And she can keep them. Everything's fine. You got all
that you need Karianna keeper
carrying the keeper for December 1 2021 It's episode one so you
need for a podcast.
I can see you in action right across from me right now.
Fantastic. Oh really? Yeah. This is how this is how the magic is
made.
You're actually sitting there and you're you're kind of you're
glowing. You're looking at me like oh my goodness. Like, oh my
gosh, a star sitting right across from Korea in the keeper.
We have no idea what we're going to do. But we thought it would
be a fun idea to do something.
Yes, Adam course me into doing this. Well, I heard the glass of
wine. Thank you.
Alright, so the idea started and we're off to a great start. As
we were doing winery Wednesdays before the weather got cold. And
we will go to one of the 116 wineries in Hill Country, Texas,
and we were going to you know, basically then come home after
we've had some wine and then do a podcast where we talk about
well, we're gonna we're gonna rate them on what was it?
ambience? ambience? Yes.
Yeah. The wine of course. Yeah, um, the shokudo reboard and the
overall service and hospitality. Yes, yeah. The summer. Yeah,
yes. And we we've done four and we have 112 to go. Yeah.
Yeah, so that didn't happen. Not today. But the art. But the
wineries here are pretty cool, actually.
Yeah, yeah. And there's a variety of them, too. And
they're not just in there all over hill country. They're not
just in Fredericksburg.
So we should we should probably. I don't really know what we're
going to achieve with this. But maybe we'll just just be a fun
chat and people will chime in who knows where we'll go. Yeah.
But But I think we should talk a little bit about hill country
life about leaving Austin. I don't think it's a secret. You
can just set it right there. I don't think it's a secret where
we are. Yeah, everyone kind of knows it is Fredericksburg,
which is not not small. But it's not huge, either.
No, it's Star hollow. If people understand that reference from
Gilmore Girls, exactly. Star hollow. Yeah. Even have a market
market plot.
We do. If you know where Laura Logan lives, then you know, you
can find us I guess.
Yeah, exactly, exactly. But it was the right decision to get
out of Austin. And I think that everything just aligned
perfectly for it to happen.
But we've been here for five months now. How do you feel what
I mean? It's it's very different from from where we were in
southeast Austin, although was nice. We had, you know, nice
house on an acre, which was quite Yeah. Special for Austin.
Yeah. And a very diverse neighborhood to the reason that
we left Austin was because of everything that was happening
there. And I think that you and I didn't really I mean, we
witnessed what was happening, especially with the homeless
situation. But it wasn't until my sister came into town. And
she was shocked. And that kind of opened her eyes. And we were,
we were like, Yeah, you know, and after finding the homeless
camp on our property, like cats, it's time to go. It's time to go
and then things just in the universe to
remember that was at night, someone was just almost walking.
I think we had put a fence up at some point. And someone was
walking bait was still our property, like a whole a whole
part. It was our property. Someone's walking there. Like
hey, you know, what are you doing? Well, I'm just walking
here. Yeah, but this is private property. Well, you're, you
know, you're mean, like voice?
No, I distinctly told them that they better get the hell off of
our property. Remember that?
Girl? Hey, Leanna this right? You are mean? I forgot about?
Yeah.
I'll take any shit. Um, but yeah, I mean, after the after
Lisa came and visited. We were it was it was evident that that
we were just not not happy with what was going on. And I just
one day woke up and said, Hey, how about Fredericksburg. And we
found we I found a house. It was the only house we looked at. And
it was the house that we ended up buying. And we moved here.
And it's been it's been fantastic. I mean,
a little bit about about Austin still because it wasn't it now
it sounds like it was just the homelessness and which by the
way, how about the Dell Foundation, donated $36.6
million to Mobile Loaves and Fishes who community first
village we've been supporting for what? Four years? Five years
now made
fantastic. Yeah, no, yes. I love that. But it wasn't just the
homeless issue. It was
South Austin that was supposed to be all this investment and
they really let it go to shit. I mean, especially during the
lockdown, just like screw it. Anyone east of I 95 You're not
worth it.
It looked like a third world country. And it wasn't only that
it was the noise the constant noise that was happening. It was
the traffic. Yeah,
losing control of all kinds of ordinances.
Well, and you had the city that, that the infrastructure wasn't
built to accommodate the growth.
Are we just old boomers? And maybe
we just got some wine.
Cheers. We just do as old boomers who are just like, hey,
it's 10 o'clock. Well, you are. It's 10 o'clock. I just take my
hearing. I'm done. Oh, here. Yeah,
yeah, I could hear everything like the night that Biden won
the, the Mexicans party till 5:30am.
But I was, I was okay. Well, yeah,
but I had to go to work that didn't work for me.
You guys have your night. That's fine. So it
was a multitude of issues we wanted more land to and so
that's why we we started looking in Spicewood marble Marble Falls
we look
for your your vegetable garden. That's what we wanted more land
or for the Academy. happening. It's happening. Ham radio, and
I'm still I'm still planning on the last house not up
yet. So so yeah. So everything just kind of it. The universe
just opened up. And we just landed here. And I absolutely
love the people there kind I love the fact that there isn't a
lot of traffic. I I just enjoy it. I love our home. I love that
we don't have anybody close to us.
Your whole your whole life changed. Yeah, I mean, our whole
life changed. But you left rmhc Yeah. Which has kind of been,
you know, a while in the working in the works. And you know, so
that's, that's more than just a house change in a neighborhood
change.
