Well, hello, everybody. Welcome in, Josh and Jilly. We have to tell you about Dr. Busby and ToeGrips.com. That is ToeGrips.com with our friend Dr. Busby. And she'll get your pups taken care of with the great Encore Mobility Supplement, which Luther takes every morning. He'll be chomping on those when he's at daycare for the weekend when we're in Florida. But I'll tell you this now. I'll tell you this. Luther's life has changed because of that, and it's awesome, and I'm glad that he has it. But it's not just the Encore Mobility that you find at ToeGrips.com. I mean, you've got the ToeGrips, obviously. You have got the blog. The Dr. Busby blog is legendary. It is second to none. If you have a question, dog related, animal related,

Dr. Busby more than likely has an answer. So, and really it's, I mean, go to the website, toegrips.com. But if you Google an issue with your dog, say like, why is my dog licking his grundle so much? Maybe grundle wouldn't be the right choice of words, but you get my point. I'll tell you what would happen. You're going to probably, within the first handful of sites that pop up, probably going to be Dr. Busby's website because Dr. Busby is the best and Dr. Busby has all the answers. So if I were you, I'd go to toegrips.com, that is toegrips.com, and use the promo code LUTHER, that is L-U-T-H-E-R. If you make a purchase there, if you do, you'll be in good shape because Dr. Busby will knock 10% off. That's right, 10% off at ToeGrips.com.

If you use the promo code LUTHER, that is L-U-T-H-E-R, LUTHER, L-U-T-H-E-R, with Dr. Busby and ToeGrips.com. And you're not going to have to worry about a bunch of terrible ads popping up and everything else. It's just a nice experience. ToeGrips.com, that is ToeGrips.com and Dr. Busby. This is the Josh and his show. Well, howdy, everybody, and welcome in. Josh and Jillian Luther on this Thursday.

And my God, it's a brutal Thursday. Is this the hottest day we've had here? It might be. I don't know. See, next week it's supposed to be actually like a high of 104. Ooh. But not as humid, I guess. Because currently our heat index is like 110.

It was hotter here than in Houston yesterday, which is crazy. Jeez. This whole week has been terrible. It is oppressively hot. And that's everywhere. Like, you know, I'm on the radio in Detroit, and apparently the weather is brutal in Detroit. Like, you know, this week it's been near 100. And then with the heat index, it got to the 105 range.

It is just too damn hot. It's too hot to do anything. Yeah, it's really boring. We are literally just sitting here in our underwear. Both of us are sitting in our MeUndies. Yep, there's nothing else to do anything. Yeah, it's really boring. We are literally just sitting here in our underwear. Both of us are sitting in our MeUndies. Yep, there's nothing else to do. And, I mean, you just sit here and you try not to die from the heat. But see, like, for example,

I know Chicago got really hot yesterday, and then today it's like 92 there. But then, like, the rest of the week it's like 80, 72, 86. Like, I just feel like here it's been five days in a row of this nonsense. Yeah, it sucks and i know our houston people are like shut up but really i don't recall it being this hot in houston and the thing is i grew up in this shit right like i grew up in louisiana so you'd wake up at you know

eight o'clock in the morning on a tuesday in july and you walk outside and you walk into just a curtain of of humidity it sucks like it's not like I haven't experienced this before or lived this life before, but I don't want to live this life. I don't like it. I'm telling you, this is hotter than it's been. We spent a lot of time in Houston. I do not remember it ever being this hot, this long, this humid. Currently in Houston, it's

95, but feels like 101. And here in Old Hickory, it's currently 97 and feels like 108. Feels like 108? Yep. We're on day four of this. I mean, it feels like 1 million, and I know it sounds like we're bitching, and again,

it's a lot of places that's hot. It's not like it's the first time we've ever been hot before. No, but it's just abnormally hot for a very long time. I'm not here for this shit. I did not sign up for this. This is not- Like, even Luther's Daycare is like, keep your dogs at home. Keep them in the air conditioning.

Don't bring them to daycare. It's too hot. You can't do anything. Oh, shit. But here we are, kiddos. Fucking heat, man. It's all I got. My mind is fried. Well, because it's all I got. Like, my mind is fried.

Well, because it's really hot in this room, too, because, again, our house isn't very well insulated, I guess. Is that the word? I think that would be the right word. So when it's cold out, it's cold in here. When it's hot out, it is hot in here. Yeah, it's a hot room. I've got the air set to 74 because I can't just put it on, like, 70

because it would blow constantly, and then we'd blow out the air conditioning. Yeah. And even on 74, it's been on pretty much all day. Yeah. What a world. What a wild world. Luther's really bored. He can't go on any walks.

