Let's go.

That's cool.

Rebecca Mistereggen (18:05.006)
Coming to you live from Walmart. I'm scared of people of Walmart are in full force here today. I love Walmart. People look at me funny when I say that, but have you seen all the funny people that are at Walmart? I'm sorry, person at Walmart, but it is funny.

Have you ever gone to the website? Was it People of Walmart or?

Ugh, don't do it. Just don't. You know what?

Just go to Walmart and they're all there.

You'll do curling in Norway. You should get curling jerseys there for everybody. Yeah, but you could get the Daily Mojo Ormanent, I guess it's called. How much does it cost you?

Rebecca Mistereggen (18:31.416)
Burlinger.

Or actually.

Brad Staggs (18:41.237)
It's like 15 bucks.

So it's similar to 15 bucks or it is 15 bucks.

I'm going to make one of like a Norgs one. I'm going to make a Norgs.

No, you're not. No, you're not.

You are.

Brad Staggs (18:58.784)
I'm buying it. I want the first one.

How much you charging for those? Yes.

I don't know.

much as she wants.

Hey, if it's probably too late. No, I can get this in the mail real quick I get you an at the mic show a little little winter cap there if you just send me little beanie. That's what's cool

Rebecca Mistereggen (19:16.334)
Why haven't I gotten a beanie? It's cold here.

You can't say Beaner because that's a

much you think it costs to mail something from Texas to Norway? More than the cost of this, I bet.

I don't know.

worth it.

Rebecca Mistereggen (19:29.026)
I am worth it.

I'm to get the baby.

yeah, you could wrap her up in that. And then every Friday, I want to see it on her head and facing the camera. Okay, then I might.

It could be repurposed as a Nort cover.

So I already know what I'm getting my mom for Christmas here. It kind of stumbled into my lap the other day when my stepbrother was cleaning out some stuff and he stumbled on a mixtape that I had made for my mom in 1988.

Rebecca Mistereggen (20:00.59)
What? That's a year after I was born. 1988. was born in

Shut your mouth.

Right, right. Thank you. So I was 11 years old. This may be the first mixtape that I ever made. 25 of your favorite oldie tunes. I want to point it. Oh my gosh, I got to point this out. This is exactly what I was saying about writing Rebecca's name on that. I ran out of space down here at the bottom. I had to squeeze it. Boy, it's not focusing. Anyway, so, either am I. That's welcome to my world.

Neither are you.

So oldies, I made my mom an oldies tape back in January of 1988. I'm so proud of myself. I'm so grateful that my stepbrother found this. And there you go. There's your Christmas present. It cost me absolutely nothing, mom. Hope you like it. Hope you have something that'll play the tape for you.

Rebecca Mistereggen (20:48.738)
This is my Christmas present and she's expensive, I tell you.

She doing okay though, right? Everything's good?

She's doing great! mean, except for the fact that she does not want to sleep.

like during the day or at night or any.

day all night like we had a couple of rough you know days it's coming well she does really have a rhythm it's just that you know it's not seven weeks so

Brad Staggs (21:16.556)
Were you that way?

I was a kind baby just like her. She's very kind. She barely screams.

But did you sleep?

And did you sleep?

Yeah, I think I did. She does not want to though. Like she's fighting to keep her eyes open.

KEITH MALINAK (21:25.826)
Bye.

Mom?

KEITH MALINAK (21:31.64)
So you're gonna have Christmas traditions with the little one and it'll be so exciting. But I don't recommend what they do in Switzerland where they apparently still decorate Christmas trees with real candles, keeping a tradition alive that's lasted for hundreds of years. This just kind of creeps me out. mean, maybe it's because I don't trust myself to pull this off, but you light it down there. Watch this thing. Watch this.

Like, like I'm running for the exit at this point. Like, I'm not waiting to be part of the stampede. and, and just spoiler alert. that's cool. It's very cool. However, it just doesn't seem like the best use of fire. I, don't know. I don't know. I just don't trust open flames period, but there it is. I mean, look, it's settled down and everything's fine. Now I don't know how you go in and you blow out the candles after the fact. I just.

That's probably not a real tree.

think it's made out

something fireproof.

KEITH MALINAK (22:35.374)
something fireproof. Okay, yeah.

and these flash string to light all that stuff.

to noodle that out.

Okay, yeah, all right. Yep. Yep. Good job. It does look kind of cool. Very cool, actually. Now, let me see if I have this tab open because Rebecca tweeted something out. I don't know. Was it last week? When was it? Let me see if I... here we go. Yeah.

That looks cool.

Brad Staggs (22:48.94)
Don't Swiss.

Rebecca Mistereggen (23:04.654)
a lot so I don't know which one

Here we go. Is this right here school principals in as a crush whoosh? What is it? Sure, I know I have effectively banned Christmas services What's going on there only third grade is allowed to attend this year under absurdly strict rules No Christmas gospel no candles and the priests can't even be called a priest. He must be referred to as a host Yeah, the health traditions die one euphemism at a time. What's going on there in Norway?

Well, we're erasing Christmas exactly like every the bulk societies are raising women, you know, like you change the language. They started with changing the language. So it wasn't really Christmas. This was winter and winter festivities. Yeah. Yeah. And and yada yada yada.

Winter break on school calendars here.

And now it's not a priest, it's a host, even if you can go to church where you can't hear the Christmas gospel because multiculturalism, which means Islam.

Brad Staggs (23:59.529)
Sorry.

Wait, did you literally just make gonads?

Go net. Yeah, go down. Down, basically.

Hang on a second. No, we need to, no, we're going to learn a Norwegian phrase.

week. I think I just did. I think we just did.

Rebecca Mistereggen (24:16.489)
You're gonna remember that one.

I'm gonna remember that one, yes.

Go Ned. It's two words. Go.

Just keep saying it. I'm good with that.

good. Keep moving. All right. So I mean, in Kansas City, they got a city manager that sent out a memo and said, you can't be putting up like, like nativity scenes and, know, Christmas religious scenes.

Brad Staggs (24:40.418)
What's the nativity

Right, you're gonna have to just stop. That's what you said. I shut up. so but they're they're Kwanzaa live on which I mean, that's just weird stuff right there. I was trying to this.

What's wrong with a good old made-up holiday?

think you just answered it for yourself there.

that every holiday is made up.

KEITH MALINAK (25:07.982)
here we go. No, this is gonna be good. Let's hear this. No, go for it. What? Go for it, Mr. Hallmark.

Quans and more so than mo-

Brad Staggs (25:15.496)
well, they all are. mean, every other. Hey,

I want you to finish this thought. I am taking a big.

I know what you were thinking there.

Wait, what happened?

There's been too many in a row, I'm sorry, it just has.

KEITH MALINAK (25:31.586)
What happened there? wait, hold on. Are you five minutes ago? Because Brad and I, we already captured that and moved on.

No, you said something about finishing.

my gosh. I swear, I don't know what chicken and the egg. Did Brad create Rebecca and Kelly or were Rebecca and Kelly just themselves and they're just like, Brad, I don't understand this. What is happening? Like I can't even have a conversation with actual words.

I didn't create anybody. just.

I created somebody, but she's right here.

KEITH MALINAK (26:05.782)
Yeah, now I say this, I say this, and yet I'm about to push a button here and I'm going to just be a part of the party here. think. no. Okay. I wanted you to play this game here. It's called carefully now. Carefully.

Help me off.

KEITH MALINAK (26:31.628)
Blank, making you gag. Here's why.

Go on,

I get I get on my soapbox of maturity

why. Here's why guys. Go net.

going on. Thank you. It's blank making you gag. Here's why. Pencils down, everybody. Holy crap. Okay. So any guess? You know what? I don't want any guesses. I don't want any guesses here. I just thought this was funny because I had this story ready to talk to Brad about, hang on. And then I thought, you know what? I'm a,

KEITH MALINAK (27:10.762)
See, I have it printed up right here. Here's the story. I had no intention on putting it on the screen. And then I looked at it and I saw the headlines like, yeah, we're going to do it this way. So anyway, it's a Harbor Freight. Harbor Freight tools making you gag. Here's why they smell so bad. I don't know that that helped anything.

Wow!

I don't know, did that help anything?

No, your chills making me gag. It smells so bad.

Here's why.

Rebecca Mistereggen (27:41.816)
God.

We're only 17 minutes into this adventure.

I even been here for all that time.

Hey, be the bitch hero.

So I had to ask you, yeah, I like that, be the bitch hero. Bitch hero, that's a good band name. So I wanted to ask you, you have quite a collection of tools.

Brad Staggs (28:03.886)
Who are you looking at? Me or her? You.

You have a collection of tools, Brad.

I at all. He's just, you know.

Thank you.

Do you use Harbor Freight tools? do. Do they smell bad? Do your tools smell bad?

Brad Staggs (28:15.886)
I I actually like Harbor Freight.

Brad Staggs (28:25.386)
Only sometimes.

my god, I'm not prepared for this.

No, hold on sorry, there's a duck with your name on it there's a

No.

Brad Staggs (28:38.942)
No, do they smell? don't know. they smell? I've never noticed that they smell funny. I've never noticed it smelling funny.

Okay. don't know. This article just goes on to talk about like, I'm in the Chinese. That smells. And this is what I want to know. What do they smell like? What is the, I don't understand.

Why do they smell bad? Hector.

KEITH MALINAK (29:04.718)
You know what? You know, hang on a second. I don't know that it. I used to play OK, so my neighborhood growing up was kind of it was like, I don't know, half a mile from a Chinese restaurant now that you mentioned this and the wind would blow when you the wind would be blowing a certain way and you couldn't play outside. I'm having flashbacks now and I'm kind of traumatized and yeah.

I don't know that the hammer thing

Does your harbor tools smell like Chinese food?

I see that Wade says that he scrubs his to make sure they don't smell, but if he uses them in a weird manner, they stink for sure.

Yeah, if you use it. If you use a tool in a situation where you shouldn't be using it, it's going to smell funny.

Rebecca Mistereggen (29:53.208)
Kind of like that gay club that you went to.

How's Stanley doing? You've been talking with him? In fact, Ben, I gotta find this. Let me try to...

I love your gay voice.

Stop it. Hang on. Let me look up here.

I feel like I'm on holiday in Los Angeles.

KEITH MALINAK (30:13.032)
Call it a vacation. This is America, okay?

It does depend on the job, of course, as Wade.

Hang on a second. Hold on a second. Hold on. See?

Where are the kiddies?

Hang on a second. Is this the right time?

Rebecca Mistereggen (30:29.826)
Kids are busy.

Nope, there's, there's, I don't know, that's J. Pritzker. He's he's. But this, hang on. Hang on a second. I'm trying to find what are you looking for? Your mom? Hang on.

it is, it?

Rebecca Mistereggen (30:55.76)
Yes, that was good.

