Ep. 54 - The Slack Doctors Episode 54 We Got Dave Smith Tickets!

The Docs rant like boomers over buying event tickets online. Who is behind the push for digital currency? The Docs still don't "get" copyright law. In a real life "Horrible Bosses" situation, what would the Docs do? It might be time for big pharma to go medieval on our asses. The Docs react to maybe the best Freddy Mercury impersonation of all time. We watch as The Onion destroys Alex Jones. The term 86 is pretty well understood. The Docs need a weed sponsor! Shabbos workarounds are hilarious. The Docs react and comment on a Big Brother Supergroup disaster of a show. 

Transcript

SPEAKER_06 0:24

All right, we're back for another episode of the Slack Doctors. I am Dr. Chip. I am Dr.

SPEAKER_07 0:30

Bob. Dr. Chip, did you notice a uh an interesting email? Did you notice we're still on somebody's emailing list? Oh, yes, I did, as a matter of fact, yes. Yeah, did you read it?

SPEAKER_06 0:40

Um I yeah, I I skimmed it. It looks like they're, you know, looking for business.

SPEAKER_07 0:45

Our former studio, we won't drop any names, but our former studio still has us on their mailing list, and so I guess they have some kind of event coming up. But uh, I just thought the funniest thing of the email is that I guess there's a raffle or something, and one of the potential prizes is five hours of sit-down and talk time with the the pod master himself, the owner. Yeah, I can't imagine a worse thing than having just talked to that guy for five hours. Like that is sad. That is not a number of this guy.

SPEAKER_06 1:14

Yeah, I thought it was kind of cool, but I don't know what we talk about for five hours, but I I don't know. That's interesting.

SPEAKER_07 1:21

Anyway, I thought that was interesting.

SPEAKER_06 1:22

That is, I didn't even notice that part. I just noticed the part where they were giving 500 bucks off of you know for whatever the rate lately, but whatever. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:30

Adding clips, but they're all AI clips. But anyway, yeah, we don't need to go down that rabbit hole.

SPEAKER_06 1:34

I I do want to give a quick shout out to Nurse Becca for coming through on the Dave Smith tickets. We got we got the tickets.

SPEAKER_07 1:42

Uh hello nurse.

SPEAKER_06 1:44

Yeah, I wanted to ask you about that. That's kind of strange that you wouldn't go to DaveSmith.com right away for the tickets. Where where would you just Google it or something?

SPEAKER_07 1:52

First, I first I Googled the event, saw where it was at, went to the location, tried to buy the tickets from the the club, from the the site, you know what I mean? And they they said they had none. So then when I first googled it, it said that tickets were available under and they were two different resellers. I forget vivid something, and I forget what the names of the two were. And when I went to those two, one of them said that they were sold out, and the other one said that they were 130 bucks a pop.

SPEAKER_06 2:20

And that's when I called you and said, uh Yeah, that's you know, it's funny because I got kind of I got kind of demoralized. I was like, you know, screw it, if we have to go through some kind of scalpers or something to get this done, it's not it's screwed, I ain't gonna do it. But then I kept remembering everybody like uh like Jimmy Dorr says it all the time, and and he goes, Look, you gotta go to my site to get the tickets, or else you're gonna get you're gonna get them through scalpers. And then I was like, wait a minute, so doesn't Dave Smith have a have his own site? And sure enough, I started look and I had to go go to his like uh Twitter page to find the actual site.

SPEAKER_07 2:52

Ah, see, I've yeah, I've never done that. And I I usually do go to the source, but in my mind, the source is the venue.

SPEAKER_06 2:58

Yeah, that's what I was the place that would have, you know what I mean? Like I was gonna say, because you're known for going to the source, so I was kind of surprised.

SPEAKER_07 3:04

When I fly, I I contact the airlines, you know what I mean? If I'm getting a hotel, I contact the hotel room. I despise Travelocity and Expedia and all the other middlemen bullshit, bundle everything together, and then when things go wrong, there's nobody you can talk to. It's horrible.

SPEAKER_06 3:19

And of course, I should tell the story of the reason that I don't use credit cards is they can't fucking don't work for me. They just don't work. I tried to fill all the fields out and put in the credit card information, screwed it up the first time with the date on the credit card, screwed it up the second time with one number on the credit card, third time it declined me. And I'm like, motherfuckers, god damn it. I hate that shit, man.

SPEAKER_07 3:42

Anyway, so I owe Becca a couple hundred bucks for uh for tickets, but uh we'll get I tried to lure her into the studio to get her money, but apparently she's still better that you didn't do it and follow through it on yourself because the most assuredly they would have sent you some stupid QR code ticket or something, and your phone wouldn't be able to do it. Right, so then you'd have to get it on your laptop somehow, and then you'd have to forward it to either me or Becca, and it would have been a fucking nightmare. It's true. So I'm sure Becca has some a smartphone and the easy peasy.

unknown 4:14

Yep.

SPEAKER_07 4:15

GX when we went and saw Stavi, it was all on my phone. There were no tickets. Exactly. Exactly. When I go when I fly, there's no tickets.

SPEAKER_06 4:23

Yeah, that's the worst part for me, is when I have to go fly, I gotta go get him to print me out a ticket. As a matter of fact, I spent a good good portion of time at a Boston airport once trying to get a kiosk to print out a ticket for my flight, and I was at the wrong airline. It was not going well.

SPEAKER_07 4:41

I think I told the story already, but one time I was trying when trying to fly, this is quite a few years ago, and I didn't, I know all I had was cash. You can't buy an airline ticket with cash. So you have to go over to like a little ATM machine in the airport lobby and buy a card and put money on the card and then walk right back over and hand that card to them and use that to pay. Yep.

