4:26
just i just don't uh live on on 20 the 24-hour news cycle i don't think doug does either but i'm just saying that i
4:34
don't pay attention to it that closely and then when i do see stuff i'm like "oh my god really?" well i do i do
4:40
follow the 24-hour cycle in terms of my phone but i i'm i'm constantly my
4:47
anytime i open a new tab it's just nothing but politics and pop culture stories so uh so um so how how was your
4:55
weekend how was your week uh it was it was pretty non-eventful i uh i got my i
5:00
got myself a new therapist yay i had plus plus for therapy yeah thumbs
5:07
up for therapy therapy is always good it's uh uh someone once said to me that
5:13
therapy is like uh unlearning all the shitty things that you grew up learning
5:18
and uh like yes learning how to adult by someone not in your family
5:26
is another way of somebody putting it so but yeah no i was i was playing i was
5:31
playing a lot of the uh a lot of the music off of my profile and one of them
5:36
is actually a uh a version of the theme song but in a different style it's the
5:42
same lyrics and everything but the music's different oh okay it's a is that one i made or you
5:48
made it's one that i i i made off of yours i i i like i i did the uh remix it
5:54
or whatever the remix thing and i told it to do it in the style of isiziqua post punk so it sounds like modest mouse
6:01
modest mouse yeah and i dis today i discovered how to get it to sound like
6:07
allison chains so i've been i'm really happy i've been making all kinds of stuff today oh and i'm sure those bands
6:13
will be well credited i mean it's i mean i'm i'm not like i'm not stealing their
6:18
lyrics i'm just i'm i'm inspired by their sound is what it is we're we're
6:23
we're we're just borrowing their essence yeah you know and sununo suno is a lot
6:28
of fun especially if if you want to hear a specific style of music and you want a topic that is you know something you
6:35
enjoy so uh lately i've been doing a lot of like uh thrash and and uh death metal
6:42
style music and uh and i've been doing stuff about pop pop pop culture some of
6:47
my favorite fandoms so there's a lot of songs about star wars and ghostbusters and transformers and it's all sounds
6:54
like metallica [ __ ] so you know yeah fun fun fact our theme song was literally
6:59
the first thing i ever created on sunno the very first thing yeah and it's it's a good song it's it's a definitely an
7:05
earworm man it it is absolutely an earworm it it sticks in my head for about 48 hours after i hear it and every
7:12
single one of the people that i've talked to uh both of them who have listened to our show other than us they
7:18
both talk about how they get the song stuck in their head all the time so that's that's a plus so yeah i i put the
7:24
uh i put the the version of my version of the song is on my profile it's the first song that's listed there uh racing
7:31
minds was it racing minds spinning wheels spinning wheels racing nine spinning wheels
7:39
are we going to hear some of it i can play yeah hold on i wasn't here for the interlude can you hear that
7:48
can you hear it [Music]
7:53
i don't think i am it's playing at first i like i i could
7:58
tell there's something going on
8:06
how about now
8:13
it's a technical difficulty show it's you know what it is it's
8:18
it's uh google meet doesn't like uh sharing that stuff it won't let us do it
8:26
for whatever reason whenever do you have that uh like mute mute that's mute
8:32
sounds that's not speech thing yeah i i i uh well hold on uh
8:40
use this when making calls from your computer prevents echo i have that
8:46
turned off so that shouldn't be it um
8:57
i don't know it's i think it's because you're both on the same channel
9:03
and that's why you're not hearing it so if i play you know what hold on i can play it from my phone
9:09
that's what i'll do hold on gorilla style wait a minute did i actually get a call i got a missed call oh well you've
9:17
got to be on top of that wait no that was from 8:30 this morning never mind i like wait a minute i had a missed call
9:23
i had a i had a mis call from you but then i realized it was when i was at your house and i called my phone
9:35
let's see i'll play it from my phone that that will give it it'll be on a different channel you should be able to
9:41
hear that
9:51
okay
9:56
what not allowed
10:04
oh there we go can you hear that i can hear that
10:11
let me turn it over here we go
10:17
like i said i did this in the style of izzy qua post punk modest mouse
10:24
[Music]
10:37
i'm not really getting modest mouse from this but i definitely get a seattle sound
10:44
i don't know it it sounds like it to me [Music] but uh i've only heard like three or
10:50
four songs of theirs on on a repeat so
10:57
[Music] i think that gives us an idea [Music]
11:04
i i think maybe the vocals are not right but the music i think sounds i think it's really bass heavy too so i don't
11:12
know yeah when i think modest mouse though i think something a little more plucky a little more uh uh like plucking
11:19
strings rather than power cords oh yeah i mean they definitely use power chords too but but they're they're very you
11:26
know a lot of modest mouse well not a lot of it but they they actually are one of the bands that employ like backwards guitar backwards guitar so they play
11:33
yeah like you record it one way and then you play it backwards for the record yeah so they have some pretty neat riffs
11:41
a little bit of trivia for people um i went to isiqua high school in the late 80s early 90s and uh the singer for this
11:48
for modest mouse was also at that same high school when i was there he was a freshman did you guys win at the same
11:54
time we i was a he was a freshman when i was a senior i didn't know him at the
12:00
time why would you yeah i i mean i didn't know him and i i don't think i would have recognized of him if i saw him in the hallways but uh somebody told
12:07
me he went to isqual high school the years he was there i was like "well [ __ ] i was a senior the year he was a
12:12
freshman." so i probably would have seen him had i been in the same like you know
12:17
in the hallways at the same time as freshman when i was a senior but our schedules were different you know
12:23
seniors had different uh we we would be in the hallways at different times than the freshman yeah they generally try and
12:30
separate the freshman from the seniors yeah so and uh and and when i when i
12:36
worked at the emp back in the early 2000s like 2010 2011 thereabouts uh
12:42
that's the the uh float on was on like a on a repeat there it was they they had a
12:48
playlist that was 30 minutes long and the beginning of the playlist was float on and it had a bunch of other like
12:54
local seattle bands all of the songs were local seattle bands and they were it was on a 30-minute loop and i heard
12:59
those songs several times a day so that song kind of like is kind of ingrained in my mind as as a as a a local local
13:08
band and you know yeah float on was basically my graduation song i graduated
13:14
in ' 04 high school okay um and that was the year it ca that was you know it was
13:19
during its popularity and that was our big song i i went to i didn't go to isizakiqua high school i went to liberty
13:24
high school which is a which is basically the rival school of isiqua high school same same district yeah yeah
13:30
and uh in fact you guys your school actually used our field when you got when your field wasn't wasn't working or
13:37
wasn't ready to be used not surprised back in the 80s yeah we had a piece of
13:43
[ __ ] field then we got a finally got a new field turf field when i was like a freshman
13:50
it looks like you're chugging rainer right now but i know it says rent yeah
13:55
rented renton yeah i uh i did one of the uh one of the
14:03
trending things on tiktok the other day is like um hey if you're from washington state let us know where you're from and
14:09
i i put seattle i always say seattle because no one knows where renton is
14:17
yeah oh i mean i'm at port orchard and i say seattle i mean every everybody in western washington they're either going
14:23
to say seattle tacoma or everett they're never going to say where they're actually from right and even people from
14:29
everett are like "uh seattle north of seattle." and people from tacoma are like "fuck seattle we're not going to
14:35
say seattle [ __ ] that we're from tacoma." because you know at least the people i
14:43
know that live in tacoma all say that because uh they they there is like an
14:48
unspoken beef between seattle and tacoma at least at least within the the comedy there's always a little rivalry yeah
14:54
there's definitely a little friendly rivalry between tacoma and seattle tacoma tacoma you know they have a lot
15:00
of interesting political stuff going on in tacoma um got a friend who's running for city council down there and he's
15:05
getting all the endorsements uh he was the photographer for uh for governor eninsley okay um and he's a he's a
15:12
big-time photographer guy but he's get gotten into politics recently and um
15:19
he's a i know him from narin narn van narn van i i know i know him i don't
15:24
know him well i know him by name and i recognize him when i see him but he doesn't know me i don't fair enough i
15:31
mean yeah he might know of you you might a little i'm sure i'm sure my cousin has mentioned me or my cousin todd or i i
15:39
know that uh that um the host of uh of uh monday night's uh open mic in renton
15:47
will like call me out sometimes when i'm in the audience
15:52
which one which host uh ah [ __ ] uh it's talking or dylan or yeah sorry i was i
15:58
was my adhd in his brain was like it's this guy but [ __ ] you you don't need to know his name um uh so yeah dylan uh
16:07
last one of the last times i saw him down there he was actually hosting and uh he says "raise your hand if you're a
16:13
comedian or what raise your hand if you're not a comedian." i raised my hand he goes "put your hand down todd you're
16:19
you're almost a comedian." i go "what does that mean is that like is that like is that like munching by proxy?" because
16:25
i'm around a bunch of comedians i just am one because i'm in within punching
16:30
distance of somebody who is one you know well i know in my memory i think it just in everybody else's memory is it feels
16:37
like you've been on stage a lot more times than you claim to have been i literally have been on stage a total of
16:42
like maybe 10 times in in the last shocks me um i i uh my first time ever
16:50
on stage was at the underground in seattle and i got the most laughs ever there because like half the crowd was my
16:56
friends and uh and which which is one of the reasons why it's i think bringer
17:03
bringer shows are probably better because then at least you know people are going to laugh even if it is a courtesy laugh from your friends right
17:10
um or they i've heard this so so many times
17:15
you know i can we better laugh or he gets upset it was like um last time i
17:21
was down there was a couple weeks ago and uh this comedian his name is fei he
17:27
got on stage and did this joke about uh about autistic people and i was sitting
17:32
up front because that was the only place to sit and i i didn't want to stand and he looks at me goes "this guy wants to
17:38
