Today's episode is brought to you by Liquid Death.
00:01:07.800
I remember my mother went on a date or something one time.
00:01:30.320
You could pat him on the back and hear the quarters in him.
00:01:39.260
He invited us over to his house like the first time he ever invited us over.
00:01:59.160
So, Big Charlie, he had us over for some Turkish game hen.
00:02:31.800
This gal that I know, um, told me that if you say,
00:03:05.240
You're gonna just walk into a hardware store later and be like,
00:03:09.900
Um, but yeah, Big Charlie, he had us over for some Turkish game hen.
00:03:17.640
And you bring us over for these little fancy ass, uh, you know, little French pigeons, man.
00:03:27.280
I remember the shoulders were just so like that deltoid.
00:03:31.400
And I remember sitting in it, just trying to look nice, like we'd never been over there.
00:03:38.080
And we had, I think, I don't know if my mom had made them.
00:03:42.460
Just, just trying to be outside of our means, you know?
00:03:48.340
Like, damn, give me a damn McNugget, baby, you know?
00:03:56.460
You know, give me something that I could, that'll, that'll, that'll, you know, my stomach is even gonna recognize.
00:04:01.440
You send this little bad little, this little money pigeon in, this little Turkish game hen in.
00:04:09.040
And I, my system doesn't know what to, you know?
00:04:13.960
That's like when a, uh, a realtor, you know, walks into a homeless camp.
00:04:19.820
It's gonna be a little, you know, what are you, this is, you know?
00:04:25.240
Um, but Big Charlie had us over there for them Turkish game hens, and then, and then years later he would die.
00:04:33.720
But at the, uh, but I remember just seeing that little pigeon and be like, I felt bad eating it.
00:04:38.660
It looked like a damn little, uh, sarcophagus of a damn, you know, a famous bird or something.
00:04:46.560
You know, maybe one of those birds that had been in World War II, those little, um, you ever see the pigeon with the little backpack on it?
00:05:05.680
I went to the museum over there in Philadelphia.
00:05:09.140
Over there where they, city of brotherly love, man.
00:05:12.960
And they got some brothers that beat the love right out of you, too, if you're out there near Temple late at night.
00:05:32.440
And they showed the pigeons in there with the backpack.
00:06:16.560
We wouldn't even be able to keep this shit warm.
00:06:22.940
They'll melt the damn chocolate if it's in a tank.
00:06:37.160
You love a little thing of chocolate soup in your hand.
00:07:31.740
If you wear a leather jacket at a Mexican restaurant,
00:07:57.020
Halloween is over and I don't need to see no more.
00:08:11.380
If you wear a leather jacket to a Mexican restaurant,
00:08:24.300
If you wear a leather jacket to a Mexican restaurant,
00:10:23.420
There was so much big energy heading into Halloween.
00:10:28.380
What, you know, where, where, where are you going?
00:10:33.080
Is there, you know, I don't have any face paint.
00:11:20.480
Those are the ones mom had bought or dad had bought.
00:11:23.520
And then we cut the hair on them bastards one time.
00:12:14.600
You know, I remember we do a fake IV into the arm.
00:14:00.700
Because they'd be done partying for the summer,
00:14:14.900
I guess they'd come down from the mountains at that time of year,
00:17:25.960
When we did that Christmas Spectacular show last year.
00:17:43.100
I'm so happy to see you together here in the new year.
00:17:47.020
I hope you and all of your fans have a purr-fect 2021.
00:18:00.620
She argues that producers are simply rehashing,
00:18:05.260
To make it seem like she has given new interviews,
00:19:41.160
It just felt like the lowest common denominator for racial pandering.
00:19:48.140
And it felt like it takes away from real stuff that happens.
00:20:32.900
After comparing being an NFL athlete to being a slave.
00:21:00.140
You guys travel in a way different class of travel.
00:21:30.380
Elon Musk becomes the first person to be worth more than 300 billion dollars.
00:21:42.100
There's about 30 people that have all the money.
00:22:04.340
Probably a lot of politicians or former politicians.
00:22:08.800
They are all taking trips to space because obviously something is about to happen here.
00:22:19.000
And maybe there's like 10 or 20 people that are going to get to keep going.
00:22:29.620
Maybe they'll have a draft and you get to see what it's like.
00:22:34.280
There's going to be 10 or 20 people keep going.
00:22:40.200
And why do they pick Colin Kaepernick for this story?
00:23:23.200
And I don't have to be right about any of that.
00:23:41.480
I think maybe Chinese lady with a little umbrella.
00:24:52.860
I don't know who would be on that final vessel.
00:24:55.780
They probably won't have me on it unless it's of a lottery drawing.
00:25:01.340
Elon Musk's net worth has surpassed $300 billion.
