00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000
Misenthrope, radio.

00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:05.600
Pissie, piss-mongering, fucking piss-pot of the damned.

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:07.800
Misenthrope, radio.

00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:11.200
International cream-corn fuck-hedory.

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:12.600
Misenthrope, radio.

00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:14.200
Simply a dirty Jew.

00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:16.200
Misenthrope, radio.

00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:19.000
And as the young man knew full well,

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.000
chicken-fried steak couldn't fuck back.

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.000
All it could do was be delicious.

00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.800
Misenthrope, radio starts now.

00:00:32.390 --> 00:00:36.590
Welcome to episode eight of Misenthrope, radio.

00:00:36.590 --> 00:00:41.390
You know, I don't really do current events on this podcast.

00:00:41.390 --> 00:00:43.990
I don't know if you've noticed or not.

00:00:43.990 --> 00:00:47.990
I kind of envisioned Misenthrope, radio as not only therapy for me

00:00:47.990 --> 00:00:50.190
to keep me from losing my fucking mind,

00:00:50.190 --> 00:00:57.990
but also as kind of a place where you can go where everybody knows your name.

00:00:58.790 --> 00:01:01.590
And there always glad you came.

00:01:01.590 --> 00:01:07.390
A show you can download to kind of escape from fucking reality

00:01:07.390 --> 00:01:11.390
and maybe take a little bit of a cruise through unreality.

00:01:11.390 --> 00:01:15.590
Because the suckiness of the real fucking world is everywhere you turn.

00:01:15.590 --> 00:01:16.790
It's everywhere you look.

00:01:16.790 --> 00:01:19.390
There's no safe fucking place to hide anymore.

00:01:19.390 --> 00:01:21.790
Not even on Twitter or X or whatever they call it.

00:01:21.790 --> 00:01:22.790
I'm gonna call it Twitter.

00:01:22.790 --> 00:01:25.190
If his mama named him Twitter, I'm gonna call him Twitter.

00:01:25.190 --> 00:01:28.990
Twitter, television, late-night TV, Saturday Night Live.

00:01:28.990 --> 00:01:30.990
Look, there's no fucking place to go.

00:01:31.190 --> 00:01:36.190
There's no place to go now just to kind of fucking escape from the dog

00:01:36.190 --> 00:01:53.510
shit that

00:01:53.510 --> 00:01:56.310
I'm gonna do something I don't normally do.

00:01:56.310 --> 00:02:00.310
In the case of Ozzy Osborne, I'm gonna talk about current events.

00:02:00.310 --> 00:02:05.310
I can't think of a single artist that I would do this for.

00:02:05.310 --> 00:02:09.310
And that sounds really fucking arrogant to say like, who am I?

00:02:09.310 --> 00:02:10.310
You know what I mean?

00:02:10.310 --> 00:02:12.310
He was Ozzy fucking Osborne.

00:02:12.310 --> 00:02:16.310
Who am I to say I wouldn't do a tribute for any other artist, but I wouldn't.

00:02:16.310 --> 00:02:19.310
If that comes across as country and egotistical,

00:02:19.310 --> 00:02:21.910
it is not meant that way at all.

00:02:21.910 --> 00:02:26.710
It's just like I tried to explain at the very beginning,

00:02:26.710 --> 00:02:31.710
I have definite ideas about what Missing Throat Radio should and should not be

00:02:31.710 --> 00:02:37.710
talking about the passing of a musician was never going to make its way

00:02:37.710 --> 00:02:40.710
onto Missing Throat Radio.

00:02:40.710 --> 00:02:43.710
Or so I thought until Ozzy Osborne passed.

00:02:43.710 --> 00:02:47.710
And I didn't even realize how much it would kick me in the fucking dick

00:02:47.710 --> 00:02:50.510
until I read this story.

00:02:50.510 --> 00:02:52.510
And you saw the way you went out.

00:02:52.510 --> 00:02:59.010
He sucked it up, fucking tamped down all of the pain and the fucking shaking

00:02:59.010 --> 00:03:04.210
and all of the bullshit and all of the indignities that he had to go through

00:03:04.210 --> 00:03:08.910
at the end of his life and got up on that fucking stage one more time

00:03:08.910 --> 00:03:14.310
with his friends and performed for his fans.

00:03:14.310 --> 00:03:17.510
Sure they turned it into a charity thing and made a whole bunch of money

00:03:17.510 --> 00:03:19.710
for some really worthy causes.

00:03:19.710 --> 00:03:26.510
Sure it was an opportunity for artists to pay tribute to Ozzy and Black Sabbath.

00:03:26.510 --> 00:03:28.510
That was kind of a cool thing too.

00:03:28.510 --> 00:03:35.210
But the main attraction don't get that fucked up was Ozzy and Geeser, Tony and Bill

00:03:35.210 --> 00:03:37.910
getting on stage one last time and doing it.

00:03:38.010 --> 00:03:44.710
Ozzy was relegated to a chair, a very opulent chair to be sure,

00:03:44.710 --> 00:03:49.710
but he was relegated to a chair and you could see he didn't have long.

