Episodes on back to back days?! Watching the Jimmy Carter service and it's the weirdest collection of people sitting in the same section... I am picturing them all as the people that spoofed them on SNL... and these fires are wild.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I believe this is a world record.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I mean, not an official world record, because I don't
think it's gonna be in the Guinness Book of World Records.
But I don't believe there's ever been a day where
there's back to back episodes of the shows the podcast
just a bit of the contrasts from what I'm used to.
I usually have to talk fast because there's far people
sharing the mic, but this is just me, so I
say whatever i'd like. It might be serious, sometimes it
(00:26):
might be funny. Sometimes to scratch your head and said,
Ryan is such a tummy, but it just me. I
ain't got no help. This is Brian Brin.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
And are talking to myself? Is that it is Brian Grimes.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It is my podcast, and I am talking to myself
for the second day in a row, which I believe
has never been done, at least with my podcast, back
to back episodes days apart.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I mean, that's just crazy talk, right. So I dropped
one yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
If you missed it, go check it out on the
iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts, and then
another one the very next day. Part of the reason
I'm doing it is to say I did back to
back episodes, and because when I was uploading yesterday's episode,
I saw that all of last.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Year I only did five, which is sad. And so if.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I do two already, I'm almost halfway to my total
from last year.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
And it's only the first week of January.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well, we're moving into the second week of January, so
I wanted to get ahead of that. And then also
I was watching TV in the studio right now. The
funeral service for President Jimmy Carter is going on, and
I found myself talking to myself about what I'm seeing on.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The screen in the dynamic, and it really is just
kind of wild.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Jimmy Carter is like the first president that I remember,
because I think he was in office starting in I
want to say seventy seven, and I was born in
seventy five.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Aging myself now, he only did one term. I do remember. See.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I remember Ronald Reagan taking Jimmy Carter's place. That's what
I remember because my grandparents military people, and they really
loved Ronald Reagan, and I was old enough then I
would have been like what six years old to remember
Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And then I remember through the eighties.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Obviously, Ronald Reagan and then you know, obviously after that
George Bush his vice president after two terms, but then
only one term at him because then Clinton rolled into office,
and then from what Clinton, we went to George W.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Bush, which I love George W.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Bush strategiery, I loved him, and Will Ferrell was killing
it on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Night when he was doing the George W. Bush thing.
But anyway, I'm watching the funeral service on TV currently.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I'm not sure when you're gonna listen to this of
President Jimmy Carter, and the dynamic is wild. So when
I first turn it on, I see Donald Trump, who
is at right now as I do this, the President
elect eventually he will be the next president of the
United States, and he's sitting there chopping it up with Obama,
which was crazy because literally just a few weeks ago,
Obama was calling him hitler, saying that he was going
(03:02):
to destroy the country and basically calling you stupid if
you vote for this guy. And now he's sitting here
at the service for Jimmy Carter and they're just chopping
it up. Mlanie is sitting next to Donald Trump like
she's would rather be anywhere else, and she looks like
she's a Pilgrim's like, she's dressed like a pilgrim. You
really can't even tell. It's her hairpool back, she looks
(03:22):
like a pilgrim. Then you got Donald Trump. He's chopping
it up with Barack Obama, and I'm guessing Donald Trump,
in the course of his life, has probably heard enough
negative things said about him that he's fly whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I don't care that this dude called me hitler a
week ago.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I want baby, But it's weird because Obama's laughing with him,
joking with him, but Michelle's not there, so he's got
nobody else to talk to. So he's like that dude
that goes to the party without his significant other and
he's got no one to talk to, so he's just
byessing with whoever.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
And it happens to be Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Now sitting behind them as Mike Pence, who I'm pretty
sure Donald Trump would love to stab, and I'm pretty
sure Mike Pence would love to stab Donald Trump back.
