I've played that one in a while. Hey, everybody, welcome back to TMS, the morning stream for October 5th, 2021. Scott Johnson here, Brian Abbott there. Good morning. Hello. Hello. It's me. Hey, I was going to ask you a question right on top of the show here.

Yesterday, a neighbor or somebody pooped on your lawn or their dog did. Well, their dog did anyway. Yes. Did you, any follow up there? I went out right after the show. immediately with my phone, because I was going to take a picture of it to use on the show today. I'm happy to say that on the way back, they must have picked it up because the poop was gone. The poop was gone.

Sometimes humanity doesn't let us down. Exactly. Sometimes the goodness of people pull through. So, yeah, I couldn't even find. They did a great job. I couldn't even find, like, remnants. You know, usually sometimes if it's a real mess, you've got leftovers in there. No, no, they did great.

So, hey, good on them for being such good people and taking care of their dogs squat. Yeah, indeed. And maybe, you know, maybe this era of everyone's got a camera is just enough to nudge people to say, you know, maybe. You should do the right thing anyway, but also I'm being filmed. So I go get a bag. I'll come back and I'll do it. Faith in humanity restored.

All right. That's right. Hey, you remember me talking about art this last, at this oddities and curiosity's expone? I said it was an artist there that was great and had a really cool look. I'm going to just, I mean, it's kind of going to promote him. I mean, I'm just going to say, go check out Doug Mansfieldart. I'll put a link in the show notes. but he does this really cool

I see why you said this is remind you of Carter stuff this is very much of Carter-esque yeah yeah it's like Art Deco's 60s Art Deco stuff that would fit be right at home on the back of a pinball machine although the stuff that he's got God the stuff that he's got on the

yeah you see have to go really far down the page to get to what I consider to be the good stuff because there's a few things here oh there we go his paintings and things it's his digital art that is like okay but his paintings are really where it's at oh yeah look at oh yeah this is great uh happy to give this guy some uh yeah

some air time here dug mansfield art dot com he has no idea no idea that i'm promoting him and uh whatever good good for him because he's he's got some good stuff yeah the paintings the paintings are really good. Oh, look at the Miss Pac-Man one. I want that on my wall. That's cool.

Right? Yeah, no kidding. With the three like beatnik hipsters watching Leggings Woman play some Pac-Man. By the time you get to the bottom, the guy in the bottom is on vacation in the enchanted tiki room, he looks drunk out of his mind or stoned or something. Oh, gosh. Look at those bags under his eyes.

Holy cow. Boy, he loves the video games, though. Look at that. Cuberd, asteroids. Yeah, total gamer guy. Yeah. Well, that's awesome. Anyway.

Very cool. Look at that. Look at us doing free promotion for people. Yeah. Well, we go from poo pick up to promotion to, I can't think of a good P word, so I'll just say a game. I'm going to inflict on Brian, okay? Pondering.

Positing. Positing. There you go. Positing. Not depositing. Positing. No, no, because the dog did that yesterday. Yes.

That's right. So here's my thinking. Since Brian tests me and done away and others all the time in various ways, once in a while we got to, you know, throw it back the other way a little bit. And so today I thought I'd do it kind of a weird thing. I got to pull up the right link here. It's only fair. Right?

It is fair. It is fair. And it's a good way for me to just say, yeah, you know, I may have all these quiz and stuff, but I know jack shit. Yeah. I mean, you may, and you might kill this. I don't know. You might do really well. Who knows? Who knows? I'm already saying like, I'm letting you introduce the game, but boy, am I worried about this?

Well, all right. So here's the title of it or the purpose of it is Brian's going to see if he can tell what, which instrument is being played. So Brian's a bit of a music aficionado, loves the music, you know? You like the modern, the old, the new, the whatever Brian likes it all. And has the biggest music library of anyone. personally know. I still have CDs, people. Still have CDs. That's right. So this should be interesting. You're only getting here sounds. Okay. I will not look at the chat room. And just as a warning, I'll probably guess obo for three-fourths of these. Fantastic. Let's see if we have any oboes. I don't know if we will or not. We might. All right. I'm going to hit play. Let's start with, I'm not sure how many of these are because I can, I didn't really preview this very well, but we'll

see what we got here. So, all right, number one, hold on. It's the video is asking for likes. Here we go. Number one. We're starting easy. All right, that's easy. So what do you think that is? I've got one of those. It's an organ. Okay.

Brian's got an organ. Hype organ to be specific, that is correct? High organ, yeah. Nicely done. All right, how about this one? By the way, that is where the phrase pulling out all the stops comes from. Oh. Because stops create the limiters on the sounds.

But when you want like the full, full on. pipe organ blasting, you pull out all the stops. Oh, I had never heard that. I thought pulling out the stops was when a plane needed to leave, and you pulled the things out from the tires, the chucks. Pull the tire chucks out. Yeah, I guess that's not it. All right.

Nope. Damn it. This whole, my whole life, I thought that was a thing. I hate when I find out a thing I thought was wrong the whole time. Man, he was done. Well, you know, it's, uh, it's, I've heard that. So, you know, you'll Google it later and say, no, Brian, it's, I'd like to make a correction on yesterday.

So you get one of these. All right, well done. Here's your next one. You get me right there. Oh, wait. It's just telling us now. Oh, yeah, that's going to be a pipe organ. That's a pipe organ.

All right. Here's number two. Wait. Oh, geez. Okay. Why isn't it? Okay. That would be a slide trombone, I believe.

Did you call that a trombone or a slider? I'm going to say it's a slide trombone. All right. Let's find out. Is that correct? Yep. It says it's correct. Ding.

You've done it. Okay, good. I guess I should let the entire instrument play, but I just... It's all good. What you've done is good work. Okay, here we go. Sufficient. Okay.

The way this plays, I can't really control it. Here we go. Number three. That would be a cowbell. Okay. Well, hold on a second. Because a cowbell you hit, you strike with a stick or a mallet. That's, I think, well, we'll still call it a cowbell, because it still has a clacker.

That's still a, yeah, cowbell. All right, and let's see if it's a bit of a cowbell. Let's see, it'll tell me right here. Oh, number three is indeed a cowbell. Okay, it's somebody who's doing the shaking of it. Yeah, you know, the, what's that guy's name? Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell character, Bert Manson.

Manfredenson. Manfredgensen. Ranfringenson. I don't know what it is. Yeah, anyway. All right, number four. Exploring the space with that cowbell. All right.

Good job on that. All right, so that's that. All right, here's this one. I don't know why they play it like a manic freak show. Figuorous. A violin playing right there. All right. I think that must be correct, but let me jump ahead.