SPEAKER_06 5:01

Yeah, it's crazy. Anyway, let's get to uh there's one thing I want to talk about, but I think I left a message about it. But I want to talk about that chick from JP Morgan's that's that was supposedly, you know, using that her underling as a sex slave or whatever. But I think I left a message. Oh god, the memes. There's so many memes on iFi about that. Did I leave a voicemail about that? Uh let's we can do let's go do our voices with suggestions too.

SPEAKER_07 5:28

I think there's only two.

SPEAKER_02 5:30

I wanted to explore an interesting what if. What if Ron DeSantis had gotten a nomination and become president instead of Trump? Would Israel let DeSantis remain anti-digital money, anti-TVD? Or is it even at this point? I don't know. I mean DeSantis is theory of the tool of Israel clearly beholden to them. So I'm just wondering what would happen if he would have actually got the nomination over there. I promised all these people lose digital currency, and now you tell me I have to do it.

SPEAKER_07 6:06

Anyway, I just got yeah, that was an interesting thing. Didn't he make didn't he recently or like within the last year make uh gold and silver like currency in the state of Florida? He did. Yeah, he did.

SPEAKER_06 6:19

He's been very anti-digital currency, but at the same time, he's very pro-Israel. So that's what I'm that's what I'm saying is like I think Israel is behind all this Bitcoin and digital money stuff. So if he yeah, I think that's an interesting dichotomy with with DeSantis, because he can't really he's gonna have to pick a lane soon. He can't do both.

SPEAKER_07 6:41

He's gonna have to go. Well, I mean, if there's any group of people that are excel at trying at least to do both, it would be politicians. I mean, they're always walking the line. That's true. That's true. But I don't think any backbone of our country is our ability as a nation to say one thing and act say one thing and then act in a completely different manner. Yeah, true.

SPEAKER_06 7:01

But I think it's getting too much.

SPEAKER_07 7:03

We can commit atrocities all over the world as long as we condemn ourselves for doing it.

SPEAKER_06 7:06

I think it's getting to where if you pledge allegiance to Israel, though, you're not you don't have much of a f future in politics. Not as long as long as the boomers are, you know, going out. Anyway, all right, go ahead with the next one. Here's the next one.

SPEAKER_05 7:20

Okay, we have to discuss this whole copyright bullshit that goes on. I don't understand the whole system. I mean, I know copywriting is supposed to protect you and make sure you get paid for your your art or whatever. But I mean, how does us getting struck off of YouTube help the artist? Where's the option to go? Okay, let's just pay them. How does that how does any of this help anybody other than I don't know, who does it help? It doesn't seem to be helping anybody. Anyway, end discussion.

SPEAKER_07 7:49

Yeah. All right. I mean, obviously, we've never tried to reach out and contact. I mean, there's got to be a way, and I'm sure it's not that difficult to secure the rights to do things. We did that with it. We've never used anything in a manner that wasn't fair use and in short little clips. Right. But didn't we try to pay them for the four? I see other people do it far worse than we do. Oh, yeah, I don't understand.

SPEAKER_06 8:11

But didn't we reach out and try to find out how much it would cost just to pay the the you know the Booker T song?

SPEAKER_07 8:19

No, uh, we never reached out because I thought they were wanted some outrageous write you one.

SPEAKER_06 8:24

I thought they wanted some amount of outrageous amount of money or something.

SPEAKER_07 8:26

We never tried to get in touch with them in that way.

SPEAKER_06 8:29

But I mean, uh so they're telling us there's a copy strike. Do they provide you of any avenue to go if you'd like to contact these people and pay them?

SPEAKER_07 8:38

They don't they give you the they give you the names of the I mean it's up to you to research how to contact them. They do give you the names of whoever those the owners are. And it's funny that you bring this up, right? So the episode that um I just you know scheduled it to go up, I believe it's gonna be episode 53. Uh, it's the one where we do the brief little tribute to David Allen Coe, or my little karaoke adventure there. In spite of the the fair use warning in the beginning of our video, and in spite of the me verbally stating that we do not own the rights to this and showing it on screen at the same time and it being in the description, it's still got a copyright flag. Now, it did get it, it's different than any of the other ones we've had before because this one says it does not restrict visibility, it does not affect uh your channel, and it doesn't even say that it would it would demonetize the video if if if our channel was making money, which all the other ones have had all of that in it. So this one is almost just like a wink wink nod nod, like saying, Ah, we know you did it, but we're gonna let it slide. Like what the fuck does that even mean? Yes, and also instead of saying audio, it says the copyright flag is for quote melody and lyrics. So does that mean you can't even read the lyrics to a song out loud? If you know, would it then it just be a class or a strike on lyrics but not melody? I don't know. You could hardly call what I do a performance. There's no way you could argue that that's taking away anything from you know, like nobody in the world thought to themselves, I'd like to go listen to the album or a version of that song, but I think I'll just listen to this fat guy at the beach do it because he's just nailing it, you know. I don't get it, it doesn't make any sense.

SPEAKER_06 10:19

Um, yeah, and not only that, I mean, are we even talking about uh laws here, or are we just talking about rules with YouTube?

SPEAKER_07 10:26

Well, that's also interesting. It I think it is rules of YouTube because we don't get these messages from Rumble. Very interesting. Never once have I gotten a copyright flag or or any mention of copyright from Rumble.

SPEAKER_06 10:40

I don't know how much of this has any to anything to do with laws, it's just YouTube trying to make sure. And then they're just trying to max YouTube maximize their amount of money, I guess they're they're able to collect it some, you know, I guess. I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 10:54

Another good point about that that little audio clip of me doing karaoke is that was eight years ago that I put that on YouTube. There was no copyright mention of it then. It's been sitting there on on that up my other channel, you know, my personal channel for eight years now.

SPEAKER_06 11:10

Not once was it ever, hey, you know, and there's we're worried that you're and there's definitely a video we're gonna be going through later that we we have already discussed on the phone there may be some copyright issues with, but I don't know because because it's a it's a VH1 uh show. Is VH1 even still on the air?

