And this is still the Return of the Rat tour. I think we're gonna end this tour at some point this year,

but that's the one it is for now. Thank you. Good day, sir. I said good day. It's been a week. It's been a week. What's been happening? Oh this I am a good day first of all, let me say that to you and this is the day that we have been given and Yeah, and I'm happy to be here and alive with you today on planet Earth at this time in existence.

And here we are. Um, what is going on? I'll tell, oh, this I fricking, um, I'm in Los Angeles, right. And I forgot that I have a Jeep Cherokee out here and, um, it's probably maybe six, seven years old or something. And it's probably maybe six, seven years old or something. And I forgot that I wasn't driving my car at home, right? In Nashville. So the other day I thought my car got stolen. So I called the police or whatever,

yes, the authorities. They come, the guy, we're standing, I'm like telling him, describing my car, which is a cyber truck, and I know that's alarming, and it makes a lot of people sad, and that's okay. But I'm describing, and it is, it's very, it's like driving like a molar filling for the Statue of Liberty, you just feel like you're driving like a molar filling for the Statue of Liberty.

You just feel like you're driving this huge molar filling for some gigantic thing. But anyway, besides all that, I call the police. I'm telling the guy, took a while, waited probably 40 minutes. I'm telling the officer, explaining the vehicle and stuff, and I reach in my pants. I have car keys, right?

I have car keys. And the guy, and I said, well, these are the keys to it. And I gave them to him. And he presses the button and the fucking... Dude, the car was like fucking five cars away. I thought that I was driving my Cybertruck, I just forgot. I thought I was driving my truck and I just, I forgot, because I just hadn't been in Los Angeles

in so long and I just forgot that I was driving this Jeep. So the Jeep, like I'm a multi-car owner. But anyway, absolutely embarrassing and just ridiculous. And just, you know, I was like, I was to describe the vehicle to him, you know. Suffice, turn that off. And describe the vehicle.

And first of all, when you're describing a cyber truck, you're like, yeah, it looks like a, you fucking can't, it's a fucking, you know? It looks like a UFO that couldn't make it, you know? That's kind of what, you know, it's just very, it's like, you know, it looks like a, like you're driving a sand wedge or something. So just that alone is bizarre.

And then I was like, yeah, I don't know what happened. I ran inside of here for a little bit and I came out and it was gone. So I'm telling that and then I have the keys and then I think that's where my glitch was. I was like, yeah, and I guess I still have the keys and I give them to him, he fucking presses the thing, the keys to my Jeep and bam, it's fucking right there.

the uh my jeep and bam it's fucking right there so anyway whatever that's where i'm at um what else let's get into it man i just got back from the inauguration in the usa and i was uh let's play some let's play let's lead into it with a little instrumental. U. USA. IA inauguration. Very beautiful. That's Canon in D major right there. If you're into that sort of thing. Yeah, I was just, I took a red eye flight

and so I got in probably 6.30 in the morning, had to get dressed in the car and took this suit that I have on, got dressed in the car, went to, got dropped off at a hotel, right? And you couldn't go within like five blocks of the hotel. You couldn't drive up to it. So it got dropped off. So when it's walking and it's cold, you know, when you're like, you know,

you're hurrying because we had to get there by a certain time, by 8 a.m. to make sure that I could be like legit or whatever. So I'm changing in this thing and I didn't know the man, the man, the driver of the car that picked me up, he was from a United Nations area or whatever. You know what I'm saying? This guy was a, we probably got him in a area or whatever. You know what I'm saying? This guy was a... He... We probably got him in a trade or something. I don't know how we got him.

But he didn't speak a lot of English and that's okay. And I didn't speak a lot of his language. So we just were, you know, we were different. We were verbally kind of different people. And so anyway, I'm like, and I've never, you know, I'd have to change in this car. And so it's just like, yeah, it's weird. First of all, I had to change down to complete nudity, you know, down to just, you know, just down to the Lord's matte finish. You know what I'm talking about, baby? That first layer. And so it was just a lot, you know? So anyway, that happened. And so anyway, we get, like you can only get within five blocks of this hotel

to where I had to go check in by 8 a.m. And it was called Hotel Wilfred, Hotel Wilfred, wrote it down. And it was fancy. I mean, you go in and there's like a, there's like a, like somebody has a trumpet or whatever. They're not even playing it, but they're holding it or whatever. Like a guy standing by the door

and there's some guy whose job he stands outside. His only job is to just be cold. He just looks, he's like, you know, it's like a nice place. It's like a place you would see on Home Alone where he goes, where Kevin goes. And, but yeah, there's a guy out front, his job is just to get cold for the rich people inside so they don't have to do that, right?

So he's just outside just being fucking freezing. That guy was out there, dude. And so I go inside and there's nice carpet and everything. And this wasn't where I was staying. This place was probably, I don't even know how much it was, but it was a lot. But anyway, everything had carpet. The walls had carpet, the ceiling had carpet.

Everything had kind of flooring or whatever, everything. And, but very fancy, like pictures of, like, like, somebody rich eating something, you know? Like, oh, sirloin or whatever. So anyway, all that shit. So go in there and ask to use the restroom. They had a guy, like the place was nice. They had a guy who was just looking at you,

who looked like, do we let this dude use our toilets? Type of dude. You know, like kind of like a shit bouncer or whatever they call it. You know, just a dude. And he looked at me and I could tell he was like visually on the fence, right? But then I kind of gave him like a,

I can handle it type of thing. And then I went into the bathroom, I'm in there changing or whatever. I'm in there getting my toothbrush, get toothbrush and put some lotion on my arms and legs. Because, yeah, because I didn't want to, you know, it was winter time and I get pretty chapped out. So anyway, I go and I meet our group in the lobby and I meet up. There's a guy named Alex Brushewitz and he was the guy who got us in to be able to go. And he was a guy also who,

his last name, I think, Brushewitz, I don't know, it's letters that don't even fucking know each other, right? It's like, you could tell some of the letters if you write it out, you're like, oh, these bitches, they never even, these letters don't know each other, you know? And if you look on the faces of some of the letters, if you had them lined up, you see some of the letters like,

I don't know this guy, you know, pointed the letter next to him or whatever. Yeah, Brukshuritz, something like that. Anyway, I get there. This is the people that is in the group, okay? It is, it is is in the group. Okay, it is It is Kyle from NELT boys, right John Shahidi from shots and happy dad

Jake Paul's Logan Paul's Who else let me think Jake Paul's Logan Paul's Pam Paul's Pam Paul's Pam Logan Paul's. Let me see. Logan Paul's mom is called Pam. And then Connor McGregor and Evander Holyfield and Danica Patrick, right? The race car. You know, she was like, at first they had like Princess and Mario Kart, and then right after that they had Danica Patrick. So, you know, one of only two female racers ever. So anyway, that is our group. That's our group, right?

