Well, I got to, before we go any further, gentlemen, I got to tell you about a phenomenon that's happening. And I have to, maybe I've dubbed this in my mind the Sheridan effect, okay? But apparently, in Texas, there are guys buying plots of land and calling them ranches. And I'm not talking about like, you know, you know, You think of a ranch that you're talking like thousands of acres. Like the biggest ones are like 100,000 acres, 200,000 acres, shit like that. You're talking about like a parking lot? I'm talking about guys buying really big yards and naming it, whatever my last name is, ranch.

Okay, dog, that rock. It's like the dude I used to live with who refused to cut the lawn and the grass grew like six feet high in the homeowners association, got like all organized and assembled with people power and they were like, you're gonna mow your lawn motherfucker and he got it designated a wildlife habitat, like special. So he didn't have to mow it. It's like I like what Americans,

I like the innovations they do with their yards. Like they can be wildlife habitat, some could be ranches. My wife's parents, currently they obviously, they live in a chicken, coop but before they lived in a chicken coop they lived on and it it was an urban area it they were one quarter mile away from a mall so like you can't be out in the middle of no like you know what

i mean like especially in those days like if you're close to a mall you were urban but they had like maybe three quarters of an acre of land where they lived so they were living like they were farmers you know a big pool back there got all that stuff across the street there's a family has two horses and i just remember looking at those horses and being like oh this is too bad man i feel bad imagine being a horse and just especially in this the year of the horse and just the draw you got was you get to live a quarter mile from a mall on us a very small plot yeah it's like when you're walking around the city like when i walk around the city and i see huge huge dogs.

I'm like, why do you got to do that to the fucking dog? And listen, I'm sure you walk your dog 75 fucking times a day. Whatever. I'm saying that dog hates this. It's horrible. He's got really long fucking legs, you know. Dogs that were bred to do jobs, specific jobs. And we're just making them live in studio apartments and piss on a patch of fake grass.

Man, in the building I live, there are people that have like five dogs. And I'm like, we live in a building. like in downtown Columbia you can't have that many dogs you got to listen I know it's Columbus I know it's not New York or whatever like that but it's still

an urban area and you should not have a bunch of dogs here so I don't like I don't have any pets because I want to be able to leave anytime I want that's always been my thing it's like if I was in an office space it's like I'm clearly as a hardy

scott's irishman supposed to be working in a bog somewhere or something you know what i'm saying like i need to be in a bog moving stones that's true none of us are really living up to our genetic potential we should be we should be having trench foot and be picking cranberries out of fucking very damp dank areas i know i keep thinking about that now that like i replaced my long walks because i got so sick of the cold i'm just like i fucking hate winter i hate ohio i hate everything about it So like I've replaced my long walks with treadmill. But like psychotic treadmill workouts where it's like, oh yeah, I'll turn the elevation up to 13 and just walk that for an hour. Oh, nice.

And then I'm like, oh, I'm going to go back down and do that again like an hour later after I've done it. And I'm like, this isn't the way a human's supposed to live. I should maybe go outside. Let me ask you this, Brian, because, you know, it's health and stuff. fitness is off crazy these days and the two things people seem to be obsessed with is protein and their then their steps you were like an early adopter of step count what's your official theories on step count i just kind of it takes too long and i think that like it maybe isn't like when you start to think about like okay i can go downstairs on that treadmill and burn 850 calories in an hour

you know what i mean like that if i want to burn 850 calories with a step count, I'm going to have to take like three quarters of a day to do that. So in my mind, I think I've convinced myself like, I don't think you're really exercising if when you're measuring step count doesn't feel like exercise to me anymore. Like I walk, like I have the Apple watch, which everybody has. And you know, I want my rings to close every day. But if it, if in the course of the day, your rings close at like noon, that's not exercise. That's That's just, you know what I mean? That's just living through the course of your day.

So I hate fitness. Like I hate, I have a sickness that is sort of like I have to do something. I have to do something physical. I have to feel like I'm moving. So that is the real. It's more of an addiction than it is. Like my psychiatrist is even like, I think it's more of a compulsion than it is a healthy fitness life.

Let me tell you about two guys that love fitness, though. RFK Jr. and Kid Rock, they were recently seen working out. It looks like they've literally got workout equipment in a sauna. Is that what? Am I, you going to correct? Like, there's a big stuffed bear, and they're in a sauna, and they're working out. So what I think when I saw that picture is, Kid Rock, man, you got money, you got to go to turkey, dude.

you got to go to turkey you guys is he is he is he is he is he I've not paid attention to he either is he in bad shape in the pushups it didn't look good for him in the in the one with in the picture with him doing pushups in a sauna it looked pretty bad for him it looked very stringy and he's always wearing a hat now and I just believe he's going Lars mode where like like you let and and uh I a friend of our the show Pat finnerty calls it bald long hair and it's when you're hiding the fact that you're bald by wearing a hat and growing your hair out around here. I used to do it too. I did it for a period too.

I'd grow my hair out. I'd be almost all the way bald on top and I'd grow my hair out on the side. It's like the Brett Michaels, but with a bandana. Yeah. You wear a hat. It looks like you got all the hair in the world. Now, nobody believes you have hair under the hat. There's, and when you do this, when you do something like this, they're like, oh, dude, what do you do?

I knew the jig was up with Brett Michaels when he took a picture of himself in his hospital bed and he still had the bandana with the hair piece on. I was like, oh damn. Yeah. Maybe the video of Kid Rock, the photo of him, I think you're right, Brian. I think the photo of him, like, he's got no chest, dude. And I wonder if he doesn't do pushups or bench press because people would then be able to. to see the top of his head. So he probably doesn't fuck with that at all.

You know what I'm saying? Like I guess he could. It's a visual thing. Yeah, he could do the sitting up chest press, you know, machine. You could do that kind of. But even then, you'd be risking at that point, someone seeing the top of your head. I don't think he was doing. I didn't see the video.

So I don't, I actually didn't look at the video. But I was almost like convinced that he was doing planks instead of pushups. because I don't think Kid Rock does push-ups regularly. I know he's a thin guy. He performs on stage, though. But yeah, I'm looking at this picture now. I'm looking at one of these pictures now. And if I'm Kid Rock, I'm on a plane tomorrow to Turkey.

Dog, it's bad. I mean, he's not looking good. He's always been a pretty unattractive person. I'm sorry, Kid Rock, if you're listening to this, I really, you know, I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, but... Oh, yeah, he's bad shape. I didn't, from the front, you can't tell it as bad. No, because he's wearing a hat all the time.

So it looks like he has long hair still like he did when he was younger. Uh-huh. Oh, man. Kid Rock, go to Turkey, Kid Rock. Or get a hair system. Nobody's against getting or shake, well, you know, obviously you can shave it bald. I don't know if that works for Kid Rock. I don't know.

But he's a conservative. They don't ever. acknowledge victory or defeat. You know what I mean? They live in like a space between like, oh, we won everything, but we're fucking miserable. Yeah. And we hate everything and we never lose. That's true.

Liberals only acknowledge defeat. That's it. Like they don't acknowledge victory, but it's because they don't win. So no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Conservatives to me are like, they, they spend all day whining. And it's like, you have all. three branches of the government.

Shut the fuck up. God, you're winning. You've won. But they don't win and they don't lose. They just, like I said, they just exist in a space where they can complain as much as possible,

which is, you know, I'm kind of the same way. Like I never also, I'm always like, well, you know, everything's going.