00:03:49.710 --> 00:03:52.710
It was one of the most gangster fucking things I've ever seen.

00:03:52.710 --> 00:03:54.710
Think about this for a moment.

00:03:54.710 --> 00:04:00.210
Name another fucking artist who would get on stage at the very end of their

00:04:00.210 --> 00:04:05.910
life and go hard as a motherfucker like he did just to say goodbye to his fans.

00:04:05.910 --> 00:04:07.210
It's fucking cool.

00:04:07.310 --> 00:04:09.310
I mean, it really is.

00:04:09.310 --> 00:04:14.010
I'm not going to turn this into a drippy fucking veg cry fest over Ozzy Osborne.

00:04:14.010 --> 00:04:19.110
All I'm going to say is this 1991 when the no more tears album came out.

00:04:19.110 --> 00:04:23.810
I know you're Ozzy and Black Sabbath purists are going to point to specific records

00:04:23.810 --> 00:04:26.510
earlier on and say that that's especially a fuck all that.

00:04:26.510 --> 00:04:27.410
I don't care about that.

00:04:27.410 --> 00:04:33.010
We can fucking measure Dix and talk about what influence and all of that fucking

00:04:33.010 --> 00:04:34.710
bullshit later.

00:04:34.810 --> 00:04:40.810
What I'm telling you is that for me in 1991 when the no more tears album came out.

00:04:40.910 --> 00:04:44.710
I didn't fucking have anything or any one.

00:04:44.910 --> 00:04:47.010
All I fucking had was music.

00:04:47.210 --> 00:04:48.810
I had bad friends.

00:04:48.810 --> 00:04:53.510
I was a fucking unfuckable nerd and music is all I fucking had.

00:04:53.510 --> 00:04:56.610
That album that CD was fucking important to me.

00:04:56.610 --> 00:04:58.610
The no more tears album.

00:04:58.610 --> 00:05:02.010
That was one of the CDs that got me through that fucking year.

00:05:02.010 --> 00:05:04.510
That was a fucking awful year.

00:05:04.610 --> 00:05:06.310
Okay, that's enough emotion.

00:05:06.310 --> 00:05:09.810
I'm going to do something right now that I'm not supposed to do.

00:05:09.810 --> 00:05:14.110
It's something that I thought I would never do on missing through a radio.

00:05:14.110 --> 00:05:18.610
And I'm definitely not supposed to fucking do it as a podcaster.

00:05:18.610 --> 00:05:21.910
I'm going to play a song in its entirety.

00:05:21.910 --> 00:05:23.810
And if I get in trouble, then I get in trouble.

00:05:23.810 --> 00:05:28.410
This is Ozzy Osborne and his band performing at a live show.

00:05:28.410 --> 00:05:32.410
As an encore, I believe my mom coming home.

00:05:32.510 --> 00:05:34.510
Off and no more tears album.

00:05:34.510 --> 00:05:40.720
Yeah, that's what you're going to sing along with me, man.

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:45.520
Okay, it's a song called, my love I'm going home.

00:05:45.520 --> 00:06:05.070
Time's a strange, here I come.

00:06:05.070 --> 00:06:17.960
But time flies, it seems to be.

00:06:17.960 --> 00:06:45.040
You could have been a better friend to me.

00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:51.240
You told me lies, but I can't stand to say goodbye.

00:06:59.410 --> 00:07:03.310
I could have been a better friend to me.

00:07:03.310 --> 00:09:56.680
Rest in peace, sir.

00:09:56.680 --> 00:09:59.880
Ozzy Osborne, the Prince of Darkness.

00:09:59.880 --> 00:10:00.880
Thank you.

00:10:02.380 --> 00:10:08.520
Holy shit, it's the devil.

00:10:08.520 --> 00:10:12.420
I don't know of a respectful way to ask this, but what the fuck are you doing here?

00:10:12.420 --> 00:10:15.020
Prince of fucking Darkness indeed.

00:10:15.020 --> 00:10:15.820
What?

00:10:15.820 --> 00:10:17.120
Ozzy?

00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.420
Yeah, he went by the Prince of Darkness.

00:10:19.420 --> 00:10:23.020
Prince of fucking Darkness, as if.

00:10:23.020 --> 00:10:25.420
Satan, what are you talking about?

00:10:25.420 --> 00:10:31.720
Everybody wants to be in a Prince of fucking Darkness until the going gets a little bit tough.

00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:34.720
And then they go off and find Jesus.

00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:35.220
What?

00:10:35.220 --> 00:10:39.720
Are you talking about him getting right with God before he passed away?

00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.920
Do you have a fucking problem with that?

00:10:41.920 --> 00:10:43.920
Do I have a problem with it?

00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:48.220
I've been feeding him bitches and cocaine since the 70s.

00:10:48.220 --> 00:10:52.420
He was working in a fucking meat packing plant when I found him.

00:10:52.520 --> 00:10:54.820
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.

00:10:54.820 --> 00:11:02.620
He was working in a fucking meat packing plant, blowing up Calvin China's like balloons and kicking them all over the inside of the facility.