It could be a fiddle, but I'm going to say a violin. Indeed, it is a violin. Well done. All right. Next up we have, boy, these aren't hard yet. No, they're not. Okay, here's number five. wait let me go back okay that'd be a trumpet gosh dang it these are too easy all right

really easy are correct it is a trumpet all right so let's get now when they get now they're going to get hard okay hold on here okay we're moving I should guess the name but then you have to you have to spell it that should be the deal here I'm going to try trumpet ball by my without my eyes my eyes closed okay all right T-R-U-M-P-U-T-R-U-T-U-T-R-U-T-R-U-M-T trumpet. Oh, so close. Didn't I get it? T-R-U-M-P-U-T. P-E-T. Not trompute? Trumpet. Did you play the trumpet in high school? The trumpet? Okay, good. This is fun. Okay, that was trumpet. Oh, geez, there it is again. Okay, here comes number six.

Yeah. Number six. Here we go. Six. well sounds like um an acoustic guitar it could be a mandolin um i'm gonna say mandolin let's double check and see is it mandolin it is indeed a mandolin well done now we're in the weeds here a little bit just a little bit yeah all right spell mandolin uh m a and d o l it's always the second of last letter that gets me uh huh i n very very good good, yeah. It's basically Mandelorian without R O and A. Mandolin

Lorian, got it. Okay. Number seven, here we go. Okay. That'd be a xylophone. All right. Is it Xylophone? It's asking. It's asking. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, oh, is it? Dang it. It's a hold on a second. I've obviously

lost that one. but that there's another thing that's like a xylophone that is oh what is that called and it's metal tubes yeah well is it though is it metal tubes is it no no it's not called metal tubes it's a no i mean does it have metal tubes oh it has metal tubes okay shoot what is it it's it's it's it's a glockenspiel glockenspiel oh glockenspiel is not metal tubes no it's well unless this guy's playing hold on Is this guy, I think the image that, here, let me show you the image they gave me. Show me the image.

Because the image is of an old man playing what looks like a xylophone, but they put Glockenspiel below it. Yeah. Well, they look exactly the same. There. Is that, oh, that's, uh, no, that picture is a xylophone. Yeah. Zylophone is flat bars. It Glockenspiel.

Is tubes? I think a glockenspiel is tubes. Well, this claims it's Glockenspiel, but they showed a picture of an old man playing, I think, a xylophone so I think No, Glockenspiel has a flat flat uh... Oh, also has flat flat things as well

Yeah, xylophones bars are made of wood Glockenshpiels are metal plates or tubes That's making it a metallophone Oh, a metallophone? So, a metallophone. Zylophone wood, Glockenshiel metal. It's uh, the new, the hot new thing from Samsung next year.

That's right, exactly. Dang it. All right. All right. So one down, one down. Here's your next one. Hoop. number eight that's too easy that sounds like an upright bass to me

it does to me as well let's see if it concurs yeah oh do you have a different stand-up bass upright bass guitar um I'll say bass is in the word for that

yeah it's called a something bass um a something or a you know like yeah yeah yeah Yeah, yeah. A word that begins with A for the bass. Acoustic bass? Incorrect.

Yeah. Do you give up there? Yeah, I give up. What's the... They call it a double bass. A double bass. Oh, a double. I was thinking here. I was looking for a word that began with a. I like the chat room, by the way, he'll be the chat with ace of bass. A double bass. Okay.

Double bass. Double bass. Okay. Double bass. Double bass. All right. Double bass. That one's a bummer, I think. All right. Let's try the next one. Okay, I know, let's play it. Yeah, we'll play through. We'll play through it. Oh, geez. Okay, here's nine. It sounds like a tuba.

Tubah, you say. I'll say tuba. Brian says tuba. Let's see what it says. It is indeed a tuba. Congratulations. Yeah, well done. There's a guy that looks a lot like Hammond Chamberlain

playing a tuba in this image. Massive beard? Massive beard. kind of a head thing to cover up some, you know, bald issues. Yeah, yeah, it's fine. He looks good. Glasses. Does he wear glasses?

No, I don't even know. All right. I don't think he does. I think I just made him wear glasses for no reason. All right, number 10. Here's number 10. Okay. Oh, geez.

See if you can get that one, Brian. That'd be a piano. Are they looking for whether it's a Steinbeck or a... I think you, let's see. A grand piano? Let's see. It calls it a piano. Piano. Congratulations. Piana. You got it.

All right. So here's number next. This is number 11. Okay. Oh, this gets tricky. It does. Your wind instruments. Yeah, it's a woodwind. It's too, I think it's too high to be a flute. Is it a piccolo? Let's find out if it's a piccolo. Is it a piccolo? It's a recorder. A recorder.

A recorder. A recorder. Okay. Everyone's sister ran around the house with one of these in junior high. They were a quarter. Okay. Not doing that bad though. Dude, you're doing good. Okay. All right.

Next up, we got, that was weird. Oh, hey. Oh, we had our violence. Now we have our sex. Yeah. Imagine me with no shirt on. Let's see. It would be a saxophone.

Let's see if you are correct. You are correct. Ooh, that guy's got sunglasses on. All right. Cool. All right. Next up. We have, hold on here.

This is taking forever. Oh, okay. This could be tricky. Oh, okay. All right. Number 13. Here we go. Oh, shut up saxophone.

Okay, here we go. Uh. That could be tricky. That's a, is that a harpsichord? Let me double check. Is it a harpsichord? Or an auto harp. Judges are telling.

me you're close but not quite whoops I mean the answer is simply harp Oh just plain harp Is harpsichord That's funny

Is harpsichord is the one you lay flat That That sits flat on the floor As opposed to a harp Which is the big Oh See I thought I was about to learn Look at 3D

That's pretty good Very much not the same thing I thought you were going to tell me That harp is short for harpsichord and I would learn that today, but no. No, I mean, it is, well, I mean, harp, I don't know if harp itself, the big, the full instrument, they both have the same roots, though,

because they're stringed instruments that you play with your fingers or sometimes with a pick. Right. Have you noticed, by the way, how their knuckles are just monstrous of people to play those things? They're just, they have the biggest knuckles. Oh, yeah, because they're so like, I mean, you have to have so much.

hand strength over time or whatever it's like people with calluses for guitars or anything else but like harp players they got these like big old pods on their hands that used to be knuckles it's crazy all right what uh what those those two kenley and jenner or whatever their names are that play are they playing you know the harp the weird harp twins on youtube are they harp twins what are they playing i don't know who kenley and jenner are is that a real thing Kenner. There's like Kennerly. Maybe Kennerly is one of them. The weird harp twins that looked that like gazed at each other while they're playing the Game of Thrones theme. Do you know

what I'm talking about, right? The weird harp twins. Right. They're kind of ghostly. Like they're playing handheld harps, aren't they? Yeah. And they're kind of, they're kind of ghostly, these two ladies. They're a little ghostly, but they have these weird looks that they give each other. Kennerly and Jenner. Okay. I think I found it. Jenner, Kennerley and Camille. Camille and Kennerley. Camille and Kennerley. Okay. And they play like this. Oh, they do covers and stuff.

