Just dads, I'm just here to collect a paycheck. It look, that's right, oops, just dads. That's my favorite cereal.

Everybody's favorite favorite podcasts special. All right, but before we get to you, Chris, we're gonna get to know you a little bit better.

Okay, okay, but.

First, a couple of things we're talking about we're gonna do some videos. We got a right wing video block where we're gonna check in with Peter Tale see how he's doing with the whole CEO killing and people being happy about it, and he doesn't seem to really know how to how to deal uh. And we'll check them out. The senator from Tennessee who had a rough week last week.

Maybe we'll talk.

We'll look at some upcoming documentaries about Luigi Mangioni. Maybe we'll look at Paddington. Maybe we'll look at the War on Christmas. It's impossible to know at this point as I am talking to you. But first, Chris, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

And make it brief. Well, we did the just stuff I look at. I look at a lot of stuff. You do look a lot of stuff? Kind of I would say, I look at a lot of stuff. Man, check it out, check out, next question, next question, keep.

It fail to YouTube and put in fail compilation, and you'll have fun for so long, all right, and.

We're heading over and keep calm, so fun, keep calming.

There there's an ins a them. There's hundreds of them. There's some bottomless troke. There's dozens of in general. Check out you dude, there's like hundreds of videos on there.

The videos are on there and hundred at least hundreds.

I mean, you can watch it all day.

Some failed videos on YouTube. YouTube failed videos. That's what is lady dancing? Who falls down?

Okay, there's more than one. There's more than one that's happened a lot. I find that hard to believe. Okay, no, but you guys have my videos. Okay, yeah, so is this your search history? Yeah? Am I search history? Yeah?

My surch history is always videos because okay, I don't know, because I'm a shut in. Yeah, all right, so we have shut ins, no offense untaken.

Some of the rest of us on behalf of the shut in is none taken?

All right, So great time, So shut in renaissance. You said two videos, and watch them both. The second one I think I immediately zoomed in on what you had in mind.

The first one, I got to admit, I'm a little baffled by, uh.

What the actual footage of Bigfoot is that? Where are you baffled? I guess you're baffled.

By the back I guess something forward, something that exists exists confusing, So uh, suproducer Bay, are you able to bring up the first video LinkedIn act to under the heading crofton video Block exclamation Point.

It is titled Paul Freeman Bigfoot Footage.

I can give you a little background on it. Paul Freeman is this guy who is uh, he's like become known for this video. He shot it in nineteen ninety four and it's he'd been tracking bigfoot for a long time and he one day he was hanging around this logging camp where he found some footprints and then he

Anytime I see anything I go there, it goes Jesus.

So this is I'm hoping this land up on some soundboard for the daily guys. That's really what this is about. This is also extremely real and compelling bigfoot footage. And then the last like three weeks, I've gone fully I'm fully convinced that bigfoot is real. And I mean that did seriously. Yeah, but but but but I fluctuate. Then you might catch me in a couple other weeks and I'll be like, you know, maybe, but right now I'm convinced.

I think this was shot in downtown Chicago in twenty sixteen.

And you can tell it's nineteen ninety four by Paul Freeman because it is copyright.

They did.

Oh man, if you find Bigfoot, you get to copyright. I mean you slap a copyright. People will say, oh, we copyrighted it. That means it's fake. Wrong, That means just exactly blake.

It seems like a POV shot taken from inside a Bigfoot costume.

Like that was my first I was like, is this Bigfoot? Like when he says bigfoot footage, is it Bigfoot? We're really for there? He goes, Jesus, this has nothing to do really with big Foot. He's just it's the ground.

You can hear the brush popping, he says, I can hear the brush popping.

Huh. Here we go, all right, and there we go, camera up and then there goes Bigfoot. Wait, there was you missed it. Those of the two only good things. I got it.

There he goes the Jesus, can we take it back? There?

He goes, Jesus, because the rest of it is get up here. Not really a hill by the way, right, get better, better listen.

One of the requirements if you want to see bigfoot you have to have co OPD.

Yeah, I'm like so worried about this guy's cardiovascular health.

This guy has a wake apnea. What is going on?

So that's it. It's it's really good footage. You have a bigfoot and and really, I mean it's I just was hoping we could get that, you know.

There he goes, there a loop on a loop.

He also says, I hear that brush popping, which I if we don't play it anymore, that's fine. But that's what you guys should look for. You should go on YouTube and put in like you know, it's put in any animal that you're looking for, and then you bigfoot or you know, you can find you can find any animal, dog, yeah, crypto animals, you know, fake animals.

Yeah.

Paul Freeman, famous big foot hunter. Is that what I'm to understand?

And I mean, yeah, he's just a persistent. The guy who hangs around the woods, you know, and and and Bigfoot is uh is like it looks just like a tree. I mean, it looks just like a tree. It's as tall as a tree too, so it hides out pretty well, you know.

And and let's Chris, Yes, he didn't look that tall to me. That bigfoot didn't look that tall to me, armchair armchair quarterbacks. I just I would have shot him differently. I would have shot him from down down. Yeah.

Maybe no, But I believe that is the most convincing because that guy is like not good running the camera.

He's not.

He's not like he's didn't get set himself up well, he's not like he's wheezing and heaving and everything and he can't.

He's not like he's.

If he was faking that, he would have probably composed himself a little bit right.