And like, I don't even know, let me see, I'd never, I'd met Evander's one time. Okay, so I'd met Evander's, I'll tell you this story, I met Evander's. So Evander's is, So I met Evander, I'll tell you this story, I met Evander. So Evander is, he, one time I'm at an airport, I think it's Chicago, and they had a McDaniels right there,

and they had it all, you know what I'm talking about? They got it all, baby. They got the McDouble, the Whopper, the Nuggets, the McNuggets, everything, you know. Dig out it all to McFlurry, you know. The ice cream machines down. Turn it on, Jack. That bitch ain't broken. Anyway, so one time I'm at the Chicago airport. I see Evander's Holyfield sitting right there. He was at a table by himself. He had himself. He got himself a medium fry. Okay? And I'm the kind of guy that who I guess I'm the kind of guy who if I'm walking by and I see Evander's Holyfield eating a medium fry, I'm going to stop and watch

him. And you don't know you're that type of guy until you're that type of guy. So I'm gonna stop and watch him. And you don't know you're that type of guy until you're that type of guy. So I'm walking by, I see the fry, I see the Holy Field, bam, brother, you know what I'm saying? It's the fucking thriller for Vanilla McFlurry, you know what I'm saying? Like I just had to watch this. So Evander's just sitting there,

he's putting fries into his mouth, and he'd been, over the years, he's accumulated a lot of punches to his face, right? And that's historical facts. So some of the fries, he wasn't even opening his mouth, right, he was just pushing them through. Just pushing them through the, you know, that pantomouth canal, maybe that, you know,

through his face, through his mouth, just putting them in. And there was a girl who had been working at the Cinnabon down about maybe 70 yards, okay They had a Cinnabon about 70 yards down the terminal and I saw her run up I saw her run up and she stopped right in front of a Vanders and he's out. He's there he's in though, you know, he's halfway through the fourth round of a fucking medium fry and this girl runs right up dude and you could tell she was uh she'd left the counter unattended I'm not trying to rat anybody out but this was a young sister and she'd

left the counter unattended Chicago Airport probably nine years ago, right? Probably 7 p.m. She runs down, she points right at Evander and she says, I used to watch you wrestle. I used to watch you wrestle. So it just goes to show you can work your whole life doing something and somebody So it just goes to show you can work your whole life doing something and somebody just, they don't know. People don't know. They think you rascal. You could be one of the greatest heavyweights of all time and somebody thinks you are cocoa beware, right?

Somebody thinks you should have a bird on your shoulder. It's just, it is what it is. No shade to any of those men. So anyway, that's the group, dude. So now I'm getting on, so you had to go outside. I asked the people at the front desk of the Willard Hotel. Nice, bro. Them bitches, damn.

They, like it was old too. Like they had ghosts, I bet. And even the ghosts would have a fucking wallet on them. That's how I'm Rich people they you see a ghost in there and he'd be you know, he'd be like He won't even scare people he like that's for fucking poor goes homie he. He was at the strip club, dude, you know? But okay, so we get to the back of the bus, we sit down. Oh, so as we're going outside to get onto the bus, that's like leaving the hotel,

we go out of the area. Now they have like secret service and everything is very show your ID. Like every 30 feet you're showing your ID to somebody, letting somebody look at you, look at you. You know, some people touching your glands inside your neck or whatever. Somebody's fucking, you know, somebody's asking you

who your mother is, you know, that kind of shit. So yeah, there's just somebody like every 30 feet you're clocking in with somebody, every 30 feet you're showing your credentials, showing that wristband, arm, neck brace, everything. They had all kind of wrist brace, neck brace, back brace, everything they had, arm band, neck band, fucking, they had so many things you had to show to get, keep going, to keep moving on.

So get on the bus, it's a full bus. There was a young lady and her husband right in front of me who were from Louisiana, that was really cool. She knew my friend Mandy that I used to date and we was friends, it was her friend. I'm sitting next to Danica Patrick from the race car. You know what I'm saying? So you know how I am, bro.

I'm trying to meet a wife, dude. She's got a man, no judgment, but yeah, it was great. I saw, I sat by her and she was awesome, dude. We're just climbing around having fun. Oh, I forgot to say this. So right before we start to get into the bus, that's when Conor McGor's rolls up, bro Connor

McGregor's dude, and this is the fuck You know what I'm saying and this guy comes up and his suit it was like they have perfectly fitted brother like he just fucking just just fucking all Like they just like the suit had just been stitched right around him Just a second before he walked into our view and he was just fresh He was just fucking like he'd been just drinking Irish Springs soap water you know, he just looked like he was just fresh out the tap, you know and

He um, he was energetic and he rolls right up, you know, how you're going a lot a class a class lot You know just nice great to meet you You know just posit his energy was and it just a lot of energy Like a lot of and it was honestly it was a lot of good energy that he rolled up with Just in right there to the Paul boys and he didn't know I guess him in the Paul's it had Confliction online and I didn't know, I guess him and the Pauls had had confliction online, and I didn't know it. I didn't know that, you don't see me in all the gossip columns and all of that.

But they'd had confliction online, grown men, arguing on the internet, they'd been doing it. And no judgment, man. But yeah, he just comes in with his energy. He had his energy up like that. And he just had his energy like that. Like he just found all the pots of gold they'd ever hidden. Hey, lad, fair play, boys.

And that's how he rolled up, you know? Like the fucking, it was almost like Notre Dame. It's like if he was the guy on the little helmet or whatever, you know, on the hat. He was the Notre Dame guy, but he was twice as bad as that fucking little mascot guy they'd had. He could just fucking,

it's like he had a thousand Joe Joyce's in each one of his hands. And he just had the fucking legs strong as the Moors, you know? And what are Moors? Let me look it up. I think I'm just yelling stuff out of my head. Where is it? Ireland? Group of people with surname Moor who originated from Ireland. Oh well. Moors. I thought it was something. I thought it was something like a thing. Mowers, mowers, the cliffs of mower. All right, there you go.

And he had legs like the cliffs of mower. And he rolled up in his head, he said, he just had the energy of a fucking, he had the energy, he had his, he just was full of electricity around, he really was. He had it, he just,, he just, it was a, it was a, he had a voraciousness. You know, his aura was at about six, seven,

seven thousand, eight thousand. And I'm not even sure what the exchange rate of that is. And, in British pounds, I think they used them there. What money do they use in Ireland? Oh, euros. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's euros or minus, buddy. We're gonna figure it out. But anyway, so so that's how he rolled up a lot of electricity. But even just dude, he knew my name said something nice. So I was like, But even just dude, he knew my name said something nice. So I was like, you know, I was very just, you know, I was like, holy shit, dude.

