World news is heavy, and sometimes the only honest way to talk about it is from a front porch with a friend and zero pretending. We kick things off with what’s happening around Iran, the fear of escalation, the anger over violence against protesters, and the question nobody can dodge: how do you respond without signing up for another forever conflict. That spirals into a blunt border security debate, assimilation, and why “moderate” feels like a dying word in American politics.

Then we turn the volume down and talk music like people who actually listen. We get into Blackhawk’s harmonies and why mellow, love-leaning tracks hit best in a playlist, not on repeat all day. We also check in on The Warning and their newer sound on “Kerosene,” from the bass groove to the poppier edges that can take time to grow on you.

From there it’s rapid-fire modern life: doom spending, AI therapy chatbots, “silent walking,” streaming subscription fatigue, locked cases for deodorant, and fast food chains testing menu chaos. We finish with a deep dive into weird Lay’s potato chip flavors, a quick daylight saving time rant, and a few fresh band recommendations you can steal for your next Spotify run.

If you like smart laughs, real opinions, and a show that can pivot from geopolitics to snack culture without losing the thread, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review so more porch people can find us.

Tom, here we are again, bud.

00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.079
Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you while you're hitting that, bud.

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.239
A little too soon.

00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:27.359
Little bit.

00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:30.640
You said you were ready, man.

00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:35.280
You were ready, I was ready.

00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:37.359
You can't do that.

00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:38.400
I'm ready now.

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:39.359
Okay, cool.

00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:40.000
Here we go.

00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:40.959
Here we are again.

00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.560
Beautiful day on the porch.

00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:43.680
Yeah.

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:45.920
Excellent.

00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.480
You're looking a little lost over there, bud.

00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:53.120
Nope.

00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:53.599
Nope.

00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:55.599
I know exactly where I'm at.

00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:56.319
All right.

00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:58.319
On the porch.

00:01:58.719 --> 00:01:59.680
What a great day.

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:00.640
Beautiful day.

00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:01.760
Beautiful day.

00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:04.879
We're in summer here in the Carolinas.

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:06.959
May or March.

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:07.519
March.

00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:08.879
March just came in.

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.120
So I thought March came in like a lion.

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:12.000
This is a lion?

00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:12.960
This is a lamb.

00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:15.280
Supposed to go out like a lamb.

00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:16.000
Uh-oh.

00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:18.560
Yeah, we could be in trouble.

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:21.120
It's supposed to get colder next week.

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:22.080
It is.

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:22.560
Yeah.

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:23.840
But hey, you know what?

00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:24.800
It is what it is.

00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.240
Life in the Carolinas, right?

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.199
We've had some big snows on my mom's birthday, which is April the 5th.

00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:32.560
Anywho.

00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:33.360
Anywho?

00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:34.879
Not any of them.

00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.439
You have to be more choosy.

00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:38.080
Okay.

00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.240
You want to talk about what's been going on in the uh world?

00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:44.240
Might as well get that off our chest.

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:45.759
Let's do that.

00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:49.120
Talking about what's going on in Iran.

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:50.960
Now, people, we are not experts.

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:52.080
I think everybody knows that.

00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.639
Tom and I have our opinions.

00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.039
And I'll be honest myself, I've only seen little clips of stuff on YouTube.

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:00.080
That's pretty much it.

00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:01.280
I don't watch the shows.

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:02.400
I'm done with it.

00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:04.800
I don't know if you're the same way.

00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:07.599
As most of the American people do.

00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:07.840
Trevor Burrus, Jr.

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.000
The only thing I understand, I know it's something to do with the nuclear weapons.

00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.560
Some cash maybe Obama sh sh shouldn't have gave to Iranian.

00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:18.879
But anyways, that's back in that time.

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:20.240
But right up now now.

00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:22.000
Killing protesters.

00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.199
The Iranian people seem to be happy about it.

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:26.159
Trevor Burrus Well, they're curious.

00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:32.000
And you figure if you look back on Iran before 1979, they were Western culture.

00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:34.400
I mean they were no different than us over here.

00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:35.439
Exactly.

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.960
Then you had this Islamic frickin' idiots come in.

00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:40.639
How does that even happen?

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.039
See, that's what I'm worried about's gonna happen here.

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.240
Look at it already in Minnesota.

00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.319
People to what you are.

00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.400
We don't know who was let in here either.

00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.319
No, that's the sad part.

00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:57.280
That's what scares me.

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:03.840
This is why border security is very There's nothing wrong with borders.

00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:05.599
You know, all these people that complain about it?

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:06.719
They lock their doors.

00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:07.199
That's it.

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.159
They probably got fences around their houses, these rich people.

00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:11.039
Why?

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:12.479
Well, we don't want Okay.

00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:13.439
Exactly.

00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.079
So why is it okay to people just come in?

00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.199
Listen, I'm we already said before many times, Tom.

00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:20.480
Come here.

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:21.360
Yeah.

00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:21.920
Come on.

00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:24.000
Do something, you know.

00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:29.839
Some of the best people we've ever worked with were simulate.

00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:30.879
That's what you have to do.

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:31.519
Yes, yes.

00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:37.120
You have to simulate A lot of these Iranian protesters, I mean not protesters, people like celebrating.

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:37.279
Right.

00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:39.199
They're showing their flag, and what are they saying?

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:40.480
This is our second flag.

00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:42.720
The United States is our first flag.

00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:43.279
Right.

00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.920
They're more freaking patriotic than some of us.

