Hungry As A Hostage

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,400
Well, shit. I hope I didn't fuck that up, but...

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,400
I may be good-looking, but I can't sing worth a fuck.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,500
See you next Tuesday. I have a little enamel pin.

4
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:09,300
I love that.

5
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:10,300
Excuse me.

6
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:11,000
Nice.

7
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,400
I'm not like Jake where it's like, hey ladies.

8
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:14,500
Well, you know, hey.

9
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:15,500
Check out this dick.

10
00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:18,900
Got that fucking Barry White voice going on.

11
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:20,700
Come on to my house.

12
00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:21,600
Hey, mama.

13
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:22,800
Be my biatch.

14
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,100
Giddens. Giddens.

15
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:26,000
Fuck me running.

16
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:26,800
Words are hard, man.

17
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,800
Giddens.

18
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,200
Stop watching fucking PornHub on your phone there, first of all.

19
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,600
Well, let's just slow down a little bit there, Jake.

20
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,000
I read smut like it's my fucking job.

21
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,900
Going through midget porn withdrawals right about now.

22
00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:40,700
That's true.

23
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:43,300
Most of them are pretty cool.

24
00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:45,900
I hear things going on down there that are just not good.

25
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:59,400
I'm Jake Jacobs and you're listening to What the Fuck.

26
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,200
I'm going to start this session off with a joke.

27
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,000
Do it.

28
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,600
What do you call a gathering of Karens?

29
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,800
The View?

30
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:10,600
Oh shit.

31
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,700
You know, Don, I think I like that punch line better than mine.

32
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:16,400
I know I was going to say an HOA.

33
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,900
Punxsutawney Phil

34
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:19,600
Yeah, that fucking asshole.

35
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,800
Saw his shadow.

36
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:21,500
Yeah, he did.

37
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:22,800
Six more weeks of winter.

38
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,900
And Gobbler's Knob.

39
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:24,800
I always love saying that.

40
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,800
Gobbler's Knob.

41
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,000
Gobbler's Knob.

42
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,900
That conjures up an image that does not say Groundhogs.

43
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:32,500
I'm sorry.

44
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:34,400
No, it does not.

45
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,200
Oh my God.

46
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,000
Yes, I was just about to say he saw his shadow.

47
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:38,700
I just looked it up.

48
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:41,900
Which, fuck, now I have to watch that fucking movie today.

49
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:42,900
Yes, you do.

50
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:44,600
It's 59 degrees in my house right now.

51
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,400
Oof.

52
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,000
59 in your house now?

53
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,500
That's why I'm wearing my wearable blanket.

54
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:51,400
It goes down to my feet.

55
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,400
Is that a Snuggie?

56
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,400
No, it's not a Snuggie.

57
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,300
It's an actual like, so it's not open in the back.

58
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:59,000
It's literally like a giant hoodie that goes down to my feet.

59
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,300
And it's made of blanket material.

60
00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:03,600
We used to call that, what do they call that?

61
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,000
Fleece?

62
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,500
We used to call it turtle fur.

63
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:06,800
Growing up in Louisiana, it was turtle fur.

64
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:07,800
Yeah, it's a type of fleece.

65
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,300
But it's like, because I got the weird tactile Neuro Spicy

66
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:15,000
and I don't like, like Sherpa makes me want to scratch my skin off my body.

67
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,500
This does not have Sherpa in it.

68
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:19,000
I was like, that was the one stipulation when I was looking for you.

69
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,400
I don't even know what the fuck Sherpa is.

70
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,900
Sherpa is that like, I just nod my head like, yeah.

71
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:26,800
It's like that blanket material that like kind of almost looks like sheep's wool.

72
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,600
Like, you know, on the inside of a blanket.

73
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,200
Like, the outside will be like that nice, like whatever this is.

74
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,300
And then on the inside, it'll be like, it's usually white.

75
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:35,700
It's like a white or cream color.

76
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:39,600
And it's like kind of almost like a woolly scratchy consistency.

77
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,200
It's fucking disgusting.

78
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:41,700
I hate it.

79
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:45,200
So Sherpa is like Swahili for fake sheepskin.

80
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,100
Yes.

81
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:48,800
Yeah, it's like fake sheep's wool.

