Speaker 1:Daylight Savings Time. Spring is forward this weekend. Is it this weekend? It's this weekend.
Speaker 2:Very good, I am happy. Oh, very happy I'm so ready.
Speaker 1:I'm so sick of the winter I can't even tell you. Well, if you think, about it.
Speaker 2:Really it wasn't that bad this year, Well.
Speaker 1:I mean, think about it. Cold wasn't bad, although the weeds and the animals and the insects are gonna be horrible this summer.
Speaker 2:They are.
Speaker 1:Thank you. Climate Change they are.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, and I went outside. You know I was feeling really bad this morning, but this weekend I tried to cook out and the flies attacked my grill. So I'm like, oh wait until the summer.
Speaker 1:Oh man, oh man oh man, without the deep freeze we're screwed. Man, I know it in the mosquitoes, mosquitoes, we're gonna have new insects you've never seen before. Yeah, happy year. Yeah, every 2024.

Speaker 2:I mean, what a free-fall.
Speaker 1:Why are you so mad at me? Why are you so mad at me, man?
Speaker 2:I don't know man, I just needed to.
Speaker 1:I feel like that's passive aggressive.
Speaker 2:No, it's nothing passive about it, it's actual aggression.
Speaker 1:You just want to get me sick. You're like screw that motherfucker. Tired of doing this show, I didn't leave my equipment to you in my will.
Speaker 2:Oh, you didn't.
Speaker 1:So if I die, what you gonna do, you bastard? Well, I don't even have a will. I'm not gonna lie. I will tell my family to let you in my dungeon, my studio.
Speaker 2:Studio D is a dungeon philosopher.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm sure we're gonna have to edit some of that. Why that is the longest intro ever?
Speaker 2:to our show.
Speaker 1:Ah, fuck it. So last week we had a great time with Carlos as our guest. Yes, couple weeks before that we had John Rushton.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So Carlos is from Monstercade. John is an artist in town, so now we gotta, if you guys have any ideas, you who are listening, somebody you'd like to hear us talk to throw us. We already have a couple of guests lined up. Yeah, we do, but we'd like to hear who you wanna talk to. Yeah, Like maybe you wanna talk to Barack Obama.
Speaker 2:Oh, he did. I'll give him a call. I hear he's, you know, available.
Speaker 1:Actually, I think he's in some legal trouble. So yeah, I'm gonna turn on my calls.
Speaker 2:Oh, just a little bit.
Speaker 1:Just a little bit, yeah, yeah yeah, hey, you know what, let's get into it. So which one are we gonna talk about? You wanna talk about the marriage of Juan, or you wanna talk about Seattle? Let's talk about the weed first. All right, let's go with it. Give me, hit me up.
Speaker 2:Well, according to the story that just came out, north Carolina in Cherokee is it? North Carolina will be the first to have a marijuana dispensary located in the state of North Carolina, and the day they are projecting to start this dispensary and you don't have to have a marijuana card or anything, the day they are starting to do this is none other than 420.
Speaker 1:I know I saw that 420. Isn't that awesome.
Speaker 2:That's apropos it is how about that. But so I found this story interesting because I was wondering would that spread, you know, once they see active dispensary in North Carolina, would that inspire other counties to try to do it?
Speaker 1:My question is why wasn't it before? So you know a little bit about the law, probably not completely about Indian reservations.
Speaker 2:I do not.
Speaker 1:So it's not regulated by the federal government. Right Government, they can do their own thing.
Speaker 2:Well, it's a federal thing that they're doing, because it's on a res that's in reservation. If a, why are they allowed?
Speaker 1:to do it in North Carolina when it's still legal?
Speaker 2:Because it's on a res.
Speaker 1:Why can't they do peyote? Why can't I go there and get some peyote? Oh, you want to ride a donkey too.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:That's what. That's my whole goal in life, man is just to ride the donkeys.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and ride a donkey. Yeah, because I've already you know come on, that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to do it in pay room, did you really? When did you go to Peru? No, I said that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to do it. I want to go to Peru and I want to ride a donkey and I want to take some masculine.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I just want to drive some. I'm with you, I want to do that. We need to make that happen.
Speaker 2:But you know the reason why I think I'm thinking and people can write in and tell us if I'm just don't know what I'm talking about. They can do it because they're on a reservation and they the tribal and the elders voted to do this and they wanted to have a dispensary, a weed dispensary, on the res. And they've done it. And I was just curious to think I said, well gosh, when I was reading the article I said, wow, that could be something that would spread to maybe Forsyth County or New Hanover County, penda County.