I mean, he's a big fluff ball, so he's going to walk five feet and then be like, nope, I'm out, and then my ass has to pick him up. Well, no, his paws are going to burn the second he touches the concrete. Well, I mean, all of the above. All of the above issues would be an issue. Yeah, he's pretty bored. Yeah, but I mean, what are you going to burn the second he touches the concrete. Well, I mean, all of the above. All of the above issues would be an issue. Yeah, he's pretty bored. Yeah, but I mean, what are you going to do? I don't know.

There's really not much we can do. I tried to play with him in the house, but he's kind of a, he doesn't really do that anymore. Yeah. But anyway, you know, I had an experience today. I was at the gym. Second time this week I've been to the gym, by the way. Look at you, you're back. I'm not trying to brag, but it is the second time I've been to the gym this week.

You going tomorrow? Yep. That's the plan. Then, of course, I'm not going to go Monday or Tuesday. We're out of town. But I'll get back at it Wednesday, and then hopefully that kind of jump starts going. You know, I get it. I'm fat.

It is what it is, but I'm trying to do better. And I say I'm trying to do better. I just ate a piece of cake here at lunch. So maybe I'm not doing better. But at least I went to do better. I just ate a piece of cake here at lunch. And so maybe I'm not doing better. But at least I went to the gym today. That's a start. So I'm doing that two out of three days. And I'm telling you, like once I get into it full throttle, full force, I'm going to feel pretty good.

And I do it like there's a book that I was almost bought. I forget who wrote it. It's an older book, I think. But basically, it takes 21 days to complete their 20 or 21 days to completely change a habit so like if I get going for a couple weeks to the gym I'll go for a couple years or I'll go but once you stop going for a little bit it's hard to jump start it again and that's what it's been like for me with going to the gym but like I enjoy it when I'm there the people are cool I mean you were on a big stretch there for a while where you were going almost five days a week. And I lost weight and I looked decent relative to what I look now.

Life wasn't too terrible. Yeah, you felt better. And then Christmas happened. And here we are six months later and you're still trying to get back to going to the gym. Christmas gave me the pipe is what happened. Like, the second Christmas rolled around, it was like, you know what? Dunzo. I'm not going in

with drinking shit because remember I wasn't drinking a lot of beer at that point either I was drinking seltzers and like mixed drinks and stuff and now you don't even like seltzers anymore no I don't know what you're gonna do I just started pounding beers around Christmas and that was damn near seven months ago and I have not stopped pounding beers since then but anyway I was at the gym today and um you and I always question like this idea, this notion that like Republicans don't want kids reading books. They want to ban guns. They want to ban books, but keep the guns. And I'm like, well, that's, that's hogwash. That's phooey is what that is. Oh, it's true. But I was sitting there in the, uh, I was in the gym and I was going to tie in my

shoes, getting ready to go. And there was this portly lady. And she was in the middle of her workout. She was talking with somebody else in there. And they were talking about school, I guess. And this woman started going off on a book. She's like, my kids have to read this book. And it's about a man that's obsessed with another man. And then there's suicide in it.

They were talking about The picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, which like, if that's what you take away from that book, which is, oh, there's a dude that's infatuated with the beauty of another man. And you're taking it down the road of like, well, you know what it is? It's because he's gay. And we know we ain't trying to teach our kids to be no homosexuals around here. Like if that's what you take from the portrait of Dorian Gray, like I, I think we might be fucked as a people. We might be fucked because yes, there are a lot of dipshit teachers out here trying to make it about themselves and get Tik TOK famous, right? Like their whole shtick is, um, you know, going on there and trying to instigate and say, why can't I tell my kids in my class about my two-sided dildo or read to them from,

you know, penthouse forum, gay edition. And you're like, well, that's probably not acceptable. And these ladies are like, well, then these people just can't handle it. And I'm going to wave my pride flag. Like there's a shit ton of instigators in there. No question. There's some teachers that fucking suck. And there's a lot of their stuff that's on that libs of TikTok that you go, holy shit, homeschool your kids. That said, these right-wing people aren't making shit much better when like they're like basically because they hate Joe Biden and they hate the liberals so much, they're basically telling books to go fuck themselves is essentially what it is because there is nothing wrong with the picture of Dorian Gray.