So Ben Steiner makes these great memes. There's I guess Matilda this Thursday's deep dive on at the mic show is so informative It is the map quest of our day. Yes. That's what should have been in the thumbnail MapQuest had a lot of map quest talk, but I thought he meant wait what is happening here?

Hey, while you're looking for that, let me ask the Viking. Do you remember Lily from the AT &T commercials?

no, please don't do this.

No.

Brad Staggs (31:26.242)
You don't you didn't have Lily and the AT &T commercials. We were just looking at her and trying to remember if everybody else remember her having huge norks back when she was doing the AT &T commercials.

We don't have AT &T.

Well, you are because I mean that right there The comer I mean she I just don't remember those being that big

you're missing out.

I was alone, you know.

KEITH MALINAK (31:54.702)
Wait, is there a screen I'm supposed to put up here? I'm still looking for a...

There's a big old Nork screen right there. mean, you if you're unless you're allergic to them now.

this.

I'm glad I'm not allergic to norks that would have made my life very

Living hell wouldn't it now? It's just it's Jesus. She just had these She did all the ATE really you guys don't have AT &T What the hell is the matter?

KEITH MALINAK (32:14.718)
What's wrong with you?

things where do you want to start?

Wow, no kidding. What kind of, what is your cell service?

Helle Nord.

Sorry. One call.

Rebecca Mistereggen (32:27.176)
Telenor, Telia, OneCall... Well, everything's really Telenor and Telia, but...

It's the language it really is.

Hey, do you guys have Campbell's soup there?

Excuse me, what now?

Mmm

Rebecca Mistereggen (32:49.326)
can't. Camel soup, no. Camel

Not Campbell. Camel soups. You've never had camel soup?

No.

man, Camel's good. Rebecca, y'all.

It's the humps that make the difference.

Rebecca Mistereggen (33:01.142)
a lot of life. I'm contemplating just applying for a political refugee in the United States of America.

Okay, you know what though? You need to be thinking. Look Ben in the chat. Look at that man. Stanley is in the inbox, Keith. Thank you so much. Stanley. Stanley's in the inbox, okay. Brad and I agree, a top hat always brings a little class to everything. Look at that.

in the

doesn't get anywhere.

Brad Staggs (33:28.11)
It does. That is a very.

Do you like

Has Stanley's little dressing on it, doesn't it?

Wait, I don't know what that means. No follow ups! No follow ups!

Hold on a sec.

Brad Staggs (33:45.32)
I'll be right back, as I do.

No follow ups to Stanley's dressing. Holy shit. Okay, so what I was going to ask you is we have a thing here that we I'm surprised. I thought by now it would have a lot more media attention was the Campbell's soup guy talking about a 3D printed chicken. But do you guys have any? But you don't have a Campbell's soup to worry about over there. I don't know. Is your food over there? Like is it?

You guys don't do the preservatives. That's just an American problem,

you but not as much as you guys but funny enough this whole like buvier thing that you know the the toxin that they give the cows to make them stop burping they call it climate milk over

no, really they're doing that stuff? Come on.

Rebecca Mistereggen (34:35.37)
No, but they stopped because the cows are dying, right?

This happens when you mess with nature.

When you put poison in somebody's food, they die anyway. And when they can't burp, can you imagine like just even not being able to pass gas? Can you imagine how painful that is for these animals? Anyway.

that's what was killing them? that's horrific. And I bet the same asses that were pushing that stuff are the same ones that claim to be, you know, a pro animal and whatnot.

healing them.

Rebecca Mistereggen (35:06.466)
Well, what happened was that there was a lot of resistance towards this in Norway and they the the big the big company that was the we have two companies for milk. One of them denied that that their numbers were going down, even though everybody was boycotting them. And now it's come to the point where the cows are dying. They're like, yeah, our sales has gone to ships. Well, we already knew that despite the fact that they were denying it because we're all boycotting your asses.

But now that has brought up a different type of conversation because now all the meat supplier, well, the big meat supplier, what is it called again? I can't remember right now. the company. They are saying, well, yes, we have been putting preservatives in the food that's not needed there. We are going to go through everything and stop doing that because when you need you don't need preservatives in bacon. Like what the actual fuck.

We don't need.

I thought your audio dropped out. thought how did she do that? I should try that.

Is that what you're telling me?

Rebecca Mistereggen (36:12.078)
preservatives in salted meat. Like it's not necessary. Like why are you doing that? So

Grok illustrated the.

The cow exploded.

aww, it's nice seeing you. I mean, can read about the boulevard scandal in Denmark, because that's where all the cows are dying, and then a couple of cows have died in Norway as well, and-

Proxy.

Brad Staggs (36:35.532)
It's making a video now. Grock is making a video of a cow exploding. That's the best thing about this. can ask Grock to make a video of something or to make an image of something and then it'll just offer to make a video and you're like, all right, here.

What?

KEITH MALINAK (36:50.67)
can you make it bigger? Bet you heard that one right there, Brad? There it is. my gosh. It's like a mascot. He looks like he's fine with it. And he's like, It's like Bevo, man, after like the pyrotechnics out of Texas football game go bad.

I was just going to say.

Brad Staggs (36:59.672)
That was

reminds me of

Brad Staggs (37:08.494)
It reminds me of when Mars attacks. When the cows, you know, were there's apparently there's a, there's an audio to that. No. Wait a Is that a boy cow or a girl cow?

yeah, that's right.

Rebecca Mistereggen (37:23.276)
There's no boy cow that's called an ox.

Well, it's got horns. That's a boy cow, right?

What a bull.

Rebecca Mistereggen (37:33.23)
Some cows have horns.

They do?

Hey, Lucky Charms has a new flavor. Just wanna throw that Who does?

My favorite cows are in outside of Houston actually.

Well, you shouldn't call the sorority

Rebecca Mistereggen (37:47.79)
I'm serious. If you ever been to George Ranch, like when you see they show you how they cleaned the cows from this little parasite or whatever back in the day. Growworm? No. They jump in it and it's just they look they're so happy splashing the water around. It's absolutely beautiful to watch.

That's where the cattle,

What the hell you cattle mutilations were happening. Wasn't it? Yes, maybe I think it was right out. Are you not familiar with cattle mutilations?

no. No.

Rebecca Mistereggen (38:22.266)
you mean the alien? Yes. Yeah.

that we had a lot of those around Texas and I think it was around that area or was it was it Austin that was that

That I don't know.

I've already answered and I was shot down. But yeah, it wasn't near Houston.

I'm just saying George Ranch is a historical ranch in Texas that takes you through ever since Texas became Texas and through the years and it's actually the one ranch that is preserved. Historically, it's beautiful and it takes you through all the times like from the 1800s through, you know,

KEITH MALINAK (38:48.408)
Huh.

Brad Staggs (38:57.032)
Can I point something out, Keith, that you didn't bring up yesterday that you should have?

Please do tell

Tulsi Gabbard.

I forgot to do that. Yeah, it was it. You know what? I caught that after the fact. was just pretty cool. It sounded like a movie like Tulsi Gabbard and her staff went into this warehouse to retrieve all the JFK files.

from the CIA. It's a CIA warehouse.

KEITH MALINAK (39:23.0)
Right, right, and I want to know what the hell else is in there. Yeah. That's what I was going to ask.

Why does the CIA have a secret warehouse?

Thank you.

Thank

KEITH MALINAK (39:42.602)
No, she's the director of national intelligence. all that stuff's under her.

Yeah, easy. She's well, no, she's as a director of national intelligence who's under her CIA? Mm-hmm nsc

And yeah, all that good stuff.

NSC and NSA. don't know. I can't. don't even know what the damn hierarchy is anymore because there's too many agencies involved in this crap and you can't keep it all.

I'm going to type what is under Tulsi, mean, DNI, Director of National Intelligence, Let's see, and it says you got your, let's see, CIA, NSA, DIA, FBI, but all sorts of fun stuff there. So there you go.

Brad Staggs (40:32.274)
And her principal deputy is Aaron Lucas. She also commands her own US Army Reserve Unit.

What? Wait, hold on. Is that because she has a military background? It's not because of her role with DNI.

Under Tulsi Gabbard, director of National Intelligence, who oversees America's intelligence community, are the heads and personnel of 18 other agencies, including CIA, NSA, Defense Intelligence Agency, with her principal deputy being Aaron Lucas, while she also commands her own U.S. Army Reservoir. I don't know if that's...

So Rebecca, does the Norwegian government lie to you as often as our government lies to us?

Yeah, probably.

Brad Staggs (41:11.586)
That's what governments do.

That's their job, they lie.

They lie like dogs.

I had this video here. This guy, see this is exact, this is.

No way, Tulsi does not have a staff. Wow. He says if she has a staff, I'd take a look.

KEITH MALINAK (41:24.355)
What?

KEITH MALINAK (41:27.64)
No, said the people that should work for her.

some of the staff.

So this guy's got a Waffle House menu from 2009. You're going to be really sad here in a second, all of you. Yeah, it's

Is that out of focus or is just it's out of focus? thank you. Listen, if anyone tells you that inflation isn't that bad that the prices aren't that high that like, oh, things are not as bad, bro. This is a Waffle House menu from 2000 2009. All right.

Here we go.

KEITH MALINAK (42:00.91)
Alright, so 16 years ago. Now, don't forget I had on the wall here behind me until I ripped it down today for this exercise, a menu from about a year ago. So this menu here is 15 years removed from this one that he's going to go over. And this is going to be quite an exercise because when I saw, when I took this home, I thought, boy, 30 years from now, I'm going to look back at this menu and think, wow.

Look at those cheap prices. Holy crap, we're gonna go through this.

An all-star meal was $5.99.

Okay, now I gotta switch tabs here, hang on. $5.99, okay.

Or how about I just get

KEITH MALINAK (42:46.766)
All-star menu, all-star breakfast there is $12.75. Holy sh- But you can't see this. It's got a line through. It says $16.50 and they have a line through it for whatever that's worth. Only $12.75. Okay, so I don't know if it was ever $16.50, but they've got it on here. Okay, anyway, continue please.

Holy shit though!

Brad Staggs (43:13.422)
$5.99! $7.80 was crossed out, because that was expensive. $7.80 was expensive. $5.99, that shit got you two eggs, four slices of toast, grits or hash browns, your choice of biscuit and gravy. I don't even think that they have biscuits and gravy anymore. You can add a dollar, 25 for some coffee, shit came with the fucking sausages. what? Dude, they had a dollar menu?

12 seconds.

KEITH MALINAK (43:38.605)
got it!

KEITH MALINAK (43:42.446)
Alright, Dollar Man, let's look at the Dollar Menu here. I got news for you. There is no Dollar Menu on this thing at all.

There is none.

Brad Staggs (43:51.182)
It's a $5 menu.

But if you look at the prices there, see, orange juice is $1.