But it is the exact same quality of image as the big Foot photograph that we're familiar with. Like it's just it's exactly that blurry.

It feels like, yeah, I mean it's a even I I just love looking at weird stuff. So I mean that to me is like I think that is a real Bigfoot and based on I mean, I've done a lot of research on this video. Like I don't just watch a video, no, no, I take a couple of days with a video, and I find out about Paul Freeman, and I get an idea of his character and stuff

The secret to being telegenic, they say, is having a head that's too big for your body. Like when you meet and covered, yes, and covered in hair, but you meet actors, they all have like massive heads. Like it's the first thing you notice about them is like, wow, your head is.

You're you're right. So Bigfoot's got is working against the.

Lot, working against the grain. He's got a lot going against.

He's got a humongous body in a small head which is terrible.

Lives in the wood.

Looks like ship does humongous body head?

Look how fat.

Quick shout out to Rocky Mountain Bigfoot? Uh if that's the correct sight. But there's one called Rocky Mountain big Foot where they have a video which I should have shown, because I mean, this one turns out to be a dud. It seems like, but you gotta. We got to end up with the soundboard where the guy says that because that's the part it's and that's that guy he's not if he was acting, he would have been My goodness, that thing is huge or whatever.

Yeah, and studies like.

And then he's like, I mean, do you think this guy, Paul Freeman doesn't wish he'd said something better than there?

He goes, and then Jesus genuinely scared when he says, Jesus.

Well, he's a legit guy who spent spent most of his life just doing the standard plaster cast of of tracks and then one day he got lucky, and then you know, and then he slaps a copyright on it, and then cue the haters, you know.

Yeah, que the haters and que the money rolling in.

Yeah.

Yeah, but I've gotten deep into Rocky mount I think it's Rocky Mountain.

I'll look it up while we're talking.

Uh, you know, but you guys are like, oh good, look it up.

Well, while you're looking that up, Chris, how big would a bigfoot have to be for it to be as impressive as we want him to be? Like, he would have to be over seven foot right, like could there be a basket? Like? He can't be in the sixes.

As long as he looks as long as he is the size of somebody who when you meet them, you're like, did you sorry, I do have to ask? Did you play basketball?

You know? Yeah? Yeah? Like yeah, they.

He bigfoot needs to at least look like he hooped a little bit.

Yeah, that's and like he was a drummer for the Allman Brothers band or something.

And not in that order.

And for me to be honest, for me, that line is six foot four, that's after six ft six foot four. I'm like, so, did you play like basketball? Or like after six four is like pretty for me? Six four scans tall to me. Maybe it's because I live in Los Angeles and like they're you know.

People are shorter in LA and I do feel like I'm not just saying that, Yeah, they are shorter.

They are seven feet you know, generally around seven. But then there's people who say they're twelve feet and that's when people get even Bigfoot people.

Who believe in Bigfoot.

It's everyone's picky about there, you know what I mean, Like they're like, okay, yeah, they're like okay, like twink, what's real?

But they're not twelve feet tall.

There's a bunch of people who said they saw twelve feet foot tall bigfoot, so they obviously.

Need a pair of glasses.

Like they get really like they're like people are really people are really particular about their things they don't believe in, and like even the things they do believe in, they're like, yeah, that's not a bigfoots are seven feet to eight feet tall, and these reports about twelve foot that's just someone who's drunk. Yeah, yeah, that's a personal just understand.

But generally big Foot communities like fool. But this is spitting.

But I will say that arguing about how big Bigfoot is beats being a fascist any day of the week. So I am glad that there are people who are still you know, concerned about how tall Bigfoot is instead of concerned with, like, you know, privatizing the post office.

Yeah, yeah, gotta do it. Deregulate, Chris.

Let's measure big foot have a big foot than big government. Can we say that? That's my Yeah, that's a great sticker.

And that's a way As a libertarian, Chris, that's something I understand about it.

I'm not a Republican. I'm a libertarian. Oh correct, I'm a libertarian. I wish there was.

I wish well, actually I was about to say, I wish that you were a libertarian so we could I don't.

Yeah, that doesn't make any sense at all. Yeah.

I was just say we could have a fight or something. But that's just me being caffeinated.

Yeah.

Yeah, let's take a quick break. We'll come back and hear you're underrated over it.

We'll be right back.

This episode is brought to you by eBay. Whatever you love, find it on eBay. eBay Things people love, Miles. It's Jack over here behind your giant stereo system.

Thank you.

It's called a high fi if you didn't know, that's what we call it. Okay, And I was looking for some vinyl records that I you know that I play on my Hi Fi system trow on like when does in twenty twenty four, I was.

Actually having fun just searching through EBA for all of the actual like things that I had, Like I had my first two CDs, uh when that was like a new technology. Were das effects okay and they want to arrested development?

Nice?

And I found yeah, they want effects and arrested development long album title that I'm forgetting.

And then I also like went back.

And was looking at like my tape collection and I could like put my old tape collection back together.

Yeah, did you have that Tevin Campbell tape for I'm Ready?

No? I did not.

That was like one of the first cassettes I had. I think you always remember like the first piece of media that you actually get as a kid because it feels like it's such an adult thing.

Yes, I had the Rim Automatic for the People tape, and the tape itself was like kind of see through yellow. Let's go through a real rim phase like at the end of my having tapes era.

