What memories flood back when you hear Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang"? Join me as I navigate through nostalgic recollections of 1993 Hip-hop and R&B, while being hilariously interrupted by my curious cat and reminiscing about my 1986 Mazda B2000. This episode isn't just a trip down memory lane; it also takes a heartfelt turn as I explore the challenges of aging and the recent passing of my father. Amid the light-hearted musical interludes, I share deeply personal stories that offer a poignant look at life's inevitable changes.

Feeling overwhelmed by today's chaotic political climate? You're not alone. I grapple with the growing concerns about President Biden's cognitive abilities and the childish behavior that seems to dominate political discourse. Struggling to stay informed without compromising my mental well-being, I reflect on my own anxieties and the search for direction amidst the noise. This candid rant strikes a balance between staying engaged and preserving sanity, offering a relatable exploration of personal and political uncertainties in these turbulent times.

Speaker 1:

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Hello hello. It's been a while.

Speaker 2:

Had a lot going on, a lot to work through, a lot to figure out. But I'm gonna continue this. I'm not gonna say I'm back cause I never said I was leaving. That's just dumb. But I'm gonna continue this cause I, I don't know, I just I want to you have no idea.

Speaker 2:

I just want to, so I'm going to. I was just trying to find some music to have as a background as I speak about a couple things. Let's see Hip-hop, r&b 1993. How about that? Let's listen to that. Yes, I agree, good choice. How about that? Let's listen to that? Yes, I agree, good choice. Now, what are we connected to? No, we're not. Oh, we are all right. Let's see if I can hear some music.

Speaker 1:

Oh fuck yeah, let's see if I can hear some music. Oh, fuck yeah.

Speaker 2:

I can hear it in my head so maybe it's going to resonate through, but if not, I will tell you what it is. It ain't nothing but a G-Thing baby by the good old Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg, the Chronic. I remember listening to this Riding around in my truck what's going on, kitty, kitty, you coming in. I had my door snap. I don't know, maybe a cat trying to get in or not.

Speaker 1:

Come on, come on, hang on At the same time with the dope rhyme that I kick, you know, and I know I put some of the funky shit To add to my collection. The selection Symbolizers don't take the talk, but don't choke. If you do, you have no lube. So what's me? And my homies do? So I can't do this, like this and like that, like this, and I'm just like that, like this and like that, and I'm like this Okie dokie, I had a kitty, kitty open the door.

Speaker 2:

I heard the door snappy, snap open. I was like what the fuck? What was I saying? Oh man, I remember listening to this fucking song Back in the day Cruising around in my pickup truck I think this was in my Originally. I had a 1986 Mazda B2000. And I had no power steering, no air conditioning. I had one outside mirror, no power whatsoever, threw a radio in it and a little speaker. The speaker box was behind the seat and I couldn't. I had to sit scrunched in a way. I don't understand how I I'm a little bigger than what I used to be, but In girth, size, but structure I've, height-wise I haven't changed so but it was a stick and I didn't know or I did know. What did I mean by I didn't know? Whatever? Fuck. Now I just sound like Biden Speaking of. That was why I wanted to fucking get on here and rant just a fucking hair bit. Let's see how do we where's the playlist.

Speaker 2:

I wants to see Whitney Houston. I Will Always Love you. Oh boy, yay, yay. All right, can I sidebar this or music? Okay, maybe I will just do that. I don't know. I kind of want to see a sidebar with the lyrics. Sorry, I'm wasting time. I know it's horrible. What kind of stupid show is this? He just rambles like on dumb stuff. He's not doing nothing. What the fuck. This guy's an idiot.

Speaker 1:

And I.

Speaker 2:

Oh sorry.

Speaker 1:

Will always love you. Oh, oh, oh, no, alright, um.

Speaker 2:

Oh, oh no, all right, fuck it, we're just going to make it.

Speaker 1:

I wish I could figure out how to sidebar it, but I got to get a new computer All in due time.

