There's like a movie with Kevin Kline called The Ice Storm, I think is what it's called. Ang Lee directed it, I believe. Yeah. Is that the guy that directed Brokeback Mountain? Yeah. And The Hulk with... Edward Norton? Edward Norton, yeah.

Oh man, Ed Norton was the worst Hulk. He really was. He was a Hulk? I had no idea. I love him. The, man. Ed Norton was the worst Hulk. He really was. He was a Hulk? I had no idea. I love him. The first one. That's the hilarious thing is like Ed Norton is like notoriously like this guy on set that's like he's so talented people like to work with him, but he's like a huge pain in the

ass. Can you imagine Ed Norton like as jacked as he ever was, was like American History X, and he wasn't like really that jacked. He was like Skinny Jack. And you're like, he's going to play Lou Ferrigno's character. Mark Ruffalo, too. I don't know. Maybe it's that juxtaposition of nerdy, kind of unassuming,

slight guy that turns into this big thing. He is the Hulk? He plays the Hulk? Yeah. I miss this completely. He is the Hulk? He plays the Hulk? I miss this completely. He was just Hulk once, though. Yeah, this was before the whole Marvel cinematic universe, even. My cousin Peyton looks

exactly, and when I say exactly like Ed Norton, I mean, you can't distinguish them apart. It's incredibly weird. I thought she was about to say he looks exactly like the Hulk. I'm like, god damn. No, definitely not. Ice Storm

sucks. I didn't like it. The movie. I don't like the real thing either. Just to bring it back full circle, the Ice Storm is not good. I have an storm not good not worth your time I was ready to take us down

at Norton Hall talk about my favorite Norton films I love them 25th century primal fear come on you got the catholic church I never saw it I'm with you mental illness

checking all the boxes here sex kinky sex I love all those things I have all those things mental illness sex I'm saying it's highly relatable a mental illness that's precluded in

kinky sex out of me. Some of these things don't. I'm out of business. Some of these squares don't circle. No. A dog don't hunt anymore. Speaking of movies, I got a big week for entertainment

this week. Got Adam Curtis dropping tonight and then I guess tomorrow the reviews have been mixed for Judas and the Black Messiah. What's y'all's thoughts on that? Is it out already? Not yet. I've seen a lot of people. I think was it No Name that said that she could have been on the soundtrack

but decided not to because she thought the politics were trash. Wow. And I read a GQ interview with the director that he said some encouraging things, but you know, who knows?

You're still promoting the movement. When's it come out? Tomorrow? I think so, yeah. I still haven't even watched the Britney Spears doc, and that's extremely my shit. I heard it was good too.

Yeah, you're behind. I'm so behind. All I can do is keep up with Drag Race there's two seasons going simultaneously and I'm on top of it but that's about all I can handle what's Adam Curtis yeah a guy that did Hypernormalization

Tom talks about him every single episode that's your boy Tom's boy all you had to say was hyper normalization. I love him more than my own father. I started watching it this morning. I saw the first episode. That shit is crazy.

It's a series? Yeah, it's like a six-hour series. It's really good. He uses these people that are obscure. Well, they're obscure to me. really good like he he uses like these people that i'm like these obscure well they're obscure to me i've never heard of some of these people and kind of draws like threads between like alienation and like you know fringe groups and conspiracy theories it's like it's wild yeah well we were gonna watch the britney spears one

last night and at the last minute i had had to put the kibosh on that. I just don't think I have the stomach right now to watch someone mentally deteriorate over the course of two hours. Yeah, I watched that for 24 hours a day anyway. Exactly. It's my life. For 30 goddamn years. I'm already pretty close to shaving my head and just completely losing it.

I support that. I mean, I bleached my hair my head and just completely losing it. I support that. I mean, I bleached my hair. The next step is shaving it. I don't know how to do my roots, so what do I do? What's next? Just get rid of it. 2008 Brit. I love Britney Spears.

And, you know, Britney Spears, well, if we could just for a minute, can we? Go for it. May I? Yeah. So, you all know when I had my morning radio show aaron i had a morning talk show music show on friday mornings drive time 8 to 10 a.m called feminist friday hey and i talked all kinds of nonsense including about britney spears and determined that britney Spears herself probably is not a feminist, but Britney Spears is a feminist issue.

And long has been. You have to take a line on Britney if you say you're a feminist? I think so. She's like the only... I mean, okay, I haven't seen the doc so I don't want to go into it because I don't want to misquote because this is all. I'm running

on information I've been leaning on for 10 years, so there's probably no shit out that I don't want to misquote because this is all I'm running on information. I've been leaning on for 10 years. So there's probably no shit out that I don't know yet. Cause I haven't seen the doc, but she's like the only case. She was the only case for a long time where like her dad was able to just take over her entire finances through thanks to a judge, like convinced a judge. She was not able to run her estate and just took it over and she she couldn't buy fucking starbucks without his approval

it's fucking crazy because what happened with her sister wasn't there like some drama with her sister well that crazy bitch was jamie lee jam what's her name? Last thing I heard about Jamie Lynn Spears was she ran side by side into a pond and ended up getting the what's that disease that happens when you come up from a great depth too

quick? The bends? Yeah. She got the bends? I made that part up. I don't know. She almost died, though. She did, yeah. She got too much oxygen, too much water in the brain or some shit.

She got fucked up. But at one point, Jamie Lynn even contested their dad, Daddy Spears, to take over Britney's estate. I don't know if this is all in the doc again i haven't watched it yet i got it on it's on the front burner so everybody in her orbit just sort of circled the wagons against her to yes a bitch waves around one fucking umbrella and buzz gets a nice shapely buzz cut it wasn't even that bad it was a fine but like one of my fate her and of course her social media over the years has become increasingly bananas but my favorite one was not long ago she's going around showing off her new gym and she says

yes this is my home gym that i burned to the ground but we've got it rebuilt i thought that would my favorite was she was dancing she was dancing and broke a toe on camera and you can hear it break you can hear the literal bone break oh god damn no i can't handle that kind of shit i didn't see much about that other than i haven't seen it yet i didn't see much about that other than people talking about like just in terms of how the media covered like the justin and britney breakup and how he kind of didn't really build a career off of but kind of came out unscathed and like kind of like made it seem like she was cheating on him when she really wasn't or something like that. Yeah, do 100 bucks.