And the other book that this woman started talking about was Lord of the Flies she's like yeah I don't know about I was a little uncomfortable with that I'm like ma'am you probably weren't uncomfortable with the insurrection this book is basically about an insurrection you should be fine like you should fauna just imagine that they're rebelling against the liberals there you go like it's just amazing to me like I was sitting there and I wanted to say something you know those moments when you're like you know what I want to jump in and be like well ma'am I read the picture of Dorian Gray probably in sixth grade maybe and I read Lord of the Flies and I'm a highly successful individual and outside of trying to you know watch dad and step-mom fuck on a videotape, I'm a fairly well-rounded individual. That's not some sort of sexual deviant

who decided one day that I read the portrait of Dorian Gray. And now I want to fuck dudes. It didn't turn me gay. I'm totally fine. Everything's cool here. I'm not completely weird, you know? So like, I wanted to say that like, ma'am, I don't know how old your kid is, but if your kid's into dudes, he's probably going to stay into dudes. If he reads that book, if he's into chicks, he's going to stay into chicks. He's not going to read the picture of Dorian Gringo. You know, it sounds tasty right now. Cock. I'd love to have some cock. That's not how it's going to go. But these people are, I mean, we know that both sides are really fucking nuts. We talk about that a lot. Um, and every day there's one person that'll message me and say that I'm a hardcore liberal. The next

day it'll be someone that tells me I'm a wacko Trumper. But, and I get being like, you want to be kind of cautious about some books. Like I've seen some of the pictures they show of like weird stuff that's in some of these books and I get it. Right. But like these people are really kind of bat shit well everyone is yes but we're talking like you did you have to read the picture of dorian gray i don't know it was the one where like the guy makes the does the painting of him and then it's basically about vanity is what dorian gray is about but i remember that one lord of the flies i remember you know we read we had a very um a very detailed book about the holocaust that was written by someone who survived the holocaust and i forgot what the book was but it was a really good book and i think my teacher even brought the guy that wrote it in a holocaust

survivor i mean there's some pretty graphic details in there but i think you kind of need those to a degree and i think we were like in seventh or eighth grade might might've been high school. Even I think that, you know what? I take it back. I think we were in high school, probably ninth grade when we read that. And there was some pretty dark shit in there. Like, you know, that they would boil potatoes and stick them in the lady's vaginas and close their legs like shit like that. And I remember going, holy shit, that's fucked up. But when fucked up shit happens, it's kind of important to get to all the details about the fucked up shit that happened and not sugarcoat it. Right. Right. And I don't see anything wrong with that as long as you're not being salacious. It kind of goes to when Stern back when Stern had testicles, when Stern used to fight the FCC,

they would come back at him when he'd say, well, what's wrong with me saying something about boobs or dicks or whatever. But then Jenny Jones or Ricky Lake goes on TV and it's totally fine for them to say the same shit. And they would say, well, that's educational. They're saying that they're not being titillating. They're not being salacious. You are, you've got a guy playing the piano with his dick. You're being salacious. And I would agree with Stern that that's bullshit, that there's a double standard there. But if we operate in the, in the universe of these, you know, we're like, there's something that kids need to learn and something I'm not against that. You know, like at some point,

you've got to take your bullshit that you have against the liberals or the liberals have against the conservatives and just stop trying to like basically your dick measuring all the time. And what you're, you're ending up with is you look stupid. Cause I think we would all agree that I lean towards, I wouldn't even say conservatism, but I lean towards more of the right wing side of things in the sense that I'm tired of people canceling shit, you know, basically in that politically, I'd say, you know, socially, I'd probably fall more in line with some liberal stuff and that's fine. But we're at a point now where like, I think that the, some of these right wing people, some of them are just stupid that I'm dealing with then I'm just specifically looking at these Republican people

in this and this lady at the gym is the example but they're so stupid that they get so caught up in the Fox News bullshit and they start watching it and before you know it they're trying to cancel shit just because they think the liberals like it so do you now believe that documentary about the lady's grandma who was brainwashed by Fox News? It was her dad. Her dad. Yeah, her dad was. Oh, I'm not disputing that the shit can mess with you. I don't believe that Fox News should get, you know, like this woman spun that documentary like her dad was a totally normal human being and then started watching Fox News and became a wacko. Like your dad, here's what happened to your dad. He got old. You know what happens to most old people? They become conservative Fox News watching wackos. That's kind of how it goes. Like there's a, there's a point where you're normal, normal,

normal. You're kind of free thinking. Then one day you hit a certain age and you're sitting on your couch with four other old people and you're trying to guess Greta Van Susteren's age and you're watching shit and listening to a police scanner. Like there's a certain age you hit that that just happens. And I don't blame Fox news for that. But what happens is you start to get these people that want to fight the other side, just because it's the other side and they're doing it like they're, they're doing all the shit about the drag Queens and we're fighting the drag Queens and the gay stuff and the dicks flopping at the pride parade and they're fighting all that, which is well and good but then when you start like questioning books and you're only doing it because

you think it's gonna you know fuck with the liberals then you're pretty fucked up and i say this is someone who as a uh as a uh a fifth grader i read at an eighth grade level not trying to brag i won a medal and i and I actually won a trophy for it. I was the top accelerated reader at Broadmoor Elementary School. I was in fifth grade and I was reading books on an eighth and ninth grade level. They'd say, you sure you can handle this? I said, librarian lady, give me that shit. What did your dad say about this? Did he come to the ceremony? I don't know if I actually had a ceremony or not, but my guess is he would not have. I don't think my dad cared that I knew how to read at a higher level than other people,

