You lazy, dumb ass motherfucker gaslighting you since 2022. It is unrelenting. Episode 89 It is 89, I think, right? I think so. Maybe. Sounds Survival rate. That's about right. Yeah, we're getting there. Closing in on that century mark. I'm Darren O'Neil. He's didn't have to. How are you today? It's a beautiful day just outside of Iraq. Nice. It's still in the mid-sixties, Would you? My air conditioning keeps kicking on still. It's in the mid seventies here. Nice.
I mean, it'll be in the forties by next week. And then the heat probably have to be on. But I mean, I had the heat on the last week. I just don't. I mean, I don't like the interim I. It's fine when it's hot because then you run the air conditioning. It's fine when it's cold because when you run the heat, but when it's in the middle, it's horrible. I don't know about that. I mean, it's pleasant weather. pleasant. Back in the olden days, our parents used to just turn off the track system. I know.
During this time period. Well, you watch those. At least I have it set to both at the same time, so, you know. Wait, how do you do that? That's what you get upstairs and let the downstairs warm up. See, you've got a nice split system that's fighting with within itself. Yes. It's like. Well, it's. It's the warm air which rises from the downstairs, goes upstairs. So then the heat, it has to be cooled.
It's all very complex. Yeah. Cool. They're to the right temperature and then you can warm it up as necessary. Yeah. I would have never been able to live in the time without air conditioning. It would just not have been good. Probably we both would have been the little, little less chubby. The point is, this is true because that that is the downside. Sweat it all and we would have been migrating north a lot. yeah. Right.
My training, though, was not so. No. Now you got to go somewhere a little bit cooler. Yeah, it's true, because really the South is more known for the fact that you have constant air conditioning all summer long than it is for actually hot temperatures. Yes. Net net, sir. Jean is talking about his downstairs. I mean, it's whatever you want to refer to it as. You got to keep the downstairs nice and aerated and cool. Warm, warm. Right. I'm sorry. Then the upstairs is still.
Yeah. Cool off the downstairs in the world. Upstairs. That's interesting. Okay. What way to go about it? That is one way to go about it. But the idea that you realize everything that runs in the house, at least here, that generates heat, I mean, in the basement alone, where there are four nest systems and another computer, that alone would generate a little bit of heat. He got the wine fridge on the main level and the regular fridge, of course, which generate heat.
It's always like, you know, it's cool outside. Why is that. We're still running. So you've got the you had four Nazis and one one fridge. Yeah. For NASA's in the basement with a regular computer down there. I do have a, a mini fridge down there but it's not plugged in as of yet. Again. Ever since we did the carpet that has not been restocked and plugged in. Get it then at this level I have two computers running at all times. Are I running at all times? A three monitor? no, not a PI.
That's got to be just boiling the house. It puts off this, you know, it's funny, it puts off a decent amount of heat. So does the the new router puts off a decent amount of heat. Does it just blow? Things are definitely a lot hotter than they used to be. I remember. I get get work. Great. But I wonder why the office is always so damn warm. And then the addition of the what do they call these things that they got rid of. Now the Ah, that the ooma. That's the phone.
The Roku. No, the Roku. That's a TV thing. Well, the drobo. That's the dumb word I'm looking for. Yeah. The drobo with the five re certified enterprise drives. Enterprise drives run hot. yes. So I finally started getting back into the habit because I had one fail, and then it had to do all the rebuilding. Yeah. And I got into the habit of just leaving it on. Yeah, that's the best thing for it. So, I mean, the last couple of nights I've been testing it out and turning it off.
And it's funny because the office seems like so much cooler the next morning if the the door almost bad off. So, you know what kind of heat that's putting out. I mean yeah, it's once you just replace them all with just one instead of having four different ones. Well because they're all kind of full. Right. But I mean the drive sizes are bigger now. You could just get one with big drives. The offensive. I need a lot of donations to do that. But that would be you get a lot of donations.
You get to go on Planet Rage. We got a lot of donations. Exact. That's what I heard although and this show record breaking. So it's got more than no agenda. No I would no no agenda And one donation still got more than our whole show. so we're still building we no agenda.
Got a couple of show number donations recently in the 1600 range where the whole of planet rage while we are very grateful for it and yes it was record breaking I think it still came in at like 1100 and something were which is then split two ways and it's no good. Wait a minute. You actually split with him? Could you just see my money? Larry's awesome. Why? Why wouldn't I split with him? Yeah. This morning I just realized, and I don't know if this was a reason why.
I mean, I doubt it with your lightning issues. I don't have lightning issues. You have lightning? No, no, I have no lightning issues. I get all of the lightning. The nice folks over it named Silo, which is the registrar that I've been using for domains forever. Now, I have no idea why. Two things. One, that unrelenting that show was one of the only maybe the only domain on that account that wasn't set to auto renew. Maybe I was thinking the show was over a long time ago. Yeah, maybe.
