Go to the city market and start sniffing.
Our aroma has been described as a mixture of flea powder for goats, Tabasco sauce, and
old sock with dark fuzzy urine.

Supplies are limited, so act now.
Two Toolbags in a Socket Wrench will be right back.
Well, I recently learned that Major League Baseball has instituted a pitch clock.
Oh yeah?
I think it's like 30 seconds.
Two douchebags, one microphone Mark.
Oh yeah, sorry.
I'm Toford.
Alright.
There we go.
So, Major League has a pitch clock now.
They're really proud of it too.
Yeah, and it actually is speeding up the games somewhat.
The games are taking, you know, they actually end in your lifetime now.
And you don't go to sleep as often.
Yeah, really.
One of the drawbacks that a lot of ballparks are discovering is that the cutoff time for
beer sales is the seventh, bottom of the seventh inning.
Well, that's arriving a lot sooner.
So they're losing, you know, what, 30, 40 minutes maybe, about a beer sales time.
The idea for cutting you off at the bottom of the seventh inning is it gives you two
innings to sober up before you go out and get in your car and start driving home.
But apparently the stadiums don't care about that anymore.
Their beer sales are more important.
So now they're extending sales through the bottom of the eighth inning.
So there goes the whole idea of letting you sober up before going home.
Yeah.
It's like, nah, we're going to go ahead and keep serving you.
Now it's all up to you to not break the law.
Oh yeah.
And all the rest of you attending the game, now you've got to trust the drunk ass sitting
next to you to not do the wrong thing.
Well, I find it ridiculous that this was done on the grounds of safety, but then when the
game speeds up, this also means that you have less time to recover afterwards.
Yep.
And they took in the eighth inning, so the ninth inning, the game's over.
So you probably got maybe 10 minutes to sober up, maybe 15.
Yep.
It's bullshit.
It is.
Yep.
Yeah.
I'm sure when the instituted the policy of cutting off sales at the bottom of the seventh
inning, they took all sorts of credit for how much, oh, we care for the fans.
They were doing it to make it safer and more happily and friendly.
Okay.
Now they're used to that revenue and they don't want to give it up.
Yep.
So all that goodwill and all the happy is shown to be the obvious bullshit it was.
Well, they also know that the game's going to decline attendance wise if you can't drink,
because let's face it, teams like the Royals.
Yeah.
I mean, they're already way out of it.
They already suck.
They're already horrible and they're not going to do anything this year.
Why go to a game in July?
Even big time baseball fans will tell you, if I couldn't drink beer, no way I'd go out
to the ballpark.
It's boring as hell.
Yeah.
You know, if I can't drink beer there, I'm going to sit home and drink beer and watch
it.
And not watch it on Bally Sports.
Because beer has to be consumed in order to make baseball durable.
Why are you wasting your time on it then?
MOB knows this.
If I have to get stoned off my ass to listen to a certain band, I'm just not going to
listen to that band.
They're apparently not good enough.
Yeah.
Well, I find it absurd that they did this in the name of safety.
Then on the very next breath, they just don't say anything.
They're just like, well, we're going to extend beer sales to the eighth inning because games
are quicker.
Why didn't they just go ahead and say, you know what, we're just going to sell beer right
until the last second?
Yeah, they should.
And, you know, according to Missouri law, they could sell you a beer to go.
Yeah, that's how it's getting ready to go.
That's where I was going at is.
Yeah.
They're like, sell them a beer to go.
Everywhere else does.
This is why I've really changed my mind about self-driving cars.
I want them.
I want everybody to have to have self-driving cars because the people out there driving,
I don't trust a damn one of them.
I agree.
But a lot of times I don't trust myself.
You know, I've had some close calls and they go, holy shit, what am I doing?
No, I'm at them where I'm like fucking tired as hell headed home.
Yeah.
And yeah, you fucking almost clip another car.
You almost run off the road.
You're like, oh my God, man, if that happens again, I may not be so lucky.
Well, a self-driving car would be like, all right, dumb shit here is tired.
So we're going to go in and make a wheel.
I think before I'll be comfortable with a self-driving car, there needs to be a universal
system of how these cars navigate.
There has to be.
Right now, every company that makes a self-driving car has their own way of doing it and they
aren't necessarily compatible.
Yeah.
So it's like the Wild West days of early aviation where all you had to do is buy a plane and
just go fly.
Yes.
Crap's going to happen.
People will die and then regulations will get put in place eventually and it'll be a
safe way of traveling.
Yeah.
I like the fact that trains don't, they've got to set track they go in.
Airliners, they have big highways in the sky.
They travel in these lanes.
I think self-driving cars need to have a universal system like air traffic control.
In order for you or I, because we know better.
Some people might just jump right on board and some people never jump on board and go,
I'm not doing that.
So there has to be a universal system that's proven.
Yeah.
I'm not going to be one that, I mean, we're talking about like how you never get the first
of anything.
Like I referred back to Windows, I think a couple of podcasts ago.
I never bought the first Windows.
I waited until like the 10th one because if you buy the first one, you're forever getting
patches to fix this, fix that, fix this bug.
Yeah.
Well, this thing is no different.
Only your life's at stake.
Yeah, absolutely.
It was like, oh my God, we got a bug somewhere in this thing.
And they're like on the freeway, they're all doing somersaults and killing you.
Yeah.
And for some reason all our cars are driving into bridges.
Yeah.
I mean, you don't want to be that guy.
Yeah.
Everyone else can be that guy.
You sit back and go, yeah, that's okay.
Figure it out and I'll get it later.
Yeah.
So, yep.
Well, anyhow, I have some on a completely different note.
I have some Brett, not Brett, Farve, Aaron Rodgers news.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
The never ending saga of spin the wheel of Rodgers.
Yes.
There was momentum in March that Green Bay Packers quarterback was on his way to the
New York Jets via trade.
But a month later, it appears like the momentum has stalled.
Yeah.
You don't hear anything now.
There was one blurb I saw this morning buried way down that said, Jets still waiting on
deal that would bring Aaron Rodgers to New York.
Well, there's been a lot of interesting things that happened since then.
Yeah.
But, you know, a story like that is somebody who has no new information.
Exactly.
He's just churning the old information.
So, yeah, there's nothing.
There's nothing coming out.
Exactly.
I did that to keep your interest because I hope there's some news here coming up, but
they don't know.
Yeah.
So, according to Yahoo Sports NFL reporter Charles Robinson, it was Rodgers himself who
apparently given the Jets team owner, Woody Johnson, cold feet over pulling off the set
exchange.
Meaning that it was Rodgers appearance on the Pat McAfee show, which led things to go
uphill rather than downhill.
Rodgers reportedly said on the show that he was 90% retired.
Oh, that's a bad thing to say when you're.
Yes.
This made the Jets GM nervous about giving up a number two pick and possibly a number
one next year.
Yeah.
The Jets also reported that in order to give up another pick next year that Rodgers would
have to play and not retire, which I get that.
