Side kicks and round houses with jury and more on this episode of the morning stream.
This is the new baby in our family.
A baby doll.
A famous doll.
Archie Bunker's grandson, Joey Stivik.
So of course, he's special.
Your child can give him a drink.
from his bottles, then he wets.
And when his diaper is changed,
it's clear that Joey Stivick is a physically correct boy doll.
My husband and I think that's terrific.
Archie Bunker's grandson, Joey Stivik, by ideal,
is a physically correct boy doll.
What a great idea.
Kahnida!
The Morning Stream!
The Morning Stream!
It's like this show that you're listening to right,
now, but better.
Welcome back to the show, everybody.
This is the morning stream for Tuesday, May 11th, 2021.
I'm Scott Johnson with Brian.
Hi, Brian.
Hi, Scott.
How are you?
I'm good.
I watched Akira again, which is why this happens.
Kane da!
Because that's a great movie.
Tetsuo!
Kine da!
Oh, that's good.
Every time we have a Canadian,
Canada
Every time Jeff writes in
Or something we should play that
Canada
Our Canada reference there
Totally should, yes exactly
But yeah
Did you know there was a doll
Based on Archie Bunker's
grandson?
I had no idea
And I had no idea that it was
What was their term?
Physically correct?
Physically correct boy doll
Physically correct
Physically correct boy doll
Is their words
Just say he has a penis
Golly
Just you know
Isn't that weird
It's weird
Just say that he's got a meat head.
Yeah.
His head is of meat.
He is of meat.
He's got a meat head.
Oh, man, ask your great uncle on that one.
Right, exactly.
It's a stellar Carol O'Connor impersonation that four people will say.
That's pretty good, Brad.
Still can't quite get over the idea that the guy's name was Carol, but that's just me.
Anyway, the next time you see your doll, check and see.
Physically correct boy doll.
Is it a physically correct?
Boydoll.
Physically correct boy doll.
All right.
Hey, we're going to, I guess there was a little talking about a doll with a penis.
There was a trend there for a while, I think, in the 70s where they were making a big deal out
of, hey, kids should see what's going on down there down south.
Maybe Betsy Wetsy or whatever it was called.
Yeah.
It's like, here's a little JJ.
Here's a little Pedro going to Virginia, you know.
And they enjoyed themselves.
Anyway, it's the 2020s now
So different time, different place
And we're here
I got some advice right at the top of the show
Because this is important
I think I may have found
The source of my weird dream problem
Oh really? Okay, wow
And I think you
Don't remember your dreams
Or have them very often
Because I already know how you've solved this
So this will make sense in a second
Sure
So last night I said to myself
before I go to bed here, I'm going to make a point of when I'm having a dream and I feel
myself kind of jolted awake by it, which happens a lot, which is why I think I remember these
so well, I'm going to look and see what time it is.
My theory is, my feeling during the night is it's happening all night long.
That's the feeling of it.
But the theory is, in actuality, it's only happening at a certain time.
The weird dream is only happening at a certain time.
Right. Or any dreams. It's just happening at like one time.
And it's the thing that's making me restless and white up and everything.
Before you go into deep sleep, you're in that REM sleep and...
Sure.
Who knows?
But my thinking...
You're losing your religion.
Yeah, were you losing my religion?
That's me in the corner, by the way.
It's me in the corner.
So I hear, or I feel like if I looked at the clock, it would at least tell me something.
And I don't even have to do much other than note it.
Just like, okay, what time was that?
Okay.
Tomorrow I'll figure out.
So I did this.
Oh, I got you.
So you're remembering your dreams because you're kind of planting a flat.
in time with the clock.
Right.
Or moreover, I'm trying to find out if I'm having all these dreams at the same time every day.
Because I think that's what's happening.
So here's what happens.
What I thought was middle of the night, I have a big sequence of weird dreams.
And I wake up, it's almost 6 o'clock in the morning when this is happening.
Okay.
I'm up in less than an hour anyway, right?
Like it's not.
But in my head and in my restfulness, I'm thinking, oh, it's like three.
why is this happening. That's how it feels. But I look at the clock and it's like, oh, it's like I'm 45
minutes from getting up anyway. Like, no big deal. And I wonder, I'm going to do it again tonight.
I wonder if all of this is happening at my latest stage of sleep. Like I'm about to get up anyway.
And I actually did have a good night's sleep. I actually slept from 1030 or 11 all the way straight up until
6.30. Maybe it was totally fine. It's just that that tail end, there's like some kind of blowout of
dream blowout where I just go, bleh dreams! Blah! You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't know.
Interesting. Okay. And maybe you avoid it because you get up at like four and then stay up.
Well, last night I didn't fall asleep until about midnight. And then I slept right until six.
Oh, that's not bad. Yeah. I think if I just shift, if I just shift the sleep business, then I don't wake up as early. I normally get up at six anyway. Like I normally,
and lately last night aside it's like 530 that I wake up but you're the you're the only person
I've known in my life who is both at the same time a morning and a night person at the same time yeah
I know I really am if I could figure out some way to uh I don't know maybe maybe a midday nap or
something is what I need right just like yeah quick power nap although people that claim they can
do like a 20 minute power nap well that's that's dark magic I can't do that I don't know what
they're talking about exactly i tried doing that for a little bit and uh could not do it but i literally
can't do it i can't even come close to it i'll lay there for 20 minutes being annoyed that i'm laying
there for 20 minutes it's not going to happen right right so uh for those if you got you got some tips
you know just uh throw those our way yeah the dark comfortable box yeah like basically a
you just put yourself into a little hyperbaric chamber or something yeah yeah and uh
Yeah, and let us know, because we need to learn how to be better sleeping men.
It's not happening here.
Yeah, we're bad sleeping men is what we are.
Bad sleeping men.
Okay, speaking of bad men.
Yes.
Not really.
Very bad men.
Bad men, Jenny.
Very bad man.
Very bad.
I love that guy.
Michael wrote in.
This is from Michael.
He sent this email to the morning stream at gmail.com, and he says the following.
this is in regards to those Mickey D's
or McDonald's ice cream machines
always being broken when people go by them.
And Michael says, hey, I recently heard you talking about these ice cream machines at McDonald's,
and I recently discovered this journalist who did a whole investigation
and found something underhanded and a lawsuit was even involved.
Oh, wow.
He used to make videos for Vox News, but now because of the pandemic,
he has turned to YouTube for his work.
So he's an independent filmmaker guy.
You may have heard of John Harris since he went to BYU.
Oh, I know who, John.
I've actually seen some of his work.
All right.
I didn't know it was the same guy.
He's got a hard-hitting expose, apparently, about McDonald's ice cream machines.
Apparently.
He was a BYU film student, spent a lot of time in Utah, and even did a video documenting
him doing the rare subway hike on his channel.
Anyway, his short video on ice cream machines is available up on YouTube.
Love the show.
Keep it up, Michael.
So I haven't watched this, yes, but yeah, but I'm going to.
But apparently, it goes deep into, like, what's the freaking deal?
and it's more nefarious than you think, whatever that means.
Really? Okay.
I think they're just, they're just faultily made and easily prone to breakage.
I mean, that'd be, that's Occam's Razor, and I agree with it.
However, I like the, okay, in a world filled with really dumb conspiracy theories.
Yeah, this is a conspiracy that'd be kind of fun to believe.
This would be fun, yeah.
This would be a good time to have a conspiracy theory around.
McDonald's ice cream stuff.
I had to listen to somebody yesterday
go on for, I don't know how long that
person talked. And it's a long story.
I'm not going to get into it, but talking about how
they've got
video that will prove the earth is flat
and they finally
got someone who got all the way to the ice
wall and was able to get back with video
of it and all this bullshit.
Where did you listen to this person
for that long story? It was a stupid
it was a Zoom call I didn't want to be on.
Let's just say that.
If I say any more, as a certain person who listens to this,
is going to get mad at me for bringing it.
Well, I mentioned this certain person who listens who knows you were on a Zoom call all right here.
Yeah, they know.
I just don't, if I give too many details, it's going to implicate them.
Oh, gotcha.
But they claim there's a giant ice wall.
Really?
Yeah, then that's how you know where the edge is.
That's where John Snow lives.
That's right.
That's man on the wall.
That's right.
And he basically, no, you can't go any further.
A halt.
the edge of the world is right behind me turn around go home
and the big thing in the past of people have always said
this is a long time theory I guess amongst the flat earthers
but no one had ever gotten proof or even video
yeah and so the claim right now is that
oh somebody's gotten through there with video
they weren't able to confiscate it
now we'll prove it's been and my whole thing with this
I'll just say this about flat earthers real quick
okay
to what end
does it matter like in other
words, if it, let's just say in the wildest dreams of the biggest psycho I know, that it's
flat, okay, and that we've been fooled this entire time and convinced by our governments and
whatever, they've all come together. They hate each other and want to take each other over,
but in this one case, they all came together and joined hands and said, let's fool the people
into thinking the world's flat. To what end? For what reason? There's no reason for it. There's no,
like giant money reason there's no like uh there's nothing it was just the it was just all the
governments of the world getting together to say you know what i bet we could do this let's let's see
if we could do this no reason let's just see if we can yeah i guess people that the earth is around
yeah i mean and if they if it's just like the longest running troll move and that's what they're
saying okay whatever man yeah but i'm just i just find it really i say governments around the world
That's kind of funny when I'm talking about this hypothetical flat earth situation.
