I want to say that we have new collegiate Gang Gang hoodies that have just dropped two new colorways, plus stuff from the Return of the Rat tour. If you missed merchandise out there on that tour, I think we still have some remaining that's available there. All of that@theo vonstore.com and thank you guys for all of the support. Love y'. All. All right. Oh, here we are. Here we are. Thanksgiving. It's Thanksgiving time. It's seasonal. I want to wish a happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I know there are some people out there that are not probably ecstatic about it, and I'm going to say who it is really fast. So it's not, you know, I don't want there to be like the. The elephant in the room or whatever, but Native Americans, so. And I know that everything that happened with that. With those. With the beautiful. Indigenous. Indigenous. Indigenous. Indigenous people. The original people of this land. Um, and I know that if, you know, that the things that happened to them were not fair and that's that. But. And not that. That's not that. That's not that, but. Yeah. Anyway, I don't know why I brought it up. I just. I feel weird if you're saying happy Thanksgiving and then somebody's indigenous and they're like, well, so I just wanted to honor those people and say, look, you know, our bad or whatever. I didn't do it. Somebody did it. And. And I hope we catch them. I'll tell you this. If we ever get a time machine to go back in time and catch the people that are coming here, I will enlist, I will go. I will be happy to go. But, yeah, we just have to. We have to live where we are. And the country is, you know, all of existence is kind of stacked on sin. Excuse me. Yeah. The history of time is just stacked on sin. Right? Things get stacked on sin over time, and that's. And, you know, in mistakes and accidents and. Let's eat. That's where we're at. So anyway, it's the time of year to finally sit down with people and eat and get you a little Something. I like to stare somebody right in the eyes and say, pass that big cut. Pass that sweat potato safely. I want that. Pass that back. And garlic bread. God, don't you want some garlic bread right now? This, this, this goes out to just anybody right now. Anybody, anywhere. I don't care if you are incarcerated. I don't care if you're working a double. I don't care if you're in a coma. But somebody put some headphones on you. Don't you want some garlic bread? God, I want that. I love. Dude, I love garlic bread. And even if people make it, like bad. I like bad garlic bread. Sometimes you go to a restaurant and they have the facade or whatever. I don't give a. About the fasacia. I want garlic ass bread. I don't care if somebody. I don't care if it's some bitch and she just has a, like, she has a. You know, even if she just has a spoon and she puts a little. Just like some trap house cook, she just has a spoon with a little bit of bread in it, puts a little butter on it, little garlic, and then just cooks it with a lighter under the spoon like that. I don't care if she, you know, and then she puts that shit in a crack pipe and we smoke a. Dude, all I'm saying is, bro, garlic bread is so good. Underrated. It's the bacon of breads. I'll go ahead and say that shit is fire. But I do want to say Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. I want to say thank you to everybody that bid in the charity jersey auction. We had a series of jerseys that were given to us in certain cities along the last comedy tour, and we got to auction all those off. And we raised about $40,000 for a local rehabilitation place called Cumberland Heights. And that's going to go towards helping people get recovery, helping subsidize the recovery costs for people. So thank you so much. If you even listen to this podcast or if you have and you're like, I feel like I haven't done anything this year. I haven't. You were a part of this. So that's on behalf of us that we make that donation. And, and then we all made a donation last week to the Gary Sinise foundation. So that was really great. So if, yeah, I just want everybody out there to feel like we're doing that sort of thing together. And. And, yeah, that's how I feel about it. So thank you. You know, what a blessing to know that people are going to be able to get some help what have I been thinking about? You know, it's. You know, it's a. There's a. You know, it's just. There's a. It's a wild time in the. In the. In the world. And it's. It feels like it's happened fast, you know, just a wild time. And it's like, who are we and where are we going? What does the future look like? And I think it's times like this I'm realizing you kind of have to just lock back into, like, things are most important, you know, because if you get caught up in a lot of the info, it gets. Gets kind of. You know, you're sitting there at Thanksgiving, you're staring across the table at somebody, and they're just like, do you want the baked beans? And you're like, I think I know who killed Charlie Kerr. There was a second shooter. There was 12 Israelis off Oats. Just. You know, it can get deep. You got to be careful there. Somebody's like, do you want the baked beans? And you're like, not if you think we fucking landed on the moon. I don't. Like, okay. All right. Get your own sides then. Yeah, there's just. It's just a lot. There's. So. There's a lot of conspiracies out there. And. And they're not even conspiracies, a lot of them anymore. They're all coming true. And so, you know, as we go, it is this wild time where we're kind of going through this. It feels like this awakening where, you know, I mentioned it on Joe Rogan's show where it was like, you know, the video game and, like, there's the. There. You know, there's like Mario or Link or. And suddenly, like, you're. You're playing with the character. You're controlling them, but suddenly the character just comes over to the front of the screen and just looks right at you, And it's like, hey, who's controlling me? And that's when the controllers are like, oh. So that's just. I feel like we're just in an interesting space there. And I think instead of, like. I think there can be fear about it, but there also can be excitement about it. But no matter which. Which, like. Which cup you're putting your straw