On this episode of This Past Weekend: This Past Weekday, the boys talk about the Cambridges twang, squirrels, and the solstice. Also, a new segment called "I'm Coming to You Live For Me For Now" where we talk about people who don't talk too much and who are just who you like to have fun with.
00:01:00.520It kind of sounds like the kind of sound that, like, when everything's going, like in the movie, like, when the couple is, you know, they're out and finally everything's going great.
00:01:16.920It's like the third date and it's just a montage and they're dancing and, like, spinning each other around in the rain and, like, listen, listen.
00:01:24.920Yeah, you see, yeah, we got the third date in the books and now we're just, we're bowling and kissing and, you know, trying on our bowling shoes and laughing and, like, punching each other softly, soft punches.
00:01:52.440And doing stuff like that, you know, or if you take maybe two squirrels.
00:01:59.840I don't know if you've ever spent any time around squirrels.
00:02:01.940They're basically, they're basically a very short ferret but with a tail on it, kind of.
00:02:11.060And they are, they're exciting animals.
00:02:13.580They're animals that are, I don't want to say they're beautiful animals, but I think they're, I'll sit and talk with you about them all day.
00:02:20.440They are a very enticing, enticing species, the squirrel.
00:02:26.060But, yeah, this seemed like a couple of them were just kind of in the trees going nuts.
00:02:37.420Just kind of running around and, like, grabbing, like, acorns and peeking out from behind the other tree and, like, scurrying up the branches.
00:04:03.760There's a, kind of a very girthy sort of Indian or Middle Eastern man downstairs who, I'm going to go out on a limb and say, this fellow wants to do sex with me.
00:04:17.360He keeps baiting me downstairs, saying that the printer is fixed, the printer is fixed, and it's broken.
00:04:48.600A lot of, one guy took me back in this baggage room where they kept a bunch of baggage one time and he had a German shepherd back there giving babies.
00:05:53.660And this one is of Michael Landon, who, you know, I've always thought of as like a television profit actor, you know, who really kind of led or tried to help lead everybody in a positive direction.
00:06:26.240We don't know the effects of a lot of the medicines that we're on right now.
00:06:31.060I mean, I'm just, what if at, you know, 70 years old, somebody who's been using a cell phone for 30 years, what if their fucking eyeballs fall out of their head, huh?
00:06:43.200What if that's one of the afflictions, you know?
00:06:46.280And you've got a bunch of people running around with no eyes or walking slowly and still, and being angry at Verizon, but still addicted to their phones.
00:06:57.080How crazy is that going to look when you have a guy with no eyes, no eyes in his head, and you're like, what happened to you?
00:07:07.860And he says, sorry, I can't talk right now.
00:07:10.980I'm on the phone, even though it's the phone that did it to him.
00:07:17.080We got some great callers that called in about, one, I'm going to leave us with today.
00:07:21.660A caller called a few weeks ago about the future, and I'm going to leave us with that one at the end of the lineup today so you can see what you think.
00:07:29.100He had a really great, a good point, a good topic that I want to lead us into, and we can talk about that.
00:07:35.280But first, I want to tell you about here in Pittsburgh, man.
00:08:13.480I had a lot of lovely fans that came out, man, lovely fans and friends.
00:08:16.920I'm going to tell you where I'm going up soon, and then we'll get into the news, and then we're going to hit into some calls and emails from people, from listeners, that we're going to offer some basic life suggestions, people that hit the hotline.
00:08:30.940I'm going to give you that hotline number right now, 985-664-9503.
00:08:36.960And the cities I'm hitting soon, Nashville, Las Vegas, Orlando, Calusa Casino in north of Sacramento, New York City, Stark County, Illinois.
00:08:52.420So those places are going to be coming up, as well as Addison, Texas.
00:08:55.500That's in Dallas or outside of Dallas on that second week of August.
00:08:59.360But all those other cities are before the end of July.
00:09:02.460You can find them at TheoVaughn.com slash tour, T-O-U-R.
00:09:08.920As well, I've got the new album that's out now, Musket Fire, The Early Years of Satire, and 30 Pound Bag of Hamster Bones.
00:15:05.560You know, I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I don't live in a world where I know, personally, hundreds of people who you would think never use the N-word, who I hear use it.
00:15:17.380I'm not going to sit in a world and pretend that that's the case.
00:17:28.840And you don't have any idea who Kathy Griffin is.