come up on the stage and whoop my ass because of that joke." i got "no no." he's like "no i'm just autistic." and
17:45
everyone laughed everyone cracked up because he was making fun of autistic people
17:51
you know and i said "no i didn't laugh because i'm autistic and it wasn't funny." so you know and uh so yeah but
18:00
uh he goes "i'm sorry." like "yeah you're i' i've heard that joke so many times i could probably recite it word
18:06
for word you know?" i mean he it's it's a joke that he should retire but he
18:11
still tells it because like three people in the back row always laugh because they're his friends you know the other
18:18
the other cringe comedians that like to go up and tell jokes that are um you know uh anti-woke or uh not uh not
18:29
left-leaning politically so they they'll make fun of liberals and and and they
18:36
don't come out and say they're protrump but you might as well have kind of thing you can tell yeah you know you know they
18:42
voted for trump all three times like i'm not protrump but i do guest on the steven crowder podcast
18:51
yeah so um so it looks like we have one viewer on
18:56
each of the streams hi guys go ahead and say something in the chat so we know you're there otherwise we think you're
19:03
bots i'm pretty sure the one over on steam is a bot um because of the re the
19:10
the reream uh thing here but uh i don't know about the uh the youtube because there is
19:17
someone watching over on youtube let's see if i can click on that and just as a reminder for for those listening uh live
19:24
this is a politics and pop culture show we're just kind of doing a a free form call-in episode uh just started here
19:31
about 10 10 20 minutes ago um we do have some stories we could talk about while
19:38
we wait for see if anybody wants to call in or or chat message us um we'll read
19:43
your im we'll uh we'll be happy to talk again if you want a topic to talk about
19:49
tell us your uh diagnosis for america or bring us your favorite uh you what you've been binge watching lately or
19:55
just a a fun geek or weird story what's the weirdest thing that's happened to you recently um anything like that we're
20:02
happy to chat i i did put some stories for geek this weekend and that's some weird [ __ ] for this uh for tonight but
20:10
we can always use those for next week or we can talk about them i don't know yeah well as we need we're probably going to
20:15
need to fill some time i mean let let's be real here nobody's going to call prove me wrong people but nobody's going
20:20
to call yeah it looks it looks like the uh the the person that's watching is
20:26
probably just the uh reream thing so it's not really a person watching it was
20:32
like but uh uh so i did have one story that
20:39
might be kind of weird okay what is it have you heard about this the woman who disappeared from wisconsin 62 years ago
20:46
finally found i think we talked about that a couple weeks back didn't we did we already okay maybe this is an old
20:52
story then it just showed up on my feed yeah because uh yeah she was she was found and it turns out she was trying to
20:58
get away from her abusive ex and didn't want to and she i guess privately she's
21:04
going to reconnect with her family and stuff that didn't know she was you know what happened to her
21:10
well that shows you how much i pay attention to your parts of the show hey don't feel bad it's all good
21:17
i mean generally i do but yeah i missed this one uh but uh yeah uh why don't you
21:25
give us a weird one then well one of the things i had in here because i didn't have a lot of weird stories so what i
21:31
did was i i was just looking up uh some like uh uh um uh urban legends and uh 10
21:41
washington state myths was one of the things that popped up on my thing and i thought "okay this could be
21:46
interesting." uh this is coming from uh 560 kpq 101.7 fm i don't know where that
21:54
is but that's the website kpq.com uh i'm assuming it's a local station uh
22:02
it says washington state has its share of urban legends some are easily explained others might never have any
22:10
credible explanation one straightup one is straight up spooky here are some of
22:16
the washington's most popular myths let's count them down number 10 lost
22:22
treasure near old blew it blu
22:29
it uh in 1905 a scottish immigrant named thomas douglas supposedly buried a box
22:36
of stuff uh box stuffed full of gold coins not far from his uh his old blue
22:44
cabin it says in quotes here "when the neighbor looked towards douglas's cabin
22:52
she saw a human figure bearing a large wooden box about 100 yards from the
22:57
cabin other later that night the weather changed drastically and snow fell
23:03
heavily in old blue lit erasing the evidence of any digging." not long after
23:09
this account thomas died when the snow melted in the spring word spread of this
23:15
mystery box buried box treasure hunters from all over the region on wild digging
23:22
spray on a wild digging spree no one ever found the box uh of gold
23:31
i'd never heard of that one uh number nine is the vashon island bike tree and
23:38
there's a photo of an old rusted out bike inside the trunk of an old tree
23:46
and i mean i think most people know how that works a tree was uh put up in this
23:52
little tree when it was still young and then it grew around the around the bike yeah the it looks like the bike was probably set in the crook of a little
23:59
branch or something and then it it grew around it yeah yeah um and then there's
24:04
uh this one i didn't know i'd never heard this one before number eight is uh there's a giant octopus under this
24:11
tacoma narrow's bridge i mean everyone has seen the video of galloping gertie you know from like the
24:18
early 1900s pretty much anyone but especially if you've been in the northwest you've definitely seen the
24:23
undulating flapping bridge in tacoma didn't wasn't the
24:29
maxwell whatever the company that made the the audio the recording tapes remember was it maxwell
24:36
you know what i'm talking about no i mean the video you talking about the video of it there's a video a commercial
24:42
for maxwell who made like uh audio cassettes for recording and oh okay yeah
24:47
i knew the company okay yeah they the they did a commercial where it's like you it shows uh it shows the you know
24:53
the guy who's got the uh the turns the speakers up and it's blasting music and and it causes the the wine glass to move
25:00
towards him oh right right right so there's that commercial but there's also one that involved the video of galloping
25:07
gertie where he turns the music up and all of a sudden the whole bridge starts to undulate and starts to kind of like
25:13
move around and you see the car in the middle of the bridge kind of like swaying back and forth um so that's the
25:20
only thing i've ever heard about uh the tacoma narrows so i've never heard any
25:25
stories about a a uh a giant octopus a giant octopus living down there you know it would it would be really cool if
25:31
there was something down there because you know back when apparently it's true though oh wow i did not know that
25:39
apparently these are all true or what's the what's the conceit no i don't think they are true i think that these are
25:44
just popular popular urban legends about western i see okay uh but uh so i mean
25:51
this is one of those things that should have been on mythbusters you know what i mean yeah yeah cuz it just says here you're
25:57
one of the world's largest species of octop octopus does make its home in the ruins of galloping gertie oh okay there
26:04
you go i mean but they're they're saying it like it's a fact but uh maybe maybe maybe that's just how they're presenting
26:09
things here uh
26:15
well the next one sounds true too number seven lake washington underwater forest
26:20
divers yeah i've heard i've heard about that there's like um yeah i guess the trees were displaced by a landslide from
26:26
a major earthquake along the seattle fault around the year 19 around the year 900 ad okay
26:33
i've heard that there's but then they have bigfoot sasquatch and which we know of course is true yeah they uh i've heard stories of like there being trains
26:40
under lake in lake washington trains like yeah like full like full steam engine with like like uh it fell oh like
26:48
they ran it out there to dispose of it or something no i think it fell in when they were trying to like when they were originally building the uh the floating
26:56
bridge the original floating bridge yeah and it sank it fell it fell into the lake so that's what i remember hearing i
27:02
don't know if that's true um but uh the the video of us on camera keeps
27:09
disappearing and that's because the the uh google meet keeps um going
27:16
it's the audio is not going away so that's good people can still hear us they just won't see us if i click away
27:22
from it um where was i oh yeah uh oh yeah gosh rain
27:30
uh bigfoot sasquatch ufos at mount reineer
27:35
the first recording of the the word flying saucer happened uh thomas arnold
27:42
i think his name was uh who said that the there was uh
27:47
something flying near mount reineer that looks like uh saucers skipping across
27:53
water but uh turns out it was just bigfoot skipping
27:58
stones you know i it's uh that's ridiculous ufos that's ridiculous it was obviously
28:05
bigfoot skipping stones i mean it's what's funny is there are people that believe that sasquatch or bigfoot are
28:12
actually extradimensional beings and that's why we can never see them that's why people only hear them and uh you
28:19
know maybe bigfoot is blurry that's the problem there's an out of focus sponsor
28:25
roaming in the countryside and to me that's extra scary run he's fuzzy what
28:30
is that from that's funny that's mitch hedber oh okay so um uh i keep losing my train of
28:40
thought my train of thought was derailed and there was no survivors it ended up in lake washington yes uh but yeah mount
28:47
reineer i guess is a hot spot uh it says the u the term ufo started from reports
28:54
of fly nine flying saucers near mount reineer on june 24th 1947 mere weeks
29:00
before the us government issued and retracted a report of a crashed saucer
29:05
near roswell new mexico so we got it first before new mexico
29:10
um of course number four is db cooper everyone knows who db cooper is if you don't then you don't really care about
29:18
uh conspiracy theories uh so basically what happened was this guy back in the
29:23
year i was born uh i was probably still in diapers when this all happened db
29:28
cooper jumped out the back door of a northwest orient 727 on a cold november
29:34
evening in 1971 at the time of the fav famous jump the jet somewhere above
29:40
washington or uh oregon border uh he jumped with $200,000
29:46
and a parachute who was he did he survive and uh there have been people
29:52
claiming to be db cooper but nothing has ever been like confirmed you know and
29:57
there's people that believe that uh that where they think he jumped out is not really where he jumped out that he
30:04
jumped out entirely in a different spot in the northwest he was going the wrong they think he was he went in the
30:10
opposite direction that people think he went so uh see by the way i know it's 1971
30:17
and it is a lot of money in 1971 but still i don't know if i would do that for 200 grand
30:24
