00:01:35.280
Today's guest is a man that has inspired me in my line of work since he got here.
00:01:46.880
And he is the popular host of one of my favorite podcasts called The Fighter and The Kid.
00:01:53.160
One of the first podcasts I was ever a guest on.
00:01:58.640
He has a new special out right now called Complicated Apes, which he says is his best work.
00:02:05.360
But more importantly than all of that, in a time when states are really starting to take back their stronghold from unified America,
00:02:15.000
we decided to have a March Madness where every state is up against every other state in an all-out war.
00:02:23.820
We've built the brackets on the back of our producer, Nick Davis.
00:02:28.160
We got little Gianni in here to freaking giggle in the distance.
00:02:31.620
We put together a March Madness this past weekend State Wars bracket.
00:02:38.140
And who better to help us break down the games and advance the states forward than the, just really one of the smartest guys I know.
00:02:53.400
Do you think there's going to come a time where there's that cutoff line?
00:03:11.800
And I was just talking to Joe about this the other night, where there's a cutoff line where there's people that can live forever and there's people that can't.
00:03:22.980
When you can download, when you can get a chip and you can download certain things in your brain,
00:03:28.120
you'll buy the software to learn how to fly a helicopter or to get your black belt in jujitsu.
00:03:35.640
And the more money you have, the more skills you'll have.
00:03:41.180
I wonder how fun it is when you have that skill base and you can speak a language fluently, whatever that language might be.
00:03:50.520
So if you didn't work for it, but you have that understanding, I'm not so sure.
00:03:56.260
I wonder what kind of benefit you get from that.
00:04:00.240
Like, do you glean the same kind of satisfaction?
00:04:05.080
Because it takes a long time to be good at something.
00:04:13.600
You develop understanding from spending a long time at something.
00:04:32.140
But no, yeah, it's like if everything just becomes, it's almost like a universal basic
00:04:37.480
It's like if everybody has it, is there any value?
00:04:41.700
You're just going to put the Spanish chip in when you get fucked up to be at a party and
00:04:49.780
When you look at Jocko Willick, you go, well, the guy was, he's a black belt in jujitsu.
00:04:56.940
He worked really hard at the art and intricate system of jujitsu and got downloaded enough
00:05:04.140
of the moves and stuff to be able to kind of cut you off before you make your move, whatever.
00:05:12.860
He's the San Diego double dragon, they call him.
00:05:16.600
And you can't double leg him because his legs are tree trunks.
00:05:20.200
They found an owl living in one of his legs the other day.
00:05:27.940
So you respect a guy like that because he's got scars because he's gone through some shit.
00:05:38.000
And that's attractive for a human being who's been through the fire, a baptism of fire.
00:05:49.080
So that's why you go to him to infer advice, but not the 21-year-old who's real good looking.
00:05:58.020
Some guy just fucking hanging out and drinking his own blood.
00:06:01.500
Dude, if I were 21, I'd be up all night jerking off in my own mouth these days, honestly.
00:06:08.880
Well, you can get, I think you can get transfusions.
00:06:12.960
You can get blood transfusions from young people.
00:06:19.700
I think the young, like you're saying it's going to be money.
00:06:25.120
Yeah, well, I think that the one thing man has always wanted.
00:06:36.760
And we do like horses, but we use them as tools.
00:06:39.300
What is the one thing man universally everywhere wants?
00:06:54.020
It's why we love our work, because we leave a legacy behind.
00:07:00.420
It's why being significant, especially for males, being significant is so fucking important.
00:07:05.900
And whenever you compare yourself, like you get depressed and you go, I don't know, I feel
00:07:11.900
Because you don't feel like you're significant.
00:07:13.680
You're not doing anything that makes you feel like you're leaving a mark.
00:07:16.240
I don't know if that's true, but sometimes that could be the case.
00:07:25.240
So immortality, we've always wanted to live forever.
00:07:28.640
So now with new longevity, drugs, and technology, holy fuck.
00:07:40.440
If you told me at 50 I was going to have the same energy as a 20-year-old?
00:07:47.680
Oh, your Fitbit, dude, the other day just fucking blew right off your wrist.
00:07:58.420
Two buckets of sand and a bamboo pole over my fucking back.
00:08:03.580
Somebody said that you had four shoulder blades.
00:08:07.060
It just looks that way because I got muscle on top of muscle.
00:08:10.160
I'm the first comedian to develop muscle on top of muscle.
00:08:14.060
That's why the doctor goes, I got nothing to say.
00:08:21.580
But he looked at my blood panel and goes, well, guess you're never going to die.
00:08:28.740
That's why you could sell my plasma on the black market for as much as rhino horn goes for.
00:08:48.400
This guy fucking obviously is a manager at a Chuck E. Cheese.
00:08:56.480
Thank you so much for always having me on Fighter and the Kid and for you guys always being so supportive.
00:09:06.000
We were talking about how great you are as a comic.
00:09:09.000
You, we were talking about you and who the fuck else were we talking about?
00:09:18.300
That was two 52-year-olds talking about you, young man.
00:09:50.380
You got to know a special mating call to even get him to show up.
00:10:00.100
He's on the 30th floor of his dreams right now.
00:10:02.360
And you and I are down here fucking around, but we need somebody who's educated.
00:10:07.660
So we, and I firmly believe we're headed back towards state government, you know, because
00:10:12.120
states are so different that in five years, ten years, we could see states, you know, just
00:10:17.320
building their own kind of walls or just delineating their own things that fit for their
00:10:28.240
We're going to go through at least the first outer round today.
00:10:43.780
The first, we split up the regions into West, Midwest, South, and East.
00:10:48.080
And, uh, in each region, the top four, roughly, populations got a buy.
00:10:54.660
So we kept some matchups we had to see in the first round, like North Dakota, South Dakota,
00:11:02.340
We really wanted to see those if we would have.
00:11:04.340
So there was some, some liberties taken by the selection committee, but here we are.
00:11:25.800
That's when we freaking sent Rappaport up the river, bro.
00:11:31.680
He put all of his ideas into a piece of gum and just stuck them under the fucking table.
00:11:35.300
If you need Rappaport, he's in the back of my sock drawer, motherfuckers.
00:11:43.120
Let's start in the upper left here, the Midwest.
00:11:45.980
Number five, Wisconsin versus number 12, Minnesota.
00:11:58.000
The difference is, Wisconsin's got a lot of Irish and a lot of other things, a lot of
00:12:03.360
whiskey going on, a lot of cheese, and a lot of junk food.
