Plus Jason mayhem Miller and the news with Alicia Krause and now Adam Corolla. Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on the choice. We're gonna mandate you, kid. And on welcome the show. Welcome comedian actress Stephanie Hodges got a new show coming out. A couple of them, Jerry duty company retreat. That'll be in prime video. That's coming up and then the comeback, which is the Lisa Kudrow show that was from a few years back. I believe season three HBO. They do one every seven years and this is the third and final installment. Is it literally every seven years? It's been every seven years. Yeah. So this will be 14 years or 21 years? 21 years since the first one. Oh my God. No. Is it? It's 14 years. 14 years. Yeah. First one is zero. Then it was that. And then it was 14. Right. Right. Oh, you confused me with math. Sorry, my lady. I like Lisa Kudrow. I've known her since the groundlings. Yeah. That's a long time. When I knew Lisa Kudrow, she was a brunette. No. Oh yeah. If you find early pictures of Lisa Kudrow, she was brunette and I would not call her heavy, but I would just say fuller, fuller figure. She was her bust. She was a little bit, a little bit, she was not the skinny blonde that she turned out to be later on in life. Oh, there's. Look at that. Lisa Kudrow, brunette. Yeah. She's dark hair. And when she was on this picture, her from Cheers from, you know, out of 1989 or whatever, whatever, whatever the heck it was. But yeah, I knew. That's how I knew Lisa Kudrow. I did not know her as a, as a wave blonde back the day. I know you go back to Jennifer Aniston, right? Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. She was in that. Yes. That's, that's a yes. Are you affirming that? Yes, I am. I was told you had a good story about her. I do have a good story about her. We were in a nine episode summer replacement series called muddling through. What network? What year? That was, I believe that was CBS and I don't know what year it was. It was just before friends. Uh-huh. Must have been late. Late, late, early nineties, late eighties. I don't know. I don't know. I can't keep track of years. I quit trying. Good. It's just has no purpose. But we were doing this show and she played my daughter and she, they, she didn't know apparently that it was just a summer replacement series. And they weren't telling her that it was just a summer replacement series and she had auditioned for friends and she wanted it badly. But was under the impression that if our show got picked up, she couldn't have friends, of course, because it was the show she was on. You, but a summer replacement show could get picked up, right? It could, but this one was not going to be picked up. And I knew this and I was told not to tell her. And I thought, what cruelty is a foot here? Why, why so much secrecy back in the day? They thought she would phone in her performance on muddling through if she knew she was going to get friends. And I thought, what an underestimation of a phenomenally talented young woman. But also, I, you know, it is weird when people accuse people of, you know, possibly muddling through, muddling through. And it's like, no, my face is out here. It's me. I'm performing. I would never mail it in because everyone's looking at you. You know what I mean? Like what's in it for you to mail? I feel that way sometimes when, when I used to do morning radio or even late night radio, once a while there'd be a guest and they were like, sort of not into it, you know what I mean? And they just sort of sit there and you could tell because they'd lean back. They just be lean back. But I'm like, I'm not telling you to come in here and pedal this bike for me. You're the one who's not looking very funny or very interested or very good. Like it's, it's like they should know that she would perform for her. Yeah, they should have. And I would have told her if I were you. She's, I did. Oh, you did? Yeah, I did. And I told, well, I didn't tell her directly, but she was, she and I were talking one day and one afternoon. And I just put my arms around her and I said, honey, you have nothing to worry about. The show is going to end. You're going to get friends. You're going to marry Brad Pitt. Everything's going to be fine. And I threw the bad Brad Pitt thing in there just as a fluke, you know, just kind of make it light and silly. You did not. I did too. I smite him to God. I made up Brad Pitt. You called Brad Pitt before Brad Pitt. Yes, I did. Wow. I know. I mean, I guess it could happen because he was considered eligible and great looking. Yeah. So if you're saying to a young woman, it's all going to work out. Mm hmm. Then in a weird way, it's like you're going to marry the prince. I thought what could be better than her getting friends, marrying Brad Pitt. So I threw it in there. You threw it in and she married Brad Pitt. What, five years later? Uh huh. And never thanked me. Never. Oh my God. You willed it into existence. You know, I used to tell people, I haven't thought about this in a million years, but you made me think about it with Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. When I was taking over for Howard Stern in Los Angeles and on the West Coast, it was me. Howard was going off of terrestrial radio and then I was going to take over for him on in terrestrial radio. And it was like, I don't know, 06 whenever he went to serious exam. And anyway, people come up to me and they go, take it over for Howard Stern. That's got to be a daunting task. Like you must really be nervous or apprehensive about taking over for a legend like Howard Stern. Cause you know, the first thing happens is people go, he's no Howard Stern, I miss Stern or whatever that is. And I said, well, it's a pretty big opportunity. And she said, they said, yeah, but aren't you sure you want to take over for Howard Stern? I said, it's funny. I would say, listen, Jennifer Aniston was married to Brad Pitt. And if someone said to me, how do you feel about having sex with Jennifer Aniston after she was with Brad Pitt? I'd go, I'm still doing it. Fuckers. Like, yeah, I'm in. I get it. He looks pretty good in his underpants, but I still get Jennifer Aniston and I would not say no to that. And then everyone would look at me and go, well, I guess when you put it that way, it's reasonable. Do you make sense? I had to vote Jennifer Aniston having sex with Jennifer Aniston. So God, I'd love to know what, I'd love to know that replacement sitcom. Was anyone else in that thing? Let me think. And you called Brad Pitt. Yeah, I called Brad Pitt. And then she did that. And now she's just Jennifer Aniston. Yeah. She's beloved. She is beloved. I don't know why we need to love her as much as we do, but we somehow come to a consensus. She's like a koala bear. She is. You want to hold her and hug her? Who cares if she has syphilis? We don't care. Well, I'm not she has syphilis, but koala bear. No, koala bears. Right. I didn't remember that part about the koala bear. Well, I've got to bring it up to your table. And she doesn't have a vicious nature to my knowledge. She's a very kind person. I've been in social settings with her. She's very nice. She's sweet. Well, I think there are certain people who feel compelled to maintain their niceness. Now, I'm not saying they're doing it out of obligation, but I think they do realize, like, I remember seeing George Clooney at a party and I was like, oh my God, that's George Clooney. And then, you know, I'm sort of wired if people go, are you going to say hi to George Clooney? I don't want to bother George. He doesn't know. You know, I'm not going to. And I saw him and he goes, hey, Adam, come here. And they're like, hugged it out, right? But I started to realize that when you're George Clooney, you can't leave people with stories about that guy. Such a douche. You know what I mean? Like, you kind of, it's a little bit of pressure to be Jennifer Aniston or George Clooney. And if you're shitty to someone at a party, they're going to talk about it and you can't be that. Like, you, it's like. You know, if you are an anonymous person and you feel like smoking a cigarette outside of LAX before you head in, you just go to the curb and do it. But if you're a celebrity, there's going to be TMZ. They're going to take pictures of you. You have to sort of think about it a little bit. And if you're George Clooney or you're Jennifer Aniston, you have to kind of go through life realizing that every waiter, every waitress, every person on a, at the airport, everyone, that's all going to be, that's what they're going to remember. And if you're douchey, they're going to have a story about it. That's awful. That must be awful. Well, or you can just be nice all the time and then no one has any douchey stories. Then people go the other way. They go, oh, I met Jennifer Aniston. She was so nice. But I think they, I think they realize it and they have to work at it a little bit. I would, I would think so because I would think it would get scary. And when people are scared, they get defensive. So. I mean, people coming at you would get scary. Oh, I guess if you're a woman, yeah, less for guys, probably. I would imagine a lot less for guys. Yeah. I mean, I've had people come up to me all the time. I don't, I don't never bother. You're not scared. No, but I grew up with, you know, guys and headlocks and wrestling and stuff. Real rough and tumble stuff. So I never really. I didn't grow up. So you didn't bother me. Where'd you grow up? I grew up. I grew up in Southern Ohio in a little town called Wilmington. And when did comedy crop up for you? My parents were very funny people and my dad made sure that I knew about comedy. And he got me albums. He got me Cheech and Chong. Mm. Albums. He got me Steve Martin albums. And he got me the Vatican rag. And what was his name? What was that guy's name? I'll think of it. Playing the piano. Yeah. Yeah. It was they used to have those personalities used to be doing the Vatican rag. It was like a mermi. Who sung Vatican rag? Tom Lehrer. That could be. Yes, that's it. Could be Tom Lehrer. That would be a good poll for you Dawson. Yeah, it turns out. I know it sounds sacrilegious, but it turns out Cheech and Chong weren't funny, either one of them. No. And everyone loves Cheech and Chong, but their stuff doesn't hold up at all. And it's not funny and it's not