I forgot to tell you all this story about when I was in New Mexico, actually.
Now that I mention it.
I don't know why I forgot about this.
You had asked me how the trip went, and this totally spaced my mind.
You were like, oh, it's fine.
Sorry.
Letting it down.
I fucking, I lost my wallet when I was there.
Oh, great.
I was like, I have no idea where the fuck.
I mean, it could have been anywhere.
And that day we were supposed to drive down to Carlsbad, to the Guadalupe Mountains.
And I couldn't find it.
And then someone texts me a photo, like a screenshot photo of my license on facebook what someone had found it like on the
side of the road and like posted it to facebook and so like i was viral on hobbs twitter for like
once every three years yep and everybody was, all my friends were texting me like this.
Oh, my God.
Like, a little too many Long Island iced teas last night.
I love that.
Wait, couldn't they just search your name on Facebook?
Also terrifying.
I guess maybe.
Yeah, it literally doxxed.
Put in your whole ass.
They luckily just put the photo in my name.
So they didn't doxx me.
They were actually really nice.
Wow.
They were totally chill about it.
But yeah, it was pretty funny because it's like my dumb ass face.
Like in my license photo.
Of all the photos you don't want to go viral.
It's that picture you have on the Trill Billings Instagram.
It's like, have you seen this man?
It was. It was like that meme. have you seen this man? It was.
It was like that meme.
Have you seen this man?
It was literally.
What I love is that you tried to just, you know, dip your toe back into home, maybe not
tell everybody you're in town, have a low profile.
No, no.
Not this trip.
Oh, that is hilarious.
Just blasted you in town.
I tried sliding it out. No luck. You just told someone, no, I didn Not this tree. Oh, that is hilarious. Just blasted you into it. I tried sliding it out.
No luck.
You just told someone, no, I didn't make it.
Damn, Brian, seen you in years.
You ain't hollering at me?
That's what happened, literally.
Yeah.
It's pretty fucked up.
Wow.
Yeah, I was like, how did I forget that?
I love that story because it makes me look like a total fucking dumbass.
Oh, shit.
Well, the shit on the shelf out there.
Yes, it's to ward off a raccoon.
Okay.
So who told you that Irish Spring and Orange Pills wards off raccoon act?
I don't know, dude.
I just saw something online.
I've been Googling it all week.
I'm with you.
I got cinnamon everywhere trying to get rid of fucking ants.
I have so many ants in my house.
It is sick.
I got fruit flies.
I'm saying.
I think raccoons kind of trump it because I'm worried about this.
Fruit flies don't carry rabies.
They could start a family.
They started a family in your house?
They could.
I could come home to them.
Have moved in.
They could take over this cabin.
You don't live here anymore.
Ants are taking over now.
We think we like the place.
We think we'll take it.
Well, didn't you decide, raccoons, who ate all your edibles?
The Whig.
Who ate all your Whigs?
Oh, my God.
They've been going into the highways and the byways and saying, listen, there's this place up on the hill, and if you go in there.
Find the chocolate.
There's raccoons that think they've seen God.
You know what I mean?
Just kind of like us.
You know what I mean?
Sleeping prophets.
Yeah.
Yep.
Truly.
Yeah.
I mean, but they keep coming back, so they obviously liked it.
So they're coming in through the cat door.
They're coming in through the fucking cat door.
I came down the other night at like 3 a.m., and one was just literally eating out of the
cat bag.
What?
He looked at me like, what's up?
Honestly, I can't believe Leon and Pippi are letting him in here.
They totally were watching it.
They just, Pippi was laying on the back of the cat.
They probably think he is a cat.
She was just hissing at him Mildly
He was just like
When I walked up on your porch
Come on
You stop that
Get out
And they're literally eating their food
They didn't put up a fight
Cats ain't got no
God damn care in the world
They don't.
They really don't.
But I came up on your porch to get that package the other day,
and they were both on the porch looking at me like I was fucking about to try to kill them.
Yeah, there's one of them right there.
Hey, baby.
Hey, poopy butt.
Have you come to apologize?
She said, how dare you use my full government name?
She just wanted to give her account of things.
Oh, yeah. She heard you talking government name? She just wanted to give her a count of things. Oh, yeah.
She heard you talking about her.
She don't appreciate that.
What do you have to say about it, PB?
There was one night, though, when two of them were on the porch.
Raccoons?
Yeah, and, dude, PB's fucking leapt out there.
It was like a Doberman.
She really did fuck go after them.
Did they run away?
Yeah, they fucking scattered.
Wow.
You're going to come home thinking them oranges.
That one's going to be like scrubbing under a pit.
That one's going to be eating them orange slices.
Thanks, bro.
Just flipping me off.
Yeah.
Putting snacks out for us.
Oh, classic.
You think Irish spring and orange peels wore us off, do you?
This sucks because you've already had rat issues, like mice.
I know.
Not good.
That's the thing about life.
There's always something fucked up.
Like whether it's your car.
I know. Anytime everything's good you're just waiting on the shoe to drop.
Listen, as a human being
it is a shitty lot. Think about this.
The Bible says that
David was the apple of God's eye.
And even he like killed his best friend to fuck his wife.
Wow.
We're just fucked up.
Every one of us fucked up.
We ain't right.
That's true.
Yeah,
no,
I mean,
yeah,
it's when it's good,
you have to enjoy it because it will get bad again.
Oh,
well,
yeah, well, it just like because it will get bad again. Oh, well, yeah.
Well, it.
Just like this COVID thing.
I know.
I had one fucking adventure.
I mean, my trip out west was literally half of it was hell.
Just fucking drive across the country.
And we were masked up.
My birthday is like one bright spot.
And as soon as i come back there's
like covid scares i'm having to wear a mask again i'm terrified i've got covid and i felt so guilty
just for spending two days in pigeon four you have come down from heaven i literally have truly
just crashed down from heaven luckily everybody uh everybody tested negative. But, god damn.
These are spooky times.
Truly.
Back with a vengeance.
We knew it was coming.
We knew it was coming.
Well, it's bad.
I mean, Letcher County's numbers are like...
We're in the red again.
We've got more cases than we do vaccines right now.
What do you mean?
More cases than vaccines available?
No, we had more people get COVID this past week than we had people get vaccines.
So, I mean, I don't...
I heard there were like 60 people with COVID in the hospital.
That can't be right.
Yeah, here. That's probably right. I don't know. Surely not. This Delta thing is fucked up. there were like 60 people with covet in the hospital that can't be right yeah here probably
right i don't know surely not this delta thing is fucked up here's the thing about the vaccination
like look if you want to fucking chance it whatever whatever that's like that's like
your business right the problem is is that what they don't understand is the communal aspect is
like when you get all these people fucking sick with covid you have fewer hospital beds for stroke
patients heart patients whatever whatever and that creates like collapse of the medical system and
let's be honest our medical system's already fraught to begin with yeah it was already under Under optimal circumstances. Truly. Not to drag us back into meds talk,
but I'm finding out that I'm having to jump through a ton more hoops for meds
because of opioid shit here.