SPEAKER_07 11:29

Oh, I don't know, but I yeah, that's but anyway, we'll we'll we we'll deal with that when we get to one of the many fields that I have to click on when I'm you know uploading a video is has this content ever aired on television in the United States before it? And if it was on VH1, then unfortunately I'm gonna have to click yes, and I don't know what rabbit hole that's gonna lead me down because I've I've never clicked yes before. Oh, that's that's interesting.

SPEAKER_06 11:54

Anyway, all right, so let's talk about this JP Morgan chick. All right, so you know the in you know the the the the story here, right? Refresh me. All right, apparently this chick is this this Indian dude's boss. Um oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she's apparently using her power over him to make him do sexual stuff or something like that or whatever, and he's he's trying to file suit or something like that. So if you were in his position, and all right, and to me, this sounds a lot like horrible bosses. Remember the movie? I was just gonna bring it up, but I was gonna wait for it. But yeah, yeah, yeah. If you were in that position, Charlie Babe dealing with with Jennifer Anderson, yes. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_07 12:38

If you're in that position, what would you do? Well, that's a you know, that's a trick question, but no, it isn't. I'm a pervert, and I would do. I like meme chicks, so are you intelligent?

SPEAKER_06 12:51

Yeah, here's what I would have done. I would have just this is the the perfect, this is like a hall pass. I would have gone to my wife and said, Hey, this chick wants to screw me, or she's gonna fire me. What do you want me to do? You know, you can't go wrong at that point. She either says, Well, you gotta quit. And I'm like, All right, well, you know, we're gonna be broke for a while because I'm not gonna have a job.

SPEAKER_07 13:13

You literally just made me think of the scene in Horrible Bosses where uh his fiance is in the in the dentist chair. She sedates him and then tries to make out with him on using the fiance's passed out body as a table. Yeah. But I mean, you know, never know. If you haven't seen that, you really should. It's you never know.

SPEAKER_06 13:31

The wife might have said, fuck it, screw her. I get we need the money. Who knows? And then you got, you know, I don't know. I would have just been up front and said, hey, she wants me to do this stuff. Uh, what do you think, honey?

SPEAKER_07 13:44

Uh you know, it is it's easy to make light of, and you know, she's an attractive woman, so it's not like he was then again, who knows his type. Maybe she's hideous to him. I don't know. Uh yeah, who knows? But it's it certainly is a double standard and a double-edged sword. Hey, listen, and that extends all the way down even to when teachers do inappropriate things with their students. Whenever it's a hot chick, everybody's like, Oh, I'm a lucky kid. I wish I'd have been. But you know, it's a good thing. But you make a good point. There's a lot of hot chicks.

SPEAKER_06 14:14

It's still an abusive power. You make a good point, though. There's lots of hot chicks that are still just hideous. And not only that, there's you know, they for you gotta remember, for every hot chick you ever see on the planet, there's some guy that's tired of screwing her. Yeah. Anyway, all right.

SPEAKER_07 14:32

So you got any uh clips pulled up, or should I start with uh uh I pulled a couple of them up. Let's see which ones I did. Uh all right. This one uh I found this one pretty amusing. I mean, you knew I would like this.

SPEAKER_18 14:45

Even his simplest choice in life can feel impossible, and my symptoms were keeping me be right back from where I needed to be. So I spoke with my apothecary and learned that Rattus curativa is for people with the Crohn's unholy curve.

SPEAKER_07 15:00

I all this time with all my GI issues, and I never once thought to go medieval on my ass. It really is might maybe not a bad idea. I'm gonna bring it up to the guy when I do my pre-op. Leeches, bleeding, maybe uh yeah. Worked for Richard Geer. Well, yeah, that's uh that was a hamster and it came or a gerbil, and I believe it was a different direction. Uh South Park did something similar. Poor Lemmy Winks, poor Lemmy Winks. Um, but yeah, this is supposed to settle your humors, I believe they will explain later, and certainly mine are off.

SPEAKER_18 15:32

And Righteous Curativa can help people achieve remission that can last, so you can experience few or no symptoms, so you can get back to doing the things you were meant to do and take back control of your life. Righteous curativa helps realign gut humours using the natural warmth of a rat worn at the neck. As that warmth flows downward, it soothes the lower humours and helps restore digestive balance.

SPEAKER_07 15:53

Ratchet's curative. It might actually also help with other conditions. I could see how social anxiety would be fixed because no one's coming within ten feet of you if you've got a dead rotting rat hanging around your neck.

SPEAKER_18 16:04

It's an emotional body's ability to fend off plagues, poxes, or wandering illnesses of the realm. Serious and sometimes fatal afflictions have occurred, including black bile fever, lung rot, witches' cough, confusion between your thoughts and a rat's thoughts, and unexplained bouts of scurrying.

SPEAKER_07 16:20

Witches' cough and unexplained bouts of scurrying.

SPEAKER_18 16:24

Not begin ratus curativa if you currently have an illness, fever, or active plague. Be there for you and them. Talk to your apothecary today about Rattus Curativa. With Rattus Curativa, remission is possible.

SPEAKER_07 16:36

I'm willing to give it a try. I'm trying to remember what the classic four humor was blood, bile, phlegm. I can't think of what the fourth one was. They believed that your body was made up of those four things. It is everything, as long as everything was in balance, then you were fine. But if one of those were out of whack, then you know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 16:54

They believed in a lot of weird shit. All right. Let me see. I got let me see what I got going on here. This is one of the best Freddie Mercury imitators you'll ever find.

SPEAKER_07 17:15

All the way. That's a little bit of Frank Sinatra in there.

SPEAKER_06 17:23

There it is, the windbows choreography. Now, the reason this really even caught my eye is he's got the same exact uh uh wardrobe as you on the uh the karaoke stuff.

SPEAKER_07 17:38

No, no, no. I had shorts on he's got way more teeth than I do. Hell, he's got more teeth than three people.

