This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. Oh, all right. What's this? What's your shirt say? Hall of Oates. Hall of Oates, got it. Big Holland Oats guy. I thought it said date on the bottom.

And I was like, date. Wait, we're in a dating shirt for. Hollow notes, the great duo that are no longer friends, which is very sad. A lot is sad. I know. Daryl Hall, John Oates. I think they live in Nashville, actually. Most people do.

That's true, especially in the music industry. Okay, so I have to just ask you. I'm sure you're not going to want to have an opinion about, I don't know, maybe not. For Miley's Hannah Montana reunion, Alex Earl was the host of it, right? Alex Cooper. I can't see, this is the problem that I have with this feud that's happening right now.

I don't know who either of them are. I know they're both named Alex and they're both pretty blondes. And I know they're both don't like each other. Is that about it? Yeah. That's about right? That sounds right. So you had Alex Cooper, but you are friends with Alex Earle.

I know you've been on her show. No, I've never met her. Oh, okay. And then never, I was, I'm just, it's all backwards. I've been on Alex Cooper's show, call her daddy. You have? Yes. Okay.

Well, anyways, what do you make of all this drama? I think Dave Portnoy is having a field day with it. Yeah. I don't know Alex Earl at all, never met her. I've been around Alex Cooper twice, I think. And she's always been nice to me and I had a great time on her show. I don't know what the feud is about. I've heard hearsay, I guess.

What I know is Alex Cooper has this huge podcast podcast network and signed Alex Earle. Yeah. What was it? Hot Mess, I think was the podcast, signed to her network. She was there for a hot minute and then she left and no one really knew why. I've heard people say that it's just because, actually I think Dave was the one I heard say it. Like Alex Earl was always too big for Unwell Network.

Like she didn't need them. She has enough followers and enough whatever to do her own thing. And that's what everyone thought it was. But then now people are saying that Alex Cooper was like mean girl to her. So I don't know. All I can say is that my experience with Alex Cooper with Alex Cooper has been great. Okay. Well.

I don't know. You know, I wish them both the best. At this point, like I'm not even sure. They're both fine. Yeah, that's the thing. Like they're both so rich. right? Yeah.

They're so rich and young and hot and part of me is like, is this a PR stunt? Because they're both just getting so much attention from it. And they're both so fucking smart. Yeah. That maybe they planned it.

I don't know. Dave Porter is just sitting on the beach in Florida doing his tea by the sea. Which sounds like something you would do if I'm being honest. I'm annoyed with that he came up with that before I did when I was in paradise. Paradise because it's good.

Surely I've done a tea by the sea. There's some sort of, I mean, that's all it is. I'm getting the tea by the sea in paradise. Yeah. Yeah. Which, by the way, do we think that paradise ever coming back? No. No, it's dead, huh?

Dead. You'd think that the Bachelor, the Bachelor ever had overcome back? If anything comes back, I think it's got to be the Bachelor and that's it. What a sad, sad turn of affairs because that was a good job for me. It was a great job for you. But honestly, I was kind of over the show. If we went and did the show again, I'd really push for like. Can we just go back to where it was and have the same kind of thing?

I really liked that old nostalgia, the campiness of that place. And season like four and five and six, that was like the golden age of Bachelor and Paradise. It was the golden age of life. I know. I was young. I was in my 30s. Uh, anyways. Music was good.

Music was great. Instagram didn't exist. I mean, yeah, it did. Maybe it did. People didn't care about it as much. It was really nice. No, they did not at all. That was nice.

What's going on with you? I just had a facial at home and it was so lovely. Someone came to your house to rip off your skin on your face. She did. And it is glowing. You are. You're not seeing the glow. Yeah, you've got glow for show.

It's actually insane. It's so sick. I wish it would stay like this. It looks so good. Yeah, this woman, her name is Tammy Fender. and she just moved to Nashville, I think from Florida. And yes, she comes to your house and gives you this incredible facial. And all the products that she uses are all organic.

And she like makes them all that same day. Like none of them have like sit or have a shelf life or anything. It's all very like pure organic ingredients. I'm a huge fan. I mean, the shot like that's crazy. Yeah. You look like a porcelain doll over there. I do.