So then we get on the bus, right? So I'm sitting next to Danica Patrick, okay? We're sitting in front of Evander Holyfield, dude. You know, and people used to watch him wrestle. And he is a legend, we're on this bus. And then John Shahidi, Kyle from NELK, and Kyle Forregard. Or Furgard, Fregard, I'm not sure. Is it Furgard?

Furgard. Kyle, they call him Kyle, obviously I can tell why because people, because it's after that, it's fucking, you're bothering people. But Kyle from NELC, right, who looked, who looked like he was going to court to not get in trouble for a serious crime, like a business crime, like he looked dashing.

He really did, the man looked dashing. And, oh, and then behind them, Jay, Dashing he really did the man looked dashing and Oh and then behind them Jay, uh, oh and then Alex Bruce, which John Shahidi And then in the back it was Jake Paul's Logan Paul behind them Pam Logan's mom, and Corner McGregor, the fucking cuttie kid of Ireland.

And it was just, and it was awkward. You could see also on everybody's face, because I guess there'd been issues between the Pauls and the McGregors. They'd been having beef online or whatever, and so they'd been beefing, and so there was issues there, and I didn't know it. But so it was just awkward, you know?

So I think there was some energy there. But it was also, people was, they said fair play to each other. Both of those sides said fair play to each other, boys. And we're gonna have a good day, and we're here for something bigger than bigger than bigger than us you know for to witness just a country that has freedom and so the bus took off took a while we've probably sat there 40 minutes a lot of laughter and fun stuff you know just crazy dude I

mean I can't even believe I'm sitting next to, hold on. I'm sitting by Evander Holyfield, right? And you could tell, he can feel like these other boxers in the back, but we know who the fucking dog is, you know? And I looked at him like, I'm on your team, brother. You know what I'm saying? If shit gets fucking risky out here, you know, if things get crazy, you know, then, uh, then you, you know, I'm saying if he, and he's, you know, he's getting up in years, but if you got to even use me as a white walker

just to help you get out of here, mate, let's whatever we got to do, man. Um, so, but yeah, but I, I just, I truly can't believe that I'm on this, you know, it's just, it's a, you know, do you find yourself in certain moments where you're like, this is pretty crazy that you're in a moment, right? And it's just regular people, for sure. But it's, you're like, this is, like, who did we trick or whatever to get in here?

You know, like, how did we, I don't know. I don't know, and we didn't trick anybody, but there's a part, there's just like, yeah, you're like, what are we, you know, one of these things is not like the other. It just seemed like, I don't know. And I'm not trying to say that like in a self pity or like pity me way. I just are like, oh, I don't deserve to be there. I'm just like, it just was fucking kind of a surprising moment We're all going to a presidential inauguration. I don't know these people. Do you know I don't know I mean, I know John Shahidi really well. He's actually a close friend of mine Who runs happy dad and I know

Who else was it I? Well, I paid for one of the vendors fights before, for sure. When they had early pay-per-view, I know. And, um, and I paid for one of the Paul's fights. Uh, and I met Jake and Logan, but I don't know them, you know? So anyway, there we all are. We're on a bus. We get over by the Capitol,

and they say as soon as the thing ends, we have six minutes to get out of the venue and back onto the bus before they're gonna shut down certain roads. And that was one of the biggest things. All along the outside, when I've been walking towards the hotel and everything, it's probably 10 to 30 degrees or 40 degrees

or 34, six, seven degrees, right? It's not a ton of degrees, but it's not, it's not like no degrees, but it's like, some degrees, you know what I'm saying? So, but there's military everywhere. Every fucking, you even like, like there'd be military, there's like SWAT team, you know, police, sheriffs, underco like a Marine.

Every there was people in high there was like, like I went to use a mailbox, I open it up, it's a fucking military guy in disguise dressed up like a male thing. Like, oh fuck, you know? He still took two of the letters for me, so thank you. But yeah, everything you just couldn't, you gotta be careful. There was military everywhere, so you couldn't piss outside kind of vibes, you know? Anyway, so we're driving, but all the roads,

there's like barricades everywhere. There's like trucks that they've just brought in to park at all these intersections, all around this capital area. Like any corner you would pass on the way in, because we'd circled the entire thing, trying to find a way to get closer to this hotel. So I hadn't had to walk just because it was so brisk out. So the thing, but there was some of them had cement barricades. Some of them just had like

a big trucks. Some of them had SU war, little war trucks or whatever. It's like a little tank but with, and they made them for regular people, but they were fucking sad. It was like H Hummers they had those real hummers they had They just there was things stopping everywhere and there was military personnel all over or police Personnel all over so anyway the bus ride takes a while. You got to go through these certain streets They have these these big barricades set up. And then you have to kind of like turn the corner and then straighten your bus out to make it through these huge like kind of cage steel walls that they've put up so the bus can just fit right down

the middle of the walls. Like the full intersection is the full street is closed. And it's just been narrowed to this one, like the middle lane kind of it. And so that took a while, like doing different turns. Anyway, we pull up outside of the Capitol, probably pretty far off. I'm not sure, maybe 400 yards.

We start walking, it's a beautiful day, beautiful. I mean like freezing cold, but just picturesque. The sun's hitting you. You can see the Capitol, the American flag. And it was exciting. All the officers, it seemed they're all wearing like this, the hot, the cold, like head gear. You can just see their eyes or whatever,

and just their gun or whatever. And that's, and yeah, they look like all like kind of dark snowmen like kind of like black snowmen like a little bit because there was just a Lot of them was wearing swat gear tactical. They had everything they had a fucking gun handcuff Billy Club Ray bands or whatever, you know just pepper spray salt spray Just fucking you know you didn't know was going just you know one of them would fucking just throw a grenade full of a

Lemon pepper, you know if it got shit got really bad So anyway, that's you have all these officers and everything you go inside. Let me think right so at the bottom Oh, there's all these bikes. They parked all these bicycles and stuff kind of to make it, like, you had to go past them. And it was a little bit of like a gauntlet kind of. It was just odd, the different things that they put in place to kind of make it odd to get into places.

So you get inside, and then we walked along a hallway and then you start to see military like Marines, Army, colonels, generals, sergeants, staff sergeant, Sergeant Pepper, I think, everybody in that bitch, right? They had everybody was there was and they were standing at attention, you know, and some were at not attention, you know, the lazy ones or whatever, I don't know who they were, but they, you know, and some people were getting photos. I mean, if you're rolling with Conor McGregor's, they, you know, people's fook and topped in lot,

you know, that's the most violent, tallest leprechaun they ever made right there. He's a savage man. And so, yeah, and you got him in the polls. And so it was kind of nice most violent, tallest leprechaun they ever made right there. He's a savage man. And so, yeah, you got him in the paws. And so it was kind of nice because I was just under the radar. They're all taller and bigger.