I'm like, No, no, don't. Don't renew that. That's probably not good. Yeah, we're not going to need another year of that. Well, we could switch it over to other one he should like. Which I can see that may work as well, although this is fine for now. But what reason is the fucking dot shows have gone up to? I think it's 28 bucks a year to renew. Yeah, I've noticed everybody creeping up like it used to be that, you know, there's a few expensive registers there.
Everybody else was a ten, 12, $14 range. Now everybody's like 20 bucks. Yeah, it's nuts. It's like GoDaddy used to be. But I'm like, I went and looked at, well, it wasn't set to auto renew because this morning when I went to go pop up the unrelenting page, it first just gave me it wouldn't load error and then I tried it without the http sx and it gave me this domain is expired. I'm like, what the hell? I went to name Silo and the expiration date was today. So it's like, what the fuck? Name Silo.
Yes, they turned it off a day earlier. Yeah. I'm like, What's that have to do with anything? You know? I mean, one you could have emailed me, I mean they probably did and I ignored because everything is pretty much on auto renew. Right. And it was then recovered within an hour and you know, there were no fees or anything. It was just okay renew that's fine. It was well within they give you like 30 days even if you don't renew one time. And I'm like, really?
You're shutting it off the day of the renewal apparently, assholes. I mean, that'd be something that would make me look for a different company to do the registers. Well, it's interesting because yesterday CSB sent his his donation to the show. So make sure you mention his. The boss did grab his thing. Yeah, his booster Graham. But you know, and of course it never showed up here.
So it's like once again they're and they're stealing my money but they said it's right in the RSS feed which I don't understand what CSB is doing. I think he's blocking you intentionally. I think he has it. So nothing can go now because he said that his and it looked like the entire donation went through. Let me try that again. Which means you got it twice. Now, that doesn't necessarily mean that, but it's pretty much means that based on past history. Absolutely. Yeah. But okay.
So yesterday at 1614, I did get a 4950 and a 4851 from top. look at that. Amazing. Which is horrible when you look at the RSS feed, I think he's editing the RSS feed intentionally and messing with you. You are such a thief. I you can see it in the RSS feed in the open. You can prove that's not true. With that said, I do need to get your half for the domain renewal, so we'll just take it right out of all of these extra SATs that have been coming in. Hey, my domains are already renewed.
Let's just start using mine. That way. No one's stealing any shit, right? So nobody can get confused. And all of this stuff won't stop because the new RSS fleet is changing. This annoying cookie message MLB uses cookies, and I like that. They're. Yeah. Why don't you clear your cookies? Maybe they'll fix it. My cookies are fine. You look at the RSS feed that you're using stolen cookies, whether you look at the RSS feed.
And now that we have two different addresses which we fixed last week, I have no idea how that's still working. I have nothing on that in LRB from the last four days. I don't either. That's the funny thing with unrelenting nobody boasts. Well, that's good. So you just have the one the one that showed up today. Yeah. For CSB we need people to boost and then we can check that out. I mean, I don't even care if you boosted like three SATs because you hate the show and you don't like Gene.
Come on, just show us a boost. So we know this is working correctly. Boast, boast, boast. As they say over on the boosting show. Yeah, well, let's mention CSB. The well just so we actually mention his domain CSB that Well yeah well his message that he gave and he wants me to like say Russian words which is like that's what we're going to have to say. Russian words. He didn't just want you, he actually paid you to do it. So go ahead.
At 48, 51 SATs, that equals that equals what, a dollar more than the buck more than a buck. I will dance for a dollar. He says. What's the and see. Now, that was the thing that Larry didn't know. Crack. You didn't know crack, but you know, you I get because you're Russian guy. Larry's like first generation. His family came over from Ireland. You don't know crack. I mean, I knew that when we went there, like a decade ago. I mean, I guess that's why they call you a cracker. But maybe that's you.
There is. There are a lot of very white people in Ireland. What's that's just a few. Just just a few. Yes. Sunshine deprived that and is like TSB wants me to understand how to pronounce stuff when he starts breaking it down into the the irony of a guy who refuses to record his own voice bitching about, you know, pronouncing I know. And then he sends me a thing with, like, the pronunciation, like, I'm going to be able to remember that. Yeah, go ahead. I'm just saying it's a drive thru voice.
Take gospel dinging. So, I mean, that was butchering so bad. Yeah. I would not pass for Russian. Yeah, well, try emulating the female voice that he sent you instead of the see his voice. I don't. I don't, I don't. It's, it's just all like somebody sneezing. That's what, that's basically what I hear. my God. I listen to that. I'm not good with language. I'm barely good with English. But beyond that, which I think he's saying, go fuck yourself in Russian or something.
To Jean, please visit my website at WW dot CSB dot lol. Do you see many cartoons about you don't need WS just use CSB. He loves trains and he knows people are confused. He says if you just say CSB dot lol they don't know you're talking about a web address. You have to tell people w w w so they remember. I'm like, but nobody uses w w w now either.