Speaker 1:Would that spread? I would guess it would. I mean it's just going to go statewide eventually and just have certain counties that are like we don't want that in our. They'll just say, well, you can't have a dispensary. But I think eventually they're going to legalize medical. Well, I think medical marijuana is already legal. It is it is. But I mean, this is so. This is really just for medical marijuana.
Speaker 2:No, no, you can. You are going to be able to get high, real high, and you won't have a. There won't be a need for a card. You know, when you have a medical card to do medical marijuana right, you need a card. So if you get pulled over by police officers, you have to show them that card and say yes, you know, if they like smell weed on you doing a traffic stop, they're like okay, you know, I detected a scent of smell of marijuana in the car. Do you have Like? Well, I've been spoken and here's my card. You can do that in North Carolina, but on the, on this reservation, you won't need a card. You could just go ahead and flat out get high.
Speaker 1:Well, so I know where we're going on 420.
Speaker 2:But see, here's the thing too. Can you go on the reds and get high and then leave it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, why not?
Speaker 2:It's still, it's because it's not legal, off the rest.
Speaker 1:That's true. So this is gonna screw with Cherokee because all of a sudden, a bunch of white kids are gonna be showing up being like I think that's what that?
Speaker 2:but Well, that's gonna boost their economy, hey, dude, yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean you say Sheppell when he does white? Be, a man, hey man dude. I'm sick man, are you? Shot me, bro, washington.
Speaker 2:Why I?
Speaker 1:you know it looks like 78% support for lawmakers to pass medical marijuana bill this year in North Carolina. So that you know everybody's for legal. Three out of four people are raising for legal marijuana, for medical marijuana. I'm sorry now it doesn't say well for recreational, that's the only thing like do I think it's gonna spread? Yeah, because pretty much all around the country it's spreading.
Speaker 2:Oh, it is, and they sell what you know. What do you call those? Delta 8, and that has a small quantity in it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but no dude.
Speaker 2:Yes, I know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, man, you got to go here get some Delta 8, but make sure you only take half the gum here, you get right these are people who are seasoned users.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell me how that's legal. That's what I'm. That was a question I was going to post to you.
Speaker 1:The government doesn't like anything that makes you feel happy in this life.
Speaker 2:No, they can't tax, you see what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:I would say they don't even like you to be happy, because there's some things that you could buy. They just don't want you to have because they don't want you happy.
Speaker 2:Well, here's the thing too, what I think about with that. I've had a. I had a friend that was pulled over and he had a small amount of marijuana in his car right and Officer is you know say, hey look, I smell weed in the car, do you have it?
Speaker 2:You're like yeah he said let me see it. And he gave it to him and he dumped it out and told me Keep it moving. I'm like what, keep it moving? If that would have been me, oh, you're in jail, oh. But here's the thing. What I'm thinking is that officers don't have time anymore, to you know. Stop, stop you for stuff like that. If they smell it on you, they smell it on you.
Speaker 1:Well, here it says in North Carolina a State judge recently declared that anyone who has the odor of marijuana will be barred from entering the North Carolina Superior courts of Robeson County. But he says, you just can't come into the courts.
Speaker 2:He's not saying that.
Speaker 1:But he's saying, if you have the odor of marijuana?
Speaker 2:I know that in my court. Oh what if somebody's smoking it? I'm walking by you telling me I can't come into court.
Speaker 1:Well, so you you ever been to Little Richards on on Stratford? I have so I just went there yesterday for the first time, nice, yeah, carmen and I and my mom we went there, we got ourselves Pork yeah, you got you that piggy meat. We got the piggy meat. We're not Jewish. So, we need a lot of piggy meat. No, yeah, we ate the unclean beast. Oh you did, and but as we're walking out, man, though, there's a car parked right in front of the door, doors open. Oh dude, we eat a cloud.
Speaker 2:You could tell they were showing up beautiful.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, they're driving down the road like dude. Yeah, yeah, man, let's go get some pork. I'm hungry but I mean, I smell weed all the time now I do driving down the highway. I smell it, I see it all the time. I feel like it's not illegal anymore, even the way we talk about it so casually, one time we would be very quiet about oh, my gosh, yeah, oh you got that we, oh, you got that way, but I can't say it in person.
Speaker 1:now we're on a freaking podcast talking about weed, yeah. So there you go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean you know it's everywhere. You know people walk by you in the, in a grocery store. You smell them. People walk by you in a barber shop or everywhere you go, you smell it.
Speaker 1:I feel like it's always been in the barbershop. Oh.
Speaker 2:Oh, gosh, yeah. And then think about this too you might as well legalize it, because people have it and there's no, there's no way to police that you know. If you are an officer, a street officer, a beat cop, you don't have time for that. You really don't know, unless you run it.