but I was reading mostly biographies. So I would go in and say, hey, I read an Ali biography. I read a Bill Cosby autobiography, or it's actually wasn't an autobiography. It was just a biography, but I read those and I read at a very high level. So I feel like I can speak to this. Like, I think a lot of these people, because they think the liberals are like the pro reading the dirty books, they're going to do everything they can to make any slight thing in a book seem like it's so horrible and it shouldn't be there. And ultimately you're going to hurt your fucking kids with that shit. Like, do I agree that you should, you know, that these teachers shouldn't be in there every fucking day going over shit about being gay. And here's my pride flag and here's my dildo. And I'm going to do this just to piss off the

parents. Those people are assholes. Totally. Like I don't remember going to school and having long class lectures about gay pride and shit. I don't care if you're gay, it doesn't bother me, but like I can see where parents would be like, okay, let's pump the brakes on this and let's go back to history or some other shit. Fine, I get that. I'm cool with it. But then when the other side comes back

and it's, I can't believe that they had him reading this book. Have you guys heard of the picture of Dorian Gray? There's a man that's obsessed with another man in that book. And then there's suicide. Well, friend, you know where else there's suicide? Fucking Romeo and Juliet. Do you have an issue with Shakespeare? I don't, and then there's suicide. Well, friend, you know where else there's suicide? Fucking Romeo and Juliet.

Do you have an issue with Shakespeare? I don't know. I think they did. I thought Romeo and Juliet was another problematic book. Was it? I thought so. Was it? Like, so, I mean, they kill themselves, obviously, at the end.

But also, most of Shakespeare's stuff, if I'm not mistaken, most of his plays feature like ladies in drag and the plays used to be people in drag. So like, do we stop Shakespeare now? Like, like people are so beyond fucked up. It's just, it's nuts how stupid and out of control and how so divided it is. Like speaking of being divided, here's one for you, Jilly. You want to go back? Because it's too mature for middle school children because it has mature themes about sex. Oh, fuck is. Like speaking of being divided, here's one for you, Jilly. You want to go back? Because it's too mature for middle school children because it has mature themes about sex. Oh,

fuck off. Like, come on, man. You know, then you know what? The middle schoolers shouldn't watch Grease either.

There. Grease is nothing but sex. With new pistols, plugs, and shocks, I can get off my rocks and you know that ain't no bragging. She's a real pussy wagon,

Grease Lightning. So let's not watch Grease either and don't have the fifth and sixth graders do a play. My sister at a summer camp one year when she came to visit us was in a like some little dinky version of grease at this kind of daycare and they didn't play the edited versions of the songs so you'd sit there and the kids are doing grease lightning and like some kids up there like with new pistols plugs shocks, I can get off my rocks. You know that ain't no bragging.

She's a real pussy wagon, Grease Lightning. That would not go well today. She got friendly down in the sand. All that shit. But man, like, it's, I mean, like, here's a question for you. This is a red letter date. I don't know if you knew that, Jilly. It's a very significant day in history. Okay. It was on this day, seven years ago, 2015, that Donald Trump made it official

that he was going, that he was serious and he was going to run for president. Oh boy. And I talked about this in Detroit today. Sure, that went well. Well, it didn't go bad because it's one of my favorite things. And what are one of my favorite things to do? What ifs? I love a what if. And the question is, what if Donald Trump on that day said, you know what? I'm not going to run. How would the world be different today?

Would people be happier? Would it be less divisive? Would it be more divisive? Probably less. Oh, I think so too. And I think it'd be less divisive. Although there'd still be issues. Like there'd still be people fighting with each other.

But if Hillary wins, or in the case, let's say he doesn't run, whoever runs against Hillary is going to lose in that situation more than likely. And Hillary becomes the president. I don't think you deal with a lot of the bullshit that you deal with now with, oh my God, these people supported this guy. He's Hitler. And then it forms this big time rift. And the reason why Hillary lost, and it's well documented, she lost because she thought she had no chance to lose. So she didn't really give a fuck. And she's out there calling Trump supporters deplorables. And she's saying these people are pieces of shit. And then slowly, but surely they built an army and they went out and they beat the shit out of her and, uh, and she lost and he became the president.