You can look at that motherfucker and tell he ain't shit. Look at him. That is an ain't shit bitch. Absolutely. And we've let him just fly all around the sun for years. I don't get it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, well.

But, yeah, I hear this dog drags his ass, so I'm looking forward to that. That's what I've heard as well. While Tom's watching Adam Curtis. I'll be cozying up with Brittany. Two opposite ends of the spectrum. Adam Curtis incorporates a little celebrity gossip, usually like

from 25 years ago. Yeah. He talks about Tupac and this, right? Patti Smith. But it's not like any sort of scandal thing. He just talks about how that

they were betrayed or they betrayed all of us. Yeah. I mean, Brittany is about a 20-year issue now. I'm 34. What year did Hit Me Baby One More Time come out? Like, 99, I think. Like, seventh grade.

Yeah, exactly. She definitely was, I hate to be crude here, but you you know you can imagine what sixth or seventh grade me was doing exactly two online pictures of britney spears big sign and in my house like the computer was in the kitchen and so i would be on we didn't have a computer it was brutal yeah it was brutal so i would be on god we didn't have a computer room brutal yeah it was brutal so i'd be like looking at pictures you know and like looking back and switching back and looking over

your shoulder yes no my problem was i'd be up in i'd be 10 sheets to the wind in a chat room talking craziness oh same yeah absolute i used to pretend to be a Christian fundamentalist and just fuck with people. Oh my God, I wasn't that cool. Or like a Satan worshiper, depending on which channel it was. I wasn't trolling, I was just cyber sex. Me and Tyrone would go to the computer room at the community college,

because we didn't have computers, so we'd go there and hang out and do the, I forget what it was, the attic, I think it was one of the chat rooms we would go to. And I'll never forget Ty's handle was orgyman69. He was there for one

purpose and that was sex chat. Mine was sballchick69 just waving a flag. Big queer flag. I'm a softball player. Help. Help. I would do the Christian chat forums.

I was cybering in the Christian chat forums, dog. That happened. Did y'all feel bad about it afterward? I felt pretty bad about it, for sure. You were the star of you were the start of christian mingle you kicked it off yeah you're right i would um i would go uh into uh the wwf chat rooms like the wrestling chat rooms and i'd pretend to be like sean michaels and triple h like

because they would because in those days it was pretty primitive. So if the real wrestlers were in there, it wasn't like you had a blue check or anything. They would just put the real Triple H or the real something. Anybody could do that. So you never knew if it was actually them. They advertised sometimes like, oh, a wrestler's getting these chair rooms. Or if it was just somebody with a made-up thing. I'd get there and be like, real Michael Higginbotham,

which was like Shawn Michaels' real name. And I would just be like, Oh yeah. Uh, can't wait to be in Milwaukee tonight. Tom has been a con man from the womb. You were in the WWF chat rooms and you, and you talked to real Michael Higginbotham and you thought you were talking to the heartbreak kid. Maybe you were, but maybe also you were talking to me. Who knew half the motherfuckers were going to be mayors and governors one day?

Yeah. Kane just lost a thousand vaccines in Knoxville. Really? What if a video surfaces of him in full Kane garb and he just lights them on fire? Just comes out that he's just like the real destroyer of worlds and he's living his gimmick like Ric Flair has done for the last 40 years, which stresses me out. Or he decides this is how he's going to get everybody

to get on board with the vaccines. As mayor, he takes a thousand at once. He just has like both his slow arms up and he's like shooting them in both arms. He just turns into the Hulk and busts through his costume. This motherfucker's cock diesel off his fucking RNA. Listen, it might not have been him.

It might have been the mayor of Knoxville because there's a mayor of Knoxville and a mayor of Knox County and I can't keep it straight, but somebody lost like a thousand fucking vaccines this week. We live in hell. How do you lose a thousand vaccines?

He's like the mayor of the county. He's the big dog in the county, right? I mean, yeah, right. What did we think was going to happen? These are county, all of our county, they lose millions of dollars. How do you lose millions of dollars that's true i am in their in their pockets uh i think paul bearer would have been a pretty good public official paul bearer should have run for some sort of mayor governor of alab governor of Alabama. He's from Alabama. Wait, no. Who was the straight edge punk?

C.K. Punk, what was his name? C.M. Punk. C.M. Punk, yeah. Yeah, he was good on the mic, man. He was good wrestling. I would have voted for Chyna. Yeah, hell yeah. It's me, though.

No, it was like Chyna and Britney Spears. Those were the two. Britney Spears didn't get it to me, but thinking of you jacking off to Chyna and Britney Spears. Those were the two. Britney Spears didn't get it to me, but thinking of you jacking off to Chyna is quite a joy. I do enjoy that in my head. Tanya was disappointed to hear the Britney news. She approached that with a little more sanctity, but Chyna's like, okay.

Remember she was on that show where they were all in the house on VH1. Do you remember VH1's running reality shows and she was on that show where they were all in the house on VH1. Do you remember VH1's run reality shows and she was on that show where they were in the house with Vern Troyer, who's Mini-Me on Austin Power. China? Yeah. Yeah, I remember that show. What was that show though?

Was it Road Rules? No, it was VH1's version. Remember like VH1 had a moment where they had like Pick Up Artist, Flavor of Love and all those shows and they were competing with Rock Love with Bret Michaels from Poison. They also had shows that would be

obsolete now. Like they had a show where you were to guess the lyrics of a song. So you like got in a vehicle and there was a camera in the dashboard and you were like supposed to sing along with the song and guess what the lyrics were. I mean like you could just look up the lyrics now online but yeah yeah i saw that reminds me i was in uh i was taking an uber and lyft um oh this is before i got the car

and there was this like ad there was like a tv and like uh like the passenger like the back of the passenger seat whatever connect to it and there was an ad where uber was uh having celebrities like disguise themselves as like just regular like uber drivers and they would turn on their songs in the car and start singing and the passenger slowly realizes like oh this is alicia keyes or this is you know so and so and it's just like what the fuck man or they tell him to shut the fuck up i hate this song one direction again yeah dolly turns around and offers you a Moderna vaccine. To save your life. Oh, God. She ain't even took it yet.

