking
Starting point is 00:14:48 this guy I sit like that he's in an orange polo and he's sitting on the back of a truck and he's turned and he's got his hands on his leg like he's a pageant queen and he's like oh you better believe I'm a man
Starting point is 00:15:01 or I'm going to beat you that's his whole aura is that guy I'm going to beat you vibes from that well yeah like I don't know silence of the lambs and puts the lotion in the basket he's totally giving me those vibes
Starting point is 00:15:14 I said a little like that and then you got like the DMX want to be who's sitting there like I'll braid the whatever out of my daughter's hair and I'm just like shut up what is the matter with you no dudes talk like this they just do it right I mean if you have to sit here and tell people that you're a manly dude
Starting point is 00:15:28 men know this men are men know immediately that you're not and Democrats are like the prospector kills me every time I see him because the shirt is just over the top. God love him. But I'm just trying to understand why Democrats think that they have to spend
Starting point is 00:15:45 $20 million, because I'm pretty sure this ad was several million dollars. How much do you think that ad was to make, Kane? Those are all actors. From a production standpoint? It looks about, what, $8,000. Probably get that done with about $8,000. Because there's no names in it, so you're not paying them much at all.
Starting point is 00:16:01 So maybe $15,000. Totally looks like California that they were in. But they probably spent a million on this. It's like $15,000 production. They had it well in that ripped off shirt for the prospector. They had to go, you know, they had to go probably get him that shirt at Urban Outfitters. They gave him nuggets, gold nuggets. He got so mad his sleeves just poof, came right off.
Starting point is 00:16:22 They shot out the side, like projectiles and that guy. That guy was the meanest, one of them all. But this is what Dems, my point is that Dems did this ad, this guy right here. Look at his sleeves. I'm sorry, that's fake. Why do you cut yourself? Why do you just like put a wife beater on, man? They paid him in mining equipment
Starting point is 00:16:39 I bet he hates himself now You know that and the way that he moved That dude's an actor And I'm all for it But if you're gonna wear a shirt like that I feel like you know After we lost Joan Rivers I feel like I need to rise to that occasion
Starting point is 00:16:51 And fill that need from time to time The best way that I can Knowing that I'm nowhere in your clothes To her brilliance But someone's got to step in and talk about this Like the hell I see that And I'm like what happened to your sleeves Did your muscles get so mad
Starting point is 00:17:04 They blew them off? Like what happened? I don't get it. Stop. That guy's an actor. They're all actors. Like there was an article that talked about how they were all hired from an agency. None of these people are real. This guy probably never read a damn bike in his life. And he's like, I'm working on my bike.
Starting point is 00:17:18 And he's got his, you know, he probably don't even know what his tools are. The whole point is that Democrats tried this before. They spent, they did this ad. They did like three ads last cycle. And how did they show men? The first one was they did an ad where they were trying to show conservative men, Republican men. Like they were going to beat their wives if they did. if they didn't vote for Trump, right, for the love?
Starting point is 00:17:40 And then, then they're like, well, I guess we better walk it back. We need to appeal to men instead of, I guess, making them look like they're horrible people. And so they did this ad that made them look like they're horrible people. The most unlikable actors. It's like they went to the agency. Yes, give me the most unlikable actors you have. I want women to flinch when they see them on the screen. That's what I want.
Starting point is 00:18:01 That's what we're going for. Yes, Kane? I think they literally thought, let's get across. section of what we think maga looks like and we're going to message that way like we're going to message as though we're reaching out to the maga crowd i mean it's just so shallow yes i can deadlift this and then i can braid my daughter's hair like one excludes the other i don't think he quite understand the concept of chivalry oh my gosh it just i can't stand this so they're spending 20 million 20 million donor dollars let me let me clarify that so democrats
Starting point is 00:18:37 get donations. So the people who have been donating to the Democrat Party, whatever Brain Trust brought you those ads, those are the people that are going to be trying to refine their messaging to dudes. Oh, this is, I want them to, no, you want them to do this. We want them to do this. I'm just, picture it. Content gold. Oh my gosh, we're going to make so much fun of this. It's going to be insane. And if they, and if they have Secretary Newmom, Vice Admiral of the canoe fleet, Rear Vice Admiral of Canoe Fleet Campo Whipitonka? Yeah, yeah, yeah, booty juice.