Yeah, what's the frequency Kenneth?

Yeah, I don't know, wrong album, but yeah, close enough.

I look, that's that's how I love people. Know, I'm a huge Rim fan. I love Michael Stripes. The other thing that I was looking for was this Flying Lotus album, his very first album called nineteen eighty three. It's like one of my favorite albums, and you know, like Flying Lotus as a beat maker producer, you're a big fly loafan up there. You know, also from the San Fernando Valley, so i'd like to represent. And I found there are

Want to be around.

Yeah, but I found it and one person is selling it in Japan, so maybe I could message them and get maybe something on the.

Cause it's expensive.

Yeah, it's interesting, like some of the posters were really expensive, but then some of the baseball cards are like so wildly inexpensive that I just feel like it has to be somebody's parents throwing out their baseball card collection.

Yeah exactly, And I mean I think that's the great part about like, you know, it's all about how people value it. Some people are like, yeah, this is near and dear to me and it's at this price. And some people are like, I found this and it's yours if you want it. And that's what I love about eBay because look, we all got a thing and it's on eBay. Maybe it's fashion, car parts, trading cards, retro

And we're back and Chris, what is something that you think is underrated?

You've been on the show before.

I've been on the show, and these are the things that I play around with. I mess up, like I have a hard time of these.

Why am I saying? What am I saying?

Uh?

Why am I saying that? Why do I say that? That's my mom? That was my mom, That was my mom.

Talking through my hard time my body Jesus Christ, I feel good and strong, is what I meant to say.

Yeah, And I know exactly, I know exactly.

Our favorite I know exactly.

What's segment this is, and I'm going to do it now.

Your heartbeat, just a steady line. Steady hasn't gone up or down, Harry goes, Jesus, that's what the audience just said when I started talking.

There is a line from Royal Tannebombs where one of the guy goes there he goes about Owhen Wilson's character that has been in my head NonStop ever since I heard it, and nobody knows what I'm referring to. It's not a memorable line, but there's something about a sound drop with the phrase there he goes that I think is we we need a good there he goes Ohen Wilson's.

Character in or Altenant Bomb's Rules, the shot of him in his apartment with his paintings, so those like ogres and motorcycles or whatever.

I google it like I've been looking for those paintings for so long.

So good, Okay, so overrated.

I'm gonna say something that obviously has been talked about by everybody in the whole world.

But I'm gonna say overrated thronesnes.

Because I'm just gonna say the joke that that I that I already said on my podcast, you know it's Fox News in the Sky and.

We'll be We'll be right back. You're listening to radio. It's insane. Hey, thanks for getting us out of that one. I have more.

I'm not gonna it's not like a mic drop.

I'm not gonna be like, oh yeah, like that was my big fire Gun News in the Sky. No.

I just mean it's like, no, I like it. I think it's clear. I love that the idea that there's a tipping point, even for the people who are supposed to be like whip you're supposed to whip up hysteria, but you're not. You're supposed to whip up hysteria, so like the people in the gated communities can be safe because all the poor people are turned against each other.

But that, of course is inevitable.

You can only stoke fear to the point where no one can control it anymore. I just think that's what's interesting is whoever's in Rippling Hills gated community like has gone crazy. The governor went out and filmed the Big Dipper or something.

Was like, they're everywhere. I mean, this is a great this is a great moment. This is a great moment. Yeah, there he goes.

That's walking around at night and every light that, every street light, every star that they say Jesus, Jesus.

And that is what goes. That's what that's what's happening.

I think it's the neighbor, the neighbors seeing aver are going outside and filming the skies.

He's the ones there there he goes, Jesus, Jesus. So, so it's catching on. It's catching on. It is it is. This is our hysteria. This is this is the hysteria you're creating because Jesus. So.

I just think it's interesting. I think it's interesting that the rich white people that are supposed to be whipping up this fear, they're the ones who did it. They're the ones who basically, you know, consume the media, consume the you know, they buy the yeties that they advertise on Sean Hannity's show or whatever. They buy yetti you know pants, you know, and they.

Support less yetties that you buy on Sean Hannity and more real Yetti's.

So these rich people, they don't have to be white, just rich people in general. Rich people who are in there, you know, Licorice Heights or whatever the hell the name of their their their gated community.

Is rich people for the purpose of this are in the board game candy Land.

But yeah, they're in like.

Yeah, yeah, they live in Peanut Brittle Junction. They're they're they're they're damn gated community and they have like then they buy Yettie pants and Yetti shirts and buy their kids Yetti car seats and whatever, and is keep their babies cold.

And then they uh and then they want I would freezing kid.

Whatever temporary you put that kid in there. They stay that for the rest of their lives. So yeah, so they they buy all this stuff. They fund the fear Machine because they buy the stuff that they advertise on there, and then it's finally bitten them in the ass. They think everything's a drone, and I just think, what, of course,

I don't know what like the next it's going to be.

Yeah, they they were complaining that you're not allowed to shoot them. You're not allowed to shoot at the drones, a thing that they don't know what it is.

They don't they don't know that. It's I can't just fire my gun into the sky. Now you're telling me I can't fire my gun into the sky.

It's something I don't And they've said that a bunch of these things are passenger liners that they just don't They're just these people just think they're close to them, but they're far away. And they've never looked in the sky before, because of course they haven't. They've been too busy buying yetti products and watching you know, I don't know what shows they watch. White Lotus probably that's not them. But I don't even know what shows are a.