I mean, I think you'd be better off just saying go to my website available at W No, you don't have to say w w just add u r l then maybe it's better CSB dot lol. Now there's going to be a cartoon about you fucking things. A cartoon about bitcoin hunt, heatwave front and a cunt. Yo. What I Yeah. CSB. I don't know. There's some very interesting topics he's he's doodling about. Yeah he's got one about the Russell Brand drives the day gasps. I just get some I'll be sure to see it's working.
It's working just fine. Yeah. What did you do there? And it's working just fine. Nothing firm and net Net. It looks like Phifer says Heil. Thank you. And net net says I love und dance Party with Danny. and, sir, Disco Cheese. I do like sir, Disco jeans. That kind of fits you really pure. Back in the eighties, I bet you were going, I mean, seventies. You were going out. Well, no, but this would have been the the John Travolta Saturday Night Fever. You were going out me seven. There you were.
Really? That was 77. Yeah. You were going out in your disco jeans, weren't you? Stayin alive. Stayin Alive. How do you how do you handle myself in the white suit? All you got to know is that I'm a dancer for somewhere. I need to find it. You got to post that. How big? Yeah, And it was in Chicago as well. nice car. What was the name of the place? It was like. It's like the dungeon or the. Was that place called. the. There were a lot of very weird places in, in Chicago back in the day.
Yeah. No, I've done Dance of Chicago. A lot of them. I bet you have there. Disco jeans. Wasn't the blackface around anywhere? I tell you, Chicago is really changed, folks, as it now. The crime is happening everywhere because they're not doing anything about it. That's all they did. Yeah. Now I remember drown my carry out they're having a lot of fun Yeah down. I mean, I know there was a time Excalibur was a big one. I don't know if you think it dungeon just because of it. Maybe it was Excalibur.
Maybe that's. No, I know Excalibur. It sounds to read. Infested. I thought it sounded kind of like more, you know, more medieval or more medieval. Well, I guess Excalibur is got me, right? I mean, that does I don't know. Somebody from Chicago would know somebody from actually, Chicago would probably know.
I mean, like down on Rush Street somewhere, it would have been well, I tell you, it was within two miles of the water tower, had a lovely water tower blaze, which was up until May still be like eight levels of shopping. It was one of the first malls that went up more than expanding out. I just saw an article that they are selling the fourth level up for other things. So they it's no longer mall, right? Well, it's because the first three levels are still going to be a mall. There.
But then the rest of it, they're trying to find other things to go in because, you know, everything's great. And Joe Biden's America. Yeah. And whoever a Chicago mayor is is where are you? Yeah. Johnson Yeah. We got I mean, they get Johnson didn't get a big Johnson That's, that's in Chicago, man. Big Johnson. That sounds about right. So you start you didn't get to know, but, you know, I do have the garlic supplement. Now, I don't know if that's okay. I take that as well.
I don't think it does. Jack Shit. Honestly, it's kind of like needing a fresh. I cannot say, man. Just one little, one little clove of garlic. And I don't know if I'm saying it right. Is clove the whole garlic or is clove one of those little slivers? Once the clove is the real thing. But I. What do you call the little slivers is that's that's what I'm eating so little. You know, when you take it all clean, clean it, one garlic turns into like eight or 12 little bunch of little pieces come off.
Yeah. Yeah. So you don't have to cut anything. You just have to clean it. But it's a it's amazing how much how potent that one little pieces. Well yeah, I mean it's a strong when used in food obviously when you, when you take a piece of fresh garlic like not cooked garlic cooking it turns everything into sugar. But you take a piece of that fresh garlic and you just chewed up in your mouth it, your mouth is on fire, much like if you're eating a ghost pepper.
I mean, this thing is like you can't hold it in your mouth. You have to instantly take a drink of water and just pull it into your gut. And then it literally just trends fuzes throughout your entire body. And SEABROOK is correct. So it is the clove is that little piece. The bulb would be a full. Okay, yeah. So it is a clove, garlic. Yeah. Yeah. So it's it's pretty amazing.
And I think that in fact, if you take a garlic clove, cut it in half and rub the, the part that you just cut that's got juice on there, rub that on your skin, your skin turns bright red, that's a little weird. No, it's really strong so it's good shit, man. So I've been eating one clove of garlic every morning though, and I, I feel like, you know, I probably can't even get covered. All this a clove of garlic a day keeps that covered away. I mean, vampires are covered. Same difference, basically.
But it is. It's pretty amazing. It's a definitely just boosts your immune system to help boost your immune system to help point out the you are not a medical professional not a medical doctor. Now there was a club back in the day, a golf club called Medusa's that seemed like something that's not the one. I don't I don't think that, I keep thinking dungeon, but maybe it was a different name. But it was done. Jenny, Were you kept in the dungeon at some point?
