Hello, friends. You're about to listen to this week's show with our special guest, Dan Belson. Dan is one half of the Be There with Belson podcast. I highly recommend you check them

SPEAKER_00: 0:13

out. Listen to them after, of course, you listen to all of our episodes. Unfortunately,

SPEAKER_01: 0:18

I set up our audio incorrectly, so Dan sounds great. Amanda and I don't sound like we usually sound, and that's because of me. I'm sorry, folks. I think you'll still enjoy it. Dan was great, very generous with his time and wonderfully irreverent as usual. And by the way, if you have any complaints about anything that Dan has to say, you may address them to his brother, Gavin Belson. All right, let's start the show. Welcome to Super Familiar with the Wilsons. I'm

SPEAKER_02: 1:04

Josh. I'm Amanda.

SPEAKER_01: 1:06

And that's Dan. Hi, Dan. Hi, guys. How are we doing? Very, very well. So we are excited to have Dan. Dan is on the Be There with Belson podcast out of the United Kingdom. Hoping to have Will Smith on very soon. So that's going to be a big draw. So hasn't got back to me yet, but... Any day now. Any day now. Well, you have to tell me what your strategy is for getting Will Smith. Have you heard of Instagram? Yes, I'm familiar. I've sent 36 Instagram messages so far. Once you send too many, you get a warning and it says like, don't harass people and stuff. I'm just going to ignore that. I'm just going to carry on. Well, see, I didn't know that. And I had planned because I tagged you in a post today and I tagged, I don't know if you noticed I tagged Kanye in that post. Oh, did you? You didn't notice that. So I was just going to, every time I referred to you, I was going to also tag Kanye. Eventually he'll get in touch. Oh, we're his people. He loves a bit of publicity, that guy. He really, really does. So you have had a bit of a, a bit of a blow, haven't you? Hmm. You tell me, have I? You just had a tropical storm in the United Kingdom there. Yeah, I'm living through another right now, so if I get blown away, you know why? It's old Franklin. One of your great leaders, Franklin? Oh, he was, yes. Benjamin Franklin, yeah. He had the kite, didn't he? See, I know about Tropical Storm Franklin, and they named it that because it's got a lot of lightning. okay right no but i like how you had to look at me and dan for confirmation that franklin was one of the founding fathers of our country he's one of the big ones everyone knows him yes yes yes he ate a lot yes he invented bifocals he had the kite and the key he's on money oh yeah benjamin's yeah it's all about benjamin's that's right He and Alexander Hamilton had an affair. No, I think it was Alexander Hamilton and somebody else. Is it rumored, Benjamin Franklin? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it really? Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Is that true? No. Well, no, it's a rumor. I don't know that it's true. But there are rumors about Alexander Hamilton's sexuality and some of his more famous partners. Okay, I've got a question. Go ahead. Alexander Hamilton, isn't that just a play? Is that real life?

UNKNOWN: 3:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 3:15

There was an Alexander Hamilton. No, no, no. You're thinking of Alexander Graham Bell, who did not exist. I'm confused. Isn't it that guy, Min Miranda or something? He just made up a play, didn't he? Min Miranda, who is one of America's top playwrights. And he wrote a play about a guy called Hamilton, who never existed. And they did a few hip-hop tracks. Well, he was the Secretary of Treasury, wasn't he? Lin Monroe? No, it was Andrew Hamilton. This is very confusing, your history. Well, I will tell you, we are a little bit confused today, Dan, and everyone listening, because we got run off the road yesterday. No way. Yeah, so we were on Interstate 75, which is a big old four. Is it four lanes or five lanes? It's a big interstate. Six

SPEAKER_02: 3:58

lanes.

SPEAKER_01: 3:59

Six lanes. Well, actually, it turns out that it's six lanes plus a shoulder, which we drove on for a

SPEAKER_02: 4:06

while.