And so they have more excitement. I just kind of was, you know, I was just, you know, I was kind of in awe of the situation. My buddy, the wildfires got his home, but I'll tell you this, he had a fish tank and the fish in it survived, which is pretty unbelievable. But that's just the power of nature and water. It's been estimated that the damages so far

from the California fires total more than $250 billion. The loss of life is immeasurable, and the state and city are still in shock. There are claims that insurance companies canceled thousands of homeowners' fire policies in the months leading up to the fires. Were those cancellations legal?

Could this catastrophe have been avoided? If the wildfires were caused by negligence, someone must be held responsible. Morgan & Morgan, America's largest injury law firm, has helped millions of families in their times of need, just like now. They were there for the PG&E wildfire and for the Maui wildfires, and now they are here to help again.

So anyway, we go to get, oh, and once they started to open the doors, it was, some areas were kind of first come, first served seating. That's what it felt like. So it was kind of rushed.

It was like on the, like last Friday or whatever, when you got, you know, when they got a bunch of, you know, they got a bunch of kind of basketball wives fighting for those TVs or whatever. Like it's for like, thanks. Whenever Christmas shopping starts, you know what I'm talking about? So they had that, it was that kind of energy. Everybody's running to get a seat type of energy. And we weren't running,

but we're kind of keeping a quick pace, you know? But then we got up in there and we sat down and they had also with us or by us or whatever was Sam Altman and he did AI, right? And we'd love to get to chat with him and learn about how the world's going to fall apart. You know what I'm saying? We got to at least learn about it a little bit. And then Sam Altman, Alexander Wang, right? And I don't know a lot of Wang's. I don't

know any. Okay, there he is. Alexander Wang or Vong, I'm not sure how they do it. In, he's New Mexican. So he's kind of the Asian John Jones, if you will, sort of. But he went to MIT, he's an interesting guy. Anyway, he is there. Everybody else was governors, elected officials, rich people, like people that had cattle or gold, you know, or whatever.

And some people don't even call it gold. You know, at first, a lot of times they called it f**k it rocks, which is a crazy thing, but I could easily see people calling it that, and that's sad. Anyway, what am I fucking talking about? So we all sit down, right? We all sit down.

And it's a wait, bro. It is like, you know, and there's a lot of military, you got to meet a lot of military folks. So just to see all them in their dress garb, you know, I mean, that was probably one of the coolest things. You're in the Capitol and everybody's in their dress garb, you know, I mean, that was that was probably one of the coolest things here in the Capitol. And there's all everybody's in their garb and it's just very regal, very regal looking. And yeah, and people were amped and there was fun stuff. And then every now and then you shake somebody's hand and they had a wet hand or whatever. And you're like, Oh, fuck, you know, somebody get this fellow

a bag of flour, somebody or just get him one of those pool chokes and let him just chalk his hand up before he shakes again, before he meets somebody, you know? But yeah, and then so that kind of happened. We sat there for a while, probably 30 minutes. And then, and so we all slipped off and just slunk out and got into a special area beneath some stairwells where a lot of the military

was back there and they had, they was drinking chicken broth, hot chocolate and coffee. And the government had given them a little bag with a banana in it. You know, you're like, dear God, these people are putting their lives on the line, right? They're here to protect the president. We're fucking.

Somebody, I mean, in some of these bananas had been, I don't wanna say they had been abused or whatever by their owner or whatever, but they had been trafficked. I don't wanna say, or I don't know how they, but some of the bananas had, you know, they're not, you know, they're not gonna be put back in circulation. I was surprised some of them were still in circulation.

And anyway, but the military personnel didn't care. And that was kind of a blast too. That was probably the highlight of the whole inauguration was seeing all the military folks from all different branches, from police to like army, navy, swat, sweat. There was just some gay guy wearing a sweatshirt that said sweat on it.

Who else? They had even stolen valor. Even the people out there in stolen valor, you were like, you know, it was an honor. All of that, just, that was something great. Sorry, this story's getting long. So anyway, we got over there and we're just, we hadn't eaten any breakfast, right?

I hadn't. And so you're just, I'm just slurping chicken broth and slurping hot cocoa, you know. Anyway, so that was like a nice excursion from sitting there. We go back to our seats and my chair was bad. I had a bad chair. The chair had been, I don't know, it was probably made in Charna or whatever. It's been one of those, you know, probably a chair. Yeah, it was a chair that shouldn't be allowed to chair. They should check these chairs, right? They should breathalyze and whatever they should do.

But they did whatever this chair, you know, probably knew somebody or whatever and got in the building. Anyway, it was kind of slagging a little. My chair was kind of like, so when I sit down, I had that fucking lean on me. You know what I'm saying? That's your lane, that's your lane. So a lot of, and suddenly as soon as I sat like that, a lot of black people kind of nodded at me

because once you have that lane on you, but it's a little bit of a kind of urban respect going on. So I was like, okay, I'm in, I'm here. So we sit down, the congregation starts. The whole evening starts. The inauguration starts. And it's very nice, man. I mean, it's just you're witnessing a piece of history and you get to be there.

And it definitely felt like a lot of very regal people. And everybody was dressed very well. And just fancy. It was a diverse group, it felt like. I don't know if that's true, that's crazy to say that part. But it was nice, it was really nice. And just like, yeah, just felt lucky to be there.

Just to see it. You know, I mean, I was saying this this weekend on Twitter, but some countries, they can't vote. They don't have voting. You can't go vote. You just live. And you feel like you don't have a say in the template that you operate in or the universe that you're set up in.

You don't have a hand to raise ever. But yeah, so it was wild to see that. It was wild to witness it. And then just the little things, just like everybody just watching all the little things at the inauguration, just the little moments of little glances from the different people. And it's like this whole changing of the guard and it's like this tag team, it's like tagging in, instead of tagging in your partner, it's like tagging in your opponent, which is just such a wild thing to witness in a sport,

if you look at politics, almost like a sport. And so we sat there, everything was going pretty smooth. And then at some point my chair broke, right? The chair broke, I fell, it fell at some point my chair broke, right? The chair broke. I fell, it fell. I just, it fell, right? I fell out, I don't know what to say it. The chair like might've, I don't know what happened.

Right? But the chair fell. And I fell. And it was like, oh dude, it was the worst, right? It was embarrassing. Because at first I thought, oh, people thought I the worst, right? It was embarrassing. Because at first I thought, oh, people thought I did this, right? Like, I don't do, I don't like physical stuff.