Little uncomfortable for them. They never did. They just make a show that is just a vacation. That's just one of the only shows I know about.

So the four star inside watching walk Empire Shore, you got a yetti car, see keeping their baby the same temperature. They're walk Empire, watching dead Wood. So anyway, I just think they've never looked at the sky.

Before, is the main takeaway, right, Yeah? Yeah, and now they're all looking at it. There's like there's stuff everywhere. Look at all this shit.

And they're gonna shoot a passenger liner down. That's why the FAA is saying don't shoot, right because you're shooting.

And then on top of that, I forget the other thing I was gonna say, but but you can't. You can't.

Yeah, they're gonna shoot it. They're gonna shoot an airplane down. And that's the end point of Fox News is somehow they've managed to make rich people who are safe as can be go so crazy they're about to shoot passenger planes. What a beautiful pageant the United States is in twenty twenty.

Four, really strange times.

The Internet was a great idea, turns out, Yeah, you know, I don't think anyone Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs is a genius. That guy. He brought us all together.

He was so mean to his employees and like, that's how he got things done.

That's cool, he's done. That's how you do it. What is something that you think is did you say so. Drones are overrated. Drones are overrated because because I mean overrated in the sense that they're over hyped and and we need a little context on these things. Over us. Yeah, I'm over it. I'm over it. I'm over it. I'm over thank you. And that's why we have them here, folks. That's right, keep it tight, keep it quick, and video off. Don't be right back. And that's a threat. Chris to

God, that's such a good You're always trying to tell me I'm in the hospital.

I escaped from the hospital six hours ago. That gowns on the side of the highway.

Yeah what, Chris, What is something you think is underrated?

Oh Jesus, I'm gonna die. Oh god, underrated. We'll do quickly. It's just my podcast, Good Morning.

Got me like every Monday, Wednesday Friday. You see what I did every Monday Wednesday Friday. It's seven minutes long, and it's like I read a poem, I read some other poem, and then I play a little bit of a song like song of the day and sometimes I read aloud from a book. But it's like seven eight minutes long, and it's Monday, Wednesday, Fridays. It's called good Morning Got Me Like. It's on the same feet as

It doesn't like freak me. It takes. I can put one up in like an hour. You know, it doesn't freak me out. Yeah, it doesn't, like.

I understand, like justin the editor of Daily Zeitgeist or you know when when he says keep it tight, you know, it starts to get desperate when you're editing multiple I mean you'll be like keep it.

Tight, you know what I mean, because it's like it takes wedding bullets.

Justsa is never desperate, but he is always in the back of my mind giving me the wrap it up. Yeah, every time I'm trying. I don't blame him. He's like, we need to make these podcasts five minutes long.

Mid one of Chris's podcasts is really really fun. That one was great. Yeah, really that's Cold Brew Conversations.

So go find Blake Me and Blake Wexler's conversation.

It was so fun. We talked about I loved it about how we met.

Blake went to a college where they had one hundred and fifty seat theaters in the basement. I mean, for goodness sake, I did.

What college was that? Emerson College? One hundred and fifty seat theaters in the bass black box theaters. Yeah, that's right in the basement of the dorm. That the way so many comedy people are from Emerson. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And we talked about that, that that Blake went to Emerson on purpose because a lot of comedians went there, and Blake started doing stand.

Up when he was like fifteen years old. It makes sense.

And now he's now, he's seventeen years old, and he's already on the dailyeitgeist.

That's why his skills.

All right, We got through that at a relatively snappy thirty minutes. Yeah, bang punch, there, there you go. Let's do a couple of right wing videos. I just wanted to check mainly this Peter Teale video because one of my main curiosities after the CEO assassination was just like, how are other CEOs.

You got a little little French press. Oh yeah, that's an Americans. You know what.

I'm not going to talk about the cole Brew thing, but any go ahead, Okay, I've had some issues with Colebrew regarding sleep.

Yeah, that is fair. Coldbrew is abbressively like sort of serious issues, like sort of serious.

So I'm drinking giant amounts of regular coffee instead today today.

Don't worry. Don't get mad at me to get mad. I'm furious, all right.

So my main question how like we've seen how the internet is responding to the assassination of the CEO of United Health Insurance and.

Hello the Internet. By the way, we should mention that Hello the Internet.

Oh and and hello, and I do like to say hi to you up top, Hello to you. But yeah, I've been really curious, like how are the CEOs taking this? Like are they you know, are they scared? Are they making sense of it? Are they like well, this is only a matter of time, time to move to New Zealand, you know, just how they're gonna have to have a response to this eventually. And so Peters Morgan had Peter Tiel on his show and was like, what do you

Peter?

And I just want to play his response for for those who aren't watching the video. He is like kind of bathed in flap sweat for during the course of this answer, and I just want to I just want to play it real quick for you, because he has some interesting things to say. He's kind of eloquent. And to those who think this shooter is a hero because he did it, because he said, this healthcare executive is presiding over a healthcare.

System which kills it steps to me as an Americans, but denying them cover, what would you say to them? Okay, now that's not glitching out. He's just got his mouth open and now he's going to answer any second. He's just thinking it's open. I don't know what what to say.