Well, I mean, you know, the idea that, you know, for example, Israel and Palestine, they just can't get along.
Right now there's some bombings going on.
Like they're just always, you know, intermittently fighting and wars and everything.
But on this one issue, they're in unison.
Let's convince the people that the earth is flat.
That's right.
That's right.
Yes.
Yemen and Saudi Arabia coming together to join hands and convince people that the world is flat.
Yeah, America and Russia.
Forget the Cold War.
Sure, we wanted to nuke each other into annihilation that entire time
and stared each other down through the 70s and 80s.
But you know what?
At the end of the day, at least we kept that ruse up that the world's round.
Do we know what they think is on the other side of the world then?
Like if it's flat on this side, it's got to be flat on the other side,
and what's on the other side?
Their claim, my understanding is that they haven't been allowed to go see it.
and that anyone who gets to see it will be killed anyway
so you'll never find out what's there
because again it's somehow this secret
So there you go
That's what the governments are hiding
There's something on the other side of the world
That the government's like
Oh we want this all to ourselves
Yeah
Let's convince everybody that it's around
So that we can have these
This giant amusement park
All to ourselves with no lines
Can you imagine like a pilot's convention
you know, pre-COVID or whatever,
but all the pilots, they're in Vegas for a big convention
for all the pilots, American Airlines, Delta,
everybody's together,
and they're all swapping stories of piloting
and talking about industry stuff and everything,
but they're all the whole time going,
make sure you don't tell anybody that we know.
Because they would have to know, right?
They'd have to know about the flatness.
But they'd all know, right?
So they wouldn't have to tell each other.
It's like, you know, if you want to be a pilot,
first thing you have to do is sign this NDA saying
that anything you learn as a pilot,
But you can't share with the people.
Unless it is, look out your left side.
You're going to see the Grand Canyon.
Is a boat full of flat earthers being shot from a helicopter.
That's right.
Because they found the ice wall.
And now I'm going to arrive.
Just passing now over Area 51 where the government has been hiding.
Yeah, I don't know.
Chat wants to know, Claire Gagg wants to know if Harrison Ford would know the secrets because he's a pilot.
Oh, right.
I think, I don't know.
You have to be like a multi-continental sort of airline pilot.
I know this golf course is flat.
Yeah.
Dad, this flat earth belongs in a museum, dad, I'd say.
Yeah, I don't know.
That whole thing is real dumb.
But, uh, yeah.
I had a fun on that call anyway, not really.
And, uh, anyway, I will check this out.
Here's where they, uh, film the moon landing.
Uh, it was all here on Earth for anyway.
I didn't notice that.
Thank you.
We know you have a choice in airlines,
so we appreciate you.
Our Frontier flight staff will be coming around
for the third time this flight with a credit card application forms.
Can I do Flint Frontier here as well,
or is that just a Denver thing?
I've never heard of it until you told me about Frontier.
What?
Yeah.
We've flown Frontier to Salt Lake before.
Okay.
Yeah, I guess I've just never looked at them or noticed them.
Did I say Flintier or did you say Flintier?
One of us said Flintier.
Can we say Fluntier?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Probably me.
I wouldn't doubt it.
Denver is a Frontier hub, but you can definitely fly.
You might, when you fly Frontier from Salt Lake City, you might go through Denver if you're
going east as a hub.
But if you're going, you probably can go, I would imagine that you can go Salt Lake to
Los Angeles or Orange County via Frontier.
Frontier. Okay. Because for me,
whenever I make the choice, it's always
United used to be in the mix, but not anymore. I freaking hate them.
But it was always Delta,
and then if you didn't, if you, if you hated
yourself, Southwest.
Now, Southwest is better
than they used to be, okay? They used to be kind of
garbage and it's still a bit of a cattle car,
but it's, it's a well-run cattle car now.
It is. You know what? The little groups,
you know, letting people on in the little groups
to get your seat.
Once you're used to it, it's like, oh, yeah, as long as you get an early, just make sure
you get an early thing.
It's like if you're going to pay $15 to buy a seat on, or I'm sorry, if you're
going to pay $30 to buy a seat on Frontier, you spend half that for $15 for early boarding
on Southwest, and you get, you'll get the seat you want.
Yeah.
You mean, I get the row you want, but if you want an aisle seat, you'll get an aisle seat.
I guess the problem I had with them or the thing I didn't like about them was in
early days, they had the seats facing
each other. The facing each other, yeah.
That sucks. That sucks.
Yeah, I've never been,
if I've been on a flight that had it,
I've never been in a seat where I've
faced the other person. It sucks
because your knees are touching.
Like, it's just, it's horrible
dude.
And the guy crosses some Idaho,
he's a homophobic Idaho farmer
who does not want his knees touched.
And boy, if you come and contact
at all, I don't hear him complaining about it.
he's got a secret he ain't told no one about that's right well anyways
do they but they want to give you if they give you a table at least right like a table across
between the four that'd be okay but they don't do that they don't do that they just it's like
you're you're facing strangers whether you care to or not right um even if you got them
that's the part i only care about the knees touching i just don't want to like look up and
just see somebody staring at me because they forgot to bring a magazine or book or
a tablet onto the flight.
Right.
Instead,
how are people still doing that?
How are,
well,
at least last time I flew,
how are people still doing that?
I don't know.
Being on a plane
without something to read
or look at or do.
Yeah.
Bring something like you learn that as a kid.
Take something to occupy your time.
You're going to be bored.
Yep.
Yep.
When a grown man sitting there
in his business suit just staring ahead,
freaking no.
I did,
I've used up my,
finally,
as of a couple days ago,
finally spent my
frontier voucher that was left over
from the canceled TMS Vegas from
2020. Oh, nice. What'd you use it for? Or how'd you...
Well, I've got my... So, we've got
four trips planned for the next 10 months.
Yeah.
Cramming it all in. I've got to go out and see my dad in
Vermont. So...
Vegas, Ireland, Vermont, Japan.
That's a good use of that ticket. Do that.
Yes.
Ticket prices are pretty good. I'd rather do that. Although
four hours on a frontier flight is
a lot worse than an hour and a half on a frontier flight to Vegas.
Yeah, I can imagine.
I don't know.
Frontier, man.
Especially when your trade table is the size of a pack of gum.
Yeah, but now you feel like you're like the first explorers on a frontier flight?
You're like branching out into new horizons and discovering for the first time.
That's how they want you to feel on Frontier.
Sure.
Yeah.
I'm traveling over the new frontier.
Yeah, whatever.
But not really.
But not really.
uh all right well there's there's all that uh there's all that there is all that and more and my wife
i mean she was just here a second ago but she she's this morning says hey you must have slept really
well and i said really she goes yeah you didn't hardly move all night and that's the other piece
of proof that i maybe am dreaming all at like six like six a.m is all the dreaming and what i should
do is the minute that dreaming kicks in is just assume oh it's six that's my new alarm i'm getting up i'll
just get up well but you're
dreaming. So your body, well, I guess unless you do that lucid dreaming thing, but it's not like
you're going to know, oh, I'm dreaming now, time to get up. Well, those dreams wake me up is the problem.
Oh, they do. Okay. Yeah. And so my thinking is the next time I have a weird dream where I'm like,
oh, I'm climbing the Eiffel Tower with a naked man or whatever my dream is, then I'll wake up.
Serving Johnny Depp to the world, the people of the world. Instead of me going, oh, it's 2.30.
I still need sleep time. I'll go, oh, it's probably six. I'll just get the F up and be done with my day.
There you go.
We'll see how it goes.
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, gather around.

peeperspuppets.com.
That's Peeperspuppets.com.
Made by our own
red fraggle in the chat.
That's right. Amy Robinson.
Yeah. She's got this cool
company and you all should support it very very cool stuff all right people are claiming
that if you eat old raw meat it will get you high yeah well uh it'll have some effect on you
that you might call high right like yeah an altered state perhaps yeah exactly i don't know
about high and nauseousness yeah and explosive diarrhea yeah that's a state of highness yeah exactly
It says here, in the realm of bewildering food trends, there are things that still sound a little unusual, but still generally safe for consumption, like deep-fried water.
Have you heard of that before?
I've never heard of that before.
I have.
I don't want to know more about it, but I have heard of it.
Vegan flour-based chicken and pork flavored ice cream.
These are just a few of the things that should make you all go, ugh.
But then there are people who eat raw meat that has been left to rot for months, even years, claiming that it gets them.
high. Thriving among the community of adventurous meat eaters is high meat. But they really
stretched for that name. Yeah. High meat. Yep. High meat. Which refers to basically any type
of raw meat that is stored untreated for months before eating. Those brave enough to try the
peculiar food have reported feelings of euphoria after consumption. But experts, just a shocker, advise
against it. Huh, really? Don't eat the rotting
raw meat. Okay. I'm trying to think of a case where I would even eat raw
meat. I mean, other than like tuna or like a salmon, you know, stuff that's meant to be.
I mean, you've had savić. That's true.
Uh, anything else though? Like, I've never had raw chicken of any kind. I'll never do that.
Yeah, you're definitely not supposed to. There's no, there's no, as far as I know and somebody's
going to, oh, I actually, Brian and
Zaire, they do the farm
of this, but I don't think there's any
possible, any, like,
raw chicken consumption,
recommended consumption.
Yeah, I don't think that exists.
But beef, you know, beef you can do
raw if it's
treated.
I think steak tartar, right, is
uncooked, is raw meat.