So that's kind of a weird dynamic. And then sitting
right next to them is George W.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Bush.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Now, I think he's just kind of like what everybody like,
I don't care like he probably has a pocket full
of candy that he was gonna give to Michelle Obama,
but she ain't show up, which is weird. She must
be busy, must have something going on, otherwise she would
be there.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Because I don't think Baraka Michelle are having problems. I
wouldn't even put that out there, so I don't think
that's it.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
But then rolls in Bill and Hillary Clinton. Now Hillary Clinton,
she looks mad. She always looks mad, though, and she
don't really like it. Looks like that Obama's chopping it
up with Donald Trump. Bill on the other hand, and
I'm not a conspiracy theorist in a sense where I
think people are being replaced.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I know there's you know a lot of people that
think that Gucci Maine is a bot. He's been replaced.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I don't think that's the real Bill Clinton. It's either
a different Bill Clinton altogether, like a bot, or they
did a whole face off thing, but they just flashed
to him on the screen.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
If you're watching this, well you can't watch it and
be hearing this at the same time. Times not possible.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
But if you if you were watching, he's laughing with
Hillary Clinton, which makes me think maybe he's a bot, Like,
it's got to be an Ai, right, because I don't
even think those two like each other. So they're they're
chopping it up, laughing, and he just put on some
old lady glasses.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Which I don't think.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I don't think tricky Bill Clinton would put on some
old lady glasses, but he did. Then Kamala Harris comes
in with her husband, and it's funny because she was
gonna sit down and she's like, uh, I'm not sitting
next to these fools, and she put her husband between
her and the rest of the people so she could
sit further away from everybody. And she clearly is not
cool with the fact that she's gotta If Lukes could
(05:38):
kill Donald, it'd be a funeral for Donald Trump. He
you're not Jimmy Carter. But she wasn't happy about that.
And then, uh, the current president Biden walks in. Now,
he did make it to his seat, and he didn't
wander aimlessly, but I do think he was asleep within
the first three or four minutes.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
But he's back awake now, and you know he's just
at this point mailing it in. He's only got a
buy a week to go, so this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
What I don't remember is if they did this for
all of the former presidents that passed. Was it this
big of a deal or are we just in a
social media age where it gets shared everywhere so you
see it everywhere, Because I mean, I've not been alive
for a lot of presidents to pass, but.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I mean I know they have, and I don't believe
I don't remember this.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I don't remember the stock market market closing when other
presidents passed. But again, maybe I just wasn't old enough
to be messing with the stock market to.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
The extent that I am now. Not that I'm a
high dollar trader or anything. It's just a weird dynamic.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
This looks like a Saturday Night Live skit, and I
know it's a serious situation.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's Jimmy Carter's funeral. The man has passed away, but he.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Did live to be one hundred and he became the
President of the United States, and so the man lived
a pretty full life.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
So it's not like I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Making fun of the fact that he gone, but I'm
making fun of the fact that that front section looks
like an SNL skit waiting to happen. Like I can
picture all the people that would play the people in
that section on SNL.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
They should totally.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I don't know if they would. I don't know if
they didn't do that because it's a man's funeral. Maybe
I'm the only jackass that would have this coversation about
a man's funeral.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It just strikes me as funny that May and all
these people, and the underlying theme is literally a few
weeks ago, most of them were calling the guy sitting
next to them a menace, a hitler, gonna destroy democracy,
all of these things, And.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Now they're just chilling.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
And I know that's how it works in politics, Like
I mean literally because when Joe Biden was running against
Kamala Harris years ago, she basically called him a creepy
old pedophile racist, and then literally two weeks later, you know,
they were co workers. So I get that's how politics works.
One of the reasons I would not jump into politics
(07:52):
is because of that. It's just so slimy and slippery,
Like I like the idea of it, but I definitely
don't like the idea of I gotta be cool with
somebody who called me hitler two days ago. I'm still
holding grudges against people who said less than that five
years ago about me. So yeah, I'm not sure that
I could that I could handle that anyway.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
It's if you haven't watched it after listening to this,
it'll be on YouTube, go back and watch it. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Speaking of dying, this was on Reddit and we talked
about it on the show on Johnny's House. If you
miss it, you could check out the podcast on the
iHeartRadio app. Someone asked what statistic you'd like to know
about your life after you were gone?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Like game over?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Right, Like, so you checked out, You're looking back at
the tally of your life. I guess before you move
on to wherever you're moving on to, what statistic would
you like to know? Like someone said, I'd like to
know how many times I cheated death, Like death almost
happened to me and I just didn't know it. That
would be an interesting one to know. I only know
(08:53):
of one that it's actually happened, Like there was there
was one time that I know for sure I did.
I mean, I was probably inches, if not less, from dying,
And it was a stupid street racing when I had
my Mustang GT and I was racing this dude and
I slid over in front of him like super last second,
(09:15):
and we were going like one hundred and ten miles
an hour. If we clipped, yeah, we both done like
seriously and that. But that wouldn't count because I knew
that happened. So I wonder how many times I cheated
death and didn't know it.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
That would be an interesting one for me.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I'd like to know how many times I made people laugh,
like genuinely.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Made people laugh.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
And then I also want to know how many times
people heard something I said and I thought it was
funny and they're like, man, that's so stupid. And so
I can tally the two and I could see plus
minus over under which which one came out on top.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I would think the laughing one came out on top.
I Uh, I mean, I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I'm a witty, funny dude, at least I think so.