clever. Like Bob's not here or whatever the fuck they're doing. And by the way, both of them together aren't funny and never. Here's the thing. How can you be funny except for you weren't funny since 1974? Like how is this? It's a weird thing. Like they're never, it's sort of, I try to have conversations with people about like Janet Jackson. You know, she's not a musician. Like she's a musician. She doesn't play. She doesn't sing. She doesn't do anything. Like she's not. I like saying, you know, it's like there's some people that they call themselves stand-up comedians and the second they make money, they never do stand-up comedy ever again. That's not, you're not a stand-up comedian. Jerry Seinfeld's a stand-up, Jerry Seinfeld's a billionaire and he's out somewhere doing comedy tonight because he's a stand-up comedian. Cheech and Chong, not funny. No. Not at all. And by the way, if they were, you'd know it. When I was in third or fourth grade, they were the funniest thing in the world, which says something. But if we played a good basketball game, our coach, when he was driving us home after the game, he told us, if you play good today, you can listen to Cheech and Chong's greatest hit in the car on the way home. And that was the biggest treat for us. Doing the Vatican work. I have that if you want to get it. Is it who we thought it was? If this is the version, it's Tom Lehrer. Yeah. First you get down on your knees, fiddle with your rosary. All right. There we go. That's it. You got it. Your dad was nice. Yeah, Cheech and Chong is wildly unfunny, insanely unfunny and they hypnotize the nation. And I really remember being like one of the few guys, even back in the day, was just going, I don't, I don't get it. Like I don't think any of this is clever. It's not funny. It's not interesting. But then they're famous bits. Like when you listen to arguably the most famous comedy bit of all time is Who's on First. Right. And you watch that bit, which I did the other day, and it's like, Who's on First? No, that's who. Well, what's his name? What's his name? Place, center, field. None of these are names. They're none of them are names. So the bit doesn't work. Well, here's what I'm saying. Here's what I'm saying. All right. Is everyone listening? Yes. When that scene, find the scene, Andrew, from airplane, the first airplane, when they're up in the cockpit and they're trying to take off and they're on the radio with the control tower. Do you remember that scene? Yes. What do you remember about that scene? You call me Shirley. Right. But not in that scene. Not in that scene. Well, then I don't remember that scene. Just testing you. Yeah. One of the guys' name was Roger. But Roger's also what you say to the control tower. But there's nobody named Taxi on Runway 7. So it doesn't work. The joke wouldn't work if you go Taxi on Runway 7. That's my name. No. Taxi on Runway 7. Who are you talking about? No. Everyone. There's Roger. There's like three names. There's Roger. There's Victor. What's your vector, Victor? Right. And then Overunger. Right, right, right. It works because there are actual names that also mean actual things. Somebody told me once it was the late great Fred Willard. The late great Fred Willard I sat next to on a long flight back from, nicest guy in the world by the way. And he said, we used to do a who's on first bit like back in the day. But it was for rock bands. And we'd go, I'm going out seeing who. Who? Who? Guess who? Wait, who's opening for them? Guess who? I don't want to guess. Tell me who's opening for who. Guess who? I'm not guessing anymore. Right. And so you can do a whole version of that that actually works. But I don't know his name and that's his brother and he hasn't been paid yet or not names. Those aren't names. So the bit who's on first, what's on second, I don't know who's on third. There's nobody named that. I never realized it didn't work before. It doesn't work. All right. But this does work because this is airplane's version of who's on first, but it actually lives somewhere that makes sense. Let me out all the time. I swear to you. Darling, take care of yourself. Goodbye. Flight 209er, you're cleared for takeoff. Roger. Huh? LA departure frequency, 123.9. Roger. Huh? Request vector, over. What? Flight 209er, clear for vector 324. We have clearance clearance. Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor? Tower radio, cleared. All right. All right. It'll actually, the bit goes on. Wait. Sorry. It goes on for another 10 seconds or so. That's clearance over. Over. Roger. Roger. Roger. Over. Cut. Hey. All right. All right. That's who's on first with normal names, but no one is named ailerons or flaps or full throttle. Since those aren't names, so then it wouldn't work. Sorry. No. I have never, I didn't realize it didn't work. Well, the whole premise is that it's a name. We'll see if I'd been thinking, I would have realized, but you know. You thought about it. I did think about it. I actually did that bit. You did? Yeah. When did you do that bit? I used to travel around doing teaching theater to kids in elementary schools. Just little, little full day sort of fun thing to do with kids. And so the person that I did this with, they would do, we would do who's on first for the kids. And little kids loved it. They would just roll in the floor and giggle. Because it's a rhythmic thing, but it's not a sensical thing. Yeah. And if you grab your head and scream every once in a while, they like that too. So sorry, jury duty. That was wildly successful. Is that James Franco? Who was that? You did that. Wait, the other, the guy reminds me of James Franco. Who was the other guy? That was, why am I blanking? Oh my God. James Marsden. James Marsden. They got the same look almost. One guy got me too, I think. But James Marsden, that's what it is. That's his thing, right? Yes. And he had a whole bunch of success doing that a few years ago, right? Yes. And now they're bringing it back. They won a Peabody Award for the first one. Yes. Crazy. And he was nominated for an Emmy for the first one. Yeah. It was wildly successful. And basically it's undercover. Everybody in this, in the, in, everybody in it except for the one person is an actor. Everybody. And they just think they're going to jury duty. And then hijinks and sue. Yes, they do. And ours is at a corporate retreat. Uh-huh. So our hero comes in and thinks he's a temporary assistant for the corporate retreat. So we're in the woods, we're in a cabin, we're in cabins. We have a rec center. Right. We have snakes and spiders. Right. So it's jury duty company retreat, but it's just company. The jury duty is where it started, but this is company. And so this is an entire, it's interesting. Yeah. I actually made a movie called Windy City Heat that starred a guy who didn't know he was starring in a movie. He thought he was starring in an action movie. It turned out he was starring in our movie, which is sort of the same premise. Everyone was in on it, but the one guy who, at least he thought he was in a movie, your guy. He did. Are the cameras hidden everywhere? They're hidden everywhere. They're behind walls. There were carts that were set out like little horse carts with no horses, of course. And they were just there for decoration, you know. But inside those carts were men with cameras. Oh, wow. And they were all scrunched up inside these little carts. Where'd you film it? We filmed it at a ranch in Agora, just between Malibu and the highway, basically. And it's a horse ranch. It used to be a horse ranch. You've got to get, the person's got to sign off, though, when you're done, right? So you can't sign off before you do it. Because you don't know you're doing it. So there's always the risk that the person doesn't sign off on it. Well, they go through the whole process of getting into being hired is, it was very extensive. They put an ad on, I think it was Craigslist. And they get these people who apply because it's a very well-paying job. It pays a little extra. And I don't know exactly what they pay them. The assistant of the job he thinks he's doing. Yes. Right. And it's in California. And it's on a ranch. So it doesn't sound like fun. So he's from Tennessee. So he sees this. He applies for it. And you go through several periods of questioning and a psychological evaluation. And he just wanted the job. So he figured, why not? You know, go through what you have to go through to get the job. It sounds great. Go to California. Spend a few weeks. Right. But he doesn't know he's on a TV show. No. He has absolutely no idea what's going on. Right. So, but he says to sign off on that, right? Yeah. He signs off on the job and he's going to be outside in the woods. Wait, wait, wait. He's signing off on a job. He's not signing off to be on TV. No. Well, I'm saying you have to get him to sign at the end to be on TV. Yes. And when the reveal is over, he signs those papers and. Right. Sometimes people don't want to sign if you screw with them too much. But we don't screw with them. That's the thing. There's nothing. There's no bad jokes. There's no practical jokes. It's all very friendly and very loving and very kind. There's no, there's no nasty. Okay. Not a bit of nasty. Wow. Because normally that's where the comedy comes in. You're not going to be able to screw in with them part. Yeah. But we don't. All right. It's still funny. It's very funny. All right. So. We screw with each other. Right. And we get ourselves into predicaments and he rescues us. He helps us. Right. He has to react. He talks to us. He talks us down. You know, three episodes dropping this Friday. They're doing. And you're playing what part? I'm playing Helen Schaefer. She runs the books at the hot sauce company at Rock and Grammys. That's got to be fun because you get to improvise. Oh, it's so much fun. It's so much fun. It's terrifying. It's like taking care of an elderly person in your family before they die. It's a great honor and it's terrifying. Yeah. And, and there isn't a script. Well, there was, there was, there was a script in that there was a plan, a beginning, middle and an end. Yeah. Yeah. But there wasn't a script. Yeah. It's kind of like curb your enthusiasm or something. And there were times when there were specific lines that they wanted us to get out. Right. So we had to improvise into those. Right. But you never know, you have to be fluid and rely on your improv training because you don't know how, how he's going to react. He was pretty amazing. It was, it was freaky because there were times that we had to get him to do a certain thing and we weren't sure how we were going to get him there from where we were. But we had to do it and we had to do it fast. And by God, every time we'd get in that situation, he'd turn around and say, you know, I was thinking we should do this and it would be the thing we had to get him to do. Wow. Yeah. It's a, it's an interesting psychological sort of experiment. Yeah. Think about it. So that is this Friday. Yes. Jerry Doody, company retreat and then also the comeback. The comeback. Season three after 14 years. Yep. On HBO. Stephanie, thanks for joining me. Well, thank you. We'll take a little break. We'll bring in mayhem and we'll do that right after this. Shopify.

