Okay, this ain't text is The if you're not if you're gonna play in Texas you gotta have a fiddle in the band that lead guitar is hard but not for a Louisiana man, why'd they say that? No, no, we're just saying that Louisiana men are the best guitar players Perhaps but another thing it might be there might have just been trying to fit a little scheme That lead guitar is on but not for none of them for Louisiana. What do you mean Alabama? What?

Is this am I having a stroke? This feels like a stroke conversation Like we just threw out a bunch of states and talked about Fiddles, but what was the origin of this? I feel like I'm walking in a dark forest at night and I've gotten turned around. Have you, are you, do you have a boutique nitrous habit? Is that what it is? Yeah, I do.

I have a boutique nitrous habit. That's so wild. There's like a jacked gym guy plug that gets celebs boutique nitrous nitrous Boutique how's that even work? I mean, I'm not initiating the nitrous thing and I'm not trying to downplay it. It's like a I Remember one time I said that like if you have a problem with pornography You'd also have a problem hot sauce and somebody rightfully called me out and said, you know, brains are weird,

we shouldn't think of it that way. I was like, you know, fair. Huh, I don't know. I think I disagree, brains aren't that weird. But the nitrous thing, do you just go to the dent, like you make a dental appointment and then they like wave you into like the special room and you just go back there and just hit it.

Yeah. That's how it works. I think so, yeah. Okay. Cause if you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have nitrous in- That's the key. The van.

You gotta have nitrous in the van. Lead guitar is hard, but not for a man that's hopped up on laughing. Yeah Uh-huh But that's not the case with Alabama Did I tell you I met Randy Owen one time who's Randy Owen the lead singer of Alabama? Oh He's fraternity brothers. Oh Me and Stavros Alias actually says that how you met him? I didn't meet him through Stav, no.

Did you meet him through your frat? For current days, I think. He came down and talked to you from, No, we had an annual gathering one time that he spoke at. And I think I did some lame shit, like try to give him the handshake or something like that. Oh.

What did he do? I don't touch hands He actually has a posh English accent you wouldn't think I don't touch hands no I'd like to I'd prefer not and prefer not I mean a bit of a bit of a Make it you know like a pound perhaps we could do that. I'm going to find you and I will kill you Perhaps we could do that. I'm going to find you and I will kill you. He talks like Liam Neeson.

I'll find you. I'm going to find you and I'm going to take it slow. Slowly. So if you're out there and you're thinking to yourself, man, the people that sang, rolling down the backwoods, Tennessee byway. The Fugees didn't sing that. It's not the Fugees. That's not the food is that's not the food you know but all the members of Alabama are

actually I'm rolling down the backwoods and I'm going to find you and I'm going to take it slow I'm going to take it slow I I might find you. And if I do. And if I do. You know what that means. You know what that means. Alabama songs. What did they sing? List of songs. Song. Play me some old mountain music. Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth. Song song of the sun. Gone with the wind ain't nobody looking back again. No not again. No not again. Cotton on the roadside, cotton in the ditch. We all picked cotton but we never got rich. Daddy was a veteran a southern democrat he thought they ought to get rich man to vote like that vote like that haha

haha how you gonna get a rich man to vote like that haha how you gonna get a fucking rich man to vote like that haha come on bobby it's state secrets. It's state secrets. Oh god damn it.

Was that song trying to rehabilitate FDR? Mr. Roosevelt's a gonna save us all. Mr. Roosevelt's gonna save us all. I'll find you but Mr. Roosevelt might find you first That if he does he'll he'll get you and put you on his little wheelchair and Will you around did you ever see the video? You know like how those like posh Northeast families would like Dress the young boys up like little girls when they were younger

No, what's that practice column? What you've never seen the pictures FDR dressed up as a little girl as a kid? I think I have none that you mentioned it FDR practice though girls attire. I guess a cultural I Love this. We've already gotten five minutes. This is great. And we've not I love our new era of never talking about the election ever again We should actually even after the election. We should just never talk about it ever again It's just as big blank space. There's FDR as a little boy Well, technically as a little girl. Well Traditionally, yes, is it just that youth was feminized back then like everybody was a girl. Why did they yeah, what is the?

Research on them. What's the deal? Why nobody cared when FDR wore a dress? Why nobody cared? Yeah, well for one that's the is that like probably for one He was two years old in this picture, then they didn't have social media. That's why. It wasn't on the TL. They had, they had. The way they teed that up was like. Right, like why was it into bigger controversy?

Okay, well first of all, he was not yet FDR. Right. Yeah, he was not yet the president. Second of all, there was no such thing as a timeline. Social convention of all, there was no such thing as a timeline. Yeah. Social Convention of 18, this is the only answer I've been able to find on this. Social Convention of 1884, when FDR was photographed at age two and a half,

dictated that boys wore dresses until age six or seven, also the time of their first haircut. Franklin's outfit was considered gender neutral. It's really a story of what happened to neutral clothing says Paletti I guess. Oh so is this like one of those things where like um the British accent was actually closer to the American Southern accent it's just that over time it became more British. I guess same thing with a dress It was actually more gender neutral, but over time it became more feminized

It says for centuries children wore dainty white dresses up to the age of six Well, it does make sense because I feel like in olden times men wore like tunics. Mm-hmm. That's true a tunic yeah, there's a you know, I guess in the Yeah, there's a you know, I guess in the In the Celtic tradition you'd wear kilts or whatever. What the fuck is this shit? My balls are I don't like this I don't like I wear pants. No What would you rather have on the bottom about covering up here? It's a skirt or a dress. What? Yeah What would you do underneath? Nothing nothing you put you you would do the full kelp

Maybe I would do pants underneath. I would hats I would do pants and tights and shorts I do back or shorts. I would probably do Like motorcycle biker. Yeah, like a bike riders. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I would probably do tights On top of that. I probably have some Levi pants and on top of that. I probably have some cutoff shorts And on top of where all the bottom I would You would just wait you just walk around wearing several layers on the bottom. I have long John underwear thermal underwear key and in certain clim. And then I put a dress over that.

Okay. And then I would probably. What are you topping all this off with? Chaps. Chaps. I'm gonna do chaps over the dress. Interesting, okay. You got all your bases covered then.