82
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,500
And it's horrendous.

83
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:53,300
It's like microfiber towels that just like, ugh.

84
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:56,000
Samantha, are you a texture person when it comes to food as well?

85
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,300
Yes, part of it, it's my ADHD and my little what I call tism on the side.

86
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:03,800
I don't like certain textures.

87
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,300
They freak me out.

88
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:07,800
So yes, I don't have any microfiber in my house.

89
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,400
I hate Sherpa.

90
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,400
Like I had a blanket that somebody got for my daughter that had Sherpa.

91
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,500
And I was like, keep it far away from me.

92
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:15,600
I'm going to have to look up Sherpa now and see what the hell it is.

93
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,500
Yeah, once you see it, you'll like, oh, yeah, no, I know what that is.

94
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:21,200
You probably own something with it and you just don't realize it's called Sherpa.

95
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,500
And then I'm going to hate it.

96
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:23,300
Yes, you're going to touch it.

97
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:24,400
You're like, Sam hates it.

98
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,100
Now I hate it.

99
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:27,400
Don's looking it up right now.

100
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,500
Sherpa.

101
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:32,000
Yeah, like you'll see like there's a lot of like hoodies and blankets will be made

102
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,400
like on one side is like a nice soft material like this.

103
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,700
And on the other side of the blanket is like that whitey creamy color.

104
00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:40,600
Yeah, I probably already know what it is.

105
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,200
Like Don already knew what malicious compliance was.

106
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,400
He just never heard the term right.

107
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,100
Yeah, right.

108
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:48,400
Yeah. Once you see it, you'll be like, oh, yeah, I've got a I've got a jacket like that

109
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,200
out of that bag.

110
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,900
Or I'm like, here it comes.

111
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:55,700
So Sherpa, I got you, Jake.

112
00:03:55,700 --> 00:04:01,200
A curly piled fabric structure made of synthetic yarns like acrylic or polyester.

113
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,000
The texture is soft and fluffy, useful in jackets resembling wool.

114
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,500
Our sheepskin on the piled side.

115
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:11,300
Sherpa fleece is a knitted type of fabric usable in line.

116
00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:12,600
Blah, blah.

117
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,000
All right.

118
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
So cheap is why it gets put in there.

119
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000
But here's the AI, the generative AI.

120
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:19,700
Oh my God.

121
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:22,900
So this makes most people that are nervous, they don't like it.

122
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:27,200
No, well, you're kind of racist because it's an ethnic group of people who live in the

123
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,400
Khumbu region of the Himalayas.

124
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:34,200
They got some really great climbing skills, endurance, and the word Sherpa comes from

125
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,200
Tibetan.

126
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,500
Oh, Sherpa is like the people that help you up a mountain when you're mountain climbing.

127
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:38,600
That's exactly correct.

128
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:38,800
Right.

129
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,200
No, no, no.

130
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,800
I'm fine with those kind of Sherpas.

131
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,600
Well, I hope so.

132
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,500
The people Sherpas, because the material Sherpa can go fucking south.

133
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:47,000
Whoa.

134
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Fucking Sherpa.

135
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,100
Yeah, these Sherpa people, totally fine in my book.

136
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:51,500
Sure.

137
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:52,900
Yeah, Sherpa material.

138
00:04:52,900 --> 00:05:00,600
There's also a brand of pet carriers, sustainable housing tool developed by UN Habitat, a visa

139
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,900
provider that offers simplified application forms and pre-screening.

140
00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:08,800
My only qualm in this world is with Sherpa, the fabric.

141
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,300
All right, so all the rest of that shit's bullshit.

142
00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:13,100
You just don't want the fake sheets to get up against your...

143
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:13,800
Damn.

144
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,600
That's fair.

145
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,800
So welcome to the Shit Show, part three, where Don tells us what the fuck happened this

146
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:19,400
week, Don.

147
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,000
Tell us.

148
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,200
I had a what the fuck Friday, actually.

149
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,200
I can't say I didn't see it coming because, you know, we talked about this shit before,

150
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,900
but I joined this company.

151
00:05:26,900 --> 00:05:28,900
I didn't go looking for a job, I assure you.

152
00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:30,900
I was pretty happy being retired.

