She? Today, I was thinking about water. So amazing. Water. Do you think you're a genius or a really sick person? Now picture that, but everywhere. This is the morning stream. Welcome to the morning stream, everybody.

I'm Scott, and he's Brian. It's August 24, 2021. Brian, did you ever notice, or you ever wonder if in the chat room, they have this tradition when this team plays. Yes. They all start typing TMS. Yes. Do you think there's someone in there that just folds their arm, sits back, and refuses to participate in that? Oh, I'm sure there are lots of people.

Because, I mean, it's, you know, you see a big range of colors of names, right? Because everyone's an avatar, or a screen name comes up with a different color. And so you see this big rainbow, but I'm sure there are people who are like, yeah, it's fine. I don't care. I'm not going to do that. I don't need to participate in that. Everybody else does enough of it. So it's not like it's not like it requires everybody's participation.

Not at all. I just always think of it as like a. social experiment like you would. With any kind of group dynamics, some people are going to want to all do the same things and other people are going to go their own way or be rebellious or go, I'm not going with the crowd or whatever. And I think there's a little layer. There's a little bit of that.

Just a tiny. A little bit. Have you ever, I know you've never been part of a flash mob, or I assume you've never been part of a flash mob. I never have been part of a flash mob that I'm aware of. I don't know. Have you ever been somewhere where a flash mob happened? I was in a place once where a whole bunch of people were,

When I round at a corner, this is downtown, a whole bunch of people where they're just dancing in the street or the sidewalk area, kind of part of this plaza. And then it suddenly abruptly stopped and left. Okay. All right. Probably the tail end of one. I don't know. It looks like you were there for the end of a flash mob. Yeah.

I've actually never seen one live. I've seen a ton on, you know, YouTube and in movies and TV shows and things like that. But what's the state of the modern flash mob? Is it still a thing? Is it done? Is it played? I think it's probably played I mean is it played like

I don't know if it's played as bad as like planking or you know some dumb thing like that Sure sure But I think flash mobs Drenched Wildfire says they think They died in 2009 or so I mean that does feel like

About the last time I was hearing about it Feels about right yeah Yeah and today you're not No one's doing them now I mean why would you Right in the middle of Delta COVID You're like hey you know what we ought to do Let's all cram into a bus and sing

Exactly Listen you can do those choreograph dance moves six feet apart wearing masks. Totally can. Totally fine. You can socially distance your planking. So get it on, get it going. Oh, according to DJ Stangle, TikTok, brought back flash mobs.

Boom. With Natasha Beddingfield. A singer Natasha Beddingfield? Really? She is singer? She is. She known for her singing? She is. And this was a, so a rap song that she

apparently commandeered into a flash mob by my guess okay TikToks is a place for the next big thing

is dictated by people who typically gather for nothing at all Roney Boney's dance became popular

after footage of the choreography done Zubba Zubba let's see him is Roney Boney I love it

this Roney Boney this article makes us Here he comes now say Roney Boney Boney

he gets Rony boy is the Is that the name? It's not Rony Boney? No, but I think I want Roney Boney to be my new rap name myself. I think that's enough of a change that I could commandeer that one. It's not bad. But yeah, like, you know, whatever.

Trends on TikTok are numerous and perhaps, though, yeah. Everybody wants to start a trend on TikTok. I want to be a trendsetter. Yeah. Not a trend follower. Yeah. But you all end up doing it anyway, don't you? You hear, you see one guy do it,

and then the rest of you feel like you got to do it. You dirty, dirty bastards. Rony bony. Anyway, so there's that. Let's have a show. We got all sorts of shit. I noticed you had a, you seem to be having a good time last night. I was jealous.

I did. I went to a wine tasting with the folks, with Barry and Bobby Ann. And it was really cool. It was this place over here in Denver called Ballastuary Vineyard. And we had the bar basically to ourselves. So it was a nice little socially distant. thing. They gave us a little booklet.

Basically, it was a legal sheet folded in half that listed all their wines that we were going to be tasting with kind of little descriptions, but we had a vintner there who was pouring our beakers. So basically we had our wine glasses, but then we had a beaker in front of us because of COVID protocols.

He couldn't pour the wine directly into the vessel that we drank out of. So he had to pour into the beaker. And then we picked up the beaker and poured it into our wine glasses. Nice. It only, the story would only be better if this was the Muppet beaker, but go ahead. These were like little

one ounce pours. So not very much. And we did try about 20 different wines. So 20 ounces of wine in all different ranging from whites or what they are. They have orange wines. They don't have whites because they keep the skins in on

the fermentation process. So it changes the color and adds a little bit more tannin to even the whites. Usually white wines are far less tannin or even no tannin compared to red wines, which have a lot of it and can sometimes give people headaches. Sure. But they keep the skins for their whites so that it adds a little bit of extra depth to the flavor and kind of turns the color a little bit orange. Do you get chunks?

No, no, no, no. It's always filtered. like there's no, no trunks at all. Good. Or chunks. Trunks or chunks. Chunk free. Okay.

Great. That's right. Chunk free. Yeah. So we had a whole bunch and basically what we do is, you know, when you do a wine tasting, you're thinking, oh, maybe I'll take a couple bottles home with me. And so on this little form that they gave us, this little booklet, there was a little space next to each one where we could make a little note and say, oh, yeah, this one's really good,

or this one's okay. Put a couple stars or a yes or a number rating or whatever. And I would put stars next to a couple of the ones that I really liked. So did the first page, flipped it open, folded it back, and then started working on the second page. And I got to the very bottom of the second page before I noticed that the booklet I had had previously been used. And the person who, and I know the person who had this booklet before me, liked only one wine. And I know that English was probably not their first language because written in the, a little square, a little blank next to each one, was the word, or was the, yeah, was the word C, S-I.

Oh, oh, C. The language that you're not necessarily speaking on the regular. Basically just saying, uh, wine? Yes. Yeah. Was this wine? Yes. Wow. So, uh, at that point, I switched my rating system to see, uh, very bien. Yeah.

Yeah, you got to be consistent. I feel you. That's right. Exactly. Not just the Malbex, but all of the, all the wines, not just the Argentinian wines. And, you know, just had a really good time. We had a little charcutory plate with some cheeses and meats and stuff like that.

And sampled a bunch of really good wine. And I came home with a half a case, so really just six bottles of wine. Yeah. The folks ended up, I think, with two full cases. They really, they are. cork dorks, as Barry put. Is that what they're called as cork torques? That's what they call themselves.