Oh, it looks like I'm losing some weight. And I look like a piece of fucking shit. Like my wife will hear me in the, in the bathroom after I get out of a shower. going like you fat piece of shit she'll be like hey don't talk to yourself

yeah Brian you need some positive body positivity brother Terrence I will never have that I could be 100 pounds or I could be ripped it ain't happening I'll always be a fat guy

maybe it's because you're not working out with RFK I have to say dude I don't I'm not an expert in fitness or working out Look those goddamn arms, son I'd say that Well, look at his arms, Brian

Look at this dark Yeah, looking good Those kids It's got kid rock size there I've got I'm like yeah I'm approaching kid rock size I can't say that it's

I can't say I would recommend Working out in a sauna I don't think that's a good idea I personally wouldn't drink milk Whole milk while I was working out either but you know what man in a sauna dog imagine drinking whole milk in a sauna while working out yeah yeah yeah these guys like the whole milk thing i did milk guys so i know what goes on with these milk guys and uh yeah kid rock first thing he does is take it i got the video on now and god this guy sucks like i loved

kid rock why did he do this i don't understand how you go from a song like ball with the ball dude So what's with the milk guys, Brian? Like, what is? I drink milk. I'm not getting in the front. I mean, because it's good protein. I don't think I would drink milk in a sauna while riding a bicycle. No.

Well, they're sitting in a pool drinking milk. It is. We're in hell, dude. Like, I saw them drinking that milk, like, after working out. And I was just like, we live in. And then you'll see an article every now and then, like, hey, it looks like they've developed a MRNA vaccine to cure pancreatic cancer and it's like well good luck with that and like you know what i mean like that's all you can think about it's like all i i'll tell you all i think

about and i know this is very mean is my in-laws dying of some preventable disease and me being like yeah you're like a you're like a 90 sitcom just like i i haven't seen them since 2024 now because I just can't go over there like I did almost get weak and go around Christmas but then the ice stuff started kicking up and I was like I can't I can't fucking go there I can't go there and look at these people like these I was like they're they they literally voted for Hitler man like that is crazy like they like they wrote in Hitler instead of Trump well no I'm saying like they voted for they voted for Trump a second time who went on the campaign trail and was like,

I'm going to do as much Hitler stuff as possible. Like I am going to and then did it. And now they're sitting around at home like, why don't anybody like us? It's like nobody ever liked you. Man, you know, it is like, it's like one of those things where it's like the first go around, like you might could understand why they take a flyer on this kook. And then

the second time around, it's like, why did we think he was just going to be like golfing and be ineffectual when they tried to throw him in jail? Like he's playing for his life on this, on this go around, you know? I know. I know. And, and also like, you know, the thing I think that makes me a little crazy about them, about any of these people is that like they call, like a lot of them called them, like my, my father-in-law calls himself a student of history.

And it has like, oh, I love that shit, dude. Has bookshelves full of history books. Like, you've never seen so many fucking history books unless you've been to a library. And, but they're not real history. You know what I mean? They're, they're, they're like Glenn Beck reading the, Glenn Beck being like the, the constitution is better than the Magna Carta. You know what I mean? Like, whatever they do.

Bill O'Reilly. Bill O'Reilly. You already knew why I was going. Hell yeah. Bill O'Reilly. What if Lincoln wasn't killed or what if Lincoln killed John Wilson? Or what if I killed Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly? Lincoln killed himself.

He blew his brain smooth out. What if Lincoln was gay? But anyway, they're like. But yeah. So and then you're like, I, you watch the election and you're like, oh, you can't vote for this guy. This guy's going to do some bad stuff. And they were like, no, that's why we're voting for, man. That's all the bad stuff is what we like. Like they cheer on the worst stuff. They can't even like, I've said like, I don't think they think they're wrong or whatever, you know, like I know that it's hard to live your life thinking you're wrong and you're like Hitler. But that's what they are. And that's why I hate them. And I won't go. to their house and every time Katie comes home and she goes they asked why you weren't going to come over. I just didn't tell them. I was like, you can fucking tell them.

Tell them. I hate them. I hate their fucking guts. I hate everybody. I literally I don't care what relationship we had before. I hate you if you voted for the guy. You know what I mean? I've turned into a lib. Except for I don't do that. I don't do the like

serves you're right, Kentucky. I don't believe in that shit. But you know, I'm very Libby when it comes to my family now. I'm like, I don't want to be around you, motherfucker. I'm seeing an interesting dynamic unfold on Facebook where I see this guy know that was like, he's like, and still was a rabid mag up until like a couple weeks ago. He may still be, I just haven't seen him posting him.

He might have been taking some, working out some personal demons. But he, I guess he, like him and his wife had divorced and there was, I don't know what was going on or whatever. But it seems like that he scorned her. And like now, like she was never like very political. But now I see her going out of her way to like post like Obama Foundation like stuff on Facebook. It's like just, and it's strictly just to play at him.

And then like there was this post that's like when my poor mother was going through cancer treatment a few years ago and it was just praising the Obama's for just amorphous things that they didn't really have a direct hand in. But it's just to play back. the MAGA divorced husband that's awesome though I love that I mean the MAGA movement is the most

divorced of all I think the thing that made me so happy and Tom we talked about this is like they announced tears of the left whiskey oh me and Chris were following to the left whiskey yeah that was Rob Schneider right right

and first of all they had five conservative sponsors but only two of wanted to be identified as being a sponsor. So it was Kevin Sorbo and Rob Schneider. That's an unholy alliance. I was one of them. I was one of,

I didn't want to be identified. I believe in what you're trying to do here, guys, but I just declined to be the face of this. Well, then they talk about, oh, we announced the third guy, and it's a guy named D.C. Drano. What? Oh, he came up for me today.

Yeah, Chris pranks him. used to prank him sometimes. He knew who he was. So DC Drano and now there's two more, but they aren't shipping it out in a timely manner. It's like taking months and months and months to get the people. And many people are asking for a refund and they're just not getting a reply. It makes sense because if the whiskey is distilled from tears of human beings,

like, that's going to take a while. A tier is a small process. That's not something you can't just make it today and sell it tomorrow, guys. But then the happiest thing in the world is like, three weeks after me and Chris have been talking about tears of the last with left whiskey all the time. They're like, Rob Schneider is getting a divorce. It's like they all do. Every one of them.

They can't do it. They can't be married because everybody, because they're just the worst people. How could you stay married to a guy like that? I don't mean that like, oh, he's dumb because he's a conservative. He's dumb because he's a Trump, though I believe certainly those things are true. He's very sexy. So it would be a very hard. decision to make, you know, leaving that.

But it's, to me, more than like any ideological position what's so revolting about these guys is they're just all sore winners and just don't really have a realistic sense of like where they are, you know? Yeah. Like, Rob Schneider 100% has a career because he, like, for some reason, Adam Sandler has a soft spot for him, you know? Well, you know, the thing about Rob Schneider that I, I've told the story of a billion times on our show is that like, there was a guy.

in Columbus who he's a comedian he was not a good comedian he was very bad comedian and he did the thing that that all like sort of bad comedians with some kind of like any kind of notoriety which his notoriety was he wrote jokes for rob schneider and he was in an adam sandler movie for like a second that was his bit of notoriety like you would go to the open mic and people would be like yeah he wrote jokes for rob schneider that's very cool you know what I mean And so he did what those guys do, and he goes to a small town in Ohio. He runs for mayor, libertarian mayor, which is the comedian that isn't funny. See also Kane and J.D. Vance's half brother.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Zelensky. Zilinsky's a former comedian turned politician. Was he a small town mayor in Ukraine before that? Yes, and he wrote jokes for Rob Schneider. Yeah. So the guy, he didn't win. He didn't actually win, but he did write jokes for Rob Schneider.