I'm here for it. I've never had a facial. Should I get one? I was going to ask you if you've ever had one. I feel like you would enjoy it. Really? Yeah. I mean,

and if you get like a good facial, you know, if you go to someone good, like Tammy, they do the facial stuff, but like in between the steps, they like massage your arms, massage your neck,

massage your hands. Like it's kind of like a, like an all inclusive experience, you know, if you get someone good. Got it. Okay. Yeah,

but then is your face all fucked up up for a couple days? No, what do you mean? It looks like, look at my face. I literally just got done. I know,

but I feel like it's in a, like red and like no it's like it's been scrubbed I have great skin yeah and it doesn't get red but no you just have to go to someone good that's going to assess your skin when she starts or he starts okay maybe and then they use the correct products and like you know like it depends on how deep you like there's so many different kinds of facials you can be getting a chemical peel you could just be getting a hydrating facial you could be getting extractions like there's all sorts of things. So I would say since you're a facial virgin to start slow and just do like a nice, like, you know, hydrating, rejuvenating facial. Okay. Okay. How much we're talking about here?

I mean, if you get a good one, they're not cheap. Oh, we're talking about 200 bucks? I think you can get, I think you can get a good if you go somewhere else, not to the house. I think you can get a really good facial for 200 bucks. Okay. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if I need anything for $200. You can get a great facial for $300. I don't, I mean, is it coming with a happy ending? Like, what's happening here?

I mean, mine don't. The ones I've never had that, but I'm sure you live in Los Angeles. I'm sure you can find it. All right, all right. Now we're talking. I'm just kidding. All right. Well, maybe I'll get one of those.

Maybe I won't. What do they do? Do they like squeeze all the blackheads out of your nose? They use a special tool. It's called extraction. Gross. And yeah, so if you want that, which I like that. And I don't ever have too many.

So, and if you get someone good, then they do it where they don't, it doesn't make a red spot. It doesn't do anything. But yeah, I like them to get the little, I like the shit to come out of my pores, you know? Like, it doesn't need to be in there. And I'm not going to do it because it's scary and painful. Yeah. But when they do it, it just happens so quick. You barely feel it.

Lovely. Yeah, it's nice. Well, good. I'm glad your skin is rejuvenated and ready to go be covered in dust for the entire weekend in Palm Springs Why is it is it Coachella

Part 2? What country style? Stage coach baby Stage coach bro I wonder if any Bachelor Nation pokes will be going to stagecoach and fucking each other 100,000% yes God those are the days when people

were going to stage coach and just absolutely ruin everything for paradise Nice. Yep. I do miss those days. Are you playing stage coach? I'm not playing the actual festival this year, but I am playing what some might call the It After Party of the weekend.

Okay. It's called Desert Nights. And I play Sunday night with two friends and Big X, the plug. Okay. So that's exciting. Is two friends the name of a guy or like, or is it two friends as a DJ duo? Okay. You don't know two friends?

I don't know a single DJ. Hello. Yes, you do. Okay, I know you. I know you know Diplo. I've heard of Diplo. Calvin Harris. Calvin, he is a DJ.

That's a DJ. Who's the Asian guy with long hair? Griffin? Nope. Oh, Steve Aoki. Yes, Aoki. I've heard of that. Anyways, you're the most famous DJ I have ever heard of.

Well, I love that for me. But yeah, I'm playing that and that should be super sick. And before that on Saturday, during the day, actually. Surely, surely, this is going to be allowed to be announced by Wednesday. I got in trouble for posting the flyer too early today. But I'm playing a party for Levi's during the day on Saturday. And lo and behold, my little sister, Noah, is also performing at this party.

And I didn't know until they sent me the flyer. Have you talked to her? You're like, we should, we could share a hotel room. Well, I sent it to her today. And I was like, L.O.L. I've been booked on this party for weeks. And they just sent me the flyer. And I guess you're performing.

And she didn't know either. It was funny. So that should be fun. Nice. And Noah is playing the festival. Oh, she is? Who's she bringing on? And she always, I feel like does like fun collapse. I mean, I can't say because then I would ruin it.

Say it and then I'll believe it out. I'm excited to hear about everything that happens at stage. So when does this happen? This happens this weekend. So Noah plays Friday at the festival. Saturday's our party, like Levi's. Sunday is Desert Nights. And then I'll be talking to you, I'm sure, on Monday.

Oh, well, did you like see any of Coachella? I was, I've been watching the Coachella live stream and I got to say it's so much better to watch it from home. No. You didn't watch anything? No. Why would I do that? I don't know.

They've got bands you like, I feel like. I'll tell you what I wish I was out right now. That's happening right now. I'll tell you what I wish I was at right now that's playing right now. Fish at the sphere. Dude. Oh. I saw this one video of, you know how like the whole thing is a video screen.

