We're featuring our Podcast one more thing. Find it wherever you find all your podcasts. I was fascinated by that python farm story the other day. I actually dug into that, did a little reading, you know, because pythons are big and giant and meaty and. And they're like super efficient with the way they turn calories into muscle mass. You and. And they taste like chicken. I got a question about that. But I'll. When I get to the cannibalism, I'll hit you with that. All right, all right, fair enough. So after the show, before we started recording this, Hansen replayed a clip of me saying something rather dry about Jack. And Jack commented, that's a very I'm just Diane thing to say. And I was reminded of longtime listener to the show and hilarious tweeter, I'm just Diane. And I went digging into her Twitter feed. She doesn't tweet as much as she used to, which is a shame for humanity. She's had grown up with a job now, and it's not easy. You should follow her, Katie, if you've never checked out, I'm just Diane on. I am on her page now. She is a listener we became aware of a long time ago. And she's very funny. Okay. Yeah. Her pinned tweet is I'd rather go home than go big, which I agree with. How perfect is that? And then somebody tweeted the. The Nancy Pelosi. This is not an attempt to ban TikTok. It's an attempt to make TikTok better. Tic tac toe a winner. A winner. Her comment is simply nailed it. Oh, boy. Man, I love understatement. I think that's hilarious. Oh, looking forward to the day my new phone stops. Autocorrecting, vaping to raping. Oh, boy. Her best stuff is how much she hates her job and her co workers, but that's a different topic. So New Scientist is a real science outfit and they're trying to take another look at cannibalism. And they mention these bones that were found in a cave in southwest England which bared all the marks of cannibalism. It was pretty clear that cannibalism was going on there. Teeth marks on the bones. And the way I won't get into details, it's pretty gross, but. And this was 14,700 years ago that they were practicing cannibalism there in. In England. Today's protein, baby. That's what I say today. They write in New Scientists. Today, cannibalism is a taboo subject in many societies. We see it as Aberrant as clear. In films such as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, we associate it with zombies, psychopaths and serial killers like Hannibal Lecter. Positive stories about cannibals are few and far between. I would agree with you there. I haven't heard one of those. Wait, what a child's book about cannibalism? Or Jimmy is a good guy, like to golf, he treated his family well, and he was a cannibal. And he'll be missed. Yeah, but perhaps it's time for a rethink. Because despite our preconceptions, evidence is accumulating that cannibalism was a common human behavior. Our ancestors have been eating each other for a million years or more. In fact, so was torture. For years and years. For centuries. But that doesn't mean we should reconsider it. What a bizarre story this is. In fact, it seems that down the ages around a fifth of societies have practiced cannibalism. While some of these people. While some of this people eating may have been simply to survive, in many cases, the reasons look more complex. In places like this cave in southern England, for example, consuming bodies of the dead seems to have been part of a funerary ritual. Something they did when people died. Far from a monstrous affront to nature, cannibalism may have been a way of showing respect and love for the dead. Say archeologist. No, no. Yeah. No, no. Whoever wrote this needs to be investigated. He's like trying to this. I don't like it. Right. He's trying to soften a revelation that may occur someday about the barrels in his garage. Exactly, exactly. He's trying to set the table. Cannibalism. We need to reconsider it. I just watched a horrible horror movie about cannibalism where these guys invite a bunch of people over to their house for a dinner party and they're serving them the victims, but it. They don't know it. Would you ever watch episodes of Hannibal, the prequel to Silence of the Lambs? Yes. Oh my God. When he would. When he would sit down at the table in his suit, with his fine wine in his beautiful home and start slicing off pick pieces of liver that he cooked up. God, that was gross. Dinner table events. Do you think? Because like you're. You're so. You're talking the other day about the snakes and how that might become a meat of the future. And I said, ew, because the idea of eating a snake disgusts me. There's something about eating a reptile that I find. I've had snake. I've had alligator. There are multiple reptiles. I've had it, but I don't want to. It's gross. Alligator was great. You like just fried meat? It's. Yeah, it's all right. But could. Could you eat human? No. No. That's repugnant, Repulsive. Why? I don't know. It's an instinctive horror, I think. Now, the concept of it being a funerary ritual. Does anybody have anything else they'd like to say about Jim? Okay, well, then we're passing out knives and forks. If we could all make our way to the casket. Yeah, I got one more thing to say about Jimmy. Looks del delicious. Now that's some marbling. I mean, I know, I know he didn't exercise much, but that is some delicious looking marbling. Create a nice rub for it. Side