 What is happening everybody is a new episode I'll have to be talking number 688. It is a solo edition today, a solo episode. I'm flying solo and all kinds of stuff to get into today. Glad you're here. Thank you for joining me. And thanks for joining me every week. You guys have a good weekend or what's happening? It's been fucking raining here again in LA. That's every week. It's just insane. Over just a full blown Seattle junior now. Just rains, you know, three days in a row then it's sunny for about a minute and then it rains again. Same shit I talked about last week. Just nonstop rain. Rained on those fuckers out there running the marathon. The LA marathon was yesterday. Just fucking up the streets. Just fucking up the streets. Just, you know, you want to have the LA marathon? Just have them run through like areas where nobody goes. Like send them out there and van eyes through the industrial area. You know, give them some obstacles or have them run through what's that call down there the fucking, you know, the downtown just tent city down there. Have them run through there. See if they can make it through. Just like a game of Frogger. Just dudes out there. Get them. Man, zombie, zombie apocalypse, zombie apocalypse. Fuck. Anyway, it was funny. Somebody had retweeted something I tweeted and I was like, did I say that? And I looked, I don't know how people do this but do they go through your entire feed from years and years? Who's got that kind of time? Just scrolling through and let me look at it real quick. He retweets it and I'm like, I don't think I tweeted that and then I was like, oh, I did but it was in 2015. That's how long I've been wasting my life away on social media. 2015 on Twitter I wrote, run your fucking marathon on a treadmill like everybody else does, assholes. Fuck the LA marathon. That's the hashtag. So they must have searched, fuck the LA marathon hashtag and I just searched it. And there hasn't been a tweet with that since mine and before that, that hashtag was 2013 it was used. So I don't know who's just searching it. Someone's stuck in traffic because that's what happened. See, LA just completely shuts down and they don't give a fuck about anything. They go, we're going to just shut down this area from downtown all the way out to the beach. And so just go fuck yourself if you got to get around and that's basically what they do. And so you can't drive anywhere. All the side streets are all jammed up just like the Academy Awards. It's just the fucking non-stop shit show all year of just the city goes, we're doing this and everybody goes, oh, okay. You know, like the Thanksgiving parade, parades. In 2023 a fucking parade, then the LA marathon, then the Academy Awards. I'm down for all of these by the way. I'm not fucking knocking on them. I'm just saying, just let them run around the cars and shit. We just drive and you know, oh shit there's some fucking people here running. I don't know. Anyway, it rained on the marathoners yesterday. I don't even know why I opened up for that because it did not affect me at all today. I stayed in for most of the day and then went out to some open houses. I love going to open houses, man. I've said it before, you go and you just look at people's fucking bad taste or good taste inside their houses. There's not really any, you know shit shows these days in the open houses because these people hire these stagers. So you walk in and you go like, fuck this guy's houses dope. But really, if you looked at some photos when he was living in there, it's just a hoarder fest. And then they get all the hoarding shit out of there and they bring in like cool furniture and clean it up and you think like, man, this guy really has it going on. So I went to some open houses and then, you know, just sat around, man. Sat around, it was the first weekend I wasn't on the road for like four weeks. And like I said, last week, just floating around, life still lost. Doing comedy, podcasting, trying to figure out how to get to another level. And, you know, you just sit around some days you're like, should I even get out of bed? I don't know how these people, it's so funny. I've been really listening to this, a lot of Rick Rubin lately, he's on a podcast. Let me tell you what it is, it's like three hours. And I don't really listen to podcasts but I listen to anything Rick Rubin's on because I try to listen to people that I really, really respect and people that have made it in life, not necessarily just monetary-wise or fame, but just to be able to reach some kind of level of zen. I don't know how they do it. The podcast is called Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. Rick Rubin was on February 13th and it's three hours. I was telling Jeslinik about this because we were both talking about his book that he has out right now and it's a lot of zen stuff. And I'm constantly trying to figure out, my brain is cooked, it's definitely scattered and the longer I live, the weirder it gets. And it does help with comedy writing but it gets in the way of a lot of shit too. And I sit there and think about like, how do these