I don't know if that's an official term, but I love the term cork dorks. That's really good. That's really good. I've never heard that, but I love that. That's fantastic. It's a good thing that I had only half a case because I had extra space in that box for a bottle of a Chicago drink, a Chicago liqueur that Bobby Ann and Barry brought. back for me from Chicago, something that you can really only

find in Chicago for some reason. And that is the most horrible drink in the world. I say that without any sense of exaggeration or hyperbole. Freaking Malort. They brought me back a bottle of

Mallort. Of course they did. Of course they did. Why wouldn't they? Yes. You know, after all our talk, after all you're talking about Malort. Yeah. You know, you're going to have some malort. Are you going to give you to give it to Dave? He'll drink it. I know. I don't think, I don't think Dave's ever had malort. So Dave, crazy neighbor Dave is going to get to sample Malort this weekend? I don't have time for your crazy neighbor antics. Yeah, I'm excited.

I love that that's our new crazy neighbor reference. Anytime Dave comes up, I got you covered over here with a little button I can push. God, I almost want a t-shirt. I don't want any more of your crazy neighbor antics. And I'll just wear it over there every once in a while. That's a great idea. All right. Well, that's a great idea. All right. Well, that's Although they're such nice human beings. I miss them. They really are. They also brought me something else, Scott.

And, um, oh, oh, please tell me you're going to do this today. Please tell me you're going to do it. Please. Today, I won't do it today. We'll do it tomorrow. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. Uh, they also brought me something else, Scott, uh, based on a comment I made during an

episode of show and we were talking about, um, the news story came up about, a new line of swimwear for men called the brokini yeah i remember this and it's like it's not the boar at it's like a bikini bottom with like a toga strap that comes up from the bottom and goes up over the shoulder and then back down to yeah uh it's like a stretched out bikini almost like a bikini bottom that's like well it's stretched out but it's got but i mean it has that weird strap for some reason there's really no reason to have the strap for a guy like there's no there's no unless unless you have a suffer from no acidal your your your your butt will hold up your bikini bottoms just fine this is good to know yes because at some point i'd really like to see

brian in this thing is that what we're well you will at some point however i will bear the chat room uh i came out of the shower this morning and said all right i got to try this thing on and uh i put on i still put on underwear yeah because i'm not a not a neanderthal here uh and i said all right let's try this thing on and so i put this thing on and this is custom made this is not uh they did not go to the store and find this bobby ann made this herself knitted herself from sparkly red white and blue star spandex material do you think she's like working on it needle in it and going this is where his chode will go I imagine that was

She probably had to force that thought from her mind Because she had to work down in there man I mean even Michelangelo Michelangelo had to work on David's wiener for like a good couple hours That's true and he had to sit there and say I'm tapping out a wiener I'm tapping out a wiener Making a wiener

Could you shut the door I'm tapping out I'm tapping on a wiener I'm taking a dong A little privacy, please, while I tap out this wiener. Exactly. So, but sure enough, this thing amazingly fits. She had no guide to work on besides, you know, like a rough estimate of my size and a typical Excel kind of thing, I guess. But it fit well, probably too well.

I'll also be wearing bike shorts under this thing if I wear it on the show. And I think I will be wearing a T-shirt. because I'm not I just you know no I feel you I wouldn't do it I would not do this at all this would not I wouldn't even come close to this so the fact that you're willing to have any sacrifice in this way is is admirable that's right exactly that's amazing so is it like so if I compared it to like one of those wrestler things you know like uh Andre the giant wears like a big yeah it's like that sort of like that yeah it's kind of like uh well let's see I mean do we have a bro is there is there a photo yeah right here actually i will just put this i mean basically when you google brokini you get them you get them uh let's see brokini oh my now is your is it the over the shoulder strap yeah it's the over the shoulder strap now i can picture it fully the single over the shoulder strap why are they wearing these just as a general i don't know i don't know okay oh now see that thing you showed me yesterday

now I can totally see it in the shape of this thing. Right, exactly. Now you can kind of see how it fits in all this business. Chat room, I'll put one up so you can just see this one. And then you can Google. And I will tell you that I don't look nearly as good as this guy. Well, I'm going to argue that guy looks worse. With his Peter Tork haircut and his brokini.

I'm going to argue he looks worse wearing a brokini than he might if he just wore a pair of damn trunks. But, you know. Well, agreed. Yes, for sure. So there it is, chat. Now, don't put it on the other way, right? You don't want to upside down that thing. It's where the little straps.

Definitely don't want to, there's going to be some chafing, some writing, and some pulling stuff out. Plus, I just don't know which hole my head would go through. So. Yeah. How about this? It's a problem. Horizontal vertical. Whoops.

I just changed shoulders. I was trying to flip it upside down and make people gross out, but it didn't. Oh. All right. Kind of like what you did with the adult's face. Yeah, there you have it. Well, all right. That's exciting.

Exciting developments in Brian's life. Yes. Thanks to Barry Ann and Bobby folks. So there you go. So we'll wear it tomorrow for funzies. All right. I got a question. This is an ethics question.

We're going to have an ethics class here this morning. Everybody put your pencils down, your number two pencils down. We're going to talk about ethics for a moment. Sure. And I'm going to ask Brian's advice in this case because he's also a neighbor. Now, he's got a crazy neighbor, and I don't, my neighbors aren't crazy. But I have this question. And I think I may have brought this up before, but now it's because,

coming kind of a problem because the people that are living next door right now are heavily using their hot tub a lot which is fine it's great i'd be have a hot tub you should use it but the people before them who actually built the hot tub and then lived there barely used it they were hardly ever in that thing and when they left and sold these new people they came in and went whoa we're going to be in the hot tub all the time so it is not uncommon for me just as a random moment of i got to take the dog out, they'll be in their hot tub. And here's where all the ethics come in. Okay.

It's not their fault and it's not our fault. But when the hot tub was built, there was a pine tree that was in our yard on our side of the fence that was a big tree and it kind of provided a ton of coverage for their whole yard. It was a great big older tree. The problem is it got eaten by or got infested by, I forgot the name of it, but some kind of beetle that goes in and just eats the core of these trees and kills them. And we couldn't kill it with pest control or anything. And so the tree died. And even though we let it go a whole other summer to see if we could just deal with it,

it just was dead. It was starting to turn into like dry, you know, almost a fire hazard kind of tree. And so... We had a tree. It died. It died. I don't know why it died. Anyway, so I pull, uh, we pull it out.

That's what we did. We yanked it. We had, uh, Richard or Richard, my brother or wife's brother Richard came out here and did some manly work. and help me get it out. Manly work. Yeah, he's a big buff guy. So we get that out of there.

And now, if I just barely just even walk out onto the back porch from an elevated position because you drop down to the main porch from there. Yep. I have full view of Hot Tub land over there.