Yeah, but I think I've adapted really well. Really, really
well. So yeah, it's comfortable. It's, yeah, I absolutely love
it. The thing that I that is a little disappointing to me for
Fredericksburg is there's no big box stores here. So there's no
target.
There's no point. That's the whole beauty of it is
that sometimes you'd like to just go to Target and just do
San
Antonio.
But I can live with that. I can live with that. And
Fredericksburg is growing. A lot of people are moving here and
more restaurants are
true. Is it? Like where are they? Where are they all in the
outskirts of town? There are expanding its
Yes. It's expanding in the unincorporated areas. A lot of
subdivisions are being built. Oh, yeah. A lot. A lot. So. But
yeah, it's been I think it's been a great transition. And
this is our first Christmas in the house and you want to tell
people what you're doing now? Yeah, I am. I'm in sales. Right
now. I work for a high end furniture boutique. And I love
selling I love selling period. And I'm pretty good at it.
Actually,
this is this is so so good. Because I've always said, If you
want a great salesperson, find someone who works at a
nonprofit. And it's so true, but you actually like you really dig
it. You are like now you're doing long sale. You know,
people come back in like three days for some huge order. Yeah,
I had my highest sale last week, which was some 35,000 Yeah,
sure. Y'all, y'all god. I'm a storyteller. And I'm a
communicator. So I, you know, I talk to people and I get to know
them. And I share my stories, and I develop this relationship
with them. And it turns out, it turns out great, and it's not. I
like the achievement of it. It's not has nothing to do with the
Commission, because the commission is nice, but it's the
achievement of actually closing the sale that I really, really
dig. I really like it. Yeah. Yeah, I should go on and sell
like houses or cars or something. Maybe?
Yeah. Yeah. There's a thought. I don't know about cars. What cars
could do cars is programmatic? Yeah, it's cars a little bit
slimy. You know, you're, you're getting people to finance stuff,
you know, like, hey, you know, we'll finance this. It will wash
your car every time you bring it in. And when you pre finance
that, and all Yeah, I think I kind of slide Yeah,
I just threw that out there. But I think that I'm just surprised
at how much I enjoy the sales experience, how much I really
enjoy achieving it, and exceeding goals. And I just, I
never thought that I would, and I really, really do as long as
you have a good product, right? Yeah. You have to believe in the
product too. Yeah. Well, prior to when I left rmhc I started
working at J Crew in the mall, a clothing store, and I absolutely
loved it there. Loved it and crushed all those
little millennial girls, Zoomer girls just weep. You were
drinking their tears from your coffee cup. Great.
And if they tried to steal sale for me, I was all over them like
white on rice. I was like, not let them get away with it. Get
away with it. For sure. No, and I really liked it and I and I
was able to develop my sales technique of helping people
helping style people. And yeah, it was great. It was great. I
loved it. Even even though you know our friends are all pretty
cool, whether they're, regardless of political
persuasion or any other issues about the difference between
just general life and how people interact with each other in
Austin versus out here.
There seems to be many more like minded people here that realize
that the, there's a lot going on, as opposed to people who are
asleep in Austin. Um, so being surrounded by like minded people
has been easier for me. But in Austin, I mean, we didn't really
see many of our friends and the friends that we did see, we're
we're generally like minded, so but the friends of ours that
think differently, I didn't really get a chance to spend
much time with them in the last two years because of this mess
that we're
in. We've actually had, you know, people that we know from,
from years ago popping up and saying, holy crap, we come out
and chat and yeah, that seems to be that seems to be the hardest
part for people is that they can't talk to many people or
they're afraid to or they don't have any place where they feel
safe enough. They have a safe space to talk about, you know,
just even if it's even if it's questioning certain health,
health regulations, you know,
I would have to say here in Fredericksburg to pretty much
everybody is disappointed in the current administration. Here.
Yeah, they're, they're feeling it. They're feeling it. And I
never I didn't have conversations like that with my
friends in Austin. We'll find we'll find out the Saturday a
bunch of friends are from Austin are coming over and we'll it'll
be interesting to hear their perspective.
Oh, man, I'm not going to talk politics with them. No, no,
absolutely not. I know exactly.
What do you think about those gas prices?
No, no, no, no,
no, but no. I mean, I just the the people here are just nice
and kind. And there's nobody, there's nobody harassing you on
the street. And I mean, the local law enforcement will not
put up with that at all
right? And I like that. It just feels to me like, man, do
whatever you want. Whatever you want. You know, it's like,
nothing seems like a big deal. Like this. No one's looking at
each other's shit all day long. Yeah. And maybe it's just
because it's so few people. There's not enough people to be
looking at you. But yeah, I mean, just a bit like that.
Yeah. In the store, though, where I work. It's a high end
home decor. And there's a lot of furnishings in there and
fabrics. And we do get the occasional drunk bachelorette
that walks in, because Fredericksburg is huge for
bachelorette parties. And so they come in, they have their
open wine. And I have to tell them to put their wine down. And
sometimes they don't like that. But they're usually tourists.
They're not, they're not residents here. So I get the
occasional snarky person like
that. Yeah. And they have no reason to be snarky.
They're drunk. They're drunk.
You can you kind of open container here and in
Fredericksburg,
usually we like a sauce to people because they end up
buying more stuff. Yeah.
I find it amazing how and you're meeting all kinds of
celebrities. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I met Cheryl Ladd. She walked into the store and I'm
looking at her and I turned to her and I said classic move. I
said, has anybody ever told you you look like Cheryl lat? And
she said, I am sure. I got my
How does she look? How does she look? She's what? 70 now
72 She teeny tiny to she looks great. That's a great plastic
surgeon. Looks great. Very natural.
