I'm Your Huckleberry


In this episode of WTF, Jake, Sammie, and the Don round up a wild mix of WTF moments - the kind that make you laugh, cringe, and question everything. They kick things off with some positive WTFs for a change (yes, they exist), before diving into the chaos of comedy club hecklers and Jake's eternal stuggle of ordering food with no raw onions.
Big news out of Ireland: Taco Bell has finally landed. The crew debates whether this is a culinary win or a late-arriving food crime. Then they steer into heavier territory: the murky space between fake news and the actual truth - how do you tell what's real when everything's got a spin?
Finally, they close things out with a discussion of Val Kilmer's performance as Doc Holliday in Tombstone . Was it iconic, underrated, or the blueprint for swagger.? And...what does he actually say to Johnny Ringo, twice?
Fast, funny, and just unfiltered enough - this one's got range.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.459
I got a f***ing hair in my mouth. What the f***
00:00:01.459 --> 00:00:04.599
is going on here? Well, I wonder why. I'm a f***er.
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.379
Anyway. While the band's out drinking and getting
00:00:07.379 --> 00:00:10.500
strange wool, you're working. So, don't be a
00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:14.119
f***er. Yeah. It doesn't say anything dumb like,
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:16.280
eat at the Y. No, it's literally just a half
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:19.579
sun, half moon that I had drawn that he transposed
00:00:19.579 --> 00:00:22.300
onto me. On dry sterile dressing. Not duct tape.
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.679
As long as it's sterile. Jesus. There is something
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:27.359
to be said about rodent. That's all I'm going
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:31.160
to say about that. Well, in my case, it wouldn't
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:32.780
be skinny dipping. It would be chunky dunking.
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:38.240
Better fucking do what you son of a bitch. Motherfucker,
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.280
one more time. Catholicism. Catholicism. Whatever.
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.100
I don't fucking know the word for it. Catholicism.
00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:46.810
So please. So maybe I'm not fucking crazy. Well,
00:00:46.890 --> 00:00:48.689
you're fucking crazy. Well, my throat is properly
00:00:48.689 --> 00:00:51.469
lubricated. That did not sound right. That was
00:00:51.469 --> 00:00:57.109
exactly what you said. Pause. The thought went
00:00:57.109 --> 00:00:58.609
through my head and it came out of my mouth.
00:00:58.689 --> 00:01:01.630
You need to stop talking, dude. Yeah, yeah. Not
00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:03.969
for nothing, Jake, but I'm here to help. I'm
00:01:03.969 --> 00:01:06.390
Jake Jacobs. This is Sammy. This is the Don.
00:01:06.609 --> 00:01:16.500
And you're listening to What the Fuck? Welcome
00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:19.599
to What the Fuck, the podcast where we say all
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.140
the things you're thinking, but probably shouldn't.
00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:26.819
You ever had something so good, so fucking positive
00:01:26.819 --> 00:01:31.700
that you just go, what the fuck, dude? I get
00:01:31.700 --> 00:01:35.239
to do this every day, or I live here. This happened
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.500
to my wife and I. We lived in Arizona. And what
00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:39.659
brought it up is it happened again two days ago.
00:01:39.739 --> 00:01:42.120
We used to wake up every morning in our backyard
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.260
with a swimming pool, fucking beer fridge back
00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:46.180
there, big screen TV. And we looked at the fucking
00:01:46.180 --> 00:01:49.019
mountains from our backyard. It was phenomenal.
00:01:49.060 --> 00:01:51.120
And I remember sitting back there and we were
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.159
like. Wow. We live here. So she met me at the
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.239
shop the other day. Of course, I left my fucking
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.140
fog lights on. I finally fucked it up and left
00:01:58.140 --> 00:01:59.900
it on. So I burned my battery up. I went outside.
00:01:59.939 --> 00:02:01.780
The fog light was flashing. It was trying to
00:02:01.780 --> 00:02:05.060
hang in there. Help me. Oh, shit. So I put it
00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:06.739
on the battery tender and I said, hey, can I
00:02:06.739 --> 00:02:08.500
ride your motorcycle to work? And it's Friday.
00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:10.120
She always meets me at the shop. Anyway, she
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:11.580
comes over there. We have a couple of beers,
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.039
whatever we do. And we listen to music and then
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.280
we ride home down the beach. A1A. Beautiful.
00:02:16.669 --> 00:02:18.969
So she shoots me this thing and she says, look
00:02:18.969 --> 00:02:20.810
at this Cajun restaurant that just opened up.
00:02:20.969 --> 00:02:23.530
The owner's from New Orleans. So let's go check
00:02:23.530 --> 00:02:25.150
it out. Anyway, she came over, listened to some
00:02:25.150 --> 00:02:27.569
great tunes. It's a blues player, dude. This
00:02:27.569 --> 00:02:30.069
guy was tearing ass. We took off. Beautiful,
00:02:30.229 --> 00:02:32.189
sunny day. Not a cloud in the sky. And we sat
00:02:32.189 --> 00:02:34.150
down in front right on the Atlantic Ocean at
00:02:34.150 --> 00:02:36.169
this Cajun restaurant. I'm eating crawfish and
00:02:36.169 --> 00:02:38.729
gumbo. And she's eating these fucking Cajun shrimp.