I don't like that. Like, I'm not good at that type of stuff, falling out of a chair, that type of shit, right? That's for fucking clowns or shitty mimes, right? Like, yeah, that's for shitty mimes. The shitty mime type shit, I don't do that. So the chair broke and then I was like, oh man. And Sam Altman looked at me, the guy who made AI, bro,

he looks at me like, I was like, oh God, that dude's never gonna come on the podcast. I was like, dude, design me a chair right now. I was like, design me some way to get out of this embarrassment. Um, so that was kind of strange. And then I got up and, uh, and anyway, the thing carried on. We snuck off one more time to get some more stuff because it got long. You know, some of the benediction got a little, um, you know, they were

up there rattling and shit. And then Trump came through, he gave a very long speech in there, you know, I think addressed a lot of different things in there that it was kind of like the B-sides, like things he maybe didn't want to say in the actual main part, but he said in there. And then on the way back to the hotel, our bus kept turning off. It was experiencing breakage or whatever, or it was broken. So we got out and just walked like the last few blocks.

And that was kind of hectic. Just because some of those people are pretty recognizable and just a lot of people were coming up pictures and videoing and asking people from a different place. It was just a lot. It was like a lot of energy and it was kind of a little scary. Like I don't have security.

I'm not saying I need security, but you're just out there. You don't know what people are, you know what I'm saying? You just don't know what's going on. So that was a little crazy. Got back to the hotel and yeah, went home, went to my hotel, which is a couple, maybe a mile away or something.

Took a nap for a few hours and then went to the ball later on. And there was some issues about the chair. I ended up like, well, here, let me tell about the ball. So the ball, I guess they had a bunch of different balls and I had got it, I got to take it to one ball, right? And it was very nice. It was called the starlight ball

and it was beautiful in there. And I got dropped off, you had to get dropped off of blocks away. And then they had a very long like snake walk that you had to go on to get to the door and it was probably maybe probably a 20 minute walk, right? And so it was cold out. It was probably 25 degrees or something. So you're walking out there and I didn't bring a coat, right?

Because I didn't know, you know, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't think, I guess. And so I didn't think about a coat, and I didn't have a coat. And so we finally get up to the front, and they let you in, and it was beautiful. You know, it's nice, it's elegant, the fucking, they got curtains, they got carpet, the curtains were, some curtains was 80 feet long,

90, 45, 75 feet long, baby. They had curtains that had carpet on them like these bitches they had you know they had everything in there they had us the craziest thing I saw they had a ceiling fan it must have been 150 feet up in the air I was like what how would you do it and so I kind of was like looking for the switch for that low key for a while. Let me see inside of the ball, I got to see some people that I knew Joe Rogan was in there. Mayor Ernie Johnson, who's the guy? Speaker of the house maybe?

Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson, maybe. Got to talk to him, he's from Shreveport, Louisiana. He had a great sense of humor. We got to joke around a little bit. He had a few of his children with them got to talk with them Wayne Gretzky was in there the great one. I saw him dude Wayne Gretzky had lost His tooth in there. My tooth got chipped, right? My tooth. My tooth got chipped or something on a hard Appetizer, right? So Wayne's in there. I told him that he goes

Like that show me his mouth. He's missing a whole tooth, dude, you know run away train never going back He had that bitch just gone. I mean, he's a hockey player. So yeah But then they're like looking on the floor for the two several for probably ten minutes I'm helping him and his wife and somebody else, like a, I don't know if it was a dentist or whatever, but a dental assistant basically. I think it was just a dude that liked guys or whatever. But he was trying to help look for it.

And then, so we're looking for Wayne Greskey's tooth, okay? And I think he's like, yeah, I think, I won't find I thought he said he had a couple, he usually kept a couple extra on him, you know? Cause this is a hockey guy, these guys, you know, you'll go to bed, they'll have their wedding ring and a tooth on the nightstand, you know? That's just the kind of guys they are, you know?

So yeah, he just had that empty net up top and it was, but it was hilarious, dude, we laughed and we took a nice photo together, me, him, Mike Johnson. And then I started getting some social anxiety in there that was a little bit hectic. And what else was it? I mean, it's just like a couple thousand people.

You know, and you can't be like, hey, have you seen Wayne Gretzky's tooth? You know, like, so I would do that a couple of times. I was like, yeah, have you seen Wayne Gretzky's tooth? You know, and I think a do that a couple of times. I was like, have you seen Wayne Gretzky's tooth? You know, and I think a lot of people thought it was a euphemism for something or whatever. It was like a kind of like something like that. But yeah, anyway, we I don't know if they found it or not. I got to touch base with them. But what a legend, dude.

What a legend, bro. That was awesome. So that kind of made my night, I think. What else? I saw Tony Henscliffe and Jeff Ross, and we joked around for about a half hour over by the deserts. The things that I did not enjoy, to be honest with you, no judgment, but these are just things

that what it was like. There was only probably 25 chairs in the whole place for probably, I don't know, maybe it was 2,000 people in there or something, 1,600 people, right? Is that the right amount of people? Maybe 1,000 people. So they only probably, they might've had 40 chairs, right? So there was, it was like, if you saw a chair,

it was like, it was, it got squid gamey in there, dude. It was very, if you even hurt an ass cheek leave a fucking seat You could hear that you could hear it at 40 paces. You could hear an ass cheek. Leave a leave a seat See people rush in fly in just frisk for that damn 18 square inches of real estate boy for that ass real estate Maybe that chair. Who else? Sean O'Brien, I saw the Teamsters Union president who came on to the podcast once. Who else did I get to see or not see? Oh, Ben Shapiro, I saw it and get to talk to him. Jake and Logan, I saw. I'm leaving some people out, but it was just a lot. And I was kind of

burnt out. There was just like a lot of meeting people and it was just a lot of energy. So then at one point I ended up leaving. And at the same time, Lex Friedman was leaving. He does podcasts and I'd never seen him before. And we talked, we walked for about 20 minutes and then caught an Uber for about 15 minutes and just laughed, had a good chat.

Yeah, and that was it. That was the whole deal. I didn't get to see, I didn't get to meet anybody of the cabinet or anything like that. And I didn't get to see Baron Trump. I didn't get to see Baron, bro. B-dog, bro. You hear me? I didn't get to see Baron Trump. I didn't get to see Baron, bro. B-dog, bro, you hear me? I didn't get to see Baron Trump. That would have been something nice to meet that man. That's a young man you want to meet.