Hold on a second. And we take a look. Let me see. Oh,
Bernie. She lives in Bernie, Texas. Oh, really? Yeah.
She have the brunette hair.
No spawn.
Well, this is fine. I'm just trying to get the she looks a
little bit like Kristen Bell's mom in a way. Yeah. Yeah, I
suppose. Yeah, I was I was not into her as a kid. I'm looking
at some of the old old pictures. She was too scrawny. Skinny,
Tiny. Yes. She's super
tiny. So she came in the store. Shannen Doherty came in the
store with her husband, man, how does she look? You know, she's
been battling breast cancer. So she can't make any fun of her
now. That's all good. Don't. Okay. I mean, she looked like
she does on television.
And she looks a little bit like a younger Roseanne Barr. I'm
just calling one after another here. I mean, this is this is so
obvious what's going on here. Okay. She came in. Just her
face. Not Not anything. Yeah.
Ellen DeGeneres. His makeup artists came in I met her I
actually I actually have her contact information. I want to
be her friend. And then this other woman came in
who is some? Some Ellen dirt? No,
no. She She said that Elon has been very good to her and her
family and I you know, I respect that but I want to be your
friend. Why? Because I liked her. I liked her energy. And
then I met a woman who is very high up at beauty, beauty
counter cosmetics, so she was really nice. Jenna Elfman just
came in from dharma. And Greg, remember that show? I don't know
what she's been to recently. She came in Of course Lara Logan
can't comes in.
See Jenna Elfman. She kind of looks the same, doesn't she?
So I've met more celebs than I have in hill country. And I have
the personal contact information. So
I slide into their DMS. All right. Jack Dorsey DM me.
Yes, I know you showed me so yeah, so it's it's amazing. I
apparently they're I don't know what what did are we let her
tell us that we're between four and six billionaires that live
in Fredericksburg.
No more billionaires in Texas live live in this air in this
direct area than in Dallas, I think. Yeah, it's. Yeah, but you
wouldn't know it. Yeah. Like no bird dog across the way. You
know, he sitting on millions of dollars worth of property or
they're living in his RV? Yeah, yes. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Nice bird dog. Yeah, but it's, it's great. How do you
like it out here?
I fucking love it out here. I really do. I love all the people
that were that we're getting to know because it's pretty basic.
You know? For me, I'm in prepper mode. I'm like, doesn't matter.
If anything's gonna happen. It's fun putting shit together. And
having you know, all these different people that we know.
Yeah, that's, that's nice. Yeah. Yeah, it's really good. Yeah, it
is good. And, you know, like, oh, Texas. Slim wants to have
lunch next week. Okay. Yeah. So people like that. You know,
these are these are they're they're trying to make sure that
certain stuff happens. That will be okay.
Yeah. And yeah, exactly. The people that we've met here have
been really like, they're like of earth people are like,
grounded in the earth plane. Just good. Just goodness.
Yeah, like we so we, we have this like common property.
There's a couple of houses out here share. And this one
beautiful neighbors of ours of ours Dilbert. You know, he was
hanging up Christmas decorations, as I do it every
year. Well,
so that people understand we live in a very small
subdivision, which is what about 16? Lots that range between
three to five acres? Like there's a house? Yeah, maybe
five or six house six houses with the one being built next to
us. So it's super small. So we don't have an HOA, but this this
neighbor of ours Dilbert he takes care of the common area,
and he hung up Christmas decorations and just out of the
goodness of his heart. And that that just yeah, that resonates
with me. I like that.
Well, he's also an expert. So I think he's a Tony versus a
shorba. Yes. Was he they're retired. They were in DC. His
wife was Department of Homeland Security. He was in, like,
finance in the Pentagon or something. I think I think
you're right. I think we need to mind. There's so many military
intelligence people out here. It's not even funny. I know.
There's like, Oh, yeah. That's a guy from Special Forces lives.
There. He goes there and
yeah, yeah. It's crazy. Yeah, yeah. We need to invite Dilbert
over Hey, Dilbert. And Dogbert. Why not?
Do they have homeschools here?
So far removed from that? I have no idea. I would assume they do.
I don't know.
I would just say you never hear about school shootings and
homeschools.
Do you don't
know. What does that tell you? What does that tell you have it
I have not heard. We got to read. We got to reinvent stuff.
We got to reinvent humanity. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
I think that's slowly starting to happen.
I don't know. Although, was it? Dana, Hollywood producer, Dana,
is I don't think his wife doesn't really listen to the
show, Alex. But they were in the car and he was kind of forcing
her to listen and then but he was really into it. She's a
lawyer. And she knew that all the COL Rittenhouse stuff was
all you know, she knew what was going down with the case was but
she hadn't heard the media coverage. Oh, she's like, any
attention to know was I don't think I don't know if she
watches it or not. But she did. She hadn't heard that she hadn't
had heard any of that media coverage. Like holy crap. Is
that what's really going on? Wow. Yeah. So you know, huh. So
it's kind of a reverse. Reverse wakeup, you know,
Mm hm. It's happened a few times with people that wasn't
really that was a really important one. So many people
have said, Oh, hold on. I was you told me that Anna from Young
Turks and was that a clip?
I saw on Twitter. I'm sure there was a there was a clip. I saw it
on Twitter feel poorly prepared? Yeah, there was a lot of people
that thought that he had shot three black people. And
obviously because of the way that the mainstream media had
had formed the narrative that was following it now I'm falling
just laying.