00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.240
Some of us probably right.

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.759
But I do want to say the leftist, but I'm not talking Democrats.

00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.120
I'm not talking people in the middle.

00:04:58.560 --> 00:04:59.519
I'm pretty much there.

00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:00.639
I've said that before, too.

00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:01.439
I understand.

00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:02.560
Moderate.

00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:04.720
You gotta be you should be moderate.

00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:05.439
Yeah.

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.439
Just for most reasons.

00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:11.439
You could be See there's a difference now between Republican and Conservative.

00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.120
I would say I'm a little more conservative than I am Republican.

00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:16.160
Well, me too.

00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.160
Okay, so that's the difference right there.

00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:18.560
Yeah.

00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:20.639
I'm not a Republican.

00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:22.879
I'm not a Democrat.

00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.839
But anyways, it sucks what's going on.

00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:36.319
Hopefully, you know, gas prices are going up now because it's really sad that we have to divide by left and right and this is should be something though.

00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:37.680
People should be coming together.

00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:39.920
I mean, I know nobody wants a war.

00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:41.199
One common goal.

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:42.879
But nobody wants a war either.

00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.399
That's where I'm stumped at.

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:47.920
Are we right to do what we did?

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:49.199
Were they gonna attack?

00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.000
Is it just because we attacked for what reasons?

00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:52.560
Yeah.

00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.720
See, I don't want boots on the ground.

00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:57.920
Exactly.

00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.720
That's when we get in these conflicts that I don't want.

00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.560
If this is something that's gonna be done in a couple weeks, fine.

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:06.399
But we both know, I'll finish it up.

00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:11.199
We both know how Iran is probably never be done, so it's probably foolish.

00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.879
But anyways, let's get back to uh something a little more uplifting.

00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:15.360
Yeah.

00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.360
Your band, Blackhawk.

00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:18.800
I like Blackhawk.

00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:19.439
Yes.

00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:23.199
They sound I like it for what let me just put it out there.

00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:24.079
I do like the music.

00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:24.720
Me too.

00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:25.279
Okay.

00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:31.040
If I was gonna listen to the music though, I could not listen to it consistently consistently.

00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:32.480
And here's my reason why.

00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:37.920
I'd put it in a playlist because a lot of the songs are very mellow and more like lovey.

00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:38.399
Right.

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.040
Or, like I said, the songs I'll listen to on a playlist.

00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:47.279
Right.

00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:52.000
Slow, but I gotta have fast and it's definitely not something I would listen to at work.

00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.879
No, I could be chilling on a porch listening to it.

00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:55.199
Right.

00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:56.879
Like I said, I don't hate it.

00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:58.399
I love the harmonizing.

00:06:58.560 --> 00:06:59.839
Oh, they're not.

00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:02.639
That's kind of what grabbed me.

00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:03.199
Right.

00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.360
Is the bluegrassy harmonizing.

00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:05.920
Okay.

00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.000
And there's a lot of mandolin and the music.

00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:13.279
Like I said, it was just shit.

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.279
I listened to of course I listened to a list of their greatest hits on Spotify.

00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:17.759
Right.

00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:22.240
But everything just seemed in that mellow, real mellow.

00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:27.199
But they have here's here's the only thing I don't care about.

00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:36.319
They have a lot of uh music on some of their other albums that are like she kicked me out, she she's gone, blah blah blah.

00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:37.600
I think I told you to.

00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:42.160
I should have put off the greatest hits and maybe went to an album.

00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:42.480
Right.

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:47.759
And tried a couple because hey, there's even songs if I went to my favorite bands.

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:58.079
My favorite and I picked the greatest hits, it'd be like, uh yeah, these are good songs, but my favorite uh album of theirs was Love and Gravity.

00:07:58.480 --> 00:07:59.279
I wore it out.

00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.600
That's one song I can admit that I did not like Love and Gravity.

00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:05.199
Right, but the song itself.

00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.480
Right, but the album was so well.

00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:15.040
I I played it so much that yeah, I burnt it out and I had to go buy another one.

00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:17.279
Now, I'm sorry to be ignorant on this.

00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:19.199
Are they still around and doing so?

00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:20.399
They are okay.

00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:21.360
They are.

00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.240
Um I'm actually I've got them on Facebook.

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:25.279
I should have done that.

00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:26.480
They still tour.

00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:26.959
Okay.

00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:29.360
They still tour, but not around here.

00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:30.399
I don't understand.

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.759
It's mostly uh Oklahoma.

00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:35.279
So it's Midwest type.

00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.159
By Midwest by Texas, where they're from.

00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:40.000
Out that way.

00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:44.240
Well, they originated in Tennessee, is what I'm under.

00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:45.120
Oh, okay.

00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:50.080
So I think I should I apologize because I've sat so long, you know, listening to all the music.

00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:51.039
Yeah, like the chat.

00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:54.480
Background check on everything.

00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.960
I just know I love their music so much about every album they had.

00:08:59.200 --> 00:08:59.519
Right.

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:06.480
And what caught me by surprise was I thought their band had dispersed.

00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:07.039
Okay.

00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:13.039
But it didn't, and has a whole nother album I have never even heard of.

00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:14.320
So something newer.

00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:15.759
Something newer, yeah.

00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:22.080
But it's here's what original people in the band or I You're not sure.

00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.399
You just Here's the thing.

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:29.360
Uh when I was looking at it, I I look back into it.

00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:33.600
Uh the new album was like three years ago.

00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:34.159
Okay.