i mean if if someone handed you a backpack full of money and they said "all you have to
30:31
do in order to to to be able to spend this money is you have to to do some parkour
30:38
parkour you're gonna be running around parkour parkour parkour
30:48
but so what do you think happened with db cooper like what do you think the real story is do you think he died do you think he died on the way out do you
30:53
think oh do you think there was a db cooper do you think like somebody just threw the briefcase out and tried and figured they'd go get it later like
31:00
actually it looks like i got we got a voicemail hold on let me see if i can play this oh what happened to the call i
31:05
didn't know i don't know why it didn't ring but we got a call from steven ward you remember stephen right oh yeah hey
31:13
hey and todd stefan ward how's it going i just had into your podcast i think you
31:20
said that no one would call so i am calling
31:25
and leaving a message so anyway uh i'm just uh listening to you guys talking about urban legends here so anyway uh
31:32
join the pod talk to you later bye so stefan uh is is an we got a call an old
31:39
friend of ours from stefan is the best he's he and his twin brother were doing standup when i first got into trying
31:47
comedy back in the early 2013s 2011 right stephan stefan's brother scott who uh like like todd said they're twins
31:53
scott is who like scott doing standup every week gave me the confidence to keep going because i was like if scott
31:58
continues to do it well then they can't mind me too much yeah yeah and and you know these and those two were they they
32:05
did dad jokes and they were stephan does my favorite dad jokes of all time
32:11
i don't know why it didn't ring it didn't ring or i didn't hear it ring or something happened maybe i should turn
32:16
the volume up on the on the yeah make it so you can hear the calls we're doing a live calling show we need to know when
32:22
the phone is ringing maybe i should try calling them back since i have his number here but uh startounding people
32:28
we'll just start calling hey stephan go ahead number down that call leave a comment on the stream let us know if we
32:34
can call you back i'll call you back if that's okay um so i he uh when i start
32:40
when i first met these guys both of them were telling dad jokes and and they were like grownable dad jokes and and and you
32:48
know it's a good dad joke if you're like "oh my god dude what the hell?"
32:53
and uh and he some of his dad jokes were just hysterical i i would groan but at
32:58
the same time i would be laughing my ass off uh yeah i i used to so i never ended
33:05
up doing this on stage but whenever i would write like just a just a corny dad joke or any kind of a dad joke i would
33:13
put it down in a list called scott ward's diary
33:19
and if i was ever going to tell him on stage i was just going to pretend that i stole them all from scott
33:25
uh no he uh so um in fact um i think
33:31
right around the time that i i met those guys uh i was looking for a job and stephan's like "hey man uh they're
33:37
hiring at nintendo if you want to try if you want to if you want to come fill out an application or u submit your resume."
33:44
i was like "i worked there before i don't know if i can go back but i'll try." they have me they have a little picture of me that says "do not admit."
33:50
i don't think i'm i don't think i'm banned or anything but i don't think they would they would see that uh no he
33:56
left they have a sign that just says no todds uh well you know to to be fair um
34:01
it was when i when i was in training at nintendo of america it was like 2007 and
34:07
i was in training to do support for the brand new wii and the uh dsi which was
34:14
the dsi was the handheld ds and it it was the first ds that had the camera on
34:19
it and uh so i was doing i was learning to do support with those and i i understood
34:25
how to set up wi-fi and all that [ __ ] and how to and they showed us how to
34:31
like reset the devices so if people were having problems they can just do a reset and whatever else and uh the problem i
34:38
was having was the the setup they had for looking up the information was this
34:43
old like archaic info base from like 1982
34:49
and it was it was like it was difficult to to navigate because it it was not intuitive at all you couldn't just type
34:56
in super mario brothers and it would pull up you had to open specific info bases for specific styles of games for
35:03
specific systems and and it was always three or four or more layers deep before
35:10
you find the answers you're looking for and i was just like why can't i just type in the keyword of what i'm looking
35:16
for and it just pops up what i need doing all this extra [ __ ] is is like
35:21
counterintuitive and like well this stuff works we're not changing it i was like does it though
35:28
[Laughter] i'm a very techsavvy person and i'm having difficulty navigating this system
35:35
and uh so i think that was that was why i end up like i washed out of the training system the the training for
35:42
nintendo america and uh i think i tried to go back later is when when stefan
35:48
like said "hey you know they're hiring when you want to try out." and i i i submitted my resume to the to the head
35:54
hunters for uh for nintendo and i never got a call back so i just assumed that
36:00
they saw my name and looked it up in their in their info base assuming they could tried this before and he says
36:06
"yeah he washed out he didn't he didn't want to learn." i was like i could i couldn't it wasn't making any sense to
36:12
me i was just it was confusing it was i was frustrated and i just was annoyed by
36:17
how [ __ ] you know how how clunky this the looking for information was
36:24
i they were insulted by your feedback yeah well the the the the upside to that
36:29
work experience is i did get to meet the voice of mario so that was cool
36:36
i know stephan talks about that guy he's met him before yeah i'm sure he has many times he's he's been working there since
36:43
i want to say like the mid to late 80s he was he was working there out of high school i think so yeah he's been working
36:49
there forever he updates us every every year yeah he's like i sur i survived another
36:56
another 12 months working at nintendo of america i was like i mean you say it like it's a bad thing he's really he's
37:02
really good about posting all his various anniversaries to the fact that we're like i swear he was like posting his his marriage anniversary like three
37:09
times a year but it's just cuz he like it's cuz he like notes the wedding their first date like their engagement like
37:16
he's on top of it yeah i mean and he works at nintendo for a living he's got it made we appreciate we appreciate the
37:23
call stephan taking time out of your perfect life he he has he has the he has the job that everyone wanted i think if
37:30
i recall correctly he started as a game counselor and uh yeah and tester yeah yeah and
37:36
then he now now he's a tester he's been a tester ever since they i guess they closed the uh the uh the phone number
37:44
for the game counselor yeah you can call and ask questions now for from from customer service and tech support but
37:49
they're no longer game counselors and u so just a reminder for people listening this is the adhp podcast with doug and
37:56
todd where we discuss stefan and scott ward i mean those guys are funny i i haven't
38:03
seen them at at at uh actually take that back i saw stephan like a month and a
38:08
half ago like beginning of the year maybe and it was the same night that uh
38:14
um [ __ ] i'm trying to remember that guy's name um pretty well-known comedian
38:19
he's he's like famous for doing like the jean simmons um uh impression on on
38:25
howard stern and uh oh i feel like i should know who that is yeah and my brain is just like
38:32
"no i can see him in my mind's eye and i can visualize the guy." and he's really
38:38
funny he talks about he talks about growing up in his his mom and i think
38:43
his sister or somebody else in his family both of them were uh born deaf
38:48
and they can't they can't speak and apparently they have the darkest sense of humor of anybody in his family and
38:56
and the reason and i think his i think both of his parents are deaf and his sibling he's the only one that can hear and talk so and that's i guess that's
39:04
how he learned to like mimic other people because oh craig gas you're talking about craig gas craig gas yeah
39:10
now he's a he's a he's a cool dude he seems like a cool dude anyhow um he's he's he comes down to renting every once
39:16
in a while when he's trying to work out some some material at the uh craig gas used to be on facebook his facebook name
39:23
was uh craig nobody that you know and then he would he would routinely show up
39:29
under the people i may know and i was like that's it's a great bit people you
39:34
may know craig nobody that you know yeah oh well [ __ ] you facebook yeah stefan just came up in the chat room says craig
39:41
guess is probably who you're talking about yes craig yes we figured that out we figured it out we got we got it we
39:47
got there you know it's uh yeah um so yeah it's uh
39:54
i don't know why it didn't ring hold on did i get another if the phone doesn't ring it's me

40:28

40:34
i have i have do not disturb is turned off let me turn it back on and turn it back off again and is the volume up
40:44
the volume is up you were able to hear the voicemail but i mean like the ring the ringer you know what maybe that's it
40:51
hold on yeah you got all your [ __ ] muted
40:57
do i need to adjust the ringtone on this this is like me during the workday oh sorry i missed your call i was not
41:03
paying attention
41:09
uh
41:14
see my favorite detail is uh when i used to work reception at the uh at the front desk that's where i started with my
41:20
company was at the was at as a receptionist and uh i'd get a call and and i'd have to pass it through to the
41:26
gm and the gm would be like who who was it and i'd be like i realized i forgot to ask and just be like uh i don't know
41:33
uh they sound nice yeah you know it's my uh let me try
41:40
restarting the app there we go hey stephan try calling in
41:47
again i'll be looking at my phone this time so if it i mean you don't you know you you've called in twice you don't
41:53
have to call in again but if you if you want to feel free um do we want to run through a couple more of these uh what
41:59
we're at uh caddy the sea monster you want to yeah what is let's look at that real quick because i don't know what
42:05
that is i've never heard of caddyy the sea monster caddy scotland has nessie
42:10
washingtonians have caddyy the sea monster there have been over 50 sightings of caddy since 1930 through
42:17
washington the washington side of euget sound and the canad can canadian
42:23
uh straight of uh of georgia area caddy has also been seen near shores of alaska
42:30
and oregon huh what's it supposed to look like i mean i suppose it looks like
42:36
like nessie it's the same kind of of creature i think so you basically so it's a whale's penis you see a you see a
42:43
hump of some sort or a whale's penis you know it's entirely possible cuz um we do
42:49
get we do get orcas out here that's that's probably just some like little kid that's like "oh mommy what's that?"