00:11:02.620 --> 00:11:09.620
I found him, realized his potential and set him on the path of rock and roll startup.

00:11:09.620 --> 00:11:17.820
So, okay, Satan, I understand that you're trying to take credit for the success of Ozzy Osborne.

00:11:17.820 --> 00:11:22.220
Can anybody deny that black Sabbath wasn't entirely mine?

00:11:23.220 --> 00:11:24.420
I spoon fed him bitches.

00:11:24.420 --> 00:11:26.420
I spoon fed him cocaine.

00:11:26.420 --> 00:11:28.820
I spoon fed him inspiration.

00:11:28.820 --> 00:11:34.020
I encouraged him to go out on his own and leave those fucking Sabbath losers behind.

00:11:34.020 --> 00:11:39.220
And you are talking about taking fucking lemons and making lemonade when he tried to kill Sharon.

00:11:39.220 --> 00:11:41.820
I helped him pin his greatest hit.

00:11:41.820 --> 00:11:44.820
The closest he's ever come to mainstream success.

00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:46.020
It was all me.

00:11:46.020 --> 00:11:48.620
Okay, but what's the bottom line here, Lucifer?

00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:52.620
Are you saying that you're asked her that he got right with Jesus before he died?

00:11:52.620 --> 00:11:55.820
What I'm saying is I did my part.

00:11:55.820 --> 00:12:02.220
He wanted fame, he wanted start on, he wanted bitches, he wanted drugs, he wanted an opulent lifestyle,

00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:06.420
he wanted everyone to love him even though he couldn't carry a tune in a fucking bucket.

00:12:06.420 --> 00:12:07.620
I did that.

00:12:07.620 --> 00:12:08.220
Me.

00:12:08.220 --> 00:12:13.220
And when it came time to pay me what I was owed, he ran away to Jesus.

00:12:13.220 --> 00:12:15.620
Dad fucking damn it.

00:12:15.620 --> 00:12:17.420
If I can't catch a break.

00:12:17.420 --> 00:12:20.620
Sure I've got all your garden variety fucking losers.

00:12:20.620 --> 00:12:24.620
I've got the people who fucking abuse children and skip out on child support.

00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:26.020
I get all those.

00:12:26.020 --> 00:12:27.620
But I really wanted Ozzy.

00:12:27.620 --> 00:12:29.620
I feel like I deserved Ozzy.

00:12:29.620 --> 00:12:32.220
I had Ozzy come and I did the legwork.

00:12:32.220 --> 00:12:33.620
I acted in good faith.

00:12:33.620 --> 00:12:36.620
I played my fucking part and he fucked me.

00:12:36.620 --> 00:12:38.620
He fucked me right at the end.

00:12:38.620 --> 00:12:40.220
This is bullshit.

00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:41.420
Dad damn it.

00:12:41.420 --> 00:12:42.420
Okay.

00:12:43.420 --> 00:12:46.620
Sure, I understand where you're coming from.

00:12:46.620 --> 00:12:53.220
But look at it from the perspective of just a mere mortal human if you can for a minute.

00:12:53.220 --> 00:12:54.220
Go ahead.

00:12:54.220 --> 00:12:56.020
I'm all fucking used.

00:12:56.020 --> 00:12:58.020
Let me just put it this way.

00:12:58.020 --> 00:13:04.020
There is honestly nothing more terrifying than the thought of spending an eternity being

00:13:04.020 --> 00:13:08.020
flayed and fucking tormented in hell.

00:13:08.020 --> 00:13:10.020
Oh, dad damn it.

00:13:10.020 --> 00:13:11.020
Here we go.

00:13:11.020 --> 00:13:12.620
No, no, no, no you had your shot.

00:13:12.620 --> 00:13:14.820
Now give me give me a minute to explain.

00:13:14.820 --> 00:13:27.600
The great thing about being a Christian as Ozzy was towards the end of his life.

00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:29.000
The great thing.

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:33.800
The great thing about being a Christian as Ozzy was towards the end of his life is you're

00:13:33.800 --> 00:13:40.000
just one prayer away from being redeemed and having your I think and it's the quote is

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:45.200
something like having your sins thrown throne as far as the east is from the west.

00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:50.400
So with that knowledge in hand, can you really blame him for getting right with the

00:13:50.400 --> 00:13:58.100
Lord before passing away if the alternative is his sole eternal soul by the way going to

00:13:58.100 --> 00:14:02.200
you and being tormented for all eternity?

00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:08.800
No, I mean, yeah, I guess I see what you're saying, but I acted honorably and in my defense

00:14:08.800 --> 00:14:11.600
why on hell does definitely suck.

00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.200
It's not the lava and flame suck scape that everyone thinks it is.

00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.800
Okay, yeah, but that's not what it says in the Bible.

00:14:18.800 --> 00:14:23.400
The fucking Bible how the hell would they know they've never even been there anyway fuck all

00:14:23.400 --> 00:14:24.400
this shit.

00:14:24.400 --> 00:14:26.800
I'm going on a coast to coast media blitz Lorenzo.