SPEAKER_01: 4:06

We're coming home. After a lovely evening, seeing some live music. And there, in front of us, I noticed there's one of these big car carriers. So, you know, it's the double-decker trailer with the cars on top and bottom. Do you have those there? Yeah, yeah, I know them. It was in front of us, but it was swerving a little bit. And so I said to you,

SPEAKER_00: 4:25

I said, I'm going to back off from this because it's making me kind of nervous. Because I was directly behind it. So what I did was I switched lanes so I wasn't in the same lane

SPEAKER_01: 4:33

that it was. It was in the center lane and we were in the far right lane. was getting close to where I needed to exit, so I sped up a little bit, and I was kind of next to it. And then, I'm not sure where I was going, but I was thinking about something or another, as I often do when I drive, and Amanda just yells, you know, be careful, and I look, and this thing is cutting us off, and somehow... Somehow I did a freaking Fast and Furious move where I took us onto the shoulder. Not Paul Walker, I hope. No, no, no. Nope. But very close.

SPEAKER_00: 5:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 5:06

And life flashed before my eyes and all this. Well, I was convinced we were going to flip because I was watching the truck's rearview mirror because it says, like, if you can't see me in the mirror, then I can't see you. And so I made sure that, like, our headlights, he could see our headlights. And then he just started coming over. I mean, like, in just... I mean, he wasn't trying to edge us out. He just didn't see us or didn't look. And so he would have hit us. So then Josh swerved. And I thought we were going to flip because he swerved hard. And we were going maybe 70 miles per hour. But then he corrected back. And then we just sat in the grass for a while. And then we came home and I had to take a Xanax. Bloody hell. That sounds scary. Yeah, I didn't like it. It wasn't good. Did your life flash before your eyes? Josh's did. Mine didn't. Oh. Mine did twice because I haven't had a very interesting life. So I had to watch it twice. And I'll tell you what, Dan, I don't remember turning the wheel. It could have been one of those things, you know, that people always say, oh, I had a guardian angel. Maybe your guardian angel grabbed the wheel, turned it for you. And that's why you don't remember it. I did not see Della Reese, so... I don't think he gets this reference. That's a reference for our American audience. Touched by an Angel? No, because he's also younger than us. That was an old... Touched by an Angel, did you say? It was the show... No, it's not Touched by Angel, which is my life in prison. It's Touched by an Angel. Well, I'm glad you're both safe now. You must have been a bit shaky afterwards. What about the rest of the drive home? Weren't you a bit... I was okay. I was fine. She was losing her mind. He was mostly laughing the whole way home and then mimicking how I went. And he was just like laughing about that. It was like, I don't. And then when I said, don't make fun of me, he was like, listen, we just had a very serious experience and you need to let me process how I'm going to process, which is apparently they're making fun of me. That's fair. I think. Well done, Josh. Well done. So brushes with death, Dan, have you had any brushes with death? No, none really. I haven't had like a major accident or anything. I was once in hospital and, um, I had these pains I kept getting. I had gallstones, you know gallstones in the old gallbladder. I had that. And then it kept coming back and they weren't doing much. I went to the hospital once and then my dad took me and I said, I'm just going to the bathroom. Went to the bathroom. Then I had to call him on my mobile and said, I'm lying on the floor. Can you come and get me? I'm stuck. Couldn't get up. Because the pain was so bad? It was so bad. So they rushed me through and then I had... Pancreatitis or something? Is that what it's called? So I was in hospital for about seven days, no food and whatnot. Did you have to have a gallbladder removed or no? I did on New Year's Eve. A New Year's Eve spectacular. That's a rock and fun party. But I'm so glad it's gone. It was awful. I hated that thing. And where's the gallbladder located? I mean, not yours. It's away somewhere. But where is it in your body? I want to say around about the middle. Glad you took your phone with you to the bathroom. Yeah. And I would say I'm recommending to everyone, get your gallbladder taken out. It's useless. Elective surgery. Yeah. What else? I've had my appendix out. That was no good as well. That was useless. Got rid of that. Isn't your liver basically useless as well? No, I think that we need that. Yeah, but you hear about people taking out livers and kidneys all the time. What? Can't you sell them? Huh? No, no, no. I'm not talking about for the black market, although that is an idea. But apparently also you don't really need blood because you can sell that as well. I didn't sell my blood, but someone took my blood this week. A pint of it.