Oh, yeah. Tell me what do you what are you learning growth
because this is your season. So here's how it works. Tina will
be you just following all kinds of stuff. I mean, you're really,
I'm a Twitter addict. I really am a Twitter addict. And then I
go,
it's sometimes it's concerning. But you do your chores, so I'm
not too worried. Worried about it?
No, I'm definitely that's where I get a bulk of my news. And
then I'll go down rabbit holes, or sometimes they'll just read
you headlines, and then you'll dispute them immediately. And I
always think that I'm catching you like, did you know about
this? And you're like, Yeah, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, damn
it.
No, but you. Did you got how many times I say send it to me.
Oh, definitely no agenda producers.
More than that more, so much more. Thank you. Just that mic
is good on you. Oh, good. Yeah, that's the that's how was it?
Who gave it to you at the bash? RC Dave Hellman. I want to say.
This is the gnomon This is the T 103. Microphone. It's like an
$1,100 mic. Wow. Yeah, of course. We flip on the regular
mic like I have and there's a big noise.
This place is like janky studio. Oh, yeah. Help kind of
equipment.
And so So of course, this is a high end studio microphone it
needs to a wind screen in front of it, which I didn't have
handy. So yes, luckily, luckily you still had a pantyhose where
we put the
1990s a big cut off the foot
was sucked it up over the over the noise.
Anyway, so you know, the just Layne Maxwell. I've just been
getting snippets people. There's a whole Twitter thread. There
was a young girl. She's not a young girl anymore. But a girl
when she was 14 was talking about how she was basically
groomed. And she was talking about who was on the plane. And
what Jeffrey Epstein would do to her and how just Lane was
involved in it. And it's pretty damning evidence. And
this is a Jane Doe. We
don't know. Yeah, they refer to her as Jane but they they preyed
upon her when she was 14. And she came from a rough family. If
you think her her parents were divorced, or you know, they were
poor, and so they preyed on young girls like that these
stories, these are all known. This is nothing is new. And all
the reporting right down to Yeah, even though interesting.
Was it 700 hours of flight time were accidentally released by
the FAA. Yeah, uh huh. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Coincidences
like that, oh, it's amazing. But
this, this particular woman was paid out of the Epstein victim
fund. I don't know that I had that. So she received money. And
she still tested $5 million settlement of what she said she
got 2.9 million. Yeah. Well, then how can she testify?
I don't, I don't know. Why don't you know this?
Because it wasn't in the Twitter thread that I read. That's why I
was just reading her testimony. So but yeah, let me she said
that. Clinton. Trump was on the airplane. Why guess there's new
news about Jay Z coming out.
I remember. I remember. Trump was very confident about that.
And I think he did fly on the plane. But without Epstein and
not to the island. It was, you know, I was like, I need to
borrow a plane. And somehow it was his I mean, I think that's
what I heard. I heard I heard I don't know something
was his aircraft and he
hate it when that happens. I tell you, I used to have a
private aviation helicopter. There's nothing you did. Yeah.
BT fortina blew it all baby sorry. Damn it. Yeah. Nothing
like you know, being in London having done a day of shopping in
like, okay, let's fly back and then your helicopter doesn't
work. Oh, whoa. Oh, yeah. And then you got to go to Gatwick
and with the plebs like Guy problem. Oh, my God. It's truly
the worst. Just the worst anyway, so that you wait, the
flying car is coming. It will be in our garage. It'll be five
years but I'm keeping this car until the flying car. Okay.
Okay.
Anyway, getting back to just laying just Lane's trial, that's
all that I know is that they had this young girl on well, they
had the pilot on who talked about who was on the flight. And
then they had the girl and she was going into detail and like,
what about how she was Lord and they went took her to Victoria's
Secrets and they bought her all this lingerie and how they told
her to go into a room and massage Geoffrey? How it turned
into an orgy and how he wanted her to sit on a space and yeah,
yeah. So
yeah, we just got kicked off of Apple. We're not even on Apple.
I'm not going to put this on iTunes.
I'm just repeating what I the what I learned. So
that's what's really nothing new then. Yeah, all kinds of what is
the pilot gonna say? Yeah, these people on the plane. We kind of
knew that.
Yeah, yeah. So yeah, anyway, So that's the big thing going on.
But what we were talking about earlier, and I can't remember,
was it. We had this whole slew of CEOs resigning. And it was I
think, around the time Bob Iger from Disney resigned, and but it
was also, I thought, somehow, the timing I can recall us
talking about that being around an Epstein. I remember that, but
I don't remember. And that was now we have a whole bunch of
other CEOs all resigning. Yeah. I don't remember when that was.
These are the Epstein talking about that. You know this. Yeah.
Well, I've noticed it. Yeah. I noticed that that they said,
well, there's this is coincidental. CEOs are resigning
right when this just not just Layne Maxwell trial is
happening. And but I think that you can connect anything to
anything. So I, I don't know knows. Who knows. I don't know.
That's what a podcast is all about. You got to connect
things. Things. Don't make anything by the way. I just I
just need to thank the Jeff Smith. Because he did such a
great job on this. Listen to this ship. So good. This is the
instrumental
Good job, Adam.
Where is it? Oh, here it is. This is the one Yeah. You gave a
directive to him, which was so funny here. He was He said,
Well, what do you want? And what did you tell him?
I said, I wanted something that was sort of had an Incubus vibe
to it. Yeah. And this is what he came back with. And he nailed it
first completely nailed. It
was cool. Yeah. So as we, as we build whatever this is, as we
figure out what we're doing, which we did, and we need to
hear from you, you can email everything, all of your
suggestions.