Especially if you listen to yesterday's podcast, you know that
I was the come the funniest one in the room,
so it was it was pretty cool. Someone's on Reddit
said they'd like to know how many times they drop
the number two over the course of their life. I
don't think I need to know that not something I'm
interested in. Yeah, I don't think so. I would like
(10:16):
to know the total dollar amount that I spent on
alcohol at the end of my life. I don't want
to know now because that would make me sick to
my stomach. But I do want to know at the
end of at the end of it, when it's all
said and done, the total number I spent on alcohol.
Like I don't I want to say, it's got to
be close to a million dollars. Like not right in
(10:37):
a second, but like if I continue at the rate
that I'm going, let me I'm not great at math.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Let me while I talk to you guys, let me.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Pop a calculator real quick and just see, Like there's
there's like I've I've overspent some serious.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Money on alcohol before.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
But let me just say I spent Let's say.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Let's let's go with that number. Let's go with that
number times.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Four times, twelve times. Let's see if I let's say
I live to be Let's let's let's be generous. Let's
say I live to be eighty ones for easiness.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, oh my gosh, wow, Now I do take breaks.
But I just did the math.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
So what I did was I said, four hundred dollars
a month on alcohol, which is totally doable considering that
we go to drink around the world at Epcot a lot.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
So four hundred dollars a month on alcohol.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Now there's again there's months where I take, you know,
time off, but there's also months where we go twice.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
And so maybe that that that evens it out.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
So I did that forty dollars or four hundred dollars
a month times obviously twelve months in the year. I
did that to buy sixty years, because if I live
to be eighty one, that's sixty years of drinking. Although
I didn't do this all the time, so that that
by by sixty is probably not fair.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
So let's multiply that by forty instead.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Okay, by forty instead, forty years of that kind of
of drinking is seven hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Stop it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I gotta I gotta reel myself in. I waste too
much money, man, I waste too much money.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
On the alcohol.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I should never have done that. Now it's just gonna
ruin it. We're supposed to go to my friend's birthday
this weekend. I'm gonna be like, I'm I'll have water
with lemon please. I'm trying. I'm trying to cut back,
not on the alcohol, on the frivolous spending.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Wow. I wonder you know what? You You can hit me.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
On Instagram add the Brian Grimes. After you listen to
this what uh? What useless stat? Random stat about your life?
Would you like to know after it's all said and done,
After after it's it's done. You can't come back, you're dead,
you can't change anything, but you want to know.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
This stat about your life? Wow?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I'm I'm sitting here sick to my stomach, like it
makes me want to drink to think that I spent
that much money on alcohol over the course of my life.
Like the things I could have bought with that kind
of money could have already paid off my house, could
have paid off the boat, bought another boat, and another
boat and then a boat just to put the money
in that I say, by not drinking anymore, that kind
(13:17):
of stuff makes you want to stop drinking.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Now imagine if you're a smoker, because that's a daily
thing that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You spend money on.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I can't even wrap my head around what it would
be if you smoked every day and then you add
that money up. Yeah, if you're a smoker, do that.
That makes me feel better about my alcohol spending. Is
when I think about smoker spending, I mean, alcohol is
not keeping me alive, but the cigarettes are killing you
way faster than the alcohol is killing me. I'm willing
to bet, so basically, you're paying for your own demise
(13:51):
and probably a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
So that makes me feel better about it. There's a
smoker out there.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
That's spending more on cigarettes than I am on alcohol,
and at least I feel good and have some fun.
The next day, I feel bad and I wonder what
I did and what I said. There's been a few
times where I knew what I did and what I
said and ye, rah, that was pretty bad. But yeah, overall,
I think I'm winning on the alcohol versus cigarettes thing.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
So luckily I never got hooked onto that.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
But yeah, hit me up on Instagram at thee Brian
Grimes after you listen to this and tell me, is
there a stat, a weird, interesting stat you'd like to
know about your life after your life is over? These
wildfires are still going crazy, and they are crazy, like
there's tons of conspiracy theories about this. One of them
is that they're trying to burn all the evidence from
the Epstein stuff and the Diddy stuff, and I say, okay, cool,
(14:36):
I got that. But Mandy Moore's house burned down, and
I'm pretty sure there's no evidence against Mandy Moore, so
I don't think that's the way that it's going. I
did see a video of something crazy flying through, like
the smoke and stuff. Now I'm not saying aliens shut
up the place like an Independence Day with Will Smith,
but I'm just saying there is a weird video that's
(14:58):
gone around of something flying through over there, which is
a little bit wild. I don't necessarily think it's a conspiracy.