UNKNOWN: 8:25

What?

SPEAKER_01: 8:25

Huh? Because you were donating it. Not because someone attacked you and just took it. No, a nice person took it when I offered it up. For no money, no money. I'm very good like that. Probably saved a few lives.

SPEAKER_00: 8:41

And now, Wilson Planet Watch. Looking at ways that we can save the planet together.

SPEAKER_01: 8:47

So we went to a restaurant. And do they have a big emphasis in the UK on recycling and recyclable materials and all this and that? I think so. I mean, I try to recycle quite a lot. Do you ever find they're starting to make products out of not paper or not plastic, but alternative materials? Wow. I've got something to tell you right now. Do it. I purchased something this week, something new for me. It was a bamboo toothbrush. Never had one before. But plastic's very bad, so I thought, let me get the bamboo. One of the worst things I've ever bought. It's awful. Right, because bamboo cuts you, right? The bamboo's very sharp. It's not got splinters. They bloody, you know. And it's a brush. I mean, it's a brush attached to the end of the bamboo. It's not like he's brushing with it. Oh, I pictured him. He's just like a panda at the zoo, just chewing every evening before he's chewing on a thing of What's so bad about it? The feeling, the texture on my tongue, it makes me feel a bit, you know, that noise. It's horrible. I'm going to get rid of it. But that's recyclable. So if that's what you're asking, yes. That is exactly what I'm asking. And what they've done here in our county is they're all up in arms about straws. Like that's the big cause is straws. And so they've gone from plastic straws to paper straws, which I bloody hate. Just that feeling. Oh, God, it just makes me. They're just so flimsy straight away. You have a couple of sucks and it's just falling apart. It's nonsense. Wait, we're still talking about straws, right? But we went into the Italian restaurant the other night and pulled out the straw from the packaging. and it was, I can only describe it as brown and slightly hairy. Yes, this is very accurate. And sticky. It looked like the color of like medium steeped tea. This is a straw. Yes. So it looked like someone had taken the straw dragged it across the floor and then packaged it. And like I said, it was sticky as well. It looked like it had coffee grounds. It looked like it was made out of tea and coffee grounds. Why was it sticky? I don't understand. I thought something was like really wrong with it. It had a company name on the straw wrapper. So we looked it up. Amanda looked it up because I was just annoyed and I didn't want to deal with it anymore. And it's a straw that's made out of agave and eucalyptus. Right? The agave is why it's sticky. Is it? Yeah, agave is syrupy. Okay. This restaurant had decided we're on board with using materials that can go into the landfill, that can go into this and go into that. But the only problem is, is number one, they didn't tell us what to expect. So I legitimately thought that this was a twice-used straw that they had repackaged. So there's that. And number two, it was sticky to the touch. It had what looked like little hairs in it. And it had a slight taste. Like it brought its own flavor. What sort of flavor are we talking? It was unknown. I don't know. I've never eaten eucalyptus and agave together, so that was the flavor. Awful. So I was trying to think of, okay, I'm behind saving the planet and all this and that. What are some other things that we can use for a straw to accomplish the same thing? And so immediately my mind went to rigatoni pasta. You had rigatoni?

SPEAKER_02: 12:13

But what if you're

SPEAKER_01: 12:14

gluten-free? Well, no, they make gluten-free pasta. That's true. Yeah, they must be. So you get a long rigatoni right as your straw, drink your drink, I'm done, give it back to the restaurant, and it's tomorrow night's pasta dish. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Why? Don't be giving it back to them for another use. That's the point, though. They're going to boil it for safety. I think eventually we're all just going to have to carry our own metal straws that we take everywhere with us. They have

SPEAKER_02: 12:43

those.

