And motherfucker, why the fuck did I open my fucking mouth and say anything to the universe about being happy?

You jinxed yourself. Oh God, dude, this has been fucking one thing after another. And then like a crushing like chemical depression layered on top of it I'm like I'm like a mockery of what I was not two weeks ago. Really? Yeah, I couldn't fucking the whole time like I'm sitting there thinking like I can't even you know when you get so fucking weary Entired and bum that you can't even fucking think yeah, that's what I've been with almost since I fucking walked out of this studio. The library? Or no, no.

It's just all work really. It's just, it's not all work related. It's like I said, it's just like this, this fucking chemical depression came laying on me where it was like, you just wake up and you know, feel good for no reason. And then work's been such a fucking bear lately. It's been fucking nuts. Thank God for the fourth barbecue. That was like my one day of like,

I'm pretty happy that though. I was pretty happy because it was like, it's hard to be like that when you're surrounded by your friends and everybody's like drinking and smoking weed and chill like that. Everybody's having a good time. Get them was there. Yes, I know. When it's women.

Really? Yeah, he's in the, he's just, him and Sal. Him and Sal are in the pool. Sal, that doesn't leave the pool. He's there for hours, but yeah, get him and Sal, like held down the pool. But man, have I been fucking waiting to get back here

and just tell everybody that I'm miserable so the universe is fucking, let's up to two fucking seconds man. And some of those people who feel like you have it too good, they go good. Yeah, yeah. So now here's a little uh, come up and it's for be cute. You've got a little fucking pricks in the audience. This is for you.

Tempt the gods right? Oh, you know, you just keep your head down and if things are going good you don't even Just keep it down because you have evidently it's going to end was in pride was this The sin of pride not at all. I thought it was celebrating Like I'm not posting I would not call it a sin to it To say that you're thinking hey, you know what? I'm I'm not sad and miserable. I don't know that that's a sin Oh my god, that's horrible But like so you're saying it what you just woke up at one day and you and you're not happy and it's a feeling that I used to get a lot Mainly in my 20s where you wake up and like instantly

So you just know you're off. And it's like, you're angry and upset and you're just looking for something to justify the feeling you have. So the littlest thing will be like, I fucking knew it. You know what I mean? Like you already feel like shit, you just need something to take it out on.

And it just goes and goes and goes and goes and goes. Yeah, you're right about that. Like with the second you wake up in the morning, you're like, today's gonna be a bad day. Like I just, I can feel it. It might not even be necessary or anything that's gonna happen. It's not like you're.

So you went to bed feeling okay, and you just woke up. Yeah, that's weird. Yeah, yeah. Like you're saying, you're familiar with it. Oh, yeah. What else? It's like he's saying, you're familiar with it. Oh yeah. You know it. Sometimes before you even open your eyes, you're like, oh, fuck.

And it's been, it's had me and it's grip. And you look around and see who you can take it out on. But you can't do that. So it's like, you don't do that? I don't do it. I did snap on set the other day. Actually, Ming Chen. What kind of level, what kind of level, what kind of level, what kind of, what kind of Christian ban? Christian.

I'll tell you the exact situation. No, no, no, no, but I'm talking like, you serve as celebrity blow up that, Oh, no, no, no, no, nothing like that,

like I was just like, fucking like, I was just trying to write this email. It because it's just the work never ends so even when you're shooting the TV show you're getting fucking you look at this edit for this and then look at this and we're doing the shark week thing and look at the edit for that and it's like I'm trying to write an email and they keep coming over and they're like all right we're gonna be ready in three and I'm like all right I just need like five to write this email and I swear to God like the crew likes me.

At least they do a good job of being able to write through that. No, they're not. Our crew like us too. Yeah. I don't know if I don't have any of them anymore. So how much of the crew is at my house? Yeah. Yeah, it's like we're tight crewed and together a long time.

And it's like, and I said, so, so there's really zero barrier between me and the crew. Like they say things to me all the time that like would get them fired on other shows because they can talk to me that way because I'm their friend. And I don't care. Like, wow, and they say things to you that would get them fired. Oh, for sure. Yeah. Like, just like if you mess up to make fun of you. I mean, shit like that. It's like, it's just, we all have these in jokes. It's 10 years of like a tight knit crew. So it's like, so I'm just like, all right, I just need guys, I just need five minutes

to write this email, right? And it's just like, and then like another 30 seconds go by, it's like, all right, we're, our camera's rolling and I'm like, guys, I need, I need five minutes, I gotta get this email out. All right, and then, fuck, insure enough, a minute later, here they comes, here comes one of the guys come on cue They need your front of camera. I'm like god damn it. I go can I get five minutes to finish email

But because I never do that it's like everything Yeah, I'll pin drop everybody's like you're kind of like someone trying to like smooth things I like try feeling bad that you did that or yeah, can go around, you don't like that all the time. No, but the problem was, so I get up, and I'm like, guys, I just need five fucking minutes and I go to work and Ming Chen is on set. Ming Chen is on IJ set. Ming Chen was on the IJ set this week.

I thought he was coming here tonight. I tried to book Ming Chen for our show, but I couldn't get him. So he stopped by set and like he was... Is he filming something or just... No, well, we shot in that building that one of his studios in. Oh, the bell works.

Oh, okay. So, you know, I tried to get me in a... I tried to get me in the bit, but he couldn't do it because he was recording something. I thought, and you said I tried to get him in here tonight, I think I meant until I'm Steve Dave. I did try to get him in. Oh, he didn't want to come.

He said he's recording to any podcast. He can't, he can't get it. So I guess business is good, which is great. Yeah. So I'm, so I'm starving out of the room. Stop, stop, stop, right? I'm walking, my name comes up. Hey, I gotta go.

He's like, I gotta go. And I'm like, it's good to see. I'll see you later. Like that type of thing. I got in the fucking private little area. And I just fucking finished the email. And then I called Ming. And I said, hey, buddy, I got opal. As I'm sorry for the way that when you were leaving I kind of I kind of was like in a bed

But he's like no, I don't care. I don't even know us Um, and then I go in and I go you know, and then I got to pull my fucking crew side of me like God So sorry about that guy, but they're just it's just that's it's just that I mean I could raise his edge I think the last time I snapped at the crew was in season five. Like, that's how long it's been. Like, I just don't do it. It's not how I operate.

So it's been kind of like, it's just been a week like that. I just, I haven't been able to work out for three weeks or three, four weeks. So like, my body is starting to get fat. So now I feel the fucking mid-dream. Is that the kind of those playing with your head though? Because you look fine. No, my clothes fit different.