SPEAKER_06 17:46

Well, at least that's that's the only thing even resembling Freddie Mercury is the teeth. Yeah, that guy was pretty funny. I thought that was hilarious.

SPEAKER_07 17:57

We're gonna do dueling clips. Yeah, you got one? Yeah, this is a good one, too. And this is something I brought up uh on one of our previous episodes where we're talking about Alex Jones being angry. This guy does a pretty good Alex Jones impression.

SPEAKER_17 18:12

But I'm gonna sip from the blood of the forsaken. This is real human blood. You can find this at the InfoWars store.

SPEAKER_07 18:19

And look at the rainbow pattern on InfoWars behind him. Jones' blood is boiling when he watches this, literally.

SPEAKER_17 18:27

This is human blood curated from the force taken and snooze. All right, this is pure premium blood tested, uh, FDA, unapproved. This is just human blood.

SPEAKER_20 18:39

You can see the green screen when he raises the glass, it goes away, you know.

SPEAKER_07 18:44

Yeah, yeah. Unpasteurized, I'm sure. You know, raw blood.

SPEAKER_17 18:49

I'm a servant to Satan, and thank God I was able to get him and the Lord to sit down and come to their senses and get things back to before before Satan was cast into hell. So I'm part of that. I'm part of get I'm part of a part of the peace movement.

SPEAKER_07 19:06

He's really got the not just the voice, but the cadence down. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 19:09

He's that's why total respect for this guy.

SPEAKER_07 19:16

That's true.

SPEAKER_06 19:16

That would have made it, that would have made it perfect.

SPEAKER_17 19:21

It tastes like blood. And this is Satan giving me the powers to continue to fight, and we will continue to fight. And I cheers to you if you have access to the blood of the forsaken and uh in a bold children. Oh, this is not blood. These are adult. This is adult blood, by the way. Ain't no question. I made sure of that because I don't adrenochrome free. We'll get in trouble. Well, this is this is this is the blood of Forsake of the Forsaken. It's hot.

SPEAKER_06 19:56

Yeah, I had to I had to be I had to pay homage, man. It's like he's a guy that tried to do a couple, you know, Alex Jones impersonations myself. That guy's nailing it. He's done it pretty damn well. And it's funny, since I since I sent you that, I guess it's that particular clip has kind of you know got went viral on X or whatever. I I'm not sure if the people that support Alex Jones or don't support Alex Jones are now doing it, but they keep posting stuff that's actually just Alex Jones going, look, this is much worse. And it's true, they put this Alex Jones stuff up there that makes that look pretty tame. Oh, so I don't even know if they're trying to defend him or make him look worse or whatever, but yeah, that one's pretty hilarious. He doesn't need anybody's help to make himself look worse. No, probably not. Probably not. Let's see what else. Oh, yeah, you know, I wanted to take about I wanted to talk about this. So let's let's let's hate watch some Bill Mayer together, shall we?

SPEAKER_04 20:52

I think they made the right call. In this case, yes. I think it's gonna, I think this is they're gonna look back and think this is like, I mean, we've heard a lot of talk about the civil war. This is like a step toward that because you I saw the map, the picture of the map of what it's going to look like. There's going to be no black Congresspeople from the South. You think you can you can cut off the part of the country that has the most African Americans in it, and that map is like completely red. Maybe there's a few, maybe just the central Atlanta or someplace like that, where it's gonna and you think people are just gonna take that line.

SPEAKER_16 21:32

That's wrong, okay? What I think what you're gonna have, what you think you're actually going to have, is you're gonna have black representation, but a lot more of it is gonna be Republican.

SPEAKER_04 21:40

I think they made the right call.

SPEAKER_16 21:41

In this case, yes.

SPEAKER_06 21:42

Yeah. Here's the thing uh I mean you're basically saying Democrats equal blacks and Republicans equal whites. How that's the most racist thing on the planet. You know? Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 21:55

That is what he's basically what he's saying.

SPEAKER_06 21:57

Yeah, and it's like, look, as a person that has I mean, I don't give a shit what you district. I mean, I don't vote for either one of those parties. What do I care? Like it's like, why are you people so beholden to these stupid parties that that like just because they draw a map about you know of this place is in some district that meet doesn't mean people can't vote for what they want to vote for? Doesn't make any sense.

SPEAKER_07 22:23

It would be even be a little bit slightly better if it was actually a multi-party system and where the other parties maybe even stood at Snowball's chance in hell.

SPEAKER_06 22:31

Right. Exactly.

SPEAKER_07 22:32

But the duopoly that it is now is impossible to the Americans.

SPEAKER_06 22:36

They're even trying to like say that this duopoly is somehow completely racist, like it's whites versus blacks, which is ridiculous. I've been I made a bunch of posts already that basically said, wait a minute, so if the demo if Democrats are repr only representative of blacks, how do they let whites be whites be in the party? They shouldn't they kick all the white people out and say, you can't be a Democrat, you're not black. I mean it doesn't it doesn't make any sense. And then there's a bunch of what about all the blacks that are that are Republicans, like the Hodgkins twins and you know, all these black people that are Republicans, Candace Owens. What are they supposed to you know say? Well, I don't count as a Republican because I'm I mean it's it racist, it's so racist. It's it's inherently racist, it doesn't make any sense.

SPEAKER_07 23:20

Anyway, have you ever seen the Key and Peel skit about the uh black Republican like meeting? And literally every single person there is wearing the exact same outfit. It's like oh yeah, dad shorts with a tucked in polo shirt, I think.

SPEAKER_06 23:34

Yeah, those guys are great, man. I I gotta say, I I I wish I was a bigger p Key and Peel stand when their show was on because it was amazing. But uh yeah and you know, let me show this other one while we're here because this one um uh I was just watching our our uh We're not going to Mars uh episode today, and this guy is apparently in it works with Ty on a lot of his stuff, and he brought in a very interesting uh thing to bear here about the Charlie. Well, this will be the only Charlie Kirk stuff today, we promise. But check this out.