SPEAKER_01: 12:44

Do

SPEAKER_02: 12:44

they? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 12:45

I want you all to be with me, though, with this idea of finding materials that are totally, because even everyone having their own metal straws, like that will break down and people will forget their straws. And also we need to make these straws, right? But if you use something that's totally recyclable, like rigatoni pasta, bada bing, bada boom. Celery. Celery, fine. No. You'd get the proper suction, would you? Yeah, that's true. It'd be like a slide, though. But no, it would have to go backwards, so that wouldn't really work. But it would only taste good in Bloody Mary. There must be other foodstuffs we could use if we rack our brains. Well, what about using bread? No, that's worse than the paper straw. No, no, no. As a sponge, sponge it up and then squeeze it into our mouth. I'm not squeezing a drink into my mouth. That's... Or you could just take a sponge if you're going to do bread. Right? No, no, but again, we'd have to manufacture the sponge. We're trying to get away from manufacturing. Okay, what about Twizzlers? Oh, those things are rank, though. Do you know what Twizzlers are? Licorice. Like licorice. The red ones? Yeah. Would they work? I mean, they would work. When I was a kid, I used to buy Twizzlers at the movie theater and drink my Sprite through it. Well, there we go. It's just not big, but still, but also that's not good for you. Well, it probably tastes better than the agave eucalyptus business. Yeah, well, let's put this on the back burner. We've got to figure this out. We've got it. Between us three, we can save the planet. I feel like I've already come up with the winning idea, and y'all are freaking the part of the shark tank that no one loves here. Which what? The bread or the rigatoni? Which do you love better? No, I'm not squeezing drinks into my mouth. I mean, hell, then let's just go back to just bring the cow to the table and then you're done. Or like we can only drink when it's raining. Well, like, yes, like the book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. You just get whatever comes from the sky. Here's my question. Do we need straws? That's what I was about to say. Do we need them? We don't need them. I don't think we do. You know what you don't drink with a straw? Wine, beer. Two of the best drinks. I've had wine with a straw. Well. What?

SPEAKER_00: 14:57

And now it's time for Money Talk with Dan Belson.

SPEAKER_01: 15:05

I ventured into the NFT world this week. You haven't. I have. Go ahead. I'm so good at NFTs, I don't actually know if I own any NFTs. What have you done? I don't know. I bought, you have to buy some, what's it called? Ethereum or something? Ethereum is a cryptocurrency, yes. And then I tried to buy these two NFTs and it said it was all happening and whatnot. I don't know where they are or what I've done or if I have purchased them. So it's all going well. What are they? I don't remember now. Oh, you don't want to say? No, it's nothing weird. You don't want to say? There's no Bored Apes or anything like that. I can't remember. But they're out there in the world and I may own them, but I may not. And someone's just taken my money. And good luck to them, I say. They've swindled me well. This is my understanding of M&Ts. And by the way, I've got some available for you should you want to purchase them. Okay. Well, just send me your bank details and I'll take care of everything. We need

SPEAKER_02: 16:02

to draft the money first.

SPEAKER_01: 16:02

Tell me I've bought them. The way it's been explained to me is it's kind of the same deal except a lot more expensive for these things where you can buy a star and have it named after you in the international star. Or you can buy like a little square foot of land in Scotland and now you're a lord or a lady.

