It's been a while, but we're back.

Who sings that song?

It's been a while.

I don't, I hate fucking butt rock.

They call it, it's nothing but rock.

That's where butt rock came from.

Oh really?

Uh huh.

Construction rock is what me and my brother call it.

I get that, yeah, for sure.

What is that?

Shoot the thrill!

I was watching a Great White video the other day and I didn't know who, I couldn't remember who it was.

Was it once bitten twice shy?

Yes it was, yeah, and I'm like, which one of the butt rock bands is this?

I can't remember.

Oh yeah, the ones that burned up all those people in Rhode Island.

That's the one, yeah, I'm like, oh yeah, that's the, it caused like 78 people to burn alive.

Yep.

Great White.

That sucked going out on a Great White show.

Yeah, I mean.

You know, like, all the acts and all the bands in the world and your life's gotta end there.

Well dude, it's probably like in New Jersey and like New York, you know, tri-state area and anywhere up there in the east, I guess that's Rhode Island so it's not quite the same area, but they probably just have that, they're old butt rockers and they're like, oh let's go see the band.

They'd probably do it every Friday night, hang out, drink beer and then they went out and saw Great White and they're like, yeah, hey that's a cool pyro show.

Yeah, look at that pyro show, that's really going off.

I didn't know asbestos tiles could burn.

That was like 30 years ago, wasn't it?

Not that long ago.

Or no, 20 years ago.

Yeah, and then they all, it was like 2006 or something, I'm not sure when it was.

Oh, I thought it was.

And then everyone got all piled up and got stuck trying to go out the door.

I know, it's gruesome man, it's terrible.

Like, that sucks.

Like the burning bodies in the trailer for the new Dune movie.

Huh?

The Dune movie, like they show burning bodies in the trailer.

Oh, I see what you're saying, okay.

Yeah.

I thought that you were saying that there was like a trailer on set that caught fire.

No, no, no.

Staff and crew were burned alive.

Preview, the movie preview.

Are you excited for Dune?

Yeah.

Good.

Again, so that's why we're calling this episode 153, Worm Sign.

You know that loving look that Stilgar gives over to Paul, that knowing glance they have when they're riding on the worm and the guitar riff goes jing, jing, jing, jing.

It's so awesome.

I think Kyle McLaughlin was a little old to be playing that role, don't you?

Eh, not really.

I mean, he's the same age as Timothee Chalamet was.

Mm-mm.

Yeah.

Really?

Like 24 or something.

Yeah, just people looked old back then.

I guess so.

And he had that chin, you know, that Bruce Campbell chin.

Yeah.

Like for days.

Chin for days.

Yep.

Well, it's been a while since, what, three weeks?

Mm-hmm.

It feels like it's been longer.

Yeah.

I mean, we both didn't.

When you said, like, oh, I can't do the show this week, I was like, oh, boo-hoo.

Oh, darn.

Yeah, I didn't have anything ready.

I know.

I had family over last weekend, so when, you know, when family from out of town stays, then all the family from in town comes in, so.

Whoops.

So your family came back in town.

We had to stop and edit because we forgot to put the song list together.

Professionals.

Yeah.

Professionals here at Select BGM.

Yes, family came in last week, and so when the family comes into town, or, you know, then all the family in town comes in, too.

So it sucks?

Well, no, it's okay.

You know, Ms.

Pac-Man and I, we don't have any kids.

Mm-hmm.

We don't really have, like, family that comes over.

So you just have too much money and shit.

So we just, we're what is referred to actually as dinks.

Oh, dual income, no kids?

That's right.

Very good.

Yep.

My wife and I are dinks, proud of it, not going to have children.

We'll just keep having animals.

Hey, I know what that's like.

Yeah.

Having an animal.

I'm celibate rich, and I'm not incel, you know, like I am, but I'm not, like, involuntarily celibate.

I'm a voluntarily celibate person.

And now you've got the bald head so you can sell that.

Oh, yeah, I got the power bald.

Yeah, you're Bezos style right now.

Uh-huh.

It looks good, though.

I got an electric razor, too, so that I can keep it down.

And I keep my face shaved, too, just because it's easy.

And I don't rock a good beard, you know what I mean?

I can grow it okay, but I look like the Me Too guy with the beard.

Like, you know, everyone else has grown a beard, and when I grow it, it looks like I'm growing a beard, too.

Like, you've always had one.

Yeah, really, since 15.

Yeah, and so, I mean, I've never really been my thing.

I was always a cheesy goatee, dude.

Goatee, like the Backstreet Boys, like, prison goatees.

Ooh, you know what you should do.

What?

Now that you've got, like, the power bald head.

Pencil-thin mustache.

It'd look like John Waters?

Yes.

Fat John Waters.

With the bald head.

Pencil-line mustache.

And, yeah, I think that would be awesome.

You should do that.

No.

All right, so, should we just, should we move on here?

Should we start the show here?

Yeah, let's get it going.

Episode 153, we are going to start with the song Starlight Brigade.

This is from the artist Twerp, or TWRP.

This song features Dan Avedon on vocals.

The album is Together Through Time, released 2018.

Oh, that was a wonderful little song called Defiance from Time Spinner, composed by Jeff Ball, released in 2018.

And before that was the song The Snow Princess from the game Nappletail, the artist Yoko Kano, that was released 2000 on the Dreamcast in Japan.

Before that was The Brutal King, theme of Rance, not Lance, Rance Armstrong.

Produced by the artist Shade, it was from the game called Rance X Showdown, but it was on a bonus CD of arranged tracks, and that bonus CD at least was released in 2018.

I have a new hobby, well it's not really a hobby, it's just me being lazy, but I watch on Extended Cable and this app network called Pluto TV.

Oh, I watch Pluto.

Yeah.

So they have the Vemo 80s music channel.

I haven't seen those.

Yeah, it's just like nothing but 80s videos and they have one for 90s, and so I'll watch 80s videos while I'm on Wikipedia, you know, like look up stuff about them, what they're doing now and that, and I get really depressed because everyone from the 80s is dead.

Yeah, a lot of them have died.

A lot of them, like every other video it's like that guy's dead, Prince is dead, George Michael's dead, and it's like, I didn't even realize that until I started to really like, yeah, like the 80s just died.

Like people, what was the other band, Level 42, I think someone died in that band.

I've just seen a lot of stuff like, oh yeah, well then he died, then he died, it's...

Yeah, it's kind of depressing.

The guy from Cinderella just died.

Which one?

I think they had, the guitar player died, but then also I think their keyboard player died like around the same time.

Holy cow.

I'll tell you what though, Susanna Hoffs from the Bengals, still looks great today.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know who doesn't look so good today are the Go-Go's.