Yeah, they do a lot of covers. Oh, they walk around with them. Weird. They walk around, but watch their faces. Like, they look, they look gays longingly at each other while they play. They have a lot of the gaze longingly. Hold on. Oh, yeah.

And they're twins. Well, they have vocals? Yeah. They got some sing-ins and the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, Harping? All right. Yeah. So those are like handheld harps that you can walk around with as opposed to... Even then they look too big. They look too big. They just look monster. It looks stupid.

All right. Here's your next one. Number 14, Brian. Here you go. Okay. That feels like an acoustic guitar. Let's find out if Brian is correct. Is that an acoustic guitar? It is. Well done. Well, it says guitar, but same thing. That one counts. Yeah.

It's not an electric guitar. I can tell you that. We're not getting picky about that. All right, here's 15. Okay. It's a musical instrument and a shape. Yeah. It's triangle.

You're right. It's a triangle. Congratulations. I have not been keeping score, by the way. Ed Grimley is the instrument that Ed Grimley plays. You must say. You must say. You must say.

It's a very good instrument. I must say. I made my daughter watch that for the first time and they all looked at me like I was crazy. it's the best thing it's it's funny how you know martin short has done so much since but man ed grimly might be my favorite thing that martin short's ever done and i and there are a lot of things that i love that he's done yeah he's great in so many ways but i agree with you i think i love egg grimly can't take that away from me all right uh number 15 16 rather here we go oh shit too easy those would be the the pipes of bag you are correct uh pipes of bag is correct um all right that was

gosh dang it that was easy one all right number 17 hopefully is a little less ridiculous here all right that was still okay 17 here we go oh That might be the aforementioned obo, but I'm not, I'm not locking that in just yet. It's a little lower, right? A bassoon is lower. I think that is an oboe. Let's find out. Is it an oboe?

It is a clarinet, is a clarinet. Claire Gaconet. The Claire Giacanet, yes. The clare gaconet, yes. The oboe is, yeah. It's hard. That's a hard one. That is a hard one.

All right. I told you I would guess obo. Yeah, you did good. Yeah, maybe the obo still come up. All right, next up we got a, well, this might be the last one. Is there only 17? Hold on. Okay.

Oh, 18. Oh, geez. Hey, Brian. That's a snare drum right there. You think that might be a drum? Hmm, let's see. Yeah, I'll say that's a snare, yeah. Yeah, it's a snare, it turns out.

It's supposed to a Tom, Tom, Tom, or a bass. All right, how about this one? Or a high hat or a crash. Oh. Oh. That's a harmonica. Yeah, harmonica, never harm Monica. Never harm Monica.

Or else we want to get you into Among Us. All right. Now, that one gives you a ding. Now, this, whoops, that already started to play? Here we go back. Here we go. Is gong simply what you're looking for with that one? Well, that's a good question.

Let's see. Is it gong? Yeah, it's a gong. Yeah, real hard. It felt upright to me, as opposed to parallel to the ground like a symbol. Well, that was huge. That was your 20th. You did well.

Well, thank you. I don't know how many you got wrong there. Did anyone in the chat keep score or anything? At least four, maybe five wrong. Okay. I think that's better than I would have done. Yeah, clarinet. kicked myself for clarinet and just plain old harp.

What I should have said is harp and then waited for you to go, more harpsichord or auto harp. exactly so I am by my accounting I think you did I think you did quite well so good it's a good job that's fun all right now that we've done that we it's I'm being told by the newsroom that we've neglected them they feel like yesterday we avoided news altogether so now today we have to do it so I guess we'll do this this is the info we've been waiting for great it's the news and it's brought to you by Brought to you by a friend of the show, Kara of Paul. Oh, thank you, Paul. Thanks, Paul.

You're great. You're a friend and a guy and a show of a guy. Indeed. A friend and a guy. All right, check this out. A woman was arrested, speaking of the opposite of a guy. A woman was arrested after being found naked in the backseat of a Jeep at Florida's car dealership. Oh, really?

Well, in Florida, you say. Yeah. Weird. I know. We never get news from Florida. It seems like to sit quite there. It should just be Florida woman arrested after being found naked and backseat of Jeep at dealership. Yep. Begin it with, come on, begin it with Florida woman. Let's call a spade a spade. Yeah, let's do it. It says a customer at a Toyota dealership in Pensacola Boulevard in Pensacola, Florida reported to a sales associate that a woman identified as 37-year-old Alexis King was in the back of a Jeep without any clothes on at a sales lot, according to the arrest report.

It sounds like Mr. Wolf is describing this. You've got a woman in the back and the naked without any clothes, the back of the Jeep. Yeah, it kind of does. I love it, though. Imagine you're working and somebody walked up to you and you're in a managerial position and they say, excuse me, Mr. Ribbitt, but we think we have a naked lady in the back of a car. Is it a wrangler? Yeah, is it a wrangler?

Oh, interesting. Oh, wow. It gets better, by the way. Oh, it definitely gets better. So it says this. The manager at the dealership told police he approached the Jeep and found King naked with her legs spread wide open. With legs, one open. That's one potential joke I do. The other one is naked with her legs spread open.

When the walls fell. That Tanagra. There you go. I heard, oh, my favorite new thing. I should mention this because you brought it up. That Tanagra stuff is my favorite new meta meme because it's always been meamy, right? People repeat it and everyone knows what it is. But my favorite new thing is you'll see one where it's just that dude that Paul, whatever's name was, the actor playing the alien.

Just a picture of him. But then the words are always describing other popular memes, but the way he would do it. Oh, that's great. So it would be like Leonardo DiCaprio with his glass raised. With his champagne raised. Yeah. Okay. Got it.

But it's all in that language and it's every popular meme you can think of. But him doing it. It's my favorite thing. I love it. That is the best. No, I haven't seen any of those. I love it. I love it so much.

That's how I want all my memes delivered to me now. I guess you have to have both because you got to have the popular meme first. And then you got to have this guy doing his thing. But it's great. Right. Because you have to be able to recognize it. But you don't get, do you get both pictures or do you just get? Him describing it.

You just get the one. That's the best. I know. That's the best. I know. Then if you're in the no, you get it. If you're not, then you're lame. You know, it's got all those aspects to it.

It's great. Memes. What are you going to do without him? All right. Oh, I love it. By the way, is there a picture of this woman fully clothed for her mugshot? I don't know. I didn't actually look.

Let's see. Oh, yeah. There she is. Oh. Oh, she looks sad. That's because the meth is wearing off. Yeah, I guess so. It says, this is, this gets worse even after what I just wrote.

Oh, really? So I said that after the report. A receptionist who was with him said she saw King pulling at her vagina. Oh. Pulling at it. Pulling. You're not supposed to pull at it. I don't know how those things work, but.