Obviously you played in it. Yes, I know. For the listeners out there, I saw this whole, like, animated thing of a hot dog that would be turned into a spaceship and then flew off into space. And I can only imagine the terror, the horror that I would be feeling if I was, you know, on some, the things that you would take at a fish show. And that and a hot dog started flying across the cosmos. No thank you. But also, what a great DMT trip that would be. But anyways, tell me more about the Cichella online, bro.

The Cella. Okay. It's like they live stream every stage. There's absolutely zero need to go to the actual festival. I don't know why anybody spends all this money and goes. The weather's never good. You have to walk so fucking far. Your feet hurt.

You're covered in dust. Your lungs are full of dust. Like it's, I don't know, the live stream was sick. Bieber is, you know, was the big headliner. That's what everyone's talking about. Did you see any clips of Justin Bieber's performance? I saw that he did one with, what's her name? What is her name?

He had tons of guests. Fini is the sister. Oh, Billy Isles. She brought Billy Isles up for one less only girl, which was so cute. It's like she was like a huge Bieber fan as a kid. Oh, for sure. Here's like the crazy shit about this whole Bieber performance, which you don't know because he didn't watch and you live under a rock and all you care about his golf. But so Bieber has like not played a show in years. Like years.

This was like his big comeback or whatever. You know, I feel like he's been through some shit. Like I feel like he's pretty vocal about that. He's been through some shit and he sold his catalog because I don't know. He's been having money problems. Sold his catalog. made this money back, books this Coachella performance. No one's seen him perform in so fucking long.

He put out some music last year, whatever, but like no tour, no nothing. So he books Coachella. He's the highest paid artist to ever play Coachella. I forget what the number was exactly. You can look it up. Maybe I don't know. You have to look it up. Maybe $10 million or that doesn't seem high enough.

But highest paid artist at Coachella. And week in one, all the headlines were about how he went out there in a fucking hoodie with no production and played his own songs from his own YouTube channel and like up on the like on the screens like that was the performance and and it's funny because like critic quote unquote critics tried to say it was terrible you know and be like Justin doesn't give a fuck he didn't put any effort into this show. What an like that what a you know embarrassment like so it's like what a kick in the dick to do to Coachella whatever. But what's crazy is the fans fucking loved it like all the people that were there and all the fans thought it was the best thing they'd ever seen.

And it was just so interesting because all these other artists spend all their money. Like most artists spend all of their money that they're making on the show. You know, like something my sister has done quite frequently is spent more than she's making on the production to make the show great. And obviously like most artists like that that's what people expect. Like Taylor Swift, her show is huge. And you know, Sabrina Carpenter also played at Coachella and had a huge production. But for Justin to be able to go out there and just sit and sing along to his like YouTube. But I think it was very cool.

And I think young people, like Jen Zier's, like the young crowd, I think what worked is that it was so organic and authentic and relatable. And it's pretty crazy. It's pretty crazy that he pulled it off. And so that he had this huge success with Weekend 1. And then Weekend 2, he came out and like he just had a different energy. Like I don't know if he was expecting to like for Week in 1 for like no one to give a shit or for him to not have fun. Like he just had a different vibe. Like he was smiling and he was singing different and had all this energy and brought all these guests up.

and it was like a completely totally different show. And I feel like Justin Bieber is back, baby. Oh, he never left us, you know. He's back, baby. I'm sorry, his purpose album was one of the best albums, like pop albums of all time. So fucking good. Did Bieber and your sister ever a date?

I feel like that would have been something that would have happened. No, but Noah was obsessed with Justin Bieber. What about you? Were you obsessed? No, I was way too old. I was too old for Bieber. I was too old for One Direction. But I do have a vivid memory of Miley doing something.

with Justin Bieber, like during the like, baby, baby era. Maybe it was like a daytime show or something. And Noah, I can't remember if my mom took her in there or Miley, but somehow Noah acquired the outfit Justin Bieber wore at whatever thing we were at, the pants, the shoes, she had the whole outfit. She brought it home with her, like stole it out of the dressing room. Wow, does she still have it? I think so.

That's amazing. Go sell it to a hard rock cafe. She was a huge Beaver fan. Well, who isn't? Well, I'm glad he's back. Me too. I feel like the world's a better place when Justin Bieber is rocking and a rolling.