Oh my God, Belinda Carlisle, Belinda Carlisle's cocaine use was legendary.

I did not realize like how much of an ad, how long and the volume of her addiction spanned.

It was like 30 years.

Oh wow.

I didn't know that.

Like $300 in coke a day.

That was her circle in the sand.

Oh yeah, I know.

That song is not about a beach.

No, not about a beach.

Same way that, what is it, The Landslide by Fleetwood Mac?

Oh, it's probably about...

That song is definitely about cocaine.

And I saw My Reflection and the Snow-Covered Hills.

Yeah, that song is about cocaine.

Oh wow.

I never thought about, I've never listened to that song.

I probably have, but...

But yeah, I mean, Belinda Carlisle is just like, she is just an anomaly.

Well, they all look like grandmas.

They are.

Well, they are, yeah.

They're like in their sixties now.

But it's just weird that seeing people still getting up there and doing it, like you didn't see like the people from the fifties coming back and doing that in the eighties, maybe a little bit.

You had Chubby Checker in the Fat Boys video, you had Little Richard doing stuff.

But you didn't have the exposure that media outlet or like the internet and cable TV has today.

So, they could still be pretty relevant just through the internet, you know?

And Belinda Carlisle, she headlined Pride Fest last year here in Salt Lake, yeah.

Yeah, she's got something in common with Stevie Nicks, you know?

They both sing like goats.

They do have, well, the nasally kind of, yeah.

Goat vibrato..

You got to like hold your does/nose.

Yeah.

I have the same kind of thing, though.

I have like a nasal voice, or I have the opposite, like where you pinch your nose, the opposite of the nasal.

I guess I call that nasal, but it's really stuffy, so I have the opposite, I guess.

I probably have that too, I don't know.

We're not Belinda Carlisle.

I know, no.

I have sinus issues and I'm white, so.

And she doesn't have sinus issues and she snorts white stuff.

I don't think she has sinus anymore.

I remember, I won't say the name or who it was or context or anything, but we had a friend once and they were sitting at coffee and he snorts up just to like clear his sinuses.

Mm-hmm, blood?

And I guess there was like a chunk of cocaine or something that had impacted in his sinus, all of a sudden he's like, oh, shit.

He got a rocket boost.

He got a rocket boost, just a real slight rocket boost, which I don't know if I buy it or not.

I don't know if I believe him.

I think it's a good story, but I don't know how much of that was true or him just hamming it up.

Well, yeah, that's a lot of that.

My dad hams it up a lot, and it's like when people do that all the time, you don't believe them anymore, so it's like you have to qualify it like you just did.

Right, yeah.

Especially when it's someone else's story.

Well, I mean, it's your story, but

yeah, I was there when it happened, when he supposedly had this feeling, but like I say, good story, don't know if that's actually biologically possible to him.

Man, sometimes I get the winter like bloody noses if I don't run a humidifier or something.

And I've been at the bar before where I kind of sneezed a little bit and then all of a sudden just blood poured out of my nose and I'm in the bathroom stopping a bloody nose and it's just like I'm thinking like, you know, kitchen workers coming in, they're probably like thinking like, oh yeah, that dude snored it too much.

I walked in in my, when we were back in office, I walked in on this guy in the bathroom and there was just blood pouring out of his nose.

I'm like, dude, are you okay?

Can I help you in some way?

And he's like, no, I just get these every once in a while.

It'll be fine.

But it was just like draining.

Oh, that's scary.

I'm like, this guy's going to pass out, dude.

This is kind of scary.

I've heard you can lose like half your blood in your body and that's like, how much blood?

Is there like eight pints or something?

12 pints?

I don't know how much it is.

I don't know.

I've never drained a body.

I'm like, yeah, that's a question for Dracula.

I don't know.

I had a dream the other night.

I'm not talking, well, I had multiple dreams, but one of the dreams that I had that was really weird is I came to my house and I arranged something with somebody, but I had like 30 cadavers in my basement.

Nice.

So prophetic.

You know, like zipped up or whatever, you know, but I was just like, how do I get these out of here?

That is the question.

I don't want them to be, to get stinky and you know, I don't have a refrigerated basement and I was just like, I'm going to have to call the authorities.

It is hard enough to get rid of one.

It's like, I realized, you know, I didn't kill these people, whatever.

There's something shady must have been there.

I'm going to get in trouble, but I got to call the authorities.

I didn't put these 30 bodies in my basement, officer.

And the other one was just a dream of Jonathan Frakes being disgruntled and old looking at a restaurant.

You know, the guy that played Riker.

Were you at a Shoney's?

No, I don't even know where it was, but he was just being like, oh, you know who I am.

And then I just pictured him in my mind as Orson Welles after that.

And they kind of look similar, like yeah, in comparatively in age and girth.

More girth on Orson Welles, but they're both tall men who smile and look great.

Yeah.

Handsome, heavy set gentlemen.

I bet you Jonathan Frakes is infinitely more pleasant to be around.

Oh, I'm sure.

He's not just drunk.

Orson Welles.

Yeah.

Would have been.

Orson Welles is like a pompous house of a man.

Ah, that's good.

I liked it.

A pompous house of a man.

That's very good.

That's very good.

Let's move on.

Let's move on.

All right.

I'm going to start this one.

It's a song not by Blondie.

It's a song by Ace Buchanan called Call Me.

They're a synthwave group.

You can buy their stuff cheap on collections on Bandcamp.

You can get like whole synthwave collections for free or cheap.

So go on there and buy some of this stuff.

It's from their album, Magenta Nights, that came out in 2019.

And welcome back, you just heard the song Earth Painting from Yoko Shimomura from the game Legend of Mana, released 1999, that is the PlayStation version.

And before that, you heard some super pornographic C64 music with the track Hot Mamas by the composer Jammer, also known as Kamel Wolnikowski, it was a SID track from the C64 music competition at Celesia Party 1, they were rated number one and they came out in 2007.

That song was rated number one?

Yeah, that song, but they might have been the only thing there.

Okay, before that was the song Dojo from the artist Olivier Derivier, I don't know if that's how you say his name, but I'm gonna go with it, game Streets of Rage 4, released 2020, and that's the last Streets of Rage 4 song I'm gonna play for a very long time.

Oh, that's fine.

I had to get those, these out of my system, because they're so good.

Well that's that, see you later everyone.

So I'm playing a game a little like, under the radar, well for me it was kind of an under the radar smash hit, Monster Hunter Stories 2, on Nintendo Switch,

Capcom?

Capcom, turn based RPG, heavy Pokemon elements,

so you collect monsters?

You collect their horns and their parts, do you use the parts to make new things?