Tell us what you want to hear less. I mean, we have so many
stories, I can tell you how I met Adam,
to tell you tell. You tell that story. Mine as well. My goal
you want me to tell the whole story?
Is that something that should be behind a paywall?
No, no, let's see. Um, I remember. Okay, I started
working at Ronald McDonald House charities in 2014. Team. And the
CEO had mentioned in a meeting that she was having a potential
donor come by, and that he used to work for MTV. And I said,
Well, who is it? And she said, Adam curry, and I'm like, Oh, I
know who you who he is. Because I remember him from MTV. And I
remember having a little bit of a crush on
Ah, there it is.
And then I remember him coming in with his second wife. And all
I remember is I looked over and like pan, those people are
really tall, tall they are. And I didn't really have a
conversation with you. It wasn't until about six months later,
and we were at a donor event. And that was November 2014. And
I was already divorced. And I think you were in the throes of
getting ready to bail. We just had a huge fight. Yeah. When you
before the coming to the donor event. And I remember coming up
to you, just because I wanted to make conversation because I that
was my role. I had to mingle with the donors, and you brought
it and I knew you were I knew you were celeb. And I was like,
Hey, I walked over with these chocolates that were they were
blueberries made out of blueberries. And they had a
bunch of antioxidants. And I said, Oh, you need to try these
chocolates are really great. They're filled with
antioxidants. And Adam turned to me. And he said, with that
figure, you don't have to worry about that. And I was like,
whew, the wife was standing right next to him. And boy, if
looks could kill, she would have killed him right on the spot
there. And I was like, alright, this bag, I'm walking away.
I can't believe you talk to me at all.
I was like, what do ya. So then fast forward? What six months
later? And you had agreed to MC our major fundraiser?
Just honestly, did I remember that moment?
But you remember meeting me that? Oh, yeah. I
remember the whole thing. I remember say I remember making
the joke. And I what I do not remember is feeling bad about
making it towards towards my then almost ex-wife. Yeah. At
all. Yeah. I do not remember feeling or more I'd probably
didn't even think about is being rude. So let
me ask you this. When you came to the meeting, we had that
first meeting. Did you remember me from that first time that I
was at the donor event or not? Really? Not really? Okay. That's
I mean, I
don't think so. That's fine. Right? I'd like to shoes.
Yes, you did. You did. So we are in this. So anyway, he was
coming to the Ronald McDonald House for a meeting and I was
like, oh, Adam curry is coming. And my work colleague said yeah.
And I go, is this wife coming? She said, Oh, no, he's divorced.
And she's in Mexico now.
You do the voices.
Oh, interesting. So we went into the meeting and
were you just walking around? Wild and unattached, unavailable
that you're like, Ooh, interesting. What was up with
that? No, I
was hanging out with somebody. Somebody
hanging out. Yeah. I like that. You say that? Yeah. Hang it on
the
side. So we had this meeting and then after the after the
meeting, we were walking out and I had these herringbone shoes
on. They were black and white and Adams that I really liked
your shoes. It remind me it's ska. So he walked out the door
and I turned to my colleague and I go, who has no idea. And then
what scar scar was getting a madness selector. This was a
whole new, thin, thin black ties. Black and white. Yeah. And
you had black and white shoes. Scott,
I was enamored, like, I yeah, I definitely liked you. And I made
up for all the douchebaggery just like that, huh? Yeah. Okay.
And then he friend requested me on Facebook that night. So I was
like, Oh, he was we were
gonna be working together.
Oh, okay. Sure. Okay. And then, yeah, it took us six weeks to
ask me out because you were busy. But during those six weeks
while I was we were texting back and forth, but I did my
reconnaissance. I started listening to the no agenda show,
which I think was around show 700 And something. Oh, really?
Yeah, I started I heard all about nurse Tracy. I heard about
nurse Tracy how she was your cultural attache. But I was
trying to like figure out who this person was and who you
know, what was the about and but
you listen to the no agenda show around episode 700. Did you not
think to yourself? This guy's a nutjob? The shit he's talking
about?
This? No, that didn't cross my mind what crossed my mind was
Wow, he knows a lot about a lot. That's what I thought.
That's enough about enough about too much.
I just thought you knew a lot about a lot and like a lot of
things that I never even paid attention to. And then six weeks
later, we went out on our first date. And then yeah, we just
started having fun. And I remember early on into our
dating you asked me what I thought about Hillary Clinton.
Yeah, you asked me about what what do you think about the
Clintons? And then you asked me about Obama. See you were doing
reconnaissance on me?
No, man. I don't think so. I was just trying to get to your
lizard brain to activate you to hop in the sense, right? Cuz you
said you had the player handbook. That's right. Here's
like, here's, here's how you get her in the sack. I'm like, okay,
I can do. Hey, don't worry. I've got the player handbook. It'd be
a great day. That's right.
That's right. I remember that. You told me that the first day
that you had the player handbook.
I bought that thing too. Yeah, it was a PDF.
It wasn't even a book. It's pulling it up right now. Yeah, I
think he talked to John was disappointed that you were
dating somebody because he wanted to live vicariously
through your single Oh, no.
That was horrible. Yeah, he didn't like that. Yeah, he
didn't know cuz you
were like, I like this girl. And he was like, No.
Although he is the one that named you, the keeper. This is
can't find this. Oh, wait, I have it. You still have to have
it. Yes. People need to know that. Tina is a hoarder of
certain things. mental things. sentimental things here. There's
this order. You go. Oh, you can read it online. No, no, that's
the Brenda Jackson. Oh, that's it.