The dollar menu is like four dollars. Cheese omelette.

Let's see. I don't even see orange juice on here. What's the problem here? I see you can add orange juice over here for three bucks.

Orange juice at the top of the dollar menu.

KEITH MALINAK (44:11.754)
I'm saying on my menu and then I'm holding.

Well, none of us can see that.

I got it. You're just going to take my word for it. $3. Yep. $3. There it is. There it is. Simply juices.

the

300 to what? 2009 2009 what the fuck is going on? said, I just can't stop looking at this fucking menu. 2009 Waffle House menu, man. 2000. Taking quarter pound.

Brad Staggs (44:52.79)
You're teaching the poor child new words.

No, no, she can't hear. Does she have earbuds in there? No?

No, but I speak to her in Norwegian, so you know, it's fine.

But you're live in America someday, right? He's gonna need to learn English because, well, we're better. But we're gonna help you pick out a state to move to. no, we're not.

Texas is my state, Keith.

KEITH MALINAK (45:22.016)
you know i got news for you the muslims beat you here

No, actually did you not see that both Texas and Florida has designated care to be a

terrorists. Yep. Yep. Yep. He's gonna save us.

So I mean, still am I, Texas is my place.

okay a dollar forty five hash browns in two thousand nine three dollars on here if you don't get anything on

Brad Staggs (45:52.11)
Cheeseburgers 610.

six, 10 for a cheeseburger, ladies and gentlemen. And let's see, 15 years removed from that, a cheeseburger.

gonna go try to lay her down cuz she's very like so I'll be right back

How much did he say the cheeseburger was? What? This says five dollars. What? How did he go to the whole meal?

$6.

Brad Staggs (46:13.678)
Neil, go put her to bed. 640.99 cents. 10 bucks for a pork chop. 10 bucks. 640.

I don't even think I think the only thing that's the most expensive thing is a pork chop for $10, bro.

Are you serious right now? Where are we at in the world, We're like an all-star meal and today cost like $13.

Bro.

KEITH MALINAK (46:45.038)
He's right. He's right. Okay. So there you go.

And how much was it then?

What did you say?

We said 13.

Yeah, he said 13 is his $12.75 on here, but back then it was cheaper. What was it? $5.75, something like that? I don't know. Y'all remember. How much did he say a pork chop was there? $10? I even see. I don't see pork chops on here at all.

Brad Staggs (47:10.797)
Not like that.

Wait a minute, how much is the All-Star Steak and Eggs now?

steak and eggs.

Uhhhh...

On this menu, I don't even know what year this menu is, but it's 1040.

Brad Staggs (47:31.01)
Texas bacon, sausage, egg and cheese melt is $7.90.

Brad Staggs (47:45.39)
So this thing, so whatever, I don't know what.

I don't know what year this one is,

Nothing's cheaper, that's for sure.

What is, mean, seriously, what is happening?

We have spent the last, gosh, let's see, how far back do you wanna go? I mean, seriously, I was starting to answer and then I thought, no, don't go back to 2008, go back to 2001. No, don't go back to 2001, go back to 1979. Like how far back do you wanna go? When was the gold, I mean, we could keep unraveling this bitch, you know?

Brad Staggs (48:27.596)
Look at that. There's the national debt today. hang on and it's not I thought it was supposed to go down but

You mean, wait, what was the word we just used?

I don't know, I'm just going to continue with you go down now.

Okay, what do you got there?

you go down now. 30 billion dollars. At least it's not like it warped speed moving like it was but damn. And what does that mean? Because no one's been able to explain it to me yet. That's $112,000 for every single person in America. What does that mean?

KEITH MALINAK (48:49.858)
out

KEITH MALINAK (49:04.91)
Like if we paid it off, like if-

Who are we paying off?

Yeah, multitude.

Nobody, no one can answer that either.

Yeah, when you look up a graph like that, it's like this weird pie chart with stuff that the Garabare is going to have explain.

Brad Staggs (49:20.046)
The number one and the number one one person thing on there is the fed we owe like a shit ton of money to the fed I don't know. Uh huh. That's what I think. This is all a giant foster clock that there this that's a scam because remember that it was supposed to be cats living with dogs and blood in the street if we ever got to what a trillion and now we're at 38 trillion dollars and there's no sign

How's that happen?

KEITH MALINAK (49:48.878)
mean, honestly, if you went to anybody on the street, myself included, and you say, hey, what's that mean?

No one knows. Yeah, did we just take the national debt and divide it by the number of people in the country? you're to include illegals in that? because yeah, and then, so, and then we, we get doggy in there and Elon Musk, who is going to clean and legit did find a bunch of stuff that really needs to go. And then they caught all kinds of hell for it. They beat the shit out of the guy who's leading the charge.

You know what? should have been my I was on with Steve Dase over on the blaze. That's right today. I was a guest over there and I should have I want to change my answer because Well, the question was Realistically see that's the thing. There is no realistic answer. No realistically. What could the Republican Congress? Get on to Trump's desk before Christmas and and I right and I said, you know, they should go with the SAVE Act for

What was the question?

Brad Staggs (50:47.437)
Nothing.

KEITH MALINAK (50:53.184)
shoring up our elections. You know, you want to be a federal election, then you better make sure that your state does voter ID, no federal posts on mail-in ballots, stuff like that. Eighty-five percent of Americans want voter ID. This would be a slam dunk for the base for independence. Let's go. But and it would benefit Republicans because if it's a much more secure election, one stands to reason that the

benefit is going to be to the Republican Party. but no, you're right. should be all of the crap that Musk found should be absolutely cut out. And don't I don't let it come back up for the next cycle. That's what they're to do.

And they and and and it was was so I can't I can't well the reason that people that anybody out in the great unwashed didn't like it or didn't go along with this because Trump And you know Elon Musk he's just Trump Junior and that's the only that's the only reason they didn't if it was anybody else he'd be like yeah, we gotta get rid of that and then they ran him out of town on a rail and

I'll bet you anything. They're quietly reinstating all the shit like USAID. I bet that stuff is like getting it's birthing anew under some other stupid name and it should because

You're making me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

Brad Staggs (52:24.716)
You turn green?

Yeah, I do. Look, by the way, it's really sad to see that little empty box down there where Rebecca should be, but the problem is... Don't Sleep. Don't sleep. So what I was going to tell you is the reason I left your box, your square on the screen there, the reason I left it up there is because it's down below the fold here.

here but you know she doesn't want to

refer to her as an empty box.

Brad Staggs (52:45.665)
I kept your box

KEITH MALINAK (52:52.704)
I can't see when you come back. So I'm always going to have to leave that up there or else you could be sitting down there for 15 minutes waiting for me to acknowledge you and see you down there. So do you see all the space down there that's hidden from view?

I can see down the box.

Brad Staggs (53:07.776)
Yes, I can see in her box.

that's not what I was saying at all. Why isn't the baby girl not sleeping? What's going on here? Hold on a second.

that's what I was looking for.

Brad Staggs (53:17.705)
Hey!

quiet with rain playing on my phone and not breathe to make her sleep.

Okay, so have you and I ever talked about the Ferber method for babies getting them to sleep? I'm about to pull you down. Have you ever done the Ferber method? Do know what that is? Have we talked about this? All right, so the baby when she's having trouble sleeping, are you going to let her cry when to come in, get her and stuff?

Furburger method, What's a furburger?

Brad Staggs (53:41.624)
once.

Brad Staggs (53:50.091)
Thank

Sometimes I have to let her cry, Keith.

Yeah, okay, right. No, no, no, no, no, that's good. That's good So what you do is the firmer method is and it's worked like a charm. I swear he can't handle just a conversation So what you do is the baby will cry. Okay, and and so you go in there after like a minute Okay, and you soothe her and you're getting to go back to sleep and then you leave and then she cries again And you let you let her cry for like two minutes. I'm probably butchering this right?

And then you come back and then maybe you double it. I think it's four minutes, eight minutes and whatever. And before you know it, she's given up hope, you know? And she realizes, mom ain't coming back to put me back to sleep. But it worked like a charm on the kids. And so I'm telling you, it's tough love, but they learned to sleep. And now Ezra doesn't even wake up when his alarm clock shakes his bed, shakes the house, wakes the neighbors, wakes the next zip code up. Dude won't wake up. And it's like, have fun in the Air Force, bro.

now she's up there.

Brad Staggs (54:50.102)
Move over a little bit. Yeah.

She's looking down on you.

We're all looking. Hold on, let me let me pull you down and then I'll put you back in. There we go. Now you're.

They're all looking down on me.

Rebecca Mistereggen (55:07.822)
You always like to be on top, don't you?

It makes me feel superior.

You

I'm glad you answered that one.

For burgers.

KEITH MALINAK (55:19.912)
Okay, where was I go? play your Gen X thing. Where's your Gen X video? It was not on the air was not on the air yesterday. Are you sure? Yes, we watched it. Okay, ladies and gentlemen in the chat, first of all, thank you for being a part. Please chime in if you saw the Gen Xer video yesterday that Brad played before the show for Kelly and myself. And then I said, hey, we need that for tomorrow. And so it's tomorrow today.

I hope you're not confused, but I am. And I'm saying, hey, let's watch it now. And he's like, we watched it already. Yes, we did, but the audience didn't, right?

Was that us? I have it.

You got it? OK. I'm just waiting to see if anybody chimes in and says, hey.

If you have enough installation in the closet there, you can hear him. He waited 20 years for the boomers to retire only to be told.

Rebecca Mistereggen (56:09.974)
Huh.

KEITH MALINAK (56:14.818)
Wait, pause it, pause it, pause it, pause it. right. Frederator4951 and Jill, I got people saying, I got it, okay, if you saw it, what? That's one thing. Hold on, did you see it here with us yesterday?

See, Jill Johnson said we watch too. We're playing it. We're playing it. Spent the entire weekend alone at age nine. He treats the cloud the same way he treats horoscopes with confusion and deep distrust. He once tried therapy. It didn't go well. Everything's just super. Can't you see the joy leaking out of my face? Yeah. So how much does Big Pharma pay you to get guys like me on?

Yeah.

Brad Staggs (57:03.886)
He grew up on microwave dinners in Mountain Dew, which is why he now has to take tums five times a day. He doesn't meditate. He blasts grunge until the emotions go numb. He still drinks from garden hoses from time to time. Not because he's thirsty, but because it tastes like danger. His approach to fixing technology is simple. Blow on it first, hit it second.

You need to put that-

Brad Staggs (57:30.7)
He still refers to restarting a song on Spotify as... re-initiate... His wardrobe hasn't changed since 94. Faded band tee, flannel, cargo shorts, and sneakers that are old enough to drink. Boomers respond with anger. Millennials respond with anxiety. And him? Couldn't care less. He still gets emotional walking past abandoned malls, because those places raised him better than anyone else did.

You want tape?