If Trump never runs and never becomes president, I think that the woke shit is still a thing. And I think that cancel culture is still a thing and probably gets stronger than it was in 2015 because just time did that. I think, I think social media aided in that as well. So I think you'd still kind of find yourself in a position like that, but I don't think it would be as venomous as it is. The liberals who are trying to just destroy everybody and ruin everybody's lives and cancel everybody, they would be a bit happier because they'd have their person, right? And it wouldn't have had four years of Trump just completely mind-fucking them, which he did. He ruined them as a party and as a people. Like,

he destroyed them. He eviscerated them. And that's why they are where they are. I don't know. I find it to be a fascinating conversation. What if, what if Trump never ran at all? You know, what if it never happened? What if Hillary won? Where would we be today? And there'd be some elements that are the same, but I think you'd have a lot of shit that would be different. And I think that it wouldn't be as, I say nasty, and that's not to defend her or the liberals because they're scummy too. A of them are but i would say that there wouldn't have been the outrage that there was and then the liberals may not have really dug deep into the well white people are terrible and racist and the if you voted for trump you're a piece of shit like it wouldn't have gotten to that and i don't think it would be as tense as it is now who knows maybe BLM never happens

because if Trump's not in office a lot of these police shootings and shit you see maybe they're not covered as much because they don't want to make Hillary look bad so they just bury these type of things maybe BLM never comes to be maybe you know and Kaepernick started before Trump was president and I think BLM started before Trump was president. True, but maybe it wouldn't have gone to the extremes that it is now. You know what I'm saying? I think that there would have been potentially a different universe that wouldn't be as like, if you voted for this person, you're a cocksucker.

If you voted for this person, you're on the right side. And that's it. I don't think, obviously, the right wing, left wing news stuff and websites and podcasts, who knows how big any of them would be. I don't know, but it's a fascinating discussion. Like I love what ifs. We've talked about this many times. What ifs are one of my favorite thing to do. And I, what if Trump on this day, seven years ago, just said, eh, fuck it. I don't want to do this. I enjoy my life. Got a hot piece of ass at home. I've got money. I've got Mar-a-Lago. Things are fine. This was fun. I appreciate you guys supporting me. If he would have gone Brewster's millions

with it and was like, I didn't even really want to be president. I never did. So I'm sorry. And that's that. Like, what if that were the case? I don't think that we would be as miserable. I don't think Biden would have ended up the president. Right. Because we'd probably, I think what would have happened is, and I don't know who would have ran in 2020 for the Republicans, but I think Hillary probably would have been one term. And maybe, maybe she gets beaten by a right-wing person because after four years, the right-wing people would have been fed up with it.

And I think there would have been a shift. I wouldn't have viewed her as a two-termer, but who knows? But it is interesting. And that was seven years ago. Seven years ago. Today's what, the 16th. So seven years ago on the 16th of June. The world was changed forever.

It was. And it fucked a lot of us that don't give a shit about politics, but it forced us to choose a side and just be fucking miserable. And know that if you say one thing positive about one side, that means that you're against the other side and you're a piece of shit and should be fine. And remember before that, I mean, Trump was hosting SNL. He was hanging out with rappers like Trump was the cool guy. Well, remember, it was right around that time that we were in because he was running at the time and we were in Philly. I think it was in like

November or December that he hosted SNL in 2015. and that was kind of the first kind of thing where people were like oh I'm uncomfortable with this guy hosting because he's a racist and a bigot and all that shit and that's when it all started and that's kind of when it all went to hell but yeah I mean I look you know this you you and I both I mean I voted for Trump I voted for Trump the second time not the first time I didn't vote for anybody when he ran the first time uh I did vote for him the second time. And if the two choices came up again, I would still vote for him that second time over Biden, because I think Biden's a useless sack of shit. And I think most people think that Biden is a useless sack of shit. Like what fascinates me is like, you know, I go fill up the Sonata the other day,

the Sonata, it wasn't empty. I was shacking it. So it had about, I think a lot of us are shacking it now. Cause yeah, you just can't, you can't stomach letting it go down to empty. Cause you know, if you fill it up on empty, it's going to cost a hundred dollars. And even though you're going to pay that same amount, just, you know, you're stopping at the gas station more. Correct. I don't want to, you know, I'd rather put $40 in than 85 and actually 40 would be low because the other day we had about a fourth of a tank left. That was about 80 something miles until empty. I put, uh, I, I put like two 10th or two fourths of a tank in. So when I was done,

I was at about three fourths and that shit cost me 50 bucks just to put, uh, two fourths and that shit cost me 50 bucks it's insane just to put put uh two fourths put half a tank so like and that's what's weird to me about the way people do this shit is like i don't know how you defend biden like basically these guys fight for all this dumb shit that ultimately like hey cool but none of us really care it doesn't impact us. Like yesterday, I saw something where Biden was like, hey, nobody's done more for LGBTQ and shit than I have or whatever. I'm like, that's super. I'm happy for you. People can feel free to go flop their cocks out on the street for pride parade. Great. You're a wonderful human. Now, for all of us, including the gays and the transgenders and the pansexuals and everybody else, what can you do to not make us put $5.50 a gallon in the car? How do you fix that?