Yeah, but Adam curry needed the player handbook. When he hit the
dating scene.
I was so bored of everything. And let me try this.
Let's talk about your Tinder date. Let's
not. Let's not my profile, clearly stated six, five. So
don't show up at five one and say, Oh, I'm surprised. Very
bad.
Anyway. So that's how we met and yeah, we just started having
fun. And yeah, we just clicked so
about, about Hillary Clinton. I was gonna tell you this earlier.
This is my transition skill. Here's what I heard. This is
this is the gambit of all gambits. This would be so
beautiful, you'll love this one. Oh, no, you know, Camela retires
now, VP retires gets a 25 This is exactly how I heard it. Okay.
So this is take it for what it's worth. These things have been
right before, I guess, a $25 million house, you know, taking
care of boom, you know, she'll say that taxpayer money. No,
this is all gonna be Democratic Party donor money. Yeah, that
they have to do something because they have a dead
president. Not on the money but in the Oval Office. They have a
hated vice president who seemingly really can't do
anything. So they have a problem and there's still all kinds of
shit going on behind the scenes who's running the show? So 10
Technically the following wouldn't be possible vice
president resigns for mental health reasons family whatever
she wants this possible
Do you really think they're gonna let she's gonna let them
disgrace her like that? He really think that
look at what she's done to get to where she is today. She's
disgraced herself in many ways. So I don't think she will stoop
to any level of whatever she needs.
She's on.
She may not have a choice. I don't know, she's may not have a
choice on
the country. She's on the United States stage right now a little
different. She may
not have a choice. Okay. So go ahead, go into your head. Either
you take the $25 million house and the mental health break or
don't fly in small aircraft and stay out of the hot tub. I'm
just being an evil evil doer. Okay. Joe immediately appoints
his new vice Vice President, I check the 25th amendment. This
isn't this is not a vote. This is not a party thing. This is
yes. The vice the new vice president would have to be
approved by the full House and Senate. And that would be
Hillary Clinton. Joe retires. Hillary's personal shit. Okay.
No way. Okay. Thank you. Bye. No House and Senate. Don't tell me
I think I'm just telling you what I see. That's why they
would have to do it very quickly, because they barely
have the Senate now. And I'm not sure if the vice president
resigns. Does she still have the deciding vote? In the Senate?
Hmm. I just heard it. I was like, okay, that's that's
pretty. That's pretty eloquent. That's out of all the people
what else? What else can they do? Just let, I guess they can
just hobble Joe along. He seems to be doing fine. He's bumbling
everyone. No one cares anymore. Just do it. Yeah. We all know
that he's not doing it a meat
puppet. Um, out of all the people they would look at
Hillary Clinton. I don't I don't Has this ever happened in the
history of the
president vice presidents have resigned? Yeah, Spiro Agnew. He
was he was he was bad dude. And who was? Who was who was your
Nixon was president?
Who was he replaced with then?
Oh, was that? Was that Gerald Ford at
the time? I guess the Democratic machine is so
all political machines. Yeah. Not just the Democrat machine.
I don't know Hillary Clinton seems like a far fetched.
Yeah, he was succeeded. But by Gerald Gerald Ford. She is
not liked at all. At all. That's going from that's that's going
from terrible to worse. In my mind.
Well, no, cuz, look, it doesn't matter. Because the media, the
media, in general will just run it. Yeah. A cup is just running
a cover from ah, I believe it when I see it. I'm skeptical.
You since you're on, you're the Twitter afficionado.
Yeah, what can I tell you? I got it. Right. So
everyone now I really didn't participate much in this.
Because I really just don't care. But a lot of people really
hated Jack Dorsey. Really? Yeah, I would say so. They also Oh,
Jack sucks Jack's making letting this happen. Jack's letting the
the President being D platform. So what's the vibe now that the
jack is gone? And we're getting the new guy whose name we can't
remember.
What is his name by Dr. either?
I don't know what I don't know. Let me see. He's the chief
technical. You know,
his name is I'm probably butchering this Parag ag
gridwall Okay, that's
not a cool CEO name and it's even worse DJ name. So this guy
should not be in this position. Well, people
were upset because he obviously didn't cleanse his Twitter feed
and he had posted in November 2020 This tweet that said Our
role is not to be bound by the First Amendment focusing less on
thinking about free speech but thinking about how the times
have changed and then also on the heels of of that coming out
they had just made an announcement where you cannot
share any images on Twitter without the person's consent
you How does how's that going?
I have no idea no idea how they're going to manage that and
a lot of people are saying that the censor the censorship is
just going to get worse now under this person to me all four
that's gonna become a liberal I know you are but it's gonna
become a liberal echo chamber. I mean, it really already is
people think that to scribble think a lot of people are
connected to Twitter, but they're not. There's no There's
a it's small numbers of who's actually on Twitter. But the
liberal voices that are on there really loud and it's just gonna
be a liberal echo chamber.
What is it that keeps you there?
My favorites that I keep going to
when I can tell you when are you in the liberal echo chamber?
I am I have to listen to some of them. I know this guy, I can't
stand her. But I have to see what she's saying because I've
got to understand her thinking and Molly Dzung fast who is
equally as bad when? RUBIN Okay, let's fucking terrible. All
right. Let's go back first of all, Jennifer Rubin. She's a
journalist.
Well, she claims to be a Republican, but she's really
not.
But she's a journalist. Yeah. Okay. Amy says kind is what just
a troublemaker. She's
a journalist to hold on or what? Hold on, I'll tell you. But yes,
I have to I have to.