And when I told Chris, I knew this guy, Chris is like, I wrote jokes for Rob Schneider. Chris did? Chris has written jokes for Rob Schneider. So, like, this guy's just outsourced it to, like, everybody. Yeah, yeah. Which I know Chris is a professional. I'm not disparaging Chris, but like, God damn. It's just so funny, man.

And like now, and it's funny, it's so good that Chris wrote jokes for him because he has his phone number and he harasses him now. Chris is playing a long game. he takes like joke riding gigs just so he can have their numbers on deck to prank later so he keeps calling chris keeps calling the guy that owns the distillery for tears of the left whiskey like the main guy in charge of it and asking them why the whiskey stones look like testicles they called them like a few times it says why do the whiskey stones look like testicle he's not even doing like his goal I was like, man, I really missed not even a show, which was his prank show that he did before he started doing guys, but guys made it so he doesn't have to do it. He found it very depressing following a lot of these conservative guys. Same reason I don't do a politics show anymore.

But now I'm like, I care more about politics than I did when I was doing street fight. Like I'll be listening to politics podcast and stuff like that. Oh, no. I miss it a little bit. I miss it a little bit, but I would never want to make it part of my. like thing you know what i mean uh but he got kind of depressed but now he is working overtime to get nick de paulo to guest on a show and he's going to make a special episode of not even a show if he can get nick de paulo because nick de paulo hung out with woody allen and geoffrey Epstein. Really?

Yeah, there's a fucking whole thing. There's a picture of Nick DePaulo, Woody Allen, Jeffrey Epstein, and Jackie Martling, and Bobby Slayton.

There's an actual picture of that. God damn it. And Nick DePaulo's sending an email to Jeffrey Epstein and saying, I'll have to think

about doing that. You know, you are a little bit of a controversial figure, L. O'L. What?

Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,

ha, ha, ha, All Nick Dip in the Epstein Files. It may be so happy to see Nick DePaulo and Bobby Slayton the pit bull of comedy in the Epstein files. The pit bull of comedy. I'm like, the guy,

the Epstein File guy that I'm fascinated with now is a guy that's not even in the files at all, but seems to wish he kind of was in the files. Uh-huh. That's Joe Rogan. Like he seems to me, like he goes on his show every day and it's like, you know, it wasn't all underage girls. Like, he's always coming up with, like, reasons.

It's not that big of a deal. They're really stuck on that. They are really, really stuck on that. Well, Rogan also said, Terrence, the funny thing Rogan says is like, how did they even know that all these guys were into underage girls? Like, you'd have to have a conversation, like an uncomfortable conversation. I was like, people knew Jeffrey F. He was like 2006. Yeah.

The verdict was in on him literally in 2006, 2007. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These guys, they were emailing with him in 2013. It's like, brother. Yeah, no, they knew. It wasn't a hard conversation at all. They were like right there. But yeah, he, uh, Joe Rogan seemed, Joe Rogan seems like,

almost because he said he got invited to something and he said, hell no. But just the way. that he keeps popping back. Like, he's such the picture of the, like, conflicted MAGA guy right now that's like, ICE is kind of like the Gestapo. And then the next week, like, Alex Pruddy was harassing ice. So they had to kill him.

And, like, so he's bouncing back and forth. He's trying to figure out the best position to triangle. Yeah. And he doesn't want to, and he's not sure which way the winds are going to blow. So he wants to be very careful to just come off as, like, you know, the balanced guy. with like that doesn't want to be hysterical

till all the information's in. Yes. And he, because a lot of the other guys have like, definitely turned. You know what I mean? Andrew Schultz is the guy that people keep talking about that is like, he was a comedian.

He had Trump on a show on the run up to the election. Yeah. What's his take on Epstein stuff? He, I mean, he's, he's pissed off about that and he's pissed off about ice. And he's pissed off about all that.

He was like, we didn't ask for that. And the greatest thing in the world is he finally said. In fairness, Trump wouldn't offer anything that wasn't in the brochure. I know. Well, the fucking best thing he said, it made me happy to hear this. I can send you the clip. He said, you know, what they're doing is they're making all the most far left people seem right.

Like, that's because we were fucking right. We were all fucking right. We told you not to do this. Speaking of divorced right-wingers, I don't know, we haven't covered this on the show, but I don't know if you've guys noticed there is a veritable epidemic of middle-aged men trying to fight high schoolers. Like high school students who are protesting against ice. Like a few weeks ago, I think there was one in, I want to say maybe it was Minnesota. Or no, no, it was San Diego.

It was San Diego. We talked about that one. In San Diego, this guy tried to fight these guys in these kids in line at a Pokemon store thing. But then there was another one where a guy, I can't remember where that one was. This white guy tried to once again fight some high schoolers and then got his shit kicked in. And now there's another one today from Nebraska of an adult trying to literally square up with like 20 or 30 high school kids. and then getting his ass kicked because... Yeah, of course.

It's like the ending scene in weapons. Yeah, it's pretty much. So I keep thinking about like, because the ice stuff is so unpopular in such a crazy way that like, you know, you guys, I don't know if you saw this, but on wrestling, on AEW,

they had a show in Mexico, or late last year. They did a show in Mexico. and one of the guys on the show wore an abolish ice t-shirt on the fucking show and you know nothing ever came of that.

He was still on TV all the time and everything. Well, they decided to give him a push to the main event. He's like wrestling the champ. And the first time him and the champ got in the ring together and stood across from each other, the audience started chanting fuck ice.

Like the whole... At an AEW event? Yeah. And I'm telling you the whole fucking room chanted. fuck ice. So then a rumor got around like, oh, you know, Warner Brothers Discovery is not super happy that they're chanting fuck ice, but then, you know, they had a show in fucking Australia. And he was on that show. And he walked out to the ring. They stood in the ring and the audience

in Australia chanted fuck ice. So I firmly believe that for the at least time being, every time they do a show an audience is going to chant fuck ice on TV you remember you remember that old tweet from like 10

maybe 12 13 years ago that was like am I the only one that thinks that or I can't be the only one that thinks that if the NFL put together a team of players

they could totally own the military or something like that or maybe it was the opposite no the military put if the troops put together a team Oh, that's right.

They could beat the NFL. They should do that for AEW versus UFC. Like we're going to have to like have warring gladiatorial teams here. But like, but a second ago, Brian, you mentioned Warner Brothers. This was on my list of things to talk about. Apparently Trump is trying to get the Warner Brothers Netflix deal killed so that Paramount can buy Warner Brothers. For entertainment. Yeah, which would basically.

basically give him control of not only CBS and all this other stuff, but also CNN and everything you just mentioned. I don't know. It's, they're all bowing down. It'll be great to get a Democratic Congress and president and then them not break it apart. You know what I mean? Because it's like, they consolidate all have the Barry Wyss of CNN even though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They consolidate all this power. And then it's just permanently consolidated. Because it was interesting. I actually found it sort of interesting that like two or three weeks before the Super, or maybe a week even before the Super Bowl,

Kid Rock did testify in front of Congress about Ticketmaster of Live Nation. I didn't see this. Wow. I didn't see this either. I did see that Jeffrey Epstein was basically at the root of all that stuff. Like I don't mean to like cast him as just like a singularly like pathological individual. Like, but it did seem like my man was not only was the fucking kids, he was also ticket scalping among his other crimes. Yeah, Kid Rock, he came in.