guys like Rick Rubin and Jim Carrey, a former comedian, one of the funniest fucking guys at the store ever, Jim Carrey, just huge fame from the store to living color to one of my favorite movies, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. What a great fucking movie that was. But I'm always listening to them and they're always so zen and they're like, yeah, you just gotta get up, you gotta do a little yoga, you gotta do some meditation. And I'm always like, fuck, I'm doing all of this, man. How are you getting there? And then I realized what it is. They keep forgetting the one fact that they're riches, fuck. And people go, oh, money ain't gonna fix you. Hey, fuck you. Yes, it is. I don't care what anybody says. A good grip of fucking cash and, you know, in the bank. And you know, I know it's gonna fucking fix me because I won't have to live with thin walls here in neighbors anymore. I don't have to stress out each month like, oh my God, I lost three people on the Patreon, fuck. That's what they fucking forget to say. The big, big key to that is, Rick should be like, yeah, you should wake up in the morning and meditate and drink some green tea. Deep, deep breaths, deep breaths, three of them. And then do some yoga and then open up your Wells Fargo app and just look at your massive amount of cash. Which by the way, man, I don't, you know, I'm pretty fucking street smart. I know a lot of stuff that's going on and shit, but the world is a goddamn shit show. These banks are collapsing. Everybody's about to drop bombs on each other. Nuclear bombs and, you know, China, Russia, Ukraine, the United States, everybody's ready to bomb each other. It's almost like they're bored and they're like, we've had these fucking bombs forever. Let's use them. I'm telling you, man, I fucking open up the internet each day and it's like, wow, the banks, it's crazy. And you know what, I don't even dig in to find out what it's about because I just don't want that in my fucking brain. You know what, if I'm gonna die, I don't wanna know how. I just wanna be cruising down the street and here it comes. That's what I was saying. I wanna live 10 more years so I can see how this fucking planet ends. So I'm working out, I'm staying clean, no sugar. And they're like, how do you do it? I wanna see the end, man. I wanna see the end. I don't leave a movie early. I watch that movie to the end and this has been a long fucking movie. I've been watching this movie for 57 years. I'll watch it 10 more years, 67-ish on the patio somewhere, wherever I'm at, and just kaboom. Right, Gertie? Kaboom. I know, that's grim as fuck, right? The grim dean is here. Anyway, so yeah, pretty good week in a comedy. I was at the store on Saturday night hanging with Bobby Lee. Congrats to Bobby Lee. He sold Tiger Belly, his podcast, fucking very cool. I always root for comics. I'm not one of those dudes that is like, man, fucking, fucking, man, fucking. So, congrats to him. The more success to the comedians at the store, the more successful the store is. It's just constantly crazy rocking. The comedy store has just been out of control. All three rooms constantly sold out. I was in the, what, original room last night totally sold out, working a lot of new stuff. And I've said it over and over, but I got to just shoot this comedy because I'm done with doing this COVID stuff. I don't talk about COVID. I'm just saying the stuff I wrote during COVID. I do have one COVID bit, but that's shit now. It's weird to think. It's been three years, and so I want to get rid of that. I got some new stuff and I don't know. Like I said, I don't know what to do. We're going to try to film it and put it out there somewhere just on YouTube and snap it, chop it up for the TikTokers and the YouTube Shorts and the Instagram Reels. You got to know all the fucking ins and outs. I will tell you this. I'm going to put up some clips this all this week from my comedy fort shows out there in Fort Collins. Just got the shows, four of them filmed, going to chop up some and give you guys some clips. Please share them. You see the clips, put them in your Instagram stories or send them around, email them around, put them up on Twitter. See what happens if you like them. If you don't, just go, man, you suck, dude. Wild Weekend, Wild Weekend. I'm looking at my notes here. Rick Allen from Deaf Leopard was attacked in front of a forest seasons in Florida after doing the shows out there. Deaf Leopard, Motley Crue played shows in Florida and then he was just chilling out front, smoking a cigarette and some fucking 19 year old Ohio lunatic kid hiding behind some pole, just charged and tackled them or pushed them down and fucking Rick knocked his head on the ground and then a woman came out to help him and the guy beats up the woman. This is the biggest piece of shit. He basically beats up a handicap person and a woman. What kind of fucking pussy are you? You fight a handicap man, a guy with one arm who's been through the ringer in his life and then you fight a woman. Oh man, you are a piece of shit. There's nothing more pussy than fighting a woman