BetterHelp. You know it, you

0:04

love it, it's BetterHelp.

0:34

Hey

0:43

everybody, this is Chad Daniels and you have landed

0:45

in the middle of somewhere. Hello, how are you?

0:47

Thank you for coming back. What are you doing

0:49

today? I know you can't answer me, but just

0:52

think about it. What are you doing today? Across

0:54

from me, as always, is Cyrus Amundsen. What am

0:56

I doing today, Chad? I'm learning about Ozempic. Is

1:00

that the weight loss drug? Yeah, I don't think

1:02

that's what it, so I'm learning that it was

1:04

like a diabetes drug. Somebody explained

1:06

this to me today because there's

1:09

a new South Park out that is, and

1:11

I can't wait to watch it, it's a

1:13

special. Oh yeah, it's the one

1:15

where they go into the American

1:18

medical system. Yes. I

1:20

saw a clip of it and I can't

1:22

wait to watch it either. As someone who

1:26

I would say isn't the best friend

1:28

of the American medical system, I

1:31

can't wait. I know it has a lot

1:34

to do with obesity. I'm guessing there's shots

1:36

at Ozempic, so

1:38

I've been trying to learn

1:41

a little bit about Ozempic. Yeah,

1:43

that's what, I don't have anything more. I don't think I

1:46

should talk about it. I don't think I'm educated enough to

1:48

talk about it. I don't think anybody's at home. I hope

1:51

on today's episode, Psy

1:53

brings in some Ozempic, not just

1:56

knowledge, but hot takes. It's

2:00

a barefoot summer. I can't fucking worry

2:02

about all this Ozempic stuff. That's it.

2:04

I'm moving on It's an

2:06

interesting it's an interesting way to start a show

2:08

where you go Hey, I've been

2:10

learning about this thing and I'm like, okay, and

2:13

you go can't talk about it Can

2:15

I can I tell you can't talk about

2:17

it? Sorry NDA. Can I tell you about

2:19

a different thing? I've been learning about Sure.

2:22

I mean, are you going to I don't know

2:24

I also realized that we decided what we were

2:26

gonna start the show with and neither of these

2:29

things are it But something happens to my brain

2:31

when you're like, hello everyone. Is it are you

2:33

having a nice day? I'm having a nice day

2:35

where I just I get like the men and

2:37

I thought that was a decent

2:39

impression I get the I Get

2:43

the men in black flash and

2:46

I'm like, I forgot that there were seven different things

2:48

I wanted to talk about Oh

2:50

my god yesterday. We're driving to get coffee

2:52

Olivia and I and we're listening

2:54

to Hit me

2:56

baby one more time by tenacious d the cover for

2:58

Kung Fu Panda 4 Okay, and

3:00

we are ripping it and so I

3:03

go Oh, here's another song that will

3:05

sing loudly together and I start to

3:07

I have Siri on my phone The

3:09

little the little orb is like, you

3:11

know vibrating on the whole scene it's

3:14

breathing and I go hey Siri

3:16

and then Olivia just randomly

3:19

throws out a fact and For

3:22

the last 24 hours have not been able to

3:24

think of the song I was trying to play I

3:27

don't know what happened, but she zapped

3:29

me. I mean it is

3:31

gone There's not even a trace of it

3:33

not like oh, it's from this. Oh, maybe

3:35

it's this it is so gone I

3:38

don't know how she did it. It was

3:40

like some fucking voodoo shit And now do

3:42

you think that that is a happenstance of

3:44

a situation or do you think perhaps? Dementia

3:47

runs in your family, but you

3:50

wouldn't know about it because we don't know how

3:52

Steve turned out Well,

3:54

I don't think he had dementia and my grandma

3:56

had what we thought was dementia turns out traumatic

3:58

brain injury. Oh Jennifer

16:00

Lawrence, it's new on Netflix. It's where she gets

16:02

naked on the beach in a kung fu fighting

16:04

scene. Nope. You want some

16:06

porn. Go watch that. Anyways, the guy

16:08

from Dear Evan Hansen is on there,

16:10

and he just was spitting just

16:12

wildly. We just saw fireworks coming at us,

16:14

and we're in the front row of this

16:16

thing, and we don't want to dodge it

16:19

and ruin the show. And so we're sitting

16:21

there just taking shrapnel on the shoulders. It

16:23

was disgusting. And then he's in this movie, and

16:25

we're just, Olivia and I are all of a

16:28

sudden excited. That's the guy that spit on us.

16:30

We have simple lives. Because

16:33

that's a thing, right? Isn't that a thing

16:35

with live theatrical performances? Is the spitting, have

16:37

I heard that? Is the spitting a thing?

16:40

I mean, I have to think so, because

16:42

they're singing so forcefully. Like, these are trained

16:44

singers. This is not me singing on the

16:46

way to Home Depot. This is someone who

16:49

knows how to use their diaphragm to belt

16:51

out a tune, and then spit,

16:53

obviously, comes with it. Now, do you

16:56

ever think you get a high class

16:59

perv where you're up there, you're

17:01

in like week seven of a show on Broadway

17:04

or touring the country? I

17:07

mean, front row seats are hundreds of dollars.

