[music] Welcome to the worst week yet. The least informed podcast on the left, it's a podcast where every week we feel like fucking shit, but the show must go on. I'm your host, Andrew Hillary, and I have cold, and I'm joined by Kennedy Cooper. Kennedy was, ah, hey, what's up, you fuck ass? And before you ask, I'm allowed to say that because I have fucked an ass. Okay. So I guess I can sit, look, we're all friends here. I don't know why I'm coming in so hot, other than I think I'm just feeling more traumatized than usual this week. It's been one week! And I'm going to kick it out on you, this is a great white man. It's deliberately so. Here's the thing, I'm not going to put up much of a fight. Yeah, you're sick, so it's especially easy. Just walk all over me, I don't fucking care. So it's not just me and Kennedy. We have a guest, we have a goddamn guest joining us for the first time today. Good friend of mine, personal friend, somebody I have been in the same room with, like at least seven times, and in probably four cities, I don't know, I can't, I don't, I refuse to count. Please welcome to the show, John Michael Bond. What's up, buddy? Hey, how are you guys doing? Thanks so much for having me. Thank you for coming on the show. This is the rare podcast where it's not just a person you're only pair of socially online friends with. This is really cool. I've actually hung out with Andrew, Kennedy and I are fresh friends, but I was able to identify Nutella slice of toast this morning, so I feel like we're already bonding. Yeah, bonded over weed and Nutella, that's enough. Yeah, weed and Nutella, if you got that in common, that's enough. That's a basis for a friend. I assume if you're friends with Andrew, you don't have like abysmal politics with the exception of one of Andrew's friends that, nothing in my name, but that I have met. But was also like one of the better guests we've had on it on an episode, this is incredible podcast. I mean, I do have abysmal politics, but it's just about menial things. I believe that peanut farmers should have to register with the state, things like that. Is this this, you know, you've got to forgive Jimmy Carter, one of these days. Okay, I know he's still around and you the man was a simp. He said us back. He should have taken a fascinated after he interfered in national politics. And God is going to make him live for 200 years as punishment for losing America. Fair enough. So I can't really argue with any of the points you're making. I was all. Did the hostages ever get into the state? Maybe we're the hostages that Reagan kept to win the election, you know, the real hostages of the friends who made along the way. I don't know. Doesn't seem sort of like Jimmy Carter is in a perpetual state of being held hostage by God. Like, yeah, I know you're supposed to get into heaven, but I'm not going to let you. Yeah. So, I mean, you should have fought harder, peanut man. We all have kind of been held hostage by Reagan's politics for going on, like what? 45 years now. So yeah, you know, there might be a little more truth to what you're saying than would meet the eye. I feel like all of our monster presidents got a chance to like people stopped feeling the echoing reverberations of their actions eventually. And Reagan's the last one where like, Oh, no, we're just going to feel your evil every single day. Yeah. Like a bell that run by a ghost. I like to start podcasts on a positive note. And that's fair. You came to the right podcast for that. So being that I am currently under the weather, not feeling good at all, I forgot to mention in addition to just being a personal friend of mine, John Michael Bond is also a fucking stand up comedian. Hey, very fun. I was going to try to segue in and up comedian. Yeah. You know, I left out. I buried the lead a little bit, John Michael, you've got, you have got an album coming out soon. Why don't you tell us a little bit about it? Yeah, it's called Cry Uncle is coming out on Brandi Posey's Burnless Records friend of the show. Yeah. October 18th, it'll be out on video by four by three days sometime in November. It's a I'm very real. I'm damn proud of it. Which is, I realized a couple of years ago that I wasn't going to be a dad and started really leaning into taking care of my nephews and like trying to be cool to all the kids that I'm not related to. And it's kind of changed the way I was writing jokes. So it is, it is, it is, it's if you ever were like, man, I'm not experiencing any of the life milestones that I thought I would in my late thirties. And now I don't know how to stop feeling crushed with anxiety. I have a great comedy album coming in. I will personally joke about sex and serial killers and it's great. I will personally vouch. I got to see the, the hour, I think right before you recorded it, or maybe right after I think right before. Yeah, it was like five days before it was awesome. It was, it's fucking rips. You're going to love this album. Everybody, I don't know if you can preorder, but if you can't just get the fucking album when it comes out, listen to it, you're going to laugh. You're going to have a good time. You're going to feel different about the children in your life. It's, I mean, the kids are only like 10 minutes of it, but I, I don't know. I feel like it, I feel like it's, there's a certain subset of people who have done the best they can in life. And through the economic reality we live in, maybe are missing milestones that they thought were important. And I, I, the thing that I keep having people tell me when they hear it is just like, I think this is going to make someone who's feeling bad feel better. That was like, cool. Could you say it's funny? And they're like, it's also funny. So I have a good, it's, it's dope in a, it comes up on that being funny anymore. Okay. It's about pushing the boundaries of whatever I want to be clear. And I want to brag. No claptor anywhere on the album, uh, at no point do I get an applause Blake break for being correct. And, uh, I'm really proud of that. I, I took out a couple of things where, uh, I just talked about the Fed, uh, I thought it was cheap, cheap heat and, uh, yeah, no, it's, it's, it's fun. Uh, it comes out on preorder Monday. And if you, uh, email me or send me a message on Twitter or Instagram that you preordered it, I will send you a package of photos. Oh, is the photo of me? Okay. Here's, I do have one slight criticism of the process of the recording of the album, uh, at the show you performed in Pittsburgh, you bust, you had your fancy ass camera with you and you took a picture of me inside the ice cream truck, which it is like six months later. I have yet to see this photograph. So to be fair, I did spend the last, it's, it's only been four months, but I did spend that entire summer, uh, having a mild nervous breakdown, teaching myself how to DIY edit every single component of it. So like, like the audio of the show got screwed up a little bit and I had to, I, instead of just hiring an engineer, cause I couldn't, I taught myself, uh, audio engineering. And then I edited a four camera set up by myself and I was like, sure, I can learn how to do that. And I've just been, if anything, I've been heavily focused on kiddick was done, but one of the pictures will be Andrew and his ice cream truck. And if you pre-order the album hard enough, I'll make sure you see it before Andrew does. I do believe that that had, uh, at the time you took that picture, I had my, um, because I was inside at the show, I had to put up my, uh, my security system, which is just a sign that says, please don't rob me. I think I have a picture of that, but yeah, I, I actually did just start editing with the tour photos last week, that's the only thing is I am like, I'm a professional photographer and my spare time, uh, so like getting around to editing my stuff always takes second priority until like any, uh, dog weddings or, uh, none of our, let me