And you have to, like, super trust
the source. Like, you really do.
Yes, exactly. It's got, the, the,
the, the,
Cal had to be, has had to have been refrigerated, um, prior to death.
Yep.
And then.
Hand wiped every time it took a dump.
Right.
Exactly.
Yeah.
All that stuff.
Uh, someone in the chat says, kimchi.
Kimchi is not meat.
Just for the record.
There's no meat in kimchi.
And also that's even a special process.
It's fermentation.
So we're talking about meat that is just left to its own devices.
Now, um, I don't know.
Well, basically, if you put this in an old public bathroom, it's going to be a worse piece of meat in six months than if you put it in a, like, hermetically sealed freaking clean room and let it rot in there.
So it's probably a different process.
But still, I don't know why you do this.
It's like Homer and his sandwich.
He kept putting it under the couch or whatever.
Why would you do that?
So apparently there's a Claire found an article in Japan.
There's a place where you can get raw chicken sashimi, basically.
Nope.
Uh, nope, thanks, I'll pass.
Nope.
Does this feel like this, this eating, old rotting meat thing feels like a problem that might take care of itself?
Kind of, yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like, I feel like if there's a real trend toward this, it will help even out some other numbers, if you know what I'm saying.
Yeah.
That's terrible.
I don't want people to die.
The point is, don't eat raw meat is the thing.
I don't care how high you get.
You know what you could do.
Drugs, they'd make you high.
Yeah.
Right.
I'm not saying do drugs either.
I'm just saying, you know, you still might get doctors saying, yeah, don't do drugs either.
But there are far fewer doctors who will say, you know, don't smoke pot versus don't eat raw meat, rotting meat.
Yeah.
It's the gateway drug to other rotten foods.
Now, raw drugs, on the other hand.
It says here, there isn't a whole lot of information online about high meats besides being discussed over the years in obscure corners of the internet like our carnivorous Reddit threads.
and paleo diet blogs.
The controversial food received renewed attention recently
when it became the subject of a collective intrigue on Twitter.
So every once in a while, this stuff comes up,
and people are into doing it.
If anyone out there listening is doing this or has done it,
tried it once, you know, on a freaky college weekend, whatever,
I would like to know more about it.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't want to try it.
I am not rotten meat curious.
Nope.
You don't even bother sending us a package of raw meat.
We are not going to eat.
eat it. Yeah, I just want to know how long
were you on your toilet for the next
five days.
I know. I like a
raw, like I like a good, rare steak,
but I like it nice and seared and, you know.
Yes. It still has to reach an internal
temperature that is, that will
cool, or that will kill
food-borne illnesses. That's right.
If you don't do that, what are we even doing?
My wife can't do that. She has to have,
it's got to be well done
no matter what. You can't do that.
Yeah, Tina, Tina cooks her
Stakes to oblivion as well
At least with you know
The sous vide is kind of a way around that
Because I've prepared some
Medium Rare steaks
In the sousvide
And Tina's been like
Okay this is really good
It's like okay you trust
Because you know
Once you see it's our
The thing has been sitting in
A 140 degree water
For three hours
You know the meat has gotten up to 140 degrees
You know it's killed off anything in there
Then you can start to taste
The flavors of the meat itself
If you don't need, drench it in A1 or I still like a little bit of horseradish.
Raw horseradish, please.
Yes, that's so good.
It is good.
Don't give me that creamy stuff unless you've really just got no raw.
Yeah, if you don't have any, you got no raw, fine.
Bring me the other.
Fine, fine.
But you better have that raw, son.
Exactly.
What's the Sears sauce is pretty good, too.
Yeah, it's not bad.
Good old what's this here sauce.
If somebody came to you, let's do it.
let's do an if or and or what's the what's the word what's the phrase where you just for that this or that is that it okay somebody comes to you they got a plate full of raw high meat okay and it's been in i don't know the rotting stage for two months so there's a two month sure piece of beef there you got to eat i'm taking whatever the other option is okay the other option is sick liquid worse it's um a random
prison inmate's urine.
Oh, geez.
Yeah, he's been in there for years.
Real hard, boiled guy.
And this is his, this is his pee.
It's a little viscous now.
And it's, I don't know, let's see.
We're going to say it's about half this water bottle full.
I'm not playing this damn game.
There's like, there's like floaters in it.
It's a real rough deal.
It looks like kombucha.
There's like a fuzz on the walls of,
the glass.
There's sediment at the bottom.
Yeah.
So which would you do?
How much of either do I have to ingest?
You have to eat the whole piece of meat or the entire half bottle of pee.
I'm not doing it.
There is.
Okay.
In this horrendous, I guess I'm going to die anyway situation, I think I would still drink
the urine.
Oh, gosh.
Yeah.
I think so too, though.
Right?
Yeah.
What else am I going to do?
There's no option.
But I might accidentally break the bottle that the urine is in and slash my wrist so I don't have to do either.
Now, what if the meat netted you $1 billion and the pee netted you $50,000?
I'd still take the pee.
Yeah.
I think I would too.
Although a billion would buy some pretty good health care right after you ate it.
It might be too late.
I mean, you know, there's only so much, so much stomach pumping you can pay for.
Dice tomato.
Before or after tax?
You never add tax to these.
Exactly.
Never.
You never get tax.
Yeah, in these scenarios, there are no taxes.
And besides, billionaires don't pay taxes.
Name a billionaire who pays real taxes.
It's bad news for you.
Making liquid right now, as a matter of fact.
This is a Weight Watchers.
Coffee smoothie.
Oh, how is it?
It's actually really good.
Not bad.
It's all right.
It's, um, you know what tastes like?
It's like a, um, carnation instant breakfast.
If you remember the flavor of those.
I do.
Back in the day.
Yeah.
Um, but coffee flavored.
So it's kind of that.
Hmm.
It's good.
Uh, it crushed it up with some ice and made a little, uh, a little smoothie out of it.
I used to love those in high school.
I thought I was really, you know, breaking the chain by eating one of those in the morning.
And I was like, yeah, I'm good all day.
Everybody.
Good luck with your saving.
Yeah, I say I shaved a whole 10 minutes off my morning commute to the bus.
That's right.
Half an hour later, hey, you're going to eat that?
You're going to finish that?
Can I eat that?
Yeah.
Sounds all right.
Oh, I heard from Fridays, by the way.
Oh, okay.
Well, I thought you did already.
Like the manager to contact you and apologize for the hot dog, disappointing hot dog meal experience.
Oh, I got, well, I got a reply after my reply, which was, oh, thanks.
I appreciate it.
We don't want anyone fired.
We still love Fridays.
You guys are cool and whatever.
He sent back.
Oh, okay.
A load of, you know, free deals.
Pretty good.
A lot of freebie coupons.
Yeah.
I'm not saying I want restaurants to screw up so I can go after their coupons, but I'm just working the system.
It's fine.
Well, and it's, you know, it does benefit them when you let them know that they're doing something wrong because this is kind of like the thing that, oh, how did it come up?
what's that phrase like one person will tell you that they're disappointed in the service you provide
but 10 people feel the same way and they're not bothering to tell you kind of thing right you know so for every
so you know it costs them nothing right they're throwing you a few hamburger coupons whatever right
they're getting a bigger benefit to be able to say okay hey we've had some reports that
the chili dog looks like baby shit in a container you need to do something about that
that and uh yeah i want to read the memo that goes around but yeah like for those who missed the
story the other day i didn't go caring on this at all all i did was say yeah you should just be
aware yeah like we ate it anyway we and i told him that i said it just was a mess and you probably
just should know and it's no big deal and we love freddies thanks we'll keep coming like that it was
it was that kind of thing it was it was as far and it wasn't it wasn't that he tweeted it out and
said freddies yeah yeah it wasn't that wasn't that he was
He used the actual form on the receipt they gave you or whatever and said, hey, here's a problem, which is the way you're supposed to do it.
If you get no service, like I did from Spirit Air by doing that last month, then you can take to Twitter and start poking people with your blue checkmark.
That's right.
Yeah, here's my blue check mark.
Take it.
Exactly.
Well, anyway.
Yes.
So from now on, Scott will be second.
on a chili dog outside the Tasty Freeze.
Which I now know for sure
is the lyric to that song.
Because yesterday I was confused.
Yeah, what did you, what did you think it was something else?
The Tasty Freeze, for some reason I have like vision block on,
and memory block on the Tasty Freeze line.
I don't know why.
I knew of one Tasty Freeze out here in Colorado.
Yeah, we don't have any.
We don't have any.
I think I just thought Mellencamp was just saying words and it just never clicked.
He was Cougar back then.
Scott.
Oh, yeah, he was Cougar.
He was Cougar.
That's right.
First, he was Johnny Cougar.
Like, he had, he had an album under Johnny Cougar, then John Cougar, then John Cougar, then finally John Mellencamp.
Like, it was like watching the slowest Hulk.
Well, hold on.
How's he doing?
He's all right, right?
He's all right.
Yeah, he probably took a year off of Farm A, but probably ready to get back to doing a new.
Oh, yeah.
He hasn't done anything, like, released an album as far as I know in several years.
Well, here it is.
John Melancho, his website looks like a newspaper.
It's kind of funny.
Melanchampel soon returned to the studio to finish recording his 25th album.
Prior to the onset of the global pandemic, he had already cut 10 tracks and plans to record another 17 for the product.
17.
Wow.
That's a lot.
It is a lot.
He's in the process of working on a new musical.
Wow.