I I think I still think you have you should try to make an art argument. And I think this is this is you know, there may be things wrong with our healthcare system, but you have you have to maybe an argument and you have to try to find a way to convince people, and uh and and and and change it by by that and this is you know, this.

Is not going to work. I don't know.

It's it's it's it's yeah, you know, I mean there all sorts of things when one could say about it, But.

I don't. I can't a single one. Yeah, why not? Why not try one? Why not try one?

Motive?

I don't. I don't.

I don't want to go into all the particulars here, but I don't think.

How about one heroic about him? Then, Peter, there is a putty cat right.

That he did?

Think God?

Just a quote almost gods. He freezes from nine seconds and just like close his mouth opens, his mouth closes, his mouth opens.

It and then says, I, I.

Uh And you know, like a a cartoon character of someone who has been caught off guard and like doesn't know what to say, is really what we're getting?

He looks like a fucking android murderer. He is crazy. Lookie.

He looks completely sick, like he is covered in a sheen of sweat. He cannot speak. Obviously, if someone acts like that, you shift the questioning from what do you think of Luigi Mangioni? To what the fuck is the matter with you?

Right now? I am not kidding.

All this guy did was invent a payment system that lets people buy stuff on eBay and instead of this guy has got something severely wrong with him. He's having like a medical emergency, and they're asking him questions and he's not answering them, and they're not saying like, are you okay?

They just let him have the.

Floor because he invented PayPal. I mean, it makes me so angry, by the way. I've watched this before, and it makes me so mad because.

You notice a new vein each time in his head. The more that you watch it, you know the man he.

This is by the way, he does not just do this is not an isolated incidents.

He incident. He h on MyoD cast. Colberg got me like, we talked about.

Sorry, we talked to him, we talked about Yes, we had him on and he did the same fucking thing.

This is actually a canned answer.

I know.

It seems like he's been caught off guard. This is his can to answer. Have you seen it? Have you seen him in other ones do this? No? No, I haven't.

I haven't seen him do quite this. Okay, Cambridge money that he has been practicing this, but oh my god, I'm not kidding. It's the best he can do. It's what he does that is not weird for him. After that interview, gave his homie as this bump and said.

That's just what I do. Swish.

So Cambridge, uh, you know, Cambridge, England. They had him at some some college I guess is that Cambridge is at the name of Cambridge University and they had him there to talk.

He agreed to it.

That's the thing is he agreed. That's the other thing is he agrees to his interviews and then he does that, which means that's like he thinks that's fine because I've seen him do it more than once in public. So he did it at this Cambridge thing. They asked him questions about Israel and he did that exact same thing.

Have a medical issue? Right?

Yeah, we are seeing because this is the most powerful. Like that, this is an unprecedented time other than the monarchies, where like you know, it was long slow burn history of inbreeding and isolation genetic and like physic physical isolation

Shows, even though they have like just defective personalities and are really strange people.

And I feel, yeah, I feel like it's not said anymore because people are like, yeah, but that's Peter Teal.

We know his name, so like we just let it go, you know, I gotta say, Peter, just send an email and we'll read totally send them. It's just forty eight million.

It's it's, it's it's it's god damn, it doesn't the emails too.

We can shorten this. Well, there's lots of things.

There's a lot of sorts of things one could say about it.

Yes, well, without getting into particulars, you haven't named one fucking thing.

You're not in the weeds. Well that's those hard hitting. He didn't mention that there may.

Be there may be something's wrong with the medical system. But you know, yeah, I still think you should try to make an argument, not me. You should try to make an argument. I will be over here doing not that.

Good luck seeing a puddy yet, good luck with your argument.

Good luck with your argument though, because I own the entire Congress. Yeah, exactly, here's the good part.

There he goes, there, he goes. So Jesus so so Jack. When you said that monarchy thing that I just I had.

I wanted to talk so bad, but I'm like, you know, I've been talking about therapists and they say I have to let other people talk.

So uh, that's not what you pay them for. They want to talk. That's so funny, the therapist talk. Have you ever known you've got to work on letting me talk? I haven't gotten a word in edgewise anyway.

I just that's all I thought was that that Peter Tiel was a sentient Habsburg jaw.

Like that.

It was like interviewing you've seen that picture of that Habsburg that Habsburg couldn't like any eves jaw was so messed up from in breeding that he couldn't you know, he couldn't do anything.

Basically same the institutional equivalent of that, you know, Like it's just we find these people and just through sheer, like the way that the system is built, where like one advantage breeds multiple more advantages. Yeah, it's pretty similar the strangest people.

Yeah, because you.

Weren't allowed to mention Habsburg's jaw. You weren't allowed to say, my goodness, sir, your jaw is quite big, Yeah, because then you get executed. It's the same thing you can't say to Peter Teal, Like why do you agree to interviews if you aren't gonna say anything and you're gonna be having a medical.

Emergency and then you get executed if you say that. So okay, could we bring up a Hapsburg jaw an image of the Hapsburg.

Jaw or JP Morgan's knows either one, whatever, Yeah, whatever you find first.

Yeah, you could shake John Jacob Aster's liver.

Yeah, it's basically liver.

Mac tonight, the uh McDonald's moon character is based on the Hapsburg jaw. But I guess we could just leave it at that. Remember mac tonight, the moon.