No, you guys in your magical equipment, we don't know how it works. Do you pull at it? The manager told King to get dressed and exit the vehicle. Get dressed and exit the vehicle, she said. And after which she was seen leaving the dealership, the report said. Another employee called law enforcement about a coworker who told him, quote, homeless woman was pleasuring herself inside one of the vehicles. That must be the same person.

Yeah. Right? Yeah. Okay. Anyway, maybe don't do that. You stopped a little too soon in this article, by the way. I mean, all that was great. Uh-oh.

What did I miss? I'm nervous. Can you link to that? the article and so under her picture under the Twitter the Daily Star tweet with her photo uh

jump to the second paragraph gosh dang it do we dare say it all right I'm saying it all right she says she was arrested charged with and this is Yahoo News I'm not getting this off some scrubby thing in the dark corner of the internet she was charged with burglary of an

unoccupied conveyance that's cool criminal mischief unlawful exposure of sexual organs and giving a false name. I wonder what name she used. Petunia Pullintwant.

Send your emails to Brian, not me. I'll take those emails. It's totally. Oh, my gosh. Look at all those show titles right there. Oh, TVZegon was first. It's terrible. It says she's being held.

jail for $7,000 bond. Okay, now here's the part no one wants to hear. The arrest report said there was a red colored stain which appeared to be from vaginal bleeding consistent with the period observed in the back seat. The manager

estimated $1,300 in damage. Really? I mean, I admit, it's all pretty out there, but $1,300? Just get some wet wipes and you're fine. It's not that bad. I don't know.

Do you have to list that on the Carfax going forward now, though? I don't know. Like that car, my dad bought, that somebody got shot in it. Yeah, well, that had a bullet hole. It did have a bullet and a bullet still rattling around in there, which I don't know why the police didn't get it out of the car. I still, there was some gangland shooting. Maybe that was a sign that, I don't know, gangs are, they don't go that far into investigating when they know what happened. But anyway, bullet rattling around.

Let me ask you this. Would you buy that? Without the backseat being re-apholstered? Yeah. Yeah. Because every car... Every car has a red stain in the backseat. I guess what I'm saying is every car's got something gross if it's used, right?

Something gross has happened in there. Like, and it can be anything. So you just clean it up. It's fine. It's just a... No. No. It's fine.

Sorry. Yeah. What if you didn't... But if he never knew, then you'd never know. You'd just go your whole life going out. That backseat's great. There's just some weird red stain in the back seat. I mean, I don't think we're talking about leather seats.

I think if there is a red-colored stain, we're talking cloth seats. Oh, if that happens. Yeah. And especially if it's new, because I think these might be new cars. Yeah. This is going to take more to clean than just a... You know, it's... I don't know what that noise was, and I'm not going to ask.

But here's what I'm going to say. Because a squeegee is what that noise was. But here's what I'm thinking. Now $1,300 sounds right because you'd have to swap... seats out is what you'd do you wouldn't just re-apulster you'd take that whole section out put another one in there that makes sense oh no i don't think you don't think so you don't think so you don't think so if it's a if it's a whole bench i mean what's easier yeah i don't know yeah i mean those jeep seats do come out maybe but that's yeah that's gonna be more than

$1,300 to replace the entire back seat oh would it be see i don't know what that part of it costed me i think so yeah cars man whatever all right well that was a fun story good lord i'm glad we pick that one. All right. Well, I hope you've all finished your breakfast, ladies, gentlemen. Well, here's one about Wieners. If you were afraid we were going to be one-sided. We have to equal time.

Equal time for Wieners. Oscar Meyer has offered NASA a Wiener Mobile to transport moon astronauts. It's not quite the same. It's called Jeff Bezos' spaceship, isn't it? That's the biggest weaner there is. Already the Wiener Mobile. Someday in the hospital, hopefully not too distant future, NASA's next moon-bound astronauts will catch a ride to the life.

launch pad to board their Orion spacecraft atop a massive SLS rocket. Oscar Meyer, the food company known for hot dogs, would like to offer a bold and dignified vehicle to take them there. The Wiener Mobile. You know the one. You've seen it. Oh, I've seen it. The new one's cool.

I put in a contest entry to drive the Wiener Mobile because I thought that would be a blast. Did you, how'd that turn out? I guess you just didn't win, but did they? I just didn't win, yeah. I got a thing back saying, thank you for your entry, and that's it. Okay, got it. Well, look at that thing. Look at that.

I mean, the new one is cool, man. Is there a new one? Yeah. Well, I think that's new. Click on that link and tell me. Oh, yeah. Look at those cool indented, like the window. Yeah, that to me seems more, more, that's different than more high end, although the

bottom's pretty retro, but still pretty cool. Here's the deal. It's not a great bun, by the way. I mean, you're the first bite of that hot. dog that thing's rolling right off that pita bread bun or whatever that's sitting on what if that's a tray of mustard still gross right you don't want that

uh no because that actually if you were to lift that wiener out of that tray mustard that would be the right of amount of mustard that would stick to that weiner to that wiener right how much how much mustard should stick to your wiener is the question I don't know I don't know no idea yeah I don't know so this would be so this would basically be like a replacement

moon rover, right? They would have a WienerMobile? Yeah, except the whole idea is it would only go as far as the launch pad and then they'd get out and get into the thing. So it's just like the ultimate PR move of the WienerMobile transported astronauts. This would just get them to the rocket as opposed to

they'd take this up in space. Oh, hell no. Yeah, they're not driving around on the moon. No. Oh, I'd love to see that. Now I'm really disappointed. Oh, I would love it. This is just getting them that's lame. Can you map on the footage? one small step for man.

Give us a freaking Wiener Moon Rover. Come on. That's a way cooler story for sure. Oh, whoa. What do we use it now? Like golf cart? I mean, what is it, you know? Probably, right?

Some dinky little... And who even looks at that, right? I mean, by the time they start the the live stream of the astronaut stuff, they're already up in the cockpit, getting ready to fly out. Yeah, I'm with you. I don't think this is that cool.

put this on the moon now we're talking yeah then we'll then we'll have a discussion uh they say NASA is actually looking for new astronaut ground transportation uh so put out a call last week for oh we need a new golf cart yeah we need a tiny little thing and uh they chimed in uh some one was an astrovan that's lame ah no is that what happens now oh there is a shiny astrovan that does it yeah astrovan get it so maybe they're used to this except what does weiner mobile have to do a space Yeah, nothing. Nothing. Yeah, it's dumb. NASA is gearing up for its crude Artemis missions with the intention of returning humans to the moon.

The proposal should be unique. Embrace the new technology and visually embody Artemis to the public, says NASA. So wait, I didn't know we were going to, when's that happening? Men on the moon. When are we going back to the moon? Yeah. Let's go. That sounds great.