and a handicap man. Anyway, man, that's the kind of fucking shit that's out there. No reason at all. Like what is, I mean, what's the guy? He's just hanging around. I haven't heard any interviews from him or whatever, but it goes back to that fucking lunatic that attacked Chappelle on stage at the Hollywood Bowl. His people are out there, and it was like, did he not like Def Leppard? Did he even know it was Rick Allen or he's just random? I think he was just loaded. He was probably doing bath salts. Are people still doing bath salts? You don't hear about that anymore. What happened to bath salts? It was all the rage. Bath salts was everywhere in Florida. People just doing bath salts. I don't even know what the fuck bath salts are. I haven't been in the drug game in years, and all of a sudden it was bath salts. It's like with the healthy shit. One year it's pomegranate juice. The next year it's kale. The next year it's fucking mushroom juice. The next year it's crushed up toenails, whatever. It's fucking crazy. These people are out there attacking fucking people. Someone attacked someone at the end of the LA Marathon at the finish line. And that just popped up in my bad news machine. That's what I call the phone. It's the bad news machine. Every time I open it up, oh, what the fuck? Just the bad news machine. Oh, man. I tell you the only thing, if I didn't do comedy, I wouldn't own, I wouldn't have any social media. I wouldn't have anything. I would have a flip phone in case I got sick or hurt or dirty or something was dirty. And a flip phone would be useless because no one answers their fucking phone anymore. I don't know why they put the phone option. I've said it before in the iPhone. It should be the I know phone. Just charge three, four grand for it. Yeah, this one's got no phone. It's cool. Does nothing except give you bad news, motherfucker. Anyway, Rick Allen out there attacked by a guy on bath salts. I don't know if he was on bath salts, but I just remember people were fucking something on bath salts. People were eating people's faces and shit when they had smoked bath salts, which by the way, I was on Facebook Marketplace. And, you know, there's people selling psilocybin mushrooms on Facebook Marketplace. Just, I'm scrolling through looking for a piece of furniture. And there it is, just a big bags of mushrooms. People selling them on the Facebook Marketplace. I'll tell you what, man. Uh, that's fucking crazy. I wanted to reach out to him just to say, hey, man, how do we do this? Like, I mean, aren't they afraid of police? Like, hey, you want to meet down at the Starbucks on Ventura Boulevard, dude? Bring that big sack of mushrooms and I'll fucking throw you in prison. It is weird. I don't know how they do this. Do you like PayPal or something? They send it to you and you never see them? Is it a scam? I don't know. But all I know is if you can get mushrooms on Facebook Marketplace, holy shit. That is too easy and I'm pissed off because back when I was growing up, you had to know basically a semi-serial killer to get mushrooms. Mushroom dealers were a total different type of human. You understand what I'm saying? Look, we had the weed dealers, we get it. Weed dealers are just stoners. They wanted to smoke weed free. You go over to Billy's house, he sell you a quarter ounce, dude. You watch some cartoons and eat some fucking burritos. You know, Coke dealers, totally. That was the weird thing when I was growing up because everybody thought they were gonna be the Tony Montana. They had the gold chain starter kit, the real skinny gold chain. And they would always have a muscle car, like a Camaro or something with the best car stereo but they never had a lot of money. They weren't the fucking, they were selling grams at a party, a keg party. And then the mushroom dealer, you would be like, dude, you know where to get mushrooms? And no one would know. And then somebody would go, I know a dude, but he's kind of weird. And oh man, my guy's name was Joe. What was his last name? Fuck. And straight up weird as fuck. So, you know, you go over to the house and it's basically like you're over at the character Brando played Kurtz on Apocalypse Now. You know, the guy opens the door, you alone. I love when they always say that. Are you alone? And there's no one next to me. Yeah, I'm alone. Anybody follow you here? It's like, no, no one fucking followed me here. All right, come on in. Then you go in their house and, you know, they're fucking surrounded by buckets of shit. These mushrooms are grown in shit. That's how they're made. And, you know, and the guy looks like he hasn't showered in years and he's wearing like really bad rugged, ragged boxers. And he's got like a cat. You know, you sit on the couch and you're instantly just filthy. And, you know, you got to hear his stories for a while before he'll bust out the mushrooms. You're like, look, dude, I just want to fucking get out of here. But they're lonely. You're not sure if they're high. You're not sure if they're going to stab you in the neck. And then they just come out and they start giving you a