42:56
uh that's just uh that's caddyy the sea monster yeah that's that that's totally not a dork which which is which is a
43:03
technical term for no that's more more like what is caddyy the sea monster some dork you know what's funny i remember uh
43:11
i don't remember where it was from but somebody said in a movie that a dork is just a whale's penis i was like oh my god really so every time you call
43:18
someone a dork you're just calling them a giant penis that's true it is true so
43:24
now i like this one this uh number two on the list of washington state myths lake union islands
43:31
so springtime 1962 a couple of mysterious islands appeared not far from
43:36
gaswork park in lake union the army corps of engineers think it was caused by dumping of fill dirt from the recent
43:43
construction of i5 and then university of washington students quickly named one of the mystery islands chalan island
43:50
which makes me wonder did the udub students go out on the island like could you actually was it solid enough that
43:57
you could go party on it like you're in chalan you know even if it wasn't they probably did
44:03
help i'm sinking through the island i'm well see when i was in in high school people would go out to lake lake uh
44:10
seamish and there was a sandbar out in lake seamish that people used to go out to and they would bring out their
44:15
coolers and their and their uh folding chairs and just you know and boom boxes
44:21
and listen to music out there so yeah it was just like a party spot at the lake away from all the families
44:29
have you ever partied on lake shalan lake chalan i've been to lake shalan when i was a kid uh the year the year
44:35
that stripes came out i remember so you they didn't let you drink very much though i was a little kid so no um the
44:40
year that the the year that stripes was in theaters is when we were at lake chalan because i remember seeing it at the chalan movie theater all your
44:47
references it's like the year they came out with the wheel that was when
44:53
[ __ ] you doug i'm not that old man
44:58
i am that old man though um
45:04
uh you get off my lawn the the next one is actually something i've actually heard of mel's hole mel's holes and it's
45:10
actually the basis for that sounds hot it's it's it's it's the inspiration for that that that that tv show they had uh
45:18
um thanos on it oh the actor who played uh the older brother on the goonies oh
45:24
you're talking about james brolan or whatever his name is josh brolan his son yes there you go josh brolan had a tv
45:30
show i think it was on uh on um one of the streaming services and and it was basically about this guy who had a ranch
45:36
and it has this mysterious hole in his on his ranch and he would toss things in it and things would disappear in it and
45:42
it and they would come back two or three days later kind of thing and i was reading up about this show because i was
45:47
like this is a cool show it's a sci-fi show it had i think two seasons before it got cancelled and uh let me see if i
45:54
can google what the name of that damn show is josh brolan hole ranch yeah quickly
46:02
google josh brolan's hole
46:09
oh wow it's deep
46:14
okay oh the show is called outer range i for the hot second i thought you were
46:21
gonna say outer rim it was it's on prime so it's on amazon
46:27
prime it's called outer range and it's about this this rancher who finds this big [ __ ] out in the middle of his
46:34
ranch and uh i'm not going to give away anything but he falls into it and then
46:39
some things happen and yeah and it's a whole there's a whole drama to it
46:47
yeah oh stefan says "i'll i'll call back once you finish the urban legend stuff."
46:52
okay so we'll we'll we'll finish up on that then uh
46:58
and then uh yeah that's actually the last one the mel's hole near ellensburg
47:03
and this is what it says here it says "the story of mel's hole was a mysterious and spooky pit located eight
47:09
miles west of ellensburg near mana stash
47:14
ridge." he claimed it to be as deep as 8,000 80,000 feet 80,000 feet so the the
47:22
story i heard was actually the original story i heard from this uh was on one of those uh like uh ancient aliens shows on
47:30
history channel and they were talking about mel's hole like why are they talking about some dude's butthole i don't understand why are they talking
47:36
about mel's hole but uh so i'm sitting there listening to this and he's like "yeah apparently the
47:41
government like seized the land when he disappeared and there's a there's a fence around the property where this
47:48
hole apparently is and you yeah so but yeah no i was like why are they
47:55
talking about some dude's hole meanwhile there's a hole in china where junk just starts falling out of oh [ __ ] where does
48:01
it come from it's like it's like the um what was it uh australia i think it was
48:08
started like randomly a few years back started uh things uh remember the the
48:14
the uh the garfield phone the one that was like you pulled
48:20
the the handset off his back and oh yeah yeah yeah the body was like the the base for the phone and apparently these like
48:27
were was randomly just showing up on the the beach i think it was australia and
48:33
uh the phone was the phones they were just showing up on the beach just these like a shipment of them had had an
48:40
accident yeah and well and for years they were like randomly showing up in uh
48:45
on the beach and then someone discovered that there was a uh a a container
48:51
ship that that that lost some containers in in one of the containers was a huge
48:57
shipment of these phones and they were just after years of erosion and rust
49:03
from these from the container these uh packages of these phones are like
49:09
surfacing and then the the current is carrying them into the beach
49:14
just the nature's giving us our our garfield more jim davis merch that we didn't get
49:20
back in the 80s man but uh yeah so that so that does it for that
49:26
list so yeah stephan if you want to call back in go ahead todd may actually look at
49:31
his phone this time i'm looking at it right now i have his number right here if he says okay i will just call him
49:38
directly because apparently him calling in is not ringing through for some reason but uh it might ring through this
49:45
time because i reset the app it's the google voice number so it may uh because
49:51
it's been on do not disturb for so long maybe it doesn't know that it's not it doesn't know how to ring anymore it
49:56
doesn't know how to ring anymore but uh yeah
50:02
no i think i think we should we should definitely like uh talk stefan into doing and his brother both into doing
50:07
standup again yeah well maybe maybe we can uh warm
50:12
them up to the idea get them to come on the show and uh and they can they can release some of their oneliners on here
50:18
and we'll get them and we'll give them some good feedback and pressure them to get back on stage what jokes have they
50:23
been using to to uh like embarrass their kids yes
50:29
did your dad ever do stuff to embarrass you while you're out and about you know uh i mean my dad was just kind
50:36
of an embarrassment in general but but did he purposely do and say things to like you know oh my god dad stop it my
50:45
dad he'd be like he would act like he was mentally incapable of breathing and
50:51
uh so he would go "hey guys basically trying to do an impression of sloth from
50:58
the goonies and uh and he would yell in the middle of the grocery store where you guys at i
51:05
don't know you i don't know you go away." oh my dad would not my my dad
51:10
would embarrass me just by like just start talking to an employee at a store and just not just right in the middle of
51:18
the employee like helping another customer my dad would just start talking to them and just go off for like five 20
51:23
minutes your dad is info dumping on the on this poor guy and he's like i don't really care about you know widgets and
51:30
warlocks and you know whatever else oh we had my uh we had my my stepson my
51:36
younger stepson's ninth birthday this weekend and we uh we hosted a tie-dye
51:42
tie-dye and pool party at our house and uh his one of his friends is also the
51:47
son of his of his resource teacher so uh she came over too and uh by happen
51:54
stance she ended up sat next to my dad and the entire party for like 3 hours
51:59
straight he was just he was just on her ear just just going just regailing her
52:05
with his entire life story i was like should i go rescue her and i
52:11
was like no i i have too much other stuff to do
52:18
yeah now my dad he would do stuff like that or he would um
52:24
he would he would ask stupid questions of employees
52:29
um i'm trying to think of something he would say it would just anything that would like cause anybody to like "oh my
52:37
god i don't know him i i i don't he's not my dad someone call the police." you
52:43
know kind of thing i'm going to wander away i'm going to start walking home i you know what i can catch a bus you know
52:51
yeah so in fact you know what maybe i'll just walk out in front of one no that was when my dad was you know
52:58
just trying to be silly or goofy that wasn't when he was being like mean and nasty he would say all kinds of horrible
53:05
horrible [ __ ] you should never ever hear from your father is your dad still around no luckily for me he died a
53:12
couple years back okay yeah no he's um he's he's uh he's um i'm sure he's doing
53:19
the backstroke with uh with hitler right now but um oh ouch no he wasn't a good
53:27
guy he was not a good guy he's um yeah fair enough
53:33
i i don't i don't mean to like start like you know info dumping about my dad
53:38
i'm sorry no we should have done that for our father's day special yeah let's let's tell stories about how
53:45
how horrible our fathers are why we don't celebrate father's day speaking of
53:51
horrible fathers do you want to do a story about trump sure
53:57
so what do we got here uh so we did have uh an unfortunate scotus
54:03
ruling this week um from cbs news supreme court sides with parents who objected to kids books
54:10
on gender identity and sexuality so the supreme court on friday this was this
54:15
past friday ruled in favor of a group of maryland parents who challenged their school district's decision to deny them
54:22
the ability to up their elementary age children out of instruction featuring story books that address gender identity
54:29
and sexual orientation so we're talking and and i've i've listened i've heard this described in other outlets as
54:36
basically a story book that was like this is a kid and this kid has two dads
54:43
and it's perfectly normal to have two appropriate yeah yeah you don't need to
54:48
you know don't be mad don't tease this kid because he has two dads that's the that's the essence of the book right two