I see I'd made a terrible mistake. What I did not bring
the wine bottle into the studio. You
probably need to get that. She says she's an activist, feminist
and author, the weekly list and podcast our care are archived at
Anand Annenberg pen. She's the founder president of the new
agenda. Oh, she's a former Wall Street executive. She's
horrible.
Doesn't say them in her profile. I'm also horrible. She's,
I mean, Stacey. Abrams, just announced that she's running for
Georgia Governor in 2022. And she is all over that. Like she
is like, donate. This is so awesome.
But that's okay. See, you're acting a little triggered by it.
Yeah, that's okay.
Yeah, but I think this is part of this is the other part of
Tina, who loves sales. And that achievement is a part of Tina
that wants to go and just fight. Oh, yeah. It's Indiana versus
Chicago.
I don't know how many times I have. I don't know how many
times I have typed out a tweet and deleted it. Because, ah,
yeah, these people drive me crazy. But I have to I have to
hear both sides. I have to, just to kind of stay present to it.
All right, but my favorites are that oh my gosh.
Oh, hold on. Hold on with your favorite Toller. I'm gonna go
get the bottle. Okay. So maybe we can get one of those. St.
Bernard flasks for underneath Phoebe's chin. No, no filler was
wine.
No, we just need to get the decanter to capture. Pour the
whole bottle in there and just bring it in the studio. Not an
alkie Hmm. I don't drink that much. Yeah, but we could easily
do bottom line.
A whole bottle. Yeah, we've
done it before. Okay, so my favorites on Twitter. These are
my go twos. I go to them every day just to see what's going on.
Of course you
don't post anything.
No, I know. But I look at your responses. And I look to see if
you're liking any hot chicks tweets.
Is that do you really know? Are you really? Alright? Because I
said it earlier at lunch I said, Oh, yeah, there was this Dutch
woman she she said I don't look so good or swoon or whatever I
said, and I hit her profile picture first to see if she
wasn't too hot. So I could like her tweet. I'm not stupid.
Stupid. And you pull it up. She looks good. I'm like
I'm like close up. Yeah. Whoo.
Wow. So judgmental. No, I
know. I know. Anyway.
So you're Indiana versus Chicago. You have this fighting
you but you, you, you wasted all on these on these numbnuts What
do you mean? Oh, you're yelling at numbnuts people are no good.
You know, I'm not condemning it. I'm sorry. I'm not condemning
it. Yeah. Yeah. Did you like it though? You really enjoyed it,
too. I do. But I don't get in the fray too much. Because
although I did tell some guy today that he was living under a
rock.
Oh, my God. You went all out on that. He
was I was questioning the CDC. He's like the CDC is saved
people blah, blah, blah. Well, you must be living under a rock.
And he goes That's so funny. Because poor you talking about?
And I said, I said, believe me I understand. But I said
something. Hold on. I'll tell you exactly what I said. I'll
tell you exactly what I said. You'll like this. He said, Yes.
The funny part is, is that you think it's me. I said I
understand how difficult it is when you're living in math
formation. Look it up.
Look it up. Sick, burned, burned.
Anyway, my go to people are Tim Poole. I always go to Tim Poole.
He's kind of snarky on
Twitter, by the way. Now that you're doing a podcast now
you're gonna see what it's like to get snark. Yeah, that's okay.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Like, you know, no, D tag me that. I don't
I really
don't. It's all my personal opinion. And if you're offended
by it, I don't really care. I really don't. Um, I follow Jesse
Kelly who is hilarious, because I like the snark. I really like
the example of Jessica. Let's
see. Let me see here. So he had tweeted, been thinking about
this for a while when we break up as a nation and I begin
forming the world Public of Jesse, I'm obviously going to be
dictator for some time until I get everything sorted out. But
I'm gonna give Clarence Thomas veto power and everything. And
so this woman goes, Can I be VTP? And he goes, No, there will
be no women in my administration. You're welcome
to apply for something in nursing or Secretary Work. I
love the Snark because I know that he's I know that he's
kidding. I like Matt Walsh, too. He's very snarky to I guess I'm
attracted the Snark and Glenn Greenwald, who I think is
unbelievably intelligent. I just really like the way that he
I can report something and get through a whole substack of his
it's just too long. I'll see. I find them so informative. And
they are and but I know what he's gonna say it's, yeah,
I mean, he uncovers things he's uncovering right now he wrote
this substack about this organization that I forget what
their, what the name is, I can look it up but about how they
protect animals from doing experiments. And he went after
pouches and I and I and in a ID Yeah, and how they were doing
the experiments on the beagles. And how, yeah, because because
this is what it's all just nastiness. Of course. Of course.
There's all kinds of experiments, but I never kinds
of cute animals all day long. And here's
my point. I never knew about anything about that. No, I have
for your man.
Tested on on cute beagles. I was asleep
until I met you. I was asleep. I was just you know, I was in the
dating scene. I was just trying to it's a
modern day. free meal. Did you like it? Do you like your free
meal? How's it how's your ride so far? Pretty good.
No, I mean, I was asleep. That's another well let me finish my
let me finish my Glenn Greenwald. Grant. Glenn
Greenwald. Good. Don't rap. I'm Candace Owen. I like her too,
because she's fucking smart. Yeah, she's smart. I like Jack.
So because sobic Yeah, I used to like Scott Adams, but he's too
pompous.
thermofax. Where's Moe fax in this list. Huh? What's a white
man lady? Oh, I
know, Karen is what I like to be. Like zubi
zubi? Is the black face of white supremacy. We all know. Yeah.
