Yarr! Hello, Scott Johnson. Hello. You be cleaning those decks and then you be putting the sail up or whatever pirates do. These pipes are clean. I guess he wasn't a pirate, but... No, but it's fine. The pirate ship reference. Yeah, very well done. Welcome to the show, everybody. It's Tuesday. We're glad to

be here. Hope you're all well. Yes. Is it the day? It's not the day of. Wait, today's not the end. It's the day before the inauguration. Innauguration tomorrow. A grand, every four to eight year tradition here in the States United.

It's nothing weird this time. It's all good. Everything's good. Part of he wants to be a dick and set off firecrackers tomorrow. Do it. During the, like for the inauguration. Do it. It seemed like.

We had some neighbors that, uh, you know, set those off anytime. Anytime it was any sort of, uh, Trump accomplishment. So really, they didn't set them off very much. Uh, yeah, no, look, uh, why not? Let your freak flag fly. Go ahead and pop off, Brian, pop off. There we go. I'll do that.

I'll pop off. Pop off. Pop off. Pop off. Pop off. Pop off. Pop off. Oh, speaking of any excuse, that's fantastic.

Can't not do it. Nope. Nope. Welcome to the show. I want to thank the hundreds, and I mean hundreds of people who sent information about Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina candle exploding. Holy cow. And there's, I really want to, I want, I want, I want Snopes on this. I want Snopes on this case. Yeah, someone needs to, we need a, we need a thorough investigation before we're willing to accept us at face value because I'm the same. I'm like, uh-huh, sure, whatever. I know that if you leave a candle burning for too long, uh, you know, glass. is glass and heat is heat and if you're in the right conditions you can pop the glass and the

whole thing will fall apart because you were dumb and left it on all night like that's a candle thing not a right right and that will be an explosion that'll be a crack but the basically you'll just get wax melting all over the damn place right so for those not caught up on this gwyneth paltrow made a candle for her goop brand that is basically uh it's supposed to be her her virginal candle her her Virginia okay yeah I mean that's not even is uh you know it's a floral candle that Gwyneth Paltrow alleges uh smells like her nethers yeah which I don't believe for a minute I don't believe it's just a lovely candle I and the reason I know and I fart rainbows when you think of that I know you do because I've seen the colors come out of your pants

Tutsi rolls. Of course. Where do you think they come from? Right. Exactly. So anyway, this thing was given to me by a friend of the show, Cleo. She sent that to me as a gift. And I fired it up numerous times.

It's a lovely candle. It's just a nice candle. And I've let it burn down pretty good before. But here's the story. And there's a whole bunch of sites and newspapers and stuff echoing. the story. So I'm not saying that's proof, but it's out there. So here's how it goes. Gwyneth Poutro

Candle says here, her vagina candle reportedly explodes in the UK inside of a woman's home. Better than a woman's, but anyway. The Paltrow candle didn't pass the smell test according to a report.

I don't understand that. That's weird. Anyway, this candle, the actress pedals on Goop, exploded into flames in the living room of a UK woman who won the odorous or excuse me odiferous product on a quiz or in a quiz according to the sun you know that reliable

the sun oh yes the sun yeah one of the great reputable sources sure journalism's never known a higher mark than what they get out of the sun over there anyway the candle exploded and emitted huge flames with bits flying

everywhere says Jody Thompson age 50 she told the outlet I've never seen anything like it. The whole thing was a blaze, and it was too hot to touch. Well, yeah, if it's on fire, like, freaking, okay. Mom says there was an inferno in the room. That seems like a little bit of an nightmare. Inferno.

Yeah. Was it towering? I mean, come on. I'm trying to think, was Clinteth ever in a movie with, like, you know, like a volcano or Dante's Peak or anything? I'm trying to think. That is nothing. I get nothing. I don't have anything either.

She just said that her and her partner, David Snow. That sounds like a fake name for a, you're trying to protect the innocent, doesn't it? It's a base well. So she's the heat miser and he's the snowmiser. Oh yeah, he's perfect to have involved. I didn't think of that. That's great. That's right, yes.

They said together they threw the flaming candle out the front door. They just threw it out and let the neighbors deal with it. Anyway, it says it could have burned the place down. It was scary for the time. But funny looking back that Gwyneth's vagina candle exploded into my living room, she says. I hope they opened up their sliding doors and tossed it out. Yeah, I do too. I know why you're saying that, too.

I get it. Yeah, yeah. I totally got it. Yeah. Yeah, so we don't have any proof of this, but apparently, boy, you guys just, like every other tweet yesterday. I know, it was, yeah. Like 100 emails, Brian. I believe it, yeah.

of people going anything that has to I mean because it's got all of the it's got all of the the boxes the check boxes right oh yeah this would be a story they'd give us even if we didn't have intimate relations with that candle already you know what I mean right

like if we didn't already have that candle we would have still had people say oh this is a great TMS story but because we had the candle and it's a great TMS story perfect storm is what I say perfect storm yes exactly

so So, 50, so I'm looking at the article from the sun. Okay. And the last photo that they put in the article is a shot of this woman's home. Okay. Her entertainment center. All right. Her nice hardwood floors.

And it looks like she keeps her candles and a lava lamp on. Okay. Yeah. Very hip. Very cool. but I mean they can't like a hardwood floor and then just the lava like basically right on the candles right on the hardwood floor right next to like those paper dangly things next to your TV and yeah I'm gonna say we may be looking at someone who's really bad at home fire safety that's right is what we're looking at yeah this person 50 centimeters if my math is correct 50 centimeters because she's saying a 50 centimeter flame left from the candle out the glass jar. Am I right that a centimeter, I'm sorry, 10 millimeters is a centimeter, right?

Yes, correct. It's all tens. So 500, 500 millimeters, which is the length of this ruler. Yeah. I'm holding in my hand. Yeah. That's how high the flame was. So here's a dramatic reenactment.

Oh, sweet. Look. Oh, it smells like, hmm, Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina. I'll just light it. Whiz. I don't know. I think maybe she's full of it.

Oh, dear. I think something happened. I think David Snow snuck some glycerin in there, did something weird. You know what I mean? Like, that's a little, that's a little much. I can't, the stuff in there is just wax. Yes, exactly.

I think, uh, yeah, I think this woman is, uh, is trying to, you know, come across or you're trying to get across that something about Gwenith Paul,

Duaneth Paltrow's vagina is flammable. Oh, yeah, yeah. They actually put like Kisses Blood in that comic book that they actually put some of, Oh my gosh. Put some of Gwyneth into every jar of candle. Yeah, then you're, now you're cooking with gas. Right, exactly. So I call BS and Snopes, you know, when you're done actually fact-checking important things.

