What's Going On Officer? I'm Just Watering These Shrubs

can shove in her mouth, ge Wi, nice job. And how I was obsessed with getting in the Guinness Book and I tried all kinds of different things to get in. And my mom, how my mom went along with it all, which was very nice for I've never I have no memory of my dad being involved. He probably was. He had to be just thinking I was never gonna make it in the world. He was like, well, there's my son and getting into bed with his roller skates. Right. I'll bet he did think that it's like Hank Hill

and King of the Hill. That boy ain't right. He couldn't have been pleased.

fan favorite. It's every week we do this on a Friday, we take a look back at the week that was, the week of shows. We call it cow. It's clips of the week. The Silent Riot has begun. Clean to shug pot.

of his tariff. It's the bond market. Those markets weren't imploding last night.

charged with attempted murder. So short version of the story, there's a high speed chase in LA. Got nothing to do with Weezer or twenty one Pilots or any other band from that era. It's a high speed chase, car crashes, three suspects run through a neighborhood that happens to be a neighborhood where the guy from Weezer lives. One funny thing about the guy, one of the guys who ran from the car is he hopped a fence into the backyard of some fancy house, strips down to his boxer shorts,

grabs a hose, and starts walking around watering plants. Did you see the video of it? I did pretty clever. Actually, I was going to say that was not the worst idea. No, I'm surprised he got caught because he just very nonchalantly walks around watering plants. So you know, if the cops would peek over say yeah, yeah, oh, what's going on, officers, I'm just watering these shrubs, but somehow they knew he was one of the guys they were looking for, and

he got arrested. Not quite clear on this. I've read a number of reports, including TMZ on how the Weezer household became aware of what was going on. But apparently Missus Weezer I don't remember the bass player's name, it doesn't matter. Missus Weezer became aware that there was some sort of criminal activity in your neighborhood. She's a gun enthusiast, which I now know, we now know owns guns. There's lots of videos of our online at the gun range

practicing shooting her gun. She comes out of the house with a gun in her hand. Well, I think three. A lot of these numbers keep changing. I don't know why the details aren't better because they have body cameras on. But anyway, it looked like there were three. Lad Come around the corner. There's a woman in a driveway with a gun. They yell at her to drop the weapon. They yell at her several times to drop the weapon. She doesn't drop the weapon. Yesterday TMZ was reporting it

is unclear whether she fired the weapon. Last night, on ABC News, the reporting was she turns, she points the weapon at the cops and fires her weapon.

has a conversation. She and the babysitter come out, and that's why you've seen the video off of her being told to get down on your knees, lay down on the ground, become and arrest her, that sort of thing. So she was that lightly wounded. She took one bullet to the shoulder. But how was she not dead within seconds of being filled full of holes? Was that on purpose? And if so, why did she get different treatment than like the guy that gets shot because he's got a

cell phone in his hand and doesn't understand English. I mean, we've seen all these horrifying accidents. Not blaming the cops here, just I don't understand why she isn't dead. And did they miss? Like, are they really bad shots? Did they panic? Did they not follow their own training? And actually not? Did they not all unload on her? Oh that's usually what happens.

you in the hand, so you drop the gun. They need to eliminate the threat, which usually means because I took some gun training from law enforcement for some fun a couple of years ago, sent her a mass and the threat. So they all had their guns out, I assume, pointed right at her chest. Expert marksman guns pointed at her chest. She raises the gun and fires at them and one bullet barely gets her. What happened there? Somebody

needs to explain this story. Yeah, there's more, and I'll bet this is going to be used next time there is a person of color shot who didn't have it coming, you know, And these are very tough situations cops end up with and end up in with split second decisions

and lives on the line. But the next time you have one of those, you know, it was a cell phone, it wasn't a gun, or is a toy gun or whatever it was, you know, one of those stories, this is going to be used as Okay, So if it's a white woman, he's rich, she gets shot in the shoulder and gets to walk back in the house and you let her surrender. If it's a black guy, spanic guy. Whatever you're gonna whatever the situation is going to be, you kill you know that's gonna come up. Because this

is weird. I don't know what happened. The thing doesn't make any sense. It does not. But you say the bass player from Weezer is going to play at Coachella this weekend.

no kidding. What a weird roundabout situation? Yeah? Uh, if you think you know any well, first of all, if you heard anything different than we have, or if you think I've got an explanation, maybe your former cop and it makes sense to you, Sure doesn't make sense to us give us a text four one five two nine five KFTC. I just reached out to somebody who would be super knowledgeable at how LAPD did not waste that woman who fired a shot at her the wife of

the bass player for Weezer. Something weird going on there, so I might have an answer this hour. I'm thinking there's another thing I wanted to get on before I do this funny deal. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Donald Trump has weighing on daylight saving time. Today he urged congressional action to make it permanent, so we'll see if that actually finally happens. I think we want saving time. Yeah, we want saving time to be permanent, not standard time.