Yeah, actually you do.

Oh.

No, yeah, there's a whole aspect of the game where you collect, you get eggs and then you hatch monsters, and then they will have genetic type properties, and then you harvest those and the monster disappears, you kill it, and then you take that genetic property and you insert it into the monster that you want.

Okay, so you kind of construct a monster?

Yeah, you can build its genetics.

I know.

I know.

Right?

Aw, poor pups.

Not poor pups.

Yeah, well that's because he's tied up on the floor with razor wire.

I know, he can't get out of the circle.

But no, that's a good, it is a good game, I've already put 80 hours into it, it's been out two weeks, I'm very much into it, I highly recommend that title, and I am officially now done with Animal Crossing.

I have stopped playing.

Okay, you're just like no more?

No more.

My island is packed full of so much shit that the framerate drop makes it really hard to play.

Oh wow.

Yeah.

So I have accomplished, I basically have broken the game now, and I'm done, and it's boring now anyway, so I mean I put 1,825 hours into it, so.

That's like people that play online, or like on shooters for a year.

It's ridiculous.

No, I've been playing it since May 20th of 2020.

It's a long time.

I've been playing Skyward Sword HD on the Switch, I picked that up, I also bought Ender Lilies and I still have control going on the Xbox 360, all of them run at a smooth framerate at 60 frames per second, something that your other game, Animal Crossing, didn't.

Nope.

But Zelda does.

Switch don't do that.

It does with Skyward Sword.

It's 60...

locked?

Yeah.

Wow.

And it makes it so much better than, Skyward Sword was like one of those that was still pretty much on a CRT, even if you had the component cables on a Wii, it had a weird look of, you know, color water painting and whatever they call that, watercolor, and it's kind of smoothed and stuff now, but I like it, you know, I'd rather have something that just plays fast and I don't care if it looks like real life, you know, you watch those old PlayStation 2 demos of like the rubber duck, or the, there was one with a lady walking on the stage, remember that, like she, it looked like the lady from Ridge Racer Type 4

Yes, I do remember that.

And you look at them now and it's like, God, any game system now, even a handheld could do all those in real time, like no problem.

It's weird, and that was better than what those systems could really do.

Right, yeah, I do remember that.

So it's crazy.

Maybe I'll pick up Skyward Sword, I don't know, I'm not really a big fan of the dual stick attack thing, but.

Yeah, it's the waggle's still there, but it's mapped to the pro controller, so it's a little better.

You don't, and you can turn off all motion, like pointing motion, you know, up and down.

Oh, good, yeah, I hate that shit.

But you still have to kind of flick the controllers, you know, like.

Yeah, I don't know.

And the thing is, it's like a Nintendo game, so it'll never go on sale.

It'll always be sixty dollars,

so it didn't.

I haven't seen any of the video tutorials pop up, don't shit like that.

That one annoyed me, like when I played it on the Wii and like, if you want help, here's how to do this and show the low framerate video.

It's like, of course I had to scrap that.

Yeah, yeah.

I'd heard that that was one of the big annoyances of that game that they removed,

but it wasn't.

I mean, it's still a little slow at the beginning, but it seems like you just go to a land and then go to a temple and beat the temple.

It's Zelda.

Prety paint by number Zelda?

Yeah, I like it.

That's OK, though.

I kind of like that about, you know, Breath of the Wild is so fucking aimless and exhausting that, I don't know, I like my games to have some direction, so.

Speaking of direction.

Let's direct on.

All right.

Direct on!

OK, I'm starting.

No, it's you.

I'm starting this round again.

This is, I think it's, I don't know if it's a theme song, but it's a song called Soldier Dream from Saint Seiya, like the anime TV show.

The song is called, God, what's the, Kyoshi, Kyoshi, Toshi, Shinwa, something like that.

This was on Pop and Music, Animellow, on a soundtrack that came out in 2000.

I don't know who composed the original.

This is a remake, I think, and the artist is Hironobu Kageyama.

Welcome back, you just heard Apocalypse Noctis, the jazz arrangement from the album Square Enix Jazz Volume 2.

The artist or arranger there was Ejiro Nakagawa, and this album was released 2018.

Before that was Blades of Tears, not like the Galneryus song Rain of Tears, but Blades of Tears by Haruka...

God damn it, Shimotsuki, something like that from the game X-Edge or Cross Edge, released 2008.

And before that was the song Exacerbate from the artist Tiasu, the album Rising, released 2015.

Tiasu is a chiptune artist that you can find again through Bandcamp.

A lot of his stuff is free and they have some albums to buy too, and all of Tiasu's stuff is fantastic.

Stilgar, do we have Wormsign?

Usul, we have Wormsign, the likes of which even God has never seen.

I Love Dune.

Do you think they'll keep that line?

No.

Is there a god in Dune?

Is there a god?

I know that there's like Paul Atreides.

I mean, they're basically muslims, right?

I mean, that's what you think of the Fremen, but I think they just...

I don't know what they worship.

Shaihulud, which is the worm.

Not the Fremen, but I mean, as a universal concept.

Oh yeah, they have like the old orange catholic bible, so I don't know.

Who cares about God?

It's sci-fi.

Jesus Christ.

I'm just curious for God's sakes.

It doesn't have to be there.

Why do you gotta be sore?

I don't know what made me think of this the other day, but do you remember the Jordan Jumps in Rose Park?

Yeah.

The Jordan Jumps was like this, basically a dirt pit that had these mounds of dirt that you could ride your bike over.

So it's kind of like a dirt track.

Yeah, it had hills.

Yeah, hills that you'd ride your bike, and you'd get your nuts cup checked on the...

I mean, they had actual jumps, and you could jump over a pit.

If you went really fast, you could jump from one jump to the other over a hole.

And they would be kind of high up sometimes, like nine feet high, some of them.

Yeah, they were big.

Is that still there?

I don't know.

It's probably all flat now.

It's by the library now.

They moved the library to be by the river.

And it's called the Jordan River.

It's not in Jordan, but there's a river here in Salt Lake that's on the west side.

It's a dirty river that goes to the Great Salt Lake.

It feeds from Utah Lake.

And it's always been a gross river, but that's where the Jumps were, is right next to that.

Yeah, it's full of shopping carts and bodies and sewage.

It's really nasty.

But I don't know why I was thinking about that, but I remember back in the 80s and early 90s, that was the spot.

Yeah, everyone would ride over there.

Everyone would ride over there, dude.

I went there every day.

And do you remember, like, you could go down the banks by the river and there was that opening?

Which opening?

Like, there was that big opening that was covered with trees, like the tree canopy.

I think so.

I don't know.