Please, please look at this article. Yeah, and thanks for everyone who sent that. That just shows you're engaged. And we appreciate that a lot. Okay. Also, we heard from a listener. This is Tim who wrote in and said, so this is a really interesting perspective. I'm so glad he wrote in because we've been talking kind of ad nauseum the last, I don't know, a week or something about what movies were so hugely impactful. Yeah. Impactful, influential, or whatever, in our formative years. And for us or for a lot of people,

John Hughes fits that quite nicely. Others have mentioned others. And then we've tried to figure out what generation has what and that sort of thing and which ones carry forward and all that. So we've been having that back and forth conversation and in comes this perspective that I honestly, I had just not given any thought to. So I really like this. Tim says, you have thoughts on what movies matter when he grew up.

And he says, I was born in 1980 and grew up as a Mexican kid and a small racist town USA. He didn't say what town. I've driven through there and I've gotten gas, I think, at their gas station. Rifle County. Anyway, says, I hated all of John Hughes movies, just full of shitty, rich, white kids and the whole world in front of them, and they're still miserable.

There really weren't any movies. He's not, he's not. He says they were really, sorry, there really weren't any movies about Mexican kids, maybe La Bomba, American Me, but those weren't great for kids. I guess I related to the black people movies most, like Friday and the Kid and Play movies. interesting perspective I thought of that like what a bunch of whiny boobs we are sometimes

you know it's true the only one of the characters that was even um barely scraping by in all those John Hughes movies and somebody might be able to

to offer more but I think it was Molly Ringwald's character in I'm sorry not Molly Ringwold's uh well Molly Ringwald and Pretty and Pink

was she lived on the other side of the tracks right yeah she came with Harry Dean Stanton and a lower place. Kind of had to scrape money together. But I think wasn't some kind of wonderful, wasn't Oh, right.

And Mary Stewart Masterson's character. She was super poor, was the idea. So was Bender. John Bender was also. We don't know that. Well, he says he was. That's true. That's true.

Yeah. He described his home life as, you know, abusive dad. What I got from my dad on Christmas? Yeah. cigarette burns smoke a cigarette smoke up johnny boy so there there are so i guess what i what i related to wasn't so much the whiny oh woe was me you know stuff what i what i related to was was interrelationships in high school were hard and these people these people illustrated pretty well my experience uh that being said now

that you mention it, I don't know if there are any, are there any people of color in any John Hughes movies that I can think of? I really can't think of any. Now, he speak, obviously John Hughes is speaking from his experience and his growing up and all, you know, his, whatever. So he didn't grow up around anybody of color, but I'm just saying there just doesn't seem to be a lot of representation in those movies. I mean, even things like planes trains or Uncle Buck or freaking any of it. Are there, are there black people in his movies? Someone tell me. Quick. I don't think there are.

I think they're out of hate. I know. I mean, I hate, I hate, I hate thinking of one of my, one of my hero, one of my movie heroes,

movie directing heroes was, you know, didn't feature any sort of representation in his movies, but really I'm having a hard time. No, it's just white kids. Weird science. Those people, I guess.

Some kind of one. Which explains why. why we liked it so much and why we were into it because it was a pretty good mirror to our upbringing but turns out how allure for real was to bring up well you know long duck dong

was a non a non white character in a Johnny's film probably you don't want that to be our only our only source of representation of different cultures and racism it might be though right it might actually be

geez that's no good Yeah, I mean, Desimato says, I'm black and I didn't particularly care nor notice. Well, good. Oh, that's good. I mean, here's the, you know, whatever, it's like anything. There's going to be,

there's going to be, there's going to, you're going to have stuff like this and I'm not, this isn't me going, oh, no, what was John Hughes thinking? I'm not, I'm not about to retcon my entire love of his movies. I think his movies are magical.

Yeah, I mean, there was the whole scene where Anthony Michael Hall is like, she cannot hold a smoke. That's what it is. So, you know, there, there we go. Who was he? Who was he? I don't want to know. He was just doing a racist.

I don't want to know what he was doing. Somebody named Kivax in our chat room says, we talked about this on FilmSack 401. I mean, I think you mean you guys talk, because I don't know what a Kivax is. I know there's a Randy Deluxe and there's a Brian Dunaway, but I don't know what a Kivax. Well, there's an old, the Toyota Kivax was around in the 70s.

Oh, the Toyota Kivax. Is that the one that would blow up when you ran into it? No, that was. That was the Ford Pinto, but the Kajax. That was the Guadipalcio candle. This candle smells like my Kivax. Yeah. I love you, Andy.

Yeah, we know who you are. We know exactly who you are. Yeah, we probably did. But I did have to double take. I mean, I know these Kivax on the. Sure. But I don't think we talked about it like in this context. Did we?

We didn't get this deep with it. Like, I don't feel like, I feel like this is hitting me right in the head. Like this email really. caught me on the card. No, I it does feel kind of sad. Like, I'm looking back, it's like, oh, man,

I don't want that to be the case. Learning XP says what Ernie Hudson and Ghostbusters. John Hughes had nothing to do with Ghostbusters. Yeah. We're not talking about the whole of 80s stones. Dice Tomato brought up Lloyd Dobler and say anything as being poor and was like, oh, that was Cameron Crow. That wasn't John Hughes either. Definitely not John

Hughes, yeah. Oh, you make it see, but I love these movies. It's not, guess what I'm saying is it's okay to feel like you relate to a thing, but it would be good if during the 80s when I was being brought up, it would have been better if we were better at representation and film and entertainment. I'm going to redirect or I'm going to deflect, Scott. Hey, how about that sex in the city, huh? Oh, yeah, that's good stuff.

For rich white women, huh? Yeah, let's look at that. Yeah, that was real good. Push our discussion. Yeah, and they were all about these white men. How about that sex in the city? Yeah, sex in the city, it definitely fits. What about side felt?

a, not a reboot, but another 10-episode sequel on HBO. Really? Yeah, and Kim Cottrell, well, Kim Controll and Sarah Jessica Parker, let's just say they don't get along, so. Are they not going to be on together then? No, Kim Control is not participating in the Sex and the City reboot. I didn't know they didn't get along. Was that true the whole production?

It was apparently true, I guess, yeah. She, uh, Kim Control was on an internet. I guess I could just call her Kim at this point. Kim was on an interview with Pierce Morgan and said something about how she never felt like they welcomed her as part of the group. And I'm guessing that they were like, there was like a little clickish thing

between Cynthia Nixon and Kristen Davis and Sir Jessica Parker that they didn't include Kim Cottralin. I know why. I mean, is the age difference that big, you think? I know what it is. Manican? She was in mannequin and they're pissed.

Manikin, they hate mannequin. And who could blame them? Yeah, I hate mannequin too. Had that horrible Starship song in it. The worst James Spader performance you'll ever see. Yeah, it's about a mannequin who comes to life. Who would want to hang around with you? Oh, my God.

Speaking of film, Sack, that does need to be on the list. I think it probably is or has been or good. Hey, let's check what they? this Toyota Kivax in the chat row. The new Toyota Kivax. Get in there and get that on the list there, buddy, pal. Well, anyway, we've had our... Anyway.