You know what I'm saying? He just, he's that, you know, he just is. He's that fricking seer. He's that seer, baby. He's the Lord's lookout, baby. You know what I'm saying? He is. He's that crow's nest of society right there. And so, yeah, that was probably a bummer.

I didn't get to see Bobby Kennedy Jr. who's a friend of mine. That would have been really nice. I thought Melania looked really nice and gangster at the same time, beautiful gangster vibe. I got to see JD Vance's wife. Just see her, that's really beautiful. I think she's the first Indian second lady in time ever that we've ever had, Indian American. And if you've never met an Indian person,

go meet one this year. I say that wholeheartedly. I met a couple of Indian people last year and I'm still enjoying the benefits of that. And it's great, that's been great. So if you don't haven't met someone like that, that's a great person to meet. What else, there was some, oh, how was there some?

Oh, Tim Kennedy I got to see. I just met him a week before. And I wish, I couldn't find his number. I was gonna try to meet up with him. It was so hard to go from one thing to the next. I was like, once you got somewhere, you were kind of there. There was just a lot, it was very tough to kind of move about in the city.

What else? You all know, I like to keep things cool, even in the winter, and nothing is cooler than a blue cube cold plunge. I'm fortunate enough to have one at home. And let me tell you, it's like baptizing your soul, baby, getting that little crispy bucket, baby. It gets rid of them demons we all have and makes you feel great for seven or eight hours afterwards.

It's good. My buddy Thomas Schiffer, the genius behind Blue Cube, and I go way back, and he just launched a presale for their new stand-up cold plunges. Wow. These things are the Cadillacs of cold plunge therapy. American-made, full immersion, weatherproof frames and built like a Sherman tank. I'll say this, they are built

well. And because you're listening to me, you can get a sweet discount when you mention my name. That's right. Just tell them Theo sent you and they'll knock a good bid off the price.

Opt in on their website or give them a call. I am grateful for the one that I have and I feel honestly thankful to be able to have one. I know they're not in everybody's price range and

that's understandable but at the same time I want to support my friend and his amazing company. Is pornography causing a problem in your life? Do you find yourself watching porno for longer periods of time and having trouble stopping? Is porn affecting your relationship or dating life? Well, you're certainly not alone.

these issues and getting help for them. I want to introduce you to my friend, Steve. Steve is the founder of Valor Recovery, a program to help men overcome porn abuse and sexual compulsivity. Steve is a long-term sexual recovery member and has personally overcame the emotional and spiritual despair of abusing pornography and has dedicated his life to empowering men to do the same. Steve is an amazing person and he is a close friend of mine. I mean that. Valor Recovery helps men to develop the tools necessary to have a healthier sex life.

guide to transcend these problematic behaviors. To learn more about Valor Recovery, please visit them at www.ValerRecoveryCoaching.com or email them at admin at Valrecoverycoaching.com. Thank you. Yeah, and I think my biggest takeaway was just that things, it's just changing, you know, it's like, just that things are kind of different. You know, like I couldn't believe that they,

that we got to be at something like that, but I think that's just how the world is getting. Everything's kind of evening out. You know, I don't really believe that there's, like it doesn't really feel like, it almost feels like there's not even really famous people. Everybody feels a little famous because everybody is able to kind of promote themselves

if they want. You know, what used to be like media that felt like it was kept from people or controlled, it just feels like it's just there now and you can make your own decisions based on how you're consuming or who you're consuming stuff through, I guess. I don't know. I guess I don't have like a lot of macro level pictures of that kind of stuff. But just to get to meet Sam Altman, dude, the AI guy?

Like what? And then it was just more, just like, yeah, it was fascinating. I wish I had had, I was kind of burnt out. It was very magnificent and had like a, you know, a Cinderella type energy and stuff. I'm just glad that I got to go to it. I couldn't believe that.

There was a thing where, you know, I thought Jake and Logan, I thought Logan and Jake were messing with me. They had videotaped, they were vlogging from the get, right? And I never spent much time around them, you know? And I know that they're really successful. And they're, I mean, they're tough guys. Those are tough guys, right?

No doubt. So anyway, they put a clip up, I fell out the chair, dude. And I didn't do, I didn't know, I knew that the chair had been bad. The chair faulty his faulty chair I don't know if that was CIA or whatever no idea no idea how you know if they there was a plan there but anyway they the chair was faulty but then afterwards somebody said that they were fucking with the chair, you know and so part of my brain was like oh were they Did they do something with it to egg it on?

You know like you know what I'm saying If you see somebody who's like leaning on a crutch or whatever and then you bar their crutch, you know, you leave town You know cuz you got priors or whatever and then they fucking They take that L baby baby, that gravity L, baby, they fall. So I just didn't know. So I got in kind of this skeptical place. And I should have just checked in with Logan about it, I guess, but they were recording everything,

so I didn't know if they were gonna record it or whatever. And I just, I hadn't been around him that much, you know, and I didn't, I think I get nervous around like vlogging type of things because it feels like you're, somebody could be setting you up or something. And I'm just not that familiar with that universe. And then later in the day,

Logan Paul's made a video where he said, he made a challenge about, oh, he said, if I was gonna put you through something, I'd put you through a table, you know, not a chair, cause he is a wrestler. He's a WWE wrestler. I believe he's been a champion too, hasn't he? Let me see.

Yeah, he was the WWE champion from November 2023 to August 3rd, 2024. So, yeah, so I thought that he wanted, then I thought he was creating like an online hype about it. I thought he was calling out the Rat King. And if you want the smoke, baby, baby I'll fill your lungs you hear me? Because I'm gonna give you the truth baby and I'm gonna give you the trauma name the time and the place and the place and the time because I got a clock and a globe and an axe to Nebraska from Maine to Fort Wayne.

So that's where I was at. And then we ended up talking in the morning and I should have probably communicated. That was my part and it was, I didn't communicate better. And they didn't do anything. They were recording, the chair fell, and it was ridiculous. And then they weren't trying to, they weren't trying to wrestle. I used to watch you wrestle. They weren't trying to wrestle.

And so, yeah, so no hard feelings there. Yeah, some just self-responsibility. I think it was just a little bit of miscommunication to just not knowing each other maybe, not knowing each other's energy some. And I'll say this too, honestly, I had a great time hanging out with them because we also had had a great time that weekend.

They were probably two of the guys. Yeah, we just, just joking around. I got to see how they interact with their mother. And I thought that that was very sweet, to be honest with you. No home, no daddy or whatever, you know, just like the way, and it was just all real genuine. You know, you could tell that they have,

yeah, you could just tell the affinity that they have for their mother and the same for them because a lot of families that grow up where the children are famous and stuff, they don't have the same fortune, they don't have the same good fortune, you know, and so that was really cool actually. It was, I. I admired that about them. Yeah, this honky zen monkey rolled up on me at the hotel at one point and was kinda just like, he was just kinda trying to say stuff to me and just, he was drunk, right?