Based on Max. This thing's a perfect This thing's crazy. Yeah, ma, you never you never knew mac tonight. I didn't know him by name. Oh yeah, I forget. We just established you're nineteen years old, nineteen seventeen. Yeah right, Look at that jaw there. It is the one on the right.

You see that one with the blonde hair like halfway Yeah, that guy, that's the guy. That's Peter Teal.

That's the equivalent. Yeah, exactly, like situally, that's Peter Teel.

And he's way better looking than Peter Teal.

Yeah yeah, yeah, let's.

Take a quick breaks. Yeah, take a break. So I don't say what break break? Okay, hey Blake, I was just gonna say, he's got a face that you that you want to sit on because it looks like a chair. All right, we'll be right back. Thank you so much, Thank you so much, so much. We'll be right back. It does look like a chair, definitely like an athletic protector.

Yeah, a cup coup, I call it an athletic protector. Son, go get your athletic protector on.

We're going to Denny's. Put on your athletic protector.

And we're back and just checking in because we have like kind of averted our eyes from the right a little bit since the election, just because we're like, oh, they're probably having a cool party over there, and just I don't I don't want to see it, and we're not gonna There was the Trump advisor who passed out on stage, seemed to be having a serious medical issue. I don't think we want to like kind of point and laugh at that one. But I'm hearing it is

I'm in Tennessee right now, Tennessee's forty ninth, forty eighth, forty seventh, and infant mortality, mother mortality reading comprehension.

Yeah, every it's these these these people in.

In uh in in office in Tennessee have done nothing but just steal money and and and and defund public programs to and it, you know, to the point where Tennessee.

I mean, is just a mess and this guy yeah, yeah, so this is this is just him, you know on I don't I don't know where they kind of found him, but he did get pulled over under suspicion of a dui. And I do really respect the police for going through with the field sobriety test. Once you see this guy that, they're still like, well, better see if this guy's drunk or.

Not sure out. They're probably his friend. They're like rooting for him. Yeah, they're like, come on, man, just just to his he stopped pissing. Yeah, all right, let's let's.

Check out the video and then we'll describe it to people who aren't watching.

Uh.

So he has been He stands there with his hands behind his back leg. This is gonna be easy as hell. Uh and begins to piss his pants. And they are khakis, so it's not subtle.

Youn't want to piss those. He's a job on the line walking though he's really cleaning there.

He's doing a great I think we froze. I think that's why he appears to be doing a good job.

He also pointed at the line as if it moved as he was trying to walk across the line. He points at it and moved the line.

And people listening and not watching. He is pissing this whole time he's walking, and it's getting he's so big.

It starts just in the place where your pants would be normally a normal pair of pants would be pissed, and then it starts his entire left leg.

Yeah, gravity takes over. It is great, actually spreading up to his He's wearing a turtleneck and it's threading up his neck. He blake. It's a really good point there.

There is a point at the end where he turns around and we don't get to hear what exactly he's saying, but he does point to the line as though it has been moved on him.

Or something like, what the fuck was that it's strawn on the ground.

That line's wobbly as hell, Doug, Jesus fucking lines.

Anyways, that line is, that line is woke. We don't need to wallow in the humiliation of this loser.

But at the same time, it's it's just this is this is who we're dealing with.

Well, this is what Nazis did to Nazis partied. That's all this is is losers partying.

This is people, the world's most charmless people, creating a space where they can just get drunk all the time. That's what fascism really is. Yeah, and this guy is a perfect example. He's supposed to be a lawmaker. I mean, he's he's like seventy years old, and he's like a seventeen year old. He's dressed like a seventeen year old. Is he's partying instead of I mean, he's pissing all over the place.

And it's just like, it's just.

The banality of evil, the banality of evil. But evil is pissing your pants, you.

Know, Yeah, pissing your pants as you're doing the Duy test.

Yeah, and being like everybody pisses their pants, American, I'm pissing your pants.

Your line is not regulation. That is not a regulation line that you're making me walk, Okay.

It's I truly believe there's nothing wrong with enjoying the shit out of this. I really believe that. You gotta honestly, if you're like, oh, I don't want to laugh at someone else's expense. We need to take the higher ground. We don't. This is something you need to enjoy because it's so great. Yes, it's so This is one of the few great things.

And it would be if he was some guy who was not in power, then this would be sad. But instead, instead it's not sad because this guy you're not supposed to. You're supposed to be self aware enough to know that if you are an alcoholic, you shouldn't run for office, and if you're an alcoholic, you shouldn't.

It doesn't, you know, even if you're a dry car you just shouldn't. Yeah, there's just a certain amount.

None of the qualities of a leader include being drunk and pissing your pants when you're seventy wearing kids clothes. Jamie's dressed like he's supposed to be delivering the paper something.

He's wearing a propeller as well, we should point that out. He doesn't. He's wearing a.

Cat or a you know, fleece jacket with a hoodie. He probably came back to he just was at an axe throwing bar.

Yeah, all right.

Finally, this morning I was introduced to Bertie Higgins. I had heard the song, but what's it?

What is it? Kei Largo look he had it all.

Yeah, we had it all, just like bogee and we call that one. Yeah, I didn't know who sang that. It's like kind of rock vibes Birdie Higgins b E R t I E. Higgins and Chris you fat okay on this clip of him like as that song is being recorded, like not to be released.