He talked about how, like, the shows could be cheaper because they could be put on cheaper because Live Nation and Ticketmaster, you know, can spot their own by the same company. So the venues are owned by the same company that sells the fucking tickets. So he, and he famously has cheap tickets and cheap beer at his shows or whatever. But like, I hated that. Because I was like, they couldn't get somebody that's not Kid Rock to do it. Because you know what?

Eddie Vedder. And what happened to Eddie Vedder? And if they broke the fucking thing apart, right? Like, if Trump breaks apart, ticket master, that'll be like a solid fucking thing that he did. Yeah. That will be a popular move. The first time some middle age lady is like, oh shit, I can go see Taylor Swift for less than $1,500. You know what I mean?

Yeah. It would be tremendously popular because they've moved just going to a show out of like a normal thing people do and into like the luxury sphere. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't go to a concert of like a big act without. I mean, I haven't seen many tickets under 200 bucks recently. The last concert I went to was Pupp and they got me, you know, Steve got me in for free. Like I just, I see how much tickets are. And sports too.

sports is out, like professional sports. Yeah, fuck, man. It's crazy. And then you got like the CEO of Ticketmaster coming on there and like making no apologies for that. He was like, no, actually like it's the status thing of sitting courtside at a Knicks game or something that people are, like they're paying for the clout bump that you get from getting good seats to a thing or like to see and be seen type of thing.

I don't think you've heard that you probably wouldn't have heard this, but with wrestling always part of the work is working the numbers in the audience, right? So you're like, oh, there was, you know, 50,000 people at this show when really there was like 22,000 people. Yeah, I noticed there was a discrepancy one time. Remember they used to open up raw with like, and they'd show you the numbers?

And it was like the Nutter Center in Dayton, we've got 52,000. I was like, say what? Yeah. So they often worked the numbers. They used to work the numbers, but they have in recent years stop both companies.

All the companies have basically stopped working the numbers. There's been a readjustment of what a successful show is, right? WWE lately has not been selling out their shows, but when they do their shows, they announce, and this is outrageous that people clap for this. They said we had a record gate tonight, which just means a record. We made the most money.

Well, yeah, But it also means we made the most money off of you that we've ever made. Oh, it's cold word for we actually took you guys to the cleaners. Yes. Yeah. It's a record gate. So you guys paid more than anybody's ever paid for a wrestling show. You know what I mean?

Not sold out. There's not 30,000 people here. We made $2 million on this. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like it goes from like, like, thank you for showing up in mass to thank you for like just giving us your hard-earned money for basically an inferior product. Yeah, yeah.

Thank you for paying $600 for nosebleed seats. Hey, we really appreciate that. You know what I mean? And they do like conference calls. Like some of the clips have made it to the internet of these conference calls where the guys like, I don't think we're fully capitalized yet. I think we could definitely charge more. I mean, if people, if shows are selling out, that means, like he says if shows are selling

out, that means the tickets are too cheap. So like. Yeah, Terrence was telling me something. the other day. Show me a chart the other day. It was basically like 90% of consumer spending comes from like the top 10% of earners. So at the bottom 90% are, and like,

you know, I think that's skewed because like people are getting priced out of like what used to be very normal experiences like 20 years ago, like going to a show or whatever it is. But like they know that like the people that are going to shit are people that are just in a different like tax bracket and they're just trying to milk those people for everything they can get and fuck the rest of them. Yeah, I always think about like me and Chris went to see corn when we were in, uh, when I was in Vancouver last.

And they, back in a day, you go to a heavy metal concert. There would be a pit, right? Like the whole floor would be the pit. And then it costs a little extra to get down there. But that's the pit. They, they at the, at the place in Vancouver, I had never seen this before. They sectioned off the floor. into they put seats on half the floor

and then pit on the other half so that they could charge even more to be in the standing room section of the floor. And like that to me is just like they're sectioning these places off. Like it's crazy. Like it's like the VIP experience now.

Any show you go look at. And the VIP experience is the dumbest fucking shit in the world. Like could you even imagine Could you, could you even imagine paying? I paid $2,000. I got to meet the fucking lead singer of theory of a dead man. And he was completely uninterested in meeting me because he was getting ready to do a concert. Like that kind of thing to me is it's such a card.

So depressing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just meeting these like, like it depresses me for the artist, too. Like I feel bad for the fucking artist too, even though they're cleaning up. But it's just kind of like, yeah. But Taylor Swift doesn't have a meeting greet. Like if you're Axel Rose and you were like once a huge stadium arena act. Yeah.

And like now you're sort of on the back end side of it all. Like that's got to be like crazy whiplash feeling to be like, oh, in 87 or in 92, I was God. You know what I mean? And now I'm basically doing, you know, Blade and Bow meeting greets brought to you by Blade and Boe Spiced Rum. You know what I mean? Yes. for $600 a head and like somebody gets to take a picture with a disembodied picture with me and a cool band doesn't do it because I saw deftones twice last year they do they do a VIP pass but it's just early access to merch at the at the venue you don't get to meet them they're not going to let you meet them you know what I mean but like you'll see like breaking Benjamin headlining a show hey meet the lead singer of breaking Benjamin Why would you want to do that?

What are you going to do with that information? I went to high school with a girl that slept with one of those guys. She was like one of their groupies. I probably should have said that on the show. This was so long ago. It was like 20 years ago. That's a big band. Yeah, Breaking Benjamin, yeah.

That's a big band. You know, she acted like afterwards, right? She acted like, you know, no one could touch her, right? She was like living that high for like many months and even years. And I was probably a little jealous over Not because I wanted to fuck one of the breaking Benjamin guys But I wanted a little proximity to fame You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, you wanted you wanted your ticket out of nowhere'sville And you were mad, you were a little upset But you couldn't fuck your way to it And you deserve that, Terrence Exactly Let me tell you, I'll show you I'll read you guys something I got off a next door yesterday

Oh man, it's so diseased Believe me More disease than you could ever possibly think. Because it comes to my email, right? Like, it'll come to my email. And every once in a while, I'll be interested in the post.

This is the post. I am baffled that Les Wexner was the sixth person named in relation to the Epstein Files. I love Easton and the Limited, but I cannot support someone involved in that. I have his autograph. I'm just destroyed.

Can you imagine having the autograph of the founder of Victoria's Secret? it like i was actually it's good because i was going to ask about this bride about like uh you know everything columbus has less wexner's name oh yeah especially in university so i was curious how they were handling that i don't think they're handling it well because everything still has less wexner's name on it i think uh uh the nurses union has now asked to get the wexner name off of one of the hospitals i think like the os u hospital yeah what i think what i think ends up happening is they just add the name Abigail

to all of it because they've done that a few times. Dude. The Abigail Wexner. Oh, so it's just his, like, the family name's fine, but his name is like toxic or whatever. Yeah. So the Children's Hospital has an Abigail Wexner wing. And I'm sure the Wexner Center, which is actually an insanely cool place.

I actually, I'm not using, I'm not using this word to be denigrating or anything, but I went there and saw a, I went there and saw a movie about J. Retard where like, uh, they had like, like one of the guys come and do like a, uh, they had one of the guys from New Bomb Turks do a speech. Yeah. Like it was so fucking, because they do cool stuff there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And like, I, I, I, I hope they change it because it is very weird to, you know, you drive by. It's like the Wexner Center for the arts. It's like. I say we. caught the Jay Retard Center for the Arts. Thank you. I would love that. They should do that in Memphis at least.