I think it's years of bad management.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And I don't live in California.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
So if you live in California and you get mad
about this, that's fine. I just can tell you what
I read. I know the Santa Anna wins are not
caused by global warming, which is one of the arguments
I was reading yesterday. It made me go back and
do some research on the Santa Ana wins. And here's
where I always say I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
The smartest guy in the room. I'm not.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Obviously I'm not, but I mean I read up before
I say anything, and so I was reading up on
the Santa Ana wins because I didn' want to say
anything that was incorrect.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
And they've been a phenomenon.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
For over five thousand years, and so one said, well,
they've never been this fast. Well that's untrue as well.
They actually had one year where the sustained winds for
a long period of time were over one hundred miles
an hour and the gusts were over one hundred and
thirty seven miles an hour.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
So that's not necessarily true either.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
So the Santa Ana wins are not a result of
the global warming thing. So and I mean forest management.
It can be an argument all day long. Obviously, climate
is changing. I've never said I'm not one of those
climate change doesn't exist. My position on it is the
climate's been changing on the planet since the planet was formed,
(16:16):
and it's going to continue to change whether we do
anything or not. I mean, that's just the evolution of
the planet because it happened before we were here. So
and I'm not saying we shouldn't do anything to, you know,
save the environment, because we should. But there are some
things that are just going to happen, because that's that's
(16:37):
the natural course of events. None of us have lived
on the planet before, Like no one's lived tomorrow or
five years from now or ten years from now, So
nobody knows that that's just not the evolution of the
planet because you can't know that, Like you could do
some science and you can see that you know, some
things are affecting it more than others, but you can't
know that the Earth isn't just evolving because that's the
natural progression of things. But I do know the Santa
(16:58):
Ana Wins have been around for five thousand years, and
I do know that they were called the devil Winds
for a while because they were so bad and they
did whip fires through the canyons and stuff. Now that
was back before Taylor Swift had a twenty five million
dollar mansion in the canyon. But still they've been around
doing that for a long time. But it's just a crazy,
sad situation, like I know, and it's only hit me.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
They're like, oh, there's celebrities who cares, but there's still
people and yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Financially, they're not going to be devastated like somebody who
lost the one house that they have that works, you know,
the nine to five one hundred percent, but there's still
people they still had to pick, you know, the last
minute what they were going to take out of their house.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I'm not a huge Whitney Cummings fan.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I did like Two Broke Girls. I thought that was
well written. But she posted about that, you know, she
having to decide whether she grabs the front page of
the first script from Two Broke Girls. And obviously that's
something you want, I mean, but like you're you're trying
to get out of your house as literally a wall
of fire is blowing your way. And so whether or
not they're a celebrity and they're gonna be fine, yes,
(18:01):
that still sucks.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Man. So it is just a crazy situation.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
And you know, people that I've worked with in the
past are dealing with a Jade who used to be
on the show with us when it was Johnny and Jade.
She's in a hotel, had to evacuate her house, which
is wild. Late Kate, who was on the show for
a long time. She is now, you know, a freelance
TV producer and she's over in la and you know,
they're same thing they're having to watch everything and make
sure they're good. Danny used to work on the show,
(18:27):
same thing, scoop of Steve who used to work on
the show. Now he's in you know, Nashville with Bobby Bones,
but he was in San Francisco in LA for a
while with Fox Sports and so he's got ties there too.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
So we we've got a lot of friends that are
you know, tidy the area. One of my best friends
from middle school, we.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Were Zach and Cody before Zach and Cody living in
the Disney Hotels. He lives out in LA, so you know,
he's dealing with the two. So it is a lot
of celebrities, and it is a lot of They're going
to be fine, but still it's not.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Cool when you watch an entire state like burns at
the ground. It's just wild.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Anyway, I think I've I think I've talked to myself
quite enough.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Thank you very much. Make sure you check out the
previous episodes of the podcast. I think I have ninety.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
This will be my ninety second episode up, so you
could technically, if you haven't been listening to the whole thing,
go back and binge listen to the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Some of them are probably a little cringe.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I think I cried on one of them because someone
had pissed me off so bad because it's something they
said about me. Anyway, you can listen to all of
them always free on the iHeartRadio app wherever you get
your podcasts. If you have the iHeartRadio app, you should
definitely make me a preset along with XL one oh.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Sixty seven in Johnny's House and Throwbacks.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Because I do afternoons on the national Throwbacks platform for iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I think it's two three to seven, three to seven
each weekday, six days a week, actually Saturday as well,
magic when I was seven seven in the afternoons.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Make sure you follow me on all of the social
media platforms at the Brian Grimes.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I haven't mentioned the Rum company yet, but you can
check out Yoho, rum dot com.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
My wife and I talking about that last night because I.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Met somebody actually at New Year's Eve that is in
the liquor business globally.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
But I got to get I got to get my
house right here.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Before I get my house right expanded into the global markets,
but still pretty cool, so Yojo rum dot com and
Yeah record set two days in a row, two days,
two episodes of talking to myself,
I believe this is a world record.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I mean, not an official world record, because I don't
think it's gonna be in the Guinness Book of World Records.
