[00:00:00:03 - 00:00:31:23]
I do this thing when I get upset where like I would say for a really long time, like, I'm going to Abraham Lincoln this because he like notoriously like when he would be pissed at somebody, he'd write them a letter, put it in his desk, leave it, walk away, come on. Right. Right. That's like a. It's like writing a tweet, but posting it. Yes. Yeah. My best friend Rachel one day, she looked at me when I said that and she said, Abraham Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln. And I was like, yeah, what are you? So she's been to the same websites I go to. You know, so that's fine.

[00:00:36:04 - 00:00:36:18]
Yes.

[00:00:38:16 - 00:01:06:22]
All right. Welcome back, everybody. What do you mean, Savannah? It's time for the Woody and Jim podcast. Savannah's here and we're off the leash. Gorgeous. And it's also Savannah's birthday celebration. I know it's not your birthday today. It will be when this is out, though. Yeah, it's true. That's true. On drop date. Yes.

[00:01:08:16 - 00:01:56:23]
On the day of this recording, that is not your birthday. Yeah, we're hours away from my birthday. Yes. So I got to ask, first up, are you going on the haunted house tour? That was what you talked about last time. Yeah. So I was supposed to go and do that last Friday and I didn't. We didn't go. We canceled the whole thing. It was I just listen, Dolly died and it was fresh and I was very upset. And then, like, I was talked into going by you guys and my friends were like, we could do it. And then, like, all of my friends got sick at the same time. And I was like, I think this is just like an omen. It's not meant to be. Even though didn't you already prepay for the tickets? Yeah. Yeah. So it's like a bummer in that way. And then I felt sorry for myself for a pretty decent amount of time.

[00:01:58:05 - 00:02:58:14]
We talked you into it and then you got denied. It's like, man, if I had just like felt like I had the power and just like canceled it outright, that would have been one thing. But then it was like to get talked back into it. And then all of these circumstances outside of my control is just like, wow, this whole thing really just fell apart. Made me feel really dumb and really like, I don't know. So the universe says, no, you're not doing this. Yeah, I guess it'll be next year, perhaps. But, you know, I want to go into it with like the excitement that I initially felt when we planned it about like filming a vlog and all dressing up as pop stars and stuff. And so I honestly, I really do feel that like with the loss of Dolly, I just was not mentally in the place to have as much fun with it. Yeah. So perhaps next year. OK. I have grill marks on my hand and arm. The pizza just kept going. Eventually, the pizza went back to the rack and then fell through through the bottom rack. It looked like a clock at a Salvador Dali baby.

[00:03:00:21 - 00:03:39:14]
It's stir frying on the bottom. And there was, I mean, oven racks and. Yeah, we got matching scars on both arms. So that's nice. Yeah, I didn't I didn't cry. And it actually didn't hurt as much as it looks like it hurt. It does look painful. But you were throwing bows out of the bar. Yeah, right. Yeah. But it was freaking like I wish I could have been there to point and laugh at me. Yes. As the pizza is falling, I've got this big giant, you know, wooden board. And I'm like, ah, did you clean it properly? Are you using antibiotic? My arm or the oven?

[00:03:41:26 - 00:03:42:12]
Your arm.

[00:03:43:14 - 00:03:58:21]
No, I took better care of the oven. Oh, of course. Very like a band. Jen's going to be pissed off at this oven full of. Yeah, so we had to run that thing where you run the oven all night. And this, I don't know, I just put soap on it. What he says, you look like a hot dog. I think you kind of look like bread.

[00:04:00:02 - 00:04:16:26]
Oh, yeah, you know, it's kind of like a baguette. It's kind of like Aladdin bread. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I also kind of think kind of like a Zorro. Yeah, you know, I got into it. You could tell people you're in a certified. Yeah, yeah. It was it was a horrible fencing accident. Mm hmm.

[00:04:18:09 - 00:04:20:12]
Well, that sucks. Yeah, that was my.

[00:04:21:17 - 00:05:25:10]
I think it would have been hilarious if you guys were there to see it because I think I look pretty stupid. We would have laughed for sure. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And not have laughed, but laughed with love. Woody, did you almost maim yourself this week with? I had an issue this afternoon with Taco Bell. What is that? Apparently, they're doing this whole thing where they do decades or celebration and they're saying like today only at the day of this recording. They were offering a crunchy beef burrito. Yeah. And a medium drink for 99 cents going back to like 1980 prices. So I texted my girlfriend who was about to get off work. I said, well, I got to go do the podcast tonight. Would you like me to go get this and have a great deal? We'll have this to eat. And so she says, yeah. So I go over there and I'm on the speaker there at Taco Bell. And she comes on and goes, well, you know what? Excuse me. Well, you're real. Is it in the mumble? No, I'd like the the 99 cent special on the crunchy beef burrito. And she goes, I stop. Remember about Robert and I said,

[00:05:27:02 - 00:06:00:03]
and I'm going, I can't understand you. It's just because I grabbed my pull through the window and went, OK. So I just go in there and I realize, you know, OK, I don't know if this is going to work well or not, so I give my debit card, you know, I don't pay through the window. And I realized, no, I didn't get the special. I didn't even get what I ordered. And I was about to tell them, you know, there's something wrong with the speaker out there, I really can't understand it. But she came to the window and that was actually the way she sounded. It wasn't the speaker. She's going like, she's just a super mumble.

[00:06:01:22 - 00:07:17:00]
They really shouldn't have you on a public speaker somewhere. And you go through some of the drivers now where they start with. Yeah, I guess it's like, yeah, we're using the mobile app today. Yeah. And then if you say no, then a real person comes on and mumbles at you. Right. But yeah, they take it away from like, all right. Yeah, not the forward facing person of your restaurant. Yeah, the face of your organization. Do you think it was just like apathy on their part? Yes. Like they just were just kind of like, I don't get paid enough to like, you know what I mean? I said to myself, I'm looking for a job. I could do this and speak clearly. Hello. Now I interest you in a taco of something. Also, have you seen because of the way that a lot of these fast food joints are using AI to like answer their speaker? There's this new trend where people to fuck with the robots and see how long it takes for a human to come to the room. Like they roll up and they're like, I would like 10,000 waters. Yeah, that's a good one. 10,000 waters. Yeah. I am I am all for trolling them. Yes. Yeah. I think it's pretty great. But also I'd like to, you know, pay it forward. So I'll hold her to 10,000 waters and hopefully the car in front of me will pay for it.

[00:07:18:05 - 00:07:30:00]
Yeah. So we have just been tortured because we've been sending text threads around about Luke Bryan's new song. Slam goes the door.

[00:07:31:25 - 00:08:08:24]
Flying goes the dust. I believe it's called Down Goes the Whiskey. Yeah, I don't even know the actual. I'm trying to look at what the name of it was because everybody's making fun of it. It's all over TikTok. And it's just a song that people are going like, this is just the door. It's it's like this little lyrical device, you know, but it's like Mu goes the cow. Yeah. And it's like so dumb. But the comments have been hilarious. I believe Fart Goes the Butt is the one that is my favorite. It's the number one. And yeah, I'm saying it's like a C and say that you had when you saw the wheel. It was like, Mu goes the cow.

[00:08:10:19 - 00:08:12:06]
Fart goes the dog.

[00:08:14:00 - 00:08:31:01]
Down goes the volume. That's right. The lady on gets turned off. See, here's the thing. Luke Bryan is notoriously a very kind man. And so I in some sense feel really bad to see how hard he's getting roasted about this shit.

[00:08:32:23 - 00:09:47:08]
And then also like as a second layer, I worked with National Songwriters Association for a couple of years. And so I was terrified when the song started to get roasted that I knew the songwriters who wrote this shit. I was like, oh, no, like one of these some of the homies that are like, it was actually a songwriter. There were multiple songwriters. And just there were there were three, I believe. And none of them are friends of mine. I still feel for them because I love songwriters so much. And so this is on Down Goes the Whiskey. Yeah, there's a song. So it's not chat TPT. It's allegedly no. Unless they used it. Unless they did. And I don't know what happened in that writers room. But yeah, I mean, I don't know. I think on a like larger scale, right? Like this song is very goofy and it's definitely I will say it's like an earworm. And I think that's one of the things about TikTok is that like it gets shit stuck in your head, whether it's a song or something. Yeah. Oh yeah. Like that's the power. And once you click on something and like it, then that's your algorithm. It's right in your face over and over and over. It's the background music on everything. Right. Wheels on the bus Go round and round Don't let the pigeon drive the bus into town Like, you know, the whole conversation around how it's like one of those little child's toys that teaches you stuff.