Yeah.
But the Packers seem to have an issue with that.
Yeah.
They don't want to give up their number one.
Yeah.
They don't want, I think the Packers know that Rodgers has got two and a half feet out
the door.
Yeah.
I mean, it's pretty evident with everything that went down ever since Jordan Love and
then him saying that it wasn't Jordan Love that is the way that they let everybody go,
which they did let a lot of people go.
Yeah.
So, this is a sticking point with the Packers.
The Packers have been just hanging out waiting for another team to delve into the trade market
for Rodgers, but he has the right of refusal of any trade.
Yeah.
I mean, so let's say Carolina calls, we'll give you everything you want plus more.
We'll pay his whole contract off.
They have the money, they have the cap room.
And then Rodgers go, I don't want to play for them.
Yeah.
Then it's done.
And then for all we know, that may have happened.
Yeah.
So, it would have to be a team ready for the Super Bowl.
Otherwise, he's not going to do it.
Yeah.
He'd have to be the clear starter.
Yep.
You know, I'm guessing most teams aren't even trying under that.
They're like, you know what?
Look what he's done over there and look at how he's acted towards them and look at how
he's treated them.
I mean, he's really, he's treated them like shit.
Yeah.
And all he needs to do is remember back when he was a rookie and how bad and how he went
around protesting, how Brett Favre treated him and Brett Favre admittedly treated him
pretty bad.
Well, why is he doing the same thing if it was so horrible?
Yeah, we wouldn't hire someone like that for our craft staff.
No, no.
He's bad mouthing all the other places he's worked for and he tells us he's, you know,
90% sure he's about to quit and never work again.
It's like, yeah, why the hell would we want you?
No, because, yeah, as soon as you go over to that other place, you're going to, number
one thing is going to be starting to fucking bitch on us and then pointing out our flaws
and everything.
Yeah.
So, to me, he's got no curb appeal.
No, no.
So, it's not happening.
And then I read this morning, I didn't have time to write anything out.
So let's see, hang on.
We have to Google search for Arrogant Rogers.
Arrogant Rogers.
Sorry, I got it, Texas.
Someone that I kind of knew passed away.
Sorry, caught me off guard.
Okay.
All right.
Shit, where was I?
Aaron Rogers.
Okay, Aaron Rogers.
At Green Bay.
Okay.
Green Bay signed him to a three-year deal.
That's surprising that it's not like plastered everywhere.
No, it's very under the radar.
Yeah.
And the GM went out as a Guggen, Kruss, Kahnsch.
Guggen, Scrumpl, yeah.
Google, Scrotum, whatever.
Golfenstein.
Golfenstein, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, Mr. Golfenstein, their general manager said he's related to Miss Golfenstein.
Yes.
Which she's missing in action this morning.
Yeah, the weather's nice and a lot of people out.
She's probably scared off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's too nice of an atmosphere.
She's like, I don't want anything to do with that.
Yeah.
So.
She likes to yell angrily and slam chairs around.
Yeah, yeah.
And that one wall, that one wall over there near Corollos, that gets it.
She hates that wall.
She does.
Oh my God.
I don't know what that wall did to her, but.
It's her whipping post.
It is.
Oh, she ruins her day.
So, so Mr. Golfenstein up there in Green Bay.
Yeah.
So he said that we come to, you know, reach a deal with Aaron Rodgers and we're happy
that he's going to be a packer in the foreseeable future and probably to the end of his career.
Yeah.
I don't know if I believe that.
I don't think so either.
I think it's a smokescreen.
They got a deal worked out with some team that Rodgers knows about.
Yeah.
I don't even know if it's necessarily the Jets.
Yeah, it doesn't have to be.
Yeah.
I can't imagine.
Well I can imagine the Jets doing that, but I don't think it's a smart idea.
No.
Yeah.
Never underestimate what the Jets might do.
Yeah.
But yeah, there have been a number of trades in the past where it was contingent on the
original team signing the person and then trading him with an existing contract.
Yes.
So yeah, that can make perfect sense that that's what they're doing with Rodgers is
they sign him.
Now the team bidding on him knows exactly what they're going to have to pay and how
it's structured.
That's a way to make him more attractive to teams that are on the pitch or thinking about
it.
Yeah.
So he's got a four-year deal and if you can manage that four-year deal with the team you
have and maybe hire some, I think that's another sticking point too is Rodgers has a set list
of people he wants.
Now let's say a team's willing to pay his contract.
They've got to have enough cap space or clear enough cap space with a draft coming up here
in two weeks to…
He wants weapons.
Yeah.
And yeah, you have to sign your draft and you have to get some free agents and other
ways too.
Yeah.
So…
But you know, think of it this way.
There's a certain car that you really want and you have to go to an auction and bid on
it because other people want it too.
That's where Aaron Rodgers used to be.
Now that's the point where, okay, the car is sitting there on the lot, you know exactly
how much it's going to cost and you're trying to figure out whether you really want
it or not.
I think it's…
That's where Aaron Rodgers is now.
I think he's a farm implement and on the back of a broken down barn, the barn's caving
in and he's back there and one wheel's off.
Yep.
He's no longer the prize calf that everyone's bidding on, everybody's interested in.
Now they've had to put a price on him.
Yes.
So that's a big step back for Aaron Rodgers that now he has a price affixed to him to
make him more appealing because that means no teams really want him.
There are teams that are just kind of waffling on him.
Yeah, they're like…
And this is designed to appeal to them.
The big thing now is getting the next Patrick Mahomes.
Yeah.
No, not little Joe Burrow.
Not Joshie Allen.
Or Justin Herbert.
Yeah.
Jalen Hurts, if he keeps it up, yeah, then he would be one of these guys.
But the thing is people want the next Patrick Mahomes.
Yeah.
They don't want a guy that they think will get him up there but not get him all the way.
Yeah.
They want a guy that can do it.
Yeah.
And the thing is, the reason they're not sold on Rodgers is not necessarily his arm,
it's his head.
Yeah.
Where is his head at?
His attitude.
If he's getting into his own dark thoughts again, he's going to tank your season.
Yeah.
Maybe he's not even going to do it intentionally, it's just he's going to be so…
Makes you wonder about Green Bay if he didn't intentionally just be like, you know what,
I don't care so much, so I'm not going to play so much.
Yeah.
So…
But when he does go somewhere, the team that gets him is going to hail this as the greatest
thing ever and so wonderful and Green Bay will have a big, you know, let's all suck
each other's dick kind of send off kind of thing for him.
When the reality is everyone's just going to be glad the whole thing's over and kind
of a goodbye and good riddance situation.
Yeah.
But they'll play it up like it's, you know, oh the best thing to happen to our franchise.
Well yeah, of course, they're going to sell it, they're going to super sell it to everybody
but then when it's… what needs to happen is for Rodgers to be successful is they need
to get out of the box like four and one, five and oh and have momentum.
Quick start, yeah.
