Absolutely crazy. 32 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000 I'm hoping he gets there. I hope. 33 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Apparently he's not been doing much in school lately, which, you know, I remember doing that too. 34 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000 I remember doing that too. 35 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000 In fifth grade I was like, screw this, I'm out of this joint. 36 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000 What are they going to do? Hold me back? 37 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000 Oh, you might? Oh, shit. All right. 38 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000 Okay, I'm going to be good. 39 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000 The last five, five, four, five, four, five weeks, four weeks. 40 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000 I'm going to do everything. 41 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000 And I got out of there. 42 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000 But it was not a close call. 43 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000 But, you know, I definitely buzzed the tower of failure, I think is what I would say. 44 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000 So going in right off the bat, I want to talk about this. 45 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000 So entertainment. We're going to lead off with that for the episode. 46 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000 Why? Because I'm in charge of it. That's why. 47 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000 No, I do. I like talking about my entertainment news. 48 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000 Especially a story that I've been talking about recently. 49 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000 There's an update on that. 50 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:46,000 So as you people know, I've talked about Pauly Shore's desire or want to make a movie about Richard Simmons. 51 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000 And how much he wants to make a biopic of him and tell his story, which I think is awesome. 52 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000 I think it would be great to see. 53 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000 I think I would love to see it. 54 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000 I really do. Why? Because I think Richard Simmons was just an amazing. 55 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000 He's a character. 56 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:09,000 And you know, he's been through some stuff to do what he what he did and to tell the story. 57 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,000 I think it would be awesome because he has been through a ton of adversity in his life. 58 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000 And I remember him from when I was a kid. 59 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000 He was a big thing when I was a kid. 60 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000 And so I guess maybe that's part of it is nostalgia. 61 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000 Plus, Pauly Shore. I mean, I don't know what what else to do. 62 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000 What to say about that. 63 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000 Got to love some Pauly Shore. I don't care. 64 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,000 What you say? Oh, he's stupid. 65 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000 Fuck you. That's what I say. 66 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000 OK, I think Pauly Shore is awesome. 67 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000 So you know what? You put those two things together. 68 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000 And I think it will be a fantastic movie. 69 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000 If you go on YouTube and look at the it's called The Court Jester. 70 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000 I talked about that. 71 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,000 It went to the Sundance Film Festival in Utah to some rave reviews. 72 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000 It's only like 15 minutes long. Go on YouTube and watch it. 73 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000 Maybe I might put the link in the in the show notes. 74 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000 But I'm serious. Like it's really good. 75 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,000 And you know, this is the thing. 76 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000 This is why I wanted to see this, because every you know, every great comedian, 77 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,000 I always say are the closest thing to, you know, like a Jedi or like a force user. 78 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000 You know, they they can use both sides of emotion. 79 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000 They know both sides of it. 80 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000 It's one reason why they know the funny is because they know the bad. 81 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000 They know the they know the dark side, right, as well. 82 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000 I know. And somebody I said that one time, someone said, 83 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000 you mean like good magic and bad magic? 84 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000 And I'm like, yeah, if you want to make it sound like completely uncool. 85 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,000 No, I mean, the force. OK, thank you. Anyways. 86 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,000 No, but you know, whatever the good and evil, like the dark and the yeah. 87 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000 And that's why I feel. 88 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,000 And so, you know, some of the best comedians, Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, Steve Martin. 89 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,000 But, you know, all these people, all these comedians that have done all these serious roles over the years, 90 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000 they had they do it because they have it in them. 91 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,000 And I just the hey, Mr. Funny Guy, they have done some real serious roles. 