00:02:38.990 --> 00:02:42.150
And we're looking out at this fucking glassy
00:02:42.150 --> 00:02:44.550
ocean. Atlantic Ocean's perfect. The sun's perfect.
00:02:44.689 --> 00:02:45.949
The temperature's perfect. Everything is. We're
00:02:45.949 --> 00:02:48.860
like, what? fuck how did this happen to us you
00:02:48.860 --> 00:02:51.400
know we get to live here but the point is it
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.900
can also be something very positive and for those
00:02:53.900 --> 00:02:56.129
of you in the field out there in our Awesome
00:02:56.129 --> 00:02:58.430
audience. We hold each other up. You know, this
00:02:58.430 --> 00:03:00.729
is our therapy. And positivity breeds positivity.
00:03:00.870 --> 00:03:02.849
We know that. But sometimes we just like to shit
00:03:02.849 --> 00:03:04.849
talk. And we shit talk each other worse than
00:03:04.849 --> 00:03:08.069
anything else. So we don't give a fuck. I just
00:03:08.069 --> 00:03:09.590
thought I wanted to bring that up. You know,
00:03:09.610 --> 00:03:11.849
heckling has been going on for a long time. Like
00:03:11.849 --> 00:03:13.669
comedians have been dealing with hecklers. But
00:03:13.669 --> 00:03:16.110
it's also, it's funny when it ties into it. And
00:03:16.110 --> 00:03:17.830
it's like just like a little sprinkle here and
00:03:17.830 --> 00:03:20.009
there. It does. Like to add to the comedy of
00:03:20.009 --> 00:03:21.949
it. But when you're just being annoying to be
00:03:21.949 --> 00:03:23.889
annoying, it's not funny anymore. If the performer
00:03:23.889 --> 00:03:26.680
plays off of you, right? Right. Otherwise, shut
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:29.840
the fuck up. Correct. There's plenty of examples
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.740
of this on YouTube, but this is just one that
00:03:31.740 --> 00:03:33.939
I saw recently where a husband and wife were
00:03:33.939 --> 00:03:36.560
there. The wife had a little bit too much to
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.280
drink and she was heckling this comedian and
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:41.840
the comedian, he was handling it like any comedian
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.620
would. Well, she was getting madder by the minute,
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.979
the more he was handling it because she thought
00:03:47.979 --> 00:03:50.400
she was in charge. She thought she was the main
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.039
star of the fucking show. Then her husband gets
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.740
involved. And her husband says, move along, move
00:03:57.740 --> 00:03:59.479
on to your next joke. Tell your wife to shut
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.800
the fuck up. The comedian just stood there and
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.000
he's like, I'm not saying another fucking word
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.240
until security kicks these two motherfuckers
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.770
out. Because I don't fucking play that bullshit.
00:04:08.770 --> 00:04:10.169
I would have done the same thing. And they got
00:04:10.169 --> 00:04:11.650
kicked out. I would have been like, oh, you want
00:04:11.650 --> 00:04:13.409
to act like a child? Guess what? You're going
00:04:13.409 --> 00:04:14.669
to get treated like one. You are not the director
00:04:14.669 --> 00:04:17.250
of my fucking comedy show. So if you're getting
00:04:17.250 --> 00:04:19.509
mad because your wife is drunk, if she's heckling
00:04:19.509 --> 00:04:21.370
me and I'm handling my business and she's getting
00:04:21.370 --> 00:04:23.750
mad at that, that's your fucking problem. Sounds
00:04:23.750 --> 00:04:25.949
like you got some issues too, bitch. Why would
00:04:25.949 --> 00:04:29.509
you go to a comedy show and instigate something
00:04:29.509 --> 00:04:31.850
like that? I don't understand it. You went with
00:04:31.850 --> 00:04:34.089
an agenda to that. That was just un -fucking
00:04:34.089 --> 00:04:36.310
-clocked. Move on. Move on to your next joke.
00:04:36.430 --> 00:04:38.829
No, sorry. Well, I actually witnessed this one
00:04:38.829 --> 00:04:41.470
time for real. I went to Zany's Comedy Club here
00:04:41.470 --> 00:04:43.230
in Nashville, Don. Do you remember Tim Wilson?
00:04:43.430 --> 00:04:45.850
I do. So Tim Wilson was a comedian. He did a
00:04:45.850 --> 00:04:48.810
stand -up act, but he also recorded songs. But
00:04:48.810 --> 00:04:50.889
the songs were comedy songs. Oh, so kind of like
00:04:50.889 --> 00:04:53.350
Bo Burnham, like what he does. I think you and
00:04:53.350 --> 00:04:55.269
I were at that show together. We were at one
00:04:55.269 --> 00:04:57.769
of those shows together with Tim. It might have...