Yeah. You're ready for literally any situation. Any situation. Yeah. I just like my, I just have such bad crotch rot from sweating so bad. From our 19 layers of urine. Yeah, we're gonna have to amputate you

from the waist down. We have to cut everything off. Are you gonna bring back the tradition of 90 white dresses up to the age of six? Well, is there a name for that? What's the name of the tradition? Let's see I

Will find you No, you listen to me. I'll find you sir You you think you can take my daughter my son just because he wears a dress at the age of five But I will find you and I might even wears a dress at the age of five. But I will find you and I might even some few in the four. I might give you a purple notebook and then slap your balls. This is like Liam Neeson, but he's a professor and he just goes around doing ball tags on the people that kidnapped hisyear-old son that he put in a dress because it was

The custom he was trying to bring back the custom. Yeah Yeah That's pretty cool that It's just it just was dresses were gender neutral up until the age of six and that's when that's when things became gendered It didn't have some weird name like trotting or something. What is frotting? It's frotting and the thing frotting fraud, I think that's when you like fronting I think Friday just when you're doing mutual masturbation and like

Get like a little pre come on your hands Pre come on the practice of touching or rubbing against the clothes body I didn't even see that, Tim. Pre-com on your hands. The practice of touching or rubbing against the clothes body. Oh, that's what it is. Of another person in a crowd as a means of obtaining sexual gratification. Okay. So that's like the people who are like on the subway

like rub their shit on you. Yes, they do. That's what that is. I will find you and I'll rub my shit on you. I used to. I'll find you and I'll rub my shit on you. I used to Do it do I'll find you and I'll hump. I'll dry hump your leg until completion Doubly so if you've got any opinions about me dressing my five-year-old son as a little girl It's called fraughtage

It's called fraughtage. You see called frottage you see. Yes I've written many country classics including play me some old mountain music. If you're gonna play in Texas you better be ready to do some frottage. But my favorite pastime yes of course is frottage. Dry humping for the uninitiated. So it's Liam Neeson and he's a professor and his son is five and he dresses him in dresses and he goes to Texas to sing in his band Alabama but their song's actually Randy Owen.

I love this. It's heritage, it's not hate. That Confederate flag you see well No different from our family crest What it's just really incredible stuff really Man What else is going on? well, I

went on a deep dive of the Reagan Australian break dancer is there more to it do more to it than meets the eye I Feel like it was made in a lab to like punch all the buttons That I personally find fascinating and fun. Really?

Well, there's so many different layers to it. I wrote them out in a note app note, a note app note. Let's see. Okay, there's some, let's peel back the layers here. So as you all know, Reagan Rachel gun, that's her real name So that Reagan's not just some big girl name she came up with Reagan Okay, uh-huh. Like have we considered another dimension of this?

Ronald Wilson Reagan of this. Ronald Wilson Reagan. She's a big fan of Reagan. Ronald Reagan. 666. Think about it. RON, ALD, six letters. That's true. Wilson, six letters. Reagan, six letters. Six letters. Ronald. I bring that up because I feel like, especially in light of like the Olympics closing ceremony last week, the vigilant citizen types are back. They are. They see the occult.

I know man, cause like, it's crazy, but have you ever thought about it, that like there's always an election, there's always Olympics during election year, man. Think about it man. It's kinda weird. The occult symbols come out. Yeah dude.

They, Lucifer the golden angel that fell from heaven. Mm-hmm. They were going nuts about that one. They were. Yeah. That was crazy. Lucifer the golden angel? The golden angel. I'd never heard of Lucifer referred to as the golden angel. That would be so embarrassing if you fell from heaven like you just tripped. Yeah. Oh fuck I fell so far What if it was that? I'm in hell. What if it was that banal? There's just a total accident. We got evil in the world a Guy like stubbed his toe and then like all of a sudden were a failed can we're in a failed condition as a species That's usually I think sometimes that's how things happen. I think you're right I think sometimes like I was thinking about this the other day like that Missionary remember that missionary that went to the like the Sentinelese island off of the coast of India just domed him

Yeah, like what if? Because I was reading the accounts of that Because he was trying to go to the island for several days before he got killed And so he would like pay people to take him. And I think those people wound up getting arrested because it's illegal to do that. But like. Also imagine being in the Centilles when like,

you constantly have to like fight off these assholes to just keep from getting like fucking dying from a cold. Exactly. Like, they like, from all understanding, they try to wave them off before they go to like that's what's funny about it He was he went to the island first The first time he went and apparently they just laughed at him a lot. They were just laughing at him Yeah, like oh man, they're laughing at me. I'll show them. I'm gonna convert them to cry. I'm gonna bring them the good news

Why well you won't be laughing when I give you the good news When you're when you're in heaven you're in heaven you won't be laughing at me you'll be thanking me But like yeah, we're gonna send you there first though Talk like New York yeah Well, essentially he's also a talk like New York guy. Yeah. But like what if it was just an accident and he just like slipped getting out of his boat or something and like snapped his neck

and then suddenly he's like, man, God damn it. No, I wanted to dome you. That's part of the fun here. Or maybe they didn't, maybe they didn't want to dome him. Maybe they were just like totally like, the fact that they were laughing at him says to me that they might've. They didn't take him as a threat. They didn't necessarily take dumb and maybe they were just like totally like the fact that they were laughing at him Says to me that they might have it take him as a threat. They Necessarily take it as a threat. Yeah, he's not gonna. He's not gonna make it sure. He's not gonna convert us to Christ

Yeah, he's not gonna do that. Yeah, buddy. Others have tried but Why are they so intent like here, here's my thing, okay? I used to not understand why everybody was like in a rush to breed the red heifer and convert the last people that haven't heard the good news to Christ. Because the scripture says everybody has to hear the good news before you can come back. Right.

Right, like I don't understand like trying to take an active role or like somebody like reads that and is like, that's my calling. That's my calling. Actually, here's how I fit in like the grand narrative of the world. I have to be the last person to preach the gospel to the last heathens,

which are these Sentinelese like archers. The fact that the Sentinelese archers know that they need to kill people that come to the island doesn't it kind of Tell you that they've already heard the good words and they round about one. They've rejected it They've decided it's not for them or what if they're like man, we really could give this economist shot in the arm Let's just start wearing in 95 masks and just welcoming these missionaries. Oh Good news, huh? Okay. well, you thought about buying something from our gift shop? Yeah, I'll convert to Christianity

if you buy some of our tchotchkes. I don't know. That seems to get kind of like a hedge. Like Jesus can't come back until everybody's heard the good news. Yeah. That's constantly, like you're, the problem with that is that you're constantly gonna have to,

every time someone's born, because a baby. That's true, they're born every. Every baby, if you really want Jesus, I guess this is the thing, if you really want Jesus to come back, you're gonna have to stop people having kids, because every time a baby is. Which is not what they wanna do. Which is not what they wanna do, right. They want people having kids. Yes, exactly, you're gonna have to stop people having kids because every time a baby is- Which is not what they wanna do. Which is not what they wanna do, right.

