Stoner Babble
Join JJ and Burke as they fire off aggressively opinionated takes on the world while absolutely elevated. No topic is safe from Burke’s gloriously abrasive attitude, and the real game is watching JJ attempt—often unsuccessfully—to finish a single thought before drifting into the void. It’s loud, it’s reckless, it’s probably a bad idea. Find them on Twitter @babblestoner, hit subscribe so you don’t miss new episodes, and leave a review if your brain survives the experience.

If Twelve Vultures Can Lift A Canoe, I’m Running For Governor
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Two friends sprint from a Harambe tattoo to building a no-tax ghost town, stopping to argue about deer cults, rainforest ethics, and whether vultures can lift a canoe. We laugh at chaos, question human cruelty, and end with rules for four-way stops and basic hygiene.
• nostalgia versus instant access for kids
• imagined animal control and deer leadership
• do animals commit domestic violence
• Olympics hot takes and ethical lines
• rainforest discovery versus conservation trade-offs
• goat “regenerative rainforestry” and vulture math
• big game hunting ethics and Cape buffalo
• snack spirals, candy wrappers, and brain rot slang
• Florida iguanas and exotic meat jokes
• robot slurs, plants, and quicksand memories
• no-tax ghost town with a dog police chief
• therapy detours and hygiene rules of life
• four-way stop etiquette and roundabouts

Cold Open: Lighters And Harambe
SPEAKER_02Did you did you did you did you hit the button to record the show? Did you hit the fucking button? I didn't capture that. Oh hello. Did you capture these nuts? Whoa! Right off the bat. Give me that fucking old man lighter. Would you? I need to light up this weed again. JJ's got a fucking lighter with John Wayne on one side and a tree on the other, and it says never forget. I don't know what that means.
SPEAKER_03You know there's always one moment that you never forget, and that's what it's about.
SPEAKER_02It's funny you say never forget because I said that to my wife earlier. So you know I got that stupid tattoo on my leg, right? Which one? Every day I'm hustling in Arabic. I'm getting a Harambi tattoo. I'm covering up the stupid tattoo on my leg with a tribute to Harambi that says never forget. And I told her, we'll never let our son forget that day.
SPEAKER_03Have you talked to your son about that day?
SPEAKER_02Not yet. He won't understand. You gotta start young. I know. I know. You know, I was thinking the other day. There's a lot of things that I did as a kid that my son will never get to experience. He'll never understand what it was like to beat your dick to a weird magazine that your mom got in the mail. Because he'll just always have instant boobies on his phone or his tabloot. He'll never know what it's like to beat your dick to the chubby lady in the Sears catalog because that's all you had. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_03I mean, what happens when you go somewhere where there's no internet though? That where is that? A fucking cave? He could be taking an He could take a trip to caves.
SPEAKER_02No, we're not going on no cave trips. You can relate, right? You lived a period of your life without internet, didn't you?
SPEAKER_03No, never. Fuck you, dude. Let's talk about this hamburger tattoo, though. Hamburger? Yeah, I think you're hard by you should be eating a hamburger.
SPEAKER_02No. Why not? No, it's gonna be tastefully done. That's satirical. No.
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_02There's nothing tasteful about this. You don't under how do you not know that? Not know what? This is very this is a tribute to one of the best gorillas in the world ever. How about that? You didn't know them. I know all the animals. I got a connection that you just wouldn't understand, dude. I feel like I could control more animals than I could people. After this podcast, let's go walk out there and let's go find a deer, dude. You're gonna go find a deer and try to talk to it. I don't need to talk to it. All right, you just gotta look at it, right?
SPEAKER_03I talk to a third. Yeah, yeah. You just look at it and just be like, come hither.
SPEAKER_02I'll tell it to sit down.
SPEAKER_03I bet it does it.
SPEAKER_02It does. It would do it. Would that make you a believer in my animal abilities?
SPEAKER_03I would make it a little bit. I don't want to have to agree, but I would. I don't want to do it though. Sometimes in life we gotta do things that we don't like to do. Yeah, sleeping is believing. I might want you to do it more than once then. Done. Yeah, I had to make a whole field of deer sit down.
SPEAKER_02What if you just woke up one morning and I was standing in your driveway in my underwear, but I had like a hundred deer around? Would that make you a believer?
SPEAKER_03It'd make me think a lot of things.
SPEAKER_02This is my personal help. That'd be kind of a creepy way to wake up, wouldn't it? Just me in the driveway and my underwear, just surrounded by a hundred deer, all of them snorting too, like angrily.
SPEAKER_03They're just stomping. And you're just like blank staring. You're not the you're not even there. Controlling a hundred deeds.
Kids, Internet, And Awkward Nostalgia
SPEAKER_02You're like, Berg, what are you doing? And I'm like just fucking staring straight ahead on this. You just walk off. I start snorting like the deer, too. Yeah. And then yeah, and then we walk off. No words. Yeah. Would that make you a believer?
SPEAKER_03It make him I make him wonder.
SPEAKER_02That's a fucking nightmare.
SPEAKER_03Like, where's where's God in this situation?
SPEAKER_02Take note, everyone. You fuck with me, I'm showing up with a hundred deer, dude, in my underwear. We ain't saying nothing. You don't want to get trampled by a hundred deer. That ain't no way to go out. Because deer are the animal I despise the most. But maybe they just need a leader. Come tell me to understand it. I'm a leader of the deer people. That's a way to start a show right there. I'm now the leader of the deer people. Fuck you. You're scared now, dude. Look at you. You don't even know what to say.