know when my age gets married anymore. But by God, they're fucking pets are I remember the, uh, a point in my life whenever a friend of the show Brad, um, told me that he and his girlfriend had done a 23 and me for their dog and then had met one of the dog's relatives, uh, or found one of the dog's relatives through the like dog 23 me database and they were doing a zoom call so that the two dogs could meet over the phone. And here's the thing, I mean dogs, they can maybe understand their relatives, but only by scent showing a dog. First of all, I don't think dogs can even really process images on a screen, but like seems like there's a lot of RGB there, but there's also like the big thing is that the dog does not know that dog at all and unless it could smell its butthole, that dog still does not know that dog at all. And I was just sitting there and I was like, you know what? Okay. This is gone. You need to shut this down. We need the sun to eat earth speaking of speaking of the end of life as we know it. I was like, I think about like a dog being on 23 and meeting me is like a dog finding out its great grandfather was a cop in Memphis and you're like, Oh, no, I'm I'm descended from bad, bad boys. Like when I found out I haven't I had a distant relative that's like honored as being the oldest living Confederate soldier when he died in in Mississippi or wherever and it's just like, Oh great, my, I'm like seven degrees removed from this guy, but it still feels bad somehow. If only you had more follow through, he wouldn't have been the oldest Confederate soldier. I'm not saying you hold a pillow, but maybe maybe take some heart medicine away, you know, like man, like people are too cowardly to do with Jimmy Carter Jimmy Carter made a deal with the devil. And it looks like the devil in the, it's like a tortoise in the hair thing. Like for a while Jimmy Carter was coming out on top, you know, he lost his second presidential run, but then he got to like even though he did some terrible fuck shit, he became beloved for a second time, you know, doing all that habitat for humanity bullshit and he looked like and then it was like, okay, I'm 85 time to die and the devil's like, I'm sorry, man, keeping people alive in their hundreds is that's God shit. That's not the devil. Also, that's Old Testament, normally a Mandela effect type person, but I swear to God, his death has been announced by reputable news sources many times. And people will go, yeah, Jimmy Carter's still alive. I'll be like, no, he isn't. Come on. Fuck off. Like, well, they like pre rewrite obituaries for people like that. Do you know how many times they've had to rewrite Jimmy Carter's obituary? Because every year for the last 10 years, I'm guessing Jimmy Carter has entered a new phase. He's the queen of England, folks, let's, you know, we've got, we've got speaking of the queen of England. We've got news. We've got a lot of news in most of it, if not all of it bad, however, but yes, I'm sorry. I didn't, I hate to break it to you, but well, you know what show you're on. I'm rejecting your reality. Before we get to that though, there's something else. I would argue an even more pressing matter. And that is the fact that we have a Patreon, patreon.com slash worst week yet. You can sign up. You could get some bonus episodes of the show. You could give us a little bit of money to keep this motherfucker thing going. We have now entered into Shyamalan Tember. No, Shyamalan Tober. The Shyamalan Tember that nobody asked for much like many of M. Night Shyamalan's movies. Correct. Kennedy and I are deep diving the Shyamalan that is M. Night. We are our next episode. It's great. Our next episode is the lady in the water and old. We are going to be covering two of, I would argue the most controversial movies he's put out. Well, not controversial, hated. Although I think I liked old, I liked old when I watched it. But here's the thing. You know me. Good lady in the water is a temper tantrum. Oh my God. Lady in the water is a guy making the sixth sense about wanting to kill everyone who doesn't like his art. You're going to love it. Great. So stoked to watch it. Oh my God. There's like dying over here. It's actually kind of cool to see you sick because I didn't realize you sneezed like Sylvester the cat. You even come back a little Sylvester on the sorry, everybody's supranced attach. It's one of Andrew Hillary's many cat-like qualities that he's developed over the years. Absolutely. I get my easily my most cartoon cat-like friend. I get my insane and my fucking cartoon level sneezes from my mom actually. She sneezed like she was putting on a show. Oh God. I've got certain friends. I've got certain friends. I'm not allowed to sneeze in front of because it's so loud and unpleasant. They're like, take that shit outside. Yeah. You know what the worst part is? I've never just. Shout out, Brian. Once. Like. Yeah, they come in waves, dog. No, I feel like the tower of snakes break down. My sneezes individually aren't so dramatic, but I always sneeze like three to seventy-five times and talk about yourselves. I need to blow my nose. I'll just be like, I'll just start see, I get, I sneeze when I walk in the sun and just walk in the sun. I'll just like sneeze like eight times in a row. I'll just be like Kennedy, are you okay because I'm just like, and by like the seventh one, you know, they're like, what the fuck's going on here? My, I'm cartoonishly pale. I have a son allergy. I feel like, oh, do you like do you burn poorly and like, no, no, I sneeze at the sun. Yeah. Do you know about this? No. Do you have a sinus reaction to solar energy? It's not an analogy for say, but it is like a reaction that some people have when you walk into. Uh-huh. Like the bright sun or the bright light after not doing it for a minute and I'll just like sneeze a whole bunch of times. I'm a pale ginger with natural red hair. So I am allergic to the sun, but just in the way that I get like 30 degree burns immediately. It's that I still remember the last time my dad said, I don't know, he'll be all right without sunscreen. And I was like six and I looked like I had leprosy like it was so bad. Welcome back to the show, folks. I am fighting the arch, fighting. You know, it's, it feels so ridiculous to fight off a sneeze. You know, yeah, I mean, it's, it's your body rejecting something so much it throws it from itself. Anyways, anyways, anyways, uh, if you give $10 a month, we say your name. So thank you to Zappax is that your Dracula 206 Jonesy Anders, Andrea home for you. Fuck like my dad. The man in the West terminally online left his Pablo hub is off to his crime. Old hobgoblin and the angels braid. Why not? I pay more for only fans. Josh. Troopid. AJ from Baltimore. Next goblin mode mega force base and CIA braid books, patreon.com slash worst weekend. Oh, fuck. Next time. Next time you're sick, send me the list of patrons. Honestly, the fact that you can't do this, if the, you don't have it down already, Kennedy, that's saying something about how high I am during every recording of this show. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. That tracks, you know, we cause his memory loss and one other problem. Mm. Snack loss. Munchies, folks. That's the level of comedy we're at right now. I'm dying. We have. Can we just skip to the end of the show? Oh, no, we can't because we have to talk about, for once there has been somewhat of an ex a, I don't want to say good, but a better development in the ongoing war. Or I would say genocide happening in Gaza. And that is that Israel got a bit of a bloody nose this week. Yeah. And, you know, again, I've said from the beginning, like no matter how terrible and awful that I don't, I don't want fucking just, I don't want anybody to be blown up on either side. That's not how I think anything should be solved. But the good news is, is that the good news is, is that Iran launched a barrage of missiles at Israel and instead of like, you know, leveling apartment complexes or blown up people on a tent, they just hit military targets and didn't even kill anybody. Yeah. Yeah. That's the word. I didn't even know you could do that. I mean, it wasn't to blow up people, not it wasn't for Israel's efforts. That was the, the reporting was weak about that was great because they were like, do you understand civilians could have been hurt? Those targets were in heavily populated areas and we're like, Oh, is that a problem now? Oh my God, like, I've said multiple times your target in the grocery store. I've said multiple times that it's like basically futile to point out hypocrisy, but John Michael, you're so right. The fact that they were like, but you could have hurt somebody, like shut the fuck up you freaks, the, the, there was heavy casualties during an invasion also this weekend and all the reporting was like is it brave Israeli soldiers killed by terrorists and I'm like, if you're in their country, you're the terrorist bro, they said they called the envy. They called the people defending an invasion terrorist. It's fucking crazy. It's so wild. Imagine Germans on TV and like, Oh no, these terrorists on the beach. That's a horrible German accent, but I'm going to lean into it. No, you've done the right thing. This is the Jewish correspondent of the show. I'm going to allow this as a Jewish, if you're going to be a bigot, be a bigot towards German accents. That's right. Or Italians. Either of those are fair game Italians are the most fun people to be a bigot towards. I've always said, you know, I kind of do like want to maybe visit Italy someday, but like I'm going to have the hardest time not just like looking at every street side and being like, Oh, pretty, pretty, like, here's the thing. You can get away with that there. They don't mind. They'll let you. You can, you can do whatever you, there's no laws in Italy. It's the purge. Look, I was getting, I was in fucking Venice and I was getting ready to go. I was staying at a hostel and I was getting ready to go out and get drunk at some fucking bar. I couldn't pronounce the name of and this, I think there's a British guy. He was like, Hey, just so you know, there's no age of consent in Italy. And I was like, Hey, man, why are you bringing this up? Like that's fucked up. So the, you know, Italy does have its problems, mainly the British. Um, yeah, what the fuck are we talking? Oh, yeah. So Israel, after attempting to invade Lebanon and getting the shit kicked out of them, they have like 300 casualties. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. They then resorted to, you know, they, they just started blowing up a bunch of fucking buildings in Beirut. I think last night as of this recording was the most dropped bombs that they've dropped. Uh, like the whole fucking skyline is just explosions and everything. It's, it's really terrible. Uh, at a certain point, you're cheating for a record if you get it every other week. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's ridiculous. I mean, like, but, uh, the one other development to come out of that's, that, uh, conflict is the fact that this week, Al Jazeera has started releasing, uh, some videos where they have over the last year, they have captured just like a metric ton of content that IDF soldiers have posted on social media of them doing fucking war crimes. And like the thing is, is that because, you know, because of what, because Israel's primary motivation is just complete total racism, deeming Palestinians is inhuman. They don't even think for a second about the fact that they are capturing themselves on video doing things that are illegal. Yeah. I, I don't, I don't think we ever appreciate it. And I would say I don't necessarily appreciate it. How much having TikTok during a war was going to add extra whimsy to war crimes. Yeah. People are like, you know what, before I would have just put on this blood cover dress. But now I'm doing it to the Benny Hill song. Did you see, uh, didn't you see friend of, I'm sorry, enemy of the show Brianna Wu this week tweeted that, uh, uh, uh, you know, when, when the KKK came to protest at college campuses, they were never violent, like free palace. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I always forget famous pacifists, the KKK. Yeah. Famously, famously never associated with any violence against any groups, the KKK. You know, it's really they're the model for how, uh, how people, obviously never having done violence to the Jews, the KKK. Yeah. Well, that was the day. Their thing was more night violence, not date protest violence, because that's, you know, that's the thing. I mean, people really didn't appreciate about the Klan is outside of the murderous terrorism. It was also the only outlet for festive racists. So like, you know, if you're just in there boiling with hate, the only time you've got to be in a parade is when you and your boys put on your sheet to go downtown. And if you had just embraced your love of crafting for non-evil purposes, progress would have become a lot faster. This is why a lot of dudes were in it for the outfits. This is why I've been saying more places should just be like New Orleans. Like in New Orleans, you can have a parade for no reason. Absolutely. Like, that's, that's the kind of outlet people are looking for. But no, you have to be like, Oh, parade the, the only way we're going to have a parade is a fifth to hate March. It's like, man, there's the only way we're going to have a parade. It is if we're commemorating the day that 5,000 people died in a pog ROM that we did. Right? Oh, say I want to be clear. I'm not saying that they're non-racist Klan members. I'm saying everyone back then was racist, but only some of them needed special outfits. Yeah. Yeah. Um, anyways, what the fuck I'm, I'm, you know, listeners and co-hosts and guests. I'm going to just apologize. I am fucking out of it right now. I keep saying like, what am I doing? And I'm like, oh, there's like literally a microphone in my hand. Look down at your notes. Remember, you're just going to treat this podcast. Like you're the main character in Memento from here on. Okay? I don't feel drunk. So, um, moving on in, oh, I don't know if I mentioned this that, uh, Al Jazeera has started posting these videos, naming the names of these IDF soldiers. So like, Oh, shit. What? Yeah. And they're ranked because again, these were just posted on their own social media of them doing things that you like of war crimes. So, uh, from what I understand, like this technically won't be prosecutable until the ICC comes to the conclusion of the case that they're working on about the war crimes in Israel, but should, should that verdict come back? Like, yeah, they're doing war crimes, like obviously, um, what will happen is that all of these soldiers, uh, all of these IDF soldiers who have been identified will then be eligible to be arrested the moment that they step foot into a country that recognizes the ICC's decision. So wow. Yeah. A lot of these IDF soldiers, uh, now we'll just be trapped in Israel or they'll free to America. America. Fair. I forgot. I forgot. Come on. You know, we're going to give, we're going to give cover to the devil. And, uh, when we say flee to America, I think it should be, uh, it should be noted that there aren't like a lot of people that live in Israel, just Americans that moved over there or something. Or like, oh, tons. Yeah. I don't know. I started that thought and then I'm like, am I doing an anti-Semitism? I will say, it's from there. It's a list there. That's it. That is a reasonable thing to say. Okay. So on the nose, after, uh, America gave sanctuary to Germans who committed war crimes. That, uh, we're also going to be a sanctuary for IDF soldiers who committed war crimes, not that they're actually creating any, uh, parallels anywhere at all of the murder and genocide. Ah, come on. It's the