Like, I had to sign a bunch of opioid waivers to get ADHD meds, to get stimulants.
Yeah.
They made Tom do the same thing.
Well, they quit.
They wouldn't give me Xanax anymore.
I know.
Which is a very dangerous thing to do, just abruptly take somebody off Xanax.
Yeah.
I mean, it's unethical.
Yeah.
But, yeah, I had to do lab work.
I had to get blood taken and do lab work.
I had to do a piss test, which I told them, I smoke a I had to do a piss test which I told them I smoke a ton of weed
I'm not prepared to quit smoking weed
Some things I can't do
That's not happening
That's just not possible for me at this time
And she was like oh I don't care about weed
It's just to make sure you're not on other opioids
I went to the doctor
Last summer
And they had like a drug counselor there.
And because in intake, they ask if you take any drugs or whatever.
I always tell them.
I tell my doctor.
I mean, I'm like, yes, I smoke weed.
I'm too old and ill to hide my drug use.
So I told them, yeah, I smoke weed.
And this woman came back there, and you could tell she was very much did not want to do it.
She was like, I have to do this. But, like, do you think you're – she was very much did not want to do it she was like i have to do
this but like do you think you're she read off me a bunch of questions like do you think your use is
out of control can you stop anytime you want no no i cannot actually no i'm addicted to marijuana
any response to any response to can you stop anytime you want
Is going to make you sound bad
You're right
If I say no
Then I'm an unrepentant reprobate
If I say yes then I sound like
The typical response
There is no answer to that question
That won't make you sound bad
I don't know I haven't tried
Who's to say, really?
I had to get blood work, a piss test, and I had to put my signature on 30 lines.
Like, 30 statements.
Had to put my initials.
And friends, even in Louisville, are like, I don't have to do any of that.
And I'm going to have to get pee tested every three months.
That's fucked up.
To make sure, one, that I do have it in my system and I'm not have to get p-tested every three months that's fucked up to make sure one
that i do have it in my system and i'm not selling it i guess to two that i don't have anything else
that's the brave new world shit man isn't that crazy yeah i almost prefer a you know a sort of
you know dare we say a continental system where you just go in the pharmacy and they just give
you whatever you want yeah i mean i literally have contemplated going to mexico just to stock up on
albuterol inhalers yeah because they're so expensive very expensive oh it is and you they
you can get them for five bucks a pop as many as you want in a mexican pharmacy oh and it's the same quality drugs which you like when you see
um a drug it comes to market or something like that and like in america it's like you know a
hundred thousand two hundred thousand dollars go figure out where the countries are usually india
and a handful of others egypt i know is usually one that they've
like already let them go to generics right off the top and like you can go get the same treatment for
like pennies on that like yeah five thousand bucks yeah and those are the same countries who
same drugs but in america we make it sound like those drugs are like well you never know what's
in those and it's like It's the same fucking shit.
You know what I mean?
I mean, it sucks. Right now, I have three different
doctors who need to be communicating
with each other. None of them are.
You know what I mean?
I tell them all, this doesn't make any
sense.
You need that concierge medicine like Brad Pitt
and the company have. Yeah, I want my doctors
to be talking to each other.
This is rude.
Yeah.
I've had the same doctor for 10 years.
I love her.
I told her, I was like, every time I think about moving out of Whitesburg, I worry that
my biggest worry is you, losing you.
My doctor.
Kitty Gish went to Virginia on me and Terrence.
Well, my doctor here told me that she could see me in another state.
Really?
Oh, like telehealth?
Yeah. Yeah. Huh. I mean, eventually, though, you have to have a real life. here told me that she could see me in another state really oh like telehealth yeah yeah
huh i mean eventually though you have to have a real life you have to see somebody in person
surely though right my last physical i got was i think 2019 and then since then it's like anytime
anything happens i'm just like i just call teledoc and it's like okay here's z-pack well even in a
good luck right the behavioral like well i guess two of my doctors are communicating because she teledoc and was like, okay, here's CPAC. Good luck.
The behavioral, well, I guess two of my doctors are communicating because
my nurse practitioner wouldn't prescribe.
She wouldn't do it, even though she could.
She was like, you have to see a behavioral
person. I was like, why?
I said, why? You've known me for 10 years. I have a therapist.
I have a diagnosis. You've known me for 10 years.
You know I've got a good
head on my shoulders.
As soon as I told her, she said, oh yeah, that makes. You know I've got a good head on my shoulders. They did that to me too, yeah.
Well, as soon as I told her, she said, oh, yeah, that makes sense.
When I told her, I was like, listen, I've been exploring ADHD diagnosis with my therapist.
She said, oh, yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
I've known her for 10 years.
She never said anything like that to me.
Yeah. I was like, okay, well, that would have been nice to know, you know, maybe before now.
Sometime, anytime.
Interesting.
Would have been great.
This is the doctor you want to take with you yeah i know hey it's ty it sounds a little bit like stockholm
but it's already so bad it's so stupid it's like anybody you find at this point is probably
you have to catch them back up. Who even knows
if they're good
or... Yeah, exactly.
I've just had so many bad experiences with doctors.
I'd just rather ride out the devil I know.
I do like her. She's great.
But she will put you on a prayer list.
Which I kind of like. She tells me, I'm praying for you.
I had your bets. Have you told her
that you'll put her on whatever y'all do?
I don't have a list. I could start a list. What's her on whatever y'all do? I don't have a list. I could.
I could start a list. What's the circle thing y'all do?
Candle circle?
You tell her you'll put her
in the candle circle?
I don't know.
I don't know what you're doing.
I'm going to start telling people that.
We'll put you in the stands.
In my faith, we do
things a little differently, But I'll return the favor
I say I'll light a candle for you
I do light candles for people at my house
That's special and that can be interpreted any way
Exactly I don't say I pray for you
I'm not praying
I don't pray for nobody
But I will light a candle for people
I'll make an offering for you
People probably said that 2000 years ago
I'll send you good energy
We'll slaughter a lamb for you I'll slaughter a lamb for you when People probably said that 2,000 years ago. I'll send you good energy. We'll slaughter a lamb for you.
I'll slaughter a lamb for you when I get home, buddy.
We're thinking about you.
We're thinking about you.
Cut her wide open.
I'm going to bleed her out just for you.
Just for you, buddy.
Hey, we're going to believe this thing's going to pass.