SPEAKER_03I'm intimidated.
SPEAKER_02You don't even know what to say.
SPEAKER_03That definitely proves one point though.
SPEAKER_02What's that?
SPEAKER_03That domestic violence in animals is a real thing. You asked that question to me the other day.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Why didn't you uh highlight yourself out of the key points like fucked arguments?
SPEAKER_02It wasn't an argument. I was just like, I was just thinking like, because we're animals and we do domestic violence. Not us, people in general do. And then I was sitting in my basement on the couch, and I have a big window and I could see the trees, and I was watching these squirrels fight. But I don't know if they were fighting or if they were playing, and I was just like, I wonder if a boy squirrel ever beats up a girl squirrel. Or do they always just fight the other guy squirrels and they're nice to the lady squirrel? I don't trust them at all.
SPEAKER_03They're just plotting.
SPEAKER_02Because I don't think I've ever seen, like, I watch a lot of gorilla videos, not because I like harambi, but because I like gorillas. I can't ever recall like a big male gorilla beating the shit out of a lady gorilla, but it beat the shit out of another gri guy gorilla. So if no other animal does domestic violence, does that make us the worst animal? Oh, absolutely. I think such a given though. I mean, yeah, I kind of already knew the answer to that, but what's it called when you gotta get your those your papers certified? Notarized? Yeah, nothing. Memorized. Yeah, just notarized it right there.
SPEAKER_03You're the worst person ever.
SPEAKER_02Not me. Fuck you, bitch. You better smoke him.
SPEAKER_03What are you doing?
SPEAKER_02I just watched JJ grab for the mouse of his computer like he had fucking Parkinson's disease.
SPEAKER_03A little shaky right now. Okay.
SPEAKER_02Well, you need to smoke some more. I'm working on it. He's got fucking three half-lit joints over there. That one's gone. Don't you even try to light that, dude. That's gone. You got two full-size joints right there, and you're gonna try to burn your burn your fingers off. Jesus. You can't even light it. Put it down. Light the lighty lunar. Hey, you watch any of the Olympics?
SPEAKER_03No, I don't I don't believe in watching the Olympics. Just for myself, though. I don't believe it.
SPEAKER_02Winter, summer, you don't like any of it?
SPEAKER_03I'm just a no-go on the Olympic front.
SPEAKER_02So I've been watching some of it. Like some of it I find entertaining. I like the bobsled and the luge and the skeleton. I like those. And I don't mind the snowboarding, but I'm gonna say something controversial. It'd be way more fun to watch if they all had Down syndrome. Oh god.
SPEAKER_03I knew it.
Animal Control Superpowers And Deer Cults
SPEAKER_02I don't know why, dude. It's just one of those bad thoughts that I had where I'm like, could you imagine a big Down syndrome kid with a John Cena t-shirt on a luge? See, you're smiling. You don't want to laugh. I know. I get it, dude. I'm saying what everyone is thinking, though. It'd be way more entertaining. Even if he falls off, he's still gonna have a good time. And then it led me to think, how many gold medals do you think you could win at the Special Olympics? No training. Like you just walk out there tomorrow. Do you think you could win any gold medals? Ah, Burk, yes, of course I would win multitudes of them. See, that's what I thought too. My wife said, No way. She was like, even though they may have a disability, they're trained. It's just one of those things I think about sometimes. What else are you doing? What are you doing over there?
SPEAKER_03Are you broken? I broke a little bit. I'm broken. Trying to think of a way. A way what? A way to bring it home. Bring it back.
SPEAKER_02There is no way.
SPEAKER_03I know. It's just stuck out in orbit like I usually am. Just fuck floating there, trying to fucking find a way to make it. Seemed unprovoked way back home. I usually can't though.
SPEAKER_02Mm-mm. Would you sacrifice a thousand acres of rainforest just to see if there's like a city under there?
SPEAKER_03Just to see if there's one?
SPEAKER_02Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03Without the idea that there's maybe nothing there? I mean, I need a little bit of evidence.
SPEAKER_02Well, because I watched a video the day, like there's so much of it that's unexplored, and many people have gone in there and not come back out. Recently they did that LIDAR scan, and it looked like there was roads and like towers and pyramids. Like, would it be worth sacrificing a thousand acres to see?
SPEAKER_03Hell no. No, I'm gonna say no.
SPEAKER_02No?
SPEAKER_03No, no, you already sacrificed enough.
SPEAKER_02But what if all what if the answers are under there?
SPEAKER_03There's always answers somewhere. You guys just gotta find them. There's answers to everything. Oh my god, it's in the this rainforest. I gotta dig up. I can't wait. Maybe there's just a building down there with a giant calendar that's gonna tell you something. Yeah. What if we just send the goats in there? Send the goats? Clean up the forest. Eat it. Eat it. Yeah. Let's start that business and then we can farm them down there. Ship them down there.
SPEAKER_02That's gonna be our future rainforest goats.
SPEAKER_03We got some hungry goats, and you guys got some clearing that needs to be done, and we're not destroying the environment. We're just letting them go at it.
SPEAKER_02And then they will poo-poo, and then more stuff will go. And then farmland.
SPEAKER_03You got the farmland there. It's called Regenerative Rainforestry. Say that. Regenerative rainforestry. All right. I can do it. I feel like you need to add one more R in there though. So it needs to be triple R.
SPEAKER_02Reconnaissance.
SPEAKER_03So what is it?