00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:30.200
I'm going to tell everyone who will listen that I got fucking screwed.

00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:33.400
I gave that motherfucker everything he asked for.

00:14:33.400 --> 00:14:37.400
And you know what I didn't give him what I protected him from and think about this.

00:14:37.400 --> 00:14:40.400
He's been fucking random bitches since the 70s.

00:14:40.400 --> 00:14:42.000
I didn't give him hobbies.

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:43.500
He did not get hobbies.

00:14:43.500 --> 00:14:45.200
I held up my fucking into the Morgan.

00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.600
I did my job and I deserved that fucking soul.

00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:49.800
That's all I'm saying.

00:14:49.800 --> 00:14:52.600
I'm tired of you to fuck last minute redemption.

00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:53.600
Fuck you.

00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.800
So I mean, when you put it like that, I guess you were owed.

00:14:56.800 --> 00:14:59.600
Oh, I was owed and I am fucking furious.

00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.200
I'm never going to get over this.

00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:03.800
This is just as bad as Elvis.

00:15:03.800 --> 00:15:06.400
Elvis, are you saying you didn't get Elvis either?

00:15:06.400 --> 00:15:07.400
Fuck no.

00:15:07.400 --> 00:15:12.960
As he was dying on the toilet, he fucking had one hand braced on the wall, one hand braced

00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:17.960
on the side of the toilet and he looked up with sweat pouring down his face and I was crawling

00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:19.160
up the fucking pipes.

00:15:19.160 --> 00:15:25.360
I was crawling up the pipes almost to his asshole and I was going to reach up that big fucking

00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:28.560
greasy rock and roll ass and get that soul.

00:15:28.560 --> 00:15:32.560
And he cried out his last fucking words and nobody knows this because they weren't there

00:15:32.560 --> 00:15:33.560
but I was.

00:15:33.560 --> 00:15:34.560
No shit.

00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:35.560
What were his last words?

00:15:35.560 --> 00:15:36.560
What were Elvis's last words?

00:15:36.560 --> 00:15:39.560
His last words were God forgive me.

00:15:39.560 --> 00:15:40.560
Fuck.

00:15:40.560 --> 00:15:42.560
You gotta be fucking kidding me.

00:15:42.560 --> 00:15:45.360
I just turned around and went right back down the hill.

00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.160
I am tired of getting fucked by these musicians.

00:15:48.160 --> 00:15:50.360
I'm getting out of the entertainment business altogether.

00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.960
These guys can fucking sink or swim on their own.

00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:54.960
I'm going to focus on the politicians.

00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.960
Last minute redemption wouldn't even cross their fucking minds.

00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:00.160
Okay, well shit.

00:16:00.160 --> 00:16:02.160
I feel like I should ask you some questions.

00:16:02.160 --> 00:16:06.160
I mean, how many opportunities am I going to have to interview the devil?

00:16:06.160 --> 00:16:07.360
No, no questions.

00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:08.360
Fuck off.

00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:10.560
On my way to someone more popular.

00:16:10.560 --> 00:16:11.560
Love you Lorenzo.

00:16:11.560 --> 00:16:12.560
Love you love you show.

00:16:12.560 --> 00:16:14.560
I'll see you in about 18 years.

00:16:14.560 --> 00:16:15.560
Wait, what?

00:16:15.560 --> 00:16:16.560
18 years?

00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:17.560
What?

00:16:17.560 --> 00:16:18.560
No, no, no, no, no, no, don't fucking leave.

00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:19.560
What do you mean 18 years?

00:16:19.560 --> 00:16:21.560
What do you mean 18 years?

00:16:21.560 --> 00:16:23.560
Son of a bitch.

00:16:23.560 --> 00:16:25.560
18 years.

00:16:25.560 --> 00:16:27.560
Fucking hell.

00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:28.560
Thanks, Satan.

00:16:28.560 --> 00:16:29.560
Asshole.

00:16:29.560 --> 00:16:31.560
I'll be 68.

00:16:31.560 --> 00:16:33.760
Fucking, I don't want to die at 68.

00:16:33.760 --> 00:16:34.760
I thought I'd at.

00:16:34.760 --> 00:16:35.960
At least make it to 75.

00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.560
I've been fairly healthy most of my life.

00:16:38.560 --> 00:16:39.560
Anyway.

00:17:10.560 --> 00:17:11.560
And I was working.

00:17:11.560 --> 00:17:13.320
Back in the day when I was in radio, I noticed everything all the time.

00:17:13.320 --> 00:17:14.560
And I made notes of everything.

00:17:14.560 --> 00:17:16.160
And I would talk about stuff.

00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.480
And I would extrapolate and roll things over in my fucking mind.

00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:21.680
And no detail ever got past me.

00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:25.600
And it was fucking maddening a lot of times.

00:17:25.600 --> 00:17:28.440
Because I notice everything.

00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:29.880
All the time.

00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.160
Incidentally, radio people make the worst fucking podcasters.

00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:39.520
Have you ever heard a podcast that was done by a radio person that didn't suck?