17:10

And all of a sudden, you look down, and there's a guy in a

17:12

suit just like, ahh. He's

17:15

just waiting for it. He's got

17:17

his tongue out like he's taken

17:19

whatever that bread is at the Catholic Church, Body

17:21

of Christ. Communion? There

17:24

we go. Is that what it's called? Yeah,

17:26

I don't know what those are called, the wafers. I

17:29

don't know. I'm sure they have a name. Body of

17:31

Christ. Yeah, I'm sure they have a name, but I

17:33

don't know what the wafers themselves are called. What would

17:35

be really interesting is to go pay the $100 to

17:37

get to front row

17:40

seat, and then grab some spit, and then

17:42

frame someone for a crime. Yeah,

17:45

I'm just

17:47

going to move off the topic, because. Not

17:50

yet. What's your favorite musical? Oh, OK. We can go

17:52

back to musicals. But I, because we've been talking porn,

17:54

and spitting, and all this stuff, I just feel like

17:56

it's a dangerous path if we don't veer. didn't

20:00

feel that way and then she did feel that way

20:02

and then now she doesn't feel that way? No, no,

20:04

no, no, no, no. I do think it's been a

20:06

slight increase every step of the way in

20:09

terms of certainty. But I

20:11

still think if you saw her real

20:13

percentage, you'd be like, oh, I thought

20:15

it'd be higher for a marriage with

20:17

a child. So

20:21

I was the

20:24

second day. Oh, I love her getting

20:26

the truth out. The second day that

20:29

I invited her on, I was like, and

20:32

this is when it was at its

20:34

house, I was like, let's go to Book of Mormon. I

20:36

want to go see it. And it was with

20:38

Josh Gad and it was with the whole thing. But

20:43

we didn't go. And then

20:45

by the time there was a different

20:47

opportunity to see it, Josh Gad was

20:49

no longer in the production. So

20:52

yeah, did my wife cost me a fucking opportunity

20:54

to see Josh Gad in the Book of Mormon

20:56

all while only loving me 38% to 43% of

20:59

the way? Perhaps.

21:03

But. That sucks. She really

21:05

took it out because now when you

21:07

watch Frozen with Sunday, you could

21:09

be like, oh, your mom and I saw

21:11

that guy that's doing the voice of the

21:13

snowman in another

21:15

production. But you can't do that story.

21:18

Now what we can do is when

21:20

we did actually start dating because she's

21:22

in the animated film world, we

21:25

went to this thing called D23, which

21:29

also that it's a Disney

21:31

convention, but it does sound like a porn convention.

21:33

My brain is just in the porn sphere. Also

21:37

underrated aspect, funny aspect

21:39

of pornography is the

21:41

porn conventions where

21:43

guys who are such big fans

21:46

of porn, like I'm

21:48

going to a convention and I'm going to take

21:51

a picture with my favorite porn star. That's

21:54

so funny. And I

21:56

know there are people who are like, that's the grossest thing I've ever

21:58

heard. Perhaps. But can you

22:00

the old equation in comedy is

22:02

whatever it is that's bad Are

22:05

you funnier than the thing that's bad? So sure

22:08

is it gross? Sure. Yes, but

22:10

I tell you google

22:13

porn star picture with fans

22:15

and make sure you put

22:18

at Adult film convention don't

22:20

just end on that first part

22:23

Right don't end on that first part But put that do

22:25

not end at the first part put that whole thing in

22:28

And I think it's I

22:30

think it's so funny I think

22:33

and I think you should count the wet pants I

22:35

think you should count the wet pants. I think the

22:37

the percentage of guys that have wet pants Is

22:40

higher than jenna loving side. That's

22:42

what I think so Yeah,

22:44

I I like musical theater and I like

22:46

I like it all the way down here

22:48

shoob's his mom so

22:51

alex shubert king of hand land

22:54

The great shoob's uh

22:57

catch her miss so shoob's and we've

22:59

talked about the shabbles. He has a

23:01

perfect pitch right and

23:04

uh And I didn't know where that

23:06

came from and then his mom earlier

23:08

this year was telling us and who's

23:10

a wonderful woman Deb shubert

23:12

and she has to be she

23:15

has to be she's a survivor if somebody

23:17

with those hands came crawling out of her

23:20

Yeah hands first she's thank you. No, thank you. She's

23:22

like, did you ever hear that story about I don't

23:24

know if it's the korean His head's gigantic too. Let's

23:27

not forget about the head Have

23:30

you ever heard that story? I can't remember which

23:32

war it was But it's either the korean or

23:34

the vietnam war where like a soldier from the

23:37

other side went off into the mountains And

23:39

was like part of an operation But then

23:41

never received word that the war the operation

23:43

was over. So he lived up there for

23:45

like 28 years And

23:48

then he came back to society and he's like

23:52

Did we win like that's I'm

23:55

doing the story poorly, but you're like

23:57

that's the ultimate survivor

24:00

I think it's him and Deb Schubert. Yeah.

24:03

So. Yeah, absolutely. Because when she came to

24:05

22 years later, having

24:08

a 22-year-old son with a giant head and giant

24:10

hands, she was like, did

24:13

we win? And then he's

24:15

like, well, I got some good news and some bad

24:17

news. I have perfect pitch. That's

24:19

the good news. I got to tell you something. Shubes

24:21

came and did a guest set in Kansas City. Crushed.