00:12:09.800
If you know anything about the history of Minnesota, the people from Scandinavia, especially
00:12:16.780
Now, they take to wheat, and they take to milk, and they take to farming right good.
00:12:22.740
And they're not afraid of those cold Minnesota winters.
00:12:26.240
On top of the fact that they're super organized.
00:12:30.540
And if you're not ready for the winter, and you don't have a sense of time and organization,
00:12:34.120
if you don't understand how to fucking follow rules, which means march in lockstep, lock
00:12:39.860
and load when you're told to, and let loose when you're told to, if the cold does not bother
00:12:44.920
them, and they got big Scandinavian hands that can hold swords and guns and clubs and whatever
00:13:06.780
You want a lot of gay men there and women that'll survive a winter.
00:13:10.580
We're not talking about these summer homeowners.
00:13:21.960
Now, here's the other thing you don't know about Minnesota, all right?
00:13:26.460
Minnesota has some food that grows out there in the water.
00:13:36.120
So now you're starving, but don't worry about that because you go and rake those ponds and
00:14:05.700
But my dad's a tough guy, but he's got too much Irish.
00:14:15.040
He doesn't have that Norwegian, you know, Norwegians tend to be more veed out.
00:14:23.540
Let's go to what we had a video submission from someone who has an insight.
00:14:27.280
So I think Wisconsin would definitely win in a war.
00:14:29.900
Um, just because we've got a ton of serial killers, man.
00:14:41.620
You put a badger on a leash, you send that thing out for someone, you're screwed, man.
00:14:53.420
Serial killers are, you can't control them and they end up killing their own troops.
00:14:57.780
Because they wake up at night and they see all their, all their buddies sleeping.
00:15:03.940
So the next thing you know, Jeffrey Dahmer's eating everybody and cut everybody's throat.
00:15:07.760
You cut everybody's throat and you catch them drinking everybody's blood.
00:15:09.580
You're like, dude, you just killed your entire fucking platoon.
00:15:17.640
And by that time, my Minnesotans have moved in.
00:15:20.880
Wisconsin, you have Ron Dane and Nick Davis is from there.
00:15:27.080
That's just a weird conspiracy because in my hometown of La Crosse, Wisconsin, over the
00:15:30.500
past 10 to 15 years, 10 to 15 drunk college guys have just wandered into the river and
00:15:45.860
Is that where La Crosse was invented because it was a Native American invention?
00:15:52.220
And it's actually a place where three rivers meet.
00:16:12.920
I think if I had any thoughts on that, I think you even just said it.
00:16:16.140
People are drunk wandering in the rivers when they're supposed to be learning.
00:16:22.660
You're here to learn and you fucking can't even learn a stat of a river when you've been
00:16:40.540
I did live in Minnesota for eight years and went to University of Minnesota, so.
00:16:51.380
Well, I mean, Missouri, Missouri is all good, but see, Missouri is basically, it's kind
00:16:57.760
of like a state you forget about, all due respect.
00:17:02.140
It's kind of a state, when you think of Missouri, you think about wide open
00:17:11.860
Might be the worst town in the world, but anyway.
00:17:18.540
So you're not going to get black people to be like, hey, come fight our war.
00:17:22.060
They're going to be like, I got my own war to deal with, motherfucker.
00:17:26.600
You haven't been supporting me, so kiss my ass.
00:17:28.540
Yeah, I'm fending off nine people by this Hardee's over here already.
00:17:37.700
Now, Kentucky's where the Hatfields and McCoys come from.
00:17:40.520
Don't forget that Kentucky is where it was settled by the Highlanders of Northern England.
00:17:49.860
By shepherds, which comes from an honor culture.
00:17:56.180
Kentucky was basically in a low-grade civil war.
00:17:59.380
I mean, the Hatfields and McCoys came from Kentucky.
00:18:03.040
You had a good chance of getting killed in Kentucky if you came from somewhere else, if you weren't polite.
00:18:08.860
God help you if you got it on with another man's woman.
00:18:13.600
Because you solved your problems with a knife or a gun, and that goes back to the beginning of our country in Kentucky.
00:18:21.240
In those fucking hills, in the hills of Kentucky, you want to get yourself a big old army?
00:18:30.000
They can't fucking wait, and all they need is a common enemy to get together.
00:18:34.700
Because when you're from Kentucky, everybody else is from somewhere else.
00:18:41.980
Now, keep in mind, they always have some whiskey in their body at all times.
00:18:49.640
But Missouri, they're a little more God-fearing.
00:18:57.520
They'll go to church, but it's a little bit like taking a stone and dropping it in a well.
00:19:01.140
You can keep that stone in a well for as long as you want.
00:19:03.280
When you break that stone open, water is only on the outside.
00:19:09.500
God doesn't much permeate into the hillbillies.
00:19:21.720
So do not fuck with people in Kentucky, because they will fight you right now.
00:19:32.960
And just give them a long gun for the two of them.
00:19:41.880
In fact, Kentucky goes to war with Missouri, and Missouri becomes Kentucky.
00:19:50.160
I'm going to say, again, I was in East St. Louis, and there was a Ramada.
00:19:53.300
And while I was there, it got taken over by, I don't even know what it was.
00:20:02.960
Suddenly, there was just a bunch of people working at the front desk that didn't even
00:20:10.220
I would have to say Kentucky, too, on that one, man.
00:20:19.680
Well, that's, you, so, with river access, you can ship mercenaries in, but mercenaries
00:20:27.280
Kentucky would just turn around and go, hey, guys, don't have much money, but I got all
00:21:15.140
I got a special place in my heart for Kentucky.
00:21:31.480
I secretly say that among my friends, you know?
00:21:34.600
I know nobody's listening right now, so I can say this to you.
00:21:37.080
Oh, this is safe between you and me and his wife.
00:21:43.160
He's going to cunt their way right into the second one.
00:21:48.300
The minute they're done kneeling in church, they-
00:21:55.420
This thing's only open six days a week, you know?
00:22:09.640
And the men, though, I feel like coming a little bit-
00:22:28.840
Now, let me tell you what a man in Kentucky does.
00:22:40.940
It's the only place I've ever had a guy try to fight me for no reason.
00:23:00.620
You know, not that that matters, but it also matters.
00:23:04.560
Remember back in Vaudeville, the Vaudeville weightlifters?