Yeah. I mean, is there something new? I guess we need to put a base up there so that we can use that to go further, to explore further, right? So it's like you get to the ISS, fill up, go to the moon, have a snack, and then take off from the moon and go to Mars. Yeah. And you talk to Peter Stormair while you're at the ISS. He's hanging out there.

Wave a load of the Krypton criminals on the way out. Yep. Yep. All that's true. Everything you said is true. Yeah. Maybe they could pick up some of those golf balls while they're up there too. Yeah, why not?

How many of you in the audience got my deep Armageddon cut? How many? be honest how many of you It did go by me I'm sorry I did miss it Do you remember that in the movie He was a Peter Stormair up there He was the only one

Oh he was the crazy man in the ISS Yeah exactly There you go Oh we got it says a bunch of the chat Okay Of course says I heard it This doesn't mean he got it How many golf balls are on the moon

Oh I want to know this answer This is a good question to ask the internet All right Without looking Without Googling it yourself How many golf balls do you think are on the moon? It's got to be more than I think, and I think like three or four.

So I'm going to say eight to ten golf balls. It's actually less than you think. There are only two golf balls on the moon. Oh, well, crap. Yeah, Alan Shepard took them both up there. And I thought, you know, I thought that every time somebody went to the moon, they took a golf ball. And like it was a tradition. Yeah.

I would have thought that too. That's why I thought more than that. Yeah. Yeah, just too. What other stuff is up there? We got flags up there. We got some broken down module. Yeah, half a leve or something.

Yeah, and people can do like a, if you do the right telescope, you can see that stuff up there. Right. What else? Hammer and feather. What the hell's that, Captain Kipper? That's a hammer and feather. Hammer and feather.

Probably some poo. There's probably some man poo up there. Some poo bags, do you think? Oh, sure. They just like, well, we're not going to take this back to Earth for this. I mean, why would you eject that stuff, freak it out of there? I don't think you want that left on the moon for the next people. I think you toss it out as you reenter so it burns up.

That's a good point. Now, let me ask you this. If you hit a golf ball hard enough on the moon, could you take it out of the moon's orbit? Is gravity weak enough? Yeah, moon's orbit, I think, is light enough that you could probably. hit one out of or not or out of what are we trying to say out of um it's gravity gravity

gravitational whatever it's gravity so if you but if you hit it I wonder if you could hit one hard enough although in those in those uh non agile astronaut uniforms maybe not like

oh dice tomatoes is doubtful really you think it's like one sixth of earth's gravity it's like uh it's pretty tiny Why couldn't you hit it real hard and have that leave entirely? I feel like it's possible if you hit it hard enough. Yeah, that's the problem, is being able to hit it that hard because would it be, would it slow down your swing? Well, I mean, I know it would be awkward to try and, and swing a golf club in that thing, but it's not like you're underwater.

Right, it should be less resistance, right? Right. There's no air, no resistance. Oh, Bobby Franks, you need a lot of delta V to get something out of orbit. Delta V. Delta V. Is that in monster energy drinks or is that in... I think you can only get that in weed legal states, the delta V.

Some delta V. Yeah, you want delta V? I know where you can get it. I know where you can get it. Escape velocity, it's called, yeah. I don't know. That's interesting. There's probably some whole thing about this somewhere.

Somebody's written this up and the physics are known and I just don't know it. Bobby, you've got until Thursday to come up with an answer. Man, I was so annoyed this morning. You want to hear why I was annoyed? Why were you doing? I was just speaking of science. I did this thing on Twitter where I said, and Kim and I were just having this conversation this morning.

It hit us that my mom with her frontal lobe tumor that was pressing on her brain and going to kill her. Right. And my sister-in-law's stage four colon cancer diagnosis all happened in the same month in 2020. It was like March or April, right at the beginning of the pandemic. And at that time, there were certain people, let's call extended family and people around these two human beings that were trying to tell them, don't go to doctors, take these vitamins or do this life vantage thing or do this other bullshit. Sure. And that'll take care of your... Holistic or acupuncture or whatever.

It was like a bunch of hoo-ho. And neither of them went that direction, thankfully. They were both like, no, I tend to trust science. on these things. And my mom had the tumor removed at the age of 82. It's still dangerous surgery, but it worked. And she's all good now. And she's doing fine. Yeah.

And my sister-in-law last week got to do the ring the bell cancer-free thing. Oh, I love that. Yeah. She did her two different surgery. She had her whole big run, long run of a year and a half of chemo and radiation and all that. She's now cancer-free. So I

had said on Twitter, had they gone the other way, the snake oil route, they would both likely be dead right now. Like, that's how fast moving both conditions were, even though they're not the same conditions. And some guy goes, you don't know that. You don't know that they'd be dead by now? I do know that.

And besides, even if they weren't, it's not the point. The point is, had they gone that route, they would not be recovered slash recovering at all. Exactly. There'd be no ring in the bell. I'm cancer-free last week. And my mom would be in some sort of weird, comatose, freaking mess.

because that tumor was growing rapidly in her head. I'm telling you, that guy is so freaking wrong on a million other levels. And also, strangers on the Internet, when they pipe up and go, no, she wouldn't. That's like me saying, you can't prove it. He could never prove such a thing. So that's why he says it. And then if it did happen his way, then he's right. But if it doesn't happen his way, oh, well, he moves on.

He's just a stranger in the night. Freaking, ah, I was so annoyed with this guy. Yeah. Yeah. And his name... That's why social media... Unless it's used for good. It's evil.

And his name, his name was propaganda sniper. Oh, really? Oh, look, look at that. Does he have a... Is his avatar, him in his car with sunglasses on? Actually, no, it was a skull with a cigarette. Oh, okay. I mean, he's obviously hardcore troll.

He's been blocked. We're all moving on. But the point is, like, just go... I'm at a point in my life right now. I'm, I'm, I've hit this point. Last week I talked about making friends with people that are mad at you. That's still a good thing to do. Go for it.

But if you know there's no in road, remove them from your life. Completely. Just excise them. Exize them like the tumor. Like the tumor. Take the tumor out. Put a big stitch on your head and look like Frankenstein for three days. Do that.

Yes. Yeah, I'm giving a maritime. You're right, Jeff. Carter liked my statement. Unless it's used for good, it's evil. Yeah. I like that. He's like, yeah, no, super hot take, right?

It's a hot take. Unless it's used for good, it's evil. If it's not white, it's either black or gray. Well, it could be, you could be, you know, what's lawful neutral or whatever? It could be. That's true, yes. Right. I mean, D&D solved all our problems.