Starting point is 00:19:13 If they have him spearheading this, oh, please, for the love of all things, holy, let this happen. I don't ask for a lot, no, hold up. I asked for a Dotson for my birthday, and I didn't get one. So at least give me the, and I asked it for WIC, my rescue dog. I was like, he needs a dog. It makes so much, because he does, wink. He does.
Starting point is 00:19:30 I didn't get that. So can I have this? Can I have this? Mother's Day was last month, like earlier this. month. It's not over yet. I can still get like a belated Mother's Day. So this could happen and we could see, have poop booty juice leading this and the messaging would be endless. Oh my gosh, guys. Like I am here for the summer of, of sis. I am totally here for that. I've said for years now that our media is just garbage. Legacy Press is garbage. How does the average person know if a news story,
Starting point is 00:20:00 if the source is accurate or if it's biased? Ground news can be a great solution for that. Ground news can show you the stories and the sources of the day, and then they give you details about their sourcing, how reliable the reporting is and who owns them, and keep you fully informed on any potential political or motivational leanings. So, for instance, you could use ground news to read about the Trump administration, suing the state of Maine over participation of transgender athletes in girls' sports. The Huffington Post said, quote, Trump's newest political power grab is targeting Maine. The Toronto Sun said, quote, DOJ is to sue Maine over trans women competing in female sports. So same story, but two very different headlines. Is it a
Starting point is 00:20:42 power grab by the president or is it in the hands of the DOJ? You can sign up for your ground news account today and get access to the mobile app, the website, the browser extension, and exclusive newsletter so you can stay informed on the news and the bias.

Starting point is 00:21:35 defended himself, defended his life, because guns saved lives. Officers were called Saturday. They said the men approached the victim assaulted him, knocked him to the ground. When they, one of the assailants kept assaulting the victim, the other one was trying to get in the car. And that's when the victim drew a gun and pointed it at them. The assailants ran off. He has a valid permit.
Starting point is 00:21:58 It was treated at the scene. I don't even think you need a permit. If you have to ask your permission, are you really free? But the Baltimore City Councilman said that I spoke with the victim. for the attack. He was an older person. Somebody, clearly he was dressed in attire right after exiting synagogue. And so they said it was very upsetting. Yes, because this keeps happening. This keeps happening over and over again. Walmart was fine for shipping realistic toy guns to New York violating their stupid state law. It's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. They said that they can't
Starting point is 00:22:29 look, they can't sell anything, any toys that look like real weapons, regardless that they have an orange cap on. And they have really weird third laws up there. They said that the retail giant's online store shipped them to the state and that they, they resemble deadly weapons and they have to pull them off. They don't actually. They're literally, they have orange caps on, orange caps on. They don't look like, oh my gosh. And they said even toy guns, they have to be made either totally translucent, transparent, and have bright colors. okay well i'm just going to make a clear gun that's uh i'm just saying it's so stupid oh my gosh uh let's see this oh uh a port townsen suspect climbed an 80 foot tree to evade deputies he stood up there for
Starting point is 00:23:16 eight hours he was up in the tree for eight hours how do you now hold up that is actually quite impressive i got to be honest with you this guy was wanted on an active escape warrant and he was taken into custody finally but he climbed up an 80 foot 80 feet up into a tree uh they had an eight hour long standoff. And about 9 p.m. they find, well, it was 9 p.m. when they first located him. He was in there all, he was up that tree all night, climbed a large cedar tree, trying to avoid arrest. Like the cops were going to go, okay, I guess we better leave. He's up in the tree. Can't get him. We'll go now. Like, they tried to de-escalate the situation for a couple of hours. They finally got him down and they took him into custody, but still, good heavens.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Open AI software has ignored explicit instruction. to shut off. Yeah, it was a model created by the owner of CHETGPT, and apparently it was caught disobeying human instructions, and it would not power itself off. I've got a lot of questions about this. It was an explicit instruction. They said it's open AI's O3 model.