No, I keep a candle going for my damn self.
But yeah, I don't mind being on a prayer list.
Listen, I'm really into the idea of just You know, just like casual religion
Just dabbling
Being a tourist almost
What's the fucking worst that can happen?
They're all the same
It's all so intertwined
I don't know
I used to think that too, more or less the same
But there's some
Different stuff out there, I'll tell you that
You speak like a man who's recently done a tour of the spiritual buses.
I have done that.
I have.
Have you been on a spiritual tour bus, Tom?
Of a kind, yeah.
Anything good?
Anything we should be looking into?
I'll tell you this.
Now I was into it.
Now I think it's sus.
Interesting.
But did it work for you?
That's the thing.
You have to ask if it worked for you.
Yeah, it did.
I was really into TM and then Subliminal G.
I ruined it for me.
I was like, well, fuck.
Maybe they're programming me.
Transcendental meditation.
Meditation.
I mean, well, tell us about it.
Where did it start and who's behind it?
What does it make you do exactly?
Isn't there a whole transcendental meditation community in Bow, North Carolina?
There probably is.
That sounds right.
That sounds exactly right.
I lived there for a brief time.
That sounds right.
Well, you know, what I liked about it was it kind of takes you to,
it does kind of take you to a level of consciousness that you've probably not experienced too often.
It's kind of, it feels like you're taking a nap, but you're wide awake.
You know what I mean?
Interesting.
You know, like that restful thing that sets in when you're like falling asleep.
It's like that, you know, but you're like, but your eyes are closed, but you're like fully aware of what's going on where you're at and everything.
Is this solo or assisted?
It's solo.
How is it different than meditation?
Well, you learn a mantra.
Gotcha. All that kind of stuff.
A good old mantra.
Now look,
now that I dabble into it and listen
to this subliminal jihad,
it's sus. It's like,
it's, well, also.
Name one thing that's not sus.
Well, I mean, that's true.
But, but, there make some cogent points about this.
My fucking nephew just used the word suspicious to me.
And I was like, well, what's that mean?
He said, like acting weird like you are right now.
Damn.
That's what he said to me.
He read me for feels. We were playing hide and go seek.
And I was helping him try to find his brother, which I already knew where he was.
But I wasn't going to write him out.
And we had looked in all the places.
And he had missed him.
And then he finally stopped.
He said, this is very suspicious.
I said, suspicious?
What's suspicious mean?
He said, weird, like you right now.
It's weird
It's when you're being weird
Developing that paranoid mindset
And he's going to his friends like
My Aunt Tanya's fucking stupid
She doesn't even know what suspicious means
However
I've been teaching him words like amethyst
And quartz
They're really
They're rock boys and I'm getting them into crystals.
I love crystals.
They have a fairy garden
and they collect rocks
and I'm like, this is amethyst.
This is rose quartz.
I love it. Tanya, I'm going to be honest
with you. Listen, they are lucky enough to have
a gay witch ant. They're going to be so cool.
Can you imagine?
Look what Gail did for you.
Look what Gail did for your life.
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
Let me interject and say,
will they be, you know,
probably
more sensitive and
have a lot of good personality qualities?
Yes, but I wouldn't put cool
up there as... It's not
cool for boys to be into crystals.
For boys to be gay. At a certain age.
At a certain age. Now, as you get older,
you get more into it. I concede that.
They have all kinds of these, like, little
mineral kits. Maybe
they'll grow up in a different world than what me and
Terrence grew up in, but
let me tell you something. Nine-year-old Tom
goes and says boys i'm
into crystals and fairy gardens okay the end result not good the fairy garden is not on me
that's their mother they and i have a little they picked out me a fairy to go in the fairy garden
there's an auntie in the fairy garden so i'm there but i don't know nothing else about their
fucking fairy garden i just buy them crystals they love rocks they collect rocks that is something that's very normal so they're into geology they're into geology yes and they
get all these little mining kits that's like yeah exactly it's like we're gonna break open this rock
and i'm like yeah you know what's in a rock crystals this is this is just your nephews are
either going to grow up to be like adam sandler on uncut gems strip miners or or yeah they love rocks i think they're i think the most through
line is probably strip mining if there's anything left to strip one when they would come of age but
i'm trying to lead them into the craft i'm not i'm not taking a side here actually i think the
rocks are that's probably a good way to go coward
tell the god damn okay okay okay here's a middle ground maybe don't go with the crystals but maybe
go with like um you love rocks just some rig i like rocks yeah but i like rocks they also have
a pet frog that lives outside they just pick it up Listen, listen
There's two boys, they're ten months apart
One of them says that it's a different frog every time
Those are just different frogs that we catch
Grayson
Grayson, the youngest one, says nope
It's the same frog, he lives here
And I pick him up and pack him around
And he comes back to me
Now what do you think?
They're of different minds
I think the frog thing is
cool. The frog thing is cool. I think that's
okay. That's just the crystals
and the fairy thing as I'm out. It all depends
on how you spin it.
It's not even a masculinity
gay thing either. It's too
Germanic. What?
It's like being in the lawn gnomes
or something. You know what I mean?
You know what comes with that? Getting your ass kicked.
Come on.
There's never been one kid into anything, fairy, gnome, or anything,
that didn't at least pack one ass whipping as a child.
Yeah, they beat the shit out of each other.
They're going to be fine.
They whipped the shit out of each other.
I trust you on this.
I have to take this on faith.
I'm not taking it aside because every time I do, people perceive it be no i mean there's a whole problem well there's a whole problem with
them being they're just they go they are not white and they go to a mostly white school in
real tennessee and they've they literally at one point threatened to suspend a five-year-old
and the school did yes how do you fucking suspend a five-year-old exactly it's just dumb shit
if you suspend a five-year-old you're sending a five-year-old home for being a five-year-old
yeah literally that's the whole thing because he like took somebody's thing and pushed them
down or something it's like okay well yeah that wasn't yeah that wasn't cool but my sister made
him when that happened she made him come home and she said go go get your favorite toy and he went and got his buzz light year and she made him take it to school
give it to that kid we're really on the path towards like punitive solution like we're moving
that window literal chill younger and younger babies yeah yeah yeah we're just like oh okay
five all right at four fucking you know well they're just like they these little these are
little kids but they see them as violent because they're brown these white people do that's all there is to it like there's
no way no way around it it's like these rednecks this there's like oh this boy is violent he pushed
this kid down okay well yesterday somebody pushed him down and nobody was going to be expelled over
it nobody said jesus fuck uh michael home yeah anyway plus the kid's name is t gun g-u-n and i'm like
he just has to be he's just he has the word gun in his name i feel like he's just gonna get a bad
rap so you have to balance it out with crystals and fairies i see all i'm saying is if he comes
home says aunt t i got a winkle bottom for my fairy garden.