54:54
dads or two moms or whatever yeah and and so the high court said in a 6-3
54:59
decision which if you're for those keeping home at for those keeping score at home a 6-3 decision means it was the
55:06
three liberals versus the three conservatives it was a purely partyline decision in the case of makmood versus
55:12
taylor that the government burdens parents religious exercise when it requires their children to participate
55:19
in instruction that violates the family's religious beliefs justice samuel alo of course authored
55:26
this majority opinion with the three liberal justices in descent and so this is just a this is just an example of of
55:33
our supreme court being a theocratic body it's literally like you you find
55:38
something abhorrent to your religion therefore you get to control everything
55:44
else because what this ends up doing is if you can if you have to run every
55:50
curriculum by the parents first it basically means you can't have this kind of stuff taught you're just there the
55:57
schools are just going to choose to avoid the discussion completely because
56:03
they can't afford to have a lawsuit because they didn't clear tuesday's lecture with all the parents that happen
56:09
to admit that you know two men are are the parents of
56:15
this one character in a book or something like that right you know they can't they can't take that risk that
56:22
they're going to get sued over this stuff so it's just going to go away
56:29
and and they think that you know alto writes we reject this chilling vision of the
56:34
power of the state to strip away the critical right of parents to guide the religious development of their children
56:40
they're it's basically a an attempt to brain like basically saying you have the right to brainwash your children you
56:46
have the right to completely control what they are exposed to and and to hell
56:53
with the consequences like that's basically what they're saying and it's the same thing in washington state right
56:58
now where people are people on their right are up in arms over the fact that the washington state legislature
57:05
modified the parental bill of rights so the parental bill of rights uh we've
57:10
mentioned it on the on an earlier episode of this podcast was an initiative started piece of
57:17
legislation that came about by you know one of those uh tim iman like groups
57:23
where it's supposed to be parental rights in regards to children in schools and and what parents have the right to
57:29
know and and can do and the state legislature as is their right passed a
57:35
new law that modified that initiative and and if you read the new actual
57:41
parental rights bill it's full of parental rights it's just it's not grounds for pe for
57:49
parents to keep their children brainwashed it doesn't allow for it
57:55
doesn't it doesn't force schools to protect the children from overcoming
58:01
their brainwashing if you if do you get what i mean by that kind of yeah it's
58:08
very confusing so i want you it'll help if you ask questions i'm also trying to like figure out why
58:13
it's not ringing through he says it's still going so what i did was i i put
58:18
the the the uh the i put the code in the chat for him or anybody else who wants
58:25
to join the google meet okay and and i will like if i get a a request to join i
58:32
will i will approve them to join if they want to
58:38
so but yeah but but the there's parents on the right that basically want to be able to control what the school ends up
58:45
doing and they want to be it's going to affect everyone's education because their religion has a problem with it oh
58:52
yeah well religion ruins everything for it really does you know that was i that
58:58
was a book i you know maybe i'll maybe i will go use a audio uh an audible credit on it uh but uh what's the book called
59:05
christopher hitchens how religion ruins everything okay
59:10
send me send me a message about that later cuz i'm not going to remember and i i want to check that out too or how
59:15
religion poisons everything god what is what is it called let me let me let me get this correct
59:21
crystal religion
59:28
poisons everything question mark okay yeah god is not great how religion
59:34
poisons everything that yeah that uh that tracks
59:47
and uh and and just basically what the uh in in this book hitchin posits that the
59:53
organized religion is violent irrational intolerant and allied to racism tribalism and bigotry it's invested in
1:00:00
ignorance and hostile to free inquiry it's contemptuous of women and coercive toward children and it's also sectarian
1:00:07
and that accordingly it ought to have a great deal on its conscience he supports his position with a mixture of personal
1:00:13
stories documented historical anecdotes and critical analysis of religious texts
1:00:18
his commentary focuses mainly on the abrahamic religions although it also touches on other religions such as
1:00:23
eastern the book sold well and received mixed reviews so yeah it's it's i i've
1:00:29
never read it but i've i've watched him give lectures on it a lot um you know chris christopher hitchens i was first
1:00:36
introduced to christopher hitchens uh during the iraq war actually uh in
1:00:41
opposition uh he was a prop he was a a proponent of the iraq war at the time because it was you know part of his war
1:00:48
on on islam you know he he he does he doesn't like any religion so he
1:00:54
particularly hates islam and uh you'll notice that thread was also in like uh
1:00:59
uh sam uh sam harris who's one of the new atheists
1:01:05
he has a very anti-islam bent and that's that's one of the things that like i used to be a hardcore fan of of uh sam
1:01:13
harris and uh richard dawkins and oh dawkins i have i have one of his books
1:01:20
as an ebook i have i have uh the god delusion but i i lent it out to somebody and then i never got it back i have a
1:01:27
digital copy of it if you want it you just need to have like a pdf reader or something to watch yeah i i also have
1:01:33
more audible uh credits than i ever care to use so i i think the last audible
1:01:38
credit i used oh wait no i didn't it wasn't audible it was google google books uh i used uh some google points to
1:01:47
buy uh still just a geek by will weaton okay which is an annotated version of
1:01:53
his original book and it basically the annotations are all like "yeah i was a
1:01:58
toxic person when i wrote this i'm sorry i don't talk i don't think like that anymore." uh and this is why and he
1:02:05
explains why he doesn't he doesn't act that way anymore and i was like he just
1:02:10
he spends like 50% of the book just apologizing for all the shitty takes he had in like early 2000s well that was
1:02:17
one of the things that turned me on christopher hitchens and one of the things that turned him around as an individual um uh is so hitchens has a
1:02:24
very interesting life story if if anybody ever gets into his biography um he started as like a socialist activist
1:02:30
in the 70s and 80s and then he became this hard rightwing supporter um almost
1:02:37
almost like a almost a margaret thatcher style um like he went that hard right
1:02:43
and then he supported the iraq war and he tried to make the claim that waterboarding was not torture
1:02:50
also stefan just commented on on youtube uh loving all the scrolling republican
1:02:56
hypocrisy images unfortunately the people that need to see this won't yeah
1:03:01
well share it with them stephan share share it with everybody share the video with all your republican family members
1:03:07
and friends yeah put it in their face assuming you have any
1:03:13
but uh um yeah like i said if you if you want to join the uh the the google meet
1:03:18
call that's the code in the chat um i also put uh my number on the scroll if
1:03:26
you want to call that number that will ring through uh i'm not going to say my number on the recording because i don't
1:03:33
want people outside the line you don't want prank calls later i don't want prank calls later um but yeah you can
1:03:39
call that number on the on the scroll at the bottom of the screen and that will ring through um yeah i think i think
1:03:47
when you set your that if you set your google voice account to do not disturb it stays on do not disturb i don't think
1:03:54
it you can't unlock it for some reason but uh but well speaking of being
1:04:00
disturbed so so christopher hitchens right he takes this position that waterboarding is not torture because he's backing up the bush regime what
1:04:07
okay so so here's what he does though he actually agrees to be waterboarded
1:04:13
he's so adamant that it's not torture he agrees to be waterboarded and i think it
1:04:18
was part of a 60 minutes episode that he did it on oh uh but you can look this up it's on youtube um but just if you look
1:04:24
up christopher hitchens waterboarded he does it i mean quote unquote live it wasn't airing live or anything but right
1:04:31
uh he does it on camera he gets waterboarded and he literally stops it like
1:04:38
instantaneously almost instantaneously he stops it he's like like he's like he he basically walks into this room going
1:04:45
"it's not torture it's not torture." he lays down on the bench they put the cloth over his face they start to pour
1:04:51
water and like immediately he's like gets up pushes it away he's like "it's torture it's torture it's torture it's
1:04:58
torture." and he was changed like forever from that moment it it feels like like because he made it his crusade
1:05:05
to be anti- bush from that po that moment forward and then the rest of his career as far as i know was basically
1:05:11
focused on the atheist versus pushing back on theists and and he would
1:05:17
describe himself not just as an atheist but as an anti-theist he doesn't just he doesn't just not believe but he thinks
1:05:23
it's wrong he thinks it's harmful to to have those beliefs i mean i don't i i i
1:05:29
don't disagree with that honestly i think that uh i mean religion i the way i've always looked at religion since
1:05:36
i've like completely removed myself from it is that religion is is is uh what is
1:05:42
used to control the masses you know it's it's uh i guess the the the fall of the
1:05:49
roman roman empire happened right around the time that the roman catholic church became a thing
1:05:55
so yeah i mean there's in a lot of ways the roman catholic church was just like
1:06:00
rolling in is it was just a new way to do religions they already had in a in a lot of weird ways i mean the catholic
1:06:07
church is legitimately what they did was that you know what we like that we want
1:06:12
to make that one of our holidays so we're going to take pieces of that and
1:06:17
add jesus and mary to it and then call it something else and then when we go to
1:06:23