00:04:57.930 --> 00:05:01.290
been so because jim lightman got us tickets to
00:05:01.290 --> 00:05:03.730
see this we got like vip seats or whatever tim
00:05:03.730 --> 00:05:05.470
came out and was doing a show and he was fucking
00:05:05.470 --> 00:05:08.310
hilarious and a man started heckling him now
00:05:08.310 --> 00:05:11.970
this man was a veteran so of course you know
00:05:11.970 --> 00:05:14.470
you think a comedian is going to cut this dude
00:05:14.470 --> 00:05:16.730
some slack no he was starting to be a karen and
00:05:16.730 --> 00:05:19.189
he was starting to cross that line from between
00:05:19.189 --> 00:05:21.370
being a heckler and being a fucking pain in the
00:05:21.370 --> 00:05:24.750
ass and at one point tim was digging into this
00:05:24.750 --> 00:05:27.470
guy's ass so bad the guy was doing Heckling was
00:05:27.470 --> 00:05:29.329
getting pissed. And Tim's like, did you think
00:05:29.329 --> 00:05:30.949
because you're a veteran that I'm going to fucking
00:05:30.949 --> 00:05:33.949
take it easy on you? No, you came here to fuck
00:05:33.949 --> 00:05:36.889
with me. So game on motherfucker. Like he gave
00:05:36.889 --> 00:05:40.970
zero fucks. As you should. Nobody's immune. This
00:05:40.970 --> 00:05:42.430
is what these people do for a living, right?
00:05:42.569 --> 00:05:45.310
People have some fucking gall, man. People are
00:05:45.310 --> 00:05:48.750
experts in their own mind. A lot of times. Legend
00:05:48.750 --> 00:05:50.329
in their own mind. Yeah. Thinking they're like
00:05:50.329 --> 00:05:53.329
masters of like everything. And you're like.
00:05:53.930 --> 00:05:57.649
No. I'm a big fan of comedic intellect. If you
00:05:57.649 --> 00:06:00.009
want to hear the truth, go listen to an intelligent
00:06:00.009 --> 00:06:02.629
comedian or somebody who's speaking in terms
00:06:02.629 --> 00:06:05.670
of world facts and views. Those motherfuckers
00:06:05.670 --> 00:06:08.009
are smart and you're going to have a real hard
00:06:08.009 --> 00:06:10.889
time out negotiating them, so to speak, you know,
00:06:10.889 --> 00:06:13.110
or out funnying them. It's a free country. Freedom
00:06:13.110 --> 00:06:15.759
of speech, right? Yes, there is freedom of speech.
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.300
However, you go to a comedy club, you add alcohol
00:06:18.300 --> 00:06:20.139
to that freedom of speech, and you decide that
00:06:20.139 --> 00:06:23.220
you're going to inject your main character syndrome
00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:25.379
into the comedy show, and you get torn apart.
00:06:25.899 --> 00:06:27.699
Don't cry about it, because when they tear your
00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:29.399
ass apart, there's no freedom of speech at that
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.439
point. Freedom of speech, our First Amendment,
00:06:31.740 --> 00:06:35.600
reminding the government that they cannot limit
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.300
your speech, even if that speech is a hate speech.
00:06:38.500 --> 00:06:41.060
That is still freedom of speech. And say things
00:06:41.060 --> 00:06:42.720
against the government. That's freedom of speech.
00:06:43.370 --> 00:06:45.649
What I say to Jake has nothing to do with freedom
00:06:45.649 --> 00:06:48.230
of speech. If I go to a comedy club and I'm yapping,
00:06:48.370 --> 00:06:50.290
that has nothing to do with free speech in a
00:06:50.290 --> 00:06:53.810
political sense. But freedom of speech has never
00:06:53.810 --> 00:06:57.960
exempted anyone from the resultant retort. So
00:06:57.960 --> 00:07:01.000
you fuck around. Part of the process of fucking
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.079
around, as we know, is finding out. You gonna
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:06.879
find out. So fuck around and find out, basically.
00:07:06.980 --> 00:07:08.959
I just had a real -time what the fuck happened
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.660
just outside the window. This is how shit happens,
00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:13.420
right? So it has been raining since early this
00:07:13.420 --> 00:07:16.259
morning. And it was raining when we started recording.
00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:19.639
And my street is a haven for people walking their
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:21.660
dogs, walking their kids. Walking their kids.
00:07:22.569 --> 00:07:23.930
A couple minutes ago, I don't know if you saw
00:07:23.930 --> 00:07:26.029
me look over and make a face, but this dude was
00:07:26.029 --> 00:07:28.930
walking his dog with a baby. I'm assuming there
00:07:28.930 --> 00:07:30.709
was a baby in the stroller. And it was pouring
00:07:30.709 --> 00:07:33.629
down, raining. Enough to where the dog was stopping
00:07:33.629 --> 00:07:35.529
like every couple inches to shake the water off.