This is great. All right, we have time for the news today, which is lovely, because sometimes you run out of time, but not today. And it starts with this. Let's get to the news brought to you by... The Boop Show. tonight, Scott, what's on tap for you? Well, at 3.30 Mountain Time, we'll do it live here at frogpants.tv, but you can catch it on

the podcast if you want. We are, me and Brian Dun & away, are going to be doing a deep, deep hard look at a couple of indie video games. Now, one of them, arguably less indie than usual, but it came, it's a sequel to the, the originally indie game called Everspace, which was this really cool, kind of rogue-like, uh, imagine FT. but with like really good graphics. It was kind of like that. And this is a sequel to that. And it's a very, very different game.

I played a ton of it, and I'm very excited to talk about it. So come and hear what me and Dun & we have to say about the games we've chosen, plus a whole bunch of other fun stuff. We do it on the weekly. That's at frogpance.com slash B-O-O-P for details. Or you can just search for it wherever you get your podcast

and you'll get it there. Okay. Brian, let's start today's news off with this story. A Crossville law firm. I don't know where Crossville is. I don't either. Don't assume because I go by the name Coverville that I know every other vill. Oh, you don't know all the vills?

Come on. I don't know all the villas, man. What about Whoville? Are you familiar with Whoville? Whoville? I'm certainly familiar with Whoville. Okay. Do you know about...

My GPS grew three sizes larger when I looked that one. Let me look up Crossville and see if I can figure out where this is. How about Shelbyville? The chat room is going to beat me to it. They probably will. Shelbyville? Do you like Shelbyville? Tennessee is what I'm seeing probably.

All right. Fair enough. It sounds like something might happen in Tennessee. Crossville law firm is giving away free divorce work. So basically they'll handle your divorce case for Valentine's Day. So they're going to do a run of free divorce cases. Yeah, isn't that nice? Yeah.

You're breaking up with this person you've been married to for 10 years. You're all done. He had an affair with the secretary. You're out of there. And these guys are kind enough to belly up and say, Happy Valentine's Day. Here's your free lawyering for your divorce case.

Nothing says I love you like you've been served. Yep, that's right. I guess that's a different thing. But I guess it depends on how severe this divorce is. Yeah, if you're getting served for a divorce, you can see that, though. That's pretty bad. We're still watching Penn 15,

enjoying it tremendously watching these 33-year-old women aptly play 13-year-olds, especially fucking Maya. Around other 13-year-olds. It's just nuts. Around other 13-year-olds, which gets a little awkward when they have to kiss. Oh, yeah. If this was dudes, it wouldn't happen.

Oh, it would not happen. No, for sure. Oh, my God. I didn't even think about that. I did. I was watching it with Kim, and I went, you know, if this was like about two guys in junior high and these were all 13-year-old girls, we're not doing this. This isn't a show.

Right, exactly. Oh, God, no kidding. Yeah. wow that's a first thing is it is a tremendously funny show and uh i mean both actresses are great but the woman who plays maya is just freaking brilliant yeah she's really good really nails that the actions of a whacked out 13 year old that's her actual mom by the way i know yeah it's great there is a scene where she's consoling her daughter after some i can't remember what happened in the bathtub so you got this naked real mom and you're naked in the

tub. I couldn't deal with that. It's funny show. The only way that scene can work or that that casting can work. Yeah. And there's already people in the chat saying, wait, why is this okay for girls? Yeah, no, this is the age old question. I don't know the answer. I don't know why. It's more acceptable.

But apparently it is. We're not going to solve that today. I can promise you that. So don't look to me and Brian for why. Is it okay for girls? We don't know. I don't know. But it just is. And it's an universal truth. Yeah.

I mean, maybe it isn't. But society says it's at least a little. I mean, listen, if this was two dudes and this was this show, it's all you would have heard about for months. Yeah. It's all we would have talked about was this controversial thing and the show had been canceled and everyone would have been, you know, fired and moved on and whatever. But I don't know why it is. I don't know. I don't know.

Hey, I'm not saying it's okay. I'm saying I don't know. I don't get it. Society's weird. Sometimes we're like, okay, let me ask you this. Brian, let's get philosophical here. All right. Oh, gosh, okay.

Let's say I just now, like right now across the room, let's say I see a brown recluse creeping up over here. Sure. And I go, it's a brown recluse. Yeah. That's a spider. You know, you know, it's back. Right.

It causes the necrosis where your skin just eats away. So I'm thinking about all that stuff, and I'm going, oh, no, I must go smash the spider. And so I do, I go kill it without remorse. I smush it into the ground and go really grind it out, right? Now, if that was a kitten, I would be treated very differently, wouldn't it? So what I'm saying is society has their limits, right? And I don't know where those lines sometimes are. No, a kitten is not going to kill you if it bites you or like make your skin eat away.

All right, well, let's say it's a spider that's non-poisonous that isn't going to eat me and give me a necrosis. Let's just say it's a big furry spider. Scott analogies. People are still going to step on that spider and kill it, even if it doesn't going to hurt anybody. Or let's say a snake that isn't poisonous. They're still going to kill it because they're like,

we can't have a snake in here. We must kill it. We must put tracks out for the mice. Chances are you invited the kitten into your house. But that's my point. It's lines, right? society has its lines and for some reason

Penn 15 gets away with a certain line whereas if it was men it'd have to be scoched way back here and they wouldn't get away with it. So what is that? Is that a combination? No, it's a double standard.

History and society and experience. I don't know what makes up these things. My point to the chat room today is we're not going to decide this on the air today. We can't. No, it'll take a lot more than the time we have allotted I mean, I think what it comes down to is it shouldn't be okay.

If it's not okay one way, it shouldn't be okay the other way. Like, we should basically say, no, having a 13-year-old kid feel up to 33-year-old women probably isn't okay. Although, I guess you never really see. They never do that. They never go that far. But they do like, you know. Oh, the prom, the ending prom scene of season one, Scott? Yeah.

Or not prom, but the dance scene? yeah, I get, yeah, they get right up to the edge. But I'm, but, but if it was dudes, it wouldn't even, it would be a million miles from this. Like, a million miles, yes, would not. Right. And there's nothing wrong with asking why, you know? No, exactly. Try to figure out why.

That's all I'm saying. But today is not the day we're going to solve it. Maybe we'll get jury's take. Oh, my God. Jerry's hot take on that. Oh, he, I don't know if you'd even want you. All right. Here's another story for you.