00:25:04.900
Making him the first person on this planet to reach that milestone.
00:25:10.420
The surge in Musk's assets come as lawmakers are considered a billionaire's tax.
00:25:21.860
Musk slammed the billionaire tax proposal saying that my plan is to use that money to get humanity to Mars.
00:25:35.880
We will be here arguing with robots that are coming to vaccinate us in our homes.
00:25:45.780
People will be fist fighting robots in their front yards.
00:25:55.800
The UN says $6 billion from the world's billionaires could solve a hunger crisis.
00:26:05.300
Elon Musk says he will sell Tesla stock and donate proceeds if the UN can prove that.

00:30:20.040
You know, if you, like the, you know, Samsung is the damn, Samsung.
00:30:25.840
Samsung, I mean, damn, Samsung is the, they're, they own almost everything.
00:30:35.000
If you look on your own house, probably see, you know, damn, Darren Samsung is on there.
00:30:43.820
You look, you know, you look in your wife's heart, it's probably, you know, Alan Samsung is in that.
00:30:51.800
Everything's owned by Tyco, Samsung, what else?
00:31:16.420
It's a, uh, it's like seeing a damn, um, hot dog in a underwater cave or whatever.
00:31:33.180
Uh, that Michael Chandler, Justin Gaethje fight.
00:31:40.840
Um, staying in my yoga, uh, been going to a lot of my recovery meetings recently, trying
00:31:49.840
to lean back into that and find some new, new ground.
00:31:57.140
It's that time of year, you know, everything feels like the candy is gone in some ways, uh,
00:32:03.980
with the Halloween, that buildup and that excitement and sometimes I just, uh, you know, it's, it's
00:32:12.160
like a, this time of year always felt like kind of a new, there's a frenetic energy that
00:32:20.520
Um, you know, it's a new year coming, you know, it's like, you're kind of finishing things
00:32:28.120
Um, and yeah, I want to try to embrace some of those moments where things, you know,
00:32:33.980
feel like new and crisp and, uh, you know, I want to, I want to feel some of that.
00:32:46.920
So, so I'm looking forward to trying to, trying to do that some, um, my hair looks like a damn
00:32:54.040
pioneer, the son, I look like the handsome son of a, uh, inbred pioneer family.
00:33:00.240
Um, that's kind of how I feel right now and not heavily inbred, like a light dusting of it, you
00:33:09.080
know, kind of like you're looking around the dinner table.
00:33:11.860
You're like, okay, there's, there's some, uh, there's people holding hands under the table that
00:33:21.200
Um, I'll tell you this, that, uh, the come up by Eddie Ninevolt, that was our opening song
00:33:29.260
and we got a gift someone sent in that I'll open in a little while.
00:33:35.140
You guys sent in some beautiful calls and stuff.
00:33:37.140
I want to thank everybody that came out to the shows in Charleston, had a beautiful, just
00:33:49.940
Went over to the, uh, you know, there's all these different little areas, there's horses
00:33:57.780
My buddy's like, dude, you know, the horses, they, a lot of them don't want to be doing
00:34:08.680
I was at a horse field a couple of weeks ago and those horses honestly look like they
00:34:14.260
would give anything to have the opportunity to get out in the world and work.
00:34:25.780
They were huddled in the shade of a, uh, very small, like tree and scarecrow.
00:34:33.160
It was like nine horses trying to hide in the shade of one scarecrow.
00:34:45.180
You could tell they were tired overall of just being, not, you know, having nothing to
00:34:50.240
So, when I go, I'm in Charleston and I see a horse out there working his ass off.
00:34:56.120
Working his white and chocolate speckles ass off.
00:35:22.080
They got on the freaking, uh, what's the thing horses have?
00:35:31.800
You know, if you work for Mr. Gray and he makes you do sex or whatever.
00:36:13.760
It's like, hey, have you been, have you ever had a wine?
00:36:34.320
I've been babbling enough, but thank you to everybody that's come out.
00:36:36.820
We, we, we got a great, uh, segment of tour coming up.
00:36:39.960
We're hitting Richmond this weekend, Baltimore, then off for a couple of days in Burlington,
00:36:45.240
Vermont, Portland, Maine, uh, Albany, Buffalo, Columbus, Baltimore, you know, a lot.
00:36:57.060
There's just a lot on the table and I'm here for that.
00:37:05.280
Uh, we had people calling in last time to, uh, response to Swipe Society.
00:37:10.000
And do you think this is the end of the, uh, of the realm of time and are things changing?
00:37:20.660
If you listen to that last solo episode, we have people calling in.
00:37:23.420
And then some Australians, I guess, have checked in.
00:37:29.500
It's Ben calling from Falcon in Western Australia.
00:37:37.340
And I'm glad you guys are, uh, doing well over there, man.
