Dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad I've said this to my specialists. All right. Now, let's see. I'm looking at a list of things. Yeah, I want to talk to you about some of this stuff. What did you think of Joe Coy on Golden Globes? I wasn't watching it. I didn't watch it.
Starting point is 00:01:56 I watched some of it. I was doing a couple of shows in Solana Beach. As usual, they put him in a situation where it's almost impossible for him. You know what I mean? He did a fine job. I don't know why people are critical of it. Well, I'll tell you the way I'll tell you the way it works in our society. Look how they
Starting point is 00:02:15 have it set up. It's just so like... We live in a kind of thumbs up thumbs down society. We don't really have thumbs in the middle. And that's the new world order. We have to go all in on great or all in our bad. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:02:30 So there's, he, that's a problem because yeah, it was fine. You know what I mean? But the problem is, is people have to,
Starting point is 00:02:37 people do, it's, it's all, the grades are A's or F's. We don't do the C pluses anymore. We've decided that's not sexy. You know what I mean? So we need to kind of go-
Starting point is 00:02:50 It's not press worthy. It's not press worthy. An A is press worthy, an F is press worthy, but a B minus C plus is not really press worthy. And so those are the times we're living in. Now I got your compliment as well. Oh, wow. Wonderful you get to that.
Starting point is 00:03:12 We can also – there was also great – I don't know if Emmy saw it. You can look it up. It's not on the list, but it reminded me. I wanted to play it for you. It was Vivek ramaswamy who i now enjoy a lot me too he puts everyone in the fucking place and he does what they have to he's he's asked to condemn white racism or whatever white supremacy white supremacy he goes who are you who are you working for washington post perfect fires fires back, it's about 90 seconds, but well executed.
Starting point is 00:03:45 But this is the game. What people do not realize with these people is the game is we get every NFL stadium in the league to write end racism in the end zone. end racism in the end zone. And then all the millions of people watching think, well, there then must be a problem with racism because we need to end it. And it's a big enough problem that it's in every end zone. By the way, if you said end malaria, then millions of people would go,
Starting point is 00:04:21 geez, there must be a situation going on out here. Uh-oh, there's a mosquito in the den. You know what I mean? Like, that's the game. The game is they put it everywhere, and then we go, hey, knock it off. And they go, what do you mean? It's a big problem. Look, it's in the end zone.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Yeah. And then they do, what they do is they ask every politician, in this case a guy named Vivek Ramaswamy, the most ethnic person on the planet. They then go, I want you to condemn white supremacy, which is all part of the game. Which, by the way, it's all supplication before moi. Yes. Before me, the press. Yeah. Hey, bitch, do we really need to satisfy your requirements? Number one. Number two, you don't have to condemn anything you don't participate in. Do you know what I mean? Yes. You don't, I don't have to explain why I'm not a wife beater. I don't beat my wife. I don't have to explain it.
Starting point is 00:05:26 You know what I mean? And then what they do is they attach white supremacy to everyone's name. Oh, he condemned it. Or he refused to condemn it. Right. The people that refuse to condemn it, refuse to condemn it because they don't want to play your retarded game. They don't want to dance for the retarded piper.
Starting point is 00:05:46 You know what I'm saying? And it's the only thing that's going to wrestle it back are these answers. I mean, we have presidential debates. You know, there's two elderly gentlemen up on stage and some fucking 35-year-old chick is yelling at them, will you condemn white children? old chick is yelling at them, will you condemn white supremacy? Okay, so the deal is if you talk about it enough,
Starting point is 00:06:08 then people will assume it exists and they will have a nation divided. This is the game. God, it's insidious. Are we going to play this? Because there's something that follows on to this I don't know if you're aware of that's heinous. Heinous.
Starting point is 00:06:25 I'm not going to recite some catechism for you. I'm against vicious racial discrimination in this country. So I'm not pledging allegiance to your new religion of modern wokeism, which actually fits the test. I'm not going to bend the knee to your religion. I'm sorry. I'm not asking you to bend the knee to mine, and I'm not going to bend the knee to yours.