And like Joe and I always say, people talk about the downside of this and that, or kids at the bus stop or getting dark, let's try it once and if we decide we don't like it, we'll go back. Right, Let's just try it once. What's wrong with that? There's nothing wrong with trying it once. By the way, I think there are two states that do it. But my parents lived in Arizona for a couple of decades. They don't change their clocks, and everything was fine. There were

no dead bodies. People weren't crashing their cars. Nothing caught on fire or all of a sudden getting cancer because they get too much sun or not enough sun or whatever the hell happened. Yeah, nothing got fire. So let's try it once. I hope Trump, with his power, wins the day on this finally. Okay, so this I haven't heard it. I don't know exactly what it is. I sent this to Hansen because I came across it. This is the way it was described by Byron York of

The Washington Examiner. He said, this is absolutely astonishing, a totally bonkers interview in which BBZ BBC presenters this is British stuff, interrogate a politician because she hasn't watched a TV show. Okay, let's hear it. Have you watched a Lessons yet? No? No, I haven't.

last half hour of the week. Actually, if you miss a segment or now you can get the podcast, you should subscribe. It's easiest way, so it's fed into you every single day. Armstrong and Getty on demand.

I would never deal with the Desnons. You're fam. My favorite slang is Gerbert fam because it just bear Gerbert. My favorite Toronto slang where it has to be desk. Oh yeah, that's like that's that's that your way? Sam? What does that mean? Smith's that could dust when I get as So you're just go, are you?

in Louisiana. It's French. And I didn't know that. I've spent one day, one afternoon total in Toronto in my life. I didn't know there was an accent like that. I have no idea, but it's it's gone.

faster than it used to be. It's always been true that teenagers have slang, and it changed over time because you have to reflect the fact that we're the new young crowd. But it's never spent. It's never been at this speed before. So now words come and go within one calendar year, like we probably had the same slang all through entire high school. It doesn't even make it a whole year now. I remember when my junior class

discovered the word gnarly fantastic. Yeah, so our executive producer, Hansen, he asked me if it would be our if he left early. He wanted to go catch his daughter do some singing thing at school, and I said, yeah, of course. Cool. And as a parent myself, I was telling him and his kids are just a couple of years younger than mine. But I said, man, one thing. I mean, even though I know it, even though I was told it ahead of time, even though I'm living it now, the whole

they grow up fast thing. It's just astonishing and how various eras of childhood come and go and you don't. It's so taxing being a parent while you're in it that once it's gone, you realize it's never coming back again. And you know that's a bittersweet. I guess you're glad that they're growing and moving on, but you miss it like reading to my kids every night, you know, it was I loved it. It was fantastic, but it was a lot of work and doing it every night and

everything like that. But then one of them says, you know, you don't really need to read with me anymore because it's getting They just feel it. It's weird. And then then depending on how many kids you have, when the last kid says you don't need to read with me anymore, you realize I'm probably never gonna read to a kid in bed ever again. In my wife and here it's dominated my life for the last several years, and I'm never gonna do this again. It's it's quite shocking. And

I've got that going on tomorrow. We got a big parade in my town that happens every single year, and I've been taking my thirteen year old and my fifteen year old. We've all gone together every year since they were babies, and nice taking them carrying them. But then we'd go go in there little and get on, you know again, drink a milkshake or something. We'd sit on the curb and I'd get some coffee and way to

watch the parade. And then it's gone through years and neither one of them want to go with me now, And you know, obviously true, my oldest son's fifteen. I'm surprised you went last year when I was fifteen, Was I going to parades with my dad? Freak No, I mean they couldn't imagine it. Well, first of oz, I had a job. I had a job, and I was working.

I would have been at work that day. That's one of the problems is that that has changed in my lifetime, where you could go out and get a job starting at like twelve, and now they've passed all these laws. Some of you weirdos think it's good that kids can't work until they're sixteen. Anytime you argue for lowering that age, weirdos on the left talk about exploiting children or whatever. My kids have been wanting a job for years. They hate the fact that they can't have a job.

I bought my own brand new motorcycle. It was the coolest motorcycle in town and I bought it with my money from my job. It was fantastic. Yeah, my kids really, they can't wait. My son is fifteen in a quarter. Because at fifteen and a half you can do some things, and at sixteen you can get a job. But they can't wait to work. I can't believe there are laws in place that want you hear all about this shortage of labor at various places. There are kids out there

that want the jobs. Let them do it. You're not exploiting, you're not ex exploiting someone if they want to do it. It's crazy. Yeah, I'm not get off on that.

We're not. I'm here by myself and they're doing things with their friends. We'll all be damned. Is this the rest of my life? Will be soon enough? I guess, as Joe says, we're not needed anymore once you've raised your children. And I haven't raised my children yet. There are thirteen fifteen. I got a ways to go. But once you once your kids, when they leave the home, nature has no use for you anymore. You're you're you're taking up space on earth, and it is absolutely true.