00:37:54.540
I am a beekeeper taking over the family business.
00:38:00.220
And, uh, I often find myself with you blasting through my ear pods, working the bees.
00:38:06.640
And then, uh, laugh out loud at something in my work, mate.
00:38:10.540
Looked at me and was like, what the fuck are you laughing at, boy?
00:38:15.760
I'm glad you guys are doing well, uh, out there, dude.
00:38:22.920
And, it's interesting that it's really such a, you know, it's like you sneak in, you steal that honey from them.
00:38:32.780
You smoke them out, you put that smoke on them, and then you steal the shit, man.
00:38:36.680
And it's very much like, uh, you know, a lot of, um, probably crime like in the 70s.
00:38:46.480
I would feel like you get everybody all huffed up on that puff, baby.
00:38:53.020
And the next thing you know, you're stealing every, you know, you're getting everything.
00:39:25.100
I'm glad you guys are still, obviously, taking care of what's, uh, you know, doing what you can in the world.
00:39:41.220
As requested, I just wanted to make sure you guys are doing well over there.
00:39:45.440
You know, I don't have a lot of, uh, you know, we don't get a lot of Australian contact here.
00:39:51.960
You know, you look at a globe and, and you see it on there.
00:40:01.980
You know, cause, like, you know, a lot of big winds and big water, you know, thoroughfares over that direction.
00:40:10.140
And so, I'm, I'm just happy to hear you guys are doing well out there.
00:40:15.780
And that's, I mean, that's really, it's almost like Lost.
00:40:21.360
And next thing you know, they're, you know, them people are doctoring up some dragons.
00:40:30.940
You know, there could have been Morse code in that voicemail.
00:40:47.100
I heard you talking about Australia on the last video.
00:40:58.500
And thank you for being alive still down there and for doing whatever you guys are doing.
00:41:02.140
You know, one of the international issues with Australia, people don't know what you're doing.
00:41:12.600
So, if you told us what you're doing sometimes, I think everybody would feel probably a little bit more, people would sleep easier.
00:41:23.640
I just want to say that probably about 50% of the reason why I listen to you is your accent, man.
00:41:32.940
Also, just the hilarious terms that you have for everything.
00:41:37.700
The question for you is, what do you think of Australians?
00:41:42.200
I mean, last time I was in the States, a lot of the feedback I was getting is, you know, Australians are tough Australians.
00:41:52.240
I'll tell you exactly what I feel like about Australians.
00:42:06.480
Whatever you did, whatever your grandparents did.
00:42:23.100
Ty Tuivasa, you know, he may still, may want to keep him locked up for another couple weeks.
00:42:28.040
But honestly, man, from the bottom of my heart, I feel like you guys have done your time.
00:42:35.720
And if there's anything we can do to help you, let us know.
00:42:46.600
And I don't know what the international capability of calling is, but they should let you call.
00:43:05.240
Oh, we had some, one of the topics we discussed last time was on the solo episode was, it was, it was, hold on, I know it.
00:43:29.600
We'll check back in with that episode right here.
00:43:38.320
You're seeing, I think, the downside of the comforts of a capitalist, of maybe capitalist America.
00:43:54.680
But we could be coming to the end of, you know, every period of history has a time.
00:44:29.720
So, you're seeing, you know, everything kind of goes through its time.
00:44:33.920
And I think this could be what, you know, I don't know.
00:44:38.540
Do you guys think we're at the end of times as far as, like, what American society has been like?
00:44:45.040
Or do you think we're just going through a little transition period and it's going to come out bigger and brighter?
00:44:55.140
I wonder sometimes is, you know, are we stuck in this, in this swipe society where we're just, we're literally just swiping for things that we want.
00:45:09.960
Whether they're human or not, uh, human, food, uh, Instacart, InstaHeart, we're looking, all of it is, is, we have access to it all.
00:45:29.280
And so, does it all lose its meaning when it's right there?
00:45:36.000
If you wake up with food in your mouth, man, it's, then the part of you that wants to eat,
00:45:51.760
Not the part of you that swallows the food, but the part of you that wants to eat.
00:45:57.420
But more so, the part of you that wants to hunt.
00:46:01.160
And you guys had a couple calls and thoughts that came in and I appreciate it.
00:46:04.560
You know, I like to try and keep this as a conversation if we can here and there.
00:46:07.720
And so, here's a couple of, uh, of calls that came in.
00:46:14.020
This is Ryan sitting on a bench under some nice trees in San Diego.
00:46:31.640
I'm listening to your podcast and, um, you were just talking about swipe society and, you know,
00:46:39.560
are we going to come back from this or, you know, is this, is this the last stop on the train line?
00:46:47.180
Uh, personally, I think things are, things are kind of dark, man.
00:46:52.320
Um, not right here under the tree, but just in general.