story. You don't want to mess with these, man. You don't want to fuck up. You don't want to take the wrong amounts, man. He understand. He's a potent. You see the blue, they snap them on me. You see the blue inside there. That's the perfect psilocybin mixture. Don't go pussy either. Don't wrap them up in peanut butter. Put them in your mouth and chew them up and enjoy the ride. Think about it. A mushroom dealer was a way different dude. It wasn't even like an acid dealer was more of like a dead dude, a dead head. You know, like, hey, dude, I need a miracle. Here's some blue dot Mickey Mouse, man. Double-ot, micro-dot, fucking cosmic squirrel, you know, whatever. The mushroom dealer was always just some weird fucker. No friends, zero friends. You never see the guy out. He's not like, dude, you go to that party later. They're just like, here, here's the mushrooms, get out. You're not even sure if the guy's gonna be alive the next time. And I don't know how they stayed in business because mushrooms right now are red hot. Everybody wants them, try to beat their fucking depression. I've been micro-dosing. Everybody's into the mushrooms. But back then you didn't mind. You mushroomed like once a year. It was like, I think it's time. And you and your buddies would be like, yeah, it's time. And you just got a couple cases of beer and you drove up to the like Sonoma Mountains and you took these fuckers and it'd be two or three or four of you and one of the guys would always have a bad trip. It's always one guy, dude, help me. Now he's fucking up your trip. You're like, you're fucked, dude, you're fucked. I remember I took the mushrooms and then my buddies took them and I was driving. I think I told this story before, but we got pulled over. My asshole friend didn't tell me his tags were expired and I was just fucking torched on mushrooms. But I was handling it. It was weird to drive on mushrooms totally fucking high. That's the kind of shit I used to do back in the day. People would do that back in the day. You were just tripping balls, driving a fucking 72 Nova. Got pulled over. Anyway, the two guys in the back are just laughing and the cop's like, what are they laughing about? They're just assholes. And he's like, if they don't stop laughing, I'm taking all three in jail. And I'm like, for what, laughing? He's like, yeah. I was out there. He had me doing the fucking test and I was just killing it on the shrooms. Just one, two, super focused, three, four, ABC, CDBA, whatever fucking walk in the line. But they're laughing. He took us in. He took us into jail. He goes, I don't know what's going on with you guys, but I'm taking the end. And he threw us in the drunk tank right when the shrooms were just peeking and we were in there all night, drunk tank on fucking mushrooms. Oh God, it was dark. Oh my God. Let us out at like 530 in the morning. All right, see you guys later. Just walking around fried trying to get home. Anyway, mushrooms are hot now. So if you can get them on Facebook marketplace, that is fucking crazy to me. Really crazy. What are you doing? He's over here wanting to back scratches. I was mentioning that bill and I are going to the moto GP burr and I and we're going to be doing a show out in Texas. I don't know where it's at. It's on bill burr.com. But we're going to the moto GP. And so I've been talking about the moto GP. And of course my bad news machine, the phone. It knows what I'm talking about. Just start showing me videos of moto GP on my Instagram. The old fucking spy phone. And so I started watching these videos. And like I've said a million times, I'm always fucking. Just in awe of these riders. Just some of the most incredible shit I've ever seen. These guys just riding on their knee, you know, in these turns, but there happened to be this footage, a bunch of footage coming up. There was, I guess a moto GP somewhere where it was pouring rain, pouring fucking rain. And they're still leaning it all the way over just on their knee all the way over. I don't know how you put that much trust in a goddamn tire, but they got it all the way over. They're doing about 180 miles an hour. This guy is fucking all the way over. And as you're watching the video, there's like bodies flying by him. It is one of the most incredible videos I've seen in years. It's just dudes crashing. And this guy has ice in his blood. He's just like bodies, motorcycles. It is some of the most spectacular footage. And I was just like, how is this guy even? I mean, I would be just a body flying by like 150, 160 miles an hour. And they're, they're just burning it in the rain, man. On these super bikes. I'm telling you, man, if you've never rode a motorcycle, you just do not understand how insane that is to me. That these guys are riding like 180 miles an hour, 150 miles an hour in the pouring rain, leaned all the way over, dudes are crashing. And the guys are just in it. Like asphalt ballet. It is just insane. I cannot wait to see this MotoGP. I cannot wait to see it. But Bill hit me up and he goes, hey man, it's going to be tough for you not to get that, that fucking hunger to ride