Speaker 1:Well, if you run into a white kid, you don't got time for that. Run into a black kid, I got time.
Speaker 2:Oh, this is gonna be fun, oh yeah, yeah, strap up people, here we go, exactly, all right, well.
Speaker 1:I looks like everybody should get a medical marijuana card. We're all heading to Cherokee on 420.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:I'm the reservation.
Speaker 2:Go green.
Speaker 1:Let's hope the whole state goes green. You think so?
Speaker 2:I think yeah, I mean how long?
Speaker 1:you think it's gonna take five years, I'm gonna make that eight years, eight, hey, hey, what? Yeah, because I I feel like North Carolina lately has been going backwards. We're not a very progressive state right now.
Speaker 2:We have just later who yeah, I know, but I'm not trying to get into politics, no, no, I'm saying don't get me started, because I think you exactly right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think like ten years ago I would have said oh man, yeah, and ten years, we're gonna have it both look here ten years later, the whole states turned around. So we'll see, yeah, all right. Well, let's talk about the next subject.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, we got.
Speaker 1:I think they're kind of related because, from what I hear, People who smoke weed. They let the devil in and the reason they let the devil in is because they don't go to church anymore.
Speaker 2:Yes, tells the next story. So the next story comes out. It's come to us from Seattle, the state of Washington, not DC, the one across the country.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, the beautiful, beautiful state of Washington, the beautiful state of Washington.
Speaker 2:They did a survey on that and they say that Washington, seattle, is the place where people just don't go to damn church.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, one they don't go to church. Top five, top five top five.
Speaker 2:I guess I misread the story because that's like I thought it was. Seattle was the number one at the top. But it's not. You told me it was the least religious city city.
Speaker 1:Seattle is number one, but as far as state they are number five. Okay, because apparently Maine and Delaware Are the most heathenistic. Yeah pagan riddled states. You know, it's kind of funny because that's where our forefathers came from, those, those mighty Christians that I always hear about from Seattle. No, from Delaware in Maine you know, like all our forefathers, they were Christians.
Speaker 2:Oh, you tell my a Mayflower when they you know well, can you, can you give us a quick?
Speaker 1:just don't dwell on it. Can you just tell us a little bit, because I understand that a lot of the founding fathers were Masons and. Masons don't really have to be Well, I'm just saying the most of the forefathers were not Christian, they were deists or they were this, and that you know a little bit more about that but they were you talking about.
Speaker 2:On a masonic in.
Speaker 1:You want me to cut one? No, no, no, no, because you know, I know you're a Mason.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I'm allowed to say that, yeah, okay, well, you're a nice thing, which?
Speaker 1:which you know. Here a little backstory. We'll get back to the story in a second Backstory. I asked GC one time I was really interested in Masons and we were talking about it for a while and I say hey, man, can you hook me up? I want to, I want to be a Mason. He's like yeah, I can hook you up. Yeah, sure, man, but not not one of my guys. I got another guy in a different temple. I'm like or a lodge, sorry.
Speaker 2:Oh, I got a.
Speaker 1:I got a guy in a different lodge, you know, and they'll have to get you. I was like why can't I be in your lodge? I want to be in your lodge. Oh, I remember that conversation and it turns out it's cuz I'm white. That's messed up.
Speaker 2:No, you could join, I mean.
Speaker 1:I get the shit beat out of you Would not where you gonna have from you.
Speaker 2:Wouldn't get the shit beat out of you.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm just saying that.
Speaker 2:Well, you didn't want to let me in you say, I'm gonna get one of my wife or I don't go anymore.
Speaker 1:I thought you're not paying your dues. No, I Think you're not amazing anymore. I'm a spiritual Mason so, as you want to go back, you just pay your dues.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah yeah, pay three dollars, eight dollars or something like that. Why?
Speaker 1:don't you do that. I would go to the meetings all the time. Oh yeah, oh you would. I don't know.
Speaker 2:You think you would.
Speaker 1:I well, well, if it's everything that I've been told it could be in very vague terms.
Speaker 2:No, I think it's a great old, I just always hear, it'll make me a better man it does it'll make me like George Washington? I don't know about that Well close. Oh well, at least have something in common, whiteness so that means you gonna catch the flu and go down in, you know.
Speaker 1:That was Thomas Jefferson, by the way. I look, know that I Google stuff after we talk and you says so, you should my friend. And I do, and I do, cuz I'm like, was he right?
Speaker 2:Yes, and no, no, no, no. I'm right, george Washington. I'm right almost all the damn time sometimes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, almost.
Speaker 2:Sometimes Sometimes.
Speaker 1:No, but. But here's another little thing from this thing.