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.640
I don't understand it.

00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:47.520
My personal theory is that radio people can't handle a blank canvas.

00:17:47.520 --> 00:17:49.720
Well, you know what I mean?

00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:53.960
Sitting down and hitting the record button without something prompting you or some kind

00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:58.520
of format clock to tell you what to say and when to say it just completely blows their

00:17:58.520 --> 00:17:59.520
fucking mind.

00:17:59.520 --> 00:18:01.920
But they think, oh, I've got a radio voice.

00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:03.920
I can fucking talk.

00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:04.920
It'll be great.

00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:13.080
And all my fucking fans will follow me over here onto the podcast side.

00:18:13.080 --> 00:18:14.080
Done really worked that way.

00:18:14.080 --> 00:18:15.640
And I think they're finding that out.

00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:19.240
So hopefully all the radio people will just fuck off.

00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:20.240
Get out of the way.

00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:23.440
Well, that I went in the Navy and then I joined the civilian sector.

00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:27.960
And I've gotten bored and I decided I'm really going to fucking lean into that casting

00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:28.960
thing.

00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:33.880
So I flipped that fucking switch in my head where I notice everything again now.

00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:39.000
And a lot of the problems that I have and things that I run into and stuff that fucking

00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:45.160
really really irritates me are things that are not really that big a deal.

00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.720
Most folks wouldn't even fucking notice them because they've got their fucking blinders

00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:49.720
on.

00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:53.400
But again, that switch has been flipped in my head.

00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:57.920
And now I notice everything again, whether I want to or not.

00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:03.680
For example, the other day I was trying to have a nice lunch at Arby's and I walk in

00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.840
that's just one fucking guy and his wife at the fucking counter.

00:19:07.840 --> 00:19:08.840
No big deal.

00:19:08.840 --> 00:19:10.200
Arby's is never crazy.

00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:11.200
Busy.

00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:12.200
It's like you go to McDonald's.

00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.080
You can wait 20 minutes just to have somebody even look your direction.

00:19:15.080 --> 00:19:16.080
Right?

00:19:16.080 --> 00:19:19.800
If they fucking have people working at the counters at all.

00:19:19.800 --> 00:19:24.680
More often than not now, these McDonald's and Taco Bells, you can just go fuck yourself.

00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:28.360
Use our mobile key ask thing or use the app.

00:19:28.360 --> 00:19:29.360
Eat a dick.

00:19:29.360 --> 00:19:31.080
We're not even trying to talk to you.

00:19:31.080 --> 00:19:32.600
Arby's hasn't got there yet.

00:19:32.600 --> 00:19:37.080
Arby's still has somebody working the counter and I love me some fucking Arby's.

00:19:37.080 --> 00:19:38.760
I mean, they have the fucking meats.

00:19:38.760 --> 00:19:40.080
Enough said.

00:19:40.080 --> 00:19:42.400
So I walk in there and I'm thinking French dip.

00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:43.400
That's what I'm going with today.

00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:49.360
I'm going with the French dip and I want the curly fries and a large unsweet tea and

00:19:49.360 --> 00:19:53.880
I'm going to get no fewer than five cups of their fucking sauces.

00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:55.600
I like two horsey sauces.

00:19:55.600 --> 00:20:00.720
I want one Arby sauce that three pepper hot sauce that they have, which is incidentally the

00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.160
best hot sauce.

00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:06.200
I've ever had and then the other one will be a fucking surprise of no idea.

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:07.200
Maybe it's honey mustard.

00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:08.200
I don't know.

00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:09.200
We'll see.

00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:10.200
Maybe it could just be ketchup.

00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:13.240
I'm running through all this shit in my mind as I go in there.

00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:14.240
Right?

00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:21.080
And I'm standing there behind this couple and I notice the guy and I look him up and down

00:20:21.080 --> 00:20:22.080
real quick.

00:20:22.080 --> 00:20:25.720
He's wearing a pink t-shirt.

00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:31.960
He's wearing jeans shorts and he's wearing strappy sandals and I go,個 shit.

00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:37.280
And then I get to look in his head and I realize this guy is probably late fifties.

00:20:37.280 --> 00:20:45.800
Weak chin, narrow shoulders, small arms, small sweaty looking hands, no visible tattoos,

00:20:45.800 --> 00:20:50.240
neatly manicured, very thin beard.

00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:51.400
Fuck me.

00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:53.800
This is not what I need today.

00:20:53.800 --> 00:20:56.400
And he didn't disappoint.

00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:58.560
I'm going to call him Stanley.

00:20:58.560 --> 00:21:01.720
I don't know that that's his name but he looks like a Stanley.

00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:06.400
But the man that I just described to you did Stanley just pop in your fucking head

00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:11.840
because Stanley popped in mind and Stanley was always going to be a problem.

00:21:11.840 --> 00:21:15.600
He was never going to not be a problem everywhere he goes.

00:21:15.600 --> 00:21:17.640
Stanley's a fucking problem.