I'm going to have to step in.
He loves the crystals.
No, I'm supporting them.
But yeah, he
dropped a suspicious on me and I was like,
what the hell is happening to me?
That's pretty funny.
What is your game here, lady?
This is very suspicious.
What are you what are you
trying to do here like i don't know we can't find your brother what do you want me to do but they
love hide and go seek i mean i just it's not just a dumb game it just seems so dumb and i loved it
when i was a kid love it you loved it too i'm sure you did i'm sure i did the only thing that the only
way you can keep them from playing video games is to play hide and go seek kids love it because
they've grown up in the housing projects we played a different version it to play hide and go seek kids love angles they've grown up in the
housing projects we played a different version it's called hide and go kill we did it was with
a nerf gun and like you when you found them we did too we played that exact game yeah yeah if you
like they had to shoot you before you made it back to home base yeah and the older boys claim
they played a game called hide and go fuck with neighborhood girls
i saw no evidence to believe that was true come on even and more to refute it i guess as an adult
it's just like that's just paintball you just go play you play hide go seek it that's just paintball
we would play a game yeah we would play a game where someone would get on the back porch of our
friend josh's house and he had some trails out back play a game where someone would get on the back porch of our friend Josh's house,
and he had some trails out back of his house, and you would get on a bike and ride your bike across the trails,
and they would just shoot BB guns at you.
Oh my god.
But you'd be wearing a jumpsuit, kind of.
You'd still get hit, but...
A jumpsuit?
Jesus.
Catching a BB in the nuts doesn't sound like a great experience.
That was a version of hide and
go kill yeah yeah we played that for sure yeah they're bound to be little boys did yeah it's
all bound to be graduate to it because they play so many video games where it's just like
it just does not seem age appropriate there's a dark side to that story is that at least four of
the regular participants of hide i can go kill were arrested
and jailed for violent crimes and one murder so i hate to give any point to like the moral
majority people that are like you know whatever is promoting violence or video games or whatever
whatever but uh well i mean it's like we give them toy guns, which is an interesting thing. We give kids toy guns.
I have a friend who doesn't.
She won't buy her son toys.
But I was watching him the other day, and he built a gun.
He's seen guns somewhere.
He built a gun out of Legos and shot me with a Lego gun.
I was like, what the hell?
How did you?
Just like.
Where'd he even know?
You know what I mean?
Like, how'd this happen?
I love that
Nature will find a way
It will find a way
Nature will find a way
That's true
I said what are you doing
He just laughed
I was like are you
What are you doing with that
Those Legos
What's the deal
He knew he couldn't
Say it out loud
He'd be in trouble
Oh god
Oh my god
Ridiculous
That's funny
Pew pew
Fucking Lego gun This country ain't right God. Oh, my God. Ridiculous. That's funny. Pew, pew.
Fucking Lego gun.
This country ain't right.
No.
But we ain't Cuba.
Yeah. At least we're not, you know, have 100% literacy and a robust medical system and all those
other things.
Okay.
Oh, boy.
Have y'all been keeping up with the Olympics?
I was going to ask you about that because
I haven't really, but I've just seen
the headlines and the conservatives are mad about
Simone Biles.
Simone Biles.
Mad that she dropped out.
Yeah, tell us about it.
I mean, I don't know at all. I've been trying to
keep up because I do really like her but um she i think um she messed up one of her
a beam thing or something and she could i mean you know these people are like flipping 50 times
in the air a wrong landing snaps their neck like this is very dangerous and she fucked it fucked
it up um but she she ended up
landing it and so she didn't hurt herself physically too bad but she could have and she
said like this i'm just i'm like mentally not able to continue i fucked this up i can't keep i can't
go on she could fucking kill herself you know then charlie kirk thought he could opine on her, you know, sort of character among other things.
It's like I know Charlie Kirk was one of those guys that like...
Who's that?
He runs this thing called Turning Point TPUSA.
He's often mistaken for Ben Shapiro.
He's just some right wing.
So they're pissed at her for not repping the USA team.
Said she was a weak person
well here's a jesus fuck here's a representative thing this is in the federalist so you know it's
going to be especially bad um sorry simone biles the olympics isn't about you it's about winning
for america fuck america literally by john daniel davidson i always thought the Olympics was supposed to be about competing and winning
for your country.
As an American,
the Olympic games always felt like a unique opportunity to utterly defeat
other countries and prove again and again,
the USA is the greatest country on earth.
These people really just need to grow the fuck up.
It's funny.
Cause on this show,
we,
we very rarely read like right wing agitprop like this.
Honestly, I'd rather do that than read libs.
I'm over lib commentary.
I'm fucking over it.
You're right.
You want to pivot to right-wing agitprop?
Yes, I do.
All right.
Okay.
Let's read this then.
Yes, I do.
I'm so bored.
Apparently, things have changed.
For some U.S. athletes, the Olympics has become all about them.
Simone Biles, the best gymnast in the world.
She spends every waking and sleeping moment preparing to be a gymnast.
Also, let's not forget this. She was kind of the most famous case in that big...
That's what I was about to say. Trigger warning of sexual assault.
But yeah, like, this woman owes the fucking u.s nothing and the
united states gymnastics team in fact she was failed by this country you know what i mean
years one of their doctors was being paid to just like sexually assault girls over and over and over
and over and over and calling it fucking pelvic exams well in the FBI actually, I just saw something this week about how badly the FBI
botched the whole case.
They overlooked it for years.
Well, they...
Or whatever.
They probably went along with it.
Yeah, exactly.
The FBI and the fucking...
Until you realize
the world's run by pedophiles
and you realize
they probably...
Literally, yeah.
Over just one doctor, dude.
They could have just
fired and replaced.
Like, what's the fucking point? And they like hid the u.s gymnastics in particular the whole
organization with the support of the fbi hid all of like hundreds of women hundreds of women spoke
against him in his in in the and that no bells finally came out when the case finally came out it took hundreds that's insane right apparently there's really good documentary about
it but i hate documentaries so i haven't seen it but i might try to watch it athlete a i heard it's
good uh simone biles the best gymnast in the world and the erstwhile star of team usa at the tokyo
olympics abruptly quit on t Tuesday after botching a vault.
Her unexpected withdrawal from the women's team gymnastics final
left her teammates in the lurch.
Some of them had not planned to compete Tuesday,
and they ended up losing the gold to Russia.
Russia.
It does that twice.
It puts Russia twice.
Blame.
With the exclamation point.