Thank you. Thank you for that. I need that. Thank you. Is it just your head playing with your head? No, my clothes are like entide. I'm feeling kind of gross and shit like that. And it's always the best way to measure weight gain or loss

is to how you close fit. How do you feel anyway? What is? Maricycles. Holy shit. Some hogs. Yeah. I mean, yeah, that sounds like a plane going by.

It's like they're riding inside the fucking city. Yeah, so where were we? I don't know. My brain. You smooth things over, darling. Oh, it wasn't. They know I cared way more than they probably, you know what I mean? Like they're like, oh shit, he's just in a bad mood today,

which is rare for me on set. But it's, that thing though, it's like, isn't it weird though that, I give one of those guys to that, like, okay, they can't, like. Oh, one of the crew? They're done. Oh, that's not true.

Like they can't have, like, you have like a little, like, give me five minute queue. Yeah, there's been that over the years. Yeah, they all right. I don't think it would have. I would never saw it on this like I can't see anybody had the crew a couple but never be like,

shit, I need to find like like like getting really upset. I don't know. No, I've had crew members like like you know it's funny. Like this is this is a new thing That's happened recently because like now the crew you know now at this point we've been doing the show so long Like the crew is like we get like younger people in you know because all the people leave go to position And so like now you're getting like a mouthy millennial or two who gives you their thoughts on the jokes you made Yeah

Well again, it's me. So I pretend to listen. And say thank you. I didn't think about that. Thank you. And then that sort of thing. So I'm saying, like it's, it's, there haven't times where I wish there was more of a barrier. You're more tolerant than I would be as far as that's concerned. Like if I made a joke on the set and somebody came up to me and they're telling me they're millennial fucking opinion on it. Yeah. I don't think I'd react well.

Yeah, my thing is like I probably shouldn't have reacted. React is what she's done a few times right. I probably shouldn't have reacted as well as I am. But at my point is like I look but it is a little bit like, I don't know, I'm not gonna do what there's, I'm not gonna, but I wanna hear what the, I think, I would lean towards, I'd wanna hear it too. Yeah, I would wanna hear it.

I would wanna hear it, because I like a different point of view, especially from someone who has their, maybe their pulse a little bit, they're not gonna do it, but I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, but I wanna hear what the, I think, I would lean towards, I'd wanna hear it too. Yeah, I would want to hear it. I would want to hear it because I like a different point of view Especially from someone who has their maybe their pulse a little bit their finger on the pulse more than I do in terms of what is Yeah, not you know even funny

Smart whatever. I mean I'll take suggestions. I would look good up Yeah, I mean taking suggestions is one thing But like you can look at iJ over the years and I would say that they have I mean, taking suggestions is one thing, but like you can look at IJ over the years and I would say that they have their fingers. Oh yeah, absolutely. They don't need so fucking millennial coming up and being like, that joke could offend this one

or that one. Did you know the indigenous people of Canada or would be offended by that fucking joke? Where were were were were were were were were were. Where were we were doing this say on and we were going to light some sage. Like to you know, you got to build up the scene a little bit for the people right and And and that was Emma like and they were like one of the concerns was like I don't know is sage

Appropriating anything is that important in any culture? Holy shit, and you're just like But like that's not the stuff we have to listen like I We could choose to like we didn't listen to that. Right. Wait a second, come on. You're telling me that you wouldn't not burn some sage to get some of that comic bookman money again?

You, oh no, I would burn. I don't want to hear this shit. But I was like, you're like, oh, man, we got canceled. Come on. I would be taking every, I would let you know. If we could get back on TV, I would let Millennials tell me everything what do you guys think?

I'm talking tough now because I'd rather hear it from some fucking dippy millennial on set than hear it from somebody at home like writing letters to true being like I'm my religion takes sage very seriously, and I don't like that jakemata. You know, I, you know, that's what I'm gonna say, like it must have been some kind of wicking concern.

Where do I look? I feel like you don't have to be concerned about wikens. There's certain religions, no, we've been to shit about. I don't know. And we do this bit, defending anyway. Like we do this bit,

where we're shooting it again, where we call the Japanese business people coming in. It's just a bit and like we have these Japanese actors, we use them every, like the same Japanese actors the whole time and they come in and like they don't speak. It's just a bit. Anyway, so this time we're sending it up to do it again and one of the one of them is like, oh, it does come across like you're making fun of the Japanese. And you're like, well, no, they're Japanese business people. Like, look, then they're like, well, why is it funny that they're Japanese?

And you're like, that's not why it's funny. Like, they flew from Japan. Like, that's how important this meeting is that they flew all the way from Japan. We could be Australian businessmen, but you know what I mean? Like, Japanese business, but it's so it's like,

you start hearing concerns like that that you haven't heard. This is from No Crew. Second guest down in your part though. Like that doesn't like put the seed of like, oh, because it would do to me. It would make me think everything. There have been some that I've been like,

that I've agreed with them, that I'm like, oh, okay, then like we had, we had actually I think the episode there last week where we had like a transgender person on the show and I was literally like, I don't know how to, how do we, what do I call them in the bit, him, her, you know what I mean?

It's like, I don't know what state. And you had somebody you could bounce off, let's say. And there was, there's a, there was a non-binary crew member that came out to me and it was like and again She's 21 and doesn't say it takes a level of guts to like come up to the Mm-hmm and she's like listen just telling you as a non-binary person I've never minded when somebody has asked me what I choose to go by so you can just ask her and that's what I did and that's all the problem You can hire someone just to be that sensitivity.

Yeah, sensitivity coach. Yeah, I like it. Yeah, I got it. I love it. Let's do it. One lesson, don't say anything. It'll offend somebody. Just go all mine.

A season of all mine. Yeah. I don't know how we got on this. Sorry. Oh, the crew giving you notes. Oh, well, they they've given me notes. They've given me shit over there. Like, I've gotten snapped out by crew and stuff like that over the years. Could you just say your friends? Like, you got to lose that. Or we've managed to lose that. I mean, they don't, they're respectful. It's as I'm, you know, it's just a good two-way street. And I get looking back to it. It's like I did take notes from Crumb like

Safa. Remember Safa from early on. He would give me jokes sometimes. Really? Yeah, Tom Mama would listen to like a... Mom would give you jokes too. No, no, no, Mom would give me jokes, but Mom would give me like pointers on certain like things like... On audio? Yeah. He's like talking to the mic at 20. Oh, let's get some room told. Oh, that's true. Yeah, that's true. Clive, please, need room told. Thank you.