Based on Jack and Diane.
Really?
Yes.
Fantastic.
It'll be a little ditty.
There'll be a set of the Tasty Freeze.
We'll just watch them for 20 minutes suck on chili dogs.
It'll be just a little ditty there about Jack and Diane.
I'm looking at all these paintings.
Are these his paintings?
Does he paint?
I don't know.
Oh, weird.
I think he does.
Oh, yeah, he does.
Look at that.
And they're weird.
Yep.
He's a natural.
Storyteller, according to Hillary Sheets from the New York Times.
I like weird paintings, and these are weird.
What's the website? Is it John Mellencamp.com?
Just Mellencamp.com.
Oh, he got in on that.
I mean, I don't know. I got to respect the guy.
It's just having a long-ass career and still kicking it.
I remember all the summers that my parents sent me away to Mellon Camp.
That's not like secret words for Fat Camp or whatever they used to have, right?
That's right.
Melanchamp.
Melanchamp.
Or like girls, well, now I'll stop.
Now I'll stop talking.
Now I'm not going to say anything because I was going to make a girl joke.
And that's about booze.
And I'm not going to do it now.
I'm not going to do it.
He says his new song is, I always lie to strangers.
Oh, geez.
Okay.
Keep that of mind, Johnny Mellencamp, and I see you next.
You're lying to me.
All right. Staying with restaurant food for a moment.
Sure.
An extremely rare calico lobster, which I thought that was a cat, but all right.
Well, yeah, I guess I mean calico. Calico's the coloring.
Is it?
So I guess you just have, yeah.
Oh, that's why this thing looks a little, you know, okay, now I can see it.
Yeah.
I don't think you could probably buy yourself a calico rug, Scott.
Yeah, really pull the room together.
Let's see, extremely rare calico lobster, which I guess means it's.
It's worth a bunch of money, was rescued from the red lobster in Virginia.
That is definitely not a red lobster there.
No.
It was a multi-colored lobster.
A very rare lobster.
A calico lobster lover.
Apparently, the employees recognized its uniqueness and rescued it.
The male calico lobster named freckles by the red lobster team in Manassas.
Arrived at the restaurant on April 25th as part of the main lobster delivery.
When team members recognize the lobster's unique orange and black freckled shell cover,
they reached out to Red Lobster
and their support team
and confirmed it was the rare calico.
They are so rare,
it was almost unbelievable
that we received one,
says a spokesman to CNN.
We are proud of our employees
for recognizing that Freckles
was so special
and reaching out
so that we could make arrangements
for the rescue.
All those poor red ones are like,
well, what the frick?
Exactly.
We're cool, too.
What's the deal?
Let's see,
they're the third rarest lobster
in the world,
by split-colored and albino lobsters.
Oh, I want to see one.
They're also even more delicious.
The chance of catching a calico in the wild or otherwise is one in 30 million.
Wow.
Okay.
That's crazy.
It's funny because I look at this and it's like, okay, yeah, he's speckled, but I don't think, you know, he looks that much different.
I mean, I guess the speckling, all right, I guess.
Yeah, I'm with you kind of.
It just looks like a dirty lobster, man.
He just looks like one of those things from Starship Troopers.
Oh, wow.
I just looked at some pictures of some albino lobsters.
Weird.
Yeah.
Weird.
I don't like it.
They look like, they look more buggy, like a big moth or something.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Ooh, they're kind of transparent.
Yeah, there's translucency.
And they, I'll bet they're, I'm sure they taste fine, but I don't want to.
want to eat that meat.
Sure.
I don't know why.
I just don't want me.
No thanks.
Well, anyway, they do look
like aliens chat room.
That's true.
The deal is,
let's see,
they had to provide the lobster
with a safe home,
restaurant reach out to officials
of the Arcon Zoo
and connected them
with the Virginia Living Museum.
He now lives there.
Akron, did I say?
What did I say?
Arcon.
Arcon?
Arcon.
The Arcon Zoo.
The Arcon Zoo.
The Arcon Zoo.
Neal before me.
acronym. It comes from the fictional land known as Arcon, Ohio.
Oh, my guess there's a solid yellow-colored one.
What?
Oh, is this all at the zoo?
No, I'm just looking.
Are you just looking at lobsters?
Lobsters.
Oh, man, Brian, you got to see this.
Okay.
Really?
All right.
Hold on.
Give me a link.
Let me send you.
I'll put it.
I'll look at your lobster.
I'll look at your shellfish.
Look at this thing.
Would you eat this guy here?
Here, it's going on in the Discord.
Would you eat this guy?
Ooh.
That looks like a
Like something you'd find in an art store in New Mexico
Yeah
Right
That's what I'd say
But apparently I wouldn't eat it
I would take that home and put in a nice big tank
And let it live out its life
Well, in a big tank
Yeah I would too
Chatarum says it looks fake
Maybe it is, I don't know
It does look fake
It's the internet, you know
Yeah
I can't
I can't verify all these things are true
Anyway, so they've got time for that
I've got no time for that
It's, oh, so they're going to keep it there
If you want to go visit it, go to Arkon, Ohio
And they'll hook you up
All right, moving on to a missing Utah woman
This doesn't end
Oh, I heard about this, okay
This doesn't end terribly, although maybe it does for her
Because she's not happy about it, but there was this missing Utah lady
She was finally found in a national forest
reportedly wanted solitude and isolation.
Freaking leave her alone, is what she's saying.
The woman was found living in a national forest earlier this week.
She reportedly told authorities she was in need of an escape while maintaining her anonymity.
The Utah County Sheriff's Office told Fox News that the woman had been living on the land in Diamond Fork for five months
because she wanted solitude and isolation.
Press release issued Monday noted that the 47-year-old woman was reportedly missing by U.S. Forest
service officials in November after they spotted what it appeared to be her abandoned car
and camp gear in the Diamond Fork area of Spanish Fork Canyon. It's very pretty up there.
I can see why she'd go there. On May 2nd, a sheriff's sergeant and drone pilot
discovered the woman's tent not far from where the car was seen.
Quote, her motivation was, in part, for solitude and isolation, says Sergeant Spencer Cannon.
Spencer Cannon.
Officer Cannon. Sergeant Cannon.
Your job is clear.
That's a great name.
Yep. Robbin cars, your checks can't cash. How's it go?
Your mouth's writing checks that your body can't cash or something like that.
I think that's it. That your Johnny can't cash.
The woman was taken to a nearby medical center for a physical and mental health evaluation since it appeared she had lost a considerable amount of weight and was weak.
But from November until today, did all right.
Wow.
Yeah.
I wonder if she, if she was,
She would have reached, like, basically, if her body would have gotten to a place where she was,
she was, like, not losing any further way.
Like, if she was just going to be able to kind of maintain and if she was happy doing what she was doing,
or if it was just like, no, about a month from now, she would have been close to death.
Yeah.
See, this is the point where I, well, we don't know enough about it.
But let's say the evaluation turns up that she's, you know, got all kinds of mental stuff.
mentally, yeah, right.
Then I guess it's okay to tell her not to do it.
But then if she turns out she's not,
she was just like, look, I don't want to live by society's rules
and I'm going to live in a tent somewhere.
I kind of feel like, I don't know, let her do it.
Let her do it.
Yeah.
I mean, it's weird.
Society's weird.
We get so, so weird.
Like back in the, if this is the 1800s,
no one even pay attention.
She just live out there.
But now we have to all worry about, you know,
oh, there's somebody up there.
must be crazy must be insane it's public land that's illegal like we're just i'm not going all
libertarian everybody okay that's not what i'm doing here i'm not i'm not turning into
give me my gun and my goat and i'm just fine up there in the hills that's not what i'm doing
i'm just saying we live in a society that's what i'm saying that's right well she's back
and uh i don't know if anyone i don't know if she had family don't really say but uh you
You ever see that film with the main guy who's an entourage, Claire linked to it?
It's Adrian Greiner, I think, a film called Into the Wild.
Oh, yeah.
It's about a guy who does, oh, no, Emil Hirsch, not Adrian Greiner, Neil Hirsch.
Right, 2007-ish.
Hold on.
Yeah, 2007.
There it is.
Sean Penn directed it.
Look at you.
Yeah.
Sean Penn directed and written, starring Emil Hirsch, Vince Vaughn, Vince Vaughn, and Ken.
Kathleen Keener.
Catherine Keener.
Never saw it.
Harshagay Hardin.
I never saw this movie.
Oh, Kristen Stewart, William Hurt.
Look at his cast.
I forgot all these people are in this.
Zach Gallif and I guess.
Yeah.
Hal Holbrook, one of his final roles.
That's right.
Anyway, it's really good.
It's about a guy who just kind of does the same thing.
But one of the coolest things about it is a really cool Eddie Vetter.
What's it called?
Something.
Oh, soundtrack?
Oh, you mean?
Did the soundtrack.
Yeah.
A big.
Hot sun, a big hot sun?
A hard sun?
Big hard sun?
Soundtrack.
It just sounds wrong.
Written by Gordon Peterson,
performed by Eddie Vedder and Corin Tucker.
The song is, oh, just Hard Sun.
Hard Sun, okay.
S-U-N.
Monkey Wrench Records.
Really good soundtrack.
It sounds like Nomadland, weirdly.
Kind of, yeah.
Yeah, never saw this.
And also, if, it's weird that I remember the year,
but I don't have any recollection.
That's the thing that blows my mind.
Yeah, I don't know how I do that.