00:23:07.020
There's like those people that wear the one strap and the thing and it said a thousand
00:23:15.960
And she was on the side of the bed doing fucking like, I don't know what she was doing,
00:23:21.540
burpees or something while me and the one girl were having sex.
00:23:23.560
And they didn't even really know each other that good.
00:23:26.580
So they were also trying to get to know each other.
00:23:29.960
My friend had a scale and one of those old school scales where you can measure somebody's
00:23:42.540
And I respect a man who's not afraid if someone was thick.
00:23:45.640
He put her on that scale and he called me up the next day and he said, she came in at
00:23:51.840
And she looked up at me and I looked at her and I said, those numbers are not good.
00:24:08.360
That's like when your van breaks down outside of a golden corral, you got to eat there a
00:24:13.280
Or are there any other first round matchups that you really have a strong inclination
00:24:45.180
Realize that if that was what D1 wrestling was, I didn't have it.
00:24:53.200
Did I go back to my high school and crush everybody my senior year?
00:25:22.220
And whoever has the bigger population is who you go with in a war.
00:25:25.620
But I want to also know the land elevation of both.
00:25:32.340
Because when you got higher elevation, you got better wind.
00:25:46.920
Sorry to interrupt this state fight, but I have to ask, is there something that interferes with your happiness or that is preventing you from achieving your goals?
00:25:57.120
If so, BetterHelp Online Counseling is there for you.
00:26:02.360
BetterHelp offers licensed professional counselors who are specialized in issues such as depression, stress, anxiety, anger, grief.
00:26:16.860
Connect with your professional counselor in a safe and private online environment.
00:26:22.220
Anything you share is confidential and it's so convenient.
00:26:25.740
I've used BetterHelp and I found it to work for me.
00:26:28.680
Get help at your own time and at your own pace.
00:26:32.960
You can schedule secure video or phone sessions plus chat and text with your therapist.
00:26:37.860
I had a moment where I had to go to an event and I just wasn't feeling great and I was able to set up an appointment with my therapist, actually pull over on the side of the road and have a FaceTime conversation with them.
00:26:51.640
So, BetterHelp really can facilitate these different options.
00:26:56.100
If you're not happy with your counselor, you can request a new one at any time.
00:27:01.720
And this past weekend, listeners, get 10% off your first month with discount code THEOVON.
00:27:17.380
Now, if you have a therapist and that's working for you, then stick with that.
00:27:21.480
And if you don't need help and you're doing great, then that's awesome.
00:27:26.240
But if you do need help, I just wanted you to know that BetterHelp is an option.
00:27:30.480
Simply fill out a questionnaire to help them assess your needs and get matched up with a counselor you'll love.
00:27:44.420
If we go population for all the matchups, it's gonna be a quick, quick March Madness.
00:27:50.840
I'm only using population in this instance because they're so similar.
00:28:00.460
Yeah, if you were in Iowa, they got the same stuff Nebraska's got, you know?
00:28:05.180
Except people in Iowa say they're in Iowa and people in Nebraska say they're in Nebraska.
00:28:09.300
That's the only difference between a lot of them.
00:28:19.920
So you can have more things, you know, that aerial.
00:28:43.120
Dude, when you give fucking Milo and your fucking elbows, it's a wrap.
00:28:54.780
Yeah, that's because a million more people's a lot.
00:28:59.940
Let's round out the first round in the Midwest.
00:29:06.940
I think you go North Dakota because they're colder, and people from colder climates are
00:29:13.980
They are also closer to Canada, though, so they're more polite.
00:29:17.960
So they say sorry after they punch you, probably.
00:29:20.700
You know there's some Canada juice rolled into the North Dakotans.
00:29:25.360
A little bit of that seeping down a little bit.
00:29:30.180
We had regular syrup, then we went up to Canada and got a little simple around there.
00:29:35.560
So if the Badlands are where I think they are, you go North Dakota.
00:29:40.020
Yeah, you don't get a name like that from just fucking having regular lands, bro.
00:29:43.160
These lands have fucking been an after-school detention.
00:29:50.900
Yeah, because I could see some of that kindness from Canada slipping in.
00:30:01.560
Jesse, the guy that was on The Bachelor, I think.
00:30:06.900
Everybody named Jesse and Jesse, they're all from that area.
00:30:11.680
They don't even give a fuck how they're spelled.
00:30:14.260
They'll do whatever they got to do to fuck you up.
00:30:20.220
And one of them's no Dakota and one of them's so Dakota.
00:30:27.140
That does it for the first round of the Midwest.
00:30:35.680
And this is what it's like, bro, even at a government level.
00:30:38.780
It's a couple of fucking moonbeams sitting around on top of Eddie Bravo's fucking darkest
00:30:43.840
dreams, just pointing fingers and deciding who does what, man.
00:31:03.480
Delaware took me five minutes to drive through.
00:31:08.240
The thing is, Delaware could be just taken over by Maryland and you would never notice.
00:31:22.820
It's not even really named after much, I feel like.
00:31:31.020
We got Michael Phelps, most athletic guy in the world.
00:31:35.560
He murdered someone once and got away with it, bro.
00:31:43.340
Trump will nuke every single state that tries to fuck with us.
00:31:54.400
He's the most athletic person in the world, and fucking...
00:31:57.520
How dare you say the White House is in Maryland, you non-American?
00:32:08.540
How the fuck do you do a video lying there, like, looking all cuddly and cozy?
00:32:13.080
You, when you were young, we got this out of a time cap that you did in high school.
00:32:21.920
I feel like Delaware would just kind of hide in the corner somewhere, like, under a table,
00:32:25.760
and then when the coast is clear, they'd pop out.
00:32:34.620
Wise's right hand all curled up on his chest like a little cutie pie.
00:32:42.580
That little piece of silk cloth his mom gave him.
00:32:47.340
He's got a little blankie, a little baby blankie.
00:32:49.280
Dude, Marilyn, you have Baltimore, the opioid epidemic.
00:33:04.160
You get those gangsters in Baltimore, and they'll take over Delaware.
00:33:08.280
Bro, you get a couple sisters hopped up on some fucking lump crab and give them a fucking
00:33:20.400
But also, silverware, Delaware, you're a product.
00:33:38.000
Here's the thing about Rhode Island people don't realize.
00:33:40.400
Providence, Rhode Island is the last gangster town.
00:33:43.260
Providence, Rhode Island is so mafia heavy and so heavily run by the mafia, Rhode Island
00:33:56.240
They have trebuchets over there in Connecticut.