They want people having kids. Yes, exactly. Because every time a baby is born, that's another person who's not heard the good news up until like the age of two or three. Also, you mean to tell me that nobody that's ever died, some, there's been probably many people that died not even knowing anything about Christianity.

Not knowing the good news. You know, some dude hanging out in Burma, like, stubs his toe, falls down a hill, dies. He didn't hear the good news. How does that work then? Is that just like, is it kind of like when you're on a pinball? What if the news is pretty average too? We can call it the good news, but what if it's like, honestly, just on its face? Yeah, it's about four inches. Never dying.

Five inches. Like never dying and having to spend eternity in Trump Tower, essentially. Just if we're going by what it sounds like. What they've build it to us. Walls of gold, streets of gold, you know what I mean? And constantly having to sing and worship. I don't like, I don't like, listen.

You were never into praising worship? Can I tell you something? Yeah? I never really liked praise and worship that much. Not for like, not for any sort of, like I didn't love God or anything like that. Just was never a skits guy. Oh dude, sorry.

You a skits guy? I did some skits. You did? I hate to admit it. I did some skits. You did? I hate to admit it. I did some skits. You want to tell me about? I mean- You want to unburden yourself? I probably played the Sentinelese heathen who hadn't heard the good news. Oh, that's fine. That's fine. That's okay. Wait, wait a second That seems kind of fucked up. Hold on a second. It's kind of wrong. What did you- how'd you dress up for this? Is there footage of you doing Sentinelese fights somewhere? What did you, how'd you dress up for this?

Is there footage of you doing Sentinel Lee's face somewhere? Did you run? I will find the footage if you do it. I will find the footage. Which brings me back to those Israeli freaks and their fucking red hair, did you see where they're getting closer? They are getting closer. Yeah.

Look, they can try all they want But until they they have it's like I said, it's like a pinball machine You have to like light it up with just the right configuration of points to go fucking Turbo mode or whatever and that's when God comes back So if you really want God come back, you're gonna have to stop all births globally for at least five years because like five. And deaths. And deaths. Well, but we're forgetting the people that have,

if people have died not hearing the good news. Dog, that is true. You're gonna have to stop all births and all deaths. We're just gonna have to get into a stasis, like a healthy stasis. And then that's when we can punch the good news button and everybody hears the good news. Exactly, you've heard the good news button. And then that's when we can punch the good news button and everybody hears the good news Exactly, you've heard the good news button and then that's when God came in and but there's the needle

You have to thread you also have to have the red heifer. Well, here's what I was thinking about That's a lot of fucking checks. You have to what if they got the red heifer and Then just at the bottom like bottom left hoof or whatever You see one single white hair. Oh They look over each other like listen this is as good as we can do let's just take a little nail polish. You think we can. You know the Bible was rife with stories of people trying to trick God like that. Yes.

You know what I mean? They love to try to trick God. Which is another point in the column for that we're just way smarter than our forebears were mm-hmm that like they believed in an omnipotent all-knowing God that they thought they could They could over on You know And in fairness the book of Job it seems like God kind of likes to shoot dice and like hang out with the boys and stuff So maybe he could get gotten away Okay, so you're saying that like God is is with Satan for Job's life did but I always thought that

the reason why he did that was because he was like playing trying to find acceptance well he was community there's that you kind of lonely being on everything I see I thought it was because he was playing with house money and he knew he'd win like it's like might have been in diving on how dumb Satan is more than like God. Like, okay, I think I can beat God in a dice game, but he kind of did though. True. God got in hawk to the devil's eye. You considered Job.

I'm trying to think all the times people try to trick God. Like when Cain killed Abel. of times God people try to trick God like Like when Cain killed Abel Then he tried to trick I like no I didn't do it like remember cuz yeah, God goes to Cain. He says Or is it able I can't remember which one killed which one killed who Cain killed Abel. I'm pretty sure Cain killed Abel Yes, he did because Everybody in Kentucky wants to name their kid Cain because everybody in East Kentucky wants to name their kid Kane you know what I mean? It's badass man. Well I think in the Mormon religion I think that they said all African races came from Kane. That's how racist it is. Okay so the guy that

that's what they're saying is that like people of color will kill their brothers. Pretty much yeah. Okay. But I think God goes to Kane and he's like yo Abel's dead What the fuck what happened? What happened, bro? Imagine God asks you what happened and you're like Okay, I could lie But he's not gonna believe it, but he already knows but here's the thing too though You can understand Kane and they were only a few generations removed from the first people like Adam and Eve had to be dumb as hell Like just I mean like

Why do people look different You know what I mean? Yeah, so they weren't bright to begin with that's true, but you're saying Just by virtue of being not the first generation I'd say we gotta cut him some slack eat that the human brain hadn't they were pretty dumb. Yeah, it's still in its infancy So no wonder they thought they could trick God. Yeah, but Cain was probably still going around like frothing things Yeah, I just see like a dog humping a pillow or something. Humping trees and rocks, his dead brother. Newly deceased brother. What if that's the thing, God goes and he's like,

he does it like an SVU episode, he's like, Kane, autopsy came back, there's semen in your brother's ass. How did the semen get there? Furthermore, it's a DNA match to you What's DNA Something nucleic acid signs of struggle around the neck and the head and Blunt force trauma to the head and we found semen in his ass.

Do you care to explain that? He's like, it was the Nephilim. Remember like people when, did you ever know like your buddies got obsessed with Nephilim? Yeah, I feel like I get obsessed with them sometimes. Yeah, like were they like a race of like half angel, half you like? They were, yeah. Created from like when, I guess guys like Kane. Had sex with angels?