00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.320
So I talked with bands that I like.

00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:37.360
I go, when did this come out?

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.440
There might even be another one that I don't know about.

00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.519
So that was three years ago.

00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:44.799
But what's weird is that.

00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:49.039
First of all, I'm sorry to spring this on you because I know we were supposed to do this last week, right?

00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:50.559
We had a little incident.

00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:52.080
We had a mishap.

00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:53.440
A little bit.

00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:56.240
Caught the house and wanted to land this out.

00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:58.559
Leave it at that.

00:09:58.879 --> 00:09:59.519
Yeah.

00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:04.159
So I know that was I brought it up quickly, like oh yeah, Black Clock.

00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:05.039
We want to talk about that.

00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:12.639
So I didn't mean to just page and that was weird.

00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:18.159
I never even thought that they had uh another album.

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:18.720
Okay.

00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:19.679
But they toured.

00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:21.519
Well, that's cool.

00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:23.279
And and still see my.

00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:27.279
I thought they dispersed, but I was so excited to know that they have it.

00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.000
So Blackhawk, check 'em out.

00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:31.440
Yeah, check them out, folks.

00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:34.639
You like good music, good harmonizing.

00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:38.159
Kind of reminds me of some songs a little like the Eagles a little bit.

00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:39.200
A little, yeah.

00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.360
I think I heard like maybe the Outlaws or Marshall Tucker or something.

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:53.120
Kind of that kind of uh music, but uh I love Southern Rock, so uh now to finish, talk about the warning.

00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:54.960
They dropped a new song, right?

00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:56.720
It's called Kerosene.

00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:58.960
Cool video, I mean I guess.

00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:07.279
I don't know what it has to do with the song, but when I first listened to it, I think I told you yesterday I was a little disappointed.

00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:08.000
Right.

00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:12.480
It has a good rock sound, but there's elements that were a little poppy to me.

00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:15.519
And hey, bands expand, bands go on different routes.

00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.840
People my favorite bands, I grumble about them when why'd they go this way?

00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.720
That's them growing as a band and whatever.

00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:25.120
We do that with our football teams too.

00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:26.320
Whatever they do.

00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.120
So more I listen to it, I watch the reaction, people react to it and stuff.

00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.279
The bass line just kicks ass.

00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.600
So and I the groove is good, and uh it's growing on me.

00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:42.879
It's just I think I'm stuck with the old warning when they were kids that were more classic rock sound.

00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:44.399
And I love that.

00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:48.240
And but hey, the young girls, young ladies, they evolve.

00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:49.919
Well, just like us.

00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:51.440
They like different music.

00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:55.360
Right, so of course you're gonna hear it which is fine.

00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.879
And like I said, I'm listening to it starting to grow on me a little more.

00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:00.720
But I just wanted to throw that in there.

00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:06.559
I know Mike always talks about the warning well, and I bring up Black Hawk a lot.

00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:09.759
And that seems to be Squeak's little uh problem, too.

00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.039
But, anyways, so uh that's it.

00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.240
And speaking of little dudes, I think it's a good time to bring him in.

00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:21.120
Bring him in, and uh we'll take a little break, folks, and uh we'll be right back at the little dudes.

00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:25.440
Hello, Squeak.

00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:26.720
What the hell's up, bud?

00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:27.600
Hey, man.

00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:29.279
Here we are again.

00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:30.240
Yep.

00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.519
Right here.

00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:36.240
I wanna uh I can't believe you actually made it to my party this last weekend.

00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.919
Uh I asked you not to bring Skillet and Bumba, but you did.

00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:43.360
No, I didn't bring him.

00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.399
Actually, Skillet was very nice last time, so I didn't mind him, but there's a problem with Bumba.

00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:50.080
I didn't bring him.

00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.360
He came with you, he followed me.

00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:54.799
He didn't come with me.

00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:59.200
You looked like you were together when you walked through the door while I was trying to tell him.

00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.159
I didn't believe my apologies.

00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.440
Didn't have the room inside.

00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:10.480
Right, I understand that my door was not that big.

00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:12.639
Okay.

00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:14.240
Okay.

00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.159
I just didn't want no hard feelings.

00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:17.600
I want no hard feelings.

00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:21.679
The more I stay inside, the more outside, the better I will.

00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:22.720
Okay.

00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:28.720
So uh I saw you over there getting uh pretty uh chummy there with tackle.

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.519
I was just I'm gonna snap clean.

00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.120
I was just telling him what a stupid idea he had.

00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.039
I saw you both laughing.

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:42.000
Yeah.

00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:43.759
I said, you know what?

00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:47.440
What did you say to him?

00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:54.559
I said, Snap and pop like they're just so big and cattle, snap right in the middle.

00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:56.559
I said, You want to be the big one.

00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.200
Why do you want to snap problems?

00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.519
I don't snap problems, I'm just telling you.

00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.759
Okay, okay, okay, wait a minute.

00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.120
Okay, well, I don't care how cattle slap snap.

00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:12.080
That sounds dumb.

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:19.039
I don't care how it sounds as long as I between sweet.

00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:25.519
I had a I had to get together at the house.

00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:26.960
Yeah, get together.

Okay, well this explains why and uh stab haven't talked to me.

00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:43.039
I don't talk to you.

00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.720
I haven't spoken to him since last weekend.

00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:48.320
That's a shame.

00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:50.799
It is a shame, but now I know why.

00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:51.279
Why?

00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:52.799
Why?

