00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:29,640 [Speaker 0] Hey, how's it going? It's me. I'm back. Um, I survived and, uh, just, just barely. Oh, geez. Um, I hope you had a good last five days. Me, 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:39,080 [Speaker 0] not so much. Uh, you might have heard me complaining about a little bit of a chest irritation on Friday, 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:58,820 [Speaker 0] and I narrowed it down to two things, either being irritated by all of the fog at the Trans-Siberian Orchestra show, or two, picked up a bug. Guess which one of the, the two it was, since I have not been to work since Friday 00:00:58,820 --> 00:01:51,820 [Speaker 0] doing my fake podcast here. [laughs] I'm gonna play nice. Gonna play nice. Um, I, uh, heard... Actually, it's kind of funny. Nobody told me aside from the person who actually does the podcast, but that, uh, there were some jabs taken at me. Finally got, got around to listening to him last night, and I was like, "All right, I could either, like, totally smash Mike Nelson on my show when I get back, or I could just, you know, ask him to apologize." 'Cause, uh, there, there was something that happened many years ago that, uh, he's never apologized for. So I asked for a public apology and got it. So I'm gonna play nice. But I will say this about, uh, some of the comments made. Um, 00:01:51,820 --> 00:02:08,960 [Speaker 0] this is a, a real podcast, if you're listening to it on demand. What is a podcast? That is audio of people talking that is placed online. When I was interviewing the host of one of the biggest podcasts on the planet, 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,800 [Speaker 0] Last Podcast on the Left, 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:19,700 [Speaker 0] I believe that they said something to the effect of, "You know, any podcasters who criticize radio are idiots," because 00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:23,380 [Speaker 0] it's the same thing, you know? 00:02:23,460 --> 00:02:48,620 [Speaker 0] It's audio of people talking that is posted online. So, I will say this is as real of a podcast as anything else, and that the first time I did a podcast was in like 2013. So, a little ahead of that, yeah buddy. But that's... I'm gonna play nice. I'm gonna play nice. Even though I had a lot to say [laughs] 00:02:48,620 --> 00:03:59,480 [Speaker 0] apology, uh, I suppose accepted. I would have preferred if it was posted it on, uh, personal page. I did say make a post, but I guess a comment will do. Guess it'll do. All right, everybody. So, I'm here. I'm, uh, not 100%, but when I finally went to Urgent Care on Sunday because I was in such excruciating pain, I didn't know how I was even gonna be able to handle it. Um, Doc said, "You know, when your fever goes down to normal, you're no longer contagious." So I gave it a... You know, it's, it's been down since, uh... What day is it? Wednesday? I don't know. I think Monday evening it was down pretty good. And yesterday, I was like, "I'll just give it one more day." Plus, I was still miserable yesterday, even, uh, minus fever and stabbing chest pains. So, not wonderful today, but good enough to walk into the off- office here and do my, uh, my fake show. [laughs] 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,380 [Speaker 0] All right. So that's where I'm at, 00:04:03,380 --> 00:04:15,940 [Speaker 0] recovering. You know, I'd, I'd say I'm at, uh, 80%, which ain't too shabby. I guess Peach has been out too. I didn't even... I didn't even know that 00:04:15,940 --> 00:05:21,820 [Speaker 0] till, uh, yesterday. So I hope he didn't get the, the crud from me. I should probably, uh, hit up Crane too since he was in the studio with me on Friday. He's probably up right now. I'll shoot him a text. That guy is, you know, pretty much immune to an- anything now. Yeah. He's a, he's a superhuman. He's the mountain. All right. I'm gonna have to take this hoodie off. It's getting toasty in here. [laughs] I will tell you one thing. I'm not, I'm not gonna tell you what to do, but man, I am personally, in my opinion, regretting that I sat there and farted around getting that flu jab. And teach their own, do what you want to do, but I am really mad at myself after the last five days. That was horrible. So, like I mentioned, been out of the office. Well, been pretty much out of existence for five days. 00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:31,560 [Speaker 0] Ugh, it was the worst. Just the worst. Ugh. And one of the bad things about getting the flu 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,300 [Speaker 0] is those crazy dreams. 00:05:35,300 --> 00:06:24,880 [Speaker 0] Like, I can't even get into some of them here. I had some wild dreams that were very dark and unpleasant. [laughs] And, you know, I slept so much, pretty mu- I'd say, you know, I was sleeping half the time at least the last five days. I started losing track of what day it was. I remember waking up Monday at some point.[heavy metal music plays] ... and being like, "How many days of work did I miss? Is it Thanksgiving? Wh- Where am I? What does life mean? What is reality?" [laughs] It- it was crazy. Oh. Well, I'm glad my lady was able to take care of me and get me some food. Like, I mean, I didn't really eat 00:06:24,880 --> 00:07:19,419 [Speaker 0] much, but I ate some. Hopefully, the normal appetite will return at some point. I brought some food to work, but, oh. You know me, usually everything's sounding good, not- not lately. Ugh. And I'm wondering, you know, what kinda stuff happened in the last five days? 