And he just kinda kept spitting a lot. And it was just a lot for me and his energy was super clear. He was like right up in my face kind of. And I told him I didn't wanna really talk. I was just, it had was super clear. He was like right up in my face kind of, and I told him I didn't want to really talk. I was just, it had been a long day or whatever, and then he kept coming up, and Logan and Jake both kind of just put a damn Trump wall right there in front of me,

and I didn't need to be rescued, but I'm kind of glad they stepped in because it could have got a little weird. I was kind of, I was on edge a little. I just hadn't hit a meeting, just shit like that. I just got to take care of my own shit a little bit better. But so yeah, what I'm saying is, and nobody asked me to say this, you know,

we just, Logan and I had a call the other day, that shit was just confusion. And yeah, that was just confusion. And then, yeah, I'm actually glad I got to, I'm glad I got to get to know them better, to be honest with you. It was kind of a joy of the weekend and um What else was nice I

Mean it was all just crazy just to even even just to like stand around a Vanderhoof field And you're just like welcome to be around him right there's not like He doesn't have there's no he neither one of y'all needs to walk off because you're both in the same group It was like you're at a field trip. That was it what that's what it was like It was like when you were kids at a field trip and it was like, okay This is the B group and this is your chaperone or this is the L group and this is your chaperone And so that was us we had eight or nine of us. We had our chaperone And we were just you know, we were just learning about

civics and Getting to see some of it firsthand. And we really did like laugh. It was a fucking blast, dude. And yeah, I think maybe part of me, I wish they'd asked if they'd have put the clip of falling to the chair out or whatever, but in the end it's okay. It's all good. You know, I don't have any, any ill thoughts towards them.

You know, um, I, uh, yeah, I thought that they were cool guys. Maybe I need to quit saying that, dude. Obviously they're both married and I like women. But yeah, I kinda wish we would've fucking took that, I kinda wish we would've took it to the ring, you know? I think there was a part of me that was hoping, you know? Cause you know, the Rat King, baby, I'll put him in the fricking mozzarella wheelchair,

baby, you feel me? My finishing move is the tax evasion, baby. But that's every kid's dream to get in there and get body slammed and lose a vertebra, you know? In a sold out arena in Charlotte. I mean, you know, we can all dream. But yeah, I'm just glad I got to go to the inauguration. I would have gone, you can't miss it. You couldn't miss it if you got to go.

And I just feel lucky that I got to go. And so thank you to Alex Brushewitz for taking me, for John Shahidi, my buddy who's been super supportive and helps me a lot and helped me get to do the political podcast last year and just to learn about some things that I care about, you know? And just different politicians and how it works. It's like I've learned a lot in the past year, to be honest with you. I think anyway, you know, I think I have.

And so yeah, wish I'd have gotten to meet Baron. Wish I'd have gotten to see Bobby Kennedy. Some people gave me a hard time about going to the inauguration or supporting a party or whatever. I don't think about all, you know, I don't, I support, I do what I want to do for me and you can do what you want to do for you you know and but nobody owns my support nobody owns my support for anything I don't think you know except maybe my family and even then I thought can even then I'll keep it away from them sometimes. So I don't know about what else.

Let's take a call that came in. Here we go. Hello Mr. Theo Vaughan. This is Judy. Hey Judy! Sorry, my buddy used to say that all the time. Carry on Judy, onward. Thank you for calling. From Treeport, Louisiana. Oh yes, Mike Johnson country

and you know he's Speaker of the House. And I liked his attitude, I liked his energy. You know, and I'm curious to see what this whole new camp, what they do in there. I'm curious to see, you know, because it's a motley, it's a motley group that they got going in there. And I want to get to meet some of them. I want to get to talk to some of them and learn

some stuff, you know, and also ask them, ask them some promises, you're going to do this, you can do this. And then we can see if we can hold them to it. If we get to keep podcasting for years, we'll be able to hold them to it. Hey, you said you were going to get to do this. Why didn't it happen? Or why did it happen? You know, so that kind of stuff really intrigues me. You know, are we going to get lobbyists and foreign countries and APACs and all these different people out from inter interfering with our candidates and interfering with our lobbies? Or how does it work? And also, am I just delusional and I just don't know the whole system? And if that's the case, then educate me on it.

Because there's also just a cost of doing business in some things, you know? Like sometimes there's a cost of doing business. You know, like you could go set up a fruit stand or something, or a little watermelon stand or something, a little banana shop or something on the corner of a street. You could do that. But you have to pay a permit, right? You have to, it's just the cost of doing business. So sometimes I wonder if there's, you know, what the truth is out there. I want to learn

more about that. Let's hear more, sorry. I apologize a few times. Anyhow, I just want to say congratulations. I'm so happy for you that you had the opportunity to go to DC on Inauguration Day. I had actually said something to my husband over the weekend that I sure hope the Elvon goes to Washington to experience Inauguration Day. Well, thanks ma'am or young lady or yeah. Thank you, miss. I appreciate that. Yeah, Theo Vaughn went to Washington, I guess.

Fievel goes west or whatever. Fievel goes to section eight. That's gonna be, maybe I'll be able to be in that. Yeah, but Fievel was a mouse, dude, and he went west and we're the rats, baby. And we went east. So, but thankival was a mouse dude and he went west and we're the rats baby and we went east. So, but thank you for thinking of me. Yeah, I was thinking about that too. I was like, how can I not go? You know, so yeah, thank you. Let's hear more miss. Because you, my friend, are so worthy and deserving to have that opportunity. Countless, countless of this are so grateful.

Thank you for going. You truly deserve that. I was so excited for you. And I just want to thank you again for just having truly the best podcast that I get so hyped to listen to. And you were so deeply loved. Well, thank you. Thank you. That's sweet of you to say that. That's nice of you to say. You know, I did, I thought about my teachers from growing up. I thought about my mom.

I didn't steal, but I took a couple extra napkins because I know my best friend's mom is gonna want one, my mom's gonna want one probably. Yeah, there's a teacher too if I get to see him again that I would like to give him to, just little things like that. Yeah, and to see things you like and don't like. You get to witness like, okay, there's some stuff here that I feel like this, there's some stuff here

that I feel like this. There's some stuff here that I feel like that. Yeah, I felt like, I don't know. I just couldn't believe it. You know, to be real honest with you, I just couldn't believe it. You know, I just couldn't believe that I'm sitting in there and I'm at the damn, you know, this is like the, they're doing the inauguration, you know? And then the chair broke and I'm like, ugh. Ugh.