I agree. I agree. Anyone else of note at Coachella? Well, something you would have liked. Casey Musgraves was the surprise performer for a week and two. I watched her entire set. She's absolutely incredible. She's got a new single out called Dry Spell.

Have you heard that by chance? Yes, I think I have. I love it. Do you like it? Yeah, it's good. I think it's really, really good. Like, I liked Casey's last album, but I'm really excited for this new one. Like, I feel like she's going to hit us with some bangers.

Spacey Casey's the best. Speaking of Spacey Casey, she was the one who saw UFO and she was traveling from wherever to wherever, and then she videotaped it. She did. Have you seen on Prime Age of Disclosure? No. Oh, my God. Brandy.

What is this? Is this an alien thing? It's an alien documentary. Oh, someone's. told me to watch this. Featuring 34 U.S. government insiders, this explosive documentary reveals an 80-year-old global cover-up of non-human intelligent life at a secret war among major nations reverse engineer advanced technology of non-human origin, the age of disclosure on prime. You've got to watch this. Really? It is wild, my friend. Wild. And it's like all real.

It's all government officials under oath. How are they able to come on and say these things? It's like they're under oath and shit. So the government let them go do this. I think at some point they can't stop everyone from anyways. You just have to, if you want to be really freaked out by the fact that like we joke around about the alien thing, it's 100% happening. Okay. 100%.

We got the crafts. We have bodies, recovered bodies from. What do they look like? All different types of bodies, a lot of little gray ones, you know. They got the bodies, they got the spacecrafts. They're trying to reverse engineer it. They might have figured it out, but they don't want to release that information because if you have, if you have the technology that they have, then we don't have to rely on fossil fuels or solar anymore.

Free energy and it might crumble our global economy. Let's crumble that bitch, you know? Let's crumble it. I feel like there's got to be a reason the government is letting us see this. I just think that there's just too much out there. They can't keep it under wraps anymore. Maybe. Or maybe they're like easing us in to like, hey, guys, we've got to tell you.

We got these extraterrestrial interdimensional beings that are just kind of, they're kind of fucking with us. There might be some people that live in the sea, the Atlantians. I don't know. Do you think? I could definitely see. Well, because a lot of those spaceship, go in the water and you're like, where are they going?

Maybe they got a base down there, dude. I don't know about that. They could. How would we ever know? We would know. Would we? I think we got taps on the ocean, right? The government might not want to let you guys know that there's true.

Lights in the ocean. You're like, what is that down there? Is that a spaceship? Anyways, age of disclosure, you need to go see it. Okay. Matt would love to watch that. Oh my God. He's going to love it.

You're going to love it too. Oh, yeah. Okay, great. Yeah. I watched a movie that I feel like is also on Prime. Okay. I think it's called Mercy. with Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson.

Have you seen this? No, but great cast. Great cast. Set in the near future, a detective accused of murdering his wife has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to an advanced AI judge, mercy. 90 minutes.

So is the whole movie just him trying to convince him? Yes. Yeah? What's fucking crazy, listen to what's fucking crazy about this. My expectations were very low because I was like, there's no way that this is going to be a good movie if the only fucking scene, and it's not the only scene, but the majority of the movie is him sitting in locked in a

fucking chair talking to a screen. You do not see Rebecca Ferguson except for the robot on the screen. Like that's it. At first I was like, God, this is the easiest role she's ever booked. But honestly, maybe it was harder to only be this fucking AI on the screen. It was pretty wild. I really liked it. Like, it wasn't like the greatest fucking thing I'd ever seen.

It wasn't like some crazy good, you know, twisty, turning storyline. Like it is what they say it is. Like the guy got accused of killing his wife and he's got to prove himself innocent. But like the, you know, like the catches that like the judge is AI. And so the judge,

the whole premise is like this judge isn't taking into any emotional anything into account. Right? Like when he's and the way he has to prove his innocence is there's like a percentage of guiltiness like probability and his is it like, let's say 98. And it has to drop below 92 for him. to not die in 90, like, there's like a timer.

And in 90 minutes, if the probability doesn't drop, he's dead. And so, like, things will come up that he learns or uncovers that to like a human with emotional intelligence would make you find him less guilty looking, but the robot can't compute that. Right. And so, like, that's, it's interesting. It's a really interesting watch. I don't want to give any more away, but I really enjoyed it.

All right. I mean, like, it's got terrible reviews. I know. I mean, like I said, it's not, it's no fucking interstellar. Like, don't get. You know, don't have your expectations too high. Yeah. But I enjoyed it.