Name a movie, Brian, and I'll tell you the year.
Just try it.
Let's see if it actually works.
All right.
Baby's Day Out.
All right.
There is a limit we found out just now.
There's a limit.
My ability to pick the year for a movie.
Chatroom says Top Gun.
1986.
I believe.
Yeah.
Top Gun is 86.
I'm pretty sure that are right.
or 87
88 or 87
Look who's talking
These have to be movies
Oh you have to be movies you like
Oh I see there is a caveat
Oh
Yeah
Except you've ever even seen into the wild
Didn't you do that one
But I bet you've seen look who's talking
Well I free rangers
Ask Mad Max Fury Road
That would be 2015
2015 everyone
Demolition
Man. That was 98, I think.
Oh, let's look.
Yeah, it's, you're, Brian, Brian makes a point.
93. 93. Oh, I'm way off on that one. Okay.
How about the original Judge Dread?
Uh, Judge Dread. 80.
Oh, shit.
Actually, it's probably closer to 91 or 92.
95.
Damn it.
Maybe it's just I'm lucky on a few of these.
I think we were better not to try and force the sausage to be made.
Miravina's Dirty Dancing, 87.
That one's easy.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Scott remembers when you don't put baby in the corner.
I hate that movie.
Plus, I mean, 87, right?
It was a great year for me.
Yeah, it was a great year.
Space truckers, that would have been 90.
Ninety-six, 96, space truckers.
We just did.
We just did it.
Yeah, that probably doesn't count.
My dinner with André.
I'm all out of answers on that one.
I don't know.
Tuesdays with Mori or whatever.
Same thing, same problem.
Come on, it's Wallace-Shun.
It's inconceivable.
All right, speaking of that, Princess Bride.
Oh, Princess Bride, 84.
That's also 87.
Shit.
Oh, how do I have that wrong?
What am I thinking of?
That movie's timeless.
So it doesn't, that one, that one breaks the mold because it feels like it was made yesterday.
Yeah.
Neverending story.
That had to been 82 or 83.
Maybe.
Ah, shit.
Temple of Doom 84.
On Golden Pond, no idea.
The original Mad Max.
Oh, the first Mad Max.
Uh, 80, or 79, I believe.
Is that right?
79. Correct.
Okay.
And then Road Warriors, 84.
81.
Shit.
V for Vendetta,
2000 and
five.
I think it's,
that 2005 is correct.
Okay.
All right, good.
Do you want to end on a win?
Yeah, let's end on a win.
That one's good.
I feel pretty good about a lot of that.
But, you know, I'm not perfect.
All right.
Let's be done and take it very...
Oh, no, I got one more story.
Seven men went around up crematoriums.
Up?
U.P.
What's that?
I think they just wanted to...
Oh, Uttar Pradesh.
I thought they just really wanted to work seven up into a headline.
Seven up, you're right.
Seven men went around U.P. or Uttar Pradesh crematoriums and stole clothes from bodies.
They were arrested.
Oh, of course.
They were all arrested.
This is in Bogpat in western Uttar Pradesh for stealing clothes from the dead.
And this arrest came out at a time where social media and other national dailies have been in cataloging the ever-growing number of dead bodies and deepening coronavirus crisis in the country.
It's weird.
Some people are using that to go steal their clothes.
Anyway, the accused used to steal shroud.
What?
Steal the shroud.
What?
The accused used.
used to steal the shroud used to cover the dead yeah yeah they got the wrong
wrong word there they used would steal the shroud used to cover the dead their clothes
oh their clothes and other stuff okay uther pradesh by the way rishi b corrects us thank you
uttar uther uther uther like uther like the guy that helped train arthus uther yes
with a pen dragon
Let's see
They
What's out?
Police also found some clothing
Remnants or merchants
From the area that had
A deal with these men
And paid them 300 a day
For looting this stuff
Wow
Of the seven arrested three are from the same family
These people have been stealing
For the last 10 years
So it's not like it's anything new
They just are taking advantage of the coronavirus
It's bad over there man
I know it's easy over here to go
Oh we got some vaccinations going
and things are looking good and everything,
but there are parts of the world where,
geez.
Yeah, and it's probably just as dangerous,
well,
or maybe not quite as dangerous,
but still dangerous to take the clothes and sheets and things like that
because they can get these things kind of contained in one area,
but if you're taking fabrics that might,
you know, contain the virus,
I don't know.
I wouldn't take it.
I mean, I wouldn't go near any of that.
that stuff. I don't know why they think that's a good idea and I don't know there's there's questions still on
how long the virus lasts on non you know on objects but uh it's less on things like cardboard and
clothes but longer on surfaces and metal and stuff like that yeah yeah all I know is like when
they report like 300,000 people a day with cases I don't know how they're even coming to those numbers
but geez louise this is really bad um india is that true rishi b india makes 60% of the world's
vaccinations and got pooped on like they make the vaxes and ship them everywhere else but they
couldn't get in there for themselves eff that that's effed up sucks all right yes benjamin on
microsoft surfaces yes that's what we're talking about that's what less the longest
it's the longest on a microsoft surface i've got one right here yeah you do so he's just
Surface 2, 3, what is it?
It's the Surface
laptop. Oh, is that the newer one?
It's the Surface 3
laptop, so it's 2018. Okay, the 3.
Three is good. Two is the best for
their pen and their drawing. That's when they're still working with WICOM, and it was
awesome. But then their own homemade ones,
not great. I've not tried the
pen on this one. Bums me out.
I really thought they were going to
up and come in that area, in that zone.
But I did have some fun playing
Dorf Romantic on this.
Oh, oh.
Yeah.
Or romantic.
Finally,
mine's got the platform
to play it on.
Excellent.
That game's great, right?
It is a great game, yes.
Yeah, it's a lot like water works or whatever that game is where you've got to put down,
where you've got to lay pipe.
Yeah, let a lay pipe.
Lay in some pipe.
All right.
Now, moving on to a break.
We're going to take a break.
When we come back, this is a Stephen Flugger.
Jury duty is jury.
Justin Robert Young. That's right. He'll be joining us. He's going to try to explain why Republicans are eating themselves right now, and Liz Cheney is on the menu. Trying to understand that a little better because I really don't get it. And then he also saw nobody like I did, and he has some thoughts on it. So we're going to talk about that. Damn it, I need to see nobody.
You're going to like it a lot, I think. So all of that and more coming right up after this song presented in full by the hand and mind of Brian Ibit.
yeah this is brand new as of today which means you listen to this and you're going to say oh why how long do i have to wait to get it you don't have to wait at all we're going to nashville for this one a singer-songwriter named lindsay star who normally does you know writes our own songs uh has surprised everybody and released a two track ep a digital seven inch with two cover tracks today uh one of the tracks is a cover of wicked game by chris isaac and it's really really good the other one is the one we're going to play right now the other one we're going to play right now and
it's a cover of tears for fears everybody wants to rule the world this thing is amazing um and it's
just like what you don't expect to hear from a Nashville uh singer song write it's really
really good well it's not it's not the style of music i'd expect sure it's really really good
no offense i'm not trying to say everything else from Nashville's crap but this is good
you know what I'm saying anyway here's uh here's lindsay star and her cover of everybody wants to
the world
Welcome to your life.
There's no turning back.
Even while we sleep, we will find you.
Even while we sleep, we will find you acting on your best behavior, turn your back on Mother Nature.
Everybody wants to rule the world.
It's my own desire.
It's my own remorse.
Help me to dissed.
Help me make the most of freedom and a pleasure.
Nothing ever lasts forever.
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
I can't stay on this in this decision.
with a lack of vision everybody wants to rule it
Say that you'll never never never need it
One headline while I believe it
Everybody wants to rule
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever.
Everybody wants to rule the world.
Oh, I love Raycon.
You'll love Raycon, too, like I do.
If you just try a pair, for real.
So, whether it's for work or play or whatever,
a lot of us are going to be on the move again this summer.

Sixth Street, but they have a music street that's kind of like the one in Austin, kind of like the one
in Memphis, where it's like clubs and bars with live music going on all the time. Yeah, some sort of
street. And, uh, we're going to go there one day.
sort of street.
Hey, speaking of streets, let's walk down this street right here.
These are their stories.
Oh, I'm terrible with names.
Welcome to the show, Justin Robert Young of Politics, Politics, Politics, Politics, Fame.
You may know him from that, but also you know him from his Tuesday visits here on the TMS show.
Justin, welcome back to the program.
How are you?
Always a pleasure to be here, friends.
Always.
Is it?
Always good to have you there.
Is it always a pleasure?
Always.
That makes me happy to hear that.
I don't know. I don't know what I do without our little Tuesday chairs. Oh, wow. That, you know, I'm Phil warm inside, but maybe I just have to be. Hey, it's Justin, everybody. And that's good because I got, I got questions. So we got a couple things you want to hit today. One is I do want to get Justin's take on nobody, which I've seen. He has seen. Brian has not seen. But I think it's worth talking about a thing that everyone just, a lot of people blow off as, oh, it's a John Wick rip off. But I think it's more than that. I think Justin might agree with me.
but we'll get to that in a minute.
Before that, though, I want to know why.
Why is it?
Maybe you can give us an explainer on this,
but it feels like the Republican Party
is trying to eat Liz Cheney.