He still listens to me. Yeah, Tom. No, I was like, there were times I would say stuff especially for mom, just to like jokes for him. It's just to look over to see if he was laughing. Because I respect his sense of humor. Yeah, that's cool. The party.

You guys had a Fourth of July, Shindig. Fourth of July, Shindig in my spot. And it was a great success. I was surprised at certain things. Uh-oh. A lot of person with Down syndrome come. Oh, Sage got to come. No, Sage didn't get to come.

I wasn't aware it was this kind of party. Oh wow. He had no party like a Down syndrome party. Because you know what, they don't stop. But it's a pool. I thought the sage would love a pool. Yeah, but usually cues parties are relegated to adults. This is the first time. Well, that's right.

He did say there was some weed burning, right? Yeah. Yeah, they got a little baby burning. I thought they might be burning. Yeah. And I still was going to come with the Mrs. and even though I knew that that like she would be like I had the vapors I need to be fan

What you doing? You going to the pool girl. You should call it a sensitivity coach right now. But I was coming and you know, it's something happened I couldn't come, but I was a little stressed out and it had a little bit of the anxiety about, because I was just like, I know it's going to be lots of weed. Yeah, but it wasn't. It was very... There was not that much weed weed. Yeah, but it wasn't it was very there was not that much weed. Yeah, it was very casual and the first the first two seconds he's brought up we don't pay the picture in my

well. No, it wasn't there was most people I would say didn't warrant in my my new neighbors that just moved next door was there like it was a 95% of people were not so long. Yeah, it was fun. It was fine. And there were a couple kids there here and there. You could, you know, you could have brought anyone. No, no, it's 2020. Two. Two. That's, I mean, that's, that's like, that's like beer now,

right? Yes Yeah, so I got it. We got my wife and myself. We have to accept that. Yeah We got to like put ourselves into into those kind of I think that you was push for it I'll tell you why because it there's no There's no other drunk and perfunery. There's no fighting. Oh, you guys, no beers? There's no, no, no. I mean, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, like we as opposed to like beer or alcohol.

They don't, people don't get belligerent. Belligerent isn't even on the menu, bro. No, no. No, you're just chilling out talking bullshit and like, I've seen some people from a smoking weed who were belligerent and get pretty angry. So, I don't know if it looked like it. I know they're a smokers, a powerful shit. No shit So I don't know if it looked good. I know they were smokers of powerful shit too.

That was more powerful than they got. But I still see some fucking flashes of insane anger blowing up. Are you from Madness or yes? I was impressed by Q's pull towels. You want to think I would be. You noticed that little detail. Did I like that?

Thank you. I'm proud of that. No, no, the way they were wrapped and put in this basket, they were like, it was like, you went to a resort. Yeah. And they look like an animal? No, not like what they get on their bed, just like, in tight, you know, remember the bank things

that used to put it in and put it in the chute? And it goes up, they look like that. They're like a plastic cylinder? Yeah, but like the towel is in that shape, a tight roll in that shape. Do you buy buy like that? Are you? No, Helen my assistant does Helen will roll it like that for me for parties or just for every no just for the push you just for the party

Yeah, man, I gotta get myself a towel roller Yeah, I mean it was impressive. I like feeling they asked you to do that. We See anything I asked you to do that we so He gets off easy some weeks there was one moment If like if she's ever overloaded with you know send some of that shit down this way and get him can do it too You got it I'm not doing it. It isn't a why he's rolling There was a moment where we were go get get him and I we were going to come and dear the audio system, you know, you're playing the music. Yeah. And because

get him had the idea to put on his version of Closer. The whole party. I'm from an old episode of T.A. where he sung like I want to fuck you like an album. Yes. Yes. Nobody would mind it. See, there were kids there though. There was like, nobody would know. It was him though. Oh no, I mean, I wasn't concerned. Oh, I wasn't. They would be like, what's the singer?

Yeah. Yeah, there were a couple little kids there, so I was concerned that you know, the parents would have wanted to hear that shit. But like if there were kids there, that would have been funny. Yeah, funny. Yeah.

It was a good time, a lot of cool people. Great. A lot of you to Rosa anytime I hang out. Joe to Rosa. Yeah, Joe to Rosa. The beer pong is funny because my new neighbor like I got this first time I met these people and I was like, come on, hang out. And like the unfortunate happenstance of standing next to the beer pong table, all me and the Rosewood flag. It's so vicious with each other. It's like beyond like it's like,

it's like, we'll go and we'll just be like, you're a fuck a piece of shit. Fuck you. Like it gets like hard hard core, but we're all laughing and dying. And they're just standing there watching this go down. Be like, is it my neighbor? Yeah, like this is my neighbor.

This is how we act, but they ended up having a really good time. Speaking of pong, if you notice, to your right there on the table queue, on the table. What's this? That is a retractable ping pong net. And we are gonna turn this table into a makeshift ping pong table

instead of getting a jit table. So you didn't say it's my device. So you didn't say it's my device. So you didn't say it's my device. So you didn't say it's my device. So you didn't say it's my device. So you didn't say it's my device. So you didn't say it's my device. So you didn't say it was nice. Or you just get them to call it inventory service. We did the measurements and it wasn't going to work out to have, you know, to open up. We would have to move this fucking beast every time. So instead we got a retractable net.

Okay. And I got let's think of this though. I got this great idea. Yeah. Customers come in and if they could beat me at a game of ping pong up to 21, 50% off their entire order. All right. But if they would if I win. I'm not playing win. It's just regular. The normal price. Okay. All right. But how many times are you gonna off of that in a day? What if 13 people

come in? What do you want to play 13 games of ping pong? I think you could. You want to play 13 games of ping pong. Yeah, I'm dying to play at least one. I was playing Gidham today, but it's like, I want to play someone who's got some, who's a V-roll. You know, I want to play somebody who's got some, who's got some fucking skills, man. It's just, he's just playing. But you see what they're playing with.

No, these are our makeshift paddles until we get our real ones. We're getting paddles with four color demon logo. Oh, nice. Yeah, we got that at the thrift store. Oh're getting a paddles with four color demon logo. Oh nice Yeah, we got that at the thrift store. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's a little cheap. It's chancy, but that's what that's until the real deal gets here next week Frankfurt candy all say all right nice, but I thought that would be a fun aspect of a visiting the general store beat me get 50% off your entire order. That's pretty good, right? Yeah. Okay.