We're going to get in all things MMA with Jason. Also the podcast, the Mayhem Miller show, it's on YouTube. I recommend it highly. So I guess everyone's talking about Rhonda Rousey. Rhonda Rousey, Gina Carano. It's going down. Well, May 16th, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm right. Yes. All right. First off, I'm guessing Rhonda's going to be a favorite in this fight. Champion, former champion. Yeah. And she's got that judo throw stuff and it works pretty well and it's kind of in her. And it's it's hard to avoid. Time and time again, I said it. You coach them kids from a young age and certain things just stick. And the strength becomes crystalline by the teenage years. The weird thing with her judo throw move, which is so weird. All I did when I was a kid was wrestle other kids. And and I was really good at it until puberty kicked in and then it all just, you know, like, like everyone, it was what it was is puberty didn't hurt me. It helped everyone else and it didn't do it. I just thought I hit an advantage like you were just born with the massive amounts of testosterone. That's that's what happened. I was born with some sort of weird balance thing that enabled me to throw anyone on the ground and never be thrown on the ground myself. And I and I had the same phenomenon with me. I tell about 12 years old, old Ray landed on me and just grounded a pound of my face in the dirt. And then I never went for that judo throw quite the same. I never, well, so what happened was is puberty kicked in and then everyone got real strong and then I had no more superpowers. And it was all it was all downhill. But when I was little, we didn't play football like five on five. We played a game called tackle Adam. Because it took all 10 of them to tackle me and they couldn't do it. And I had a little phenomenon knocked off my feet. But when I see Ron to do the judo throw, I did that to everyone. I never trained. I never saw it. I never did anything. I instinctively grabbed everyone by the thing and stuck my leg out and just throw them and landed on. And I would leave alone childhood of Soto Garry. I believe it's called a super nice. But I would throw through everyone and I see her sticking her foot out and I see the thing and I go, that person's going to be on their back. If I'm on Gina Carano's corner, this is the thing to look out for. That step holder, if you get a headlock position, you know, if you give her a headlock position, you're going to go ass over tea kettle. Right. Flop on the ground. And then she's going to climb into an arm bar. Right. Exactly what she does and what she's done since childhood. So with her mom, so you got to go holly homes. You got to go distance and rain. Now holly is pretty long and holly's long and holly can box because holly boxed. And so she would strike and she would use the kicks and she would stretch it out. Well, I'll tell you what, Gina Carano has hands. She puts them to use. She's a kickboxer by nature. I don't know how her training has been for this, you know, run up to this because now the training right now should be in full swing. But yeah, Gina Carano has the ability to put Rhonda out. It's documented. I've seen it before. And Rhonda can be put out. Rousey, 57% chance on polymarkets. So the betting market has her just this sort of slight favorite. Slight favorite, I guess. But Andrew, I don't know anything about polymarket. When it's 50, 57% chance of winning. Does that mean 43% chance of winning for? She's the favor. 57% chance of winning. Yeah, yeah. Does that mean that there's a 43% chance? Does the math just work out that way? That's correct. OK, so they split it. So sometimes, like when they do governmental polls, they go 61% of Americans are against ice and then only 27% or 4% and I'm like, that doesn't add up to 100%. No, like, but this, this is how they do it. All right. So she's a favorite, but not a massive. Yeah, I think that, you know, like that, that's based on everyone putting money in. Right. And the smart money, yeah, is might be on Rhonda. Is Rhonda a little younger? Yeah, that's it. And but Gina is a little bigger. Like if I remember correctly, she's just a little stronger. It's kind of a bigger woman and the weight class, they'll both cut to the same weight, but on the night of, I think Gina come in a little bigger. Are they doing a catch way? I have, you know, look, I have the. We'll go look it up. I'm looking it up for you right now, but it didn't, it didn't come across my sheet. I'm guessing it's. Or do they even care? I mean, you know, Mike Tyson. It's on Netflix. Aaron Paul or whatever. Right. Yeah, it should, you know, it's one of those. This is kind of the way the market is blowing right now, because of Paramount deal. And now that UFC is over there on Paramount, there's a, there's, you know, new opportunities opening up for mixed martial artists. And this is one of them. The Paul brothers are coming out. Yeah. 145 pound featherweight belt. Right. All right. So these are some strong ladies right here. What is, what is everyone's age? Cause Rousey may be a little bit younger. A bit. She kind of retired early. I mean, she took a couple losses and I get it, but she's still retired a little bit, little bit early. Yeah. Five years. Karan was 44 and she started, I know, I got to tell you, when your number is a fighter or as a lover, when one starts with a three and the other starts with a four, it makes a difference. I can tell you as a, as a man of a certain age, you hit 40 things start. I mean, there's a reason why there are, if you really think about it, there are tons of guys in the NFL and in, in the NBA, whose number starts with a three and almost no one whose number starts with a four. So you go, well, there's Aaron Rogers and then there's that fat punter or something, but I mean, think about, if you want to know the difference between being in your thirties and being in your forties, being in your thirties means starting in the NFL, being in your forties means nobody, nobody in the NFL. Right. And conditioning coach. Right. Right. And then there's, you know, there's the LeBron James's of the world, Steph Curry. I don't know, Steph Curry, 40 yet or whatever, whatever he is. But the point is, is Jane, once you get to 40, it thins out. Yeah. It's aging out. Yeah. You know, the interesting thing about that fight is that, yeah, the experience shows and Rhonda will be a favorite, but, you know, Gina has that ability. And like you said, Rhonda's been knocked out before. We've all seen it. And that does follow you throughout your life. Why wasn't this fight made back in the day? I mean, Dana. Likely. Yeah. Dana was not a big fan of women's mixed martial arts, as I remember. He did not. He said he wouldn't, women would never fight in the UFC. Didn't want to give them that opportunity. But meanwhile, we were one of the smaller shortcuts watching the women fight. And they were exciting, man. And this one has all the makings of an exciting fight. Maybe not the best quality. The competitors are, they should have happened 15 years ago, but I'll take what I can get. Yeah. Dana doesn't like to see women being punched. But if he's in Mexico and she throws the first one, it's a counter. Yeah, it's a counter. But here's the point. By the way, women, I want to say this. And I think I think people should know this. And I've tried to warn women about this because I see on the internet, I see what goes on on the internet. Women, there is a new world order. Guys punch back. Back in the day, you just smacked Clark Gable and he didn't do anything. We are living in a new world order. Yeah, you're like, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. Yeah. You punch a dude, especially a brother. There is going to be a counter and it's going to be your face and he hits hard. So do not think you can smack guys anymore. Guys, the internet is going wild with these types of videos. You could smack. I've been punched by a woman. I did not counter punch. I used to date exclusively fighters. And they punch. Oh, yeah, they punch. But a counter. They right. Counter. Hey, they roll under and hook. I feel like women need a wake up call, which is you will get punched back now. Maybe your grandmother didn't get punched back, but you will get punched back. That's the new world order. They are. You won that game, though, because then they start calling the cops. That's all. By the way, it's you will see people wearing pajamas at the airport. That it's a new world order. Get used to it. All right. So we think I think I would put the money on Ronda, but it might be a fun fight. And women, here's the thing about women fights, they fight a little more with their heart, a little more ferociously. They're kind of like Mexican prize fighters, you know, they've got a little more bravado because men, I think men have to kind of respect the other guy's power a little bit. You there is there. It's two parts. It's I want to hit the person, but I do not want to get knocked out, you know. Women get hit and it makes them angry and they go after the person harder. And that's why you get a more exciting fight. It's like Mexican prize fighters. Well, before you go into that, Mexican, you know, you might want to bring up Ron DeRousey's shadow boxing there in the booth, guys. Before the ace man locks in his big bet, because I know he likes to go huge on these bets. So just bring it up because, you know, ace man was a boxing coach. And I want to I