A lot fucking better than Greenland. I'll tell you that. Greenland, too, is terrible. Speaking of terrible movies that are fun to watch, Thrash on Netflix. Have you seen this? No. When a category five hurricane decimates a coastal town,

the storm surge brings devastation, chaos, and something far more frightening, hungry sharks. Thrasch. Awful. I mean, no. It's like bad good, you know? Mm-hmm. Phoebe Devinor, the girl.

Oh, yeah, I love her. She is the main character. Okay. You know her from Bridgerton. Bridgeton. Yeah. Demon Hunso, Blood Diamond and Guardians of Galaxy and Amistad and Gladiator. Anyways, he's great in it.

and yeah, that's basically it for the stars. It's kind of like Jaws, you know? Mm-hmm. But instead of like they were out in the ocean and Jaws, like the ocean comes in, and so everyone's like on rooftops, like trying to stay away from the water and then all of a sudden, like when they swim to like try to get out,

like then the sharks just come and eat them. Pretty great, pretty fun. If you want to watch kind of like a cheesy, bad, fun little slasher horror gore film, You can do worse than thrash. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not super sold on it, but we'll see.

I started reading Famous. Oh, I read that. I know you did. It's so good. Is it great? Loved it. It's so short, though. It's so short.

It's so small. I picked it up in the airport before Hawaii and started it on the flight home. I didn't get super far, but it's just such a small book. Yeah. I was like, how are they going to tell any story here? You may have already said, but it's going to be a movie with Zach Efron. Yes. Once I read it, I was like, okay, this is going to be a movie immediately.

This is so fun. So is Zach playing the real celebrity or the fake celebrity? I don't know. I was trying to picture him as I was reading, but then I was like, oh, fuck. But what if he's not this guy? What if he's the real celebrity? I don't know. I would think Zach would be playing the lead, though, which would be the guy pretending to be the celebrity.

Yeah. My name is Lancelot Blue Dunquist. And the best thing about me is when you doll me up just right. I look just like a movie star James Jansen. Meet Lance, 38-year-old, works a meaningless job, still lives above his parents' garage, by all accounts, a world-class loser, except for one glaring exception. He's got a million-dollar face. Lance has been mistaken 28 times for the Oscar-winning movie star James Jansen,

and for the last 10 years he saved his money, studied Jansen's films, his movies, His idiosyncrasies, even the way he speaks. Now, after an unceremonious termination from his job, Lance is aside that the time has come to go after his dream. From New York's ridiculous avant-garde off-off-Broadway scene to the surreal glitter of Los Angeles, follow Lance on this madcap journey of self-abandonment to become his likeness, famous by Blake Crouch. Yeah, it is so fun.

Highly recommend. Let's see who's going to be in it. Zach Ephron, Phoebe, again, from Bridgerton. Oh. Is he going to be in it? Bill Pullman's in it. So, Zach's playing Lance Dunquist. Who is playing the star?

Who looks enough like him? I know. That's what I was thinking. Maybe Daniel Zavato. Maybe he's playing, you know, because they interact with one another. I mean, they could still film that. Yeah. Technically.

Yeah. Anyways, oh, where are you? Where are they, is he in, is he in Broadway? yet? Kind of. He's in New York. Yeah. That's fun.

He's in New York. That scene's fun and fucking crazy and hilarious. And then when he goes to L.A., even better. Oh, my God. I'm glad you're reading it. Love. Does it say when the movie comes out? No.

This next one that I've got is, it's just tough because it's on MGM Plus, which is like, who's got that? And so now I'm having to pay for that. I'm paying for so many subscription. I am too. And they keep increasing the fucking price. And I'm mad about it. I'm just not even looking at my.

bills anymore. I can't do that. But I've talked about this before, this show before, and I'm obsessed with it. It's called From. You remember this? Yeah, I do. It's from the creator of Lost. It's got the guy from Lost. Harold Perry and Enew. He was also in Romeo and Juliet as Mercutio. A town with the hidden secret experiences strange occurrences that intensify at night. Mysterious forces disrupt everyday routines as residents try to preserve stability. and community while attempting to comprehend their surroundings from on MGM Plus. You can also get it on Prime,

be it to pay for like each episode. It's ridiculous. It's so good. It's so fun. We're in the fourth season. We've been, Sarah and I've been waiting for this thing to come back. Now that it's back,

we've bought our MGM Plus account back up again. I know it's crazy to tell you to buy a subscription for one show, but this is the show you should do it for. Damn, okay. It's high praise. It is. Yeah. All right.