Yeah, quick start and go see it's working.
If they flounder first and they got to work the bugs out in their three and three, that
might go to hell on them.
Yeah.
Yeah, the Chiefs just signed a receiver recently and there was virtually no fanfare about him.
I think that's what Rodgers…
Oh, the second one from the Giants.
Yeah.
See, that's what Rodgers deserves is for it to be like buried on the second page and
it's no big deal.
Oh, Rodgers sign?
Oh, okay.
But he wants to be, you know, like the sinking of the Titanic.
Oh my God, Harry Rodgers, what are we going to do?
Yeah.
Yeah, the signing of this receiver looked to me like he's not going to be a Kaderius
Tony where we literally got to steal.
No, yeah.
If that guy stays healthy, he's going to be a top receiver.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, this guy looks like a capable one.
Like if you get 600 yards out of him, you're going to have a good year with this guy but
he's not going to be the number one guy but in a Patrick Mahomes offense, do you really
need a number one guy?
No.
You have Kelsey.
Yeah, this will be a good guy to send in to spell other receivers.
Yes.
And, you know, someone that you can run in there and you can still throw to.
Yeah, yeah, he'll be a good blocker but someone that you can still throw to otherwise no one
will bother covering him.
Yeah, yeah, so this guy is going to be just another option in an array of people that's
going to be a revolving carousel, I believe.
Yeah.
You know, you got your guys that are up and coming, like Sky Moore, they believe he's
going to be something.
Tony, if he stays healthy, he's going to be something.
Valdez Gantling probably is learning more about the system, is probably going to be
even more effective.
And how it changes once the ball is snapped.
He's going to be the deep threat or one of the deep threats.
So I know.
Noah Gray is coming on.
Yeah.
Tied in.
Yes.
And they just signed Watson again, which was looking really good last year.
Yeah, yeah, he was really starting to click.
Yeah.
And this is where you're going to see quarterback making receivers, not receivers making quarterbacks.
Yeah.
And the Chiefs are smart enough to know this.
That's why they're not going after an Odell Beckham.
You don't eat them.
No, they proved it last year.
The Chiefs were dead in the water without Hill.
Their offense is going to go number one to maybe number 10 if they're lucky.
Yeah, they're not going to score nearly as many points.
They're going to struggle.
They're not going to sniff a Super Bowl.
Rebuilding year.
Rebuilding year, yes.
We lost Cheetah.
Yeah.
And then suddenly, all of a sudden, this is a rebuilding year and all rookies all over
on the defense and people are like going, oh no, no, they're done for now.
Oh wait, they won again?
Oops.
Yep.
You know.
See, that's what, you're right, every team is chasing that.
And Rodgers will never give you that.
I've heard of it as referred to as they stole one.
No, I don't think that.
I know a lot of people think that.
It's like, well, they probably shouldn't have won, but they did anyhow.
They should have won because they were the only ones that had enough guts to do what
it took and did it.
Yep, yep, yep.
It's earned.
I mean, every Super Bowl victory is earned.
Earned every fucking last drop of sweat.
So, anyhow, and they should be the favorites until they don't do this anymore.
Yeah, yeah.
I think everyone's learned their lesson.
Unless something insane happens between now and the beginning of the season, I think it's
going to take a lot to knock the Chiefs out of being everyone's pick as a returning favorite.
Yeah.
But stranger things have happened.
Oh, stranger things have happened, yeah.
And all it takes is an injury.
Yep.
You know, I don't know who our backup is going to be for quarterback because Chad Henney
retired on top.
Shane Bachel is the guy who's there now.
I saw him in preseason last year and he looked good.
He did look good.
He looked good.
I don't know if he's capable as a second string backup, somebody who can go in and bring the
game home.
If not, then they'll do like a Henney.
They'll get a guy who's been around for a while.
And the thing is, like I said, whoever they get, whoever they get are not going to be
just a run, you know, just pass it, give the ball off, hand the ball off.
Right.
They're not going to be that.
They're going to throw too.
Yeah, yeah.
They're going to come in throwing because that's what our offense is.
And if they can't do that, if they're not capable of that, then they're not going to
be there.
Yeah.
You could run the punter out there to take the snap from center and just hand the ball
off.
Yeah.
That's not what's going to happen.
No.
And we don't need a guy who's going to be a future starter either because Mahomes has
got that locked up until he.
Until he doesn't want it anymore.
Yeah.
Or until, you know, heaven forbid something happens to his body.
Yeah.
So.
Oh, when he's getting shit because he released some video of him in Trayland.
Out of weight.
Yeah, yeah.
Or out of shape.
Yeah.
Him and Tray Lance are practicing together and he's supposedly helping him out maybe
a little bit on his technique.
Yeah.
I don't necessarily care for that.
Yeah.
You don't see Ford's chief auto designer going over to Chevy and say, hey, let me show
you some things.
Yeah.
They're like, don't show them a fucking thing and get clauses on everybody that means something.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Clause on A with it means anything and they can't take any of our technology with them
and all that.
Yeah.
So.
So that kind of makes me think it was a PR move.
Well, it's been spun as they're sharpening their skills, both of them.
Yeah.
But they're trying to show, they're all, since Mahomes is not the new young kid anymore,
they're starting to show them in a mentor light.
Yeah.
I think that that is a PR thing.
That polishes his image a little bit too.
Yeah.
So.
So it's never too early to start working on Mahomes' image for after football.
And starting now is a great idea.
I agree where Brady did the opposite.
Even if he plays another 10 years.
Now all of a sudden stuff's starting to come out about Brady and people are starting to
motherfuck him after.
After.
And he's getting ready to hit the broadcast booth.
Supposedly not this year, next year.
Next year, yeah.
I'm still not sold that he is not going to be out of it somewhere.
Yeah.
That San Francisco, all of a sudden Brock Purdy, maybe that's why they're sticking with
the two that they have.
Purdy and Tray Lance.
And they let Garoppolo go to the Raiders.
And so maybe that's why they're not that worried about their starters.
It could be.
Yeah.
I heard the first thing Garoppolo did when he got to Vegas was say, where's the legal
whorehouse at?
Wow.
Is that true?
Raiders got what they asked for, didn't they?
Is that true?
He's got a reputation.
Because I read that somewhere.
Yeah.
Garoppolo's got a reputation.
Look, I don't give a shit.
The wandering wiener.
Yeah.
Yeah, he does.
He doesn't like to stick with one girl.
That's true.
Well, I got to say, you got to pay for it, really?
Well, you know what?
To him, it's probably a clean shoot, if you will.
It's like you paid for it.
So there's nobody coming back out of the woodwork saying you did something wrong.
I think there was a TV show that not a lot of people remember anymore called Two and
a Half Men.
Oh, yeah.
It was Charlie Sheen played a guy who was a drunk and a womanizer.
And he had...
He played it very well, by the way.
Isn't that odd?
He's basically playing himself.
But yeah, he had a huge source of disposable income because he wrote jingles for commercials
and ads and things.