Brad Staggs (57:58.606)
Yes! suspects the government is lying, corporations are evil, and the wifi is listening. Yes! But he's too tired to give a damn. Enjoy the soundtrack of my misery. Yep. Boring as hell. He's the middle child of history, overlooked, underappreciated, and ignored his entire life. But he's used to it. He is... the most Gen X man in the world. I don't always drink, but when I do, it's to give even less of a fuck.

YES!

YEP

That's right. I've got a problem here actually that needs dealing with. That's fair. Texas pecan brown sugar bourbon empty.

You've got more than one.

Brad Staggs (58:43.532)
What the hell do your people not send you booze?

vodka. wing Gretzky number 99 bottle.

People send you guys booze?

hell yeah!

Brad Staggs (58:56.862)
I've sent me a coconut flavored siesta key rum.

People send me booze.

was like.

Did you say boobs or booze?

Boo.

KEITH MALINAK (59:06.318)
Do people send you boobs? That's gotta be... So hang on a second, hold on a second. Like how much does it cost to send alcohol to Norway?

I would like it if people sent me boobs too.

Rebecca Mistereggen (59:15.231)
I don't know.

I tell you, I'll make you deal.

Mm-mm. Don't do it. Just say no. Say no. Say no. He's gonna send you booze if you send him boobs.

no, had the other way. I was gonna do it the other way around, but you're right. Your way is better, Your way is much better.

But looking at that video and him drinking from the garden house made me think about this real lifestyle the other day, which was kind of funny because it was a four-year-old with her whole face in a rain pond and the mom saying, why did I spend a year sterilizing bottles for this? Right.

Brad Staggs (59:52.63)
Well, and that's you know what you don't you don't get any immunity if you don't get out there and rub dirt in it

true.

It's that's absolutely true. And there's a lot of truth to be had in YouTube shorts. I've discovered the joy of YouTube shorts.

It should be a bumper sticker.

But there's a lot of truth in YouTube shorts. Yeah. Well, it is because there is.

KEITH MALINAK (01:00:18.306)
Yeah, I drink from the garden hose because I'm too lazy to go into the house when I'm out doing yard work. I mean, look, I'm still here. I'm almost 50. I'm still fine. And I drink that stuff all the time. don't have a problem. Yeah, I don't have any kind of lasting effects from drinking out of the water hose. Yep. All right. So did you tell you did you talk about this? This is another question. Did we talk about

say you're fine.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:00:38.839)
Really?

KEITH MALINAK (01:00:47.49)
Brad's dying squirrel in the vulture. Was that on air or was that off air? I don't know.

I'm pretty sure that I did not talk about that here because I did I felt bad because I didn't kill the squirrel. Yeah, and and I was because I was going down the street. I was leaving the motel here and I saw a squirrel in the middle of the street who had been hit clipped by a car or something and he was obviously damaged because he was leaking.

You didn't

Brad Staggs (01:01:19.342)
But he was still, he wasn't dead. He was still trying to pull himself to the side of the street. And I didn't stop. And I thought, Oh, it's sad, but I'm not going to get out because some other car will come along and finish them off. So, I mean, well, but look, if you get out and you try to help a squirrel, what's a squirrel going to do? It's going to bite you. It's going to It's going to bite you.

I saw two squirrels gang rape a squirrel in my backyard in Houston.

Thank you. They are rapists squirrels are rapists. I think we can all agree on that and So as I left and as I was I was gone I don't know 20 minutes and I came back down the street and the squirrel was not in the middle of the street any longer and as I got up I passed this little car parked on the side and I saw a Vulture standing there and I thought well good so Circle of life, but I realized the squirrel still wasn't dead but the vulture

What an impatient vulture.

Thank you. He was pecking at and the squirrels like, help me. He was still alive, still trying to get away. And the vulture is like, no, you're not going anywhere. Die.

KEITH MALINAK (01:02:31.992)
little bit.

You know here we don't really have, we don't have vultures but there was this short going around some years ago where you could see a bear, brown bear, it was eating out of the neck of a moose and the moose was just like, it had been hit by a, yeah it was laying by the, and he was still alive and it's nature is brutal man.

Do you see?

Nature is a bitch!

So, so, my gosh. Yeah. It's true. I told you before that once I was walking through Manhattan and there was a Manhattan and a pigeon was eating a chicken wing. That was freaking me out. You know, animal bastard.

Brad Staggs (01:03:07.907)
Manhattan.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:03:14.818)
I've seen... what are they? Seagulls. I've seen seagulls eat rats.

Ugh.

Now I'm hungry!

Okay, is just that right here.

What am I looking at?

Brad Staggs (01:03:38.84)
This?

Sorry, don't know what the, hold on, let mute it. But there's chickens eating chicken nuggets.

It is. Chicken nuggets. There you go. Well, are those chicken nuggets or is that just 3D printed chicken like Campbell's soup?

Well, if you do a Google or a YouTube search for chickens eating chicken nuggets, you come up with a whole lot of videos.

Yeah, no, I don't like that. I mean, if you're going to be like, no, you don't feed chicken chicken.

Brad Staggs (01:04:07.042)
You don't like what?

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:04:13.836)
Why? You know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of Isis starving this woman and then feeding her her baby like

Okay,

like to.

KEITH MALINAK (01:04:50.818)
doing turtle slowness, you know, and I went, stopped the car, the kids were with me, two of them, and I tried to hurry him along. Well, I didn't realize his ass was a snapping turtle and he was pissed and he nearly bit my fucking finger off.

I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at Jonathan the Viking went full Hannibal way

I'm right. Thank you. Thank you. So anyway, I don't know if the turtle got confused or what, but it turned around and started going back the other way. And I'm like, you dumb ass. But you he tried to bite me and I was like, good luck, bro. And we started driving away. I saw, I saw in my rear view mirror, here comes a big rig truck. And I told the kids, don't turn around. Don't look. Don't turn around. Don't turn around. And I turned around. And what I saw is kind of like, you know, like, isn't it on, what is it, Mario Brothers where the

turtle shell thing goes sliding and bounces off shit. Yeah, that's what happened. It was bad. It was nasty. It was double, triple shit. You right? Right? So then something else came to mind when you were telling that story about the old squirrel. And it was, it's been raining for quite a while there in Charleston, South Carolina. And the radio station I worked at is down in a place called Mount Pleasant, which is really close to the coast there, where you got the reeds and the.

the swamp and all this stuff they're up against. And so it was rainy and everything. And I stepped out of my car one morning at 4 a.m. because I guess I'm the only person that can't work normal fricking hours ever at any point in my life. But it was 4 a.m. It was dark. And remember, it had been raining a while and I stepped out of my car and I hear this crunch under my foot. And I'm like, I really I thought it was just like a leaf. But I looked down anyway, just in case. And oh, it was the saddest thing I've ever seen. It was a little

KEITH MALINAK (01:06:38.572)
little crab and he was deformed now because of what had just happened. And he has like one hand going because the other one's been crushed by me accidentally and so I had to

You should have just thrown him in a pot of water.

Brad Staggs (01:06:52.514)
Go ahead, Rebecca. Tell us about something.

I had to old yeller his ass because I felt so bad for him, you know, I'm like, Chris.

of all, crab.

Uplifting frickin' Friday livestream ever, I'd like to point out.

Crabs are the spiders of the sea kid.

KEITH MALINAK (01:07:08.172)
Okay, so that now now I feel better because I hate spiders.

Exactly.

Yeah?

Yeah, just lay her down and just call it a day. And then don't, you know what? And just tell her, I'll be back in an hour. I'm busy. Mom's busy. All right? What else we want to talk about that doesn't involve, you know, death?

You

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:07:30.862)
Are you afraid of me now? I'm gonna tell you real life stories about what

I don't know that I want them on the Friday live stream. is this true? There is an X account called fact. So it has to be true, right? And they just tweet out facts. And it's like a great place for knowledge. Is this true? Google this. Do my job for me there, Brad. Michael Jackson nearly purchased the company Marvel just so he could be Spider-Man. Michael Jackson nearly purchased the company Marvel just so

Yes, Michael Jackson seriously tried to buy Marvel Comics in the 1990s primarily because he was a huge Spider-Man fan and wanted to play Peter Parker in a film. A dream supported by Stan Lee, although the deal fell through, so I'm excited.

Somebody out there, please. Can you make an AI where Michael Jackson is dressed as Spider-Man and climbing a building? Because I want to see this. That would not have worked, but I want to see it.

Or has Peter Parker too.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:08:38.342)
I'm gonna save the world

man and Peter Peter Parker Let's see how long it takes us grok to come up with it and grok has been thinking now for what 14 seconds and there you

Superhuman.

KEITH MALINAK (01:08:53.613)
Okay, hold on. gotta hang on. I'm getting there.

He did a job. think Grok did a fabulous job. So there you go. There's he's on the right.

The

He is. That's my

Brad Staggs (01:09:11.179)
I want to point something out. Look at the hair.

OK, OK, we're getting there. Now, now, tell Grok, make a white glove or whatever the hell you want to call this little glove. Make it a diamond studded glove visible.

the diamond. the Michael Jackson. put the Michael Jackson. was a glitter glove.

Glitter Glove, sure. Okay, hold on. You can do animation. All right. Now make... first, let's see what I know, I know, the creative juices are flowing now. Here we go. Hang on. Hang Hang on. Okay. Now, there we go. Okay. Now, now... Yeah. Okay. Grock, you got it wrong, Grock. F you. Grock, get the freaking poser Spider-Man out of there. Yeah. We need to get... First of all, Spider-Man's not a boxer.

One second

Brad Staggs (01:09:53.954)
Wrong one!

Brad Staggs (01:10:02.264)
the spiderman

KEITH MALINAK (01:10:08.824)
getting into a ring. So lose the hood, put the white glove over there, and then animate him to do the moonwalk. Let's go. We'll wait.

stressing out little one.

No, you're good.

it's Hold on. Don't put so much pressure on Grock. Let's see. I'm I'm going to get that going over here. Michael Jackson. Yeah. Jack's Jack Jack

Okay, you work on that, okay? And you just tie it away.

Brad Staggs (01:10:42.702)
You're just giving me busy work so I don't bring up norms. Whoa

Okay, I'm about to... This is not good. This is the opening scene of Michael Bay's Marvel. Okay, that's not good. You work on that in private, bro. Okay, breakthrough blood tests can detect dementia before symptoms set in. I am getting some blood work soon, and I'm gonna ask for this because they're saying that there is this... This is a... What is it called? It's got a protein. Y'all might wanna write this down. I'm being serious.

Or no.

KEITH MALINAK (01:11:18.402)
They're saying they could pre-diagnose, because if you've been around dementia and Alzheimer's, it is absolutely just horrific. And I know so many of you, it's touched your own lives. But this protein is P-T, as in Tom, A-U, P-T-A-U, 217. Ask your doctor if you can have blood work that tests for this protein. It says, it definitely is, they tested thousands of people.