And I'm trying to understand why
because I don't kind of don't get it
other than, I mean, I know that she had always
sort of been like, yeah,
Trump effed up on the sixth
and also, you know, we shouldn't be so devoted to him.
we should be devoted to our party and bubble you know she's been a little bit more vocal that way and
maybe that's all this is i don't know but this idea of like just throwing her out putting somebody in
her place she's no longer in the leadership position um i i don't know where all this came from from
from from from a party where i thought they were just sort of i don't know i don't know what i thought
i don't know why she's being beaten up like this so can you explain this what are the political
machinations and reasons for this it's so who is going to defend the
the poor poor cheney thing always so heartwarming and you know accessible and you know i think
we all can agree you know we've we've long thought like ah the chanies the best of us when we
look at the american flag right well i mean you don't hear a lot from dick these days but uh i
assume it's funny i mean like it is it is an interesting uh i think the last we heard of dick
he was uh autographing a waterboarding jug uh oh god really or at uh yeah um so it's to give everybody
the warm and fuzzies about the cheney family um all right so so number one let's kind
of understand exactly what we are talking about here liz cheney is not being
run out of the party
Liz Cheney is
likely
tomorrow to lose
her leadership position
which basically is
to organize messaging
amongst House
Republicans. So best
I can tell, she sends out
a couple emails a day saying
here are the issues of the day,
here's our central message on it,
everybody follow,
and then if you don't follow, she keeps
track of who doesn't follow and then you have other apparatus in the leadership go and get
the stray calves back into the herd right yeah I already hate everything about this but keep
going yeah I mean this is something that happens in both parts no I know I know I just hate it
yeah I hate it let them be individuals let them have their own ideas damn it you can't
corral these guys anyway keep going keep talking I mean I think it's more just like you know
in in things where you would I mean maybe maybe we want more chaos right but like in general usually
when you're in Congress the point is to pass things right and so if you're going to pass things
then you have to move as as as as a unit yeah you're you're trying to all be on the same page
I get the I get the idea it's a little bit like a company would do I don't know why I see it
differently but for some reason it bugs me that they that they they're going to track the as you
put them the strays and then go and like talking about that that's what the whip is the party whip
oh was that the whole meaning of that i didn't know that yeah the party whip is the person who whips up
votes and you whip up votes by seeing where everybody's leaning where they're not leaning who how they
need to be cajoled like that's that's what that's what that all is yeah that that that's what the
majority and minority whip is got it i didn't know what that meant until today i feel like i learned
something today. All right. Yeah. So that job that you didn't know existed, that's what Liz Cheney is
being pushed out of. So, like, I don't think it necessarily has a tremendous amount of impact on either
the party or, because it's not even like she was necessarily in the, I mean, she was in a leadership
position, so therefore her opinion mattered more. But it wasn't like she was deciding policy on,
on much of anything. Right. What's funny is that she voted more in line with.
President Trump, then the woman who is likely to take her place, Elise Stefanik, from New York, did,
which is its own, you know, weird quirk of what's happening right now.
Yeah.
But Liz Cheney is getting booted out of that position, in my opinion, not because she talked
about Trump, because there's a lot of people that talk about Trump, including Mitch McConnell,
who has said very direct things and then never talks about them again.
Yeah.
I don't even think it's because she keeps talking about it,
which she certainly has answered press questions
that she didn't necessarily need to answer
and has made it a more front and center issue
than she would have if she had message discipline,
which is funny because she's the person
who's supposed to be organizing the messaging.
Right.
The reason why she's getting booted out
is because I don't think she's going to win re-election
in 2022 in Wyoming.
And if you are not going to win re-election in Wyoming,
then the point of having you has become moot
because the Republicans, based on historical trends,
will likely take back both the House and the Senate.
And if you are a House member in the GOP,
then you're not going to be there,
because you're not going to win, you're likely going to get primaried.
And in that primary, you are probably going to lose,
or at least that's what the school of thought is,
then you effectively, as of now, have zero power.
And she's being treated like it.
Okay.
So I don't know why the speaking of messaging, the messaging,
well, maybe it's just as, you know, I don't know.
The only way we hear about it is through punditry and tweets and news and stuff.
So we don't know.
but I guess I don't understand why the Republican line isn't more about how that's happening.
I guess they don't want to say, well, we think she's going to lose up there.
So that's why we're doing this because maybe that's bad messaging.
But what it sounds like is.
Nobody knows, right?
Right.
So at this point, you can see a bunch of internal polls and say, oh, it turns out that the voting populace in her district is very Trumpy.
And the more that she talks about Trump being a bad person, the less likely she is to get voted back in.
At which point, her talking about Trump is more self-harm than it is some existential question for which the Republican Party needs to wrap itself around.
Obviously, there is a larger question of exactly how much Donald Trump is a part of the party, how the party should react to what happened to.
on January 6th. These are all still relevant questions. I just think that there is,
like there often is, real world political gravity to a lot of these things that are more
complicated than the narratives for which people assigned to them. Yeah, no, for sure. If anyone's
learned that, I have. But like, this, this idea, like, here's what I do if I was Liz Cheney.
This is what I would do. This is totally a me thing. But I would see kind of the state of
things. And I believe her when she, you know, says that she's not, you know, she thinks that
things have gone a little too Trumpy and, you know, she probably, she probably really believes that.
I would see this as an opportunity. If you feel like you're going to lose, stick to your guns,
talk the way you want, let them kick you out of leadership, whatever. It doesn't matter.
And if you're going to lose, that's okay too. Just go retire in that big, freaking huge ranch they have
up there and the Cheney's have up in, or in Wyoming. It's amazing.
I have a friend who is assigned secret security duty for Cheney when he was vice president
and for a while after and had to basically live at that ranch.
And the stories he told me about that ranch sounds amazing.
So just retire, hang out with your weird husband who shoots his friends by accident and be done.
Get out. Get out of that cesspool.
I think that's her father.
Oh, is that her dad?
I thought they were married.
No.
I don't know why I thought that.
I thought Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney were married.
That is the Cheney daughter.
Oh.
How old is Dick Cheney? Hold on a second.
He's very old.
Okay. He's older than I thought.
All right. Either way, go live with your dad.
Liz Cheney, look, the funniest thing that's going to happen.
And this is like, no one prepared me for how funny getting older was going to be when you actually remember things.
The funniest thing that's going to happen is when she is a.
a commentator on MSNBC after she gets kicked out and loses her election.
You think so?
She'll just be the dedicated never Trump Republican voice that just, you know, is there to get beat up on by the other people, but also shreds Trump.
So she'll be like like the Lincoln Project like person for MSNBC.
And I'm going to see all my liberal friends like, you know, retweeting like, even the Republicans hate Trump.
And it'll be Liz Chady.
and it'll just be the funniest thing that I've ever seen it happens all that I hate that part of all this um and then also that's kind of the idea right if you're going to get pushed out of congress you end up with a cushy job on some you know multi screen
oh especially if you're there if you're righteously kicked out right they're gonna make it they're already making a victim out of a cheney yeah she's cheney yeah like when have we ever felt bad for cheney's ever they got a pretty good gig yeah that's true uh
Yeah, you're probably right.
And it's all just, once again, just feels like theater.
But I couldn't understand just the, it just seemed like they were like, she's got to go.
She's got to go.
Like, she's just the worst.
Well, I mean, here's the reality of it was she already faced one challenge in February.
And the GOP majority leader or minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, stood up for her and fought for her.
And she survived a secret ballot vote, which was a secret ballot because Kevin McCarthy wanted it to be.
and so therefore people didn't have to register exactly what they felt and have that be public
and then have those people be attacked by the Trump forces.
So he fought for her in February.
What you will hear Kevin McCarthy say and some people on the right say is that at that point,
she could have stopped talking about Trump and she had made her point and that was that.
She survived a challenge, but instead she pushed it.
and especially for somebody in leadership,
that is something that you really can't have.
That being said,
and I don't think that that doesn't factor into it,
but apparently during everything really broke down
during this a Florida conference that they had
where donors started to point out like,
hey, we don't think she's going to win and she's bad.
So you should be minting people
that are actually going to be in the house
when you have a majority.
And that's what Elise Stefanix rise has kind of come with, who she was a kind of nobody and then wound up getting famous defending Trump loudly during his impeachment trials.
And that's when Trump fell in love with her and Trump endorsed her political ascension.
And that's where we are right now.
Okay.
Well, so sounds like the usual stuff.
By the way, Stephanics was my favorite thing to get hooked on in the 80s.
I was hooked on Stephanics and really learned a lot then about stuff.
Phonics.
Anyway,
because the phonics worked for me.
It's a great name.
It really is.
All right.
Let's move on to nobody.
This is a movie with Bob Odenkirk.
And you may know him from Mr. Show and everyone loves Saul or what the hell.
Sorry,
Saul.
Better call Saul.
Anyway, he's amazing and always good and everything.
But it's a turn that not a lot of people expected, at least I didn't, to work as well as it did.
He plays a retired sort of, uh, they,
The real hint of the movie is he's a hitman or a guy that gets, you know,
the dirty work done for the three-letter agencies, you know, CIA, NSA, that kind of stuff.
And, yeah, and BTA, exactly.
And he's, yeah, all that.
He's retired from all that sort of, has got a normal life of the wife and some children and has been going.
I mean, basically, it is, it is the John Wick formula, the taken formula of middle
Slub
in suburbia
now something happens
and he's on the warpath
which really
I mean to my mind
the template
for that really goes back
to like Death Wish
but with that one
Death Wish was a little bit
more like the movie
falling down
where Charles Bronson
eventually as the sequels
went along
he became more and more of a badass
but that first one
he's like kind of a pussy willow.