Gene And maybe you're not having flashbacks. Okay. Sorry. You don't like to bring that one up. Yeah, I don't do a lot of dungeons we talk about. Well, I mean, it is that time of year or two. I mean, for people that just kind of dabble Halloween. That's true. That is that's when all the places sales start, people are like, no, no, I'm just buying this Halloween for Halloween Halloween custom.
Well, you know, there's, there's a well, when the weather is warm and it's Halloween and you're in a city with a lot of college students, the eye candy, there are some creative. Yes, there's some creative eye candy walking around. It's going to be very cold here, I think, in next week's. I remember there was a couple of Halloweens in Minnesota where it snowed. yeah. Here, too. The one year the one year I decided not to be an asshole, which I know Why?
Because, I mean, if I'm the only one home on Halloween and I'm downstairs doing my thing on the computer, I mean, the only way to really give out candy at Halloween is to make that your job for a few hours, Do nothing but sit there, because otherwise it's up the stairs. Open the door, go back down, get out of the computer, go about doorbell rings, don't want to do it.
The one year I decided to do it, it was like 28 degrees and sleeting and like three kids showed up, which was great because those kids got a whole bag of candy. I'm like, Here, just just take it because it's done. It's I mean, nobody else is showing up. So you win for being the only ones that went out on a day such as this. Wow. All right. Keep telling stories. My groceries just showed up. I get to grab them in the fridge real quick.
well, how many of the only question will be once Jane returns, how many bottles of iced tea are actually in this order? I'm guessing at least 15. He's got an ice tea fridge. You know, an iced tea fridge is for nothing but iced tea. Who else has one of those? Make sure your boost. This is looking at a Facebook group that people are listing all the clubs that have come and gone.
I mean, there were a lot of weird ones in Chicago over the day, but I don't remember anything that would have been like a dungeon. I think Jean maybe was having a little too much fun and somebody just took them home and put them in the basement. Maybe they really wouldn't know. yeah, a club called Shenanigans. That was I mean, because that really wasn't a club. The Snug Airy. Why would I see that one I've never heard of? What would this snuggly be like as a club hot seat?
Tazi there's a good club name. The Rookery. Who? The limelight. Well, that was big, but that doesn't really say. It doesn't really say Dungeon. I still think Medusa sounds the most like something out of that. Or Excalibur would be something the most out of the dungeon vein. The zebra Lounge. So, yeah, it's a good gig right there, man. Jean should own a club. He'd have the snakes just hanging out, doing their thing. Jellies, no crowbar. I mean, it could be doing good.
The things you do may involve a crowbar, the octagon on spikes, rat bars. Another one I've never heard of. But, Nick, the rat would obviously enjoy that one. Eddie Rockets. I mean, most of these are on Rush Street, which I'm assuming is where O'Neil's. Let's see now that right there had to be a good bar no matter what. Get a lot of Irish in Chicago, but oddly enough, very hard to find a good Irish restaurant around here. We used to have a few.
Now all we have are Mexican and Italian restaurants around here. The it no good Irish restaurants and the few that were around here that popped up. The reason I'm guessing they failed and I don't know for sure it was because their shepherd's pie. And do we get that the name Shepherd's pie is because of the shepherds in Ireland that tended to their lamb's shepherd's pie in Ireland is going to be made out of lamb. Shepherd's pie here? Yeah. We use ground beef. Not the same. It is not the same
like I am. Don't want it. Make it right. There is a new Mediterranean restaurant around here. Damn good shawarma. Excellent shawarma, Some kabob. the spicy rice in the spicy hummus. I mean, I didn't know I love this stuff until I tried this stuff. The shawarma is to die for, but they have a burger. The yalla burger. The place is called Yalla and they have not tried the burger yet, but it is made with half lamb and half ground beef, which I'm thinking just sounds fantastic with yalla sauce.
I don't know what yellow sauce is, but if it's anywhere near as good as their spicy hummus. Damn, it will be good. Excellent. Excalibur China Club, I think. Gene, I think you're just imagining things. There was never a dungeon bar in Chicago. I mean, there may have been somewhere else. There may be one in Gene's basement. But what we need is Diggy guru. He would know that guys of the right age where he was doing things in the eighties that we could only dream of doing today. I know.
See Brooklyn fucking jeans. So unprofessional. Yeah. This is exactly what happens when you're dealing with amateurs. See Brooklyn, No question about it. The Chicago's house music in the eighties. No, I mean, there was a lot of fun things going on in Chicago in the eighties because you could actually go downtown. Eugene went to go bring his food in that he got a food delivery. And you know, Jean, he eats a lot. It's really hard to say.
I'm still just wanting to know how many of the iced teas came in. I'm guessing a lot. I think it's at least two a day because it's too hard to just make your own iced tea. That is too difficult to have. You know, I get it. You always want it. He is he is putting on his disco jeans that just to make the rest of the show even better. But that would work. That would work on. No, I hear something come in there. I hear Jean coming back. He's sitting down at the chair.