Sure. 100% of it. Like, there's no, there's no, let's just say they're out there and they're nudies. Let's say they're being nude. Sure. they're not they haven't right well that i know of that i know of but let's say they did they would be in full view of me doing that and i'm not trying to look i don't want to look i'm not trying to bother them with their privacy because i think they should have it you shouldn't have to change your behavior because a neighbor has a hot tub in the back of their yard right but so what should i feel like that's kind of where you're going with this what should i do should i should i just because it's all the time don't don't stand there and leer you're

wouldn't I don't think so anyway but don't stand there and go you guys wearing you guys wearing clothes under that hot boiling bubbly water I can't see behind that bubble you won't stand up just a little bit yeah I'm not if if privacy was a concern for them then they would do a little put up a little like pergola with a canvas shade on one side or something right I mean they could easily do that and have a little privacy and then they could if it if it were a problem for them so if it's not a problem for them yeah uh i mean definitely shouldn't be a problem for you regardless you shouldn't you shouldn't have to walk out on your porch and feel weird about looking in one direction i guess i feel weird when i walk out and go

all right let's go poop everybody poop let's poop like just a lot of dog you know because i got three dogs and i'm trying to get them as long as there's a dog with you yeah but if you're going out alone. Yeah. Yeah, you should feel weird about that. Now, sometimes I will go out alone and I'm just And say everybody poop? No. No, I'm just going out to chill because I'm like it's, I don't want to read a comic outside. Something like that. So I'll go outside, open a comic, sit in the chair and then I'll hear them get in the hot tub. Sure. And now I'm like, should I make a little noise just so they know that someone's around so they're not like saying stuff or, you know, not that I can hear them that well over the hum of the thing or any of that. But you know what I mean? Is that what you're thinking you need to do with the... So what? Like, what a night we're having. I don't know, whatever I'd say.

They're fully aware that they have neighbors. They're, you know, they should be anyway. They're fully aware that they are not out in a log cabin in the middle of the mountains with nobody for miles. So if they say something stupid, like, oh, look at your wieners growing under the bubbly water. then that's on them. And also it's good show content if they were to say that. That's a good point. Arcadudius or have you say your name in the chat says,

maybe they're waiting for you. No, no, no, no, no, no. They're from Oklahoma, they don't want me. You're in friendly terms with them, right? So you can go, hey, how you doing? Oh, yeah, I wave all the time. I just, I don't know, it just feels like it's a, they're in a vulnerable in the hot tub position,

and I'm walking around in my, you know. Their choice. Like I said, and they could so easily put something, they probably have a wooden deck around it as something, right? Yeah, well, they have a, it's not like a deck, but there's, yeah, you're right. Maybe it is kind of a deck, but they have a thing around it, yeah. And it's not like, it's not like they're right there, like we're living in Britain in everybody's backyards or gardens as they call them or like bumping up and next to each other. It's not like that.

Right, right. I don't know. It's just a weird thing. And, uh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean. I know. It's, I would think the same way.

And it's like when the crazy neighbors are out and maybe they've got family over or something, and we're out on our back patio as well, I avoid looking over there to make eye contact to not make it look like I'm, oh, what are you guys doing over there? Boy, that food sure smells good. What is that, veggie lasagna? Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. There's a feeling of, like, just, I don't want to be seen. I don't want to bug.

I don't want them to even think about it. Like, I don't know. But we don't live in that. I totally get that. And I would do the same thing. Yeah. I had a security camera out there. We took it out after the tree came down because of this reason.

I didn't want to have a camera facing somebody's hot tub. It was weird. Yeah, is there a way to put it back up and have it face a different way? Yeah, we just changed the position, change the location. So it shoots like the long way down, which is just my yard. It doesn't catch any outside stuff. So, anyway, it's all very weird. And I'm glad that.

They should just put, yeah. They should just put up a little, if they want privacy, then it's such an easy half-day task to get some wood. Put up a little, well, it's more than probably a half-day task if you want to do it right, do up like a nice pergola. Sure. But you could get one of those like, you know, it's on a stand, it pops up, it opens up, you know. Oh, sure. Great shade or whatever. You could do something like that if you want it.

A little trade show. One of those trade show canvas things you pull down. Sure, why not? You know what I could do? I could go replant a tree and give it 20 years and then they got all the coverage they need. You could. I mean, you could get a tree that, you know, is not a piece of shit covered in. A seedling or sapling.

You could probably get a mid-sized tree and put it up there. That's true. If you were worried about it, but again, that's, if you don't want a tree there. That sounds like money. It sounds like money and labor also. I don't want to do any of that, you know? Right, right. No, if you don't want a tree there, you shouldn't have to put a tree there.

All right, awkward glances it is. That's the new norm. That's the new normal. And just, you know, just, you know, throw out a pay, hand check. Ha ha, ha, gotcha. You know, stuff like that, like little, you know, play it up. Have some fun, have some fun stuff to say to them. Sometimes they're back there looking like they're asleep.

So I should go. Wakey, waky, wanky, hands off, snaky, or something like that. There you go. hey, when's the soup going to be done? You know, stuff like that. Just, uh... Yeah, why not? Or do dog whistles and have their dogs go crazy.

They have three dogs. That'd be cool. That's not a bad idea. There you go. That's great. I'll fill you guys in on whatever happens. Of course, all of its potential show content. So, you know, we always cultivate that when we can't.

Yep, absolutely. All right. Brian, it's time for the news. So I'm going to push this button that we'll make it official. It's time for the news brought to you by. Broughty by Soundography. Got a brand new episode. It's another you got to listen to this episode.

A single album that either one of our friends or a fan of the show, a patron, makes us listen to. And this is our final one of these. You've got to listen to this. We have a special guest for this one, Tobias Hieta, makes us listen to some Norwegian symphonic metal. Probably can guess what band I'm talking about. And we enjoyed it. But how much did we enjoy it? Well, you'll just have to listen to the show.

show to find out, soundography.com. Nice. You're going to get more, you'll never get more Norwegian metal than you will through that show over time. I'm telling us. That's the place to get it. Through soundography, you think? Yeah, I think that's the place you get it because Hammond is always sneaking it in.

He's always trying to play. Oh, he's the Prague rocker, man. I think this is our first, I think this is our first Norwegian metal we've had on the soundography. Now, on beyond the playlist, he's had some, he's had quite a bit of Norwegian metal. Yeah, I think he has a taste for it. And I think it's gross. Just kidding.

It's do whatever you got to do. And yes, it is Nightwish, I-Corps. Oh, my gosh. I know Nightwish. What? Nightwish, what? Nightwish. I remember for a while they were supposed to be the cool thing I was supposed to check out.

They are a cool thing you got to check out. And we get some history on the band. Apparently, there was a lot of strife between their original lead vocalist and their current lead vocalist who is, in my opinion, and the opinion of our guest, far better. So, yeah, go check out this episode. We actually listen to an album that's kind of a cross. It's a live album, so it's kind of a live and greatest hits, which kind of breaks our rule usually for,

you've got to listen to this, the unwritten rule. But we still, we let it go through because it was so good. There's a little tiny man in that band, a little tiny man at the end. Oh, is there really? Yeah, look, chat. Here, I'll put it in the Discord. Look at this little tiny man. Here, I'll send it to you.