00:17:31.520She's this snarky, kind of early Perez Hilton sort of, she was kind of like a human TMZ that just told these weird behind-the-scenes stories about celebrities.
00:17:40.480That I never thought were super funny.
00:17:43.580And then she just, like, caltoed to the gay community for her fanship.
00:17:48.200But Bill Maher, I mean, that's who he is.
00:18:14.960But, yeah, I mean, I just, you know, my thoughts and prayers are really with those people who, you know, are dealing with their children and having to deal with that.
00:18:53.840If you're thinking and praying for bologna and cheese to meet in your kitchen, you're dead wrong.
00:18:58.200But, if you're thinking and praying that the hearts of someone who's hurting could find more comfort, I think that things like that can really occur.
00:19:10.960So, I believe in some of those things.
00:24:14.580So he's saying that, you know, it's hard for him not to be a prick to his roommate.
00:24:20.420But then you say, Alex, I think it was Alex, you said the few responsibilities you give him.
00:24:27.240So it seems like your take on this, you know.
00:24:31.060So, yeah, it seems like you're having trouble adapting to being in a roommate situation.
00:24:35.520Because if you're giving this dude, you know, if you're like giving demands out of him, it sounds like you're not going to, some of those things you're not going to get.
00:24:46.400You know, I mean, if you're expecting him to do all these things and expecting him to live a certain way, he's an adult too.
00:24:52.920You know, he might be set in his ways.
00:24:57.780It sounds like you're more angry that you have to now live with someone.
00:25:46.520His parents are taking care of things.
00:25:47.760Because that's going to be his life for now, you know.
00:25:51.880And if you guys are arguing, then it's only going to make things even worse.
00:25:55.440So you don't want to get into an argumentative state, man.
00:25:59.400You know, maybe if he doesn't want to contribute and there are things he has to do,
00:26:03.700maybe see if he'd be willing to put in to a cleaner, like a house cleaner that comes once a week.
00:26:10.300You know, that way he can get whatever his responsibilities are done, make his responsibilities some of the cleaning, and then he can pay to have them done.
00:26:19.020So that way it takes it off of his chest.
00:26:20.920But you can't feel bad if he's not physically doing those things.
00:26:38.000And somebody else ends up writing their name on the damn spaghetti sauce.
00:26:41.700And then, I mean, we had a guy who jumped out of his own window, tried to kill himself when he was on drugs or something, but he was only on the first floor.
00:26:52.600So he ended up just breaking his window and damaging a set of Venetian blinds.
00:26:59.560But he was an idiot, you know, but he tried to kill it.
00:27:02.200He tried to, you know, we had roommate wars and all that shit and people losing their mind.
00:27:07.780You know, I mean, things can happen with your roommates where you can be fun.
00:28:42.320I hope he just sleeps all day in pure comfort while I handle the chores.
00:28:47.980Because then here's what happens is then you, then you suddenly you are a proponent of his.
00:28:56.040So even if you have these issues, you start to, you start, he starts to become something you're cheering for instead of something you are angry against.
00:29:09.220It sounds crazy, but it'll adjust that perspective inside of you, man.
00:33:02.800If you're over there with the Ukrainians, a lot of them, you know, they got a lot of, I'll tell you, out the shoot here, a lot of that pornography comes out of the Ukraine and, you know, the Soviet Union.
00:33:15.020And, you know, those girls like to be, they like to get wild, you know, real butt universe over there.
00:45:54.860But if it's anxiety, if it's that devil in you, and if it's that mental nut, that, you know, that, you know, that, that, when you feel that devil just gearing up in your heart and in your rectum and in your crotch,
00:46:11.000then you need to find a way to let that out.
00:46:14.460And that, I think, is doing the gym or doing, watching car accidents online or doing, watching adult karate or, you know, doing ping pong.
00:46:27.860I don't do yo-yos or any of that kind of shit.
00:48:19.480But the fact is, I saw a stat yesterday on Snapchat saying, you know,
00:48:24.0803 million more women are graduating from college every year than men.
00:48:27.940The result of that is going to be, you know, major income inequality coming up.
00:48:33.720And when it comes time to raise a family and stuff, you know,
00:48:36.920my generation's pretty lost in terms of what it means to be a man, what it means to be a woman.
00:48:42.320So he's saying that he's saying that there will be 3 million more women a year graduating college than men into a generation where already there's a very blurred line of what it means to be a man and what it means to be a woman.
00:49:19.680And I just don't think that we're ready for that.