00:34:07.060
We had those little trebuchets, and you put it in front of you and just shoot a little bit
00:34:18.440
So Connecticut has their generals and their upper brass.
00:34:28.060
You're not getting into Providence because they run it from Providence.
00:34:42.060
They know everything about you before anything happens.
00:34:53.720
Connecticut's going to need insurance after Rhode Island's done with it.
00:35:05.840
Yeah, I saw a guy get bit by a dog in fucking Providence, dude.
00:35:20.460
And there's a dark dog underworld over there, too, dude.
00:35:26.000
Um, I'll go with Providence, bad boy, Rhode Island.
00:35:45.920
Driving around in Volkswagens, listening to the Grateful Dead, bro.
00:35:51.820
They are too high and too liberal to do anything.
00:35:57.720
I could beat up that whole fucking state alone.
00:36:00.140
I need a small club and, uh, I don't know, a piece of meat because they'd run from it.
00:36:05.640
I would love that movie, Brian Callum versus Vermont.
00:36:29.400
He's a closet communist and so are all Vermont-ins.
00:36:39.280
My first love was from Burlington, from Lake Champlain.
00:36:54.100
And I know there are people out there that are, you know, there are farmers out there,
00:37:02.220
When they say, ask me a question that ends in yes, where I got to say yes.
00:37:07.480
Do you have a lot of different senior diseases?
00:37:19.800
So West Virginia, those fucking, those rednecks in West Virginia, they come into Vermont and
00:37:43.400
If you fart in Vermont and everybody doesn't smell it a little, it doesn't count.
00:37:59.120
They had that good coach and they fucking let him go.
00:38:08.660
Vladimir Lenin, who was essentially the founder of the Communist Revolution.
00:38:20.360
New Hampshire versus Maine to close out the East.
00:38:26.180
You got, first of all, you got a lot of celebrity money living off the coast up there.
00:38:32.680
John Travolta sneaks up there with young men from the mainland.
00:38:45.520
The people who used to wail, they come from Maine.
00:38:54.020
60 different berries that will fucking kill you.
00:39:03.160
There's pictures of people laying on fucking sharp beaches in the summer.
00:39:11.780
And they can shoot over their own state and into Maine with those fucking submarines.
00:39:16.700
They got, dude, and first of all, how do you even get to Maine?
00:39:19.360
You know how hard it is going to be to get there to fight them?
00:39:30.000
I used to go to, again, I spent my summers in New Hampshire.
00:39:35.020
I went to summer camp up in Lake Winnipesaukee.
00:39:38.440
That lake was so clean you could drink out of it.
00:39:45.700
I grew up next to that tuberculosis sipper that you funked a river, baby.
00:39:53.440
When you grew up, you jump in that water, you catch chlamydia.
00:40:03.040
You got an STD and you got eye infections for the rest of your life.
00:40:09.020
But can you get pink eye from your own butt or not?
00:40:14.500
You can't be digging around in your butt and then scratching your eye.
00:40:18.760
So that does it for the East Region first round.
00:40:22.800
And the little Gianni over here, who's a fucking, he's going to be in a movie with Olivia Smart
00:40:34.280
Are you in my special Complicated Apes that's now everywhere you can rent or buy?
00:40:44.740
I love the fact that we call him Johnny, too, now.
00:40:47.500
But you know how they spell it where he's from?
00:40:56.740
Look at the stem cells in that little motherfucker, bro.
00:41:00.940
Dude, I'd suck his dick just to feel better, bro.
00:41:08.540
I played hockey growing up a lot, like for probably 18 years.
00:41:19.020
With Brentwood Shaw over there he goes in the morning.
00:41:40.880
Dude, first of all, when you're skating on fucking water,
00:41:50.080
No, I'm talking about you putting up some numbers.
00:41:58.180
You got some speed, but I'm not liking where your hand is when you're throwing.
00:42:08.280
Weight's on your front foot a little bit too much.
00:42:10.180
I like the way you're leaning forward there, but that's all right.
00:42:12.660
Yeah, Dustin Poirier would beat your ass, though.
00:42:20.580
So if he ends up in a wheelchair, he'll still be fine.
00:42:27.960
Dude, it's easy to get around when you can slide on the surface.
00:42:31.720
I want to know what sports did you play growing up?
00:43:01.740

00:46:08.400
All right, let's move on to the South region, bro.
00:46:14.140
It gets sticky because you got a lot of cortisol in the air.
00:46:26.380
Man, I'm going Tennessee because Tennessee's even more Southern.
00:46:40.580
Yeah, you went to elementary school, didn't you?
00:46:41.940
Yeah, but Virginia, remember, I believe Alexandria, Virginia,
00:46:50.960
And it's the capital of the Confederacy, I believe, is in Virginia.
00:46:55.420
Virginia, I might have to go Virginia because they got the intelligence.
00:46:58.940
They already got all the intelligence, the topography of Tennessee.
00:47:06.820
And Virginia also has most presidents buried in any graveyard is in Virginia.
00:47:13.620
If somebody's able to arouse the dead to enforce the troops,
00:47:18.840
they're going to have leadership like no other.
00:47:23.260
I think it's actually called Hollywood Cemetery.
00:47:30.740
You got all kinds of shady shit that goes on there, man.
00:47:33.600
You got a lot of universities in Virginia, too.
00:47:48.560
But then, bro, if you go to Tennessee, man, my mother used to live in Tennessee.
00:47:59.060
You can get into some guerrilla warfare in the Blue Hills, Tennessee.
00:48:06.700
You get in them Smoky Mountains, and here's the thing.
00:48:19.920
They put up a defense, but they're living in the woods.
00:48:26.160
What they do is when you're in the woods fighting, you got to leave your kids and your wife behind.
00:48:32.600
And they just corral them up, and they just put them in a camp, and they say, listen,
00:48:38.940
we're not going to feed them until you guys come out of the woods.
00:48:42.760
That's what they did in the Boer Wars, or the British did to the Boers.
00:49:01.560
The people are always wrong, and we're here to correct the people.
00:49:14.800
You all vote for something, but then some fella sitting by an American flag next to a piece of electricity
00:49:32.120
And when you've got a river, you can move provisions.
00:49:41.980
But they've got to go through Louisiana to get to the end of the river, first of all.
00:49:45.060
So they're going to have to deal with a little bit of Louisiana.
00:50:03.980
They used to have a lot of good football players, but not as many as they used to.