And you'd walk down this hill and it was right at the banks of the river.

And that's where, you know, like...

Kill dogs.

That's where, like, the bad kids would hang out and they'd, like, smoke weed.

Yeah, and then, yeah, that was fun.

Yeah, that was good times.

There was a place on Redwood Road, too, when we got a little, like, 12 or 13, we'd ride our bikes over there.

It was kind of a development area where someone built some jumps.

Not as good.

And then Red Sands used to have hills and stuff, but it didn't have straight-up jumps like Jordan Jumps.

Yeah, Red Sands, that's where, like, that was some shady shit, though.

Oh, yeah, because it was in a chemical dump, really.

Yeah, it was a chemical dump.

And you could smell it.

Yeah.

It always had bugs.

It always had the buzzing of, like...

And there were, like, homeless camps down there.

Oh, yeah, junk people dumped junk in there, and it had, like, gross pond water, you know?

Yeah.

But you could find guppies or polywogs and shit in there.

Yeah, I'm sure they were radiated.

Probably, but it was something to do.

I remember, like, my dad, he was living in a house that looked out where Red Sands is.

You know where that park is?

Yeah.

So his house was, like, right at the edge of the park, and then there's the park and then Red Sands.

It's on a curvy road, and then it goes past sewer treatment.

And I remember I'd look outside my window at night, and I would see the bonfires from the homeless guys, like, the homeless camps that would set up out there.

Yeah, good times.

Rose's Park's awesome.

Well, what's so cool is it was like that.

It was industrial.

It was kind of, like, rural in a sense, an old-timey neighborhood feeling, like, leave it to beaver, but you were right next to downtown, too.

So I had an urban element, too, but it was mostly a neighborhood element, and it was pretty nice.

I mean, like, I look at the 80s now, like you'd see Stand By Me 50s.

Totally, yeah.

No, I agree completely.

It was like that.

There were, like, yeah, there were just, like, these secret areas that the kids knew about where you'd go to, and you'd know, like, don't go down there around this time or don't go over there around this time, because that's when the teenagers will whoop your ass kind of thing.

Oh, yeah, teenagers used to be dicks.

I remember, like, they'd pick an apple off a tree or something, chuck it at my head.

Oh, the butt rockers were nuts, man.

Yeah, people were mean.

Holy cow.

Even, like, gangster-type people, I remember being a teenager and, like, someone would just huck a can of food at us, like, you know, just a can of food from their cupboard.

Oh, you know what I mean.

You're gonna need that.

Just because, like, fuck you, basically.

I was just like, jeez.

I know, seriously, it's like you have to, like, just cross the street and hope they don't see you and hope they don't think that you're crossing the street to avoid them.

I'd always get worried, like, when you'd see, like, some old person that was getting teased by teenagers or whatever, like, not ignore it, like, get really upset and try to do something, because it's like, oh, no, that's gonna be bad for them.

Uh-huh.

Like, just ignore kids.

Oh, yeah, yeah, it's like, don't get involved with teenagers.

Especially multiple, yeah.

Yeah, you will lose that battle.

Yeah, they'll do something stupid and they won't get in trouble.

I know, seriously, it's like, sorry, kid, you're just gonna have to deal with this.

It's part of life.

You get your, you put in your dues now, and I'm gonna go back inside and forget I saw anything.

And you get older and life gets way fucking easier.

You just learn to keep your mouth shut and you're fine.

I know, yeah.

For the most part, you know, there's always situations that are fucked up in life, but...

Sure.

Don't bring yourselves into them on purpose.

Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Yeah, learn, well, you learn those lessons.

As a kid.

Right.

You should be learning those lessons as a kid, so...

But, yeah, good times.

I don't have anything else, really.

Let's wrap it up and be done.

And this is Select BGM, episode 153.

I'm Jon.

I am Rich.

And you can check us out online.

Are we still on Facebook?

I post on there just to let people know there's a new episode.

Okay, so we're still on Facebook.

I doubt anyone even sees the news, though, because Facebook sucks.

Sucks.

And then selectbgm.org.

And thank you for listening, and as always, when it's like BGM, we're bringing you 50%.

Is that what we say?

Yeah.

I feel like I got it wrong.

Yeah, 50%.

We're not giving you 100% because...

(puppy squeaks) Shut up!

Professional.

Tee Hee

It's a mystery.

We're back again.

Welcome back to Select BGM.

I'm Jonathan.

And I'm Wretch.

And it's your Independence Day weekend when you decided to secede from King George the Third.

Oh yeah, it is.

Lovely out.

People on holiday.

It is.

It's, yeah, the 3rd of July.

It's...

It is the 3rd.

Yes.

The day before the 4th of July.

I keep forgetting that we had the 5th off.

You know, we observe it on the 5th.

So it was kind of like all week I kept getting reminded that I don't have to work, I don't have to slave that day.

Yeah.

I saw that there was like a...

I looked up Stadium of Fire because I'd always heard about that in Utah.

So I looked it up and I guess it's in Provo and BYU, they're doing it on, I think, Saturday or Monday.

They're not doing it Sunday because...

Well, no, because they're Mormons.

Mormons don't do anything but go to church and praise the Lord.

Or just religion in general.

Yeah, I know.

It's like, you can't go to Chick-fil-A.

Not that I go to Chick-fil-A anyway, but...

Dude, I hate any group bigger than like...

I hate any fucking group, dude.

Anyone that joins an organization, I hate organizations, period.

I don't give a shit if it's your fucking Metallica fan club.

You know, especially now, fuck Metallica, but I don't know.

Well, yeah, obviously.

But I mean, like, no, I'm not part of any group of people and the worst are atheists.

Atheists are pretty bad.

They're as bad as any of the others.

You know, I don't believe in God, but I'm not the kind of person that's going to join a group of people who don't believe in God because that's kind of missing the fucking point.

See, I know.

Yeah, it's like...

Theism.

Theism, exactly.

There's like...

Religion...

It's in itself like a religion.

Like not believing is in itself a faith or a religion, so yeah, it makes sense.

And people that leave faith, like here it's ex-Mormons, they tend to get all chatty about it.

Oh, it's a big deal.

Yeah.

It's a big deal, I think, obviously, but they're almost like joining another religion.

It's a big deal, though.

Like, leaving the church, like leaving the church, leaving the LDS faith is like...

That's big.

Like, it's not just like, I'm not going to go to church anymore.

It's like, there's this whole...

There's a whole family breakup.

I guess so, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

It's a fucking big deal.

And so that's why there's all like...

People are so vocal about it and they're really like out about it so that other people and there's, you know, like you said, like a support system.

You know what I love is that I love that we're in the middle of the chicken sandwich wars here because I'm the winner, because everyone makes a good chicken sandwich now.