He's getting sidling up to the microphone. All right. Yeah. How many bottles of the iced tea were there? 15, Like about two a day again, Because it's too hard to make your own five. I make it occasionally. Five teabags equals about one of those bottles. You just throw them and let them sit for a few hours. They're done. All you need are really two containers. So that way you always have a full one or a new one brewing while you start the next.
Because by the time you can drink one, the next one would pretty much be ready. Yeah. No, don't disagree. Too lazy. Jean's got him. She's got an iced tea guy. The add to the sushi guy. Just a guy that comes in like every day and then just put some new iced tea into the fridge. Now I get I get tea twice a week. Don't bother. That. That three bottles a day. Wow. I mean I guess it's better than water right. Maybe we should open up a new Dungeon nightclub. That would be a good idea.
I still can't remember what that was called. I know. And it's impossible because you know how many nightclubs have come and gone in Chicago? A lot. I mean, if it was one of the really super big ones, he that people would remember. But there have been a lot. Definitely. I remember Olive. Olive used to be a fun place to go. I've never heard of Olive, but I believe that was big during the I think it might have been called olives, but their logo was martini glass with two of them.
Excalibur may still be around, which is almost amazing at this point. The Dirty Martini lounge that's listed here, that'd be a good one. But I did get the the No Agenda program. I was finally in end of show. So and I think I guess I have to figure out if the clip came from unrelenting or from Planet Rage. And if so, how did it get into Adam Curry's hands is always the question, How did it You never know when The Godfather is listening. Yeah, I know. He listened to this show just for you, though.
It's does not listen to the show. He loves this show. He loves to get your insights. I was kind of surprised. I there's been a couple of threads going on over I no agenda ocean where you're very very proficient and prolific.
Yeah I was going to say I don't about profession prolific yeah that is complaining that the no agenda boys hate their producer slash audience and how they blocked too many people and that they're very condescending and I'm like really I've never I mean I've picked up on some of the shtick, but that's like, I don't know if people are taking something seriously that I would just take as the kind of buffoonery and shenanigans that come off on this show.
But I thought it was kind of interesting, blocked people. I mean, Jakes blocked everybody. well, know, he said and Adam, I think, may have started I think Jackie may rock off on that him a little bit there. I just but I didn't actually block him. I did meet a guy just recently for being a total douche bag, which is the proper thing to do. Yeah, it is. It is. I mean, look, I don't you know I don't black people, if I disagree with them, I black people
when they're douchebag. Yes. And this guy, I think it was a guy at least. Well you never know. That's the beauty of the ending That was a screenshot to get, you know, because a lot of times getting a screenshot of something online is makes a quick easy impact without having to tape anything. Kind of turns it into a meme almost. Yes, Depo said. Nothing in his reply is what's the source? It's it's good I'm shot. And I'm like, I ignored it for a little while.
Then the next day I'm reading my messages like, well, since you didn't post the source, clearly it's fake bullshit made up that he put it on there trying to just tell people, Well, first of all, look at my fucking tag. It says troll as troll emeritus or something happen to be. Yeah, Master troll. I think. But this happened to be not a troll. This was about some some boy in Connecticut or someplace along the east coast winning the the all time best track and field record for girls. right, right.
Because now that's the new trans it's the thing right. And and so I'm like okay I can't remember what I call them, but it was a little harsher than douche bag. I think I went through a little more Nazi on them and then probably like you dumb ass motherfucker. no, you lazy, dumb ass motherfucker. You can't even google something. Just typed the fucking headline in that you see on the screen and you'll get the article. So actually, he, you know, he got me motivated enough to do two things.
One is actually do that, Google the headline to get the link from the article, which I then posted along with my very appropriate message of calling him a dumb ass mother fucker and then said, Don't ever bother me again. And then immediately I'm like, you know, how stupid are these fucking entitled millennium pieces of shit that I know He's a millennial. I know. I could just tell you could just feel it. I could just feel it.
It's like somebody that tells you to go do work and then 2 minutes later says, How come you haven't started doing work yet? Well, yeah, exactly. The entitled piece of shit Millennial. Yeah, and a couple of things. Cotton Gin says my Issa was from Planet Rage Episode 102. You're probably right. Adam must listen to Planet Rage, but not unrelenting. He doesn't listen to that either. And our buddy everybody, Deji guru says Excalibur was about three blocks away from water tower. shit.
And it had like five levels with different. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the best on it is Excalibur then? Yeah. Good, good, good. Get see? I said, not thinking the name was a spell br though I thought it was something else. Ah, Excalibur. You're just thinking of a big sword. But no, I remember the multilevel. And I remember I walked back home to the. He stumbled back home. I walked.