You get a Moderna vaccine and a lifetime pass to Dollywood. Tom, you had a big... You were published this week. Our boy was in the papers. He was in the papers. Our boy was in the papers. I was in the funny papers.

You got any death threats? was in the papers. Our boy was in the papers. I was in the funny papers. Stirring shit. You got any death threats? No, I can always tell who read it and who didn't because anybody's like, it's a Dolly takedown, obviously didn't fucking read it. You know what I mean? They called it Goodbye Dolly, though. I know.

In fairness, if I hadn't written it, I'd have been like, this't written it i'd been like oh this motherfucker look what he said about dolly park you know dolly's one of those things like where i feel like we can talk shit about her but i do get like a little mad when totally well you know i didn't know you were publishing that but the night before me and like three people were circulating that new fragrance she just dropped the dolly the new dolly perfume and we're talking about wanting to get it and how it had to send a it had to send

a peonies in it peony flowers so we were like oh fucking course it does this bitch has this bitch has pumped peony flowers she's took her literal peony bush right out of the yard and pumped it into a little glass bottle with a butterfly on top. Absolutely. We have to have it. Next thing I know. It's saying it to every bottle. Yeah. We were so excited. I'm glad you at least mentioned it for her.

You plugged her scent from above, Tom. Good boy. Yeah. You want to plug it? Where can the readers find this i was in the baffler uh this week it's called uh perhaps the salaciously titled goodbye dolly but i didn't title it obviously right that's an important thing to note too is when you get mad at a writer they usually don't pick the title or the like the little subheadings yeah yeah when you get mad at a writer they usually don't pick the title or the little subheadings

now you get mad at the editor I love a cheeky title it's all good though I did notice there was one comment I saw that was pretty funny it was like this writer found just enough nuance to find a way to talk shit about

Dolly it's like yeah that's the point of writing. That's kind of the point. Somebody was, like, from Centrist Radio that, like, their logo was, like, a bunch of people, like, a bunch of stick figures of different colors holding hands with a girl on the background. Said, it'd be exhausting to have a brain like this. said it'd be exhausting to have a brain like this and then like like there was like there was like plenty of like music journalists people that like defended me i was like hey actually this is like a good reasonable take you know what i mean yeah and then there were some that you could tell were like fanboys that just got their feelings hurt it

was like yeah oh so uh this one dude that writes for like used to write for the village voice he's been a bunch of places i've actually read his writing. I like his writing, but he was like, oh. So basically, some podcast dude gets irritated that people try to make Dolly what they want her to be. I'm like, yeah. And I'm from the place that she's from, you know? If you worship a bitch most of your life,

you can have a hot take about her, okay? Yeah, that's fine. I have a 2021. This is how depressed I was in December. I have a 2021 season pass to Dollywood. Just in case. I bought them in December

because I was so depressed. I had to have something to look forward to. They were cheap, obviously, because we're in a pandemic. I bought my little season pass. Well, that's my thing, too, Tanya. Until you've spent a small fortune at goddamn Rivertown Junction, fucking suck my dick. Until you've ate from the largest apple pie in the United States,

shut the fuck up about it, okay? Thank you. God, I mean, the Sexton family gave her... That's the only place we ever went on vacation. I know, right? We only went like two days, too. It's like, yeah,

we're going on vacation. I'm like, well... Just a week. It's like, we're going on... We're leaving on Friday morning and come back Sunday morning. Yeah. My favorite thing

about Dollywood... I'll quit belaboring the point but I always used to like when I was a kid I used to always just do dumb shit like when I was a kid that just made no sense like you know like

when you go to a theme park you gotta be walking around all day don't ride the water rides first you know what I mean yeah you gotta do it you gotta be strategic for sure yeah you gotta wait until that to the end and you better have a change of clothes or wear swimming trunks or here's a pro tip if you ride a scary ride you accidentally pee on yourself just go get on the fucking exactly right exactly nobody know who cares it all it all comes

out in the wash go go hit the river rampage. You come off and you're like, I got to hit the river rampage, y'all. I got to feel it. I got to stream. I have to do it right now. I got to do it right now. I'm going crazy. You look down, there's a big puddle going down your leg.

Crossing your legs while you're waiting in line so nobody sees it. Yeah, that's right. He's going to pour your paw up all over you to cover it. That's right. He's going to pour your paw up all over you to cover it. Well, we're proud of you, Tom. Good job. Thanks, guys. Yeah, it was very good.

I had someone send me a message that said, the story of the turkey leg, oh, my God, the pathos. So you really connected with somebody. I should say that i mean it's taken me a while to forgive the people at aunt granny's kitchen for not refunding me when i dropped my turkey leg i love i didn't expound on the paper but the guy that tripped me was he we talked afterward because he wanted to buy me another one i was just being pissy about it but he said call this number in charlotte north carolina and ask them why they call me the great pumpkin oh my god he said this to a seven-year-old boy i was just like i had to get the fuck out of there the editor cut that out like i didn't know i didn't get

into that but i wanted to yell, stranger danger, stranger danger. Oh, God. Yeah. Shit. Well, anyway. Well, anyways, so if you want to get to the real meat of the show, I don't have a whole lot of political news for this week, So if you want to get to the real meat of the show,

I don't have a whole lot of political news for this week because I was completely tuned out the last three days. So I'm not really, like I have no idea what's going on with impeachment. I've not kept up with that at all. And then there was a few confirmation hearings for Biden's cabinet. I saw some guys accused nira tandem of calling bernie an ignorant slut yeah you know it's saying something when it's a slow politics week in the same week bernie and ignorant slut were used in the same sentence what he said was which meant he didn't have to say ignorant slut those are words he specifically

chose he said you called him everything but ah yes ignorant slut which makes it so much better because he chose those careful it's fucking 72 year old ashen colored fucking from louisiana even had the words ignorant slut at the forefront of his brain is weird in itself. Is that from something? I don't know. Ignorant slut?