92 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000 And I want to see Polly Short get the opportunity to do that. 93 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000 He wants to do what he wants to put his heart and passion into it. 94 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,000 I think a Richard Simmons biopic with him starring him. 95 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,000 Come on, Richard Simmons, though, wants nothing to do with it. 96 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000 And I, you know, I just I want to see this movie. 97 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000 I would pay money to go see this in the theater. 98 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:31,000 I mean, probably not, because I don't I don't I don't go to the theater anymore. 99 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000 But, I mean, I just I don't know. 100 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:39,000 I can't sit there that long anymore without my I can move my legs, you know, my knee. 101 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000 Oh, wow. My knees. 102 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000 And don't make movies so fucking long or start putting an intermission in. 103 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,000 Somebody was talking about that not long ago. 104 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,000 That some of the movies that are coming out, if they go over, I think, a certain a certain length, 105 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000 they will have an intermission is only going to be like five minutes. 106 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Maybe it's 10, I think it's 10 minutes, you know, not long enough that you could actually run out, smoke, come back in. 107 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,000 You know, none of that stuff. But, you know, you go to the bathroom, come back. 108 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000 I think that's basically what it's for. 109 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000 But what are you going to what are you going to do with it? 110 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000 The movie sold out. You're going to really you think that in 10 minutes, everybody in that theater, 111 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000 let's say half the people want to go to the bathroom. 112 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:24,000 You think half those people are going to run to the bathroom and it's not going to be a major flood of what if you have two movies doing that? 113 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,000 Right. That's going to be a freaking nightmare. 114 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000 How are you going to make that happen? 115 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000 I'm just saying that's a lot of stuff flushing all at once. 116 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,000 But Richard Simmons continues to say, no, I don't want to be a part of this. 117 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000 I don't want this to be. I don't want it to happen. 118 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000 It's sort of making me sad. 119 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000 And apparently he's making a Polish or very sad as well. 120 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,000 So he has said that he was up all night crying. 121 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,000 Which OK, sure. 122 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Posted on Instagram, Pauly Shore wrote, he said, Richard, how do you not approve of this movie? 123 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000 This is in his IG post. 124 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000 See, I know the lingo. 125 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000 He said, I mean, really, who's better to play you in a movie than me? 126 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000 Leonardo DiCaprio is not going to play you. 127 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000 Brad Pitt's not going to play you. 128 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,000 I'm perfect. 129 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000 Everyone already thinks I'm you. 130 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,000 We're the same. 131 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:21,000 Now, some of you are trying to say, well, does Simmons just not like Polly Shore or and think he's just going to be going out the weasel? 132 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000 Right. No. 133 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000 Look at the court jester movie. 134 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000 It's that he did a little short film that that movie was. 135 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000 He's not doing that in that movie. 136 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000 Yeah, but I did that line. 137 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,000 He says, I'm perfect. 138 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000 Everyone already thinks I'm you. 139 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,000 We're the same. 140 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000 I've never confused Polly Shore for Richard Simmons. 141 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Like if I saw him on a plane, I'd be like, holy shit, Polly Shore wouldn't be like, oh, my God, that guy is going to want me to work out. 142 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,000 I really feel like part of it is that Simmons does not take Shore seriously. 143 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:56,000 And some people have said that Shore is literally throwing a fit over this because he is just a, you know, basically being a Hollywood spoil brat. 144 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:07,000 He also makes a very good point, in my opinion, because so Simmons has apparently gone to another studio about maybe perhaps making his own biopic or talking to somebody, the one that would be approved. 145 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,000 You can contend that, hey, to anyone, hey, would you want somebody to tell him the story of your life and maybe screwing it up?