SPEAKER_02What was it? Regenerative, regenerative rainforestry. Reconnaissance. What if we found a ship in there?
SPEAKER_03You found a ship. How are you gonna get the ship out of there with your goats? We had to get some horses. Oh, now we gotta expand it. Yeah, drag it out. With horses. I don't know why. Why can't you airlift it?
SPEAKER_02You know, we could just use machinery. Probably be way faster.
SPEAKER_03No, we need to keep it like if we airlift it, it needs to be with birds.
SPEAKER_02Because we gotta do everything by animals. How many birds would it take to lift a ship? Large vultures. Ask J Braham.
SPEAKER_03Oh how many give me a second? Let me get in here. Burke wants to know how many vultures would it take to pick up a ship?
SPEAKER_01Ah, gotcha. Okay, so if we're being ridiculous here, it kind of depends on the size. But I guess like at least a dozen vultures before they can even get it off the ground.
SPEAKER_03I mean, a dozen vultures, you think it's even possible though, Jay? I mean, that seems like a low number, man, motherfucker.
SPEAKER_01Fair point. Yeah, honestly, if we're talking serious scale, it might take a lot more, like maybe a whole flock. We might need to look up some actual vulture stats.
SPEAKER_02We stomped the AR. He don't even know. Twelve he said 12 vultures.
SPEAKER_0312 vultures, yeah. To pick up a ship? Yeah. It just depends on the ship size. I mean, he if he was thinking you didn't really like dictate if it's a big or small ship. Like if you think a rowboat, I think 12 vultures could do a small boat.
SPEAKER_02You think 12 vultures could all right. Let's how many vultures to pick up a canoe? Small ships. Sounds like our chatbot needs to be fired because he's dumb as shit. Ask him how many vultures would it take to pick up a canoe? If he can't answer that, he's fired.
SPEAKER_03Hey, uh, Jabraham, how many vultures would it take to pick up a canoe? And you gotta be specific.
SPEAKER_01So a typical canoe might weigh around 70 pounds. Now a vulture can carry roughly one to two pounds, maybe a bit more if it's a big one. So you're talking like at least 35 to 40 vultures, and that's a stretch. So yeah, it's a whole damn slot.
SPEAKER_03See, now he's getting somewhere. He fucking told you it was up. He answered your call and then boom. So there we go. 40 vultures to pick up a canoe. Oh, thank you, Jabram. So now we know the answers. Vultures are weak as shit, dude. You know who's not weak? Cape Buffalo. You know how scary a Cape Buffalo is? A who? Cape Buffalo. A cave? African Cape Buffalo. Cape. It's a Cape Buffalo.
SPEAKER_02That's the muscular one, right?
SPEAKER_03It's the one with big horns out the side and big muscular and it terrifies people.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. What's it do? It just kills people. What's it here for? What's its purpose?
SPEAKER_03To be a buffalo. Why don't we just kill it? We do kill it. Sometimes that's what this article is about. Texas big game hunter killed while trying to hunt this buffalo down. The buffalo killed him? Yeah.
SPEAKER_02How do you have a gun and get killed by a buffalo? It's uh You're the worst hunter ever. What a yummy.
SPEAKER_03I no no remorse for uh big game hunters, I'll be honest. Uh go hunting for stuff that can kill you and you get killed, and no remorse.
SPEAKER_02Congratulations. Yeah. You played the game.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. You won. You lost, but you won.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03You want to play the game. So I have a real dislike. Not for hunters in general, just animals that you don't need to hunt.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, if you're not gonna eat it, you shouldn't hunt it.
SPEAKER_03If you have to spend$10,000 to hunt it, I feel like that's stupid.
SPEAKER_02Stupid.
SPEAKER_03You're stupid.
SPEAKER_02I can think of at least$5,000 other things I would do with$10,000 before killing an animal with it came on my radar. Is there any animal that you would kill?
SPEAKER_03Uh if it hurt my family, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Calm down, Liam Neeson. Look, if it showed up. But you just don't have a hatred for an animal that you're just like, man, fuck that animal. I'd shoot it. No, bro. No, they're all cool in my book. Maybe snake. Like if you paid me$10,000 to kill a big snake, I'd probably get behind that. Because fuck snakes. Or a big spider.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah. Get the flame torch.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Until the flame torch gets you. What? It's it's animated. What? It's like a gun that you hold, but it talks to you, but it's animated. The flame torch. Has its own personality.
SPEAKER_02Dude, what are you fucking? What did you smoke? I don't think we smoke the same thing.
SPEAKER_03So anyway, we don't like big game hunters.
SPEAKER_02So yeah, good job, Buffalo.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Should I get that a picture tattooed on my body of that buffalo?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. I call you Big Buffalo too.
SPEAKER_03I'm sure people would get behind that. Certain people.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Not everyone. Not everyone. What kind of cereal are you eating these days? Oh, nice. Protein Cheerios. Jesus fucking Christ.
SPEAKER_03It just comes in big boxes at Sam's Club. I mean, you just go with it. Sometimes cinnamon toast crunch. I tell you what.
SPEAKER_02If you're feeling froggy, tell you what, I'm on right now. There's two snacks that I can't get enough of, JJ. Apple jacks and bugles. You're a bugle guy. You put them on your fingers like a bugle man? They don't make them that big anymore.
SPEAKER_03No, don't tell me that.
SPEAKER_02Nacho cheese bugles. I got a bag of day habit right now.
SPEAKER_03That's not good.