I mean, I don't know if that was from him, but I was reading and I thought somebody might have alluded to it being from somewhere, but I can't place it. Yeah, it's a very specific phrase. Yeah, totally. I mean, I have a crop top that says it, but I assume that's not what it's from. That's a different thing, though.

Yeah, there was that. So, yeah, there's also impeachment which like i said i've not kept up with i mean have you guys kept up with it any at all is it is it a story worth pursuing or even mentioning i just heard from a friend i can't have it kept up with it in the internet but a friend told me that they decided it was constitutional. They could continue with impeachment. Right. I don't know.

That happened at some point this week. That's all I know. Yeah. And apparently Mitch McConnell's on board now. Really? Finally. That's what I heard. Maybe that's a lie.

I did see people were praising Pence. I mean, I did see people were praising pence i mean i did see like the democrat strategy going into this is to try to peel pence off in an effort to peel off the other republicans like in the senate and so they're trying to basically what's the word i'm looking for like dfi pins or you know what i'm saying like they're trying to rehabilitate them yeah i'm sure i'm sure that's going to work trying to uplift and edify a guy that won't be alone in a room with a woman that's not his wife because he's afraid they'll say something about it i'm sure that will have no control over himself yeah the billy graham strategy yeah uh yeah it's fucking uh it's goofy i i i gotta say for myself i skipped all the

mainstream coverage of this and went right to the source uh that is the youtube channel former uh gamer i forget what crime family is from former mafia boss michael franzese who had a lot of things to say about the topic. What did he have to say? Well, just for 30 minutes, he said, the number one question I'm asked on this channel is, Mike, did Donald Trump have any dealings with the mafia? Well, here's the truth. And then he hits you with that dramatic entrance music

and just shows him speaking at a church and driving a Cadillac Escalade down, you know, a, drive or something. But to get back into it, he was like, did Donald Trump have dealings with the mafia? Sure, he had dealings with the mafia, but not like directly. Here's what it was. We controlled the unions. If you wanted to build something, you had to get to the unions and we controlled the unions. So in a manner of speaking, Donald Trump did have some dealings with the mafia,

but nothing directly. Nothing that – it was like much ado about nothing, but he was basically just saying like – I assume Michael Franzese is at least a little pro-Trump. I can't swear to that, but it feels that way. I mean, if he's Italian-American, you just gotta say probably, yeah. It's a good chance, yeah. There's

paisans for Trump. Well, so there was the impeachment stuff. There's also these executive orders that Biden's been signing that, according to the good people of Ledger County and the Whitesburg Mountain Eagle, say constitutes Marxism. We love that. Biden is finally taking over. But, you know, we haven't covered many of these executive orders. We maybe mentioned a few on

either the page three on this weekend or last week i can't remember but i wanted to talk about one of them briefly because i feel like it's very much in our wheelhouse um uh earlier this week biden signed an executive order to create a civilian climate corps the initiative he wrote will provide good jobs for young people and train them for environmentally friendly careers putting them to work restoring public lands and waters planting trees improving access to parks and of course tackling climate change um so you know just right off the bat a few knee-jerk reactions to that. Seems like I've heard this before.

Let me tell you something. I'd be proud to be paid $4.25 an hour to protect the planet. That's just my tax for being here. These jobs will, you're right, absolutely pay no more than $4.50 an hour. I mean, that's what these jobs are. I mean, it's probably an AmeriCorps thing. It's targeted at young college grads who aren't sure what to do after college, and so they'll hire them to go plant trees on a strip mine, which is coincidentally how I wound up in eastern Kentucky.

Let me tell you what I love so much about the vista core and it's like goddamn i i dream about in a good way about in that back there in this spot but it's always when you go for those vista trainings it's always like all the young recent college grads i wasn't that like i was kind of like somewhere in between the young college grad and the guy i'm getting ready to talk about but there's always a guy there that's like a little too old to be there that you can tell it's just like has like been down on his luck probably lost his marriage and his house gambling and everything and just kind of found it in the paper yeah and then just gets there it's like wait you know what i mean

i love that guy i was in my vista train there's two of them in there and i've paired up with them i mean often these jobs are geared at i mean the language of this is almost identical from these non-profit uh initiatives that we've seen around here for like over a decade now. Basically, they are specifically designed to, yeah, do stuff like reforest strip mines, which is an impossible task. You literally cannot reforest a strip mine. It's impossible. How long are they? These are the same.

This is like carbon capture. How long are they going to keep on this drum that they've been proven wrong that they can't do over and over and over and over and over again? Well, this is like the liberal version of non-reality, like during the Trump years, right? There's these problems they will not address because it takes to test their friends in the industry but they swear there is a way to keep doing it that is like efficacious for the planet and the continuation of the species but we all know that's horseshit like clean coal is a

myth like reforestation of strip mining is like like yeah you could you could theoretically come close to it like over a period a long time like a hundred years like fucking vista workers are not going to do that in a one year term you know what i mean they like get up there maybe plant some fucking fescue grass and some pine trees and then yeah take off yeah we've talked about it before but do y'all think that like i mean it doesn't matter because the results are the same but do y'all think they actually like believe in these like non-solutions or is it just like they're just being cynical i think that it's like tom just said it's a very it's a it's they're threading a needle this is their fig leaf to the you know fossil fuel industry to say like we're not going to substantially do anything to limit

carbon emissions but we can do this like you know sort of mealy-mouthed uh green jobs program and pay college grads five dollars an hour yeah to you know make parks beautify parks and stuff and you know it's like doesn't do anything to actually reduce emissions or change the current way we burn or create energy. It's a fig leaf. I mean, when you first read what this said, I haven't read about this, but it sounds like a subversion of trying to skirt around the Green New Deal. That's how it's built. Yeah, this is New Deal shit, except paid nothing. Exactly.

Paid $4.50 to recent do-good college grads and guys that were there in the flesh at the 93 Santa Anita Derby. This is, Tonya, you bringing that up is actually spot on. Because, and you just saying, Aaron, do they actually believe in this or is it cynical? My belief in this, and I guess we'll wait and see how this pans out, but my line on this, my belief is that this is their sort of, like I said, olive branch to the environmentalists.