I might have floated for all I remember, but back then there used to be a place that I always use there called the Executive Plaza, which is right on the Wacker Drive across from the Tribune and I had a great view of the river. That's right. When when when you have that bend. Right, Right. And it's a very scenic city. It used to be. Yeah. Before we get bombed out, but not quite there. But they're getting there. Well, believe me, it'll get there with the amount of Go go Palestine people there.
it'll totally get there. But it's, it's also a kind of tennis corner from two very famous buildings that were part of the architectural renaissance in Chicago. And those are the the two round buildings that have garages and the bottom floors. Right. You've seen those was a Steve McQueen movie or something that yeah, they've been in a bunch of stuff.
They want a whole bunch of architectural awards and this is like get a corner from them, which is they're there right next to the House of Blues scene many a show they're not in the words, but I've seen the show for somebody that hasn't been to Chicago in like 20 years, I've got a pretty good memory. Obviously you didn't drink it up. You'd be like, I was there. I remember nothing. I remember. I remember. I remember plenty of them.
I mean, see any of them will tell you that blocking people is an act of aggression. I don't really believe that, but I appreciate his stance on it. I mean, you know, so is like going in and killing a bunch of women and children. I would I would think that more people put that into active aggression category than blocking than pressing a button on a computer. Seems to be there's a cartoon for you have the have the Israeli response to Palestinians being to block everybody's accounts.
Well, that's what a lot of these folks like, the a squad in the United States. no, no. Cease fire. That's kind like just block off the whole ceasefire immediately after a terrorist act is hilarious to me. Yes. Then you know who's backing the terrorists? yeah. And by the way, Twitter or X, as it wants to be called these days, is Chuck still? Still it seems like people are talking about how women must take over.
All the liberals left no right, Just like Cher, who's going to leave all of the rah rah go Hamas kill more people means a lot of dead Jew iconography in an act these days. And here's the thing I don't think people still understand about the freedom of speech. I see in I think it was Florida.
There was something that I think that Harvard, one of these Ivy League schools, was very, I guess, ashamed and maybe rightfully so, that there were so many pro Hamas groups at the college are now going what we have we're forcing them to disband. And I'm like, well, that's not really the right answer either. You know, absolutely not. Free speech means you let people have whatever views and say whatever they want. It's not just what you like. Well, you can't stop it disbanding.
I mean, you could have a fire half your faculty, right? Well, this is absolutely ready. Hey, there's going to be a lot of openings for conservative teachers all of a sudden. Which is the problem with the cancel culture is that eventually it's going to turn on the people that created it. I believe that because they are not in lockstep anymore, which is interesting. The actor, he's not big, but they. Well, he's big, but not in the name that, you know. But Josh Gad, who's been in a bunch of stuff.
Yeah. Yeah. I saw an article where, like, he's really just surprised about the anti-Semitic state, you know, of a bunch of the people in his little otherwise, you know, group that was all all anti-Trump and all this all of a sudden they're anti-Israel and he is Israeli and he's like, wait a minute. I'm like, You see the people, They're assholes. Your buddies. Yeah. The I've said for a long time that the the antidote to Wokeness is Islam. And I think it's just as there's was before.
And this is not an endorsement of Islam, obviously, but it is an observation. And that is that all the things that these woke people seem to like to cling on to, which is lost causes, you know, it's there's a a definite relationship, maybe not a causal one, but maybe it is a causal one between people that like to adopt pets from the animal shelter and woke culture. Because if you think about it, you know, pets are going to be around for 10 to 20 years.
It would make sense to get one that has no bad habits, has never been mistreated and is going to be a good pet for you. And yet there's this whole subculture of people that are completely against buying a clean new pet and say, you should only get pets from shelter. These are the same people that support Hamas. That seems about right and then see us be sent another test post. I only got half, so I'm guessing you got it. This is beautiful TSB Thank you for how much I got. 742.
So you should be getting some more around that. You should get a little bit more. 742 I got 742 so I think you get a little more. I got 2750 there should be one that says have sending from pod versus app at 1029 and your ears saying it came here that you only got half it came in after it net Ned All right let me be real. The total was 1515 I got 742 I could do back. I guess so, yeah. CSB here sending now from. There you go. Got it. Finally. It's working. Yeah. Funny how it works.
When we talked about it and I probably stopped working after the show and you'll be getting doubles again. Ixnay on the changing A of the RSS feed a But I always thought blocking was the way to go. And I know I took some crap just like Jacob did, but for me, again, it was only people that were can excuse me continuously just trying to bait and troll, not have a conversation. As long as you're willing to have a conversation, I will usually go down the rabbit hole.
Yeah. The minute it's clear that you don't really want to do that and you're becoming more and more insane and not accepting of reality, then that's fine. I mean, like there was one dude I remember which one that, you know. well, Taylor Swift sucks. I'm like, Well, that's fine. I don't care if you think Taylor Swift sucks. I'm just like, I don't care if people think Ted Nugent sucks or Frank Sinatra. It's like, I'm just going to listen to what I want to listen to.