'Cause I- I was so miserable I couldn't even look at social media. Like, if you've messaged me in the last five days, sorry. Sorry. I've- I've- I've got a lot of messages to catch up on. I was looking through my email at one point yesterday, and like, "Did I miss something important? What's happening?" [laughs] But, um, I had a point I was gonna make. Brain still a little bit off. Still a little bit off. But, uh, 00:07:19,419 --> 00:09:04,339 [Speaker 0] one thing that I did see pop up in the news, which I shared with my kids 'cause they're coming to visit soon... Oh, well, guess I'm gonna have a few days to, uh, hopefully, this weekend, power down and clean the house [laughs] since I didn't get to last weekend. Those plans went out the door. One thing I saw is that the airlines or somebody associated with the airlines was asking, or requesting I should say, that, uh, the public does not show up to airlines, don't show up to their flights in pajamas. You know, air travel sucks bad enough as it is. Why can't you wear whatever clothes you want? There's a dress code now for flying? We going back to the 1950s where you had to wear a suit and tie to get on an airplane? Uh, sorry, it's cramped in there. It sucks, all right? If you make it a little bit better by wearing pajamas, what's it hurting? And then you have less pockets you have to empty. If you have to take your shoes off, which I don't know if you have to do that anymore. Slippers are easier to deal with than shoes. What are they talking about? What is their justification for this? Hold on. I gotta pull up the article, 'cause I'm annoyed now. Airlines, pajamas. I didn't read the article. I just read the headline and was like, "That's stupid." Transporta- "Transportation chief offers advice to increasingly angry Americans. Maybe we go back to an era where we didn't wear our pajamas to the airport." Okay, he's talking about, you know, people misbehaving on online or on airlines. I- I don't think that it's people in pajamas usually, is it? Is there a- an association between what people wear and, 00:09:04,339 --> 00:09:38,540 [Speaker 0] you know, their behavior? He's ju- just asking people to be nice. Yeah, he's saying, "Let's go back to the Golden Age. Let's go back to the 1950s. Maybe we should dress up a little bit." Get outta here. What are you talking about? [laughs] Oh, I- All right. I gotta settle down. Get myself worked up here. I'm gonna start feeling like crap. Couldn't even do a couple loads of laundry in the last couple days without starting to sweat. Like, "Oh, I'm gonna die. I fed the pets. Ugh." 00:09:38,540 --> 00:09:59,600 [Speaker 0] Yeah, uh, I would like to encourage you to wear your pajamas on the airline. That's what Victor Wiltz says, "Wear your pajamas." Okay. I'ma be back in a minute, okay? We're gonna get through this morning somehow. [rock music plays] Where did the last week go? Last thing I remember 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:39,900 [Speaker 0] was being at the Trans-Siberian Orchestra show, then a trip through the abyss. It sucked. I hope everybody's feeling good. The crud is going round. Oh. My poor lady woke up with it in her chest this morning. I'm like, "Oh." I was- I was really hoping she skirted it and got by and didn't, uh, catch it, 'cause it had been this many days. Ah. Ugh. Anyhow, I'm gonna try not to whine too much today, but I did not enjoy myself [laughs] the last few days. 00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:43,079 [Speaker 0] Very, very unpleasant. 00:10:43,079 --> 00:10:54,400 [Speaker 0] The only good thing that could come out of it is like, you know, today being an easy content day, I should have five days of content to dig through. Looking around online, I'm like, "Well, 00:10:54,460 --> 00:11:47,740 [Speaker 0] aside from the stupid 'Don't wear your pajamas to the airport,' did anything else happen in the last few days, notable?" I still see people fighting about the mayoral race. Uh, you know, today, final day of... What's the phrase I'm looking for here? Early voting. Oh, my brain. Yeah, final day of early voting, I believe, so if you want to avoid the big lines at the polls on Tuesday, get out and, uh, vote today. Uh, I think I'm gonna wait 'til Tuesday. Even though I'm, like, so much better than I was, I still don't wanna be around people. [laughs] Like yesterday, I think it was yesterday, I ended up having to make a- a trip to just the store, and 00:11:47,740 --> 00:13:54,742 [Speaker 0] one- one simple little get out of the house was like, "Oh. Yeah, I'm- I ain't gonna be around any people. Stay away!" [laughs] Ugh, and I don't think people realize how brutal it can get. Um...P, I'll, I'll find something to talk about. It's out there. I'm, I'm just, uh, scrolling, all right? Cut me some slack, okay? Today's brain, it's a bit foggy. And y- as you know, I do this live. I don't like pre-record my show and spend hours editing it and then release it to you. Yeah, um, you get what you get with this program, all right? Some people can do it, some can't. Doesn't mean it's always great, especially when, you know, you got a little bit of the fog going on still. But there gotta be something to talk about aside from people fighting about the mayoral race. Just make sure to get out and vote, and then Tuesday we can finally be over with it. Well, no, I'm sure we'll have a few days of people continuing to fight about the results, and then eventually