00:46:57.480
Um, you know, Americans who don't know each other seem to hate each other.
00:47:11.480
Yeah, I mean, you just described, you just described every McDonald's in America right there.
00:47:18.520
All fucking addicted to this piece of glass in our pockets.
00:47:33.520
Can't look to the right or look to the left and have a conversation with the person next to us.
00:47:37.240
So, um, that's not good, but on the other hand, I don't know.
00:47:48.140
I think it's like, you're just doing good work.
00:47:56.360
I don't, it's hard for me to hear nice things about myself.
00:48:04.620
And it's selfish of me to not even let you say them, isn't it?
00:48:10.280
Somebody was saying something nice, I'll stop them.
00:48:16.360
Not because I don't believe them, not because I don't, you know.
00:48:20.140
But I think sometimes at a core space inside of me, I don't...
00:48:24.400
I don't want to hear you say something nice about me because it would conflict
00:48:36.980
Um, and I'm not saying that as like a cry for help or anything like that.
00:48:52.180
It's one of the ways I can use to feel differently.
00:49:01.260
And then I stopped saying, I don't want to hear him say something nice.
00:49:03.800
Because if I hear him say something nice, then I'm going to think, man.
00:49:13.020
That would go against all the bad wiring that I've had inside of myself since I was little.
00:49:24.320
And I'm not saying, I'm not, it's hard to talk about these things and not have people think that I'm like in some place like, well, like, I'm not about to slit my, I'm not in some desperation space.
00:49:42.640
But all my life, I've felt like I'm not good enough.
00:49:49.400
I think that's a common feeling for a lot of people.
00:49:54.920
And I didn't really notice until just then when I stopped, I didn't want to hear you say something nice about me.
00:50:08.140
You know, it's nice of you to be in the park under the tree.
00:50:14.960
But, yeah, I just realized that when I stopped.
00:50:20.620
I said, man, I don't want to hear him say something nice about me.
00:50:24.460
And then I realized, man, a lot of times I don't, I have trouble hearing people say something nice about me.
00:50:31.760
And then I realized because if I hear him say something, if I let it sink in, if I believe what they're saying,
00:50:39.020
then that's going to go against these little, these things inside of myself that I've always thought I was no good.
00:50:48.380
Which are things that I learned at a very young age or whatever.
00:50:56.620
And which are things that have motivated me most of my life.
00:51:00.320
So, it would be, you know, so, anyway, there's kind of a lot there, but it's just interesting, man.
00:51:17.760
Everybody's just fighting on the, everybody's afraid to even say what they want.
00:51:20.940
But, you know, these corporations, Samsung, what else, YouTube, Frigidaire, they're the ones that own, you know, they got us.
00:51:36.100
They got, that's, they're the, they're the, the politicians.
00:51:50.940
It's, it's, and here's a, here's something that's interesting.
00:51:57.900
With, like, notifications and stuff, if you don't chat, if you don't do a check-in or if there's not, you get a thing.
00:52:07.560
Like, half my text messages are from machines now.
00:52:12.760
I'm literally communicating with machines, you know, it's, it's growing.
00:52:27.900
And it's interesting how all the machines hold all the, they hold all of us.
00:52:35.820
They've all, anytime you've ever said the N word or said the F word or said the L word, you know.
00:52:44.200
You know, you know, if you told somebody you loved them or whatever, you know.
00:52:48.020
It's like any of the things you say that the machines have heard them.
00:52:54.860
So, it's crazy that, like, if they wanted to, they could be keeping everyone or many, many people.
00:53:04.180
They could be keeping many people, you know, captive.
00:53:14.700
You're, everybody's just going to be sitting around waiting for the machine to spit out something that they shouldn't have said.
00:53:32.000

Let's get another call that came in in this response to Swipe Society and that sort of deal.
00:55:38.380
If you ever want a damn breath of fresh air, man.
00:55:43.340
Actually, a breath of fresh air sounds disgusting, doesn't it?
00:55:49.300
I don't want it coming out of somebody's freaking pie hole.
00:55:51.980
I don't want it coming out of somebody's little tater tot cavern.
00:56:24.440
You guys going to buy me a new computer or what?
00:56:34.880
I just spilled a ton of liquid death for the second time on my computer.
00:57:04.300
I didn't know that, brother, but I appreciate it.
00:57:42.420
Is this the end of American society as we know it?
00:57:47.180
And I think that they, the evil powers that are at hand, are doing everything they can to make sure that it is.
00:57:57.640
Yeah, that's Ronnie, that's Donnie Samsung, that's, you know, Hiro Yamamoto, Tycho, you know, Lance Tycho, I think it is, or whatever it is, Jeff Bezos.
00:58:11.260
Uh, who's the other guy, Alan Tillamook or whatever, all of these fucks.