Speaker 2:Okay, you know who?
Speaker 1:the least church going group of people in the United States is the white people, black people no, they go the most. No, they do not 30%, only 34%. No, if you read that again.
Speaker 2:It says they go the most and then is 69%. We've seen that. Yeah, look at the article. I know they. They are. The 34% means that 70 67% of African-American, 70% of them do go to church, as opposed to.
Speaker 1:Did I read that completely backwards, not backwards? This this article this this article doesn't have it in there.
Speaker 2:I'm reading a different one right.
Speaker 1:The survey data shows only 35% of black people nationally never. The fuckers Shut the. You know why you wrote this shit. This is why journalism is dead. So apparently okay.
Speaker 1:So black people are the best yes people the worst as far as religion, but do you really think that that's a bad thing? Like this is kind of it's just telling you what is you know? Like Seattle is the least church going place it. Here's the thing, though. This is bullshit, and I'm gonna say why. Seattle is the least religious large metro area in the US. Right, they're talking about statistics, about whether you go to church or not. That does has nothing to do with whether you're religious. Now, it does, that's maybe how devout, you are to you.
Speaker 1:But there are a lot of people who are like, yeah, I'm a devout Baptist, I'm a devout Catholic, but I don't enjoy the churches that are around me, so I haven't been able to go. You know, there a lot of people will go to a church they tested out. It turns out the preacher is bad or the where the priest is bad or the music is bad, so they stay home doesn't mean they're not religious, just means they're not going to church. This is a faulty, a Faulty premise here you know, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I mean you with my. My thing is why? Why is that the case? Why are people, people not going to church anymore?
Speaker 1:You have Too much information now. We're in an age where technology is caught up with God. And I'm not saying this is my personal opinion. Okay, I'm just saying technologies caught up with God, we can now do things that only God could do once upon a time. We can make, we can create light. I can turn the light switch on.
Speaker 2:Oh, I see where you going with that. I got yeah, I got the internet, I can.
Speaker 1:I can have entertainment in front of me. I'm like a God think about that I'm like a Roman God being entertained all day by tic-tac kids.
Speaker 2:But you don't want to be a Roman God because you know they had a little pee-pee. You ever see those statues?
Speaker 1:dude. Dude, I mean come on, grower, or a shower.
Speaker 2:You know some people saying you know you want a Roman God, you know they sculpted those things and you see that wee-wee's right.
Speaker 1:Do I even care when you're? They don't have pop all they're doing is good. All they're doing is giving Giving grapes watching entertainment. Yeah, I'll sign up for that. Go fight somebody.
Speaker 2:The, the Caesars.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh yeah, I'll be a senator. Oh, I'm sure you would. Oh yeah, I stabbed your shit in the back.
Speaker 2:Hey, oh yeah you know, here's the thing. I Think the pandemic had a lot to do with it. I think the low attendance rate that had a lot to do with it, because of the pandemic and and people, people just said I'm not going back. You know, I can do you think?
Speaker 1:you think is the pandemic like work, like they're like hey, you know what, we can just zoom in, I don't have to go to church anymore. I mean, I do that, I do that. Oh, I'm sure you do.
Speaker 2:I'm talking about, not because we don't want to be around people, I'm not saying that, it's just that it's really convenient. You could just on Fridays for Shabba's, no listen, we Tune in, you know. Like I said, we have a great rabbi, you know. You know, it's just rabbi. Charlie, rabbi, charlie, and we just tune in via and they say, hey, everyone joining us from home. You know, those of you are here tonight and those of you are tuning in Shalom, shalom. You know that's how?
Speaker 1:I think that's how we stopped going to church a long time ago, because we like it's sick, somebody would get sick or somebody couldn't go. So you start watching church on TV, because they used to have mass on TV and it was only 30 minutes because they cut all the music.
Speaker 2:So yeah, so we started doing that all of a sudden before too long.
Speaker 1:It was just miss a few. Miss a few here, miss a few there.
Speaker 2:I would just watch it on TV.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna sounds like you know what? It's not that entertaining. I'm gonna watch something else. What watch Sunday morning yeah. You know, I mean and then all said, but you know, I just think that a lot of religious. I Think people are less religious because of technology. I really do you think they're? Less superstitious. You know, when you hear something, go bumping the night right. It was the devil. Now You're like damn AC conkin out the cat next door.
Speaker 1:Oh, we have roaches. We have roaches. I mean, people actually know what it is. Now they can go Google. Why is my wall Ticking? Oh, it's because it's cold outside and the hot water pipes are. You know, once upon a time I was like that's.
Speaker 2:Satan, not a good little boy.