SPEAKER_02I know it's not good, but a lot of sodium there.
unknownListen.
SPEAKER_03So your agent asked if you consume any fucking restricted veins. How about you get with it?
SPEAKER_02I can't dude. I don't know why. When I open the bag, I can't stop. When's the last time you had some bugles?
SPEAKER_03It's been about a decade.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, same for me. And then 60 days ago, I broke the fucking seal. And now, like, the thought of eating another potato chip disgusts me. All I want is bugles. Trying to dig deep in the memory vault for things that I did as a kid to share with my kid. I remembered bugles.
Weed, Wobble, And Olympic Hot Takes
SPEAKER_03Dude, you're getting too nostalgic for this. You got reeled back in. You're getting lost in your stuff. I'm just saying, I started seeing stuff through rose-colored glasses.
SPEAKER_02I saw I thought of bugles, and I'm like, I haven't had bugles in ages. Wow. But then I'm like, I want some old school candy. You can't get it anymore.
SPEAKER_03It doesn't exist. Remember Boston Baked Beans? What? No. We're talking about candy. These are candy. Boston baked beans. From where? I don't know. I mean, I They came in a box. Oh.
SPEAKER_02They were called Boston Baked Beans.
SPEAKER_03I've never had a box of beans before.
SPEAKER_02Hmm. Remember those cinnamon red hot chewies?
SPEAKER_03I do remember those though.
SPEAKER_02Fan of those. And I just, there's a lot of candies now that I think about eating, but I won't, like Starburst. Why not? That's a tragic. If the candy. If I gotta open the bag and then open a wrapper, I ain't doing that anymore. I want my candy easily accessible. What's with all the wrappers? Just put them in a fucking bag.
SPEAKER_03It's a quality control issue.
SPEAKER_02No, put it in a bag. Knock a quarter off the price. I don't need all the wrappings. That's why I like Skittles, but I'm over Skittles right now. Oh, now you're over Skittles.
SPEAKER_03Where are all these changes coming from?
SPEAKER_02I don't know.
SPEAKER_03You had a kid and all of a sudden. I'm a bugles guy. I like these. I hate these. You're a different person. You're telling me. Yeah, no, you switch bodies. You're telling me. Goddamn alien. Fucking knew it. Fucking knew everything shifted. It shifted about a week ago. Fucking about a week ago. Week ago. And uh here's a shift in my reality is when a well-established platform like Oxford Dictionary accepts new words of the year like this. In the dictionary. Into the dictionary, yeah. As of 2025. No cap? It's called Brain Rot. Welcome to what our show is. And I'm just uh I'm thinking about low quality of the content. I mean, our our quality is high content. I can't I can't tell you what it's high quality. So what do you think about high content, high quality, brain rot? I mean, sure. That's yeah. Would that look like to you? What do you mean? You have to accept it, okay. Aren't we doing it? Kind of, but wouldn't that mean I've accepted it? I don't know. I need you to expand upon it though.
SPEAKER_02How can you expand upon something that you're already doing? Exactly. Isn't that always the question? Maybe you don't. Maybe it can't be done, and you're searching for something that ain't there.
SPEAKER_03How long are you gonna search for?
SPEAKER_02Till you die? Oh, goddamn. And then your ghost keeps searching. What's the words in the dictionary going? Was it? You said new words is going. The brain rot was the words. Oh, so they added a phrase?
SPEAKER_03You made it sound like there's a bunch of rage bait has been named by Oxford University Press as this words of the year. That's another word I've heard way too much.
SPEAKER_02But you use it all the time. I don't. I might rage bait you, but I don't use the phrase.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you're rage baiting gaslighter.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, ain't nothing wrong with that. You can accept that. Isn't that the whole point of the show?
SPEAKER_03To rage bait and gaslight each other? Yeah, we yeah. I mean, I thought that's what we did for years. Oh, I guess I'm just realizing what's happening. What reality were you living in? I like I said, a different one.
SPEAKER_02Obviously, now I'm in a different one.
SPEAKER_03Now you are we crossing channels? How the turn tables did you know about uh the artillery shell up a guy's ass?
SPEAKER_02An artillery shell up a guy's ass.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so uh according to this news article from the New York Post, hospital evacuated after an eight-inch WWI artillery shell discovered in a patient's butt.
SPEAKER_02You mean World War I? WWI! I've never heard anyone call World War I WWI! Oh god. Would that be the Wa Wee war?
SPEAKER_03Hey J. Braham, what do you think of the WWI war?
SPEAKER_01Exactly. Yeah, it sounds absurd, but when you break it down like that, it really puts the skate in perspective. So yeah, it'd be a serious squad of vultures.
SPEAKER_02What the fuck is he talking about? He's still talking about vultures. He ain't even listening.
SPEAKER_03Damn it, Jay for Hampshire. Michelle's Michelle's in buttholes. The guy just walked in. He was feeling some pain. If you take a pic and they have a picture of it, it's against the it's eight inches. Why did he put it up there? And it was it turned out it wasn't live, but you know, they had to have they had to clear out the hospital. They didn't go into execs. Pretty sure it's probably a sexual uh favor thing, you know.
SPEAKER_02It's like have you ever thought about putting a bullet up your ass?
SPEAKER_03No, not once.
SPEAKER_02All right, good. All right, at least we're on the same page.
SPEAKER_03My ammunitions. Why, why don't we?
SPEAKER_02Could you imagine like me and you were going on a like a trip somewhere, and we go to the airport and I set the fucking metal detector off, and they're like, sir, you have bullets in your ass.