This is them saying, yeah, this is good enough, right? It's a Green New Deal good enough. And, you know, let me just read this quote. This is from a climate analyst at Data for Progress, which is like, isn't that Sean McElwee's think tank? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. So like they're you know, these people work hand in hand with the Biden people. They they exist to launder the Biden administration's policies as actual progressive policies. And so this is what they said. The Green New Deal is all about a jobs and justice approach to climate policies.

So I think that the new Climate Corps proposal really encapsulates that. I mean, to me, that just is them saying it's good enough, right? You'll fuck it. You'll you'll you'll shut the fuck up, right? Jobs and justice. They literally pick they pick these words so carefully because jobs with Justice is a progressive org. This is like signaling. They're trying to signal that this is good enough. You know what's

funny about that type of shit is like, I talk to, have y'all watched the movie War Dogs? No. It's got Jonah Hill and what's his face? what's about all the contractors the same guy that made joker i'm pretty sure made that one i think so it might have been a todd phillips movie i think so yeah but basically you know they they like defraud the u.s government

getting these big weapons contracts and then they go buy like old like ammunition from eastern europe that was made by china and it like just violated every standard that like the you know our uh sterling u.s military uh had regulations for anyway they made a mint but they ended up like you know getting in trouble for it and all that kind of shit and then like i like i see something like that and i'm like how did two shitheads like one that was just like a fuck up and the other was like a down on his luck masseuse go and fleece the U.S. government for like millions and millions of dollars and then like I talked to my cousin who is in like logistics and transportation he's like loves those government contracts because they pay so much more and all this stuff like there's so

like I hate to be like the government waste guy you know what i mean but it's funny that like our government would literally throw money at everything except for like its citizens yeah actually solving issues it's just dumb shit absolute dumb shit i love to hear somebody say they're in logistics it's just so soprano so waste management might as well be saying a little this little that and trust me he is that kind of motherfucker yeah no um but yeah this whole article it's in grist um this whole article is basically just talking about how it's modeled on the civilian conservation corps from the new deal i mean like yeah they it's much ado about nothing in my opinion just because i've seen this play

out so many times over the last decade and um like i said it's mostly exists as it all branched to both the environmentalists and the fossil fuel industries to say like look we can all get along we can all get along we can all get along and we can take care of the environment while burning fossil fuels responsibly and it's like meanwhile sea levels rise you know meanwhile we're wiping out more and more species it's just it's nothing in my in my estimation but i could be wrong i don't know no i don't know like i think that that's like the thing about climate change is that it's something that like i mean we saw like shit this summer i

mean we saw the whole west coast on fire but it's like it's not until those like big spectacular events happen that like people are like oh shit like we're killing ourselves yeah but like otherwise it's like this background existential dread you know what i mean that even if you even think about it for five minutes, it's like, oh, fuck, fuck. We're all going to fucking die. It's insane. It's so omnicidal what they're doing there. You know it's going to happen. You don't give a shit.

You don't give a shit, man. It is like the existential version of our own individual dread of being like you know finite creatures with aware of our like finite existences you know what I mean but it's like it's awful it's just like waiting around for like the worst effects and the hammer to drop from it and it's like it's just

it's subtle like it's just far enough away kind of like our own deaths where it's like we don't have to be thinking about it constantly even even though my brain chooses to. But like, you know, it's like not immediate enough for like, but it's like just lingering there in the background. Just like, man, and we know it. And we could have did shit to stop and we're like cross that bridge when we come to it like 40 years ago it felt like since mom got every little thing

that happens every little executive order every little shit like this that comes out i'm i'm like angrier because it's so insignificant. And I guess it makes me feel just like more despair because, I don't know, I guess I had tricked myself into thinking that they could actually curb some human misery, but they're just not going to. It's just not going to it's just not going to happen um and this in particular i feel like is really evil terrence because of shit that i even feel like tom has brought up that i even questioned when tom mentioned it about um so generally a safe policy when i tell you well like back in the summer um you know we were a lot of the political education on social media

that was happening this summer was like eight to abolish um eight to abolition um and trying to like get people to spin wheels so that people could see a line to defunding police and like beyond and tom was like you see this shit and it is less radical it's like less right it's less radical than shit we were demanding 10 years ago. Yeah. And at the time I was like, I don't know. I don't remember us saying shit like this five, 10 years ago. But when you dig back a hundred years ago to the actual new deal,

it is what actually happened in the new deal, which I'm starting to uncover more of in the past couple of weeks because of the training I'm in. And we're like literally been talking about all the specifics of the new deal. It's more radical than we could have, could ever expect Biden to do anything of, you know,

like it's bananas. Like there's no way we would even like, that's where we got our labor laws. But you could argue Bernie Sanders is to the right of Dwight Eisenhower. I'm dead fucking serious. Yeah, totally. It's like we can't even fathom our government hiring

thousands of artists right now in really good wages. The Green New Deal hired thousands, tens of thousands of artists to create murals and all these community projects to you know what i mean to like to influence the infrastructure of this country i'm glad they're finally doing something with their 200 000 poetry degrees

infrastructure that we have let literally fall into decay and into our rivers to poison us that's where we're at 100 years later well like what i was thinking is like the new deal was like this uh tenuous agreement between capital capital and labor right like it wasn't necessarily like the beginning of the social democracy it was to like save like capitalism you know yeah and you can't even you can't even imagine that shit happening like now. You know what I'm saying? It didn't do a whole lot for redlining. It didn't do a whole lot for communities of color.

It didn't do it. I mean, I think that's one thing when we're talking about the New Deal. Like, specifically in terms of, like, Appalachia, the New Deal was good for, like, you know, Appalachian communities, you know, mostly. you know, Appalachian communities, you know, mostly. Well, yeah, well, like in a lot of ways it, yeah, it was like that situation. It was like, like you were saying there,

it's just like trying to prop up this crisis of capital. We have this crisis with capital. It's like, okay, we just have to give them some temporary concessions. And that means we're going to have to give them like we have to confiscate all the gold and all this kind of stuff because if we don't we have a massive problem on our hands. Now they've got us so well adjusted to austerity that

it's just like now they're just trying to see what the bare minimum they can give us to stave off crises. Yeah and at the root of it like Aaron said they are trying to save capitalism yet again. The world is fucking dying. It's just insane.