want to get his ideas on Ronda Rousey's shadow boxing. I will tell you this and I will I will gladly. I will say this and you know this. You can tell you don't need to see a guy hit a heavy bag, hit a speed bag, hit a double ended bag. Don't show it yet. You don't need a guy to do any of that. You need a guy to shadow box. And by the way, if a guy shadow boxes and it's weird, I'm not going to say 30 seconds. I'm going to say seven seconds, seven seconds of shadow boxing will let you know all you need to know about if a guy's got hands or not. By the way, if you said to me, you want to know if this guy can box? I'd go, give me 20 seconds of skipping rope and give me 10 seconds of shadow boxing. And I'll know everything I need to know about this guy's ability. You show me a guy skips rope like his feet or cement or can't do it or the shower. Every movie, every boxing movie that fucks itself up. Does it not with the fight scenes because the fight scenes are choreographed, you know, and they put the sound in and they do that stuff. When you watch the great white hope and you see Pete Berg as the Irish heavyweight and they bring them into the ring, I don't even think they tell the actor what to do. But the guys of Boxer in the movie and they show them in the corner warming up. And you just look at it and you go, that guy does know how to fight. Terrible form. Does not know how. All right, with all that in mind, I mean, would you like to watch maybe 20, 30 seconds? I would. Do you shadow box? This is from when? Here's 10 seconds exactly as ordered. Is this old? Oh, two. Two thousand twenty five. OK, this is only four months old. Three months old. OK, here we go. Also, there's a. Yeah, there's a little part to where they chose to put it up on the internet, which is kind of a little. Yeah, suspect. This looks a little tough. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't. I mean, her left. She OK, she threw a left uppercut and a left hook. She turned it over and she kind of came up and turned it over. And that was kind of OK. She goes up, she turned her hook over. OK, the rest looked a little chaotic. Just the footwork to me. Yeah, I think what we're having here is her footwork is locked in from judo. But yeah, her armwork is pretty good. Like somebody's holding the pads pretty good for her, but it just she's not turning that hip over. No, no, no, you're right. She's square and everything's real tight. Like she's been holding like someone's been holding pads for her forever square up a little bit. Yeah. So I think that, you know, it's possible that Gina could exploit that, you know, this is the area. The rest of the fight, I think, is an advantage towards Ronda. The clench game she's going to throw her at the takedowns. You know, maybe she how much. How much of this? It's not a sanctioned fight. Yeah, this is interesting. They always do that. How much of this is this? Ma'am, right? Go look. We're both going to try as hard as we can. But if this thing ends in the first 30 seconds, there's not going to be a part two. And it's, you know, like, let's let's let's make it exciting. Yeah, I'm not telling you what to do. But I'm saying, you know, let's give the crowd what they paid for. Let's let's have a go a few rounds. Let's let's trade a little bit. Like, let's if I'm sitting in a post position, I would encourage the women to do just this. In fact, like my fighters, I I. I don't go for like the guy who's like, particularly like a boring one sided type fighter that only wins. I'm looking for fighters that wow, you know, I'd rather you wow than win. I wonder I want to put on a great show for the audience, because we all know what mixed martial arts looks like at the highest level. Let's see what it looks like when it's the most exciting. Yeah, let's make people clamor for a part two versus, you know, her and Tagler like this. Both guys give like a 100 percent effort, right? Like a nonstop war. I mean, it's rare that you get that. And, you know, maybe Gina and Rousey can. Man, maybe they can make this happen. Maybe they could give us an exciting fight. Yeah, it'd be it'd be nice. I I think it has more potential than Paul and Tyson for for sure. It's mixed martial arts. It's women. They're younger and I don't know if there's bad blood, but. Oh, there's a little beef because they missed each other. Like I said, they didn't make this fight 15 years ago. Right. It was a little, you know, what would happen if because Gina was like she was the lady for a long time. Right. Women's mixed martial arts. Right. And then Rhonda came and eclipsed her and kind of stole the whole spotlight. Yeah. So Gina has a chance to go ahead and take that back from her. And then there was the Mandalorian thing where Gina got screwed. She's like the first one in the free speech wars, right? Like they they executed her to scare everyone else. You want to talk about like you have to go back and examine some of these COVID discussions we were having and some of the ideas we're having to go. Holy shit, we were fucking insane. Like we I can't believe this is modern time. Her thing, she literally. She got into trouble for saying that her pronouns were like Bing Bang Bong or something like that. She made a joke about pronouns. She made, she's a professional fighter who's an action movie star who made a joke. My pronouns are like Shyamalan, a ding dong or something like that. She made it pronouns joke and we threw her off of Disney for making a joke, not cussing out black people, not dropping in bombs, not saying, you know, all those gays should take a hike to hell. Bebop Boop is what she said her pronouns were. And that was enough to trigger the mob. And we were so insane back then that we went along with it. Nobody piped up and went, what are you doing? You can't fire someone from their job for making a stupid joke. And by the way, what are your fucking pronouns? Who gives a shit? The funny part is the next Pixar film is Bebop Boop. Really? Yeah, those are the characters. She and she had. She got tossed for Bebop Boop as her pronoun. Really? That was the official stated. I mean, you know what statement. Well, what it what it was is they realized that's when they realized she was on the other side. And that's what I got. That's what happened. They go like, where's your mask? You know, I don't wear a mask. Oh, you don't wear a mask, do you? Now I know what side you're on. But by the way, it's like I said, Oakley blades on your trucker hat. On the brim, we know how you vote. No, what it was is she made fun of pronouns, which means we know how you vote, which means you voted for Trump, which means you're out of here. Doesn't seem particularly hateful what she said. You know, I mean, I think these are the before times, right? This is before like everyone kind of this is. All right, maybe we went too far. This is Salem witch hunt times. And you know, the real comedy of these times. This is done by the Hollywood community and the Hollywood community never stops fucking bitching about McCarthyism. They never fucking stop about what they never noticed when they're McCarthy. Oh, my God. Well, I want to say this to all the assholes like George Dickey and all the people that were worried about Japanese internment camps or McCarthyism. OK, let me explain something. We didn't do the Japanese internment camps because we were inherently cruel. We did it because you guys bomb Pearl Harbor and we freaked out. OK, and McCarthyism was born of communism, which was a real thing and was a real thing here in the United States and was responsible for killing millions of people around the world. So maybe it was an overreaction, but it was an overreaction to something that was a horrible scourge that could destroy our country. So one was Pearl Harbor. The other was communism, which destroys country. So we reacted. And with the reaction, there were people that were unfairly punished, which happens every time there's a big reaction to something. But it meant something. Gina Carano didn't mean anything. And all the Hollywood assholes attacked her anyway. And the ones who never stopped bitching about McCarthyism attacked her. That's what happened. So fuck off and you're wildly inconsistent. They literally never stopped talking about the scourge of McCarthyism. And meanwhile, trying to run people out of their jobs and out of Hollywood, who say anything they disagree with. But by the way, not recognizing pronouns is not inherently dangerous to anybody because they don't really exist. And you assholes made this up 10 minutes ago. But McCarthyism gets millions of people. I should say communism gets millions of people killed every year. And they start. Well, I mean, the Mandalorian was bounty hunter, murdered many, many people. That's a good point. All right. So mayhem, you're going to say who we going with with this fight? Get on record. I want Gina to get in there. I want Gina to get in there. I want her to. You know, even though that Ronda's like been bringing up the pay scale for fighters and kind of like doing some really good work. They're getting paid. I don't know. Millions. Yeah. Because Jake Paul is putting it out there. You know what I mean? He's getting these, signing these big fights. Yeah. So way to go, Jake. All right. So, by the way, you got a fighting championship coming up. Oh, me the, oh, up next. Yeah, I got plenty of guys fighting this weekend. 11 to be exact. I got Jesse Langarica fighting at the Upnext fighting championship in Los Angeles. Lobo Langarica. Lobo Langarita. All right. So where should people go for your stuff? Oh, man, mayhem Miller.