00:58:22.280
You don't do what they're doing to create a stable society.
00:58:25.200
Everything they're doing is intentionally being done to destabilize.
00:58:29.460
Uh, I'm flooding our country with people that aren't from here, that are from other countries, that don't share the culture, that, you know, in a lot of ways are not coming from stable places, not coming from places where you have, um, uh, a healthy society.
00:58:46.940
Yeah, you know, I, I agree with some of that, man.
00:58:50.160
I, you know, it's tough because you want your place to be a welcoming place.
00:58:57.940
You want your home to be a place that's welcoming, where the fireplace works and where there's food in the cupboard for somebody if they're hungry, that kind of place.
00:59:10.400
Um, but you also, you established a country with certain institutions and, and beliefs and, uh, you know, you know, rules.
00:59:26.980
You grow up honoring them and believing you're honoring a system, a greater system.
00:59:39.360
And then they make rules that don't, then they, they, you know, certain groups have certain desires.
00:59:53.560
Um, and after a while, I think it does leave some people who have been playing by trying or, you know, nobody's perfect, but I think trying to believe in the rules, believe in the systems, believe in, you know, who have been playing by the rules.
01:00:11.780
It leaves you feeling cheated, I think in some ways.
01:00:17.740
Now, this is also coming from a, I mean, I'm a semi-white, you know, I'm Polish Nicaraguan.
01:00:29.160
Um, but nothing's ever been handed to me in my life.
01:00:44.900
You want that, that, um, that diversity, or the adversity.
01:00:49.040
Um, but yeah, I think it's, it's definitely interesting, man.
01:00:53.460
It's definitely, it's now, it feels like America's now this, like, an LLC, like a shell corporation for these darker arts that are going on.
01:01:08.000
You know, and we used to be able to get upset at people as a group.
01:01:10.960
That, that's one thing that kind of burned me some.
01:01:12.820
Like, even after 9-11, it was like, well, you know, the media's like, well, you can't be mad at any of these countries.
01:01:17.640
You know, it's like, uh, it's like we, you know, with, uh, with the, um, the bat thing, proactive or whatever, uh, Corvid, with the, uh, coronavirus.
01:01:39.360
You used to be able to give, oh, fuck China, you could say.
01:01:42.760
Somebody made it, either some rich white people made it over there trying to fuck around, or somebody made it.
01:01:48.080
They're over there batting around, they're over there, you know, smoking dope and fucking eating badass or whatever, and now everybody here's got to wear a mask or tears.
01:01:58.900
But now there's like, you know, there's one Chinese guy on Twitter who's like, we, I didn't do it.
01:02:04.500
And so the media, they use that, they, it's like, you're not allowed to be, every, every other place is allowed to stand up for their beliefs and their rules.
01:02:20.360
And it feels like we're not allowed to stand up for ours sometimes.
01:02:24.040
And maybe that's just, maybe the truth is that we are.
01:02:34.780
And that doesn't mean I want to live in some type of unwelcoming place, but, um, but definitely the fabric and the textile of what I've always thought, like the pride I've had in, in a lot of Americanism, um, in the good parts of it, I feel like.
01:02:53.920
But, uh, man, that fabric's really been stretched in a lot of ways.
01:03:17.620
And, uh, yeah, so who, I mean, this could be, the problem, and now there's no other land of just being.
01:03:28.460
Maybe Australia, maybe that's why that guy called.
01:03:35.300
Um, but, I don't know, or maybe there'll be some type of revolution, or, you know, maybe, I don't know, or maybe everything's fine, and this is just my perception.
01:04:35.320
You know, you were asking, uh, in your last episode about,
01:04:39.420
if we think this is the end of America as we know it,
01:04:44.900
I think a lot of people are wondering that, or the United States as we know it.
01:04:55.280
the United States was an experiment from the beginning.
01:05:03.120
And, and, people from all around the world converged here.
01:05:10.360
But, people converged here, and it's been a melting pot.
01:05:14.080
We've called it a thing, and we, you know, we've called it a free nation.
01:05:21.040
But, honestly, it's been evolving since it began.
01:05:25.820
I mean, when it began, there wasn't much free about it for some people.
01:05:30.040
And, he's talking about the Chesapeake and the damn, uh, who else?
01:05:46.140
Um, and I think the same could be said for today.
01:05:51.620
I think the America that we see today is completely different than the one we saw
01:05:56.800
10 years ago, and that different from the one 20 years before it, and so on.
01:06:13.960
It's always been evolving, and it's always been an evolving thing.
01:06:18.580
That's one thing that's tough sometimes as a, as a human with a limited, uh,
01:06:31.200
I, if I'd have been alive for 700 years, I might have a different view on stuff.
01:06:41.220
But, I can't do that, because I can, my brain only thinks in this frame.