sauce. Have you heard me? I think. Did I tell this on the air? I can't remember my favorite joke now, which also takes place at a funeral. If you've heard this before, forgive me, but it's short. It's a funeral, and. And people are talking about the dearly departed. And the widow stands up and says, is there anybody else who'd like to say a word? The guy stands up, he said, I would, and he says, plethora. And he sits down and the widow says, thank you, Jim. That means a lot to me. Yes, yes, that is a good. I. I have, actually. You've told that before, and I wrote it down to tell it to somebody else, and then I never did. So thank you for reminding me. I'll pass it on now. You got it again. Yes. The beauty of that joke is you think the punchline is that he just says one word. Yeah, there's a twist. It is a twist. I love it. Caught the twist. Well done. Good twist. That's funny. So back to cannibalism. I'm guessing that we're designed to be disgusted by it only because most of human history, people have been starving. And if you weren't disgusted by it, I mean, if you. If you thought of eating another human the same way you thought of eating a cow, we would have all eaten each other. I mean, just the strongest would have survived and eaten each other. And the societies that didn't find it abhorrent died out pretty quickly because of that. That'd be my evolutionary guess. Yeah. And I don't know if there's like an epidemiological reason why it's a bad idea, because obviously humans can catch human diseases, but I don't suppose that's Possible. But you know, we've mostly been starving throughout history. You weren't disgusted by it and like the only, the only way you could possibly do it is if you're, you know, the Donner party and you're all starving to death. And many of them didn't participate. They went ahead and starved before they did it. If it was okay with you. Yeah. People would have turned to that right away. Yeah. Nobody who hates Jim. We all hate Jim. Let's eat him. I tell you what though. It's all about the method of preparation because like I'm not going to have human sushi or anything like that. That's too. No, I'm. I'm a medium rare guy. But I'm going well done on Jim. Yeah. And I'm like maybe smoked all day. Like a long. Maybe jerky even. I want it. Really? Could it be like a company? Could it be like a sandwich or maybe like a wrap or something? So it's not just that. Yeah, yeah. Oh, you know what I mean? I don't want it like tender and falling off the femur. I just. Oh, you know, like a turkey leg, you know. You see, at the fair I'd have to have small portions because I'm diabetic. That's right. You're at the fair and you're eating a human legs. Got that foot still. See, that's disgusting is my point. So we'll see if this catches on and if New Scientific is successful in their effort to, I don't know, mainstream cannibalism, I guess. You know, with the world we're in right now, it wouldn't shock me. Right? Right. You is a sickening Armstrong and Gettys. Life comes at you fast.

Get it wherever you like to get Podcasts. I've been familiar with Nextdoor for a long time, but I'd never had the notifications on where I would get. Where I would get the regular. Everything everybody posts. Good God. Is that a smorgasbord of unimportant things? It is. Question. It is the forum of first world problems, is what it is. Well, it's. It's a combination of like first world problems that you really don't need to mention out loud to anyone. And. And like big problems that there are much better venues for finding the answer. Sure. Like my, you know, my dad has got this disease. My dad's got Parkinson's. He happened to be president. Does anybody recommend a good doctor? You're going on next door for that. Is that your best place to try to figure out these things? Just seems odd to me. Yeah, I guess. Nobody ever responds. So I don't know why everybody's fishing in this pond. I could see asking for a recommendation of like a service provider, something like that. I wouldn't ask, what medicine do you think he ought to take? Or anything like that. Or, you know, a football is in my backyard they may know it belonged to. That was one this morning. Oh boy. I saw one the other day that somebody took a picture off of a ring camera of a kid. That doorbell ditched him and they posted the video on next door going, whose kid is this? Right, right. Lots of those. Lots of those. Lots of. Did anybody just hear that noise? That happens like ten times a day. And then various responses. I did too. I thought it was. Sounded like a gun. It didn't sound like a gun. It sounded like more. Okay, whatever. But here's my favorite one from today that got me on this very topic. Here's another one. Somebody asking about shingles. Find a medical professional or Google it or WebMD or something not next door. Are we talking about roof debilitating nerve pain or. Exactly. I'm talking about the disease. Here's my favorite one. Does anybody know what I should do with this crow? It has a hurt wing. It landed between our houses trying to. I'm trying to nurse it back to health. It keeps hopping around and I don't know what to do with it. You gotta put the whip to it. It's not trying hard enough. What should I do? Call it a. And tell it to try harder. Right, exactly. Tell it. The good Lord helps crows that help themselves. Is this like. Is it like the new Google