00:07:35.610 --> 00:07:37.009
And I'm like, you know, I'm all about walking
00:07:37.009 --> 00:07:39.569
a kid and walking a dog. But obviously when you
00:07:39.569 --> 00:07:41.990
left your house, whatever neighborhood that you're
00:07:41.990 --> 00:07:44.470
in. It was either raining or looked like it was
00:07:44.470 --> 00:07:46.470
going to rain. And now you have your kid and
00:07:46.470 --> 00:07:48.089
your dog in that pouring rain. They're going
00:07:48.089 --> 00:07:50.870
to be soaked. I at least thought, what the fuck?
00:07:50.889 --> 00:07:53.810
Hopefully it's not like a legit infant. I mean,
00:07:53.850 --> 00:07:56.529
I don't know. It was a stroller, so that's all
00:07:56.529 --> 00:07:59.470
I know. Real time, what the fuck happens. Listen,
00:08:00.370 --> 00:08:04.110
that's lit, Jake. No cap. Lit? I mean, maybe
00:08:04.110 --> 00:08:07.879
that was that dude's flex. I'll just wait until
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:09.839
you start getting the Gen Alphas that come in
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.560
saying, like, that's so Ohio. What the skibbity?
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:14.939
Yeah, that's fucking low -key. I don't know what
00:08:14.939 --> 00:08:17.040
half that shit means. That's low -key slinging
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.300
shade, baby. So, Jake, tell us about when you
00:08:20.300 --> 00:08:21.560
walk into a restaurant and you order something
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:23.500
with no goddamn onions. Because you can't just
00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:25.819
pull an onion off without onion residual being
00:08:25.819 --> 00:08:27.439
on there. It's just too fucking late. You've
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:28.759
got to start over. You know, I don't think I've
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:32.559
ever talked about this. I fucking hate. Raw onions.
00:08:32.820 --> 00:08:35.080
Raw onions, right. I can't eat them. Do you make
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.879
an exception for in salsa? No, I can't even do
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.039
salsa. So it's no pico de gallo onions, none
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:42.840
of that. Yeah, because pico, they use those fucking
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:44.500
red onions too. They're strong as fuck. Yeah,
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:48.100
they are. But raw onions, I will gag and I will
00:08:48.100 --> 00:08:50.179
barf. Those two things will happen sequentially,
00:08:50.299 --> 00:08:54.529
okay? Damn, Jake. However. I can eat them if
00:08:54.529 --> 00:08:56.330
they're cooked. So you'll eat them slimy but
00:08:56.330 --> 00:09:00.409
not raw. Is it a texture thing? No, no. There's
00:09:00.409 --> 00:09:02.370
a different texture between a raw onion and a
00:09:02.370 --> 00:09:04.250
cooked onion, right? It's the acidity in a raw
00:09:04.250 --> 00:09:07.070
onion that will just make me sick. I can't do
00:09:07.070 --> 00:09:09.539
it. Now, I can eat a raw radish, which is a very
00:09:09.539 --> 00:09:12.259
close relative to the onion, super close. I'm
00:09:12.259 --> 00:09:13.980
fine with radishes, but some people are going
00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:15.820
to be like, well, why don't you just do a Vidalia
00:09:15.820 --> 00:09:17.820
onion? It's the same thing. Something in the
00:09:17.820 --> 00:09:20.100
genetic makeup of onions in general that they
00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:22.659
share that you can't have. So if I go to a burger
00:09:22.659 --> 00:09:24.740
place, Don and I's favorite burger place is Burger
00:09:24.740 --> 00:09:26.740
King. If you order a Whopper or a Double Whopper,
00:09:26.820 --> 00:09:29.320
and if you don't tell them anything to change
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.000
on it, it will come with onions, lettuce, tomatoes,
00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:33.700
mayo, you know, the whole nine yards, right?
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.200
Onions just come automatically unless you tell
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:37.950
them don't. put onions on it. Right. Hey, let
00:09:37.950 --> 00:09:40.669
me get a Whopper with no onions. Nine times out
00:09:40.669 --> 00:09:42.409
of 10, they're not making that sandwich special
00:09:42.409 --> 00:09:43.929
for me. They're taking one that's already been
00:09:43.929 --> 00:09:45.570
wrapped up. They're going to take the top bun
00:09:45.570 --> 00:09:46.909
off and they're going to pick the onions off.