24:23

Yeah, that's what Anthony Leo told me. Absolutely crushed it.

24:25

Murder did, I heard. Was so

24:27

fun. His mom, she told Jen and

24:29

I, because she comes over and hangs

24:32

out with Sunday sometimes, she

24:34

told Jen and I, she was like, oh, I'm

24:36

going to have to switch days when

24:38

I come over because I

24:41

got the role in this musical. And

24:44

I'm going to, I'm

24:46

going to have rehearsals and stuff. We're like, oh, that's cool. And

24:49

she just kept telling us about it and telling

24:51

us about it. And it was the night of

24:53

the opening. And we couldn't go. But

24:57

I wanted to stop by and

24:59

drop flowers off from

25:03

the three of us, me

25:05

and Jen and Kevin. Sunday didn't, he doesn't, I

25:07

refuse to give him credit. Sunday hates music. And

25:09

here's the thing, pay your fair share. Pay

25:13

your fair share. I know nobody else wants to work,

25:15

but that's not how it works in my household. If

25:17

you want your name on the card, get a job

25:20

and pay a third. And

25:26

I don't even need him to pay a third. I

25:29

don't even need, that's the sort of father I am.

25:31

Yeah, you're raising this kid to hump his

25:34

mom. I'm telling you, got to pay a

25:36

third. His stepmom. That's what

25:38

I meant. So I go,

25:40

I find out, I know what

25:42

the name of the musical is and I like, and I'm

25:44

new to Cincinnati. So it's not like I know what places

25:46

and things are. And I'm like, I'm going to run over

25:48

and I'm going to drop off these flowers and I'm going

25:50

to go home. And then I'm like, gosh, all the way

25:52

down in Cincinnati, downtown.

25:55

And I'm like, that's a weird place for like a

25:57

community church. And I get down there.

26:01

And I pull up to a place

26:03

I'm like, what the fuck, it's this huge

26:05

theater. And like the sort

26:07

of thing where you gotta park down the street and I

26:09

walk in and I'm like, can I talk to Deb and I

26:12

gotta walk, oh there's a guy here

26:14

wants to talk to Deb. And then I

26:16

go, I'll go ask her like that sort of shit. And I like

26:18

have to get broke. This is some

26:21

like, she's a fucking star. She's

26:23

like, she is like a super

26:26

like unbelievable musical

26:28

theater person who got

26:31

cast in this thing that this

26:33

whole time I was too stupid

26:35

to even ask, are

26:37

you good at it? And

26:41

she's whatever, she's fantastically

26:43

talented, which A

26:46

is a bonus because I haven't been to,

26:48

I mean, it's great, but I haven't been

26:50

to my other favorite type of musical theater,

26:53

which is small

26:55

town, small community,

26:59

patched together music.

27:01

That's dude, that's like. Get

27:04

the kids in there. Yes, that's like when you

27:06

go like everybody, which would you rather

27:08

do? Would you rather go to a WWE event? Or

27:11

would you rather go to a wrestling event

27:13

at a church in a small town where

27:16

they built a ring and some company that

27:18

tours the tri-state area is coming through? Right,

27:20

yeah, I'd rather do the. Always go to

27:22

be, you always go to be. Yeah,

27:25

that's very true. I actually was lucky enough to see

27:27

Book of Mormon. And there

27:29

is a song, if you have kids listening, fast

27:31

forward 15 seconds. There's a song called. If you

27:33

have kids listening, you're a bad parent. Jesus

27:36

is a cunt. And that's

27:38

the name of the song. And

27:41

they keep repeating it. And

27:43

I am shaking my row, I'm laughing

27:45

so hard. I had no idea this

27:47

is what I was getting into. I

27:49

honestly, and believe it or not, I

27:52

honestly thought that I was going to learn

27:54

something about the Book of Mormon. I thought

27:57

it was going to be not like a

27:59

churchy, Not like this. Humorous

28:01

but informative. Yeah. And I

28:03

was laughing so hard that the seats

28:05

around me were shaking. And

28:07

the person to my left,

28:11

I did not come with them. Old,

28:14

was not having fun. And me

28:16

laughing was making them extra crappy. Now,

28:19

the person I did go with to

28:21

my right, also not having

28:23

fun. And me laughing

28:25

made it even less fun.

28:27

And so now, I'm like,

28:29

I have insecure giggles. And

28:32

I cannot stop laughing. So anytime anyone

28:34

says anything offensive, I am almost on

28:36

the floor. I'm laughing so hard. It

28:39

was so good. Those dudes that do South

28:41

Park are so smart. It's

28:44

insane. They're the greatest for, in

28:46

my opinion, they are the greatest

28:49

comedic. Storytellers

28:51

is a weird word. But what I mean by

28:53

it is, and everybody

28:55

likes what they like, but for me, I

28:58

like stuff that

29:01

one scene dictates the next.