The bodies are piled to the fucking ceiling and they are still desperately trying to figure out how can they thread the needle exactly perfect to do as little as possible but to save capitalism? Jesus.

To save their own asses. That's what this article is. Also, too, and me and Terrence were talking about this a little bit the other day. The injection of liberalism is kind of like that scripture in the bible that we were talking about this it's like there's a way that seemeth right but in the end there's destruction and it's like you even look at like the demonstrations

from this past summer with George Floyd's murder and it's like we started out burning down the god damn Minneapolis police station by day four we were holding hands with cops in the street of Lexington. They were kneeling with us, man. They were kneeling with us.

You know what I'm saying? It's that sort of injection of an into it. That was... Go ahead, Tom. I'm sorry. No, no, no. Go ahead. I'm sorry. And now, this past weekend, we play a

literal Super Bowl by honoring dead people at the beginning and having in racism on the helmets. There's no way to comprehend America at this point. How do we even understand? It's a parody of itself, yo. Truly, we're out of a job. There's no way to continue to make fun of this more than they are making fun of themselves. Did you see the video

that, I mean, I didn't watch that shit, because I could never watch that shit with Kamala jogging up, like, the steps of, like, the cap, I don't know, the cap or some shit like that, and the Secret Service is trying to keep up with her, and she's wearing sneakers, and it's like, oh, look at this cool fit VP.

People are dying, bro. 5,000 people died one day last week. What the fuck are you people doing? We're supposed to be impressed that you can jog up some fucking steps. Give me my fucking check, yo. You know what I love? You know what I love? I love

this country is so fucking perverted. I see a fucking article that says the virus in retreat this morning. New York Times. They had stories in their emails going out. These motherfuckers are doing it. It's like what's the Malcolm X quote about like stabbing a man in the back nine inches, pulling out five and celebrating your progress. Yeah.

That's like exactly what this shit was. We're down from we were over a hundred thousand cases a day for whatever now we're down to 85 we got that we're beating the brakes off that bitch and it's like oh it's still two weeks after i don't know about that yeah yeah andy brashier's saying the same thing he come out with this whole y', holy fucking press conference about how Kentucky has seen four straight weeks of decreased cases. It's just like, buddy. Oh, God, yeah.

Our expectations are so low. Like, I mean... Go ahead, go ahead, Tony. Meanwhile, the state fucking Kentucky's unemployment office has ignored 400,000 emails. They literally have like... They're ill-equipped to deal with it.

Well, it's like you were saying. All the agencies that were created to manage the contradictions of capitalism, provide a safety net for people so that there wasn't large surplus populations. They've all been turned on people now you know what i mean like the whole objective of all these agencies now is just to either contain or deport people i think is that yeah have any of you ever had to go

fall sign up for welfare i've been on unemployment yeah have you signed up for food stamp at the food stamp office they treat you like an absolute alien you are treated like my sister when she has to take her kids in with her she does everything she can to get a babysitter because when she has to take her kids with her they treat her like an absolute monster

in the fucking food stamp office just unbelievable I can imagine going now when i was on food stamps it was like 2005 and there was like a hint of that was sort of you know before the era of trump and all this kind of stuff like you still had that sort of anti-porn working people sentiment but it wasn't as virulent as it was now so you had people that like you would go there and it's like honey you make like nine dollars too much to qualify. But we'll just adjust your income here.

We'll pencil it here real quick and help you out. Yeah. Like now it's like that same person would probably look at me and try to radicalize me. Isn't it bullshit that you like make nine dollars too much $9 too much and these fuckers don't have to work? That kind of shit. I could not imagine going to the goddamn food stamp office in 2021. I bet it would be

just a complete all-out assault on your self-esteem and sense of worth. Y'all ever seen this movie? It's documentary welfare by this dude Frederick Wiseman. It's really good. It came out in 75 and his films are all about him just going in with his camera and exploring like american institutions and he goes to this welfare office like in the bronx and like the inhumanity and the dehumanization

like of just these like civil servants and clerks and i guess this is the time when like you know i guess like this the economy in the 70s was rocking. It was the rise of financialization and all that shit. So you're truly seeing, like, this, like, you know, surplus population that, like, subsists off of, like, government aid and assistance and just how they're treated by people that work there, partially because, like, they do this shit every day and they, too, don't have any hope and they're in despair and they get pissed off, know that people just trying to come in to get some money or whatnot so it's like yeah man i can't imagine going today to see how bad that's gotten over the past 30 years that we've been turned on each other you know i've been reading ruth wilson gilmore's golden gulag and she identifies that period you're just talking about as the transition from the welfare warfare state that existed after World War II, where you had a strong safety net, but it was also funding these empire building projects abroad. Transition from the welfare warfare state to the permanent crisis workfare warfare state in the 70s and 80s. And she talks about about it's fascinating i mean um basically she's detailing how mass incarceration rose and it arose because you had all you had

surplus finance capital surplus labor surplus land and surplus state capacity like you were just saying tanya you have all these agencies they don't fulfill any of the roles they used to. So the neoliberal state had to restructure itself. And how did it do that? Prisons. It didn't have anywhere to put these people and anything to do with this land. So it just put them in prison. It's almost a budgetary thing, what you're talking about, Terrence.

It's like, well, instead of having to account for the fluctuations in employment that these class of people are facing let's just throw them in jail that way we know what what it's going to cost you know three meals a day the cot and whatever whatever stay they have you know it actually is revenue streams at this point i mean yeah especially in towns like where we live but overall it's still a revenue stream because if you issue bonds if your municipality issues bonds, you can back that up with your assets in the form of prisons and say, like, we're going to continue having prisoners coming in, and that's revenue from the state, so buy our bonds.

It's a safe investment. Free labor. Free labor. You see out there picking up on the side of the road and everything? You get all kinds of shit. Yeah, it's grotesque. But at least we have guys like Biden in there, you know, passing these executive orders.