Because that's how you impact everybody, dickhead. You love to get up there and talk about minorities, and I do more for blacks, and I do more for the gays and the lesbians. That's great. I don't give a fuck. How can you get to a point where we're not paying $5 a gallon for fucking gas and where people have fucking, there's a tampon shortage and there's a fucking shortage of milk and there's a shortage of baby formula and all this shit.

And all you can talk about is pander to the fucking gay people. Like, great. They're gay. They blow each other. It's wonderful. I have a lot of gay friends, but give me a fucking break. Tell us how you're going to impact everybody, including the gays and make shit better.

So we're not blowing all of our money on this shit. The argument you'll get from most people on Twitter is like, this isn't Biden's fault. This has nothing to do with who's president. Educate yourself. Oh, fuck off. So they will defy,

defend him. You know, like this is not his fault. No one, it's not his fault. He didn't cause this. Any president in this situation would have gas prices this high. Well, last time I checked, it wasn't that long ago that we were paying

like $2 a gallon. When we would see $2.80 at the gas station, we'd go, holy shit, they're gouging. Yep. Now you drive by and it's $5.50. Yep. That's what impacts real fucking people. Not these rich motherfuckers that ride around in their electric cars and tell you, hey,

let's go. I think everybody should just get an electric car. Well, I think you should go fuck yourself is what I think. Because I don't want your fucking electric car. And most of us aren't going to go out there and drive a fucking Tesla like you are. So tell me how I can go out and I can get some fucking gas in my car and not have to spend $75 to put half a tank in a fucking Sonata. Or groceries. I used to go shopping. When I'd go grocery shopping at HEB, like I loved it.

It was one of my favorite activities to do during the week. Now I don't even do like a big shopping trip like once a week because it's too much money. Like we go to Kroger probably like three times a week just to pick up one thing for dinner. Like, okay, let's get this today. Let's get this today to make. Like I used to just go to HEB on a Tuesday. I'd get dinner for like the rest of the week, spend maybe like 85 bucks. I was good. Now it's like you go for three things at Kroger. You've spent about $50 somehow. And now we're sitting here. Good news,

guys. You're paying $5.50 for a gallon of gas. And Jilly was lucky to find the last box of fucking tampons yesterday. I did. I sure grabbed that last box though. Oh, see all that. But the good news is guys, George Washington university is no longer going to be called the colonials because the colonials came in and fucked up the indigenous people and took their land. Therefore we can't accept that. Therefore we are no longer calling them the fucking colonials. This is the shit we're concerned about. Fix like the gas, fix all this other shit. The price. Even Luther, he's got these little toppers, like these little blue buffalo toppers. They used to be like $1.99.

Went to Target yesterday. They were $3.29 for each pack. Oh, but the good news is, hey, good news. The gay folks can go out and swing their dicks around at the pride parade, and you can go to the fucking, you can feel safe. George Washington University is a safe space now because the team's no go to the fucking the cult you can feel safe george washington university is a safe space now because the team's no longer called the fucking colonials i had to pay 4.99 for a bottle of heinz 57 for you i'll ration that shit little drops of it on the steak

little tiny find any anywhere near as many caesar flavors as you used to for luther and that's what and like let me go to this colonials thing for a second, right? These people are like, they're like, they're stupid. And it bothers me that I'm forced to live in the same orbit as these people and that we breathe the same air. It bothers me because these same people who would bitch that, oh my God, it's offensive that the team's called the colonials. Did you see what the colonials did to the indigenous people? Well, number one, no offense to the fucking indigenous people, but maybe you should have fought a little bit better and the motherfuckers wouldn't have come over here and taken all your goddamn land. Hey,

there's an idea. Fight back. Like that's how war works, right? People come over, they try to fight you. Then it's upon you to beat them. And if not, whatever. And by the way, that's not how I would urge you to do things in your everyday life, but it was what the fucking 1700s, nothing that happened in the 1700s is like anything that happens now, but people love to talk about the 1700s as if it was yesterday. That's number one. Number two, let's say that you're so George Washington university is in DC. The DC area is what it's Maryland and Virginia mostly, right? That's like the D.C. metro area, parts of Virginia, parts of Maryland. Those are fucking colonies.

Virginia and Maryland were colonies. Therefore, if you're offended by the idea that the team mascot, the team name of George Washington University is the Colonials, then you certainly have to be offended by the idea that you're living in the fucking colonies that they colonized. So there's one solution here, kids. You need to get the fuck out of Dodge and move somewhere else where you're not living on land that was stolen by a bunch of white sons of bitches. There's an idea. Leave. And also, you know what I think you should feel bad about as well?