29:04

And everybody thinks they're masters

29:06

of satire, which they are. Everybody

29:08

thinks they're very funny comedy writers,

29:10

which they are. But every episode

29:12

of South Park, everything they've done,

29:15

or GASMO, baseball, all this

29:18

stuff, Book of Mormon, one

29:22

scene dictates the next. You never feel like

29:24

they're telling a story that goes, and then

29:26

this happened, and then this happened, and then

29:28

this happened. You always feel like they're telling

29:30

a story that goes, but this happened. And

29:33

so now, what's going to happen? I

29:36

just think they're excellent in

29:38

every, I mean, what

29:41

an interesting take. The South Park guys are

29:43

good. Hey,

29:46

everybody. This show is brought to you by

29:49

BetterHelp. It's sponsored by BetterHelp. It's brought to

29:51

you. It's sponsored. It's brought to you. I

29:53

think I nailed it. Hey, it

29:55

says here I'm supposed to talk about something.

29:57

I need to get off my chest. But

29:59

here's the deal. I also don't have to

30:01

get anything. off my chest because I have

30:04

been going to therapy. We all carry around

30:06

different stressors, big and small. When we keep

30:08

them bottled up, it can start to affect

30:10

us negatively. Therapy is a safe space to

30:12

get things off your chest and to figure

30:14

out how to work through whatever's weighing you

30:16

down. I'm telling you, I've talked

30:18

about it on the show all the time.

30:20

I've been working through stuff all the time.

30:22

I hopefully you've heard a change in me

30:24

because I have definitely felt it and I

30:26

know the people around me have felt it

30:28

as well, just from therapy. So

30:31

listen, you know, I

30:33

golf, traffic, my

30:35

kids abandoning me to live their

30:38

lives. You get it. That's

30:40

why I go. So if you're thinking about starting

30:42

therapy, give BetterHelp a try. It's

30:44

30:46

and suited to your schedule. Just fill

not nowhere. Back to the show. Hey,

31:20

everybody. Have you heard that

31:22

flavored air, the flavored air

31:24

category is quickly becoming the

31:26

leading alternative to vaping and

31:28

smoking? It's a whole new

31:30

movement towards better habits led

31:32

by the sponsor of today's

31:34

program, Fume. When my wife's

31:37

brother was in town, we'd been sent a bunch of

31:39

Fume packets in the device and

31:42

he got pumped. He tried it.

31:44

He loved it. The flavored air

31:47

category is the new

31:49

thing, folks. Fume is an award-winning flavored

31:51

air device. It's not like

31:53

vaping. If vapor was compared to

31:55

sticky soda, Fume cores are closer

31:57

to like herbal teas.

32:00

Fume has a lot of delicious flavors

32:02

to choose from like crisp mint, orange

32:04

vanilla, and on and on. And

32:07

it helps fill the void of ditching a

32:09

bad habit can

32:11

leave. You still have something

32:13

to reach for. There's no batteries, there's no

32:15

toxic flavors, there's no nicotine, there's no vapor.

32:18

Looks awesome. I think that's what Tyler liked

32:20

about it. And

32:22

they continuously invest in third party studies

32:24

to ensure the safety of their products.

32:27

32:29

32:57

let me ask you something. So you're going

32:59

to be coming back in the summer and

33:01

stuff like that. Is there anything from the

33:03

Midwest, like any Midwest traditions, anything that you

33:05

only see in the Midwest that you miss?

33:08

But it's maddening, but

33:10

also you miss it because

33:13

it's from your childhood? Because

33:15

what you're saying is I'm coming from Ohio,

33:17

and Ohio even though people think it's in

33:19

the Midwest, it's- It's

33:22

the Eastern time zone. And geographically, it's actually

33:24

in the East, but you and I both

33:26

know it's technically in the South. Yes,

33:28

that's right. Yes.

33:34

I would say, I think

33:37

an easy one is passive aggressiveness. Just

33:41

like good old

33:43

fashioned business

33:45

place. I came in here for

33:47

a service, passive aggressiveness. I think

33:49

that's a good one. Yeah. I

33:52

like a passive aggressive like, oh, I

33:55

didn't know that's where that went. Yeah. You

33:58

know what I mean? Absolutely. It's

34:00

like hey, you don't fucking put that there.

34:02

What are you fucking doing? Yeah, it's oh,

34:04

I didn't know that's where that went Okay,

34:07

so you go. Oh does it go there?

34:09

Oh, I should question everything about my entire

34:11

existence Exactly. My mom I've said

34:13

it a million times when I used to ask

34:15

for rides. She'd go sure

34:19

Which is like ruin the word for me now

34:21

when people say sure I'm like, okay fine. Fuck

34:23

it Yeah,

34:26

so so here's here's my favorite thing the

34:30

the politeness That

34:33

ruins other people's days right,

34:36

I talked in a special of mine dad channels

34:38

about the Person at

34:40

the four-way stop that's like no you go.

34:42

No you go and you're behind him like

34:44

fucking go, dude I

34:47

had the pedestrian version of that. There's a

34:49

place in Fergus Falls called the Viking cafe

34:52

Which has been voted like best breakfast maybe

34:55

best restaurant But for sure best breakfast in

34:57

the state for a bunch of times. It's so

34:59

good It's like, you know, you go to LA

35:01

and you go. Hey, can I get some bacon?