01:06:47.840
Which is such a limited thing about the existence we have, because we,
01:06:53.420
our, our, a lot of our perspective is based on just the, that 67, you know,
01:07:03.360
Whereas, man, if I could get my brain to know a thousand years,
01:07:07.300
it's 3,000 years, then it might be, wow, well, this is, okay,
01:07:17.960
I see something, oh, I see what's going on here.
01:07:22.180
Um, you know, and this, so, so, this stuff's just my perspective.
01:07:30.680
Uh, and that's good, and that's beautiful, man.
01:07:33.100
And, and that's, you know, everybody's allowed their own.
01:07:37.460
Um, but it did used to, I think it used to feel different.
01:07:50.960
Dude, we had some other great calls that came in.
01:08:12.300
And, uh, basically, I'm just calling for a little advice here.
01:08:15.600
Um, so, I'm 19 years old, and my dad just died.
01:08:25.820
Um, and, uh, like, in the course of a week, he just, uh, just got too sick.
01:08:30.420
And we took him to the hospital, and he passed away there.
01:08:36.240
Um, like, I've just been, like, real, like, drinking and smoking, and I don't know, I really don't know how to deal with it.
01:08:46.480
Um, I'm trying to stay away from those dark arts.
01:08:50.660
Um, so, yeah, man, if you got any advice on how to, like, deal with unexpected, uh, loss and, like, grieving, um, loss of a loved one, um, that'd be really helpful.
01:09:09.300
And, Tanner, that's a name they, uh, you know, you want to do some leather, you want to blackface some leather or whatever, darken up a leather.
01:09:21.400
So, you guys got a job, you're employed right out the womb, man, that's nice.
01:09:29.420
You know, different people, you know, they're employed.
01:09:31.880
Sammy, he gets to, you know, he gets to work at the Delicatessen.
01:09:35.560
Different people, that name has that built-in job.
01:09:40.840
Dude, I'm sorry for your loss, man, I really am.
01:09:49.120
And if you listen to this show, I think you're a good person, honestly.
01:09:52.400
And I say that because I just have a proof of meeting people that listen, or a part of this community that, honestly, are just a lot of good people, dude.
01:10:02.100
I mean, my mind and heart are blown away a lot.
01:10:14.560
And sometimes you got to burn that goat a little.
01:10:17.360
You know, sometimes you feel, you know, death, it gets in, it, it, that pain, you know.
01:10:26.780
I remember when my dad died, dude, I just, I think I was 16, you know, and I just, uh, I was so angry, man.
01:10:35.420
Um, that life had taken, you know, just that, I felt like I didn't have anything, and this, and then this got.
01:10:44.460
I think sometimes I felt even bad for, I don't know, uh, sorry, I'm trying to, I'm not gonna go into my own shit here.
01:11:06.560
I could have told by your voice, man, you sound like a, like a, you know, a decent guy.
01:11:13.640
Imagine what was going through his head, it must have just been scary, and I bet he's proud of you being 19.
01:11:22.200
He got to see you really kind of come into you, your arms getting longer, get a little facial hair.
01:11:35.260
And to have feeling, man, you're able to have these feelings.
01:11:40.000
And I don't know how to exactly deal with them.
01:11:45.740
You know, stay off that fentanyl, stay off of that.
01:11:49.960
Uh, but if you got to burn the devil's hand a little bit with some liquor,
01:11:53.220
or you got to burn the devil's hand with a cigarette or, uh, dope, a little dope cigarette, do it.
01:12:02.360
You know, uh, you know, you didn't, you're not an addict.
01:12:06.680
I mean, you didn't say you are, but you know what I'm saying?
01:12:16.720
You know, some of them, when life gives you pain, you just got to put that shit on the damn grill.
01:12:21.800
And some of them, that recipe is alcohol and cigarette and that.
01:12:35.360
You know, and I know this isn't real sentimental, maybe, or doesn't feel like it.
01:12:38.380
I'm having trouble probably getting into some of my feelings, but just want to let you know that you're thought of.
01:12:43.040
And, um, and it puts some things in perspective.
01:12:47.000
Because, you know, it's about what we can, what can we touch?
01:12:50.120
What can I, you know, yeah, there's all this, is American society changing?
01:12:55.220
And it's always been changing, where do we do, how do I do, what's, and then here you are.
01:13:05.580
You know, life still means something and we control what we can control.
01:13:09.720
And I hope you got some time with him to at least talk with him before he, uh, before he went on.
01:13:29.500
You will see him again and that will be a beautiful time, brother.
01:13:39.700
We're going to call up a single mom and we're going to, we're going to touch what we can control.
01:13:43.720
I want to thank our Patreon supporters, uh, for providing us the opportunity to, uh, do something nice for single moms.