153
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:35,900
I got a call from this private equity firm, interviewed the whole process, got hired on.

154
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:37,400
This was back in October.

155
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,900
They just needed some help, right?

156
00:05:38,900 --> 00:05:43,000
So I brought up my alley and I should have fucking known, man, because listen, I've talked

157
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:43,900
about the CEO before.

158
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:44,800
I won't mention his name.

159
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,000
I had to do a presentation.

160
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,500
This is a big blown out presentation.

161
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:48,900
Nothing new for me.

162
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:52,600
I mean, the minute I fucking opened my mouth and started presenting this thing, he kind

163
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:53,400
of took it over.

164
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,700
I was like, well, all right.

165
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:59,100
I didn't think much of it, but after a while, you know, it got into just everything I did.

166
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:03,100
He, you know, I brought all these, these processes and programs to the table, which I said I

167
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:04,100
would do at my interview.

168
00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:07,700
And he wanted me to spend this shit around like the day I got in it and was learning

169
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:08,900
how to drive it.

170
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:13,600
And then other things were, you know, brought to the table that are valuable.

171
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,200
I mean, this is business, you know, and my degree is in business.

172
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,200
This fucking guy wanted to kind of tell me what to do and how to do it.

173
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,000
You know, I told him to leave me alone, get out of my way.

174
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,400
And he's like, well, you kind of got to earn that.

175
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,100
I'm like, earn it.

176
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:25,000
You can earn this.

177
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,900
You hired me to do a job motherfucker.

178
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:30,500
And Samantha had some handy ideas about how to, what was the term you used?

179
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:32,500
It was a malicious compliance.

180
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:33,700
Malicious fucking compliance.

181
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:34,500
I love that.

182
00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:37,600
Samantha, Don texted me the next day.

183
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,600
He's like, how is it that I didn't know that term malicious compliance?

184
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,000
He's like, I fucking love Samantha.

185
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,200
Oh yeah, I did.

186
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:48,900
And I think it was more colloquially coined in my generation.

187
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:49,200
Okay.

188
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,400
Well, that's fair enough.

189
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,900
In any case, he and I had a real, you know, it was like, I was bringing all

190
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:57,600
these processes that I've used for years, very successfully.

191
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,200
I think these things have worked.

192
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,300
They're sustainable.

193
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:02,100
Just good business practices.

194
00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:05,800
Keep your ass out of lawsuit court and all kinds of in any case, you want to

195
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,600
tell me how to, how to do them next.

196
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,800
And then one day we were on the phone.

197
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,300
I was, we were talking about this elevator at this one hotel.

198
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:13,700
And I said, here's what I'm going to do to these thresholds.

199
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:15,900
And he starts, you know, you guys have all used an elevator.

200
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:20,400
You walk on and he has this fucking guy has never cleaned a building in his fucking life.

201
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,700
And this fucking guy wanted to have me in great detail how he didn't like the

202
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:27,200
way I, I then told me how to do it.

203
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,200
And I knew at that point we had a fucking problem.

204
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,700
It's like, all right.

205
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:32,800
So I was just like, you know what?

206
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,300
You're right.

207
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:36,300
And finally I just became, I did exactly what I said I wouldn't do.

208
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:37,000
I was like, Mr.

209
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,400
Yes, man, just trying to hold it together and keep the peace.

210
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,200
And he and I had some serious disagreements on what human resources

211
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,000
were supposed to do when it comes to training and all these different things.

212
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:46,700
Well, that's kind of you.

213
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:50,800
I'm like, I'm a goddamn operations guy, you know, I need to get the training.

214
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,200
I brought the, I brought you training that you didn't have.

215
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,800
I asked for somebody to fucking help me with this shit, just rebranding it.

216
00:07:57,100 --> 00:08:00,400
So one day fucking HR chick who I thought was a really good guy.

217
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,600
She's a fucking dunce.

218
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,000
The next thing you know, don't miss words.

219
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,500
These Colorado people.

220
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:09,600
But anyway, she just kind of chucked me onto the bus and I'm pretty sure that

221
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,200
the CEO was kind of feeding her information.

222
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,200
Like, you know, we got to manage this guy out of a job.

223
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,400
I mean, I've done this before.