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:49.139
That's what they do. You can argue with me all
00:09:49.139 --> 00:09:51.220
day long, but that's what they do. I've had it
00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:54.019
happen to me enough times where I order no onions,
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.379
and the first bite, I can still taste the onion
00:09:56.379 --> 00:09:58.679
because that onion leaves a flavor trail behind
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.419
that is unmistakable, and I will gag, and I will
00:10:01.419 --> 00:10:02.820
take the sandwich back, and I'll be like, make
00:10:02.820 --> 00:10:05.100
me another goddamn sandwich. This time, don't
00:10:05.100 --> 00:10:06.899
pick the onions off. Just put it together with
00:10:06.899 --> 00:10:09.620
no fucking onions. Oh, yeah. I'm getting animated
00:10:09.620 --> 00:10:14.379
now because how fucking hard is it to just make
00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:18.000
a sandwich, assemble it, Without onions. And
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.580
then the part two to that is a lot of these places
00:10:20.580 --> 00:10:22.899
have these vegetables that they use for their
00:10:22.899 --> 00:10:25.779
sandwiches, Subway, burger places, okay? They
00:10:25.779 --> 00:10:28.779
will use the same goddamn knife to cut the onion
00:10:28.779 --> 00:10:31.340
as they will the tomatoes or the pickles or whatever
00:10:31.340 --> 00:10:33.600
else they're using, right? Even if they assemble
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.700
it without onions, because they sliced that tomato
00:10:36.700 --> 00:10:38.460
with the same knife that they sliced the onion,
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:40.700
guess what I'm tasting? Onion. Now, you can call
00:10:40.700 --> 00:10:43.159
that nitpicky as fuck, but I call it... I don't
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:44.840
want to taste fucking onion. That's a pretty
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:46.919
powerful. Here's the thing, though. It's not
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.399
for anyone to say what you like and don't like.
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:53.620
None of us like to get over dramatized with anything,
00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:55.960
but sometimes it's necessary. Yeah. Right. When
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:57.700
you walk in there and say, listen, guys, it's
00:10:57.700 --> 00:10:59.639
kind of like peanut allergies. If you say you
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:01.980
have a peanut allergy, when you buy a plane ticket,
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:05.000
they remove peanuts for everybody. I mean, there
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.059
is not a peanut on the plane. So my recommendation
00:11:08.059 --> 00:11:11.039
is this because people get what they give. If
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.019
you go in there and you are like, listen, guys,
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:16.259
I love you guys. You're the best Burger King
00:11:16.259 --> 00:11:18.840
on the planet. Please do me a favor because I
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:24.259
am deathly allergic to the tryptophanic lecithin
00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:30.299
vitamin DL 12 .29er within Vidalia onions, which
00:11:30.299 --> 00:11:31.700
is what you use here at Burger King. I don't
00:11:31.700 --> 00:11:33.700
know if you knew that or not. Please make me
00:11:33.700 --> 00:11:36.220
a hamburger that has not touched onions. The
00:11:36.220 --> 00:11:37.820
knife has not touched onions because it will
00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:39.419
fucking kill me dead. Right in your restaurant.
00:11:39.820 --> 00:11:41.620
Unless you want to call the meat wagon over here
00:11:41.620 --> 00:11:43.639
to pick Jake up. So I have kind of a tie -in
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:45.960
to a guest that we had that the episode didn't
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.320
air because JJ's microphone was all kinds of
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:49.720
fucked up and there was all kinds of noise happening.
00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:52.320
But when I was stationed in Texas, JJ and I and
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.659
a couple of friends went to Corpus Christi one
00:11:54.659 --> 00:11:56.539
night. We were out partying. And of course, you
00:11:56.539 --> 00:11:57.960
know, at two o 'clock in the morning, you get
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:01.269
hungry. You want a burger. Or Taco Bell. So we
00:12:01.269 --> 00:12:03.730
went to, we went to Whataburger and I ordered
00:12:03.730 --> 00:12:06.230
a double and I said, no onions. So we all get
00:12:06.230 --> 00:12:08.470
our food and we drove back to the club that we
00:12:08.470 --> 00:12:09.850
were at because the club was still open. It was
00:12:09.850 --> 00:12:11.590
one of those after hours clubs. And I bit into
00:12:11.590 --> 00:12:13.309
this fucking burger. First fucking bite. Like
00:12:13.309 --> 00:12:14.610
they didn't even try to take the onions off.
