Oh, roberguny podcast. This is Ron Burgundy and you are listening to the Ron Burgundy Podcast. Today's topic is a lightning rod for so many people, and I have wanted to have a discussion on it for years, so I'm very excited. Today we will have an enlightening and spirited debate on the subject of guys in the military. But before we dive in, I want to alert our audience to a technical situation we are dealing with today. For the past few weeks or so, the podcast studio has
been under construction. In fact, it has been turned into a crime scene. While repairing, some insulation workers discovered a human skull inside one of the walls. And as I know from experience, any time you discover human remains, you must call the authorities, no exceptions. No matter how tempted you may be to collect human bones, whether they be found in an antique trunk or storage unit, tour out on a hike, you have to call the police or
at least the rangers station. Do not, under any circumstances hold on to a skull that you've found because you think you would make a cool paper weight in your study. I mean, think about it, that was someone's head for Cripe's sake. Anyway, since the studio has been closed, we have been recording the podcast from my living room, which has been fine outside the fact that the crew eats every thing in my fridge and never, I repeat never
flushes the damn toilet. It's disgusting. Well, today we are having to record this show for my garage because my living room flooded last night. Ah yes, I forgot to turn off the bathtub again. So I just want to alert you the listener that we have a location change. However, this will not affect the quality of the broadcast in any way. Thank you for indulging me with that extensive explanation, But I I feel I owe it to you to display the utmost integrity about every facet of the broadcast run.
Why are you whispering? Well, I'm not whispering. I'm using what's referred to in the theater as a stage whisper. It is a more projected whisper. Whatever. Why are you doing it? We're why are you stage whispering? I'm just trying to protect my my vocal cords since they are they're currently inflamed. Yes, yes, I haven't flamed vocal cords. You haven't flamed vocal cords. Yes, I haven't flamed vocal cords.
They are they are fully inflamed. I had had too much verde sauce on my carnitas burrito last night and it burned my my vocal cords, and it gave me laryen genitus. Okay, I don't believe you wrong. We spoke this morning and your voice was fine. No, trust me, it's bad laryn genitus. I think your voice is fine. M m hm. Oh okay, fine, you got me, You got me. No, I don't. I don't have laryon jenitis. Um. Okay. Well, the reason why I was whispering is because my garage
where we are broadcasting from right now is haunted. My garage is haunted, and I was whispering because I'm afraid of waking ghosts. There, I said it, what a relief is really haunted? Absolutely haunted. I have I have seen things that will make your head spin. And why we had to do today's show at midnight is beyond me. Well, we moved the show till later because you said you couldn't sleep last night and didn't get up until three pm.
I didn't sleep because I was worried, sick about the fact that we were going to record the show in my haunted garage. Why didn't you just say you didn't want to record in the garage because no one would believe me if I told them that the garage was haunted. Okay, well you could have just left that out and said the garage was too messy or something. Hold on, hold on one second garroline. Right, of course, on my street,
my trash removal is midnight. I really can't think of a worse place or time to We've lobbied the city and I don't know how many petitions we've put in front of their fat faces. They won't listen to the taxpayer. So many trash cans on it's just cruel to the garbage. And of course our street we still have old metal trash cans. We don't have the plastic one, so they make That's why it's so. It's making so much noise. It's so much and the diesel smell it comes right
through that door. I'm just gonna breathe. Yeah, okay, Nick, are we good now? Are you still hearing the trash? Uh? No, I think we're anything and we would have recorded somewhere else. I wasn't thinking. Let's just do the show and I'm sure it'll be fine. Okay, fine, Yeah, as long as the ice jackal doesn't show, we'll be fine. Never mind, okay, all right. When we think of the military, there is one issue that I feel is a non issue. You guessed it. I'm talking guys in the military. Why it
comes up year after year is exhausted. Pay no attention, Caroline, Let's just keep doing the show. You didn't hear that I'm going to spank your fanny and make your girlfriend watch. You will do no such thing. You leave us alone. Did you not hear that I'm not hearing anything? Is Are you hearing a ghost? Yes? And frankly, it's chilling. I'm glad you can't hear what the spirit is saying. Oh my god. All we can do is continue um as I was saying. The military is one of are
more evolved institution. And when it comes to race and gender accord, my baby, the military is working for the first baby with putting women in combat rules. My baby. No, I'm not my baby. I am not what's going on? Yes you are, you're my baby. I am not your baby. Stop. It is the ghost saying that you're its baby. Yes, and it's chilling. I'm going to put a diaper on you and you're in a suck on my nipple. No, I won't long. I won't do it, especially not all
night long. I'm going to push you around in a stroller and everyone's going to compliment you on how big and plump you are. No, I won't cooperate. I won't ride in a stroller. Okay. Is the ghost going to push you around a stroller? Now? Yes, but I won't do it. You're my baby boy. I'm going to take you on a slide, and you're going to go we never. I won't enjoy the slide. Run. If we just ignore it, maybe it'll just go away. Caroline, you have no idea.
He's telling me that he's going to push me around in a stroller and then I guess take me to a park because he's going to he's going to take me on a slide. Well, these all sound like really nice things to do, and I'm gonna go we Maybe that's a fun activity. But I'm not a baby. Well, of course not. But I mean, I don't know. Chill is it wants to put me on a slide and let me Is that the worst thing that could happen. It's not like he's trying to kill you or anything.