224
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,100
So, so I kind of know what it looks like, but quiet firing.

225
00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:18,300
Yeah.

226
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:18,700
Yeah.

227
00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:19,400
Quiet firing.

228
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,900
So anyway, she and I got into a pissing contest and I thought we had business.

229
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:28,000
Anyway, long story longer, I ended the phone call very abruptly.

230
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:32,400
I called the CEO and I said, listen, I just, I just broke it off and HR's ass.

231
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:34,000
And he was just like, all right, thanks for telling me.

232
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,100
Friday came around and about, I don't know, four o'clock my time and they're,

233
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:39,400
they're sitting on their asses in Colorado in the office.

234
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,100
So they know exactly what's going on in the field.

235
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:43,400
Said, Hey, this is going to be a tough conversation.

236
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,800
You know, today's your last day at try it.

237
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,200
I'm just like, I wasn't that tough.

238
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,200
What was so tough about that?

239
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,000
Fucking threatened me with a good time motherfucker.

240
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,800
But you know, one thing I saw though was they, they're human resources.

241
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,000
And I hope their private equity firm will listen to this, but they just fire people.

242
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,600
I, you know, since I've been there, I'm one of them, which I kind of saw it coming.

243
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,100
So, and I really don't give a shit at all.

244
00:09:06,100 --> 00:09:09,700
It was good while it lasted, but I was, I ain't losing another week of

245
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:10,900
sleeping over that fucking guy.

246
00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:13,200
And it ain't the company because they have some really good people in there.

247
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:15,100
Karma will fuck his ass up.

248
00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:15,500
Oh yeah.

249
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:16,000
Karma always does.

250
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:16,600
It is common.

251
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:17,500
It is common.

252
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,500
Cause I don't know if you guys knew this.

253
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:20,200
I'm a Virgo.

254
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:21,700
I'm a, I'm a cancer.

255
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:23,000
I'm a, I'm protected.

256
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:25,300
We are, we are spiritually protected.

257
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:28,900
And I don't know what he is, but he's evil and he can go fuck himself.

258
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,800
So, and I'm spiritually emotional at all points in time.

259
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,300
Well, don't sugarcoat it Don.

260
00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:34,400
Tell us how you really fucking feel.

261
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,200
No, Jake, you know me long enough.

262
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,500
Years ago during one of the political campaigns, probably for president,

263
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:43,300
I had some very strong opinions and I was going to try to change your

264
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:46,000
fucking mind based on that and blah, blah, blah.

265
00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:51,800
And now I don't give to fiddlers fucks because it is what it is.

266
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,800
And, and so what I want to do is I want puppy dogs and miniature

267
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:56,800
highland cows.

268
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:57,700
That's what I'm looking for.

269
00:09:58,300 --> 00:09:59,900
I do too.

270
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:03,800
Don and I are on opposite ends of the political spectrum and we both know that.

271
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:09,900
However, we have remained good friends, best friends for the longest time.

272
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:10,900
Don't give a shit.

273
00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:12,500
He knows what I think about politics.

274
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:15,600
I know what he thinks about politics, but that has not come between us.

275
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,400
And unfortunately, I know a lot of people right now that are having to

276
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,000
ditch good friends they've had for years.

277
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,000
They're having to set aside family members because, because, oh, I don't.

278
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,100
I mean, it is bullshit.

279
00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:27,800
My father is opposite of me politically.

280
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,600
And I told him that based on whatever happens in selection going forward,

281
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,000
I said no political talk when I come to visit, keep it family, whatever.

282
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,600
And he's pretty much adhered to it.

283
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,300
We've occasionally made remarks, nothing like super snide or anything.

284
00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:41,700
So he'll be like, are you trying to talk about it?

285
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:43,000
I'm like, no, no, just squash it.

286
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:43,700
Just never mind.

287
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:44,700
Forget I even said anything.

288
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,700
Yeah, no, we're going to talk about food now.

289
00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:48,600
And I, my favorite subject, please.

290
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:51,600
Yesterday, I had a damn near religious experience.

291
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,100
I love me a Chicago hot dog.

292
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,600
That was just that style of Chicago.

293
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,300
Up until yesterday, my favorite hot dog place was a place called Corey's

294
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:01,000
dog house.