Starting point is 00:06:40 But do I condemn vicious racial discrimination? Yes, I do. Am I going to play your silly game of gotcha? No, I'm not. And frankly, this is why people have lost trust. And I know you're going to go print the headline tomorrow. I already know this. We already know how your game works. Vivek Ramaswamy refuses to condemn white supremacy because you asked a stupid question. The reality is I condemn vicious racial discrimination in this country. But the kind of vicious and systematic racial discrimination we see today is discrimination on the basis of race in a very different direction. You want to know what the best way is to end discrimination on the basis of race? Stop discriminating on the basis of race. Do that,
Starting point is 00:07:13 and we're going to move this country forward. And I don't care whether you're black or white or brown or anything in between. That's how we're going to unite this country. You people have been responsible for dividing this country to a breaking point, creating a projection of national division. I meet people from the south side of Chicago to meetings like this one of every shade of melanin, multiple from man to woman, doesn't make a difference, who are hungry for reviving unity in this country. And you with your catechism that you try to get this politicians to whatever fake headline you're going to print on the basis of this conversation tomorrow. That's what's dividing this country to a breaking point. Shame on you.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Look people in the eye and tell them what you've actually failed to tell them for the last five years. Own the accountability for your own failures as the media. That's how we rebuild trust in this country. And until then, I don't have a lot of patience to play the games. So then? Yeah. She immediately tweeted? And then there was a headline next day,
Starting point is 00:08:06 Ravik from Swami refuses to condemn white supremacy. Yeah, I don't know. Of course. It's just so heinous. That's heinous. It's not. Disgusting. I kind of disagree.
Starting point is 00:08:17 At this point, we have handed them a shovel, and they're just digging their own grave. Nobody listens to them anymore. We're done. If that's we're done that's true if that's true no they cried wolf so many times in a row that people are just done and over it and starting and what you're getting is pushback yeah and and it's that she did it that that well she did exactly what he said they the hubris mixed with a sort of bizarre calculation is 100 fine with them they don't they don't see it meaning they could they can be engaging in the behavior that they're trying to criminalize all at the same time, and they don't care. That's just how it goes with them.
Starting point is 00:09:12 They don't – they can't see their own reflection. Like, they don't realize what it sounds like. But they've done it so – They must get some sort of – I don't know. They've gone to that playbook so many times they've worn it through. And Vivek and others have figured it out and nobody's listening anymore. You called someone a racist anymore. This doesn't just doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:09:34 So good on Vivek for for answering the question that way. But you are right. And then I told you i told you this um that's all biden's gonna run on is fake racism it's the well threat to democracy well no yeah threat to democracy i'm sorry threat to democracy and i'm going to black churches yeah and talking about but also it's there's nothing new you have to think about it. I was just listening to a podcast today and I was reminded. That whole speech from 2012 when he was in front of the black church.
Starting point is 00:10:21 First off, there's endless footage of these guys pandering to blacks and making themselves look like assholes in the process, putting on an affectation, talking about, I spent more time as a youth in Delaware in the black church than I did at school. You did? You spent? Why?
Starting point is 00:10:42 What, when you were 14? What were you doing in the black church all day? You know what I mean? But you're speaking in front of the Jews, and you say you spent the time in the synagogue. You know what I mean? See that tunnel thing with the Jews? I'm trying to figure out what that was in Brooklyn. Do you see that story?
Starting point is 00:10:57 They're just blocking Palestinians? No, no. There's giant tunnels uncovered under a synagogue in Brooklyn. Oh. And they were pulling guys out of it. They were going to cement it over. It was the most oddest story. So in 2012, when Joe Biden gave the horribly insulting,
Starting point is 00:11:15 and again, listen, sorry, blacks, this is on you. If you're going to listen to a parade of old white guys pretend like they're in your tribe over and over again with no fucking results and you just keep voting for them because you like what they're saying to you even though nothing ever comes out the other end eventually that's on you black community you should be insulted when they come to your church and start speaking in your vernacular you know know what I'm saying? Talk about appropriation, boy.