Speaker 2:

You go away, all right. Music will come and go as it comes and goes. Obviously, all right. I got to talk about this. I don't. I gotta go back and I'm gonna have to listen to this fucking thing again. But this debate tonight scares me Really, does I feel sorry for the, for the old Joe, joe Biden? I feel sorry for the man you know I mean Dude's gotta be. I can't only imagine what his regiment has to be.

Speaker 2:

I have no idea but I so just kind of I don't know. The guy couldn't compose himself for shit, and I know everybody's talking about it. Everybody's got to talk about it. If they're not talking about it and if they're not agreeing with it, then they are the source of the problem, of whatever. Everybody's a source of a problem. But fuck, we can't have this guy running our country. There's no fucking way, no way is this guy capable?

Speaker 2:

Granted, my dad just passed away back in January, so that was part of what has been going on with my life, but regardless it was part of what has been going on with my life. But regardless, it's better now with it. You know where it's at, with him dying Because he was in a state of just misery with life, and I wouldn't wish that on anybody watching how that you know, and I wouldn't wish that on anybody watching how that you know, and that's just kind of one of the things that I fear with getting old is the hell aspect of having to go through that shit. Oh God, I do not want to have to deal with that, but I can't imagine what the fuck they're doing with biden to keep him rolling the way that he was, to keep him fucking standing still tonight and not wandering off. I think there's one point where the the chick uh, what's her name? I don't know. But um, what's her name? I don't know but she said she was speaking to the, she was going to a break and she was saying stay with us. But she had said Biden right before and kind of paused, but the cameras were still angled on Biden and she it seemed like she was talking to him, you know, because he's got that history of wandering off. I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I'm in a weird spot with everything that's happening. I don't know what to fucking. I don't have a whole lot of time to catch up on all of the ins and outs of what's going on in this world. I kind of get bits and pieces from what I read and what I hear and what I kind of gather on my own and see out and about. But I don't go very far out and about. I haven't been out and around very much. I don't go very far out and about. I haven't been out and around very much and I just need to get out a little bit more with different places or whatever. But excuse me, but you know this whole issue of what is going on.

Speaker 2:

I know there's a lot of people that don't like Trump. God damn it, sorry. But what his? I don't know who fucking knows. I don't know the guy from anything, but what I do understand is some sense of kind of what he's about in a way of his. Let's figure out how we can put this His, his, what do we got Michael Michael? Michael Michael, where's it at? Where's the fucking music? Music? We will be there. Oh, it's the theme from Free Willy, michael Jackson.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2:

He was questionable, but fuck, did he do some good music. Good music Can't harm the guy. But sorry, got sidetracked. I just I'm in a weird thought process with all this because here we got two fucking wars going on that we're just dumping a shit ton of fucking money and resources into. What is that gonna do for us here when we don't have a shit pot to stand on? Most of us and I'm one I am one to the for the fucking tea. I have taken advantage of what I've can to for us for help, because I've been a piece of shit for most of my life with my money and just not wanting to do work because I think it's dumb. It's gotten louder. I'm going to turn it down just a hair.

Speaker 2:

Michael, goodness gracious, sing your lungs out, brother. But it's just. You know, the fact of it is is that it doesn't matter whatever about my past, because I'm not a factor of a whole lot of shit, I'm just a word and amongst of many voices. I don't know if I need to close my door because sometimes I get loud. I have people in the house, but, uh, the fact of the matter is, my outlook on all this is who would be the best candidate? I mean, seriously, people, how can we figure this out? What's the answer? What's the answer to it? There is no answer because, for some reason, there's a system, there's a fucking machine here that's just twirling on and, unfortunately, we're just bystanders just on the ride. You know, I don't know what to think. I don't know where to think, to go to believe. What I do know is that people are getting killed, and that's I mean. I understand that people are going to get killed any part of the day, anywhere, and that's just the unfortunate part of life. It's an unfortunate thing about living. However, whatever it is that we're living the things that we've created, the things that we've created. You know the way that we process things, the way that we treat each other, the way that we handle situations, whatever. A lot of rage, a lot of anger, a lot of what you know, just pure, just fucking evil. You know so.