convert people to our religion to say "hey we have a similar holiday is your your your your rituals that you do on
1:06:31
these days join our church and you can still do them and and and also become christian." so and they're they're
1:06:39
they're known for doing that that's like every every every church related
1:06:45
religion or holiday rather that we have here in this in in the united states is
1:06:50
basically borrowed from other other religions well yeah like the like christmas comes from pagan rituals of
1:06:57
like from yeah it's not even just one like easter is yeah easter comes from
1:07:03
something else like um like easter eggs is uh is something to do with like nor
1:07:10
norse religions the the ule log is from a norse holiday of the be the winter
1:07:17
solstice i mean the whole reason we use the word god as in the good the go the go the god uh that comes from norse yeah
1:07:26
isn't isn't that um isn't that uh um not thor uh odin odin odin woden and thor
1:07:34
and yeah there's a lot of overlap there which of course they're also related they're indo-european gods right so
1:07:40
they're actually related to the greek and roman gods too it's all it all comes from this indo-uropean family of of
1:07:47
religion which traces back to a a skyfather that was zeus ptor so dj j o u
1:07:57
s is how you kind of pronounce it juice and then patter p a t e r is father is the indo-uropean
1:08:05
for father so you'd have zeus pater which is where you get zeus from it's also where you get jupiter jupiter from
1:08:14
um zeus put jupiter um oh okay and so the romans and greeks both got their
1:08:21
their skyfathers from that same idea and then thor and woden both kind of share
1:08:26
similarities to that and then of course all our days of the week are based off norse mythology or or a combination
1:08:33
thereof thursday is thursday thursday wednesday is wen's day friday is freya
1:08:40
is freya's day yep and then we also have the sunday the moon day
1:08:46
okay and then saturday is for saturn i guess but i don't know where that i
1:08:51
don't know how that fits in what are we listening to now is that your ring yeah
1:08:58
we got a call hello hey stephan ward how are you finally
1:09:05
working yeah i had to i think i had to restart google google voice yeah anyway
1:09:11

1:10:12
you were waiting for no uh um you guys were talking about
1:10:19
water boarding oh yeah yeah apparently he discovered it was torture so yeah
1:10:27
do you remember when that happened steph do you remember him doing that uh no no that story that first time i've heard
1:10:33
that story actually yeah i'll go back and watch it yeah
1:10:39
definitely check it out because it's it's it's it's hilarious how quickly he's just like nope nope he just nopes
1:10:45
right out of it that's hilarious so how you been will you uh you perform
1:10:50
anywhere lately you uh got any new jokes you want to share i well i probably went up maybe a year and a
1:10:58
half ago uh back uh in the local 907 there in
1:11:03
um but uh yeah i i i did it hardcore like three years found family there
1:11:08
actually the first time i dated that colony was a tender there doug was and uh brought me up and uh yeah anyway and
1:11:16
then the career uh took off from there obviously so you know you know we we launched a lot
1:11:23
of people at benders you know we luke seide that was his first place
1:11:28
wasn't wasn't andrew wasn't andrew wonders or not wonders but uh rivers one of the guys too
1:11:35
he was already going but yeah yeah big irish jins
1:11:41
i mean he i could probably the first person to pay
1:11:47
uh pay kelsey cook to headline yeah she's doing really well right now too
1:11:53
gabeled and stuff before he went yep yep we had gabe but of course gabe was already established but we can't take
1:12:00
credit see how international comedy competition yeah a lot of things had come to vendors
1:12:06
and they tore it down and put it in a right or something so yeah yeah it's a cvs now which is but because it's
1:12:12
written you know i could go i can go to the cvs and ask for a couple boxes of pseudafed and they'll just give meth
1:12:18
that's right yeah that's one of your classic jokes
1:12:24
there doug i still got him
1:12:30
i told that joke in honolulu yeah i think the last time i saw you in person doug was it was
1:12:39
uh silus's like uh frozen carbonite
1:12:46
like a launch party yeah the nerds of comedy show well no this is this is the underground
1:12:54

1:13:00
star wars spin-off or something like that oh yeah i remember that gosh i can barely yeah anyway
1:13:07
yeah he does i still have that tv in my car frozen and carbonite have have you
1:13:13
seen his show at at emerald city comiccon he does a the real nerd comedy
1:13:18
no unfortunately yeah that's the show i was thinking of is i was on the first ever real nerds of comedy the first one
1:13:24
he did at the rendevous yeah and he does it like once a year now at emerald city comic con and uh like
1:13:32
four three years three or four years ago um jamal did it he came from new york to
1:13:37
to do some comedy at at comiccon and uh that was that was a fun weekend i saw i
1:13:44
saw you at the local months ago or a year ago whatever it was i don't know it was it was like six seven months ago i
1:13:50
think it was earlier this year i think wasn't it yeah sit on the side table by the window there but yeah yeah that was
1:13:56
that i think that was the same those same night that craig was there too yeah yeah maybe yeah i guess so yeah
1:14:04
might tell he doesn't well he doesn't host there anymore because he's working there like
1:14:10
and now that i moved from ron to coington it's a little harder to get out to the local 907 oh you're not living
1:14:16
out here you're in coington yeah i moved there nine years ago so oh
1:14:22
wow yep then i then i drive from covington to redmond to nintendo every day so holy
1:14:28
[ __ ] but i've only been i've only been there 28 years you guys was 1997
1:14:36
okay okay overshot it a little bit
1:14:41
i wasn't counted you got that right see todd just wants everyone to be as old as he is that's the thing no i don't i just
1:14:48
i just i i've become the go the guy goes back in my day we had to rewind our
1:14:54
tapes with a pencil back in my day mario just climbed a
1:15:00
construction site you guys have speaking of have you guys
1:15:06
checked out the new nintendo switch 2 just came out i i i can't afford to rent one let alone buy one dude yeah i guess
1:15:12
it is like 500 bucks isn't it you know $600 for a for a portable gaming system
1:15:18
if i'm going to spend that kind of money i'm going to go ahead and get myself a a playstation 5
1:15:25
yeah no that's the enemy though kidding i mean i had i had i had the i had the
1:15:31
oled uh switch and i had it for like a year and i i played it for like three or
1:15:36
four weeks and then i realized i still had some like three or four months left on my on my first uh year of of of
1:15:44
online and i started playing on it and then i let it expire and i was like "yeah i don't really want to spend money on that again." you know i can play all
1:15:52
those same games on my computer with no no subscription so is it true that the switch 2 is not an oled
1:16:00
um i think it's well it's 4k compatible if you have for tvs and stuff you know but uh i'm not sure that all this fixed
1:16:07
to be honest with you though i even though i work in the testing department i don't know all the technical unfortunately but obviously to look up
1:16:16
have they at the very least have they upgraded the the system you use to look up
1:16:23
information because i remember that that info base oh yeah you were talking about that yeah no this a little faster than
1:16:29
than back in the day but no when i was in the call center it was a little convoluted you didn't know where you were looking it was a long time you had
1:16:37
to go six layers deep just to look up like platforming video games and then you could search for mario brothers and
1:16:42
it would come up but you you couldn't just type in super mario brothers no but that was when i was when i was a
1:16:48
gameplay counselor people were calling you know a dollar50 a minute and you had to find the information fast and give it
1:16:54
to them so yeah that was stuff was buried in there you had to know where to look and give them as fast as possible
1:16:59
so they wouldn't you know complain you know they paid all this money for nothing i think i've told you this
1:17:05
before but because i grew up in isiqua we were in this i think we were in the same uh the same uh area code as
1:17:12
nintendo of america so i was when i called the game counselors it was a local call for me i didn't have to pay
1:17:18
yeah yeah it wasn't a 900 number no it was it was a local redmond phone number
1:17:23
and if you called from outside of redmond or outside of isiziqua even if you called from seattle it was a long
1:17:29
distance call you called from renton it was a long distance call but if you called from isiziqua or redmond it was
1:17:34
local yeah and then eventually they they the game play it changed to a 1 1900 number
1:17:41
probably in the early early 90s or so i'm guessing i when i got my nintendo it
1:17:49
the nes was what i had and i had the it was the one that came with duck hunt and
1:17:55
super mario brothers and it had the oh yeah the gray on gray zapper and one
1:18:00
that was my that was my original nintendo so but uh i had mine in 1988
1:18:05
and i've never own nintendo products actually honestly that was my very first
1:18:11
you're a loyal you're a loyal soldier stephan yeah grew up with nintendo and then once i found out they were local i
1:18:17
was like that's where i want to work 20 years hey stefan do they do they still have
1:18:24
the uh the the pikachu beatles uh nintendo doesn't i think they've
1:18:30
either got rid of them or they actually had some off for auction way back in the day or contest to give them away but i
1:18:35
haven't seen any i i didn't get a chance actually i drove mr miamoto in one of those back in 99 oh wow um so that was
1:18:44
kind of cool so yeah i've driven both the pikachu and the chrysler pp cruiser
1:18:51
across the country day when i worked there in ' 07 it was
1:18:56
parked outside in the in the parking lot right out in front of uh the uh the
1:19:01
public store that you could go in from outside you can go in there it was parked out front and i remember talking
1:19:08
to somebody online they like "yeah i work at nintendo america they have the the pikachu beetle parked right outside." he's like "take a picture of
1:19:14
it next time you go home." i was like "if it's still there i'll take a picture of it when i'm walking by it to go to my
1:19:19
car." and i did and uh they're like "oh my god it really it really is there." i was like "yeah there's two of them."