He, uh, get him, I thought it was very well-behaved at the party, right? No, no, no. He was the remote, it's where he was saying stuff that was a little, like, politically incorrect, and I was hoping that somebody would hear him. I'm never gonna do it. But other than that, yeah, I thought he, there was one point also,

he almost knocked rocking to the pool. He fell over, he felt like, you know, you than that, yeah, I thought he, there was one point also, he, you know, he almost knocked rocking to the pool. He fell over. He felt like, you know, you have that, that, uh, main sitting area underneath the Eramish Gazebo. Yeah. And there's a step down. Yeah. And get him kind of missed that step a little.

Oh, it's stumbled and stumbled. Yeah. Uh, it was not quite. That would have been pretty funny. I was wondering too, which is, which is worse. I'm holding Benjamin Kat. Yeah. And I'm on your segue. Right already. I'm unhappy. I accidentally go into the pool. Yeah. Now, is that more frowned upon? Or the downs, baby, who was like maybe not even a year old. This kid was so fucking cute. Yeah. Oh my god. He's awesome. He's even such a great old kid man

Listen, you're asking me The kids got to learn to swim sewer Dude Benjamin was holding court. Oh man. I was gonna believe it Yeah, cute brought him outside all the girls gathered around. They're all sitting in a circle Well, he just goes around gets pet. Yeah, he looked like a cold leader He had all these beautiful women around him. Good. Just cooling him and he would just walk from one to one. And then and and one of the girls was like, I can't believe I'm meeting him because

he's new on the show. He's like, I can't believe I'm meeting him. I feel like I'm meeting a celebrity. She goes, it's the Benjamin cat. And I go, well, I go, it is like meeting a celebrity. And he was great. He just and then the bet. This is why he's the coolest cat. Like once he's done, he's like, he got pet and he he was great He just and then the bet this is why he's the coolest cat like once he's done

He's like he got pet and he's like I'm fucking done and he just walks into the house Yeah, and he's gonna want more Yeah, it's a cool cat man I would not be happy if you dropped him the pull though What about me I don't know why you're on the segway to get with your cat. Yo, cue watch. Watch me.

Cue watch. I'm not kidding. I'm gonna jump and pull cue. Cue, would you look? I'm playing beer pond for two seconds, you. Come on, your piece of shit. Look at me. Rewds.

Oh shit. You come on your piece of shit look at me Oh I had a blob hot tub Really yeah, you could get yourself a hot tub. Well you have the you have the room if you know I can Oh, that's right. You can go ahead ever again That's true. I totally forgot about that right now. I Cannot go and go hot I know this time. I went to last time I was in a hot tub ever. What happened? Did I know this story? I went to the last time I was in a hot tub,

I was on the set of mall rats. Okay. And I went to the hot tub. 30 years ago. That's the problem is real. And about two hours after getting out of the hot tub, I got the worst massive stomach cramps ever in my life. And I can only attribute it to being in a hot tub. Because it was the only time I ever had been in a hot tub before. Yeah, all right. I never got cramps like in my life and I can only attribute it to being in hot toe because it was the only time I ever been in hot tub. Yeah, I never got cramps like this

before. Agony. Agony. I think it was cooking my intestines. Okay. That can happen, right? Well, what is probably around the same time as sure as your body, I guess. And it didn't happen to me. Yeah, but I mean, I'm more sensitive. Oh, it you want to be a emergency room three times on that trip? I know. It really was like we had a room on standby. Remember with the sheets that burns for my skin because they were using too strong of a detergent. Well, they were using a detergent that you were used to. I'm like, I say it was too strong. And then the stomach cramps, right, I asked you to take me to the emergency room.

I think it was a, wasn't there one other thing? I can't remember now. And I can't remember a third thing either. I definitely remember those two very well. Oh, I was. But how come, how does a blow up hot tub work? It's, first of all, I bought it as a, I mainly bought it as a gag,

because my buddy Joe O'Burgio is a, like, he's a quirky character. I love that guy. I was like, I know he'll love the hot tub. I don't know why. I just knew he would. I ordered it off Amazon. It's only like 700 and changed, right?

And... Well, compared to a hot tub, it's like $10,000. Like, how much is a hot tub? This would be a great joke. $7.00 dollar joke. Oh,000 joke. Oh, well no, I'm gonna, my idea was either wrap a little off at the party or return it.

Damn, it's not, which just turns out I got to return it anyway, because it didn't work right. But you just blow it, it's awesome. Like it is like, I was so impressed, it was a Coleman. Now in my mind, I'm picturing a blow up hot tub. Does it look like something you would get at like Target like one of those kitty pools? It's a little. Now in my mind, I'm picturing a blow up hot tub. Does it look like something you would get at like target? Like one of those kitty pools? It's a little bit better than that.

It's taller. Yeah. And it's square. What would you say? It was like five, five, six, five, six, six, six, six, six, six. Yeah, it's the technology's unbelievable. It's, you know those air mattresses you press about and they blow, it's that.

And it's this really thick material though. So it doesn't feel flimsy Um, and then you hook up then I have these ports on the side of sex in it Could I? Yeah, I could have no I didn't uh, but I could turn get you I'm like Helen come back back that up You want to use gloves? I want to return it in one of those cylinders that you put the towel in. I'm eccentric that way. I'm muddy.

I'm not a guy. Such a goofball. I'm a joke I'm not a guy. Such a goofball. I'm a joke. In practical. Some would say. Who's he talking to? I'm sure he's talking to himself. Everyone else is looking at concerns.

But and then it has like, you know, like it has a little side unit that looks like a dehumidifier. Okay. I would pour it that connect to the hot tub. But then it heats the water and it filters the water and it bubbles the water. It's unbelievable. Like that's what I'm saying. Like for a hot tub and that was a seven person one. You can get the five person one.

Seven people. Good for you. Yeah, that was a scan though we we had four people in there and it was getting well I was already stomach rub knees with dudes and I was like I'm not doing this anymore I saw him again. We're looking at like you and I think the roast was in there like We do Very boy There five of us at one point there and it was like I'm just getting awfully man stewish The technology was I was I can't recommend that enough.

It didn't work. Like, like, it only got it. The first day, it got it up to 100. And then the next day, it wouldn't get it up past 90. So I ended up preparing it. So that's how high you can get to a triple difference. 104. Yeah.