Speaker 2:

But the fact is Is that what I see in Trump Is he's trying to put a stop to certain things. Yeah, maybe he doesn't, you know, go along with some of everybody else's ideologies and whatever else you know. The guy said he doesn't want to fucking be here, he doesn't want to be doing this because there isn't anybody else that can do this in a way that it needs to be done. I don't know for sure. I'm a dumbass. I'm just now kind of paying attention because we are on the cusp of fucking disaster, disaster. The rumors, the conspiracies, the thoughts, the whispers, the whimsles, whatever the things I read, the things I hear, the things I see, the things.

Speaker 2:

I kind of pick up on that hum of the world, the buzz, the crap that's going on all over these political things and whatever I don't know. All the ins and outs. I just don't understand. I got not enough time and too much of everything to really worry about it, but I need to worry about it. I guess we all need to worry about it in some sense we all need to kind of pay attention to it. You know Trump's trying to do is he's trying to stop all of that In a way.

Speaker 2:

I'm not completely for Trump altogether, but I don't see any other way of anybody else getting us out of the situation that we're fucking in. If there is a situation, or is it all a big fucking ploy? Who fucking knows? I don't know, but other people talk about it. There's a whole lot of people, there's a whole lot of things. I just know that, as humans in history and evils between cultures, nations, countries, evil, bad Murder, pillaging, no fun. On a higher note, I don't know. I just you know.

Speaker 2:

It says I'm reading yahoo biden struggles to land lines as trump lies in first presidential debate. First I what I thought there was another debate. This isn't the first presidential debate ever. We've had presidential debates in the past. But I don't know. And it says they sparred over abortion. I don't know, that would have been nice, that would have been fantastic if they would just let him go. And it says they sparred over abortion. I don't know, that would have been nice, that would have been fantastic if they would just let them go. Let them go, just let them banter at each other like fucking imbeciles. You dumb fucks. Let's have a Jerry Springer episode on CNN. Oh goodness, I'm afraid I'm scared, but I'm also kind of curious, I you know, with all the other shit that's going on that I don't know anything about.

Speaker 2:

I am not in that realm of world whatsoever. I've got a whole lot of other issues that I've had to deal with, so fuck it. I'm not a part of those clubs and whatever Ideologies, sillinesses, but I don't know what else to. I'm afraid of who they're going to try to throw in what that's going to bring, but I don't see it going any other way. There's nobody that's been out there. There's no way possible that if they're going to keep him in as the running for this, the candidate for this, that Biden, they're going to keep him in. That he's going to survive. There's no fucking way, no way. The guy stumbles so much His cognitive processing, thought and everything. He was acting like a child calling Trump names. I mean, it just sounded like grade school recess banter.

Speaker 1:

You know just the my dad's stronger than your dad. My dad will beat up your dad. Na na, na, na na.

Speaker 2:

Oh that it just was like oh, my goodness, so interesting. What the fuck? I need to think about not paying attention so much. But it's kind of frightening to not pay attention. I don't know what are the right things, what are the wrong things to do in life. Or the smell of it, yep, good old salt and pepper. Oh man, I had lost a. I had a good high there for a minute. I kind of lost it in my thoughts. Oh well, I'm going to jump off. I don't want to take a whole lot of time with my stupidity, but I'm trying to get back, get moving, and I know I've said it again, I don't want to say it anymore. So, because I don't want to sound like I don't know what it is to do, but I don't know what to do, but fuck it, we're going to jump into it, take care to sound like I don't know what it is to do, but I guess I don't know what to do. But fuck it, we're going to jump into it, take care.