35:03

They're like what kind you're like Fucking

35:06

bacon. That's what they have at

35:08

the Viking cafe you go What kind of

35:10

bacons do you have and they're like, oh we have

35:12

bacon bacon and we have pancake pancakes and we have

35:15

ham ham And we have hash

35:17

brown hash browns. There's no like fancy

35:19

name. There's no fucking blueberry marmalade in the

35:21

hash browns It's just you're getting what you're

35:23

getting I mean, you don't have to attack

35:26

the blueberry marmalade, but I agree with the

35:28

overall sentiment But you're getting what you're getting

35:30

right a lot of old's go there tons

35:32

of old's the fact that I haven't watched

35:34

a person die in that

35:37

place is amazing, so there

35:39

is a long hallway because you have to

35:42

go from the restaurant and Then

35:44

there's a long hallway that shares a wall

35:46

with the kitchen and then it's like I'm

35:48

gonna say Yeah 30

35:51

feet Okay, now more

35:53

than that. I'm gonna say it's 50 feet. Okay,

35:55

and you have to go out to the back parking lot So

35:58

I opened the door from

36:00

the restaurant to go towards the parking

36:02

lot. And then a woman

36:04

opened the door, an old woman opened

36:06

the door from the parking lot to

36:08

go into the restaurant. And I go,

36:11

I'll hold it for you. And she

36:13

goes, no, I'll hold it for

36:15

you. And I go, nope,

36:18

I insist. We are holding the

36:20

door. Now people need to get in from her side

36:22

and they need to leave from my side and no

36:24

one's moving. And there's 50 feet

36:27

of just emptiness. And

36:30

it was like, it felt like a,

36:32

you know when you see all the

36:34

horses, like in Braveheart, you have the

36:37

English horses are holding and then Braveheart's

36:39

like, hold, and he's back there. And

36:41

then there's just an empty battlefield. That's

36:43

honestly what it felt like. So

36:47

then we just

36:49

like, just like at a four-way stop when

36:52

two cars start going at the same time.

36:54

And then now everyone's like, well, what the

36:56

fuck, man? You said go. And I said

36:58

go and now we're both going. That's exactly

37:00

what happened. We flooded the hallway with

37:03

people. There

37:05

were probably 10 people in there and

37:07

we are now shimmying and like dicks

37:10

on thighs, boobs on

37:12

shoulders. It was so

37:14

ridiculous. If one person just would

37:17

have walked, but that's not how

37:19

it works. In the Midwest, you go, I'll

37:21

hold it for you. Nope, me. And then

37:23

the next thing you know, you're just shimmying.

37:26

Dude, I was in

37:28

the middle of it all, just started maniacally

37:30

laughing. As you're rubbing a

37:32

dick on a stranger's thigh to try to get

37:34

by him. Yeah, just laughing. You're like, oh, that's

37:36

what the fifth pocket's for. I

37:42

think it's impressive that the two of

37:44

you are not sitting there dying,

37:47

still holding the doors. Like it's one

37:49

of those last hands on a Kia

37:51

Sorento contest at a mall. Yep, yes,

37:54

absolutely right. Just like, I'm not, I

37:56

have to pee. Oh, oh, not anymore.

37:58

There's something about... Just wet pants like

38:00

you took a picture with a porn

38:02

star? There's

38:07

something about... I

38:09

know most people don't want help. Some

38:13

of us really want help, but you want

38:15

help when you say, I want help. I

38:19

think uninvited help to so

38:21

many people feels like an

38:23

insult of your capabilities. If

38:26

you are power ranking the

38:28

people who take an offer for help as

38:31

an insult, I think

38:34

number one... It's

38:36

not even close. Our guys with those nut sacks

38:38

hanging off their trucks. But

38:42

I don't know how far below it. It

38:45

is 60 plus

38:48

year old women from the upper

38:50

Midwest. You

38:53

cannot help... If

38:56

you dare assist

38:58

one of these old crows and

39:01

in some way insinuate that they can't

39:03

shovel their own driveway... Because you know

39:05

their family's been trying to put them

39:07

in assisted living for quite some time.

39:10

You know their family... And they just have

39:13

to keep proving it, yeah. Grandpa Frank died

39:15

years ago and it doesn't matter that all

39:17

her kids get together and they keep throwing

39:19

mini interventions to try to move her into

39:22

a place where other old people play cards

39:24

until they pass away. And

39:26

you know that she has that feeling like

39:28

if I let this doorway... Like it's a

39:30

prank show. She goes, okay, you

39:32

hold it for me. And then her kids pop out

39:35

of the walls. We told you. And

39:37

then they put her in a van. These

39:40

old women in the

39:42

upper Midwest hold on to that

39:45

and refuse help in a way like

39:47

very few people out on the

39:51

planet earth in my opinion. I

39:53

agree because if you do hold the door and they

39:55

take it, all of a sudden they're like, oh you

39:57

need someone to hold the door for you? to

40:00

the retirement center. Give

40:02

us your driver's license. Give

40:04

it here. So I've

40:06

also noticed, like

40:09

I had this conversation with a woman once, I

40:11

said, do you need help with your groceries? Because

40:13

I just had one bag. I'm like, do you

40:15

want me to carry these two bags? And she

40:17

was like, I don't need help carrying my groceries.