Let me ask you something. Okay. Are eggs vegetarian? I think technically, yeah. Yeah. But what? No. But they're not vegan.

They're not vegan, but they're vegetarian. But it's meat. No? No. It's an embryo and an embryos eat is meat. It's not yet, though. It's not yet, though. I feel like it is because when I think of meat, I think of a protein and what's more

protein pack than an egg. That's silly. There's a ton of things with protein. Well, yeah, I know. But an egg, that's going to become an animal. That's crazy. So you can say like, well, it's not an animal yet. Right.

But it's going to be one. So. Well, it's not because you're about to eat it. I know. And it's not because it's not. Fertilized. Fertilized. Yeah.

I know, but just, it seems like it's a little bit of a loophole for the vegetarians out there. Are there any other foods that are loopholes? I don't know. but I do feel like an egg is meat. I don't know what. I can't put my finger on it. Nope. Can we ask chat GPT why?

Oh, please do. Why are eggs vegetarian? So eggs are generally considered vegetarian because they don't contain meat or animal flesh. Since eggs come from chickens but aren't embryos and less fertilized, they don't involve killing an animal. That's what a lot of vegetarian diets. Of course, it depends on the kind of vegetarian philosophy, but that's the general idea. I feel like it is.

I feel like this is just a loophole. Yeah, I get what you mean. It can feel that way. Especially an egg has the potential to become a chicken. A lot of vegetarians make that distinction by saying it's okay because no life was taken. But I think yeah, philosophically, live a gray area and some people who are strictly vegan avoid them

for that reason. Anyways, I love eggs. They are my favorite thing. No, they're not. They're my favorite food for sure. Eggs? Oh yeah. That's fucking crazy. Really? Yeah. They're delicious. How do you like your eggs? I like eggs, but like, have you ever had mashed potatoes or mac and cheese?

They're way fucking better. First of all, you need egg to make mac and cheese, one. I'm just saying. Have you ever had a sunny side up egg on a little piece of toast with some butter? And then you open up that yolk and it oozes down. And it's, I have. I don't know if there's a better. How do you like your eggs, though?

I prefer them over medium. Okay. So you don't like a lot of run. Not a ton, but I like a little. Little run. Yeah, a little. yolk. Do you like any kind of fancy way to eat eggs? Like, do you like poached eggs, eggs, Benedict? Um, I don't love eggs Benedict. I can do a poached egg. Okay. What about scramby eggs or,

um, the breakfast burrito? Like, there's a million ways a breakfast taco. I mean, yeah, an omelette. I'm done with whatever. I tell you what. I even like hard boiled eggs, like truly. I like hard boiled eggs too. I tell you what, man, we're losing a lot of the great, like, chain restaurants in this land just because people aren't going out, you know, like you aren't going to TGI Fridays anymore or Chili's. Well, that's because it's terrible for you. Totally. But I'm sorry, a Denny's or a Waffle House?

It might be one of the great eating establishments in the world. Have you ever been? I don't know. You've never been to a Denny's? Oh, I've been. You know what I think I prefer is I hop. Do you like pancakes? Yes, I do.

Well, then that's for you, but I'm more of an egg man. They got eggs at I hop. Yeah. Well, anyways, I love it. love eggs and that's why I can never be vegetarian. Actually, wait, I could. It doesn't make any sense and you guys know it. It's BS.

It's got to be. It's got to be meat. It's coming from an animal. It's not meat. It's coming from an animal and inside it has all the things to make the animal. That's meat. It doesn't matter. It does matter.

Meat is only one part of the animal. Like if you eat salmon skin, that's not meat. It's skin. Yeah, but a vegetarian can eat salmon skin. It doesn't matter. I'm just saying. No, I think that it's part of the animal doesn't mean it's meat. I think that is considered meat to skin. No.

Yeah. Ask chat. Ask chat. Is animal skin considered meat? Good question. So generally, animal skin is not considered meat since it's a byproducts. Meat refers to the flesh of animals. That said, some people who avoid animal products also choose not to wear leather for animal

biproducts, especially in vegan lifestyles. You're trying to tell me that pork rinds, aren't considered meat. Ah, I see what you mean. Grimes definitely come from the skin of a pig. And since pigs are animals, they are connected to meat production. So, yeah, grinds are considered a meat product, even though they're just crispy skin. But they're not meat.