Starting point is 00:11:47 So in 2012 when he goes, he's going to unleash Wall Street. He's going to take the chains off Wall Street. He's going to put you all back in chains. You're talking about Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney, the Mormon. The Mormon millionaire who's basically more of a Democrat than he is a Republican. Mitt Romney and his 28 blonde grandchildren are going to put the black community. Mitt Romney, Mitt Romney is going to put you back in chains.
Starting point is 00:12:19 OK, why do I say that? It doesn't matter. Sounds like a South Park episode. It doesn't matter whether he's running against Mitt Romney or Donald Trump. It's the same thing. Hey, blacks, these Republicans are going to put you back in chains. I mean, people don't even know who the Klan was, the Democratic Party. I mean, they don't even know their history.
Starting point is 00:12:43 But the whole point is this. Obviously, he's full of shit. It's all January 6th talk and some put you back in chains talk and then there's no recipe for the country. It's just January 6th, January 6th, January 6th.
Starting point is 00:13:00 We're talking about an event that's three years old. I'd like to talk about the economy, but it's sad, really. Do you have any thoughts on Nikki Haley the other night? I'll tell you about that in a second. But it is – first off, it's embarrassing. These guys should be embarrassed. I'm going to go to the black church and then tell them all about freedom and then do nothing for them. But because you can't.
Starting point is 00:13:25 But here's how you know. Here's how you know there's no interest in actually solving the problems that may face one community or the next. So if you go, what is like if you just sat down with smart people and you said, sat down with smart people and you said, what is the biggest problem that plagues the black community? It would be absentee fathers. That would be the number one. And then after that, you would get to some educational stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:03 And after that, at some point, if you really wanted to break it down, it wouldn't be rogue cops shooting unarmed black men. Statistically, the most impactful thing you could do would be address the 70% out of wedlock childbirth. That would be if you wanted to help. Okay. What is the only subject that never comes up? The most important subject. Drew always stops talking when I talk black. I'm listening.
Starting point is 00:14:28 I know you do that every time. You don't even know you go silent. I just say black three times in a row and you literally stop communicating, which you've been trained to do. You've been coached up by society. I'm a good student. Yes, you've been. This is what they do.
Starting point is 00:14:42 They get smart people to shut up. Black parents, black dads not being present is the number one problem, and it's never addressed by all the people that are trying to help the black community. Just like Gavin Newsom wants to help the homeless community, and he doesn't want to talk about drugs, and he doesn't want to talk about mental illness, he wants to talk about moms who have full-time jobs and two kids. Okay. That means you are not addressing the problem.
Starting point is 00:15:09 And that means you have no interest in fixing the problem. So the reason, other than being properly trained, that I was quiet was I was thinking. And what I was thinking was, wow. You say that every time. Do I? It's only on this subject you zip it. I say I'm thinking and that's why I was quiet? Yes, I'm listening. That's interesting. No, no, I wasn't listening. I only on this subject do you zip it i i say i say i'm thinking and that's why i'm listening that's interesting oh no no i wasn't listening i was
Starting point is 00:15:28 thinking what do you say about listening could i could have said for sure uh because i i had a thought that i was wrestling with which was that how how would we do that now that 50 of all children are born on a wedlock how do we now deal deal with that? What do we do? It's a problem. It's a big problem. Do we just, and maybe that's the opportunity, which is to go family destruction in this country is a major issue. It's affecting certain groups disproportionately, but it's now everybody.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Yeah. It's everybody. That would have some, I would think, some destruction. If you went and got a chart and just went, who has the most out-of-wedlock births, and then who earns the least or the most, it's straight across the board. It's all commensurate.
Starting point is 00:16:15 In other words, right, right, right. The lowest out-of-wedlock make the most. The most out-of-wedlock make the least. And then they'll just go in order. And by the way, white people they'll just go in order. And by the way, white people are not at the top of the list. There's a lower, you know, Asian and Jewish, you know, they do less out of wedlock and make more.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Okay, look at the chart and then act accordingly. If economic solutions are what you want, you can also look at mental health and stuff too. If you'd like to remedy whatever thing you've been talking about non-stop for 20 years. Tom, is marriage and fucking families have been under assault for 50 years and marriage particularly now is really under assault.