Speaker 1:No, he, he knocks in threes cuz he's mocking the Trinity. You know, I mean it's all that stuff. Oh, that's true, I mean Catholic Church demons, always talking about demons right there. Sorry, they don't have that in the Jewish culture.
Speaker 2:No, they don't, I know. That's why I like about it. You know, we just don't scare little children like that.
Speaker 1:But well, that's. That's not a nonsense.
Speaker 2:But anyway, Nonsense. I think it's nonsense too, I'm Listen, listen, send all your letters to GC.
Speaker 1:I don't give a shit, I don't. I do not care whether you're like you know, you know like oh, he's going to hell, cuz I don't believe in it. So just you know save your letter, save your time. I'm Jewish.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, Jesus was a Jew. Well welcome, you know, is that shalom? The tent is big enough for everyone.
Speaker 1:That's true, come one call them all, though, although, david, you're gonna have to go over to the white Jewish tent because we have the black Jewish 10 over.
Speaker 2:I know you won't let me go go away a temple of man. You're more than welcome to go to temple in a man.
Speaker 1:You don't go to temple of manual.
Speaker 2:I you know what I've been a couple of times since rabbi Charlie was there, and I enjoy the sermons.
Speaker 1:See, I thought at one time you were actually studying to be no something you were, you were, you were learning your Hebrew, you were practicing Hebrew.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, that was recently, because you said you're gonna get back to it.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, my Hebrew is a little rusty rabbi Charlie, if you're listening, somebody's waiting to go back to temple. You just need a little nudge.
Speaker 2:Oh, don't do me like that. You gonna put me out there like that. Look I am, oh man really.
Speaker 1:I only know a couple words.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you did it. You did a pretty good job. You know that you know what that means To life. It's very good. You on your way to being a Jew.
Speaker 1:I watch fiddler on the roof. Oh, oh, okay, with my jazz hands.
Speaker 2:Did you?
Speaker 1:yeah, jazz hands ready. It's a sad show. It's actually a very sad show.
Speaker 2:What is the movie fiddler on the roof? What Bible? Barbara Streisand? No, what was? What was? Oh, she was in Yento. Yeah, I never watch that man. I never watch that man.
Speaker 1:That just looks like a downer. It was well, so was fiddler.
Speaker 2:No, I know, I've seen it, but you know well, those are white Jews, you know. You know, you know what I mean I think you got.
Speaker 1:No, really, they were Russian.
Speaker 2:I actually think oh so I really didn't care. You know, yeah, I agree, you know, we all Jews, we are, we all, we all come from anyway, we're digressing into a weird topic, but yeah, so I just that's my thought.
Speaker 1:I don't know if you have anything to add to that. I don't this this article, while I say it's a little misleading, because religious has nothing to do with whether you're going to church or not. In case in point, you. You do not attend temple, but I would not say that you're a bad Jewish man.
Speaker 2:No, but I go, I go, I do the online, I tune in this live Right.
Speaker 1:But but you don't attend. I'm going back. Well, that's not my point. My point is I'm trying to make a point against this article.
Speaker 2:Oh, it doesn't really say you're not religious. Yeah, but it does, though, is it is see the Seattle, indicative of everywhere else. You know, people are just not into religion anymore. Is that where we going? Yeah, okay, that's the point me. I listen, far be it for me to. You know, if you don't want to go to church, don't go to church.
Speaker 1:I think that we are headed to a spot where I don't think People don't believe in a God or God, whatever you want to say, because more than ever you hear people say like you know well, I don't really believe in the traditional God, but I do believe in a higher power, I believe in the universe. So people are just changing their thought processes, but, like with me, so I, as we've talked about before ex-catholic.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:I Did fall out from the church, you know, because I didn't like their teachings. I thought it was a little too dark. There's a little too much history there, but I don't like so but that you know, for a while there, yeah, I was probably like really I would say almost atheist, almost. But you know, my mind changed. I'm like you know what, just because I don't believe in that doesn't mean it doesn't negate God.
Speaker 2:Right it just means he's a different form for me and that's a very good point, a very damn good point, actually, because you could still believe in a God and not want to participate in the church scene or the Mosque scene or the temple scene of synagogue, right, so you could. You could have very strong spiritual beliefs and and and and a high being, how a higher power. You can do that and Then not be into that scene. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:The two can can live in Parallel with each other so some people love that, some people, some people need that, that fellowship around them to really enforce their own beliefs. You know they want to be around like-minded people like themselves and they want to worship. You know it's, it's a, because I know my mother, you know, go goes to church every Sunday. You know she went every Sunday because that's the way she was raised and then she likes the people that she Grew up with and knows, you know, and it makes her feel better. Then you have some people. Just, you know, I don't, I don't want to go there, but I still believe in A God or a higher, a supreme being. But I just don't, I'm not into that, I'm not into the building, because I don't want to give God my money. Now why does God need my money for educational wing?