But I don't believe there's ever been a day where
there's back to back episodes of the shows the podcast
just a bit of the contrasts from what I'm used to.
I usually have to talk fast because there's far people
sharing the mic, but this is just me, so I
say whatever i'd like. It might be serious, sometimes it
(00:26):
might be funny. Sometimes to scratch your head and said,
Ryan is such a tummy, but it just me. I
ain't got no help. This is Brian Brin.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
And are talking to myself? Is that it is Brian Grimes.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It is my podcast, and I am talking to myself
for the second day in a row, which I believe
has never been done, at least with my podcast, back
to back episodes days apart.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I mean, that's just crazy talk, right. So I dropped
one yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
If you missed it, go check it out on the
iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts, and then
another one the very next day. Part of the reason
I'm doing it is to say I did back to
back episodes, and because when I was uploading yesterday's episode,
I saw that all of last.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Year I only did five, which is sad. And so if.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I do two already, I'm almost halfway to my total
from last year.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
And it's only the first week of January.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well, we're moving into the second week of January, so
I wanted to get ahead of that. And then also
I was watching TV in the studio right now. The
funeral service for President Jimmy Carter is going on, and
I found myself talking to myself about what I'm seeing on.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The screen in the dynamic, and it really is just
kind of wild.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Jimmy Carter is like the first president that I remember,
because I think he was in office starting in I
want to say seventy seven, and I was born in
seventy five.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Aging myself now, he only did one term. I do remember. See.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I remember Ronald Reagan taking Jimmy Carter's place. That's what
I remember because my grandparents military people, and they really
loved Ronald Reagan, and I was old enough then I
would have been like what six years old to remember
Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And then I remember through the eighties.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Obviously, Ronald Reagan and then you know, obviously after that
George Bush his vice president after two terms, but then
only one term at him because then Clinton rolled into office,
and then from what Clinton, we went to George W.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Bush, which I love George W.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Bush strategiery, I loved him, and Will Ferrell was killing
it on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Night when he was doing the George W. Bush thing.
But anyway, I'm watching the funeral service on TV currently.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I'm not sure when you're gonna listen to this of
President Jimmy Carter, and the dynamic is wild. So when
I first turn it on, I see Donald Trump, who
is at right now as I do this, the President
elect eventually he will be the next president of the
United States, and he's sitting there chopping it up with Obama,
which was crazy because literally just a few weeks ago,
Obama was calling him hitler, saying that he was going
(03:02):
to destroy the country and basically calling you stupid if
you vote for this guy. And now he's sitting here
at the service for Jimmy Carter and they're just chopping
it up. Mlanie is sitting next to Donald Trump like
she's would rather be anywhere else, and she looks like
she's a Pilgrim's like, she's dressed like a pilgrim. You
really can't even tell. It's her hairpool back, she looks
(03:22):
like a pilgrim. Then you got Donald Trump. He's chopping
it up with Barack Obama, and I'm guessing Donald Trump,
in the course of his life, has probably heard enough
negative things said about him that he's fly whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I don't care that this dude called me hitler a
week ago.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I want baby, But it's weird because Obama's laughing with him,
joking with him, but Michelle's not there, so he's got
nobody else to talk to. So he's like that dude
that goes to the party without his significant other and
he's got no one to talk to, so he's just
byessing with whoever.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
And it happens to be Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Now sitting behind them as Mike Pence, who I'm pretty
sure Donald Trump would love to stab, and I'm pretty
sure Mike Pence would love to stab Donald Trump back.