SPEAKER_03And you would just be like, How'd those get there?
SPEAKER_02I wouldn't put nine millimeter shells in my butt. Those are tiny, let alone an eight-inch artillery shell. That's like sitting on a Red Bull.
SPEAKER_03It's even bigger than that.
SPEAKER_02Straight up in there. Like, wonder what would have happened had it gone off. How big of a boom.
Rainforests, Lidar, And Goat Solutions
SPEAKER_03A WWI shell car called somebody.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, dude. Those WWI shells packed a punch. Back then they didn't have any regulations on them. So the Wa Wee War. I remember in history class them telling us about the artillery shells and the Wa Wee War were really bad. I'm never referring it to it as World War I again. And if someone says World War II, I'm like, nah, dude, that's the Wa Wee War, dude.
SPEAKER_03What would you call the next one? Wa wee. What do you know about Florida, man? There's a lot. Did you know about iguanas as of late in Florida?
SPEAKER_02They froze.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. You know what they're turning them into? Pizza? Popsickles, yeah.
SPEAKER_02I said pizza and you shook your head yes and said popsicles.
SPEAKER_03So just food in general is what I'm kind of the vibe going with.
SPEAKER_02No, I saw an actual pizza place was making iguana pizzas. Iguana pizzas.
SPEAKER_03They call chicken of the trees. Would you eat an iguana? If I had to? If I was like a business person and I had to like treat the international client and be like, oh god, I gotta do this to make the make the sale, make the agreement, I'll do it.
SPEAKER_02So you said it was the chicken of the tree. So let's say hypothetically you ate some and it was like better than the best chicken you've ever had.
SPEAKER_03Then I'm a gu iguana killer.
SPEAKER_02Then you're eating iguana.
SPEAKER_03I guess I'm killing them, yeah.
SPEAKER_02I could get behind that.
SPEAKER_03I would have to pay a butcher because I don't know if I can butcher that many. That's just a lot of iguanas to go through.
SPEAKER_02Or another animal that costs. A lot of problems in Florida is the parakeet. I didn't know this till the other day. Parakeet. They build like huge nests, like in the power power grids and shit.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah, no, yeah. They shoot 'em. They shoot 'em. They actually take 'em out. Mm-hmm. They don't just shoot the nest.
SPEAKER_02They're an evasive species.
SPEAKER_03Like, you know who's evasive? Fucking humans. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Dangerous creature. Killing other creatures going, hey, you're evasive. Someone murder you.
SPEAKER_02That's true. That's a good point. It's like government. Thinking about just not filing my taxes this year. Me too.
SPEAKER_03Me too. I don't know. They can't get us all.
SPEAKER_02Worst cases are like, hey, you gotta pay your taxes and then a penalty. Like, yeah. Cool. Great.
SPEAKER_03What's gonna happen? What are you gonna do? What I gotta do. I'm also gonna I could be living here in the country in a few years. Who knows?
SPEAKER_02Oh, for real? I'm out, bro. You're gonna be Canadian now?
SPEAKER_03I don't know. I'm gonna go further south. Tropical bunker. I'm telling you. Cocaina? Cocaina. Cocaina runner. Start playing these games. Gotta get with it now.
SPEAKER_02What do you think about that Olympic dude that got arrested? That kingpin dude. I didn't know about this. What is this? Yeah, I think his name is Ryan Wedding.
SPEAKER_03Ryan Wedding.
SPEAKER_02He was one of the top 10 FBI most wanted, dude. He was a Olympic skier for America, and he became one of the biggest Colombian drug lords. They just arrested him right three weeks ago. They arrested him, I think, somewhere in South America. He owns one of the rarest, most expensive cars ever made by Mercedes.
SPEAKER_03What's it called?
SPEAKER_02Um dude, I think I don't know, dude. Phantom menace. It's the it's like a hypercar. It's like a$10 million car. Yeah. He would never be able to afford that off a skier salary. I don't know what a skier makes, but I don't think it's enough to buy a$10 million car. What if you're like chasing him and he just busts out the skis and you're like, we're not catching him.
SPEAKER_03Bust out the skis? Yeah. He just pulls him out of that.
SPEAKER_02What a gangster way to get away from like especially if you can just like hop into him. The law, dude. Like you just ski away.
SPEAKER_03That's fucking that's I feel like if he's that rich, he has him built into his boots. So he does like an inspector gadget style.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, he's just a butt and he's just like, I'm out of here, bitch. Yeah, with rockets on him. You gonna be him? I could be.
SPEAKER_03Why not? I guess. I don't want yes.
SPEAKER_02You just lit you just flicked your fire out. Fuck boy. Could we open, could we move to South America in an open American restaurant?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that makes sense.
SPEAKER_02It'd be cheap because you can get them from the training. What other American treats would we sell in our American hot dogs? That's the American staple, right?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you can make whatever you want out of the hot dogs, too.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, an iguana dog. Iguana dog. An iguana burger? Pure capital. Wow, dude. Where can you buy iguana meat? You don't have to. What do you mean you don't have to?
SPEAKER_03Just go down there right now and you collect them.
SPEAKER_02And I don't know what to do with them. You store them. In the freezer?
SPEAKER_03Big freezer.
SPEAKER_02Nah, man. I don't want to open my freezer every day and just see dead.
SPEAKER_03Get yourself a new freezer. A walk-in chest freezer. That's just a rent it from Walmart.
SPEAKER_02That's not a good look, man.