people will move on to fighting about something else. So, get out and vote. It's the proper thing to do. If you're feeling up to it, you can do it today at your local elections office, otherwise Tuesday. Just go to your, your polling place and get the job done. [heavy metal music] Puscifer band's gonna be hitting up Salt Lake City at the Maverick Center... Is it May? I don't know. I was looking at other crap. [heavy metal music] I didn't look up the date. It's at the event calendar on our website. You can go check it out for yourself. RiverbendMediaGroup.com/calendar. Uh, anyhow, kind of a light news content day, but at least people are, I guess, talking about useless crap online. [heavy metal music] Uh, people asking about dating stuff. That's always a fun topic on this show, isn't it? Yeah, what is your unconventional "I need this in a partner" that you will not negotiate on? I was looking through this 00:13:54,744 --> 00:14:30,204 [Speaker 0] and there were some interest- interesting responses. I tried to think about this for myself, but I, I don't think I have any unconventional, um, needs. You know, you just want somebody who's honest with you, who'll take care of you when you're sick, [laughs] things like that, someone who's just helpful. I don't know. Not a weirdo like some of these people online, that's for sure. Uh, I'll skip that one 'cause it kind of makes sense. But, uh, 00:14:30,204 --> 00:16:58,544 [Speaker 0] some of these, you know, even if they're a bit weird, I understand. I'm like... Okay, the first one that I skipped, we'll, we'll talk about it. The person says, "As a widow, I feel like I'd need a widower. Seems like we'd be a bit more understanding of each other." Yeah, I, I don't know what it's like to have your partner die. It's gotta be awful. Um, so I could see that type of understanding being helpful, uh, if you've gone through that type of event. Um... Oh, sad. Yeah. Le- let's keep it nice and sad this morning. All right. Sorry. All right, this person says they ask right away if they believe in dinosaurs. I think that's a fair dating question. I won't get into the details, but to me, fair question to ask, 'cause f- from my personal perspective, if somebody said no, I'd be like, "Oh, okay. All right." [laughs] I don't know if we're gonna be compatible here. All right, let's see. All right, this person says, "Fear of birds." Yeah. [laughs] Oh, so th- th- they're saying if somebody's afraid of birds, they're, they're out. They're not gonna put up with their guy doing that. [laughs] They're like, "Hey, you're asking for unconventional." It says, "What a turnoff it is to feel your man flinch when making out because a bird in a cage chirped." Well, sorry, lady, I ain't the guy for y- Sorry. Uh, birds, you know, I've, I've had 'em dive bomb me plenty of times. They got those, you know... They're dinosaurs. Dinosaurs that evolved. They, they give me the creeps. You know, me, I don't like anything except basically kittens. That's about it. I'm learning to deal with a lizard, but do you think I've tried to, uh, pick that thing up? Heck no. Looks ready to bite me, even though it's a baby. [laughs] Let's see. This guy says, um, "Left my last girlfriend because she didn't completely open anything. I hate having the tinfoil cover under the lid to the sour cream. It's now a requirement and the first thing I ask anybody I date." That's unconventional. Um, I don't think I would mind that too much. [laughs] 00:16:58,544 --> 00:17:12,223 [Speaker 0] This person insists on dating people who know how to juggle. Yeah. How, how, how hard is it to find that? I, I don't know anybody who can juggle, at least that I'm aware of. Maybe it's a skill people don't just show off. 00:17:12,223 --> 00:18:11,024 [Speaker 0] Ability to make decent potato salad. Now, that's a plus, but a requirement? I don't know. I mean, I'm lucky. I'm lucky. I got, uh, a lady now who cooks really good. I've, uh... It's amazing. It's amazing. I've always been the one who generally cooks, but yeah, she's excellent. All right. Hoo, I, I keep, uh, getting going, then I'm running outta steam. And it's the first day of drinking any coffee in like five days. I better, uh, I better take a break, people, 'cause I'm getting beat. You know that you're outta whack when just talking wears you down. [laughs] [heavy metal music] It actually is. Is it not? School's out, I think, for most kids. Ah, you remember getting a full week off for the Thanksgiving holiday? Yeah, that was nice, wasn't it? I remember. [funky music] Not no more though. Nope. 00:18:12,212 --> 00:18:18,132 [Speaker 0] [instrumental music plays] I guess I did get two unintentional days off this week, but 00:18:18,132 --> 00:18:24,672 [Speaker 0] they weren't fun. Okay? Yeah. You get a few days off work, 00:18:24,672 --> 00:19:08,292 [Speaker 0] it's better if you're not feeling like just complete trash, like the worst you've felt in over a year. Hmm. One of the worst, uh, sicknesses you've ever had. That's, that's no way to spend days off during the Thanksgiving week. So I hope you're not dealing with that. Okay. What was I gonna talk about here? Oh, being sick. Yeah. I mentioned that happened to me for the last five days. I'm no longer contagious, I'm good to go, but still certainly not 100%, feeling just gross pretty much, probably because I didn't really eat for five days, but 00:19:08,292 --> 00:19:45,052 [Speaker 0] I did manage to finish that movie Eddington. Yeah. It took me a few, few different, uh, chunks, but I was able to, over the course of a couple days, finally