again after the MotoGP. And I go, I said, I got the hunger right now. I want to ride. I just can't wear a helmet. And, you know, I got that neck surgery. I'm sure I could do it, but I would hate to be one of those guys where you ride for a while and then your neck fucking your disc pops out again. And the doctors like, dude, I told you, don't wear a helmet. You're a fucking idiot. And I tell you, that was one of the most gnarly surgeries I've ever had in my life. Nothing. I've had a million surgeries. I had the appendix out. I was knocked out. I don't fucking feel any of that. I had, well, so I had done. Did I have it? Oh, yeah. Fucking ingrown toenail surgery. You know what I mean? I had tonsils out all of that shit you're knocked out. But the next surgery, I was awake. And the fucking needles going in there like this long. That's no joke. I posted up a video on my Instagram. I'm not, I'm not fucking making up their eight inch needles going into your fucking spine. You know, I had my run on the motorcycles. I had a 32, 35 years, something like that on two wheels. I miss it big time. But I don't miss the craziness of it every day of these assholes out here. But I'm going to ride on the track at the motor GP. I'm getting, Ducati's going to let me ride on the Saturday. So I'm looking forward to doing that. I'm not going to be leaning down my knee leaning. But I am going to go out to the track though. There's a school out here. And my buddy runs it. And his name's Fabrice. And he runs a, a track school where you can learn to drag your knee. And you learn on 250 small bikes, which is fine with me because a 250 on a track is fast anyway. Cause you know, it's just terms. You're not. There's a couple straightaways and that's about it. But I want to go out there and learn that because I can wear a helmet on that because the helmet, it's not really the helmet that'll fuck up my neck. It's the wind of constant riding and it blowing the wind blowing that my neck around in a weird position to where it could pop out the desk. So I am going to try to, at 57 years old, get my knee this summer. But I don't know. I just don't think I have the, there's something in me that won't let me get all the, I mean, I've rode and I was, you know, I'm a pretty fucking good rider. But you know, I just don't know how you do that. So we'll see. You got to put trust in that tire. Anyway, looking forward to going out there, but check out this footage. I'm sure if you you tubed MotoGP in the rain, because I just threw it up on the Instagram stories. But holy shit. Really fucking crazy to see that. I dropped some hats. I dropped some hats. I dropped a clothing line, the treat. I've been working on this clothing line for like two years. I had an idea of it during COVID. And I love Joshua tree. I love the desert. I love nature and trying to get Zen as I talked about earlier, but I had an idea of, you know, I always called Joshua tree the tree. And I remember one time I put it up like I'm hanging out at the tree for Christmas. And some guy goes, we don't call it the tree. I mean, that immediately made me want to call it the tree more by some jackass trying to tell me that not to call it the tree. It's like the people, you know, I grew up in the Bay Area, San Francisco and people go frisco. And then the San Francisco people go, we don't call it frisco. It's like, oh, oh, yeah. Who makes that fucking rule? You know, I know some fucking people that call it frisco. And they're outlaws go tell them you don't call it frisco. You know, so anyway, I came up with this idea of this clothing line, the tree. And I don't know if it's going to be successful or if it's going to fail. But to me, I need to keep trying to do shit. I need to keep the creative mind going. I do it in comedy. I do it with the podcast once a year. I do it with the Bond Scott tribute. I constantly want to try new shit. That's how I got into comedy 14 years ago. I wanted to try something else. There's more than one thing in life. So I was like, I want to try a clothing line. I love clothes. I love fashion. I love glasses. I love boots. I love hoodies. I love sneakers. I love denim. I love fucking trucker hats. I like leather and all kinds of shit. I've been promoting people's shit for most of my life. That's good. And I like to promote their shit, but why not come up with some of my own stuff? And, you know, stuff that I like a lot. And so I called up the greatest graphic designer. I know Aaron Draplin had him on the podcast years ago. Absolutely love this guy. He was on a lot of Instagram lives with me during COVID. He is a goddamn genius with design. He did my Gertie hoodies, which to me, I didn't even care if one Gertie hoodie sold. I love my dog. And I love the design that Draplin did. Just this beautiful French bulldog Gertie. So I was like, you know what? I want to do a clothing line. And it's really fucking hard because it's just me. I mean, Draplin did the design and shit, but I had to tell him what I wanted. And then I had to get it made. And then I got to try to sell them. I ship them myself because I just don't have the