So he said on the show that he preferred the business exchange of having sex with a prostitute
because both parties know what they're there for and when it's done, they leave in their
separate ways.
And he didn't want any kind of relationship whatsoever.
He didn't even want to put any time in.
Yeah, that's true.
Even for like a one night stand.
And he was really clear about that too.
He was like, you know, this is what I want.
So I'd just rather do it like this.
Dr. House on the show House was the same way.
He wasn't interested in having any kind of relationship or picking up a girl or bar or
anything.
It was to strictly hire a prostitute and that's done.
And then they're out of there.
Then you go about what he really likes to do.
Some guys like it that way.
And if Garoppolo likes it that way, he wants nothing personal, no kind of connection.
It's just like, you know, I don't want to jerk off.
I'd rather have sex with the stranger here and then they go away.
It's his thing, I guess.
And also you can pick out exactly what you want to, I guess.
Right?
Yeah.
But not quite, not quite, not quite.
Oh yeah.
Right there.
Yeah.
It's I can't separate that from human trafficking.
No, no, no, I mean either.
I just don't get the whole prostitution thing because it's human trafficking.
Yeah.
I mean, without going into a bunch of stuff, whatever.
Yeah.
Oh, you're name Garoppolo.
Yeah.
So anyhow, I have something that came over my desk here.
You're talking about our crack staff, right?
Yes.
Well, I guess they, Massengale sent them another list of douche flavors that did not make the
cut.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I want to hear these.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
So anyhow, one of the crack staff, I mean, you know, whenever they come into our room,
you know, when we're doing our huge broadcast here in the big broadcast facilities and our
major million dollar production that we go through.
Yeah.
We have to look away because their crack is showing.
Yes.
We had to fire the cocaine crack addicts, that crack staff, because they kept stealing
our microphones and laptops and selling them.
Yeah.
Got to go down to the pawn shop and buy them back.
It really sucked.
They weren't getting any work done.
Yeah.
They were snorting lines off each other's ass.
It was horrible.
Yeah.
At least with this crack staff, we get stuff done, but...
We just got to look away.
You don't want to borrow a pencil because they keep it all in their crack.
Yes, they do.
It's nice and warm though, I found out.
That's true.
I mean, you know, I had my head turned, so I grabbed a pencil from them.
Yeah.
And it was a little sweaty.
I've never seen a pencil that writes brown.
Oh wait, now it's black.
Oh, there we go.
Really?
Massingale sent one of them a list of the, you know, of douche flavors that failed.
Okay.
You know, we've been doing this off and on for a while.
Yeah.
And I'm surprised that they weren't snapped up.
Just like our invisible ass paddling session is coming back, not the next podcast, the
podcast after.
Okay.
Yeah, there's a list that's partially done that we're invisible for a day and instead
of saving the world, we opt to paddle people's asses as needed.
Yes.
So, hey, that's the way we roll.
So, okay, the number one, number one that didn't work, beef stew.
Wow.
Yeah.
Neither one of those words works really well in that situation.
Beef and stew.
No.
You know, chunky, dark broth, a little bit of pepper, maybe some carrots, some potatoes
cut up, peas maybe.
Yeah.
That's...
If you puree it, then that's even worse.
Yeah.
So, that's a good choice.
Yeah.
So, I kind of see how come the beef stew didn't work.
Yeah.
Beef stew is not...
No.
Yeah.
So, that one got nixed.
Next one is roasted tomato and basil.
Oh, you know, I kind of like that.
Roasted tomato and basil.
I do too, but I think the problem is maybe the red from the tomatoes.
Yeah.
That's true.
And then the little flakes in the basil could be confused to something else maybe.
True.
Yeah.
Yep.
Next one would be beef broth.
Again, I mean, you go back to the beef stew and, you know, I think what they did was like,
well, the beef stew didn't work, so whoever came up with that...
Tried the beef.
Yeah.
They tried to save their image.
Yeah.
Well, how about beef broth?
They probably already bought the beef flavoring, so they had to use it somehow.
Yeah.
They had to use it, so they tried it and they're like, yeah.
Yeah.
So, needless to say, over there in Massingale, there's like probably four locked dumpsters
full of beef broth.
Yeah.
I think that they sent out their beef broth flavored version for testing and the lab results
came back.
Your cow has a urinary tract infection.
And then the princess say, we don't want to know.
Keep it to yourself.
Thanks and goodbye.
What happens in the barnyard stays in the barnyard.
Yeah.
The next one, ham and cheese.
I love ham and cheese.
Who does not love a ham and cheese sandwich?
Everybody does.
Let's see.
It wouldn't be kosher.
No.
Muslims probably wouldn't buy that.
No.
But, oh, ham and cheese.
You know, ham and cheese is actually pretty good.
Yeah.
I like that.
Okay.
Cheese.
But it failed.
They did not go over well.
Then the next one, I see how come this one failed.
Cottage cheese.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That just goes.
You start picturing that and it's all kinds of wrong.
Yeah.
Oh, this is sharp and tangy and wait a minute.
Yeah.
It's got a lot of meat and a lot of meat and a little curds.
I wonder if it's large curd or small curd.
What's this milky stuff?
So somewhere in Massagel, there's 10 other dubs for a full of cottage cheese.
Lock.
Now, ricotta cheese might work.
And ricotta sounds better.
You have to mix it up a little, baby.
The next one, I get this one too, cream gravy with mashed potatoes.
Yeah.
That'd be kind of bland, wouldn't you think?
Yeah.
So it'd be along the lines of cottage cheese, I guess.
This next one, I'm really surprised it didn't make it.
Chef Boyardee inspired SpaghettiOs.
Oh, yeah.
That's every kid's favorite.
Yeah.
I mean, you'd have to be over 18 probably for the douche.
Well, true.
Yeah.
But still, man, that's such a classic American flavor.
I know.
Everybody loves SpaghettiOs.
Tastes a little bit like the can.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, I just don't get it.
I mean, yeah.
Next one, spicy brown mustard did not make it.
Oh.
And that would go good with the, didn't we have a corn dog flavored one?
We did.
Yeah.
That would have gone great with that.
That would have been perfect.
But if they could like take some of these old episodes and get, you know, and order
if they still have the list that they sent us, I could put them two together and try
it.
Yeah.
Put them together in like a sampler pack.
Yeah.
So you buy one, you get the other.
Yeah.
So next one is spicy salsa did not go over well.
You know, that was probably the chunks.
Yeah.
You know, it would have been a great idea, but I think the chunks threw everybody off.
Yeah.
It probably gets caught in the nozzle too.
Yeah.
You like, you get like too much of it.
You sneeze and the chunk come through your nose and stuff like that.
Yeah.
Probably not ideal.
The next one, potato soup.
I think I see that one.
Yeah.
I got to say the whole soup idea, you know, they may, maybe they should.
I think I need to get out of the soup industry altogether and maybe go to different ones.