295
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:05,500
And then I heard of a place in Gallatin where Don used to live.

296
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:05,900
That's right.

297
00:11:05,900 --> 00:11:09,800
And this place is called Campione's Taste of Chicago.

298
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,500
Heard nothing but good about this place and went over there, had a Chicago dog.

299
00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:17,500
And as I'm sitting there enjoying this steady stream of people coming into this place,

300
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,000
they have other things besides hot dogs.

301
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:19,600
They have pizza.

302
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,000
They have Italian beef sandwiches.

303
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,200
Oh, they're Italian beef to die for.

304
00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:25,300
I got a weird thing about preformed meat.

305
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:29,000
There's a joke there somewhere, but I'm going to stay away from it.

306
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:29,800
Yeah, I know.

307
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:30,600
I've tried.

308
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,300
It's not like I haven't tried them and been like, ew, I don't like it.

309
00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:36,500
Like I've literally I've tried eating it and I threw up when I ate it.

310
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:38,500
And I was like, I guess hot dogs are not for me.

311
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,800
So I sent Don a text.

312
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,700
I said, hey brother, I'm sitting in Campione's.

313
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:44,700
Did you ever eat here while you were here?

314
00:11:44,700 --> 00:11:45,400
He's like, oh hell yeah.

315
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:46,700
That was right close to the house.

316
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:47,100
Yep.

317
00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:48,900
That was my, that was my go-to man.

318
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,300
Holy shit.

319
00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:53,900
I get weird cravings for like red meat, but at the same time red meat makes my

320
00:11:53,900 --> 00:11:55,900
stomach feel like I eat glass shards.

321
00:11:56,500 --> 00:12:00,500
I don't know why, but every once in a while I just get a hankering for a burger

322
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,900
and we'll go to Five Guys and I'm like, this is great.

323
00:12:02,900 --> 00:12:05,300
I'm going to hate myself, you know, but this is great.

324
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:07,700
I love Five Guys, but Jesus Christ.

325
00:12:07,700 --> 00:12:09,700
Is there beef made out of fucking gold?

326
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,500
Like, yeah, that shit's expensive.

327
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:11,900
Dude.

328
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:13,300
Holy shit.

329
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:14,600
That's why it's a rare treat.

330
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,400
Good God.

331
00:12:15,700 --> 00:12:19,000
I'm going to throw this at you guys and you can be judgmental if you wish.

332
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,500
Number one for breakfast.

333
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:21,800
Motherfucking Wendy's.

334
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,000
Right off the bat.

335
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:24,100
Wendy's.

336
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:24,900
Do it.

337
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,300
Still best burger on the planet.

338
00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:28,600
Whopper.

339
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,500
Burger King, motherfucking Whopper.

340
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:31,700
Still made out of meat.

341
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:32,200
I agree.

342
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,700
I don't know that I've ever actually tried it.

343
00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:37,500
And if you are non, if you're a vegetarian, the, what is it?

344
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:38,500
Impossible Whopper.

345
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:39,800
They're plant-based.

346
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:42,300
Tastes like a motherfucking Whopper.

347
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,300
It is just as good as the beef.

348
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:48,700
So you could, so vegetarians and vegans can enjoy that with confidence.

349
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,100
See, I woke up this morning and I was hungry as a hostage.

350
00:12:53,700 --> 00:12:55,900
I've never fucking heard that before.

351
00:12:57,500 --> 00:13:00,600
I have heard that, but it's been a hot minute since I've heard that.

352
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,300
Oh my God.

353
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:02,500
Just know that I was.

354
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:05,100
Let that paint a fucking picture for you.

355
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,000
Hey, no offense to any hostages out there.

356
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,100
Starving like Marvin.

357
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:08,500
Yeah.

358
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:09,900
None below for you, but here's the thing.

359
00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:14,900
So I busted out four of these beautiful eggs, fresh cheese on that.

360
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:16,300
Cook that shit up.

361
00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:18,300
Throw some bacon in the air fryer.

362
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:19,400
That's the way to go.

363
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:22,700
Fried up the bacon, the thick shit, not that thin crap.

364
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,100
And then took three tortillas and put them together in a microwave

365
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:28,200
and sort of soft them up.