Yeah, what's the new one, Raising Cane's or something?

I don't know what that is.

I heard of that.

I heard it's a chicken finger type place.

But yeah, I don't have a problem with eating it.

Chick-fil-A or what's the other one?

Papa John, he said like, he referred to like the N word or something and he referred to the actual word being used by people.

He didn't actually use it, but he said the word when citing it.

Oh, is that what that controversy was about?

Yeah.

And so someone used that as something.

And it's like, dude, I didn't care anyway.

Like I was just going...

Well, they obviously wanted him out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But you know, it's just an individual's fuckhead.

There's that MyPillow guy.

Oh, that dude is beyond fucking crazy.

I know, but if they made a good pillow, I'd buy it.

They don't.

Okay.

But that's the thing is like, dude, I don't give a shit about like some dumbasses beliefs.

You know, I'll watch a Roman Polanski movie.

I'll watch a Woody Allen movie.

Bill Cosby is my favorite comedian.

No, he's not.

Yeah, right.

But still, you know, I'm just, I'm not offended.

I'm not upset about anything right now.

Yeah.

Except for people being upset.

I won't buy, I will not buy things because of political or belief systems.

Like, I would never buy a MyPillow.

I would never support that crazy fuck off.

If it was a good pillow, I would.

Even if it was a good pillow, I wouldn't do it.

I would never do it.

I would not give that asshat money.

You know, that's the thing.

It's like, I'm not giving this fucker money so that he can continue to spread his fucking nonsense.

Fine.

I think there is, you know, it's like Roman Polanski film, you know, that's you separating the art from the artist.

I'm not paying Roman Polanski to watch Chinatown.

He directed that?

I didn't know that.

Yeah.

I just don't like any of the people that think like that it's somehow, like there are people that say like, well, there's Gary Glitter, right?

They still play his music at sports games and everything, but and then people say like, well, he doesn't own the rights to the song anymore, so he doesn't get it.

You're still playing the guy's music and it's him.

It's, you know, if people shazam it, it says Gary Glitter, rock and roll part two or whatever it's called.

Who cares?

He liked to diddle children.

That's fucked up in Vietnam, right, where something he got in trouble.

Yeah.

No, he was like, he was like trafficking Vietnamese boys or some weird shit.

He's a despicable fuck, just like Arthur C.

Clark, right?

Oh, was he a diddler too?

Well, he wasn't a diddler.

Maybe he was because he was into boys and he moved to Sri Lanka and he said, oh, there's nothing wrong between the love between a man and a, you know, a young boy if he reciprocates stuff like that.

I don't know if he said that, I'm paraphrasing, but you know, as people still watch 2000.

Are you talking about Arthur C.

Clark?

Yeah, the guy that worked with Stanley Kubrick on 2001, like he wrote it or the book.

And Rednezvous with Rama, that guy?

Yeah, childhood's end.

Oh shit.

He's probably ended a lot of childhoods.

Oh, here we go.

Yeah.

But I just don't give a fuck.

That's okay.

You see?

You see?

You don't have to though.

See, that's the thing.

I can give a fuck.

That's true.

You don't have to.

And I'm not judging you for giving a fuck.

And I would like to say that I'm a man of high moral standing, but I still go to Chick-fil-A, so you know, I can't say a whole lot.

Yeah, for anything though that you do really well on, you should like put it on like Martin Luther, you know, make a big list and put it on your door for everyone to see.

Oh, right.

Oh, okay.

So it's like I advertise like how...

Your virtuosity.

How virtuous I am.

Yeah, not virtuosity.

That'd be like...

If you were good at guitar, yeah, I absolutely got to advertise that, but you just do that by playing my...

But maybe I could get a sign that has like 12 different sayings on it about like science is real.

Yeah.

I can advertise love and Black Lives Matter, and I can advertise that in my white yard, my white man owned house yard, and show everybody that I'm not that white guy, I'm the other white guy.

Yeah.

Or just putting up the parody signs like saying, oh, Bigfoot, whatever, like, you know, it's just like, dude, I don't play that game.

Like I don't put up bumper stickers.

I don't say what I believe in politics.

Like it's not even just virtue.

It's just saying who you are or what your belief structure is, and advertising it is what I don't like.

Yeah.

It's a bumper sticker for your yard.

Uh-huh.

And I totally...

Yeah.

I don't like that.

I don't want to alienate people either because it's an artificial way to make enemies.

It really is.

And I just really want to be friends with people first.

Yeah.

It's a divider.

It doesn't matter like what side you're on, you're creating a divider immediately.

You're saying that I'm not going to associate with people that don't, you know, don't buy into every single thing that I'm advertising on my yard.

Yeah.

I mean, most of the stuff is good.

It makes sense.

You know, of course I support all that stuff and believe in all that stuff, but I just think it's corny as fuck to tell everybody.

It's almost like you want to be on the right side of history.

And it's like, oh yeah, it's like White Washing The Patriot, that movie where like, oh yeah, he has slaves, but they're free slaves and he's a great man and they love working for him.

That's how I see that kind of shit.

It's like, dude, you're part of the problem, too.

We all are.

We all own this guilt.

Yeah, right.

Right.

And then and then, you know, you go out and market it and sloganize it and shit like that, you know?

Yeah.

It's like people like, you know, those commercials for like the Better Life Foundation, they're so fucking weird to me.

I don't even know what that is.

It's like life.

It's worth living.

It's like, wait, what the fuck?

Yeah.

Great.

Awesome.

Like, yeah.

And you know, the billboards, the Foundation for a Better Life, where it's like it'll have like Kermit the Frog and he's saying some like inspirational thing.

Hey Piggie don't commit suicide.

Yeah.

Right.

Yeah.

Hi ho.

Put the gun away.

Let's just do the show, though.

All right.

Let's get on with it.

What's the episode called?

Witch Tickler.

That's an old witch.

Don't tickle the old witch.

Get some warts on your genitals.

Well, diddle the young witch.

Oh, Pull an Arthur C.

Clarke.

It'll be a warlock.

Um, okay.

This first song we're starting out with is called Exceed.

It's from the Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel by the Falcom Sound Team JDK released in 2013.

Hey, welcome back.

You just heard the song chapter 4 run from Rapture from the artist Ori Falconer the game way of the passive fist released 2018

Before that was yin-yang the Lin Chong stage from the game Oh Jesus outlaws of the Lost Dynasty, but it says like suiko and boo phone sikey there's something on Sega Saturn.

So it's a fighting game the composer was demadelic released 1996

And before that was the song magus night the artist you to Akiyama from the game on Koku no got no go shoe Shin Kiro Toho Shin Kiro a Toho game released 2013

does it have shiny bullets?