01:13:51.280
Um, you know, we also, uh, any shows that we're selling tickets for, there will be, the first pre-sale will be on, uh, Patreon.
01:14:01.320
Um, I feel like that's kind of fair, uh, and then it'll go podcast and then it'll go, uh, to everyone.
01:14:10.700
So, um, so yeah, those will be the steps moving forward for show tickets being sold.
01:14:20.620
Um, somebody robbed our studio in Los Angeles, uh, and stole some cameras and stuff like that.
01:14:30.580
Still figuring out what was taken, uh, but we work with what we got.
01:14:36.940
Um, and yeah, I'm just grateful for you guys, man.
01:14:46.020
Uh, next week we're out in, uh, up in, uh, Portland, Maine, Burlington, Vermont, Albany, dude.
01:15:01.360
You guys coming out, bearing with me as I'm figuring out this new set.
01:15:06.740
I mean, it's, um, it's been an adventure though.
01:15:16.320
We got, let's give, let's give a call now to this.
01:15:22.000
Hey Theo, my name is Daniel and I'd like to nominate my best friend Jenny for the single
01:15:27.600
I believe that Jenny deserves this nomination because she's a great person, an amazing friend
01:15:33.340
Uh, she works in studies full time to become a massage therapist and to shape a better future
01:15:43.060
Uh, she taught me that no matter how life gets and how difficult shit may be, you just put
01:15:48.080
a smile on your face and keep going because nobody else got you and your loved ones besides
01:15:53.340
Uh, Jenny had a very rough upbringing that, uh, what I personally think would really break
01:15:59.000
a person, but she pulled herself out of the dirt and shaped herself to be the person that
01:16:05.040
Uh, she's an amazing role model for us in our friend group and we really love her to pieces.
01:16:10.620
Um, believe that this girl does deserve something amazing coming to her.
01:16:14.260
Um, I appreciate you letting me nominate her gang gang gang, baby.
01:16:19.660
Thank you very much for the nomination and that fellow beautiful guy right there looks
01:16:24.000
a little bit like you're in Vandersloot kind of, but, um, obviously healthier and doing
01:16:33.560
This guy's obviously, I want to say, um, I want to say Amish, but I think I'm, I could
01:16:39.280
be, I could be wrong and he could also be, I mean, shit, the guy could be, um, I'm
01:16:54.800
And that guy, a little bit of Canadian, a little bit of hidden white.
01:17:01.280
Um, she's in school full-time to become a massage therapist.
01:17:09.560
She's currently saving for a car to drive her daughter to daycare.
01:17:17.480
You know, a lot of times you got to know somebody that smokes cigarettes or somebody that, um,
01:17:22.680
you know, has been in a domestic dispute and is getting back on their feet.
01:17:26.420
It's even, I mean, those people usually that drive cabs or people, some people will leave
01:17:33.400
It used to be a man would leave his family and get into the tat and the cab business,
01:17:37.560
you know, and he'd be taking you somewhere and he'd be like, I had a daughter.
01:17:42.640
You're like, uh, I'm late for Bible study, sir.
01:18:03.640
I was not like in a weird way or anything like that.
01:18:24.400
And I work on a podcast and, um, we have some of our listeners sometimes submit like single
01:18:30.100
mothers that like, they just, we, we've kind of been doing it for a few years now and, and
01:18:34.840
people will submit single moms, uh, that they, that have really affected their life or touch
01:18:42.080
And I think this fellow might be from another country or continent.
01:18:44.940
I'm not sure, but, uh, he thinks the world of you.
01:18:49.120
And he just sent in a video and just said that we should give you a call and say, Hey,
01:19:00.820
I could see him having a little bit of hidden asshole in him.
01:19:03.280
And that seems to be, uh, you know, that's the American, that's just the, maybe that's
01:19:12.740
He's, um, he's actually Russian Israeli, but he lives here.
01:19:18.880
One of those snow Jews, they call him up there.
01:19:27.460
Have you guys ever been lovers or y'all are friends or what's his status?
01:19:34.340
Well, he obviously thinks a lot of you and you have a child up there with you.
01:19:51.880
Man, it's hard to get through the day without vaping.
01:20:14.200
Well, she's very crazy and right now she wants to be a pop star.
01:20:21.200
She likes to sing and dance and she's very into, we do a lot of like fake music festivals in our living room.
01:20:32.780
Yeah, my sister wanted to be a pop tart, I remember, when we were kids.
01:20:39.140
My other sister would put frosting on her back, I remember, sometimes.
01:20:45.760
But anyway, well, yeah, we just wanted to give you a call and say, hey, you know, on behalf of Daniel, who obviously thinks the world of you.
01:20:54.560
We're just going to give you $750 to go do something fun with your kiddo.