You should feel bad about finding yourself in a position where you're breathing air that used to be breathed by the indigenous people. Here would be my advice to those people, because you're taking air from the indigenous people, their spirit. Hold your breath. Like like suck in a bunch of it, hold it, and never release that air. That's the only answer. That is the only air. And when you do that, it'll probably go black, but still don't open your mouth or breathe through your nose. Just fade to black and everything will be okay. It's like these people don't understand like, like, listen, I'm not some expert on 1776 or the 1800s, but I kind of have a basic concept of how shit works. And my guess is that America wasn't the only place that was fucking founded by people

who came over and said, Hey, fuck you. We're taking your land. It was the 1700s. It's not like there was great decorum out there. You go out there, it's a land rush. You're trying to find your own shit and make your own way. It's not really that difficult. But people talk like, oh boy, did you see? It's like these self-loathing white dickheads in this country. Get the fuck over it or leave. Like if you are so appalled by signs and names of buildings at colleges and mascots at colleges,

here's what I would urge you to do. Because this country is obviously never going to be good enough for you because you're a perfect human being. Just fucking leave. Go to Saudi Arabia. Go to China. Go somewhere. Go to Korea. There you go.

Just get the fuck out. Like, I'm not one of these, hey, if you don't love it, leave it type people, because there are things that are wrong with America, and you can complain about them, sure. But if all you've got is, oh my God, this country was founded by people who came over and killed the indigenous people, and it was terrible. Yeah, it's pretty fucking terrible. I can't fucking do anything about it, and neither can you. We're here.

And guess what? If those motherfuckers didn't come over there and kill the indigenous people, you wouldn't be here on your little internet today to bitch about it. So what would you rather not be here at all or be here in a place that, oh my God, the indigenous people were taken out by the colonials. My fucking God. Get over yourselves. Like at some point, and I say this all the time, at some point we have just got to start telling people to fuck off when they bitch about stuff. Tell them to fuck off. I tell them to pound sand. Like I keep waiting for that to happen. We keep saying like at some point, like the world's going to wake up and just be like, Oh, go fuck yourself. One day it's got to happen.

I'm still waiting. We've been saying this for years. Somebody's got to happen i'm still waiting we've been saying this for years somebody's somebody's got to come out and say you know what go fuck yourself like when people bitch about the name of a university say you know what if you know if you're offended by it then just fucking leave but get over yourself when someone bitches about a coke commercial coke needs to respond by saying oh hi i'm mr coca-cola eat a dick that's what people need to start saying it would be so much better if we just told whiners to fuck off. When these parents go to the school and say, how dare you have my kid reading Lord of the Flies? Turn around and ask them, hey, did you ever read Lord of the Flies?

No, I don't read. Then fuck you. There's an idea. Like, I just want more people to tell dipshits to fuck off. Keep waiting for that turn, but. I can't, hey, get this guy off the air. Can you believe that he was making fun of Truth Social? Oh, hi, what's your name?

I'm Billy. Well, hi, Billy. I'm Jonathan, the program director at 105.9 The Rock. Oh, cool, Jonathan, you gonna do anything? Yeah, I'm gonna tell you to fuck off. And then I'm gonna fuck your ugly wife in front of you for good measure. That's what we need more of.

Just tell people to fuck off. What does Scotty always say? Build a bridge, get over it. That's what Scotty always says. Words to live by from old Scotty Ennis. Build a bridge, get over it. But nobody can do that. They can't build a bridge and get over it.

They just fucking whine and they keep whining because they're the squeaky wheel and the squeaky wheel gets the grease so why stop bitching if they're going to keep doing things because you're telling them to or asking them to then hell you might as well keep going see what else you can get well yeah no one's telling them no and they haven't and they're not going to that's the problem if you tell one person no if someone actually does say okay go fuck yourself then what happens is that one person gets a group together on the internet organizes a rally organizes a protest and then before you know it people are boycotting your company here's what should happen like when this this person

complained and the whole world started complaining about that lizzo song and it was about how uh it was uh insensitive with the word spaz. Yep. She should have responded to the person with cerebral palsy and say, hey man, I'm sorry I got cerebral palsy. Glad you like my music. But I'm going to do something that all these other pussies in the world won't do because they don't want to treat you like an equal, like a normal person.

I'm going to treat you like a normal person. Person with cerebral palsy, I don't give a fuck what you think. That's what Lizzo should have said Right there on the internet For the whole world to see Yeah but if she would have done that Then everyone would have turned on her Like oh she's so mean to her fans And now like because

Again now she's being like glorified as a hero And being what's right in the music industry And there should be more artists like Lizzo Who are willing to listen And learn Well I'll tell you this Lizzo should have told that person With cerebral palsy to fuck off

then she would have ended her career don't care it would have been worth it it'd been powerful she should have said you know what kid i'm sorry that you got cp i'll do whatever i can to help you but i'm not going to change the song i wrote because you're offended by some word that i didn't even know was offensive so cerebral palsy kid fuck you well twitch knew it was offensive it banned it in the chat yesterday because twitch is for pussies um god there's there's just so much um we were watching the uh the program that i really enjoy the one about the kids with autism that go out on dates and stuff you say kids well i mean something there i mean okay sorry they're adults i mean some of them are adults i don't know why I keep saying kids. Well, some of them are in their early 20s, so they're relatively young, I guess.