00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.200
I told you why the crack you want to.

00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:36.559
You're gonna apologize.

00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:38.080
That's what you're gonna do.

00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:41.919
That's what you're gonna do, I will apologize.

00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:58.320
You know, when the people make fun of you, I don't get um upset.

00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:01.600
They don't make fun of me.

00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:02.320
They do.

00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:04.000
Okay.

00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:05.919
They ask me, why?

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.080
Why do you even hang around with sweet?

00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:10.000
What do you see in that guy?

00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:13.600
And you say, I don't know.

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:16.720
I don't know.

00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:17.679
I have no idea.

00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:19.519
I know exactly why.

00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:26.480
That's what Tom said.

00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.200
No, Tom never said that.

00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:31.519
I talk to Mike and Tom all the time.

00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:32.960
Yeah, I know you do.

00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:34.720
And you should hear what they say.

00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.440
They want to know why you're even here half the time.

00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:38.480
Why, why?

00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:41.759
Why do you let sweet do this show with you?

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:47.120
Well, because I give you the stop, and I give an alternative view the thing.

00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.679
You give an alternative view all right.

00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:00.799
I'm here when I'm here sweet.

00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:04.160
I want to do a nice show for the people.

00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:04.640
Okay.

00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:12.240
Whatever this is that you do, you know, kind of you wanna come with that.

00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:16.319
That's their show.

00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.720
It's the M Picas.

00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:34.319
Okay.

00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:39.599
One thing I will say though, I don't know if you notice this.

00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:46.400
Oh, listen then.

00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:52.480
You wanna talk about that?

00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:59.759
You shouldn't bring it, bring up like that.

00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:01.839
Well, this one, we whoop goes.

00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.000
Okay, so I didn't say it like that.

00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:05.359
No, you needed to.

00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:06.400
No, no, no, no.

00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.000
Right, um we need no disrespect.

00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:12.240
Thank you for letting us in the studio.

00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:13.839
I mean no disrespect.

00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:15.599
Thank you for letting us have it.

00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:22.160
Okay, let's talk about something else.

00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:22.640
Okay.

00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:24.319
What are you doing?

00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:25.599
What'd you do after the party?

00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:26.799
What'd you do, Louis?

00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:33.440
You did nothing.

00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:34.799
I did something.

00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:35.920
What did you do?

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:37.759
Don't say nothing, Louise.

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:42.480
Anyway, it's not and again, you just made it sound like a gym.

00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.640
I mean, yeah, I'm excited to find the way it's not a long time.

00:19:54.160 --> 00:20:01.440
Sometimes it's just uh maybe think of getting some a gym at your house or something.

00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:02.240
A gym.

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.519
You would have the Louise can work out together.

00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:10.079
Maybe both of you lose a little weight.

00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:11.359
Okay, wait a minute.

00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:18.000
Why don't you let her get on you?

00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:26.559
Okay, I remember the last time.

00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:30.880
Was it fun?

00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:32.160
Was it worth it?

00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:33.279
Okay, listen.

00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:36.799
Was it fun when you had your first tooth?

00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:37.759
No.

00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:38.240
Okay.

00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:39.599
Was it worth it?

00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:39.920
No.

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:42.160
Was it worth it when you had your first teeth?

00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:43.039
No.

00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:43.519
Okay.

00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:47.200
I didn't let it.

00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.799
She said, Wait a minute.

00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:58.400
How long did it last?

00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:07.200
Well, because it passed out, it lasted longer than it should have because I saved it when it was on.

00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:09.759
Okay, like you say, all right.

00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:14.880
I did, but she said, I didn't know if you meant the black or the damn colour.

00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:30.799
Sound like an adjunct.

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:46.640
I don't want to be grassy.

00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:50.559
So I'm gonna be taking off with the Uber driver again.

00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:58.400
Nice living this jet-set lifestyle.

00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:33.440
In the meantime, might be around next time, and maybe his Greek won't be around.

00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:35.119
I will be around, okay.

00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:36.400
His Greek will be around.

00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:39.680
We'll see you later, people.

00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:46.400
Okay, and we're back.

00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:48.480
Those two little dudes.

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:49.839
I have to giggle.

00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:51.279
You have to giggle?

00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:51.759
Yeah.

00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:54.079
Why is the microphone way over there?

00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:58.799
Well, because nope.

00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:00.319
It's gonna sound better right there.

00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:00.880
Oh, okay.

00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:04.880
Yeah, because when I put it on, my voice is getting I got you.

00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:06.640
Just because I can hear it don't mean everybody.

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:07.519
Exactly.

00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:08.240
I got you.

00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:09.680
Want that good sound.

00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:10.319
Boom.

00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:11.039
Boom.

00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:12.799
We're on a poetry member.

00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:13.440
I do.

00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:17.119
We don't have a little mic holder anymore.

00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:17.759
Nope.

00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:19.279
Oh, I'm not holding it.

00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:19.839
Here.

00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:20.799
Here, Mike.

00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:21.519
Hold it.

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:23.279
So, yeah, it's strange.

00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:24.000
Anyways.

00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:27.759
I dug up some stories, some strange stories.

00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:28.480
Okay.

00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:30.160
The little dudes are there.

00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:30.640
Okay.

00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.440
Did you know Americans are doom spending now?

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:36.319
Doom spending.

00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:37.039
Okay.

00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:44.160
I guess it's uh financial anal analysis say people are spending money because they feel the future is uncertain, anyways.