I'm sure there's some sort of bullet grazing or some sort of odd

Is there like a frog that shoots its little sticky tongue out and stuff like that?

There's a scarlet witch.

Oh, yeah, witches.

I wish the Toho games would not I wish they would just make a straightforward game and not Have some sort of weird gimmick.

I haven't played any of the Toho games

I like the Lodoss War game just fine, but there's oh, yeah, kind of like a gimmicky thing to it You know like elemental switching and like Luna Knights was pretty good But there was

The time stop

the not the time stuff, but like that weird like bullet hell mechanic.

Yeah.

Yeah So I'm just like same with Don Maki.

I don't know.

It's Don Maki.

I don't know.

Oh, I don't know what that is

That's a shooter.

It's a bullet grazing shooter.

So anyway, but yeah, just like I just want a straightforward game Damn it!

Oh, dude, I'm I want to get back into playing some games right now I've been doing the emulation stuff because I got a Raspberry Pi 400 which is a little keyboard one version of a Raspberry Pi 4 I put an Amiga emulator on there C64 and they just kind of left me underwhelmed So I put Lakka on there or Lakka.

It was just a an emulator based OS And I like that the best for emulating the computers It's actually really good now where you can use a keyboard but of course there are little problems like you can't see the kickstart roms whatever but The good part about those emulators is you I just like trying out the game more than anything I don't really want to sit down and play them

No

but then it made me realize like I just want to I need to play a game again

Yeah, you do I do like on that emulator that it emulates the sound of the disc booting up.

That's pretty clever You get the full experience and it takes you know, it makes it take just as long So you really appreciate PP hammer on the Amiga.

Oh, yeah And Amiga is like a system that doesn't age very well Some of it does but it's just none of it ages well on

I think Amiga was one of those things that you were Into as a kid or you will never ever ever be into it.

You won't get it Yeah, you either played shadow of the beast and you did mods like mods music music mods or You just you know, you were a console kid.

Yeah consoles were better Anyway, even like when we had computers without always talk about like, you know skat or die was better on the Commodore 64 But it didn't have to load on the NES

True.

There's that kind of thing like once NES came out kind of Consoles kind of took over you'd have your PC at home, but you played video game consoles

Yeah,

It's still that way.

Yeah, and like the PC, you know, it's like Nintendo.

I couldn't see pixelated titties Oh, yeah, I could see leisure suit Larry 3 I could see pixelated titties In the video games, but not on the NES

Oh, dude I would take like like there's a topless lady GIF back in the day and like I just printed that up and put it on My parents Fridge

I remember that yeah, I absolutely remember you doing that and it stayed on your fridge for a long They just didn't even notice right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, I remember that cuz I remember coming over and I was like Oh my god, and Mike's like, oh you thought it was so funny.

And then the weeks went by Still there

Yeah, that's I just talked about it recently because a co-worker was talking about like how he used to he got Doom when it came Out like 1994.

So he's already like a you know, 15 16 year old, maybe 14 feel younger than me But he was talking about how he renamed doom like his friend showed him how to rename it with just all spaces And then set the DOS attributes so that it would be a hidden file so that he could have Doom on the home computer And it's like dude, I didn't have anything like that at home.

There was no like kind of Did you have any of that really like your parents were like, oh, let's we don't want him seeing that.

No

Yeah,

I came I was raised in a family where my dad at 11 years old.

My dad's like, let's watch Eraser Head Okay, that's it.

Yeah, and then Terminator and and Robo.

No, not Robocop Robocop is

I saw that young

I didn't see that one until later.

But yeah, he my dad was like, oh odd Avantgard weird nonsense David Lynch films Yep, let's get him going.

Rich Yeah, my dad grabbed Clockwork Orange from the library on VHS and you're like, you know I'm probably 12 or 13 somewhere in there

Yeah, I'd say about then with Clockwork Orange,

but it's and you know, like all I ever watched was the beginning part So all I saw was sex and rape and people getting beaten up

Yeah, the first like like 30 40 minutes like that cavalcade of mischief,

The ultraviolence

The ultraviolence Yeah, you never watched really pass that cuz it was boring.

Yeah, I mean, that's the best part of the movie really Well, it's the part that makes wraps the story up, right?

And it yeah, and it really makes it it makes sense It's all that all that chaos at the beginning makes sense when you finish out the movie It doesn't still doesn't mean anything.

It's not like there's a lesson to be learned

But I just remember him like going into the lady's house cutting up her onesie Whatever she's wearing like scissors and then like they're just speeding down the road in the sports car Maybe that was before I just it all blurs together and then there's like the lady exercising and has like the dildo statue or something

Yeah, I remember like my impression of England was really fucking weird because based on Clockwork Orange and Monty Python I'm like man, England is a fucking bizarre place.

Uh-huh And I thought it would just be like going over there and Tally Ho

Yeah, it's just like a bunch of like Nonsense, just like weird nonsense people wearing like stupid shit.

Yeah police boxes.

Yeah Yeah, it's like and Doctor Who that didn't help much either.

Oh, yeah, everything was kind of low-budgety and yeah

Like the cardboard box robots and shit anyway

moving on

moving on shall we move on to some music?

Let's do that This is this is a classic This is the song bombing mission or infiltration Of the artist Nobuo Iwamatsu from the Final Fantasy 7 Remake Released last year 2020

Dude, I think I just creamed my jeans, because that was the shower scene.

What?

Shower scene.

Sorry.

I don't know.

You're leaving it.

You're leaving that in the edit.

That's going through post.

I was planning on it.

Alright.

From the game Possessioner on the PC-9801, it was actually called Shower Scene.

The artist was Hiroaki Asano, the composer.

Released 1994, and I guess it's just a visual novel comic book style.

Oh, I'm sure it is.

Shower Scene, yeah.

And before that, what the hell was before that?

The Gunlord.

Here we go.

Thank you, thank you.

And before that was the song Factory Five, the artist Rafael Dill.

The game Gunlord, released 2012.

And right before that was a track from the game Power Blazer on NES.

It's on a Taito compilation soundtrack that I played it from.

It's stage two.

The artist is Kimuyo Yamashita and someone named Bambi.

Not Bambi, but B-A-N-B-I.

And that was released in 1990 in Japan.

That's what Sigourney Weaver wears as a Power Blazer.

Oh yeah, she's a tough lady.

And when she's Ripley or when she's just in real life.

No real life.

No real life in the 80s.

Yeah, she looks like...

She's a corporate woman.

She does look like.

Isn't there a movie where she is like that?

Working Girl.

Okay.

I haven't seen it.