40:20

And I was like, OK, but chivalry's

40:22

dead. And who's to blame?

40:25

It's me? I'm to blame for chivalry being

40:27

dead? Or are you yelling at me for

40:30

asking if you needed help? Is

40:32

to blame for chivalry being dead? Because

40:34

I think it goes generational.

40:37

I think you have millennials. A lot

40:39

of female millennials will not accept help as

40:41

far as putting the suitcase up on

40:44

the plane. I've noticed Gen

40:46

Z will. And I don't

40:48

know if they're lazier. I

40:50

don't know if they're terrified because I am

40:52

an older man. Let's

40:54

talk about younger generations as

40:57

an older generation. What a

40:59

fun pastime. I

41:01

think, because I don't even

41:03

know what they are. I don't know exactly what age Gen Z

41:07

is, where a millennial starts in Gen Z

41:09

is. But

41:11

let me frame

41:14

this right. Uh-oh,

41:17

somebody's about to get canceled

41:19

up in this bed. No,

41:22

no, no. The thing I wanted to

41:24

say was I think it's important to hang out

41:26

with young people. But

41:29

I think you've got to be careful

41:32

about how that comes out. So

41:34

I wanted that minute to say it exactly

41:36

like I just said it. It's important to

41:38

start. I got lucky that Ethan, my nephew

41:41

Ethan, and my niece Ellie were

41:43

younger than me, but not so much younger

41:46

than me that now I'm this age and

41:48

they're 12 or 14. They're

41:51

Ethan 30, I think. You

41:54

have that. That's when I'm turning

41:56

29, he's 19. So

41:58

you have a glimpse into. what that

42:01

universe, because too many people get

42:03

older and they're like, fuck kids today.

42:06

And I think that's so

42:08

uninteresting to me. I

42:10

think, you know, you don't have

42:12

to worry about what sort of art they like, it's

42:14

fine. And so I just,

42:17

I think it's, I always think it's, you

42:20

should always find a way to,

42:22

in a non, you don't wanna be like, let

42:24

me see your kids. But I think it's important

42:26

to be around and just let young people talk

42:29

and then be like, oh, interesting.

42:31

And here's what I, here's what

42:33

is my understanding of

42:35

Generation Z is, I

42:38

think they don't care about all of our shit.

42:42

And everybody above them. I

42:44

think from boomer through millennial, there

42:46

is so much drama. It's like

42:48

when you go to a family

42:51

reunion or like

42:53

Thanksgiving and you have the uncle

42:55

who's speaking politics and the young

42:57

daughter who's arguing with him and

42:59

the dad who's saying how things

43:01

used to be and the

43:04

brother who's like, you would never survive

43:06

in my job. And then the cousin

43:08

who's like eight years younger than the

43:10

two things, he just went on a

43:12

walk, smoked up a little bit and

43:14

he's eating his turkey, watching the parade,

43:16

just giggling to himself. That's Gen Z.

43:18

I think there's, I think it has

43:21

been so exhausting to listen to

43:23

the boomers through Gen,

43:27

through the millennials discuss each

43:29

other as though they're the problem

43:31

that they, I just think

43:33

they're in a different universe. Yeah,

43:35

I think that Gen Z would

43:38

rather not listen to millennial or

43:40

Gen X or boomer, whatever the

43:42

other one is past boomer. Greatest

43:44

generation. Greatest generation. I think

43:46

they would rather listen to greatest generation because

43:49

greatest generation isn't like, here's

43:51

what's wrong with this country. Greatest

43:54

generation is like, this house wasn't even

43:56

here when I was a boy. What

43:58

do you think a new generation- It was far more. What

44:00

do you think a new generation has to do

44:02

to be put in

44:05

that goat conversation? Obviously

44:07

we're having the LeBron Jordan conversation.

44:09

What is the new generation? Are

44:13

people too sensitive? Are we

44:15

never going to have another greatest generation? You're

44:17

never going to have a greatest generation because

44:20

that was about liberating the world. That was

44:22

about liberating an entire group of people. That

44:24

was about coming in and being the- Was

44:26

it though? It was about coming in and

44:28

being the- That's the story we tell. Yeah, but I mean about

44:30

a war. That's

44:33

the story you're going to get. You

44:35

have this- I know. I'm

44:37

really big into, as you know, saying

44:40

stuff that people hate. Keep going. Oh,

44:43

believe me. There were people writing letters

44:45

over fighting. They made it through D-Day and

44:48

their first letter home was like, they didn't

44:50

let the black people in the school yet,

44:52

did they? I get it. I understand where

44:54

you're coming from. There's a really great documentary.