Kissinger rule. Well, how many deaths have you caused? All right. Get on in here anyways. We have to move on, uh, rest in pissinger, rest in pissinger, a friend of the show. Um, oh, this is fun. This week, a hurricane tore through the United States, a hurricane, Helene hit, uh, it, this was wild because like every time they're like, oh, there's a storm in the Gulf, it's going to strengthen, uh, you know, you usually watch and like sometimes they end up slowly building up and it's, you know, pretty bad by the time they kind of, you know, they were catastrophizing. This went from like a tropical storm to a category four and like a day just because of how hot the waters in the Gulf are like this became like very rapidly a huge problem. And then it just, I mean, it hit Florida, but then it kind of worked this way up into the interior of the country. And that's something that like, you know, you don't typically think of like rural, like Northern, Northwestern rural Georgia is being like in the path of a hurricane, um, but like between Georgia, South Carolina, uh, Tennessee and of course, North Carolina was hit the hardest. Like this storm like in Kentucky. Okay. Okay. Yeah. It's just not getting covered at all. Yeah. No, that is true. And I do want to, I want to emphasize Western North Carolina in some ways because I used to live there, but I don't want Kentucky and other places to get forgotten. Absolutely. I think it's like all important to talk about, like all of it is just wild that like places where people were like, well, there's like once in a century storm here, we're protected because we're in the mountains, like people are now learning how deeply global warming can just appear everywhere, you know, like our climate change at least can like impact things, no matter how deep into the country or and we've got like, like you were from Western North Carolina or Western Carolina, but I live there for about a decade of my life. Yeah. That's from anywhere you spend more than five years, you're from lots of places, you know, we've got friends in Asheville, like Andrew and I that like we love a lot and just like watching them try to piece everything together and just like have to, yeah, it's no one saw a lot of this shit coming and it's just it's a heartbreak, it's sad. And the terrifying thing now is like as the days stretch on, it's like, you know, initially there was a lot more hope for some of those missing persons numbers, but then after like a week or so, you those miss a lot of those missing persons are not going to turn up statistically. Yeah. Yeah. And that's just like, like right now that's still kind of currently being downplayed by the media, but it's like, dude, there's going to be thousands dead in Asheville when this is said and done and they're just pretending like it's oh, it's maybe 50 or so like trying to play it down. Oh, God, I didn't realize there were that that many missing persons fuck. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, like just entire town. I mean, we don't even know how many people are actually missing. That's the thing about a disaster like this, like there's missing persons that people still haven't even figured out are missing. And there's people who come into work every day who live like 30 miles away on like the opposite side of the mountain. Like it's there's just a bunch of elements of community that have to be pieced back together. Yeah. So there there is hope my friend who lives in common or lives in Nashville and books comedy says that she is still getting booking requests emails. Yeah. She see that. I want to shout out to Melissa. She's she's great. No matter how bad things get, it's important to remember the comedians are a parasitic ecosystem that will constantly show up and say, can I have something? The depravity knows no bounds. Yeah. Not every story is grim. There have been some nice stories about people coming together. There are resilient mountain folk out there that are capable of things that regular folks might not be capable of, like there's mule teams bringing people supplies. You wouldn't get that everywhere. There's some neat stories like that. There's also some stories about the police wasting a bunch of time guarding the built more and standing outside of grocery stores to make sure nobody steals a bottle of water. I think the thing that's like kind of hopeful and beautiful, like even in the face of these tragedies is like America has this real weird issue where, you know, everybody was like, I hate socialism. And then the minute a disaster happens, everybody in these countries or counties with the exception of some very intense militia guys tend to be like, I've got a well that's below the contaminated water line. I'm going to fill up water tanks and drive around and give them to families. I've got firewood. I've got like people really come together and it's been kind of beautiful looking at the stories coming out of a lot of these cities as people are just kind of like, all right, what do we have to do to survive? And some of that is just because of like the spirit of people in Appalachia who we've expected to be abandoned by the government and they're like, we have to make for our own. That's kind of what happens here. But also like it is cool to see how immediately people drop the a lot of the bullshit pretenses of capitalism and are like, no, we're here to take care of each other. And it's been really beautiful to see that in the face of all the bullshit this week. Definitely. Definitely. I did just want to take a moment though to talk about how the right wing has reacted to this storm, which, you know, suffice, we did has been insane. So I mean, Andrew, we did cause all the liberals did cause it using our space lasers. Well, the is that is that what Marjorie Taylor Green meant by calling it? They control the weathers. The liberals. Okay. I thought she was going for something else there, but that's. I don't think her story Taylor Green two weeks ago, she's calling out her colleagues for racism. Today. She's back on. Motherfucker. You can't stop her. The Marjorie. Give us in the Marjorie. Take it away. The thing about evangelical Christian hate is when they say day that tents gotten real big, you know, like your your traditional days and brackets. Every queer person, every blue haired guy who straight, like there's a big tent of hatred that they think that they is. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so there's been, you know, aside from just the people saying that like the Democrats did this or something like, you know, that's clearly and just insane. There's been something that I've seen and I know it's just because there's an election in a month or whatever, but like the amount of people who are saying that like the federal government is like purposefully abandoning people or that like Joe, Joe Biden is only doing or honestly, they're just saying that this is what Kamala is doing, which again, like, you know, we'll talk about the VP debate in a little bit, but like I get that you have to say Kamala is doing it because you're running against her now. But like Kamala is not making a single fucking decision at the policy in this country. That's not how it works. And you fucking know it's how it works. In fact, it's a weird concession on their part to something they shouldn't be conceding necessarily from like a politically savvy perspective. And obviously I don't care if the Republicans are making bad moves, but it's just kind of curious to see them concede that when it's like they should be saying like Kamala Harris has no real leadership experience being a vice president for five minutes doesn't mean shit. Like, like something, an attack along those lines would be a lot more effective. But instead now they're acting like, well, Kamala Harris is the president right now, which is like, that's making her seem more powerful and like better and cooler in some ways than she