Yeah. That's hot, right? Yeah, yeah, that's pretty, that's, but that's a hot tub, maybe. That's it. Yeah. Yeah, so that was fun. There's a big difference between like a hundred and one and a hundred and four. You think three degrees not a big deal.

Yeah, but it's a big deal. Especially when it's like already 90 degrees out. Right. Yeah. He's sitting there, but it was fun. It was a good time. Yeah, I think everybody, I think everybody walked away from that party thinking. Yeah, it was pretty sweet. I think so. Yeah. And Troy was like the last leaf. He should have done like 130. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, it was fun. Yeah, it was good to see Troy. I don't get to sit around and talk. She likes you. They should have with Troy. You guys were separable, man. Yeah, it was fun. It was fun. All right. Before we have any more fun, there's too much fun. Uh, too much shenanigans. Talk about. Any more fun, there's too much fun. Too much shenanigans.

Yeah, you try reading the same ad for fucking 10 years. I mean, literally, like, how much more, how much more humor can I instill into me undies, I mean, for fuck's sake. Give us a small break here I remember one day used to be funny yeah I was better when they were funny now I just as a scrub right throw them now cuz they're not funny doesn't do us any good They were funny. Is it ever okay to be happy that someone was murdered? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, of course. Yeah, let's say. A song I've been laudin'. Oh, I was thinking more personally in life. Like there's no one that you've met in your life. That you would be happy if they got murdered because I got at least one. I know you have the one.

Because then you're going to get shit right on the grave. You have to grave a situation. I mean, we have never thought about that before. Like if that person got murdered, the vicious I can't believe I'm saying this the happier I would be. Isn't that crazy? He's old like if you found out he was dismembered and was still alive while it was happening. Well I mean well somebody took my part in the joints like a mob guy. I would fucking love it. Oh I would be so happy.

I would just love it. Oh, I would be so happy. I would just monster duty. I can't get into it. What does monster do? It's, it's a life. It's a, it's more of a, it's one of a decades long ongoing issue. It's been a good 20 years now. But in this person, this person was partly responsible for Johnson getting car jack. That's how fucking long this trip going on. Really? Cause I was on the phone with him, ranting and raving about this person. And I still hate them to this day. Do you do you ever say to yourself like maybe if you can learn to forgive, you'll,

you'll feel better. Never. Not even a possibility. Is it that egregious? Like I'm going to ask you Brian, because I know he's going to answer me yes it is. But do you think it's that egregious that? I'll look away, you could be honest.

Is that like like him saying out loud that he would find like he would be giddy if he found out that he was taken apart piece by piece? I'll say this much. Most people would be aghasted and being taken apart piece by piece. Like they would be like, I think that the punishment doesn't fit the crime. But he's my boy, so I think there's nothing bad that could happen to this person. Nothing. There's nothing too bad that can happen.

That I wouldn't celebrate. You name it. And if it happens to this person. I'm trying to thank you. I can't think of anything. I can't. I can't. I can't.

No, I can't. No, I'm not trying to think who it is, but I'm trying to think of anybody in my own coming into contact with anybody in my own life that I could be that way. Like, I don't think there is, that I could be like, like, wait, wait, wait, wait, they cut his head off and his balls.

Yeah, and he was still alive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's a dick, it's a male. Yeah. Okay. And I would be like, shh, no, yeah, yeah, it's a it's a it's a male. Yeah, okay. I Would be like No, I wouldn't there would be maybe a little bit of nausea no matter who it was We don't have to see it. You're just here. I know, but here even I look at pictures It's the word I'm seeing photos. The word hatred is is often I think under you is it like often overused

This is I can say in my life. I I know what true is often I think under you, is it like often over you? Right. This is, I can say in my life, I know what true, true hatred feels like. I do. And it's crazy feeling. And if you told me I wouldn't recognize the name. No, not at all. I don't know. I have no frame of reference.

And I don't blame you. I don't blame you. I would feel the same way. Yeah Didn't molest me right like that All the listeners were like Would you know that for effect? I will say that this person did diddle me it couldn't make me hurt hate them anymore than I do. That's how much I hate them. It is a hatred.

Burning. Wow. As much as you've ever been. You know what? It could fuel you though. It may be. Oh, it has. It has, yeah.

It could motivate you. Well, the good thing is like I've had multiple opportunities to really jam it in this motherfucker's face over the years. Ah. Ah. Ah. I mean, I've had, right? I've been able to really fucking He's really jamming this motherfucker's face over the years. I mean, I've been able to really fucking stime me their own life and career and fucking really jamming in them. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, trust me, they deserve it. You would call it. You would. Some might say that's a mean streak, but you're saying it's deserved though. There's no mean streak. There's no mean streak.

Wow. Yeah, I'm the victim here. Oh, I can't now I'm gonna look for my next opportunity to fuck them. It's been years. What are you talking about, though? Yeah, the reason I ask is because there's this big game hunter Who the guy, you know, he's like, oh, he shot a line. He shot an elephant. You know, there's, okay, this is not a person who go who is known as the big game hunter. This is just a big game hunter. This isn't the dentist. This isn't the dentist guy that

shot the line. This is another, what says an avid hunter of endangered animals was shot dead in South Africa after his truck broke down. He was found dead next to his vehicle, cops say they have no mode of yet. Two hunting rifles were found near the Kruger National Park Wildlife Reserve. And they said he was shot by a man who pulled up alongside him when the hunter stopped his truck after it overheated. He was shot execution style. Next to the vehicle in Lim Popo said the Twitter account and

It's like there's a bunch of pictures of him with like dead elephant and dead lions and shit Says the group said two men got out of a white Nissan truck and shot him the outlet reported the man shot him in cold blood It's not too mandated if they have no suspects. I don't know Well, I guess they have witness. They just don't suspect anybody. There was two hunting rifles to Wait, they shot him because he killed animals. That's the way it's looking What the fuck would you want to shoot? Yeah, I mean there's no sympathy for a guy who kills elephant and shit elephants can think and Reason and communicate is there anything cuter than a baby elephant trying to play with somebody? It's fucking unbelievable.

It's like, it's like God smiling when you see that elephant. Yeah, like you can't be upset. You're watching that shit. I don't even know why, like what is it inside someone that's like I want to hunt and kill an elephant. I want to shoot it. It's the craziest thing. Like what is the matter with you?