Are you sure it's a P dash NUS one?

P-T-A-U.

No, that's NUS.

I don't think that's Actually, it's very funny. But we're talking about Alzheimer's. you go. Save that. There you go. Save that funny look.

Brad Staggs (01:12:05.389)
fix that.

that now I'm just

Michael Jackson as Spider-Man. It is making the video.

Don't you laugh Rebecca? Just all getting serious now you're gonna try to snake out of it by trying to laugh and be funny and shit. No, no You are going to be disciplined You're gonna be

Wait, it says Brad freaking stags?

Brad Staggs (01:12:33.634)
What did I do?

Yo, be a pro- What is your color?

my god, that is so gay.

look at that bulge! Holy cannolis! Check that thing out!

I'm not wanting to do that.

Brad Staggs (01:12:48.782)
You do you really want to see it Look at that Stanley is Stanley rides again

Look at

Clear.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:12:57.848)
Brad Staggs (01:13:01.239)
What's she doing?

Hold on.

She pinched you? You getting a cramp?

I am gonna try to put her down because she doesn't want to see.

Go down. Go down now.

KEITH MALINAK (01:13:13.334)
Sorry, I took you out to be subjected to this insanity. But turn your camera off though. Rebecca needs to turn her camera off because I'm telling you, I won't know when she comes back. All right, so, okay, what have we got here?

Wait, which one of us? Her or me?

Brad Staggs (01:13:25.549)
Ha ha!

I'll tell you look she's back in the background making that silly little noise again trying to be all cute

You know, what people don't realize right now that's happening is I'm subjected to the animation of Michael Jackson touching himself in a Spider-Man.

He's not touching him! Is he touching himself?

He's loving on his face, man. Can we? Ugh. we? Okay, well, I am the only person right now who can see this damn animation. I'm about to put a Post-It note on the screen so I don't have to...

Brad Staggs (01:13:49.186)
What is that when he does it?

Brad Staggs (01:13:55.234)
Look at that boat.

That thing, I mean, you think that's real? not anymore. It's not. You know, his daughter's cute. Paris, and she's not completely drugged out of her mind.

Okay.

KEITH MALINAK (01:14:08.174)
Did you know that the the human brain has five distinct epics in a lifetime? You know that?

Yeah. No. I would love to.

You want to learn about it? Because I don't want to talk about Michael Jackson's junk anymore. I'll talk about anything. Anything but that.

The amino acid P-NUS?

So do you think that you have some P dash NUS in you right now?

Brad Staggs (01:14:34.434)
Would you like to?

Hi Rebecca, welcome back.

Go down.

My baby's under the desk and the cat's watching.

Baldur

Brad Staggs (01:14:45.934)
So weird, so is mine.

He was, you know, he was so cute earlier today. He came and laid in my lap while I was feeding her and he smelled her head and he started licking her head, which means he's accepted her.

thought you were going to say you threw up.

Okay, but that baby's head is soft and that sandpaper tongue is not.

Well, she didn't mind.

Brad Staggs (01:15:07.563)
It's good for sure.

What is she gonna say? Like is she gonna say, okay, hold on. What's the word for stop doing that? What's that phrase in Norwegian?

Stop and stick and.

Like slut, but slut.

Did you say- what is- how- this language of yours is naughty! Slut and stup-

Brad Staggs (01:15:27.242)
I'm really disturbed. Was that looking? yeah. You were going to give me something about an epic.

All right, so scientists say that for the first time, they've identified four distinct turning points between those phases in an average brain at ages 9, 32, 66, and 83. During each epoch between those years, our brains show markedly different characteristics in brain architecture. But let's see here.

So you'll peak and then decline. see. Ages 9 to 32 is the only time in life when our neural networks are becoming increasingly efficient. So we're getting smarter between 9 to 32. 32 to 66, we're just stabilizing, no major changes. And then after 66, it's when it starts to, we've already plateaued in our intelligence and personality. so let's see, 66, you start to.

So now, let's see, 83 and beyond, the brain becomes increasingly reliant on individual regions as connections between them begin to wither away. So after 83, then those connections start to fail. So there you go. In other words, if you're 33 or older, it does not get any better than this.

So this is the, it's all downhill. Is that what you're trying to say? And Rebecca, when you turned 33, what, you got another what? Nine years before you're 33?

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:16:51.406)
Are you trying to flatter me by telling me that I look 20 something because I don't?

How do you know you don't?

because I can see my face in the mirror every day.

Okay.

There you go. There's the happiest states for whenever you... Well, I don't know, it's 46, so between 32 and 66, according to... The highest is Hawaii, 66.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:17:07.598)
It's the happiest state, right?

Brad Staggs (01:17:12.93)
Kansas is higher than Texas. Well, yeah, because it's a frickin Hawaii.

Alright, well the lowest I think is 32. Who is that? West Virginia? 32? Yeah, isn't that crazy? Isn't that something? This is because Gavin News is so good at governing.

That's over there.

Brad Staggs (01:17:36.824)
What?

I get why it's 60. Like, it's not, it's not that fun.

No, but it's saying that 66 is the happiest. Like, this scale is 32 to 66. Yeah, so it's pretty happy, apparently. Well, no. they love paying taxes.

oooh

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:17:53.784)
I don't get no cuz it's sunny all the time. It makes me go freaking crazy

Sunny all the time makes you go freaking crazy. got news for you. Texas in the summer, not going to be your cup of tea.

Brad Staggs (01:18:08.942)
Play plenty of times, how many times?

How many times? Be honest here. Here we go. many times?

the time.

I've through 13 Texas summers.

No.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:18:21.384)
No, think I've like over a couple of years, three years, I've spent maybe nine months in Texas.

All right, so one summer.

No. No.

No?

I've had three summers in Texas.

KEITH MALINAK (01:18:41.678)
Okay, I've had 17 and I hate it. I just hate it so much.

telling you. We'll get you will It gets on. It'll get on your nerves. Yeah, quite quickly.

I love the thunderstorms though.

Seriously, right? Go to the mountains every summer just to get the hell away from the heat.

But I love the heat.

KEITH MALINAK (01:19:02.964)
Okay. All right. Well then, Texas is going down. You can have my spot. Okay.

California is like always sunny if the Sun is always shining it's kind of like a dystopia You know you think it's good, but it kind of drives you crazy eventually and then there's all the homeless people But if you put that to the side You know I I fancy California it has a lot of good stuff as well, but all the people and new gavis news him news him Gavin

small.

Brad Staggs (01:19:33.051)
Gavin Newscom.

Fr-Federator says he's got a good spot, a red spot there in California. I could see a red spot in California, being.

don't know if this will do any good at all, but it's worth a shot. And you can't get a strike from it.

the Nork Circus. Okay.

Just saying. You have to turn the...

KEITH MALINAK (01:20:01.838)
I have to unmute it. Start it over. Start it over. There we go.

with a hat spinning plates on a stick yeah Rebecca from Norway she's got the trick yeah Brad's in the corner with a grin so sly talking about norks while the moments fly

As I know.

Norksuckers keep can't control us, Rebecca's the queen, Brad's been obscene, all the Norksuckers round and round it go!

Who did this? Did you do this?

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:20:39.742)
laughs like a northern light jokes crash like a clown in fly Right.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:21:03.882)
Circus, kids can't control us, back as the queen Brass, being obscene, all the Norc

There you go.

Okay.

Brad Staggs (01:21:17.539)
yeah.

So two questions, actually three. What the hell are the dogs barking at? number one. Can you hear?

Who's dog? Yes, I didn't know if they were yours because you're asking what the dogs are barking at was of all the people who should know they should be you.

Number two is what kind of instructions did you give the the Nork machine there to come up with that? And what did you what did you say? Hey, write a song that's like how how how specific were the

the Nork Machine.

Brad Staggs (01:21:46.894)
Would you like to know what my prompt was? Is that what you're asking me?

Was that what the hip kids call it? Okay, what do you got?

first go down.

A fun pop rock short song.

You said poof rock!

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:22:01.486)
I need like

Brad Staggs (01:22:05.57)
It's a about keith rebecca and brad rebecca is from norway and has remarkable norx While keith tries to ring master the circus and brad continues to make inappropriate remarks about the norx The song should be under two minutes That's it and it comes up i'm telling you this the ai song creation is getting much better

Good job.

KEITH MALINAK (01:22:28.76)
So do you think that the name of this podcast, whatever the hell this is, should we change it to the Nork Circus then?

well, but then what you risk is Rebecca suing you for complete control over all of the material because she's going to claim that, because they're her her norks that she owns the program. She's going to and on days two of us.

Let's have a take.

KEITH MALINAK (01:22:54.146)
Yep, and on days that she's not here.

she's going to make us do it and

I'm saying that we're not gonna provide norks for the audience and then it's on us and it's our bad.

and they could do it.

Brad Staggs (01:23:06.008)
Pretty much. So yeah, I mean, can you tell I've had seven wives?

Norc Patrol?

The Nork Patrol.

Well, I like that band name, Poop Rock, and the album name is Less Fiber.

i'm sorry, this is my humor

KEITH MALINAK (01:23:24.118)
Hey, here's another

Funny how things change, isn't it? You squeeze out a kid and suddenly, boom. Yeah.

Hold on, brother.

I want to sleep and it's driving me crazy.

This is your parents' revenge on you.

KEITH MALINAK (01:23:41.868)
Yeah, I bet you use the word poop more times in the last seven weeks than in your entire life before.

man, every day, several times a day, please just poop is what I tell her in the morning. She hasn't pooped in five days. It's driving me crazy that it's-

Whoa, wait, hold on time out. out. hold on. Coming to our doctor's office here. She hasn't pooped in five days.

No, you know how it is with little babies. They don't poop every day.

I thought they poked multiple times a day.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:24:09.973)
No.

Not necessarily, she pees a lot though, probably.

Yes,

She's not sleeping because she's like my stomach hurts bro take me in

No, she doesn't. mean, she's fine. Her stomach's fine. It's just like two days before she poops, she'd get a lot of- Yes, I am her mom. Yeah.

KEITH MALINAK (01:24:25.39)
FOR MOM?!

Brad Staggs (01:24:29.92)
I mean, if you think about her diet, she's taking in a lot of fluid, but there's not a whole lot of substance in there.

So it's a lot of NORC, NORC Jews and then.

You know, OK, typically infants and children will stool one to two times a day. Some may go a few days without schooling and that's totally normal. Stooling who wrote this?

Yep. I hope some doctor somewhere. Everything sounds so clinical.

I've never heard of I know you come on say I I asked the the search engine the word poop you don't come back with stooling you you you jive with me on that.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:25:08.783)
Have you stooled today?

a second. should I call my pediatrician? Every schedule is unique. If your baby hasn't pooped in four days, you should call your dog. Maybe it's different in Norway since you're like up way.