Like, I don't know, like maybe green mint tea or something.
Yeah.
You see a green mint tea douche.
Yeah.
Smell great, tastes fine, freshen your breath, right?
Or maybe you can even make a mixed drink douche, like maybe a mojito.
Oh yeah.
There we go.
Yeah.
You get crazy with a dirty martini.
Gin fizz.
Yeah.
Or a fin jizz.
I don't know which one it is, but one of them.
Yeah.
Velveeta with Rotel.
We're getting savory foods.
Yeah, we are.
Yeah.
They were in a crazy mood on these ones.
The next one, I don't agree with at all.
Cream peas.
Oh yeah.
And their cousin whipped peas.
Oh.
Ugh, that's just nasty.
Everyone thinks it's guacamole and it's not.
No, no.
You serve it and they're like, oh, fuck.
People are like putting their tostitos in them.
They're like, what the fuck?
But actually, the whipped peas are good for stubbing your cigarette out in.
Yeah, yeah.
Or your cigar.
Yeah, your cigar.
But that's not all whipped peas are good for.
And then last but not least, chicken salad.
Put a little almond and celery bits in it.
Some people put grape halves in.
Yeah.
Eggless mayo.
Oh my God.
So yeah, so we were luckily enough, we intercepted the, what would you call them?
The marketing team.
Yeah.
From Massingale.
The test groups and the research panels and all that stuff.
And we've got a mole in there that sneaks the information out for us.
He sneaks information out and we thank you.
We can't say your name.
Yeah.
But you know, Massingale doesn't really seem to care because they've never gone after us.
No, no.
Or us.
Yeah.
They're like, okay, how many listeners they have?
Forget it.
Don't even bother.
We're like NPR and they're Elon Musk.
Yeah.
How many people left?
Oh, okay.
All right.
I'll be in my office.
If I can't make that up in the next 10 minutes, I'll quit.
Right after they tell them that all of NPR resigned from their Twitter account.
Hey, hey, pull my finger.
Elon, did you hear me?
No, pull my finger.
Yeah, I saw one of the best lines, hang on a second.
All right.
Now the truck is gone.
One of the best comeback lines I've ever seen.
It was used in the ending of a relationship, but you could use it like if you're leaving
a job.
Where the boss says, you know, on your way out the door, good luck.
No, it was said about a relationship.
This woman was a PR director who slept with her clients.
And the guy that she was working with wasn't comfortable with that anymore.
And so he decided to fire her and she's like, yeah, okay, whatever.
So she was leaving and he was upset that she wasn't more upset.
So on her way out, he yelled, good luck finding a client as good as me.
And she turned around and said, if it takes me more than a day, I'll quit.
I love that.
Yeah.
It's a good way to just kind of own them.
It's like, you know, when one person is walking out on the relationship and the other says,
you know, you'll never find someone who will love you like me.
And the other says, that's kind of the point.
All right.
Okay.
We shall be right back with a brand new Deer Douchebags.
Oh, I can't wait.
New Thimble Dicks and a crash cart will be right back.
Hello.
This is Satan.
You might know me from my pet name inflation.
I'm here to tell you that there's no better way to relax than listening to two douchebags
and microphone by a nice warm fire at night.
I sit there and I reflect on all the stuff that's going on in my head.
I'm like, I'm going to go to bed.
I'm going to go to bed.
And I reflect on all the souls I've burnt that day.
Enjoy!
Hey now, a brand new feature.
Strange comments from an alien.
May your mother come to talk to you.
And then leave your door slightly ajar.
So that you may have to get up and close it.
Never take our advice.
Bl infinite simple.
our advice would be nothing that dear Abby would get in here. No, maybe Dr.
Ruth. Yeah, part that, especially this one. No, okay. Yeah, well here we go. Off to
it. Dear Douchebags, my problem is rather embarrassing. I really don't know how to
quite express this, but well, here I go. My girlfriend really seems to enjoy me
doing, you know, yodeling in the canyon, whistle through the wheat field, flick
the love bean, you know, tongue tap the wicker basket, eating at the Y. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, you know, all that stuff. Going south 14th Street. Yeah, sharp left,
sharp left at the ferns. Don't get me wrong, I love doing this, but lately,
well, there seems to be some sort of odd, musty odor. Hmm. I can hardly stand this
new scent. It makes me a little pukey. Oh, yeah, I know. I felt around to see if
maybe she was doing something different in preparation. I couldn't find a thing,
so I really don't know how to bring this topic up to her. Please and thank you.
Signed, Flipping the Bean in Abilene. These guys are so good at these. I swear,
these names are awesome. I know. Oh, I can't wait till somebody from Tallahassee
writes in. Oh, I know. No, that was Gassy in Tallahassee already. Okay. Oh, shit. We have a
special guest. Who? Oh, oh, God. Oh, fuck. He wants to answer this. Oh, my God. I haven't seen him in a while.
Yeah, that's because you motherfuckers never let me on anymore. Well, we've been
trying to be nice to you, but you keep threatening our families. You tried to
have me thrown in jail, you son of a bitches. You kind of deserved it, but, you know.
Well, that's neither here nor there. Okay. Yeah, this is Mr. Creepy, and I'm gonna
answer this question. Get out of here, you fuck. Hey, man, this is my... Get out of here.
All right, fuck. Okay, here, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Creepy. I think we're just
gonna have to let him have his say. You're damn right you are.
Dear Flippy, that's a hard out on this one. One, my first suggestion is to get a
little crazy on the way down to Treasure Island and take a good bite out of
left ass cheek. Oh, there we go. Be sure to draw blood. By the time you
peroxide and bandage that shit up, the mood is long gone.
Hell, that's true. You could do the classic diversion. Oh, no. That motherfucker bit me so hard, I'm
bleeding. Number two, find a different chick that's the equivalent or hotter.
No. Then go to her with this issue. If she works with you without getting
offended or flying off the handle, you found the one. Most likely, though.
Most likely. You'll need the new chick shortly after the conversation.
Yeah. Number three, grab a handful of gravel right before said act and put it
in your mouth. Then spit it out right before said act and put it in your...
Let's see. Oh my god, I'm Mr. Creepy and I am so out of touch with this whole
thing that I can't even fucking read right. I hope you guys are happy.
So then spit it out on the bed and tell her it's larva.
After that, you're ruined.
You cannot do this anymore without repaying the worm larvae in your mouth.
You're off the hook forever with her.
Or finally, number four, just man up, hold your fucking nose and do what's necessary.
It's called not being a selfie slover and going above and beyond.
Good luck, dumb fucker. And that's all I'm giving you, motherfuckers.
Could you probably make money off of me? Yeah, well, we don't make money anyway, Mr. Creepy.
Get the fuck out of here, Creepy. Oh, look, he's taking an Uber.
It's not his Uber, but he's taking one.
All right. Are they on speaker yet?
Um, hang on, I gotta get them on speak. Oh shit, I don't know how to do it on this, uh,
on this function here. I think just hold it up close to the mic, uh, microphone.