is, at least to like some groups of people. I mean, they did a really good job of convincing it's chunk of America that we were in a weekend at Bernie's situation with Biden. So I think that the comforting answer sometimes is that she's in control. They're like, what do you mean to tell me that guy's driving? I think it's interesting because like a lot of the comments about like, oh, we're not doing enough. It comes to the people like look at the response that we had with like FEMA and Katrina, which was also notoriously bad. But like the difference is New Orleans was one large space. It was larger if you liked as a space, but it wasn't like 5,000 different communities that are facing like destroyed roads and flooding and like that you have to fly things into. The organization to rebuild something like this is insane. Just the number of bridges that are lost. And I think another thing people don't realize is just that like, you know, I mean, it's still completely tragic and we need to respond and do things when this happens in more coastal areas. But also they are semi prepared for it. A lot of these areas, this is like the biggest flooding that they've had in a hundred years or more. Yeah. Yeah. That nobody's prepared for that whatsoever. And it came in the middle of the fucking night, which is just terrifying. And lastly, I did just want to touch on forgot to write this down, but there was a I believe in North Carolina. There's this this factory. It's a plastics manufacturing place, Tennessee, Tennessee, okay, where employees told their boss that like, Hey, there's like massive storms coming like, can we leave and the boss basically was like, you could go move your cars. They don't get flooded. But like, if you go home, you're fired and then six of his employees were killed. Yeah. He just released a 45 minute statement explaining how it's not his fault. Oh, yeah. No, I saw, I didn't know it was that long. I saw a clip of it, but he's, you know, going through and basically, I mean, I'm assuming that he didn't tell them not to leave in writing because he was just like, I never said that in like, if it is hearsay, you know, yeah, you can kind of do that. His argument was he was like, look, everyone had at least 45 minutes before the deadly storm search hit and hit the factory and I was the last one who left and I survived. So if you couldn't, you know, that's on you, but like everyone got at least almost an hour to get home in a rural area from flooded roads and destroyed like it was, it was even by the standards of Lex Luthor, rich people really fucking evil. Truly, truly a horrifying shit. Um, yeah, so it's, you know, the fact that this is just the way that our country operates is, you know, if you leave your fired, oh, you're dead. And you know, this guy, I mean, hopefully, this is the kind of person that I'm like, I am against the fact that we have prisons, but if we are going to have them, this should be like the number one candidate for being in a jail. So for the rest of his life, uh, you know, it's well, it's like I say all the time. Who do we let out of prison last? Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I'm all for prison abolition, but sometimes people bring up prison abolition in regards to like this guy. And I'm like, no, let's talk about like black people jailed for marijuana offenses. And let's let the state fucking arrest this guy if they can actually. Yeah. Um, or you know what, what about a little bit of cruel and unusual punishment? Have him be one of those, uh, what's that thing that they put in like, uh, like fairs and stuff? Like the dunk tank, make that guy have to do that for the rest of his life every single day. Oh man. So I don't believe in federally put together prisons, but I do think like locals could take the richest person once or twice a year and just like hit him in the balls with tennis rackets. I think, uh, I think street justice is sometimes the answer bring back stockades. Just like putting people you don't like in the stockade for a few hours and letting people throw tomatoes and shit at them. Oh my darn feathering. You know, I think that there's, uh, only I think you should only be able to do it to someone with more than $15 million, 10, five, three, $3 million, $3 million, $3 million also landing on three year, I think there should, I think there should be purge rules for anyone with $3 million who doesn't have a plan. Like, uh, like Francis Ford, copper, I needed to get $100 million to make my gopples on his own. All right. We'll let you build some money, but it's going to be in a controlled bank account. Anyone with more than $3 million in no plan, you should be able to like open like purge rules. Yeah. You've got, you've got the money to survive. I think here's, this is on expert mode. This is something I'm just coming up with now, but I'm, I'm liking a lot as this tumbling around in my brain. I think there should be no limits on how much money you should have. But if you have an obscene amount of wealth, you should be required, you should be mandated to every few years, blow it all on a big gamble, like making a ridiculous fucking magnum opus movie or something like that, like you should be, you shouldn't be allowed to hold on to it. You should have to play with it, you know, you know, sometimes you'll lose. Sometimes you'll win. You'll get more money. Who gives a fuck? Uh, you already have enough money to be God, but I, I haven't seen megalopolis yet. I can't fucking wait. Every review has been like sea song back from this is the best thing I've seen to the worst thing I've seen. And like, Oh, I can't wait. I can't fucking wait. Money art that completely divides an audience is going to be good plus like if it's if it's one and a little like 30 40 or 30 70 70 30, I don't know if it's going to be good, but if it's 50 50 across the board, I know it's great art. I'm about to lose some respect for some friends. Also, like I happen, I'm like, I was blessed with just like the dumb guy energy that like every movie I've ever seen as long as it's the last movie I've seen is the best movie I've ever seen. So like, I am like primed audience for a dumb fucking crazy spectacle. I can sometimes be a little contrarian pilled about media, but to be honest, I wanted to assume maybe there's some, maybe there's some magic to megalopolis that a lot of people are missing because I'm really into film and I don't know. I like stuff sometimes that other people don't like and every clip I've seen of megalopolis so far has felt like an AI generated prank, like every time I see a fucking clip from it, I'm like, this isn't real, right? This is an SNL sketch making fun of the movie. No, it's the actual fucking movie. So this is the that's the problem with the AI slop is like there are people who have been spending a decade of their life making their slop. And now because of the AI shit, their bad art, no longer is unique in standing out. Well, hey, while we're making this, sorry, there's a shot, there's apparently a shot from nine that was shot on 9/11 by Francis Ford Coppola that like is briefly in the movie, but like the best movie of the year, roll cameras will use the footage later. I haven't seen the movie yet, I've just told this, it's not true. It's a testament to how great the build to this film is. Good God, I can't fucking wait. Well, hey, while we're on the subject of terrible media, I want to just briefly talk about I heard that there is some metal festival. The bunch of the bands are dropping out of it's called shell shock festival. And so what happened is a bunch of the bands dropped out this week because they found out that the featured guest of shell shock fest was Kyle Rittenhouse. Let's open up this pit in the most terrifying way. Yeah, if Kyle Rittenhouse offers to open up the pit, you need to get the fuck out of there as fast as you can and start calling your loved ones. And it's interesting that a Florida hardcore