We're going to start chipping away at this, you know? I think we're going to get back. Chipping away at a mountain range. The weird thing about this, as I was thinking about this, as you were saying it, Tanya, is like with Obama, they, I mean, Obama didn't do anything really, but they did attempt to do some very, very meager things. It feels like with Biden, it's just fully symbolic. You know, it is just like, here's a piece of paper that I put my name on and it's good enough, right? You'll take it.

You'll take it because you're desperate. So it's good enough right you'll take it you'll take it because you're desperate so it's good enough right it's just i don't know and that's um when this training i'm in one of the activities they did was they asked people to place different politicians on this uh axis and one axis is representation and the other one is redistribution and by it's just like the more the more they are aimed the more they're geared at representation the less redistribution we're getting oh my god and it was kind of a cool visual to like help understand the route, the route we're going.

As Tom said, the injection of liberal. Cause like, it's all about appearance. Yeah. I know I've said this so many times, but it really is about like the appearance of doing something rather than the essence of like what it actually is.

We're like, you know, appearances like truth and like truth is false. You know what I mean? and the way they're able to spin that to people and again with the whole climate change thing man like it really is like everything is fine we're doing something it's okay meanwhile like everybody knows everybody knows right yeah i mean the entire point of all of it is to basically split and divide leftist social movements i mean this is ultimately a point and that's the conclusion we came to at our new year's episode you know that if you draw any lessons from 2020 it's that liberals they're terrible at governing but they're very very effective at disrupting and splitting

leftist social movements and you saw that with the two biggest leftist social movements of 2020 the bernie sanders movement and black lives matter um and and i don't know i mean now they finally got what they want they got it you know instantiated in the executive office. Um, but that is the order of the day, you know, just like trying to see how, how far they can go with this, how,

how deeply they can drive the left, you know, under their boot. I don't know. Um, well, anyways, that's the climate core.

That's the, um, the civilian climate core. What did CCC stand for the first time around? Civic core. Civilian conservation. Conservation. Which is funny because there is now an NCCC,

which is maybe it's the National Civilian Conservation Corps. It's like some AmeriCorps program. I mean, it exists and it exists literally for this reason. They like go build, you know, wooden steps at national parks and stuff. It's the cheapest labor in Nashville. Are they just repackaging like something that has already existed? Yes. I mean, like they've given you a gift, like, you know what I i'm saying like somebody gave you a gift and then next year like gives you the

same fucking thing maybe takes it back when you're not looking it rewraps that shit that's exactly what you're doing i supervised a group of an nccc group one time they were a lot of fun yeah one of them one of them ended up still in a very ornate like credenza from i won't say who but somebody came and asked me i was like i don't know man damn that's wild and they would they would ask me what to do we would like be picking up trash alongside the river and stuff and we would do that

and like you know we ran out of shit to do on like day two so the rest of it was just like take this garbage bag go find you a nice

cool place to sit in the shade and just yeah yeah so yes that's exactly right Aaron they're repackaging something they're regiving um yeah i don't have i don't really have any other big news items from the week um i did see something that i found very interesting maybe our buddy ken lane can answer this um explosives are missing from the nation's world uh from the nation's

large largest marine base it's in 29 palms um man yeah i don't know 29 palms a wild ass town if you get the chance to go um never been no it's like uh how many explosives um Probably a significant amount. Let's see. I'm sorry. Was this a big news item? I didn't hear anything at all about this, which is alarming. Yeah.

You'd figure that would hit the board. You know what I mean? Yeah, right? They're unclear what kind of explosives are missing and how many. I just saw it and opened it up, and it was sitting in my bookmarks for today. Pretty interesting. Another news item I have, I'm just clearing these out. This is like closing tabs.

This entire podcast has been closing tabs. This is like what vegetables are getting ready to go bad in my refrigerator toss these shits out yeah making a quiche here we go um this this one uh parlor wanted donald trump on its website uh trump's company wanted a steak um in the website not a not a-bone. I would too, man. That motherfucker, we want him on every platform. I opened this one up because it has a J.D. Vance tie-in. The company recently, this is Parler,

attempted to raise capital funding from Naraya Capital, the venture capital firm of J.D. Vance. Our boy J.D. might be investing in Parler soon. Jesus, dude. Oh, God. So J.D. Vance is taking up the cause of like, everybody has banned this app from all their app stores and shit.

And J.D. Vance says, I'm gonna go give them a little shot in the arm. Hell yeah. My boy knows a good investment when he sees one, Tom. Alright. Oh my god. Well, there were

a very small smattering of speaker pieces. Very tiny amounts. But I figure you might as well hit them. I send them to you, Tom. You just want to, there's like four or five. We might as,

we've got a couple minutes to kill, so we might as well, unless you don't have your phone on you. My phone just died. How about this? How about this? How about, let's everybody clap right now.

I'll go juice it real quick, and we'll read them, and then out. There. Clap. I actually hook it up. We never did clap. So we'll know, like, where to.

Yeah. Okay. One, two. Let me count it. One, two, three. All right. I don't think mine did it, but okay. I don't think mine did it, but okay.

While he's getting that, I risk my life to get L.A. at the dollar store about once a week. Yeah. And also, if it's Wednesday or after, I snag a paper. And this week, of course, the cover story is that we've lost our pizza hut. Yeah. R.I.P. R.I.P. My only concern is Barry, who was a mainstay.