Oh, I never got to the point. Point. Oh, yeah, I did. They're giving away free, uh, they're giving away free divorce stuff. So go good. Free divorce, uh, for Valentine's Day. Although I guess it's just one free divorce. So you have to win the contest. I want to know what the criteria is. Like, do you have to have the worst marriage? Is that what they're going to be rating? Like they're going to be like you're right and say, uh, my husband does this and this and this. And that's why I should get the free divorce. Exactly. How do they, how are they going to distinguish or discriminate? Maybe they just take as many as they can until they run out of, you know, there's like a limit of 20 and then they just do

20. No, it's one. There's what, like, says conducting a contest to give away a free divorce for Valentine's. Oh, a free. I thought it was just free divorce stuff. Interesting. I'm going to see if we can get, there's got to be like an application page and I want to see. Here we go. All right, the divorce must be agreed upon by both parties. Contestants must submit a story as to why they wish to get divorced to our office poorly worded that is really poorly worded

what paralegal did you task with writing that that's bad yes submissions be accepted through the close of business February 15th so the day after Valentine's Day the winner selected Friday February 19th

they thought of this too late submissions must also include telephone number no cost for entry contestants will not be charged for Mrs. Power's services or court funding fees obviously the obvious thing is that they'll give away one prize and they'll have a bunch of people who now can become paid clients who didn't win it's a great marketing thing that's what this is you didn't win but uh you know we can we'll handle your divorce for this much yeah we'll file for free but that means you got to sign on for the full meal deal you're totally right that's what this is and we're helping promote it. We're helping them with their promotion right now is what we're doing. Right, exactly. Yes. It's kind of, law firm. Well done. It's kind of brilliant. Yeah.

Good job. Uh, all right. Here's a better story. What was that movie of Tom Hanks where he hung out in an airport all the time or for a long time? The terminal. Terminal, that's what it was, the Spielberg deal. Well, we have a story that's a lot like that. A man lived inside O'Hare Airport for three months before he was detected. This is, uh, O'Hare is Chicago, right? Yeah. O'Hare, Chicago. Sorry, I jumped on to, I got to keep going here because I linked to the powerslaw crossville.com website.

Yeah. And, all right, so before you go there, you're going to a website for a law firm. Yeah. I'm going to tell you that they've got full motion video on their, on their homepage at the top of their page. Good. What do you think that full motion video of a law firm? would be um okay that's interesting hold on so my my natural tendency to say is to say like any of these things or even like drug commercials people are supposed to be out being having fun hanging

out of the park dancing whatever like just people living their lives in some like sort of nicely filmed way right yeah exactly like be roll of oh you know we'll help you get through it and all that yeah that's not what this is it is it is It is a video of a tiger yawning that they've got going forward and then in reverse. Why? Because it looks, initially you're thinking, oh, the tiger's roaring. And then you see the telltale like the cheeks kind of mushing together like a cat does when it yawns. Are you kidding me?

I got to give this to you. Wow, that's really weird. Okay, that's legit weird. yeah and then they show it forward and then they show it in reverse and it's like a constantly looping and then they've got like um well you guys like this chat blurry dust particles to make it look like it's you know like they photograph this in the line why why i don't know i mean i guess i guess margaret jane powers is a tiger is a yawning tiger hidden dragon is that uh you think they just had someone's kids good at websites and they're just like, can I do the cool lion reversing

itself and like yawning over and over? Would that be okay? Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Wow. That's ridiculous. I just love, I love that it's yawning and that, you know, somebody's going to say, no, no, it's, it's roaring. It's like, you know, it's clearly yawning. Yeah, there's no, there's officially this, one of the strangest things I've ever heard. All right. All right. Sorry. Let's talk about somebody living in O'Hare. Tom Hanks is stuck in an airport, everybody.

A man lived inside there for three full months. Nobody knew he was there. He's a California man who people say, claim to be too afraid to fly due to COVID-19, hid out for months in the O'Hare International Airport until this weekend and got arrested. Adita Singh. Aditya. Aditya Singh, nothing says it.

Age 36, he's charged with felony criminal trespass to a restricted area of an airport and misdemeanor theft. In Bond Court Sunday, prosecutor says Singh arrived to the O'Hare Airport on a flight from Los Angeles on October 19th and allegedly has lived in the airport security zone ever since. Without detection, Cook County Judge Susan Ortiz reacted incredulously to the news, saying, so if I understand you, correctly, you're telling me that an unauthorized, non-employee individual was allegedly living within the secure part of the O'Hare Airport Terminal from October 19th until January 16th and was not detected. I want to understand you correctly. She was just blown away. It sounds like a Judge Judy clip. So if I understand you correctly. She starts doing this. Shut up, sir. I'll get to you. Shut up. I love when she does her watch thing.

Like, hurry up. She's great. Put her on the surprise. court. What are we doing? No kidding. Yeah. I'm all for that. I'll vote. Would she be eligible? I guess you could be eligible as long as you're in good standing with the bar, right? You don't have to. I think so. If you've got somebody wacky enough to put your name forward and you get passed, why not? I mean, come on. Would we really put somebody from a reality show in a place of power like that, Scott? I mean. That seems crazy now that you say it that way. Yeah, come on. Yeah. No one's ever going to take what somebody whose previous fame is almost

exclusively from a reality show he's the host of a reality show seriously would we put her in a position of power like that no I can't imagine it I just can't imagine that happening well anyway here's what he did to survive there

there's a couple of united employees found him asked him for his identification he said he lowered his mask and showed them an airport ID badge that was he was wearing around his neck the badge actually belonged to an operations manager who had reported it missing since late October.

So the employees called 911. Boy, they did more work there than they did. My last time, I flew with their airline. United is garbage. I hate United. Hate them. I don't like flying United. Never had a good experience.

Anyway, Haggerty and Singh reportedly found the badge in the airport. His claim is he was too scared to go home because of COVID told, she told the other judge, the passengers were giving him food and stuff like that. the thing um if you're afraid of COVID and that's why you're staying see I don't buy this because an airport is a transient place full of people coming in and going out if you're going to get it you're going to get it there not on that one flight I agree I don't think it was like did he just get to the airport and decide that he was too afraid to fly it's weird because of COVID but he stayed at the airport instead of going back to to his home or wherever he was staying in Chicago. It's just really weird. It sounds like Hocom. I think he made up.

It does sound like Hocom like because of COVID. We're going to be using that for a long time. Oh, what, what, uh, why did you steal that car? COVID. Yeah. Why did you, uh, why aren't these papers on my desk at A.m. COVID. COVID. Uh, all right.

Moving on. A, uh, uh, oh, this is great. But good on him for, for staying undetected for three months. That actually is pretty damn impressive. I know. you think they'll do a movie they could do a movie and you have i'm not trying to be this isn't me being you know uh type casty or anything but have that dude from um he's in the new marvel thing too but he's from um janeal nonjani yes nonjani have him play this guy make it a comedy

dude he's really funny do three three months of this guy hiding out no hair no you got your movie there's your script it's all to be super buff he'd have to explain why he's super buff oh yeah because he's really buff right now. He's super jacked right now because of the Eternals thing, yeah. He puts up, like, Instagrams and stuff, and he's, he's not letting it go. He's as buff as I've ever seen. So, like, he's, I think they're finished. Are they finished filming or do they just pause it because of COVID?

I think they're done, and he's just staying buff. Well, I mean, if I look like that, I would do everything in my power to stay looking like that. Right. So, yeah. I wish when I was 118 pounds, or no, 218 pounds or whatever I was in 2015, I wish I would have stayed there. That would have been great. Yeah, yeah. But I didn't.

Ice cream in the northeastern area of China has tested positive for COVID-19. Oh, no, they're going to have to sequester the ice cream. Yeah, the ice cream can't see any relatives. It was really looking forward to that birthday party with bubble gum squash. That's not a real flavor. I just made that flavor up. Do you be butternut squash? What did I say?