00:49:22.640Going from being completely lost of what it means to be, you know, a man, a woman, to being thrown into the hard position of being the reliant spouse.
00:49:33.620Let's back it up for one second so we get all of what he said.
00:49:39.240You know, my generation's pretty lost in terms of what it means to be a man, what it means to be a woman, the roles that we have to play.
00:49:47.300And I just don't think that we're ready for that.
00:49:50.420Going from being completely lost of what it means to be, you know, a man, a woman, to being thrown into the hard position of being the reliant spouse in a marriage.
00:50:03.300And I think that's going to cause major cultural turmoil.
00:50:07.660And, you know, who knows what the result of that is going to be.
00:50:11.200So, yeah, 10 years from now, I think that's going to happen.
00:50:39.440I don't think it's scary because women will be the ones making more money.
00:50:45.100It's scary because I worry about what effect that might have on a man, on the psyche of a man.
00:50:53.180Are we moving too fast for our psyches to be able to handle it?
00:50:59.020You know, I mean, there's something intrinsic in a man where you want to be the provider, where you want to be, you know, the one who's bringing home the ducats, you know, stacks on stacks.
00:51:11.100You know, and now it's going to be women.
00:51:14.280It's going to be women who are doing this in 10 years.
00:51:33.600I mean, in 10 years, I mean, I grew up with a single, just a single mother.
00:51:36.920So it's like, you know, I was used to my mother being the breadwinner, but would it have been different if I had same age parents or similar, and then that mom is making all the money and the dad is dealing with the feelings of that?
00:51:52.560Or is that just going to be commonplace where, you know, the fact that men feel like they need to be that is going to start to disappear, that that's just an old feeling that, you know, that we don't need to have anymore.
00:52:06.920Almost like the appendix, you know, for, you know, there's theories that at some point the appendix was necessary for man, but that now it's just this piece in your body that gets infected sometimes when you're playing little league baseball and you have to go to the hospital immediately.
00:52:22.060So what's it going to be, man, you know, cause that could be startling.
00:52:27.500And are these women going to want to be, you know, are they just going to be the breadwinners and then still want to be mothers?
00:52:36.120Are they going to be, you know, insane, aggressive feminists?
00:52:40.340You know, one thing I noticed about a lot of aggressive feminists, they're not mothers.
00:54:18.520And also we're considering Patreon or Patreon, um, where we do something special for listeners each month.
00:54:24.420Uh, it's kind of a subscription based service.
00:54:27.140I just want to know what you think about this.
00:54:28.780It's something I'm considering, um, just so that I can get into like a regular type of studio space, maybe get us a little bit better camera, um, and just have a, uh, you know, a producer that's helping constantly.
00:54:44.240I got this guy, Sherb, uh, who brings us into his studios over on, uh, in Conscious Studios.
00:54:50.200Um, I got a guy, Adam, who helps give me advice.
00:54:53.340Um, I got a guy, Chris and, and my buddy Ken Highland and Chris Mako.
00:54:57.820You know, I got guys helping out, but, um, I'd love to be able to, you know, things cost money.
00:55:02.720I'd love to be able to create a system that's a little bit stronger, but also I don't want to damage what we have going on.
00:55:07.660Um, I'm grateful to you, you guys for calling in.
00:55:10.840You can also feel, feel free to call in and hit the hotline with any other issues or problems, whatever's going on, man.
00:55:15.880You got something in your brain, something in your heart, drop it in there, you know, and I appreciate it, man.
00:55:21.260And if I can relate at all, I will share my experience.
00:55:24.420Or if you hit me with a stomper and you hit, you got my brain going, then I'm going to share it like we did here just now with Nick, you know, because that's, that's wild to think that in 10 years, women could have all that money, you know?
00:55:39.200And has that just changed the dynamic of what it means to be in a relationship and what it means, how that fits?
00:55:45.960Is it, can we still be a man if we're not the breadwinner?
00:55:51.900And I mean, it's hard to feel like one now, you know, I don't know if it's hard to feel like one, but it's hard to feel like you can express that you're one.
00:55:59.440Um, but also I think some of that's just America, you know, I hope it is.
00:56:03.580Um, and hopefully it's just a phase that we're going through and some of this evens out because I think we should all be able to have the true joy of, of whatever our gender is, you know, or even if you're gender neutral, you should be able to have that joy, whatever that is.
00:56:18.780You know, I don't think somebody has to win.
00:56:21.960And that's what I don't like about some of the feminism.