00:50:06.680
Now, Alabama, you have Nick Saban, first of all, could be the coach of your entire army.
00:50:21.420
Now, there are more alligators in Mississippi, but that just means more of your guys are getting
00:50:29.160
Plus, you've got malaria when the whole grid breaks down.
00:50:32.300
You know, there's more water in Mississippi, so everybody's got malaria.
00:50:34.680
You've got malaria Jackson over there, too, dude.
00:50:44.480
I just wanted to start by saying, man, my home state of Alabama would most definitely
00:50:49.000
win if there was ever a war to break out between the states.
00:50:52.520
Reason being, man, we've got Kay Ivey as governor.
00:51:01.540
Look, really, we have some of the hardest workers you'll ever find in the state, man.
00:51:05.660
Some of the most down-to-earth people willing to give you the shirt off their back, but also
00:51:09.720
willing to stand up and fight for their values.
00:51:18.860
We were raised on that whole milk and that biscuits and gravy.
00:51:41.260
He's got his boundaries and he knows exactly, he knows exactly what he's willing to fight
00:51:46.140
A man defines himself on what he's willing to fight for.
00:51:57.660
You give him the shirt, he'll give you the shirt off his back, but don't push him, don't
00:52:02.500
He'll give you the shirt off his back, dude, but if you want his scarf, dude, you're going
00:52:13.000
And Mississippi, I think, just still a little too much.
00:52:18.720
Dude, there's still people, some guys, you know, think they're still enslaved down there.
00:52:22.640
I bet you most people can't spell Mississippi down in Mississippi.
00:52:30.560
But very good recipes, but that kind of stuff's just going to get your troops.
00:52:42.080
A lot of old school money, a lot of young people getting on opioids because the daddy owned
00:52:46.700
the cot and this and that, and the kids aren't doing much.
00:52:49.700
A lot of, you know, a lot of their best assets a lot of times leave to go to other places
00:52:56.660
Unfortunately, and hopefully that changes, and I think it is, but not today.
00:53:04.660
I can't believe 24% of people fought Mississippi.
00:53:18.700
See, the more South you go, the more guns there are.
00:53:22.600
A lot of guns in North Carolina, and I love both states, but I'm going South Carolina.
00:53:27.680
Like, man, I think right now in North Carolina, you got Zion Williamson over there, dude.
00:53:32.700
You have University of North Carolina, you have Duke, you have Wake Forest, you have a little bit more education.
00:53:43.360
But they might fight more strategically, though.
00:53:45.920
Now, but I went to school in Charleston, South Carolina for a semester, and I hitchhiked up there, actually, from a boating regatta down in Biloxi, Mississippi, and slept on a man's couch for a while.
00:53:57.120
I almost got arrested petting a cat on some lady's porch.
00:54:03.080
That's when you're at that fucking moment where you're like, who am I?
00:54:05.920
You know, you're standing outside of a sleeping woman's window petting a cat, dude.
00:54:10.300
That's when you, thankfully, I put the cat down, and I fucking left.
00:54:14.400
Oh, well, after that, there's not much left to do except crime.
00:54:19.180
Now, you shouldn't have had your pants down around your ankles.
00:54:23.740
Now, I wore two belts when I went over there just so I'd have to think twice before I did anything.
00:54:29.560
South Carolina, you have a lot of sailing and stuff over there.
00:54:34.100
They used to have one of the largest indentured servant markets was right there in Charleston.
00:54:40.580
You have cannons already lining the walls there.
00:54:45.160
You know, they pronounce it with a P in it, but it doesn't even have a P in it.
00:54:50.380
Yeah, and if you don't say Clemson, they get P-ist, bro.
00:54:57.120
So that's the kind of psychology you're dealing with.
00:55:01.600
Wow, you just fucking convinced somebody of something?
00:55:12.020
I mean, I think you just – you gave a really compelling argument.
00:55:14.840
I had North Carolina before, but after all that, I can't even – I was just thinking
00:55:18.380
about all the colleges, Michael Jordan, the athletes, but –
00:55:22.240
You got his blood still running in the streams over there.
00:55:26.200
Jordan – like Artie Lang said it best about Michael Jordan.
00:55:31.400
He said if Michael Jordan had been on the Titanic, it would not have sunk.
00:55:35.440
He would have been plugging holes with his own hands.
00:55:38.860
So if Michael comes back to run his army, I don't know.
00:55:48.020
Well, he bought the Charlotte Bobcats and they fucking sunk.
00:55:56.620
I'll go South Carolina too on this one, man, with the upset.
00:56:06.400
There's a lot of fancy kids that can't get into some of these – the Ivy Leaguers.
00:56:10.480
They end up in these bootleg schools pretending that those are Ivy League.
00:56:14.800
UNC is one of my – you know, God bless the heels.
00:56:17.580
My mother went to Duke and I respect them, but – and that's not really one of them,
00:56:21.020
but also Cornell, you know, they'll put them out – or University of Indiana,
00:56:25.920
they'll pretend like that's, you know, not where the Ku Klux Klan started.
00:56:30.280
Or there's just other schools that they use a lot of times, you know.
00:56:53.180
I was about to say – I was about to say the dark arts of voodoo.
00:57:12.060
There's shit in Louisiana you don't even know about.
00:57:14.540
They got every poisonous snake in the world, including cobras, probably.
00:57:18.140
Dude, they have a rat that can catch a frisbee there, and that's a Nutreo right there, bro.
00:57:22.240
And look, you can eat them, dude, if you want to die.
00:57:30.520
It's the only place they are from, and yes, they came over on slave ships, man.
00:57:52.280
You got a lot of dirty minds bubbling up over there.
00:57:55.300
And there's like veins under the – see, when you go to Louisiana, you see Louisiana.
00:58:07.080
There's an artery of shit that gets done where you don't see things.
00:58:10.800
There's all kinds of shit that goes on that you don't see in Louisiana.
00:58:13.900
Oh, Huey P. Long, who was supposed to be the next president-elect, possibly, was gunned
00:58:19.960
down in the state capitol, man, in the 60s there.
00:58:22.940
You have a lot of famous politicians have gone to jail there for crimes.
00:58:31.940
Arkansas hasn't been good since they had Norm Richardson running shit over there.
00:58:35.960
Will Wade at least got busted this year over at Louisiana State University for fucking
00:58:42.940
I didn't know that because Arkansas is one of those states I always forget about.
00:58:54.700
If they're not going to help you over there, we'll help you over here, guys.