We shot a giraffe. Again, yeah, like these are things that you like do not need. Like to be, to be killed. There's no reason to kill these things. Like a one year, do they, do they not feel like I just took something beautiful out of the world? I don't know. Superior. Yeah, I don't. I'm the alpha predator here. There's a website that says we're your African dream. The business charges, $350 a day to hunt game,

$2,500 for a crocodile and $1,500 for a giraffe. $1,500 for a giraffe. Fucking sweet giraffe. Just a little giraffe. I remember you used to do that went to and I never did this but people would put Cheerios or not Cheerios fruit loops on their cheeks and they jarask I'm choking up here oh my god but the the jarass would stretch their necks over the over the fence and they would take the cheerly fruit loop off people's faces so gently. I

Love dress, but I wouldn't do that. I probably emergency room would a fucking weird girl I fed your ass lettuce from my mouth Like I put a piece of lettuce in and they just wrap their tongue around the lettuce and like take it away Yeah, but made you do that Because the other people doing that, because I can't imagine why anybody would start putting fruit lobes on their cheek. Yeah, it was just at the zoo. I was getting a tour of the zoo.

Yeah, what a weird thing to be like, I know what I'll try. You want to that zoo. Yeah. It was a, it was a, not a beautiful zoo, but it was a very unique zoo. I wish it was still around. It's gone.

Yeah, burned down. Oh, sure, what zoo is it? It was out by Columbus, New Columbus New Jersey is really far away But it was like a very very Burn down there was all speculation insurance and shit I think there was like four fires there within two years Not too soon they're burning one animal at a time. They keep in dragons there like what the fuck's going down? They're keeping dragons there like what the fuck's going on?

Walt I don't know how you feel about this like coming off the heels of them the state legalizing weed They're saying magic mushrooms could be legalized for personal use in New Jersey Now where does one get mushrooms now? Is this a black marketing when you want to get a magic mushroom? That is that I've done. Have you grown yourself so few times in my life that I don't I wouldn't even know where to start like let's say you got a hanker Inferno mushroom tonight. Where's the first person you go? What do you call somebody? I can't be their name in the New York

I have some friends that live in like, like working the industry, I know. I know what would do that, microdoses. It takes it every day. I'd probably go to him. Now you couldn't just try to grow mushrooms on your land, or is that illegal? I wouldn't even know how. I think that's illegal.

We just let shit just lie, right? I wouldn't, I'm not a mushroom. Like I wouldn't, I've only done it a couple of times. Hmm, how do I feel about that? Well, it says it would legalize magic mushroom for the treatment of mental disorders. Uh, it would allow residents over the age of 21 to possess, store, use, ingest, and hell process transport delivered without consideration, or distribute without consideration for grams or less of silo, silo, silbin.

I know I know how to pronounce this word. Silo, silin. Maybe a tron. People are gonna tell me a tron. I don't know. I forget how to pronounce it. I don't know. I'm gonna be a legal.

Isn't it weird that it's a legal anyway? It just grows. So then that can just grow. Yeah. Yeah, but maybe people be walking around like loosening and shit, you know? I mean, do we have a mushroom problem? I think there's a lot more.

Like they tackle the big problems of substance abuse and I don't know if mushrooms are like, they said that big of an industry, the mushroom industry? I don't know. I tried this candy bar that had the chemical in it, silocybin, I believe. And it was like one of the, like, candy bar probably about this big, like not a small candy bar, but one of the bigger ones. And I felt absolutely nothing. You ate the whole bar? I ate the whole candy bar. You of the bigger, bigger ones and I felt absolutely nothing. You ate the whole bar?

I ate the whole candy bar. You were just selling this at his can? No, it was some guy I know. He was injecting, he was making his own candy. The people he knows make their own, uh, edible gummies, you know, weed gummies and that kind of stuff. Do you think he just sold you a chocolate bar or something? I mean, there's probably a good chance of it.

This Hershey bar is going to get you fucked up, bro. Yeah, the Hershey bar is out on the bar. All I have to do is pay $85 for it. No, he had people who made their own items, and then they would put them in packages, like, for example, like, seller-patch kids or something like that. And there was this Rice Krispie treat that Mary Beth tried.

And the thing with when people like this, like these home cooks are making them is they have no ability to evenly distribute the THC. It's just not a refined enough science, I think, to be making this shit at home. So Mary Beth, you know, her normal amount of Krispie, and I was like, I'm gonna have to take her to the fucking hospital. She's like, I'm hallucinating.

Really? Yeah, she was like, she was a bad trip, I guess. You would call and it was, I had to walk her throat. She was in bed and she's crying and shit. It's not annoying for you. Yeah, you're wasting my night. Well, that's the thing. It was a waste of the fucking crispy. I paid for that, you know. But that's the danger though. I could have bought another fucking mushroom bar. I've got anything out of it. I could have bought a hundred dollar Hershey bar.

But that though is the concern. That's where you don't want this to become. I think easily accessible though because it looks like candy. You're gonna get your somebody is gonna have a child consume the shit and die though. If it becomes that, like, if they start putting shrooms into candy and chocolate bars and- Flintstones vitamin. Yeah, the shrooms, I don't know, I don't know. You said they put shrooms into the chocolate bar, right? Yeah. The chemical.

Yeah, I mean. Yeah, like I've say sage got a hold of it, she ate the whole thing. Yeah, if it's gonna become legal, it should look like a nasty fucking fungus. So kids don't want to eat it. And if you need it so bad, then you got to eat this fucking fungi. So the, so the, so the, so the, so the, so the, so the, so the, so the, so the actual, so the actual, it's cool mushroom. So the actual product looks like a fungus.

Yeah, not just the, like fungest or something. Not just the picture on the wrapper. Well, yeah, when you open it up, it looks all slimy and it's that weird nasty beige color. It smells like fucking sweet. So if you're a marketing standpoint, I feel like they want to go that way. It smells like feces.

Because then you really, then you know that you're really, the people who are buying it, they really need it or want it. Right. You know, it doesn't become. I got to tell you when, when, when, these weekend warriors, you know, just trying it. And then the kids get ahold of it. Yeah.