00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:45.359
Yeah, might as well not.

00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:47.920
I'm gonna get the good chips, man.

00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:50.720
I'm gonna buy the expensive stuff now.

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:51.839
There you go.

00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:57.359
They say people are buying concert tickets, tattoos, and expensive dinners because savings feel pointless.

00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:58.960
They have money to save?

00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:01.599
Who has savings to be money?

00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:02.480
Exactly.

00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:04.559
Paycheck to paycheck.

00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:07.519
Here's another interesting one.

00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:10.480
People are replacing therapy with AI.

00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:11.119
Oh.

00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.599
More Americans are now talking to AI chat boss instead of therapists.

00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:20.160
Well, of course, because AI is gonna tell you what you want to hear.

00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:21.039
Okay.

00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:22.319
Yeah, well.

00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:24.559
No, I don't want to hear that.

00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:25.680
Tell me this instead.

00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:26.000
Yeah.

00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:27.279
Thank you.

00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:31.200
The rise of silent walking.

00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:32.720
Silent walking.

00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:33.440
Zombies.

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:33.839
Shh.

00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:35.759
Don't walk very loud.

00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:39.599
It says a viral trend where people walk without headphones, phones, or podcasts.

00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:40.960
We did that all the time.

00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:42.400
What?

00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:42.799
Yeah.

00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:45.599
I guess you'd be just I walk like that every time.

00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:46.880
So that's silent walking.

00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:48.240
We used to do that all the time.

00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:48.799
Yeah.

00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:51.839
And if I'm walking, why do I have no, no, no.

00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:53.599
I can understand though sometimes.

00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:54.640
You need a little music.

00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:58.000
Yeah, I like I like a little tune in my ear once in a while.

00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:00.319
Like a great walk just in the wilderness.

00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:00.720
Yeah.

00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:02.559
And I don't need headphones or my phone.

00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:04.799
No, because it's all around you.

00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:08.240
It says here, yes, this is apparently revolutionary now.

00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:09.599
Revolutionary.

00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:11.119
Congratulations, humanity.

00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:12.720
You just rediscovered walking.

00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:16.799
Yay! Woohoo! In the 70s, it was just called going outside.

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:17.279
Yeah.

00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:22.799
People are quitting streaming services, Tom.

00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:25.039
Well, they ought to.

00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:25.920
Let's see.

00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:28.960
Viewers are getting tired of paying for six, eight subscriptions.

00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:29.599
It's true.

00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:31.119
Okay, this is on this.

00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:32.720
Okay, but I want to watch this.

00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:33.680
I gotta get this.

00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:34.000
Right.

00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:34.799
Streaming it.

00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:36.240
No, no, no, I gotta get this.

00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:38.160
Because they don't see it now.

00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:39.359
That's another thing.

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:40.720
Used to just, okay.

00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:43.119
CBS, Fox, ABC, NBC.

00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:44.400
Well, I wonder if we're gonna have it.

00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:44.880
Nope.

00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:45.279
No, no.

00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:47.119
Oh, but it's Amazon tonight.

00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:47.839
No, no, no, no.

00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:49.440
Or Netflix tonight now.

00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:49.920
Yeah.

00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:51.920
Or or what was it?

00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:57.599
Uh it was one time of ah crap.

00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:00.799
The Nickelodeon had it one time.

00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:01.440
No.

00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:02.480
No, no.

00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:04.960
Nickelodeon never had it, no.

00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:07.759
It's always been Amazon.

00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:10.079
Netflix had it one time.

00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:13.279
Uh, there's another streaming service that had it.

00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:14.960
Hulu.

00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:16.640
No, uh, what's that?

00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:17.599
NBC one.

00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:18.160
Peacock.

00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:18.720
Peacock.

00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:19.359
Yes.

00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:26.640
So if you didn't if if you were local and your team was on, you could watch it on but if you were like a new I gotta have Peacock?

00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:27.119
Yeah.

00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:28.880
Anyways, it's ridiculous.

00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:30.079
Yeah, they get you got it.

00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:31.279
Here's a good question, though.

00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:34.319
What three services would you keep if you had to cancel everything else?

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:38.079
First of all, if I had to cancel everything and I had to pick one.

00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:38.799
Hmm.

00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:41.039
I'll be honest.

00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:42.720
See, that's where you're stuck.

00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:43.200
Yeah.

00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:44.000
You're stuck, right?

00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:45.920
I mean everything's good.

00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:51.119
I mean I would say if you're gonna get YouTube would probably be the better one.

00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:53.680
Right, because you could have your local channels.

00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:54.160
Right.

00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:57.279
Where if you have Netflix, it's what they have on.

00:28:57.519 --> 00:28:58.799
What they do, right?

00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:02.480
It's to be and all those other ones, whatever they have on.

00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:02.799
Right.

00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.079
Their live TV is like Roku, SoundCo.

00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:07.039
Right.

00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:10.160
But it's I don't know that's tough.

00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:13.519
And if you want to pay for regular cable, you're paying out the ass for bullshit.

00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:14.799
Well, see what you're paying for.

00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:23.920
If you live where I do and you don't have access to regular cable, and I'm not paying satellite prices all the crap.

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:25.039
I'm gonna be honest, though.

00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:25.920
$300.

00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:29.279
I do miss my uh direct TV.

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:30.559
Direct TV was good.

00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:33.440
Not the payment wise, but the picture quality they had.

00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:39.039
And when I got spectrum cable, I was like, well, this doesn't look that great at all.