Whatever you want to do, you do you. But if you want to, like, message about it 15 times a day, then that's annoying and that's when you get blocked. Mean my to see if you were going to block me when I said she's not attractive, but I don't care. It doesn't matter. It's a beautiful thing. A lot of the women that you're like, Hey man, this chick Todd, I'm like, Nope, that's the beauty. We're not fighting for the same women. No, definitely not.
I could have the hot ones and you could have whatever it is you like. Yeah. And I know you're intimidated here in your imagination, right? Is in reality. You've. You're married and you've got the one. Dammit. Wait. You're only supposed to have one. Well, I mean, not if you live in the Middle East, you know, I mean, if Taylor Swift shows up and knocks on my door, you never know. It's not your. You got to pass for that one, right? Right. I mean, I would hope so.
But you haven't you haven't talked this through and gotten the contract. I think the contract is if she gives my wife a Lego gift card, then everything's good. It doesn't even have to be a big gift card, you know, maybe a thousand, which at Lego gets you like one set. Now, I was going to say, it's not like the space shuttle, kind of the space shuttle, which she just finished building that, oddly enough. I know. That's why I mentioned it. It's like 200. That was like 200 bucks or so.
I was that which told you it's very cool that I bought it. It was a gift. It's like it's one of those things like, what do you want for your birthday? I mean, some women want diamonds and fancy Gucci bags and coach purses and, you know, Louboutins. No, no, Lego. Yeah. I mean, I guess I should be happy. That's lower on the maintenance scale than than most. But I get it. You don't find Taylor Swift attractive because you don't like tall, leggy blonds?
No, I. I like all leggy blonds that are attractive when you have to get up on a step stool to undo her bra. I get it. You need a little you need a little help. Like it's way up there, way up there. The the guy that she's the guy that she's dating, the football player guy. Her dad first met her or his dad met Taylor. Up in the bar, you know, at one of those games that whatever stadium.
And the thing that took him by surprise was that he was the one that would get up and was cleaning up because, you know, it's skybox at a sporting event. They just bring you all the food and booze you want and people just leave all the crap all over. She was tidying up everybody stuff. It's like it's like, okay, now that's somebody who's can you I was making $20 million a day. At least the diva thing has never hit her then.
yeah. Yeah. Well, I, you know, just because she's not attractive little homely, it doesn't mean that she's not a nice person. And I mean $20 million a day. I could live on that lifestyle. Yeah, she can have you just full of Legos. I mean, I was thinking about that because we made the comment and somebody else had pointed out that she makes what the football player makes in a year. In a day. And I'm like, Well, she makes what we make in like a minute. That's like our lifetime salary.
LAUGHS Yeah, it's like. Like, how much did you make per minute? jeez. That's that's a lot. It is a lot. I didn't get Mom or shed a lot of expenses, though. This is true. You know, her show is not just her singing. no. There's like 90 some odd semis. I think it was going from town to town. No. Probably hates the environment more than anybody else. I know, which is it's very interesting to me, because there are a lot of her fans are very much in that lefty mindset.
And it's like, do you not understand what the not only she's very much in the left, the mindset. I remember when I watched that movie about her, you know, she like broke out of her chrysalis of her conservative country musical that she was made to be and then became this ultra left wing, you know, rock singer, which is again, interesting when a lot of those are anti-capitalism. I think they're bad because communism is for everybody except for the for the people that say that they like communism.
Right. And she is in the elite. Yeah. So much merchandise has dropped that there's no way any of her fans could buy everything that is released. And it's interesting because there's been with the release of the new album today, the rerecording of 1989. All right, you guys on the bingo card you got there and talking about her again.
Yeah the they've done I think, three or four different waves of hey for the next 72 hours here's this merchandise available only for 72 hours and usually you know that'll come and go and then you won't see that thing when you say merchandise, you mean spaceships, right? Right. Kind of. Their version of spaceships are just different T-shirts and Trotsky's and coasters and playing cards. Yeah, same thing. Anything that you could throw her image on, right?
Exactly. How you doing? Do you think she will be bigger than Elvis in terms of crapola with her face? Make that I think she may have already eclipsed, which is hard to believe. I know because back pain shag carpets of her. there have to be there have to be tailors to have to shag carpets and paintings on velvet and everything else. Now, the sense of what's her short name to that many. I don't expect her, though, you know. I don't know.
I don't expect her to going to be dead on toilet seat with a banana and stuffed in her mouth. You never know that. Probably not. But I don't think she will have the same long lasting impact as Elvis Presley. I don't think. Sacrilege, ma'am. No reality, because there's nothing that she's doing that is groundbreaking. She's good at what she does. But Elvis ushered in a whole new type of music that wasn't just also attractive. Yes, her being attractive helps greatly with the marketing.