So that's kind of a weird dynamic. And then sitting
right next to them is George W.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Bush.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Now, I think he's just kind of like what everybody like,
I don't care like he probably has a pocket full
of candy that he was gonna give to Michelle Obama,
but she ain't show up, which is weird. She must
be busy, must have something going on, otherwise she would
be there.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Because I don't think Baraka Michelle are having problems. I
wouldn't even put that out there, so I don't think
that's it.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
But then rolls in Bill and Hillary Clinton. Now Hillary Clinton,
she looks mad. She always looks mad, though, and she
don't really like it. Looks like that Obama's chopping it
up with Donald Trump. Bill on the other hand, and
I'm not a conspiracy theorist in a sense where I
think people are being replaced.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I know there's you know a lot of people that
think that Gucci Maine is a bot. He's been replaced.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I don't think that's the real Bill Clinton. It's either
a different Bill Clinton altogether, like a bot, or they
did a whole face off thing, but they just flashed
to him on the screen.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
If you're watching this, well you can't watch it and
be hearing this at the same time. Times not possible.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
But if you if you were watching, he's laughing with
Hillary Clinton, which makes me think maybe he's a bot, Like,
it's got to be an Ai, right, because I don't
even think those two like each other. So they're they're
chopping it up, laughing, and he just put on some
old lady glasses.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Which I don't think.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I don't think tricky Bill Clinton would put on some
old lady glasses, but he did. Then Kamala Harris comes
in with her husband, and it's funny because she was
gonna sit down and she's like, uh, I'm not sitting
next to these fools, and she put her husband between
her and the rest of the people so she could
sit further away from everybody. And she clearly is not
cool with the fact that she's gotta If Lukes could
(05:38):
kill Donald, it'd be a funeral for Donald Trump. He
you're not Jimmy Carter. But she wasn't happy about that.
And then, uh, the current president Biden walks in. Now,
he did make it to his seat, and he didn't
wander aimlessly, but I do think he was asleep within
the first three or four minutes.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
But he's back awake now, and you know he's just
at this point mailing it in. He's only got a
buy a week to go, so this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
What I don't remember is if they did this for
all of the former presidents that passed. Was it this
big of a deal or are we just in a
social media age where it gets shared everywhere so you
see it everywhere, Because I mean, I've not been alive
for a lot of presidents to pass, but.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I mean I know they have, and I don't believe
I don't remember this.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I don't remember the stock market market closing when other
presidents passed. But again, maybe I just wasn't old enough
to be messing with the stock market to.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
The extent that I am now. Not that I'm a
high dollar trader or anything. It's just a weird dynamic.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
This looks like a Saturday Night Live skit, and I
know it's a serious situation.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's Jimmy Carter's funeral. The man has passed away, but he.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Did live to be one hundred and he became the
President of the United States, and so the man lived
a pretty full life.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
So it's not like I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Making fun of the fact that he gone, but I'm
making fun of the fact that that front section looks
like an SNL skit waiting to happen. Like I can
picture all the people that would play the people in
that section on SNL.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
They should totally.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I don't know if they would. I don't know if
they didn't do that because it's a man's funeral. Maybe
I'm the only jackass that would have this coversation about
a man's funeral.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It just strikes me as funny that May and all
these people, and the underlying theme is literally a few
weeks ago, most of them were calling the guy sitting
next to them a menace, a hitler, gonna destroy democracy,
all of these things, And.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Now they're just chilling.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
And I know that's how it works in politics, Like
I mean literally because when Joe Biden was running against
Kamala Harris years ago, she basically called him a creepy
old pedophile racist, and then literally two weeks later, you know,
they were co workers. So I get that's how politics works.
One of the reasons I would not jump into politics
(07:52):
is because of that. It's just so slimy and slippery,
Like I like the idea of it, but I definitely
don't like the idea of I gotta be cool with
somebody who called me hitler two days ago. I'm still
holding grudges against people who said less than that five
years ago about me. So yeah, I'm not sure that
I could that I could handle that anyway.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
It's if you haven't watched it after listening to this,
it'll be on YouTube, go back and watch it. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Speaking of dying, this was on Reddit and we talked
about it on the show on Johnny's House. If you
miss it, you could check out the podcast on the
iHeartRadio app. Someone asked what statistic you'd like to know
about your life after you were gone?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Like game over?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Right, Like, so you checked out, You're looking back at
the tally of your life. I guess before you move
on to wherever you're moving on to, what statistic would
you like to know? Like someone said, I'd like to
know how many times I cheated death, Like death almost
happened to me and I just didn't know it. That
would be an interesting one to know. I only know
(08:53):
of one that it's actually happened, Like there was there
was one time that I know for sure I did.
I mean, I was probably inches, if not less, from dying,
And it was a stupid street racing when I had
my Mustang GT and I was racing this dude and
I slid over in front of him like super last second,
(09:15):
and we were going like one hundred and ten miles
an hour. If we clipped, yeah, we both done like
seriously and that. But that wouldn't count because I knew
that happened. So I wonder how many times I cheated
death and didn't know it.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
That would be an interesting one for me.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I'd like to know how many times I made people laugh,
like genuinely.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Made people laugh.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
And then I also want to know how many times
people heard something I said and I thought it was
funny and they're like, man, that's so stupid. And so
I can tally the two and I could see plus
minus over under which which one came out on top.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I would think the laughing one came out on top.