00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:40.640
What did I do?

00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:42.160
But uh it got too expensive.

00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:43.519
I wasn't paying, that was outrageous.

00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:43.759
Yeah.

00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:49.279
That if you wanted to get the NFL game ticket, Sunday ticket, you had to pay an extra$300 a year.

00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:50.000
Yeah.

00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:51.839
But, anyways, uh, let's move on.

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:55.680
Okay, fast food chains testing weird menu items again.

00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:56.480
Weird.

00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:57.039
Okay.

00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:00.799
We got a race going on somewhere.

00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.039
I think it's right here in front of your house.

00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:06.079
No, it's this truck coming up.

00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:08.480
He's in front of the house now.

00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:08.799
Yeah.

00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:09.759
Here he comes.

00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:10.960
There you go, big truck.

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:11.920
How are you doing?

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:14.480
All right, so examples floating around.

00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:16.480
We got chicken nuggets with new sauces.

00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:18.000
Well, what are the new sauces?

00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:19.680
They don't tell me.

00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:21.759
Desert fries?

00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:23.440
Desert fries.

00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:24.720
Dessert fries.

00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:26.000
Oh, dessert fries.

00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:26.880
I was gonna say, what is it?

00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:29.359
But then they have spicy dessert items.

00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:30.240
Ooh.

00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:33.839
What is spicy dessert?

00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:36.240
So I guess this is McDonald's and Taco Bell.

00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:38.960
I'm gonna say Taco Bell has a spicy dessert items.

00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:39.839
Oh, right.

00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:43.839
And chicken nuggets with new sauces gotta be McDonald's.

00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:44.640
Right.

00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:46.000
What are the new sauces?

00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:47.680
See, this could be interesting.

00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:48.480
Yeah.

00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:50.000
Some new sauces.

00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:51.359
I don't know.

00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:54.079
I like that honey mustard pretty good.

00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:57.759
Oh, look, there's a strange supermarket trend going on.

00:30:58.000 --> 00:30:58.480
What is it?

00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:01.839
Stores are putting locked cases around everyday items like deodorant.

00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:02.640
That's not new.

00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:03.920
That's only in the big cities, too.

00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:05.519
Yeah, too, yeah.

00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:09.039
I I just want to get why can't I get this toothpaste?

00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:12.559
Well, because you gotta call for a manager with a key to.

00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:13.359
There it is.

00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:16.799
Someone actually, excuse me, sir, can someone unlock the toothpaste?

00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:21.039
We used to lock up diamonds, now we lock up shampoo.

00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:24.559
Oh, here's one that sounds pretty interesting.

00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:25.759
It's right up our alley.

00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:29.680
A dog won a local election, sort of, in parentheses.

00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:30.960
Several towns in the U.S.

00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:33.599
have ceremonial animal may Okay.

00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:36.000
One famous example is Max the Dog.

00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:37.039
Max the Dog.

00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:39.200
Okay.

00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:41.359
Hey, how about that sheriff?

00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:47.200
The guy that killed his daughter's rapist.

00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:49.279
Bring him bastard.

00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:50.319
Went to jail.

00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:51.519
They let him out.

00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:57.759
Then he ran for the yeah, but then he goes to the house, so the guy catches the daughter with the guy.

00:31:57.920 --> 00:31:58.160
Right.

00:31:58.400 --> 00:31:59.200
Shoots him.

00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:00.319
He gets arrested.

00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:00.799
He waits.

00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:01.519
He calls the cops.

00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:01.759
Yep.

00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:02.559
Kill the guy.

00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:03.119
Yep.

00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:05.200
He runs for the freaking sheriff and wins.

00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:06.720
And he's still in trial.

00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:08.240
And it's still going to trick trial.

00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:08.559
Man.

00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:10.000
But he's their sheriff now.

00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:10.880
I vote for him.

00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.599
You guys wanted to let this freaking pedophile out?

00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:16.480
Yep.

00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:17.680
Anyway.

00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:18.880
Yeah, anyways.

00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:24.880
So now I want to move on to the exciting part of our That was pretty exciting.

00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:25.839
Anyway.

00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:26.400
Yeah.

00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:30.720
Well, we have some strange new Lay's potato chip flavors, Tom.

00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:31.119
Oh, yeah.

00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:35.039
Remember a couple years ago we did a segment on a little thing on that.

00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:36.480
They got new ones?

00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:37.519
They have new ones.

00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:37.920
Okay.

00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:40.799
Well, let's see if they improved or got more numb.

00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:42.720
I think you'll like some of them.

00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:43.440
I will.

00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:44.000
Okay.

00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:46.640
How about a bacon grilled cheese potato chip?

00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:48.880
Now see that would hit the spot.

00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:50.640
If it tasted like a chip.

00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:51.200
Exactly.

00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:54.880
Well, according here, it's combining bacon cheese and a buttery toast flavor.

00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:55.279
Okay.

00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:58.480
I can get into that if that's what it really tastes like.

00:32:58.559 --> 00:32:58.720
Yeah.

00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:02.720
How about a wavy Korean style fried chicken chip?

00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:04.640
Sweet, spicy Korean fried chip.

00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:05.440
Yeah, I'd try it.

00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:06.079
I'd try it.

00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:07.039
I would try it.

00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:08.480
Korean fried chicken.

00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:10.640
Okay, here's a lot of Mexican sides.

00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:12.079
Valentina and Lyme.

00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:13.039
What's Valentina?