Starting point is 00:16:55 We decided we didn't need males in the house. All right. Let's talk about our friends at BetterHelp. This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. New Year's we focus on how to change instead of expanding what we're already doing right. I think the opposite of New Year, new you. Therapy helps you find strengths and build upon them, and then by make changes that will stick, that will stay with you. And why not build off your growth, off your strengths?
Starting point is 00:17:23 And, of course, I'm a big fan of therapy. I'm a big fan of BetterHelp. I've sent family, friends, patients. I've been pleased with the services they provide. And, you know, we live in a time when we should be accessing things. There's no reason for stigma because it's all online. You're not going to walk. You're not going to run into somebody in a waiting room or anything.
Starting point is 00:17:40 No longer any excuses. If you're thinking of giving therapy a try, try BetterHelp. It's entirely online, convenient, flexible. Just fill out a brief questionnaire, get matched with a licensed therapist, switch therapists anytime for no additional charge. Right, Emmy? That's right. Celebrate the progress you've already made.

So we have that back in chains. Now, again, Mitt Romney, the most docile, middle-of-the-road, hates Trump. He's really Republican by name only. I mean, he's really quite progressive. The rhino, right? So they call him the rhino.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Yeah. I think Mitt Romney just wants to be liked. I think he's got tons of dough. And he's just like, I just want to be liked. But not according to Joe Biden. Here's what
Starting point is 00:18:38 Mitt Romney's going to do. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they're proposing. Romney wants to let the... he said in the first hundred days, he's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules. Unchain Wall Street. They're going to put you all back in chains. I'm just talking about Mitt Romney.
Starting point is 00:19:03 And by the way. But here's the plan. Everyone who disagrees with these are racist i'll just tell black people this and black people shame on you you buy it every fucking time it's in your it's insane it's like a mental illness and that is biden campaigning for barack obama probably the second go-around i imagine judging by his agent how dare anybody say he's lost a step how could you see the difference between then and now there's no difference yeah what's wrong with you people oh my god you can't even it's hard to believe it's the same person the the greatest the truest thing trump ever said and of course everyone always goes nuts he goes and black people vote for me what do you got got to lose? And everyone's like, what? It's like, yeah, what do you have to lose?
Starting point is 00:19:46 You got 50 years of nothing. What do you got to lose? Really? Yeah. So anyway, don't worry. Biden's out there stirring the racial pot and talking about January 6th. Awesome. Almost losing this democracy.
Starting point is 00:20:00 This close, Drew. Did you feel it? Remember for the hour and 45 minutes of elderly people wandering the halls there with no weapons? Remember how close we were to losing democracy? First off, I don't know how these people do shit with a straight face. Okay, can I say this? If we got close to losing a democracy, then our democracy is really porous. No, no. We better put something in place to make sure that we safeguard against how porous it is. Yeah, you had several hundred unarmed. The thing, too, is like Biden is like, oh, man, I'll tell you the scary part is the like political prisoner part like when he does his speech he's like over a thousand people arrested 900 put in jail a combined seven years 700,000 years ago like yeah because you guys had to make a case
Starting point is 00:20:57 you're you're you're bragging about the statistics of how many years have been sentenced to people who weren't insurrectionists, who didn't have a weapon and didn't pose a threat. Well, and the court sort of got it right, right? It was all mayhem and trespassing and mistreating government property and the stuff they did do. The court got it right in what they charge them for, but the fact that these people were doing real time, the lion's share of them is insane because that's government at its scariest. Government at its scariest is there's this thing that happened, and it was kind of a mob meets riot meets a sightseeing tour. There were no weapons and nobody died, except for the one person that got shot in the face. But that was by the good side. So we're not really going to. And that guy was black.