Well, I mean that's what they say in the clip, but he's not there. He's lips thinking that this is a this is a PM magazine. If you're like my age, which is you know, forty two, uh, then you fifty five. If you're fifty five, you remember PM magazine. It was like you know when there were four channels, they had a nightly. It was like an entertainment news magazine, like and they.

Just come out in the evening. Yeah. And they did features on the Yes, and they did PM. Yes, and they did features. Yes, and they did and they did features.

They did features on whatever the top top entertainer entertainers were.

And this was a big smash hit.

This was like a number one hit or a number So they went and sent a camera crew to Chattanooga.

That's where we recorded this, right And anyway.

PM Magazine they used to call shows like sixty minutes magazine, right, news magazines, right, Yes, so that's that's what we were like, that's sixty minutes.

That's what we referred to them too. Yeah.

I used to work for one Prima Live with Diane Sawyer.

Really, how is yeah? How is she? Yes?

She was always very nice and drank an incredible number of diet Cokes every day.

It was.

It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

I'm not mad at her.

Well, I was not a little known fact when Richard Nixon got into the helicopter after giving the two piece fingers after resigning the person one of the people in the helicopter, I think there were like two people, his wife and Diane swear who was really his speech writer to do that, that's crazy anyways.

Okay, so Bertie Higgins.

Bertie Higgins had a hit, big hit soft rock hit called uh Largo and it's he was looking at you kid anyway. But it turns out behind the scenes, this guy was a wreck. And I actually know his whole biography because this is another thing. You know, I'll watch a video like this and then I'll do some heavy you know, heavy lifting.

Yeah, I intentionally did not.

I had the urge to be like, all right, what like, how long did this guy make it?

He recovered, he recovered. It turns out all of it got sober. Yeah, all of his antics. It turns out he had a horrible drinking problem, which explains all this stuff that I had, Chris, And this is such a long Yeah, this is such a long interview and it gets way too in depth. That's that's what's really funny about this is it gets way too in depth. And it also shows you the inside of the recording studio in nineteen eighty.

One in Chattanooga that Harristyles.

Yeah, it's supposed to be a puff piece and he is just letting some of the most pitched yuck that.

I mean, this song is I like this song.

It's a cheesy song, like yeah, and he should have just been like yeah, rocks and we had a great time recording it, but instead they just let the camera roll forever and then they put it all in the air.

I mean, this is stuff that would definitely be cut out. Yeah, now let's go forty tape brow Pyramid studios, lookout, mountain watching rolling being recorded for what has become one of the hottest records of the year the.

Songay, can we skip forward to forty seconds?

Everyone who works in the studio is a sheep dog. It's the record for songwriter Bertie Higgins, and what Bertie thinks about you guys got to look at this.

This is like an all timer for me, the whole thing. Just go watch this with your family for Christmas instead of that electric yule lost.

I mean the voice of an angela here we go.

I had gone through an emotional fall. A lady who I loved very much had left me after living with her for almost five years in Florida. And we were both into old films at that time in Florida, and we'd curl up on Friday and Saturday night the only time he had the twenty four hour TV down there and watch him and Bogat McCall was her favorite.

Okay, that's not the best part, but it's the beginning. Okay. He's talking about a relationship and they play a little more of the song. All right, and he's back. Are we gonna go?

Should we skip forward to four thirty five or where?

Oh no, no, he's about to say something real good, right, Okay, Okay, I gotta goin. Did you here it comes it all?

Yeah, one time, very much.

Oh wait, we missed it, he said, did you have it all? Yes?

I've been around on the earth a while and I never thought I could feel that. And the fact that I felt that just absolutely. I mean, I was married before that, I had a couple of children, and I wasn't very very much pain about that.

That's it.

I was married before they had a couple of children.

I never married before I had a couple of children. I never felt that. Unbelievable.

All right, Okay, the next part is just the four minute part is when he says, uh, it's just another way to in depth thing.

It's him and the girl who wrote the song about sitting came and she we don't have to. Yeah, if we if we're trying to, don't have to.

But it's worth watching this whole video because it's the biggest overshare in history. They're trying to promote a song and end up that the studio guys basically say at some point in that video like, we didn't even need the song. We have a promotion machine here that can make any song a hit. It doesn't even matter if it's good and like Bernie Higgins is like in the other part of the room being like hi, you know, yeah, it's it's just such a great fucking.

Heck, it's like a Pruder film. It's a Zapruder film except about rock.

Yes. Yeah, yeah. There's two kids, one named Julian, which is a human name, and the their name Diesel Boy. And I might go, either, is that really there? And I'm like, wait, did he name his son Diesel Boy? And it's actually Diesel Boy is actually a Diesel man. He's fifty two and a DJ of course, so that was the other way of that. It could so right. Either in the blackout his name in the in the he might have or he was named Diesel Boy and a Diesel Maybe it's just Diesel Diesel Was that his

Oh no, there's Diesel Boy, the Diesel Boy. He looks like a pretty regular DJ.

Yeah at the time, a completely abnormal human but a regular DJ. Yeah.

At the time him of that interview, this young man was nine years old. Then he was like, yeah, I never felt anything like the love I felt.

For this lady. Yeah, this lady. Yeah. My old my wife and my kids never did it for me, but this lady did.