SPEAKER_21 24:06

Hey guys, it's Colin of Project Constitution. This is a wild post, and it makes you rethink everything about the George Zen angle. Check out this post that Matthew St. Baker on X just shared. This is footage from a 2024 TP USA event in Detroit called the People's Convention, and this is where Nick Fuentes and Jake Shields trying to go into the event and then getting kicked out by Brian Harpo and the rest of attorney for insecurity. And that you can see Brian Harpo in the footage at the 38-second timestamp. But there's more. If you fast forward to the 7-minute and 41-second timestamp, you see none other than George Zinn. Yes, that George Zinn. The old guy that stood up at the UBU event with his hands down and said, I did it, I did it, but at the 7-minute and 41-second timestamp, you see him getting out of the passenger seat of a vehicle with a red maggot hat in hand and walking into the venue. So then you gotta ask the question of why was he there? And how long has George Zinn been following Charlie and shadowing these turning point events? This is weird, guys. This is definitely a rabbit hole to go down. Now we're going to have to look through all the old footage from past turning point events and see if George Zinn was at those as well. Anyway, guys, here's the video, so check it out. I would just say that probably.

SPEAKER_06 25:26

Well, we don't have to watch it. He he just pointed it out. But basically, that's that's the gist of it. Is that Zen guy? There's nothing else to investigate here. We've got the guy, there's nothing else, nothing nefarious going on, nothing could be, you know, it's just so ridiculous.

SPEAKER_07 25:41

It's you know, uh, there are people who literally just do follow dumb shit, political shit around and like to attend it the same way people followed the Grateful Dead on tour. Like I don't get it, and I don't understand it. And some of them are clearly being paid to do the things they're due, but there are quote unquote activists that just always want to be in the middle of whatever shit is going down. Oh, yeah. I'm not saying this guy's one of those, but I would say it is that simple.

SPEAKER_06 26:09

I would say for every one of those activists, there's somebody getting paid to to do exactly what they're doing.

SPEAKER_07 26:16

You know, I'd say there's probably a one-to-one now, too. There's companies that organize, you know, uh protesters and shit. Yeah, they provide you with the signs and everything. So that's big business now. And probably always has been, but now it's just out in the open. But it's crazy how much more everything is just out in the open. It's just becoming a shameless, insane.

SPEAKER_06 26:37

Speaking of out in the open, that out of tail bored me right into this other clip. Hold on. This one's pretty good. And you know, here's the thing. I don't know. I'll we'll talk about this other. This guy came out and screwed up this whole case on on TV already, but check this out first.

SPEAKER_13 26:53

Oh you always sing at work. Well, I'm gonna go more. Well, it's a little annoying. Can we 86 it, please? 86 him. That means kill them.

SPEAKER_00 27:02

Why they'd hate me. Uh maybe it's because you're going from the twist into a stuff. Alright, I'll just 86 the combo.

SPEAKER_01 27:09

When they want to kill somebody, they say, 86, the son of a gun. That's under the swab, but he's gonna 86 it. He lives in 86 it, maybe I know.

SPEAKER_02 27:22

You want to take it's a 19th century park of the door?

SPEAKER_06 27:24

Yeah. You get the you get the idea. That's that's basically I'd put as exhibit A for Jim Comey. Um, you know, that's such a ridiculous case. And so the guy, uh, Blanche or whatever, the new uh attorney general, went on some TV show and they were basically grilling him about this. Like, you can't really, this can't be your case. And he basically said, Oh, yeah, no, no, we know that's not what that means. So what the fuck is this case about?

SPEAKER_07 27:50

I mean I always thought it was strictly a restaurant thing. I'd never heard it used in any other meaning context.

SPEAKER_06 27:56

Well, truthfully, and and from what I thought, I thought the restaurant stole it from uh uh cop code. I thought 1086, doesn't that you never heard 1086?

SPEAKER_20 28:08

I mean uh 1086, I've heard it. I don't know. What when I was a cop, um I we used 886 it or at right.

SPEAKER_06 28:19

But that wasn't a specific 1086, 1086.

SPEAKER_20 28:22

There probably is. I can't remember 1086.

SPEAKER_06 28:24

I thought that's where the restaurants got it from, truthfully. Oh, he's gonna look it up or something. Yeah, but anyway, but yeah, I mean this guy basically said, no, that's not what the case is about. So what the hell is this case about? It's I mean, are they just trying to retry the same thing that they tried to indict him on before? Or it's just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Are you looking it up there, Rama?

SPEAKER_07 28:46

I was looking it up, yeah, but it's stupid AI. I I don't know. It says 1086 police code most commonly means any traffic or any radio traffic for me. But that doesn't seem to make any sense.

SPEAKER_20 28:58

Officer operator on duty.

SPEAKER_06 29:02

That case is gonna be just completely ridiculous. Now, back into a lighter subject. I uh I need you, Rom, to go and uh I think we need a QR code from your dispensary.

SPEAKER_07 29:16

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_19 29:18

About a month ago, I posted a video of her and then we completely fucking viral. Yeah, over four million views. So every time we do that. And then 30 days and eight million views later, she's low-key like an influencer definitely has no. I just tell her I make these videos for fun and that people like them. She's been working a bunch of different jobs for like the last 40 years, and she's been forever how she wants to retire and travel the country doing cool shit. Look, she's not close to retiring on her own, but I thought we could help her. After visiting her favorite herb company, I talked to the owner and they agreed to give her an affiliate code, which means every time someone uses the code and buys something, Lisa gets to keep a percentage of it. My aunt Lisa has done a lot from me in my life, and I what's that?

SPEAKER_07 30:13

That's a great idea. I'm gonna have to hit up the dispensaries here in town and see if I can get a deal like that.