01:21:01.400
What does your kid like to do besides dancing in the living room?
01:21:07.220
If we went out somewhere, we'd probably go bowling.
01:21:09.580
She loves to bowl and loves to go to the arcades.
01:21:24.380
It just lasted for like 10 minutes, and then it was gone.
01:21:39.260
Well, look, we just wanted to say, yeah, happy early holidays.
01:21:42.480
And just on behalf of Daniel, we just wanted to say, hey, and good luck being a mom out there.
01:21:59.180
Janie with her daughter and that good sense of humor.
01:22:10.020
I'm lucky to be able to have a moment where, yeah, maybe they could do something fun.
01:22:15.180
You know, maybe they go spend some time together and they sit there and laugh or do ice cream or, you know, or just have a moment where they both feel pretty good together at the same time.
01:22:31.460
And if we can invest in little things like that together, then that's God, baby.
01:22:48.460
We'll do a, we will do a, we'll do an unboxing soon.
01:22:57.680
We got some gifts that have been piling up and some nice things that were sent.

Theo, after listening to your podcast, I feel like I can relate to some of the ways you feel.
01:23:06.360
One of the most difficult things is feeling you don't matter.
01:23:08.740
Almost like your pain or struggle is invisible.
01:23:11.440
I want you to know that you are seen, you are important, you are valued, you are loved, and you are enough.
01:23:15.780
Here's a small gift to serve as a reminder that you are okay.
01:23:19.140
Recently saw your show in Wilmington, Delaware.
01:23:31.100
We went to, I think, 8th, we went to, we went to 8th Baptist, I think.
01:23:43.340
Have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous, be not frightened, and be, do not be dismayed, for the Lord God is with you wherever you go.
01:23:54.200
Beautiful picture here of him and his spouse and gang gang, Brenda Lane.
01:24:16.440
Nobody in my life has made me feel more cared about, I don't think, than strangers.
01:24:26.360
And I say strangers, but I shouldn't have said that, but.
01:24:54.320
You know, a rat would do anything to get a little bit of damn soup on him.
01:25:17.340
This is like one of those bills that, you know.
01:25:22.380
It's like one of the bills going through Congress.
01:25:29.060
Everybody that's deaf gets a freaking, you know, a new jet.
01:25:37.400
And I bet it was a little lighter than before Tanner got a hold of it, huh?
01:25:49.820
I like to have me a little leather bracelet right there.
01:26:03.080
And I'm going to keep this card somewhere nice.
01:26:38.480
If you want to have some feeling, you want to sit right there in a damn rocking chair with your broken heart.
01:26:49.860
You can't listen to, if you're trying to get hyped or something, you're going to the arcade or you're going to do a little bit of sex or, you know, you stole a bicycle and you're going over to some girl's house or whatever to try and get a little cookie, you know?
01:27:10.340
But thank you guys for being a part of my life and be good to yourselves and you deserve that.
01:27:23.520
And to everybody that called, let's keep it going, man.
01:27:35.780
This is Evan Bartels, Lonesome, off the album Lonesome.
01:27:41.340
And, yeah, hit the hotline if you need something.
01:28:55.320
There's something in my head and my heart A part of me that always hurts
01:29:10.320
All my own, I tend to fall apart Am I more than you bargained for?
01:29:23.320
You don't have to say you're sorry If it's too hard for you to love me
01:29:45.320
When I get stuck in this condition You try to help, I try to listen
01:29:56.320
When I dissolve into my darkness Your heart breaks and I feel hopeless
01:30:04.320
It's not your fault if I can't hold on There's something in my head and my heart
01:30:25.320
On my own, I tend to fall apart Am I more than you bargained for?
01:30:44.320
You don't have to say you're sorry If it's too hard for you to love me.
01:30:49.320
That line frickin' grills me like a damn fish, baby.
01:31:05.320
Like nobody, like I never got the, I mean I don't know man.
01:31:11.320
Like I never got the proper apology for somebody not being able to love me the way I need it to be.
01:31:19.320
But then you realize you don't get the apology.
01:31:30.320
And the scariest thing is that those types of things can happen to us or we can feel like they happen to us.
01:32:17.320
And then the scariest thing is how do you do, how do you then move forward in your life and not do the same thing to other people?
01:32:24.320
You know, I've been going to this sex and love addiction thing recently and learning more about it and damn.
01:32:30.320
I just have a lot in that space of where, uh...
01:32:42.320
Anyway, this episode went a lot longer than I expected, man.
01:32:47.320
That's Evan Bartels off his new album, Lonesome.
01:32:58.320
If you want to go through your feelings, bro, like a damn...
01:33:07.320
He'll dial up the numbers straight to your damn soul right there.
01:33:10.320
He's got the 1-900 line straight to your damn soul.
01:33:17.320