[00:09:48:21 - 00:10:03:16]
Most hit songs are written at a third grade level or lower. Yeah. And like kind of the rule in songwriting is like most of the time, if you want to have like a radio hit or nowadays like a viral TikTok hit,

[00:10:04:28 - 00:10:42:14]
you know, you're kind of encouraged to like, this has literally been said before by like professionals, like write for the people of Walmart. Like that's who this is for. Yeah. Dumb and down. I would say this is like kind of an extreme example of that. Right. But I think like peppered with all of the things about modern country music that feel like played out. It's like I'm trying not to be mean, but it's kind of like, OK, how many fucking songs can we write about whiskey? I was trying to look up the song. Luke, Brian, I put it Luke, Brian, whiskey and like seven songs came out. They're all like, this goes. Only seven. Only seven.

[00:10:44:24 - 00:10:57:26]
Yeah. Well, because he had that one that's like rain makes corn. Corn makes whiskey. You know what I mean? Like he's been doing this shit for a long time. Yeah. I mean, they're like an old. Like John onyx book.

[00:10:59:28 - 00:11:07:00]
Yeah, but it is really catchy. You know, I've had a really good laugh. I saw a video about like if Luke Brian was your sleep paralysis demon.

[00:11:08:09 - 00:11:14:27]
I'm settling music and he's just singing, you know, part goes the butt or whatever. And you can't do anything about it. You have to listen. Yeah.

[00:11:17:08 - 00:11:45:25]
Wait, there's like a really good opportunity for a joke here. You guys. Oh, yes. You know, you could be like sponsored by your mom. But you're your mom. I mean, but like it's true. Her mom. Yeah. Now you're not allowed to be in this commercial. I cannot be in this now. I have to recuse myself from the whole thing. Why? Because there is a rule that like no F bombs are allowed. Did your mom, Judy, Sandy, Stella,

[00:11:47:17 - 00:12:17:13]
say you couldn't be in it or are you just taking yourself out of it? I'm taking myself out. Oh, OK. So this is OK. You know, you're you're you're volunteering is tribute to not I'm going to bow out of this gracefully, but I can say that helpful. She works so hard. She does. I will be so helpful. All right. Savannah's mom, she wrote a script. I don't know who wrote it. Yes. So we should honor the script. I don't know. Be beholden. All right. All right. OK, hey, Jim,

[00:12:18:16 - 00:12:22:16]
have you heard that there are five D's to make you need a realtor?

[00:12:23:20 - 00:12:43:13]
Let me guess. Among those D's be debt, drama and deeply questionable life decisions. You know, warm, but no, there's diamonds, diapers, divorce, downsizing and death.

[00:12:45:13 - 00:12:51:03]
Sometimes those were the last two go together. Yeah, you're downsizing if you're dead. Yes.

[00:12:53:02 - 00:13:17:06]
So basically the five horsemen of why is my life like this? Yes, exactly. You get engaged. Well, congratulations. You need more space. You have a baby. Congratulations. You have less sleep and somehow less space. You get divorced. Congratulations. And now you need two of everything, including emotional support. Downsizing.

[00:13:19:29 - 00:13:20:18]
That's when you.

[00:13:24:18 - 00:13:35:28]
That's when you what? That's when you finally admit that your guest room is just a storage unit with a bed, pretend to be to.

[00:13:37:15 - 00:13:45:27]
A bed pretending to have purpose. That's what I meant. It's a bed with existential. Yes. What am I?

[00:13:47:06 - 00:13:57:14]
And what about death? Well, we're not joking about that one. OK, so when that is dead, you guys still. You said you were going to be part of this.

[00:14:00:23 - 00:14:08:06]
I'm just saying the dead dad's club is like the inception of her whole career. Yeah, kind of to be real. Yeah, yes. Right. Yeah.

[00:14:09:09 - 00:14:39:09]
So when life hits all the D's, well, that's when you need to call Judy Knapp, which doesn't real estate, Middle Tennessee's real estate expert professional problem solver and part time therapist for houses and the humans inside them. She handles transitions with precision heart and hump. No. And humor, humor and humor. Sorry, I misread that. And probably a strong coffee and silent prayer.

[00:14:41:13 - 00:15:37:16]
Sounds like she deserves a medal. Or at least a very large commission check. Wink, wink. Savannah, what is her number? I got this. You guys had six one five two nine four four six eight zero. And she can text and you can call her. You can text and call her. I encourage you to do that. She's fun to talk to. Now say the numbers again slowly. Oh, and in a seductive tone. You know what? For my mom. It's my mom. She didn't resent that so much. Your mom. Yeah, my mom. Six one five two nine four four six eight zero. Remember that Judy Knapp, Savannah's mom has got it going on. Yes, Judy. Dot your T.N. Homefinders dot com. Thank you, Judy. Judy.

[00:15:39:05 - 00:15:50:01]
Dot your T.N. Homefinders dot com. Just list just sold. Just call Judy. Judy Knapp with Dutton Real Estate. Way to go. Jigi, Jigi, Jigi.

[00:15:53:06 - 00:15:58:25]
Will this get approved? I don't know. We'll see. Oh, wait. Oh, shit.

[00:16:00:02 - 00:16:00:25]
It's not supposed to be.

[00:16:02:18 - 00:16:16:24]
And this is goes for a lot more than just country. Yeah. Country is just larping. Your live action roleplay. Ninety nine out of 100 people who take on the lifestyle and the look.

[00:16:18:07 - 00:16:58:25]
Have nothing to do with any of the things that they are pretending to be. They just simply chosen a character. They are no different than somebody who dresses up for the Renaissance Festival once a year. You're just doing it every weekend. Yeah. Cowboy larping. Yeah. I mean, it also it extends to the to the trucks. Oh, yeah. I mean, how many, you know, pavement princess trucks are there? I spent one hundred and twenty thousand dollars for this truck that can go anywhere, but it's going nowhere except Chichapole. That's right. I have a pickup, but I don't ever pick anything up. Yeah, I don't want to get it dirty.

[00:17:00:17 - 00:17:12:24]
So, yeah, I mean, and there's like a million examples of that. Yeah. But it's funny. Just like all of a sudden. OK, I just want to if you just took that as just random stuff, like I'm going to dress up like Abraham Lincoln.

[00:17:14:08 - 00:17:18:17]
Most I'm not going to go fully Abraham Lincoln, except for when we're going out.

[00:17:20:10 - 00:17:22:04]
Except when I'm feeling good.

[00:17:23:29 - 00:17:27:00]
I just got triggered into something that is so terrible

[00:17:28:15 - 00:17:42:13]
that I don't even know how I'm going to tell you guys what I'm thinking about. But I have to. OK, because the name Abraham Lincoln has been fucking ruined for me for the rest of my life. How is that?

[00:17:44:04 - 00:18:09:09]
Is it in those sexual things? OK, you guys are already picking up what I'm putting down. Yeah, there's the rusty trombone and there's the Abraham Lincoln. What the rusty trombone? And you don't want to. The Cleveland Steamer. Listen, listen, listen. Who knows all of them? It is like the Wikipedia of things that we see you out. OK, listen, I've only talked about this once before.

[00:18:10:16 - 00:18:25:12]
And I just need to say to anyone who's listening right now, if there are sensitive ears around, this is not the time to let the shit play. Like just come back to this later when you're alone. Parental guidance suggested. Yeah, this is maybe one of the craziest things I've ever said.

[00:18:26:13 - 00:18:31:01]
So. Abraham Lincoln is like a euphemism.

[00:18:33:19 - 00:18:36:04]
That leaves me breathless.

[00:18:37:21 - 00:19:27:17]
Breathless in a good way. Oh, my God. No, like I'm just so I can't even believe this is real. So before I tell you what it means, I'll tell you that I found out what it means because I do this thing when I get upset where like I would say for a really long time, like I'm going to Abraham Lincoln this because he like notoriously like when he would be pissed at somebody, he'd write them a letter, put it in his desk, leave it, walk away. Come right. Yeah, right. That's like it's like writing a tweet, but posting it. Yes, he thought it. Yeah. And yeah. Yeah. Well, so I for a very long time would be like, oh, I'm going to Abraham Lincoln that like I'm going to Abraham Lincoln this. I don't even know what it means. And this is hilarious. Well, so my my best friend Rachel one day, she looked at me when I said that. And she said, Abraham Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln. And you know, I was like, yeah, what are you? So she's been to the same websites I go to.

[00:19:28:27 - 00:19:38:19]
Well, she said to me at that moment, she was like, well, Abraham Lincoln is like a sexual thing, isn't it? And I was like, what the fuck are you talking about? And I explained to her what I just told you.

[00:19:41:07 - 00:20:15:01]
I'm going to bring up the exact definition. All right. Does it have something to do with his hat? No, it has something to do with the beer. I promise you that whatever you think it is, is not. I think I think I have an idea what it is. OK, and again, I would like to pre apologize to anyone who is not trying to hear something this crazy. This is something that might happen between consent consenting adults in their spare leisure time. Yes. Are you pretending to not know? Do you? I have an idea what I think it is, but but we'll see.