00:12:14.649 --> 00:12:15.850
They were still on. It was like, I think there
00:12:15.850 --> 00:12:20.509
was fucking onions on there. Ew. They probably
00:12:20.509 --> 00:12:22.450
heard me say no onions and they're probably like,
00:12:22.529 --> 00:12:24.350
fuck this guy. Right? So I bit into it and I
00:12:24.350 --> 00:12:26.289
literally just fucking yacked. Like I leaned
00:12:26.289 --> 00:12:28.529
out the fucking door and fucking yacked. JJ was
00:12:28.529 --> 00:12:31.990
so fucking pissed. JJ said, Jake, get back in
00:12:31.990 --> 00:12:34.070
the fucking car. She got behind the wheel and
00:12:34.070 --> 00:12:36.490
drove back to the fucking Whataburger. And they're
00:12:36.490 --> 00:12:39.090
open like 24 -7. She walked in there and she
00:12:39.090 --> 00:12:40.990
fucking threw it at him. She's like, what part
00:12:40.990 --> 00:12:43.090
of fucking no onions did she fucking lit them
00:12:43.090 --> 00:12:45.090
up? If JJ had gone any further with it, they
00:12:45.090 --> 00:12:46.309
probably would have called the cops on us. I
00:12:46.309 --> 00:12:48.169
mean, they gave me another burger and it didn't
00:12:48.169 --> 00:12:49.570
have onions on it, but it probably had fucking
00:12:49.570 --> 00:12:52.009
spit and fucking pubes. Accidentally hit the
00:12:52.009 --> 00:12:54.269
floor a couple times before it made it onto the
00:12:54.269 --> 00:12:56.750
bun. Yeah, when we get JJ back, I want to ask
00:12:56.750 --> 00:12:58.049
her if she remembers that. But yeah, she was
00:12:58.049 --> 00:13:01.159
hot. Ireland got a... taco bell wait they haven't
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.740
had one no they never had taco bell in ireland
00:13:03.740 --> 00:13:06.500
and they are finally getting taco bell over there
00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:09.779
and there are a lot of people both civilian and
00:13:09.779 --> 00:13:12.100
people that work for like the cities that are
00:13:12.100 --> 00:13:15.019
like i don't think our old sewage system infrastructure
00:13:15.019 --> 00:13:20.320
truly is going to be able to handle what is the
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.519
quote was uh and it said expert which makes me
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.110
think expert is like Joe Schmo on the street
00:13:26.110 --> 00:13:28.409
was saying. He's like, you think our old sewage
00:13:28.409 --> 00:13:31.509
pipes can take the addition of Taco Bell outlets,
00:13:31.629 --> 00:13:34.370
dozens of these diarrhea cannons constantly firing
00:13:34.370 --> 00:13:37.549
off? Lunacy. Okay. Wow. That was the quote I
00:13:37.549 --> 00:13:39.350
got. I was like, you know, they've never had
00:13:39.350 --> 00:13:41.149
a Taco Bell. So they're like, they don't think
00:13:41.149 --> 00:13:45.090
they can handle it. I'm just trying to figure
00:13:45.090 --> 00:13:47.409
out what a Burrito Supreme is going to taste
00:13:47.409 --> 00:13:50.049
like after about four or five Guinnesses. Don't
00:13:50.049 --> 00:13:50.909
tell me. Probably delightful. Because I got a
00:13:50.909 --> 00:13:52.330
Taco Bell within walking distance from where
00:13:52.330 --> 00:13:54.990
I live. I know. I've got one like within a mile
00:13:54.990 --> 00:13:57.009
and a half of my house. And my wife's a big fucking
00:13:57.009 --> 00:13:59.070
fan of Guinness. So we'll go over there. We'll
00:13:59.070 --> 00:14:00.610
test that theory. Well, at least he didn't say
00:14:00.610 --> 00:14:05.149
bruh. You did say bro. Bruh. Bruh. Bruh. So that
00:14:05.149 --> 00:14:07.490
being said, I say we road trip. We get us a flight
00:14:07.490 --> 00:14:10.629
together and we go eat Taco Bell. I need to try
00:14:10.629 --> 00:14:14.029
the Ireland Taco Bell. Irish tacos. There's a
00:14:14.029 --> 00:14:15.970
song in there somewhere, Jake. There has to be.
00:14:16.009 --> 00:14:18.570
I will say in France, just like you heard in
00:14:18.570 --> 00:14:20.610
the movie Pulp Fiction, where John Travolta is
00:14:20.610 --> 00:14:22.110
talking about you can get a beer at a Burger
00:14:22.110 --> 00:14:24.029
King. Yes, that is true. Pulp Fiction, baby.
00:14:24.210 --> 00:14:26.470
The drinking age is much younger, too. I went
00:14:26.470 --> 00:14:28.929
to a Burger King in Dubai, which is a magnificent
00:14:28.929 --> 00:14:31.330
city. Oh, my God. Oh, yes, it is. And this Burger
00:14:31.330 --> 00:14:33.450
King was inside of a mall, and this mall was
00:14:33.450 --> 00:14:35.929
like three times the size of the Mall of America.
00:14:36.029 --> 00:14:38.190
It was just amazing. I went in there, and it
00:14:38.190 --> 00:14:40.470
had been a couple months since I had had a Whopper.
00:14:40.549 --> 00:14:42.070
So I went in there, and I'm like, I just want
00:14:42.070 --> 00:14:44.340
to. Double Whopper with cheese, no onions. I
00:14:44.340 --> 00:14:46.259
got that Whopper and it was the best fucking
00:14:46.259 --> 00:14:48.340
Whopper I ever had in my fucking life. And they
00:14:48.340 --> 00:14:50.259
didn't put any onions on it and it tasted good.