Like he is
something horrifying happens
in the first 10 minutes of the movie
to his wife and children
and then he becomes a vigilante
but in a much more realistic
vigilante way.
Like he is just kind of
sneaking up on crooks
and shooting them in the back
and stuff like that.
Where we've seen it go from there
with Taken and
John Wick is
everybody's gotten a lot more badass
and a lot more kung fu-y
and a lot more crazy action style
and so this very much is in that vein
but there are some like really cool tweaks to it
yeah my favorite tweak is to the very template
which is John Wick's case
in other cases wrongs are done to the people
and once those wrongs are done
it sets the machine in motion and it's just
we got you have to go you took
my daughter, we have to go because I have a very special set of skills.
In John Wick's case, you killed my dog, we're going.
This is it.
Let's go.
In the case of this, the thing that happens to him isn't the impetus for what the rest of the movie is.
How many spoilers are we doing?
Where are we out on spoilers with this?
I mean, I don't know.
Like, we probably should, we'll just warn it.
Hey, we're going to talk about aspects of this movie, everybody.
If you don't want to hear it, maybe now, check out.
There's nothing else that I'm going to talk about.
Any other political stuff you want to get in before you?
No, I don't have any.
I got nothing.
All right. We're only going to talk about, we're only going to talk about nobody and we're going to get into spoiler-esque territory.
Yes. Now, where they break the template is that he does a thing early that, or something sets him off early that you think is going to be the impetus for the entire film of him being set off.
But it's not.
He just is now put in a mental state where he wants more of it.
And without spoiling it too much for Brian, that stuff that happens on the bus is wholly separate from the other incident.
and that bus scene is insane
but that's what I hear
everything that happens on that bus
I really appreciated
number one Bob Odenkirk's amazing
anybody who isn't
into the revelatory
hosanhas of how amazing
of an actor he is this gives you even further
chops to show that he is a believable
action credible action star
but what I really liked about it
was that there is no
kung fu there's
know, like, you know, martial arts in, in the way that, you know, you, you kind of, I think
everybody tends to have sidekicks and roundhouses and stuff like that, like, all of a sudden
in action movies, where this, you know, everything's very kind of like rudimentary, military,
like, front kicks and punches and, and throat chops.
Like, it is, it is very, very, like, kind of a basic training.
sort of stuff, but it's, it's relentless and brutal.
And I just, I loved so many little things about it.
And here's one thing I will spoil, because I think people just need to go see it,
is that if you've ever thought, damn, how old are they going to make these actors into action stars?
Like, what's the upper limit of age that you can see somebody turned into a total
badass. This movie sets the new high water mark when Christopher Lloyd, yes, back to the future's
Christopher Lloyd in a nursing home is turned into a total amazing like badass. One of my favorite
scenes that I've seen in a movie theater in years is a Christopher Lloyd scene. It is
I'm going to knock you back to 1955. It's close. I'm like there's a moment where like when
the lady comes to check on him after she hears the
ruckus and he's holding this bleeding dying guy down just low enough so she can't see him over
the chair she thinks he's just in there watching his loud western or whatever yeah he tells he tells
him to turn down he's like man you got to turn down the tv and he's like okay it's great like that
stuff was this was was handled really well i liked i liked all of it um i'm just i guess i was
just surprised how
it landed on me. I was
really, I was worried that it was going to be, well, it's one
of these again, but I think what sets it
apart is Odin Kirk's
performance, and he's great in everything,
but in this, there's something badass
about him, but also
super relatable, and
they, he plays it
pretty straight, but also just, I don't know, just feels
right. Everything he does in the movie feels, feels
good. It helps
ground the movie. Yeah.
Yeah, there's a, there's a
there's a moment in any of these kinds of movies
where the adventure is thrust upon the hero
right
and let's say taken for example
taken Liam Neeson
kind of a schlub dad who's
got a complicated relationship with his
daughter he's divorced right
and then
he uh you realize he's a badass
he's got to go rescue his daughter
from whatever human traffickers have
have gotten him and then he gets the daughter
the daughter back and then that's
kind of the end of the movie right?
Like you you don't because you're
rooting for him
you don't really want to see him
you're glad he had those skills
but you don't really want to see him
fall back on him from an emotional
perspective and that's complicated
when you've gone to see this movie because you want
to see people get killed
and thrown out of windows and stuff
because you're like from that level
you're like yes I do want to see more of that
and that's why we've gone to see three
taken sequels or whatever.
This is a movie
that kind of addresses
some of that.
And the motivation
is very much
internal
to the character
beyond the world
thrusting things
upon them.
And it's a very fun,
compact script
that like for a movie
that is a John Wick
or a taken knockoff,
it's something
that you'll think about.
Like there's like a really kind of cool second viewing to it or even thinking about the movie
in your head because of, I think, how smartly everything was put together.
You know what else I really like?
I love a good villain.
This movie's got an amazing psychopath Russian mobster too high up for his own good kind
of guy.
And he's great.
That actor's great.
All that stuff is great.
But the hard thing in these movies is to figure out how, what is your finale fight death
going to be?
like how and usually what you do is you just go big more explosions more car crashes more whatever to create this sort of crescendo at the end this thing decided to do a very close quartered sort of ultimate moment with the bad guy and with odin kirk and the way they did it is so good it's so good it's like brutal but artistic perfect amount of slow motion i don't want to give away for brian but it's amazing scene
And it's, yeah, it's really great.
The villain is, is, uh, uh, well, well drawn.
Uh, I think you, you, uh, you know, you find yourself, uh, if not, I mean, certainly not rooting for,
but relating more to the villain as it gets, as it gets toward the end of the movie.
Yeah.
Uh, uh, but, uh, yeah, just, just, uh, so much fun, so well done.
The cinematography is really, really good, too.
There's a shot about halfway through with a flipped over car,
and you will know it when you see it,
that I've thought about a lot since then.
And again, it's just like such a fun script,
because especially in these kind of movies,
and John Wick, this has been kind of a hallmark of John Wick,
that like, the more you get into his world,
the more you realize it's like this very labyrinthian,
crazy like backstory
universe that he exists in
and this
doesn't quite have that right
it is just sort of mobsters
and guns and you know
you took my money and now I'm going to get you
kind of stuff
but
you do you're always curious about
well who is Bob Odenkirk that's like the point
of the movie is he's nobody right
quote unquote
but they have this running gag
of whenever he gets to
the exposition, which is normally
among the most boring parts. You want to know it, but then
once you've heard it, you're like, oh, okay, well, maybe that was cool.
Maybe that wasn't. But they have this very clever
running gag of whatever he's telling stories about his past.
It's when a certain thing is happening.
And it's very, very funny.
Yeah, it's really good. And even the montagey stuff at the
beginning where it's like quick cuts of him, jogging,
making breakfast, going to the office, trying to chase down the
garbage man missing the garbage man again like normally that stuff is so tropey and tripe that
I'm just like okay I've seen this a billion times and and it doesn't work on me anymore but there's
something about the way this one was made and those scenes worked for me and the humor which isn't
you know it's sparse but when it's there it's earned and it's no legit funny I guess I'm just surprised
how much I liked it and I hope they do a follow up I mean they leave it like they're gonna so yeah
I hope so, too.
I think it was very creative and very fun.
And it's Odin Kirk doing, like, there are really funny moments in the movie.
None of them are funny lines from Odin Kirk.
Odenkirk plays a very earnest character.
And, like, that's where kind of the heart, the beating heart of the movie.
And if you were worried that he had typecast himself as Saul, he really had.
hasn't like and he's in lots of cool stuff I loved him in Nebraska and lots of movies like
it's not like this he's not doing any work outside of the Saul universe but I think it would be
easy for people to think that he would just be Saul Goodman and everything and he's not in this
this is like a totally different kind of character and that dude is in shape he looked great
just lean and I want to look like that he looks awesome I was joking because it was the last movie
I saw in a theater with with Brett and Oakland and I'm like man like this is just kind of
of redefined masculinity where like, you know, the old, the old idea was like, you know, it's
the 50s malt shop, like the best shape you're ever going to be in is when you're 18 and
you're playing on the football team and that's when you get married and you have kids
at 20 and a half. And then you just like, by the time that you're 40, you're just like a big
old pile of pudding and you're drinking beer and the lazy boy and you're falling asleep, right?
And it's like now
it's like, oh no, you're
skinny and schlubby
in your 20s.
And then somewhere around
35
you get into the best shape
of your life. And then
you're just on HGH like Sylvester
Stallone until you eventually maybe
die? Like you just
walk around like dinosaurs like
BOP and rock steady until
eventually they have to build an extra large
coffin because you're a gigantic
behemoth of a human. Yeah.
Yeah, he's a weird one to see these days.
By the way, Odenk, 58.
I think that dude looked real good for 58.
Yeah. It made me realize.
Which is funny, though, but he played
older when he was in his 20s. Like, Mr.
show, he looked
35. I just saw him on Seinfeld
last night. He was on some
episode where he was playing Elaine's boyfriend
and he looks the same.
Yeah. I don't know how
that dude does it. He reached a certain
age look and then just stayed there
while his age caught up to him
and surpassed him.
Kind of.
So,
Andy,
Andy's funny as shit.
Andy plays complex.
Like,
what a,
what a cool career.
I think that dude's awesome.
I think we'll probably watch it today.
We've got half an hour left of the thing I'm doing for rentals tomorrow.
