[00:00:00.000 –> 00:00:25.679] I’m going to be a Thank you. What do you got in those pieces of paper to scare the shit out of me? Yeah, you know what?
[00:00:29.559 –> 00:00:30.679] I got notes because you know why cuz I’m always being accused of
[00:00:36.200 –> 00:00:39.200] Wandering not being as organized as I should be that’s just this podcast does that to people yeah, maybe so But I said to myself fucking I’m gonna I’m gonna write some things down
[00:00:39.399 –> 00:00:44.640] Okay, because there’s so much that happens since the last time we sat down. Yeah, and so I made a list
[00:00:44.640 –> 00:00:46.600] I’m gonna run through that if you don’t mind.
[00:00:46.600 –> 00:00:47.700] OK.
[00:00:47.700 –> 00:00:50.200] Since last year, I even headlined it.
[00:00:50.200 –> 00:00:53.840] Chinese spy balloon failed mutiny in Russia.
[00:00:53.840 –> 00:00:55.079] Four indictments of Trump.
[00:00:55.079 –> 00:01:00.579] Now last night was the fourth bank account records showing
[00:01:00.579 –> 00:01:04.000] Biden family took over $20 million.
[00:01:04.000 –> 00:01:05.000] Pee Wee Herman died.
[00:01:05.000 –> 00:01:08.200] I just got that in your notes.
[00:01:08.200 –> 00:01:09.200] I got that.
[00:01:09.200 –> 00:01:10.040] Yeah, I got it.
[00:01:10.040 –> 00:01:11.040] It’s right there.
[00:01:11.040 –> 00:01:12.680] And it’s right before the two-year anniversary
[00:01:12.680 –> 00:01:14.040] of the Afghan withdrawal.
[00:01:14.040 –> 00:01:16.040] I probably should have put that above Pee Wee Herman.
[00:01:16.040 –> 00:01:17.200] Why did you put Pee Wee Herman in there?
[00:01:17.200 –> 00:01:17.560] You know what?
[00:01:17.560 –> 00:01:21.439] Because when I found out that Paul Rubens died, I was sad.
[00:01:21.439 –> 00:01:24.319] I mean, it was like I’m old enough.
[00:01:24.319 –> 00:01:31.040] I actually went to a show that Paul did when he was kind of working out as Pee Wee character,
[00:01:31.040 –> 00:01:32.040] right?
[00:01:32.040 –> 00:01:33.040] And it was fantastic.
[00:01:33.040 –> 00:01:34.040] It was a great show.
[00:01:34.040 –> 00:01:36.439] This was, oh, fuck, it was years ago.
[00:01:36.439 –> 00:01:47.120] So it would have been before it was probably like 82, 83, 81, somewhere in that time frame, right?
[00:01:47.120 –> 00:01:48.040] It was a long time ago.
[00:01:48.159 –> 00:01:51.359] It was at Georgetown University in DC.
[00:01:51.840 –> 00:01:53.920] And it was a great show.
[00:01:53.920 –> 00:01:54.760] Anyway, point thing.
[00:01:55.319 –> 00:01:57.760] And then and I always thought like he didn’t get enough credit for like
[00:01:57.760 –> 00:01:58.560] Piwi’s Playhouse.
[00:01:58.560 –> 00:02:00.599] And I know what the people are like, what the fuck is he talking about?
[00:02:00.599 –> 00:02:04.280] But but he was he was really he was a good guy.
[00:02:04.280 –> 00:02:08.120] He kind of got he got off the rails with a little bit for a period of time with that.
[00:02:08.120 –> 00:02:12.039] He was wanking in a porn theater.
[00:02:12.039 –> 00:02:16.280] Yeah, but isn’t that what they do in those things, especially a gay porn theater?
[00:02:16.280 –> 00:02:17.280] Yes, yeah.
[00:02:17.280 –> 00:02:18.280] It’s got to sound weird, right?
[00:02:18.280 –> 00:02:19.280] The kids though?
[00:02:19.280 –> 00:02:20.280] Yeah.
[00:02:20.280 –> 00:02:21.280] Like porn theater.
[00:02:21.280 –> 00:02:22.280] What?
[00:02:22.280 –> 00:02:23.280] I know.
[00:02:23.280 –> 00:02:24.280] Yeah.