00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:22.880
So as I'm standing there and I give Stanley the up and down again the strappy fucking

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:28.800
sandals, no visible tattoos, narrow shoulders, close cropped but slightly unkempt full head

00:21:28.800 --> 00:21:30.200
of hair.

00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:36.360
Old thin fucking beard that runs across his weak jaw, very prevalent Adam Zappel, pink

00:21:36.360 --> 00:21:39.040
shirt, jean shorts.

00:21:39.040 --> 00:21:44.440
As I'm taking in Stanley, I realize that this conversation that he's having with the

00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:02.840
question on the fucking Arby's menu.

00:22:02.840 --> 00:22:08.040
So I'm drinking in the fucking scene with my eyes and my mind is churning and extrapolating

00:22:08.040 --> 00:22:13.440
and then I quiet all that down because I gotta know what's going on.

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:15.680
Why the hell is this order taking so long?

00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:19.360
Is he ordering for a football team that I'm unaware of?

00:22:19.360 --> 00:22:24.560
You know what exactly is going on with Stanley and the wife that is taking so long at this

00:22:24.560 --> 00:22:26.360
fucking counter?

00:22:26.360 --> 00:22:33.400
So I take a step forward and I kind of turn to the side so I can listen in on the conversation.

00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:43.020
And what I hear is pretty much what you would expect a Stanley to be doing at an Arby's

00:22:43.020 --> 00:22:44.580
counter.

00:22:44.580 --> 00:22:48.260
Stanley needs to know from whence the beef came.

00:22:48.260 --> 00:22:51.180
Stanley needs to know how the beef is prepared.

00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:57.300
Stanley needs to know if it's sous vide or if it is roasted or what, how exactly Arby's

00:22:57.300 --> 00:23:02.660
is preparing their roast beef sandwiches and then he needs to know about triglycerides

00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:04.660
and monopeptides.

00:23:04.660 --> 00:23:11.220
Stanley's gotta know about the molecular composition of Arby's roast beef before he feels comfortable

00:23:11.220 --> 00:23:14.420
enough to order himself a fucking sandwich.

00:23:14.420 --> 00:23:20.620
Stanley's wife is just standing to the side watching the scene play out as Stanley Peppers,

00:23:20.620 --> 00:23:27.220
the young lady behind the counter and really tests her knowledge of the menu.

00:23:27.220 --> 00:23:31.820
The young lady by the way couldn't have been a day over 18 and she eventually has enough

00:23:31.820 --> 00:23:37.460
of Stanley and is obviously very flustered and she has never had to deal with the line of

00:23:37.460 --> 00:23:40.780
questioning like this before and why fucking would she?

00:23:40.780 --> 00:23:41.780
Why would she?

00:23:41.780 --> 00:23:43.180
Why would she have to deal with this?

00:23:43.180 --> 00:23:45.900
It's a fucking Arby's, okay?

00:23:45.900 --> 00:23:48.220
We're at a fucking Arby's Stanley.

00:23:48.220 --> 00:23:53.820
So eventually she says hang on just a minute and she goes and gets her manager.

00:23:53.820 --> 00:23:57.660
Stanley is only too happy to wait for the manager.

00:23:57.660 --> 00:24:03.160
The manager comes up, Stanley gives her the quick up and down and honestly in his defense

00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:08.980
there's a whole lot of this woman to see and Stanley starts coming at her about the protein

00:24:08.980 --> 00:24:16.060
content of Arby's roast beef and is it actually roast beef and if it is roast beef what part

00:24:16.060 --> 00:24:18.020
of the cow are we using?

00:24:18.020 --> 00:24:19.820
Why is there no fat ribbon?

00:24:19.820 --> 00:24:26.240
He wants to know everything about the fucking Arby's roast beef sandwich and as I'm standing

00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:32.900
there watching this fucking scene play out I'm growing more irritated and more irritated

00:24:32.900 --> 00:24:38.340
and more irritated I've lost interest in listening to Stanley Pepper the fucking management

00:24:38.340 --> 00:24:45.020
with questions my interest in the entire process has waned and now my mind is starting to move

00:24:45.020 --> 00:24:48.340
down the pathway to murder.

00:24:48.340 --> 00:24:52.220
When I start envisioning all the ways in my mind that I can fucking kill Stanley right

00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:53.620
there in that line.

00:24:53.620 --> 00:24:58.580
The line that began as Stanley his wife and I is now going all the way out the fucking

00:24:58.580 --> 00:25:04.560
door because Stanley is incapable of just ordering a goddamn sandwich and going and sitting

00:25:04.560 --> 00:25:05.560
down.

00:25:05.560 --> 00:25:11.040
You fucking narrow-shouldered pussy and I finally settle on chainsaw in my mind while I'm

00:25:11.040 --> 00:25:14.740
waiting for Stanley to fucking get around to finally ordering his food.