UNKNOWN: 16:20

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01: 16:20

Same thing, except thousands of dollars. But you're an artiste. Do you hate NFTs? I don't understand them enough to hate them, which is odd because usually when Americans don't understand stuff, they automatically hate them. I really, I can't wrap my mind around what it's all about, which in theory, you know, something has been assigned a value. And so you're investing your money, hoping that that thing keeps its value. So the reality thing, it's the same as money. Money is arbitrarily valuable. Like there's no inherent value in money. That's true. Just because there's no inherent value in gold or silver. It's just that one day we woke up and decided, well, shit, okay, this costs a lot. Yeah. Now we've got Justin Bieber spending$500,000 on an ape and stuff. What? I don't know. I do not pay attention to what Justin Bieber does. I'm sorry. You're going to have to diagram that sentence for me because I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Justin Bieber, he's big in the NFT game now. Money to burn. I don't think it really matters to him, does it? Yeah. I can't mock it if I don't understand it. I'd like to sound a huge hypocrite alert on myself.

SPEAKER_02: 17:31

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01: 17:32

So you know how people watch other people playing video games on, what is the platform they do that, Twitch? Twitch, yeah. Twitch or Discord, people sit and watch people play video. Have you ever done that? Have you ever indulged in that? No. Do you make fun of people who do that? I don't make fun of them, but I do not understand that. That's something I don't understand as well. I heavily had fun with that until I remembered way back in the day, we would gather at my friend David Guzman's house. may he rest in peace, and sit for hours watching each other play Super Mario. I don't feel like it's a spectator sport. No, it was. We would sit, we'd get the chips, and we'd watch each other play. And then a few years ago, I would go over to my friend Jason's house and watch them play Red Dead Redemption. Have you ever heard of this game? I've played that. Well, I've played the second one. Good fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We used to sit and just watch each other play it for hours. That is weird. Is it? I think it is. What are you getting out of that? I don't understand. I don't know, but we did it. But it was the idea that you took turns though, right? And you each played. I guess. Well, let's see. That game was fun because it's called an open world game. Are you familiar with open world games? And so the idea is that you had your missions, but then you can go do whatever you wanted.

SPEAKER_02: 18:52

Yes.

SPEAKER_01: 18:52

Including, oddly enough, if you just decided you were annoyed at your horse, you could skin it. No, that's awful. You could shoot it and skin it. Did you do that to your horse, Dan Wilson? Definitely not. No, no, no, no, no. That's awful. You lie. I skinned other animals. I wouldn't skin my horse. It's a virtual horse, though. I wouldn't. No, it's still not okay. It's an NFT horse. Okay. But this is my point to you, though, is that when people are watching people on Twitch or on YouTube doing the playthroughs, it's not the reciprocal you play, then I'm going to get to play. It's that I'm just going to watch you play. The five-year-old does it. He watches kids play Roblox and Minecraft, and he's developed this vocabulary that... I know only comes from that because he'll be playing his little game on his tablet and he'll be like, are you kidding me right now? And he'll say things that he hears these other gamers say. Maybe he just watches a lot of John McEnroe. Yes, that's playing in our house because we live in a time machine. John McEnroe. Can you not ask the five-year-old, break it down, what he enjoys about it? Because I don't get... why they watch other people doing stuff. Like, don't they want to do it themselves? To be honest, I've sat with him and watched the Minecraft things. And that's interesting because they're building all these elaborate things. And I'm sorry, it's interesting to me. What can I tell you? All right, hypocrite. I am a hypocrite. You're a modern man. Whenever I join a social media platform, all of a sudden it becomes not cool anymore. You yourself has made it not cool? Me personally, yes. As soon as I join Facebook, then it's like, oh, look at all the old people on Facebook. Yeah. As soon as I join Instagram, done. Actually, I'm on TikTok now, so I think that it's officially over. Well, Dan, you're big in the TikTok world, aren't you? I am trying to be. Oh, I am trying so hard. Nobody cares about my TikToks. Why don't people care? I don't know. It's a hidden jewel. I feel like you're half a step away from Sundance. I'm going to have to confess something that no one else knows. Nobody else knows this. So I have thousands of likes on my TikToks recently. Thousands. Maybe two and a half thousand on certain videos. I paid for those. I haven't told anyone that. It said if you pay this amount, it goes more public. You'll get more likes, more followers. I got the likes. I didn't get the followers, I tell you. Okay, but no, you paid to promote it. You didn't pay for them to add a thousand likes. So you were not as sad as I thought you were. Oh, well, that's a bonus. Josh is looking it up now. I don't know what to do with myself right now. I cannot believe it. Look, sometimes you've got to pay for promotion. It's all advertising, okay? Just do it. We've done some Facebook marketing, and it was pointless. Yeah, I did it on Instagram. I got absolutely nothing out of that, nothing at all. Okay, wait a second. So three likes on that one. Okay, ignore that one. That one I haven't promoted, clearly. Wait, which one did you promote? Oh, my God. Well, it's probably the 2,400 one. 52 likes, 2,475 views, 3,331 views. So those are the promoted, as you can tell. Oh, God. Don't judge me. It's promotion. I'm trying to get this thing off the ground. Immediately tell the people what your TikTok handle is so they can go find it. It's BeThereWithBelson. Just look it up. BeThereWithBelson. It's there for you. You'll find it. Just folks know that this man is absolutely for sale. He is for sale. You can have him for probably not very much. I'll sell anything. Body parts that I've got left over. You can have those. Well, you don't have any left over. He's got the gallbladder in a little bottle if someone would like to buy that. I don't have that because I asked to keep it and they threw it away. They didn't even let me keep that. Yes, but you have a picture of it. It could be an NFT. It doesn't matter. You don't need to have the original thing. Oh, my God. I can't believe that you just told me that. That is amazing. Stop judging me. Stop judging. Now I'm going to have to tell my brother or he'll hear it through this. Nah. I also saw, did you see McDonald's have got in China, they've got exercise bikes. So while you're eating your McDonald's. They don't. Do they? I think it was China or Japan. All the same. Can you just skip McDonald's and not have to exercise? Well, if you think you deserve the treat, but you're also thinking, oh, the calories. But here's the thing, though. It's not like McDonald's is good fuel for you. So all you're doing is you're hastening the heart attack.