They should. They should do that in Memphis. But yeah, I think it's weird. But I also think that they have been prepping for this for a long time. And that I believe, again, they'll just add his wife's name to everything and say it's his wife's thing. Oh, his wife's a philanthropist. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Not him. He's a bad guy. So he'll, he'll. Hang around New Albany. That's a funny notion to be like, his loving wife of many years is like she's, she's salt of the earth. It's him. It's him that's the issue.

Yeah. So this person says, I've had his autograph. I have his autograph. Which I want to know what it's on. I'd love to know what his autographs on. It's a pair of Victoria's secret panties. He goes, someone, I have his autograph. I'm just destroyed mentally regarding this.

First, Cosby, then others in between. in Wexner. It's like this guy keeps stepping on ranks and his idols just so happen to be a who's who of sex criminals.

I mean, listen, a lot of people like Bill Cosby. I like, you know what I mean? And I get it. But the load bearing

of everybody between Bill Cosby and Les Wexner is really something to behold. You know what I mean? I wonder if there's another

individual in the entire world that the two big things they lament the most is that like the reveals about Cosby and Wexner. Yeah. First go Cosby, now this. Yeah. Oh, come on. Not Wexner.

I have Leon Black's autograph. Just like, just take these weird obscure financial figure. It's like Peter Mandelson's autograph now. Like, what am I going to do with that? Yeah, it's like, first Joe a turn on out Peter Mandelson.

I have to take my Larry Summers to autograph off the fucking wall. I had a picture with him. I had a picture with Alan Dershowitz. Very funny. You know, what's funny, I had to watch a thing this week that I want to highly recommend to every single person in the world to watch. It's called MTV Presents Metallica icons. Okay. And it was, it's a thing where they're honoring Metallica from 2003.

Nice. Okay. So like, it's a bunch of celebrities. It's on MTV. It's a bunch of celebrities and then some bands playing some Metallica songs. There is a part in the middle of it out of, out of, out of, out of, where Michelle Branch, do you remember her? Oh, yeah. Is she making my way down to, is she the one that was married to the Black Keys guy and beat the hell out of him?

I hope so. I hate the Black Keys. I mean, I think when, like, she caught him in an affair or something beat the hell out of it. Yeah, Michelle Branch comes out and she says, uh, ladies and gentlemen, the troops. It's like five soldiers come out there. This is all we got now. The audience starts chanting USA, USA. And then a guy gives a speech like, we couldn't do what we're doing over there without the rock and roll from over here.

And it was just the purest two thousand. three that I could ever see that I was like somebody should go back and watch that because things are so different now. I do not think people will chant USA anywhere. Anyway. I think that's cooked except for unless you're the TP USA halftime show. They might chant it there, but that's about it. Because if anybody's old enough to remember like pre-9-11, you'll remember that like,

we thought the troops and the cops were dipshits then. You know what I mean? Like everything kid rock. He used to talk all the time about the crooked cops. Yeah. And now it's like you can't even like it was you couldn't even imagine a world where you know what I mean? Like you couldn't even imagine a world where people would would would disrespect them. And the conservatives has done such a great job of getting them right back down there in the gutter that I don't think they're going to be able to pull them out again.

You know what I mean? I don't think anybody's ever going to be like. boy, I love the police, except for like really racist guys. You know what I mean? So yeah, because I thought about the strokes, which in two, that released their first album is this it in 2001. A song called New York City Cops. In the song, they say New York City cops, they're not too smart.

That's like the chorus. Yeah. And after 9-11, they had to take that song off the album. Yeah. I remember that. And that got scrapped from all future pressings. Well, it might be back now. But yeah, it got scrapped.

They took it off the album and recalled all the albums so that people didn't hear it. And it just got me thinking about how, listen, yes, everything sucks. We have made some strides in like 20 years because when you watch something from 2003, 2004, we were much bigger morons then. We're just like a little more evil now. We're just more evil now. I'm looking at MTV icons. They only did four episodes.

There's a great one. Janet Jackson. Janet Jackson, that one looks like it'd be really good. But Aerosmith. Is that the one where she had Miscellaneous Sunk, spitting poison? Shooting poison? I don't think Janet Jackson is ever...

Is that the first footage of miscellaneous sunk shooting poison? I don't think she's gone anywhere where a miscellaneous song has and shot poison. And then they had... Well, it's funny. Go ahead. The guest on Janet... MTV icons Janet Jackson that blows your mind.

Buck Cherry. Well, Buck Cherry, right. They performed nasty. Yeah. They did nasty. Nasty. Holy shit. I have to see that.

I know. You go back and watch these things. It made me want to just go back and watch MTV. Like, like, because you can go on YouTube. They have random clips of like the week. They have random videos of random weekend rocks and stuff like that. And I've watched some of them. Can I hit you?

something over the head. This is going to be one of those weird things like President John Tyler has two grandsons that are still alive, like the guy that was like the 14th president of the U.S. I think you've been quoting that fact for like 10 years. It's still awesome. It was true. It was true 10 years ago. I don't know if it's still true. It was true as of 2020 because I remember one of them died in the pandemic and one of them made it out. Kurt Loder is 80 years old. No, it's not. Yes.

Kurt Loder also is 80 years old, bro. Also a libertarian. You guys know that, right? He wrote for reason. He wrote for reason.com. I remember that. Oh, Kurt. But actually, like, not everybody,

because Radley Balco wrote for reason for a really long time. And he doesn't seem concerned. I know he was kind of a libertarian. He doesn't seem like a libertarian to me anymore from the stuff I see. He's the, I mean, he's the guy that was like, listen, we got to hate these cops. Like, he was like from day one after 9-11. He was like, no, the police are still insanely stupid and bad.

You know what I mean? Like, he's the first guy I saw on Twitter. Like, because we get a lot of credit. Street bike got a lot of credit for being like, oh, fuck the troops, fuck the cops and stuff like that in like 2011. Yeah. But in all honestly, honesty, like the world was turning that way anyway. because like Occupy Wall Street was going on.

And like guys like, but I remember seeing like Radley Balco and stuff like that just saying it and just being like, oh, you're allowed to just say that. You're allowed to hate these guys. You know what I mean? And I hate them. Brian, you buried the lead. You didn't tell us Jim Brewer performed if you're happy and you know it in the style of Metallica at the MTV Metallica icons. Dog. You want to learn about Jim Brewer.

You just pull up a seat because I know everything about it. him. I'm being, Chris is buying me tickets to see him because he's performing across the street for me. So we're going to get VIP tickets so that I can stand next to him and get a picture. Because it'll be funny because we make fun of Jim Brewer three times a week generally on our, what if he like knows y'all's face is nice like these sons of bitches? I've been waiting for y'all pull some shit like this. You ever heard of the brew boys?

Oh, dude. Does he have blow your fucking mind? Well, no, we call him the brewboy. First of all, his show's called the Bruniverse. And I was explaining Jim Brewer to Katie when we were on vacation in Florida. And she was like, what's his show called? Like Bruehaha. I'm like, no, that actually fucking makes sense.