Yeah, let's blame Simone Biles for our Um
Superiority complex with Russia
At a press conference afterward
Biles cited vague mental health concerns
As her reason for pulling out
Vague
It's a HIPAA violation
Yeah that's why I should just turn it on
What do you know
What do you deserve to know about her health
I have to focus on my mental health That is a very good point These same fuckers have been yelling about HIPAA They should just turn it on them. What do you know? What do you deserve to know about her health?
I have to focus on my mental health. That is a very good point.
These same fuckers have been yelling about hippo.
Literally.
But think that they can just pry open anybody's medical case history
if they've insulted the red, white, and blue.
Truly.
See, this is why I like the liberal agitprop
more than the right-wing agitprop.
Because with this, it's pointing at the hypocrisy.
Swiss cheese. It doesn't matter. Yeah, it's like pointing at the hypocrisy. Swiss cheese.
It doesn't matter. Yeah it's just us being
like you fucking dumbass.
At a press conference afterward
Biles cited vague mental health concerns
I have to. Oh okay I already read that.
I have to focus on my mental
health and not jeopardize my health and well-being she
said kicking off a flurry of blue check
tweets about how it's so important for athletes
to take care of their mental health. Then Biles said this, the Olympic games, I wanted to, I wanted
it to be for myself when I came in and I felt like I was still doing it for other people. Well, you
were supposed to be doing it for other people. Specifically, you were supposed to be doing it
for your country, for all Americans, not for yourself, or at least not only for yourself.
In fairness, the blame here shouldn't rest solely on Biles.
We as a society have begun conflating mental health
and mental toughness or grit.
Public figures are often rewarded for taking care of their
quote-unquote mental health,
even in the absence of any kind of mental illness.
Biles doesn't suffer from a specific mental illness,
at least not that we know of.
Yeah, because that's HIPAA.
Why does she have to disclose her fucking diagnosis to the federalist?
At least not that we know of.
What she experienced wasn't that.
It was something more common among professional athletes.
She got psyched out.
She wasn't mentally tough when she needed to be.
That's fine.
It happens to LeBron James all the time.
And when it does, you can tell he stops trying
and lets his team lose.
You know what?
Listen, this is such a liberal thing to say.
This is such a liberal ally thing to say,
but it really would be funny
if all the black athletes
just boycotted national sports.
It's like,
then it would go back to the 1940s
of guys that looked like me and Terrence
out there shooting hook shots
and shit.
Between the legs.
Jesus Christ.
They are
obsessed with LeBron.
Well, he's got a new movie out.
But instead of being ashamed
of that or apologizing to her teammates and her countrymen,
Biles seemed to revel in taking care of her quote-unquote mental health.
They want an apology out of this young woman.
They want an apology, yes.
Contrast this mealy-mouthed talk about mental health from Team USA
to what Russian gymnast Angelina Melnikova said after her floor.
Yeah, like a country that famously doesn't have any
problems with abuse in its gymnastics program I mean wasn't that video going around that guy
remember that video going around of that guy like he shakes the gymnast behind the uniform and
slaps what's funny is like that's like uh under the banner of communism when it was the Soviet
Union like like that was like,
like they were terrified
of like the steely,
like Russian.
Yeah.
And now they're fascinated by it.
Now they're like,
they fetishize it.
You're right.
You're exactly right.
Wasn't it Russia
that didn't even get to compete
in Seoul
when the games were in Korea?
Oh, maybe.
Were they on like,
Yeah, they were on
some kind of probation.
No, I think it was abuse.
I can't remember.
So here's what Angelina Melnikova said after she sealed the gold for Russia.
I knew that it was depending on me.
I was feeling overwhelming happiness, and I knew I did it.
I knew I had done my job.
She knew she did her job.
That's the Olympic spirit.
We Americans know that spirit well when carrie strug won the gold
for team usa at the 1996 olympics vaulting on two torn ligaments in her ankle in one of the most
memorable olympic moments ever she later said she did it for her team her country and herself or who
could forget tanya harding's heroics and i don't think she knew that in order for her team to win
she had to pull it together mentally and physically and do the vault.
That she would become a national hero for her grit, she later told a reporter, just seemed, in her words, weird.
To me, it was part of my job to do that vault.
Meanwhile, Team USA announced that Wednesday should be a quote-unquote mental rest day ahead of the all-around women's gymnastics final on thursday the individual
competition no word yet on whether biles's mental health quote-unquote will be recovered enough by
then for her to compete like he keeps putting mental health in quotations quotations right
like it's not real to him i just don't know when or why we disconnected physical health from mental health.
They're not disconnected in any way. It's actually the mind-body.
It's called Cartesian.
Never mind.
That's Terrence's.
For another day.
That's the esophagus.
Okay, sorry.
I just, I mean, that's neither here nor there, but just thinking that someone like Simone Biles owes you any goddamn thing is incredible yeah it's me it's like just amazing like it's like you see these like olympic judges
and some of them like you know like if they bend over to tie their shoes they pass out from blood
pressure spike and it's like she's doing like 19 fucking back flips and with a twist and perfectly
sticking and they're just like they want about a 9.8 to me.
Yeah, they literally want
Right, they want these people to
perform with
torn ligaments and shit.
To add valor to the US of A.
We love that shit.
They love someone to
overcome a fucking
broke bone or
some bullshit. I had a good tweet because one of those
right wing dipshits was like
Michael Jordan quitting in game 7.
You couldn't imagine that. I saw that.
Somebody quote tweeted and said
yes, Michael Jordan of course would never
retire in his
quitting his prime because of a personal
trauma. I did see that.
It's the whole reason we have Space Jam
by the way. Actually you're right. And the new Space Jam is LeBron. Have y'all seen it? No. I did see that, yeah. The whole reason we have Space Jam, by the way. Actually, you're right.
And the new Space Jam is LeBron.
Have y'all seen it? No. I watched it at the
drive-in. I don't like it.
No, it wasn't good.
It wasn't great, but
there was a full moon over the drive-in. That was nice.
And Ruby went, her first drive-in.
That's nice. She was a
pretty good girl, but you know there's
just gangs of cats in Norton she was on edge the
whole time there were cats proud I saw a beautiful fox wait gangs is this like a known thing yeah
yeah they're in the paper they report on things that the gangs of cats have done
they wear colors. They're like color-coded. Two kicks around flipping quarters.
Like Top Cat.
Yeah, they tear shit up.
The Norton Cat Gangs.
It's just hard to believe there's Olympics happening.
And there's been so many bizarre, like,
they kick that girl out for weed.
For having to pitch the inter-system.
What's the right wing
line on Sha'Carri?
Is that she's like...
I don't know.
I haven't seen much.
I've seen like,
you know,
all the liberals saying
whatever, whatever.
It seems like the,
I don't know what the
right wings have been
saying about her.