366
00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:30,900
Piled all that shit in these tortillas with some fucking hot sauce.

367
00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:32,600
On that, bro.

368
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:33,800
That was breakfast this morning.

369
00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:37,300
Don't a Taco Bell, a Taco Bell ish.

370
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:40,500
But it was, it was for fat people.

371
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:41,900
I fucked that shit.

372
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:43,500
I'm trying to please wait.

373
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:44,200
Damn it.

374
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,200
My inner fat kid is a, now I'm hungry.

375
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:49,500
First year I was here in Nashville.

376
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,400
They do this thing every year called the Americana Festival, where it's

377
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:55,800
a whole bunch of really great bands get together and Americana, which

378
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,200
is kind of like country, kind of not like country, whatever.

379
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,700
Billy Bob Thornton, the actor has had a band for a long time called

380
00:14:01,700 --> 00:14:05,700
the Boxmasters and they're like rock country retro.

381
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:06,800
I mean, it's a really cool band.

382
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,700
Billy Bob plays the drums and he sings.

383
00:14:08,700 --> 00:14:09,200
Rockabilly.

384
00:14:09,300 --> 00:14:10,100
Yeah, rockabilly.

385
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:10,400
Yeah.

386
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:14,800
So one of the shows that night was at the Cannery Ballroom, which

387
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:16,000
the place is brick.

388
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,600
So the sound in there bounces off the walls like rubber balls, right?

389
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,400
So Billy Bob's getting ready to come out and there's this fucking

390
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:29,200
bachelorette party fucking comes blowing through and that's, oh my God.

391
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,600
And in Nashville, we call them the fucking woo girls.

392
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:31,900
Okay.

393
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:35,300
They'll walk into a bar and you're trying to, you're trying to watch

394
00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:37,000
a band and they're just wooing it up.

395
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:42,200
And so this bachelorette party makes its way to the front of the

396
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,900
fucking stage to see Billy Bob.

397
00:14:43,900 --> 00:14:44,500
Right.

398
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:46,900
So he starts his show and his band is really good.

399
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:48,000
He's super talented dude.

400
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:48,300
Right.

401
00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:51,700
About three, four songs into it, Billy Bob looks down at one of the women

402
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:54,500
there and I guess they were complaining that they couldn't hear his voice.

403
00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:56,500
And he's like, move back and you'll be able to hear me.

404
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:58,300
Well, they, they weren't moving back.

405
00:14:58,300 --> 00:14:59,500
They were dead set.

406
00:14:59,500 --> 00:15:01,000
They had to be right where they were.

407
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:03,400
Couple of songs later, Billy Bob after song.

408
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,100
He goes, look, I done told you fuckers to step the fuck back.

409
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:07,100
If you can't fucking hear me.

410
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:10,100
He said, if you think front center is the best place to watch and hear a

411
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:12,000
band, he goes, move the fuck back.

412
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,900
Like he was like not having it anymore.

413
00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:16,200
He was done, but they kept saying, we can't hear you.

414
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,300
We can't hear you.

415
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:17,800
Woo.

416
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,600
We can't hear you.

417
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:19,500
He's like, fuck you.

418
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:22,100
He's like fucking move back about 20 feet.

419
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:25,100
Billy Bob Thornton is the motherfucking guy.

420
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:28,500
And if you guys have not seen his new show called land man, man.

421
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:29,200
Oh my God.

422
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:29,800
I haven't seen it.

423
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:30,800
You've got to watch it.

424
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:31,900
Just start at the beginning.

425
00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:32,400
Yeah.

426
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,500
That character that he plays in that is a very sharp tongue.

427
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,300
Smart guy.

428
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:42,400
It's really a fun show to watch, especially with a personality like Billy Bob Thornton.

429
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,400
And I think after all these years of watching his movies and this really showcases.

430
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:47,800
Oh yeah.

431
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:48,100
Yeah.

432
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:49,300
It's true talent.

433
00:15:49,300 --> 00:15:50,100
You know, okay.

434
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:53,300
I'll give it a chance before the show Billy Bob and his band.

435
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:54,100
And it's only three of them.

436
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:55,200
It's a, it's a three piece band.