Starting point is 00:21:57 So we're not going to get into that. But we don't have a lot. We can't really call this an insurrection because it just doesn't fit an insurrection, the definition of an insurrection. But anyway, here's government at their worst. We're going to call it an insurrection and we're going to make it into an insurrection and we're going to edit it to turn it into an insurrection. That's part one, because we need the narrative. that's part one because we need the narrative unfortunately part two is we're going to have to lock up a lot of people for things that weren't really dangerous or any anywhere beyond what we had with the summer of rioting we could have locked up half the population of Portland for
Starting point is 00:22:39 doing the same thing but we didn't do anything to them. So, but sorry, elderly American with no criminal history, you're going to have to spend three years in the hole because we need to create a thing that didn't really happen. And it's not going to work if we don't have a lot of prosecutions. So what we're going to do is we're going to do that. Again, Americans are going to have to be locked up by their government. But we need to do it so we can create a thing that didn't exist. And then we're going to call back to that thing that didn't exist that we created on the campaign trail. And then we'll just keep doing that. And the good news is we have dolts at CNN and MSNBC and the LA Times and Michael Cohen and other like-minded fucksticks that will just repeat all this because we gave them a playbook. I don't remember there ever being in this country – I'm sure – I guess it's happened.
Starting point is 00:23:38 But the propaganda and brainwashing is – and it's all kind of since COVID really, maybe since Trump. But COVID is where it really got going. It's of an extraordinary degree and people don't seem to get that that's what's going on. At least a lot of people don't. I don't know. I mean, look, you're then we're going to like parade a bunch of guys up, put them in full dress blues, Capitol Hill police guys, just to cry while they're being questioned by Congress and explain how they will never be right. And then another thing is,
Starting point is 00:24:20 is if one of the Capitol Hill police people, if any of them kill themselves nine months on, we're just going to put that on the body count. Cops kill themselves all the time, by the way. So we're going to do everything we can do and then we'll just start making up shit. Officer Sicknick was
Starting point is 00:24:37 killed with a fire extinguisher, bludgeoned to death. And then they go, well, maybe he wasn't. And then they go, people forget about that one. They downgraded it to bear spray. They're go, well, maybe he wasn't. And then they go, people forget about that one. They downgraded it to bear spray. They're like, well, then he was killed by bear spray. And then they're like, no, he died in his office
Starting point is 00:24:54 of a stroke, not during the riots. And then they go, all right, well, we're still going to count that. That's how they were. So, first off, I say this all you all time if something really happened you have to pad it 9-11 does anyone pad 9-11 it's like you know 3,984 souls or that but do we do we pad the number right if nobody died 9-11, would we pad it?
Starting point is 00:25:28 Why do you have to pad an insurrection? Why do you have to add to an insurrection? Unfortunately, all this stuff is creating these wild distrust and conspiracies, and they flare up, and they're just, oh, my God. I'm just saying. It's hard to listen to. Joe Biden is pathetic. just, oh my God. I'm just saying. It's hard to listen to. Joe Biden is, he's pathetic. Like it's sad. Like he's just going to tour around and talk about January 6th.
Starting point is 00:25:54 That's the plan. When are you going to tell me this thing that's going to make me feel good? Right now. All right. Because I feel pretty bad right now. Right now. But first. No, they don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Now, the boys in the booth, they don't know who Jackie Coogan is. The kid. Is that the kid? He was Charlie Chaplin's like. In The Kid. In The Kid. Yeah. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Jackie Coogan was a famous child actor. And is he also Uncle Fester? Yes. And he was responsible for child labor laws. Yes. The Coogan law for film is the kid needs to get paid and the parents can't spend the money or whatever it is. He didn't get compensated or he did
Starting point is 00:26:39 and his parents just mowed through his money when he was nine years old. Right, right. And they made a law saying no more. There he is. It's a famous, famous film. But Uncle Fester, he was the original on television. Yeah, but he also –
Starting point is 00:26:52 Show us the Adams family. He also popped up – no, don't show us the Adams. Drew, let me do this. All right, go ahead. He popped up as the grandparent on the Partridge family. Oh, no shit. Ray Bolger was the old grandpa. Wow. as the grandparent on the Partridge family. Oh, no shit. Ray Bolger was the old grandpa.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Wow. But they got rid of him and they got the new grandpa, which could have been from the other side of the family, except for they had the same grandma. Hold on, slow down. So Ray Bolger was the scarecrow in Wizard of Oz, saw him on Love Boat in an episode. You see that too?