Because it's like,
she's the fastest woman
in the world,
but like,
oh, she also smoked pot
or whatever.
I know the Republicans
are trying to get cool
on pot a little bit,
so I didn't know where they'd land on that.
Charles Koch is apparently coming out hard,
funding all of these legalization efforts now.
It's Biden really not going to legalize weed.
That's stupid bastard.
He would rather die than legalize weed.
He is very against drugs.
Very, very against it. Unless it's stupid bastard. He would rather die than legalize weed. He is very against drugs. Very, very against it.
Unless it's his son.
That's different.
More drugs for Hunter.
You know, you're right.
I saw a thing about how a Megan Rapinoe was selling CBD or something at the Olympics.
There's something going on.
Yeah, some weed.
And then there was like the whole scandal that they were trying to
keep athletes from fucking.
They made the beds. Cardboard beds.
Yeah, right, right.
Oh, man.
Where even is it?
Tokyo.
Like, apparently a tsunami is approaching it and so they're
determining if they want to keep doing it or not yeah like clearly the games through a pandemic
and a tsunami let me tell you all if if a tsunami hits the tokyo olympic village
like we really cardboard beds or we yeah just like spinning in the air uh what was the
russian gymnast's name biblical in this in this yeah angelina malnikova malnikova just got down
with the gold just pride oh god oh fuck we did so a tsunami's about to hit there that's what that's what i've
read or heard or something we have angered something it's the only thing i know i mean
if you like look let's just sit the biblical plagues right beside what we've done
the gulf is not that wide you know know what I mean? Right. Yeah.
Things are not good.
Yeah.
I mean, that was a major theme of Trailbillies 2020.
From stars in the sky, the Bethlehem star, to the comet that flew over, to the raging pestilence all around us.
I mean, it is.
Wasn't there some sort of, what was it?
We had, what was it
just a couple weeks
ago?
The cicadas.
Oh, yeah, Brunex.
Oh, yeah, the brood
Brunex cicadas.
That's locusts.
And then there's
some murder hornets.
We thought they were
coming for a minute.
Maybe they still are.
I don't know.
They quickly became
a very annoying meme.
The murder hornets.
Yeah, that didn't
get a lot of mileage
out of that one.
No, the simulation was kind of half-ass in it with that.
A little too on the nose.
Well, what do you say?
Let's hear some speaker piece, yeah?
I think the best we can hope for is to get a minor traumatic brain injury
and learn a new language or something.
Well, I mean, so we've got a Patreon episode coming out on Sunday
about Edgar Cayce, who was a psychic who underwent most of his life asleep
while hypnotized.
Big same.
So people say that, you know, like the best part of sleep, you know,
if you're like depressed is like, you know, it's like being dead basically.
Yeah. If you could just be hypnotized i mean i can't do that see i stay up with like a feeling i'm gonna throw
up any second i can't see any peace when i'm depressed yeah yeah i mean i i mean i don't know
surprises here yeah tom you shouldn't let some podcast take your joy. I say if it works for you, go for it.
For meditating.
Yeah, fuck that.
Well, if it works for you, do it.
Yeah.
Because here's the thing.
All of us, maybe what all of us need for our mental health is just to be psyoped.
We all need to be psyoped for mental health.
Yeah, psyoped for mental health.
That's what we need prescribed.
I mean, maybe, though. Because here's the like but but you're aware of it though and so you know
psyop means science operation like psychological operation i just never really follow when we go
off on a tangent about psyops i never know is this like you're just too embarrassed to ask i've done that
before where i'm just like oh yeah yeah and then it's like sounds right i've been doing that that
about the word based for like two years now yeah or people's names have you like known somebody for
like three years and you can't you don't know their name but you're too embarrassed to ask at
this point yeah so they say what's up chief or boss or man or i'm with you i'm with you though tanya if it works for you man i say go for it fuck that and um
no one should let this podcast deter their bad or good behaviors please don't let this
nothing we say should impact your behavior in any way in fact people tell me that all the time though
tell you what well i mean there was that there was that article that came out in the new yorker i don't even know
if we want to touch this but like there was an article about like choppo and know your enemy
and it was like it seemed to it seemed to imply that like having a podcast and i've had this
conversation multiple times just in like the last week it seems to imply that having a podcast is
some sort of political act and not just entertainment and so like i will say that to
people in conversations like it's just entertainment and people are like but it's not
you also do have a platform and what you say matters and i'm like but does it yeah i don't
know i mean it's just a fucking radio show That's what I We've had many radio shows
I don't know maybe people do
Listen to it and are like
I'm gonna go shoot up a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado
If that's your takeaway
Please don't let that be your takeaway
If that's your takeaway
Please get into Transcendental Message
How about you don't
Please get PSYOPED immediately in a good way.
You could say that that is a good psyop.
You're not going to go shoot up a school
with transcendental meditation.
Exactly.
That's true.
What's the worst outcome there?
I give my life savings to the David Lynch Foundation.
That's fine.
I guess you could do worse for psyops.
How do you define a psyop?
I think it's like any kind of situation where maybe the circumstances of your information and knowledge intake has been to some degree orchestrated arranged controlled managed to
where like in some ways watching media mainstream media is a psyop because you are kind of if you
don't view it uncritically which i would venture to guess i have no idea i actually think most
people do view mainstream media critically but if you don, you are being kind of indoctrinated, in a sense,
in a kind of narrative that is constructed and managed and controlled.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, like you are a product of your algorithm.
In some ways, the hand that is controlling it might be a little more um heavy in the sense that maybe you have
been experimented on in an mk ultra test by the cia like with lsd at the age of seven
that could be a psyop as well that's a bad example of a bad side that's what i'm asking what's the
like that is those two things seem pretty different
but but we are casting a large well it depends yeah it depends on a large net what the outcome
is as i understand it correctly perhaps charles manson was mk ultrad as a child and this is
perhaps why he became the person that he became whereas Whereas you and I are just regular-ass media consumers,
and they don't need us to, like, go murder a celebrity family
in their homes in the Hollywood Hills.
They just need us to be sort of pliant and, you know, agreeable.
But I guess we aren't because we're ungovernable.
Shoppers.
Don't forget that.
We are ungovernable.
Are we?
You have a necklace saying that
i lost it years ago glad y'all remember glad y'all remember my fashion choices from years beyond
does that make sense though i guess i don't know yeah i i don't know though i'm probably
mischaracterizing it i mean yeah i anytime anytime I hear that, I assume that it's like government influence.
But it doesn't necessarily have to be.
I don't think it necessarily has to be.
In fact, you can do a fun little sigh up in your own home by posting a selfie of yourself just to remind everyone you're hot.
Which I do from time to time.
It's a fun little sigh up you can do.