Sorry, it's my life now is to talk about poop.

Hey, check this out. This is sad. Sperm from a donor who unknowingly carried a cancer causing gene has been used to conceive nearly 200 babies across Europe. Some children conceived using the sperm have already died from cancer and the vast majority of those who inherited the gene will develop cancer in their lifetimes. The man carrying the gene passed screening checks before he became a donor at the European Sperm Bank when he was a student in 2005. His sperm has been used by women trying to conceive for 17 years across multiple countries.

I miss seeing Rebecca have her pussy. What the cat?

KEITH MALINAK (01:26:03.75)
I know, we don't need any more. How is Boulder doing by the way? Yeah, he's right. I haven't seen him in a while. He's right here. You said he takes baby sits for you, right?

No he doesn't. He really wants to lay on her so I have to be really careful. Which is why she's not sleeping in another room right

Wait a minute. Now we're getting to the, the, okay. So you're freaked out to leave her alone in the room with the cat. Good.

yeah, yeah, I don't leave her alone with the cat.

Seriously, how many babies have been offed by cats?

KEITH MALINAK (01:26:43.149)
Google it for

If you and he is she's a little

He's a big boy, How much does he weigh?

about twice her weight.

Much to shiue.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:26:56.398)
4.2 kilos.

it 8.8 pounds we've been over this

the big boys like seven years.

It's extremely rare for cats to kill babies in the United States while anecdotal stories exist. Scientific evidence points to these incidents being accidental, often like shut that kid up, often linked to sudden infant death syndrome where a cat's presence is coincidental or in very few documented cases, suffocation by a cat lying on the baby's face.

Yeah, that's the one. Yeah, I can't hurt but like he wants to lay on her. He tries to step on her every morning. So because he wants to get like in the nitty gritty and I don't allow I don't allow him, you know

Brad Staggs (01:27:37.102)
Let's see how many Is it seven to see seventeen In how many years so it's not really it's not really it's like tetanus no one dies of tetanus

So obviously you have your hands full with the baby. If you ever need to take Balder with you at the same time and you got the front is occupied obviously. Here's a fun little way to get your cat around with you.

KEITH MALINAK (01:28:23.202)
Please tell me.

We saw that in Roswell. We saw a couple.

So this isn't a joke?

I don't.

Let me just you know get down here on the floor and you just shove a cat right in my butthole my butt

Brad Staggs (01:28:43.438)
back.

I don't have faith. I want to see the comments.

don't know that come to think of it. don't know that it was.

Looks like you're shitting a cat is what it looks like.

When your pants turn into a-

Brad Staggs (01:28:56.71)
Who hasn't shit a cat? Come on. Hold on a second. I can find that. The cat shit sack. Cat butt sack.

You know what? anybody watch this show with their kids present? I gotta know.

Yeah, there it is right there. I googled cat butt sack and that was the first thing that came up.

Do I put this on? Let me see.

There are no comments.

KEITH MALINAK (01:29:22.856)
There was a million six thousand on the other one. Don't sit on your cat. Dang man. no.

Here's 10 comments.

Brad Staggs (01:29:30.783)
All good until someone farts.

Look at that. Look at that. You've got to have a partner in crime shoving the cat up in your butt. else, I mean, the cat's not going to just willfully get in your butt.

That cannot. Well, the one I

saw

Come on. Look, the only thing that makes this believable is I feel like, and this probably makes me racist, I feel like that is something you would see in Japan. No? Just don't call them slopes. I don't know why. I don't know why. That's because...

Brad Staggs (01:30:00.878)
It's always the Asians who are doing weird shit.

I feel like like maybe because I'm thinking of a fanny pack or something going on I think it's like a feline fanny pack for

my god, Sanny pack

Brad Staggs (01:30:11.774)
the corner fudge is made. Gas chamber for your cat, all good until someone farts.

What are we doing back there?

can see two paws full of claws ripping into the flesh of her butt. No, in how many ways is this a bad idea?

This is how I knew this was gonna be a treasure trove here with the cops. Yep.

You know?

Brad Staggs (01:30:35.566)
And that's just one of them. What in the hell is O? It's Twinkle Tush?

What the hell is that?

And when I don't know, I just pull it.

No, it's a twinkle tush. come on. This is good for your cat. It's a cat butthole bling.

god, get out of my face.

Brad Staggs (01:30:50.318)
is wrong with butthole bling for your cat?

want but hopefully for my cat. I'm not looking at anything anymore that you've We've gotten to that part of the show where it's like, I'm not going to trust whatever Brad tells me to put on.

Oh, look at those.

These are

Brad Staggs (01:31:04.878)
Okay, what have I done? I mean, I was either one who brought up some freakish ISIS incident. No, I'm over here.

You know what? You know what?

Just saying let's not incurred cannibalism because it's

Yeah, we know what you're saying. we're gonna have to, the review board's gonna have to go back and watch this tape and figure out if a suspension is warranted. Just kidding, we'd never suspend Rebecca, only Brad. I don't wanna talk about-

Look at he's beating that pussy.

KEITH MALINAK (01:31:36.098)
Now you're out the baby. Hey, look at this. Do you guys have a pro? Just watch this. Just watch this and just then let's talk about it.

by saying that.

Yeah

Brad Staggs (01:31:46.946)
Victor Snow with space makes the catch and you're not going to catch this guy. But he got a bounce. No. When it looked like he was in the clear, stepped out about. Why did he do that?

So his team is trailing 15 points at this point and they need to win this game to make it to a bowl game.

your life. Victor Snow with space makes the catch and you're not gonna catch this guy buddy.

Okay, what are we okay? So so the internet has speculated This is what they're saying. They're saying hey, you don't run out of bounds that obviously

the game.

Brad Staggs (01:32:23.284)
snow with space makes the catch and you're not going to catch this guy buddy.

And I looked, I didn't see a follow up. I don't know, man. What do we think? What do we think?

just looks nobody cares. All right, anyway, so I don't know. I don't know.

You you've got to see what the cat likes

What the f-

KEITH MALINAK (01:32:50.062)
Don't stop. gosh. Is that? my gosh, that's Stanley. Don't leave that cat alone. It is Stanley. Don't leave that cat alone with Stanley.

He enjoys that

Yeah, okay, that's what I'm

But where do we all go?

Can you hear me? weird. It did it with the songs earlier, It scared you. We've been having issues every time now. I mean, I'm the one that's nervous as fuck over here.

Brad Staggs (01:33:15.822)
scared me.

Brad Staggs (01:33:25.071)
Only with my neighbor's cats.

I was looking at what Crawfisk says, but only with my neighbor's cats.

I don't know what was the beginning of that.

Rice farts aren't that bad. Dan Lee would love that cat carrier.

Is that right? Hold on. Hey, there you go. Edward Distor, this door, and sent me this. This is what not to do when you see a bear in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. And no, this does not feel like AI, Brad. Just want to point out, you got a bear here right in the middle, and then you got a dumb ass just over the bear's shoulder.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:33:54.062)
you

KEITH MALINAK (01:34:10.048)
Okay, so did we see what just what's happening back there? See that there's a little baby, little toddler right there. Uh-oh, so we got the bear going shopping. gotta get a bear's gotta do their Christmas shopping too, am I right?

KEITH MALINAK (01:34:27.93)
Why are you doing that, bro? Like, seriously. Now, that's my take. Why are you following this bear and touching him? But then... In the hindsight there, I'm thinking, now wait a minute, that bear was on a trajectory I headed right for that little kid. So at least he distracted me.

Just going for a little Chinese food.

KEITH MALINAK (01:34:51.086)
Okay, I'm sorry. The dad mode started way too late. Way too late. When you're a dad and you're coming around a corner and you see a freaking bear, did he not see the bear? Maybe he didn't see the bear. Maybe I'm looking here.

called no situational aware.

No situational awareness. Holy crap. That's amen, Brad. That is one thing I passed on to my kids with situational awareness. And this right here, you're right. The dad doesn't even see the bear there. I don't know if you guys can, as close as I can get it. Anyway.

Make it bigger.

KEITH MALINAK (01:35:37.39)
There you go.

The bear was like looking around going, come on. Yeah. Come at me, bro.

Come at me, bruh! But honestly, dude... That guy should've just turned around and gone, aww, that was... That means that if he doesn't, I guess he... Now, he's gone. That bear's not looking for trouble.

wasn't looking at the kid. It was just trying to think we lost Rebecca.

Get away from Tweedledee.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:36:05.146)
I'm just snuggling my baby. You know, she's never going to be this small ever again. I'm trying to appreciate it.

Do you want to go and cuddle? we can, you're not obligated to be here.

Is that not appropriate?

You can do it absolutely. I'm just trying to give you time with the little one.

better with an orcs out. What? I'm just trying to help.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:36:35.79)
You're just jealous that she gets to touch the Norx and all that stuff.

I mean sure she's in Norway and all that so what's the all that stuff part does she do more than just touch them yes

the show.

KEITH MALINAK (01:36:54.478)
So that would be me if I ever went skydiving. This guy. You're about to find out what.

What do do with that?

He has to, he has to catch the...

I love how his buddy's just like, see you later dude. Bye! We're outta here. Good luck! See you down there!

Brad Staggs (01:37:18.781)
Fuck! oh. you'd have to. Look at the footprint in the middle.

So he cuts he cuts that emergency But then what happened was as your focus bro, who? Pink panther is on the case. So so he gets he gets the he cuts loose But then after he cuts loose he tangles up with the stupid shoot in midair. This guy can't win I'm telling you this is what would happen to me. Although I wouldn't know how to get out of this jam

who footprinted on the sky.

Brad Staggs (01:37:50.702)
Yeah. Watching as the parachutist used a hook knife to cut sufficient reserve parachute lines to enable the parachute to tear free hook knife That's not a parachute is then deployed their main parachute which tangled with the remnants of the reserve canopy However, they were able to untangle the lines and regain sufficient control of the main parachute to land without further incident Despite control difficulties due to substantial damage to the horizontal stabilizer. Oh, it's making reserved canopy wrapped around the tail the pilot safely

landed the aircraft back at Tully

I mean that that's terrible. How close have you ever been to death there Brad?

KEITH MALINAK (01:38:30.804)
Every day you hang out with us here on the Friday Lake.

That and the first wife.

Okay,

Of that was more of I wished for the sweet respite of death, but that didn't happen. So.

Wait a what does that mean? You got kicked to YouTube. What does that mean? Wait. No, no, no. What does that mean?

Brad Staggs (01:38:52.078)
the

Huh.

What's croft thislk?

I don't

KEITH MALINAK (01:39:10.656)
What? don't know man. I don't know. I don't know if something happened there or...

man!

What is she laughing at? What I do?

You!