fest literally brought in a crowd killer. Wow, wow, damn, yeah, they're current headliner for the fest now that so many bands have dropped out. I want to, I want to, I want to say, so the headliner of the festival was a band called Evergreen Terrace, which I've heard of them. I don't know them, but whatever and so Evergreen Terrace, they were like, we are not fucking doing this. We're not getting involved with Kyle Rittenhouse, like this is absurd. So then they were placed Evergreen Terrace with a slipknot cover band. Yeah. And I mean, again, like a bunch of bands dropped out. So it's not even like they could just pick the second or third best band. That band also has left the bill. And so yeah, a slipknot cover band is the headliners of this festival. Do you know how shitass your festival looks if a cover band is the headliner? I think the worst part is because it's a slipknot cover band. That means there are nine people who are okay performing with Kyle Rittenhouse. Yeah. Well, I think, you know, slipknot doesn't really need nine people. I think this cover band is like five people and they're just not. I'm a slipknot apologist. You're a slipknot apologist, if you're playing the songs right, you need every, you need all the guys. You need the dude pretending to be a DJ. You need the guy pretending to do the drum machines. You need a guy and a barrel. Okay. I mean, percussion wise, the barrel is really important. And it's a beer keg. You're not a slipknot apologist. You're a slipknot absolutist. You're a slipknot absolutist. Slipknot combines all of the things that I loved about Christian Scott and marching bands. They're an underrated musical product. They're one of the purest American bands, nine guys from a small town who all have agreed to pretend to be friends for 25 years for the name of a small business. If that's not America, I don't know what is fair enough. Okay. Let's actually it's five now because they've killed or lost a couple of them. But even that very America. Guys. Do it's okay. Even if they're still in the mass, who gives a fuck, dude? Um, okay. Let's talk about the vice presidential debate. I don't want to spend a lot of time on this. It's already old news and like here's the thing. I don't think really either way it's good means much, uh, but I do just want to say that like JD Vance is a slimy piece of shit, but he is good at debating dim waltz. Like, I think, you know, he's got a lot, he's got some issues, but you know, overall seems like a decent enough guy, whatever, um, but he's a terrible debater. Like this, this is like the last big event, at least big planned thing before the election. And like, I don't know if either you two watched it. JD Vance smoked him walls and here's the thing, I've seen a lot of people who are either like liberal or leftist and they're saying like it was a draw or like waltz one or whatever. He did not. He looked bad. He was stuttering, stumbling. He was like, obviously there were multiple times where he was just like, you know, doing some fucking bullshit answer that he had memorized or whatever that was just unnatural wasn't good. Um, I don't know, it's, they, they neutered him. Yeah. Like they, they hired 10 walls and they were like the first weekend everyone loved him. He was like, look at these guys. They're weird. I just want to build a kid's bike. Like he was, he was folksy and had like a positive popular leftist in a lot of ways point of view. And the Harris campaign, which is seems dedicated to just shooting all of the worst parts of 2016 in their arm every day was like, hey, don't do any of the shit that makes people like you. Yeah. So he, of course he lost. He wasn't himself. He was the Harris campaign's version of what he was supposed to be, which is warbondering for Israel and like not calling them weird and like not talking about social programs and being like, I also agree immigrants are the problem. Yeah. They were being the same. There were multiple times where he was like, well, I agree with JD Vance there. I think we have a lot of an agreement. It's like, dog, no, no, no, first of all, he's saying bad things. Third of all, he's also just lying. Yeah. I know I said second of all the second of all is fuck you don't agree. You don't have to agree. You don't have to hand it to pieces of shit. That said, I think that he lost from some perspectives, but also a nobody really gives a shit about the vice presidential debate. That's yeah. Yeah. That's why I spend a long time breaking it down and be I mean, JD Vance did have the most mean, worthy gaffes of the debate, like walls was was bad, but just in a boring way overall. I beg to differ. I beg to differ that there was now there was one gaff, which I think was the best line of the debate on either side, which came from Tim walls when he said, I've become friends with school shooters. I mean, who amongst the court hasn't become friends with school shooters? You know, we've all been there, come on, the, yeah, at that end, I'm sorry, I was told there would be no fact checking. Yeah. Ridiculous. Just fucking pathetic loser shit. That fucking like that alone, even though overall, I would agree with you in a lot of ways. I think that line alone and just how much it's been memed on, there's some ways JD Vance lost that debate because just like, like that is like so exemplary of like what people are getting sick of to some extent, and like especially like those critical undecided voters, some of them are really, really sick of this shit. Yeah. So he also refused to say that Donald Trump lost in 2020 and again, like, I know that all of that is bad. It's just that like JD Vance, you know, a lot of people politics doesn't, they're already fucking racist. So like all the crazy shit blaming everything on immigrants. That isn't actually a problem, but like JD Vance looked very polished and confident and like that's that's as deep as it gets for a large chunk of the electorate. And that's why I'm saying like, even though like the substance of what he said was appalling and lies and wrong, like he has had a reputation of being a weird freak. He came out on that stage and he looked like a very good politician. It like caught all context aside that like all this weird freak shit is shit that he said to other weird freaks. Yeah, or like just the cashier to donuts or yeah, or, you know, the occasional thing like that. But like for the most part in general, most of the stuff that people have dredged up that's really like the weirdest shit that he said is from podcasts where he's talking to like, you know, what's the, what's the equivalent of like Stalin's balls for 20 for the right, like, like Tucker Carlson. Yeah, Tucker Carlson's balls 88 probably. So he's on a podcast with some YouTuber with like 900 subscribers. It's just like a blatant Nazi. You know, that's where some of these clips have come from where JD Vance has said the craziest shit is like literally this kind of thing, you know, yeah. And so, you know, like, like, yeah, when he's like, when he's talking to a guy like that, and he just says crazy stuff back at them, right? But like he knows how to act normal and like people thought that like he wouldn't know how to act normal. And it's like, you know, he knows how to fucking act normal. How do you think he got elected? Yeah. Right. Yeah. That's I did see. It's interesting. Oh, sorry. I was just saying it's like it's interesting whenever he like hops in on a podcast because even when he's on something mainstream, he can't control himself. So he'll be like, he'll be normal for three fourths of it, but then he'll just say something like, I think, you know, single moms are the devil, but also women who work as waitresses and then just go home at the end of the night and have no children should be round up putting camps and bread. And you're like, wait, what the fuck did you just say? Like he is opinions are so like extreme, but he is so casual about the way