Bubblegum squash? Bubblegum squash. I don't even know why butternut squash. That's not a... It's not a flavor either. Yeah. Of ice cream. Oh.

Bubblegum squash is my drag name. When I'm on Rupal's drag race, I'm going to be a bubble gum squash. I'm voting for you on there. Let's see. So this ice cream, Uh, okay, so three ice cream samples, chocolate, strawberry, and taro, or taro, I guess tarot fruit or whatever it is. No, tarot root, like, uh, what po is.

I always think of fruit, but it's a root, right? It's a root. It's a root, tarot root, yeah. Um, and that is my go-to boba, um, boba smoothie flavor is, uh, taro. I like fete. I like boba fat more than, it's your, it's your go-to fat is boba. I can't do boba tea because there's those, I, the whole, the whole, um, the whole, um, I, the whole, point is those balls in there? Yeah, the tapioca balls.

Yeah, I don't like it. I feel like I'm eating. That is like a, that's probably more divisive than cilantro. Yeah, for me. You either like them or you don't. And I mean, I bet we could do a straw pull for that. And I bet you would be, it would be either right down the middle or it would be two thirds, hate the tapioca balls, one third like the tapioca ball. My wife loves them

I can't do it Yeah see is that crazy It's like it's like fish eggs for me Like the bait That's what I'm like Oh no no That's the consistency When you squish them

They're like little Like little Like little Uh Lickish bites or something But not I mean They don't taste like

Lickish I mean it's like Yeah they don't I don't mean It's like having gummy Like having gummy worms In your drink Yeah

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's actually right. Yeah. But that's gross. That's gross. Yes. Would you put it that way? Yes. Put your gummy worms in your drink. No. I don't want to. I don't want to do that. It's a drink that it requires some concentration because, you know, you're you're sucking up through the straw and a little shunk. You know, you get a like the bank just gave you your deposit slip back because you didn't fill out the right thing. I love, what's that called? Vacuum tubes. When I was growing up, I wanted a whole house. It was just all, everything's connected with vacuum tubes, like at the bank. I love that stuff so much. Just that rattle and that sound and off that thing goes and you have to have it be transparency. You see it flying through the house.

You know why? It's because it was the Jetsons. It was the closest thing we had to the Jetsons. Numeric tubes, that's it. Nematic, thank you. Yes. What is Donnie? Donnie says,

Donnie says vacuum. Vacuum. Vacuum tubes. It's, it's, it's magnets, Donnie. It's done with magnets.

Donnie thinks it's vacuums. That's like the third big Lobowski reference I've heard today. It's making me want to watch that movie. Well, but that's not Big Lobowski. That's Just Shoot Me. Oh, you're right.

It was David Cross on, Just Shoot Me. You can't say Donnie without me. Right, you thinking of the shemmy yeah what is that about you're at your you're at your element donnie yeah i can't you're talking about don't don't i have anything with donnie in it hold on an audio clip with donnie i have no i have things like this donald is very obviously shown here i mean look at his hair do okay that's great donnie pneumatic that's really funny donnie pneumatic tube

you wouldn't have walked out of that movie i wouldn't have walked out that would have been a great movie there. All right. D. Lee, Mike, just put the David Cross bit into chat if you have any interest in. Hold on.

Let me look at this here. Okay. Why am I unfamiliar with it? Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm not hearing anything if you're... Oh, you don't hear it? No. Dang it.

I hate when I do that. It's all right. Sorry. As long as the chat room's able to hear it. No, they can't hear it either. All right. Now let me try that again. Okay.

Here we go. Hey, Donnie. I think I finally got those tubes figured out you'll kill me kill me you see it uses hot air

to force the capsule through the tubes Donnie says vacuum that show is all right it was all right you know what yeah

for a three camera everybody laughs track thingy it was pretty good great great ensemble though I mean had David Spade in there

and Laura San Giacomo And that dude who was on Galaxy Quest Wasn't that Nicholas Pelotano Not Pelotano Hey who is the guy Oh my brain Colantoni?

Nicholas Colantone Putty on there? No putty or putty was or no? No putty did that I remembered What am I thinking? Oh he did the other show with a spade later um yes they're all in bed single men single men of a certain single single singleton singletons singleton men i have no idea oh veronica mars dad yeah that guy's cool

we love him he's the henriko yeah that's what i'm trying to come up with is it enrico colentony that's it enrico clinton that's it that guy's great i keep here's all right here's where my mind goes when I hear that name. I think it's the fake name that Frank Trebin, I think it's the singer that Frank Trebin poses as to sing the national anthem in the police squad. Perfect.

It's Enrico Palazzo is who I'm thinking of. Perfect. That's the perfect thing to remember. Anyway, your ice cream may have COVID. Rico Palazzo. By the way, so these are made by the Daquino, DACAWIGO food company.

They make cakes. Oh, the COVID ice cream? Yeah, ice cream, other frozen stuff. They locked everything down after they discovered it. Let's see. They, let's see. Infected samples made from milk and way powder imported from New Zealand and the Ukraine. It's unclear if any of this got out.

So anyway, just be careful. Don't, you know, ice cream. Just be careful. I can't have ice cream anymore, so I'm good. I'm safe. Oh, do they make sugar-free ice cream? And it's gross. Have you had any?

I've had Halo Top, and it's great. Really? Yes. I've just had the wrong kind. I had some not long ago. Halo Top, the one I recommend that I've had recently is like Peanut, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup style. And Halo Top Rees's Peanut Butter Cup, you will not think you're drinking sugar-free

ice cream. Halo Top Creamery. Okay. Listen, you know, the people who are so divided in the chat room over tapioca balls and Boba, are like all saying halo top is legit okay i mean i don't the dairy's fine i'm okay with dairy i just can't do tons of sugar and i know there's lactose and you know it's a kind of sugar but i just can't do oh no jenni 71 says halo top is also not sugar-free really hold on a second have i been have i been uh sign felding the yogurt basically in thinking that the uh they're just

really good the fat-free yogurt is not fat-free oh man you're they're right it's not sugar-free but it's just lower... It's a lower calorie. Oh, yeah. Well, it's also... Yeah, so I guess it's got stevia and... But it does have some cane sugar. Yeah.

No processed sugar. Is that all right? Is that good for you? 330 calories per pint. That's still a lot. That's usually 330 calories per serving, so that's pretty low. I know. That's the only thing where you look at and say,

wait, wait, this whole thing is a serving? Yeah, that's nuts. because I don't that's like a that's a four serving container for me oh yeah for sure well that's multiple servings but normally a single serving of regular ice cream would run you about 330 calories for a single serving oh I want to say that the back and I'm this I'll fully admit I might have misread this but I thought that the back said uh contents one serving oh really yeah hold on my my misremembering what these a pint yeah nobody eats a pint of anything in one sitting do they?