And you're on the floor and you're like, ugh, this isn't good. And then you just, I thought I'd, I was like, please let me fall through to another world or whatever. Like I looked over at Sam Altman and I was like, design a, you know, I was like, send me into the matrix right now, man. You know, don't make me have to just get up and just be human. So that was a lot. I don't know, was it a lot? But anyway, it is just is what it is, man. And the best part of it was some rich lady scoffed at me. She's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

As if she had to watch one of her own dog's shit. You know, those people that are really rich, they have someone else walk their dogs, so they never really know that their dog's shit or whatever. She was like, whoa, God. She grabbed her husband's arm or something. I'm like, yeah, you got it right. You sitting in the wrong section.

You in section eight, boo boo. These chairs busted as hell, brother. So maybe we'll start making our chairs in fucking America again I don't know maybe we'll start taking some pride in the things that we built that we build you know I don't know I wonder what the future is gonna be like you know I wonder and if we're strong enough man it's weird it's like the things that I feel like are bad for me sometimes it's hard to stay away from it's hard to keep using them You know, it's a basis, uh

It's interesting But I'm just happy I get to be alive and play the game every day Sometimes I play it pretty good. Sometimes I don't sometimes my attitude sucks like yeah, dude I was at the ball or whatever and the desserts dude I was just I wanted to get a drink or something that I was like, I'm not drinking, you know I'm not doing it. I just been I was just like I was kind of going through it and so I fucking said I'm gonna Get me some desserts, right? because sometimes if you want to drink if you

Stop that Kurt that craving you get you some desserts boy, you know So I tongue down a couple Petit Fours, baby let me bring up a picture of one of them. God, they're good, they're beautiful. They're good if they're good, but when they're not, they're just a waste of your fucking calories. Petit Four. And I'm the kind of guy, I'll put something in my mouth

and if I decide once it's in there that it ain't worth it, you gonna get that shit back, honey. I'll put that shit in a napkin, baby, and hide a little doggie bag somewhere behind a plant or something. I don't give a damn. I'll fucking feed that bitch to a sofa cushion after I take it out of my mouth.

I don't give a damn, because I don't eat bullshit sugars, dog. Apetit Four, also known as Mignardesis, Mignardesis, Mignardesis, is a small bite-sized confectionary or savoury appetizer. The name is French, petit four, meaning small oven. That's small oven, baby. You know what I'm saying, huh?

Damn, boy, and Wayne Gretzky lost that fricking, he was spittinitting chicklets, dude. Shout out to them. He had a, I'm upstairs, baby. He fucking, the Lord installed a window on his smile, baby. He had that thing going. And shout out Wayne, man. We talked about his family and I'm just clowning.

He knows, he had a great sense of humor. He's like, yeah, usually I got a couple extra I keep on me. But just moments like that, you're talking to the greatest hockey player in the world, and he's asking you how you're doing. And then you're just helping somebody look for a tooth in a fucking nice room.

It's just like, it's just the shit you kind of always dreamed about, I guess. You know? Let me see if there's one more question any questions you guys had Nick or Zack Can you hear me you notice anything on your mind about the election was there anything You made a point you post on Instagram about how you think we need more than two parties. That was interesting Yeah, I think that's something you know I think that's a big thing for me is that hey How do you get more party because I feel like if they're

You know if you if they're just we need more teams be more exciting You know, and I know there are more. People are like, there's the Green Party, I know that. Let me see. How many political, just so we know, some of you guys are like, this idiot, you don't know. Ha ha ha. The electoral system in the US called,

is it called a two party system? That means two parties dominate the political field. The two largest parties. Okay, minor parties, there's the obviously, so then you have Democratic and Republican, those are your two major. Your minor parties are the Libertarian Party. Was founded December 11th, 1972. As of March 2021, it is the largest third party

in the United States, claiming nearly 700,000 registered voters across 28 states. The Green Party, you know what I'm saying? Blow it in the air, baby, that's sticky icky. The Green Party has been active as a third party since the 1980s, you know what I'm talking about. Cheech and chong, homie. That's what's up, baby, dope as yola. The party first gained widespread public attention during Ralph Nader's second presidential run in 2000.

Okay, okay. And then the Constitution Party is a national conservative political party in the United States. It was founded as the US Taxpayers Party in 1992 by Howard Phillips. There's also the Alliance Party, is a centrist American political party.

It was formed in 2018 and registered in 2019. And the Vermont Progressive Party. So those are three, four, five other parties. That's pretty cool. I would love to get to talk to Bernie Sanders again. That would be something nice this year to learn a little bit more about some stuff. Yeah, I think I've gotten more curious this year.

I feel more curious. And then just, yeah, some things I wanna do this year, try and be better to my friends. I think I can do it. And just take more time, not in my own world, and think about other people's worlds. That's one thing that keeps me, sometimes I just get stuck in my own world and then it's,

it's not that I'm not thinking about others. It's just I'm thinking about me too much or some things I have to do. Right. Um, so there's some goals in mind anyway, sorry to ramble. Anything else, any other Nick, did you have a question? Anything come to mind? I know Zach had it. I didn't. I just thought it was kind of a beautiful moment. It did feel like things are changing Good or bad Yeah, that's the thing sometimes change. It's good. You don't know, you know, it's like Bobby Kennedy people did it people

Said he was a witch doctor. Whatever people said he was um, what were some of the things you heard? Oh, he worked for Frankenstein. You would hear all that or whatever people said he was, what were some of the things you heard? Oh, he worked for Frankenstein. You would hear all of that or whatever. You know, people would say he has a bus full of like frogs with band-aids on him and shit like that and like bears that are missing arms or whatever. And yeah, yeah, he's definitely, you know, he's had some weird instances with some roadkill.

I'll agree to that. But it's a mystery. I like something new. I like, let's try this. Let's try this. So, all right. Blessings to you guys. Thanks for listening to me ramble about the inauguration. Uh, thanks for being a part of the podcast.

Nick, do you remember about one of them we talked about, that would be a good call-in thing. Craziest thing you've ever seen in a bathroom. Oh yeah, that's what it was. And so one thing that happened was

I was at the inauguration. And I was there, right? And so I go into the restroom, right? Typical restroom user, that's who I am. So I go in there and you start, there's only a couple sounds that you hear in the bathroom that are kind of acceptable, right? You'll accept a lot of sounds in a bathroom.

You're like, okay, you're like, oh, all right, but okay. And then sometimes you hear some stuff and you do a quick prayer for somebody or something. But there's only a few sounds, but somebody was in there, either, I don't wanna say doing cocaine maybe, or just breathing short really fast every now and then. So that kind of blew my mind, but it just goes to show you that