Maybe this is no, hang on. Okay. Can you hear me? All right. Hang on.
Is there part up here? Okay. Go ahead and say it again.
What? He's not hearing you.
Hang on. It's not on speaker. Hey, how about if you guys give me a call
my regular number, I can put that on speaker phone.
Give me, give me a call back on my regular number. Okay. Okay.
This is awesome. I did not expect this.
So that other number, I guess is more like a phone app kind of thing.
Doesn't necessarily go to speaker.
Yeah, I guess not. It's okay. We can work around it.
Yeah, we can hang on. I'll call them.
Birds are bombing us. Remember I just said someone's going to call
and we're not going to know what to do.
It sounds like speaker now. Yep.
All right. Hey, here we go, man. Now we can hear you on the microphone.
All right. I got some would you rather questions.
Hey, those are going to Johnny. Okay.
All right. Hey, here we go. Man. Now we can hear you on the microphone.
All right. I got some would you rather questions.
Hey, those are going to Johnny. Okay.
All right. The first one is would you rather go with the shampoo the rest of
go without shampoo the rest of your life or toothpaste the rest of your life?
That's a good one.
Me too. Because you can always use like a bar of soap or some shit.
It'll get the job done. It may not be the best.
Yeah. Yeah. I agree.
Oh, hang on. I got to introduce this. We had someone finally call up.
And there's two really good friends of mine work with them a long time and known a long time.
John and Jim.
You can tell they're so excited to be talking with us.
Okay, here's one. Would you rather be the ugliest person in the world or smell the worst?
Oh, tough one.
Yeah. Yeah. You know what? I'll just go ahead and put on deodorant a lot of deodorant. You smell the
worst. I think I'll just be an ugly person and try to find someone who's blind.
Yep. Here's one. Would you rather have to always hop around on one foot or have to always squat?
I'd go. I'd hop right.
Hopping. Yeah.
I don't like to squat. I'll hop.
Yeah. I think I'll hop too.
Yeah. I'm too fat to squat. I'd never get back up.
Okay. Would you rather have no thumbs or no fingers?
I don't know. I think it's tough.
Damn. I guess no thumbs.
Okay. Yeah. Well, I don't know, man, but thumbs, you grab everything. I don't know.
Yeah. But no fingers, what would you grab it too? You wouldn't have fingers.
Yeah. You'd have to just push against the palm of your hand.
Yeah. Wow. That'd be tough.
I'm going to go with no thumbs, I guess, because you have more fingers.
At least you'd look kind of decent. I guess you'd get some sort of contraption to get it to work,
right? It might be easier to keep your thumb and get some sort of contraption and mimic your fingers,
like one of those Terminator hands. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? Yeah. That's what I do.
I keep my thumbs and get a contraption for the fingers.
Yeah. Like Terminator.
I'd push it.
Would you rather go a year without no eyelashes or a year without no eyebrows?
Eyebrows. Eyebrows.
Eyebrows, because, I mean, how are you going to sleep without eyelashes?
Yeah. Yeah. Eyelashes keep a lot of stuff better. Eyeballs.
And also you can get freaky and stupid with eyelashes. Like one day you could draw them
way up and next time you could draw them way down. You could draw like the solid, you know,
unibrow. You could look like Ernie. You could make little lightning bolts just to freak people out.
Or you make them go up like smiles instead of over and down.
Hold on. Let me clean up my surprise, look.
Here's one. Would you rather be smacked in the face with a fish or farted on?
I think it depends on who's doing the farting.
I think I'll take the fish. I'll take the fish also.
I've been farted on. I haven't been hit in the face with a fish yet.
Oh my God. His pit bull, Sam, will smoke you out of the room.
Yeah. Yeah. He'll peel the paint right off the walls. Damn.
Oh, let's see here. Let me find a good one here.
Would you rather be someone's pet goldfish or a wild lizard?
I think I bet it better be a wild lizard.
Yeah. A pet goldfish you can see like, oh shit, the grandkids over.
He's going to poke me with that fucking stick again.
The short life is free or a long life in a bowl.
Get that little Mongoloid away from me. Fuck. He's going to kill me this time.
Little kid sticks the toilet brush in there to try to catch the fish.
I'm catching me a fish. Oh, isn't he cute? Look at little Billy torturing that fish.
God damn it, Billy. Leave him alone.
Billy, I'm going to take that stick and poke you in the fucking eye, you little bastard.
Now get back to your parents. I'm going to throw you in the trunk until you get home.
That's why little Billy grew up to be a serial killer.
I didn't know him stabbing the fish meant anything.
I thought it was just good little kid humor. Yeah. We found all those dissected cats in
the backyard, but you know, that's boys being boys.
Yeah. He was just playing. He had a smile on his face.
Oh, here's one. Would you rather poop in the only toilet at a party knowing that you'll clog it or
poop in the bushes in your backyard? Why not, man? I'm going with backyard.
I'm going to clog the toilet up just to be a dick. I'd flush the motherfucker and make sure
that there's fucking water and toilet paper all over that the whole thing.
This sumbix is going out in the hallway.
And then I'd leave the party right after. I'd be like, hey, I got an emergency call. I gotta go.
Later. Yeah, then they're stuck with fucking turds everywhere.
There was one of those dating horror stories posted online. This girl went over to her
boyfriend's house and had to go to the bathroom and she clogged up his toilet.
She was so embarrassed she didn't want to say anything about it. So she scooped the poop out
and dumped it in the cat litter box that was sitting right there. And then like a few days
later, the guy called her and said, did you poop and put your poop in the cat's litter box? He's
like, no. And he's like, well, my cat's been dead for a month.
Well, maybe. Oh, that litter box. Oh,
would you rather go through your life with one nostril or one ear? Oh,
I'm going to say one ear because I just grow my hair longer and hide it.
I'm going to go with one nostril because I like stereo. I mean, I think it's,
would you still have your ear holes and be able to hear? Or is that just like, just, I don't know,
just, I don't know. I was like one nostril. I'm thinking he's like one big giant hole in the
middle of your face and one ear would be like right on the top of your head. And then you'd be
like, oh, I'm going to go with one ear. And then you'd be like, oh, I'm going to go with one ear.
And then you'd be like right on the top of your head. Oh, oh, okay. Well then, yeah, then I'd go with you.
I didn't hear what he said.
I said, would you rather have, would you rather have one nostril or one ear?
What was the question?
One ear maybe? Well, that's what I was thinking because you could hide it, but I don't know if
you'd be able to hear out of that side of your ear. Well, you still have your holes. Yeah, that's what I would think too.
Yeah, that's true. You look like a loser. I'll just keep one ear. I'll just have my hair. I'll get a goofy
haircut that hides it. Or you could just tell people that you ran into Mike Tyson. Yeah, yeah, that's it.
You ran into Mike Tyson. He beat your ear off. He just bit your ear off.