I like him to to be as cool. Yeah. So I so every morning I go
through and I look at everybody's tweets. And then
from there, I go down rabbit holes, and then I share them
with you. So if anyone's
listening on a podcasting 2.0 app, you can boost at any time.
We're not gonna take any PayPal or any Patreon. We definitely
want to get some feedback here. I actually have the and you've
probably never even heard these. Any of these? No, you don't
know.
I don't listen to the podcasting, too. Oh, yeah.
So we have a whole bunch to remind people, it's time to
boost boost. And then we have Dame Jennifer, here's your cue
to booth. You know, you want to have Benjamin the Frenchman.
And now, as the French say, it is timeful.
Loose. Nice. Boost to Graham and they'll come up right on that
screen over there. That's what I've been showing here. Nice.
Nice. Yeah. So definitely, we want to be stacking SATs here.
That's that's all we have left. Yeah. Is your sales and stacking
SATs go?
And then we'll see how this show shakes out. We're not sure where
I'm like, like Adam said earlier. I'm interested in
hearing what you want to hear. So
yeah, and we'll need things like a website. Yeah. I mean, there's
so many builds on for us. Yeah, exactly. We have nice and low
merch. merch. We need artwork slow, slow, but yeah, okay. Yes.
Do we need that? We do. I'm a Korean keeper.com. We have that.
So basically, it's a page with our logo and a link to this
first show. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I think we will do it on the
alternative. weeks for more facts. Yeah, we'll see where it
goes. Just catch up. Yeah. Hey, let's talk about our dog. Oh my
god. What do you become a dog person?
Oh my gosh. Adam is enamored with this dog. I've never seen
I've never seen this out of him at all. I mean, I've never
really been around you with dogs. But
you see me with children? Yes. With children. Yes. You adore
this dog though. You adore her. Well, this dog found us. Yes, he
did.
Thank you, Dame. Alicia and David Julian right. I don't know
their exact names. Sir Julian, sir Julian, but you know him as
something else. So
I know him is David but doesn't matter. I know, the three other
names and all kinds of code names and it was working at his
previous company. So yeah. Yeah, that would that would. It's
really interesting because cuz I think it was my I must say it
was Uncle Don years ago and this is before I met you. He said, Do
you have any pets? To you really consider a pet a dog. It brings
a lot of love into the house. And that did stick with me. And
I've had dogs and tons of dogs and cats and goats and horses
and all kinds of stuff. swans. Yeah. But it was, but never this
conscious. Like, we have a great life. You know, we had there was
no reason for us to screw everything up with something
that's gonna suck. I mean, yes, it was there. So we were very
conscious about this. And we were first thinking about a
puppy. Well, I
wanted a Bernie doodle and you didn't want a dog.
I don't want anything with a name. Yes. Doodle. Just sucks
balls. It's it's deep balling is not masculine. I told him I
said, Hey, we're gonna get it. Bernie. Bernie. He has a fucking
doodle dog himself, Frank. Doodle.
I know. But you agreed to it. So we had made this.
I am a good man. I know. Like, I will love the dog. Even if it's
a doodle.
It's like he will. I won't tell anybody. It's a doodle. Well,
Bernese Mountain Dog poodle is the number one sex worker dog in
the industry. Or like meeting with me like whenever
I see one of these, he said, your dad's a fucking poodle.
Stinky as poodle. So sorry, sorry, poodle owners. I know.
I'm being very, very racist.
So this was this was the Saturday before we went to the
Bastrop meetup. And we had I had filled out the application and
we had an interview with the puppy, the Bernie doodle puppy
person on Monday. And so we had made the decision. We're going
to do this. Yeah.
I didn't know you have to have an interview. They want to make
sure we have to do credit check. Sample. Almost. Yeah. I didn't
realize that but okay, I'm going along with the game. I'm good.
I'm like, this would be fun. He's like,
I'm not gonna say it's a doodle anything, but it's a dog. And
then we go and we meet Phoebe. That that night. I met Phoebe.
Mm hmm. And we're in Adams like this is this is karmic, we this
dog was presented to us she needs a home.
Well, it's really, really weird because here we are about to do
an interview. For a doodle do a precision bred dog in the years
this this beautiful, very demure, obviously in need of
love and a need of a home dog. That wasn't even named by its
rescuers. No, they wouldn't name her because they knew they
couldn't keep her. Yeah. And it says like this. And then they
said, if it doesn't work out, you can bring her back. Why you
Come on? I mean, that was that's the most beautiful offer ever.
Yeah, but I think we knew the next day like nah. Well, you
kept saying I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm waiting
for the other. This dog is perfect.
She has we have not had one issue with her at not one issue
at all. Not one no and good thing we didn't name her Whitey
because she likes to bark at Mexicans.
John said we should have named Whitey Rahel Whitey horrible now
she's Yeah, we got lucky and they think she's about two years
old but I think she's older. I think she's between three and
four because she's does not really have much puppy in her at
all. She plays a little bit and then she just sleeps 20 hours a
day.
But no that's not possible because every four hours it's
like she she has to go out I'm gonna take her out I'm gonna
walk with I'm gonna go out there's not there's no way she
can sleep 20 hours a day she's
walked seems like she is walked yes walk now she's she's
definitely been a great addition to our to our life. So and she's
been easy. It's been great. Yeah.
All right here in the hill country to wrap it up. Yeah,
let's wrap it up. We're almost an hour. Oh my gosh. Yeah, we're
pretty good at yapping away. So it's all correspondence
everything you want to say Tina at Curry calm because it don't
send it to me. Just gonna go just gonna get long Adams gonna