Speaker 1:So is religion. It looks like this is kind of like they're equating religion with the building.
Speaker 1:Right, like, if you go to the building, you're not religious, which I don't know. That that, like to me religion is meaning I'm following a doctrine of a certain sect, of whoever right where you know. Just because you don't attend your church doesn't mean you don't follow that doctrine. Now I don't know how that would break down from this article, like how far it would skew from the statistics that they came up with. Mm-hmm, I'm just saying that you know, I would call myself Spiritual now, not religious, because I don't follow a doctrine.
Speaker 1:However, I'm still mostly Christian. But see, I believe in Jesus, but I also believe Jesus was a Jew, so I consider myself Jewish without I mean, I'm okay, I'm. You know, I got the, I got the circumcision.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I didn't get to chew, oh, you did.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:So see, we're, clean.
Speaker 2:You know, you sound like just now when you said that I'm a spiritual being and I'm really religious. So I like Thomas, thomas Jefferson.
Speaker 1:Thomas.
Speaker 2:Jefferson was. He was a deist. Yes and he did not, you know, believe in organized religion. You know he had a, he had a thing against that.
Speaker 1:Are you saying that a Founding father wasn't Christian? He was not, I know.
Speaker 2:Thomas Jefferson did not consider himself a Christian A lot of people don't know that, though. Well, it's true.
Speaker 1:Hey, george Washington was also a deist. I think he did attend churches, but he was more of a deist. Thomas just hurt.
Speaker 2:I don't know about Georgia.
Speaker 1:I mean deists basically just believe that there is a higher power, but they don't. They don't think that there's a guy in the sky watching your every move and taking down what you did not right.
Speaker 2:Right, you can't put this spiritual being in a box and say these just this now, he's just this. He's Aussie. Yeah, you never know. I mean, we don't know.
Speaker 1:Well, so I you know, and here's the other thing about this whole little thing I don't think that people I don't know a lot of people who read the Bible anymore. To be quite honest, Not, not, you know. I mean, people have one. I don't know that they're reading out of all time. I do know a few people actually but yeah. My point is that if you read the whole Bible, the whole thing, which I have not the Torah but the Bible. I read the Bible, yeah.
Speaker 2:You know it's hard.
Speaker 1:It's hard to follow what God you're even talking about, because the God changes his mind a lot, you know like, but you're the supreme being. Why are you? Why are you getting all mad? You knew this was gonna happen, but in the in the second half right after intermission.
Speaker 2:Yeah, tell me what the so-called new Testament? Yeah, and then when?
Speaker 1:interim, after intermission occurs. I'm gonna talk to you in musical terms. After the intermission there was this character, jesus. He was born and it's a whole new, it's a whole different God Like it, like a totally different God. Oh sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I just feel like people read that nowadays and they're like, hmm, the people, some people are. So you know, I say that people are getting more critical thinking skills. That's probably not true. Probably what it is? Mainly laziness, like I don't want to go to church on Sunday.
Speaker 2:Oh, you think that's what it is?
Speaker 1:probably a lot of it, but I do think there's enough information out there that now people are like hmm, that doesn't read. Jive with me, man right, yeah that doesn't really make sense anymore.
Speaker 2:Sure.
Speaker 1:So I mean like pork. I Just ate pork yesterday. Oh although I did feel a little sick.
Speaker 2:You did yes. Maybe there's one why.
Speaker 1:Well, just cuz I ate too much. Oh yeah, I had the cheese fries.
Speaker 2:That is so, american man, that is a heart attack my dude man, dude, you ain't a plate of heart attack, and then they served with ranch. Yeah, yeah, you eat ranch on certain things. When we get off to, when we get off the set here I'm gonna have to tell you with ranch, tell you something, a little bit, about your ranch.
Speaker 1:I've made it before. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, spices. Hey, I think you'll be.
Speaker 1:Don't be telling me about what happened.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, no, no no, you know, I worked in a restaurant.
Speaker 1:I did when I was in college.
Speaker 2:I know you did you worked in a couple of them.
Speaker 1:I was several, several, several of them.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying, man, you ate a whole.
Speaker 1:you had a plate of heart attack right, I did, man, but they were really nice there and they're great, yeah, great.
Speaker 2:Have you been to a city?
Speaker 1:I didn't think you how can you have barbecue? You had the brisket. I did. Yeah, I was gonna say you can't have that unclean me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can't Rabbi.
Speaker 1:Charlie, he didn't eat it.