It's called the Bruniverse. When Brouhaha was right there. I know. So anyway, what he does now is he goes into his basement and he holds a mic and he just talks for like two hours a day. Just talk, talk, talk about, he's real big on chem trails right now. Like he's insanely mad at the governor of Florida

because he's not doing anything about the goddamn chem trails over Naples, Florida. Well, Tom and I determined that the chem trails are, they're spices, dude. You got fucking paprika, there's some cumin in there, there's some coriander, some salt. Because they're getting ready to eat it. dog so they're getting

as soon as the earth shit dog it's not so too do our enters so he goes he's so mad about it who's the governor of it's not Rick Perry it's the other guy

DeSantis yeah DeSanta he's like DeSantis you gotta do so because he's not conservative Jim Brewer's not at all I don't think yeah because he doesn't like I was I thought he was

he was he just like one of these canceled goals he was he's a psycho is what he is Like, I don't think he knows what he believes. I think he got, according to his Wikipedia, he kind of got big in that scene because he was very hardcore anti-vax. So I think that's why maybe we think he is.

So was he like one of these Austin guys are adjacent to the Austin comedy scene? No. No. He just recently was on Kill Tony for the first time. By the way, one of the best performances, he talked three times and then came back to his podcast and talked for 40 minutes about how he bombed. done killed early. He didn't even have a chance to bomb.

So he does his show every day. And you can hear people laughing at his jokes. You know what I mean? And me and Chris spend so much time being like, who could be laughing at his jokes? Does he have like an audience in his basement or something like that? And we were like really working hard to try to figure it out. We found out it's his producers.

We're like, well, it's got to be as producers. Okay? So we're like, we'd love to see the producers. I'd do anything to see the producers. Finally, they show the producers. The oldest one looks like he's 16. They're children sitting at the thing. And we were like, that's the brew boys there.

Must be his sons. It's not. So somebody, it's not, he has daughters. So he just runs around a bunch of young guys. I guess. I mean, maybe it's his daughter's boyfriend. It's been the, uh, has been the running theory now is Maybe it's his daughter's boyfriend

that he's making them produce his podcast. Oh, my God. He's like, he's like, he like, if you don't have her back by 11 p.m. tonight, 9 a.m. tomorrow in the basement, your ass better be there on time. We're recording. You, you think it's fucking funny.

But they might be heirs to the Brewer fortune. The Jim Brewer, for, yeah, when he does it if you're happy and you know it. Because nobody drops names. like Jim Brewer. He just all the time. Like every episode he's like, I remember when I,

well, the last real funny one he did was he was talking about how cash cab was a work. And it's like a show nobody's thought about in 15 years, 20 years. Yeah, he was like, I don't know if you know this, but cash cab's fake.

It's like, okay. And of course he asked the brew boys, do you ever see cash cab? And they're like, no. How would I, seen cash cap I'm 15.

I have never felt so, like, this is the first time of my life I've ever felt old just because I've just tried to be, I've just been young for so long. But watching that Adam Friedland show with clavicular on there and learning about, like, what maugging and all this stuff really is, it, it, dude,

it just makes you feel ancient, like overnight. Yeah. But it also makes you feel smart. Like, I think the thing for me is like, you, like,

I even think about Brewer, as like he was on that Metallica thing and he might have been weird. Like now I'm looking at a lot of these guys that have been around our whole lives. You know what I mean? Like when did he turn fucking crazy? Yeah.

When did Rob Schneider? What was the moment? Yeah, because he was Deuce Bigelow. He was on top of the world. Yeah, yeah. He would go, you can do it. And people thought that was hilarious. That was his one line.

Now he gets divorced and people were like, yeah, fuck yeah. The biggest, my favorite trivia about Rob Schneider is that he made a sitcom that was on Netflix. And like Chris is explaining, oh, he made a sitcom. And so I looked it up and it's on Netflix. And I'm like, oh, well, it's on Netflix. He's not doing that bad. And then we found out that he made the whole thing on his own dime.

And then it got put on Netflix because, you know, no big risk for Netflix. You know what I mean? He already made the fucking thing. Uh-huh. So he sold it cheap and had it on Netflix, but it's got some of the worst reviews you'll ever see for something on rotten tomato. But then the best part about it is it's got horrible reviews on rotten tomatoes. But if you go into the audience reviews, there's so many conservatives.

What's the premise of the show? It's like curb your enthusiasm, where Rob Schneider is Larry David. Oh, okay. I'm trying to imagine what that would be. like. It would be like he makes an anti-vax comment in a room full of libs

and they all hate him for it and he's like, but he's a maverick and he's, he tries to probably tries to make himself seem like and like Larry David, curb is funny because he does it like self-deprecatingly, but I would imagine Rob Snatter

doesn't have the tact or charm perhaps. Or doesn't understand Kirby or enthusiasm at all. You know what I mean? Like the thing that he's, he's copying, he does not fucking understand.

You guys want to see something real funny. Look up in Google image search. Look up Rob Schneider, Kill Tony, and see what he wears on that show. It is a great... This guy is, you know, he's Loder Age. Well, I saw him in the promotional... Kurt Loder Age.

I saw him in the promotional material for Kill Your... What was it? Tears of Liberals whiskey or whatever. He looked pretty balling. Oh, but when you see what... what he wore on Kilt Hone. Oh, you're right. I saw it.

It looks like fucking Frankie Valley on the cruise ship or something. You know what I think he looks like? He looks like one of those blonde ladies that were up January 6th. Do you live in like a red state? You'll see them all the time. They wear like super rhinestone hats that say like MAGA on them and like just like the rhinestone t-shirt that is full on like, are you offended? Fuck you or something.

He's got our rhinestone suit jacket and some kind of like trillby or what are the, what do you call those kind of hats? I don't know what our fedora. He was on the show. One thing you'll know. Donnell Rawlings, man. Interesting. Yeah. One thing you'll learn about me is I got to know what's going on under that.

Rob Schneider. What's our guest? Bald or not? Yes. I'm going to search Rob Schneider, no hat. All the photos. Guys. That come up, he's got here.

Any guy, any guy, you're right, right. Any guy that adopts a whimsical headgear is bald. Yeah, yeah. I wear a hat. But you wear a baseball head, but that's like a normal. That's like normal. Like, look, I mean. Wait, dude, speaking of hair and Metallica, Brian, I don't know.

Do you remember this? Like, growing up, I don't know if this was the, like, lore or accepted wisdom or dogma about Metallica, but like where you grew up and Tom maybe this is the case too but like what everybody always said about Metallica they were like the minute they cut their hair that's when they started sucking

like it was like their hair was like that was related to how good they were analogy Yeah and Samson analogy with Metallica I think something that makes me happy to look at with Metallica is

modern pictures of Lars because he went and got the fucking celebrity teeth on the piano key veneers it's so funny when i had it's so funny when a heavy metal guy cares so much that he gets the celebrity there's one guy that can pull that off and that's walton guggins everybody else looks so dumb yeah won gawgge is okay he looks great but like Lars ulrich with the celebrity te i can see those i went and saw metallica last summer because my brother was kind of into him and john cullen my co-host on the p o d cast was able to get me press passes

to go to this festival. They were the worst passes you'll ever have in your entire life. But like 90% of the festival grounds was closed off to me. I was like, well, I guess you didn't want a review from me. Fuck you. So we saw Metallica and we were standing far away. And I could see Lars's fucking teeth behind those drums. Just going crazy back there.