Harrison Ford.

I haven't watched it.

Is it Good?

I don't know.

Yeah, she's a handsome woman.

When we were talking...

She's a handsome woman.

We were talking about that at work.

I think.

I don't know if we talked about it on here.

But we're like saying like, kind of like, Eartha Kitt.

You know, she's like a hot, handsome woman.

Yes.

You know, she's like, I'm Eartha Kitt.

She's evil.

Yeah, she's the best catwoman.

But yeah, definitely a handsome woman, isn't she?

Like, handsome, I guess.

I looked it up, the definition.

And it's basically someone who's maybe a woman who's getting on in age a little bit.

Middle age, you know, 30s, 40s.

But still has a really strong facial features, but maybe not as much baby fat.

You know, so they're...

Yes.

Yeah.

Really good looking, but they're handsome.

They're well-aged.

Yeah.

Well-defined.

Yeah, she was a handsome woman, for sure.

She looked good in Galaxy Quest too.

She looked beyond handsome in that.

She looked actually pretty in that.

But like in Ghostbusters 2, she didn't look so good.

Because it was just the 80s.

Yeah, the 80s kind of...

Yeah, 80s, 90s.

Yeah, the late 80s made everyone look crappy.

Is it...

Is she...

Is Avatar the thing still?

Is that the movie thing that's happening still?

Yeah, she was weird in that.

Yeah.

Yeah, that just made me think about that.

Like they didn't need to have her naked in that.

With the what?

She was like naked at the end on the Tree of Life thing.

I don't remember that.

And she got resurrected or something by the power of the native tree.

In Avatar?

Yeah.

That was the ending.

I don't remember this.

Yeah.

I didn't like that movie, though.

So it...

I don't think...

It didn't really stick around in my head.

It was the first time I saw 3D that actually looked okay.

I was like, okay, I kind of see it, but I still didn't like it.

I was like, okay, I don't like 3D.

No, I'm like, they should have just...

They should have just made the damn thing a CG movie.

They did, basically.

Well, I guess you're right.

Yeah.

That's true.

Yeah.

But yeah, is there a sequel?

Are they...

They've been hearing about a sequel for like 10 years.

Yeah, I think so.

I mean, there's those...

There's a visual effects guys on YouTube that like, you know, make videos or do little shorts and Blender and stuff.

And one of them made like a fake Avatar 2 movie.

And I guess everyone that's working on Avatar sequels watched it.

So I think they are working on it.

But who knows?

James Cameron development hell, probably.

Yeah, right.

Yeah, that's true, huh?

All right.

It'll never come out because he's too perfect.

Now that he has the power to be perfect.

Yeah, his movies are so good.

Yeah.

Did you watch...

I watched some time travel show.

I think I brought it up, but I forgot what it was called.

It was on Hulu.

And it was like a dude travels through time with some people.

I got it.

They go to James Cameron's house.

So he has a computer there and his computer eventually turns against him because he's so abusive.

Oh, his own computer was dumb.

Just scratch that.

All right.

I have been watching Loki though.

How is it?

I like it.

It's kind of okay.

I was going to ask you if you've been watching any of the MCU on Disney.

Is that what that is?

Marvel?

Yeah.

I kind of like Loki.

They did have one scene in it where like he...

I can't spoil it.

Never mind.

Okay.

All right.

Don't spoil it then.

But it did get a little bit like, you know, virtuous.

That thing like you're talking about earlier.

He just basically mentions that he's into guys and girls.

And it's like, I was just saying like, well, yeah, he was in the beasts too.

You know what I mean?

Like, did you need to bring it up?

He was in the what?

Well, you know, like he's talking to a lady and she's like, so are there...

Are there any princesses waiting for you or maybe princess?

And he's like, oh, a little bit of both.

Yeah.

I assume the same for you too.

So is that like...

Is that Disney being edgy or like...

Yeah, maybe.

I didn't...

Maybe not edgy, but just like we'll go there.

Well, yeah, I think I just thought it kind of felt a little bit forced in.

Yeah.

Like playing a game like Time Spinner, which was totally super gay.

You know, I had...

No, it was a game about lesbians.

Well, that's why I had no problem with that though, because that's who made it.

Oh, was it?

A lot of people were.

Yeah.

And it's like...

I didn't know that.

You know what I mean?

Then it's like fine.

But when you're trying to force something to be like, you know, just add something.

Here's a little nod to you.

God, why does that piss this off so much?

Or me.

I'm going to say, I'm like...

Not us.

This pisses you off.

Yeah.

I just don't like the idea of...

I don't know.

Why can't anyone be a badass?

You don't like forced social context.

Yeah.

That's what it is.

It's not about the message.

Yeah, exactly.

You just don't...

I don't like a don't tread on me flag at all.

Yeah.

Right, right.

You don't like that forced social kind of context, you know, being put into your face.

And I can understand that because I don't like that either.

It's like sometimes things are just going to be the way they are.

We don't need to equalize across the board with everything.

You know what I mean?

We don't need to include every color of the rainbow on everything we do.

But...

So, no, I get it.

I get it.

But it really...

I really actually enjoy how much it pisses you off.

Yeah.

It's like, you know, like we can't eat peanut butter squares anymore because the fucking kid who can't handle his peanuts.

Fuck.

Because, what, he's allergic to them?

Yeah.

That's the kind of thing.

It's just like, come on.

But that makes sense because he'll die.

Yeah, that's true.

You're not going to die because there's a transgender person in The Last of Us 2.

Yeah, well, I don't even care about that.

That never bothered me with that game.

I just didn't want to play another Naughty Dog game.

But it was a little forced.

I didn't want to play it because it just...

I don't think, personally, I don't think The Last of Us needed a sequel.

I thought the way it ended was...

I thought it was just a perfect story that wrapped up in the way that it should have wrapped up.

And I'm just not into the continuation of that story.

And since that's what the game is, I have not played it.

Well, dude, even the Uncharted, I tried to go back.

Well, I started at the first one again.

And it's awful.

Oh, it's a slog, dude.

Well, there's some parts where I just can't get through because I keep getting killed because of the gun battles.

Yeah, that last like a million freaking years.

Yeah, and there's different stages of the gun battle, but it sends you all the way back, usually, to two or three parts.

And it's like, dude, can you just...

Oh, here we go again.

I don't want to climb down first.

There's one where you climb down into a room, and it kind of has water in it and columns, and you're like hiding behind the columns and shooting people.

And it's just like, dude...

See, the third one was the most well-balanced.

I think I played that one.

That one was great.

And that had a really good story.

But yeah, I mean, the fourth one was just a climbing sim.

It's just like, how much fucking climbing are we going to do in this game?