in at the moment. Fear, excitement. I do believe that there is the fact that around the holidays or around any time that. That the one thing you have to lock into even more is things that are real, things that are tangible in your world. Your family, your. Your friends, familiarity you know, connecting with people. And I wrote me a little list. We have some great calls that came in from people. I wrote me a little list here of things that I enjoy about life, some little things that I enjoy. And if you want to call in, we'll put some of these up next year just. And they can just be brief things and you can even text them as well. You can go to the website theovon.com and there's a ways on there where you can contact the podcast. But some things that I like about life, small things. Accidentally touching someone's leg that you don't know very well. Now, it's weird. It's all, you know, it's kind of weird how it ha. You know, you might be sitting somewhere at a movie theater, you drop something, you drop a lip balm or you drop a, you know, a couple grams or whatever. Whatever. I don't know how you, you know, I don't know. I don't. But what. I don't know what you do, but whatever. You drop some, you know, a couple funions or whatever, and you're like, I'm getting those bitches. But it's dark in the theater, so you reach down there to get them and bam, you touch somebody's leg. You didn't really see it, and it's weird because you don't know them, they don't know. You all know each other, but you've touched their leg. And that's weird and shit, but there's something unique about it. There's something very human about it. What else? Petting a cat. If you're petting a cat and it strikes at you like that and you call it a little bitch. I like that. If you are ever somebody's like, oh, this is my cat. This is Cheryl, or whatever, or this is Aunt Cheryl. I had a friend, his cat named. His cat. His cat was named Aunt Cheryl. And I'm like, okay, so not gonna be friends with this guy too long. But. But he'd be like, oh, don't you want to pet my. Don't you want to pet Aunt Cheryl? And. And at first I was like, no, I do not want. I do not want to. But he's like, he kept kind of give me the, like, he kept like giving me like the. I guess the warm shoulder. He kept, like, wanting me to do it, you know, if, like. I guess that's called warm shouldering. What is cold shouldering? Cold. Oh, yeah. Intentionally cold or unsympathetic treatment. So, yeah, this is. This guy was giving me More like he's kind of warm shouldering me and be like, oh, don't, you know, don't you want to pet Aunt Cheryl? And. And I didn't want to pet. I didn't want to pet Aunt Cheryl. And then finally I was like, all right, I'll pet Aunt Cheryl. And I go to pet this cat. I pet one time, and I don't pet. I don't pet more than two times usually. Because if you do, if you keep doing that, you know what I'm saying? Somebody's gonna fucking get active, you know, somebody's gonna get activated in their body. So I pet one and I go for the second pet and the fucking cat. Aunt Cheryl strikes me like that. And I was like this little bitch. And anyway, I don't like it when that happens. But I also do respect that it's a unique thing about life. And so I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for the times that I get to pet a cat and it strikes at me and I call it a little bitch. That's something I like. Oh, showing up for a loved one, that's number three. That's one thing I really, really enjoy. Showing up for a loved one, that's important. Making loud noises around your grandmother because she is hard of hearing. And you can do that. You can. You know, it's very rare. You can be around someone and rattle off a loud slur, right? And it can be a racial slur. It can be non racial if you want. I mean, we know which ones are more fun. But that can be exciting if the person can't hear. But you're right there with them because it's very rare you can do that. But that's something I'm grateful for. Burying something somewhere that no one will ever know about. And some people are like, what do you mean? What are you talking about? But go do it. Get you a shovel. Get you a trowel, which is just a little baby shovel. And they should just call it baby shovel, you know, and get something. Get a little something. Get you. Get an. Earrings. Get a set of earrings. Get a. Get a little sack of underpants or whatever, whatever. Get something. Get a. Yeah, get a bag of hair. Get us, you know, pair of earrings. Get, you know, get a thing of. Get a little. Just get something. You know what things are. Get something, right? Get something and then go. Just bury it somewhere. Buried somewhere. Don't tell anybody. Always fun calling the cops on someone. There's nothing more fun than that. People kind of poo, poo. It or whatever. I love it. I used to live next door. I used to live under a guy over there on Claiborne Avenue in New Orleans. Bruh and his family, they were. They're Baltic or Russian or Europe. They was like, you know, they was. I don't know, you could hear some of the women kind of. It felt like there was some abuse up there sometimes. And they would. And they were heavy set. They had them big fatty calves, you know what I'm saying? Big knees. I mean, God, like, this dude had to spray WD40 on his knees or whatever to get them to go, you know, he was. He just had them. God, baby. Them leg knuckles, homie. As my fucker adult was all. All knees. He had knees in his damn arms. He was just big bone like that. Anyway, I would call the police a lot. I'd be like, hey, there's. They have a gun upstairs. That's what I would say. Did they have it? I don't know. But the police get there quick. If you say, oh, there's some guy with big knees upstairs who's causing a lot of shit, maybe abusing people. They don't come, dude. But you say that, you know, big dog up there, some fucking European construction worker up there has got that pew, pew on him. Bam. 11 minutes, they're over. And then I take off my shirt when I talk to the cops in the yard. That's where I'm from. And I think that's how you learn a lot about people. How do you talk to the cops in your front yard? Shirt on, shirt off. I go, shirt off. But those are little things about life that are kind of exciting. Riley Mao.