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:51.940
It tasted like a Whopper from the States. It
00:14:51.940 --> 00:14:53.700
didn't taste any fucking different. The reason
00:14:53.700 --> 00:14:56.240
I like Burger King here is because it's beef,
00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.120
never frozen, blah, blah, blah. A couple of years
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:03.019
ago, I used to be not political, but anti against
00:15:03.019 --> 00:15:05.820
a certain party or a certain someone. And I used
00:15:05.820 --> 00:15:07.600
to get really stressed out about that shit because
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.240
I was allowing something to affect me that...
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:14.039
I had no control of anything that I would say
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:16.120
or any argument that I would have with anybody.
00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:18.360
It was just a waste of my time and breath and
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:20.700
energy to the point where I actually just had
00:15:20.700 --> 00:15:23.279
to let it go. And I literally just stopped watching
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:25.759
the news. There is such a thing called fake news.
00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:28.259
However, your interpretation of that could be
00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:30.960
different from mine. Now, who's to say? What
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.960
one person reports as news, another person will
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:35.779
take that and interpret it. And because they've
00:15:35.779 --> 00:15:37.340
heard three other different versions of it, they're
00:15:37.340 --> 00:15:39.039
going to turn that into their truth. And then
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:40.720
they're going to stand on that mountain and die
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.320
on it. So here's where I have a problem with
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.779
this. How do you unblur that line? If something
00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:49.320
newsworthy happens, even if there's video of
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:50.639
it, now you can say, oh, well, that's just a
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:55.039
deep AI fake. So how do you know now if something
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:57.629
is presented to you? as news or something is
00:15:57.629 --> 00:16:00.789
presented to you as fact and have citations behind
00:16:00.789 --> 00:16:02.669
it or have things behind it that could potentially
00:16:02.669 --> 00:16:05.669
prove the validity of it. But yet all it takes
00:16:05.669 --> 00:16:08.330
is one fucking keyboard warrior to say, that's
00:16:08.330 --> 00:16:10.169
fake news. Well, just because I said it's fake
00:16:10.169 --> 00:16:13.149
news, that makes it fake news. I mean, what kind
00:16:13.149 --> 00:16:15.669
of reality are we living in now to where we don't
00:16:15.669 --> 00:16:17.730
know what's fake and what's not anymore? Who
00:16:17.730 --> 00:16:21.029
makes that or who is or what is going to draw
00:16:21.029 --> 00:16:23.250
that hard line that says, okay, this is fucking
00:16:23.250 --> 00:16:25.250
fact right here. There's no disputing this. This
00:16:25.250 --> 00:16:27.149
is what happened. You can't even do that these
00:16:27.149 --> 00:16:29.289
days. Here's the fun part right here, Jake, and
00:16:29.289 --> 00:16:31.129
the way I started looking at it, because you
00:16:31.129 --> 00:16:33.190
and I have been friends for a lot of years, and
00:16:33.190 --> 00:16:35.710
we went through that together at polar opposites
00:16:35.710 --> 00:16:39.490
of the political spectrum that we just disagreed.
00:16:39.769 --> 00:16:42.909
And the news stopped being the news, folks, in
00:16:42.909 --> 00:16:46.409
my opinion, and I'm old, when Walter Cronkite
00:16:46.409 --> 00:16:48.669
died or when he retired, right? That was the
00:16:48.669 --> 00:16:52.669
news. At the end of the day, folks reported what
00:16:52.669 --> 00:16:55.190
happened. Here's what happened. People like to
00:16:55.190 --> 00:16:57.529
make up things and call them facts a lot of times.
00:16:57.690 --> 00:16:59.470
It's one of the things that I see on a daily
00:16:59.470 --> 00:17:03.679
basis. The people who know the least. shit talk
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:05.799
the most everything's entertainment television
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:09.440
the things on tiktok youtube all these different
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:11.519
things i go down rabbit holes like everybody
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:14.579
else and i try to learn things about the things
00:17:14.579 --> 00:17:17.019
that affect me and you pick and choose some of
00:17:17.019 --> 00:17:20.039
those things and then you find ways to you find
00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:22.460
the facts in there somehow how do you do that
00:17:22.460 --> 00:17:24.759
like i know what does and does not spike my blood
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.799
sugar I don't give a shit what you say or the
00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:29.539
scientists or anything else. This is what works
00:17:29.539 --> 00:17:32.440
for Don, right? That becomes my fact. You can
00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:34.519
have people get real hardcore. And I know that
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:36.660
we've been through this together before and even
00:17:36.660 --> 00:17:38.740
in opposition, but remain friends because we're
00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:41.079
smarter than the average bear, I think. Is people
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:43.140
will say, you can say, listen, the sky is blue.
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:45.839
Well, we can agree to disagree. No, no, we really
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.579
can't. Okay. We're not going to agree to disagree.
00:17:48.700 --> 00:17:50.819
It is fucking blue and you are wrong. There are
00:17:50.819 --> 00:17:53.359
those. Now what blue it is, that's your truth.