Well, yeah. Pretty rough. Rough stuff. Pretty rough stuff, but it would be pretty tight. I would have sex with an angel if I could, yeah. Yeah, I gotta say that's about one time at least one You just like just Swoop up into the heavens and like a coil like sort of entwined that just uh-huh

How do you talk to the night just blares over the celestial loudspeakers? Yeah Have we done this bit before and then you have a Nephilim like God is um Vincent D'Onofrio's character and then like Satan is iced tea and they're like solving murders the first murders the first murder the first murders that's what you could call it the first murder the first murder though then they get to like eventually they've been doing this a couple of thousand years and then like it hits home for God the crucifixion it's like man and he's like Tesla I got too much skin in the game this is my only begotten son he He was 900 years old.

I'm trying to do an Ice-T impersonation. I should say, yeah. Who would want to kill a 900 year old? Yes. That's pretty good. Ice-T is just like smoother Mike Tyson. You know what I mean? Dude, that would be a great show, actually.

I'd watch the first murders. The first murders. It was like, Vincent Dinaffre on ISD is God. Satan, Satan. They're solving the first murders. Satan's all time planting evidence. Like trying to, you know. That's the OG trickster God just.

I guess back then it would be apples. He would be planting forbidden apples on people. Yeah, in order to stay in business he would be trying to like seduce people into committing murders. I just like riding around God solving these murders, you know what I mean? He's just happy to be involved. And he just knows that like for some reason the earliest humans love Like would do crazy things for a for Apple a very mid fruit by the way like not even a top-tier fruit I'm like 90% we sure we've done this The first murder

That's one of those things like you know that little Wayne's so prolific that like He doesn't know like most of his own lyrics and still he did a well-known song. I mean, maybe that's what Right. Yeah, we're just that prolific I'll do anything to avoid talking about the election even if that means recycling We do have to talk about one item I think is no It's gonna fly a little close to the Sun, but ultimately it's not gonna get there Please know and it is there's a new dim weaponization Their weaponization their weaponizing Mayo culture for votes now

Are they I've been put dude I have been on did you unplug people told me close ones to my close people to my life What is that? What phrase is close people to my life what is that what phrase is close people to my life what is it that's one of those early that's like you sound like you've committed an earth one of the first murders the human brain was two thousand years ago those close people to my life. You mean your friends and family, your loved one? Yes, those people. No, no, no. The close people to my life.

The fuzzy old of my life have convinced me I need to lock off, that I'm very unwell, and the election is making me very unwell. Well, this is just- I regret everything I said in the last eight weeks episode, I'm really sorry everybody for making you Deeply disturbed What's the items Tell me what the mayor Well

You know come when Tim Walton sat down took for a little discussion. Uh huh. About mayo. Well, no, he said that the spiciest Minnesota gets is black pepper. And he does, he says like, my family we eat white guy tacos.

Oh, white guy tacos. And just ground beef and cheese and she's like anything else is I'm pretty much just ground beef and cheese So it's We've reached a new level Mm-hmm the weaponization of white corniness, it's harkening back to Beer helping white guys dance since, you know what I mean? Oh yeah, the posters you see in a guy's man cave.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, which is gonna feel refreshing after nine years of old white guys just need to take several seats and die and all that stuff. Tim Walts says, well maybe we can just be lame, you know? People are gonna eat that up. They are gonna eat that up.

Minnesota should be noted to produce prints, so you can't say. And now Josh Hart did not learn. And Bob Dylan. And Bob Dylan. Interesting trio of, you know. The future president of the United States. The future president of the United States the future president of the United States and the past president of the United President of fun. Yeah, so so basically you're telling me

I'm shuddering to even say here's the here's about to say okay. You're telling me that this is an election over heartland values. This is becoming a referendum over heartland values. I'll tell you what, I'm going to just describe for folks what I'm saying right now. You know when Mark Ruffalo becomes the Hulk, that's what's happening right here right now. Your clothes are ripping. That's what's happening right here right now. Mm-hmm your clothes are ripping That's what mine are you hear that blood vessel on your forehead is just You thought I was gonna let you get through this with just the first murders, didn't you? How raw you are look I'm serious I see a vein on your throat Okay, let's talk about Reagan

Okay, dude the funny thing about Reagan is that she is a 36 year old PhD student of breakdancing I got this one. And things may be different down there, but here, when I hear that, that is tantamount to somebody saying, so you spent $200,000 on a poetry degree. You know? I don't know, maybe there is a need for that

in the Australian workforce. I don't know there is a need for that in the Australian workforce I don't know. I'm not gonna say mm-hmm not for me to say But it is certainly an interesting discipline for somebody to Especially when you got Michael Rappaport out there True in between cheerleading for genocide. We forget that he is a historian of the five elements Dude, that is true as you know folks are pointing out but yeah it seems like it's a saturated field well it would seem to me that um what are you adding to the discipline I guess it's my question right we have her thesis you want to

read her dissertation just tell me the name of her I don't know if I have the name but I do have an excerpt from it. Hold on, let's see if I can find it. Breaking For A Mate. I'm just breaking for a mate. I'm just breaking. I didn't even get that till just now. It's just a performance piece.

It's not even like a written dissertation. That's why I'm breaking for a mate. I'm just breaking for a night well, the thing is that like what people what drove people crazy was that um, I think that like a Australian I think that some like Australian Breakdancing officials like some body official body of breakdancing sir Okay, and then maybe it was like the Australian delegation at large Like the whole fucking thing just said that like she was having a go at it

And that's what really pissed people off they were like she's having a go I mean, that's like a Australian saying she's having a guy. She's having a go. Yeah, she's you know Waiting for a month. She was breaking for a night and having a go on it. She's, you know, waiting for her mic. She was breaking for her mic and having a go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that is, I think, what drew the ire of the hip hop community. That's what drew the ire of people, yes. Having a go, Ray Gunn.