[00:02:24.280 –> 00:02:25.039] They used to have to go to places you had that
[00:02:25.039 –> 00:02:28.300] I don’t know if you had to back when he was doing it
[00:02:28.300 –> 00:02:34.539] I thought I don’t think there was a law, but I think back when he was doing it. There were still VHS tapes were out
[00:02:35.280 –> 00:02:39.860] I think DVDs were out back then too because this was like I want to say you got busted in like
[00:02:40.580 –> 00:02:43.379] 90 something yeah, yeah, it was it was easily
[00:02:44.060 –> 00:02:45.199] 91 okay. Yeah, so definitely V was easily 91. 91, yeah.
[00:02:45.199 –> 00:02:46.960] So definitely VHS tapes for that.
[00:02:46.960 –> 00:02:48.800] That was better than you had to go through the curtains.
[00:02:48.800 –> 00:02:49.800] Or laser discs or something.
[00:02:49.800 –> 00:02:51.319] Remember like their beads?
[00:02:51.319 –> 00:02:52.159] Yeah.
[00:02:52.159 –> 00:02:53.560] These kids today, I don’t know, jack shit.
[00:02:53.560 –> 00:02:55.199] They’re getting their porn off of a phone.
[00:02:55.199 –> 00:02:56.039] Well, that’s just it.
[00:02:56.039 –> 00:02:58.719] They don’t have an appreciation for how hard you had to work
[00:02:58.719 –> 00:03:00.479] back in certainly the 70s and 80s.
[00:03:00.479 –> 00:03:03.360] I mean, you got easier by the time the 1990s rolled around.
[00:03:03.360 –> 00:03:07.000] But you had to go on like a quest or something.
[00:03:07.000 –> 00:03:08.000] You had to be shamed.
[00:03:08.000 –> 00:03:09.000] Yeah.
[00:03:09.000 –> 00:03:11.000] What is it that you seek?
[00:03:11.000 –> 00:03:15.000] Simple facts would happen Friday night in Rubens hometown of Sarasota, Florida, familiar by now.
[00:03:15.000 –> 00:03:18.000] According to the county sheriff’s office, three detectives.
[00:03:18.000 –> 00:03:20.000] He said it three guys.
[00:03:20.000 –> 00:03:25.000] He’d catch me with jerking off. At the triple X South Trail Cinema
[00:03:25.000 –> 00:03:28.000] to watch the audience that was watching a triple bill
[00:03:28.000 –> 00:03:32.000] of Catalina 5.0 Tiger Shark, nurse Nancy,
[00:03:32.000 –> 00:03:33.719] and turn up the heat.
[00:03:33.719 –> 00:03:36.639] After the sting operation had hauled in three men
[00:03:36.639 –> 00:03:41.159] on charges of violating Florida State statute 800.03,
[00:03:41.159 –> 00:03:43.639] exposure of sexual organs.
[00:03:43.639 –> 00:03:49.919] Detective William Walters allegedly saw a man masturbate in quotes. That’s how the rap sheet spells it spells it wrong
[00:03:50.479 –> 00:03:52.479] Instead of ur it says E
[00:03:53.199 –> 00:03:57.719] In the darkened theater at 8.25 p.m. And again at 8.35 twice
[00:03:57.719 –> 00:04:03.960] Yeah twice yeah the first the first sighting wasn’t enough you had to go back together meanwhile the guys got amazing recovery powers
[00:04:03.960 –> 00:04:08.800] Yeah, 8.25, he blasts off, and then he’s back at it at 8.35.
[00:04:08.800 –> 00:04:10.360] That’s a fucking stud right there.
[00:04:10.360 –> 00:04:11.960] Yeah, and that was before Viagra.
[00:04:11.960 –> 00:04:14.280] Place under, I don’t know if that’s true.
[00:04:14.280 –> 00:04:15.599] One divider come around.
[00:04:15.599 –> 00:04:20.560] A place under arrest upon leaving the theater, the alleged offender quietly told the detectives
[00:04:20.560 –> 00:04:24.639] his famous pseudonym, and according to the police made a novel, P.W.