No. Okay, so yeah, I know it is, I did. Maybe they had a small version of it or something, like a, yeah, exactly. A little self-serve eat mirror. Look at the nutrition label on each pint of halotop. The serving size is still the typical half pint, or I'm sorry, half cup, but the brand says plays up the go ahead and eat the whole container. That's where I'm getting that.

You bought right into that marketing. Well done. I didn't. I don't, but I may, I misread it, but I didn't follow it. No, I feel you. All right, we're going to take a break. When we come back, Justin Robert Young will be here. I'm going to start thinking of an email today because I got this thing to read him.

Yeah, that was awesome. Very, very good. All right. Justin Robert Young going to be joining us here in a second. We're through a little jury duty today. It's our civic duty to do jury duty. Doing our duty. always got to do your duty i mean that's the thing i really believe in so let's start it out right

these are their stories oh i'm terrible with names welcome to the show mr justin robert young one day shy of the uh united states inauguration of a new president after a four-year term uh exciting times all around justin welcome to the show oh hello friends oh hi oh you're very quiet i hear barely oh hold on no i just turned on my mic which He's probably why I was quiet. It's got a warm up. Yeah, got a warm up. It's old school.

All right. How about now? A little louder, a little louder. A little louder. A little bit louder now. How about now? Maybe a tiny bit up more, a little more. All right.

How about now? That's pretty good. Let's do that. Perfect. Hey, it's Justin Robert Young. What's going on, man? How the heck are you doing? Oh, you know me?

Just another day in Paris. paradise here. Very windy in Oakland today. I couldn't go for my run. I went out to the lake. I normally run around, and both of my ear pods blew out of my head. It was so windy. Oh, man. You didn't lose them, did you? You got them okay? No, no, no. I did stop me from running around the lake because I was afraid that they were just going to blow off into the water. Yeah, that's no good. Oh, my gosh. Wow, that's hot. That's brisk winds. We had some of that own cells, but that usually means snow's coming. For you guys, it just means, what does it mean when it happens to you when you get a lot of wind? Nothing. I don't know. It's never happened

before. So we're all going to find out. All right. Gosh, 2021. Surprises around every corner. Okay, I'm going to start today's discussion with a quick email because why not. I didn't prepare you for this one. It's not much to prepare for, but it's interesting. This is Carter wrote in, not my daughter, somebody else. Another Carter. Yeah, although pretty funny. This person's name is Carter Smith, and the character that we saw in the TV show when Kim was pregnant with Carter, which was an episode of, you are, wasn't it? No, it was a, no, it was a, oh, frick. It's one of those like Twilight Zone shows, but it's not Twilight Zone.

Right. Tales from the Crip. Outer Limits, that's it. Outer limits. Watch an episode of Outer Limits, and there's this, there's a female lawyer lady that name was Carter Smith. So this guy's got her name, his name. He has her name. Anyway, that's where we got her name from. And either of them are Coach Carter. No, neither are Coach Carter or Jimmy Carter. Okay, check this. Or Linda Carter. Says, hey, Mo, Larry and the cheese. I assume Jerry's the cheese.

I don't know what that means. He says, I love the segment with jury on the impeachment proceedings. I'm trying to figure out the odds on which party will destroy itself first and whether it will be a meltdown, an explosion, or a dumpster fire. I'll throw this freebie out there. what every party decides that rather than spending scarce resources on a ceremonial lynching on a matter that's moot in a couple of weeks. That does mean no immediate help. What would help is if Congress directed all of that energy toward fixing the crisis at the post office? So basically he's saying, don't bother with the impeachment thing post-election, just get straight to spend your time and effort on fixing the postal service.

So he says this, bombed out by the shelling from COVID. creating a strain on the service from vastly increased volumes and staff out sick. This resulted in millions of post office workers and customers not receiving packages and vendors losing money from the lost sales and logistics troubleshooting. He says, yes, I have stake in this game. I've had many delays, including one package we've been tracking for one and a half months. Whichever party fixes this gets my unabashed temporary support. It's a fairly easy fix.

Just throw resources at it. have the military help. They're good at logistics. Just a thought. Thanks for the shows. Carter. I just wanted if you added, you know, any sort of take on that. I do like, I do like the pairing of the terms unabashed temporary support. Yeah. You will get my undying love for a few minutes. Yeah, yeah, for at least a fortnight. Yeah. So a few things that we can tease out of this. I don't want to go into the specific solutions because I am by no means an expert when it comes to the post office or how to fix it particularly. I will say that what he's suggesting is basically what people are betting on in Congress.

That the further we get away, I mean, as of right now, as we speak to you on Tuesday morning, West Coast time at least, Donald Trump has scheduled the rest of his presidency. He is going to take off from Andrews Joint Air Force Base early. Wednesday morning. He's going to skip the inauguration. At that point, he will have no more presidential power and what folks in Congress are betting on, specifically I think some of the Republican senators who would not like to be on the record voting to remove a Republican president is that the further we get away from not only January 6th, but also the Trump presidency, the more

naturally our eyes will fixate on problems that are in the here and now and not a punishment that needs to be meted out for somebody that is no longer in power. I suspect that that is their strategy. So kind of a time, not time heals all wounds, but time

tends to add buffering so people can get distracted by other things. Other things get more important. What we are all fired up today about may not be a big deal tomorrow. because we've had some time. So that's kind of what they're doing, right? Well, and also it's what Joe Biden wants to do.

Like, as much as people make a, you can say that the first 100 days is only ceremonial because we gave it the name the first 100 days. There's nothing magical about it. It's not like there is a sacred energy that reverberates throughout the chamber or anybody's particularly nicer in those first 100 days. The only thing that the first 100 days really buys you

is the idea that other things have yet to happen, and that's what happens in government. Other things happen, crises happen, issues happen. Certain politicians face other problems, and now they have their alignment shifted one degree left or right. So if you are operating with a playing field, specifically one that now is advantageous to the Democrats because they control the Senate by way of a 50-50 tiebreaker with Kamala Harris, then now might be the time to hit the gas on what you want to do as opposed to taking time out to impeach. But that's going to be up to the leadership of the Senate in the next couple days. Now, you're in California. How does it work when I know this is already probably taken place and I haven't paid a lot of attention to it,

but Kamala Harris stepping down from her job in the Senate to now assume the job of vice president and slash president of the Senate how do they replace her? What is that process? Do we have to vote for somebody? No, no, no, no, no. That's already done.

The, she will be replaced by, I believe, oh man, I'm going to say Padilla, but I don't think it's Padilla. An incoming senator that was named by the governor,

he will then run for her seat when her term comes up in this next midterm because she was elected the same night that Trump won to the Senate back in 2016. So he will face a test in the next two years. So that's a state governor decision, not decision to do it. I got it. Padilla. It is Padilla. Yes, yes. The governor names the replacement. And so when Kamala Harris resigned, she resigned to the governor, but he had already made his selection on who would replace her. So this, back to this mythical, not mythical, but this hundred, the first hundred days, which we've kind of enshrined as a thing.