Speaker 2:No, you know, here's the thing. I don't eat pork because you know high-pretention runs in our family and Good point. And you know, not just you know if I always say this if I was starving, you know, yes, I would eat, you know, pork if I had to. But you know I just been fortunate enough I'm not starving, so I can make that, I Can discern that and say I'm not gonna eat it, number one because of health reasons and number two Because of religious do you think that pork is less healthy than beef?
Speaker 1:Once you cook it? Once you cook it?
Speaker 2:It's not now. Not now, I mean.
Speaker 1:I mean it's higher in Sodium than beef but that's due to people, not because of the Just the natural cut of the meat.
Speaker 2:Just oh, it's got more salt in it. Yes, oh, I didn't know that. Oh gosh, yes.
Speaker 1:I thought they just added it for the curing process.
Speaker 2:Well, they do that too, and I'm glad you brought that up. You know a lot of it. You ever heard of Hog month? No, okay, well-, hog balls Malls.
Speaker 1:Hog malls.
Speaker 2:yeah, it's like a chunk of pig meat with a scale Sounds good. Yeah, and fat back. Have you ever heard of fat back?
Speaker 1:Everybody cooks with fat back in North Carolina Did, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:You know people used to. You know my friends used to come out of the house and they have sticks and you know these strips of this white stuff would load it with salt and that's really salty, yeah and they used to eat fat back. You're not supposed to eat the fat back? Oh, they used to fry it and eat it from a brother.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's called a. Yes, that's fat back right. Yeah, it is. But what do you call it? When you crisp it up, I don't know. It's called a. I have no idea. Well, pork skins, or whatever. You fry up the skin, you got the pork skin.
Speaker 2:Not pork skins.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know, but I know that you can fry up fat back and it's just like a crisp skin Because you slice it right, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then people, and then you know you find that people in your neighborhood put it in in colic rings and they put it in yeah well, I would do that, but I don't eat that shit on a regular basis.
Speaker 1:Like you know, yesterday was an anomaly.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to go off all the time and eat cheese fries, yeah, and if anyone knows David J, you know he's a pretty healthy guy.
Speaker 1:For the most part I got my problems with like Oreos, like once they came up with gluten-free Oreos. I was like damn it.
Speaker 2:They have gluten-free Oreos.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're not good for you man, they're not good for you, but I eat them. They're still not good for you.
Speaker 2:They're not.
Speaker 1:No, they're loaded with shit. They're loaded with shit A lot of sugar. The best thing that I found gluten-free is. The best thing they came out with was Barilla came out with gluten-free pasta and that was the best.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I eat that Because it's just corn and rice. That's what I eat.
Speaker 1:Oh man, it's fantastic, it is, it's delicious.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1:But if you're listening, barilla, which I know you are, could you make some angel hair pasta, because that's the only type I like. I know, yeah, you can't slice that a little thinner? I know it, they could. I hate spaghetti man. I hate it.

Speaker 2:David, my man, this is a problem, this is really a problem.
Speaker 1:All right, you ready for this? I'm ready.
Speaker 2:This comes to us from out of Monroe, North Carolina. Oh boy, Can't wait. So there was this government official, right, and she works for Union County Government Eligibility Technician. She was hired as an employee state employee. Uh, hey, let's see All right. Uh, she's 21-year-old. Kendall Griffin from Monroe, North Carolina, was arrested as a part of an ongoing solicitation investigation. What? So she was a prostitute, yes, cool. But she was set, she was working for this and she was soliciting prostitution. Within the organization, within the organization yeah, while she was working there.
Speaker 1:So she had a side gig. Yes, I got no problem with that.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, so well, you know, if you come to work and also you have no problem with that you come to work right, yeah, I give you a job.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you come to work. All of a sudden you got a bag full of Girl Scout cookies and you're like David, I got these Girl Scout cookies I want to sell. I mean, should I be like, hey, that's wrong, so you don't?
Speaker 2:have a problem with selling somebody's selling cha-cha at work, right? No, you have none, nope, none whatsoever, not even a little. And you're representing the state of North Carolina.
Speaker 1:Well, I do know that if they're doing it at work, I have a problem with it because everybody gets fired for that right. Like you have a normal job, you have a co-worker, you guys hook up in the bathroom or in the stairwell. You're probably going to get fired. If she's showing up and she's like hey, we're both off at eight.
Speaker 2:Oh, we go to lunch. You want a little, you know.
Speaker 1:Got no problem with what people do on their personal time.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no no. We don't know that this was on our personal time. Oh yeah, we don't know that. So what they have done? They have suspended her without pay in doing a further investigation.