that he talks dismissively about the humanity of normal people that like when, when wall says shit, like, oh, yeah, there's a lot of air between us and it's like, no, man, you can't give an inch anywhere with these people. Yeah. Yeah. That is extremely disheartening and stupid. So moving on to another extremely disheartening and stupid person Elon Musk, he he's had quite a week, you know, he's living, he's living his dream right now. Elon Musk joined Donald Trump to, I would say, completely embarrass the fuck out of himself at Trump's sec returned to Butler rally, Elon Musk did a little two inch jump in the air. Look, I don't understand how this man cannot jump more than an inch and a half off the ground. It is crazy. It looks like a PS two character jumping. I don't know why he keeps letting himself do this on camera. Here's thing. Elon Musk is a fascist. He's a piece of shit, but he does want to be liked. He does not want to be made fun of. It is crazy that he keeps getting, letting himself look so stupid on camera. It's good. It's mind boggling. He's just a mega dork. He's not capable of anything else. Oh, like the jump is so bad. So Elon Musk's mom told people that they should vote multiple times. She's like, register in 10 different precincts and vote 10 times. If we each vote 10 times each, that's how we'll compete. That's what the Democrats are doing. This isn't even a crime. It's like good. I'm all in favor of her committing massive acts of election fraud. I feel like we need as much right wing election fraud as humanly possible. This time, because the last time they did it massively and were caught constantly, and it still wasn't enough for them to stop being like, look, if we're doing it, you guys are doing it. We need to, I need more grandmas in jail. So I'm just actually having a thought right now. Oh, no, that's dangerous. I'm on team jail, grandma. This is a good one, I think. So Kennedy and I and our other co-host, we've been saying for a while now that like, at least like the last six months or so, that like, I know Elon Musk is a very rich, very powerful person, but like, he's just blatantly fucks everything up so much. Like, someday it is going to catch up with him. He was going to get brought down. And so, I've been thinking about this. I think that's why he's pushing for Trump. Well, that's it literally just clicked to my head. The reason why he's throwing it all in behind Trump is like, maybe this motherfucker knows he's about to go down. And he's like, I just need to fucking get a pardon. So I'm going to throw my whole thing. But I never thought about that angle because like, it is, it is. Yeah. Yeah. Here's, okay, here's, here's the insane thing to me is like, okay, let's assume for a moment that Elon Musk is as annoying as we see him to be. And that means that somehow he never actually got to party with Epstein, because even that guy was like, I can't fucking handle this, dude. Oh, and that bothers him so much that we're, that we're always like, oh, that photo of Elon and, you know, yeah, because he never closed the deal. God damn it. I wanted to go to the fucking pedal island and they let me. But now with the, the arrest of puffed daddy, someone who is also a needy dork, who was a different kind of CIA asset, most likely, I think there is a visual proof of Elon doing something stupid. And he's like, all right, before after puffed daddy was arrested, Musk was like, I will campaign with Trump instead of just fighting to make sure that Twitter is entirely Trump ads. Yeah. Interesting. He finally found the one person who would let him hang out. I also did see that this week, the Wall Street Journal revealed that Elon Musk has been giving like tens of millions of dollars to Republican groups for like the last few years. Like even before Trump was running again, like in 2022, he gave like 50 million dollars to Stephen Miller's pack that was like, I don't, I don't even remember the party for saying something. Blood and soil. Blood and soil. Let's call it that. So I don't know. It's just, it's fuck this guy. Speaking of fuck this guy, Donald Trump, the other man on that stage, his, this week Donald Trump's indictment was unsealed. You know, the one about him trying to steal the election. Uh, well, it turns out he tried to steal the election. This is the first time hearing of this because I was born yesterday. And also in the one day I've been alive, I haven't learned anything. Yeah. You wasted that first day. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, I just, I just like, I was like, yo, what's this thing you call cannabis? Yeah. Yeah. That was literally your first mistake. So yeah. Words. Awesome. weed. Uh, yeah. So I don't know, Donald Trump. He did crimes. Uh, I don't know. This is, here's the thing. There's like nothing here that we haven't already fucking known for Joe Biden should have fucking prosecuted Donald Trump on January 21st of 2021. Like the fact that he did treason on live TV. This should, he should not be in this election right now. He should be in jail and this is this shouldn't even be fucking happening. Joe Biden was like, well, in the spirit of bipartisanship, we're going to, you know, we're going to look forward and start a backward. It's like, no, dog, this did this dude did a treason and he's going to do it again. It should be Kamala Harris versus Nikki Haley right now. Oh. Oh. Hey. Yeah. The redacted, the redacted report that came out as horrifying is, is for democracy had one of the great moments of unintentional comedy with government redacting where it talks about how Trump harassed the governor of Georgia for like, from like November through January by talking tweeting like 40 times about how he was like helping steal the election. And the way it's redacted is the governor of Georgia and then it just blanks out Brian Kemp's name. It says governor of Georgia blank, like 30 times and it's incredible. There is also there's a, we knew that guy was, I thought you were going to be talking about this. There's a second piece of unintentional comedy in this, in this reporter, whatever, in this indictment that is potentially one of my favorite things ever. So it's a text from Rudy Giuliani, where he is talking about, he's talking to somebody in Michigan about how they like their plan to have the legislature push to dispute the charge or the election results so that they are able to like, you know, with the time it takes to dispute it, they're able to go back and do all this blah, blah, blah. And here's the thing is that Rudy Giuliani, uh, texted that to the wrong number. Wow, Doug. Rudy Giuliani just texted like detailed intricate election stealing results to the wrong number. Fucking incredible. It's just amazing how bad Rudy Giuliani has turned out to be at stuff. Yeah, to go for being the mayor of New York to being like, completely incapable of being corrupt, that's crazy. I don't know if he's leaving the mayor of New York, does that to you? No, no, no, no, that he was like, you should be better at doing corruption if you were the mayor of New York. That's what I'm trying to say. Like you should be a pro at corruption, but no, you know, I'm actually starting to think it's like a fail upwards thing to become the mayor of New York based on what we're seeing. You know, fair enough, fair enough. Yeah, Eric Adams, he's definitely, he's definitely not going pro after the corruption. He's been pulling off. Um, let's see. We got a couple more things, uh, this is, I mean, there's not a lot to the story, but it is just another chapter of how whore fucking horrifying the future is and will be. Uh, so apparently Uber doesn't let you sue them. If you get seriously injured in, in Uber, uh, a story came out this week that a New Jersey couple received life altering injuries after getting into an accident in the back seat of an Uber and they, uh, this was in February of 2023 and this has gotten like back and forth since