They're skin. I don't know. I think, I don't think there are any rules. I think people are just making these things up. For sure. As they go along, not really sure. You know, we went and watched the other day? Hmm.

We went and watched Superman, the Henry Cavill one, which great. Great Superman. Never thought. You never did? I noticed something kind of interesting about the plot of Superman that I just wanted to talk about, okay? Okay. So in Superman, effectively what happens is that at Krypton, the planet is dying and his parents send Superman to Earth basically because he's like the last remaining person from Krypton and he goes to Earth. And because of the Earth's yellow sun, he has like crazy powers.

whatever. That's like the basis of the movie, which I'm sure everyone kind of knows. And then he has to save the earth from General Zod who comes in and tries to get the codex and tries to get Superman and tries to kill him. And, you know, he's like, I got to save the earth. I got to do this for the earth. I got to save the earth. And it's like, yeah, dude. But also, if you never showed up, you wouldn't need to save the earth. And also, you are making so much destruction. around here. I mean, there's nothing left in New York in this movie. I mean, so many buildings are going to...

Millions of people are dying. All right? You know, everyone's like, he's a hero and he's saving the planet. But you know what? It's like starting a fire to be the guy who gets to put it out. You know? Like, that's what it is. You're like, oh, thank God we have Superman.

But if Superman didn't show up, we wouldn't have this problem. True. So I... It's crazy. Like, he's created this issue for us. these people are coming and fucking with us because of Superman. So is he really a hero? I maintain, maybe not.

Ooh, maybe that's why I never liked it. See, there it is. I've never been a big Superman gal. Also, I mean, it's not fun if, like, you are completely devoid of any fuckery, right? Well, there's kryptonite yet. But really, he's so fast, he can fly, he can chew lasers out of his eyes. He's stronger than a diesel train or whatever. you know, he's faster than a speeding bullets.

He can, like, fly into space. He uses the sun's energy. What can't he do? Is there anything Superman can't do? He can see through people. He can see the X-ray vision. That's cool. Is it Stan Lee?

Whoever created Superman was like, this one is going to get all the things. I don't think so. I think you need to get just some of the things, all right? It's a couple. You only get a couple mutations. You don't get all of them. It's no fun.

And there's just one rock that fucks you up? You're telling me that the one thing that can fuck you up was a rock, dude. What do you, scissors? That was a rock paper scissors joke. Wow. The Gulf Channel is really getting to you. That was a good joke, and you liked it.

Anyways, I maintain that Superman is not a hero. It's like starting a fire, so you can be the one to put it out. Sure. And then getting all the accolades for being the hero. But, dude, you started it. My guy? Crazy? A little.

A little bit. Anyways, those are the rants that I have today. Wow. Anything been bugging you? Any pet peeves these days? Anything I really want to grind your gears about? This is so silly, but like, I'm fucking pissed about this. Are you aware of like the whole tick ordeal we're dealing with as a country right now?

No. You live in California, so of course not. But like everywhere else in this country, the ticks are out of fucking control. Okay. You know, and there's all these theories, do you know about these theories that some people say Bill Gates released all these ticks? and they give people a meat allergy because Bill Gates has some fucking reason he doesn't want people to eat meat.

And there's all these theories. I don't fucking know. Here's what I do know. My horse got Lyme disease last year. Okay. Not trying to have Astra get it. Not trying to have any of the horse. Other horses get it.

I'm not trying to get it. Matt's had four ticks on him like every single night before we go to bed. He finds them. They're so fucking small. I honestly don't even know how he sees them. If they were in my hair, I wouldn't even know.

And how did we get here? How did we get here? I feel like ticks have always been around. And also you live out in the woods. So bad. I know, but like last year, I didn't pull ticks off of any of the other horses, only star. And this year, all of the horses have gotten ticks, all of them.

Dang. Just say ticks to your TikTok account and just the onslaught of the content of people having, like having problems with ticks. Like it's fucking crazy. It's all over. People are just getting sick left and right. And it's out of control. Getting sick from ticks.

They're dropping boxes of ticks from the sky. No. They want us to have, yes. What would that do for us? I don't know. You should look it up. It's something about Bill Gates. You know, I don't really follow this shit.

This sounds like some 4chan shit. Yeah, for sure. But so, like, I don't really know. I don't really know about all that. What I do know is that my animals are getting ticks, and I don't fucking like it. Yeah. Maybe it has to do with the temperatures being wonky in the planet.