SPEAKER_03Rent them, rent a spot in Walmart. They usually let you like a little cubby hole they don't usually have in the big freezer, so they don't care about you using it. I've done it before. So store stuff.
SPEAKER_02Imagine like a family member dies and you gotta go clean out their house and you get to the freezer and you pop it open and there's fucking 300 dead iguanas in there.
SPEAKER_03I wouldn't be surprised.
SPEAKER_02That'd be just music.
SPEAKER_03I would be like, this makes sense for me.
SPEAKER_02Ask Jabraham where we can buy iguana meat. He's just open mouth staring at his phone right now.
SPEAKER_03Why was I asking a guy? Where can we buy iguana meat, you fucking fuck? Hey Jabraham, Burke is yelling at me. Where can you buy iguana meat at?
SPEAKER_01Burke, chill out. JJ's just riffing, and we're all here for fun, not to get on each other. And as for iguanas, I'd say check with a licensed exotic pet shop. Just make sure they're reputable because you want to do it right.
SPEAKER_02Man, he's trying to get us to buy live iguanas and then eat them. Jabraham is a bit of an enthusiast for exotic meats. He wants to watch the killing part of that fucking weirdo.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, he's not right sometimes.
SPEAKER_02You gotta watch out for those eight robots.
Vultures, Canoes, And Cape Buffalo
SPEAKER_03But that's what happens when you listen to us and you have to be like us, like Jabraham is.
SPEAKER_02Do you think in the future there'll be a racist term for robots? I think bot is bot will just be like the slang. You call someone a bot. Oh, which is a racist term. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02It's frowned upon now, but like in the future when there's actual walking robots.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, it would be uh so people would be a cyborg, right? Because it'd be like a mixture of metal. You'd be a bot, so you would be uh you'd be cyborg, and then they would change that down to be a cycle, so you'd be like a cybch. It's one of those cybches over there. This is a cyborg, you know. So it's cybch. That's that's how it goes, Burke, in the future. People are just rude. Cyborgs are real people too, right? They're just modded, chipped.
SPEAKER_02Like you're gonna be. I'm trying to get that. What are you scrolling?
SPEAKER_03I don't know yet.
SPEAKER_02What the fuck? I lost. You better just fucking figure it out.
SPEAKER_03Why do you last thing you had was buffaloes? I know, but I got shut the fuck off. You don't know what things I had and didn't have. I got shower thoughts. I got shower thoughts about plants. You know plants?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I know plants. I don't have any, but you don't have any? Not indoor plants. I got outdoor plants.
SPEAKER_03Oh, so you're a plantist.
SPEAKER_02I just like things to be outside and things to be inside. And plants aren't something that I want inside. Oh then you got dirt. Then you gotta water it. I ain't got no time.
SPEAKER_03When they come for you, I won't be surprised. The plants? Yeah. It's like the happening, just better.
SPEAKER_02What's the happening?
SPEAKER_03You ever seen the happening? Plants were killing everybody? M Night Shyamalan?
SPEAKER_02Uh I don't think so. Oh. Well synopsis. Is that the one with the glowing like thing in the pool? Like the teeth flower? The flower? I remember there was like Jumanji. No, no, no. There's like a poisonous flower and a swimming pool. Definitely Jumanji. Nope. Nope. I've never seen Jumanji.
SPEAKER_03You haven't seen what the fuck?
SPEAKER_02I saw the Kevin Hart one. Oh. I know. Disgrace. I know. I know. You better find a savior.
SPEAKER_03Start praying.
SPEAKER_02What movie am I thinking about with the flower in the swim empty swimming pool?
SPEAKER_03Oh, you know what? Just one last time. I'm gonna call on him. He ain't gonna know. He might say something about it. He don't know shit. He might say something about vultures. Hey J. Braham, is there a movie that you can recall that has a giant glowing flower in a pool? Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01That sounds a bit like the one from Attack of the Clones, actually. There's a scene on the boo with those big blowing water flowers. I think that's the vibe you might be talking about.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, he gave you something. I don't know. Is it Attack on Titan? I don't know what that is. Maybe.
SPEAKER_02Maybe that glowing flower has some symbolic meaning in my life.
SPEAKER_03It could be unfolding. Unfurling. Unfurling.
SPEAKER_02You know what? Speaking of plants, there is one plant that kind of fascinates me that I'd like to see in action, not on like a video, and that's like the Venus flytrap.
SPEAKER_03You want to see an act like in real life?
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Make sure it's real. Why don't you get one? They're cheap. No. They're usually around. No, they're not. They're usually around. Never seen one. Never seen one. Nope. They're sometimes at big shopping centers.
SPEAKER_02Nope, never seen one. Incredible. Incredible.
SPEAKER_03Outstanding. Well, they exist, I think.
SPEAKER_02I've seen a Venus flytrap about as many times as if I experienced quicksand. Never. Oh, I've experienced quicksand. No, you have never been. I've been stuck in quicksand. No, no. Nobody's nobody that you know or we know has ever experienced quicksand.
SPEAKER_03I have tried to get out of quicksand. Got stuck. Nope. I don't know. Where was this quicksand? It was out in the country. Let's go see it. You can't.
SPEAKER_02It's a shopping mall now. Oh. So they built the shopping mall on top of quicksand. Yeah, that's gonna end up.
SPEAKER_03That's how that's how they found all the treasures. How do you dispose of quicksand? You put cement in it. And then you kind of just bring it up. Put cement in it and bring it up.
SPEAKER_02Makes sense.