[00:20:16:21 - 00:20:27:29]
OK, so I'll be Ken Jennings on Jeopardy. Oh, I knew that. OK, so we'll find out what Abraham Lincoln is after the cool is.

[00:20:29:08 - 00:21:03:03]
This was put into the world, like solidified as what it's defined as in November of 2004. OK, OK. All right. This is been a long time. Yeah, it's been a couple of decades. So to Abraham Lincoln, someone is to shave your pubes and hold them in your hand and then you get your partner to give you a blowjob. And then when you finish on their face, you throw the trimmed pubes onto your semen soaked partner's face and then they will be left with a striking resemblance to Abraham Lincoln.

[00:21:04:10 - 00:21:15:27]
And now. You would think that's enough, but it's not. Oh, OK. I didn't know there was a second. And then it gets weird. It was weird. It was followed up a year later.

[00:21:17:00 - 00:22:03:11]
A previous entry had only half the definition that Abraham Lincoln is a two part sex act. First, your partner gives you a B.J. And then you pull out, you finish on their face, pull out pubic hairs, whatever the name after you recouped, you bend them over and pound them doggy style. And right before you finish, you say it's a beautiful day at the theater. Oh, no. And then I love me a John Wilkes Booth reference. Well, it's not over. OK, all right. And then you are supposed to pull out and then shoot your load on the back of your girlfriend. Oh, OK. Wow. So complete the metaphor. Yes. So this is something you have to do with maybe a 20 minute break in between.

[00:22:04:13 - 00:22:13:05]
I just would like to say on behalf of myself that an Abraham Lincolner that you are. Yes.

[00:22:14:26 - 00:22:55:21]
In the letter writing sense, it's a layered thing. Like, number one, I can't believe that's a thing that exists to the point that it's on the Internet and has been voted the top definition of what that thing is. That's number one. Number two, I feel sad for myself because that president and that term existed for me in this like innocent, like reverent, respectful way that was like encouraging my own like highest self to interact with the world. And then my best friend, bless her, just brought it all crashing down. Like the legacy of this man exists as that. There's in my brain, throw your pubic hairs at the great emancipator.

[00:22:57:18 - 00:24:21:25]
There's a dividing line in your life. There's the time pre Abraham Lincoln in definition. Yeah. And post. Yeah. And you can't go back. I can't. I'm not the same anymore. Yeah. So I don't even know. Like, here's the thing. I just blacked out. Whatever made you say his name. What was it five minutes ago? I couldn't even tell you what it is because it was like I started seeing. You were talking about somebody cosplaying as Abraham Lincoln. OK. Like instead of dressing up, you know, country dressing up as Abraham Lincoln. Savannah to the semen pubic hair. All of a sudden, like my hearing started to be like it was like I was at the bottom of a swimming pool and my eyes started to glaze. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I know the feeling. Don't let children listen to this at all. Ever too late. Too late. It's out there. Speaking of which, I I saw a movie in the last few days, which is it's totally demented. I love it, buddy. OK, I was I was really going to I was hoping that you had seen this because I was going to ask you if I should see it. Now you said this is the same person who did the too many cooks, you know, 15 minute video. Yeah. If you look up too many cooks, it's a really silly skit. It was an adult swim. It's just demented and it's nuts. And he did make this movie, which is it takes place inside the world of like a Barney the dinosaur type show.

[00:24:22:28 - 00:24:47:27]
Nobody really knows. It's not like they're actors in a studio. They live in this world. And Buddy, the unicorn is orange furry, you know, thing with the. Mm hmm. He's really nice. And they sing songs about getting along and, you know, playing and cooperating until one kid doesn't go along with the plan.

[00:24:49:05 - 00:25:01:13]
And then it becomes a horror movie. And then he has to be punished. And it's I I loved it, but you got to be demented. OK, you absolutely have to be. And there's people. The reason I brought that up is

[00:25:02:18 - 00:26:32:11]
people playing this podcast for young people who shouldn't hear it. Yeah. Are exactly the people who would love this movie. Took their families to Buddy. So they thought it was an actual Barney type movie. Their total absentee parents paid no attention. Saw that there was a furry, you know, Barney type. I love Big Wolf for the kids. It's a family movie. So they got, you know, kids in there. And, you know, this eventually, Buddy's running around with a bloody axe. Yes. Hold the kid still. I'm good. Abraham Lincoln. And let me take it too far. There's Buddy, too. Buddy, too. I will Abraham Lincoln. I will say that I was made aware of this movie a few days ago. And it seems very intriguing to me. I love movies. I think it was like an independent film, right? Yeah, it's a smaller. Yeah. I wanted to see it. As a parent myself, I'm like, can I stomach seeing kids stressed out running for their lives, even in this like ridiculous fake scenario? Like, I don't know if I can. I totally get it. I think it's it's it's always the tone. Right. Right. Right. If you really feel kids are in peril or if you think there's a dog in peril, you're going to like, no, like, yeah, I never got that. OK. And I get that a lot because I'm a parent forever a parent. Yes. But I think you'd be fine with it. It's not terribly gory either. I also, OK, I also thought it was going to be

[00:26:33:14 - 00:30:03:06]
was it Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Once once the, you know, copyright came off of the Winnie the Pooh franchise. Somebody makes a horror movie and it was just like a slasher movie. And Piglet is looking for revenge. Yeah. It's like supposed to be super gory. Just like really gross. This is not OK. It's just twisted funny. OK, there was one line that I saw delivered that I thought I might see this movie despite my fears based on the delivery of this one line. That's like I don't know if you'll remember it or not. But like at some point, this kid is like arguing with the dinosaur buddy or whatever. He's like, no, you killed the nurse. And the dinosaur looks at me like, Wade, that's a lie. And you know it. And like the way he said it was so I'll take him to the nurse. You weren't the nurse, buddy. Wade, you know, that's a lie. And lying is very bad. You'll find the comments on any video about this movie. Wade, that is a lie. Is the thing that most people are saying. So delivered it will just scratch something in my brain. That was so funny to me. Yeah. OK, I think I'm going to see it now. You can then see. OK, so this is actually showing in regular. It's in theaters. Yes. OK. Keegan, Michael Key is the voice of Buddy. Oh, OK. I like it. I like it. Yeah, it's just. I'm going to tell you, it's really well acted. Really? Yeah. I mean, like most of the cast is kids. Yeah, they're mostly kids. There's one adult that has a bigger role. And I think Kristen Milialdi is the actress. And she was really good. Yeah. So I just it's demented and fantastic. And I'm sold. If you just popped this on the TV, you'd say, oh, this is a show like Barney that I must have missed when I was a kid. Yeah, because they it is so perfect. Like they nailed it. It looks like the camera work like looked very much in line with what was on TV in the 90s. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. That's cool. Yeah, it becomes bizarre. Yeah. So I'd like that way too much. This movie, it's not the best movie in the world. It just made me really happy. I think it's fun that it's like an original script. You know, I feel like a lot of what we see these days is like it's a remake. Oh, remotes and things like that. Yeah. So I get excited when there are original scripts that come out. So I'm like, we need that. Give me something different. I see a lot of movies. Yeah. So if it if it smells like the same old thing, I don't have time for it. Yeah, totally. Well, would be how's your job going? Job hunt, Jesus. It's not going great. I I've been misled by Indeed and LinkedIn. And it's it's very you can tell those people. I'm going to start actually. I've tried to go to actual physical places and say, can I put in an application and they'll say, no, we only take applications online. Online. Yeah. So it's like, OK, thank you. Yeah. And so I miss the days where you could actually go in and talk to somebody and get a job or not. Yeah. And go through layers of A.I. and everything like that. But, you know, keep keeping, you know, try to be cautiously optimistic. Yeah. Yeah. I'm doing a gender wars on Tuesday nights at Hot Shots. But we did the first time and it went well enough that they want to do it again. Awesome. So it's this coming Tuesday. Yeah. Yeah. Day after Labor Day. Eight o'clock. Excellent. So it'll be fun. So if you miss gender wars and you're still with us after the whole Abraham Lincoln thing,

[00:30:04:16 - 00:30:05:20]
bring the family out.