It might be overhyped, but it is not mythical. It is not, uh, there are a hundred days. It is not a centaur nor a minotar, nor any other mythological beast or creature. Or anything else with half man, half horse, any of those, any combination of those. So, uh, what was my point going to be with that? Oh, why is that so important? I mean, is it just the here's the time you have to establish all of your plans, your changes, your tweaks, your agenda. Why limit it to 100?

It's not like there's an election at the end of that cycle where suddenly there's a big up turn. No, no, no, no. In fact, it's not a coincidence that it's the furthest away from your election that you will be, which is part of the other thing is that. You can. It is the dark side of the moon when it comes to elections. You are never going to be further away from re-election of the president. Here's why it's important. And a lot of this has gotten clouded by the fact that we don't have what for most of our lifetime has been the regular schedule for these kinds of elections. Specifically, the idea that an election happens on election night, we have a winner. And then the nation, whether or not they're upset or excited agrees all right well this person's going to be in charge we all gave it our best shot let's if you don't care about politics all the time time to stop caring about politics if you do care about politics now you're going to care about the first hundred days uh you have a relative time of calm usually uh we do not have that this time

we did not have that after 2016 you're able to negotiate with people behind the scenes and more specifically it shows you what the priorities of the president are going to be because obviously

during the campaign a lot of things are said and so now you're going to really get the first measure of what they want to do do they want to go big initially do they want to get stuff done

like maybe have more middle of the road stuff that they want to hammer in beyond that you have the question of if there is going to be any kind of, you know, opposition based on the idea of a mandate. Like that's something that we usually used to hear about. Okay, well, there's a mandate for the president to do X, Y, or Z. Yeah. And now, you know, I don't even know if that exists anymore now that we are very, very, very bare knuckle in terms of how much we fight for every inch of legislative real estate.

So I was thinking to you when I read a headline about Schumer and McConnell coming together for some sort of agreement about how they wouldn't let stuff get stuck in committees. They would push things to the floor for votes and they would do so jointly. And it was kind of this coming together of the two leaders of both halves of the Senate. And all I could think of is that you would probably tell me that that was just to ensure lots of lunch. for these politicians, right? Because that's what that is. Like, at the end of the day, like, does that mean, I mean, a part of me wants to be optimistic about that and go, oh, well, all right, this is, that feels like an olive leaf of, of a sort between these factions where, where maybe real work gets done more often and, and it's a little less backstabby or whatever. But I'm,

I don't feel like I'm that naive anymore. And I don't think that'll probably happen. So, At the end of it, I just went, and Justin's probably right. They're just going to have lunch and stuff. A lot more lunches, food, you know? Well, I mean, I think more might get done now because what you can say by the last four years is everybody in politics made a lot of money. And they made a lot of money being very, very mad about how much money the other group of people were making, which in terms, which in turn made, everybody else mad which made them give money to the politicians right we don't know whether or not that's the case right now we don't know exactly how much people are going to be dialed in we don't

know uh uh you know what what what what it's going to be and a 50 50 50 Senate is a tricky thing to navigate like you are a you don't have one party that can block stuff you got two so i think it is advantageous for for both of them to say all right well let's let's let things kind of go forward a little bit more. But you are right, Scott. At the end of the day, all roads lead to lunches for the Senate. Just as I suspected. All right.

If they don't, if the Trump thing, you know, post-election impeachment removal, trial, all that stuff, does or doesn't happen. I want to try to get you to make a broad prediction here. let's jump to 2024 who do you if you had to pick today we have to yes i mean are we gonna really like i'm doing very well with the chat right now no one's called me a white supremacist and a racist yet can i please go one i do one segment where i you're not going to make me talk about trump here's all i want because i don't i don't let's forget about trump for now let's say he's out of it and and i know that you know if if he was actually removed by the senate and the vote went

through he can't run for office again if they don't he could but let's just for a second pretend he's not going to run again at all and has nothing to do with anything in 2024 okay other than an influence on the side right body it'll be his kids so that's part of my question do you what who do you think in this in this fracturing and and you know kind of messy internal goings on in the republican party right now in terms of you know identity and who's who and what's what what what conservative doesn't mean anymore and, you know, are we queuing on? Are we not queuing on? All this sort of thing. Who in that miasma, do you, do you, if you had to pick today, because I like when you make predictions, who do you say, oh, yeah, that guy will be the

front runner in 2024. Again, no, no Donald J. Trump in the mix. And you can use one of his kids if you want, but who do you think, who do you think is that guy or lady? Um, is it Josh Hawley? Is it Josh Hawley? Is it. No, it's very hard. It's very hard because there was a meta and then January 6th, I think, really shook it up. Yeah. But we don't know exactly how much it got shaken up. So the meta before January 6th was whether or not Trump runs again, there is this working class Trump base that people are going to want to.

inherit, right? And among the people that would most likely inherit it were were Mike Pence, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, blah, blah, blah. Um, Mike Pence took himself out of that running, uh, leading up to and during, uh, January 6th because he kind of like reestablished himself with this other side of the like, we, we described that on PX3. as the splitting of the GOP into the ye old and Yeha Republicans. And so the ye old are going to be principled. You're going to hear that a lot. Principled conservatism, a bedrock.

We're going to go back to the way it used to old glory, blah, blah, blah. Bring him sexy back. What was that? Bring in sexy back. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, if you consider a heritage foundation luncheon, a real erotic affair, it is bringing sexy back. Wow.

Meanwhile, you have the Yehaha Republicans, which is going to be the kind of like rebranded version of Trump's base working class, not the country club. This is the dive bar. This is going to be trying to hoover up some of the. the voters that the Democrats are leaving behind as they become ever more coastal and college educated you you you want to take that element of of the country up to and including a lot of increased minority support so right now I have I have no idea if I were to make a guess of people with really high profiles and executive experience that might have the juice it would be Pence, but I also think he's a terrible candidate. So I have, I have no idea. Yeah.

I kind of don't either, which is why I ask, because normally I could go, well, you know, that rising star, so and so. But it feels like that all got, those eggs got scrambled a bit earlier in the month and I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I mean, look, what happened on the sixth is by all available polling and by anecdotal observation is, was was a bridge too far, you know, if they had stayed outside the Capitol and just chanted, it would have been something that I think Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz would still be there saying, well, you know, look, if Trump's old and he decides he doesn't want to run or God forbid something happens to him health-wise, then then that's, that's theirs for the taking. But as soon as they run up into

the Capitol and start, you know, smashing stuff and stealing laptops and trying to sell it to the Russians and the Q shamans there and all that. Like, you know, that, that, that, that, that kind of takes it from a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a question. And in general, that is an all or nothing proposition. And you can't do that from inside the government. Yeah. Yeah. Like that, my favorite video, uh, because lately there been a bunch of video taken inside there

during the riot and being now just surfacing and some of it is freaky but some of it is like there's this guy who's rifling through ted cruz's desk in the senate chamber yeah and he says it's fine it's fine i think ted would want me to do this he'd want me to do this yeah he's just ripping through rifle cruz would be okay with this yeah it'd be fine with it and i'm like i don't know even if he likes you i don't think he'd be i mean i'll tell you what the funny thing is is if the opinion polls had stayed higher Ted Kurz might have brought him on stage and said, I think that you're a great person, and I'm very glad that you stole my papers.