Starting point is 00:27:30 Where he was insufferable, by the way. But okay, so now he's on Partridge Family. So these guys made the rounds. Yes, and Jackie Coogan. All right, now we can look at a picture of Jackie Coogan from the Partridge Family. Balding, sort of flabby. I mean, he looks bad.
Starting point is 00:27:51 And this is post-Adams family, too. Yes. Yeah. All right. I did some math here, Drew. And this was going to make you feel good about yourself. Jackie Coogan in that picture in the Partridge family looked like just an old weathered fat old man is my age, 60 years old. He was born in 1914.
Starting point is 00:28:21 And the Partridge family episode he's from is from 74. So he's 60. Exactly. He's five years younger than you. Wow. I feel good. Does that seem insane? Guys, Emmy, does it seem insane?
Starting point is 00:28:34 I told, and by the way. I can never get over that. I told, I, every time Drew goes, cigarettes and booze, cigarettes and booze, cigarettes, it's not, it can't be everyone. It was just a thing. It was be everyone. It was just a thing. It was a thing. It was also a thing. But also you had to be 60.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Yeah. That was your, just like when you were 14, you were 14, but 60, you were 60. Ray Bolger, when he was the grandpa, grew the sideburns out, tried to be a hippie, and joined the band. Because that was the generation gap. Remember those jokes? He wanted to join in. It was a thing. The generation gap. They can't understand
Starting point is 00:29:13 those young kids. Hey, the same shit comes up today. Oh, no, I know. What I'm saying to everybody is whether it's the generation gap and what these kids, these kids know the answers. The old people don't know the answers. Whether it's that or the environment. You know what's interesting?
Starting point is 00:29:33 Hold on. What I'm trying to tell all you idiots is that's all we do. That's all we do is recycle ideas from the thing. Look, we used to call it ecology. Now we call it global warming. It used to be global freezing. I was a big ecology guy. I was way into acid rain.
Starting point is 00:29:53 We just mow right through these things and find a new thing to argue about. Well, it's one of the reasons I'm skeptical about some of the stuff today because I was so convinced based on the science of what was going on and that we were, A, going to run out of oil in the 80s for sure, just did the math. B, acid rain was going to destroy what agriculture we had. And three, famine was inevitable, inevitable. And we could not use the, we called them phosphates and anti-insect stuff because it was destroying the rivers and the lakes. And that was going to be our next crisis. That was it. I came home and preached about that from New England.
Starting point is 00:30:36 So wrong. I was just, I was depressed because like I was always loved cars. And so obviously when I was 10, you know, I was fantasizing about what kind of cool car, Mustang or something, a Corvette. I wanted a cool car and I was completely convinced that we're just going to be out of gasoline by the time I'm 20. So what the fuck? How's that even going to work? Yeah. That was guaranteed. It was guaranteed.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Yeah. There was no way to avoid that. It was impossible. Just do the math. What's the science? You're running in the face of MIT geophysicists. How dare you? And Leonard Nimoy specials. You know what's interesting? Is that generation gap,
Starting point is 00:31:22 when that term comes up, if history is any lesson, it's when the younger generation has the most bad ideas. Yes. That you and I were the purveyors of terrible ideas in the 70s and 60s, the worst, and then complained that the older generation didn't understand them. Yeah, I didn't really have much of a phase because I was sort of a jock and I didn't go to college. But I'm sure you celebrated the same – same music, same everything. Well, no, I lived with my dumbo hippie mom. And so I thought red meat was bad for you because that's all she said over and over again.
Starting point is 00:31:58 And I definitely got drawn. I thought we'd be out of fuel, that there'd be an ice age. I didn't talk about it much. But you and I celebrated the same music and the same glorification of raping 14 year olds that all the songs were about in that era. I mean, come on.