Let's see, let's find a good one here.
Okay, would you rather eat a moldy dead rat or drink a whole bottle of poison?
Aren't they the same thing? Yeah, I think either one will get you sicker in hell.
Yeah, I don't know. I think I'd eat the rat.
Would you rather have 100 roaches in your pants or in your hair?
I'm gonna go with hair because those suckers can bite. Yeah, those little bastards do.
Yeah, I had to go with hair too. I mean, I want to know if it's those hissing cockroaches.
They have cockroaches that hiss. Right.
Y'all, this talk about moldy dead rats and cockroaches, you know, it reminds me of being at a really bad Chinese buffet.
Oh yeah, with mystery meat in it. You don't know where it came from.
Rat on a stick. We're having a special tonight.
What would leave that little type of a skeleton? Let's get out of here.
Right, we're done. We're done. Check please.
Let's see.
Would you... Let's see, anyhow, hey, what are you guys up to?
You guys on lunch break? Are you working today or what's going on?
Yeah, we're on lunch right now. Oh, okay, cool. Man, I just posted at the right time, didn't I?
Yeah. Sweet. So what are you guys doing? Are you guys building tornado shelters or accessibility equipment?
Yes. Yep. Oh, both. Okay.
Cool. Do you guys install them too? No. No? So you shove them out the door and then
whoever they get to put them in, puts them in. Put them on the truck. Put them on the truck. There we go.
Let's see, here's one. Would you rather sniff 10 dirty diapers or lick one dirty diaper?
Oh, what? Would you rather sniff 10 dirty diapers or lick one dirty diaper?
Oh, sniff. Maybe I'd sniff on it. Sniff. Yeah. Yeah.
Would you rather have baby vomit on you or vomit on a baby?
I would vomit on the baby and blame it on him.
I'd say, hey, your kid just vomited. I just thought you'd want to know.
I saw that on a TV show. A guy was really drunk and he turned and just vomited right
into this stroller that was going by. That was nasty.
What happened to the kid? He opened up his mouth and the kid just kind of like spits in his mouth.
That's the same thing. I'd have been drooling off.
Yeah. Oh, here's one. This one's tough. Would you rather have to have a life without air
conditioning or never be able to use deodorant? I'll go without deodorant.
I'm just going to stink people out of the fucking room, I guess.
Yeah. Take a lot of showers.
Yeah, that's it. No deodorant for me. Yeah, same here.
Yeah, I got to be cool in my off time. Fuck that.
Would you rather get your wisdom teeth pulled or your butt cheeks pierced?
Knock you out for your wisdom teeth. Yeah, that's true. Wisdom teeth. Yep.
I don't want to be knocked out for either. Both of them sound like,
yeah, you probably want to be knocked out for. Yeah.
Which one would hurt worse when you woke up? They wouldn't knock me out for my wisdom teeth.
They told me it wasn't going to be that big a deal because of where they were. Bullshit, they lied.
Knock my ass out, please. Oh, yeah. If I could do it again, I'd be like,
no, you go ahead and put me under and do whatever. Fucking take those bastards out and then wake me up.
Okay. Would you rather always have bad gas or always have really dry mouth?
Well, I'm always farting, so you know what? I guess I'll go with that. Yeah, we'll go with the fart.
Yeah. What do you guys do? You go for a fart or dry mouth? I'd go with a fart. Yeah. Yeah,
that's pretty universal. Yeah, you know, the thing about a fart is it offends everybody else,
but not you. Yeah. You and I'd really like to see in some TV show is the good guy and the bad guy
are having this big fist fight and this big brawl. They're rolling around and punching each other and
throwing each other into walls and right in the middle of it, they're in this clench and one of
them farts real loud. Sorry. And then they start and they stop and they look at each other and they
laugh a little bit and then they go back and try to kill each other. I think that would be hilarious
as hell if somebody would put that in a movie. Okay. Would you rather have a huge burger hanging
out of your nose for the rest of your life or a pimple on your forehead for the rest of your life?
Oh my God. Wow. I'm going to go with a pimple. I guess so. Yeah. You could hide it with a hat.
Yeah. I mean, if you had something really important where you didn't want people to like stare at it
or something like, yeah, it had to do a speech or, you know, or like a eulogy or something,
you could cover it up with makeup. Yeah. Working into the tattoo or.
He had tattoo it.
Yeah. Yeah. You can make the third eye out of it. Oh yeah. That's it. Sold.
Yeah. Yeah. That's it right there. Let's see. Oh shit. I got a whole bunch more of these. How
about that? Oh shit. We're about done with lunch dude. Oh shit. Okay. Well, hey, tell Carl he was
on the, on, on a podcast on lunch break, man. Good talking to you guys. We all gotta get together,
have a beer or something. All right, man. Let me know when we'll see you. All right, man. Take care.
All right. Bye.
We love the audience participation part. Yeah, that was great. Just as soon during when,
when the mics were off, I said, I'm going to post our number. Yeah. And I said,
imagine if someone finally calls in and somebody that someone did. Yeah. We're both looking at,
like I said, we both stared at it. What do we do? A phone's ringing. Oh shit.
I should start just bringing a Bluetooth speaker along. I know. I didn't even think about it.
You know, I should just put one in the bag. Yeah. Damn it. Oh well. You know what? It's good enough
for now. They could hear it good enough. So anyhow, that was pretty fucking cool. There's
a couple of guys, good friends of mine I used to work with. And that would be Jim and John.
They're down in H town, Harrisonville building, storm shelters, F5 shelters, safe rooms and
personal accessibility equipment. Because the end of times is coming and they know
and they're building. So we should all build. Yes. Yes. Yep. I need a safe room just to go in
to get away from everybody. I know. Yeah. Go lock that bitch up and you know, fucking, I don't know,
go play some games on your phone or some shit. No one can bother you. I've heard the latest
certification rating for safe rooms is that the guarantee that two douchebags and a microphone
can't get in. Well, yeah, that's, that's the, that's the thing. Yeah. And actually here at
the city market, they're offering a place way away from us where you can go to stay away from our
show. Yeah. And they have like antidotes there. Yeah. They have like smelling salts and counselors.