I mean, even if you aren't really feeling hot, you can manipulate the angles to where you're hot which i do from time to time it's a fun little sign up you can do you know people i mean even if you aren't really feeling hot you can how's that so manipulate the angles
to where you're looking hot and the lighting oh man and people walk away with the narrative
oh terrence is still hot he's still got it still got it when in reality when in reality i look
sleep deprived i've got circles under my eyes.
Okay, so this is a very wide net.
It's a wide net we're casting. It just depends if the deep state's behind it or not.
Yeah, exactly.
What's the ends towards which it is being deployed?
Right.
So if you were being psyoped in Transcendental Meditation
away from political action that's
probably bad it's not as bad as i probably think i probably think there is some of that i think
that's probably like the criticism of it because i think it's like you know it's very focused on
the self it's like you know it's just kind of standard like right you know divert you away
from collective action type stuff it's probably why why it's popular with creatives and artists and stuff because you're not really...
Arch narcissists.
Well, I mean, maybe.
Arch narcissists.
But I feel like creative type people
are maybe a little more inclined.
Also rich creative type people.
That's it.
Yeah.
I don't know.
But, you know, being
a better version of yourself can't hurt your collective action.
Or can it?
Or can it, Tanya?
Well, if it makes you cooler, if you have a cooler head in bad scenarios, then it would have worked.
I think it's like, I think something good we could stand to do, no matter what, is let's celebrate the best of all of our traditions
and kind of discard the bad ones.
But the thing is,
people just get into shit whole cloth
and they think that like,
oh, you see this on the left.
Yeah.
With all the left infighting,
it's like, oh, well,
I can't criticize this faction or this, that.
It's like the person that's like,
I'm subscribing because you made like an offhand that's like, I'm subscribing because you made an offhand comment
about I'm not a tanky.
It's like, you're definitely more tanky than not tanky.
You know what I mean?
Anybody that knows you knows your politics.
But it's like you've got such an affinity
for this identity that that was a personal...
And it's fine.
There's a good many reasons that I'm subscribing
to my Patreon.
I'm not saying that was wrong.... It's fine. There's a good many reasons that I'm subscribed for my Patreon. I'm not saying that was wrong.
It feels kind of like an attack
on the thing that you have spent
a lot of time...
It's like, bro, if you just want to save that $5,
you've been waiting for the crack to...
It's like, I don't care.
Somebody recently unsubscribed
for my Patreon and said
it was because they thought it was going to be more political.
Do you know me at all?
I'm surprised somebody...
Actually, I'm going to say that no, the vast majority of our audience probably doesn't know that.
That I'm not...
That political?
That I'm not interested in having yet another political project?
Why? Why? Why?
Why?
I don't know.
To the person who keeps telling me I'm going to die and meet God.
Sooner or later we all are, buddy.
I know who you are and you are not knowledgeable about worldly things, let alone the Bible.
When you have such little knowledge,
you should keep your opinions to yourself
because on that great judgment day,
you will have to give account for every one of them.
I feel it's funny that the other person was telling them
they're going to die and meet God
because I feel like if you're harassing or insulting someone,
you generally tell them they're going to die and go to hell.
So whoever they're responding to... That's what I'm going to start doing. Next time I threaten someone, I'm going to say, you generally tell them they're going to die and go to hell. So whoever they're responding to...
That's what I'm going to start doing. Next time I threaten someone,
I'm going to say, you ready to make God?
Hey, you ready to go to that land of
never-ending happiness and bliss, motherfucker?
I love... Where the streets are paved
with gold. Yeah. You ready to go
to the land of milk and honey, son of a bitch?
I love to pump off a good go to hell.
Yeah. Go to hell, Jeff. I love to pump off a good go to hell. Yeah.
Go to hell, Jeff.
I do too.
But I've never said go to heaven.
Go to heaven.
Get out of here.
Here's a word about snitches.
To the person who commented about tattlers.
I know who you're talking about and that's just fine.
I'd rather be a tattler than a rip.
Because when you're married, you're supposed to be true to your husband not everybody else's man lord i forgot about old rip
as being like a euphemism for like you know a slut slutty or yeah marriage meretricious yeah
you'd rather be a snitch than a rip i don't know about that no i'm not sure about that no they they missed the memo
we've destigmatized all the words about uh a woman's sexual being hot yeah to a certain person
if all these people know so much about me just imagine what they know about you and your low
life family pretty straightforward there's a lot of personal attacks and covid content in this week's speaker
piece like i didn't include a single covid one but if you wanted to you could read one
but i do think it's fascinating that the people of ledger county are
very much interested in it as our cases have uptick so has our interest imagine that
tarrant's didn't circle this one but i kind of caught it out of the corner of my eye.
I think it's pretty funny.
It's a little improvisation here.
I'm responding to the comment
about the thief and liar in McRoberts.
The caller better get his story straight.
I've never stolen from anybody
over in Dean in my life.
The other places, sure, but Dean, no.
So this is literally the thief replying.
Yeah, pretty much.
So I've never stolen from anyone in Dean.
I might be at large in three counties.
I stay in my lane, bitch.
Yeah.
I'm a Heyman boy.
You know that.
Oh, my God.
Every last person who took part or helped plan the January 6th insurrection
and continues to help whitewash and defend it needs to be executed.
This is my favorite.
This is what you call common sense reform.
This is my favorite type.
Like the militant genocidal lib.
Love it.
A mealy-mouthed preen and pukes who call themselves patriots while betraying the United States
needs to be treated to a real special exit.
Is that Bucky Steins out there?
Oh, God.
Of course you know the electrician that shows up.
This is like the beginning of a porn.
The electrician shows up.
Hey, Bucky Bye
What's going on man
I'm pretty good about you
Hell yeah
I'm trying to
Me and Bucky went to school
Oh okay
Have a good evening
is that not your electrician
that's him
oh
they're coming back tomorrow
oh
uh let's see here
mr biden needs to keep his mouth shut
when it comes to the nation of israel
the nation of israel does not need to hear anything from him
this one has a twist
that's why i circled it the nation of is does not need to hear anything from him. This one has a twist.
That's why I circled it. The nation of Israel is a sovereign nation,
and most of all, they are God's chosen people.
The Biden administration is working against anything
that is right for our own nation,
but I have some good news for Israel.
Every nation that comes against them will be destroyed.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Good cell phone here.
That's for a big if true, if I ever heard one.
Israel will be a nation long after
Iran is burned in the sand.
Also, Mitch McConnell
is useless.
Wow!
Oh, shit.
Did y'all see the call-in show
that Rand Paul was on this week?
Or this woman's like, go ahead with your questions.
She's like, hello, I'm a proud citizen.
I'm a proud Kentucky citizen, and I just wanted to call in to say,
fuck you, Rand Paul.