then. Apparently, they filed this lawsuit to be like, Hey, like, we will never be the same function in human beings again. Can we please have some like financial compensation since this happened on your watch and apparently Uber in their terms and services says you're not allowed to sue us. If you get hurt, you know, it goes, that's part of this, sorry, they didn't even sign, they didn't even sign the terms and services themselves. Yeah. They're, their daughter did. Who is a minor? The daughter ordered a pizza using Uber Eats and that grandfather, the entire family into not being able to sue Uber without doing arbitration. Yeah. And I don't know exactly what arbitration, like how the ins and outs of how arbitration works, but basically like this takes it out of a public courtroom where, you know, at the very least there is like the, uh, the facade of possibility of justice and it puts it into a fucking backroom with somebody that, you know, who the fuck, where the fuck do you come from? They're like, it doesn't, it's like a party, but it's hired by Uber, right? Right. Yeah. The big issue with arbitration is that it's like, unless you are also rich, like, you know, like court cases are already skewed towards the rich, but there is a chance that, uh, uh, you know, like the underdog can win in a court case sometimes when we see it happen. Um, but when things go into arbitration, it's like, if you are not also as rich as the person you're going after and you're in arbitration, you're basically fucked like they can just use money to fucking bury it from there. Yeah. Yeah. Um, horrifying. And the, the most fucked up part is that corporations like this, they don't want to set a precedent of paying for things like this. And so they'll pay more and legal fees than it would take to just like do something right by these people just so that no precedent gets set that, oh, we pay for stuff like that. Yeah. And like this is going to, I assume that this is going to happen more and more frequently as we see, like there are terms and conditions for fucking everything you do through your phone now that like to the point that like there was a joke on South Park 15 years ago about how nobody reads the terms and conditions, but like nobody does. And I mean, I guess technically it would be impossible to yeah, like if you ever understand them at least, no, I mean, even just to like to actually read every word for every time you're asked to sign terms and conditions every year. No one has the time to read that many books. Yeah, it's, and it's just like if we put paragraphs and paragraphs of words, we can find ways to fuck people over in the future is basically what it boils down to. Um, and that fucking sucks and I don't know, I hate, I hate this. I don't really have much to say about it, but I feel like this is going to happen more and more like we saw it a couple of months or so go with the Disney family happened more and more or we're going to have to like as a society put our foot down and have some kind of big ruling about this because like, and of course, is the latter going to happen? Who the fuck knows? But I'm just saying like, these are our options basically like either this is going to keep happening or we're going to have to like do something where we say like these long ass terms and conditions have to end permanently. I mean, this is what regulation is supposed to be. I mean, like it's one of those things that just drives me insane because like, well, we, how are we going to solve it? Easy. We set, we set terms and conditions. We have government regulation that limits how our information is used. We have government regulations about what we can and cannot be forced to sign our shit away without like actually having a lawyer consulted, like it would just require Democrats at any point in any level of the government to say enough of this bullshit and put an end to it. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, so, you know, maybe the, maybe the Democrats will say enough of this bullshit. I don't know. Maybe not. Never. Never. I don't have high, high hopes for that. Oh, remember high, high hopes? Pete Buttigieg. Gosh, whatever happened to him. Anyways, our choices are old Republicans are new Republicans now. Yeah. Uh, so again, you know, something to keep an eye out for just the ever growing list of ways in which we have no fucking power. And the Democrats that are supposed to be on our side, just sit back and let this happen while they collect the fucking contributions from these evil corporations. Fun stuff. I want to end with a good news story. This, I think this might be one of our best stories that we've had on the show. Fuck yeah. So this week, the government of the United Kingdom announced that they are officially handing over control of the Chagos Islands that are in the Indian Ocean, uh, back to Mauritius. Mar, Mauritius. I don't know exactly how to say that, um, but they are relinquishing control of these islands. Um, and so what this means is that for the first time in over 200 years, the sun, the sun will set on the British empire. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. God. They don't get to say that anymore. Fucking nerds. Yeah. Fuck the British. So the article that I saw, the headline was for the first time in 200 years, the sun was set on the British empire and the quote tweet of it was just somebody said the word washed. No, no, it's incredible. That made me so happy. Um, yeah. So, uh, Britt, Britton, you, you've done, you've done fucked up might fish chips in it. Oh man. Just an incredible centuries long record of unjustified supremacy. Yeah. Hell yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah. So that is the news for the week. I, you know, do you remember whenever I started sneezing and couldn't stop? I, whoa, this has been rough, but I am glad we got through it. Um, we survived somehow John Michael Bond. Thank you for coming on the show. It's so good to finally have you on, uh, thank you so much for having me guys. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Why don't you just remind the folks again, where the fuck defined you? Uh, you can find me on, uh, Twitter at Bon John Bond or on Instagram at John Michaels mistakes. Uh, my record goes on pre-order on a Monday, October 7th. If you pre-order it on iTunes or Amazon or one of those places and you shoot me a DM on a Twitter or Instagram and show me proof that you ordered it, I will, uh, mail you some photographs from the tour. Uh, I'm mostly just excited to like get people out there and, uh, want to show people the pictures that I took. Hell yeah. So, Andrew, order of it and I will send you that photo. Everybody give John Michael Bond your home address. Um, anyways, uh, that's, it's, it's, it's a really fucking fun album. You guys are going to love it. Um, Kennedy, do, do you, or of us have anything, uh, you have a cold. I have a cold. Oh, also I do have something. Don't share that though. One week from today, I will be in Toronto, which I think is allegedly in Canada performing on the punks can't laugh fest, uh, with some friends, some bands and a bunch of people, I don't know. I will be having the time of my life in Toronto. And then two weeks after that, me and John Michael Bond will be down in fucking Florida at fest. Hell yeah. Um, one of the best, one of the best things you could do in Florida is head on down to Gainesville and, uh, I would say by tickets, but they've been sold out for months. Uh, but if you're happy to be going to fest, come say hi. Oh yeah, oh, and I also just, uh, just, yeah, I think I'm involved in a new podcast that just started. I don't even fucking know. I have more details about that, but it's called the crumbling and, uh, we'll figure it out eventually. I don't fucking know. Um, yeah. So lots of, lots of plugs this week. Holy shit. Holy shit. But that's all of them. So tune in again next week for more bad news. [music] [BLANK_AUDIO]