I got to tell you like when I was deep into the pills, if they smell like feces, I probably still would have eaten. Yeah. Yeah. I would have proven myself. Oh, good. What a yoke that was. What the pills. Yeah, I mean, I'm glad that's way in the rear view. Yeah, it's pretty nice, man. Yeah, this I was watching a show the other day, I was watching somebody same thing like opioid thing and like I remember it

I remember like everything this person is saying I Remember feeling that way and like the trying to get off it and the pain like the The body aches and the mental shit all that stuff like so much so that you're like It's not worth it to do it again on a personal level. Yeah, I'm just I guess that way I wouldn't want to go through it again. It just sucked. Like an e-replacement. It's like it really sucked. Aside from the pills I gave me. Yeah. It's just something you don't want to go through again because it's awful. Yeah. And it's like how high are the highs on that stuff? Isn't it just checking out? Well, when you first start, the highs are great. Okay. It's after a little while, not too long,

before the highs start to diminish, and then the highs aren't there at all. Then you're like, I just got to take it so I feel normal. I don't know, you know, you hear people say that all the time. Yeah. I got to take it so I feel normal. And what that means is not having the body aches, not having the, just like that crazed like, I got to get more, I got to get more type of feeling. Cause that's like a lot of the time that, that your on it is spent thinking about when you're going to take the next one,

or God forbid you should run out. So you're always checking your supply, you know, making sure that you're making your car. What's the hot drink? A sling box. Yeah. That was probably, I guess that would be, I guess that would be a low point. Yeah. Because I had so little money at the time. I mean, that's the, that's the equivalent of like searching the couch cushions for like change and should like that when you're selling off sling TV's

I have a listener sent in something to the mail bag and I thought it was something that you guys might have an interest in weighing in on. He's looking for some advice. Oh, all right.

This is a doozy though. Um, deer, bry, Q, Walt. I've been a long time listener and love hearing your advice for every situation. I recently found out that my quote unquote father isn't actually my father. Whoa. My mom had an affair with another man. I find out My mom had an affair with another man. I find out through ancestry DNA test I find this out that way she let my quote unquote father not only raise me But let him pay child support for 18 years of my life. Oh, your mother's a sociopath I Need a vice and how to proceed with learning a 32 year old secret and what course of action I should take

The man she slept with is an audio engineer that lives close to me. It's hard for me to even look into the mirror because all I see is him now. I feel like my whole life is a lie. Please let me know if this is something you guys can help me with. Even a discussion on the topic would be nice. Take a DNA test, it'll be fun they say. Never thought anything like this could ever happen. Thank you know, discussion on the topic would be nice. Take a DNA test, it'll be fun, they say. Never thought anything like this could ever happen. Thank you guys, much love and respect. I won't say his name.

Come on. Which this is not that uncommon, it seems. No. Not with this new technology about like tracing your past and shit. You're able to figure shit out now. Yeah. All those like that affair that you had 18 years ago

or however old the guy is 32, 32 years ago has now. So okay, so he's 32. Let's say conservatively his mom was 20 when she had him. I mean, now she's in her 50s. How do you confront a 50-year-old woman with like, hey, slut. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's harsh. I mean, I don't think it's the fact that she was pregnant at that age. I think it's the whole letting somebody else up the tab. No, that's what I mean. I'm just saying she got pregnant at 20. Like she's in her 50s now. So it's like, it feels like it would be easier to call a younger person on it than an older

person. I don't know why. You feel that with so much time as past, it's better to not even bring it up. Don't just keep this secret. I tell the mom, I knew. I wouldn't tell the dad I knew. Why? Because I would want the mom to be like, I know what you're like and I know who you are. Oh, you want to what gain some sort of edge? No, you don't know when you might need that edge. Come will time, Pam might divide the spoils a little differently.

Wow, I don't know if I'm be shocked if that helps. That's helpful to this guy. Yeah, no, no. If it's me, if I find myself in this situation, shocked if that helps that's helpful to this guy. Yeah, I don't know. That device is cute. Yeah, anything. If it's me, if I find myself in this situation, I, the first thing I think he's got to do is, he's already, I get already tell from the tone of, I assume that was longer email than what you read.

That was it. That was it, because his tone is already kind of like, what was me type thing. And I think the first thing you know, there was divorce yourself from that. And like you can't be sad sack about this. Who's my real daddy? Yeah, like enough to like right away,

stop feeling sorry for yourself. Just be like, okay, this is fucked up situation. And then, Okay, can I feel sorry for myself? Don't lose your, don't lose your, I thought why though do you think it's good to not have the lowest me? Because it's not helpful.

It's not helpful to the situation at all. And you're creating it. Look, you can't control. This isn't a more thing about life. You can't control anything that happens to you. You can only control really how you react to it. So he's in charge of how he reacts to this right now. Part, you know, part of it could be, you know, you could either be like, why did this happen to me? What's wrong with me? Boo-hoo-hoo, or you could be like, well, shit, this is kind of fucked up. And if you don't let that over that emotion or that feeling, sorry for yourself, take it over,

then you can make some fucking real decisions here. Me, I want to meet the guy. You would. I would want to be Mario father. I would want him to know I'm his that I'm his biological son. Well fuck I got away with it for too long. Like and you're and you're what way the sound engineer. Yeah, the sound. I mean, he's the in. Is he the innocent victim in this though? He does. He may not even know. You're right. You're absolutely right. Yeah, let me retract that. I would, there might be two saps in this. Yeah. Yeah, I guess like I would, the only one I would be worried about finding out is the guy who thinks he's my biological dad.

He paid, he put in all the money. Well that wouldn't be the part that I'd be worried about. He's been years he paid for somebody else's. Yeah, but he's his son. I wouldn't, like, that's what I not saying, like, he's still his son. Like, that's still his father. That's not saying, like, he's got a... But if he tells him he could be like,

he could be so enraged, he'll take it out and be like, you're not my son. I know, no. That's the good beat. Yeah, I would assume not. I'm assuming that that's not gonna happen. Well, what good does it do to tell the, the, not the fake dad,

but the dad who's not the biological father? Like, what good does it bring to him to tell him? Okay, mom cheated on you, fucking 32 years ago. It seems like the marriage broke up anyway. Like, as he's paying child support. Yeah. So there's not, it's not as if, like, there's a happy home to consider.

Yeah. I mean, he's going to be real unhappy. Then he's like, so all that child support they pay it. Exactly. I said, like he could be super angry and super like, oh my God. Is that his only son? Does he have a brother? Like, there's some missing information for me to look out there. But in terms of the audio engineer, like nothing would stop me from knocking on that door and being like,

hey, we gotta talk like I'm your son. Would you fuck my mom? I fucked my mother. Would you have expectations or desires for a relationship or? I would be kind of interested in, yeah, there would be a design. It would be like, I want to know my history of my blood, like I'd wanna know where it came, but ultimately it doesn't matter, you know what I mean?