[00:30:08:06 - 00:32:14:06]
I feel like I warned everyone. It's kind of funny. Somebody brought up when I was out there. They said like, no, you're originally from Nashville. I said, no, no. You know, I've done radio since I was in high school and stuff like that. And so what brought you to Nashville? And I told them the story about how we got the job here. And it's a great story. The Hillary Clinton's Hillary Clinton story. We were in Albany, New York, working for a radio station. And Hillary Clinton, when Bill was still president, was dedicating a historic home. This is so she's the best of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which really, if you look back on that, I miss the simple, pure days of when when the president was only getting a blowjob from somebody who was of legal age. And that was the biggest scandal in the world. Right now, people just laugh about that and go, oh, yeah, whatever. But so she's giving a speech to dedicate this historic place. And our program director at the radio station said, OK, well, we have a we have a plane we can fly over with a message on it. So, you know, maybe get some free publicity. And people are going to be out just saying, well, welcome, first lady or whatever like that. And he says, oh, don't worry, we'll come up with something to put on the on the sign. And so we we had it is it, you know, fly 92 of the radio station we worked at and just asked the question, who's watching Bill? Since she was getting miles away. Yeah, who's watching? He hadn't admitted anything yet. Yeah. So ever the whole country was going, did he actually do that? He says he didn't. So and then we signed it as well. So it said like, you know, basically love Woody and Jim. And she didn't see it, but a lot of the people who were in her crew did. And we got it was like behind her. Yeah, we got we got in big trouble. And we actually got a lot of notoriety and publicity over that. We were on hard copy, which is a show at the time inside edition, that kind of stuff like that. And with that kind of notoriety, we were able to leave Albany, New York and come to Nashville. That's such a sweet story.

[00:32:15:28 - 00:32:22:28]
The innocent days were just a president getting a blowjob. I was wonderful. Yeah. Abraham Lincoln, someone could have.

[00:32:24:28 - 00:32:41:07]
In Abraham Lincoln's office. Oh, right. Oh, my God. The bedroom has never happened in the Lincoln bedroom or in the Lincoln reflective. I mean, that's where all the algae has come from. That's about algae. It's ectoplasm. I don't think anyways.

[00:32:42:19 - 00:32:47:04]
Follow up question. Yeah. Yes. Trying to put myself back on track here.

[00:32:48:20 - 00:32:50:05]
Did you did you?

[00:32:51:08 - 00:33:40:16]
The airplane. Uh huh. Whenever you decided your message, did you have to run it by your program director? Was he also? No, he was surprised to know he was mad. He was. He didn't get it. He didn't. Like in general, he just doesn't. He didn't get it. He right. He was the program director of the radio station, but he was mostly he was an ESPN guy. Yeah. Really understand. He was weird. Pop references. So he was about to go away on a trip out of town. So he said, I can't arrange the plane this time. So if you could sometime between today and tomorrow morning, call the guy who toes the banner behind the plane and tell him what it should say. Mm hmm. And then he leaves town. Is that the last time a professional trusted you guys?

[00:33:42:06 - 00:33:48:25]
It did remind me of the first and last time the classic line from Animal House. Right. Now you fucked up. You trusted us.

[00:33:50:28 - 00:35:01:04]
Like like, wow. OK, so that was his bad. Yeah. The fun one of my favorite stories that follows that story is a guy we worked with a few years before. He was one of the engineers who was a tech tech guy. And he ended up going to work for the Secret Service in a tech capacity. And when this whole thing plane is flying over the president's wife in Albany, New York. Mm hmm. He is in Moscow on a what do they call it? Kind of like a pre before the vice president was asked to go visit. My old one, the vice president at the time. Yeah, he's on the advanced tech crew. And he's in Moscow and he gets a call from the Secret Service in D.C. This. Did you work with the guys named Woody and Jim in Albany, New York? Oh, dear. So there's a Secret Service file. Yeah. On us. And he's like, yeah, they're.

[00:35:02:27 - 00:35:08:19]
They're assholes, but they're good guys. They're not a threat. He's in danger. You know, they're heartwarming assholes.

[00:35:10:04 - 00:35:20:15]
Assholes with a heart of gold. Yeah. But yeah. And then we you know, he actually sent us a picture of Bill and Hillary and autographed it himself and said, we're watching each other.

[00:35:22:15 - 00:38:30:17]
Wow. Yeah, it's kind of awesome. That's really sweet and very nostalgic. I don't think we could get away with anything like that these days. And honestly, I wanted to try it. And then I. Well, the thing is, I tried to like soft launch an idea like that. And then I was like, but I feel like maybe it's not a good time happening in Washington. It is way, way worse than that. Yeah. To the point where they're just going like, OK. But nobody's nobody's denying it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I did this terrible thing. Yeah. What are you going to do about it? Yeah. Yeah. Bless. But, you know, I will say that as far as like government goes and at least here locally, remember last week how we were like, there's this petition to rename the airport for Dolly. And I guess that's getting some some some steam. It's going to happen. Well, so apparently the governor. Yeah, he's into it. He said he's into it. And then I saw a Debbie Downer who explained why there might be some hurdles before it can happen. And they are too. OK. I don't like this. I know. Fuck them, right? So the first hurdle is that apparently there is a law in Tennessee that the airport can only be named for someone who like did something for the world of aviation. Really? So there's a law that would be bypassed or changed or what the fuck ever. Well, this is a only Tennessee law. Apparently so. Because I know there's airports around the country, the Ronald Reagan Airport. He wasn't a flyer. Yes, he played one in a movie. Yeah. So it's specific to Tennessee law. So that's one thing. And then the other thing is that apparently to do this renaming of the airport would cost like at least 10 million dollars in taxpayer funds, because like in addition to all the signage and stuff here locally, it's like a big process to change it around the world. Well, I'm an airport. Here's what I say about that. Change the law. OK, fuck whatever laws there. Change it. I don't think they care. We all agree about this. And also, as far as like taxpayer, like we have we have found taxpayer dollars to do all kinds of stuff that none of us agree on. I think we'd be willing to put our taxpayer dollars toward that as opposed to all the other crap. Right. Tennessee and say do it. Yeah. The last time anyone saw this lady alive like that wasn't her family, she was wearing butterfly wings. That's her fucking contribution to flight. Yeah. Yes. That counts. And you know what? She did so much for our economy and still is even in death like with all of the ways that she contributes to tourism in Tennessee and whatever. So I better not hear any fucking drama from anybody about this. Change the name. Well, we also mentioned that 925 September 25th is going to be Dolly Pardon Day. And I heard that Garth Brooks at his bar down, you know, friends in low places on Broadway, that on that day, all the money they make is going to go toward the imagination library. Yeah. I love that. That is very cool. Great idea. Brooks, a good guy. I know he is. He has some, you know, bad rep and stuff like that every once in a while. But he's got a guy. Really? Yeah, he said he said rumors. He said like the Mr. Rogers of.

[00:38:31:21 - 00:38:44:17]
But he really appreciates his fans and he loves he loves doing what he's doing. And he treats people. He does really well. He's a good guy. I actually today was with my mom and we were going to go to your mom.

[00:38:46:03 - 00:38:47:20]
What are the sponsors of this podcast?

[00:38:48:22 - 00:38:49:11]
That was not.

[00:38:50:16 - 00:40:17:06]
Yeah, until the Abraham Lincoln story, your mom sponsored this podcast. Yeah, October. Yeah, that probably is too late. We have your money. Yeah. I was with my mom earlier. We were going to try to go to the like Dolly Parton exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame. She was like really wanting to see it. And then we decided last minute to not because we figure it might be like a really hard time to go do that. Like just with sure the rush of I'm sure there's a there's a huge crowd out there. Yeah. But she decided she wanted to at least like go drive by her house in Brentwood. OK. And there is like first of all, it's a beautiful estate if you've ever driven past it. Gorgeous. But like the front gates are still just covered in flowers and butterflies and like made like drawings. Like one that really got me was like a bunch of little kids had put their handprints on it and it said thank you for the books, Miss Dolly. Oh, so you guys so sweet. I have to go home. Why did we do that? Yeah. Yeah. Did you see the pink car parade? Yeah, that was so cool. A ton of people who have pink cars all drove by in a procession. It's a little thing, but I loved it. I loved it. It was really precious. She was a Tennessee hero and a national hero. And it's going to be a long time before we ever get over it. And you know what? She was a hell of a songwriter. She was. Bart goes the butt could never for that one.

[00:40:19:26 - 00:40:26:13]
What goes my boo? Yeah, I mean, she would be the first one to write that.

[00:40:28:23 - 00:40:31:17]
Can we talk?