That's a pretty good, Ted Cruz. Not bad. All right. Well, that's where we're at, everybody. Tomorrow's the big day. I saw that they, because they can't do so much of this in-person stuff, they put a flag out for every person that would be there. I think, yeah, of all the,

the representatives of I think it's like 200 and something flags of all the or no maybe less than that of all the states and territories it's a thing they got a lot of flags they're going to flag it up

and there's going to be a lot of music Garth Brooks is going to perform let me ask you this you know the new radicals are going to reunite Scott. I heard about this. I hear they get what they do you not hear about this the new time in 20 years is going to reform so wait doesn't that include uh isn't Marilyn Manson's in that group or something no no no they talk they name check Marilyn Manson there was like uh they named check Marilyn Manson and Courtney Love and Courtney Love fashion fashion shows with Beck and Hanson Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson you're all fakes run to your mansions come around we'll kick your ass yeah oh that's what I'm thinking then. Okay.

All right. I wonder if they're going to replace those lyrics. Because they're a little dated now. I don't know if you could kick your ass in at an inauguration. No, but it rhymes is the problem. So you got to figure out a new a new couplet for mansions. I was thinking a lot about them after I read that news because number one, I mean, that single still is great.

It is an awesome single. It retains some of that late 90s vibe without feeling super. late 90s. Someday we'll know. That was the other big single they had. They were a two hit wonder, yeah. But yeah, they broke up right after that. And I guess the guy was a producer and a lyricist for a bunch of other people.

But it'll be interesting to see them. But in listening to You Get What You Give, I was like, oh, man, these guys really filled the Maroon 5 slot before Maroon 5 came around. They kind of did, yeah. Yeah, they prepared the way. So if the new radicals are getting back together. Al-Setto lead kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this gives me more hope for a spin doctor's reunion.

Yeah. Well, you've been chomping at the bit for that for years. Just chomping at the bit for that. Aren't they still touring? No, the dude, the dude performs solo. The singer guy, right? Singer guy. God, what's his name?

He actually had throat cancer. issues for a while, if I remember correctly. It was some sort of medical issue. They were doing not too long ago, though, right? A couple years ago? Oh, were they? Maybe they've already gotten back together and I didn't know. Broke up again. Man. Catch up.

There was an opportunity. Chris Barron. That's it. Chris Barron. Ashley knows one of the people who's playing in Spin Doctors and we were invited. They were

playing at this this festival about an hour and a half north of us and uh we were invited to go hang out with them and uh we just didn't because it was an hour and a half away that's a reason enough for me a lot well okay i i grossly exaggerated the size of the split what's great is wikipedia has those stripes that tell you the members of a band and like how they changed around i love those those infographics yeah yeah yeah so you can see who is there the entire time yeah right exactly and there's like Chris Barron, Eric Schenckman, and Aaron Cornus are the three guys who've, or four guys, Mark White, who've been in the whole time. But there's a large gap in the early 2000s, late 90s, early 2000s where nothing's happening.

And I think that's where I heard that they broke up. And I thought it was some sort of medical issue with, uh, I'm glad to hear it isn't. That does sound familiar. It sounds like they might have taken a, uh, oh yeah, here we go. Uh, May 17th, 1999, two weeks before the release. of their album. Here comes the bride. Baron woke up unable to talk. Lost his voice due to a rare acute form of vocal cord paralysis that severely affected his ability to talk, let alone sing. Weird. You got a 50-50 chance of ever talking or singing normally again. And then his voice came back

in early 2000. That's crazy. So that's why they went quiet. It wasn't because the band broke up or something. That's right. Literally went quiet. Yeah. That's insane. That's better than cancer, though. That's way better than cancer. Yeah, way better than cancer. Yeah, I'm going to start a band called Better Than Cancer. It's going to be awesome. Better than cancer. That feels like more of an album. It does. Yeah. Well, we'll see what we can get in. In fact, your band name should just be cancer. Yeah, there you go. And the album should be better than cancer. Better than cancer. Yeah, I like it. Well, we've, we've solved all the problems. That included. Hey, Justin, it's always fun to have you on. On Tuesdays wouldn't be the same without it. But there's more. And is there anything

I just don't know if I have the, if I have the fortitude to walk a walk around and just have people, have it dawn on people like, is that? Is that the same guy?

Is he wearing anything at all? Is he wearing your own? Should I be mad at him? Because he's not wearing a mask. But is it actually If I wore a picture of my face on a mask Then people would know what my face looked like Yeah actually maybe you're on to something here

at the Tickin Spa in Santa Monica which cleanses her private parts in uterus and provides... Some people are performed this? It was a place. It's the sorting hats. You're going to go to the mugworth V-steam. treatments at the Tickland Spa.

I made you an Apple watch band from my own human hair. Mr. Tensch, have I not told you how I made this thing. Hello Agent Ford, hello agent Tinch. You know, I was going to throw that lawnmower out, but you know, be a much better idea

is to shoot that shit. Shake and fill up with Tanner Eye and go shoot it in the wood. That's right. Well, case the loop, it's going to be my appetizer. I'm going to have a taco salad and a mixing pizza right after you. Did you take these same seven ingredients and make a whole other dish? That's right. Thank you.

This next paragraph is a quote. You need to do it in one of your accents for the Australian. All right. This is a female. So higher voice. Australian. All right, here we go. It had to jump a couple of fences to actually get to me.

And by the last fence, I thought, oh, my God. This kangaroo is not going to stop. I like that you prefaced it by saying, all right, female. and then just didn't do anything close. Exactly. Or are you saying all females in Australia sound like men. Oh, that part about the seven ingredients made me laugh. I don't know why.

Also, you doing a voice of what's his name on that show and talking about Agent Tens, make me miss that show. Oh, I know. Yeah, it makes me miss Mind Hunter. So good. Gosh, dang it from Netflix. Work a deal out. Come back, Mind Hunter.

All Red. Oh no, I think that might be his last name. But it's in parentheses. I thought that might be his chat room name. I don't know who you are in the real world or on the fake world. But in my spreadsheet, you're known as Lex. I have a, I have a niece. I have a niece. named Lexi, and we call her Lex, and her last name is Allred. So we have a Lex Allred in my family. Yeah. Anyway. Did she used to own a coffee shop?

No. Nope. She's too young. I think she, 20, I think she's 20. Okay. Yeah, it's a little young to be used to owning a coffee shop. I'll tell you how I figured that out. So Lex's email begins, I used to own a coffee shop.

And this person was a regular visit. When I found out he made music professionally, I looked him up and found this amazing cover. I'm also a big fan of his blues rock project, Raven Eye, but this is such a fun cover. I keep going back to it. The performer's name is Ollie Brown, O-L-I-Brown, and this is some great men. It's an all-blues rock music day here on the show, which is just fine with me. It's a great, great genre. This is Ollie Brown from the 2010 album, Heads I Win, Tales You Lose.