00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:16.319
Inspired by the Mexican hot sauce snack combo.

00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:17.519
I have no idea.

00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:18.559
But I would try it.

00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:23.200
I would let someone else buy it and give me a chip to try.

00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:24.880
Yeah, let me have some of that.

00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:25.359
Okay.

00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:27.680
These were sold in stores in 2025.

00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:28.000
Okay.

00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:32.000
And bacon grilled cheese even came back again in 26 because people liked it.

00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:34.000
So I guess people didn't like it, though.

00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:36.480
Well, it does say here it was a 2025 winner.

00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:36.960
Right.

00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:38.799
Which, okay, stands a reason.

00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:39.680
Yeah, it does.

00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:41.680
Okay, other limited U.S.

00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:43.039
flavors in 2025.

00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:44.799
The Thai style red curry.

00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:46.160
It's a little windy here, folks.

00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:46.960
We're on the porch.

00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:48.000
We're on the porch.

00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:50.079
Thai style red curry.

00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:51.839
Curry spices and chili flavor.

00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:52.799
I might try that too.

00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:53.759
Yeah, me too.

00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:54.240
Ooh.

00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:55.440
Loaded nachos.

00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:56.160
Bang.

00:33:56.559 --> 00:33:58.799
Cheese, taco seasoning, and spice.

00:33:59.039 --> 00:33:59.440
Bang.

00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:00.079
Yep.

00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:00.559
Yep.

00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:02.160
Cheesy buffalo dip.

00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:02.960
Oh, come on.

00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:03.599
Bang.

00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:04.079
Yeah.

00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:05.759
Double bang.

00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:06.799
That's a no-brainer right there.

00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:07.519
No doubt.

00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:08.719
No brainer.

00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:10.320
All right.

00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:12.880
New flavors introduced for 2026.

00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:13.440
Okay.

00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:15.199
Loaded baked potato.

00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:16.000
Didn't they have that on that?

00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:16.639
They have that.

00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:17.519
I thought they did.

00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:17.679
Maybe.

00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:19.519
Muffles maybe did that.

00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:20.400
This one sounds good.

00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:22.079
Roasted garlic and herbs.

00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:22.639
Yeah.

00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:23.119
See.

00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:23.760
That sounds good.

00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:24.400
Tammy.

00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:25.199
Tammy like.

00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:27.440
Or some other lady likes that.

00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:31.920
It's it's these launched in early 2026 as part of Lee's baked chip lineup.

00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:35.280
Oh, one big flavor that just came to the U.S.

00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:35.760
Okay.

00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:37.360
It's called All Dressed.

00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:38.400
All dressed?

00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:39.199
Oh, God.

00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:45.119
Canadian, a Canadian classic flavor combining barbecue, ketchup, vinegar, and spices.

00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:45.840
Well, you know what?

00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:46.960
I'd probably try it.

00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:51.679
Okay, but first read read Is it the Canadian part that got to you?

00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:55.599
Yeah, because you said the US.

00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:57.920
One big flavor that just came to the U.S.

00:34:58.159 --> 00:34:58.400
US.

00:34:59.920 --> 00:35:00.800
Oh my God.

00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:03.679
Canook.

00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:19.440
So they say the weirdest Lay's flavors from 25 to 26 are probably the Thai style red curry, the Korean style fried chicken, the Valentina and lime, baked grilled cheese, or bacon grilled cheese, sorry, and loaded nachos.

00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:21.840
See, which are grilled cheese, everyone.

00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:23.679
Yeah, I would try them all too.

00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:27.760
Especially the the last one you read.

00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:29.039
Yep.

00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:29.760
Okay.

00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:30.559
Grilled cheese.

00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:33.679
I'm gonna read a couple things to you, and you tell me which one is real.

00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:34.159
Okay.

00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:34.800
Okay.

00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:36.559
Bacon grilled cheese.

Okay.

00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:38.719
Thai red curry.

00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:39.119
Okay.

00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:40.800
Korean fried chicken.

00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:41.280
Gotcha.

00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:42.960
Or dill pickled milkshake.

00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:44.159
That's real.

00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:45.440
I think you're right.

00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:47.280
Dill pickled milkshake.

00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:49.920
People are just that stupid.

00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:52.639
I don't believe that's one.

00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:53.360
You don't?

00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:54.400
No, it isn't.

00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:57.199
Wait a minute.

00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:00.800
They actually have a chip that tastes like beer, Tom.

00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:02.800
Oh, give me a bag.

00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:03.599
Oh, wait a minute.

00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:05.360
It tastes like beer and peach.

00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:06.239
What?

00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:07.199
No.

00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:11.519
You get How about one that tastes like a cucumber salad?

00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:15.360
Okay.

00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:17.840
What are you eating?

00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:18.880
Meeting healthy.

00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:20.400
It's a cucumber salad.

00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:20.800
Yeah.

00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:23.840
Guys, I eat all those bags of chips.

00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:26.719
But that one's really picking up there, buddy.

00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:27.599
Yeah.

00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:29.679
But yeah.

00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:32.159
So Lay's came out with some more uh chips.

00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:32.880
Yay.

00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:34.239
Yeah, yes for chips.

00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:34.559
All right.

00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:35.679
Hooray for Lay's.

00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:41.440
Yeah, and speaking of Lays, they had a cute little commercial during the Super Bowl this year.

00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:42.639
I did not see this.

00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:48.000
The little girl that planted her little potato and it's not.

00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:50.800
I didn't really watch the commercials.