00:25:14.740 --> 00:25:19.460
I have gone back out to the fucking toolbox and my truck reached in pulled by fucking chainsaw

00:25:19.460 --> 00:25:25.740
out primed it lit it off come back inside everyone else in line sees what's getting

00:25:25.740 --> 00:25:30.020
ready to happen and they fucking scatter that please empties out in less than ten seconds

00:25:30.020 --> 00:25:36.460
and I just begin carving fucking Stanley into small manageable pieces right in front of

00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:58.820
the shocked fucking restaurant staff and his god damn wife and about the time I'm ready

00:25:58.820 --> 00:26:03.660
to turn and take a step and go out to my truck to retrieve my chainsaw.

00:26:03.660 --> 00:26:09.180
Stanley finally places his order, quickly pays and thankfully fucks off to the dining

00:26:09.180 --> 00:26:10.500
room.

00:26:10.500 --> 00:26:13.340
Crisis thankfully averted.

00:26:13.340 --> 00:26:18.820
The next source of irritation and as it turns out near miss came at another restaurant actually

00:26:18.820 --> 00:26:22.060
later on in the week I was at a Chinese buffet.

00:26:22.060 --> 00:26:27.260
I don't know about where you're from but where I'm from Chinese buffets are a big thing and

00:26:27.260 --> 00:26:32.620
when I say big thing I mean big people go to them in a dining room that should be able

00:26:32.620 --> 00:26:39.860
to sit 200 it really only sits about 50 wide backs.

00:26:39.860 --> 00:26:46.140
These wide back sausage finger motherfuckers just pile in there every single one of them even

00:26:46.140 --> 00:26:51.660
the worst fucking Chinese buffet joint is gonna have a fucking line of people standing at

00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:53.340
that fucking feed trough.

00:26:53.540 --> 00:27:00.340
Anyway I was at a Chinese buffet being a man of some size myself I love me a good trough

00:27:00.340 --> 00:27:06.300
and again here is where the fact that I now notice everything is fucking my life up.

00:27:06.300 --> 00:27:10.540
I'm standing there waiting to get to the fried rice now what I like to do is I like

00:27:10.540 --> 00:27:16.340
to put a thin layer of fried rice along the bottom and then go to each one of the entrees

00:27:16.340 --> 00:27:23.340
and side dishes and pile them on top into a great big mound of air quotes Chinese food

00:27:23.340 --> 00:27:28.940
and then sit down with chopsticks and you know delicately eat one piece at a time off

00:27:28.940 --> 00:27:35.780
the top until I'm down to the rice which has been thoroughly seasoned and inundated with

00:27:35.780 --> 00:27:41.980
the melange of fucking sauces from all of the different things that I piled on top of

00:27:41.980 --> 00:27:43.300
it.

00:27:43.300 --> 00:27:48.220
That's how I like to enjoy my Chinese buffet so I'm standing there waiting to get to the

00:27:48.220 --> 00:27:53.300
fried rice and that's when I noticed the people ahead of me it's this lady this care

00:27:53.300 --> 00:28:01.460
worn fucking lady and a knee length jeans skirt floral print blouse and flip flops a little

00:28:01.460 --> 00:28:07.660
bit heavy set but not fat by any stretch of the imagination she has her unkempt hair

00:28:07.660 --> 00:28:14.220
and an unkempt pile on top of her unkempt head she is scurrying and harried half hunched

00:28:14.220 --> 00:28:21.100
over running around behind what can only be described as a little bastard this fucking

00:28:21.100 --> 00:28:25.820
kid can't be a day over six years old and he is running up and down the fucking buffet

00:28:25.820 --> 00:28:31.580
line sticking his hand in each one of the entrees and pulling bits of whatever he might

00:28:31.580 --> 00:28:37.420
want out of it and depositing it on the plate that she's holding that sucks right that

00:28:37.420 --> 00:28:46.220
so now the rest of us are put into a position when we walk up to the

00:28:46.220 --> 00:28:51.260
mougu guy pan that we watch that little cock sucker just put his fucking dick beater in the middle of

00:28:51.260 --> 00:28:57.180
do we flatly refuse to take any food out of that pan it's a Chinese restaurant after all

00:28:57.180 --> 00:29:02.940
ran by actual Chinese people these motherfuckers are not going to change that pan out until it's gone

00:29:02.940 --> 00:29:08.620
you can go fuck yourself and your hygiene standards that's not racial insensitivity that is a

00:29:08.620 --> 00:29:14.540
fucking fact and you know it because their idea of what's hygienic and our idea of what's hygienic

00:29:14.540 --> 00:29:20.460
are way fucking different polar opposites you walk in the back of a Chinese restaurant right now

00:29:20.460 --> 00:29:25.740
there is a very good chance that there's going to be some fucking old lady with no bra a sundress

00:29:25.740 --> 00:29:32.060
on a no panties sitting on the floor cutting fucking chicken with a cleaver it's not a bad bet

00:29:32.060 --> 00:29:36.860
so you have a choice are you gonna flatly refuse to eat the mougu guy pan knowing that it will not

00:29:36.860 --> 00:29:42.220
be replaced or are you just gonna fucking take the spoon and just kind of go along the outside edge

00:29:42.220 --> 00:29:47.020
of it well that's obviously what everyone is doing right they're just kind of following behind