We just don't know it. Right. The chaotic neutral. Sure, fine. All right. Let's move on to this story here. Grandastic is the start of the headline All right, okay

Kind of hate it Anyway, Tarno 78 year old woman named Tarno It's her last name, I guess Prove she's the fastest granny in the world After running up Tattress Am I saying that right? Tatris

Is that a mountain? Yeah, it's in, let's see where is it? Where is it? Wow, we get, we've like, I'm too, Dang it, it's hard to. Oh, Poland, looks like. Poland, okay. It's some famous

or two paragraphs in and I don't know any of these words that they're using. It's all pretty janky. All right, so she's 78 years old. She confirmed her place as the fastest grandma on the world running 7.8 kilometers from the town of

Zacopane to the top of Tatra's Kaspari Wirtch in two hours. Sure. Okay, I'm sure that was right. Sprightly Barbara Pimorowski from Tarno outshone other prisoners. Sorry, pensioners. They're not prisoners. Pensioners. It looked like prisoners at first. Sorry, in the over-60s category of the race after running up the peak, 1,986 meters above the sea in a staggering one hour and 45 minutes.

She's a retired sports teacher, and she was on top of the world. Anyway, pretty good. An old lady running up a thing. Look at this heartfelt story. Good for her. So the Western Tatras are a ski area. It's one of Poland's main winter ski areas. Oh, okay.

And Kaspraweirch is a peak of lung crest in that mountain range. Okay. So good for her. Yeah, and we've learned a little something on the way. We have. I'm proud of us. Now when I get asked about the Western Tatras, that I can say, oh, sure, that's

Poland's ski area. Yeah, why not? Yeah. All right, now a warning to the wise. Final story. There's a guy here who has a kilogram of nails, screws, and knives removed

from his stomach. Okay. He's Lithuanian, hence the kilograms. Sure. Just kidding. He had more than a kilogram of nail screws, nuts, and knives removed from his stomach by doctors according to the local reports. He had been swallowing metal objects for a month after quitting alcohol.

So he's like moved on from alcohol, moved on from whiskey to nuts. Let's see. You got to have nuts with your whiskey. That's true. That's what I always say. If you're going to have whiskey, have your nuts. Was he trying to get out of the army? Was he going for a section 8?

I don't know what he's doing. So some of the objects retrieved during the surgery at the university hospital there were a 10 centimeter about four inches long, or some of these items are four inches long, according to the, Lithuania LRT public broadcaster. Surgeon Saranis Dalla Nacarakatas, I don't know their name, called it a unique case. In the article, they published a surgical tray full of metal objects after the three-hour operation. The man was brought by an ambulance after severe abdominal pain.

Well, yeah. Yeah, that would do it. I was really hoping they put a photo in the article, but that's just a file photo of nuts and bolts. See the kiddie images. But I think I did. Okay, here we go. Oh, that's far worse. Here's a link.

Okay, put it in the thing. Right there in the thing. No, I'm scared. What are we going to get here? I'm scared. Oh, geez. Yeah. So it's a kidney, like one of those kidney-shaped bedpans filled with nails.

Like nails and screws. Some of these nails are like, I don't know, three and a half inches long, maybe four inches long. Yeah, the one they said was four inches is right there. I can see it. Oh, they did say, well, it was four inches. There you go. Horrendous. That's horrendous.

Yeah. All right. Yeah. Okay. Well, I bet you feel better now, dude. Yeah, best of luck to you. And you're, boy, they keep repeating this photo. If you scroll down the article, they show that photo like four times.

They really want you to know how bad this is. All right. Well, never, never do that. And he'll probably survive, which is crazy. I don't know how you live through that, but Identity 4. Identity 4 in the chat room says, this show is gross. The show is gross, man.

This episode is very gross, yes. I know. All that talk about the WienerMobile? My God. I know. It just never ends. Try to forget this story about the seat stain. I'm trying.

I'm trying. Yes, please. All right. We're going to take a break. And when we come back, Justin will be here. Jury. I'm going to say Jury Rotten Young. It's Justin Robert Young.

Oh, my God. I know, that's wrong. Jerry Rotten Young. Jerry Rotten Young will be here. We're going to find out what's happening. I guess there was a big congressional blowout again yesterday. He's going to help us understand it, which will be good. So stick around for that.

That's coming up after this break with a song that Brian has brought. What do you got? Yeah, sit in the back seat of your car and pull on this song for a little while. This is from a UK folk punk group called Skinny Lister. They've got a brand new album called A Matter of Life and Love, which comes out Friday, October 22nd. and this is the title track. Listen, if you don't hear bands like madness or the specials in this, they have to be huge influences to these guys that I don't know what you're listening to.

This is the title track. Here it is, A Matter of Life and Love by the band Skinny Lister. We march on through life planning the great escape No resting from the fight Four weeks paid holiday The future is here I recognize his face

It's time to make a deal And join the human race A matter of life, a matter of love, a matter of making the most of that stuff, and all the things that seem so trivial, in the end, they need it all to us. Matters give, a matter of take, a matter of making them all the stuff are mistakes, and all the words that seem so throw away, they say it all in the matters of life and love. In friends and family Don't overanaly

Taking the scenery When working won't work Our dreams will take us there They promise all the world Next year we're millionists A matter of life, a matter of love A matter of making the monster of all that stuff stuff and all the things that seem so trivial

in the end they mean it all to us a matter of give a matter of take a matter of making the most of our mistakes and all the words that things don't throw away they say it's all in the matters of life and love My old friends, Simon's breathing down my neck again with questions I can comprehend. A matter of life, a matter of love, a matter of making the most of all that stuff, and all the things that seem so trivial, in the end, they mean it all to us.

A matter of give a matter of take A matter of making the most of our mistakes And all the words that seems so far away It's fair to all And the matters of life and love Matter of life, matter of love Matter of life, matter of love Matter of love

Matter of life, matter of love, matter of life It's a matter of life and love I've said it's a matter of love. I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Beyonce shouldn't be with Jay-Z. She needs to be with a man like Bob Newhart. I am handsome, you goose. The morning stream is battle-tested bayonets, bro.

When's the last time anybody checked in on Charlie Sheen? I think he's all right? Yeah, we probably should peek in on him in his tiger blood. Yeah, just to see. He's a wizard. Duh. Just to see. Because it's been since, like, 2011 that he wouldn't have talked about him. Maybe we're okay.

Like, maybe, because at the time, weren't we wishing that we were hearing less about Charlie Sheen? Yeah, that's a good point. It was around the time that we started doing this show, though. We got our wish, is what you're saying, and now we shouldn't wish for it to be back? I think so. Yeah. All right. Okay. Charlie Sheen. I mean, let's look and see. I'm trying to see there any news about him.

The most recent news is that he's not, he's no longer going to pay Denise Richards child support. Oh, okay. Because their daughter, I guess, is, oh, daughter moved in with him. Oh, she's with him now. Yeah, Sammy moved in with him. I'd like to warn her about what's going on there. I know, exactly. Holy Moses. Oh, there's their daughter. She's level. she's cute she is yeah don't look the drugs are you looking at the picture where she looks like she's

about to sneeze or she's looking at a picture of a baby panda on her phone like she's going oh yeah it's a picture of a baby panda she's looking at i'm guessing here chat you can see it there it is that's the three of them there you got charlie you got uh you got the uh full metal or no what's the movie she was in no can't remember that's uh starship troopers Starship troopers there. And then you got daughter who's going, oh, yeah, making model face. Anyway, so there you go.