00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:52.480
The commercials are what I watch.

00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:54.719
Yeah, but I don't know why I didn't.

00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:55.519
Yeah.

00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:56.639
Oh, well, I know why.

00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:57.039
Why?

00:36:57.199 --> 00:36:58.639
Because I was too frickin' pissed off.

00:36:58.800 --> 00:36:59.519
My team was playing.

00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:01.039
That's right.

00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:03.360
You cannot enjoy a Super Bowl when your team is playing.

00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:05.280
You can't enjoy the Super Bowl.

00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:06.800
You can't enjoy the halftime shit.

00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:07.840
You can't enjoy the commercials.

00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:10.000
Yeah.

00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:11.280
With the game shitty?

00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:11.840
Frick yeah.

00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:13.119
All you do is pissed off.

00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:13.679
I don't want to go.

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:17.679
But anyway, there's next year.

00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:18.800
Moving on.

00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:23.760
And they just released digs.

00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:27.440
Kind of sad about that, but hey, we'll see what happens.

00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:30.559
I am so waiting for a football season again.

00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:30.880
Yep, I'm not sure.

00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:32.320
I could care less about summer.

00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:33.599
You know what sucks too?

00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:33.840
What?

00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:36.960
We haven't talked about this fucking time change again.

00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:38.559
Here it is already.

00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:39.840
Moving the clock ahead.

00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:42.000
I hate this time of year.

00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:42.880
I freaking hate it.

00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:45.599
Well, and everybody's like, well, I don't love it.

00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:47.519
Four extra light.

00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:50.000
How are you supposed to go to sleep in the morning?

00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:51.119
What time do you go to bed?

00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:52.239
Well, about nine.

00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:52.559
Okay.

00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:54.559
So what's the frickin' difference?

00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:56.159
Anyway.

00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:58.719
Why do you need light at nine quarter nine?

00:37:58.800 --> 00:37:59.199
I don't get it.

00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:01.519
I have hard enough time going to sleep at the six.

00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:04.239
I said before, I like to be on my porch where no one can see me.

00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:04.800
It's dark.

00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:05.119
Right.

00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:06.000
You know, it's dark out.

00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:06.960
I don't want people seeing me.

00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:08.400
Especially if I'm naked.

00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:09.199
It's sad in.

00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:11.039
Oh well, yeah, that doesn't help.

00:38:11.199 --> 00:38:13.039
Well, I glow in the dark then.

00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:14.880
I don't want that happening either.

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:16.320
It depends on what condoms.

00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:20.239
The little condoms that are glow in the dark.

00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:21.760
You can't see that.

00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:25.119
What's that little dot?

00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:26.079
Wait a minute.

00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:28.960
I think I see some red eyes over there.

00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:30.880
No, that's never mind.

00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:31.760
Never mind.

00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:32.239
Yeah.

00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:38.159
So, oh, I'd like to bring up a mention, quick mention on a couple of different bands I've listened to recently.

00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:39.360
Cool, yeah.

00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:40.000
Okay.

00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:42.800
Uh Gunshine.

00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:43.360
Right.

00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:47.440
Singer sounds a little bit like old Vince Neal from Motley Crew, somewhat, somewhat.

00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:50.880
But the it's got a goose, uh good bluesy rock sound.

00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:52.320
So people check them out.

00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:57.519
And another one I've just heard of, I don't know how long they've been around, but Framing the Red.

00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:00.159
They do a great cover of Hair of the Dog from Nazareth.

00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:09.519
So a couple bands I've just heard recently, because you know, I go on Spotify, put in Cody Parks and then the music, and you know, so I'm like, wow, I I can dig this shit.

00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:10.079
Right.

00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:10.880
How about you?

00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:18.960
Any new bands or any other bands you've been I listen a lot, and one that sticks out is old Crow Medicine Shows.

00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:19.280
Okay.

00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:20.239
And I like them.

00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:22.480
And Tom's sticking to the the oldies?

00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:23.920
Nostalgia.

00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:26.880
Well, I like the blue grassy kind of thing.

00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:29.760
And and well, there's got to be some newer bands that are decent.

00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:32.159
Why that one is really picking up.

00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:32.480
Wow.

00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:34.320
And Stevens Siegels.

00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:34.880
Yeah.

00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:38.880
They uh they do some really good blue grassy.

00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:40.079
Oh, yeah, right, right.

00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:43.840
And they they play different music, but it it's a good stuff.

00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:48.320
And I like the old gospel sound, you know.

00:39:48.639 --> 00:39:52.400
See, but you need to have bands that tell people like what exactly.

00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:54.239
Yeah, that that's helpful.

00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:55.199
Yep.

00:39:55.440 --> 00:40:00.960
So next time when you're listening to your playlist and something comes up you like, I'm gonna jot it down.

00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:03.679
Right it down might be something that nobody's heard of before.

00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:04.079
Yep.

00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:04.800
You know?

00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:07.760
All right, I think I'll that's how these bands get known.

00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:08.960
Right, exactly.

00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:11.199
On that note, Tom, I think we're gonna end it.

00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:13.119
Yeah, it's beautiful, beautiful day.

00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:14.559

That's probably pip and squeak.

00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:10.480
Damn little freaking runs.

00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:11.199
But anyway.

00:41:11.679 --> 00:41:12.639
Stupid kids.

00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:15.360
But yeah, that's been a good one, Tom.

00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:16.320
Any last words?

00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:17.119
Uh yeah.