I wanna see who said that, who said having a go. Having, she's having a go? He's having a guy? So she, you know, oh wait, I'm gonna look up the title of her dissertation. Okay? Reagan Dissertation. What was pissing people off was that in her dissertation she implied that breakdancing should not be an Olympic sport because she said it would dilute the cultural roots of it,

but then she went and participated. And further than that. In the cultural sport. But also to the other thing, it's like, I think Felix pointed this out, some other people pointed this out, but everybody that was like bagging on her or whatever, it's like, did you really have strong opinions

about break dancing before that? Or are we just kind of conditioned to dollar pile on people when they're doing dumb things? This is why I love this so much. Every element of this was created in a lab to just, it just massages all the fun parts of my brain. Because, let's see, I can't find the title Well, it just massages all the fun parts of my brain because Let's see, I can't find the title of the dissertation but we I do have this this is the abstract

This thesis critically interrogates how masculinist practices of breakdancing offers a site for the transgression of gendered norms Drawing on my own experiences as a female within the male dominated breakdancing scene in Sydney First as a spectator then as an active crew member this thesis questions why so few female What's the name of her crew? I? Don't know dude, but I did watch a video earlier or for getting her ass handed to her by like a child literally a child she did a competition against a child and This child is way better than her like her her. I don't know anything about breakdancing really

other than like other than you thought about like Shaving your head and put carnauba wax on it and just getting an unfair And then getting disqualified from the Olympics for performance and dancing drugs Imagine if you did do the head twisting thing with like our current Situation and you stand up and all you remain What you were clinging to for cover it's just on the ground on the cardboard box Like you just swept up after a shitting dog. I don't really know, I do know, people feel very strongly about this,

and I know this for a fact, this was the basis of an old Trillbillies bit, the Woke Reach, or the Woke Strawman, one of the two. But like, I've told this story before, but like I was at a bar one time, and a guy did the worm worm and got called out for it Creating worm culture. Yeah Feel very strongly about cultural appropriation of breakdancing and that's that's one element. That's one layer that's been revealed here

Well, I feel like okay, even if we want to take like a 1970s like 80s boom-bap, New York hip-hop approach to this Ultimately hip-hop is about the battle battling like MC DJing breakdancing, whatever and if you are corny like that, like it just sorts itself out, but there's no sense of like You just came and tried and like somebody beat you. Right. That didn't, I like. It's natural selection.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think what people are mad about is they allege that she basically cheated her way into it or I guess because of her privilege, she was able to get there when other better break dancers weren't able to get there. There's all this discourse too. Right, like basically being part of the academy

gave her access to the Australian Federation who probably just hadn't, isn't really invested in break dancing at this point. Probably no different than if me and you went to like Moldova and wanted to be fencers. You know what I mean? Got citizenship and then like we're gonna be fen... You can rise to the top of the pack in a small pond. Just because there's not probably maybe and apologies if there's like a robust fencing community in Moldova.

But like if there isn't then that's maybe a niche like a couple schmucks like us could do, you know? It seems like the consensus is that there is a pretty good breakdancing community in the Oceania region. Right, I'm not disputing that. What I'm saying though is that like, yeah, like some of those people might think it's corny or like fake or something to like go compete in the Olympics in breaking or whatever. Like it's like you're selling out or something like that. This does, by pointing this out yesterday,

this does kind of get at an epistemological problem with the Olympics, which is that they claim to be the best in the world, but how can you know without, you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, if not every single person in the world competes? Right, we all have to be Olympians to get to the bottom of this,

and every Olympiad needs to last 17 years for all of us to compete. And then we have to stop births and deaths and breed a red heifer. Basically, here's what's gonna have to happen. If we're gonna get this ship right, we all have to become athletes. Become Olympians.

Not die. Not die. Not reproduce. Not have sex. We just have to be and train and compete. One full red heifer without a single white hair. Without a single white hair. Imagine if you're that red heifer

and you're like, you start to go gray. You're starting to gray a little bit. You're like, oh fuck. Oh you're starting to gray a little bit you're like Oh fuck I was supposed to usher in the second the millennial rain Fuck I thought I was gonna be the guy now. They're just gonna kill me and eat me for hamburgers Now I'm just now I'm just hamburgers. His friends are like, I don't know, I think the gray looks good on you. It makes you look distinguished.

You don't understand. I'm supposed to be the red heifer of the apocalypse. I can't be going gray as the red heifer of the apocalypse. Okay, let me continue reading this. Good God. Why few female participants engage in this creative space and how break dancing might be the space to displace and deterritorialize gender.

I use analytic auto ethnography and interviews with scene members in collaboration with theoretical frameworks offered by Deleuze and Gattari, Butler, Bourdieu, and other feminist and prostructuralist philosophers to critically examine how the capacities of bodies are constituted and shaped in Sydney's breakdancing scene. She said bodies. Bodies and spaces.

She brought bodies and spaces into breakdancing. And to also locate the potentiality for moments of transgression. In other words, I conceptualize the breaking body as not a, quote, body constituted through regulations and assumptions, but as an assemblage open to new rhizomatic connections. Ha ha ha ha! Breaking is just a card to me, dude. Ha ha ha ha! That's a bit... Bodies and spaces and rhizomatic.

Rhizomatic connections. What does that mean? That's a genuine R. I s o R h like rhizomes in the cell rhizomes, okay, which I was always one of my favorite parts of the cell Yeah, I was why did why have you been I was more of a mitochondria You were more of a mitochondria the powerhouse of the cell Yeah, was it it never just felt it more cute when I go to run and like your side aches when you're out of shape I was like, that's my mitochondria act enough again I'm not dying. It's just my mitochondria act enough. Do we have any big? vacuole

Any vacuole heads in the crash? I guess a rhizome is not part of a cell. What the fuck was I thinking? I thought a rhizome was part of a cell What is a rhizome part of? In botany and dendrology a rhizome is a modified subterranean plant stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes Oh, here's where here's where we're getting confused. Okay Rhizome is part of the the plant cellular structure not the human cellular structure No, I think rhizome is like a I the plant cellular structure, not the human cellular structure. No, I think rhizome is like a, I think it's like, if I'm trying to, I think that academics have appropriated the term rhizome

to mean like connection. Yeah. So like, I think when I try to look at the world from the viewpoint of an academic, like I think that they see the world as like a series of like connections and networks and intersections and rhizomes Okay roots and systems like a root system. I guess and then at the top of rose grasses from the concrete Exactly, and there you go rhizomatic. I could have sworn spaces and bodies

Of course I Feel so stupid I thought a rising was a part of a cell Well in fairness, I did too I used to hang out at this anarchist collective in Austin called the rhizome collective really and then it got raided by the FBI They did not turn me out or turn me in That no they didn't turn you out I wasn't there that day what I heard it was bad. Mm. Damn. Where were you? That isn't but well does it it makes it sound like I was

I heard it was bad. Also, they didn't get busted until I showed up. Oh, god. Breaking is a space that embraces difference, whereby the rituals of the dance not only augment its capacity to de-territorialize the body, but also facilitate new possibilities for performativities beyond the confines of dominant modes of thought and normative gender construction.