00:29:47.020 --> 00:29:52.060
this little cock sucker and tiptoeing through the fucking carnage okay so that sucks but that's not

00:29:52.060 --> 00:30:00.620
what really got me cranked up what really got me upset was the look the look on that harried fucking

00:30:00.620 --> 00:30:07.740
exasperryd mother's face when she made eye contact with me she looks up at me her little fucking bastard

00:30:07.740 --> 00:30:13.740
child is scurrying towards me with fucking food all over his hands she's following behind him

00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:20.780
hunched over with his plate as he's depositing shit onto it with his hands and the look that she

00:30:20.780 --> 00:30:29.420
gives me nearly sent me spiraling into a murderous fucking rage and you've seen the look I know you have

00:30:29.420 --> 00:30:35.500
everyone seen the look the moment she gave me the look I'm getting ready to describe to you I

00:30:35.500 --> 00:30:42.380
knew that I'd seen it before I'd seen it hundreds of times before on the faces of harried mothers

00:30:42.540 --> 00:30:50.060
and pussy whipped fucking house husbands I've seen it over and over and over again this bitch was

00:30:50.060 --> 00:30:58.700
just the latest in a long line the look is this she was hunched over she looked up at me with these

00:30:58.700 --> 00:31:07.420
care worn eyes almost pleading but also amused this half smile on her face one of her shoulders

00:31:07.420 --> 00:31:15.260
kind of shrugged and her head tilted a little bit to the side that look right there is meant to say

00:31:15.820 --> 00:31:22.060
what are you gonna do it takes a village right he won't be this small forever I do what I can

00:31:22.060 --> 00:31:27.820
we're just getting through it down here pal the look of the perpetual victim like it's not her fault

00:31:27.820 --> 00:31:32.300
that this little cuckseckers running up and down the fucking food trough putting his hand in all of

00:31:32.300 --> 00:31:37.740
the food that everyone has to eat and I stopped in my fucking tracks I don't know how long I stood

00:31:37.740 --> 00:31:43.260
there I saw that fucking look in my mind just started rolling and rolling and rolling and rolling through

00:31:43.260 --> 00:31:50.060
all of the fucking times I've seen that look on somebody's fucking face when the person that they're

00:31:50.060 --> 00:31:57.020
with is doing something outside of what is considered to be okay I've seen that fucking look over

00:31:57.020 --> 00:32:02.220
and over and over and over and over again in my mind is just fucking rolling through and it's

00:32:02.220 --> 00:32:30.040
like a fucking slide

00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:35.360
shit back in my the fucker I don't know how long I stood there playing out the death of this woman

00:32:35.360 --> 00:32:40.720
in my head but I stood there a while I stood there long enough for her and her little bastard to

00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:45.600
have disappeared off somewhere and all of the people that I had been watching fill their plates were

00:32:45.600 --> 00:32:53.040
gone I stood there in a fucking psychotic days for I have no idea how long a long fucking time while

00:32:53.040 --> 00:33:00.080
the scene of me murdering that fucking worthless bitch played out in my fucking head so yeah it's been

00:33:00.080 --> 00:33:06.800
an irritating week in a lot of ways those two examples that I gave Stanley the fucking pussy at

00:33:06.800 --> 00:33:13.680
Arby's and the harried fucking perpetual victim mom at the buffet line were just the most easily

00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:20.160
relatable the most easily quantifiable it's like you hear the story about Stanley you hear the story

00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:27.840
about the mom you may or may not want to actually act out a murder scene when you encounter people

00:33:27.840 --> 00:33:35.040
like this I don't know how fucking common that is if you don't a whatever man to each their own for me

00:33:35.040 --> 00:33:42.400
I envision murdering them but I think you can relate the rest of the shit is not as easy to quantify

00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:48.480
anyway I could go on all day I'm not gonna fucking ramble on anymore let's just go ahead and close

00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:55.360
this bitch out now show notes I'm really worried about going back and listening to that Aussie bit

00:33:56.080 --> 00:34:04.080
a gotta be honest with you I'm concerned because Aussie Osborne was very important to me and you

00:34:04.080 --> 00:34:10.080
know the Satan thing that I did there in the Aussie Osborne bit was supposed to just be kind of silly

00:34:10.080 --> 00:34:15.040
and ridiculous not necessarily funny but at least a little bit entertaining but I don't want it to

00:34:15.040 --> 00:34:22.320
come across as disrespectful I'm a fucking huge Aussie fan nothing but respect for him nothing but

00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:28.640
respect for his family and I would never want to do anything to make any of those people feel bad

00:34:28.640 --> 00:34:33.680
not that they'd ever hear it let's just I mean let's be honest but I don't want to disrespect

00:34:33.680 --> 00:34:39.520
Aussie Osborne that's that's not the that's not the intention I think he had a pretty good sense

00:34:39.520 --> 00:34:44.320
of humor seem to anyway based on you know what you what you see on TV you never know if that's how

00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:51.680
I don't know but I don't I don't want

00:34:51.680 --> 00:34:57.280
don't want to be disrespectful that's not all I was trying to do anyway thank you for joining us