Yeah, send it to me too. Yeah. Here you go. And coming. He's just a little tiny man over there. A little tiny man. Yeah. He's just chilling.

Oh, the guy on the right. Yeah. He's just like, hey. And the rest of them are probably what like. Actually, they're Norwegian. They're floating a few inches above the ground. He just, he's wearing heavy shoes. Right.

The alcohol, the copious amounts of alcohol and drugs make their skin less translucent than when they originally floating, but they still float. Well, plus, uh, that lead singer, I believe is from the Netherlands. Oh, they're Finnish. Oh, they're Finnish. Oh, they're Finnish. Oh, even more. So they're totally translucent then. They float a few inches above the grand.

They're translucent. They know mage powers. That's what they do. She's still, I think she is still from the Netherlands. And that language is hard to penetrate, not because it's a hard language or because it's a freaking magical origin and comes from like the ancient elves. The droods. Those cool droods. All right. Here's this first story for you.

A man was rushed to an ER. That's a, that's an emergency room in a hospital. Sure, in the air. With beans in his peen. With beans in his peen? Yeah. Was his name Dr. Seuss? No, but it should have been.

Did he go to see Dr. Sus? Tell me how you got the beans in your peen. Well, Doc, I don't know how I got beans in my peen. They were in my spleen, but then they, then I used the machine, and it pulled. I used the machine to put them in my peen. I do not like these beans in my peen. I do not like them, Dr. Green. Oh, that's really good.

I want the whole book. Oh, my God. I want this book. I want to make this book right now. Yeah, why don't we make this book? Okay, so this guy, Paul sent this in, by the way. I just want to give Paul some credit. Thank you for thinking of us.

Yeah. Gosh, what made you think we'd like this story? Paul, geez. Weird. Weird, Paul. Weird. So anyway, this guy's rest of the thing. Here's the deal.

This guy, this is one of those articles that's written like someone's making an essay. But anyway, this writer says, I love opening my bellbox to find generous T.J. Max coupons. I love when my nosy neighbor brings me a scone because he baked too many and wants to appear inside my apartment. I love walking down the street and hearing a man scream in agony because he's crammed six kidney beans up as urethra. Ah, life's little miracles. Like I said, it's really like, you know, fancy shaming. fancy, you know, this guy's writing a column, not a story. We asked for the news, not the weather.

Yeah, what are you doing here, buddy? Anyway, it says the aforementioned bean-filled urethor belongs to a 30-year-old Michigan man who, per the Daily Mail, inserted the beans for sex stuff. Whatever. Rowan Atkinson could not be reached for comment. Yeah, it seems like a weird thing. But anyway, the Daily Mail explains that the man was initially planning to express

the beans. I hate that. Isn't that just sound horrible? Yeah. That sound like... Yeah. Ting, ting, ting, ting, ting. Hitting like a brass bucket or something.

Oh, my gosh. Anyway, he says he was trying to do that. Okay. When natural emission failed, oh, geez. The man... Expressing an omission. Yeah, an emission. favorite words. The man tried to pluck

the beans out with tweezers. When that failed, he went to the hospital. There he confessed that he was a fairly experienced bean insurter but had never attempted to utilize this many beans at once. So what do you think?

Should like 150 shades of no? This is what I think. It sounds horrendous. Listen, I I feel like I'm a pretty open-minded guy. Sure.

No judgment from Brian, you know? Sure. While I've never, you know, they've never really inserted anything to any of my orifices, that honestly would be the last place I'd put something. Yeah, I'm trying to think of a, that is an exit only zone for me. Yeah, yeah, that's like, yeah, no, not even.

Unloading, no loading. It's a no loading zone. Right, right. And I've heard things. I've read, I've read, um, Chuck Polonic short stories about, um, stuff. Yeah. I'm just wondering why you'd, okay, let me, I'm going to ask a hard, I'm going to ask a hard. This is a hard question.

I'm going to ask everybody in the universe, all right? Okay. Here's the hard question. Are you, are you running out. Are you running out of I, and like, at what point did you go? Oh, you know, we've done everything. It's all, we've done it all, dear. How about to get those beans and let's go to next level?

I just can't. You know, it starts with, hey, I had a thought. I mean, I go through this. You know how you were saying we need to spice up our sex life a little bit? Yeah. How about some beans? How about some beans? No, in our end?

Oh, no. No, no. Let's go kidney. Yeah. Get the big ones. Dear, get the big ones. I'm allergic to soy, so make sure they're kidney. All right.

Anyway, that's gross. We'll move on to this story now. Yeah. Speaking of a guy who probably tried this. We'll start with lentils, dude. And then work your way up. Exactly. Oh, little tiny lentil beans.

That I could deal with. Did I ever tell you about the time I put a number of beans in my retry? Oh, that wins. I don't know why that wins. wins, but it wins, too funny. Yeah. All right. I'm having too much fun here.

Okay, here's the story about a guy who probably had beans in his ween at one point. Sure. Hugh Hefner. It's not really about him, but you can be buried next to Hugh Hefner and Marilyn Monroe, meaning nestled between the two. Yeah, yeah. Well, next to them. He's right next to her, so there's not a space between them. Oh, you have to be on one side of the other, I guess.

Yeah, we've been there. We've been to Forrest, no, Pierce Brothers, that's it. Yeah, Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park in L.A. We've been to this cemetery, and Christina is a huge Maryland-N-Roe fan. So years ago when we went to L.A., that was one of the things that she really wanted to do was go and see. And this is where a ton of musicians, Frank Zappa's buried there, the Velvet Fog, his name. I can't remember all of us. I remember it as the Velvet Fogg.

Mel Tourmey, Mel Tourmey, right? Mel Tormey, Don Knott's, Sam Simon, or no, maybe not Sam Samp. One of the Simpsons writers who actually has, like, a really funny gravestone, I think, with a dog sitting next to it, a stone dog sitting next to it. That's adorable. Anyway, we've been there, and it is a huge point of contention with Tina. I can't believe that you have. Hefner would pay to be put next to Marilyn Monroe. What a dick.

You know, like, basically she, like, you shouldn't be able to do that. Like, say, oh, I'm going to be stuck right next to Marilyn Monroe for eternity. This was my plan all along. Exactly. Yes. Tina was not happy about that whole situation. That's hilarious. Is there someone else she would prefer be next to him, as she ever said?

Next to him or next to her? Next to her. She died first. um i mean yeah like put james dean or put other actors of that era uh even one of her husbands um or or guys that she was you know jo demaggio or norman mailer or i can't try to remember well those those guys were attached to her weren't they at some point as writers and stuff yeah but not not friggin hugh hefner it's like we get jfk put jfk next to yeah put him down next to jfk yeah we all pretty much know what was going on there, so.