That's one sentence. Consequently. And that needs, I'm gonna tell you something, I need something to bust it up, perhaps a semi-colon or at least one of those big dashes. Was that an M dash? M dash, yeah. I like those better,

cause there's no real rules for it. Yes, I like an M dash. You spike you a semi-colon, you better know what you're doing. It's so true, dude. It's so true. Consequently, this thesis attempts to contribute to what I perceive as a significant gap in scholarship on hip-hop breakdancing and Autoethnographic explorations of Duluth's guitar in theory

Well, I've always that's what's missing from hip-hop Yeah, that's a that's a yeah, I love little Wayne's no ceilings, but What's missing from it for making a classic is what the professor's just said there. That's right It seems to me like this this is representative of like several different things. Okay, so I don't I'm sure everybody's watched the video of her Performing at the Olympics she did the kangaroo hop one of my favorite comments I saw someone on Twitter that were there was they were like she did the sprinkler she did the dinosaur she did the kangaroo hop it was almost like um she did no growth she did a no-growth she did a you did the

sprinkler you did the dinosaur? The kangaroo hot being the no growth well breaking yes exactly I think what what what it was I saw this thing where she said um she knew she couldn't score high on the power moves Like the more physically demanding stuff. I'm going into the company. She is 36 I I'm a 36 year old and I could tell you that like I probably can't break down I can't do the worm as good as I used to oh man. No, I'm telling you I'll play an hour of tennis and I'd have to ask my knees for three days Yeah, but then so that's why she did the whimsical things like the kangaroo hop She thought that she could get scored higher on creativity and which is honestly

Everything else true is whimsical Yes, dude. They can't just call something what it is It's got to have an ie at the end of it or an er at the end of it. That's right even soccer I've learned has a whimsical Australian origin like sockie or something. It's short for association football So what do they call it there soccer? short for association football. So what do they call it there? Soccer. Us and Australia, the only two countries that call it soccer,

but it originates in Australia because they didn't say association, they shortened it to soccer. Soccer. Play a bit of the soccer. So like you can tell, it had like a whimsical Australian origin. You're right.

They tried to do, and people are roasting her for being whimsical. Yeah, that's just what they do. This podcast is pro-whimsy. Yeah, that's just what this podcast is pro whimsy. Yeah, that's just what they know that I Thought that kangaroo hop was kind of fun. People are thinking people are saying like is was she trolling? What what is she doing it intentionally to like? To critique the Olympics was it cringe cringe critique? Yeah There was there some sort of seventh dimensional chest to her

Thing there is a petition to hold her accountable, which is really So she is she gonna go before a board it's like Africa Bambada KRS one Like you know like the founding fathers Eric B and Rakeem Eric B and Rakim. And then like, they're gonna dole out a punishment. You know what I mean? Eric B for president, man. Eric B for president. They're gonna fucking send us

her to 30 years hard labor. Yeah. In the break dancing. Yeah, a court of your peers. The ultra magnetic MCs, and yeah, and now what the hip hop board needs is an injection of youth. We need leaders of the new school to come in there,

Busta Rhymes crew. Right, they're gonna send in sort of the 30 years of like getting copyright clearances. They're like, we don't wanna do all this paperwork, so you're gonna have to do it. You're gonna have to get copyright clearing of Earth, Wind, and Fires. Yeah, you're on sample clearing duty for the next 30 years

out of your own pocket for faking the funk on the biggest stage. But I'm a lonely grad student and then like a careless one just bangs the gavel and they dismiss themselves. It has been decided. It has been decided. I mean it's weird, it's like, okay, so there's the cultural appropriation thing, okay? There's, there, it's becoming a referendum on several things, on cultural appropriation, on the Olympics qualifying process,

and what gets included in Olympic sports in general. Yeah, which, as we kind of talked about this a little bit yesterday, it's like, they used to, like, philosophy used to be an Olympic sport. You know, they- Yeah, painting. Painting, and, you know, probably- I don't know why rodeo's not an Olympic sport, you know? Painting. Painting, and you know, probably. I don't know why rodeo's not an Olympic sport.

Really should be, honestly. Why the fuck is break dancing an Olympic sport, but not rodeo? Yeah. He sounded like JD Vance there. It's like, just kind of upset that this black and Puerto Rican art form is included, but not the rural white.

But to your point, yes, rodeo should be included in the Olympics, especially like, you know, like it started in Athens, you know? So naturally, the Olympics are gonna be a little light in the ass, you know what I mean? And so let's call it what it is, rodeo's a... You know, so naturally Olympics are gonna be a little light in the ass, you know what I mean? Right, yeah. And, so let's call it what it is, rodeo's a... It's very gay.

It's a little gay, you know what I mean? It's pretty gay. But couldn't you imagine like, like one of the sports been when they like put a dress on it like a little hog and put lips, you know what I mean? Like they rope it. Like who's gonna carry on the gold for that, you know? Right. Probably some guy named Dean from Hobbs. Well, it would at least balance, yes, exactly.

Like America's gonna dominate in rodeo, but like Russia has good rodeo, I'm pretty sure. There's like good rodeo in Russia, I'm pretty sure. I would like to know about cowboy cultures other places. Yeah, there's cowboy culture. Even the Aussies, the Aussies probably could compete in that. But the thing is, is you're gonna get someone who's a PhD grad who wrote a dissertation on rodeo

trying to think that they can. If they're gonna compete, it's gonna take the Australian Federation stepping up and being a little more diligent in their vetting. That's right. Honestly. That's true, man. Well, that's another layer to this, though,

because now it's also becoming a referendum on Australian breakdancing and Australians are pissed that this is what they are represented By when there's a on the national bus culture. I didn't mean to besmirch Folks in the Pacific and say there's no good breakdancing there when I said like it's a lower barrier to entry I'm just saying I can't see the Australian Federation probably focusing on that as much. And as such, you get some mediocrity slipping through. They're having people who are just having a go.