for your neighbors? I don't understand why people are utilizing that. All right, that's what I'm saying. You don't have Google or any of the other search engines for figuring stuff out or even tick tock or whatever you do, you go to the next door with the other 80 year old. Nothing else to dos. To answer your question, yeah. Yeah, man, it's just. I just shocked by. And I've always wondered this about when I, I didn't live in a neighborhood for like 20 years, but now I'm in a neighborhood, every neighborhood I've ever lived in, pretty much. There are quite a few houses where you know who lives there even if you don't know them. You see them on a regular basis, getting in their car, kid coming home on a bike, whatever. But there's always several houses where you just never see anybody. Yeah. Ever, Ever. You never see anybody, ever. Somebody lives there. Lights get turned on at night, off in the morning. And that must be the crowd that's on next door asking about crows or medical questions or whatever. It must be that crowd. You got to go on next door and say, hey, has anybody ever seen anybody come out of the blue house? That's perfect. The tables on them just start asking really weird questions on there. Jack. That'd be perfect. Hey, speaking of asking advice, I thought this was so interesting and it makes sense in my head. See if it does to you. It's new research out about getting advice, asking for advice, that sort of thing. And this Elizabeth Bernstein writes, we tend to believe the best person for support during a tough time will always be someone who's been there before. Turns out that's wrong. New research shows we may get better help from people who have been through a significant challenge that's different from our own. Because social scientists say this is because those who have been through an unrelated challenge can empathize with our emotional pain, but they won't assume they know what our experience is like or bring their own emotional baggage to the conversation. Oh, that's great. That is interesting. Gotta think that one over. Meanwhile, somebody who's quote unquote been there before sometimes talks more than they listen. They may also give advice solely based on their experience and forget that ours is going to be different. And because they got already got over the problem, they think we should too intend to minimize how painful the situation is. My main advice with big things that I've been through is usually having been through this, don't listen to anybody's advice. That's about my only advice on a number of big things. Wow. Wow. Interesting. A cynical man or an experienced man, sometimes you don't know. Sometimes someone you don't know well may have different life experiences that you can draw upon. You never know what people know until you ask. Well, like that's the advice I give on my cancer experience because I've had a number of people ask me who get cancer and I say don't take anybody's advice because everybody's situation is so incredibly different. I heard so many things that turned out not to be true. I'd have been better off if I never asked. Everybody's situation is miles apart and changes on a daily basis. So don't worry about it. And child rearing, while not the same as that, because there are some truths to child rearing, definitely. But man, there's a lot of. I don't know what are you telling me this for? When it comes to child rearing also. Yeah. A lot of people are trying to express their own. How do I put this? Work out their own issues or exhibit their own egos or something. Yeah. Because kids are so different and then the parents interaction with the kid is so different. It's just, you know, it's hard to normalize a lot of it. But yeah, maybe the worst advice giver is somebody who's raised a kid because getting back to the beginning of this article, they're completely convinced that their experience is universal. I'm not talking about all of you that have had one child. Obviously some of you have wisdom, but. Yeah, you'd exactly be what she was describing. Yep, I. Because I've got that situation and it ends up fine. If I just. If I'd only had one of them, I would think I was the world's greatest parent and be willing to lay out all kinds of advice and maybe write a book. If I'd only had the other one, I would think I'm a disaster. Yeah, I heard that. So final note on this, which I found interesting, was the power of weak ties. Conversations with people that you have weak ties with can be surprisingly helpful. They don't know us well, they don't know our faults. They're less likely to judge us or. Or make assumptions about our situation or something like that. I've had many experiences like this. Our much more likely to be a fellow like a brainstormer than a bestower of alleged wisdom. They're much more likely to listen and toss out ideas with you than try to lay the law down. This is the guy sitting next to you at the bar or the bus stop or whatever. Yeah, I've had this experience many times in my life and it works both directions. They don't have any particular agenda because they don't know you and you don't you don't. They can say things that if a somebody who did know you said them, you'd get furiously angry, but because you don't know them at all and have nothing invested, you can just hear what they have to say. Yeah, the power of weak ties. Thought provoking. Yeah.