00:59:42.000
First of all, everyone is going to be fitted to the –
00:59:45.020
It's a bunch of white people with bad tattoos and sensible shoes.
00:59:54.660
Plus, it's always raining and they're depressed.
00:59:56.740
Some homeless guy, if a homeless guy falls asleep on you, you can't wake him up in Portland.
01:00:02.960
It's crazy because they might be dreaming and you might scare them.
01:00:06.180
So Oregon, for me, is like a place that, again, it's just too liberal.
01:00:16.620
But overall, you got to take into account it's just too progressive to fight a war.
01:00:24.920
They'd have sit-ins and they'd have to deal with their own fucking protests.
01:00:35.120
Even if you don't want to be – you'll be having dinner and a fucking log will just fall right
01:00:38.720
off a mountain and roll right through your kitchen.
01:00:41.880
But that's old repository from back in the day.
01:00:45.540
Like, Oregon is basically guys with fancy beards and waxed mustaches.
01:00:53.260
Like, you know, they have beer tastings and coffee tastings.
01:00:57.600
Every other beer, you need to make a fucking knife, homie.
01:01:21.700
A lot of people dress like they're looking for gold, but not looking for gold.
01:01:33.040
It's a cool town, but it's just too waterlogged.
01:01:35.820
I mean, Idaho and Montana, first of all, that's where the war begins between those guys
01:01:41.760
But Montana, see, both states are real sunny, so they got a lot of energy and a lot of vitamin D.
01:01:52.580
Yeah, but Idaho has got too much East Coast, West Coast money and just too many pussies.
01:02:05.740
One of their best places was a guy proposed to his wife on the field.
01:02:17.820
Montana beats the fucking shit out of both those states, bro.
01:02:35.080
We're talking about every pistol you can think of and every shotgun you can think of and every hunting rifle.
01:02:39.800
You're talking about guys who've been shooting deer and everything else through a scope.
01:02:46.080
They're taking out your whole fucking front line and your command structure.
01:02:51.720
They have scopes passed down from generation to generation.
01:02:58.800
They'll shoot you when you're in fucking Idaho, bro.
01:03:03.440
Bro, you'll be filling your fucking little mule bag up with water.
01:03:11.000
They'll shoot the fucking nuts right out of your fucking body, dude.
01:03:19.400
Due to some limitations of Instagram, we don't have a poll for this one.
01:03:37.100
We're talking people that are looking for the Lord.
01:03:40.800
I want to go back to Idaho and Montana for a second.
01:03:51.100
They live in the ground, which means that's a crop.
01:04:08.400
Yeah, but you got to feed them potatoes au gratin.
01:04:21.700
Since you say that, they also have the second largest...
01:04:25.900
They make most of the sugar in America comes out of Idaho from beets.
01:04:34.580
They got that one guy smoking in the commercials.
01:04:36.440
Well, now, Montana, you got to kill your own game.
01:04:48.540
Yeah, hey, have these Montana fucking cherries.
01:04:58.020
If you eat them with the skin, they're super nutritious.
01:05:26.260
Nevada has too much money going around in it to go easy.
01:05:36.000
Are some of those people going to slip over there?
01:05:38.620
Cheyenne, Jackson Hole, you got a lot of fancy people moving up there to ski.
01:05:42.760
It's become the new Utah in a lot of ways, like rich people moving out there, hiding.
01:06:00.040
Now, Utah, dude, you have people that went there.
01:06:02.880
You got religious people that are motivated by religion, and that is powerful.
01:06:09.640
Most of the movements in the world have been religious-motivated movements, I think.
01:06:25.440
But then Nevada does have Las Vegas, and there's a lot of money.
01:06:32.640
See, Nevada's way wealthier than I would imagine both states.
01:06:38.040
The Mormons have a lot of money in the church, though.
01:06:43.140
Salt Lake City, you pass through the tabernacle area, bro.
01:06:47.960
If you say you're a Mormon, they're Mormon, bro.
01:06:50.020
I've seen fucking a four-year-old marrying a fucking 19-year-old.
01:06:52.540
Here's the other thing you don't know about Utah and Mormons.
01:07:00.140
So you got a shitload of Samoans and Tongans, maybe the toughest people ever.
01:07:09.440
Enjoy fighting an army of men and women, because Tongan women are stronger than the average
01:07:18.640
Dude, I saw a Tongan guy get hit by a spear, bro, and he giggled a little.
01:07:35.820
Bro, sometimes at the airport, if their flight gets delayed, you'll see 60 or 70 of them sleeping
01:07:42.600
I mean, you got to be quiet when you go by them.
01:07:47.140
One in four Tongans in the U.S. calls Utah home.
01:07:55.020
You think people aren't going to fucking go to bat?
01:08:01.840
So Utah, because you got the volunteers, and not just for fighting, but also for meal
01:08:10.880
The ability to organize, not just gatherings, but also any construction projects we would
01:08:19.680
We could just do construction on all the roads into Utah, and then no non-Utah drivers will
01:08:35.920
So no state terrain would be a foreign battleground to us.
01:08:46.360
The religious jealousy of that could rival the Crusades, maybe.
01:08:52.960
And if the Mormons are on it, then you know we got the funds.
01:09:00.740
I could see her looking out at the just millions of Mormons in front of her as she made that
01:09:13.100
And you could see, she blinked twice in a minute and a half.
01:09:24.800
Sorry to mention another podcast on this podcast.
01:09:45.160
Now, there's a lot of stuff out there, you know, that different comedians got their
01:09:51.800
You know, Dice says that Sebastian took his style.
01:10:34.440
But just understand, I'm his biggest influence.
01:10:46.540
When I think of him, I think of him like soaring in the sky, right?
01:10:54.560
There's a man on a mountaintop and he has that thing on his arm with a piece of fucking meat
01:11:01.580
And what you also don't see is a very thin piece of fishing wire that's attached to his
01:11:11.680
So anytime I want to yank him out in the sky, when he's soaring, it's not a problem for
01:11:18.540
When he's out there with his fucking guy, that little Lenocci, that guy, that fucking bootleg
01:11:38.800
So I'm not saying anything, but a lot of people were just adopted.
01:12:06.440
When he sees Craig and he sees Lenocci and his other buddy, he's like, hey, look,
01:12:10.100
hey, guys who are extras in a movie, what's going on?
01:12:14.920
Hey, guys who are extras in every single movie you ever see, what's going on?
01:12:24.420
Lenocci is not Italian, but he's funny as fuck.