finish that movie. And it wasn't because the movie was bad. I just figured, all right, if all I'm doing is sleeping, during times when I'm awake, I might as well try to watch some of this movie. And I generally enjoy watching kind of uncomfortable and unpleasant things when I'm sick so I can be like, "Yeah, you know, it could be worse." This time, I was feeling so sketchy 00:19:45,052 --> 00:19:58,312 [Speaker 0] I couldn't even watch that kinda stuff. Watched a few comedies, [laughs] but I did watch Eddington and, uh, it goes off the rails, 00:19:58,312 --> 00:20:28,292 [Speaker 0] but, uh, and, and that was about the only, uh, sort of uncomfortable movie I could make my way through, uh, during the last few days. Oh, watched the new Conjuring movie. That was... It was all right. It was all right. Eddington was good. It was really good. [metal music plays] I would not put it, you know, anywhere near Hereditary or Midsommar, but it, it was worth a watch. I'd, I'd, I'd probably watch it again too 'cause it took some unexpected twists and turns and 00:20:28,292 --> 00:20:41,512 [Speaker 0] I, I think there's little... Like with all of Ari Aster's movies, little things you'll notice once you've watched the entire movie. But it, it was, it was good. It was good. Um, 00:20:41,512 --> 00:21:53,811 [Speaker 0] yeah. No, not one of my favorite movies of all time, but I liked it. Seems like I watched some other movies too, but I don't know. Little, little bit foggy there over the last few days. I don't know what that... how five days went by [laughs]. That sucks. But yeah, if you're, you know, looking for something that might catch you by surprise, Eddington, it, it, it could be enjoyable. It was kind of a bad movie to watch when you're sick though, 'cause it takes place in 2020 during like the peak, uh, pandemic and y- you know, the pandemic's a big part of what the movie's about. [laughs] So I'm sitting there watching it and I'm like, "Ugh! Oh! Oh no! Do I have... Do I have COVID again?" No, it wasn't that, just the flu. Ugh, which... The last time I had COVID, I didn't think it got any worse than that. I don't know. The, the flu I just got, that... Oh, it could've been worse. It was not cute. Not cute. Oh, it's good to be somewhat back to reality. Holy crap. [metal music plays] If you're feeling, like, sketchy this morning, 00:21:53,812 --> 00:22:18,172 [Speaker 0] do not read a thread on Reddit called "ER workers, what is the weirdest or craziest case you have had walk into your emergency room?" Yeah. I'm not going to read you these things 'cause you might be feeling a little bit sketchy this morning. Uh, I've, I've been feeling whack for about five days 00:22:18,172 --> 00:23:04,872 [Speaker 0] and I guess I was mentally still not ready to read through that kinda thread. You know, the, the ER is a place where some unpleasant things can happen. I was like, okay, this will be fun and wacky. Yeah, right at the beginning they're talking about a guy who got struck by lightning. Immediately gets unpleasant because, duh! Somebody got struck by lightning. All right. That is an unusual case, I'm sure, when you're working in the ER when somebody gets struck by lightning, but then the details... Ugh! I can do without. So now after I horrified myself reading through that, I'm like, "W- what am I gonna talk about? What am I [laughs] gonna talk about?" My brain is now cooked 00:23:04,872 --> 00:23:36,132 [Speaker 0] like that, uh, person struck by light... They ended up b- They were fine. Okay? They were fine. All right? Now, Stuart sent me a link to something I've been seeing pop up on social media a bunch today, which is weird because it's like five years old. Story about a woman who sent a guy more than 65,000 text messages after one date, and then I guess she broke into his house and, uh, took a bath. 00:23:36,132 --> 00:23:58,732 [Speaker 0] Yeah, I would say, you know, after the 10,000th text message or so, you might wanna contact the police. [laughs] Especially when some of the messages were threatening. They're saying it could have been up to 159,000 text messages, about 530 a day. 00:23:58,732 --> 00:24:20,512 [Speaker 0] At what point would you contact the authorities? Or, like, can you just block the number? Ugh, that's gotta be bad. You know, they find out where, where you live. Never tell anybody where you live on the first date. [laughs] What if they're a psycho like this? I mean, uh, luckily all she did was break in and take a bath, but still- 00:24:21,696 --> 00:24:28,276 [Speaker 0] [instrumental music] I get annoyed when I, I get a few phone calls. [laughs] 00:24:28,276 --> 00:25:15,176 [Speaker 0] You send me 500 text messages in a day? Yeah, you, you definitely got some blocked user happening, like, day one. Day one. Ugh. I guess I'm feeling lucky, haven't had to put up with any of that kinda crap. [laughs] Uh, hope you haven't either. Hope you haven't either. Anyway, I'm gonna dig up some fake news. There's gotta be a decent amount, where I got five days of material to dig through. We'll see. Wish me luck. [instrumental music] Well, they're arresting people now for ding dong ditch. [laughs] Maybe it's better. Maybe it's better to just start arresting kids 'cause 00:25:15,176 --> 00:26:04,116 [Speaker 0] if they keep it up, you know, they're just gonna get hurt. It ain't the good old 90s or 2000s anymore. People are, like, shooting at kids and stuff. No, I, I guess that one of the new ding dong ditch challenges is, like, going up and just kicking a door repeatedly as hard as you can. Um, that's different than ringing the doorbell and running away. Okay, that sounds like someone's trying to kick your door in. That's how you end up, end up, uh, seriously injured, kids. You don't want... You don't wanna do that, okay? So, I don't know where this was at, but it said they were arresting people. Oh, in Florida, of all places, trying to keep the kids safe. But yeah, big difference between ding dong and then 00:26:04,116 --> 00:26:17,516 [Speaker 0] the sound of someone trying to kick in your door. I, I think that I might go to the door aggressively as well, [laughs] if in the middle of the night it sounded like someone was literally trying to break into your house. 