I don't think, I don't think Jackie Onassis would have any problem with that. She's fine. She's still live, or she dead? She's alive, isn't she? Is Jackie Onassis, Kennedy Lady Alive? Former Jackionassus? Oh, no, she died. Wow. She died way back in 1994. Wow. Oh, shit. Wow,

I thought she was still alive. Okay, good. Well, we won't be killing her by talking about her on the show, then. No, we will not be doing that. um can't blame us for that one folks that was back at 1994 well for two million bucks you can have the one that's open okay and it's next to the two of them yeah it's the next to the two of them it's proximity anyway uh for all eternity and i apparently don't knots down the row going hey and hey and yeah he is he's totally yeah he has a cool gravestone he's got like etched in his gravestone

are photos or not photo like etchings of him in all of his most famous role So, of course, Barney Fife, but then you've got Mr. Limpett. You've got, um... Oh, look at that. That's great. Or whatever. I mean, you've got a bunch. It's like a montage.

It's a Don Nuts montage on his... I'm looking at it now. This is really cool. Look at that. Yeah. I mean, if you're a Don Nott's fan, that you'd be super into this. Let's see. Oh, yeah.

So that's, there's, the Barney Fives are very, uh, prominent. I see hot, hot, lead, and cold feet, Don Nott's up top. Love that man. Yeah, right. As a kid. Mr. Limpit, like you said. What's the space guy one? I can't remember the space one.

Oh, I don't remember. Yeah. They're not going to use his, wasn't he on that? What was the movie that had the town that was in black and white and the rest of the world was color? I want to say. Kristen Dunst, maybe. Yeah, that was, and Spider-Man was in. Welcome to Pleasantville?

Pleasantville. Just Pleasantville, okay. Oh, just Pleasantville, okay. Yeah. And it had Spider-Man, or original Spider-R, or what's his name? Right, McGuire. Right, Tobie McGuire. Yeah, and it, uh, right, they're not using that photo.

No, no. I don't see, I really don't see Mr. Furley on there either. No, and I want to see that fish when he's a fish and the Disney thing. I want to see him looking like a fish. That'd be cool. Yeah, the Mr. Tell him, Mr. Lippet, wasn't that that one? But the actual fish form, you know what I mean? Yes, right, right, right, yeah.

I want the little fish man. No, but how cool is that? Like, I want to a collage of my greatest hits on my gravestone. All right. Could I get this $2 million gravestone next to Marilyn Monroe, Hugh Hefner, and change my name to F, Hugh Hefner? So first initial F, middle name Hugh, last name Hefner. Yeah, do that. I would approve your idea.

Could I go fund me this project? So I'll be, I will change my name, my legal name, to F. Hugh Hefner. Yeah. And get that, uh, that crypt right next to Hugh Heffner and Marilyn Monroe. Yeah. And Tina will, Tina will adore me forever for doing that. I'll forever be known as F. Hugh Heffner. Yeah, it'll never be a problem.

It'll all be good all the time. It works for Murray Abraham. Well, I guess it didn't work for Murray Abraham. What did I see him in the other day? And every time he came on, I go, F. Murray Abraham. And my wife was like, we're not going to watch this anymore. I hope it was Mythic Quest, because that's a great show. No, I heard he was in that, though.

Oh, oh, it's when we were, it's when we were binging Homeland, and he was in that. He was an FBI director guy in Homeland. And so every time we come on screen, like there's Claire Dane's doing her thing, bha-da-da, walking around, whatever, making bad life to choices. And then, you know, redhead guide from band of brothers walking around doing his shit. And then in comes F. Murray Abraham, and everything's quiet in the living room. We're all watching it. And I'd go, F. Murray Abraham.

And Kim's like, we're not watching the show. The horse he wrote him on. Yeah, I love it. Yeah, he's great. And he's really good in Mythic. He's, you need to check that show out because he's, think of it as, you know, people should quit lumping it as a video game show. It's not.

It's an office comedy with like your typical office characters. They just happen to be in the business of that. And it's not. Right. I've heard that same thing from other people, which I really like that that's the case. This is about inner office relationships and an industry, but the industry is not the key. The key is the key.

characters and that's exactly it's kind of like superstore it's not like oh well you know it's a it's a show about uh target and walmart and what it's like to work there no it's a show it's an office comedy that just happens to take place in a in a giant superstore exactly and everyone should be watching that as well it's very good uh all right oh that's interesting okay there's a little bit more on this um so you got natalie wood Truman Capote oh right uh two spots down from Monroe with Hugh Heffner in between them. There's this granite plot in question, which was purchased in 1997 by theatrical composer and lyricist Jerry Herman, known for his work as composer for Hello, Dolly. Hello, Dolly.

Ma'am, ma'am. Mammy, how I love you, how I love your, mommy. Le Cage of Foles. La Cajafo. Le Cajafo. I don't want to get French kills me every time. Following his death, he ended up buried next to his mother in New Jersey. So that's why this plot never got used.

Oh, really? Oh, wow. So somebody bought this, it's prime real estate, and then gave it up. Yep, yep. To be buried next to his mother in New Jersey. And his goddaughter, Jane Dorian, told the Wall Street Journal, quote, that plot is next to the two sexiest people that were ever alive. Oh, I'd like to raise my hand and have an objection about one of them.

One of them was kind of a weird pervert and a freaking daycoat. I think you're confusing sexiest with sexiest. I sip that tea the exact wrong moment. Perfect. I waited. I saw that I saw that I had this one. It was a chance I had to take. Oh, I can actually, it was coming out my nose and I can smell.

I can have a tea. Oh, my gosh. That was funny. Yeah, I disagree on the Hefner section part. Yeah, the two sexiest people? I mean, they're women in the chat today. And I don't know, maybe some men that are into the dudes. Can you guys tell me?

Do you think Hugh Hefner was ever, even in his back in his, like, you know, cool cat 60s days where he's walking around his apartment with his stupid pipe and everything? Like, was any of that ever attractive? I mean, no, right? Hell no, everyone's saying. Yeah. Yeah. But he was definitely into dudes.

Maybe they're talking about Natalie Wood. Because Natalie Wood was beautiful. She was gorgeous. Natalie Wood was dropped that beautiful. So maybe if, no. Because he really does. Herman's goddaughter really says there's Marilyn Monroe, Hugh Heffner, then Jerry's. Yeah, and then Jerry.