430 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,000 What's going on? 431 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000 That's what I'm going to do. 432 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,000 I'm going to start having people on the show that just write to me. 433 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,000 Yeah, you want to write to me. 434 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,000 Even if it was a segment, maybe we'll hook that up. 435 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000 I got I got zooms and streams yards and everything. 436 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,000 Stream yard. 437 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000 That's me. I thought that was when you just peed outside. 438 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,000 Anyways, Matt writes, Your recent episode about losing your friend out. 439 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000 Goodwin really hit home for me. 440 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:18,000 I've also experienced a loss of friends and mentors and hearing your story brought back a lot of memories and emotions. 441 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:25,000 Yeah, yeah, I'm sure I got that from several people who were like, Yeah, man, you know, sorry about your friends. 442 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000 Some people who knew him who knew he was but they didn't really know. 443 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,000 I think that's why a lot of people when there is loss and grief, they can relate. 444 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,000 You know, they just stand by you and put their arm around you because they know what it's like. 445 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,000 They've been there. 446 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,000 And he says, It was comforting to know that I'm not alone in these experiences. 447 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,000 Right. That's what I was saying. 448 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,000 And I truly appreciate your openness and honesty. 449 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,000 Not a problem. 450 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,000 That's what I'm here for. 451 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,000 Right. 452 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000 Isn't that why you tune in every Tuesday at five o'clock? 453 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,000 I don't know what the. 454 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,000 Imagine if I had a daily show. 455 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,000 That would be that'd be a wreck. 456 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000 I mean, I probably have other people working on this than me. 457 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:15,000 Anyway, so then Matt says on a on a lighter note, I wanted to ask you what you think of the Florida Panthers chances in the Cup playoffs this year. 458 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,000 I'm a big Panthers fan and hockey fan. 459 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,000 Is that you mean it right? 460 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000 I'm a big Panthers fan and hockey fan. 461 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,000 Okay. 462 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,000 And notice you don't talk about hockey much anymore on the show. 463 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,000 It would be great to hear more of your thoughts on it, especially right now with the playoffs going on. 464 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,000 Okay. 465 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,000 Let's talk about it, Matt. 466 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,000 You want to do that? 467 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,000 Let's do it. 468 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,000 All right. 469 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,000 First off, everybody stopped giving my capitals grief because they went out in four games. 470 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000 That team should not even made the playoffs. 471 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000 They were sellers at the trade deadline. 472 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:55,000 Them or any of the other teams, the Red Wings, the Flyers, the Penguins, even the Islanders that ended up finishing in the third division spot, not the wild card spot, but the actual third division spot. 473 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000 They all would have lost in four or five games. 474 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,000 So, you know, I didn't like some of the officiating in that. 475 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,000 I think some of the officiating in general has been terrible in these playoffs. 476 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000 I'm not just talking about some of the stuff with the caps and the Rangers. 477 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,000 I didn't like Paneran's hit on Oshie, the no penalty, Rampy's hit. 478 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,000 Anyways, Rangers are, but they're their stacked team. 479 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,000 So I wasn't surprised they blew through the caps. 480 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000 I'd like to see caps get at least one. 481 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:25,000 But I think the caps have a very strong future considering the quality of players they have in Hershey. 482 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000 Last year's quarter cup champions and everything else. 483 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,000 So, yeah, I'm not that worried about that. 484 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,000 As far as Florida, if you want to go there, I mean, I like the Florida chances. 485 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,000 I really do. 486 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:42,000 I think if they end up playing the Rangers, which looks like they might because the Rangers are tearing through the Hurricanes. 487 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,000 It would be kind of funny if the Hurricanes came back one fourth straight. 488 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000 I don't see it happening. But I think Florida will put away Boston. 489 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:54,000 I think a Florida Rangers conference final will be pretty good in the West. 490 00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:01,000 It's been very interesting to watch the Stars in the Avalanche series because like I know the Stars have home ice advantage in that series. 491 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:07,000 But, you know, in numbers wise and on paper, the Avalanche team is pretty stacked. 492 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,000 However, they they're not quite playing up to par. 493 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,000 I don't feel like I don't I feel like something's not quite there. 494 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:18,000 And then they lost Nacushkin to apparently a drug something. 