I Uh, I mean, I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I'm a witty, funny dude, at least I think so.
Especially if you listen to yesterday's podcast, you know that
I was the come the funniest one in the room,
so it was it was pretty cool. Someone's on Reddit
said they'd like to know how many times they drop
the number two over the course of their life. I
don't think I need to know that not something I'm
interested in. Yeah, I don't think so. I would like
(10:16):
to know the total dollar amount that I spent on
alcohol at the end of my life. I don't want
to know now because that would make me sick to
my stomach. But I do want to know at the
end of at the end of it, when it's all
said and done, the total number I spent on alcohol.
Like I don't I want to say, it's got to
be close to a million dollars. Like not right in
(10:37):
a second, but like if I continue at the rate
that I'm going, let me I'm not great at math.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Let me while I talk to you guys, let me.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Pop a calculator real quick and just see, Like there's
there's like I've I've overspent some serious.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Money on alcohol before.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
But let me just say I spent Let's say.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Let's let's go with that number. Let's go with that
number times.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Four times, twelve times. Let's see if I let's say
I live to be Let's let's let's be generous. Let's
say I live to be eighty ones for easiness.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, oh my gosh, wow, Now I do take breaks.
But I just did the math.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
So what I did was I said, four hundred dollars
a month on alcohol, which is totally doable considering that
we go to drink around the world at Epcot a lot.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
So four hundred dollars a month on alcohol.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Now there's again there's months where I take, you know,
time off, but there's also months where we go twice.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
And so maybe that that that evens it out.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
So I did that forty dollars or four hundred dollars
a month times obviously twelve months in the year. I
did that to buy sixty years, because if I live
to be eighty one, that's sixty years of drinking. Although
I didn't do this all the time, so that that
by by sixty is probably not fair.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
So let's multiply that by forty instead.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Okay, by forty instead, forty years of that kind of
of drinking is seven hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Stop it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I gotta I gotta reel myself in. I waste too
much money, man, I waste too much money.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
On the alcohol.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I should never have done that. Now it's just gonna
ruin it. We're supposed to go to my friend's birthday
this weekend. I'm gonna be like, I'm I'll have water
with lemon please. I'm trying. I'm trying to cut back,
not on the alcohol, on the frivolous spending.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Wow. I wonder you know what? You You can hit me.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
On Instagram add the Brian Grimes. After you listen to
this what uh? What useless stat? Random stat about your life?
Would you like to know after it's all said and done,
After after it's it's done. You can't come back, you're dead,
you can't change anything, but you want to know.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
This stat about your life? Wow?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I'm I'm sitting here sick to my stomach, like it
makes me want to drink to think that I spent
that much money on alcohol over the course of my life.
Like the things I could have bought with that kind
of money could have already paid off my house, could
have paid off the boat, bought another boat, and another
boat and then a boat just to put the money
in that I say, by not drinking anymore, that kind
(13:17):
of stuff makes you want to stop drinking.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Now imagine if you're a smoker, because that's a daily
thing that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You spend money on.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I can't even wrap my head around what it would
be if you smoked every day and then you add
that money up. Yeah, if you're a smoker, do that.
That makes me feel better about my alcohol spending. Is
when I think about smoker spending, I mean, alcohol is
not keeping me alive, but the cigarettes are killing you
way faster than the alcohol is killing me. I'm willing
to bet, so basically, you're paying for your own demise
(13:51):
and probably a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
So that makes me feel better about it. There's a
smoker out there.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
That's spending more on cigarettes than I am on alcohol,
and at least I feel good and have some fun.
The next day, I feel bad and I wonder what
I did and what I said. There's been a few
times where I knew what I did and what I
said and ye, rah, that was pretty bad. But yeah, overall,
I think I'm winning on the alcohol versus cigarettes thing.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
So luckily I never got hooked onto that.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
But yeah, hit me up on Instagram at thee Brian
Grimes after you listen to this and tell me, is
there a stat, a weird, interesting stat you'd like to
know about your life after your life is over? These
wildfires are still going crazy, and they are crazy, like
there's tons of conspiracy theories about this. One of them
is that they're trying to burn all the evidence from
the Epstein stuff and the Diddy stuff, and I say, okay, cool,
(14:36):
I got that. But Mandy Moore's house burned down, and
I'm pretty sure there's no evidence against Mandy Moore, so
I don't think that's the way that it's going. I
did see a video of something crazy flying through, like
the smoke and stuff. Now I'm not saying aliens shut
up the place like an Independence Day with Will Smith,
but I'm just saying there is a weird video that's
(14:58):
gone around of something flying through over there, which is
a little bit wild. I don't necessarily think it's a conspiracy.