00:26:17,516 --> 00:26:30,636 [Speaker 0] I don't know. Kids are dumb. They do some dumb things, so maybe, maybe if they start hearing other kids are getting arrested for it, it'll, it'll prevent some deaths, you know? These, these are just the times we're in. 00:26:30,636 --> 00:26:36,376 [Speaker 0] Uh, let's see here. Why, why isn't my computer cooperating with me? 00:26:36,376 --> 00:27:22,576 [Speaker 0] We got Thanksgiving coming up tomorrow. I may or may not have mentioned in the past, I'm sure I did, that Friday after Thanksgiving is known as Brown Friday, 'cause it's the biggest day for plumbers year, [laughs] year round. And Salt Lake City has been crowned the clogged cop capital. Clogged capital of the US, and you gotta forgive me for not being able to speak today. Okay? I'm coming off the flu, all right? It's been rough. And also, I do my show live. I don't pre-record it and spend hours editing it so it sounds, you know, perfection. You get what you get, flubs and all, 00:27:22,576 --> 00:27:48,576 [Speaker 0] 'cause I don't give a crap. Perfection sounds fake. All right. Anyways [laughs], so make sure to, uh... Alright, I'm, I'm not gonna give advice on how to deal with the toilet. Your parents should've taught you when you were young. [laughs] You don't wanna be the person that clogs the toilet Friday after Thanksgiving. So, it's 00:27:48,576 --> 00:27:52,496 [Speaker 0] a major problem, okay? Um, 00:27:52,496 --> 00:28:23,956 [Speaker 0] multiple flushes is, is okay. That's as far as I'm gonna go on that one. But congrats to Salt Lake City, number one in the US for clogging toilets after Thanksgiving. That- that's great. Now, let's see here. What else did I have? Oh, don't use a barbecue to heat your home. Yeah, that- that's bad, okay? It's called, uh, carbon monoxide poisoning, and you can die. Um, 00:28:23,956 --> 00:28:58,056 [Speaker 0] don't do that. [laughs] I know that, uh, heat bills can get to be inexpensive but just use... Use the proper heat, okay? Gas-powered equipment inside your home, a gas grill, not good. Uh, a couple in Fresno currently recovering after trying to stay warm overnight with a barbecue grill inside of their living room. No, don't do that. Okay? Should be common sense, but you never know. Never know. Maybe somebody out there right now is 00:28:58,056 --> 00:29:44,376 [Speaker 0] like, "Man, it's chilly. What should I do this morning?" Not that. All right? Not that. All right. I got plenty more tabs open. The computer seems to be cooperating. We'll see how it goes for the rest of the show. Hope your morning's going good. I'm gonna, I'm gonna keep digging to find garbage to talk about, okay? But again, cut me a little bit of slack. I do it live, and I'm post-flu today. So, it's not gonna be perfection, people. No edits. [instrumental music] It's uh, I guess Wednesday. I've been living on another planet for the last five days. I hope you're doing good, feeling well. But, you know, it could always be worse. I mean, I- I've 00:29:44,376 --> 00:29:52,056 [Speaker 0] been pretty sick before. That was about as sick as I've ever been. But at least, you know, my roommate didn't shoot me 00:29:52,056 --> 00:30:36,419 [Speaker 0] while we were fighting over a rifle, 'cause we wanted our turn to shoot at rats from the second story window. This was over in, um, West Virginia. A couple guys just hanging out, shooting rats. And then they started fighting over the gun. Next thing you know, one of them gets injured. Cops show up, and they're like, "Oh, you know, we were just trying to clean this rifle. Accident happened." But they eventually fessed up and admitted that, uh, yeah, they were shooting rats. Yeah, not, not a good activity. Um-[instrumental music plays] But the guy's gonna be okay, even though he, he did take a gunshot to the head. Uh, 00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:42,199 [Speaker 0] just hanging out up in your, uh, upstairs bedroom shooting rats, it's, it's just not a, a safe activity, Peaches. 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:42,920 [Speaker 1] No kidding. 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,300 [Speaker 0] No. So welcome, Peaches. 00:30:45,300 --> 00:30:45,860 [Speaker 1] Thank you. 00:30:45,860 --> 00:30:47,140 [Speaker 0] Have you been here at all this week? 00:30:47,140 --> 00:30:47,880 [Speaker 1] No. 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:47,980 [Speaker 0] Me- 00:30:47,980 --> 00:30:51,919 [Speaker 1] Well, I was here for the first part of Monday, and then, yeah, I left. 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:58,720 [Speaker 0] Uh, yeah. I made it to about 1:00 PM on Friday and was like, "Okay, this is not good." 00:30:58,720 --> 00:30:59,200 [Speaker 1] Mm-hmm. 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:06,220 [Speaker 0] And then, uh, yeah. I won't get into the unpleasantries of it, but did you have any nightmares? 