You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744. Trucker, man, you're too young, Alicia Krause, but Trucker was a noble American job. Oh, so no, I you might think I'm too young, but I used to call screen for the Sean Hannity radio show. Oh, Truckers. And those Truckers would call in because they didn't mind waiting on them for three hours. We got to dip back to the 70s where you were a local hero. If you're a Trucker. Yes. First off, Truckers were, there were they were sort of common every man heroes. First off, we made like 11 Trucker movies in a four year span in Hollywood. There were all mainstream movies. Really? Yeah. Well, we had White Line Fever Ice Road movie where he was like a Trucker recently. Liam Nees. I don't remember. More recently. What is this one? So you're saying I should go stream all of these this weekend at the Krause House? What I'm saying is is the mighty have fallen. Pause it for a second. What I'm saying is is Truckers were there were folk hero type jobs. And they did the right thing. Truckers, but it was kind of frontier Trucker justice. You know what I mean? They would get on the Squawk box, the CB and and Smokey would tell them, you know, the band, it would tell them Smokey's on my tail and they'd make a convoy for them and stuff. You know, they took care of business. Yeah. OK. Now they're all a bunch of Indian guys who don't speak English. You Gavin Newsom gave a license to who killed the family of three in a minivan. Like they their stock has fallen like it used to be a good blue collar Americana type job you're saying. And now it's it was a hero type job in the 70s. Well, you could you could defend the country or you could feed the country. And Truckers helped feed the country. They is funny. They never even told you what was in the truck. You know, it could have been hauling kiddie porn or something. They never. Well, they never said only smoking the band. It said what was in the truck. Everyone else didn't tell you. But that guy had a belt buckle. He had boots. He had a handle. Yeah. He could he could do the CB and people would he knew. He knew, you know, he when Little Leisha would drive by on a road trip to Florida and her mom's Volvo wagon. Do this. The horn. They do the horn. No autonomous driver or some legal guy from Bangladesh knows what the horn honk was. Oh, you know what? We're doing a couple of road trips this summer with the kiddies. I should teach all of them that and see how many truckers respond. We'll do it. We'll do an anecdotal case study for the audience. Are we, Andrew, are we allowed to play the song, CB Savage on the podcast without being clipped by YouTube? CB Savage is the greatest song ever. I don't think I know it. What? What? Oh, wait. We was hunting bear for the rocking chair out on half. This is Dawson's favorite song. Dodging books and pickup trucks in West New Mexico. Slide this into your queue, Dawson. The guy's come by for a beer. He's so happy back there. He's bopping along. Just put your ears up. Did you hear what I just heard? He nodded his head real face got red and he never said a word. We're scared of cavemen. We're both thinking we might just answer that one nine call. When that CB device come back to life, just a lisp and wall to wall. Lisp and wall to wall. And that unusual voice came on again. Oh, my gosh. Break one nine again. This is your one and only CB Savage Mercyfake's good body. Could I please have your 20? I'd settle for a big 10 for mercy, mercy. How about a mile post? Listen, you can't keep your hammers down forever, you know. Speak to me, pedal pumpers. How about it? This guy's a genius. Well, the box went dead and we looked straight ahead and I'm sorry. Pause it for one second. If this is the same guy doing both voices, I will I will call him a musical genius. I would assume it is. I do. I do too. But we're going to have to find out. But I assume it's Rod Hart. It comes full circle to some. We're not done. Oh, it does. Oh, he ties it up with a bow. When do you hear what happens? The box went dead and we looked straight ahead and didn't say a word at all. We had four in the chair and the door back there, but nobody'd answer that call. A while went by and Jay and I, we started breathing again. We figured this stranger was one of our own. All at once he'd come back in. And it was that same odd voice saying. Breakers, breakers, any takers? Hi, hi, it's me again. I'm in your chair and I love it there. Say, you truckers really know how to take a person for a ride. Speak to me, you diesel demons. I'd love to get to know your handle. VV Feventure. Come on, come on. His laugh is the genius part. I grabbed the mic and I held it tight and my hand began to sway. I like that you're freaking out. And he was grinning away like a big old bird fed cat. So I put down the talker and turned up the squawker and got a good grip on the wheel. I decided to trucker that answered this duck sure as heck wasn't going to be me. About that time that weird voice came back on again. There we go. You breakthrough. Hi, hi, you Jim Dandy Jimmy John with you. Do I ever have a surprise for you? If you listen real close, you'll find my voice is changing. And if you'll start checking your rear views, you'll find you got company. Five plain white smokies dressing up for a ticket writing party. Y'all were so busy copying my put on you didn't notice your little convoy was being in the field. You can start shutting them down anytime now. This is your CB Savage, the smokiest friend. Wall to wall and true top tall. That is all. Bye bye. I've been one of the greatest. First off, smarter than any haul and oath song. It's better than it. It's better. Oh, come on. The lyrically much more interesting than any Steve Miller song ever. Like if I run into Steve Miller, I'm going to go. You understand CB Savage is much more layered and much more interesting than Abra Kadabra. The Abra Kadabra is a special needs nine year old wrote it. This is finesse, layer and interesting. His voice change. Of course, it's the same guy. He changed it. Just keep thinking of who was the New Jersey governor that got caught doing gay sex acts in like the bathroom stalls. He didn't do it. He didn't. No, he did not. No, he did the he did that. He did the foot tap. He was doing the foot tap and then like the glory hole thing. Wasn't he? No, no, no. He just got busted for doing the code, the code, but wasn't it in like highway like truck stops and no, it was like Minneapolis bathroom airport. No, he was from New Jersey, I thought. Then it was a New Jersey bathroom. Well, some airports are all over the place these days. And sometimes you go to different places that were the plain land. Yeah, you and I were both in Nebraska last week. Oh, that's right, which is different days. Yeah. He's a Larry Craig Republican from Idaho who got caught playing footsie. Well, this is this is the guy. I don't know, but the guy got caught playing footsie in the airport bathroom as another guy. Was that a senator, though? I'm talking about I swear there was somebody in New Jersey in my car. What was he in or was he in a in an airport? But anyway, is is the is a singer songwriter of CB Savage still alive because we got a I got Minneapolis airport. All right. Ha. You got you got your own guy. 2004. New Jersey governor Jim McGreevy announced his resignation becoming the first openly gay governor in US history following an extramarital affair with a male staffer. And I could have sworn but not in a I could have sworn though that it came out like when he wrote his biography that he would go to truck stops and hookups. Okay, I'll buy. I'll buy that. But that wasn't that we're thinking two different. Yeah. I'm going to go to St. Paul Airport toe, toe, toe touch with the stall, which by the way is gross. All right. But why did it? Why did anyone cop to that? Like if you just go, well, look, I sat down on the toilet at the airport. It's a pretty narrow stall and I'm six foot two. And you know, I don't know how you roll, but I like came out and I hit it. I hit it on the other guy's foot. Like what do you want me to do? What's that make me gay? Like I feel like you could have talked your way out of that one, right? Yeah. I think it must have been an undercover cop or something. Rod Hart is no longer living. The CB Savage is gone. RIP to a legend. Yet Steve Miller carries on. What? What? We got Jones yet playing a concert this week. She is? She's always playing somewhere. With a great Rod Hart, the man who penned CB Savage. I wonder what else he did. I should look up. He has a great country artist. Farms, I can tell. That's the best country song of all time. Oh, he's from Michigan. Oh, yeah. He and Bob Seeger have that in common. That's right. Hart also wrote music and acted in the seventies. Steve McQueen rodeo, huh? Rodeo film? Junior bar. All right, listen. He's a hero. He's an American hero. And school age kids should know about this guy. He wrote CB Savage. He did the thing where his voice changed at the end. Nobody saw that one coming. Did anyone see that one coming? You think Phil Henry was a big Rod Hart fan? Probably. Also, I don't know if you guys saw Sinners. No, I didn't, but I've heard all about it. Michael B. Jordan. They're like, he's getting the Academy Award. He played two guys. The two guys he played were himself exactly the same with no variation whatsoever. Same facial hair, same dress, same voice, same tone, same cadence, same everything. It's one thing to play, if you're Mike Myers, you play this guy and then you play Mr. Evil or something, or people go, oh, or Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy, where you play your mom and your granddad and stuff. Being in a movie where you just play yourself two times. That's just a recut. Break a break of an eye. That's right. That's all. The person who should get the award is the camera guy who figured out a way to shoot you out one way and then shoot the guy out and then stunt double you hug. The cinematographer did get an award. Maybe that's why she got it. But Michael B. Jordan didn't do anything other than just act in his normal voice for both characters. Maybe, you said he was his cousin. Maybe something happened at the end. I didn't know. I only got about an hour in. If we're giving awards away for that, let's not forget Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan. That's right. I mean, Lindsay Lohan had to do a British accent and then a California accent. Let's not forget Hannah Montana. Hello. Hello, CB Savage. I liked that it was the 70s. And if a gay guy was talking to you, even if you're in a truck going 60 miles an hour or sweating and shaking in your boots. When you think about it, though, it's art imitating life, imitating art. This was a real thing. This wasn't made in a vacuum. This song did not come out of thin air. There's some kind of legend. Oh, yeah. Some kind of backstory. Yeah, people are, I think, called homophobia, but the laugh was the best. That was the best. Thank you. All right, let's not forget Hasselhoff played his evil twin and knight, right? Oh, my gosh. As well. And that's look at that facial hair. No