SPEAKER_02: 23:45

Right.

SPEAKER_01: 23:46

I saw the video. They weren't exactly working hard. Their legs were going at a slow pace. But did they make you do it? Is it like you have to do this to get the food? Your food is on a conveyor that is powered by the power of your legs. Oh, that's incredible. They had normal tables as well. They weren't doing this. It's up to you if you want to. So it just doesn't strike me that the people who would wander into a McDonald's would automatically even know what that mechanism would do. What's that? What's that? How does that work? This would take off over there, wouldn't it? What, over here? No. Oh, hell no. Oh, hell no. People would put their drink on it. What is this, to hang my backpack? I don't know. Nope. Nope, sir. No, we Americans, we avoid effort if at all possible. Well, when Russia nukes us all, it won't matter anyway, will it? Cool. The last time you quizzed me and Amanda, it was just absolute gibberish. What was it about? I don't even remember. I blocked it out. It was so bad. We were just looking blankly at him for ages. Nothing made sense. It was awful. Can we just have a nice quiz about John McEnroe? So this is our quiz about John McEnroe. This is a song-based quiz. And so all you're trying to do is get the song title and the artist, right? This is what we did the last time. Right, and it was so good, I wanted to revisit it. Okay, but you haven't put anything through Google Translate. No, no, no. So this is just clever workplace. What if it's not clever? Listen, there's no dumb questions, just dumb people. So here's my example, okay? This is a freebie. This won't count towards your final grade, but this is my example, okay? The song title is... It's already nine o'clock. Everyone's here. Turn up the music, Mr. DJ, by the Injured Pupil Lagumes. That's the Black Eyed Peas. Right. Let's get it started. Yeah, get the party started. Let's get it started, yeah. It's already nine. Everyone's here. Turn up the music, Mr. DJ. Get the party started. Okay. And give me the title. What, the artist again? What was the clue? The Injured Pupil Legumes. Okay,