44:58

You know me, I'm boring. I've

45:00

watched most of Ken Burns' stuff. There's

45:04

a really interesting- I don't know how that's boring. He's

45:06

rad. He's the king. But

45:08

I don't think, I don't, yeah, whatever. Why

45:11

am I being self-deprecating about this? Because that's what

45:13

you do all the time. You always have to-

45:15

Oh, is it Chad? Yeah, you son of

45:17

a bitch. Is it? You have to

45:19

preface everything with, hey, I know this isn't

45:21

cool, but this is something I

45:23

did. I know you're not

45:25

going to like this. I know this is automatically a

45:27

no, but I'm just going to tell you anyways so

45:30

then you have the information to say no. Yes,

45:32

exactly. And perhaps that's a

45:34

reflection of my experience and the

45:37

way I feel about myself in

45:39

today's day and age. Now-

45:42

Suck it up, butter cop. I'm a boomer. Have

45:45

you? Have you? Have

45:47

you seen, he did one a couple years ago

45:50

called the US and the Holocaust? Okay.

45:53

Oh, it is. It's

45:58

not quite as good as the video. Vietnam

46:00

one because I mean, cause that one is

46:03

it's, that's just, you have people who

46:05

experienced it from all sides actually speaking

46:07

to a camera, but it is, if

46:09

you want a, you

46:12

know, a non political, non

46:15

agenda based understanding of

46:18

the United States and how it existed entering World

46:23

War II and the Holocaust, it's

46:26

pretty good. It's pretty informative. I

46:28

bet. Yeah. He's, he's one of

46:30

the best. He's the king. So

46:33

anyways, to answer your question, I think

46:35

that Gen Z they could cure cancer

46:38

or they could stop global warming or

46:41

they could do a whole bunch of

46:43

stuff that would put them in the

46:45

conversation for greatest generation.

46:48

And there are so many people that

46:50

go, well, we need cancer. We

46:52

need cancer to sell the drugs. And there's so many

46:55

people that go global warming isn't real. They didn't fix

46:57

anything. They just said they did. So

47:00

I don't, I don't think there's ever going to be

47:02

a greatest anything ever again. I think,

47:05

you know, just waiting for the

47:07

sun to burn out, dude. So we all

47:09

freeze. Well, I saw Dennis

47:11

Quaid on a podcast talking about some

47:14

sort of solar flare that's

47:16

going to shut down our electrical grid. So,

47:19

God I hope so. That's going to take care of our debt,

47:21

right? I mean, it

47:23

has, it would have to, you would assume, you,

47:26

you would assume at that point, all that

47:28

matters is property and bullets. So

47:32

God damn, is that the name of

47:34

my new album? Not

47:37

my comedy album. My,

47:39

it's my, I'm actually, I'm going on, Hey, I

47:41

need to tell everybody this. And then I want

47:44

to, don't let me forget what I was going

47:46

to say about the younger generation. Okay. I'm

47:49

planning a tour. Yeah, you are. I'm

47:52

going to get not just like a two city tour,

47:54

like an eight month, not

47:56

all the time, but I'm going to go on some dates

47:58

tour. Eight

48:01

to ten months. So the my The

48:03

people who are helping me who are reaching out

48:06

to the places We are gonna be doing that

48:08

in the next few weeks and the tour is

48:10

going to start after the summer at

48:12

some point Yeah, the phone number.

48:15

I know some of you. I know some of you

48:17

texted it because You thought

48:19

I might come to see but now you

48:21

have the opportunity to add yourself to the

48:24

list So I

48:26

know where to come because basically I'm taking

48:28

this text list and these are

48:30

the cities I'm hitting whichever ones are the

48:32

most so if you haven't texted yet text

48:34

the word show To

48:38

two zero two seven seven one five

48:40

one Seven

49:37

49:40

49:42

That's whatever. That's the interesting part about that

49:44

class boss move It is

49:47

a boss move. So I'm gonna tell you two

49:49

things to end the show Okay,

49:52

one three things because of the younger generation. So the

49:54

younger generation is one of the two things So

49:57

I really I really my favorite thing

49:59

is the know Nobody wants to work

50:01

conversation. I love it. And I love

50:04

stirring it up. I love being in

50:06

the center of it. You could be

50:08

talking, you could be talking about how

50:11

great of a business that you went

50:13

into today. And if we're in a

50:15

group of people, I'm still gonna go, yeah, but nobody wants

50:17

to work. I love it. I

50:20

can shoehorn that into any party

50:23

ever and just watch everyone spin.

50:26

Now, have I told you about what somebody

50:29

wrote on my, what was on

50:31

my Jiffy Lube? My

50:34

Jiffy Lube transmission

50:36

fluid. But I

50:39

don't often see you holding something for

50:41

this program. So I'm excited to hear what's on there.

50:44

So I went in, had

50:47

a bunch of stuff done. Got my oil

50:49

change, check my air filter, check my wiper

50:51

blades, break fluid level transmission fluid,

50:53

you know, the run them up. I got

50:55

the run them all. Pat

50:57

Summerall, run them all. Guns and bullets and property. I

50:59

don't remember what the album was called. Anyways, I think

51:01

that album should be a spoken word. I think I

51:03

should also go on a spoken word. You said two

51:06

things. You said two things, dial it in ADHD. Here

51:08

we go. I know, don't you

51:10

fucking dare. I'll call Kelsey and

51:13

your mom and I'll hand them

51:15

a book of evidence. Keeping

51:19

it to myself, cause I want to keep you

51:21

wild and free. I

51:24

want you to be like that grizzly bear. They're like, why

51:26

is his hair so patchy? So

51:30

on the bottom of the Jiffy Lube work

51:32

order that

51:37

they hand to you, the invoice, where it says your

51:39

price and everything, they have this

51:41

thing that says messages. You can see it

51:43

right there. It says little column that says

51:45

messages and they

51:47

have some things down there. Like

51:50

a shop supplies fee of $4 may

51:53

be added to your invoice

51:55

to cover non-itemized supplies. If

51:58

you had your wheels, tires, or bike. break serviced

52:00

please return in 50 miles to have your lug

52:03

nuts retorked.