1:19:26
they had two yeah i think i drove one from um
1:19:31
where was it it was i want to say la no sorry we finished in la i think it
1:19:37
was actually willyville no god st louis we started in st louis and we drove to la with the pikachu beetle and then the
1:19:44
chrysler pti one came out with the pokemon gold
1:19:49
pokemon silver i built that one from okay tucson out to fort knox kentucky
1:19:57
anyway those were good times way back that was like 25 years ago wow
1:20:02
so how how many times have you met charles the guy who voices mario oh i have a handful of times i've got
1:20:09
dinner with him back at different events back in the day and stuff but you saw him every year at e3 when e3 was still a
1:20:15
thing in la you know oh wow got my picture taken with him but obviously he's unfortunately no longer the voice
1:20:21
of mario but he's still you know nintendo ambassador i mean he's he's no longer the official voice but he still
1:20:27
does like conventions and stuff as the voice you know he's he's he's always mario to
1:20:33
me i think he was just at summer con last weekend speaking of summer con uh
1:20:40
stephan i don't know if you listened last week but did you hear about todd and i's little adventure
1:20:46
we we we drove down to puell up to the fairgrounds thinking we could buy a ticket at the at the gate at the blue
1:20:52
gate thinking they would have tickets they were they were sold out online so i figured they have to have some at the
1:20:58
gate right so we drove all the way down there from rent he came over from port orchard to my house grabbed me and then
1:21:03
we went down to down to down to puallup we got down there no they're sold out so
1:21:08
if you have a code we can scan you in yeah i was like and then of course that
1:21:13
was the same day that the uh the guy from cobra kai got kicked out for uh for biting his co-star at the oh i didn't
1:21:21
hear about that story okay yeah i was like "holy [ __ ] we missed all kinds of excitement." and someone says "that's
1:21:27
not excitement that's sexual assault." like what i guess i didn't read the
1:21:32
whole thing i just saw that that they were in the news on cairo 7 here in seattle and i went back and looked at
1:21:39
the article and he bit her apparently uh it drew a little bit of blood and so there he got he got 86 from the con and
1:21:46
he's never welcome back locked up behind her and like his way of being like "hey
1:21:51
it's my co-star." like t rather than just like tap her on the shoulder he like bit her arm and then started
1:21:57
playfully kissing it well the the way the way i read it was she tapped him on
1:22:02
the shoulder and he just reached over and bit her hand oh is that okay that's how it went okay yeah that makes more
1:22:08
sense and uh and and uh and she's like "ow." and he's like "oh i'm sorry i
1:22:14

1:23:49
now stephan's a good guy i every time i've seen him he's always nice so yeah and then just to double check before i
1:23:55
move on we don't have anybody else in the queue do we no i haven't had any other notifications um let me take a
1:24:02
look at at google meet real quick no no requests
1:24:08
at least not that i'm seeing here let me check nope
1:24:16
all right yeah uh yeah the audio on that was not great but well i wasn't sure if that was
1:24:23
just my end because because of you know how things sound bad on my end i mean it's it's bluetooth so it's you know it
1:24:29
just it sounded really and at one point it got a little little pixelated sounding so yeah it did but but for the
1:24:36
most part i could understand what he was saying and if i can understand it over my stream we should be okay for the
1:24:43
um so before we get out of here um i do have another news story okay uh a troubling one this is so this is just uh
1:24:50
this is some new data that [ __ ] with my head um because
1:24:55
from where i stand uh and you tell me todd uh if everyone
1:25:03
had turned out to vote that was eligible to vote
1:25:09
who do you think would have won the last election kamla right right don't you like slam dunk
1:25:17
yeah no and she i i i think that i mean because we kept hearing stories of like
1:25:22
um fires breaking out in the uh in the the the vote box you know the those outdoor
1:25:29
boxes where people they would collect their absentee ballots um someone
1:25:35
firebombed one down in like uh vancouver washington and i think some some place in oregon as well and uh and of course
1:25:43
the digital manipulation too is is is is always a a conspiracy that you know uh
1:25:50
elon did something to the voting machines to to not count or switch the the vote from one to the other i don't
1:25:57
know if that's true but that's something i keep hearing so but but here's the thing though so pew apparently does this
1:26:04
research after every election at least they have for the last few um and they
1:26:10
are saying pew is a research uh a poller a pollster basically but they're a research firm trump still would have won
1:26:17
in 2024 even if everyone had turned out to vote pew finds [ __ ]
1:26:22
that's what i think but [ __ ] trump won in 2024 with just under this is coming from npr by the way uh trump won
1:26:30
in 2024 with just under 50% of the vote 49.7 to 48.2 over over democrat kla
1:26:36
harris roughly 64% of the eligible voting population turned out in 2024 the
1:26:43
second highest since 1904 2020 was the highest
1:26:48
but even if everyone who could vote did trump would have won by an even wider
1:26:55
margin 48% to 45% according to pew's
1:27:00
validated voters survey so again this is just a survey it's a post-election
1:27:05
survey of almost 9,000 voters so it's a pretty substantial uh uh
1:27:11
uh population it's a pretty u a pretty substantial uh sample
1:27:18
but voters this this uh this almost 9,000 voters was conducted in the weeks
1:27:23
after the 2024 presidential election pew verified whether they had voted or not
1:27:28
over the last five presidential elections using publicly available commercial voter files for context most
1:27:36
well-conducted national polls include roughly a thousand interviews so this is about nine times that so it it should be
1:27:43
powerful however what really matters is how you select those 9,000 like is it
1:27:49
truly random selected what is it is it weighted in any way but what happened is
1:27:54
uh pew asked non-voters how they would have voted and found they would have
1:28:00
broken for trump 44% to 40 oh wow now that's this is again this is where
1:28:06
there's room to to to disagree with this is because they're basically saying after the election who would you have
1:28:13
voted for and it's like okay well do i say the winner or the loser
1:28:20
it's who's but but this is an interesting thing is it's a big change from 2020 and 2016 when the people who
1:28:28
didn't vote said they would have chosen democrats so in 2020 they said they preferred joe biden 46 to 35 and in 26
1:28:38
in 2016 it was hillary clinton 37 to30 so it went from 3730 for hillary 46 to
1:28:45
35 an 11point gap for joe biden to trump plus 4 44 to 40
1:28:52
so that upends a long-standing belief in politics that higher turnout generally helps democrats uh younger and non-white
1:28:58
voters who tend to vote democrat are also among the least likely to vote but in 2024 trump's coalition grew it got
1:29:05
more ethnically diverse and younger which is scary yeah in 2016 almost nine
1:29:11
and 10 trump voters were white 88% were white in 2024 it dropped by 10% to 78
1:29:19
meanwhile harris's coalition got whiter 64% of harris's voters were white compared to 60% in 2016 for clinton and
1:29:27
i think this i think this is reflective of the decision to campaign heavily with
1:29:32
the cheneys basically the idea to run a bull work style right-leaning strategy
1:29:38
it it it did its job of making the voter the of making the harris voters more
1:29:44
white of getting more white people to vote for harris but it's at the cost of her base yeah i don't know if you can
1:29:50
see this or not it's my harris t-shirt yeah that's the one you were wearing when we were
1:29:56
was it the la was it when we went to the con or i think so i was thinking i was wearing it that day yeah
1:30:02
and uh but here's the thing though so 15% of biden's voters did not vote 2024
1:30:09
5% switched to trump and 1% voted for someone else that's compared to 11% of
1:30:16
2020 trump voters who sat it out 3% who switched to harris and 1% who went for
1:30:22
someone else but that 15% of biden voters not voting like that's
1:30:28
that to me is the ball game right there like there was 15% of biden voters did
1:30:34
not vote 11% of trump voters did not vote that's your 4% right there
1:30:40
trump netted 4% by losing less i don't know i just i i think i think uh
1:30:48
i think they really should like do a recount i i don't know if they can at this point