So the news, Charlie Sheen's daughter moves in with him. Great. Glad we're covering it. Someone needs to, damn it. Someone needs to talk about it. All right. Just in time. Not just in time.

By the way, that band was Skinny Lister. The song is called A Matter of Life and Love, which is what Charlie and Denise are dealing with right now. Yeah, I guess so. I don't know the last time There's any love there But, you know, we'll take what we can get All right, Justin entering the fray

How do we know? Because this is playing. These are their stories. Oh, I'm terrible with names. Welcome with me, if you will. Mr. Justin Robert Young from his studios in Austin, Texas. Justin, welcome to the show. Oh, it's a pleasure to be here, boys.

Is it? Is it? I mean, it is. I like so, yeah. You like coming on Tuesdays? You like coming here? being here, hanging out and all that? You know, I wouldn't trade it for the world. Oh, that's adorable.

Hey, I watched some of that, just to bring us all the current here. I watched three episodes of that, Why the Last Man there. Yep. After you were ahead of me. And I have to say, I quite like a lot of it. In fact, most of it. And I don't think it's very adherent to the comic at all. Like you had said, it's not at all, really.

But some of the core concepts are still there, of course. And I like what they're exploring. and it's kind of interesting. There are some characters, though, I hate so bad that I want to throw my TV at them and I can't stand them. I don't know if I'm supposed to hate the former president's daughter or not,

but man, I can't take her for much more than five minutes. What's odd is that for her, she in the comic just kind of goes away and then reappears a very changed person in our new world. Right. I think that that's a very good device to use because she doesn't start in a particularly great place, nor does she end in a particularly great place, but she's more interesting at the time that you see her on the other end of it.

So it's like if the question is what I like to watch that transition happen, the answer is no. No. Yeah. I agree. I agree. Somebody thinks this is a good idea for her character development. and I don't know if I agree. She's really annoying. But I really... I think that the showrunners are very excited that they can pad out episodes so they can... I mean, you're probably not wrong,

but I get... I'm suckered in by this apocalyptic ideas and this concept. And, you know, I like where... I just like where it's going. I like the vibe of it. And I'm going to stick with it. What do you think of the main guy?

I think that here's the funny thing. more than, more than anything else in the show, I feel like he kind of is adherent to the, to the Eurek of the comic. And not perfectly, and it's not 100%, but. I actually agree with you. Oh, you do. And he is very much like the Eurek of the comic.

Yeah. Which is a problem when you have to do it, tell him. Wait, is he called Eurek like Robert Eurek or Yorick? Yorick, like, uh, laugh or Yorick. Yeah, like the laughing clown and, uh, whatever that. play was um yeah you're right you're right it's that and the monkey are just like they are in the comic and as a result yes both in the comic and on the television show the monkeys illustrated the monkey by the way i looked that up he's not a cgi all the time a lot of times he's just a monkey

they use by a guy in a suit he's not always a he's not always cg monkey it just it just Maybe he was in the pilot a few times or I'm just like, I don't trust this monkey. Well, I don't trust him anyway, because those monkeys are untrustworthy. But the point is, like, that relationship in the way they portray those two is very much like the comic. In the comic, it's a conceit you can make easily about him traveling everywhere with this damn carry on with the monkey in it. And in the show, it just feels a little out there, like, because they're trying to be grounded with everything else in a way that the comic isn't or the comic can not, you know, the comic can kind of get away with where TV can't. I don't know. It's a weird combo, but I'm just sort of into it.

Now that you talk about it, there's an element of the comic of like a lot of the zaniness is sort of written off to the fact that there was such a sudden trauma. Yeah. And there's only a few characters that really, really seem like they have their S together. Right? And 35's one of them. The president's another one. although she's very much feeling the weight of it

and everybody else is kind of out there right like things are kind of going crazy and that's partly why the York stuff is what it is yeah I don't know it's through whatever episode that I last watch my review of the show remains the first letter of the title

I get you I really like that Ashley Roman's girl is He's so boring. Why is the world just not showing off how dynamic and exciting that apocalyptic world is in the source material? Why is everybody either as dumb as they need to be or smarter than they should be depending on whether or not the plot needs to wrap up in the next 10 minutes? Like how many times do we need to see somebody walk down the wrong hallway to set up a conflict? Because that to me is, and again, it's like the show that I would compare it to the most is Walking Dead. And so if you've had the patience to watch Walking Dead well into its run, then you clearly have the patience to watch somebody make a totally nonsensical, dumb decision so it can set up a plot for the next day. Yeah, it's pulpy in that way. And by that, I just mean kind of cheap and trope and, you know, those things are definitely there.

but it's to me it's it's handled well enough that it's a cut above things like i don't know other tropey things like lucifer or half the cw stuff like it's it's a cut above those things it certainly shot a lot better it the cinematography's great um some of the actors are clearly trying to sort of punch above their weight i think that the 355 character is she's awesome i like her a lot It's good, you know, I think if anything, the, the challenge with writing a character like her is we are kind of well into a world of television, badass women. Yeah. In a way that when that character was written back in the early odds, this was when, you know, a Starbuck on the, on the Battlestar reboot was like a crazy awesome. character right was this this awesome thing and so it's like if you look at that character from

where she was written in in the contemporary stuff that was happening around in pop culture uh she's great but now i feel like they kind of need to add and by that i mean like bringing in some of her later backstory kind of earlier to kind of make her more interesting so she's not just this kind of stern faced like i'm getting stuff done lady so you have something to do with her when she's not just being a badass whereas I think if this show were to have been made closer to when the source material came out

I think they would just let her be a badass and let the audience fall in love with her for doing that and then kind of bring in these other things as opposed to making her showing her vulnerability earlier if that makes sense. Yeah that makes sense. No, I feel you. I'm not going to call this

like Oscar worthy content or anything but it's it's ticking all my boxes at the moment. I just notice that Missy Pyle is in this and I don't know who she's playing and now I'm freaking out because I love Missy Pyle. And I don't know who she is. She's in all the episodes and I don't have any idea who Missy Pyle's playing. Where's

where's she from Missy Pry? Billy Wonka and the chocolate factory is the thing I always think of. She was the mom of the what do you call it? What's the one we always talk about? The Spouterspace. We're so glad you're. Oh, right. Galaxy Quest. Yeah. She was one of the aliens. Yeah.