At one point as a child, for some reason, I thought it'd be a good idea to stick my finger in a pencil sharpener. I don't remember. I don't remember how old I was, but anyway, I've got one finger that the fingernail on top still has white spots on there. From that they never went away. The fingernail continues to grow, but the cuts that I put deep into my fingernail, causing me great pain from the finger, from the pencil sharpener still on my fingernails. Do you think you're like 7 or 17? I was 28. 31. Yeah, I was. I was more like 7. Sure. Yeah. Well, we all do silly stuff like that. You know what I've always wondered about scars? What's the deal with scars? I have, you know, various places on my body where I got cut open or whatever. My skin has regenerated hundreds of times, thousands of times. I don't know. I'm not a dermatologist. But why does my skin regenerate? Star scars? I mean, at one point when I was born, that skin was unscarred, so you'd think that would be programmed into my genetics. I don't get that. I don't understand either. Clearly happens, but yeah. Why? Why it doesn't regenerate? Your face does mostly, but the rest of your body does not. I mean, like right up there I got a notch there and one there and I got scars there and there and they've faded a bit over the years, but they're still there. I don't get that. When you and your orangutan used to travel around the country in a pickup and do that bare knuckle street fighting. Yeah, I mean, it was choreographed, but sometimes, you know, his mighty ape blows would land upon my head. That's an old, it's an old movie you've never heard of Katie from way back in the day. Clint Eastwood, street fighting with an orangutan. Okay. Like, wow, Joe, you've done some things I haven't heard about. What a life, what a ride it's been. I'll tell you about it sometime. But so anyway, if you're just segwaying from the February 20th Armstrong and Getty radio show or the On Demand podcast into one more thing, the pencil sharpener reference will be familiar to it. We talked about it during the radio show today. But the situation is your. Your friend announces his intention to put his finger into a power pencil sharpener. And you tell him, well, Jim, if you do that, it's going to shred your finger, be incredibly painful, and you're going to bleed a great deal. Then he says, well, I feel like I must do it. And he sticks his finger in there and precisely what you describe happens. And he's standing there screaming, oh my God, my finger. It's intensely painful. It's shredded and now it's bleeding a lot. What are you going to say at that point? We feel like that having been desperately trying to talk sense to the people of America, particularly the west coast, as it's implemented these utterly predictably disastrous progressive policies, and I just, I suppose I should take, we should take satisfaction. No, but, no, because the finger had to be shredded. Yeah. That's just stupid. And there are businesses that I like to have been driven out of business by the crime. Right. For instance. So this is not quite as serious as the crime. And that's part of the reason this is so enjoyable. And before we launch into it, and we're going to play a fair amount of audio from abc7 in the bay Area. And I would suggest if you ever watch Bay Area News, I would give ABC7 a good long audition because if they're doing a report like this, they deserve, you know, your love or at least give them a chance because there are plenty of Bay Area media outlets who wouldn't get within a thousand miles of this story. We'll start, Michael, with the first clip and go from there. By now you've probably heard of the infamous Noe Valley Public toilet and how San Francisco was ready to dish out $1.7 million for its construction rather than pay for a much cheaper modular model from a company in Nevada. Here's why. San Francisco could not would not do business with any entity in that state. San Francisco had a ban on doing business with 30 states that had laws that undermined LGBTQ and voting as well as blocking abortion access. It was those states against San Francisco and that eventually became too costly for city government. The Noe Valley bathroom is not a one off case. That's a problem that is replicated throughout our city government. Or we couldn't buy toilet paper from where we historically bought toilet paper. These market players are smart enough to know that they had a captive audience and they could raise their prices. That is mind blowing. That is absolutely amazing. I would suggest a rephrase from our point of view for ABC7 undermining LGBTQ rights and voters rights or whatever they said. That's mischaracterizing reasonable policy. But so you got a situation where San Francisco is banned doing anything, including travel with 30 different American states. So if you gotta buy toilet paper instead of buying it the cheapest place, you spend more taxpayer money to send a. Nobody even hears it tree falling in the forest, virtual signaling message about trans rights or something. Wow. Well, and if you end up in a situation where you've only got 20 states left and they don't happen to have paper mills except for one boutique firm in Massachusetts and so you end up buying $5 a roll toilet. Stupid idiots. Next point, fecal matter. Stupid idiots. Nice, Mike. Economics 101. Competition results in lower prices. Also, because of the ban, public employees were not allowed to travel to one of those 30 states. To potentially lure companies to bring business back to San Francisco, the city tried to get around it by granting waivers. And between July 2021 and 2022, 35 city departments approved a total of 538 waivers. The problem there, even the process of granting waivers was costing the city more money in added staff and paperwork. In one case, the Recreation and Parks Department had to get a waiver to do business with a local LGBTQ vendor who had recently been acquired, you guessed it, by another company in waiver, one of those 30 banned states. Because of that, we couldn't use her services