[00:40:32:29 - 00:42:28:29]
Speaking of country music, yeah, and earworms. I'm not late to this, but I'm late to talking about this. OK, is I am absolutely haunted by Ella Langley's Choose in Texas. Haunted? Are you? Are you an fellow? I I really like I like her a lot. I think I really I love her voice. I think the songs on this hold the dandelion album are phenomenal. At the same time, there's a little bit of me when I hear her. It sounds like she has like a little bit of a fish hook in her mouth while she's singing. And I challenge you to listen to Choose in Texas and not think about that little fish hook, the fish hook, slightly pulling one side of her mouth. Hmm. I don't think she does that thing now where she takes Abraham Lincoln. Now I will. They're all ruined. She does that little thing where she takes a tiny bottle of vodka and drinks it on stage before she sings that song. Oh, maybe the bottle is kind of stuck there. Have you seen Casey Musgraves and her giant disco balls? I love that. Yeah. The scrotum from heaven. She writes pretty cute. I love me some Casey. She is the best. You mentioned like Ella Langley. Yeah. And there's a similar there's a cross. There is a similar sound. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was just listening to Casey Musgraves the other day, and it was reminding me of there was an album release party she was doing. And they had it in the Scurmahorn Symphony Center. And they had this little reception outside of the seating area. And for like an hour and a half, you could. They had they were serving drinks and they had like cotton candy in champagne. Oh, that's cool. Like very Casey Musgraves. And I said to Jonathan, our boss at the time, a friend of ours,

[00:42:30:09 - 00:43:45:10]
like, look at that girl over there trying so hard to pull off the Maren Morris. Look, and he says that is Maren Morris. She's really good at it. Nailed it. Yeah. But Casey, I mean, people like Maren Morris and Casey Musgraves, it's like they really push the boundaries of country and Western music. Yeah. I mean, look at the, you know, like dry spell, the song she does where she's talking about sitting on the dryer as it's vibrating. Have you seen that music video? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In some ways, I think that like the the Casey's and the Maren's have sort of like harkened back to something that country felt like it lost for a long time, though, like there's a like a subversive alternative vibe. I've always loved that. Maybe like people in long time ago days like Willie Nelson. I was like, there's a reason Willie loves Casey. Yeah. You know, they are. Yeah. Yeah. All the spirits. What was what was the thing about Kelly Clarkson that you were wanting to talk about earlier? That is amazing. Have you heard her sing Golden from K-pop Demon Hunters? Yeah. No. Are you? Are you? Are you not that.

[00:43:52:25 - 00:44:14:10]
I'm blown away by everything Kelly Clarkson ever does. She's like infamous, notorious, whatever, for like covering everyone's songs and doing it better than the original artist. She's very good. Yeah. Even a song you don't like. She does it and you go, I like it now. Right. Artists just like quake in their boots every time they, you know, get asked for their permission to let her cover it. That's right.

[00:44:16:04 - 00:44:47:20]
Oh, crap. But it's part of her magic, you know. Oh, yeah. She's one of the sweetest women. She is very sweet. She's so warm and so funny and so talented. Like she deserves every good thing. It's not a sassy sister. Yeah. She's always had lovely like I feel like I know her. Yeah. Right now, Luke is in a notepad going, OK, you know, the K-pop Demon Hunters Slurp goes the ramen. Oh, my God. The big cat is hiding me. I'll go with the big cat. OK.

[00:44:49:20 - 00:45:15:23]
I know back to songwriters core. So but you didn't seem enthused at first when I brought it up. Yeah, you sound like you're going, oh, I don't like it. No, no, no, no. Oh, no. Here's the thing. I love Kelly Clarkson. And one of like the most exciting moments of my professional life was honestly, Kelly Clarkson is kind of how I met you. She is the reason we know each other.

[00:45:16:29 - 00:45:33:08]
If you're new around here, when I was like 10 years old, my dad was on the American Idol tour right after she won. Right. When America agreed that this bitch is great and we launched her in a superstardom together. And she's just riding the wave that was caused by from Justin to Kelly. Yes. Yes.

[00:45:34:08 - 00:46:22:22]
So my dad was from Tour of Us Driver and we were at a show, I think like in Carolina or something, because I don't think the tour actually came through Nashville. Right. It didn't. And we were backstage and my dad had talked to Kelly about how much I love to sing. And so she asked me if I would sing for her and your program director at the time, Rich Davis was there. And he heard me and he like ran up to us and he was like, you have to be on our radio show in Nashville. And we're like, we're from there. So that's how I met you guys the first time. Yeah. And then, you know, later on when I was an adult and I was music director over at I Heart, you know, we had her on the show and then like as music director, you know, I'd been to her house before and like worked with her in all these other capacities. So when you say anything about Kelly Clarkson and I sort of clam up, it's not because I'm unenthused. Oh, because you're worried that somebody's going to see something bad about her. And so I saw we had some really good.

[00:46:23:29 - 00:46:39:24]
One person on Earth who thinks she did a shitty job with Golden and Savannah. No, she's someone that I think like is like this random little character in my life that is she's sort of like a harbinger of like meaningful shit for me.

[00:46:40:25 - 00:48:04:28]
For example, there's this other girl that was telling this story on TikTok that went viral this week. I hate that I feel like a fucking TikTok news parrot. But like there is this girl. That's where everybody gets their news. All right. That's the it is. It is the town square. Yes. So this girl on TikTok said that Nicholas Cage is her version of Kelly Clarkson that for some reason she has run into Nicholas Cage three times in her life. She's not an actress or anything like that. And every time that she saw him, she and her boyfriend would break up like pretty soon after. A bunch of other girls were in the comments and they're like weird. This actually I have similar like stories about Nicholas Cage. So he mentioned couples. People are like he's like moldivite for the girlies. Like a crystal that just like sucks the negative energy out of your life or whatever. So like for me, Kelly Clarkson is like my Nicholas Cage is like she's just like this meaningful character. Yeah. She's the the golden thread through a lot of really cool things. Yeah. Do you guys have a Kelly Clarkson or Nicholas Cage? I have a feeling like the omen. I I I swear I've had that thought, but I can't remember with who. And I don't want to sound like a like a crazy name dropper, but we've met a lot of people. I just I think I need to meditate on that. So by the next podcast circle back around circle back. Yeah. Who is your Kelly Clarkson?

[00:48:06:14 - 00:48:09:22]
Who is your Abraham? Like I'm sorry, keep bringing that to you.

[00:48:12:03 - 00:48:23:03]
Yeah, it's kind of the you invited the vampire into the house and we can't complain about what are you making Abraham? No, no. You have to admit I am the ticket to far guy.

[00:48:24:19 - 00:48:26:10]
Take it too far and then take it a little farther.

[00:48:28:22 - 00:48:46:00]
I have a feeling like I just remembered from our first podcast in the first five minutes, I think Savannah, you asked, how are you doing post radio era Woody and Jim? And I wasn't ready to answer that question. How are you doing? I don't want to answer it. No, I just can't.

[00:48:47:04 - 00:48:51:14]
Oh, my God. You're like the hung jury. We can't come to a decision again. Sorry.

[00:48:53:00 - 00:49:15:02]
I couldn't for the longest time. I couldn't talk about it. I did. I unfortunately, anybody who left comments like really nice stuff I know about your comments. But I didn't. I didn't read that. Like, yeah, I don't know if I'm just wasn't ready for that. But I didn't like it's not a bad break. Like I feel OK. And part of that is I think I.

[00:49:16:13 - 00:49:20:00]
Well, like Woody, I have done radio my entire life.

[00:49:21:00 - 00:50:04:02]
But I've been I've done like a lot of other things at the same time in the last 10 years. And and through that time, I'm like, hmm, other stuff is cool, too. Yeah. Right. So like a lot of volunteer stuff. And it is no reflection on on the show because I feel so freaking blessed. Yeah. That I had the time. But at the same time, I'm very excited about doing different stuff. Yeah, because I don't know. Every day is like super new. That's been another thing for me, because, you know, I'm trying to find a job. And, you know, when I've done radio since high school, that's all I've ever done. So it's like, it's like, oh, do you have a resume? Yeah, it's nothing you'd be interested in.

[00:50:05:09 - 00:51:02:28]
Nobody knows like how it translates to a job. Oh, yeah. How is that going to help you stock shelves at Walmart two in the morning? I don't know. I do jokes while I'm doing it. But you know what, though, I could tell you how it translates. There's a lot of trends. There's so many ways that it translates. Like at the end of the day, you are someone who brings like warmth and humor wherever you go. And especially I think when people are just like longing for that because it's fucking robots everywhere or people are just like lost in their phones, like the world of customer service and like human connection. Like you bring so much to that. So you shouldn't sell yourself short. Like you might be a radio vet, but like that that is a skill set that will follow you anywhere. So many people nowadays are afraid to talk to people. Yeah. Right. I mean, so you don't have that. No. I have the opposite problem. We wish you did. Like you know, the Costco. Would you like to hear about Abraham Lincoln?

[00:51:05:25 - 00:51:10:18]
And this is the episode that killed Woody's chances of getting a job. Yeah.

[00:51:11:18 - 00:51:40:28]
No, you can build rapport with people. Yeah. And that is a skill. It's fun. It translates to a whole bunch of stuff. Hopefully I will find something on a steady basis. I'm doing a few odds and ends right now, but big work. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, I still think that there's an opportunity for us to do like a slutty calendar for you. You know what I mean? Like a fundraiser, dude, war type thing. Let me get on a Zimbuk for a couple of weeks.