00:31:06,220 --> 00:31:10,800 [Speaker 1] No, I had a weird dream last night that my mom said I had a club foot. 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:11,400 [Speaker 0] Oh, okay. 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,780 [Speaker 1] Yeah, and she's like, "It's common with people your age." And it's just some weird- 00:31:14,780 --> 00:31:15,350 [Speaker 0] Okay. Well- 00:31:15,350 --> 00:31:16,700 [Speaker 1] She's like, "You're walking weird." I'm like, "I don't-" 00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:18,240 [Speaker 0] I, I won't even discuss- 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,970 [Speaker 1] And I, and I was like, "Look who's talking." And [laughs] just had- 00:31:19,970 --> 00:31:19,970 [Speaker 0] [laughs] 00:31:19,970 --> 00:31:21,860 [Speaker 1] ... this whole fight between me and my mom [laughs]. 00:31:21,860 --> 00:31:34,379 [Speaker 0] Yeah, I won't even discuss the, uh, horrific dreams I was having. You know, three nights of just sweating all night, just waking up just soaked, and I was having the craziest, horrific nightmares. 00:31:34,380 --> 00:31:40,380 [Speaker 1] I was, I think I was having the, uh, when you lay in bed for too long. Are they called, like, bedsores? 00:31:40,380 --> 00:31:43,980 [Speaker 0] Uh, that's what you get, but, uh- 00:31:43,980 --> 00:31:44,620 [Speaker 1] [laughs] 00:31:44,620 --> 00:31:47,200 [Speaker 0] ... I, I think you have to lay in bed a really long time to get those features. 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:58,480 [Speaker 1] Yeah, no, no, I wasn't laying in bed that long, but my head was starting to really hurt from just, I don't know, from I think the heat was on, and then I'd, like, vary between the heat and the cold. And yeah, it was just- 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:04,780 [Speaker 0] Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm sure you probably had the same thing going on that I did. It, uh, sucked. Sucked bad. 00:32:04,780 --> 00:32:08,630 [Speaker 1] I'm glad I didn't have the chest pain though, 'cause that, that would've really freaked me out. 00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:25,780 [Speaker 0] Dude, yeah, yeah, I'm sure it would've freaked you. It freaked me out bad enough that I went [laughs] to the doctor. [laughs] Well, and it was so painful, I was just sitting there shaking. I, it was so painful, and I needed to cough, and every time I coughed I would just pretty much scream in pain. [laughs] It hurts. 00:32:25,780 --> 00:32:26,840 [Speaker 1] My cough is bad. 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:26,910 [Speaker 0] Yeah. 00:32:26,910 --> 00:32:30,760 [Speaker 1] That's the only thing, my cough is bad, and it makes my, makes like this part of my spine- 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:31,040 [Speaker 0] Ugh 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:31,620 [Speaker 1] ... hurt. 00:32:31,620 --> 00:32:36,740 [Speaker 0] Yeah, it was, uh, straight brutal. Straight brutal, but, uh, 00:32:36,740 --> 00:32:40,839 [Speaker 0] better now. The fever's gone, and I was cooking, man. 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,719 [Speaker 1] It's hot in here today. 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,820 [Speaker 0] Hot. Is it hot in here? 00:32:44,820 --> 00:32:47,160 [Speaker 1] It's hot in the Cannonball studio and also in this room. 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:55,880 [Speaker 0] Mm-hmm. Well, we can turn the AC on to do the noon hour. We'll just, in case we had different sicknesses, we'll do the, uh, social distancing. 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:56,270 [Speaker 1] I wasn't- 00:32:56,270 --> 00:32:56,270 [Speaker 0] Six feet apart 00:32:56,270 --> 00:32:58,710 [Speaker 1] ... gonna wear the fucking mask today just to be nice [laughs] but- 00:32:58,710 --> 00:33:02,980 [Speaker 0] When I went into the doctor I was wearing one 'cause I knew I had something bad going on [laughs]. 00:33:02,980 --> 00:33:14,320 [Speaker 1] I stupidly thought, I'm like, "You know what? Maybe I'll get my beard trimmed today just 'cause, the day before Thanksgiving, make it all stylish." But I'm like, "You know what? The barber doesn't wanna get sick." I'm like, "I'll wear a mask." I'm like- 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:14,520 [Speaker 0] Yeah 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,340 [Speaker 1] ... wait a, wait a minute, uh, you can't trim the beard with a stupid mask on. 00:33:17,340 --> 00:33:19,480 [Speaker 0] I mean, you said you don't have a fever, right? 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,650 [Speaker 1] No. I'm okay- 00:33:20,650 --> 00:33:21,000 [Speaker 0] You're sure? 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,040 [Speaker 1] I'm okay temperature-wise and everything. 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:23,680 [Speaker 0] You're sure? 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:24,380 [Speaker 1] Yeah. 00:33:24,380 --> 00:33:24,900 [Speaker 0] Okay. 00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:25,469 [Speaker 1] But it's just like- 00:33:25,469 --> 00:33:28,980 [Speaker 0] 'Cause if you're packing something different to me and I pick up something new, I'm gonna kill you. 00:33:28,980 --> 00:33:32,720 [Speaker 1] No, no, no. It's that mine was literally like what you said, the shaking, the cough. 