until we got a special dispensation, which took a really long time and was frustrating for us and for her. Wow, the state is drunk. You'd have to work on being stupid for a long time to reach that level of virtuosity. Roll on, Michael. Oh, Jack has a comment. Jack, comma, no, I was just gonna say I. You can see how you'd get here. So the people who vote on this stuff are morons, are divorced from reality. Another way to put it, they're either morons or they are so cynical. They virtue signal to stay in office knowing that this stuff happens. But either way, it's horrible. And then the voter doesn't really understand or hear about it. But there's gotta be a lot of people in government that are completely aware of the repercussions of these dumb bands and they keep their mouths shut. I guess there should be a bigger pushback against this. Roll on, big daddy. Time is money. And a report by the budget and legislative analysts found that while it is difficult to measure how the city's contracting costs have been affected by the legislation, researchers have found that full and open competition for contracts can result in savings up to 20%. After that report, San Francisco finally cried uncle. And last April, the Board of Supervisors voted to get rid of the ban. Instead, San Francisco government now allowed itself to do business with any individual company that aligns with its values. Then we'll do business with that company regardless of where it's located. And so we had to adjust the law because San Francisco was getting harder at some point. Yeah. So they retain their need to virtue signal by demanding the company's quote, unquote, align with their values, whatever the hell that means. And it changes week to week, but. So they finally figured out that, say there's a company that's so woke in Nevada they only employ transgender gay men. I mean, that's their entire staff. But San Francisco couldn't do business with them because they reside in the evil and scary state of Nevada. Boogity, boogity, boogity. If you practiced your violin as much as they practice stupid, you'd be Itzhak Perlman. It's infuriating how someone could. How can anyone listen to this and not have their head want to explode? I don't know. That's a pretty good question, Katie. Are there people that hear that and think, I don't care they did the right thing? Are there people like that? God. Well, they shouldn't be in charge of anything. No. They should have minders. They shouldn't. They shouldn't, like, be alone in an apartment or something. Should probably be on a leash just to make sure they don't wander off and hurt themselves. Next clip. Though the city lifted some of the restrictions on who they do business with it still has a long list of conditions and requirements that companies, industries, states and even countries must follow in order to do business with San Francisco. Up to now, only one city department has been given a reprieve to operate outside of some of those rules, the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. That's how they've been allowed to expedite the construction of shelters and housing. It saves us at least three months on every project that we open and has allowed us to be nimble and take advantage of opportunities to open new projects and spend the resources that the public has entrusted us with. Yeah, I think unfortunately on that one, it's just it. That one is millions and millions and millions of dollars flying around. And the people that are supposed to get that millions of dollars got a lot of poll and they aren't going to let it get all bogged down with your nonsense. So they found a way around it. Right. But to hear her say, oh, it's allowed us to be nimble and like, take advantage of opportunities and save money and be efficient, but only for bums and junkies. Yeah. Because like I said, there are so many people receiving those tens of millions of dollars in the whole homeless industrial complex. You don't have an interest group on the other end of paying for toilet paper to try to, you know, make it happen in a more sane way. Well, and the useful idiots say, well, that is such an important and sacred mission. Okay, we'll suspend all the rules. I think that is very important. Yeah. People making a living keeping the city from going into a death spiral. Yeah. Well, people having reasonable, you know, cleanliness and freedom from crime in their neighborhoods. That is not worthy. You were right tipping Your hat to ABC7 News there in San Francisco because that is some brave work right there. You're like practically Alexei Navalny to do that story in San Francisco. But what was I gonna say? Oh, did you see over the weekend, Scott Wiener, who's like maybe our least favorite politician in world history in San Francisco, full of craziness, finally, because he's been forced into it, has put forward some changes where they do away with a bunch of the impossible environmental rules so you could build some housing or some businesses could come back in to San Francisco because it's just made it impossible. Wow. So the homeless industrial complex has trumped the radical left for the moment, or at least they're trying. Wow, that's a lovely victory. Leanne Melendez. Congratulations, ABC 7 again. We'll post a link if you want to see the whole report. I think we can do that. Um, but well done, ABC7. God, that's so crazy. That's so crazy. We need to buy copy paper for the city. Where have we been buying it? Alabama. Alabama's not trans friendly, so we won't buy it from there. It costs twice as much somewhere else. I don't care. Of course you don't care. It's not your money. Oh, God, that's maddening. Then again, the company's owned by a gay black man. They give 100% of your profits to, I don't know, Panda Sanctuaries. But because they're in the state of Alabama, they're tainted by evil of that map location. And so you stupid morons can't buy your paper from there. They give 100% of their profits to Panel Sanctuary every last time. Oh, yeah, they don't hold back a dime. Katie. You're absolutely right.