[00:04:24.639 –> 00:04:30.439] Ask attempt at a buy-off. He offered a performant a children’s benefit for the
[00:04:30.439 –> 00:04:35.120] sheriff’s office if the charges were dropped. A department spokesperson said
[00:04:35.120 –> 00:04:39.199] that the deputies did not feel the time they had enough probable cause to charge
[00:04:39.199 –> 00:04:43.480] charge Rubens with attempted bribery. Well is that bribery really when you say
[00:04:43.480 –> 00:04:45.959] you’re gonna perform at an event?
[00:04:45.959 –> 00:04:47.540] Isn’t it money only bribery?
[00:04:47.540 –> 00:04:49.000] No, it’s your bartering.
[00:04:49.000 –> 00:04:49.839] Your bartering?
[00:04:49.839 –> 00:04:50.680] Yeah, for sure.
[00:04:50.680 –> 00:04:52.360] Like if someone says I’ll suck your cock.
[00:04:52.360 –> 00:04:53.680] That’s bribery.
[00:04:53.680 –> 00:04:55.759] Loker reporter recognized Ruben’s name
[00:04:55.759 –> 00:04:58.060] on the arrest sheet the next day with an hour’s
[00:04:58.060 –> 00:05:01.240] the scandal machinery was roaring at full throttle.
[00:05:01.240 –> 00:05:02.560] Oh boy.
[00:05:02.560 –> 00:05:03.639] Yeah.
[00:05:03.639 –> 00:05:04.480] Yeah.
[00:05:04.480 –> 00:05:05.519] But then he, you know what he did?
[00:05:05.519 –> 00:05:08.319] Okay, so everybody makes mistakes.
[00:05:08.319 –> 00:05:15.160] But then he recovered and you know, he went on to, to, it’s a fairly harmless crime.
[00:05:15.160 –> 00:05:19.519] First of all, if you’re in a porn theater, I think you should assume that those dudes
[00:05:19.519 –> 00:05:21.560] with ring coats on are beaten off.
[00:05:21.560 –> 00:05:22.560] Yeah.
[00:05:22.560 –> 00:05:25.079] You know, I mean, just you’re wearing Robert gloves in there
[00:05:25.079 –> 00:05:30.920] and like those things are disgusting. And to be fair, I never went into one of those.
[00:05:30.920 –> 00:05:36.319] So I’m just on anecdotes, but I would imagine like porn theaters are fucking gross. You’d
[00:05:36.319 –> 00:05:40.240] have to think self, right? I mean, a regular theater is bad enough. Your feet stick to
[00:05:40.240 –> 00:05:45.139] the floor. And that’s just from the Pepsi. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:05:45.139 –> 00:05:46.139] No.
[00:05:46.139 –> 00:05:47.139] I’m a porn theater.
[00:05:47.139 –> 00:05:48.139] I got to tell you.
[00:05:48.139 –> 00:05:51.660] And honestly, the nurse Nancy was an underrated film, I think.
[00:05:51.660 –> 00:05:54.180] So there was that.
[00:05:54.180 –> 00:05:55.180] So that’s Paul Ruppens.
[00:05:55.180 –> 00:05:56.180] That’s Pee Wee Herman.
[00:05:56.180 –> 00:05:57.180] He died.
[00:05:57.180 –> 00:05:58.660] I just made a note because I thought that.
[00:05:58.660 –> 00:06:00.500] My friend Phil Hartman worked with him.
[00:06:00.500 –> 00:06:03.300] That’s how he kind of got his start and show business on Pee Wee’s Playhouse.
[00:06:03.300 –> 00:06:04.300] I see.
[00:06:04.300 –> 00:06:06.160] I didn’t know that. Yeah. He was on Pee Wee’s Playhouse. He was one of the writers Peewee’s Playhouse. Yeah, yeah, he was on Peewee’s Playhouse
[00:06:06.160 –> 00:06:10.959] He was one of the writers for Peewee’s Playhouse. I’ll be damn yeah. He always spoke very highly of Peewee
[00:06:11.560 –> 00:06:13.560] Yeah, oh
[00:06:13.800 –> 00:06:16.279] I fucking love that show when I was a kid. Yeah
[00:06:17.279 –> 00:06:24.560] It was hilarious and Peewee’s big adventure is a fucking amazing movie exactly and that was when did that come out?
[00:06:24.560 –> 00:06:29.519] That was, I want to say 89.
[00:06:29.519 –> 00:06:30.519] Yeah.
[00:06:30.519 –> 00:06:31.519] Yeah.