[00:51:42:26 - 00:52:02:24]
Well, it's like Presidents Day is February. So you have a few months to come up with your cosplay calendar. I'm just saying, you know, you were talking about like trying new things and spreading your stuff. And so, you know, like it could be fun. OK. It'll be Woody's boudoir calendar.

[00:52:03:24 - 00:54:34:10]
Why not? Or you know, if you really have a hard time finding a job, you could also just join a cult. I hear sometimes they own sandwich shops. You know, and they like the yellow deli and the Chattanooga. That's the exact one. I went to the T.C. for a year. Tell me this like so a cult is supposedly a rumored cult. What what does the cult do? They all dress. I don't know how all the all the people that work there all dress the same like they're kind of like they have a uniform and a look. Yeah, like they're very Amish looking and OK, not that that's a cult or anything. But but yeah, it's like the rumor goes around that, you know, it's a cult. And if you go and eat there, they will try to drop you into the cult. Yeah, they'll give you a job. You remember the other day when I brought up Reckless Ben and I talked about how you like infiltrated McCain. Yeah. Tennessee. Right. He also infiltrated this deli. And that's how I know. And it is a cult. I'm just saying if it gets bad enough, you just go join the court. I ate there several times with my daughter when she went to UT Chattanooga and it was like, yeah, they they they take like weeks off where they close the thing down. But during the regular cycle, they're open like all the time. Yeah. So, you know, what do they believe? What does the cult believe in besides leaving in sandwiches? Um, they believe in alfalfa sprout sandwiches. This is actually kind of cool. It looks like a place where you would buy like butter beer and a Harry Potter movie or something like that. Yeah. OK. At least in the Reckless Ben documentary that I watched, I think he was at like a location of a yellow deli or whatever that was in maybe California. There's a few of them around. It's like a franchise of cults. Yeah. But they had him do lots of like in addition to making sandwiches. He also had to do like a lot of like really hard labor and they wanted him to like break up with his girlfriend because she was Asian. OK. Well, I mean, OK, those are some of the things that cults do, which is like separate you from your separate you from your loved ones. Also use you as cheap labor. Right. Right. Yeah. And they were also like, I don't know, had some very scary ideas about how they were going to bring like God down to the earth. Maybe through like harming themselves or something at some point. It's really scary. So some kind of like doomsday vibe. OK. Yeah. Interesting.

[00:54:35:10 - 00:54:39:09]
So, you know, if your mind troubles get that bad, there's a bet for you.

[00:54:40:15 - 00:54:51:05]
There's a bet for you at the yellow deli place. Yes. They'll take anyone. You just have to learn, you know, their secret rituals. Right. And the menu.

[00:54:54:03 - 00:57:39:15]
Well, OK, so, you know, you talk about like wanting to learn new things or try new things or experience new things like post-radio life. Is there anything new that you've been doing lately that you're having a great time with or something that you want to try? But maybe you're scared of. I mean, right now I'm taking a lot of the stuff that I just did as a result of being on the Woody and Jim show, which was like, oh, OK. Well, you know, we need a logo. We need a Web site. I mean, so I mean, all the way back to the 90s, like I was a guy like, OK, I'll learn it. Yeah. And I will do that. So I don't. I'm learning like today. I had a great conversation with we have a guy at work who's in charge. His sole job is A.I. And I know you're everybody's like, OK, that is a charged, you know, couple of letters. Right. Yeah. Like data center. Does anybody have opinions? But but I mean, he obviously he has nothing but the best. I thought he was a great guy and I hadn't really seen him and I didn't really spend any time with him. But we talked about using it as tools to eliminate the drudgery so that frees you up to do the creative stuff. See three P.O. vibes. Yeah. Yeah. Be my protocol droid. Yeah. Do the stuff so that I can go do more interesting stuff. Yeah. If it's used limitedly like that, it's great. I think when we when you let A.I. handle too much, that's when the terminators are going to be stepping on our skulls of the future. And being like a natural being a creative town. Yeah. Right. I don't like A.I. to generate art. Right. But to serve me and go through spreadsheets and figure stuff out. Yeah. I don't have to be in Excel. Yeah. I'll take it. Yeah. Thank you. I get that. Yeah. Down goes the whiskey. I took my job. Thank you, little Brian. You're getting somewhere. I don't even think A.I. is going to take as many jobs as they say, because it's like every tool and piece of technology that's come along. It doesn't replace the person. It just makes your job expect more of you. Right. Right. So your job's not going to give you OK. Oh, now that your job is 25 percent easier, you can only work. You only have to work 30 hours a week. No, we expect you to work 40 hours a week. But we expect the volume of what you're doing to be higher now that we've given you this tool. Right. We come back on everything except expectations.

[00:57:41:18 - 00:59:48:07]
Seems fair. So, yeah. Hey, on me if you want. But I don't know. I I two things can be true at the same time. A.I. can be absolutely terrifying. And we should be very careful about what we do. But it is also going to be pretty amazing as well. Sure. So it's like fire. When fire came along, you can turn it can burn the house down, but it can also cook you dinner. Yeah. We've been in 2001 a space on a dancing around a. Oh, yeah. Dancing around a data center for sure. Orches. Have you seen the videos of like the humanoid robots that like sometimes attack the people around them? Yeah, I have. I don't always know if they're true. I think it's a.I. fakes that you're seeing for the most part. I have. I did see the like the robot games in China. Yeah, it's amazing. They all compete. And then I you know, obviously the ones that are great are the ones where they run off the track and then hit a wall and explode into sparks. And I feel sad for them when they do. I have such conflicting feelings about all of it. Was like movies like the like Wally. Yeah. Training us to have feelings or even Star Wars. That's why I call it C3PO is I'm trying really hard to like make space in my life for it to exist in a way that doesn't offend me. I don't want to be a dick. I'm trying to think like, can you can you picture R2D2 beep beep beep beep being malevolent against humankind? No, I can't. Well, yeah, they obviously they made those droids very lovable. But then there was the bad droids that worked for the.True. The ones with guns. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I am terrified at the same time. I want one of those robots so bad. I want data from Star Trek to be my best friend. Well, I think you're going to get it and then it's going to betray you. It's coming way too soon.

[00:59:49:16 - 01:00:12:12]
It will earn your trust and then.Oh, it will. Oh, yeah. It will. I mean, AI is already blackmailed people. That's exactly what I was about to say. I mean, they were going to shut down this basically this sandbox version of the AI. Yeah. And the first thing it did was try to blackmail one of the human scientists involved.

[01:00:13:18 - 01:02:00:01]
About his extramarital affair about threatening to release information about this guy's affair in order to keep himself from being shut down. See, isn't that kind of stuff worth thinking about? I mean, I've never used chat GPT, but like, there's also it's come out that like none of it is private. Like, yeah, there should be no expectation. Yeah, obviously. There's a data center somewhere where everything is. Right. So I'm just kind of like that just feels like it's putting a lot out there to something that knows how to blackmail people. Do you know what I mean? Like, it feels a little sketch. Totally hurt our Abraham Lincoln covers. I'm sorry. I promise that's the last reference. I'll make sure. We've ruined him for every. Really is it? I dare you to say, Oh, don't let me tell everybody about the Abraham Lincoln. We already posted it. Right. It's right. It's right. It's right. It's already a black man. Well, also, what do you said something that I feel like we should circle back around to you because you touched on something that's happening that maybe by the time this comes out tomorrow, it will be resolved. But you were talking about like a hung jury. Right. Are you referring to like the Lindsay Clancy thing? I'm yeah, I mean, they come back, you know, as of this taping, you know, they come back and say, we can't decide we can't decide. So they're talking about a hung jury and a mistrial. Like if they send them back three times, if they don't have somebody have a verdict after three times, they declare it a jury. And the judge is like trying to kind of suck up to him a little bit like you guys are awesome. You really should come up with an idea. You should come up with a verdict. Really. I really love you guys. And you're all going to get a pizza party.

[01:02:01:13 - 01:02:30:16]
I don't know if you watch today, but what you're referring to is like he actually had to read it out. Like it's like a literal order where basically there's a certain phrase. I forget what the phrase is for him. Like dynamite or something. I know something like that. But he basically just like has to tell the jury and he was like reading it because it's like an actual statute or something. It's just like there's never going to be a more impartial jury. You guys are smart. Like go figure it out kind of thing. You're smart enough and gosh darn it. People love you.