And then I got a little obsessed like where I was Googling like cosmetic surgery, heavy metal guys because I think that's the funniest guy to end. Like it's very funny for a heavy metal guy to be an ace. I don't care about his like appearance like that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but yeah, Metallica, when they, it's funny too, Terrence, because like, listen, I like Master of Puppets. I think that's a really good album, but I actually don't like the black album very

much. And I don't like Ride the Lightning or Injustice for All. I like Master of Puppets. That's like the one I like, some stuff on Ride the Lightning. but like the next time like my thing I like short hair Metallica

and I think part of that yeah well no not saying load and reload load and reload that was the one that came out around the time of Mission Impossible too right and that did yeah because Kirk Hammett was like just shredding like on the side of like a cliff

on that video yeah yeah yeah and they're they cut hair and like and you know like out of some kind of monster that it made james hetfield incredibly mad and uncomfortable because like he was like kirk kirk and lars were into like the gay thing like they made the album cover they call it load and then it's like a sperm like under a microscope and he was like i didn't like i wasn't like i wasn't like that it's like they outvoted me though so they outvoted me so i did do the gay thing you know laris

You know, Lars could have been one of the best tennis players in the world if he would have stayed with it? He was, like, one of the best junior tennis players in the world. And his father, Torben, was like one of the best tennis players in the world. He was like this Danish guy that was like this like hippie philosopher dude. He's like top 50 in the world in the 70s. And like he'd wear like the headband and the long hair and the whole garb and just like through the peace and love message kind of thing. Lars is like the same exact age as Dave Foster Wallace. I wonder if they ever played against each other.

That would be fucking crazy. Lars to me is, so I covered Metallica guys on my show with Tom Sharbling. And one of the things, so I follow. I pay attention. There's two guys I'm like obsessing over and paying attention to. One, Lars, two, the amount of slop about the amount of Eminem AI slop. What's happening with Eminem AI slop? It's insane.

It's like him and Charlie Kirk. It's like they're the top two. Yes. Like if you search Eminem on Facebook, it's like there's fake stories about them. Like stories where they're like Eminem met a troop and the troop said, hey, can I have your autograph? And Eminem said no, but can I have your words? And like stuff like that. Like a book here.

Here a random troop. Ride it on this starter cap. So, so I'm fascinated, but then yesterday I was looking at the subreddit for Metallica. And I don't know why, but a guy said, who do you think in Metallica has the biggest brain? And it was maybe the greatest threat I've ever seen in my life. Because 90% of people were like, well, obviously it's all, Lars. He's a business genius. And it's like, I listen to Lars talk.

He sounds like the dumbest guy ever. Like, I guess the smartest guy in Metallica is kind of. a faint what is their evidence for Lars being a business genius is that he like didn't like Napster he was like we shouldn't give our stuff away for free it's like that makes you a genius

just I don't want to lose money from that well then the interesting thing among them was like Lars is the business genius and James is like the heart and he's an intellectual and you can tell through his lyrics intellectual that yeah

yeah and they're like you can tell through his lyrics that he's well read and it's like I mean he really really a lot of song about having nightmares and stuff like that. That songs about bad dreams. I don't know, dude. You know, I was thinking about this in the gym yesterday, but like, there's just, you know,

me and Terrence have talked about this a little bit on the show, but like, there's no songs about just how hard you rock anymore. Like, ACDC, that was like their, that was their lane. You know what I mean? And then occasionally they had to sprinkle some other stuff in. I was at the gym. Skid Row came on and like Sebastian Bach is like one of the best vocalists ever. Like I mean, even if you're not into Skid Row or like that kind of shit, he's an amazing singer

objective. Yeah. Right. A lot of AI slog about Sebastian Bach. About Skid Row and Motley Crew. If you go on Facebook and you search Mick Mars, it's like so many people being like so many articles that are like Mick Mars reveals that everybody at Motley Crew is gay. Facebook is the tech bro

vision of the internet There's almost no engagement going on And everything's AI slop Everything That's where my favorite AI slot video Emerged from the one with like The prisoner who's like 3,000 pounds

And he's surrounded by all the prison guards And he's like 800 year The judge shut sentenicism to 800 years And he's like 800 years Take these chains off And say it again Are you familiar? Are you guys familiar? with this video. I am not. Can I tell you guys a story that's a big AI story? I'll read you the story,

actually. It's the story of Lily Tran. And she, oh, God, it's so inspiring. And I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, This story being about Eminem, even though it's not. The entire stadium in Minneapolis fell silent. As Pete Hegseth set aside his speech notes mid-event, his eyes locking onto a weathered sign held high on the front row. I got into Stanford. You said we'd stand together. The crowd held its breath as a young woman stepped onto the stage, Lily Tran, once an orphan in foster care, now a full scholarship student at Stanford University, one of the most prestigious institutions in America.

Oh, yeah. And so in the end, you know, he has her up there. But also you can see Eminem had her on stage and they saying, lose yourself together. David Gilmore had him on stage. David Gilmore, Eminem, and Pete Hanks. I'll have this little girl. This, this, whoever's making this A-I-Slob if it's coming from the same place is

the same guy that was bemoaning Les Wexner and Bill Cosby is downfalls. It's crazy. I have found so many. uh, Lily Tran stories. The first one I found was Eminem. She came up and saying, lose yourself.

Then James Hetfield had her on. And they always come with a picture of like James Hetfield or Pete Hegseth crying with his arm around a girl on a stage. Uh-huh. And like one of them is Eminem. And for some reason he's performing at the grand ol'all Opry. So that now I will say this. I will say this in the constellation of white rappers that are made, that are matriculating to country music.

And there are many. Eminem is holding firm. No, he's not. He's the biggest. Listen, the thing I've learned about him since doing Eminem guys is I do actually think he's one of the biggest celebrities in the world. And I think it's because he, I think it's because he's a mystery and that like he's not ever on TV. You know what I mean? He's not overexposed.

So like that. It's more of a parissocial. thing people have with them. He's not, yeah, you're right, Tom, he's not overly exposed and therefore people

can read a lot into him. He just did one movie was pretty good in it and then just went away. Yep. Well, he did happy bill more two. I guess he did funny people

like that little cameo on funny people. Well, it's interesting to compare him to jelly roll because he really did make music, the message of which

was predominantly, I'm not okay, but it was like, it was, which is a, very calm. But he's also very good at rapping. Like, even if you don't like it in the end,

he's very talented than what he does. That's what I'm getting at. Hardcore lib. And that's another thing. He's like holding the torch for like Mango Mussolini style liberalism. Yeah. Yeah. He fucking gave a speech at a Kamala Harris.

Thing, listen to this one. Every page is a grenade. Eminem dropped $100 million to launch Virginia Guffrey's memoir, sending power brokers into a meltdown. on a raw, unfiltered Instagram live, Eminem lit the fuse on a cultural detination, pledging a jaw-dropping 100 million to propel Virginia Guthrie's tell-all memoir into the spotlight.

Hood up, voice sharp as a blade, and branded the book a weapon of mass truth. And it goes on about, you know, every page is a grenade. That's beautiful. Yeah, he gave her $100 million. He gave $100 million to the book. It's going to make it the biggest book in the world.

In fairness, every page is a grenade dust sound like an Eminem lyric. Well, you would think that until you saw that James Hepfield also gave $100 million to the Virginia government book. These guys just have no understanding of like, that's probably like two thirds of these guys' fortunes. Yeah. Well, also it's like. Not all of it. What you, I, I hate AI.