I don't even think he was the manager, but he should have been. Anyway, well, the man had recovered from cancer cancer he was in remission from cancer and had a trach and they were literally sending him out to cars in the pandemic with pizzas fucking god he brought me my pizza and i said barry what the fuck are you doing bringing pizzas to cars oh that's what else am i gonna do they need to send somebody else out to the goddamn cars. Anyway, but on this fateful day,

this maskless bearded bitch was in the fucking dollar store and whatever. It was just another Wednesday or Tuesday, whatever it was. But I refused to get a buggy because I'm a dumbass and I'm packing all kinds of shit in my arms and I bought a trash can to

put dog food in so I've just put all my other shit in the trash can I'm packing the trash can around and I fit the trash can down six feet back from the woman who's checking out and when she gets done I go up and put the stuff that's in my hands on the counter and when i turn around to go but get go back and get my trash can that's got the rest of my shit in it old bearded bitch with no mask is standing right by the trash can and so i say can you can you step back please i ain't gonna argue with him about a mask but i'm not gonna approach this bastard yeah he's like oh yeah okay And he does walk back and I get it. Well, by the time I get out to my car and get my shit in the back of my car

and I open my door and I'm trying to get the dog into the other seat so I can get in my car, he's already in his Jeep, this big SUV, and he's, I guess, told his girlfriend or the woman driving the Jeep and they've got the window down and they speed past me yelling at me about my double

masking oh my fuck yo man hey will you please tell me that they cranked up uh billy squires the stroke they had a big trump pence sticker and i mean my adrenaline was already going i was already like pissed and shaking damn near because just having to talk to this man i only deal with him and i'm getting paid to deal with at this point i don't fucking deal with these motherfuckers and i was already like i had to speak to this man who didn't have a mask on that was troubling enough and now his his woman is screaming at me through the fucking window and what am I supposed to do I'm just standing in the parking lot

like a fucking dumbass wearing six masks getting yelled at for a newspaper for speak your peace speak enough speak your peace here we got a couple this week here tell us if it was worth it, Tom. Let me just pull them up here.

Right quick. We'll start with to the man in Jenkins who's threatening to burn me out and rob me and things of that nature. I want you to know my sound box is in a DVR and that everything you say is being recorded now you have a nice life if that's possible i love things of that nature things of that nature rob rob me burn me out things of that nature talk about hypocrisy pel Pelosi and her bunch call for defunding our police, but now she wants more police protection for herself.

And then in the media's way of Marxism, they want to cause division in this country. I've been saying it. Jake Tapper, Marxist. Look at him. Yo, Marxism has just been the word where, like, you don't have to know what it is but you can just project any bad feeling you have about your perceived enemies into that word to

just throw that shit around people yeah people use it more than the word communism at this point because like cultural marcus marxism has become like this right wing talking point and so they use it more than they use the word communism yeah I would like to say there are unwritten rules in business when someone has something on you they are going to use that on you

then they won't bring it up but they'll look you straight in the eyeball and say I'll nail your hand into a wall if you want me to because I've got the goods on you and I've got the film on you too. That's the way it is with Biden and his boy. When he goes to sit down in front of China's president or Putin, they're going to look him in the eye and say,

we can publish this with your approval when we were giving your boy this money. So when you're looking me in the eye just keep that in mind i'm sure the negotiations will work a lot better that way it's worked that way for me for 41 years i've seen it in both the federal and state governments that's an unwritten rule but it's there something to chew on something to chew on as you enter your weekend unwritten rule i saw on the news they want you to wear as many as three of those masks at a time tanya this goes out to you yeah in case you're coming to check to see if we're wearing them or not i live in the head of a holler where a lot of other people live.

The farther up the holler you get, the meaner the people are. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case you come and check. Oh my god. Last one. Y'all ready for it? Yeah. It goes deep. Are y'all there?

Yeah, we're here, baby. Yeah, we're here. Sorry for a little bit. I'll fizzle up for a second. You can kiss our America goodbye. Our nation was created by the people and for the people, but our nation has been stolen from the American people by what I call the Democrat destroyers.

stolen from the American people by what I call the Democrat destroyers. When Trump was in office, he made America great again. He gave the American people hope again from what the Democrats had destroyed under when Obama was in office. America cannot stand under the Democrats' evil policies. You can mark it down in the next four years under the Democrats, this nation will sink like a rock. The demon-crats will stop at nothing to destroy our nation, our freedom, and decency.

The demon-crats. The American people knew this. That is why we voted for Trump. No person in their right mind would want to go back to the misery and suffering that the Democrats put us through. America was a once great nation, but the Democrats destroyed it. Thank you. It reminds me. There was like a tweet this week from one of those libs like Amy Siskind or something.

She said, oh, yeah, it's remarkable how different life feels less than three weeks later. And it's like, these MAGA people think the same way. And it's just really fascinating because my life is literally the exact same materially from 2010 to 2021 over the course of three different presidential administration or three different presidential administrations no change you know it's like but it's like i don't know

it's just fascinating like the democrats literally no spike in the minimum wage yeah no you know what i mean like quite literally think about that think about how much our country's just shifted in like tone and mood and culture and the animus toward one another and all that you know all the much territory and then consider how federal policy has moved at a glacial pace i'll tell you what i'll tell you i don't want to get too far ahead of myself because like I said I ain't watched it yet you tell us what time it could be that Britney Spears started this whole trajectory yeah

I think we're in a new epoch when she shaved it all off I think Adam Curtis could make a case for that he probably will when she wore that plaid miniskirt at the ripe age of like 14 and everybody was drooling over it, we took a bad turn then. Slept into another dimension, yeah.

Been bad news ever since. She should have thought twice about that before appropriating my Scotch-Irish heritage and her little sexy vid. That's all I have to say about that. Well, that about covers it for the week. I had a tribute to make, two tributes to make, actually. Letcher County banjo legend Lee Sexton passed last night. He was a...

Yeah. Many people say he was kind of the main connection or connecting link between bluegrass and old time music. He was very influential. So, rest in peace Lee.

And then... Whoa, mule in the sky! And then, this is to really tear up Tom I really hate to break the news to you like this Tom why are you here Go ahead I can't get much lower Well Our old

Whitesburg is the Kevin Bacon of small towns because anytime you watch 60 minutes there's electric county native on there um but he also listened to uh no go ahead i'm sorry i was gonna say he also did a lot of commercials and stuff i mean he was um they called him in this article the michael jordan jordan of voice narration so um yeah like all those direct tv commercials

yeah but the football commercials and then like i think he might have even done some of those like 80s style disaster in the world type yeah yeah but uh but yeah he uh man i hate to hear that i think it's uh jim told me a good story one time about rob got his start as the uh ap bureau chief in nadi sababa ethiopia during haile selassie's reign and i just think about that all the time this hillbilly just covering like the deity of rastafarianism damn well pour one out be the voice 60 minutes yeah pour one out Pour one out for two Letcher County Legends And pour some out For us we're also Letcher County