Can everybody hear and see the program? I'm seeing conflicting reports there in the chat. I'm just

Brad Staggs (01:39:24.779)
Rebekah's just laughing at my expense. I'm thinking of filing a lawsuit. I feel emasculated.

yeah.

Are you escalating me?

No. I know that men's fear is that women will laugh at them. So I guess.

I have a-

Brad Staggs (01:39:40.342)
Let me show you this. See if you like.

Brad Staggs (01:39:48.738)
For those of you listening to the podcast portion, was a pretty incredible site, wasn't it?

No, we're trying to hold back the laughter, actually. Anyway, have you ever been close to death there, Rebecca?

Wow.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:40:04.75)
yeah. Kinda.

Well, when?

gonna say like are you gonna go

You remember a time

My first trip to the United States, had like near-accidents happen.

Brad Staggs (01:40:23.746)
Thank you for that explanation.

Bye!

We were driving into Las Vegas, it was a red light, we were all stopping. My brother's girlfriend and I were in the backseat and then I can see on my brother's face that he's turning like concerned and he's looking back and so we turn around and we look out the window and there is like a truck coming sideways towards our car in I don't know what speed, it was fast.

was chasing you.

KEITH MALINAK (01:40:50.734)
What kind of truck?

Like the ones that deliver goods to stores and shit. Not a trailer, but a

I got it. Okay, sorry.

So that was coming sideways and it was on a red light. It avoided us and went straight into the crossfire of other cars coming the other direction and it managed to hit nobody. It's a miracle. But yeah, that was really, really, really scary. And then we went shooting in Utah. Nothing happened at that time, but the day after the guy that was our

It was...

KEITH MALINAK (01:41:22.019)
Okay.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:41:34.56)
shooting instructor, he was actually shot in the head by a think a seven year old girl at the same location that we were at. So we had like death follow us this entire like round trip.

What?

Brad Staggs (01:41:46.424)
Wait, in the... Yeah, I know, I was gonna say, I...

I feel like I heard that story.

Yeah, you have heard that story. I don't remember which year it was. actually my first trip to the United States.

But I do remember that.

Were you afraid to come back here? Were you like, hey, this place is a little risky?

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:42:04.77)
I wasn't, but you know, we had a few that that car thing was kind of, yeah, we did a lot of driving. So we had a near accidents a couple of times where which was pretty significant, but it was all good.

Yeah, yeah.

But yeah, I was really horrified by that whole...

I'm a bit accident prone that like honestly when I when I get out of bed every morning, I'm putting my life at risk. I've talked about when I was a teenager, I tried to peel the suction cup off the back of a open back of a TV at my grandparents house and when I came to, I was on the other side of the living room. That was stupid. Shocking myself like that. Um check this guy out. Look at this. Look at this guy, huh? He triggers an avalanche. Now, he's got to outrun it.

KEITH MALINAK (01:42:57.083)
Everything's fine now, everything's fine. Until...

KEITH MALINAK (01:43:05.58)
look at this, look at that.

He's skiing right into the face of, and he has to do a damn flip.

I know, right? Come on now. Show off. So I think they were recording this anyway, and then this happened and it just became more spectacular than, in fact, I think when you get to the bottom here, I think there's like a, there is a finish line or whatever. I just think that this was just a bonus having the, having the avalanche behind you. But yeah, he's dying right there. So he survived the avalanche and then he gets here and he's like, and he had a heart attack. I'm vaccinated. don't

But he, did he die?

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:43:41.378)
Bye.

I don't know.

I was trying to find and apparently it doesn't work on this computer anymore Google Earth because I was going to show you when I did almost die in The Sierra Nevada mountains And now I'm really pissed. Yeah, it's just it sucks because for whatever reason now Google Earth is not supported on my it was just working yesterday

Now I'm pissed.

KEITH MALINAK (01:44:08.462)
How annoying are the dogs, by the way? How annoying are the dogs?

are the dogs barking at?

I don't know. The windows way over there. And if I get up, I'm getting a beer. But I bet the Amazon guy's taking a nap in front of the house again.

Well, there's that.

Brad Staggs (01:44:25.964)
That bastard. We were hiking through the Sierra Nevadas and I

Bye for now.

I'm going to miss this story.

Come on.

And we were we ended up on a trail that was a closed trail we weren't supposed to be on I don't know how the hell we ended up on it But anyway, so we end up on this thing and it the reason it was closed is because there were so many spots on it that were just like washed out and we got up to this one part and I slipped and I fell and I started falling down the side of this this slope and I got within

Brad Staggs (01:44:59.8)
probably 20 feet of the edge of this cliff which dropped about 400 feet and I was I was like grabbing anything that I could on the side I finally grabbed like a little sapling of a tree and was able to stop myself from sliding anymore but had I not been able to grab that tree I would have been down the old I would have been done we wouldn't have been talking today I would have been but when yeah we'll see we were like

16 17 years old or five or six of us backpacking up in the

the stuff that you've experienced since then. I Stanley would have never met you. I would have never had the pleasure of doing the Thursday deep dive. come on.

Right?

What?

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:45:45.676)
have seven ex-wives.

I I I I earned all of these wrinkles. I haven't. I haven't.

except for new moms, okay? You ready? Couple of tips. what is happening out in front of the house here? If you're a new mom, and let's say that you're in the neighborhood and you're hanging out with your baby in the stroller, and you see another mom that you know, and you decide this would be a good place to have a conversation, but you hear barking going on in the house that you're standing in front of, could you just keep moving? Could you move on and have your conversation?

in front of somebody else's fricking house? Maybe? Could you do that for us?

New mothers are so inconsiderate. Have you ever noticed that? are so self-centered.

KEITH MALINAK (01:46:31.726)
Just talk about new moms. Rebecca, don't loiter in front of a house if you hear Barney.

have earned being a self-centered new mom. I have earned it. I have been walking between these moms, changing diapers everywhere, with their strollers everywhere, taking up space everywhere. Now I am the one that's going to take up space, change that diaper in the cafeteria, and do whatever I need to do.

stop, stop, stop, on. In the cafeteria. yeah. Where is that? What is that?

It's right next to the fucking bathroom.

Hang on a second. I gotta know where a cafeteria is. you, and are you putting, is it like a restaurant you're talking about then? So are you putting the baby on the table at the cafe?

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:47:16.224)
a cafe.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:47:21.004)
No, on the chair.

people trying to, you don't have bathrooms and changing stations and whatnot?

Her or in her stroller

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:47:29.998)
So for some reason they removed all the changing stations out of the bathrooms. Apparently there's like a nursing room, which I don't care about either. nurse wherever I want. And I nurse.

Damn straight whip them out. Just prove it to us right now. Show us that you will do it anywhere

I to it on camera. probably am on camera somewhere on TikTok.

I will defend, I'm going to defend your right to Norcom anywhere.

So, in Norway, right, do you have like new mother parking or whatever like parking signs?

Brad Staggs (01:48:12.11)
region north.

No. What does that mean?

So the sign, parking spaces right next to the door, kind of next to the handicapped places, you know, like.

Brad Staggs (01:48:25.794)
We like to, refer to it here in the United States as tarred parking.

We do.

people do.

You do? Do this for me, would you please? Look up Bolivia dinosaur tracks.

Only if you play the carpeteria commercial, because when you said cafeteria, it made me think of carpeteria.

KEITH MALINAK (01:48:46.752)
Is it on a screen somewhere? I don't see it. Okay. Go ahead. hang on. Start it over. Start it over.

KEITH MALINAK (01:49:07.534)
pause it and I'll tell you pause it. Okay, let's start it over and I'm going to tell you what I always tell you is it is not it's it's not on my end. It's on your end. It's not on my end. Yeah. Check your

I just wanted to get to the carpeteria

Brad Staggs (01:49:36.13)
I just always, whenever I hear cafeteria, I think of carpeteria. Carpeteria. Now what were you having me look up? Bear's Fair.

Bolivia dinosaur track.

Bolivia dinosaur tracks.

Yeah, and let me know when you get that picture ready to get on the

Our tracks, which holy shit. Are you talking like the big one? yeah, that's the, don't want to run across this bad boy in the middle of the night.

KEITH MALINAK (01:50:00.622)
Yeah.

KEITH MALINAK (01:50:05.166)
I don't know if that's what you're

she said.

Thank you. Thank you. That is a woof.

Okay, that is not the one on the print up I have here, but I think it's fine because it's the world's largest dinosaur track site. In other words, they have found a, I don't know if it's a field or whatever. Like in South Dakota, they built a museum, it's near the Black Hills. They built a museum around this incredible area where all these tracks are and stuff like that.

one.

KEITH MALINAK (01:50:37.59)
Maybe, yeah, I don't know. But the world's largest dinosaur track site, possibly 66 million years old, has been discovered in Bolivia. Thousands of tracks are at this location. Like that. It might be this guy, Colorado's got a cool place too. They're right off the side of I-25 there south of Denver.

That is a shitload of track. How wait a minute? Well, how do we know it's a dinosaur track?

Yeah, it was probably made last week.

Well, I mean, just cause.

I don't know man. You know what, that's where faith is involved, is believing all the calculations and the years and the whatnot. That was what this dinosaur looked like and how did we know this?

Brad Staggs (01:51:20.184)
That will yeah and that's just it. How the hell do we know a T-Rex look like what they say T-Rex look like? Because we don't have any face pictures.

right right right and- and but that is a cool little setup they've got their-

Does she not look pissed? Does that not look like every woman pissed off right there with a hand on the hip thing?

You're going to have to zoom in, Roller.

The hand on the hip thing? That's-

KEITH MALINAK (01:51:43.96)
she's looking up and she's doing one of these.

She's finished. Yeah, I mean, that's not

These aren't as cool as I thought they would be Gerald

Gerald.

You drove me all the way out here for this.

Brad Staggs (01:52:01.378)
You dinosaurs! dinosaurs! Look at those! Holy shni-

So if you're

If you're ever in Denver and you're driving and you're headed south or I guess if you're if you're headed north on 25, it's just I mean it's it's right there just good It's just to the west. It's right next to the red rocks. concert place there it's it's literally next door. You can see into red rocks amphitheater from this dinosaur place. It's pretty cool

I that's where Tadashi Trucks Band played. Did ever heard of them, Rebecca? The Tadashi Trucks Band? No. They're good. You'd like.

No.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:52:46.222)
I don't even know what it is.

Yeah, how do you know how do know she would like the Tadeshi trucks band just I'm just curious how you

I guarantee you'd like to do that. I bet you anything she

Sell me a- You! You didn't say that I would like them.

You would like them. You would like Tadashi Truxpan too. I think you would because of their unique sound that is both gritty and yet sometimes at the same time emotionally charged with a depth you don't often see in modern music that makes you feel alive from the very depths of your own soul.