SPEAKER_02: 26:31

okay,

SPEAKER_01: 26:32

yeah. Okay, I'll give you that. What? No, that's not how this works. Okay, but is there a category? Is there a theme? These are songs. Right. There are many, many songs in the world. These are songs that I've heard. Oh, good. I went through and I made reasonably certain that you all would know these songs. Are we racing against each other? Are we buzzing in? What are we doing here? No, no, no. Just y'all collaborate. Y'all collaborate and try to figure it out. How about that? Y'all are on a team and you're going against me. Okay. You have the answers. Okay. Yeah, it's fair. All right. So the song title is Karate Move. Karate Move by No One Likes You. Okay. Karate Move by No One Likes You. The crane. Isn't that what the karate kid does? Okay.

Risky infantile blackjack move by a woman with English legs who shakes Bill's stick at you. Well, I know what this is, not based on your clues, but it's Hit Me Baby One More Time by Britney Spears. Excellent. Yes. Let me just break that down for me. Risky infantile blackjack move. Hit me, baby. That's how I got there was blackjack and hit me.

SPEAKER_02: 37:39

Brit.

SPEAKER_01: 37:39

Brit knees. Who shakes Bill's stick at you. William Shakespeare. Oh, Bill's stick. What a stretch that was, but we got it. Yay. I think Josh wins. Josh always wins. This is the best one we've ever done. It's only because Dan is here. That was top class, honestly. I don't know how you haven't got your own TV show. All right, so now is the part of our show where we give recommendations. Dan Belson, I know that you've prepared something. Can I just recommend that you both go away right now, this minute, and go onto Netflix and possibly watch a documentary about Mr. Kanye West? The first part is out now, and you're going to love it, and you're going to think, man, he really is something. And let's cut in some slack, hey, guys? Come on. He's a great guy. I think he means well. I said this before we started recording. I think he is mentally not very healthy right now. And so we should cut him some slack. But somebody should also take away his ability to post on platforms. Yeah. And when you see his relationship with his mother, now she's not around. If she was around, I think he'd be doing a lot better. And she'd be like guiding him. And now he's like, who's there for him, really? Not Kim. Look at you humanizing Kanye. Hey, it's what I do. You carry on killing the planet with your plastic straws and stop giving. And I'm trying to help people. All right. So, folks, you heard it. So go to his TikTok and give him some unpaid for likes and follows because he's such a freaking great guy. Be there with Belson. I'm going to do a Kanye West TikTok and everyone's going to love it. Now I'm expecting that. Like within that next couple of days, a Kanye TikTok. Amanda? So I did. Yeah, I did read a New York Times article. And I mean, friends, it's one of the free ones because, you know, the Times will make you subscribe. It is it's the New York Times in the morning. You can go subscribe to it. It's by a journalist named Melissa Kirsch. And it's about how life resumes. And it's just about how we transition back into being in the world after death. languishing and how we need to look for ways of connecting with people instead of forcing ourselves to do things. Like sometimes it can feel really overwhelming to be, well, you guys have been out though. You're going to, you're going to wrestling and you're going to places and we've been going out all along. I mean, like in safe ways, but we tried to go to the theater and it was, there was a couple thousand people and we felt really sort of overwhelmed by the being in really close proximity. And so it's an interesting article about how we all kind of reemerge and finding our space back into society. And it has a link to proper social etiquette, should any of us have forgotten while we were staying at home. I think some people have forgotten. I'd like to know, Josh, do you have a recommendation for us? Drink more beer. That's my recommendation. Beer is good for you. It has several health benefits. And the more you drink, the healthier you will be. all right amanda and dan that's all there is there is no more dan tell tell us tell the people how they can get a hold of your content please follow us on instagram and that's what it's called be there with belson follow you know wherever you get your podcasts be there with belson but more importantly than anything get on the old tiktok be there with belson and get me some real likes from real people that's what we're after and also If you've got any NFTs, let me know.