Speaker 1:That's a little harsh man.
Speaker 2:You think that's harsh? I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1:Selling cha-cha at work, there was this guy. His name was what was his last name? Floyd George.
Speaker 2:Floyd George.
Speaker 1:Floyd. Thank you, George. Floyd was murdered by a cop.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:The cop was suspended with pay. Pending investigation. Yes, you see anything wrong with that.
Speaker 2:I mean he's cool in his heels in prison right now. They're probably getting sondomized.
Speaker 1:What I'm saying is why they got to take away her pay, while they're waiting to see if she sold her cha-cha. What? How to?
Speaker 2:do that? Pop Akbar David. Yes, the girl was selling nook, it work.
Speaker 1:What was it at work or was it outside of work?
Speaker 2:Do you think, okay, so lunchtime would be more acceptable? Yes, I will say this.
Speaker 1:if she did it like, hey, let's go to the break room, we got 15 minutes but we're still at work, I got a problem with that. But if she's like, hey, we got an hour lunch, I'm going home, I'm off the clock.
Speaker 2:Do you think the people that was buying it are there any trouble as well?
Speaker 1:I doubt it. Did you see them listen?
Speaker 2:No, they did not. You know who was buying it. And she's 21, it's not a bad looking girl, I mean, she's just she's so she was ugly. It would be different if she was ugly.
Speaker 1:That's very progressive of you. I'm just saying, that's what it is what it is well, look, I do think that, and I think you'd agree with me, that prostitution, or let's call that sex work.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Well, should be legalized, should be regulated. It'd make it safer for them right safer for us. Sure, meaning you, not me, I don't do that stuff, okay, but it would make it safer for everybody and you know it would take the money out of the pimp's hands. Well, it never said that she had a pimp. No, it says she was doing it directly. So she's just. You know what she, you know what. I gotta, I gotta, be happy for her entrepreneurship. She was like you know what? I'm gonna make something myself.
Speaker 2:I'm a little side. Cash.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah government work doesn't pay.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean she's 21 years old.
Speaker 1:I mean, you know, Well, let me ask you this yeah, if she has an only fans page, forget the sex work. If she has an only fans page okay. She should get fired.
Speaker 2:No, because now the way this is written, I think girlfriend was doing it at work, all right, okay, well, that's different, all right. So I mean, if you are the work in this position in state government, come on now.
Speaker 1:I mean but I do want to know why, technician, why didn't the Johns get Suspended?
Speaker 2:Oh well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you think she's gonna give them up. Yeah, you think she's gonna say okay, well, he did it. Well, yeah, she's going oh you're gonna hold her mouth.
Speaker 1:She's 21. She's a millennial. She's like no, she's a gen.
Speaker 2:She's taking them down.
Speaker 1:She's a youtuber.
Speaker 2:I'm going down, I'm gonna take you with me.
Speaker 1:I would. If I were her, I would. If she's gonna go down for this, I would take down every guy that I slept with. What? Yeah, because you know why. Because why is she gonna get in trouble? They obviously had a sting operation to catch her. So they know who she slept with. They know that it was Rick over there and yeah, in payable, receivable. Rick. Well, rick, could you come in here please?
Speaker 2:But here's the here's the thing I'm thinking. What type of mindset do you have? Here's the big, bigger question. Yeah how high Do you have to get to think it'd be okay to sell cha-cha at work and State government? You have to get you know.
Speaker 1:I don't know, but let's say she works in Cherokee, you know, and they have a dispensary. What she's on her cha-cha there, but everybody's getting high. So I mean, can you blame her if she's high, if she's on her cha-cha at the Cherokee reservation, like you know?
Speaker 2:Monroe, north Carolina. What was she?
Speaker 1:thinking what's their high horse? What's Monroe?
Speaker 2:I have no idea it's in North Carolina.
Speaker 1:Is that in your Charlotte?
Speaker 2:It may be.
Speaker 1:I don't know what they're getting all haughty-taughty for oh.
Speaker 2:I mean, you know, if you're gonna do that, I have no problem with you if you want to do that, but you can't be an eligibility technician and do it at the same time. Why not? And she was soliciting prostitution me. She was going up to people is like hey, that is the girl.
Speaker 1:That's the type of girl I want working for me, because you know, what she knows how to multitask. She knows how to get shit done while good yeah yeah, I'm all for it.
Speaker 2:Hey, well, you know, and to me that's that dumb shit, that is that dumb shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that was pretty good one.
Speaker 2:That's pretty good problem I.
Speaker 1:It's a it's it's pretty pretty. Yeah, you know what? I have no problem with it. Okay, not it, not even a little bit. Hi, well, that was our show, yeah.