SPEAKER_06 30:18

Yeah, hit them all up. Hit everyone you find, go, hey, we got a podcast. You want to give us a QR code? We'll get you know, we'll litter it all over the internet. Anyway. All right, you got any more?

SPEAKER_07 30:30

Uh I got one. I think I got one more, yeah. I was gonna say, I only have one more too, but it's the big long one. Yeah, well let's do this one then. Yeah, perfect. So what's funny is you know, we've talked about how you know how Jewish or not Jewish I am. And I always knew that some of these I knew some of these weird workarounds for for the Sabbath, like ways to get things done without actually doing work. Um and like crazy, it is it is kind of crazy. It's like you're like who do you think you're fooling? You can't trick God, but I guess if you use the loophole, it's okay anyway.

SPEAKER_14 31:04

On Chavez.

SPEAKER_08 31:05

Great question, no, there's no cooking on Chavez. So how do we drink cooking, not boiling? Sorry, guys. Great question, no, there's no cooking on Chavez.

SPEAKER_14 31:16

So, how do we drink coffee in the morning?

SPEAKER_08 31:18

So basically, we make sure that it's not cooking. I make a cup of coffee either with instant delicious coffee, I pour it into one cup, I get it from the fern, which we heat up before Chavez.

SPEAKER_07 31:32

So see now, I don't know what the details are on as far as like you're not supposed to perform work, I think, but clearly there's more to it than that. Yeah, even if you're just going by details, because you could argue that pouring something isn't any act that you're doing is is some kind of work. That's your people's thing, is arguing. Exactly. Yeah, and that's what that's why we make such good attorneys.

SPEAKER_15 31:55

Pretend it's Shabbat morning and we're about to have a cup of coffee. How would you make it?

SPEAKER_08 32:00

So, this is what I would do. I first get the coffee of choice.

SPEAKER_07 32:05

I put the amount of coffee that I usually tomorrow, because technically, if you clean it today, I don't know. I don't think you can clean it today. That's a good way to get out of cleaning it for a day, too, is tell your wife, look, I'd love to wipe this up off the counter, but you know, but it's sad. Big guy says no. All the sugar.

SPEAKER_15 32:30

All the sugar? Well, okay.

SPEAKER_08 32:34

Put my sugar in.

SPEAKER_15 32:35

Okay, let's see how much sugar you put in. Okay, yeah, that explains a lot. That explains a lot. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_07 32:42

You want ants? Because that's how you get ants.

SPEAKER_15 32:45

I'll ready. Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_07 32:48

I fill this cup with boiling water, which we that feels very close to some kind of work. Heat it up before shaking this. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 32:58

From here, this is what we call a klee shaney, a second vessel. And the water cools off by the air or from pouring, and from there I pour it into the cle shleeche.

SPEAKER_14 33:10

So it has to go from this cup to that cup. We cannot pour straight into this cup.

SPEAKER_07 33:15

That makes no sense to me whatsoever. That literally seems like adding a step, which would be more work, which seems like it should be the exact opposite of what you're trying to do here. Uh well, no, you know, I'm trying to trying to make it make sense. Oh no. Here's now to be honest, though, the real secret to honoring Shabbat properly and to not like performing any of the labors that God doesn't want you to do is to have one Goyam friend that'll do it for you. Yeah, right. Currently, it's almost like Renfield, like like Dracula needs somebody to do shit for him during the daytime, right? Yeah, but this is just once a week.

SPEAKER_08 33:49

Now, this is actually a lenient way. A lot of people would first pour the hot water into another cup and then put the coffee into their butt.

SPEAKER_07 33:58

This allows them put the coffee into their butt. That's an entirely different way of getting the caffeine into your system. The best part of waking up is folders in your butt.

SPEAKER_08 34:11

Us to have coffee without cooking. It's not about fooling, it's about within the law of Chavez, not cooking, not boiling, and not transgressing the law. By the way, this oh okay, thanks so much.

SPEAKER_07 34:29

And as we all know, the letter of the law is clearly more important than the spirit of the law.

SPEAKER_06 34:34

Yes, clearly. And you know, it's funny because this I this the reason I even sent that is because this proves I I think this is proving even more and more that I might be Jewish. Because if there's one thing in common that we have, is that you know, if somebody says, Well, you you're not supposed to do this, we figure out a way to do it.

SPEAKER_20 34:53

Wouldn't it have been easier the night before you start uh the Shabbos? Make your coffee pot, and you get up in the morning, you hit the button, and it's brew, it brews for you.

SPEAKER_07 35:04

That's all the things. No, actually, you're 99% there, Dean. Here's the thing, though, you can't hit that button, but you can set a timer. Right. You set the timer the night before so that it just automatically starts. Now you you might be Jewish because that's pretty damn clever.

SPEAKER_20 35:19

My wife is.

SPEAKER_07 35:20

Now, somebody once explained to me the mechanism by which they can use this. Was back when there were landlines. I'm sure there's even more insane rules now, but they had some they invented had invented some workaround so that their phone was like always receiving and instead of having to call out, they just allowed the call to come in. Yes, and therefore that was a that was the loophole, so you could still use the phone on Shabbat. It's it's impressive in a way.

SPEAKER_06 35:47

Very much so. Wow. All right, so the rest of the show is gonna be basically we're gonna we're gonna MST this this video I found. And first of all, I have no idea how this this show escaped my radar. I mean, I used to like there used to be an old show on VHS where they used to get old bands back together, like that had a hit back in like the 80s or 90s, and they get them back together for like one gig or something like that, and and watch the you know, obviously the tensions that broke the band up in the first place, revise. And you know, it was always it's a great show. But I've never I never heard of this show, um, which we will play before we get started.

SPEAKER_07 36:24

Let's let's do our best to appease the the gods of YouTube and whatnot. Let's let's not make it full screen at any point, keep ourselves on, may preferably move it down or something, and then pause it a lot so we can make comments about it.