That's what I always think of it. The head female alien. And also what's the other one? Brian mentioned chocolate factory. What's the one where they throw wrenches at each other? Dodgeball. Dodge ball? Yeah. What's the one where they throw wrenches at each other? Dodge wrench? Dodge wrench. The game we played when we were kids, they don't let you do that anymore. Anyway.

Speaking of throwing wrenches at each other, let's talk about Congress. Good, good transition. That's fantastic. Great segue. So apparently something happened yesterday. I was so busy noticing that Facebook was down. I didn't really hear about all this, but there was a big dust up or something. What's going on? Well, this kind of flows into what we talked about last week. There was a Congress apocalyptic happening last week. Three major things. The Democrats were fighting with each other

about a series of bills that will effectively create the bulk of Biden's legislation throughout his first term. There was a looming government shutdown and then there was the raising of the debt ceiling. Well, the Democrats got one out of the three done. They definitely avoided a shutdown for another two months. They effectively punted, they stalemated themselves, which is just a great description of so far how this leadership has gone between the Democrats running the House, the Senate, and the White House. They succeeded in making sure that they themselves didn't get anything done and then rejoiced about it on, you know, through the media. We can get to that a little bit later as it gets more

closer to anything happening. But the big thing that happened yesterday is that the White House got involved in the raising of the debt ceiling, which is effectively the guaranteeing that the United States has full faith and credit wherein we're able

to borrow money to pay our bills. If we were to default on that, then we would be effectively sending a signal to the rest of to the world, that yes, indeed, our political infighting will do things like get in the way of the money. And that's a world in which we don't exactly know what's on the side of that, the other side of that door, but pretty much everybody can guess that it's not great. A bunch of lollipops and candy doesn't fall out. It is quite possibly at its worst, the beginning of the end of

American dominance worldwide. Right. So, but I still... still don't understand why it's seen as such a huge deal that they're trying to like raising that why is why is it controversial because they're all they all do it every administration every party of every administration raises the debt ceiling some more than others Bush did it a ton Obama did it a crap ton Clinton Bush senior Reagan did a crap ton Reagan's got the most my question and let's see Trump did it twice why is it a big deal like if we all do it money means nothing it sounds like so just go ahead and do it what's why what's the why is it why is this a football I got a isn't particularly the money in terms of the national debt

the point that the republicans are trying to make is that the democrats are using reconciliation too much for too many things and so what they are saying is well if you love reconciliation so much why don't you marry it why don't you raise the debt ceiling like that and therefore We are not going to vote to raise it the way that you would normally vote to raise it. The Democrats have said, that's stupid. We think you're being stupid heads. Eventually, you'll stop being stupid heads because we're talking about possibly ending, you know, the American financial dominance around the world. You'll eventually blink.

And the Republicans say back to that, hey, you guys run all three effective branches of our government, the House, the Senate and the White House. So you guys have a good time explaining to the American public if this happens on your watch.

Yeah. Well, and the other problem is most of the American public is like and they don't understand any of this. So they hear things like we are we're not going to raise the debt ceiling and they go, yeah, we're not going to do that again. Yeah. But they don't understand.

it. They don't know what the history of it or any of that shit. And it just gives me a giant headache. Biden weighed in yesterday and said that a meteor was coming to crash into our economy. Yeah. We need Bruce Willis to step out. His fairly strident language, he was then asked whether or not he could

guarantee that the debt ceiling would be raised. And he said, no. So puzzling messaging from my point of view, I get it from the point of you that we that that that he wants to follow the the the playbook that chuck schumer has been following which is blame Mitch McConnell but I'm kind of with you I don't know if the

American people really understand this issue and I don't know if the president saying that the economy's about to be destroyed on my watch and I'm not in control of it is is a particularly wise strategy well he's obviously trying to throw it on them they're trying to throw it on him and sure but he's the president and his party controls both houses of Congress. Good point. It's a good point. Like I heard it was McConnell the other day. He goes,

we will hire. He was talking about something where it sounds like, that sounds like the guy we know. That's very good. It is a very good impersonation I do. But he was talking, I can't remember what it was. It was one of those deals where they put up video from 2016 or 2018 when

the ceiling had to be raised. And then they showed video of him like three days ago saying, we're not going to do it. And back then he was like, we'd never let it default. He did that whole thing. And then later he does the other thing. And I've learned something, Jerry.

I want to tell you what I've learned. Yeah. As we wind down here. Politicians or hypocrites? Well, it's as as as as as it sounds, I think I'm finally maybe grappling with this concept that they are all hypocrites. That now that I think about it, I really think about it, as long as I've been alive or old enough or mature enough to understand people,

conversations, and words, whoever gets in, everybody always hates them and there's division the entire time, and they might get reelected, but it's, you know, it's not usually not a blowout or whatever. Sometimes it is, it doesn't matter. The point is, it's always just, okay, election, and then election, I, and this E, E, E, E, E, E, E, and this E, E, E, E, part never leaves. It never goes away. Now, I may also come to the realization one day that that e-e-e-e-e is good for us, and it's the battle, not the war, that that matters, that that's part of the process. And if you didn't have that constant fight, then what do you, then it actually doesn't work

because then you just give up and one side does whatever or another side does whatever, but that we need that. Maybe that's true, but I'm at the stage right now where I'm like, it sucks. It just sucks. It's just constant. and nobody really, really ever, ever works together, ever, even in the ones where there's big dominance and popularity like Reagan or others, they weren't real, there were still like just gigantic gaps.

So maybe the gap is the point. There's always demonization. Sometimes there is more cooperation than others. And let's remember that there was not too long ago that we got a big bipartisan infrastructure passed through the Senate. It hasn't been passed in the House, assuming at some point it will, but that is a representation that there is some kind of bipartisan thing

and that was something that both Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer did vote for. So I think that is something to keep an eye on if you want to kind of fall into despair. Just the thing that I want to point out from the chat, this is just something that heads up so you don't look silly in any kind of online political argument. This is one of those things where like when people say like,

oh, well, like gerrymandering is going to fix the races in the Senate. Jerry Manning doesn't happen in the Senate because those are statewide races. So similarly in this situation, if you are upset with Kirsten Cinema and Joe Manchin, that issue is this reconciliation bill about human infrastructure and hard infrastructure. That's a separate issue right now. It is only really tied to this debt ceiling thing because Mitch McConnell wants to make the point, wait a minute, if using reconciliation is the only thing that can happen for this particular gigantic social spending bill, why is it not also good for raising the debt ceiling?

Like, he wants to hammer that home and eventually he wants the Democrats to blink. The problem is that there was a report yesterday that said that if reconciliation was going to be used on the debt ceiling, which does take a little bit of a process, it by the time that the Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says it needs to be raised which is the 18th of this month, they would have had to start yesterday and they didn't.

So we'll see. We'll see. Maybe the fall of Rome. Maybe. Find out next week. Find out next week right here on jury duty. Tell people where you're at this week and what they should be looking for. If you want a lot more