437
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,500
They were at a record store here in Nashville called Grimey's.

438
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:02,300
So they were doing a meet and greet and then they were doing an acoustic set after the

439
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:02,900
meet and greet.

440
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,700
So there was a line to see Billy Bob and he wasn't charging for it.

441
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:06,200
It was free.

442
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,100
The guy in front of me in line wasn't there for his music.

443
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:10,800
He was there to meet Billy Bob the actor.

444
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,600
So he had like DVD insert covers for him to fuck.

445
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,600
It's like he had like 10 of them.

446
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:15,000
Right.

447
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,900
And Billy Bob wasn't there for his movies.

448
00:16:16,900 --> 00:16:18,200
He was promoting his band.

449
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:18,600
Right.

450
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,100
So this guy took it upon himself.

451
00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:21,100
I'm going to meet the actor.

452
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:21,400
Right.

453
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,900
So Billy Bob signed every single one of them.

454
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:24,800
He was gracious.

455
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:25,300
He did it.

456
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:25,600
Right.

457
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,700
I come up Billy Bob said, hey, how you doing, man?

458
00:16:27,700 --> 00:16:29,300
I said, I think the previous guy missed one.

459
00:16:29,300 --> 00:16:30,700
He goes, which one did he miss?

460
00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:31,500
I said, Tombstone.

461
00:16:31,500 --> 00:16:33,600
He goes, oh my God.

462
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,900
Billy Bob Thornton is in the movie Tombstone, but only for about five minutes.

463
00:16:36,900 --> 00:16:38,500
I was going to say he is.

464
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:40,600
His five minutes is memorable.

465
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,900
He's the guy that Kurt Russell slaps in the face.

466
00:16:42,900 --> 00:16:43,700
Oh shit.

467
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:44,500
You're going to do something.

468
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:46,000
You're just going to stand there and bleed.

469
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,500
He said, man, that was a fun movie.

470
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:51,900
And so then I had Billy Bob's CD or the band's CD, and then they all signed the box.

471
00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:54,500
And he's like, hey, are you going to the show later tonight?

472
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:55,000
I'm like, yeah.

473
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,100
He said, well, he said, stick around.

474
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:57,800
We're going to do an acoustic set here at Grimey's.

475
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:58,700
Super cool dude.

476
00:16:58,700 --> 00:17:00,400
But I will tell you this.

477
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,300
He looks larger than life on screen.

478
00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:03,800
He's maybe 5'9".

479
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:04,800
Really?

480
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:05,600
If that.

481
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,500
Man, I shook his hand, and it was like, I have big hands, obviously.

482
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:10,900
He always looks like he's like close to six foot.

483
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:12,100
No.

484
00:17:12,100 --> 00:17:12,700
Really?

485
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:13,900
No, no, no, no.

486
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:15,000
Wow.

487
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,200
During the show, he did a fucking drum solo.

488
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,800
I was like, what the fuck?

489
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:19,400
Really?

490
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,000
Like, you just don't see that coming.

491
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,900
For most of the show, he was just standing up front.

492
00:17:22,900 --> 00:17:23,700
He was the singer.

493
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:24,800
So he has a regular drummer.

494
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,700
But at one part in the show, he'll get behind that drum kit.

495
00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:28,100
And he, oh my god.

496
00:17:28,100 --> 00:17:29,300
I was like, really?

497
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:30,300
Incredible.

498
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:30,900
Yeah.

499
00:17:30,900 --> 00:17:33,800
One of the songs is called Honey, I'm Watching the Game.

500
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,100
And the song is about exactly what the title says.

501
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:42,600
This guy is sitting there trying to watch a baseball game, and his wife is just nagging the fuck out of him.

502
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,400
And that's what the song is about.

503
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:46,800
Honey, I'm watching the game.

504
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,900
And it is classic Billy Bob.

505
00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:52,400
And then at the end of the song, he's like, honey, can you make me a sandwich, please?

506
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,400
Classic.

507
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,100
What the hell?

508
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,700
There we go.

509
00:17:58,700 --> 00:17:59,800
There we go.

510
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:00,900
Fantastic.

511
00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:02,800
What the fuck?

512
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,100
What the fuck?

513
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:20,600
That's not my range.