SPEAKER_06 36:38

Oh, there'll be lots of pausing. There'll be lots of pausing. All right, here we go. Let's see what happens here.

SPEAKER_01 36:44

You know, coming out with a name take a long day.

SPEAKER_06 36:46

We are cool, our music's cool.

SPEAKER_13 36:48

Damn, bandmate name better enough for stupid. I think we ought to be called Chester Polar. Wait, what did he say? Chester Poland? It'd probably be easier if I just got on a drum kit and showed you.

SPEAKER_12 37:12

Pretend you're a TV executive in the mid-2000s. Reality television's king, and your network VH1 has ordered the market on rock and roll nostalgia. You need a new explosive concept. So, what if you locked five famous rock stars in a mansion for four days and told them to form a band, but you didn't tell them who their bandmates would be in until they walked through the door. Well, you'd get is this not the best concept of ever of a TV show?

SPEAKER_07 37:36

Or what? And already having seen the fact that Ted Nugent is in the mix, I can only hope that they picked the other four people they picked are the most degenerate drug users that have ever walked the earth.

SPEAKER_06 37:48

Absolutely. Sebastian Bach. Didn't you already see him? He's a good one.

SPEAKER_07 37:52

Yeah, but I didn't see them all yet, right? I don't know about the anthrax guy. I didn't know he was there. There's one guy I've never seen before.

SPEAKER_06 37:58

One of the guys, I was like, who the hell is that guy? I have no idea who this guy is. But anyway, uh here we go.

SPEAKER_12 38:06

The mid-2000s were a strange time for rock music. The giants of the 70s and 80s were now considered legacy acts. The grunge and alternative movements had faded, and New Metal was on its last legs. Into this landscape stepped VH1. The wave that it kicked off in the early 2000s with the MTV show The Osbornes, and the less celebrated spin-offs like Gene Simmons Rock School, Tommy Lee Goes to College, and Rockstar NXS. The concept was equal parts brilliant and utterly insane. Take five season rock stars known for their equally large talents and egos, put them in a Las Vegas mansion, and give them just 12 days to write, record, and perform as a brand new supergroup. Now here's the crucial twist: none of them knew who they'd be working with. The cast assembled by the producers was an eclectic group of mismatched personalities, a volatile mixed design was seemingly engineered in a lab to create maximum TV drama. First, you had Yeah, they're not fucking around.

SPEAKER_06 38:55

This is insane. I can't you can't write a fucking song in two weeks.

SPEAKER_07 39:00

That's insane. Bringing Ted Nugent into the house with anybody is just asking for some kind of serious confrontation.

SPEAKER_06 39:07

But even just the premise is just so insane. People spend their whole lives writing a hit song, and they want them to pump one out in two weeks, guys. There you go. No pressure.

SPEAKER_12 39:18

Maybe Sebastian Bach, the quintessential 80s hair frontman from Skid Row. Then there was Scott Ian, the stoic goatee guitarist, and the principal architect behind the New York Thrash Metal Legends, Anthrax. On base was Evan Seinfeld of the hardcore band Biohazard, a man also known for his side career in the adult entertainment world. And behind the drum kit sat Jason Bonima, carrying the eternal weight of being the son of Led Zeppelin's John Bonham. And finally, you had the wildcard Ted Nugent, the Motor City Madman, a 70s guitar hero who by 2006 was arguably more famous. That is a good way to put it on political commentary than his music. The man who was tasked with basically managing this group of misfits was none other than legendary rock manager Doc McGee, who would handle giants like Kiss and Molly Crew, and had also previously worked with Sebastian Bacher and that guy's news. He looks like uh Renfield. Look at him. He's this is a garden hose nozzle. My team spent three years going. Because every pressure washer at the market, garden hose nozzle there for a set for either the birth of a legendary band or more likely a train wreck you couldn't look away from. The first few hours inside the Las Vegas mansion were a surreal meet and greet. As each musician arrived, the looks of shock and dawning confusion were palpable.

SPEAKER_07 40:31

Sebastian Bach was damn near pretty, I gotta say.

SPEAKER_06 40:34

Oh yeah. Well, at this at this point, he's not so pretty, but back in the day he was out absolutely time is harsh to us all. But but back in the in his in his prime, all of those guys were pretty. Remember Cinderella, Wasp, uh, you know, all those guys had the poofed out hair and the makeup, and they were all beautiful. Anyway, here we go.

SPEAKER_12 40:53

Hardcore kid from New York later admitted he fully expected to get into a physical altercation with Ted Nugent on day one. Sebastian Bach, meanwhile, arrived with his signature bravado, while Scott Ian seemed to be observing the whole scene with a cynical analytical amusement. Jason Bonham, arguably the most musically pedigreed member, carried a quiet professionalism, likely wondering what he had just signed up for. Despite the obvious culture clashes, the initial energy was surprisingly positive. They were all professionals, and their first instinct was to jam together. Those early sessions Horrible idea. Horrible idea.

SPEAKER_06 41:22

Let's just go get together and jam together. That is you've only got two weeks. I would not recommend wasting any time just jamming together. You might want to come up with some kind of anyway. All right, here we go. You picked the perfect time to pause that guy's face, too. I'd like to add. Yeah, all right.

SPEAKER_07 41:39

There we go.

SPEAKER_12 41:40

Showed flickers of promise as well as a little bit of tension. That process naturally is very ineffective.

SPEAKER_10 41:46

All right, that's that's more like major and Zeppelin. I'm trying to do something more down and don't. No, dude, let's listen to it. See what it's happening. I don't want everyone playing that rifle together like a big monster the whole time.

SPEAKER_07 41:58

Maybe more like what's that? The noge always looks like he's literally ready to bite you. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 42:04

This is, dude, and I've been in so many situations where you get in a room and they're like, yeah, let's all just get together and write music. And it's like, it's it never, never works. Ever.