495 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,000 So that guy, I mean, he got to spend for like six months now. 496 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:27,000 So what a good timing, dude. You couldn't wait till the playoffs were over and get loaded. 497 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000 Yeah, I don't know. It's all about priorities, I guess. 498 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000 And I do understand addiction. 499 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:37,000 But at the same time, when your addiction is interfering with your life, you know, you got to do it. 500 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,000 And this is not the first time, you know, I understand. 501 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,000 I'm an alcoholic. I have problems with alcohol. 502 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,000 But, you know, come on, man, Canucks and the Oilers. 503 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:51,000 I wish I don't know. I want the Cup to go to a Canadian team. 504 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000 I feel like the Stanley Cup needs to go home. 505 00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:00,000 It needs to go back to Canada for a little bit, even if it is a Western Conference Canadian team. 506 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:07,000 I don't I don't think I don't feel like I feel like a lot of my Canadian friends are going. 507 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,000 No, no, no, it's got to be, you know, 508 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,000 it's got to be the Leafs are going. Well, you know what? I don't know. 509 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:19,000 Or the Oilers. Everybody's OK. Go Oilers because they're steeped in heritage and history. 510 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,000 I get it. But come on, I love I love it when a team or a city. 511 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,000 When's their first ever championship? That's one of the best things ever. 512 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:34,000 I mean, and the Canucks have a good team. I'm just saying, I've been I've been talking about them for several months now. 513 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:39,000 They lost Demko and it was a Seavos has come in and played his butt off. 514 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,000 So I think I think that's I think that's pretty he's he's pretty nice. 515 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000 Been a great surprise. That's one great things about the Stanley Cup playoffs. 516 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000 That is what happens. It's weird. 517 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:55,000 I feel like the teams so far in the playoffs that are sort of supposed to be winning are I mean, they're OK. 518 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000 You finish at this spot, you finish at this spot, and they're kind of building towards that. 519 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,000 So I mean, you do have Boston and Florida who are one two in the division. 520 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,000 So that's you know, but so do you have that with the Rangers and the Hurricanes? 521 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000 But Hurricanes is having got any luck. 522 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,000 That's been a lot of it. And and the Rangers have and they're good team. 523 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:22,000 But a part of me is rooting for Cousy because I'm always going to love that guy for scoring the OT winner against the Penguins, 524 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:28,000 which opened the gate, in my opinion, to the caps winning the Cup in 2018. 525 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,000 So always going to have a special spot for him. 526 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,000 The fact that he went for a third round pick is absolutely freaking ridiculous. 527 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:44,000 So my prediction for the conference final, I'm going to go with I'm going to the Rangers and Florida are going to play each other, 528 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:49,000 which would be cool because everybody you know, you got the people in New York who still live there. 529 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,000 They'll be rooting against the Panthers who their parents who were retired in Florida are rooting for. 530 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,000 So that'll work out cool. 531 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:05,000 I'm sure there'll be some wonderful table conversations or Zoom or FaceTime meetings with that because that's a lot of what happens. 532 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:10,000 People retire to Florida like, well, I can't. So I do, you know, I can't root for them. 533 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:17,000 They're down here. But that's also the other thing is you go to Tampa, you go to Florida, you get a lot of Rangers fans because a lot of people from New York. 534 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,000 And then the snowbirds. 535 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,000 I'm a fucking snowbird over here. All right. So I guess that's like enough hockey for you, Matt. 536 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:31,000 Is that enough? This is not entertaining you. 537 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:37,000 Yeah, I think that I think it's pretty good. I don't think I left anything out. I think that covers it pretty succinctly. 538 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,000 All right. Let's get back to the email because you also brought up another point. 539 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,000 And this is going to be a little a little more of a I don't know, intricate or whatever. 540 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,000 But he said, Matt says, I also noticed that you haven't discussed politics much lately. 541 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:56,000 I always valued your perspective, even though I'm from a very Trumpy. 542 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:01,000 It's about a lowercase T capital R. I've seen that so many times. OK. 543 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:09,000 Even though I'm from a very Trumpy area of Florida, your balanced and thoughtful commentary. 544 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,000 Thanks, man. Geez. 545 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,000 Was a refreshing change from the usual polarized discussions. 546 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,000 Thank you, Matt. I sincerely appreciate that. I try to be fair. 547 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,000 People talk about this guy did this and this guy did that. 548 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:30,000 Well, then get them both out. You know, I know we don't have that choice. 549 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000 Whatever. Yeah. Well, thank you, Matt. 550 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:40,000 I don't I haven't been talking about politics much lately because I don't want to touch it anymore in my standup. 