So that's what I'm saying, like if you can keep on dispassionate. It's hard though. It's not easy. It's hard, but it's a tough conversation to have, it's tough to see it working out, like where it works out great for everybody. Be can't even get too mad at,

because let's assume the mom was 20. Like people are people, your parents don't know any more than you. You know what I mean? Like I'm 46, I'm 16 years older than my dad was when he had me. I don't know what the fuck's going on. Like it's like you just learn, you get older and be like these people don't know anything. I think you don't give yourself as much credit. You have a very very well head on that shoulder so you know you know how things work and you

are you would be more so than much like yeah you know you're you're a very smart intelligent person. I think if you look at the human race and you look at the, like, there was a chart of where I fall on it, I bet you I'm just right in the middle. I don't think I'm anything special over anybody else. I've had good people in my life who have helped me out to have been wearing this room.

You know what I mean? Like, I've been able to, like, like, I'm a product of my environment and it's just like I've been lucky in that regard. But in terms of like intelligence, come on. But you carry yourself and you proceed to live your life in a way that shows that like, like if you were the father, that son would be coming on to a doorstep that would be and

take all the way all the old. He's trying to get the IJ fortune. That's what he's trying to do. He's going to pass that front gate. I'll take that. That's a solid gate he has on his house. You would be, you would be a sniper's on the roof. Just in case this situation arrives.

Some capers. Even when you'll show up at the front gate. Yeah. But you would be somebody that would be enriched. Your adult son's life though. Even even if you were still, but we don't know the way all everything, all the success and everything, just as a man, you would be your, your new son would be lucky to have to get to be able to know you.

Well, you're talking about him and his son are you and get him? I mean, it's like you and him. You would hope that this, the audio engineer is like, look, like again, the audio engineer when he gets that knock on the door has this, like, you can't be moan all those years lost you can only be like this is the situation that me and my offspring find that sells in what is what is it going forward like to sit there and get like I'm not saying look the winner robots you can't fucking turn it off and I'm not saying don't be upset but you got to really like not let

emotions guide you and you have to be like, I'm not responsible for this. The only one who's really responsible for this is the mother because she's the one that fucked the somebody outside of a marriage and kept a secret from everybody involved. We don't know that though. But even if that's the case, you have to forgive her because you don't know what was going on in her life? Maybe she didn't even know. Maybe she didn't even know? You're right. Maybe she didn't even know. So it's just like to get... She didn't know what?

Maybe she didn't know who the father was and assumed that it was... Oh, okay. Maybe she assumed it was the man that she... About then you kind of checked, so it wouldn't have mattered. Well, yeah. We could do a blood test. She was in her 32 years ago, that would be, it's still in the 90s.

Yeah. You still, you could have found it. Leah, ladies, early 90s, yeah, right? She knows. I don't know. I would just say, just get rid of the anger and the herd immediately and then just think about how you want to focus. And if the answer is, I don't want to talk to the audio engineer.

I don't want to know. That's your decision. That's fine. But whatever you do, you've got to put, you've got to, can't lead with emotion and you can't lead with anger. You have to just say like, this probably isn't even that uncommon of a situation and it's fucked up, but this is where you are. And what are you going to do? What are you going to do about it now? And you just got to remove the fucking crying and whining. Well, the best thing is, yeah, the pussy-ass bullshit. You gotta remove it from me. You gotta be a man. The best case scenario is you tell your biological father and you guys strike up a relationship of some kind

that enriches your life. That would be great. That's the best case scenario. Yeah, but if you go knock on his door and like, me and like, fuck you, you fucks like, wow, this is never gonna happen Anytime I go to Pemenejers Italian

I agree I Get 60 I know it was It was the 90s. It wasn't Harry back then, I could say that. But the worst case scenario is he slams during your face, right? That's the worst case scenario. Or the worst case scenario is then you upset your mother and you upset the man who raised you.

We're the audio engineers family too, like suddenly now. There's a time, me personally, I know how I would go. What would you do? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. It's the easiest route. That's fine too though.

It's the easiest, less work, less emotional toll on me. And that's all that fucking matters. I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't even think that that's a joke. Like I think that's a real valid way to pick it up. I wouldn't change nothing. It means, I mean like, okay, I can have a relationship in my 30s. If I'm in my 30s, I can really relate to the guy

who's in his 50s. Is it that great anyway? Trust me, I got a lot of bunch of new friends. It's not that awesome. Yeah. It's just another person you have to now care about. And with that, you know, comes some rewards, but also comes with other things too, you know, like emotional toll that like when you invest in somebody else.

Yeah. You know, he's putting himself out there because what a funny engineer is like, go fuck yourself. I don't care. Slams the door in his face. Or he comes overly involved. We got to recapture lost time. Yeah, we got to go to ball games.

Go ball games, I got to charge it. I'm going to teach how to drive again. It's hard to know, I wouldn't knock on the door. Maybe I'd write a letter, a handwritten letter, an only email at shit. I can write it, send it, just be like, this is my email if you want to get. Did you sign your name or would you like if you want more information come meet me here?

Yeah, I'm not playing this. It's not the song. I'm like, playing a game with the fucking cat. Well, then you know, though, I'm gonna be at this diner. No, I would be like, this is my email address, if you want to. But like, what's the point of like, why? Like then you're at the diner waiting to see me shows up like

It's not a movie. Yeah, it's more cinematic That's this shit. I'm saying leave behind like like just you got make it as easy as possible for the man to fucking connect with you or don't Right, I don't set a meeting point a year in the future and see what's up. I don't know I think we I think we helped us dude. Whatever you do dude like what you have at this, I put it like this. Yeah. I don't think you can make a wrong decision as long as you get your emotions under control and and get your emotions under control and get your anger under control and think about it clearly, then any decision you make is the right decision. That's it.

I think that's sound. I think that's good. Don't be a pussy. Stop being such a pussy. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of people have it way worse. You got to see this guy. I've had the fuck that I hate. I have Stop being such a pussy. Yeah. Yeah. Like a lot of people have it way worse.

You got to see this guy who had the fuck that I hate. I had to deal with him in my life. Yeah. All right. Well, that's all I had. What do I mean? I think that is all I had. Yeah, I don't know.

I've been working since 9 a.m. So if you guys want to get to that other episode, I'm not going to mind. I mean, just want me to say anything, Brian. I don't know. You could say what you want to say you know what to say what. Yeah. Steve Dave. Noise!