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:33,100 [Speaker 0] Okay. 00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:42,160 [Speaker 1] The, like, it just felt like, uh, I think Josh and Jeff saw me walking down the hallway with all my stuff on Monday, and I'm, like, just shaking up a storm. 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,400 [Speaker 0] Okay. Yeah, that's when it's time to go home. 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:44,900 [Speaker 1] Yeah. 00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:50,840 [Speaker 0] So everybody stay safe out there, eat your vitamins. Uh, 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,260 [Speaker 0] you know, talk to your doc. 00:33:52,260 --> 00:33:54,400 [Speaker 1] I do have a bag of oranges if you want one. 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,540 [Speaker 0] Uh, no, I have no appetite. I've had no appetite for five days. 00:33:57,540 --> 00:34:02,040 [Speaker 1] For some reason I just keep eating those 'cause I'm like, "Yeah, vitamin C, that's all I need." 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:10,839 [Speaker 0] You, you, yeah, I mean, that's, it's good. I've been taking vitamins too, been forcing them down. I, I just have no appetite. You know how much I love cheeseburgers. 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,500 [Speaker 1] Yeah, even that to me sounds awful. 00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:13,150 [Speaker 0] Yeah. My favorite- 00:34:13,150 --> 00:34:14,779 [Speaker 1] My Thanksgiving's gonna suck. 00:34:14,780 --> 00:34:23,779 [Speaker 0] I, I'm guessing I'm not doing Thanksgiving. I don't think that's gonna be happening. It's not in the cards, so 00:34:23,780 --> 00:34:24,120 [Speaker 0] oh, well. 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:32,620 [Speaker 1] Which, I mean, I don't really care for Thanksgiving food overall, but it's just I'll be at a place where all the smells are in the air and stuff, and everyone's gonna be chewing on turkey and then I'm gonna be just disgusted. 00:34:32,620 --> 00:35:54,840 [Speaker 0] Ah, yeah. I, I just have a pretty good feeling it's, it's not in the air. It's not happening [laughs]. So anyway, I'm gonna take another little break here. Peaches and I are working on, uh, getting some things done around here. Sorry that the show sucks today. It is what it is. [upbeat music plays] All right, if you're gonna bid in an auction, you should make sure to read the description. Sometimes things that seem too good to be true, or most of the time, they turn out to be too good to be true. Especially if you're bidding on real estate in San Francisco, it's very expensive there. So this couple thought they were getting the steal of a lifetime on a, uh, two unit building right next to their home, multimillion dollar home. Bid $25,000, and then they won the auction, and they're all excited like, "Woo." Um, they just bought basically a dirt alley. Now, you might be able to do something with this, right? Build a, a tiny home. I, I don't know, like, they don't have pictures of the, the stupid dirt, you know, alley here, but with how much land period costs in San Francisco, 00:35:54,840 --> 00:36:24,960 [Speaker 0] seems like there's gotta be something you could do with it. I don't know. Still [laughs] can you imagine just dumping $25,000 on a, a dirt alley? I'd be frustrated. I mean, I ain't got the dough to do that, that's for sure. I don't, I don't have the dough to dump $25,000 on an actual two-unit building like they thought they were getting. Would've been great though, right? Oh man, turn around, sell it cheap, just make some bank. 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,199 [Speaker 0] That would be luck, but yeah 00:36:28,200 --> 00:37:53,372 [Speaker 0] [laughs]. Gotta read the fine print. It, it wasn't even fine print.[rock music] I guess in the, in the auction, it was very accurately, uh, described. They just saw the address and were like, "That's the house next door." Um, [laughs] never rush into spending your money. Always, you know, take a breather, kick back, really think about things, analyze the listing again. As you, you know, sometimes these screw-ups might cost you even worse than 25 Gs. [rock music] Yeah, today, I knew I would be okay to go to work. And you know that you're recovering from something pretty brutal when talking is, like, just draining. Did a few breaks earlier where I talked for a long time, and I was like, "Oh, I'm so tired [laughs] at the end of it." Ugh. Yeah, wash your hands. Stay safe, people. There is some nasty crud going around right now. Just scrolling Facebook, I'm like, "Oh, I'm not the only one." Okay. Well, I'm not gonna say that's good [laughs] 'cause I don't want anybody to not be feeling well, but it's nice to know you're not alone sometimes. Ugh. You know, in the, in the depths of the darkness 00:37:53,452 --> 00:39:12,631 [Speaker 0] over the weekend at some times, I- I felt alone. Lost! Help! It was bad. [laughs] Ugh, and I just couldn't, like, pick anything to watch. Everything sounded terrible. I did watch a little bit of Welcome to Derry, the IT prequel. Th- that was pretty cool. I think I got, like, an episode and a quarter down. Pretty brutal, pretty brutal, for sure. I w- I was impressed. Gonna have to watch some more of that. But, you know, I was getting sketched out by too much stuff. I ended up watching Borat part one and two. Yeah. Classics. I don't know. Borat movie, it's just one of those feel-good movies for me, like, uh, The Hangover. I- I can watch