[01:02:31:16 - 01:03:50:11]
I've been out a couple of juries and I got to tell you, you know, as good a justice system as we have that does have problems. There is this overwhelming subtext for everybody involved, which is let's get this over with. Okay. Especially if the trial has been going forever and even if it's just been a day, they're like, okay, come on. Well, they're not sequestered either. They're going home. You know, right. But they got to come back every day and do this. Say like how would this has been what weeks, months? It's been like, I guess they had like three and a half weeks of like the trial itself and then they've been deliberating or at least trying to for a week. And the last thing anybody involved from the person making sandwiches from the cult for the jury to the judge are all going, oh gosh, please don't make us do this again. Yeah. Well, I don't know if you're dashing the yellow deli again. This is, oh no. I don't know if you guys were watching it today. I've been watching it every single day. Like this is like a hair with a chance. I've been very fixated on it. But today, I guess when the jury came back for the third time, like, we cannot figure this out. Right.

[01:03:51:12 - 01:04:49:28]
It came to light that I suppose it's like 11 to one in there. That there's one person, one juror who's really chappen everybody's ass and who doesn't seem to have their brain fully wrapped around the idea of reasonable doubt, which, you know, you're not supposed to convict somebody if you cannot, you know, the whole reasonable doubt thing is like, if there's reasonable doubt, then you have to let them go. Right. Don't quit them. But this person is really not down with that, apparently. And so the judge this afternoon was like trying really hard. Like he was reading out loud, like what reasonable doubt means and what you're supposed to do. Try and like emphasize it to this person. And the defense's attorney, Kevin Redington, he made a motion after that to try and get the judge to take that one juror off and have one of the alternatives put in because he was like, they're clearly not listening. They don't understand the instruction. Your instructions, like they're being disrespectful, like everybody's worked so hard on this. Like you should get rid of them. And the judge said no. So I guess they're supposed to go back.

[01:04:51:04 - 01:04:57:27]
I have one more time. I've had a jury. I've been on a jury with one idiot. Please tell me about it.

[01:04:59:19 - 01:05:15:21]
All right. So it was like basically the crime was a mugging. Right. So it's an old lady walking down the street carrying her purse, frail person. Right. And young dude wanting money for drugs

[01:05:16:22 - 01:09:23:03]
knocks her down, hurts her. You know, I think she broke a leg and arm. She's probably like 80. Or me, Ma. It steals the money and goes away. They catch the guy in an apartment, like follow him to an apartment. They go in. They find him hiding under a bed. He peed himself and he has the person in his hand. Like, wow. So the evidence is pretty overwhelming. Yeah. This woman actually said, what if he has a twin that looks just like him? And we're like a twin that coincidentally ran from the scene of the crime with the money. Right. And hid under the bed. Right. And peed himself. Right. But like, those were the kinds of things that were coming out of her mouth and the entire the rest of the room is going, come on. And it came to the point where she finally agreed. Yes, he probably did it. Okay. So yes, he did it. So she's going to agree with it. But then she didn't agree on what we were going to convict. Like, there were some definitions. Yeah. What that, you know, I don't know if it came out of sentencing or something. And we had to go into the courtroom probably two or three times. Yeah. And the judge, as a jury, you can't say judge. She doesn't get it. Yeah. Right. So instead you have to give a written instruction and the judge had to read the definition. Yeah. That like, okay. And there was like an and or statement. So. That happened today. Yeah. Yeah. So like, if you're to convict this person, they need, it can either you need both things or one or the other and or all you need is one. And we would go back to the room and we'd say, see, he told you you don't need one and or and she goes, that's not what it means. And we read it three times in court. The judge by the third time he's like, I think he figured out what was going on because he got about halfway through the thing. And he goes, and or like with a super big inflection, like, yeah, stupid dumb ass. Yeah. And then finally, she agreed. How tense does it get back there? Like in the deliberation room? Like, was it like Real Housewives vibe? Like, or did you guys maintain a certain level of decorum despite your frustration? I think there was there were some decorum. But I mean, not to say it's just a mugging. But, you know, it's not a murder case. So the stakes aren't as high. You know what I mean? The long time has passed. Yeah. You know, it's just nobody's going away for 30 years. Or anything like that. So I was never on that kind of jury. I actually was on a grand jury in Rutherford County one time for what? Well, it's actually where they set people down and then the police officers and people bring in cases. And we all have to decide whether it should go to court or not. Should go to trial. And that was more interesting because you you got to hear like, you get a bunch of different things a day. So it was like, wasn't like you're hearing the same thing over and over. Yeah. So and there wasn't a whole lot of pressure on it. Yeah. Yeah. And they they say you can get an indictment against a baloney sandwich because it's like, I mean, it's really easy because there's I mean, you don't have to prove all this stuff you do in court. Yeah. You know, it's just to see if you go to trial. Right. Yeah. Well, I mean, I've never been on a jury. I kind of think I would like it. You know, you would love it. It's fascinating. I mean, I think for the day I get a letter, watch it happen like next week because I said that. But I have been in traffic court a fair few times. And I will say it can be kind of interesting in there. Like, you know, I have been sitting in there sometimes waiting to get called up there to answer for my crime of running a red light or like whatever. And a few times I've run into people I know, like the judge will be like, okay, and on charge of prostitution and da da da da da. And then it'll be like, they'll call a name. Like, Hey, Rosalyn, how are you? What are you doing? Right. Is this still $20?

[01:09:24:07 - 01:11:52:00]
I one of the things I missed out on in Nashville and my friend Doug, who he owns the Murfreesboro Skate Center. Oh, yeah. So he's a he's a friend of mine. And he and his friends back in the day, they used to go to night court in Nashville as entertainment. What bad like it was the Friday night thing to do. Yeah, somebody gets arrested, you know, and an hour later, they're in court in front of the judge. You know, oh, yeah, he hit me over the head with roller skates. And like they'd get to they'd just be there with pop. Oh, this is awesome. Why not? I don't know if they still do or not. But no veteran stadium in Philadelphia, they usually had a court, like at the stadium, where people got drunk and disorderly during a football game, they would take them and take them right down there and be off to jail. They're still drunk and they're sentenced and thrown in jail. That's, that's kind of amazing. I like that. Philadelphia is a terrible place. I worked there for about six months one time. And it was like, before people hated, you know, artificial intelligence, wasn't it about, I don't know, five, eight years ago, where there was like this, like robot that was they were bringing around the world to all these different cities around the world. And he would go there and people would visit and take pictures with the robot. And it was like this ambassador of love and blah, blah, blah. But it went it made it it lasted like hours in Philadelphia before they beat it to death with hubcaps. Well, that's the same place where they they threw snowballs and batteries at Santa Claus. I feel like they also like burn the city down, whether they win or lose. Yeah, that's one of those. Yeah, it's either. Yeah, it does happen. It's a sadness riot or a victory riot. We were going to ride because we were going to lose. But then we came back in the last minute. So let's ride in victory. I had worked in Jacksonville, Florida before I went to Philadelphia for a quick time. And, you know, I was down in Jacksonville and say, hey, how are you all doing? That kind of things like that. And you walk into a place in Philadelphia, you go, how are you all doing? They go, you all what the fuck you talking about? I'm sorry. Was that your impression of Billy? Yes, it sounded like the Taco Bell thing. But I was there long enough to run up the steps of the art museum like Rocky with my son.

[01:11:53:01 - 01:11:53:25]
During the jury.

[01:11:56:14 - 01:12:31:28]
Good times. Well, you guys, since it's almost my birthday, I think it's only right that you guys take turns telling me what you love about me. I think this is a great idea because I almost did this seriously. Seriously, because one of the nights that you did this for my birthday one time is you had everybody at work just text something nice. And then then you print your friend. You printed it out and framed it for me. I love that president. It was really great. And my favorite part about that present was after one or two comments.

[01:12:32:28 - 01:14:44:11]
Your comment in your text bubble said, All right, guys, just a few words. I don't have all that's trying to go on a fucking poster. We can't put a war and peace novel on this thing. So keep it short. And that takes up like half of it. You're welcome. And I love that. Oh, wow. I did that. I was thinking about doing that for you, but I didn't do it. It is the thought that we'll just do an audio version of it. Yeah, that's fine. Also, side note, you remember last week when I was telling you guys that for my birthday, there was this Tim Burton documentary that I really wanted to watch. Yes, I could not stomach. It was like a $75 paper. Yeah, you kind of thing. Jeff Pizza Dad. We love Pizza Dad. I was looking at my Venmo earlier and he sent me money to watch the Tim Burton documentary. Oh, it was like $75 before I want to pay the lady. I justify it. And so anyways, just really shout out to Jeff. I have been having such a hard time, like since Dolly Dyer. I really I've been worried about myself. And then the canceled ghost hunt. I just been really upset. OK. And so anyways, that was so sweet. At least have the behind the scenes of Corpse Bride. Well, yes. And every other Burton movie that I'm obsessed with. Yeah. So just like, thank you so much. That was like not expected. And that was so sweet. And sometimes we forget that people can hear us until things like that happen. I just think, oh, my God. You've also really forget that. Yeah. One of the things I love about you, Savannah, is you can fully inhabit the full female, like fun role stuff. And then you have like all these guy habits about you that makes it so much fun. Like some people are either all girly girl or all boy boy stuff. But you can jump into these worlds and you can like you can talk about beauty and fashion and art. But then you can talk about like freaking robots and all that kind of Abraham Lincoln. Yeah. Yeah.