[00:06:31.519 –> 00:06:32.519] Well, I was dating this girl.
[00:06:32.519 –> 00:06:35.439] I remember specifically the girl that I was dating at the time, that I was dating, like
[00:06:35.439 –> 00:06:40.560] right around, I was graduating high school, because we were crying laughing.
[00:06:40.560 –> 00:06:42.360] It was so funny.
[00:06:42.360 –> 00:06:44.319] Like back then, it was so unique.
[00:06:44.319 –> 00:06:45.800] Don’t forget to tell him large
[00:06:45.800 –> 00:06:52.120] margins, ain’t ya? Fun fucking movie. Yeah I remember I took a date to Pee-Wee’s show, his
[00:06:52.120 –> 00:06:56.959] comedy show, and I mean the place was rolling, right? He really was. It was a
[00:06:56.959 –> 00:07:01.720] it was an interesting cat, but anyway. I like them seeing that side of you Mike Baker.
[00:07:01.720 –> 00:07:08.240] Yeah. The Pee-Wee Herman. I still have I still have a pair of his, this guy sound weird,
[00:07:08.240 –> 00:07:09.740] signed big underpants.
[00:07:09.740 –> 00:07:12.959] I kept them all these years,
[00:07:12.959 –> 00:07:14.519] cause they’re so fucking funny.
[00:07:14.519 –> 00:07:16.560] And yeah, I’ll give them to one of my boys.
[00:07:16.560 –> 00:07:17.920] I’m not sure which one.
[00:07:17.920 –> 00:07:19.839] Maybe put it in a museum somewhere.
[00:07:19.839 –> 00:07:21.759] Probably worth a lot of money one day.
[00:07:21.759 –> 00:07:24.639] Yeah, I don’t even know where we go from Peewee Herman.
[00:07:24.639 –> 00:07:31.519] We go from that to whatever notes you got. Oh yeah. Yeah well we’re gonna
[00:07:31.519 –> 00:07:38.240] unfreeze a lot of money for the Iran prisoner swap. That’s another story but
[00:07:38.240 –> 00:07:42.560] we could start with the Chinese spy balloon since I started there first. So
[00:07:42.560 –> 00:07:45.439] what is your take on the Chinese by balloon?
[00:07:46.540 –> 00:07:49.279] They said that Trump, that there was a bunch of those
[00:07:49.279 –> 00:07:50.680] that were happening while Trump was in office,
[00:07:50.680 –> 00:07:52.279] but they didn’t tell him about it
[00:07:52.279 –> 00:07:54.279] because they were worried he’s gonna shoot him down,
[00:07:54.279 –> 00:07:56.019] which I thought was fucking amazing.
[00:07:57.079 –> 00:07:57.819] That might, you know what?
[00:07:57.819 –> 00:07:59.379] I’m not gonna, at this stage of the game,
[00:07:59.379 –> 00:08:03.560] I’m not gonna say anything who doesn’t sound plausible.
[00:08:03.560 –> 00:08:05.000] Everything sounds plausible now.
[00:08:05.000 –> 00:08:05.839] Yeah.
[00:08:05.839 –> 00:08:09.000] So the Chinese regime continues,
[00:08:09.000 –> 00:08:11.439] just like with the fucking Wuhan lab,
[00:08:11.439 –> 00:08:13.879] the Chinese regime continues to just say
[00:08:13.879 –> 00:08:15.360] it was a weather balloon, right?
[00:08:15.360 –> 00:08:17.040] It got blown off course, it was a weather balloon.
[00:08:17.040 –> 00:08:19.360] Well, A, it didn’t get blown off course.
[00:08:19.360 –> 00:08:21.160] It had a massive array of propellers,
[00:08:21.160 –> 00:08:23.160] it had a rudder, it had solar panels
[00:08:23.160 –> 00:08:24.680] to keep those propellers churning.
[00:08:24.680 –> 00:08:30.180] They know exactly what they were doing, the way they were going. And you know,
[00:08:30.180 –> 00:08:37.419] it shows up over whatever Alaska, the end of January, whatever, and proceeds to travel
[00:08:37.419 –> 00:08:46.320] across the country in a path that is clearly designed to collect intelligence from sensitive facilities.
[00:08:46.320 –> 00:08:48.000] It flies over Montana.