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.170
But the fact that it's blue. is blue it's blue
00:17:56.170 --> 00:17:58.470
it's blue just like this badass wall behind me
00:17:58.470 --> 00:18:01.829
is yellow well it's gold okay fair fair enough
00:18:01.829 --> 00:18:04.369
man to you your truth is that it's gold in any
00:18:04.369 --> 00:18:07.420
case i stopped worrying about that My job is
00:18:07.420 --> 00:18:10.359
to do the very best I can with what I have. So
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.640
I stopped worrying about things. Consequently,
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.339
my anxiety went down. My blood pressure went
00:18:15.339 --> 00:18:17.000
down. All these different things. You know, we're
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.660
all in this together. And it doesn't matter what
00:18:18.660 --> 00:18:20.279
we like to title ourselves or call ourselves.
00:18:20.740 --> 00:18:22.460
Everybody's got an opinion. And the beauty part,
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:25.180
where this all ties together, is that you and
00:18:25.180 --> 00:18:27.039
I, the three of us are veterans. And sometimes
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:28.180
we can look at each other and go, well, that
00:18:28.180 --> 00:18:31.140
was stupid. But that's my opinion. And it in
00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:33.059
no way reflects fact. Well, it's the same with
00:18:33.059 --> 00:18:35.140
the fucking news. I have always been of the opinion.
00:18:35.589 --> 00:18:38.630
which does not make it fact that as a professional
00:18:38.630 --> 00:18:41.549
news agency, if that's what you want to call
00:18:41.549 --> 00:18:44.250
yourself, there should be some liability for
00:18:44.250 --> 00:18:47.849
falsifying information to up the entertainment
00:18:47.849 --> 00:18:50.569
value and to gather more viewers. But like anything
00:18:50.569 --> 00:18:53.269
else, there are a lot of very smart people out
00:18:53.269 --> 00:18:55.849
there all over the world who will find a loophole
00:18:55.849 --> 00:18:57.970
in the law. And that's why laws are written with
00:18:57.970 --> 00:19:00.569
all these. And you can't do this, this, this,
00:19:00.710 --> 00:19:01.849
this, this, this. And you're like, well, that's
00:19:01.849 --> 00:19:04.200
common sense. No, sir. It's not, you have to
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:06.140
explain it because then the next thing will happen.
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:08.400
I was like, well, it wasn't written down. I never,
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:10.299
I didn't read that anywhere. That's my spiel
00:19:10.299 --> 00:19:12.720
on that. And it sucks, but it is what it is.
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:14.279
So I just kind of laugh it off these days. Somebody
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:15.420
told me this and it might've been, I thought
00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:18.000
it was you, Jake, unless you give a fuck, the
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:19.720
happier you're going to be. That probably was
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:21.859
me. It sounds like something I would say. So
00:19:21.859 --> 00:19:24.980
my all time favorite movie is a Western tombstone.
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.460
Yes, it is. Classic Western. Val Kilmer, rest
00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:30.799
in peace, did the best Doc Holliday that has
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.299
ever been captured on film. And he has a catchphrase
00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:37.119
in that movie that he says twice. He says, I'm
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:39.880
your Huckleberry. Not once has any version of
00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:42.259
that film ever come out where he says, I'll be
00:19:42.259 --> 00:19:44.990
your Huckleberry. but yet people will still quote
00:19:44.990 --> 00:19:47.890
that movie and say, oh, Doc Holliday in Tombstone,
00:19:47.930 --> 00:19:49.910
I'll be your huckleberry. Motherfucker, it's
00:19:49.910 --> 00:19:52.690
I'm your huckleberry, okay? Are you sure this
00:19:52.690 --> 00:19:54.549
isn't the Mandela Effect? No, I've seen that
00:19:54.549 --> 00:19:57.069
movie enough fucking times, I know. Say it right,
00:19:57.170 --> 00:19:59.650
bitch. Here's a fun thing, too, and Jake, I know
00:19:59.650 --> 00:20:01.819
you've used that term for years, in fact. Your
00:20:01.819 --> 00:20:04.640
studio, your business is named I'm Your Huckleberry
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.019
Studios. For those of you who don't know, that's
00:20:07.019 --> 00:20:09.940
what we're recording. Val Kilmer said, I'm your
00:20:09.940 --> 00:20:12.519
Huckleberry in the movie. He admitted that during
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:16.420
an interview. But the true way that that should
00:20:16.420 --> 00:20:19.279
have been stated is I'm your Hucklebearer, which
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:22.660
are the folks we would call pallbearers, right?
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.950
But he decided to say Huckleberry. On purpose.
00:20:26.009 --> 00:20:29.049
And clearly it stuck. But yeah, I'm your huckleberry.
00:20:29.329 --> 00:20:31.990
Regardless, huckleberry, huckleberry. He never
00:20:31.990 --> 00:20:34.650
said, I'll be your. He said, I'm your.