Oh, well, it looks like the door's locked.

We're going to have to find another way in.

Are we going to climb?

I guess we're going to climb again.

And then the first one, yeah, it's nothing but gun battles, and the boat shit was terrible.

Oh, yeah, there's one like you're in a ballroom type thing on a boat, and people are coming down off the balcony.

And that was another scene where I was just like, God.

That was in the third one, wasn't it?

Yeah, I think so.

Yeah.

I liked that.

It was cool because the boat capsizes.

I think so.

And you're running down.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that was cool.

Yeah.

All right.

All right.

Oh, we better move on.

I capsized that round.

Woo!

Let's see.

Yeah.

OK, so that's me starting off this one.

It's a song called Hacked Grey.

It's like the fourth stage in Natsuki Conical's third or fourth.

It's a slower funky number.

The artist is Super Sweep, which is, I don't remember the guy's name.

It was released in 2019.

Hiyo!

That song was called Rich, that's dedicated to you, by the artist Megan McDuffie from the game River City Girls, released 2019,

MMMM HMMM, before that was Magic Johnson's basketball theme, from Tim Fallon on the C64, released 1989,

and prior to that was the song The Witch's Breath by Milly or Yamato Kasai, game Ender Lilies, just came out this year.

Like Kimiko Kasai, no that's not, there's just that lady, she has a whole album called Butterfly and it's just basically that Herbie Hancock album Thrust, but her singing on top of the tracks.

Really?

Yeah, it's like Herbie Hancock songs, but they're singing on it.

That's weak dude.

It is kind of weak, but they sound good.

Oh, okay.

You know, some of that 70s funk jazz, like, do you know what's a great part about all that stuff?

Oh, is this from the 70s?

Yeah.

Oh, okay, okay.

So this was like in conjunction with him?

Yeah, I don't know if he worked on it personally, but a lot of that 70s shit sounds good.

It is.

In the early 80s like that J-pop, not J-pop, J-jazz kind of, I don't know what it is, city pop kind of.

City pop, yeah.

But on your stereo it sounds really good, like the production is just so clean.

The bass is punchy, you know, it just sounds good.

Yeah, I like, I've listened to a lot of city pop these days.

What I'm trying to think is some of the good, Anri.

Oh yeah.

I like Anri.

Timely, and the other one, the hotel, whatever.

Yeah, Takeshi, oh god, I can't remember.

Yamash, Yama, something.

Plastic Love, whoever.

Oh yeah, Maria Takeuchi.

Takeuchi, yeah.

That's it.

I really like Taeko Ohnuki.

Onuki, yep, okay, I know who you're talking about.

Yeah, I don't, I probably said it all wrong, but she's a great singer.

She's got like the really good band behind her, really good jazz, and she's a good singer.

I really, some of them, people are, some of it's just like little bubblegum pop groups, I like that too.

You know, but the ones that can, the ones, there I am again, me being Richard the crotchety old racist, and I'm not, I'm not.

No, no, you can say the ones because you're referring to the mini-context.

I know, I know, and I'm referring to singers too, but I'm just like pointing out, like it's so easy to be taken, misconstrued, your context can be screwed up, and I'm just making fun of myself.

But I like, I like the city pop stuff because it's not, you know, it's not saccharine sweet, like J-pop is known for, you know, this was before all of that started going on, so it's like, it actually just sounds like kind of western pop.

Because a lot of it is, yeah.

Yeah, really.

But it's got, it's thick, man, it's got like some, it's got some rhythm, some soul, some like good vocalization, good melody, harmony stuff, and it's, you know, it's very music driven, it's not like a machine, it doesn't sound like it comes out of the machine, you know what I mean?

Yeah.

Like the J-pop machine of later years, so.

I have a story.

Okay.

I have a story, I have to tell this because it's funny.

Is it about witches?

It is not about witches.

Did we even name it, say that this episode is called Witch Tickler?

Yeah.

Witch's Breath.

Yeah, but did we say at the beginning of the episode?

Well you'll see it.

Did it was Witch Tickler?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

Because we cackled.

Oh yeah.

Doi.

Yeah.

Doi.

Like crotchety old warlock, remember?

We got diddled.

Oh yeah.

Oh God.

God, we did get bad in this episode, didn't we?

I found this, I was going through my mail, you know, I'm really bad with mail, I just kind of let it pile up, you know, I don't open it ever.

And so, like once every like six, eight months I go through, get all the mail, shred it, see if there's anything important.

Anyway, I come across this letter from the driver's license division and it says basically that I have to provide a doctor's form that says that I am okay, medically okay to drive.

Because I'm diabetic.

Okay.

So, diabetics have to do this.

There's some stuff sometimes?

Absolutely, and you can pass out, yeah.

Well that, yeah, and also the diabetic retinopathy, so you have to be legally, you can't be legally blind.

Well, I never filled this out, so I called there to see what the score was and I have been, I have had a suspended license for a year.

Nice.

I've been driving illegally since August of last year.

Wow.

I know.

So you still, are you still?

Yeah.

Are you still driving illegally?

Fuck yeah.

I can't get the form in until Tuesday, so they're just going to have to deal with it.

Well, it seems like it's okay until something.

And it hasn't impacted me yet.

So I guess if I were to get pulled over, the police officer would be like, you know you're on a suspended license.

No way, I was not aware of that.

What?

I don't know.

What are you talking about?

But I think it's, what's funny is that they sent me this letter and that's fine, that's something you communicate by mail, but there's been no follow-up.

No follow-up letters?

There's been no follow-up letters.

There's been no calls.

They send one letter and it's like, fill this out or you're suspended.

Yeah.

They should just send more letters.

I know.

I mean, cause you don't do official business over phone usually cause I won't answer the phone.

I, you know, if someone's going to serve me papers, it's going to be in person.

Yeah.

I guess that's true.

It's something like that.

The medical stuff.

Yeah.

Motherfucker.

Sorry.

Good dog bit you.

A little bit.

Yeah.

He bit like the chair he's chewing on.

I tried to push his mouth away, but his mouth snapped and it was like, Ow,

he's eating furniture now.

Yeah.

He's at that age.

He's been an annoying bitch.

All right.

You got anything else?

No, I'm ready to wrap it up.

Sorry for, I'm done.

I, God damn it.

I want to stop it.

I'm not political.

I don't have political beliefs.

Everyone.

Sorry.

Um, I just like to rant and moan and bitch.

I'm not apologizing for shit.

I'll still go to Chick-fil-A.

I'm going to get me in my pillow.

No, I'm not going to do that.

I'm just going to go home and bite my pillow because I'm, I like waiting for Gufman a lot.

So you're all bastard people.