Having a go. Having a go. But just on the flip side of all this conversation. Do they say it like gar, like how they say nar, they say gar, having a gar. I think it's gotta have an a like the intrusive are requires an a Yeah, sorry. Anyway, you said on the flip side on the flip side the Olympics were At one juncture and like a like a showcase of amateurism Yeah

I was talking to somebody about this the other day like even they wouldn't even let NBA players play in basketball until like the eighties. I think I think like 88 something like that. I was, yeah, I was the first to play there. Why are you? I was one, but yeah, or eighties, whatever the summer Olympics would have been in the late eighties. Um, I was there. Yeah. So like, maybe it's a issue of amateurism. Maybe we need to actually say of the Olympics, hey, if you're a pro, you actually can't compete in this.

But if you're right up under a pro, you can't. I don't know, like, cause there is also, this is another layer. This, the Olympics have struggled with declining viewers. Yeah, this year's was, had to be a dog shit. Yeah, but this is one of the things that like brings more viewers in and gets more people interested in it again.

And so, they kind of benefit from this. And so, maybe you do want some sports that are a little more whimsical, that you get amateurs in. Well, now they've got three on three basketball Yeah, they do which the Dutch won this year in a in a twist. What can you believe it? I couldn't I would surmise that I could probably round up two to three

people If the Dutch if the Dutch are taking home the gold, I'm sorry I can get two guys from a pickup game and make a serious go at bronze. Yeah, well okay, this is another thing. They didn't have Rick Smits on the team, the flying Dutchman. He was in Alabama, he was playing.

He was touring with Alabama. Touring with Alabama, yeah. This is another thing though, it's like, it's a thing about like self-awareness Which is that like if you know that you're not gonna be the best out there Like why would you still go and perform like this on the national or the global stage? It's a lot of it's a lot of eighth dimensional chess calculations going on here Yeah, I'm gonna do this because I'm trying to raise awareness, but at the same time I'm recognizing my own deficiencies.

At the same time I'm also filling the blank whatever woke reach. Well that's the thing, is it also a troll? Okay, because now if you go to her Instagram, or just anywhere, she's like being like quote unquote online bullied. So now it becomes this whole other thing, this discourse on like piling on and online bullying.

Are we that expected to be online that we can't just, when I hear that, like I hate to be callous about it because I understand that happens. And especially with kids, kids are just, they live their life online and like, that's I guess a real thing, but it does bring you back to the Tyler the Creator. Right.

That's like, you can just not look at it. Just close your eyes. Well, that's's the thing she made a statement today or yesterday she made a statement yesterday where she was just like I'm being bullied and they're going after my family now okay I can't tell you something that is true though they are like going after her face going after her family. They are. The internet just made us a bunch of psychos hasn't it? It just made us a bunch.

It's just like the only place, it's the only place where we can get our pound of flesh like expeditiously. And like do people really care that much? Yeah, do you care that much? Who cares about the Olympics in general? Like tracking down her family members like, fuck you. Dude, it's like, it's, I think she was, she's kind of a modern Jesus. She died for our sins.

She died so the rest of the mediocre breakers of the world could just start breaking for a minute. For breaking for a minute. They're breaking for my for breaking for my breaking for my dude like I I think that she is of a specific personality type that we're seeing more and more of and it's I mean people have pointed out the dola's out comparison oh my god but like I do think there is something to that in the sense that I think that she is a personality type

that you see more and more of in the internet era, which is someone who intentionally goes out there and kind of makes an asset of themselves just to get the attention. Just to be the character. Just to be the main character, right. But I could be wrong. It's hard to say hard to read intentions into this person, but I'm hoping I'm just hoping her and Hawk to a

Girl can collaborate in some way. You know what I mean? Like this seems like they should they would get along I saw she threw out the first pitch at the Dodgers game the other day, which is kind of funny How do you how do you explain? I don't know, but as a hillbilly it made me proud in kind of the same way that... Well, the more that Haley Welch ascends, the better it is for us in general. Okay, okay. So I'm pro-Hawk tour. See, the thing is, is I posted this thing the other day, this was back in my old era when I was talking about politics The old days two weeks ago, I posted this thing about the video of Gavin Newsom

Going into a homeless encampment and clearing it with his own hands And first of all I had I know I just had some throwaway comment the fucking dumb thing went viral But I just had some throwaway comment like this is the darkest thing I've ever seen a politician to do and people are in my comments Like oh Hitler much That's not but anyways Just like a guy running for like the eighth district in like Connecticut or something You know, but like other also though. I had people that were like, oh well running for like the eighth district in like Connecticut or something, you know what I mean? But like other, also though I had people that were like, oh well if you think this is dark,

you've clearly never had to walk your kids next to someone who's overdosed or strung out or something. And so I was like, okay but like. Well, one, let me just tell you a couple of holes in your thing here. One, I don't have kids. Okay? One. Now one.

But I do have a little experience around drugs and the effects there. My point is, is why is it okay for us to- You've never walked past somebody strung out. Brother, I live in a place where I just, like I go to the grocery store and everybody in the grocery store strung out just shot Like like we just yeah, that's just life. Look listen, brother. You're preaching to the choir

That makes me bad that presumption of like dude if you spent like a day where I'm from you would like you You would maybe swallow a gun Seriously, you know If that if seeing somebody like on drugs on the street rattles you that bad. Mm-hmm You know, my point is why is it? Okay? Why is it bad for kids to see someone shrunk? And I mean it's bad in the sense that like that That's the world we live in it's very dark Yeah, but then like if you go to a Mets game and hock to a girl,

how do you explain hock to a to your kids? I mean, again, I'm not like, to be clear, one, I don't have kids, but two. Two, I don't have a hock to a girl. No. Yeah, but I don't, I don't know. Maybe that's a straw man. Did I just invent someone to get mad at?

I think I did. I think I just Did I just invent someone to get mad at? I think I did I think I just got someone invented someone to get mad at. You're mad at the guy who is upset about About the homeless people but not Hocktooth That person probably doesn't exist. I'm sure they do There's anybody can exist if you can dream them up so many different types out there. It's just so fucking bad It's a tapestry It's as long as this wide. That's true. Well, I had something I was gonna say about Reagan Reagan Reagan was it about cultural appropriation?

Academia it had been self-awareness Australia. I think I was trying to tie Think I was trying to tie, I think I was trying to tie the fallen golden angel loose for back to cultural appropriation. I was trying to thread that needle, I think. Satan, or the humans were culturally appropriating Satan by eating the apple. They were culturally appropriating evil.