Academy Award for the Hoff. All right. What do we got for news? The news right here in California. We have Gavin Newsom mocking Nick Shirley for exposing fraud right here. We have an image of this. Have you seen what he tweeted? It's a completely like made up AI image. I did. We saw it. It's not even like a how you do in fellow kids type meme. It says Nick Shirley right now, and it's a creepy looking dude with a whole bunch of cameras on and a pasty like zombie type face that says, Hey, can I see your kids? Yeah. Because I guess Gavin Newsom is upset that people are holding his state accountable for the hunt. What is it? Tens of millions of dollars of fraud right now. Yeah, it's going to get into the billions, I'm sure. It's such a bad look and such a weird thing to attack someone who's trying to uncover fraud. It's such an insane, but it's so funny because somebody pointed this out. And I think I liked it, Andrew, but he was Newsom gave, you know, he likes to do his sanctum onius speeches about Trump was making fun of him and his disability. And he did that super pussy move where it's like, don't you ever let anyone bully you? By the way, I love when people say, don't let anyone ever bully you. Here's the thing about being bullied. You normally don't have a choice. The guy's got 50 pounds on you. He's four grades above you and he's going to kick your ass. What do you mean? Don't let anyone bully you. If that worked, then no one would ever be bullied. You know, people go, I got bullied by my boss because he's rich and he's successful and I have no training and I show up to work drunk. And it's like, yeah, that's how it happens. When you're big and strong, when you're built like Tony Gonzalez, you don't get bullied, but when you're spindly, um, CB Savage, you then get bullied. But I just like he's, I like when the left goes, don't ever, ever, don't ever let anyone bully you. Don't ever let anyone talk down to you. Oh, I don't have a choice. Also isn't it victim shaming? Like when you say it's, it's your fault, like you let somebody bully you. Yes. Right. This is the problem. Right. Okay. So Gavin Newsom said to every kid with a learning disability, like those fucks could read this, don't let anyone, not even the president of the United States bully you. So okay. So now if you get bullied, it's your fault because you let them bully you. Dyslexic. Dyslexia. Well, it's far away. Dyslexia isn't a weakness. It's your strength. Well, it's not your strength. It's not. I agree. I think that's such a big. Yeah. Having a, Dude, I'm in AP classes because I have dyslexia. Said no one ever. Your club foot is not a weakness. It's a strength. So like when Stefani is dyslexic and people, some people think that Dolly Parton is right. So it's like, maybe it helps you with like your creative or it might turn, if you know, hey, I'm not very good at school and reading, I'm going to exert my efforts and my brain power to something else could, could be a potential strength, but that's not your average kid with dyslexia. I think it's really, really damaging when people are like, this thing that you have is your strength. It's, it's, it's, it's happy salad shooter bullshit. Nothing left is talk. It doesn't mean it's, it's everyone needs to be treated with dignity. Everyone needs to sit at the table. Everyone should. Yeah. I don't believe Gavin Newsom even has dyslexia. No, I don't either. I don't either. I don't either. Listen, it's such an easy scapegoat. Listen, I got tested for dyslexia. You can go in, you can get tested and then they can say it's positive or it's negative. They have a test warrant. So if you are Liz Warren or Gavin Newsom or whatever, or, or if you're Rachelle Linsky and you got your son vaccinated except for you didn't fucking prove it or shut up. Okay. But he, while telling everyone not to bully anyone, bully the 21 year old who was trying to uncover fraud by coming out with a hateful meme about a guy who's doing his job, which is great. By the way, $170 million already uncovered during his most recent trip. The independent state auditor apparently warned of untold billions in fraud across eight major state agencies back in December. Well, let me, let me, and let me say this to everyone all at once. People do this thing all the time. They go, well, you know, the, the, the right, just talking about Hunter Biden's laptop and the right says it's real. And the left says it's not. And the right says COVID came from a lab and we think it came from a wet market. And they say masks don't work and that taking the vaccinations not effective. And then they go, it's just one side arguing with another. Here's my argument. One of us is right. Yeah. There's either fucking fraud or there isn't fraud. Either a mask works or it doesn't work. Either the facts works or it doesn't work. It either came from a lab or it came from a wet market. I want to find out who's right. Let's get down to the truth. Let's get down to the truth. It's also worth noting that CBS news did a report on the California hospice fraud just last week. Yes. So a mainstream media outlet. Right. But they go, but here's what I'm saying. Their argument is, is yeah, maybe there's some fraud, but they're just doing it because those guys are Trump fans or they're just doing it or he's not wearing a mask because he votes for Trump. And it's like, okay, let's say that's true, but they're still fraud and the mask still don't work. So fuck you. Guess who's wearing a mask now? Oh. Did you say, see Mr. Jimmy Talerico? Jimmy T. James Talerico down in Texas that's running for Senate. Oh, that pussy. Yeah. God's binary, I mean non-binary. God has a penis and a vagina. And he also said that Mary, the mother Mary would have consented to an abortion. Jesus, he's such a douche. But he didn't have to. Well, that's in the Bible. You guys have fun with that douchebag. So he showed up wearing a mask, like an N95 mask at an event this week and saying that his campaign was officially vegan. That's funny. Last folks, it is March of 2026. And that guy, I mean, is he just going full Kamala Harris? Like what do the Texas voters want? Okay. I'm going to do the complete opposite. It is a weird thing because being elected is, I'll put it to you this way. I like steak tacos. Same. The first smart thing you've ever said. With the mics on. With the mics on. You said smart stuff off there. I like steak tacos. I do not really like chicken tacos. And I tell you Dawson, my enchiladas were ruined the other day because chicken and cheese starts with the same two letters. And the guy's writing it down. He's handing it to the Mexican guy. And I got, I ate, I ate it like a whole chicken enchilada before I really realized this is chicken. This is, cause it's all grated up and there's some cheese in there. You got to go pollo and queso. No chicken and cheese. Yeah. You're right. Learned some Spanish. Cheese so much better than enchiladas. Drying weird. But anyway, okay, here's what being, here's being a politician. I like steak taco. I like it much better than a chicken taco. But if I found out that everyone's voting for me prefers chicken tacos, like 87% to 13%, I might cool it on the how great steak tacos are talking, what idiots chicken taco consumers are because I would like them to vote for me. And then you go and you meet with some chicken farmers and you talk about how they're the backbone of the economy. And what, what a great service they do. So I don't get the guys that are going down the woke route. I don't get why, maybe they want their steak taco at night, but play it close to the vest, man. That people don't like this. It's fascinating, especially because it was like him versus Jasmine Crockett. And he seemed like the more moderate version for the Democrats to pick. Right. But now he's coming out the gate with this. Like does he think he can't lose? Did I Dawson and Andrew, did I get into my Jasmine Crockett equal time thing on this show or was I doing it with Drew? We talked about it for sure. Oh, we talked. We did talk a little bit about it. We talked about the stupidity of the equal time and how she like, yeah, how much money she ended up raising. Like she was able to play victim. What I'm saying is is equal time or more time is not your friend. If your ideas suck and you suck. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's no different. Sorry if I'm repeating. I can't tell if I remember us telling Drew this or you guys this, but you watch Dawson, you go and watch comedians all the time. You see guys up there struggling in minute two and really eating a dick by minute six and nobody ever says if they only had a full hour, right? It's like, no, this guy's bad and we got it. You find out just how long five minutes actually is when you are dumb. Kamala Harris did not need more time. She needed less time. And then as somebody brought up and maybe I don't know if it's a true or whatever, Joe Biden got elected because they locked him in a basement, didn't let him wear a microphone. That's why he got elected. Less time. Don't speak. Less time if you're a shit message. Being in this industry, you go on TV shows on the, all the time, right? Like you go over on. I'm highly sought after. You're highly sought after guests on a lot of TV shows. The way that you are able to expound and monologue and chat about a host of things on a radio or a podcast show are, it exposes your inability to have like a complete thought or a unique thought or perspective compared to people who do 90 second Instagram and TikTok reels. Right? Yeah. And even I would argue sometimes people are okay on cable news or on for a quick red carpet interview or something, but if you sit down with them for a longer segment, they ain't going to be able to hold their own. And so that's that application to what you're saying when it came to Jasmine Rocket and just how bad her, all of her ideas were. Yoo hoo, break a roof. Guys, a genius. Should that be? He's going to be missed. What year did that hero die? Oh, I don't know. When he died, the song came out in 76, 77. Guess who was in North Hollywood listening to Dr. Demento memorizing every line of CB Savage. So it was literally on the radio. Like it was a real song on the radio. It wasn't like a weird Al Yankovic parody song. Weird Al was on the radio on Dr. Demento as well. But everybody knew it was like parody. Well