that any- anytime, and I'm just happy to watch it. Started watching Casino, and that sketched me out. Like, oh, this movie's got some darkness in it. Oh, oh. Give me Borat. Borat it is. Yeah, if you've never seen Borat, one or two, you know? Very good movies. Very funny. Very nice. 00:39:12,631 --> 00:40:20,912 [Speaker 0] So yeah, I'm just, ugh, beating myself up for not being productive. I did do a few things, uh, like yesterday. Yeah. You know it's rough when you, you know, clean the cat boxes and take the garbage out, and you're like, "Oh, I wanna die." [laughs] I'm feeling a little beat now. Walked up and down the stairs. Oh. I know, I know, I'm out of shape. But it wasn't that, 'kay? I can do that normally, no problem. [laughs] Well, hopefully, yeah, this weekend I'll make up for it. Too much crap to do. All right, I'm gonna try to find myself a list of things to watch. I think I need one more day to just sit. At least I get to sleep in tomorrow. Yeah. You know, Thanksgiving, don't have to come here. But I will be in on Black Friday. Doubt we're going to be doing any, uh, traffic school, powered by the advocates. Probably be doing ask me almost anything, 00:40:20,912 --> 00:40:37,471 [Speaker 0] and I will probably be one of the only people in the building because, uh, yeah, I- I can't take Friday off. [laughs] Yeah, nothing more aggravating than having to use your vacation time 'cause of 00:40:37,471 --> 00:42:32,911 [Speaker 0] brutal sickness. Ugh. [rock music] Thought I had something open to talk about. Uh, Peaches and I have been multitasking here, getting the- the noon show done. So there is a noon show recorded and ready to go. You'll hear us fumble and stumble on when Stranger Things season five starts, which was today. I guess, uh, yeah, you can watch the first four episodes. That sounds pretty good to me. Sit down, watch new Stranger Things. I- I think I'm down for that. Probably need to watch one of those quick YouTube recaps 'cause I don't remember what happened in the first few seasons, and I only vaguely remember parts of, you know, season four. So thankfully, they have those YouTube recaps that'll catch you up on everything. I remember I had to do that with, uh, Better Call Saul when that show was about to wrap up. So, uh, the first four episodes today. I think, I think we said, uh, Christmas? Christmas Eve? Is when the, uh, next three drop, and then the season finale, the show finale, I should say, on, uh, New Year's Eve. So that's pretty cool. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I guess it's Christmas. Sorry, not Christmas Eve. And then you only have to wait a week, and you can check out the- the series finale. Hopefully, they do a good job wrapping it up. Nothing worse than when a show wraps up badly. Ugh. That, that just sucks. You know, luckily, some of my favorite shows, they wrap 'em up great. You know, Breaking Bad crushed the ending. Better Call Saul crushed the ending. The Sopranos, they crushed the ending. But do you remember Game of Thrones? Oh! Come on. 00:42:33,956 --> 00:43:19,136 [Speaker 0] [laughs] They just rushed it. It, it should've been spread out by at least another season. They packed way too much into that final season to where they, they couldn't let the story just play out at a proper pace. It... I don't know. I thought the plot elements were fine. The execution, just terrible. So hopefully Stranger Things, they do a good job. [instrumental music plays] Uh, the world of multitask and mayhem prevented me from talking when I should have a few minutes ago. It's a rough day up in here. Surviving, though. Surviving. Hope you are as well. [instrumental music plays] And Peaches and I do have a new Hour of Madness and Mayhem show becoming your way. 00:43:19,136 --> 00:45:36,736 [Speaker 0] It's not gonna be the greatest, people, 'cause me and Peaches both feel lousy. Okay, I shouldn't even talk that loud. Put that kinda energy into talking, start sweating again. Jeez. But don't worry, I'm not contagious. All right? I waited til I was far beyond when the doctors said, "You'll be good to go to be around people and go to work," to come back to work. Fine. All right? I mean, you could still stay away from me. That's fine. I'm not gonna mind people avoiding me, 'cause I've had enough people recently. Anyhow, I hope you have a wonderful holiday. You know, be safe. Give yourself some extra travel time. Be patient. Don't fight with your family and friends. Try to make it a good holiday for all, and then, uh, I'll be back on Friday. Black Friday edition of the program. Hopefully feeling, you know, a million times better than today. And today, I'm already feeling a million times better than the last few, so that's [computer dings] good. But yeah, if you start feeling sick, I recommend you get in and get that checked out. Okay? The docs, depending on what you got going on, might have some meds that can really help you out. I wish [laughs] I would've gone about two days earlier, 'cause, uh, yeah. First day, and taking the doctor-recommended medication for what I had going on, by the next day, i- it, it was a game changer. So yeah, if you start feeling gross, just get in and get checked out. Don't sit around trying to be tough. Just do it. [laughs] All right? Please take my word for it. It's worth it. All right. Again, happy holidays, all. I'll see you on Black Friday. And I don't know what I'm gonna go do now. I, I, I guess I'll figure it out. Anyway, you're all the best. [instrumental music plays] Thank you again for tuning into the Victor Wilt Show.