No not. You've done your part. You pro created, you raised them to the point that they can procreate. You're supposed to die. I am thirty six years old.

was gone and never came back. And I worked that summer afterwards, but then I went off and I never came back. And so my son is fifteen and a half. I might have what two more summers, three more s and then he's gone forever. God, it's amazing how fast it happens. And he'll need dad for the rest of your life. Yeah, but need and want me to die off so they can have my stuff. That's what they would You stop it. God, you do have a pretty good TV. Well, yeah, like whenever I do anything dangerous

one of Moyce's can I have your watch? Which one? Because you wear too? I found out the other day. It's true. I do wear to watches each We will finish strong next day or strong.

Putin's one of the worst people on earth. Russia was the aggressor. They caused all this and they're still horrible anyway, Zelenski tweeted out today, I'm in the Dnipro region of Ukraine. I honored the memory of those killed by a Russian ballistic missile strike. It's amazing how much how little news this war is getting because the tariffs and all the other things are going on. A ballistic missile stripe, that's a big deal. One week ago, nineteen people were killed

by a Russian missile, including nine children. I'm in a shelter at the very school where those children are hiding, when they're hiding when the attack started. Nineteen people dead, nine kids. Ballistic missile attack on a school. Russia is they are the bad guy. Putin's a bad guy. So that's the end of that. So I sent to a colleague in the radio industry that story about the subway in New York. This is from the New York Times. Somebody died on the subway. Somebody else gets on the subway,

sees a dead body, robs them, then has sex with them. Yeah, isn't that crazy. So I sent that story to somebody. They sent this back to me. This is a real story. Also, this is from the New Scientist, a real science magazine. This is not for the queasy or the children. And obviously the anus may have evolved from a whole originally used to release sperm. According to the New Scientist magazine, the long standing question of how animals came to have

an anus. I didn't realize that was a long standing question in the scientific community among people who study the buthelet of various beasts. The long standing question of how animals came to have an anis may have been solved by studies in which genes are active during development various animals. So there you go, the anis, it says here. This is in the New Scientists. The anis is a wildly successful innovation. I would say, so, yeah, thank you Nature.

It works pretty well. Yeah, team anus most of the most of the time, it works pretty well. It really does. Huh huh well. And as this researcher from the University of Jena in Germany said, once a hole is there, you can use it for other things. A lot of people have noticed. We're on in San Francisco for ins. Okay, that's that story. I am laughing at that like a fourteen year old boy. Yeah, no kidding. I'll move on from that story. New study about people who eat plant

based meat. This would be your impossible burgers. Is that right? Is it impossible burger plant based or is that grown? I don't know if it's it's that's fake meat tastes good though we not good for you, but it tastes good. We tend to not like those people. It's interesting according to new study, and I would imagine that they're doing this study to try to figure out why it's not

catching on the way they were hoping. It's it's kind of like people that have a negative view of because I get this, people have a negative view of people who drive electric cars. You just have you just I assume that I have an electric vehicle, and I assume that if you drive an electric car, there's a whole bunch of things that goes with that package that I'm not gonna like. Yeah. Yeah, I make that assumption all

the time, even though I have one. Yeah. Most people don't admit it publicly, but they're secretly judging that coworker who brought a plant based burger to the company. Picnic. Oh, you brought it to the company picnic Yeah, I am judging you. A new study reveals that consumers of meat alternatives face complex social stigma. Even the supermarket shells fill with more plant based options than ever before. Yeah, I

think that's overstating it. Yeah, there's one tiny little part of my grocery store that has a few options, and nobody seems to be buying them. Have you ever tried the fake cheese?

negative emotions, including anger, social exclusion, and fear. I don't think I'm afraid of you now, but yeah, anger and social exclusion, that is. That is an interesting combo on one, and that's kind of cool. You're so dedicated to, like, you know, being healthy, and you probably work out a lot and everything like that, and stay away from me. I have all of those feelings at the same time. I think that's perfectly said. Yeah, I respect your decision, but I don't like you. But I don't I don't

want to hang around you. Well, and that electric car you're driving probably is cheaper to run, probably easier to park, and I don't like you. Right, all goes together, right, That is something I'm not surprised that they studied this and they're trying to nail this down because they're gonna have to overcome that. To get electric cars to ever take off, or to get a plant based meat to ever take off, you're gonna have to overcome that natural tendency.

We all have to think. Those people are a pain in the ass. Now.

was like thirty five. So I don't know if you feel that way, but I think it's true. Yeah, it's a big one. Yeah, all right, here's a final thought from Katie Green. Well, first of all, happy birthday, Michael. That's awesome.

four hour workday. What a week of news with the tariffs on and off and all that sort of stuff, And probably got another week of that coming up next week.