551 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,000 And I'm starting to feel that way about the podcast. 552 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:51,000 I want to do things that everybody can relate to or sort of enjoy, regardless of what this stupid political bullshit is that's going on. 553 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,000 I'm not saying I'm always going to do that, but I have kind of stepped back a little bit. 554 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,000 It is partly because of my standup, the way I'm doing it now. 555 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,000 I don't I don't know. 556 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:07,000 I partly also because, you know, you hear so much of it all the time. 557 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:17,000 That's one of the things you hear about it so much. You hear about how MTG plate face green Margie and stuff that she's doing and shit like that. 558 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:23,000 And yeah, and the fucking trial and I don't know what Trump and everything else is going on. 559 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:28,000 And I really I'm like, you know what? Let's just take a break from this. 560 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,000 Let's talk about other dumb shit that's going on around. 561 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,000 That's dumb shit. This is dumb shit. Don't get me wrong. 562 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:41,000 I think politics is very important. I'm just I'm just tired of this fucking circus that goes on. 563 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:47,000 And so I guess maybe I feel like if I don't feel like talking about it, then maybe you don't feel like hearing about it. 564 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,000 But, you know, and it doesn't mean I won't come back to it. 565 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:56,000 It is very much it is very much sort of a cluster cluster right there. 566 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,000 And you know what I'm saying? I know I've said F bombs so many times, but I don't know. 567 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,000 For some reason, I felt like let's make it one less. 568 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000 Let's make it one less for the episode, John. 569 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:10,000 I mean, you see the papers, you see the news, you see what's going on. 570 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,000 So I say let's take a break from it as I'm trying to do now. 571 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:20,000 I know. What did he say? I liked you told us now. Yeah. 572 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000 OK. And that's why I wasn't doing it. 573 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,000 But I do want to address Matt's question because I think it's a fair question. 574 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:30,000 I have literally had tirades on here about some of the stuff that has occurred. 575 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:36,000 And and I don't know. I feel like it was it just wasn't it just wasn't. 576 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,000 And it might it might don't be surprised if you hear something. 577 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:46,000 Knock on wood. I won't have to do anything because everything will be hunky dory. 578 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,000 I hope I hope when I pray because that's what we need as Americans. 579 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,000 We just we both come together. I know it sounds stupid, but it's not. 580 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000 It's actually a very good thing. 581 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000 And that does not mean hating everybody. 582 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,000 It doesn't mean hating immigrants. It doesn't mean hating someone that's different from you 583 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,000 or doesn't do this thing the same way that you do, whatever it may be. 584 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:10,000 You know, if you can all come together and listen to John Dee, then then we're fine. 585 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,000 And it's my job to not make you divided, I guess. 586 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000 That's what I'm saying. I don't know. 587 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,000 I think the people who like me who like me and they they get it and they think a lot. 588 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:25,000 That's one thing about podcasting. A lot of it's personality driven. 589 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,000 If a listener likes your personality, they probably think along the same lines as you. 590 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000 Right. At least to a certain point. 591 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,000 And I feel like that is that is important. 592 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,000 And so I feel like that's what I'm doing. So if you're listening now, you probably agree with me. 593 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000 But at the same time, let's take a break. You may not like it either way. 594 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:48,000 But, you know, let's move forward. I don't I don't want to be polarized. 595 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,000 So let's finish this up. He says, keep up the great work, John Dee. 596 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:57,000 I really enjoy the podcast and would love to hear more episodes more often. 597 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,000 This is good. 598 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:07,000 He says your podcast is a highlight of my dot dot dot whenever it gets out. 599 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,000 You, sir, are funny. You're a funny man, Matt W. Thank you for writing in. 600 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000 That's awesome. You should have done the title to the thing. 601 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,000 I would have tried to say, I don't know. Maybe I will send you something. 602 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,000 I'll send you an email. I should get man. I should get the merch. 603 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000 You have to get some merch. Anybody got merch? 604 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000 You want anybody want to buy me merch for me to sell? 605 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:30,000 Yes. You pay for it. And then I I sell it and you go, OK, Jon, good job. 606 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,000 Do you know how that works? It's fun. 607 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,000 All right.

No, it's definitely two, two and a half YouTube channels 610 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,000 and try to put them into one. And it's pretty bleak. 611 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,000 But you can go on there and increase the count of subscribers. 612 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,000 But yeah, Jon D Podcom on YouTube.