01:12:26.220
I want to get him on Fighter and the Kid, but I would, but he's, you know.
01:12:32.740
I go, I can't have you on because, you know, just ratings-wise, we're with mid-roll.
01:12:44.700
Look, it's the same thing the parents told him that adopted.
01:12:50.460
Well, he got adopted by a family that still did some light vaudeville kind of stuff, and
01:12:59.040
I knew a Navy SEAL who grew up in a circus, traveling circus, and he goes, SEALs was easy for me.
01:13:09.460
Two more, and we're going to be, we'll be, and we'll shut it down for this first round,
01:13:16.140
Now, I'm going to be in Kansas City this weekend.
01:13:21.480
Now, I'll be at the Kansas City Improv Friday, Saturday.
01:13:25.120
Now, I'll tell you about my Philly dates the next weekend, but we're sold out and probably
01:13:31.580
And I could tell you about my Calgary shows on the 4th, 5th, and 6th at Yuck Yuck, but
01:13:47.620
Now, I'm going to say some things about Kansas.
01:14:10.980
A couple things about New Mexico you need to understand.
01:14:26.720
I'm not sure which one I'm going to be in because I went bad on Missouri.
01:14:51.440
In the Spanish-American War, the one thing that a lot of the Saxon, the white American fighters
01:14:58.240
would always comment on is on the bravery of the Mexican fighter.
01:15:03.060
And there's something in the Mexican blood that they are a brave, hardworking people.
01:15:16.200
I talk about this in my special, Complicated Apes.
01:15:23.360
If I had to fight a man from Mexico and a man from France and I knew nothing about either
01:15:27.300
one, law of averages says to go with Pierre every time, right?
01:15:31.860
So Mexico, like when you watch fight, they don't, I don't, I've never seen one, I don't
01:15:36.360
think they teach, in the Russian and Mexican school of fighting, they don't teach you how
01:15:53.100
Think about how many great fighters are from Mexico or of Mexican origin.
01:16:06.200
So, look at Juan, I mean, Marquez, one of the greatest fighters of all time.
01:16:21.880
So, so, so, and you also got one more thing going for you in New Mexico.
01:16:25.200
I think Los Alamos, where they made that nuclear bomb.
01:16:36.060
Because also, all, a lot of Mexicanos, Mexicanos, and we have a lot of Mexicano listeners, are
01:16:43.280
going to go there just because it's called New Mexico.
01:16:57.060
So, you're going to have a lot of, a lot of, you know, you got community, community.
01:17:13.640
I think you got all kinds of like different Native Americans.
01:17:18.060
I don't know the, I don't know a lot of the tribes there, but Native Americans.
01:17:30.760
And you know, but if there's one place you're still going to find a lot of hard workers,
01:17:36.260
a lot of white hard workers, it would be Kansas, I think.
01:17:39.440
Unless even the farms there have gone to a lot of Latino workers.
01:17:42.180
They've gone, they've gone by way of the factory farm.
01:17:49.060
I used to work on a soybean, corn, cotton, milo farm on the Louisiana and Mississippi Delta,
01:17:56.620
And in my summers from high school to into college.
01:18:01.960
And I remember the last summer that I was there was the first time that they got a Mexican worker.
01:18:08.800
So, it was like you could just start to see it kind of getting into the area that a lot of Latinos were coming in.
01:18:17.360
The two summers before it, they didn't have it.
01:18:21.520
And then the third summer, they had this guy named Yemi.
01:18:55.060
For Brian Callum here today in the first round of the State Wars March Madness.
01:19:05.820
But they're also addicted to a lot of sucrose, a lot of drugs, a lot of weed over there.
01:19:17.280
The hardiest motherfuckers on the planet living below zero.
01:19:25.700
Dude, imagine waking up in the morning and having to chip yourself out of your own fucking bed.
01:19:39.120
Alaska crushes Hawaii because Hawaii is great, but, you know.
01:19:50.960
Their football team is good, but the highest it ever gets to be is like number 24 or something.
01:19:59.480
You can't fight with flowers around your neck, dude.
01:20:04.720
And plus, Alaska, you can have mittens made out of your ex-wife in Alaska.
01:20:11.420
If the Hawaiians tried to go into Alaska to take it over, they'd all die immediately.
01:20:22.740
First of all, they wouldn't even have a dress for it.
01:20:29.900
They'd just keep them frozen and have like the Hawaiian museum.
01:20:33.960
And kids from Alaska would walk through that frozen museum of like frozen Hawaiians.
01:20:46.480
One dude went out there and tried to read a book and fucking died in a bus.
01:20:51.280
But Jack London wrote To Build a Fire, Call of the Wild.
01:21:15.020
Not the Google cafeteria because somebody wrote some stuff about men and women.
01:21:28.820
And plus your camouflage in a while, you guys picked the worst camouflage.
01:21:39.340
Bro, you're going to get shot on the plane, bro.
01:21:44.620
So, I think all of your hardest hitters have really probably moved on to Hawaii.
01:21:51.660
We have a lot of Alaskan listeners, too, actually.
01:21:54.080
We've got a lot of video and audio submissions from Alaska.
01:22:10.960
This is a big second-round matchup, California, Montana.
01:22:43.200
We're going to have to think about a lot of these.
01:22:47.040
We don't know if it'll be Brian here next time.
01:22:58.060
And you just started a YouTube channel, right, Brian?
01:23:09.760
And we're going to give you this, man, to take care of yourself as you move forward.
01:23:19.060
And I'll put complicated apes on my Instagram right now.
01:23:24.260
And thank you so much to the Fighter and the Kid for always being so supportive, man.
01:24:05.680
You know those puppies he has on his Instagram?
01:24:22.620
You got to be able to get in a box, or you're going to lose to every state.
01:25:05.040
I'll play for keeps because I'll gut you like a dog.
01:25:09.420
You want to fucking count your ribs while you die?
01:25:14.460
I'll open you up and you lose hydraulics in eight seconds.
01:25:23.220
There's this guy who said, if I can start cutting you here in your arms, you're going
01:25:40.200
Ridge, I want a knife where I can, like the stilettos, for real.
01:25:48.160
Yeah, I want a knife where I can push up and be ready, for real.
01:25:57.660
Maybe they'll add it to the product line just for Brian.
01:25:59.800
You just fucking told 20 states that they aren't shit.
01:26:08.240
But one thing is, though, Kansas City is right there on the border, man.