Unfortunately, she's not attractive enough to be in movies now. Well, this was Kid Rock, so that was the reason why she was playing the Good Liberal is that was her end goal as she would like to be in movies. And Elvis. Yeah, Elvis was very attractive. Not a liberal who's Barack is a liberal. What? Kid Rock is not no liberal. No, he said Taylor Swift, he thought, and I don't know if he knew her because of the country thing or before she really came out with all the liberal stuff.
He thought she was just putting on an act in order to kowtow to the elites in Hollywood because he thought that was her end goal as well, which was to be in movies. I don't think she'd do even better if he wasn't ultra liberal like that. I would think most artists would do better if they left it as a question. It is very weird because Nashville, it was the one that Dolly Parton talked about it. I remember she was being interviewed by, well, who's doing the interview? I want to see Dick Cavett.
You were going back a while. this is just recent. Well, I know, like maybe 40 years ago and reason it was just about 40 years ago, I started thinking back why this show has when 30 years ago that character hadn't been on for years. But she was asked about her politics. You know, it's, you know, my politics, kind of like she was in my bed is not for the world to see. It is for me when I'm casting my ballot. And so I will never talk about it. And I think she did exactly that.
That's why she's a legend. She is the legend. Yeah. I mean, again, he was the first rocker country artist who had their own damn amusement park. So there's that talk about marketing, Dollywood and the hell of a songwriter. A lot of people don't realize. Yeah. And as an artist, I would think you would want to avoid, especially in a country that is more or less fairly evenly split. To alienate one side of your fan base does not make sense right now.
I get why a lot of these guys like Springsteen, you notice he didn't really get that political until his career was kind of over. You know, those people give Daron shit. About being into Bette Midler. No net and a different. I don't like to do that. Like Bette Midler do not like Barbra Streisand. And a lot of that is because of her politics. You know, Cher, I hate because of her politics and her music equally so. I like Cher's music. I always said she had a very sexy voice. Wow. I got you, babe.
Going way back to the Sonny Bono era. Yeah. You just into the. This is what you were jamming to in the 1980s in Chicago at the clubs. I like. I like Harold's stuff with Sonny and I like her solo stuff. she's just got a unusual voice. And I was like, But for artists, you got to be careful. And I mean, you can still write, you know, the beauty is you can still write songs about it, which is why things like Born in the USA for Springsteen, I thought were great.
I mean, you're talking about it turns out it was actually a socialist anthem. Well, it turns into yellow. It's the the oddity was back in the day, people just did not understand. All they heard was Born in the U.S.A.. Ronald Reagan used it when Springsteen did not like. But again, we've talked about this with all sorts of things. If you put the music out there in its license double, you cannot choose who gets the license. Right. Although that's just a technical feature.
I mean, there's no reason that theoretically you shouldn't be able to. True. Now, the thing is, when you listen to Born in the USA beyond the chorus of Born in the USA. Born in the USA, born in the U.S., he got stuck. It was like a typewriter going over and over and over again. And I like the song and don't get me wrong, there's other rock music that does that where they repeat the same thing over and over. But the story of the characters in the verses are not happy.
They're about people that went to war, can't find work, People died, you know, it was not it was not a you know, God Bless the U.S.A. type of a song. No, it was like a, you know, lower class kind of we're all fucked them. And I appreciate people that put that kind of stuff out there because as times change, you can make statements without being vote for that guy.
I mean, I appreciate artists that will make a political statement with their work, but not be party based, be based on teaching a lesson, showing a aspect of something that people wouldn't have thought about. But now it's kind of like so very obviously on both sides. And Nashville is the interesting town because up until, you know, all music is third, you train thought, but you're kind of rambling. But I am right on track, baby. I'm going to say something controversial.
Music is nothing but a way to make poetry less gay. That's an interesting take on it. You go ahead and do the words. Do pretty much any song with no music. It's going to sound pretty gay. Born in the USA. Born in the USA. Born in the USA. I was born in the USA. Yeah. Gay. let's get it totally gay. So you weren't the kind that was writing poetry for the women you were trying to woo Back in the day, I AM That's probably one of the the things that I am the worst.
That is poetry. Little Hickory Dickory Dock UK. Kind of go through the dikes country. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dice with a cigaret being jerked out of his mouth really fast speed and slowly but back in Nashville like 20 years ago, totally conservative. Like, we are totally liberal now, right? Well, it's it is now split which is interesting to see. Nashville was always a very family based thing. All of the artists kind of allegedly got along.
I'm sure there were always outliers, but now, yeah, this is kind of like they're at war. Yeah. It's interesting to see what that does to a genre of music. It's like it's not the happy go lucky place anymore. Yeah, neither does Austin, though. This is true. This is new. Yeah. Austin used to be where? Like the pot smoking country, Western people, the alt country. The better country artist in Austin. Yeah. And then.