Starting point is 00:24:23 It sabotaged a shutdown mechanism to prevent itself from being turned off, and it did this even when explicitly instructed to allow yourself to be shut down. I'm telling you, this is how it's, starts. It's already started. Stick with us. All right. So WNBA, they're having troubles with tickets now because I think Caitlin Clark is out for what? How many weeks is she out? She's got, she's rolled out for the June 7th game. That's when she was supposed to meet up with Angel
Starting point is 00:24:49 Reese again and Chicago Sky. And there's a massive drop in ticket sales. She, this is after the take foul that she had on Reese and ended with a shove and she got a flagrant foul and they gave, they gave what Reese and the other Chickafow and I don't know like they I guess she has a left quad strain and she's going to miss at least four games is what they're saying yeah okay and the fourth and final of those games is the game against sky and so they said after her injury was announced so check this out the game on June 7th the tickets were originally $86 same seat's now 25 after her injury was announced so check this out the game on June 7th the tickets were originally $86 dollars same seat's now 25 after her injury injury announcement. That's a 71% drop in price, over 71% drop in price, because she's not going to be in the game. And it's the largest arena in terms of capacity in the NBA. This is where the Bulls play. So they're at the United Center, and that's where Bulls play. And so, wow, can you imagine? And the Sky's home games, they usually do them at WinTrust Arena. And that seats 10,387, the United Center seats, 23,500.
Starting point is 00:26:07 And they announced the venue change back in March because of Clark's popularity. And now she's not going to be there. And the tickets have been slashed. That center is going to be empty. But, you know, racism or something. I don't know. Like I, why are they trying to infuse that? Well, look, Brittany Greiner, who I can't stand.
Starting point is 00:26:26 And I'm sad that she's a Baylor grad. She didn't, wasn't she on the sidelines and didn't she, wasn't she trash talking Caitlin Clark as like a dumb white girl? Yeah. That was the rumor. Well, I mean, that was the lip reading. Audio somebody's 16. Yeah. She called her a trash expletive white girl.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Well, you can watch it and watch her own mouth. She, she's sitting on the sidelines and she's just running her mouth. She's trash, blanking white girl. girl is what she says. All right, let's see this here. Yeah, it's trash, white girl. Trash. Blanking white girl is what she says. Yeah, she said that. Hey, why don't you go try to do some more pot over in Russia
Starting point is 00:27:10 and then we have to get your dumb ass by trading a weapons, a warlord, a weapons merchant in exchange. Just absolute trash. It's a shame that she's a Baylor grad. so I don't know why they're trying to make it well I mean apparently Griner and others seem like they're trying to make it about racism can you imagine if like Caitlin Clark was like oh trash blinking black girl can you imagine oh my gosh dude I don't want to I hate that it's that the left and that race hustlers do this because they think that there's a scarcity of opportunity I really want Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark to be friends like I would love it and I'm normally not like this but I would love it if years from now they're like actually we were BFFs the whole time and we just had this whole rivalry thing but I I feel like even if it kind of big maybe even began that way I still think they're super highly competitive women but everybody else on the periphery is trying to make it real nasty don't you feel like the push is almost coming more from the periphery than like
Starting point is 00:28:16 the two principles in the middle of it it seems like that but a lot of these people are a lot of these players were mad at Caitlin Clark because she's white and she's good. Like, why can't you just be happy that, you know, a rising tide raises all ships? My gosh, no one's asking you to do anything more. You have the opportunity to get paid more just by being adjacent to that, you know, to her star power and skill. Good heavens. Like, I can't play basketball to save my life.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Love the game. But, I mean, can you imagine? Heck, yeah, I'd sit on the bench with Jordan and I would just like rake in the money, let him play nights in a heck, yes, I would. I mean, come on. but I really I want them to be friends I really want them to be friends but and I'm normally not like this normally I'm like fight fight fight but I think I'm just so tired of hearing everyone on the outside like wasn't there an ESPN commentator who like she was wasn't she trying to argue
Starting point is 00:29:12 that there were like racist things being said by the fans and then the WNBA legit did a whole investigation into it and they're like this is totally unfounded like how embarrassed ever seen if you're a commentator and you were stating that and wmba had released a statement yesterday saying that uh yeah they've they investigated you know all the claims and there's literally nothing that happened they're like it's it's unfounded you know that's it's it's it is not substantiated how isn't that shameful good grief thanks for tuning in to today's edition of dana lash's absurd truth podcast if you haven't already made sure to hit that subscribe button on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast.