52:06

And then, oh man, you ever had your lug nuts

52:08

torqued? Daddy. My stepmom

52:10

did that once. So

52:13

right in this message, somebody

52:15

just wrote the words. No

52:17

one wants to work. Like

52:22

it's Jiffy Lube slogan. Sorry

52:26

it took so long brother. I ain't

52:28

nobody want to work. Oh

52:30

God. That's great. Uh, last thing.

52:32

So I've been trying to name the

52:34

tour, which you can get your city

52:37

on by texting show to two zero

52:39

two seven, seven one five one seven

52:41

one. Uh, and

52:43

I knew you wouldn't help me because

52:45

you often ask me about two. I

52:47

think a big secret is naming a

52:49

tour is the most. One

52:52

of the more unenjoyable parts of

52:55

performing and going on tour. It's

52:57

difficult. So I

53:00

outsourced it to friends.

53:04

And if you are a long time

53:06

listener of this program, you remember Joseph

53:08

Matthew Gill. Yeah. And

53:11

you also remember that Cy outsources most things

53:13

to his friends. He

53:15

was a single episode producer

53:18

of middle of somewhere. Uh,

53:21

he's a close friend of Madonna

53:23

scale, Ethan's. And so I threw

53:25

into the chat with he and

53:27

Ethan, I need a tour name. I don't

53:29

have any, uh, and

53:31

I don't want it to do anything to do with

53:34

the material or I just a bland normal to her

53:36

name. Um, and

53:38

Ethan wrote, cause he knew what was

53:40

going to happen. Okay. Okay. I

53:43

look forward to Joe's suggestions. And

53:47

then for three days, I got

53:50

peppered with suggestions. Are you ready?

53:52

You did. I am absolutely ready.

53:55

First one he eased in

53:58

just cause he's always, he's. He's always

54:00

trying to undermine anything I've created. Like

54:02

my two albums were called Love Sick

54:04

and Toledo on Monday night. He's always

54:06

trying to undermine him by minimalizing him

54:09

through jokes. But his first was

54:11

something simple, Love Sick and Toledo

54:13

on Monday night. And

54:15

I was just like, okay, he's being a dick

54:17

in this. He's gonna put one suggestion in and

54:20

then he's gonna move on. That was lazy. Joe's

54:23

better than that. He's clearly busy. And then

54:25

wham, here we go. All

54:27

American penis. Bucking, cucking

54:30

and keep on trucking. Hello,

54:32

are you there? It's me,

54:34

jokes. Sleepless

54:37

in Bill Cosby's house. Dude,

54:40

where's my cardigan? A Bronx tail.

54:42

Cancel this bitches. Who

54:44

let the jokes out? Who, who, who,

54:47

who? Cy

54:49

Amundsen, wit happens. No jokes

54:52

left behind. For whom the

54:54

bell giggles. Chad's

54:56

friend. Fat

55:02

clouds, bigger gaffes. No

55:05

vaping inside the bus. Ghost

55:07

riding the quips. Black Larry

55:10

Bird. Special comedy

55:12

from a special boy. I truck you fuck. Bricked

55:18

up in boy town. The

55:22

R Kelly of comedy. Size cries

55:24

lies in cream pies. Hunter Biden's

55:27

bunter hiding. Blink 42069. Field

55:32

of, in parentheses, homoerotic and confusing

55:34

dreams. Laugh so you

55:36

don't sigh. The nine out of 11

55:38

tour. The sum of

55:41

all queers. More than Jake.

55:43

Thick girls don't cry.

55:45

White chocolate thunder. Unabombing. Less

55:50

than or equal to Jake. Incredulous

55:52

at Denny's. Precisely equal to Jake. To

55:56

Jake. This

55:59

one. just says the words Fox

56:02

Jeffworthy. You

56:04

know the show Wildin' Out? He

56:06

suggested Wildin' Closeted. Longtime,

56:08

no talk, Mr. Epstein.

56:10

And then the

56:13

American Boy Doll tour, the

56:15

Petty Townie tour, the Save

56:17

Our Quiznos tour, Stars

56:19

and Grapes Forever. And then I just

56:22

said after three days, I was like,

56:24

that's enough? Almost

56:26

three days, zero

56:28

help. And all he wrote

56:31

back was the Ungrateful Comic

56:33

tour, the Hurtful Friend

56:35

tour, the Tasteless Man

56:37

tour. And then he

56:40

ended with three words that

56:43

I don't know how it's never been

56:46

put together given the pop

56:48

culture phenomena, but he said, the

56:50

Insane Clown Pussy tour. So

56:54

I'm not, I don't know what I'm going to name it, but

56:57

text me.