1:30:53
if it's it's if it's uh no they they certainly cannot but it's it's just i
1:30:58
mean they could do a recount like the media could do a recount like sort of like what they did in florida in 2000
1:31:04
like they could pay for a research firm to do it but you're never going to really know if that's the true number
1:31:11
and but what i want to know is is this
1:31:16
is this bit of of factf finding by pew is this poll enough to have to stop
1:31:23
laying the trump regime at the feet of people who didn't vote yeah i don't know like that's because i
1:31:31
mean we've admittedly been hard on people that don't vote and not just us but everybody on on our side it it
1:31:37
really feels like they let it they're the people that let us down and i still disagree with this data but i guess
1:31:44
until we see more we kind of have to cut them a break and and maybe that's for the best like maybe we should be saying
1:31:50
hey it's not about did you go and vote for the lesser two evils it's let's give
1:31:55
people something to vote for let's not worry about chastising people over their
1:32:01
lack of a vote when maybe it wouldn't have mattered but what we need to do is go out and put
1:32:07
out something that makes them want to vote let's get let's get people excited about voting let's give them something to vote for and that's something we saw
1:32:16
i don't know if you heard about this uh uh mamdani uh zordon mdani uh the in new
1:32:23
york you heard about him yeah yeah he uh he's he's basically going to be uh the new mayor i think at this point well he
1:32:29
won the democratic primary so some places are reporting it as he's going to he's the slam dunk for mayor uh eric
1:32:35
adams and mario and uh cuomo uh andrew cuomo are going to uh challenge him but
1:32:44
if if cuomo stays in the race after talking to stephan i keep want to call him mario cuomo but he's andrew cuomo uh
1:32:51
if he stays in the race that'll help uh uh mdani but zeron is he is a democratic
1:33:00
socialist who i who aligns with the democratic party but he's a democratic
1:33:05
socialist who is actually campaigning to give new yorkers things they want and
1:33:10
it's working it's actually getting young people and a majority of democrats to
1:33:16
vote it's it's getting people out there you want the other
1:33:23
you might as well wow thank you sir free drinks yeah roommate
1:33:29
just handed me uh i it's called irish death well let him know mine's empty uh
1:33:35
i could use one doug wants one too
1:33:40
[Laughter] irish death is a good is a good stout
1:33:48
yeah that's pretty tasty yeah i do like it so i i was i was playing i was
1:33:53
playing with an ai earlier today and i sent doug one of the ones i did but oh
1:33:59
so that was something you actually made i was confused about what i was seeing and so it's called try parentai.com
1:34:05
and you could you can select a celebrity voice and put in words and and it will
1:34:11
generate a video i made one uh using three different voices and i'm i'm gonna
1:34:17
i'm see if i can get this to play hold on and the clues all point to it was old
1:34:23
man trump and mr musk i would have gotten away with it because i have the
1:34:28
concepts of a plan but you meddling kids and your antifa and i would have gotten
1:34:35
away with it if it hadn't been for you meddling kids
1:34:42
what do you think that i i think that's a one i want those as drops
1:34:50
well i mean i have them saved in the google drive so you can grab them if you want if you want and i can i can put
1:34:55
them on the on the on the on the board too but uh no i was just thinking i like
1:35:00
what if what if we turned what if we turned uh trump and musk into into scooby-doo villains and then aoc is like
1:35:07
one of the kids you know oh okay and then i uh yeah aoc would be
1:35:16
a good uh velma yeah that's kind of what i was thinking and then i did uh i did

1:40:04
yeah if we don't get we're not getting any more callers so we're going to invent our own callers i mean honestly i i wanted to do that
1:40:10
with my last podcast just because you know we would uh we would tell people to call this this number and leave
1:40:16
voicemails and we would respond in the next episode like why don't i just make some up which by the way why don't we
1:40:23
tell people that um you can call the number uh and leave a voicemail anytime
1:40:28
during the week and we'll listen to them next weekend and we'll respond as applicable the one that's currently on
1:40:34
stream if you're watching this live on youtube or if you're watching this youtube video that's my personal number
1:40:42
okay do you have the voicemail number the the voicemail number is the number i sent you and hold on let me pull it up
1:40:48
because off the top of my head i don't know it we but we should start putting that in the podcast description too oh
1:40:54
yeah absolutely 425 4252437571
1:41:01
and that's a voicemail or text message you can send text messages to it you can leave a voicemail if you have questions
1:41:07
or comments about the show leave them there and then we will play the audio if you send us a voicemail or we will read
1:41:14
the text message on the next episode so it's 4252437571
1:41:22
yep that is it cool well i think that wraps it up for this
1:41:29
week it is 10 o'clock we've been out here for a little over an hour and a half had one fantastic call and a couple
1:41:35
of fantastic voicemails uh thanks again stefan um we will uh keep you guys
1:41:41
posted on when we do future live call-in shows i don't know if people like this format maybe this is just the format we
1:41:47
go with in the future a little more relaxed uh take calls if we can and we could just chitchat over our different
1:41:54
stories trading stories and that sort of stuff let us know give us some feedback uh if you like this format better than
1:42:00
the traditional format um um give us just uh put that in a in a note uh leave
1:42:06
it on a facebook comment dm me if we're that kind of friend uh stephan actually
1:42:11
put in the chat on youtube uh i still have a hard time believing that millions of ballots in swing states had trump at
1:42:19
the top of uh the ticket but they uh but then had all democrat candidates down at
1:42:26
the down ballot that seems hella sketchy to me that would seem sketchy to me i i
1:42:33
need to see some citation of that actually happening i think more of what
1:42:38
happened is people put trump on their top of their ballot and then didn't even fill out the rest of their ballot i
1:42:43
think that probably happened a bit and then we got another comment from wang chung i think this is a i think this is
1:42:50
probably uh a troll says "are you still bringing wings of redemption on?" i
1:42:55
don't know who or what that is are we still bringing wings of redemption on um yes just keep tuning in every week and
1:43:02
eventually we will have that so i just i just did another one on that website try
1:43:07
parrotai.com see if this plays hey guys whoop a dubdub
1:43:14
did you hear that i did not okay well it shows it looks like it played on on the
1:43:20
uh the oh so everyone but me gets to hear it okay i don't know man
1:43:26
let me let me see if i can download it as a video it's okay i i i do listen to
1:43:32
the show after it's done so we'll i'll hear it then but i it's i put it in the uh in the google google docs you'll be
1:43:38
able to see it and watch it there but seriously folks let us know if you like this format better than the normal format and we'll do it more often i
1:43:45
still like the idea of uh having a main topic every now and then when there's something i really want to go in deep on
1:43:51
but uh i had more fun this week than i have had the last few weeks just this was this was more fun for me also i'm a
1:43:58
little drunk i think i think doing it less less uh structured and just more freestyle is
1:44:06
probably a lot more fun that that's what i thought this show needed was less structure and less prep
1:44:13
i think just in in general having uh just having fun with podcasting is a is
1:44:19
is way better than than uh yeah so so we're looking for your feedback folks
1:44:25
let us know how you want the show to go forward uh wang chung i think is a troll he's now saying "also is tds a curable
1:44:34
disease you guys might be in luck." yeah i don't have that tds the only cure
1:44:40
for tds is uh well i guess i can't say that on on if there's people listening i
1:44:47
can't say uh voting democrat but i'm just going to
1:44:52
say nobody should do it that's all i'm going to say is nobody should do it
1:44:58
yeah the the the day the day that that the the day that it happens everyone
1:45:03
will be cheering in the streets yes we all know what we're talking about right
1:45:09
i think so but yeah i got to get out of here uh this was a great show though uh
1:45:15