Yeah, they were. That's what God said he came down He said no chief you're canceled you fucking and then the human said well, you just said chief That's also cultural appropriation. He's like I've not even invented the Native Americans yet calm down All we have are all we have are two anglos in a garden right now. It's so funny how growing up, they really did teach it to us like that. It's like two white people.

Two white people started in a garden. It's like white people didn't even know how to garden. Until we interacted with the Native Americans. Until people started getting grants to do it for the community. Yeah, all I've got is two people that look like a Flemish painting. All right.

So before you go throwing around charges like that, pal, at least know what exists so far. Oh, dear. Strangely though, I do think that the Mormons were ahead of the curb on that, because didn't they say that Jesus went and dwelled amongst the Mayans? Yeah, they said he went to Mexico, right? I guess so. He's got like an all-inclusive can coon resort vacation I Think his I think the more I think you're right. I think they did say Jesus came to North America, which is so fucking tight

Yeah Cuz like how did he get here did he teleport did he fly Did he just use traditional conventional transportation? I feel used dang American Airlines had been waiting for a while in Dallas probably The places will go to avoid Yeah, okay yeah okay white guy tacos white guy tacos yeah what did it did okay I gotta know a little bit more about the white guy I thought you might want to know you're gonna take the bait aren't you I'm curious but we're over an hour so if I start getting into it I can just hit stop but you can I can

always hit stop okay you if you say so but the why guy talk did I have to know did he mean on an actual tortilla or did he mean it like a bread no he meant like he meant like no no no no no He meant like the 10 old El Paso corn tortillas in a little sleeve for $1.99 in a grocer's shelf. With some ground beef browned up with a little, with a little Texas Pete. Stop saying it. Powdered, Old El Paso powder in there.

Stirred up. No, please. Hey, can I tell you what he's talking cold toppings brother. Oh my god. He's talking lettuce he's talking the worst tomatoes you've ever had. No dude store-bought tomatoes and cold lettuce. He's doing white guy tacos. I bet, let me tell you what I I bet it was a revelation when, remember when Old El Paso started putting out the corn taco shells that were like square as to hold the meat better. Yeah. But which in fairness when you bite into kind of spills on your shirt.

Yeah, so actually the OG way was the better more efficient. You know? Uh-huh. That's what he's talking about my friend. Dude I'm sorry for asking this is sucks. This sucks. And then do you want to know what madam vice president had to say about it? She's like she got in on the act she got in on the act she was ribbing him a little bit She said I might be the first vice president that's ever grown chili peppers. I did okay I did see that I did see that and she followed up with but she'll be alright at my house Tim We've got cantaloupe, too

We've got cantaloupe too, Tim. Ah. So I ask you, do you wanna keep going or do you wanna hit stop? I think we have to hit stop. This is, this sucks. Ah. Is there a bad taste in my mouth?

We've got cantaloupe too, Tim. Ah. I may be the only vice president to grow hot peppers. No, dude. This is satanic. Well, which brings me back to Lucifer the golden fallen angel, the ending ceremony of these Olympics that produced ray gun my friend and may have produced Tim Randy Owen Was the fruit was the apple in the

Garden of Eden not round was it like a square apple? I need to know there's couple sort of like the tortilla if that thing if that thing was a It's not depicted as a granny Smith. Mm-hmm. Okay, but if it had been one of those like more tart apples What a cheap thing to sell down the whole species over disgusting been a honey crisp or a Fiji. I Understand that a little bit more Probably fucking crab apple like you pick off a goddamn tree. God damn it, dude. I went to the doctor the other day

and they were like, are you depressed? They were like, nothing's wrong with you, are you depressed? And I was like, I'm not depressed, but I'm not exactly not depressed. I ain't gay, but I'm not exactly not gay. I'm gonna go back and say, I just learned about why I got tacos. And they're gonna say, of course.

We should, this whole time we knew it. This whole time. Here you go, here's 500 milligrams of Prozac. And it's all left. Yeah, you're not depressed, son. You're mad about the weaponization of mayo culture. left? Yeah, you're not depressed son, you're mad about the weaponization of Mayo culture. Cynically being deployed for electoral prospects. Well we have 30, what 31 more episodes to do where we don't talk about the election or politics.

We almost made it. We almost made it one. I think that's an acceptable amount. So, but we're micro dose in the election. We're not gonna say we're not gonna talk about it. We're just gonna, we'll just pop in everyone's mind. We'll touch on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we'll kangaroo hop over to it. I thought the kangaroo hop was tight.

People were fucking hating on that shit. Well, I was about to say, Reagan, you can hit me up but she's married and her husband is her coach actually that's the breakdancing guy that's why there's all this other controversy too dude I'm telling you this thing is a ripe it's got so many layers her husband is her coach and her coach husband is a break dancer So I don't hate it Well, he's yeah make him a b-boy. Oh This was the big girl competition is a b-girl. Okay, it wasn't he might have aged out too. Okay, I think he's like 83 Has been his al Pacino her husband's al Pacino

And her husband get out there you spin on your head Yeah, whoo-ah that's not a good Pacino idea I'm not even gonna try I can't well who's another old guy that just had a kid Robert and your can you do that impression he's hard to do to it I'm gonna find you the narrow just kind of talks like he's getting ready to have of stroke all the time Like he's always just very mad about something if you were the child of an 85 year old man How would you feel about that? Well, I would have to be reprimanded first because

Would you cancel your father? I think it's indirect being 85 and have it's kind of indirect violation What we're trying to do in terms of breathing the red Heifer, and it's true. Yeah, we don't want anybody having kids much less. This is the paradox though Fucking keeps you alive longer and we're trying to keep people from dying So we have to invent a way of fucking that doesn't result in kids That doesn't exist though. I think they have figured that out. They have not figured that out. They did not figure that out.

I think they figured that out within like a reasonable amount of. I don't think they figured that out yet. I mean, but pretty close. Like decimal points close. No, I don't think so. I don't know what you're talking about, but. All right, well, Terrence did, took the here no evil see no evil speak no evil approach to sex

No, they're trying to teach you about Contraception birth your hands over your ears. No, no, no, no, no not nearing it not here for it Not here for it. All right. All right, there's Patreon. Go listen to that and sign up for it and we'll see you there in a few days. Bye.