[01:14:45:19 - 01:15:35:13]
So I think that's one of the things I yeah. I love about you is that you can. You can inhabit these worlds and somebody's going to find some common ground with you or you're going to find it with them. And you're you're bubbly. You light up a room and you've always been a lot of fun. It's like look at all the stuff we used to do on the radio show where, you know, a lot of people go on not doing that. But for St. Patrick's Day one time, you sat in a kiddie pool full of milk and frosted Lucky Charms. Was it front loops? I just frosted Lucky Charms because it was a St. Patrick's Day. It was holiday themed. Yeah. Wow. Good times. And we also did shots of your breast milk we've mentioned before. So you're always always ready for a good time. Down to clown. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good word for it. Yeah.

[01:15:36:19 - 01:18:06:06]
I don't know. I feel like you guys bring out like the goofiest parts of me. And that's been true since before we worked together. Like I don't know. There's something about there's something about you guys that I feel like in a Kelly Clarkson, Nicholas Cage kind of way is like important for helping me like find my voice or feeling like I can exist as my full self, which can be contradictory sometimes. We would love to be your Kelly Clarkson Nicholas Cage. I want to be Kelly. I want to be Kelly Clarkson. No. I love that you're very smart. And I love that you can like go off in a serious direction. But then if you stay there too long, you're you're going to bring up an Abraham Lincoln touching. Or Seth Rogen movie or like, you know what I mean? Yeah. Never too completely self serious. Yeah. And not a complete clown at the same time. Well, thank you. And you're just adorable. And a good mom. Yeah. And you're a good mom. Did you say for your birthday you wanted Wolfie your son to pick a favorite song? You mentioned that I think on our first podcast. He refused. And he refused. He said you didn't have a he didn't have a favorite song. And you were horrified by that. So horrified. He's literally got what four plus hours till he's on the clock. Yeah. And I don't know if he's even thought about it. Honestly, I thought about texting him as I was driving over here. Like I was like, give out his number. I've done it to mine before. Yeah, bless. I don't know. I hope that he does tell me what his favorite song is. But I'm afraid at the same time. I'm like, what if he just says something to have an answer? It's a meaningful question to me. Down goes the line. Down goes the whiskey by Luke Ryan. Well, then he's grounded. Then he's grounded. Down goes whiskey. Blow goes the birthday candles. I'm also having a problem with him because his birthday is soon. And he never will tell me or anyone what he would like as his birthday gift. Like his Christmas lists are even like toys for the dog. Some of them are something nice for Mimi. Like it's like gifts for other people. Sweet. I know. But I'm like, you little shit. You're not helping. Yeah. So I don't know. What should I get for a 13 year old boy?

[01:18:07:10 - 01:21:49:17]
Who likes to read and. Boom goes the time of mine. He's there yet. I you were telling us a few weeks ago, I think we weren't on the podcast, I believe. But you were talking about you watched the Manosphere documentary on Netflix. Yes, with your son. And he had the best reaction. Oh, my God. What did I tell you that he said? Because he said so many things. I believe he said something to the effect of if I ever act like that, these influencers or whatever that punch me in the face is what he said. Make the world a better place. Yeah, he's a very intelligent, chivalrous little fellow. And like, he'll be so helpful for me all the time. And when I like thank him for something like holding a door open or like carrying groceries or something like that, he looks at me and he just kind of like sizes me up. He's like, Mom, bare minimum. Don't thank me for that. And I'm just like, what? He's gonna be a great partner someday. Don't raise him right. Yeah, for sure. I don't know what do you do for I mean, his name's Wolfie. Is there a band named Wolfie? I don't think so. There was one birthday for my daughter who was always too cool for the room. As a kid. One year, I just randomly I took her name, which is Juliana. Yeah. And I don't know, I googled it. And I found this really cool, like underground San Francisco band. That's cool. Named the Juliana theory. And I bought her the merch. So she still has the hoodie. It has the logo for the Juliana theory. So if there's anything you can do that has his name in it, but isn't exactly about him. But it's cool. That's a good idea. I have some research to do a little Yeah, yeah. Also, while we're talking about music real quick. Did you guys see that live on the green is coming back? Yes. Oh, that's cool. I am so happy. Here's my fear, though. Yeah. Because it's now under the send amphitheater and the Opry. Yeah, yeah, that that company, instead of being a free event, I'm afraid it's gonna take it in. It's gonna be another concert. So to me, live on the green, part of it was you brought your own snacks, you put a blanket down. Yeah, yeah. yourself. Yeah. And you could do it for not paying any money. But yeah, exactly. And if you wanted to pay money, like I've had some great experiences where you pay a little extra to kind of be in a right, an area that has like access to a bathroom and things like that, had some of the best time. So I'm so here for live on the green, right? Coming back. I'm like, I hope that it's gonna be fantastic. I feel a little sad that it's like in the amphitheater versus like, in the original space, or whatever, like, not in public store park anymore. But they're supposed to have like a lawnwarming party is what they're calling next month. Gustor is performing. I like Gustor the band. Yeah. So I'm like, maybe that'll be cool. But I think that you do have to like pay for tickets and like lawn chairs and blanket spaces and stuff now, which I'm just like, well, I understand. That like you got to bring in revenue. It's a cool thing. So you know, couldn't couldn't can a corporate sponsor kick in some money like live on the green brought to you by right? Bob's Furniture Store or whatever. And yeah, we all get to go and we all like love on Bob's or in a furniture store. Yeah, that would be cool. But maybe we'll get there ain't nothing free these days. The ever changing landscape of national.

[01:21:51:08 - 01:23:10:24]
I think it's anywhere. This is like a lot of free is over for like free live on the green tickets. I saw in New York, they're doing like a lottery system for Broadway shows. So like if you live in New York City, like, I guess the mayor's like everybody deserves to be able to see a Broadway show on a list and maybe get to see a free app. We should have like live on the green. I feel like that'd be cool. Like, I think you probably I bet you that happens. Yeah, that's gonna be a certain amount of tickets that are free. And then for everybody else you want to pay. Yeah, right. You know, I mean, they used to do that with some other stuff. I remember the predators used to do, like, I don't know, $10 ticket stay of like right. And if you you know, but you had to walk up. You Yeah, like you couldn't just be a bot online. And I think that's great. You need at least people to have some chance, right to see these things. Otherwise, it's just anybody who's the highest bidders paying $5,000 on, you know, the ticket sites. And resailing. Yeah. No, the average person can't have any of these experiences. Yeah. It belongs to the locals. Damn it. It's the people. That's right. Cheap predators tickets and they should pay us to go see the tights.

[01:23:13:02 - 01:23:38:20]
Has football started back up yet? It's about to college football this weekend. The Titans the week after that. We were at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital earlier today, playing bingo with the kids love that always had fun. Best time ever. And so all everybody in the bingo area where everybody was grumbling about the Titans saying, you know, they're gonna suck. They're making a new stadium, but they won't.

[01:23:40:00 - 01:24:45:20]
I predict they'll be better. It's a pretty low bar. They'll be better nervous because it's so hot outside still like we're in the burr months. But 110 degrees outside still. So football starting back up before like fall has actually settled in. Right. My granddaughter Charlie plays a fall softball. Yeah. And they had to cancel games like today. Because yeah, they're gonna get sick. You know, they're gonna have heat stroke. Yeah, can't do it. It's like, yeah, we bring on fall. Yeah, I saw something a couple days ago that was talking about how Earth is like quickly warming up, like beyond what it's supposed to. Like, I think it's like, we're not supposed to reach 1.5 degrees centigrade or something. Is this why all the glaciers are melting in Nepal and they're having all the flooding and yeah, I mean, yes. Yeah. And it's like, we're at like 1.4 degrees and 1.5 was supposed to be the limit. I'm like, Ooh, if this is what it feels like, I can't imagine how much worse it's gonna be. Like, it's really scary. Yeah.

[01:24:46:27 - 01:25:29:11]
Well, Woody's phone is full. His storage on his phone is one of the cameras. So I think it's time to call it on our cast. Happy birthday to you, etc. Thank you. Thanks. I'm just gonna lay in bed all day, probably. Will there be cake? I don't know. I think I'm just gonna rot and like, watch the Tim Burton document. Exactly. And avoid the outdoors and the oppressive heat. As Luke Bryan would say, there'll be cake in bed, sparks in the neon. You gotta stop. Whiskey down, approve. This is a good time. Stop. Way more.