He's next to the two sexiest people were ever alive. My God, it's like, get this woman's eyes check because it's not even just like, you know, the two most popular people or even two very attractive people, the two sexiest people that were ever alive. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. That is an honorific that it never should be applied. Natalie Wood would have been near 80 now. Oh, wow. She died at 43 in 1981 while filming, not on the set,

but they were filming that brain thing, brain fart. What was it called? Brainstorm. Brainstorm, which I loved that movie. So they kept using weird shots of her in that, and I remember even as a kid thinking something was off. But then didn't Robert Wagner get in trouble for killing or something? Robert Wagner

did. Christopher Walking was on the boat. But had nothing to do with it, he says. I mean, I believe him. You believe, I believe Christopher Walken. I mean, what's he going to?

I mean, what would he do? He was never going to push her in. Yeah, no. Yeah, but that extent, yes, there is a reason he was on the boat. They were all in that movie and we're all sort of having fun and celebrating or whatever. But Wagner,

I don't trust that guy. Something about him. Exactly. When they met, it was milder. Most foul. Can I'm going to confess something, Scott? Do it.

I hated this, and I hated that I did this. So I told you I watched the first episode of the new Fantasy Island on Fox just to see what hot garbage it was. Oh, no. Apple TV said, hey, new episode of Fantasy Islands up. You want to watch it? It was Sunday morning. I just watched a bunch of episodes of Superstore while I was making breakfast.

eating the stuff, I'm like, all right, put it on. Is it just as bad? Did it get better? This episode featured the guy who played, do you remember on Lost? Yeah. It does feel like this is going to be, you know, like everybody from Lost come do this show. Do you remember the, so he was the guy in the video that they saw. Oh, I know who you mean, a Japanese actor.

Japanese actor and he was like He's great He is great, yes And I can't remember Can't remember his character, Hanzo Hanzo? Hanso something Wasn't he in, he was in the devs

thing that I love, that we love some He was in devs as well, yes Yes, he was Anyway, so he had been living on the island Dealing with grief And his deal was that he could sleep For five years at a time But he'd have to wake up and be awake for 48 hours

so he was already on the island in a little place oh that's an interesting idea he woke up and said all right well let rourke know i'm awake and then so she hangs out with him and says and he's still still uh dealing with the grief do you want to do you want to make the wake up permanent now nope i'm going to go back to sleep as soon as this 48 hours is over i can't deal with the grief yeah and then and then she finds a dog for him and he decides to stay alive Like you stay awake. And then the other fantasy was a couple who didn't get off the plane like normal people. No, they parachuted down from the plane because they're thrill seekers and they're looking.

Their fantasy is the ultimate thrill. And so Rourke pulls a whole like Freaky Friday body swap on them so that she's in his body and he's in her body. And boy, the hijinks. Oh, man. The whole, the hijinks. And, uh, uh, oh, what was I going to say? It's just, it's just so dumb. It's so dumb.

It sounds terrible. I'm sad that actor Slumman in this. He's great. And he was also on the expanse. He played, um, yes. What's his name? It's great in that. I can't think he was name.

What's, uh, yeah, I wish I can remember his, I can't remember his name. You have it up in front of you then, probably. No, I'm going to bring it up. Let's see. here. Because I want to know. We have to know now. We've given this guy all this airtime, and we haven't said shit about it.

It's the guy who originally set up the Dharma Initiative. All right. I think I've found it. It is, no, that's Enright. Hold on. Oh, man. Why is this so hard to find him? There's a, no.

Shit. Let's see. Oliver Hanso. No, not Oliver Hansa. That's who I was thinking was Oliver Hounso, but it wasn't, because he was the head but didn't. I'm looking. It's, I can't, why is this so hard to find? Yeah, it's, uh, you know, we're, there's three people who are like, oh, yeah, I hope they figure this out.

And then there's a bunch of people who are saying, oh, come on, move, move on. Yeah, move past it, but I, sometimes you have to know, you know, I know, it's going to drive me nuts until I know, so. I can't believe he's not. Dr. Chang. That's it. Thank you, Necrosak, for finally, yeah, there he is right there. There he is, yeah. Played by Francois Chow.

That's his name. It's a weird French name. He's Canadian, I think. That guy's great. He is great. That guy is excellent in everything that he does. Oh, he's going to be, oh, no, is he going to be in Shang-Chi? But no, that's just another, that's like fall TV movie guide.

lost the tick, the expanse. They're both, both him and Jung from, your Shang Chi guy, I can't think of his name all of a sudden. Anyway, he's in, he was also in the expanse. Oh, really? Cool. Small role,

but it was in the event. All right. So, one more thing about this stupid show. So during this whole little body swap deal, the woman in the guy's body goes to a bar on the island. and a bunch of, like, says the wrong thing to a couple of guys and says, well, I'm tough because I'm a guy now and gets his block knocked off.

Okay. Are these people in the bar also having a fantasy on fantasy island? You can't ask those questions. Like, is it their fantasy to sit in a bar and have a bar fight? What I always assumed was back in the, like the old one is that he always had all these people set up kind of like, not like Holodex. but uh or west world but kind of like that where people were hired to be ready for whatever like actors or kind of thing right uh true also yeah let's say you know you're how do you how do you take work off uh to go to fantasy island do you say oh it's

going to be exactly two weeks yeah right do you know that your fantasy is going to be uh fulfilled in exactly two weeks or nine days or do they give you a time frame how do you know when to book your ticket back right right plus you know that you know that that in real life, these would all be, like, gnarly sex fantasies anyway. Oh, it totally would. Exactly. Like, oh, my gosh, it's another stepmother? Oh, for Pete's sake.

The last thing you're going to do is... Bring in Nancy. Hey, Nancy, you got to play another stepmother. Who just caught her stepson masturbating and is going to, you know, teach him. You know, that's what it would have been. That's all it would be. It would be the top five list on porn tube or whatever it is, you porn. Yeah, this is.

is like only fans after the change I guess that's so weird all right we're going to take a break when we come back I have it on good authority that Justin Robert Young

That was David Lynch. That was David Lynch, who likes factories and nude women?

Factories and nude women, apparently. Okay, all right. Hey, good on you there, buddy. Yeah, do your best. Hey, that song, who was that again? Oh, yeah, that song that we just heard was Lifetime by Mandela. Make sure to check out his brand new EP coming out October 1st called The L. Ooh.

It's like the L train. Like the L. train. It's not the references. Yes. Actually, it is. Yeah. Probably. Okay. So kind of Chicago-e, L-Train kind of... I don't know if he's from Chicago, but that is the nickname given to the elevated train in Chicago.

Yeah. I've been on that train one time. That's when I had to go home and see my wife and then remember that John Candy had nowhere to go on Thanksgiving, so I had to take it. Oh, yeah, I remember that time, yeah. And the song, a horrible cover of every time you go away was playing in your head during that whole thing. The worst cover of that

song ever made. All right, I'm going to play this now. Check this out. These are their stories. Oh, do, do, do, do, do, de, de, de, de, me. Oh, I'm terrible with names. Joining us on the line from his studios in Austin, Texas. We have one Justin Robert Young joining us. Justin Malcolm, how are you?