There was some term we were using on the show years ago that we said sounded like a racial slur and like we were uncomfortable saying it. But it wasn't a racial slur in any way. Do you remember what it was? Right? I don't remember what it was, but it was. Oh yeah, it's on the tip of my tongue. I'll try to come up with it. Doesn't really matter. It was just, it was just a word and it's like made you uncomfortable saying it even though it didn't have any meaning. Well, this is part of the Daniel Tosh bit here that I came across on YouTube last night. Daniel Tosh, fairly famous as a comedian for brushing pretty closely up against racist comments in his comedy and getting big laughs out of it. Katie, you're familiar with Tosh? Oh, yeah. He's a funny guy. Oh, well. And sex stuff. And he's. He just operates on the edge. So he'll set up this focus group thing the way he does it. But it's worth knowing since it's a video that the panel he's talking to. So it's a black guy, a white woman, a gay guy, a Hispanic guy, and an old Asian woman that he's talking to. And this is how it goes in this hypersensitive day and age. It's hard to know who will be offended by what. So I came up with a list of brand new terms that have absolutely no racial connotation whatsoever. And to make sure they're safe, I field tested them with an extremely diverse focus group. It's time for Is it racist? Thank you guys for coming. I would like you just to raise your hand whenever you feel the term I use is offensive. Cream jockey. Okay, water flaps. Here comes a pack of water flaps. Lock up your dogs. Uh. Oh no, that doesn't sound good. Yeah, that doesn't sound good. Okay, okay, Sugar taster. That's a little offensive. What do you think sugar taster means? I don't know. I don't, I don't know why you think that he tastes sugar. Why do you keep pointing to the black person? They saddle shins. Saddle shins? What that mean? Bunch of stinking saddle shins. Using sentence I just did. That was sentence? Yes. Clink, clunk, clink, clink, clunk, clink, clunk. Hey, we, we did the railroad and we did all that work and then you come back. To use a kind term. Okay, that. And then it's not directed toward anyone. It's just the word clink, clink. I don't like it sounds kind of offensive. Okay, okay. This is all good research, guys. Thank you. Biscuit neck. God help us if we ever have a biscuit neck in the White House. Why does biscuit neck offend you? I don't know. You shouldn't say that. You shouldn't say biscuit neck. I thought it was something against whites. You thought biscuit neck was negative toward whites? Yeah. I appreciate it. It spoon face. I don't like that because lots of Asian got round face and they might think you're talking about them. Right, But I think of a spoon. I think of concave. You think? I think it's an Asian slam. Huh? Spoon face. Yeah, because spoon face. Apple picker. Why are you offended by apple picker? Cuz no one called me an apple picker. What if you were to pick an apple? I'm still not an apple picker. Let me find one that you are. Okay, which one can I call you? Hinto. No. Water flaps? No. Gin bird? No. Bucket ducker? No. Dirty legs? Nah. What about door donkey? Hell no. You find Tann eyes. Tann eyes it is. Well, thank you all for your time. You can collect your $10 on your way out. $10? Yeah, you spoon face. Apple picker. Wow. It's interesting though. I mean, when I watched it the first time, there's some of those words that made me uncomfortable. Isn't that weird? Yes. Clink, clunk. No, wait. We build the railroads. And now you call us clink, clunk. What? Some of them just. And the way he said it, we're like, oh, yeah, exactly. And. And then the people reacting like, oh, hey, don't call me that. And then the other guy's saying, what's the matter with you, biscu neck? So was it the sugar taster or sugar eater or whatever that was? The white woman said? No. Wait a second. You calling him that? He thought I wasn't calling him. Why are you pointing to the black guy? Well, yeah, that's. Yeah, weird. Why are you pointing at the black guy? Just sugar taste. You're offended on behalf of him for a made up term that means nothing really interesting psychologically. Wow, how interesting? Dirty shins. I can't. I can't come up with that term that we used to use. It was like dink, double income, no kids. It was one of those terms, but it really sounded like a racial. God help us. We ever have a biscuit neck in the White House. Stop saying that. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