01:26:12.300
But you're going to have people from both walks of life, Kansas and Missouri.
01:26:20.400
Dude, I'll keep you busy with this fucking knife.
01:26:26.380
But you see what I say is when I pull out my knife and I go, I just start picking my teeth.
01:26:32.280
And I go, just remember, your kung fu is no good here.
01:26:47.000
Dude, I feel like I'm in an outtake from There Will Be Blood.
01:26:57.900
What, obviously, you're surviving a lot in this time period, but what time period do you
01:27:06.580
I mean, the thing that people don't realize about most of history is you died of diseases
01:27:15.040
like the pox, the plague, diphtheria, malaria, all kinds of diseases.
01:27:23.880
So, you know, you, you, you, and if you didn't do that, you'd get cut and get an infection and
01:27:33.280
Or they have to, you know, people who have a problem with Western medicine, please look
01:27:40.420
There were mountains of amputated legs and hands and feet and, and arms because when
01:27:46.720
you got injured, they had to cut your hand off because it was going to go gangrene.
01:27:52.480
So you had to lose, we didn't come up with, with essentially, you know, things to dress
01:28:01.160
And after you got, you just had to have it lopped off and we didn't really have anesthetic.
01:28:06.540
Oh, bite down on this fucking, on this, on this rag.
01:28:16.980
And now we got a fucking bunch of twinks out here skating on fucking frozen water.
01:28:24.500
Like if you look at history, forget the science, just pick up a book on literature or history.
01:28:31.700
You buried your kids to shitty diseases, tetanus, things that we don't even think about
01:28:37.720
Dude, you want to lose your son to a fucking rusty nail because you had a, you have a stance
01:28:47.920
That's what's going to happen in some of these cities, bro.
01:28:52.480
But I mean, that's just, that's just ignorance.
01:28:58.800
But, but you can't get your information off of YouTube and Google only.
01:29:05.920
But dude, scientists are in the pocket of the companies.
01:29:08.860
Sometimes, sometimes, but when you, when the massive, it's not even that I'm saying, forget.
01:29:15.120
If you don't want to listen to all the scientists, because I guess they're all evil and they're
01:29:19.620
all taking money, I guess, I mean, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard, but if
01:29:23.180
you don't, so you're, all your doctors are wrong, all your doctors are wrong, all your
01:29:33.960
Most people read any good work of literature, any great play.
01:29:40.080
I mean, any, we're watching people die of like consumption, whatever it might be.
01:29:47.760
Talk to any historian who doesn't make money from the pharmaceutical companies.
01:29:53.160
They will tell you that disease, that disease that we now vaccinate for, we're the leading
01:30:00.500
You lost your children, you lost entire groups of people, the Spanish flu killed, that's just
01:30:17.080
I saw leprosy with my own eyes, you dumb fucks.
01:30:20.940
Without tetracycline, without tetracycline, you'd be done.
01:30:24.040
I watched people die of AIDS with my own eyes, my own neighbors, my own friends.
01:30:32.940
And then they came along with protease inhibitors, you fucking idiots.
01:30:43.140
The problem is I saw it with my own eyes, you fucks.
01:30:47.160
Now AIDS is as manageable or more manageable than diabetes.
01:30:51.700
And the virus has had to fucking constantly compromise themselves so much because of these
01:30:57.140
cocktail drugs, thanks to big pharma and science.
01:31:05.000
If you have staff or MRSA, then don't trust big pharma.
01:31:10.800
Yeah, go fix it yourself and use seaweed and honey, you dumb fuck.
01:31:15.740
So it's funny to me that people, they use the technology in their Apple phones, but that's
01:31:21.260
not evil, but they don't trust other technology.
01:31:27.380
You benefit every fucking day from scientific thinking.
01:31:30.400
You don't bury your friends and your children and your parents because of scientific thinking,
01:31:40.860
I'm not saying big pharma doesn't have profit, motive, and greed.
01:31:43.900
And I'm not saying there aren't corrupt people in all these things.
01:31:46.560
And I'm not saying there's not a bad dude named Big Pharma out there.
01:31:49.760
I'm not saying that you should trust your government.
01:31:57.520
But when you start going against vaccines across the board, you're dumb as fuck.
01:32:03.180
You're an ignorant idiot who knows nothing about history.
01:32:06.140
And if we are addicted, we have a part in that.
01:32:08.660
If you're addicted to some freaking drugs, you're the one that's addicted.
01:32:14.440
You got these crazy doctors shouldn't be writing all these prescriptions.
01:32:20.200
We have a part in that as well, you know, as users, you know.
01:32:23.160
If, you know, just because Lakeside Maple, who's not sponsoring us anymore, but who we
01:32:27.420
still love and has been a very great small business, just because they keep making fucking
01:32:31.800
maple, you know, trail mix doesn't make them bad people.
01:32:51.940
It's doing really well, but it's the best thing I've ever done, I think.
01:32:57.900
You know, you're one of the most entertaining men I know.
01:33:00.200
I always say that I think entertainers are making a big comeback on stage.
01:33:04.180
You know, and you've always been out there, but guys like you, Sebastian Maniscalco, people
01:33:09.780
There's something to hear, but also there's something to watch, you know?
01:33:14.360
We'll see you guys in the future for round two of this past weekend's State Wars March Madness.
01:33:31.360
Now, I'm just floating on the breeze, and I feel I'm falling like these leaves.
01:33:43.260
Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind I found.
01:33:52.300
But it's going to take a little time For me to set that parking brake And let myself unwind
01:34:04.600
Shine that light on me I'll sit and tell you my stories
01:34:14.580
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jonathan Kite, and welcome to Kite Club,
01:34:42.860
a podcast where I'll be sharing thoughts on things like current events,
01:34:46.900
stand-up stories, and seven ways to pleasure your partner.
01:34:55.940
And as always, I'll be joined by the voices in my head.
01:35:04.940
I've been talking about Kite Club for so long, longer than anybody else.
01:35:13.620
Anyone who doesn't listen to Kite Club is a dodgy bloody wanker.
01:35:19.680
I'll take a quarter pounder with cheese and a McFlurry.
01:35:22.620
Sorry, sir, but our ice cream machine is broken.
01:35:29.260
Anyway, first rule of Kite Club is, tell everyone about Kite Club.
01:35:33.580
Second rule of Kite Club is, tell everyone about Kite Club.
01:35:37.840
Third rule, like and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts,
01:35:43.580
And yes, don't worry, my Brad Pitt impression will get better.