I don't think Raz Al Ghul ever made it off that train. No, he never did. He never did. I've got a particular set of skills. Yeah, except getting off this train at the most right moment. I always wondered, like, in that scene, we are presuming him dead. Yeah. But I always thought Nolan would figure out some way to pry him.

him up and get him out again because you know he's a comic book character everyone lives forever so why not yeah Nolan doesn't like the spooky yeah everything's got to be science explained yeah so i think i think the the the the pit of regeneration was maybe a bridge too far for old old old Nolan yeah and Liam neason you know he gets out of a lot of a lot of real frisky situations but this one sorry buddy you're no being crushed by a train because batman I don't have to save you. Oh, that thing, his vocalization on that is the least, you know how you always talk about things in movies that don't hold up? I'm telling you right now, maybe if there's a top 100 of all time in Hollywood, it's in the top five of the worst decisions.

It's so bad, dude, so bad. Okay, number one, it's not even the worst vocal decision of that franchise when Bain is like. I like Bain. You're insane. Your punishment shall be severe. I actually, I liked both, right? You merely inherited the darkness. I was born in it.

Mourned by it. Yeah, I don't know. I think that there's a line between iconic and a fine line between iconic and mockable. Because everybody can do certain, everybody can do an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression. But the further we get away from Arnold Schwarzenegger's fame and everybody doing it and being synonymous with being hacky or annoying, the more we're going to look back and be like, oh, my God, what an iconic voice. In the same way that, like, what is it? Edward G. Robinson that does the like, yeah, dirty way of thing. I was like, nobody living seen G. Robinson movie, but everybody knows like, yeah, see, man.

And I'll bet you back in the day people were like, that sucks. why does he do that dumb thing the meh-a-thing i hate no you're right it's a thing of its time i suppose but i just i go back to it now we watched dark night not that long ago and i just thought this is so bad that it's everything else nobody said oh that's silly voice edward g robinson is doing right because at the time when we saw oh uh that what you said we know that nobody was like that's a stupid thing no you think that they said that back then they might have back at the time they were on forums and they were like this sucks you know Oh, did you hear that Edward G. Robinson voice in the latest talking?

Oh, it's terrible. He sounds ridiculous. Like everybody did it back then. But I don't know. Like, I think, I guess I'm going to, okay, here's my final take on this. The Christian Bale voice is a bad idea, but a good trilogy of films. The Ben Affleck voice modulator is a cool idea, but everything else sucks that happened over there. so I wish there was a way you could go back in time and say look Nolan what you need to do take an idea from the comics you got Batman occasionally had a little thing built into his deal to make him sound a little lower different hard to understand whatever give him that and don't ask Christian Bell to do it especially in front of Alfred who knows who the F he is

Alfred doesn't care you don't go listen Alfred I got a guy he knows who you are he's an interesting choice to in terms of the movie that Christopher Nolan wanted to make because all of the Christopher Nolan movies Bruce Wayne is the center of the story. Right, right. Batman is a thing

that Bruce Wayne does. Yeah. In the Snyder movies, Batman is the character. Right. And occasionally he goes into hibernation. It's Bruce Wayne, right? I agree.

That's a very good distinction, yes. There's like, I think it almost makes sense as a character decision. to be like, no, it feels weirder when Bruce Wayne is Batman because all of this should feel weird. He's in a

rubber suit jumping around the city like a ding-da. Yeah, you're not wrong. This will be a, so it's going to be interesting to see what this new thing looks like from the perspective of sort of, all right, we've done everything from, you know,

the campy end to the more serious, take itself too seriously end, to the kind of now he's just one of a group of people sort of Justice League in here's a chance to look at Batman kind of fresh and do it while he's younger and he's like more freshly the new Batman and you know we'll take some some different kind of inspiration from the comics like I actually really excited about this new direction um we'll see I'm excited it feels a little finchery doesn't it a little but this that director um can't think of his name he did the last two uh Planet of the

apes movies he's he's really he's got a great no he's he's good he's good Good. I loved both those Planet of the Apes movies. I thought they were both really good. But yeah, it feels it feels a little finchery, which, I mean, to be fair would seem to be like if David Fincher was going to do a superhero movie, you would imagine it would be. It would be a good fit for him. Yeah, I agree with that. I think people in suits and and screwed up things are happening and, you know. Matt Reeves, there it is. Ridler is very like the game. well all right we got our batman out of our system so that's cool I've been reading a lot of Batman comics too so it's have you

yeah what's he been up to I read a series called White Knight that I loved oh my gosh I loved it so much it was really good but you know he's pretty dark and broody and you know a little bit messed up and thinks about bats and his parents a lot

it's that sort of thing you know all right hey Justin real quick so it feels like it already fell out of out of the collective consciousness last week all anybody could talk about is refugees and airplanes and people leaving Afghanistan and political ramifications and fall out and, you know, messy exit and all this stuff. And then this week, I feel like nobody's talking about it at all. And so in a weird way, um, wait,

I'm talking about Afghanistan? Yeah. Or it just feels like it left, right? Or am I wrong? I guess I'm not watching 24 hour news network, so I don't know, you know. Well, neither do I. Uh, no, I think it's still there. The breaking news this morning was that the Taliban said that there would be no extensions on the August 31st deadline and now they were going to be restricting

Afghans from making it to the airport. So I wouldn't hold my breath on saying that Afghanistan is out of the news. Yeah. Well, probably never will be. You know, totally. No, I think it's, I mean, it'll probably be faded by the end of the year unless, of course, you know, this

this exit has led to a need to re-engage and we're redeploying troops or something on the outskirts of possibility. But I think, look, it's already ugly. So if you're the Biden administration, the thing that you can hope for is that, well, it's, you know, we're just going to take our lumps and move on because foreign policy doesn't move the needle in the same way that the economy does. And either of them currently move the needle in the same way that the coronavirus stuff does. which is really the thing that's kind of powering Biden's approval ratings down right now is a decline in people's faith in him as a coronavirus leader. Right. So speaking of that, some states having their worst numbers in the entirety of the pandemic right now, Florida, your home state, Florida.