KEITH MALINAK (01:53:20.654)
We got a A &R guy here that's selling this band. Okay, I'll check out How do I spell that at least when you come up with a band name at least make it something easy to?

No!

Great Norgs.

Thank you. The Great Norx is a great example. Thank you, Rebecca. I know how to type up Great Norx. I don't know how to type in to who.

Is it G-R-A-T-E? Norks? Totally different vibe.

KEITH MALINAK (01:53:51.022)
They found the oldest signs of humans taming fire. 400,000 year old... Is it a hearth or hearth? It's a hearth, right? I don't like words that I question how to pronounce them every time.

Yes. Thank you. So you don't know either,

Well, is it why is it earth and hearth?

Thank you. The English language. know, kudos to Rebecca. How did you and your fellow Norwegians and all of those Euros over there, how many, how many people over there know how to speak English? Kudos to y'all. Seriously.

I mean, most people do in Scandinavia.

KEITH MALINAK (01:54:34.316)
Why is it? No, seriously, why is that? Is it because you want to be able to communicate with Americans? Why is this?

good question. I think it's just the adoption of culture that made it that way. The American culture influence. And then, you know, we have the UK and we used to kidnap British people. mean,

I did you did you do you learn that in like a public school setting English?

Who didn't?

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:55:02.988)
Yeah, we do. then a lot of like we don't dub stuff over here. So if you go to see a movie or, you know, a show or anything like that, it's going to be in English.

You ever put your hand on your hips when you get pissed off?

sometimes.

come on. That's a yes. That is a that is a universal woman pissed off.

What is that? What is that, man?

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:55:28.161)
I don't know.

it's true.

I'm gonna go down again.

Can we get some context, please? Where's the cat right now?

Huh.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:55:40.738)
Baby's under the desk!

He's beside the desk.

I feel like you're taking too many liberties.

And I saw this opportunity to put her in the baby nest, but then she woke up so I don't know

you're do. Okay. So, you're going to go under the desk there. Take care of that situation you've got there. I was about to say Brad's gone. Okay. He came back with his Lord. Kitty. Good to see you tweeting this week. How you doing there, I say, say, Lord. Kitty. It's been good seeing you tweeting this week. How have you been this? so, I'm hilarious. I was going say I'm drunk but I'm not. Go ahead. Okay. What's up?

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:56:05.777)
he came with the cat.

Brad Staggs (01:56:22.21)
Go ahead.

KEITH MALINAK (01:56:32.248)
That's intense man. There we go.

That is intense.

He's, he's, he's camera.

I see you're patting the pussy like a baby.

He likes it when you

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:56:47.06)
No, please stop it. Yes, Julie, I do have a trucker's mouth. I'm sorry.

Peace.

KEITH MALINAK (01:56:55.982)
Okay, so we need to we have a we're gonna write

There goes the cat.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:57:02.062)
I'm gonna show you that the cat's still alive. Okay, my pussy is still alive

We got it!

Is it though?

I don't know is she

No, I'm seriously like, where is that music coming from?

Brad Staggs (01:57:18.306)
What music?

See, the problem is when YouTube flags us for playing Don Ho later.

I don't hear music.

Brad Staggs (01:57:29.464)
Do you hear music?

Man, your pussy's loud.

Actually.

CURING

Brad Staggs (01:57:39.382)
It's not me!

It's not you. anybody else hear Don Ho tiny bubbles in my clay?

I don't hear any music.

Nobody's playing any frickin music

wish you guys could live in my head right now.

KEITH MALINAK (01:57:56.37)
I closed Spotify and everything. I have no idea. Nobody hears it. Holy crap. I'm just going to do the rest of the show and listen to Don Ho at the same time. Listen to this. this. Hold on. Listen. I'm going to prove. I'm going to prove I'm not crazy.

Brad Staggs (01:58:17.262)
Still don't hear anything.

Nothing.

shut up!

No, really!

I don't hear anything. It is so hot in here right now.

KEITH MALINAK (01:58:24.759)
I y'all so much.

Looking for Windows.

It's not me, I can tell you.

Are you driving? Well, it's not Rebecca either.

No, I have a baby that's talking to herself and I have a pussy.

KEITH MALINAK (01:58:51.342)
don't know what has happened to my computer in the last few days. Nothing good.

Thank

I'm kind of sweaty.

Be sure to talk really loudly the rest of the show.

show even real or is it in your head, Keith?

Brad Staggs (01:59:07.084)
Right. Do we even exist? Because i'm starting to wonder because I

I really, I feel like I'm in a bad TV show right now. you hear Don Ho singing?

I feel like I'm getting

KEITH MALINAK (01:59:21.378)
Yes or no?

It feels good to get blown like this.

That's what he said.

Yeah, it's no it is. It's coming from above.

Rebecca Mistereggen (01:59:36.907)
No, they don't hear your music.

No one hears your damn music

think this is some big... Now it's playing full-colon.

Now it's what?

Now it's playing tennis. could be more sophisticated. No, it's not.

KEITH MALINAK (01:59:57.346)
Anyway, I've lost both of you. That's fine.

Rebecca Mistereggen (02:00:10.574)
You could

We lost Brad.

Well, I'm still here and I have the baby and the cat.

Yeah.

It's fine. You can say whatever you want to say. I can't hear you. I can just hear a felons yelling in my ear.

Rebecca Mistereggen (02:00:27.638)
You can't hear me?

I can hear you, but you're competing with Bill. Uh oh. He's got a shit-eating grin on his face. What are you coming back to do here?

Brad Staggs (02:00:44.012)
Well, I came back to see Rebecca.

What's your suspect right now, Brad?

I didn't do anything. I was waiting, Dave. You've got music playing somewhere in the back that no one else hears.

Okay.

KEITH MALINAK (02:00:56.448)
I just closed it. I don't know. I closed the tab and it stopped. So my suspicion is not that anyone asked, but it was playing a previous show, the lead in music from a previous show, because those songs were on recently. Don Ho and Genesis and... I should lie down.

What was it? You don't know, you? And it stopped.

KEITH MALINAK (02:01:22.606)
Okay, I want to put this picture up here. This is a teacher confiscated this and first of all, the teacher's a jerk. It says, it looked weird so I took it. What is this? What is this contraption I confiscated from a student? And I could not find a satisfactory answer. What are we looking at here, y'all? It's a rubber band around tape in between two ballpoint pens. What is

Cap the ballpoint pens is in between them. It's a It's like a slingshot

That's about the most coherent answer that somebody said. was some sort of,

It's a slingshot. You hold the center part. You hold the back part of the center and you.

but

KEITH MALINAK (02:02:09.503)
I see it's kind of the rubber bands looped over. should be over the top of the blue. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

Yes.

I mean, so much for creativity, right? It looked weird, so I took it. Screw you, bro.

I don't think they can do that. Can they? I think they actually can. If they're in the classroom, anything can happen. MS now has pictures of Trump with Epstein. This is it. They've got him now.

KEITH MALINAK (02:02:31.584)
It looked weird.

KEITH MALINAK (02:02:39.542)
got him busted bro. Hey speaking to Trump did you see that he is floating the idea that maybe we end federal taxes on gambling winnings? And that's a no-brainer when you just hear it said you know it's a no-brainer.

They got it.

Brad Staggs (02:02:54.784)
I think it's a good idea.

I'm with you 100 % and I hope this becomes a reality. But I'm thinking when was that first justified? when, do my job for me. Find out when did we start taxing gambling winning?

As soon as somebody won some money in gambling, that's when it started happening.

Yeah

Do y'all have lotteries and stuff over in Norway? What's the jackpot over

Rebecca Mistereggen (02:03:19.118)
well, it's a euro jackpot usually is the biggest one

Is it all the countries, all the European countries get together?

Yeah, I think so. And then we have the Scandinavian one and then we have the Norwegian one.

Okay, so what's the biggest jackpot get up to and don't be doing no metric stuff.

I don't honestly I don't know the the number in dollars. It would be like something like 1.5 billion Norwegian.

KEITH MALINAK (02:03:47.822)
Let me tell you something. When I win the billion dollars tomorrow night, we're not going to be hearing Don Ho and Phil Collins in my head when I'm doing this. Brad's going to come over because I only hire the best. He's going to come over and he's going to fix my dripping shower, which is not a euphemism. And he's going to come over here and he's going to build me a nice studio. Right, Brad? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Once I win that billion dollars. Uh-huh.

and by the way, I was right. The, the United States started taxing gambling, winning, winnings with the passage of the 16th amendment in 1913, which covered all sources of income, including gambling winning. like I said, as soon as somebody started winning, gambling, that's when we started taxing it because they could.

Who's a part of that?

KEITH MALINAK (02:04:38.766)
Bastards. You know what? Hold on. I'm looking up an old tweet here. You know what? This is.

It's a good man's ass is what they

TOOM!

This is good. This is good. Hang on.

I'm tossing treats to the pussy.

KEITH MALINAK (02:04:53.208)
Sorry.

But I am, that's what I'm doing.

You know what? I'm not going to play this long video. I make an executive decision. You reminded me of a video that I just recently saw. And I was going to play it here. But instead, I think I'm just going to get this guy on the show. Because if I can't get him on the show, I'll play this video soon enough if he isn't going to respond or whatever. I just don't know. But it's so much involved with the history of the income tax and Federal Reserve 1913. But then now you're mixing in the gambling.

winnings. mean, that is

As soon as they can tell if you it's the Beatles They'll tax the air that you breathe. They'll tax anything that you can possibly Even if it's when I first divorced was when I discovered what in kind meant. Payment in kind in other words if somebody you get if they give you you did a nice job for it and they gave you a cake as payment they'll

KEITH MALINAK (02:05:44.949)
what now? no, what?

Brad Staggs (02:05:56.312)
figure out how much the cake was worth.

They're trying to implement global tax. you know, there's that. Yeah.

Yeah, we'd all be on that train if if Trump was in an office. I'm convinced. Yep Listen to this listen this yesterday on pack ray unleashed my day job over at the blaze. were talking about income tax and And like what the founding fathers paid? Estimates place the average effective tax burden on colonists at about one to two percent of income Just prior to the revolution in other words, they were they were revolting

Guys, this is my cue to leave like four hours or minutes early, but yeah

Brad Staggs (02:06:36.394)
quitters never win and winners never quit

I'm gonna let her cry for you. There you go. Bye!

They all do.

See, so 1 to 2 % of income just prior to the revolution. This was below the 5 to 8 % tax burden over in Britain at the time. Bottom line is we currently pay an equivalent tax rate roughly 12 to 25 times higher in percentage than what the founders experienced.

And you're surprised?

KEITH MALINAK (02:07:11.744)
I'm not I just it's just it's still shocking. It's not shocking but not shocking. Yeah. Okay. Let's see what else I got here. I got no I don't have like a feel good. Nothing I got I've burned through all my feel good stuff.