SPEAKER_07 42:14

I mean, you can actually for the Beatles, but No, no, that's not true.

SPEAKER_06 42:18

They didn't just get into a room and said, let's come up with something. They all brought an idea. You have to have an idea. You have to have the concept of a song. You can't just go, we're gonna just shit something out, unless maybe you're Bob Marley. I think that's kind of how they did it. But but other than that, you gotta have somebody's gotta have an idea for it. They always brought it to the others. And the Beatles, it was a competition. Who could write the best song? Brian.

SPEAKER_07 42:44

You know, who could bring in the best, you know, the garage band and Sling Blade, though they they seem to be able to pretty much just pull it all together at a moment's notice.

SPEAKER_06 42:52

That's true. And that is that is the high quality of uh product you're gonna get by doing that. But how many times they may have practiced that song before. Now you don't know that.

SPEAKER_07 43:00

So I can literally hear that song in my head. That's so it had an effect.

SPEAKER_06 43:04

Hold on, they might play it.

SPEAKER_09 43:05

Hold on. Grab a note and bend it. I can deform and mutilate and beat up and reorganize a chord. That's predictable. That's one four five blue. But you should never avoid E, A, and D just because you've done it a million times. Because it might be the right chords for this moment.

SPEAKER_15 43:17

We're overthinking this.

SPEAKER_11 43:24

Play the Erif, play the Erif, let's see where we go from there. At some point, someone is gonna have to tell someone else that something sucks.

SPEAKER_12 43:30

Nugent's classic rock riffs, Ian's tight thrash rhythms, Seinfeld's aggressive bass, and bottom slunderous drumming started to coalesce. Over it all, Sebastian Bach's soaring vocals tried to find their place. It was a strange musical gumbo, but it was definitely something. Now, the first order of business for any band is a name, and that became their initial creative struggle. And it was something they really wouldn't figure out until much later in the series. The process was as chaotic as the group itself. In a moment of eagerness, Bach suggested Fist, explaining it symbolized the five of them coming together. And here's one I really like that hand.

SPEAKER_07 43:58

That's not a good idea.

SPEAKER_06 44:00

I think that's the best one they're gonna have. I swear to God, that's the best one they're gonna get. But anyway, here we go. Do we get more hair on the knuckle?

SPEAKER_11 44:10

Hi, I'm Jason from Fist. We're going out tonight to rock in Vegas. What if it was Fistful? Fistful. I don't know. I don't, dude. I don't know.

SPEAKER_12 44:18

And you can't keep changing your name. It's a cluster. Evan Seinfeld, leaning into his punk roots, offered up God War, which was raw dog spelled backwards. A suggestion that was quickly shot down. At one point, Bosch Energy started screaming.

SPEAKER_07 44:30

What's that? They should have gone with the shocker.

SPEAKER_12 44:35

It gets much worse. Wait. Savage animal over and over. Okay, check this out.

SPEAKER_22 44:40

Savage animal.

SPEAKER_12 44:41

Savage animal.

SPEAKER_22 44:42

No, that's it. It rolls off the tongue. Savage animal. You should call it no. No because you guys know. Savage animal. And that's what rock the roll is. It's a beast. It rolls off the tongue. Savage animal. I don't know, whatever. Name. When I say the name of it, just give me five seconds. I'm not saying a word. Okay. Savage animal, dude. It rolls off the tongue. It sounds like a banner fight in 1980. I like something to have good dictionary. I like it to roll off the tongue. Savage animal. It rolls off my tongue. That's the only reason I really like it.

SPEAKER_06 45:16

It's a redundance.

SPEAKER_22 45:27

I like the name. Maybe that speaks for my ego, you know.

SPEAKER_12 45:30

Finally, as they were debating the process, Scott Ian noted it was a goddamn democracy, something Bach immediately seized on. He shortened the phrase to something that perfectly captured the beautiful disaster they were a part of Democracy. The band had a name that reflected the damned if you do, damned if you don't nature of their televised creation. While the show aimed to give you a window into the creative process between musicians, there was also a lot of rock Yankees.

SPEAKER_07 45:51

After. Was this before or after? Oh, way after. All right, so after, I think. Okay, so then Nugent's gonna be all on board with anything with the word damn in it.

SPEAKER_06 45:59

And ocracy. Yeah. Now I see I told you fist would have been way better. Damn ocracy? That's horrible. That's a horrible name for a band. This has another 20 minutes to go, but it's really more of the same of just hilarious stuff to laugh at. We could we could do it next episode for sure, but uh we could do a two-parter come back and finish it. Yeah, yeah, for sure. We'll definitely get back into this next episode because it is hilarious. It is a great premise for a show, too.

SPEAKER_07 46:26

It's I'm telling you, I wouldn't arguably better than putting UFC fighters in a house and making them live together to get a contract. Absolutely. Although that show did result in one of the funniest, and I know it's staged, but still it made me laugh. So in one of the episodes of that show, uh it's team red and team blue, and one, you know, one guy's eating the other guy's food from the other team, and he gets so mad about it that he buys himself some sushi, peas all over his own sushi, puts it in the fridge, and the guy eats it. And while he's eating it, he comes up and he's like, So, uh, how is that? Is it is it juicy, you know? And a fight breaks out, of course, but just a great scene. Hey man, you're a freak and you want to pee on your own food, you're legally allowed to do so. God bless America. Yeah, that's true. That's what's anybody wants to argue that they can call it 904-549-9024 and give me a piece of their mind or just leave us a nasty message. Lube Lubnik. You want to hear your voice on the internet?

SPEAKER_06 47:19

Give it a shot. There you go. He was a good fighter, too. I forget his name, but yeah, he definitely did that. That was hilarious. All right, guys. I guess we're done with this episode. We'll catch you next week or next time or whatever the heck the next thing is, and uh, and uh we'll see you then. Have a good one. Yep. Thanks, guys.