In terms of infections, yes. Infections, yeah. They've hit all-time highs on all the waves. If you count the same waves they had in 2020, the waves this time are higher, including the current wave does I always have this question so you hear about local you hear about states having issues right specific issues like Florida Texas Tennessee some others that are just really off the charts at the moment and then others doing a little better and then a lot of stuff in the middle Pfizer getting approved for you know their FDA approval all this stuff plays a role in you know

the news cycle but here's my question on the federal level when Florida has taken a dump like this um it's easy to to everybody pile on to florida and go well you're all obviously florida's doing it wrong and desantis is an idiot and all this other stuff but uh that one usually happens is then the that state will say well whatever we're not getting support from the government or we don't think the administration blah whatever so they go back and forth in that way i guess what i'm saying is does does it hurt or help the economic slash what's happening on the ground success that the administration needs like you were just saying you know the economy is the thing people focus on the most so so is that affected by these states having this problem or can they effectively

sort of shun them in the same way that you know trump would shun san francisco or federal government yeah like yes like you know what i'm saying like it's we have this idea of federal government shun the states yeah can can they do that i mean they do that sometimes right like trump did it Trump did it. Everybody does it. They'll be like, they'll single it out, somebody out and go, ah, the crime and the homelessness in Seattle, look what you've done to yourselves,

you're liberal idiots, that sort of thing. I guess what I'm saying is, does that game yield anything for anyone on either side, or is this just nothing but blah? Presumably, we would, I think, enjoy it if our federal government had a working relationship with our state governments, but specifically in the world of politics,

and when you were talking about somebody that might be a challenger to Joe Biden's presidency in 2024 in Ron DeSantis, that is less likely to happen. I mean, I don't know where we want to, where we want to start with this. I mean, I guess to answer your question directly without going into the preamble, no, I don't think that does much but rally the hardcores, although so much of politics now is rallying the hardcores. So, you know, it is what it is. Although I don't believe that having a opposite level discord between the federal government and the states,

just because it's Biden to DeSantis and Abbott now as opposed to Trump to Whitmer and Newsom or Cuomo, I don't think that that necessarily does much for Biden being. the kind of post political unifier that he sold himself as, so whether or not that was possible. So I do think that it is

probably a net drag on Biden's presidency, but I don't believe that it wins any new converts when you are on straight party lines doing a tug of war. Yeah, that makes sense. You think DeSantis is locked

for 2024? That's absolutely happening. Unless another Florida retiree runs, you know, yeah, I would say by the polling, he is, he is viewed by even some Trump supporters as kind of Trump with a filter. Yeah. And Trump is viewed, especially considering he's still saying that elections are illegitimate, which will be an odd position when he tries to run in another election. Yeah. you know that there are there are self-destructive tendencies to Donald Trump both the candidate and the man that you know will will preclude him from winning right and also but then again I don't think I don't know if to Sandus has to run for his office for his job again in in two

year or in a year so he will be freshly elected to a second term as governor should he win then, and then he would have to turn right around and kind of start running for president. But, you know, if Trump runs, then I would suspect he would probably just, he would probably, you know, take a powder on that. Oh, you think DeSantis would? He'd just let Trump have that stage. Yeah, I think he would clear the way for Trump. Unless you are willing to go straight at Donald Trump. Yeah.

And you will need to slice his throat. Yeah. Politically, metaphorically. Like, you will need to do to Donald Trump what Barack Obama did to Hillary Clinton. And you will eat his heart and take his power in the way that Obama did to Clinton for that be a thing. And so if you're not ready for that fight, I mean, I don't think, unless you're 100% sure that's what you're going to do, boy, that's going to be a hard one. Yeah, I agree. And there are there other prominent names in that 2024 GOP group that, same thing.

probably just get out of the way. Article by Ben Jacobs, I believe his name is, of New York Magazine, about all the Republicans that have already visited Iowa. The Iowa State Fair just came and went. And, of course, since that is the first caucus of the primary calendar in 2024, people are already going to, you know, meet the folks and, you know, eat some fried butter and take some pictures with a with a hog or something

people have gone down there Mike Pompeo is one of them that has apparently gotten a pretty warm response Ted Cruz is obviously still there but also some insurgents like Marjorie Taylor Green went to the Iowa State Fair oh my lord all right well her home she's another one look I think

she when her first term is done she should go back and renew her old dog the bounty hunter show and keep that going that thing going This is Christy Knoem or Marjorie Taylor Green? Marjorie Taylor Green. She really, I think she missed a chance to keep that alive.

She will never leave Congress. She's too famous now. They made her too famous. Yeah, I know. Now does his raise money and she's in a district that she will never lose. Yeah. All right. Well, this has all been good.

We got Batman. We got Florida problems. We got all kinds of stuff here. Even some sneaky ideas about what 24 may bring. but I can tell you this. Here's something that's not so sneaky. I'm going to be on with Justin. We're going to record a PX3 episode.

And if you want to get, I'm telling you right now, whenever we do this, Justin gets the answers out of me. So if you want some real answers out of me, you're going to hear it. You can't hang up on me on Discord. Right? No.

He has no control on your show. Yeah. None. And he always coughs up the good stuff on PX3. I do. And I'm so excited about it. That'll be happening. And we're going to be recording that.

I'm not sure when they'll go live. We'll make sure to let you guys know. And make sure you check that out. It'll be up live tomorrow morning. Oh, okay, cool. So you guys will hear it right away. Immediately. Right now, if you haven't already subscribed to the politics, politics, politics

podcast, we will not only have the interview with Scott, but also a breakdown of what's happening in the House right now. Actually, a really crucial moment for Joe Biden's agenda when it comes to human infrastructure, as well as they look at the California recall, including the curious strategy of Gavin News, and the fact that there might be a low turnout for Democrats, which could mean that radio talk show host Larry Elder, who was reported last week to have pressured an ex-fiance into getting a tattoo that said Larry's girl with a Superman logo on it and apparently brandishing a gun in front of her could be the next governor of California. Wow. That sounds great for California. Excellent. You got out of there just in time. Justin Robert Young, everybody.

Find him at Justin R. Young on Twitter. Oh, I got to play this. Where is that? The jury will now retire. I'll see you next time. Well then. See, Jirbs. See, Brian, I remembered again.

Love it. This is an S.B.S.A. Scott. Bad. But did I not put them in? I didn't put them in the template. Oh yeah, because I didn't have access at the time. I probably do now.

That's a good one. A summer of 92. That is what it sounds like when I'm alone in the house and I'm walking around. I am singing pop songs with lyrics changed whatever I'm doing. I assume so. When I first started listening to you way back in the day, long before any of this stuff, you would sing your theme song for cover. Well, I still do.

The Coverville theme right now is me singing. Oh, that's you now. Oh, it's different, though, than it used to be. It originally was the Bruce Springsteen cover me, but around episode 75 or 100, I changed it to my... That's right. You still sing it now. Yeah. Live every time. It's me every time.

I should just record it and put a recording of it on the beginning of the show, but no, I still sing. You don't sing it every time, right? You do record it. No, of course not. I wanted that to be true. And there's no full version of it. There is just a version of me doing the first verse and the chorus, and that's it. And that's the only version that's out there.

Nice. I would love to do a real version of the song and put it up on iTunes and have a song on iTunes. It'll go viral. Oh, sure. Sure, well. The closest I've got are voice samples I did for a bunch of Eric's songs. Yeah, yeah. Shoot them with laser.