But they're all going out on dates and stuff. So what I did yesterday, because there's a lot of stories you read about this, and they're like, well, it's kind of offensive that they continue to do this. It's kind of offensive, and I think they're exploiting. It's exploitive is what this is. And I think it must stop. And so I, uh, I reached out to Emily, my sister, whose son trip is autistic. I said, Emily, do you watch love on the spectrum? She says, yeah, I watched the UK version. It's so good. I go, well, it's all I need to know. I don't feel bad. Now, not only does she have a autistic son, she also now works with autistic kids. She's like a teaching assistant. And she's, I think,

getting her full-on teaching degree so she can continue to teach autistic kids. Yeah. So if there was anyone who would be offended or felt that these people were being exploited, you would think it would be Emily.

But as it turns out, that's not the case. She thinks it's cute. So therefore, that's all I need to do as i need to go to my sister and say is this offensive nope well good i'll talk to you in another four months um but yeah oh one more thing before remember too there was a good thing while we're on the autism thing remember there was also a movement of people saying that the puzzle piece which is kind of like the now universal sign for autism yeah but that was offensive. Why is it offensive? I forget now because people are really angry about

it. I'm going to see if I can find it. Whatever, whatever. These people are dopes. But while you're finding that, I forgot to tell you guys this, this should have been the lead of the whole thing. So my dad is bringing Lee Greenwood to Poplar Bluff, Missouri to do a show in October, November. Did you text John Cascio? I did. He's very excited. And he says, well, I'll tell you, I'll give you his answer after I tell you who else is going to be there.

So one of the opening acts for this is going to be Cowboy Ralph Ennis. That's right, guys. Cowboy Ralph Ennis is going to be opening for LG in Poplar Bluff, Missouri at a Holiday Inn. Bang. So one guy's on the rise. That's Cowboy Ralph. One guy must be on the massive decline. That's Lee Greenwood, who's playing at a Holiday Inn. And it says ballroom of the Holiday Inn. It's like a low-ceilinged conference center, conference room, if you will. But, yep, so Cowboy Ralph. We should just get a whole group of people together and just go,

like, all right, M.W. Solgrove, get your gun and your Confederate flag. We're going to Poplar Bluff. We're going to Poplar Bluff, baby. We're going to see Lee Greenwood. I bet you if we had some people, they'd say, hey, you want to drive to Poplar Bluff to go see this show? They'd be like, yep, tell us when. That's a hell of a drive from Texas, though.

Poplar Bluff is not the easiest place to get to. Well, it's actually, from Texas, it's tougher because you'd have to drive to Baton Rouge and then up. That's pretty much like the route to take. If you're in Baton Rouge, it's like a seven-hour drive, which is not short, but, I mean, it's not terrible. But I guarantee you there are people that are going to hear this and go, I'll be there. Just make sure I get tickets. And it'll be Lee Greenwood and cowboy Ralph Venice. I almost feel like we need to go one to get a picture with Lee Greenwood to, to question Lee Greenwood, why he'd ever sing about Canada. Yeah. Is he going to perform that song? And three, um, we, uh, I haven't seen cowboy Ralph in a while and he's old.

He's like in his eighties now. So I feel like I should go see in a while and he's old, he's like in his 80s now so I feel like I should go see him is he going to fly into St. Louis and make the drive? that's actually a good idea, I should tell him listen John, if you can get on a bird get to St. Louis, it's a very easy drive from St. Louis, like two and a half hours if that, come to town

and we will go see Lee Greenwood this is his chance, he's been wanting you'll be hanging out with him, you'll get his digits he'll be a regular on all your little podcasts and shit. Yeah. Be pretty lit. That was the first person I thought of when I saw that flyer like, oh boy. I'm in. Bug it.

Alright then. Well, on that note, who do I need to tell them about? Craftology by Christy. I'm still waiting to hear. I guess Christy is really cooking up a nice shirt for us. I haven't heard from her in a while. But Christy from Craftology by Christy is really cooking up a nice shirt for us. I haven't heard from her in a while. But Christy from Craftology by Christy is working on the live your life, love your dog, drink a beer. Maybe I should be like Bobby Bones and write a kid's book.

Maybe. And the book will just be called live your life, love your dog, drink a beer. It doesn't seem like it'd be a kid's book, but we'd make it a kid's book. But anyway, yeah, she's working on that shirt. She's got a really nice little store there, a nice Etsy store with really cool stuff, like some little Texas stuff, cool shirts. So if you're looking for a gift for somebody, Craftology by Christy. That's what you should check out, Craftology by Christy.