Yeah. Yeah. Anti-nausea pills. Yeah. I, I, people, you know, they talk them out of suicide after they
hear us. Yeah. It's pretty insane. I mean, they have a whole, I'm surprised they haven't kicked
this out yet or sent us the bill. Yeah. I mean, right now there's 10 people over there shaking
their head and wiping the vomit off of them. And they're like, you know, they're pointing at us
angrily. Yeah. Yeah. So hi. Oh no. Well, some of them, I mean, they make their money back,
but some of them they, they just sell weapons to. Yeah. Yeah. And those are the ones we'll probably
see again. Yeah. We'll see them again. Yeah. Yeah. So, yep. At the reunion. So I had a bunch of
would you rather questions, but we went and pulled them out on them. Yeah. I learned something
interesting about credit cards. Oh yeah. You're familiar with the, with the suspicious activity
that credit card companies and banks will, will monitor your cards. And if there's suspicious
activity, they'll call or maybe they'll, you know, temporarily deactivate your card until you call
kind of thing. Banks have taken it up a notch now. When they see suspicious activity, that's the term
they're using, which could be anything. Some banks are canceling your credit card, terminating your
account, ending their business association with you, but you still own the money, of course. But
they will send you a letter in the mail saying, we no longer want you as a customer. What is, what
is their end game? Why, why do you think they're doing this? Because I have some thoughts, but I
don't. I think these, these banks are trying to limit their, their legal exposure in cases where
money is being illegally transferred. Okay. That was one of the things I think of, but I also think
illegal money. Yeah. They see hard times coming up. Yeah, they do. And they want to limit their
liability of write-offs. Yeah. They're not so sure that the, the government is going to be able to
cover their ass like they did in 08 again, because we've already wrote so many blank checks. Yeah.
That we can't recover from what we wrote anyhow. Yeah. They're talking about devaluing our money.
I mean, you have like Russia and China coming after, so I think banks are padding it. They're
like, you know what? This guy is a liability. Look at his job. Look at his payment record. Look at
this. We're going to go ahead and we're canceling his account. And then he's going to have to pay
on time and just go find another credit card, because we don't believe in the system. Yeah.
Yeah. It's, it's a complete turnaround from the way the system has been built to work, which is
that's worrisome. They, they get you to borrow money and then they, they keep you as a customer,
no matter what, and keep you paying for the rest of your life. But that, yeah, that is a startling
change where they're saying, you know what? We don't even want to do business with you.
Yeah. And that is also another thing is this right here. That's what our economy is based on is just
like money out of thin air. And yeah, yeah. They're like, we're going to build this new
shopping mall. Well, how are you going to build it? Well, we're just getting a loan. Where'd that
loan come from? That loan came from nothing. A stroke of a pen. Yeah. Yeah. So that is very
worrisome. Yeah. The example that the story was written about was a man who is ethnically
Pakistani, is an American citizen and successful, has great credit. But he was using his credit
card to send cash advances of money to family back in Pakistan. And the credit card company said,
no, there's like a one in a billion chance you might be linked somewhere to some terrorist
organization. I think maybe somewhere. So we just don't want to have any kind of connection with
you by, or they would never say that out loud, but they're saying is, well, this seems to be
suspicious activity and falls under our guidelines of, you know, monetary actions that are
reactions that we do not want to be associated with, blah, blah. So they dress it up in legal
language, but basically they're telling the guy, we think you might be in some sketchy shit and
we don't want to be left holding the bag. That's the other part of it too. I see a lot of this.
I think both options are probably part of what went into this. Yeah. I mean, they may not be
quite as afraid of what's going on as I'm putting out there, but I think it is in the back of their
minds. And the, the also scary part is up until now, they've been okay with taking the chances
like this because they've had something to back them up. Yes. Now that apparently has gone away
or isn't enough anymore. So they're making the change. We should all pay attention to this
that the banks and the credit card lenders are starting to say, you know what? You can't pay it
back. We don't think you're ever going to be able to pay it back. And whatever you're using the money
for, we don't want to know. So goodbye. And I'll bet you that there is an unofficial dead list
of customers who've been canceled like that. And none of the other credit cards will touch them
unless it's one of the ones that charges you like 30% interest. Then they, they probably own an
interest or have some sort of affiliation with these cards that you do that with too. Yeah.
So also just like places. So in other words, it's no more just free money out of the air. Yeah.
You're going to have to earn this money back by doing things on our term. Yeah. It's actually
quite brilliant if you think about it. And then what does the consumer do? Well, I got to get my
credit cards back. That's the only way I can survive. So they got to go through the steps
of giving all this money up to get the right to get the free money again, that you have to pay
back anyhow. And think about 30 to 50 years ago, if you're applying for credit, they checked you out.
They talked to friends and neighbors. They ran all sorts of checks on you. If they do that now
and say no, then they're open to all sorts of discrimination charges. But the way they're
doing it now, they couch it in very vague new language of, Oh, suspicious and, and you know,
unacceptable activity. So it's a way to do the same thing, which is we don't want to give you credit
anymore. But it's a way they can do it without incurring any kind of civil lawsuits for like
discrimination or profiling or anything. Cause they've written a nice vague language to cover
everything. Yep. But that is scary if the banks are saying, time to stop lending so much money.
Then yeah, something, something, something bad's coming. Yeah, I agree. And when they're not afraid
of free money coming their way, you know what I mean? Because the government is notorious
right and blank checks to banks. Yeah. So if they're afraid that the free money not be flowing their
way and they can't guarantee mortgages to where they get money coming from here and there,
yeah, then there's something going on. And that's how our economy works is money changing hands
constantly, large amounts of money constantly changing. Exactly. That's how this economy works.
And if that stops, it's things are going to crash before people figure out how to do
the next thing, you know, whatever the next thing is going to take a, yeah, there's going to be a
learning curve. Another problem is, is cash going to be king or not? Because the people had had the
cash on hand in OA got stuff ridiculously low. Yeah. And if your shit's tied up, tied up in
NFTs, cryptocurrency, you're not, you're not getting deck or, you know, like investing in a house
or attractive houses. Oh, there was a show the other day where the, this contractor was
in trouble because he was getting investors to invest in this housing development he was making.
And what he did is he got, he needed like, you know, 30 investors to spend, you know,
two million each. What he would do is he would get that group of 30 investors and then he'd go
again, another group of 30 investors to invest in the same thing. So he's double financed and each
group thinks they're the only one. Then he would buy land super cheap because the land was nowhere
near utilities and couldn't get utilities. And then he'd start to build the houses, drawing in
more investors. And then at a certain point, he would just abandon the project. Oh, wow. And
run off again. Yeah. Like a pyramid scheme. Yeah. Just be like, okay, fine. And then, and then
everyone's standing there going, what happened? Yeah. Yeah. So everyone's out millions and millions
of dollars and what do you have to show for it? Half completed houses that can never get utilities.
They're utterly worthless. And you know, the money didn't disappear because that guy has it. Yeah.
It's just the value didn't show up. Yeah, that's right. And what's left behind has no value. Yeah.
And then they're just like, oh, it just didn't work. Yeah. What do you mean it just didn't work?
Well, it just didn't work. But the money never disappears. No, no, no, no. Someone has it.
The news will tell you, oh, all this money just vanished. No, it didn't. Somebody else has it now.
Yeah. You always get that, well, it just dried up or whatever. No, no, no. It's not like a creek bed.
Yeah. Yeah. Maybe the expected wealth didn't show up, but it never existed to begin with.
The wealth didn't grow like I said it was gonna. What happened? Hey, look, I think we found land.
Oh my God. I think we're safe. Oh no, it's the island of horrible jokes.
Why? Can't it move? It happens as long. Because then it would be a foot.