I think it's years of bad management.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And I don't live in California.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
So if you live in California and you get mad
about this, that's fine. I just can tell you what
I read. I know the Santa Anna wins are not
caused by global warming, which is one of the arguments
I was reading yesterday. It made me go back and
do some research on the Santa Ana wins. And here's
where I always say I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
The smartest guy in the room. I'm not.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Obviously I'm not, but I mean I read up before
I say anything, and so I was reading up on
the Santa Ana wins because I didn' want to say
anything that was incorrect.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
And they've been a phenomenon.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
For over five thousand years, and so one said, well,
they've never been this fast. Well that's untrue as well.
They actually had one year where the sustained winds for
a long period of time were over one hundred miles
an hour and the gusts were over one hundred and
thirty seven miles an hour.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
So that's not necessarily true either.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
So the Santa Ana wins are not a result of
the global warming thing. So and I mean forest management.
It can be an argument all day long. Obviously, climate
is changing. I've never said I'm not one of those
climate change doesn't exist. My position on it is the
climate's been changing on the planet since the planet was formed,
(16:16):
and it's going to continue to change whether we do
anything or not. I mean, that's just the evolution of
the planet because it happened before we were here. So
and I'm not saying we shouldn't do anything to, you know,
save the environment, because we should. But there are some
things that are just going to happen, because that's that's
(16:37):
the natural course of events. None of us have lived
on the planet before, Like no one's lived tomorrow or
five years from now or ten years from now, So
nobody knows that that's just not the evolution of the
planet because you can't know that, Like you could do
some science and you can see that you know, some
things are affecting it more than others, but you can't
know that the Earth isn't just evolving because that's the
natural progression of things. But I do know the Santa
(16:58):
Ana Wins have been around for five thousand years, and
I do know that they were called the devil Winds
for a while because they were so bad and they
did whip fires through the canyons and stuff. Now that
was back before Taylor Swift had a twenty five million
dollar mansion in the canyon. But still they've been around
doing that for a long time. But it's just a crazy,
sad situation, like I know, and it's only hit me.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
They're like, oh, there's celebrities who cares, but there's still
people and yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Financially, they're not going to be devastated like somebody who
lost the one house that they have that works, you know,
the nine to five one hundred percent, but there's still
people they still had to pick, you know, the last
minute what they were going to take out of their house.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I'm not a huge Whitney Cummings fan.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I did like Two Broke Girls. I thought that was
well written. But she posted about that, you know, she
having to decide whether she grabs the front page of
the first script from Two Broke Girls. And obviously that's
something you want, I mean, but like you're you're trying
to get out of your house as literally a wall
of fire is blowing your way. And so whether or
not they're a celebrity and they're gonna be fine, yes,
(18:01):
that still sucks.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Man. So it is just a crazy situation.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
And you know, people that I've worked with in the
past are dealing with a Jade who used to be
on the show with us when it was Johnny and Jade.
She's in a hotel, had to evacuate her house, which
is wild. Late Kate, who was on the show for
a long time. She is now, you know, a freelance
TV producer and she's over in la and you know,
they're same thing they're having to watch everything and make
sure they're good. Danny used to work on the show,
(18:27):
same thing, scoop of Steve who used to work on
the show. Now he's in you know, Nashville with Bobby Bones,
but he was in San Francisco in LA for a
while with Fox Sports and so he's got ties there too.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
So we we've got a lot of friends that are
you know, tidy the area. One of my best friends
from middle school, we.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Were Zach and Cody before Zach and Cody living in
the Disney Hotels. He lives out in LA, so you know,
he's dealing with the two. So it is a lot
of celebrities, and it is a lot of They're going
to be fine, but still it's not.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Cool when you watch an entire state like burns at
the ground. It's just wild.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Anyway, I think I've I think I've talked to myself
quite enough.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Thank you very much. Make sure you check out the
previous episodes of the podcast. I think I have ninety.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
This will be my ninety second episode up, so you
could technically, if you haven't been listening to the whole thing,
go back and binge listen to the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Some of them are probably a little cringe.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I think I cried on one of them because someone
had pissed me off so bad because it's something they
said about me. Anyway, you can listen to all of
them always free on the iHeartRadio app wherever you get
your podcasts. If you have the iHeartRadio app, you should
definitely make me a preset along with XL one oh.
Speaker 1 (19:34):

Because I do afternoons on the national Throwbacks platform for iHeartRadio.

Make sure you follow me on all of the social
media platforms at the Brian Grimes.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
But I got to get I got to get my
house right here.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Before I get my house right expanded into the global markets,
but still pretty cool, so Yojo rum dot com and
Yeah record set two days in a row, two days,