I did, yeah.
P.S., Mitch McConnell's a piece of shit.
I like that.
It's very apocalyptic.
Israel will be a nation long after Iran is burned in the sand.
Also, Mitch McConnell's useless.
No more will I vote for him as he has taken sides with Democrats to destroy our nation.
Oh, wow.
That's insane.
You know what they mean by that?
He just came out and said you should get vaccinated last week.
Oh, did he?
It took him that long to say people should get vaccinated?
I think he's been pretty consistent, but just not.
I don't know if he'd made a statement on it just not it was the del i don't know i don't
know if he'd made a statement on it but it was definitely the delta variant thing because
when the stock market got spooked again earlier this week i think when it was becoming clear that
the delta thing actually was kind of a big deal and like numbers are surging again also the supply
chain's like really bad fucked up people can can't find workers because people are dead.
You know what I mean?
Now it's like, oh shit, it's affecting our bottom line, so we better do something.
Bad news bears all around.
We the people must stand for what is right in our nation,
and that is to obviously stand with the nation of Israel.
Obviously.
Obviously.
It's just in from the Real News Network. Obviously. Obviously.
It's just in from the Real News Network.
Donald Trump is no longer in office.
He's been out of office for seven months.
Pass that along to CNN.
Yep.
Did they just keep talking about his dumb ass?
The Real News Network, yep.
Let's see here.
The Real News Network.
To the caller who answered my comment about wokeism and said I was the local Klan representative.
I must have struck a nerve in your
weak mind because you know my conclusion
about wokeism was based on the truth.
Furthermore,
furthermore,
I think it'd be wise for you to see a
shrink concerning your severe case of
narcissistic megalomania.
A little redundant, but pretty sick burn.
Megalomania?
And as for me being a local Klan representative,
I am not a member of a Klan, especially the wokeism Klan.
Oh my God.
The wokeism Klan.
Narcissistic megalomaniac.
Pretty big deal.
This is concerning the person
who called in about the vaccinated versus
the unvaccinated in Letcher County.
If you've been vaccinated,
take a magnet and put it at the spot where
you were vaccinated and see if it sticks.
Oh my god.
I tried this on my friend who had the vaccine.
Yes, it sticks.
Tell me what you think what you think
about that i am waiting yeah oh man to an old grouchy person i will keep giving you all the
dirty looks i want to you know i am giving them to you when I come face to face with my God, he will be my judge, not you nor your neighbors.
To a certain person, I don't look like Grandma Hog and I smell like a rose.
Okay.
I have a good life and you are not included in that good life.
You don't have to worry about people leaving you alone.
You are alone period
i i didn't i had i caught a little glimpse of this because a lot of people that listen probably
follow rex chapman on twitter he's got a popular twitter account but a lot of people don't know
rex chapman's from kentucky played kentucky basketball but i saw him and oj simpson
mentioning the same speaker piece i So I have to oblige.
Rex Chapman, the former UK basketball great,
is at it yet again.
Fox News does love America the same way OJ Simpson loved Nicole.
You don't know what you're missing
if you don't follow.
Oh, that's kind of...
What?
Said he's at it again,
but then praised him.
That's an interesting way to phrase it.
Well, yeah.
I didn't circle it for multiple reasons.
It's anticlimactic.
It uses the analogy of Fox News in America and O.J. Simpson in...
Like he loved Nicole.
Right.
What the fuck?
I mean...
I don't know.
Asinine, yes.
It was an asinine comparison.
That was what it was.
Let's see.
I think that's all of them this week.
That's probably all of them this week.
Yeah, that's...
A lot of grumps, a lot of COVID content.
One guy who thinks that Mitch McConnell's useless,
but the state of Israel will never fall.
Come on.
I do have one that's kind of local interest.
Well, it's not local interest, but I'm calling about Texas and Oklahoma
wanting to join the Southeastern Conference.
I almost circled that one.
I agree with this guy.
If you want to run with the big dogs, you have to come to where the big dogs are.
But I can't imagine Alabama and Texas playing in Texas Stadium.
I don't know how many seats that place holds.
It holds
very many, thank you.
There's plenty.
It'll hold all of your asses.
I don't know how many seats that place
holds, but they'd have to put some more seats in there
because it would just be flooded with
fans. Just looking forward
to it and thinking about Texas coming to Lexington
to play the Wildcats. That'd be
something to see too. Texas and Oklahoma will be getting into a tough conference.
I'll tell them that right now.
Why are they switching up the conferences?
It's just, you know, money, revenues, and stuff.
Broadcast.
I mean, yeah.
I don't know.
I guess the Big 12 kind of felt.
The Big 12 probably have to disband.
Like, their two flagship products are. They kind of fell apart. Like, A&M left. Missouri. I guess the Big 12 kind of fell. The Big 12 probably have to disband. They're two flagship products.
They kind of fell apart.
Like A&M left.
Missouri.
The Big 10?
Yeah.
How are they?
Big 12.
Big 12.
They were in the Big 12.
A&M is now in what?
SEC.
SEC.
Both Missouri and A&M and SEC.
Is it 12 now?
Are there 12 in the Big 12?
Yeah, how many are in the Big 12?
Yeah, I guess there's 10 now.
There's 11 in the Big 10 if you need it further complicated.
You're going to have to add South Plains College to the Big 12.
There's just no getting around it.
No getting around it.
My alma mater.
And Austin Community College.
It's like we really scraped the bottom, man.
Oh, shit.
Maybe Texas State will get added to the Big 12.
I don't think they're...
Who would they add to the Big 12?
I have no idea.
It's like now your big schools are like Kansas and Oklahoma State.
Texas Tech is in the Big 12, right?
Yeah, Texas Tech, yeah.
They need to send A&M and Missouri back.
Yeah. That's just one man's opinion. They need to send A&M and Missouri back Yeah
That's just one man's opinion
A&M left the Big 12 because Texas got a
Broadcasting deal
It got it's own channel
Texas channel on SBN
Now they're in the SEC
I'm sure that deal is through the roof
Yeah
Be interesting to see
Definitely be interesting on this show
because now I'll have a reason
to go to Lexington and go to UK games
they only play like once every
like five years or something
be special when they do though

I made rosewater under this
full moon. It was really nice. Yeah.
Fresh rosewater is great. Yeah.
But this
one was recommended by Edgar Cayce readings.
That specific brand of Rosewater
He's a brand hoe
He probably was just recommended
Maybe he was a brand hoe
He just recommended Rosewater in general
You know how there's been this kind of vogue
For all these sort of like
Apothecary type
Early 20th century type
There's like
Perfumes and colognes
that they made in the Vatican in
1780, that kind of shit.