Yeah, the lord, this lady whose name escapes me. She comes in at the end and they're like, why did you leave him? She's like, why do I leave them? Many many reasons?

Oh yeah, I think the four minute mark he talks about being in jail, he does. He says, he says, I was in jail, jail a couple of year, for two years or something.

He already said, for not that long. I know guys like this, So I was not shocked I was in jail for not that long, because he realized, what the hell is happening? What the hell's weekends in jail?

Yeah, you know, at some point you realize when you're on a podcast and you're oversharing, that's what's happening.

To him, he's like, you know, it's why he's like, when I was in jail for not that long, what the hell is going on? What are we doing? The bandslaughter was involuntary. It wasn't that long, so.

Yeah, Berdie Higgins. And then there's a great video for the song Key Largo. The video is great too, because he's supposed to be in a yacht and it's a small fishing boat, so he's like supposed to be He's supposed to be in a yacht, but I don't.

Know why they couldn't. They couldn't get it.

And the boat he's in the boat he's in with the woman. You know, it's him and a girl, like out on a date on a boat, and it's supposed to be like, oh, what I wish I had his life, you know, in Key Largo, and it's this fishing boat that's getting jostled a lot by the camera, boat's wake taking on water, and then he's smoking the whole time.

Yeah, and smoking in a little boat.

I mean, if you're smoking in a huge yacht, I could see how that could be a power move, but smoking in a little boat makes you look like what he was.

And I'm still alcoholic. Yeah, yeah, you're probably smuggling living cargo. It's a great video. It's a great video.

So the video for Qlago if you don't feel like spending ten ten minutes in finding out the real misery behind that song. And you want to just enjoy a really fucked up video, try the video for Key Largo.

It's great. Oh my god.

Well, Chris Crofton, always such a pleasure having you. I feel like I find new corners of the Internet of history that I never would have otherwise.

Well, I'm so glad I'm here to sir, I'm here to help people with history.

It's X and all the.

Shit bs Kentucky it's Bskentucky dot am Yeah.

All the new ones. I'm on, all the threads, fuck thruds. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying?

Oh?

Yes, Uh, this is something I always forget to do this part, so I don't really know.

I'm going to say that the work of media I enjoyed was live that I saw in person recently, which is the Wooster Group of theater group from New York City that's been going since the seventies. Willem Dafoe was part of it, Spawdney Gray was part of it. They came to Nashville and I saw their show, Symphony of Rats. And seeing live theater that's just super weird, is a really nice break from endless quote unquote reality.

And so the Worster Group.

If the Wester Group comes to town, if you're in LA, they probably come. And I bet they come to Philly too, because that's just down the road. From New York, where they're based. Uh, but also that they only have. The reason they've survived so long is that that the director of the company, Elizabeth A. Kompt, bought the building that they perform in, and she said, like, if I hadn't bought this building in Soho, we would never be able to do any of this.

Yeah, those groups are like so interesting, like the little theater groups that started and like three of them are the most famous actors of all time. They're amazing, you know, Yeah, a little avant garde theater troops.

Yeah, theater was fun for me a lot, a lot. I did, Blake. Did you do theater at at Emerson? I actually didn't, I just did. They just did as cool as hell. That's cool as hell.

Yeah.

I just did some theater in New York in the nineties and man, just that teamwork aspect is just really fun. And so I think theatre is really good for people to watch and be part of.

Amazing Blake. Where can people find you as their work? Amedia you've been enjoying.

People can find me at like Lexter and all social media. And also Chris, you're so funny, you bug. Listen to all of Chris's podcasts. I forget that I have any duty to entertain whatsoever when I'm on here, So I just like listen to you guys that I started. I'm like, I should probably talk over them at some point, but I am also I have some live dates coming up January fourth, I'm in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. March fifteenth, I'm headlining the Ice House in Pasadena. In Los Angeles March fifteenth,

I like you can find that at Corky Owner or if you search hashtag Corky, hashtag Corky lover, hashtag bet.

I'm sure it'll come up. That's the point. You'll be glad you did. Yeah, Jack, do you have anything you want?

Yeah? Yeah, talk about I liked to tweet from the Oscar Race at the Oscar Race, what's a movie that's basically a masterpiece that no one talks about?

Question Mark that that's my piece of media. I like tweets like that, that's funny.

What's a great what's a great last shot of a movie? They twitter takes that I twitter takes.

I fucking love that shit. That's what they do on threads too. They're like, what's the kind of music that you guys like?

And like they're just to provoke, just to provoke a thread, you know, and it's like a bunch of engagement.

Yeah, they're like the Dave Matthews band, you know what I mean, like like Scott Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah, thank goodness.

Type of music that you think is underrated. And then everybody's like, what that's not underrated? Jesus, what road signs really make you mad? Go? Uh yeah, don't tell me what to do. That's the response to all of fucking tell me what to do. I don't yield, I don't stop.

Okay, I get it, mind, I don't get it. That's what they do on threads.

Threads is a lot of that, Like best bass player for my money what's his name from dire Straits. But I might be wrong, but I might be wrong, go ahead, and it's like I think it makes me miss studios, Internet makes me miss X for people are just like, I'll chop your head off.

You know that's the answer. I like dire Straits. I'll chop your fucking head off. You live hard.

I also liked a blue Sky at JP Brammer tweeted when someone is rude to me, it always reminds me of the book nineteen eighty four.