Dr. Demento has the name Demento in his last name. And so when he would play these songs, you would assume that it was always because there are a couple of country songs that sound like parody, but they're real country songs. Like there's one about like, did you see the 30 pointer? Or grandma got run over by reindeer. Yeah, I mean that's true. Andrew, you can clear my screen if you like. All right, what's the next next story? So hopping on over to the East Coast, New York City's mayor, Mamdani, used St. Patty's Day to complain about the genocide in Gaza. It's such a, it's so weird that people, by the way, he's got a nice little brooch on. He's got his little sunflower brooch on. He's nice. He's nice. He's a nice guy. He's a nice guy. I say this is over the past few years as we've witnessed a genocide unfold before our eyes, there has been deafening silence from so many. For those who have long cared about universal human rights and the extension of them to Palestinians, silence, however, is nothing new. For Palestinians are so often left to weep alone. Yet former president Robinson has never been silent. Not when she was president, not when she was high commissioner for human rights, and not in the decades since. As she once said, commemoration is a moral act. Her solidarity is many things. Hold on. This is for St. Patrick's Day? Yeah. So he's referring to former Irish president Mary Robinson, who at this breakfast honoring Irish New Yorkers. So apparently it was just a whole host of leftists. I don't know. I know some Irish New Yorkers and they ain't down for this. Well, they cannot go to Jesse Jackson's funeral or commemorate St. Patrick's Day without turning into some sort of political speech about either Trump or Palestine, which is fucking awesome. By the way, anybody. I know this guy hates Jews, but Jews should hate him because he's actually taking an event which is essentially the Holocaust and then grafting it on to what Hamas and the Palestinian government is doing to its own people. And apparently this president, she was the president of Ireland from 1990 to 97 and followed mom Donnie's lead. And after saying that St. Patrick's Day was a time to celebrate Irish culture and traditions, she said it's also a time to remember all those who may yet be living quote, under the shadow of war and suffering. It is really interesting. I have some Irish friends that came over for St. Paddy's Day dinner at the Krauth House actually. And there is a big correlation, I think, between a lot of Irish people that they feel because of the disenchantment with the monarchy and everything that went down historically there, that they feel like a connection to the Palestinian cause. And these air quotes because of, I feel sympathy for the Palestinian people. But that was England doing it to them. They view Israel as England, like the background of the situation. But the difference between Israel and England was doing it to them, Israel's not doing it. This would be like the Irish blaming the lucky charms guy for destroying their life. Yeah, everyone's six million liver pud liens. We're putting a gas chamber. Jesus. No, no, literally, like it's fascinating though how the narrative. They love it. They love the narrative. Here's what it is. Here's basically their worldview. And this is a problem. And this is why it can never be fixed. I'm going to paint a very clear picture. You have one house on the block and that block and that house, the one house on the block has a intact religious family who raises their kids properly, who mows the lawn, who paints the fascia. The dad works hard. The mom works hard. And they'll eat supper together at the same time. Without screens. Without screens. You're describing the crowd's house, Adam. They cook. Mama cooks meals. They say a prayer. And when they're done, they read. They read to the children. That's what they do. And they do not indulge in tobacco or alcohol or drugs. Then there's another house. That other house lets the kids run around in their dirty diapers, swears at each other, drinks, smokes, doesn't mow the lawn, and doesn't pick up the dog shit. Okay. And that house is a mess. Now, white, middle-aged white people and do-gooder-carons and all these other assholes around the nation, they look at the two houses and they go, why is that one house doing so well? And that other house is falling apart. And then they go, that house must be doing something bad to the house next to it. No, it's not that house. It's the people in the house. The people in the house, the Palestinians and the government and Hamas and all the warlords and all the terrorists you guys see fit to run your country, destroy your country, not the civilized country next to you. By the way, you know who wants you to get your shit together in your house more than anybody? Yeah. The guy living next to you. The nice house neighbor. He wants, he's tired of getting his outdoor furniture stolen by you. He's tired of his kids being punched by your kids. He's tired of your dog shitting on his lawn. He hopes very much that you get your fucking house together. That's what he hopes for you and for him. Because he'd like a relationship where he could borrow a cup of sugar and you guys could come over and have a beer and a barbecue. He wants that world where your kids can play in harmony together. That's what the guy in the nice house wants. He hates the fact that you guys have ruined your house, but you fucking ruined it. You did it. And you're being enabled by these guys' friends who then get in positions of power like the squad and Ilhan Omar and these assholes. And every time they grab a mic, they start talking about the one house that's actually taking care of business on this whole block. And by the way, everyone on that block known as the Middle East is living in a ramshackle piece of shit house because they won't get their shit together. You understand? No notes. Fuck off. Thank you. Inspiring. It's also kind of emblematic of what's happening in Iran right now too. It's everybody's like, well, wait, they're fine as they murdered tens of thousands of innocents in the streets. Jesus Christ. Wake up, Whitey. Wake up. Oh, you can't call mom Donnie Whitey. I guess you can call the former president of Ireland Whitey. She's probably really pasty white too. They're letting all the, you know, Europe's committing suicide. They're all idiots. You don't understand who these people are. They want you dead. They're suicidal, homicidal maniacs. Okay. They want you dead. Okay. Wake up. And speaking of more fans. By the way, when's this going to stop? When they stop wanting you dead, then that'll stop. That's when it stops. I mean, that's what Dennis Prager has been saying for years. Jesus Christ. I know. Like if Israel put their arms down, Israel would be destroyed. If Hamas put their arms down, then there could be peace in the Middle East. That's right. And maybe some Trump towers on the Gaza Strip. I don't know. That's right. That's right. All right. Speaking of people who love the Wulc narrative and SJP type crowds, leaked teachers union, K through 12 training presentation, railed against Trump administration and red state officials. This comes from Fox News, the National Education Association, also known as the NEA, which is one of the largest teachers unions in the country, with over three million members, conducted a training session last month with far left political messaging, according to a watch graph. All teachers unions need to be disbanded. They need to be broken up. They're fighting too much political power. They start calling the shots. They hurt the kids. They're a bunch of fucking crazy yentas run by, what's her name, motherless, soulless, godless, Roberta Weintraub or whatever her name is. Oh, no, you're talking, yes, I know who you're talking about, the lady during COVID who was literally sending notes to the Biden administration about what the teachers wanted to do. And then they just went off of that instead of data. Randy Weingarten. Randy Weingarten. I knew it would come to me. Yes. Yes. Randy Weingarten. So, who do you want teaching your kids? Nope. Angry lesbian? Nope. Who's, who's number one job is to have all her union employees go home and get paid while your kids just languish at home? Is that what you fucking idiots want? And don't learn how to read and write. The NEA training argued that the Department of Education is quote unquote now actively committed to violating civil rights. Okay, listen, they got to break up those unions. They want to protect vulnerable, vulnerable students at them. That's what they said. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They love the kids. They love children. They love the kids so much. They love to keep information about the kids from their parents. I love it. I know. They want to transition the kids and give them all just vote Democrat. So the teachers unions apparently took issue with Trump administration's designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization. You know, people who wear masks and attack innocent people in the house. Remember 10 minutes ago, remember 10 minutes ago when Antifa didn't exist? Yeah. It was just an idea. So there is, according to them, the clan is everywhere. But also doesn't exist. But Antifa doesn't exist. The clan is everywhere and Tifa doesn't exist. How come every fucking time I turn on the TV set, I can see Antifa fighting with cops, but I never see the clan fighting with cops? Like, I can find Antifa. I don't know where the clan is. They would argue that the clan is systemically involved in all of the decision making in the United States. There you go. They're calling the shots quietly. They're calling the shots. The training made it clear that there is an importance of adhering to gender pronouns and the specified gender identity of students, saying that educators can and should address students the way that they want, regardless of whether their identity differs from school records. Jesus Christ. Should I go on? No, I mean, yeah, but it's so sad what happened to teachers and what happened to society. But it's the unions. The unions have to be broken up. Well, and the NEA, like other teachers unions, have spent tens of millions of dollars funneling money to left-wing groups with critics pointing to the number of students struggling with poor test scores