SPEAKER_03It's engineering. I don't know if you'd understand that.
SPEAKER_02You know what's awesome about this podcast is it kind of reminds me of the government because we just say things and we're just like, yeah, that's real, and we just move on. You don't understand. It's what we do.
SPEAKER_03What I'm in the government.
SPEAKER_02I disagree. You would be in the government. As fucked up as things, let's just run for governor. Oh, governor. As a as a pair. As a pair.
SPEAKER_03Start our babble governors.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Governates. We're gonna governates. Governate this land. Who are we gonna do with that though?
SPEAKER_02Volta in America? Vote for jerk. It'd be spelled J J U R K-E. We gotta come combine the two names.
SPEAKER_00Oh Jujirk.
SPEAKER_02Jajirk. Jajerk. Vote Jujirk. We won't jerk you around. No, we're we're independent party. And see what I did there?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I like it. It's the slogan. Fuck those taxes. Slap it. You slap. Yeah, we're not doing taxes anymore. We're not repairing shit. You fix it. You live in this town, you fix it. Everybody has a job. Yeah. No. You're on road commission.
SPEAKER_02You don't want to pay taxes? Cool. Better get out there and fix them right now.
SPEAKER_03I'll be out there too.
Hunters, Ethics, And Snack Spiral
SPEAKER_02Yep. That would be kind of cool to see if you could have a community where everyone's just like, listen. Chipping in. Everyone's got a mow. Everyone's got to fucking clean up the roads, but there's no taxes. Let's buy a ghost, let's buy one of those ghost towns.
SPEAKER_03We've been talking about that for ages.
SPEAKER_02Small test, hundred people. 100 people in a ghost town, no taxes. Everyone chips in. And if you don't chip in, we deport you. Straight off. We just drive them out of town and drop them off. You don't chip in in our town, the heat shows up and drives you right out of town, dude.
SPEAKER_03Ridiculous.
SPEAKER_02God damn it. Hey Joe, you better clean those leaves up. You got 72 hours, or the heat's coming, buddy. And the heat comes in the middle of the night and gets Joe out of his bed, throws him in the van and drives him straight out of town, dude. What a terrible show. No one's gonna be out of. I feel like families would move there that have terrible kids just so we would heat their kids right out of town. Once you hit 12, you can be heated. Terrible. You're not doing your laundry or your homework. Figure it out. And guess who the chief of police is? A dog. A goddamn dog. You've act up, he bites you right on the ass, dude. Does he have a crew or is it just him? We only need one for a hundred. That's true. That's true. It's a big dog. It's a big dog. Yeah. Wolf hound. Stands about 6'3. He's wearing a tie and a badge. He's got a gun. He just forgot. He's got a gun.
SPEAKER_03He don't want to use it, but he will. He's only used it once before. Had to go to therapy for it, but he's back.
SPEAKER_02Speaking of therapy, I stumped my therapist last week. What was your therapist trying to do? You know how old Burke is. He'll tell you a lot without telling you nothing. Yeah, he'd tell you a lot of bullshit. Yeah. And you know, he's digging around. He's trying to dig for some thoughts. And I drop some I dropped some shit on him, and he just looked at me for like 30 seconds blankly. And he's just like, every week I find something out about you that just totally flips what I was thinking the week before. And I'm like, I've only given you about 15%, buddy. Fucking buckle up.
SPEAKER_03Ah, I feel bad for your therapist.
SPEAKER_02Like I'm sure he has to go to therapy after fucking talking to me.
SPEAKER_03Could you imagine that as a job? Talk to a bunch of you all day.
SPEAKER_02What's crazy though, dude, is like, because obviously he can't tell me because of HIPAA, like about other people, but he was just like, you're way more calm and chill than a lot of the other people I see, which made me think, like, who are you talking to? As I'm leaving, I always pass the next guy coming in, and like, as once I walk past him, I count to three, and then I turn around to make sure he's still walking that direction. If I had to give him a profile, looks like he might have killed someone that he worked with at Little Caesar's Pizza. No. And then like stuff them in a dumpster. Like, he kind of gives me that vibe. Dark vibe? Yeah. It's not good. Well, not good. Hopefully, therapy solves that. Big guy. Small jacket. Pizza does that. Big guy, small jacket. Kind of tells you everything you need to know. Big guy, neck beard, oily hair. He definitely killed someone behind a little Caesars. Jeez, man.
SPEAKER_03You're a detective now. You're uh what's those people called? Pro profiler. You're profiling now.
SPEAKER_02That'd be my best job.
SPEAKER_03Drawing faces.
SPEAKER_02Mm-hmm. Guys, if you're not gonna wash the rest of your body, shave your neck and wash your hair. If I could give every guy in America two tidbits of advice.
SPEAKER_03Wash that head, wash that face. Yeah. Dirty face.
SPEAKER_02I mean, hopefully, if you don't wash your face, enough soap from your hair will get on your face to at least do something. But dude, the worst to me is when you see a guy like me that's bald, but then you see like fucking six-inch long hairs on the bottom of where his neck and his shoulder meet meet. Yeah, that's what you want. You want carpet.
SPEAKER_03Like, bro, just hit that fucking clipper like two more inches. You keep that. You want that back hair? When the world gold's cold, you want to big white. We'd be well insulated. I don't want my armpit hair.
SPEAKER_02I wish I could laser it off when I don't have a laser.
SPEAKER_03You can make one yourself.
SPEAKER_02You think I could team a laser hair removal?