But I do wonder, I think for me, I'm fascinated. Like, what is the utility of these stories that. are like every art jelly roll met lily tran and had her on stitch she went to stanford like all these guys they get the same story to a bunch of people so like all it makes me think is like is facebook just a website and ai just a thing to make old ladies like trick old ladies into crying or something like that because it just is so it's so strange to me that like i can't think of a use for a story like any of those stories.

You know what I mean? Like, I don't know what ends up happening after. And it's very obvious that the artists aren't putting the story out. Yeah. Because if they were, a guy like Eminem would be like, well, that already happened with like jelly roll, James Hetfield, David Gilmore, Pete Hegg said. Dude, I've seen some that are like, Chris Stapleton's dying. He's got three days to live. And it's like, oh, I know.

That's our friend was sending us that. Then he's like, he's like, he didn't he send us one turns. It was like, Chris Stapleton's like, he's like, Chris Stapleton's dying. and collapsed on stage the apparent result of pancreatitis or something. And it was just like a very obvious AI of him just laying in like Marty Stewart's arms, like sick. I think it's... The new one is Eminem dressed as George Strait. And it says Eminem, one last ride.

They're trying to goad him into making the jump to country. I hope he stands strong. He can't. He can never. Dude, the jelly roll, except in speech at the, what was it, Grammys, it was so cringe. It's so bad. Like, Eminem would never, Eminem is, like, a massive purveyor of cringe. Let's not get it twisted, but, like, he would never.

Well, that's just he's a guy in his, like, late 50s, like, still doing, like, what's essentially a young man's sport, you know. Well, jelly rolls. No spring chicken. That's true. He blew up well after 40s. I think an interesting thing, like, about Eminem is he's in his 50s, but his hair's, blacker than ever. You know what I mean? Like, he doesn't have a single gray.

Damn. It's all... Lucky bathroom. Very dark. So, yeah, lucky fucking motherfucker. Some guys have all the luck. You know, the other thing... That's another guy, though. He dyes his fucking beard and his hair, dude. I know. It's so... Eminem died.

Everybody, you know, everybody's afraid of the heavy hand of time, and I can sympathize. Look how gray. I'm going on. But... Yeah, I am too, but I think it looks okay. You know what I mean? at like uh uh and i just think dying it like m and m you're not fooling anybody fucking know you're dying your beard and your hair why are you doing you know you'd be better off going back to the blonde because it would have those gray's bed exactly exactly and he just he looks but yeah i i i keep wondering like AI is the main thing that AI has provided us

now is summaries that we have to scroll past to get the actual real information and fake stories about celebrities and fake movie trailers for like Avengers Doomsday. Like that's the three things that I've been able to find that. And there is a guy that animates Chuck Norris jokes, which is insane. Yeah. Listen, if you don't think Chuck Norris jokes are still going on, you're crazy. They're going on like all the fucking time. You just got to know where to look.

The thing I love about guys is you all just stay in touch with all the cultural currents that like, you know. Went away. You know what I mean? And to find out that these guys are actually still around and they've moved in using the latest technologies. I have a question. I have a question, Brian. Are there still, you remember the chive? Is that still, do they, are there still guys that are into the chive?

I'm going to tell you, this is very unfortunate. that the chive got rid of the chive vets. So there's a lot of turbulence going on in the chive world. Fuck, dude. So anytime you go and look at a chive thing now, all the guys are like, this article sucks. Bring back to chivets. They're not keeping calm and chiving on anymore.

No, they got rid. Listen, they did a playboy. That happened with Playboy too. They got rid of those naked ladies. Whoa. What about there ain't need playboy for any way? That was the whole point. Yeah.

So like the chive did They're saying that the chive is going to What's the word They're they're Giving into private equity is like the thing Because the chive is still worth a ton Because of chive TV Well chive TV

Chive TV is on it That's the thing Jesus It's on it bars everywhere People send me screenshots of chive TV on And bars all over the country Yeah dude I feel really out of touch now So yeah, so they're like, we're trying to like up our reputation. So we'll get rid of the chivats.

We won't encourage them. What do they want to be like fucking Bloomberg? Like what the fuck? I can't figure it out. We're going straight, hard news now. Actually, what it seems like they want to be is, remember the Goonies? Hey, did you see what Bill Murray did today? Like that seems like what they wanted to be, you know?

Yeah. Like they're cleaning up their act, but the people that have been there for like 20 fucking years are just like, I like the Chivets, man. I was here for the hotness. So, yeah, the turbulence over there is crazy. They've been mad about this for months. Damn, dude. It would be funny if they did them. We see you, we hear you, and brought the Chivets back.

They won't. Yeah, dude, it's private equity dog. Private equity is uniting all kinds of disparate groups. I'll say this. The new guy's obsession for us is breastraints. Breastrots? Yeah. You guys are like Twin Peets, Hooters or what?

Hooters, yep, Tilted Kill. Spike TV was like 30 years ahead of its time. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's like, do people still go to restaurants? It turns out yes. And they take their families to them. So it's, it's definitely, like Hooters is a family.

Like Tilt you killed as a restaurant? Yes. I had known that. I've driven by that many. times. I've never felt compelled to go in because of my version to, uh, I imagine it's patronized by place by guys that like their favorite movies, Boondock Saints and they like love the Boston Red Sox performatively and only drink Guinness. Well, we always say like it's primarily the regulars are all guys

that think they're viking with one of the bartenders or waiters. You know what I mean? Like like they don't know that the vibe is patted into the bill. Yes. And I, you know, I've said this before, but one of my best friends in the world is married to a Hooters waitress that he met when she was like working at Hooters. And it's just like, that's a dangerous thing to be out there into the world. You don't want people thinking that it's possible that you could marry your Hooters Waiatress because that would be bad for Hooters Wachers. But yeah, we read a lot of reviews of them. I've been reading like the subreddit for our slash breastraints where they're like

I can't believe they're closing all the fucking restaurants and then there's one guy that comments on every article and he goes we need a breastron in San Francisco good luck with that good luck with that it's just like it's town's this town's going gay and woke that's what they say too he'll say we need a breast in San Francisco and they'll be like the reason you don't have one is because like everybody thinks it's

it's all feminist there and it's like that's not why you don't have it's because it costs so much money to put a fucking hooters there that nobody's going to eat at you know oh man well boys I gotta take off obviously you can keep chatting if you want but before I

go yeah I'll wrap it up there but before we go we opened up a tab at the beginning of this conversation and I never got a full closure closure on, which was the guys in Texas buying yards and calling them

ranches. What is this new phenomenon, Tom? What is this? I just think it's, I think it's the Sheridan effect. It's the same reason you go into your grocer's freezer and see like, you know, Yellowstone TV dinners. Oh, I love that. Like now guys have gone full fantasy mode

and they've bought like, you know, some land, you know what I mean? Like they've brought like 100 acres, 200 acres, 300 acres and they're calling it a ranch and they don't understand scale it's kind of mirrors to me like why people don't really understand how just exactly how rich billionaires are for example they feel like that's just around the corner for them and it's not it's like there's people like uh you know um buying 300 acres worth of property and saying that they're ranchers now that that's that's awesome yeah because it's going to fall into disrepair oh yeah yeah

It's going to be great. Yeah, dude. And what they really have is just a really big backyard. Yeah. Well, that's pretty beautiful. It's a nice little portrait of American life. But that's all I've got. It's aspiration.

That's something we should all look for. Brian, thanks, man. Thank you for having me. I had a good time. Thank you, Brian. It's good to see you, as always. Good time too if you go over to patreon.com slash Trillbilly Workers Party. Good times don't have to stop for $5 a month.