Yeah.
And a couple people have offered me a very complex way of watching nobody.
So I think I meant,
I might not be so perplexed about figuring out a way to watch.
Yeah.
Your TV isn't made a Plexy glide.
Or that's a new one. That's a new one. Yeah, pretty good. Well, all right. We've covered politics. We've covered Odenkirk. Really, there's nothing left except to say what's going on over there in Jury's world. So what's happening? What should people be checking out this week from you and your fine works?
So a fun little change that we're doing on the politics, politics, politics, Patreon. Not only do you get the two podcasts for free on Wednesdays and Fridays, but also on the Patreon.
and you get two bonus episodes on Mondays and Thursdays at the $3 level.
But I've reformatted the Monday episode and it's going to come out first thing in the morning.
So midnight on Monday.
I'm recording it on Sunday.
And instead of it being me reacting to the first news of the week, it's going to be me watching through all the Sunday shows and predicting, A, things that are going to happen and of the narratives that all the parties are creating.
how they are going to be batted around throughout the week.
So it's like one part prediction, one part table setting.
But I think for folks who enjoy the show or enjoy this segment,
it's going to be really great to be able to watch things unfold from that perspective,
as opposed to just kind of being let around by the nose by the propaganda machines.
That is normally there.
No, I understand.
Well, that's great.
People make sure you check it out.
And don't forget to give him a follow.
on Twitter. If you haven't, he's at Justin R. Young,
and I'm going to play this before I forget.
The jury will now retire.
Yeah, baby.
Well done.
Look at you.
Hey, the memory of an elephant.
It's not really.
Not even close.
All right. Hey, we have come to the end of today's show.
However, there's time for this.
Oops.
I like to eat.
Hey.
What are we eating?
What are we eating?
Japanese stuff.
We got wasabi macanamia nuts or this other.
thing. I think we do the wasabi because there's
English on this. Yeah.
Just feeling good about it.
Satachi Sudachi. That's what you
said it was and I'm seeing it.
Sudachi. Yeah, I see, I wasn't
that far off. Satachi Sudachi.
Yeah, I was kind of right on.
All right, let's do the nuts. I wouldn't call that
English, but those are English letters.
Just put a little English on it.
All right, so Island
Princess, authentic Japanese wasabi
macadamian nuts.
It's not really a whole lot.
a lot on here. I guess there is some Japanese writing. I can...
Yeah, there's nothing to translate, really.
It says it's 100% Hawaiian grown, so that's probably why.
Oh, it's made in the USA. It's literally made in Hawaii.
But there's a lot of Japanese people in Hawaii, so that's probably the deal.
All right. I'm going to open this here.
Take a whiff.
Oh, smell that, smell that earthy macadamia.
I'm sending you. I'm sending you the best translation ever.
Okay, great.
Let me open my text chat window.
This can't be real.
Can't be real.
I want it to be real.
Oh, that's Moby.
Hold on.
Let me scroll down.
There we go.
Oh, yeah, Moby's great.
Yeah, that Moby video went places.
I was worried about it at first, but it got good.
Okay, here we go.
This is Brian just sent.
What is it?
Wait, are we, what do we, are we not,
Are we eating that bag or the other bag?
Which one are we eating?
Yeah, same bag.
No, we're eating the macadamia nuts.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, okay.
Yeah.
I actually read the whole thing and said, all right, these are risabi macadamian nuts.
That's funny.
You actually said there's English on there, and I said, oh, okay, Sedachi, Sotachi.
I don't think that's English.
That's the bag you held up when your maid came in to take out your trash.
Yeah, that's true.
When the maid was here.
Yes.
All right.
So let's do these nuts.
All right.
Did you read, did you read what it says that?
Yeah, it says, even though it's crap, what is it?
Muto meat, youth taste.
That's tomorrow on TMS.
Every, even though you, even though it's crap.
Even though it's crap, what is it?
Why is that say that?
I'm afraid now of tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I'm a feared of tomorrow.
All right, how are these?
Oh my God, these are great
Well, they really hate you
Listen, I love wasabi peas
I like wasabi almonds
Yeah
These might be my favorite
Wasabi items
Have you ever snorted wasabi?
I've never snorted wasabi
I watched uh
You don't need to
I mean, if you accidentally take a deep breath
When you've got sushi that's got
Wasabi all over it
Woo
That's pretty good
Yeah
I actually kind of like that
I like it more than that little girl who goes,
Wisabi.
Oh, how could you like it more than her?
Ouch.
Ouch.
All right.
Tomorrow we eat the crap that apparently knows it's, it's right.
Tomorrow we eat the crap that apparently knows it's.
Yes, even though it's crap.
What is it?
Oh, it's that writing down by the stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah, I have concerns about that.
We'll see you tomorrow when we do that.
Okay.
We're done. That's it. That's the show.

Saabi.
Thanks to Claire, who put that video.

Kim Wolf wrote and said,
Hey, Brian, my husband, Whistle 034 in the chat room,
had a birthday on May 7th.
This year has been a tough one.
What with pandemic, a cancer diagnosis and kidney surgery,
all before the 1st of April.
Oh, I hope we, I hope free hotel room is tuned out.
He's here today.
So, hey, free hotel room.
He was here earlier, but I hope he's tuned out by now.
Okay.
Get out of here, but let's see here.
He's a great guy.
He loves all six of our crazy cats,
motorcycles, all things frogpans, and we listen to TMS together every day.
You don't have to play it on his birthday, but anything reminiscent of Roxy Music or Squeeze
will be awesome.
Thanks for all the laughs and great music each week.
Nice.
Well, by golly, Kim Wolf, I am super happy to play this for you.
And I'm a big fan of Roxy Music, but I'm an even bigger fan of Squeeze.
So when you say play a squeeze cover, it's a little treat for me as well.
And normally I'd pick a cover of squeeze, right?
Right.
But I think it's more fun in the case like this to actually have a cover by squeeze.
They don't do a lot of covers.
When you've got songwriters like Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, you don't need to do a lot of covers because you've got prolific.
You've got a constant stream of great songwriting that you can do yourself.
However, one of the covers that they did, and this was part of the CD single from 1995s this summer, which was the first single release.
from the Ridiculous album.
They covered Blur, and they didn't cover the one song by Blur that Scott knows.
They covered a different song.
Oh, there's a different song?
I don't even know there was another one.
There's a different song.
Now, I'm going to give you a little bit of homework because I did this myself this morning.
Because I knew this would come up, and I'm like, you know what?
I'm not going to ask him to do something that I wouldn't do myself.
But after the show today or whenever, you know, when you're done streaming and
adventure clubbing and whatever, and you're working.
or replying email or whatever.
Yeah.
I say whatever.
So really anything, so really anything is what you're saying.
Really anything.
While you're doing that, listen to pull up in your streaming service of choice,
Park Life, the album Park Life by Blur.
Okay.
This was the height of the feud between Oasis and Blur when they were both battling it out
to be the number one album that year.
Okay.
And Park Life is a good.
great, great album. It's so good.
Anyway. Oh, it's a whole album, not just a song.
Okay, cool. I will... Yeah, the whole album. The whole album, Park Life. It begins with
girls and boys, and that's a song you totally know.
All right. I've written it down. I'm going to listen to it after the show today.
Excellent.
Yep, excellent. Post-haste. All right, so one of the songs on that album is a song called
End of a Century. And Squeeze covered it as part of a tour that was a solo tour,
Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook traveled across the U.S. and came to the Mercury Cafe in Denver,
and I sat in a room with about, I don't know, 30 people
and watched them do a live set of Squeeze music,
and they also did this cover, and it's just so good.
It's a cover of End of a Century.
Here are Glenn Tilbert and Chris Difford of Squeeze
going out to whistle.
Thank you very much.
Me and Chris are going to do a couple of acoustic songs for me.
This is the first one.
It's a song by Blur, and it goes like this.
Two, three, four.

What is your music streaming service of choice?
Do you do Spotify?
Do you do Apple Music?
I'm Apple Music.
My daughter's Spotify and my other two kids are Apple Music.
Oh, well, I guess they're on my plan, so we're all sharing a
family, whatever thing, but I've been, I've used both.
I kind of prefer Apple Music for selection and I prefer Spotify for
interface and like mobile, their usability is just a little higher on that thing.
But I'm kind of like not really married to either one.
So sort of now with the Apple one thing because it's just cheaper overall to get the different
services on one little shot, it makes sense to just stay there.
Yeah.
It's fine.
But I wish desktop was better.
uh for apple music in general i wish all that stuff was a little yeah it's not bad but yeah it's
okay i can work with it yeah exactly it's not as good as the spotify web stuff it's way better

And he did a voice halfway through the middle of it.
Yeah.
Marty, we have to go back.
Oh, shit.
What's the deal with ice cream?
Well, I'm glad we did a show because I was grumpy today and I'm not.
Yeah.
I'm glad.
I was going to go do, you know, go get a burrito and park near some pokey stops yesterday.
I didn't do it.
I ate some leftover chicken curry that Tina made, which was excellent.
But today, we don't have leftovers.
So, by golly.
That's what I'm going to do.
Yeah.
That's what I would do.
I'd be all about that.
I just need to get a bunch of, I might actually walk as opposed.
It's cold, but it's not raining right now.
So I might actually go to Old Town and walk around and do the, get a walk in while I pokey stop.

Just wear a hoodie.
I will absolutely wear a hoodie.