SPEAKER_03I think you can. I think there's one here. You have one here? Yeah, I got a laser too. It's red. It definitely works too. It worked on my face. So you'll like it. Gives you a little zap. Brings out the energy in you, you know. Ooh.
SPEAKER_02But I'm trying to get rid of hair energy.
SPEAKER_03I think you should try it.
SPEAKER_02No. No. If you're this excited for me to try it, I definitely ain't doing it. I think you'll like it. No. Yeah. I don't know what kind of weird stuff you got going on over here in this cabin in the woods.
SPEAKER_03We'll be astounding.
SPEAKER_02I knew this was gonna come a day. Well, the day has comeeth. How do you live in the woods, but I ain't seen no animals out in those trees?
SPEAKER_03You're just not looking.
SPEAKER_02Oh, I'm looking. I've been looking this whole time.
SPEAKER_03How many minutes are we at? Like an hour? You're not you're not looking good enough.
SPEAKER_02I can see at least 30 trees and I ain't seen not near one animal. Uh-uh.
Candy Wrappers, Slang, And Brain Rot
SPEAKER_03Don't you have like 2011 vision?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that means I see in the past and the future.
SPEAKER_03You just can't see the now. That's why you can't see animals.
SPEAKER_02I can see those deer. And you're gonna see them too, bitch, in the driveway in the morning. Fucking deer. I'm gonna have them stomp all over your car. Oh, bastard deer. They're gonna hit your car. No, they're not. You're not gonna hit them.
SPEAKER_03I'm coming after you.
SPEAKER_02Nah, dude.
SPEAKER_03I ain't dealing with no deer people. I'm going to the government. They're gonna shut it down. They're gonna shut it down before I even get started. Damn, dude. Man, we better finish this up then. I don't know how long you're gonna do that.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, we better finish it up because you've referenced that you're part pro-government like three times. You've said you're government now, dude. Or play both sides. What are you doing with my information? And now you know I want to start a ghost town that's tax-free, and you're gonna fucking send me to jail, you fucking I ain't going to jail.
SPEAKER_03I mean, no one's going to jail unless I get paid. So hey, some final thoughts. Well, what are you doing? There's one thing I want to talk about that's really I'm really impassioned by. It's the knowledge of a four-way stop. When I'm driving.
SPEAKER_02I gotta go through a lot of those coming over here and a roundabout.
SPEAKER_03And there's certain situations where I just don't think people understand how one works. But I need you guys to look up how four-way stops work. I'm not talking to everyone, just the one percent that don't.
SPEAKER_02And if you all come to the four-way stop at the same time, whoever got there first goes first.
SPEAKER_03Who goes first when they both come to the stop at the same time?
SPEAKER_02The one on the right.
SPEAKER_03Oh, bitch! See, that's not that hard. I don't get people.
SPEAKER_02Are my favorite is when they wave you, and if you don't go within a split second, and then you start going and then they go.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Oh and then now you stop again, and now you're both waving at each other.
SPEAKER_03Dance. Oh, God. Just makes me grind my gears.
SPEAKER_02Either we need to get rid of four-way stops and replace them with roundabouts or just traffic lights.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Or or bridges. Every single intersection needs to be a bridge.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but then they're gonna crumble and you gotta rebuild them. We need cheaper shit. I feel like we should just go back to like they had in the beginning. Dirt roads. Canals. Fucking dirt roads, canals. What? Well, waterways all over the place. So we just go every place by boat? Like Venice. That's stupid.
SPEAKER_03That's not stupid. It's saving it saved a lot. No more car bills.
SPEAKER_02Stupid boat.
SPEAKER_03No more gasoline bills.
SPEAKER_02Fuck the fuck the autos. Just a dumb boat pushed by a guy in a painter outfit.
SPEAKER_03It's you. No, you're French, bitch. We're all like this now. So we have we have causeways for boats. And we're we canoeing everywhere. Uh when the bombs drop and the EMP goes off, all the cars are dead anyway.
SPEAKER_02Not all of them.
SPEAKER_03Well, I mean, most of them, unless it's like a 19 pre-1970s.
SPEAKER_02That's all I got.
SPEAKER_03That's not you don't have any of that.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I do. I got it all.
SPEAKER_03Besides the attitude of yours being old. Most of your shit's new, so I know you're just stuck in the water.
SPEAKER_02You're stuck in the water.
SPEAKER_03I know how to survive.
SPEAKER_02You think that you know how to survive in the water, but I've seen you swim.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02You swim like a fucking dolphin with no flipper.
SPEAKER_03Well, sometimes you gotta figure it out when a shark bites you.
SPEAKER_02You're a dolphin with a nub.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you figure it out.
SPEAKER_02You're a nub dolphin.
SPEAKER_03Nub the dolphin. Huh. He survives. What about your final thought?
SPEAKER_02Head out to the dollar store, buy some disposable razors, some shaving cream, get that neck cleaned up, wash that head and face, and get back out there and fucking do it. Yeah, just do it clean. Just do it. Everyone just needs to be fucking clean. If you don't bathe at least every other day, I can't look at you the same.
SPEAKER_03That's gonna close the picture down.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I mean, we might lose some viewership. And if you heard that and it hurts your feelings, shame on your dirty butt. Get in there and fucking clean it. Good for you, bro.
Four-Way Stops, Boats, And EMP Reality
SPEAKER_03Yeah, thank you. Well done. If you guys want to get at us, I put the Discord link in the show notes. You can find us there. Otherwise, good.