at the exact same time. Fox News Digital, of course, reached out to the NEA for comment and they said no. Back in January, by the way, there was a whistleblower employee within the NEA who spoke out against the toxic politics inside the union's headquarters. Well, you can't listen. Every large group starts to tack toward the left and it's kind of a weird thing. And there are probably examples in the defense industry or like engineering, the guys who build commercial buildings and stuff. Okay, if you have a business where you have to actually do shit, then you won't tack toward the left because you have to think in a pragmatic way, which means you won't think, you know, no nouns are neither here nor there. You're trying to build a dam or your defense contract or you're building a bridge or whatever that thing is. All right, but every group that is sort of idea-based always tax toward the left. Like, if you don't really have anything to do, like Sierra Club or ACLU or teachers unions, if your group is just an idea, then you can afford to go to the left and you always will. What's fascinating though is I think when it happens with corporations making the move to the left, I don't even know that the people like on the board or at the corporation care, it's like the loudest minority within the organization or the company that they're afraid of. And I think that you, the fact that, I mean, my mind was blown that they're apparently conservatives that work at NEA headquarters. Right. Like, I think that maybe they joined it because they believed in the original cause of the group and now they're like the lone warrior there all by themselves. And I think that sometimes that can happen in corporations and other types of groups as well. They'll usually, the left will weed those people out and get rid of them. Like if you were a voice on the right in this group of cackling yentas, sorry, they're mostly all women. If you were a voice on the right and you showed up after the election and you're like, I voted for Trump and I'm glad he won. You did figure out a way to get you out of there. But what's fascinating is they start to then eat their own though. Like you don't even have to be a full on MAGA wearing hat person. Like you, you could just be like a, Hey, what is, what's the data show for how lockdowns affected children in the country? Any true seeker would be thrown out. And that would be like red flag to them. Right. They start to eat their own because then if you're not left enough for them, they will destroy you. Yes. I heard a story the other day about somebody who had to do some type of work event and somebody had recently changed their pronouns, but she went off of the pronouns that was like on the documentation. And then the pronouns like got that she used got her in trouble or they in trouble. And then it was like a whole thing in the office of like, you didn't use my proper pronouns and it was like, but these were the pronouns that I had on the HR documentation. I know. It's my favorite. They eat their own. No, I agree. You had the woman at the LA, I think it was that it was California teachers union conference or whatever was explained. She didn't like the term homeless that we looked at a couple of weeks ago. That's by the way, the teachers group over there. She wanted to say on house neighbor or whatever. And the guy was like, well, but it was on the sheet. Officially like, okay. We're at another point where we're arguing with dumb people about nothing is essentially while the borders open and terrorists come floating. And there's homeless people everywhere. Right. Who are dying and dying and we're giving them clean needles because we think it helps them. Yes. Okay. One more story. Oh goodness. Well, I mean this ties, we're circling back to the song at the top of the. See me savage. I mean, listen to this. This involves vehicles and gay voice. Full circle. I didn't even know this was coming. Breaking one night. NASCAR has suspended driver Daniel die after he used gay voice on a live stream podcast. Apparently Tuesday, they indefinitely suspended him after a second major penalty against the young driver after he used what he called a gay voice to mock another racer doing during a live stream. Oh, here we go. Now, by the way, is it a little close minded to say there is a gay voice? Anyway, all right, let's I think so. Oh my gosh. Yes. They race Indianapolis. I love Indianapolis and Roger Penn State. I love Roger. Love you, Roger. As soon as I start doing a David Maluchus gay voice, I had a goal. So let's keep it going. So apparently the comments ran afoul of NASCAR's rules that bar members for making any statement that criticizes ridicules or otherwise disparages another person based on that person's race. Race color creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, age or handicapping condition. The organization said die apparently drove NASCAR's third flight craftsman truck series a developmental level below the top cup series and a second flight of a Riley auto part series. He's in 13 place after three starts. And apparently Maluchus, the guy that he made fun of is a 24 year old son of Lithuanian immigrants and races in the top flight. He apparently apologized on his social media and admitted fault over there. He said he chose his words poorly and I understand why it upset people. I'm sorry to anyone who was offended. Nobody was offended, not NASCAR. He also said if there's a gay driver. He also said he needs to be a better friend to the community. Okay. You know, the community. Yeah, he doesn't care. But here's the thing. We got to cut cage fighters, NASCAR drivers and infantry soldiers some slack. You know what I mean? They go, that guy sounded like, yeah, he just got stepped out of an octagon. He just got kicked in the head. You know what I mean? Like these are folks that do stuff that we don't do. It's a completely different culture and community. We cannot basically they need their own N word. Oh, meaning like a 20 year old. 22 year old NASCAR driver. Yeah, like a rapper can use the N word because that's his culture. Yeah. We go, the N word, worst word you can say, except for they say it all the time. Why is that? Well, we cut him some slack because it's a cultural thing. Making fun of gays is a cultural thing when you drive in the craftsman truck series. See what I'm saying? Yeah, our gay buddy, by the way, Dave Rubin has said, let people say gay. Like because it's it tends to be like a kind of bro-y thing that people do. Yeah. Who I mean, he's clearly a 22 year old. Yeah, Lima. His prefrontal cortex is not fully formed. Drives a race car. They're not, they're not, they don't. By the way, I didn't know who he was until nobody has popped up all over social media. So it's like you're giving the kid a bigger name. I don't know. I have mixed thoughts on this. If it was my son at 22, I'd be like, you're an idiot. Come on. Yeah. But who cares? Right. But also, unless this guy, he wasn't making fun of him being Lithuanian. And it doesn't say anything in this article from NBC News about whether or not he identifies as a member of LGBTQ. I want to know what the damage was. What's the damage? Who was hurt? Nobody. Exactly. Nobody cares. Who, who are the brothers that drove? Not LaBonte. Bush. There's, there's a couple of brothers that were NASCAR years ago. And one of them does all the commentary. And I always tell you that guy sounds gay, but he's, he's not. But there is a gay. I always say that guy. I'm not going to talk about him. You know what I'm talking about, but I cannot think of his name. He has a more feminine sounding tone. There are guys that are from parts of the South that are not gay, but they're kind of dandies, you know, they sound like that because they're from that part. Like there's some good old boys from Mississippi and Alabama that have a certain tonality, is that what you're talking about? Not really saying good old boys. I'm saying Southern dandy, like guys who would have owned a plantation back in the day and they sound. So we can't make fun of them because they're ancestors own slaves. Yeah. What was the two brothers? NAS, NASCAR announcing driver. It'll, it'll hit you. Tall guy. That's the Dale Jarrett. Now the brother Parsons, Benny Parsons. I don't think it's Benny Parsons. You'll know it when you see it. He's tall. He's a, he's done tons of NASCAR events and he drove and his brother drove. So I'm trying to think of who. I only know him from his picture, so I'm trying to find that. He'll drive me nuts. I can never think of this guy's name. That's kind of interesting though, because most of the time sports announcers have a very unique deeper tone. Yeah. And most of the time women, because our voices are at a higher register, like I actually, not because I'm sexist or self-hating woman, but like there's not many women that I will listen to for a long period of time because there are, there's a higher octave that is like less easy to listen to. So it's interesting that he ended up being like a, he can call the races because he has that kind of a voice. Well, he raced for a long time as brother race. And he was in the NASCAR booth for a million years, but I don't know why. Well, a lot of brothers race. It's not Jared. It's not the part of it. It's about the Hulheuser effectation. Yes. Yeah. I don't know why it's going to drive. I can picture him. He's tall. He's got dark hair. He's nice looking. He raced for a million years. His brother raced. I'm pretty sure his brother raced and he was in the booth for a million years. So I, and hopefully there are lots of people listening right now that are yelling this guy's name into the air and it's going to drive me nuts. And we'll find it soon as we get off the air. The first what the first suspension that this Daniel DiKid got actually makes sense. Waltrip. Yes. Now, why didn't Daryl Waltrip and Michael Waltrip? Well, why doesn't that come up faster? But anyway, yeah, this is the first suspension makes sense because he was 18 and he was taken out of the oval in 2022 for allegedly punching a high school classmate in the groin leading to a felony charge that was reduced to a misdemeanor before eventually being dropped. I like this guy. So we go from physical altercation to verbal altercation. I like that. That's what you want. That's the guy you went behind the wheel. All right.