Maybe he just wants to have a fun day at the park. That keeps asking me if I'm his baby over and over again. It's hard. I mean, I've never dealt with a situation like this before. And you can't hear him honestly, No, I need the creepiest high pitch voice. Why did we do this at midnight? Well? I wish you had woken up earlier than three pm, I know, because I couldn't. I didn't get enough sleep. I slept
until three. We just shouldn't have done it today. It's also just shag carpet and mostly pictures of you and my laverning Shirley pinball machine corner, Yeah, which is priceless. It's intense. Everyone in the crew keeps asking me how much I want for it. I'm like, there's no price. You can't name a price. They don't make those things anymore. Yeah, Penny Marshall and the other lady. Yeah, alright, so if
we just ignore it, it don't just go away. Yeah, just sort of like ignoring a bully at cool you know sticks and stones? All right, let's ignore it. Are you my baby? Why do you keep asking me if i'm your bay be? Do you like trucks? Of course I like trucks. Does baby like trucks? I like trucks. But I'm not your baby. No, baby did not go poo poo? So you are my baby? Stop it? Do I need to change your pants in public? You will not change my pants in public. I'm so proud of you, baby,
I'm not your baby. What does baby want to be when he grows up? Baby wants to be a fireman? Won't you say that you're my baby? No? Just say that you're my baby, and I promise I won't send the ice jackle. Please don't send the ice jackal. Is he sending an ice jackole? Not if he says that he's my baby, just say her on. Wait wait, you can hear the ghosts now. I honestly could hear it the whole time. I just wanted to see how it would play out. Here comes the ice jam No, no, no, no, okay, okay, okay,

Ron Burgundy Podcast. To those of you that are still listening and haven't completely turn this off because it was so frightening. This is This is Ron Burgundy, and approximately one hour ago, myself, Carolina, and our crew barely escaped from my garage to the guest room in our haste to save ourselves from the ice jackal. I received a gash above my right eye, but that is nothing compared to what could have happened if we had stayed in that forsaken room. I mean, we just walked out of
the room. You're the one who ran to the side of the door. You people foolishly strolled out of the room. We had equipment and stuff. Well, don't worry, because we don't have to worry about that room ever again. Tomorrow morning, I will commence having my garage permanently sealed off from the outside world. I will have its cemented end, because no one should have to live through that again. You're just going to fill the garage of fillingful of cement, So no one, no one, can go in there again
and experience that awful, awful demon. It'll be I don't know how long before I will be rid of the images of that crazy jackal caked in blood and ice. Yet some of us will be burdened for a lifetime. I mean not some of us. I never saw it or heard it. No one saw anything. No, it was just a weird girl. But you felt it. No, you felt a cool presence. No, it's actually warm in there, because there's no it was an eight foot ice jackal. Okay, Ron,
I mean, no one saw anything. Denial is a much easier path to take when you've witness something beyond recognition, something your soul will never process. All right, Well, maybe let's go to the fact check. Eight foot ice jackal. Maybe no one saw it. We can't really address that in the fact check, but um, okay, So for our fact check today, we did pretty well. Um, you had you had laryngitis, by the way, under the circumstances, I don't see why you're putting me through a fact check.
I just like to keep the podcast on track as we can. There's been still shaking. Legal is really on us, all right, Um, laryngitis, you said, we had laryen laryng genitis. It's laryngitis, which you didn't have, which we talked about. No, I didn't have it right, But when you do, you'll know it's laryngitis if you do. I'm pretty sure there is another condition called laryng genitis, though, and that may be more of a like a psiriasis. Okay, I don't
think the psoriasis of the vocal cords laryng genitius. I don't even know what that would look like. But no, you'd have to do a probe inside your throat. I don't okay to do that. A jackal is usually from a dry climate. Well, I know what I saw. It was a jackal. It was an ice jackal. It was caked in ice and blood. And it wasn't a bobcat. It wasn't a big game cat, wasn't a bear, it wasn't a hyaena. It was a jackal. Um. Cindy Williams is the other is surely correct. She's wonderful. She was
my favorite. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you have that pinball machine. How much did that run you? Well? I bought it retail. Okay, good to know. I hope you'd get that out of the garage. Well, it's gonna be sealed off, so that'll be that will be just a tomb I'm sealing my car in there as well. You should just take all this. I don't want to go back in there. I'll give you the keys. Would you mind backing it out? No problem,
thank you. Oh and then you wanted to keep our subject today was supposed to be guys, guys in the military, in the military, which is once it's kind of a stupefying why it'sn't even an issue. I mean, you know, guys have been in the military since the beginning, and why people get so up in arms? Did you is this the type of was this supposed to be gays in the military? Yeah, that's the confusion. Okay, in the
military for a really long time. Yes, And that's why I was just like, okay, well I'm happy to talk about it, you know me, I want to tackle you hard hitting topics. Yeah, you've always been I don't shy away from any of that stuff. And okay, so gays in the middle, bays in the military, maybe for another episode maybe. Well, Yeah, we're a little emotionally depleted over here for now because guys in the military no big deal. Yeah, they're already in the military, but gays in the military
is still a big issue. Well yeah, I mean don't ask, don't tell. That was repealed by the Obama administration, so now you can say it. Yeah, great, Is this in dated topic a little bit? It sounds like it's a dated topic. We should take let's take that off the big dry erase board. Okay, and maybe the episode where you encourage women to vote for the first time, that can go off too, because we've had that, right, because we've had okay, yeah, no, I know that. Okay, great,
of course I know that. Yeah, no modern human being. Here are my final thoughts. Whether you've seen a ghost or I had to admit to a ghost that you are the ghost. Baby, There's only one thing that matters in life, and that's that no one is going to stop to wipe your act. You're just going to have to wipe your own with a smile. This is Ron Burgundy saying, no one, and I repeat no one puts ice Jackal in the corner. Thank you for listening. I'm