But how come, like, we've just got to figure this out. The ticks can't just keep fucking multiplying. Do you want me to ask Chachy-PT what's happening with the ticks? Sure. I wish they'd tell us how to fucking get rid of them. Can we just, like, burn them? them from the earth? Like, what is the tea? They're useless. They have no part of the ecosystem. Hey, chat, GPT. Right, exactly. They're... I know you do. Shut up. Let me ask the question.

Okay. Hi. Got it. No worries. Say one more word before I ask the question. I'm going to kill you. Okay. I'm here and I'm listening. Let's go ahead and ask you a question. I'm ready to help and I want to make sure we're on the... Why are there so many ticks in the United States right now? Right now, there are more ticks in the U.S. due to a combination of factors. warmer winter, survive longer, and a wetter spring has created ideal breeding conditions. Small mammals like deer and mice are boosting tick populations and suburban being ticks and humans into closer contact. So it's a big year for tick active. Just be extra cautious when you're outdoors.

Big year for tick activity. It's fucked up. I told you it had to do with the fucking climate. What would you fucking do if you got that alpha gal shit where you couldn't eat meat ever again? What would you do? I don't know what that is. Alpha gal, it's from ticks. You get it from a tick bite.

and it makes you allergic, allergic to red meat. That would suck. But then I guess I'd be healthier. That would fucking suck. I mean, it might be a blessing, though. It might be healthier. You know, my cholesterol might go down a little bit. That means you would never get to eat a steak ever again.

Well, it would make you sick or it doesn't taste good? No, it makes you sick. You're allergic. Can you eat white meat? Can you eat pork? Can you eat chicken? From what I understand, it's no red meat. What about eggs?

Why don't you ask chat? No. You're over him? Yeah, he's in timeout. He was annoying me a little bit. Tell you what, if Matt South couldn't eat red meat, he would start up to death. No, he'd be fine. He'd figure it out.

He wouldn't. Yeah, I think he'd. Well, I hope you guys don't get that thing. If I couldn't ever have a cheeseburger again, I would be fucking devastated. I hear you. I'll tell you what I've been doing recently that I've been liking a lot, though. I've been making a lot of tacos with ground meat, but I've been using turkey. I do that a lot.

It's just as good. I can't really tell the difference. And I know it's healthier for me. And also, I'll say this. Every time I see a cow playing on TikTok or a pig, you know, that's like in someone's house or something and like they're a pet, I feel terrible. I don't care about the birds, though.

They can all die. But you know what? What? You know what the ironic thing here is? The birds, they eat the ticks. So we need the birds. We need the fucking birds. The chickens and the guinea fowl eat ticks.

We got to guess. Let's get more chickens out there. We got to be more like Hawaii. Here's the problem. I can't have them because Astra would eat them. Who cares? I don't want them to die. Oh, I send them out there.

Who cares? No, I can't do that. She wouldn't eat them. If you told her not to do it, she wouldn't do it. She's killed two chickens in her lifetime. What is she a fox? She does remind me of a fox. She's wily?

Yeah. Well, it was sad. I don't think she meant to kill the first one. Yes, she didn't. But there's no denying that she meant to kill the second. Do you know the reason why dog toys squeak? No. It's just got fucked up, but it's to emulate the sound of a dying animal.

Oh, God. That makes so much sense. And that's why they want to get the thing out because they're like, it's still alive. Oh, my God. I hate it. This is awful. All right, that's our show, folks. Oh, I'm going to have nightmares.

All right. What do you got coming up? You're going to stage coach. I'm going to stage coach. Coach, baby. Nice. Can people go to your show or what? What's that?

Can people go to your show? You got to be invited or what? That's a great question. I think you can technically maybe go to desert nights. I need to find that out, actually. The Levi's party, I feel like, is maybe an invite only. But I could be wrong about that. Okay.

You know, I don't know. But you know what, guys, if you can buy tickets and come, I will post links this week. If you find yourself at Stagecoach, you better go see Noah Cyrus on Friday. And if you see me, say what's up, because I'll be there. All right. Yeah. Well, have fun. Don't inhale too much dust.

Oh, I'm going to try. Stay away from the ticks. But you'll find it. No ticks out there. Thank God. Yeah, no ticks out there. And all right, I guess I will see you next week. Yeah, see then.

All right. Why have tears? We love you. Love you. Stay away from the ticks. Stay away from the ticks. Bye. Bye.

Also, eggs are mean. What are we talking about? They're not. It's crazy.