infrastructure of a team. But if I could get like some backers and a team or whatever, I think I could really fucking kill it with some, with some cool shit. So I thought, well, I'll just start small and see where it goes. And holy shit. The response was great over the weekend with the hats. The idea of the hat was just, I'll tell you the idea of the hat. I just pictured, you know, like when I tell people, I go, yeah, I'm headed out to the tree. I just thought that was cool. The tree, you know, it's like, you know, everybody shortens everything. LOL, dude. Totes. I hate when people say that for tonally. Totes, dude. Totes. Totes going out to the tree. LOL. Sa-ba-boo-ba-ba. I don't know. You know everybody should. But anyway, I thought it was a good idea. And so the first one is just a Joshua tree. And it says the tree. And we have some other designs. Cookin' in the, in the old think tank. And we're going to have some hoodies. And we'll have some sweatshirts and maybe some beanies. But I mean, eventually I'd like to design some eyewear, do a collab with Boy Kuhar or Jacques Marie Marge or something. The Delray frame. Standard and strange and I are working on a couple of projects together that are going to be coming out. And it's just something I really, really enjoy. And a lot of that has to do with, when I got the diabetes and lost weight, I was like, fuck, I could wear some stuff and look okay. Before I just buy, you know, double X shirt and some big jeans and a pair of boots and just roll because I was just fanny on a donut. Oh man. But yeah. So anyway, the tree is out. There's a Instagram you can follow the tree CA. The tree CA. And you can hit me on Dean Delray Instagram if you want to buy one. I'll be shipping them out all this week. I shipped some last week. A lot of people bought them. My man, Greg Riley, Bobby Lee got one. Bobby Lee. And Steve Howie, he's rocking one. I got one from Brad Wilk. And yeah, man. The tree CA is the Instagram. Instagram. There's another short one. Dude, hit me up on the gram. Dude, hit me on the gram, man. I'll be out at the tree. Toats, dude. Toats. Toats, man. Anyway. I've been following a quite a bit of the John Mayer solo tour. Looking forward to hopefully being able to see that. I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get to see that actually. When he plays LA, I will be in Texas. I don't know if I'm going to get to see that. For the MotoGP, but I can still try to go fly and see him somewhere. I really want to see this because it's so acoustic. And he's doing a lot of songs from the born and raised record. And to me, it kind of looks like it would be a born and raised type super tour. Meaning there's songs from newer records now. I don't think he's even been born and raised tour. I don't think you could even get a better set list than what he's been doing. On this run. Now I have not seen a show and I have caught wind that he doesn't want people to stream them. And I fully respect that. You know, I wish that those yonder bags were just. The entertainment venues, meaning movies, concerts, comedy shows. Not necessarily like a sporting event because who cares. They're they're showing that on TV. As you're streaming it anyway, but. Mad props to John mayor for not wanting people to stream it because I understand it. It's not like he's like, yeah, I don't want you to stream this because this net. He just wants you to be engaged. He's telling stories. And he's playing songs that some of them he hasn't played in a long time. And he's really enjoying it. And he just doesn't want to see the fucking bad news machine. See if I get some bad news machine can't see it. It's like, there it is the bad news machine. In his face. And I totally respect that. I think that. You know, unfortunately, I'm addicted to my phone. And it's a sad addiction. But. You know, I got to be on the phone most of the time for fucking work. I don't know. But shout out to my man, John mayor. Go see this tour of the set list. Look, dynamite. Keep your phone in in your pocket, man. And just watch it. I bet you'll remember that show for years. I've said this many times. I don't really remember very many shows I've seen in the last 20 years because I was probably filming or looking at my phone or, or, you know, whatever. And the shows that my phone was locked up. I remember right now. You know, and. You know, as much people complain like, dude, you taking my rights, man. You know, kids, they might need calling me because baby says like, nah, we're not going for that. All the way up until around 2004. Kids just stayed home with the babysitter. You went out. You had a good time. You forgot you had kids. Sometimes people need to forget they have kids. Just go out and just escape. I know you love your fucking kids. I love my dog, Gertie. But sometimes you need to just go out and be like, oh, that's right. And then go home and you go, there's my kids. Cool. You know, that's just how it is, man. You got to fucking go out and escape. Go hit up fucking Joe. For those mushrooms, sit on his couch and hear a story. That was another thing back in the day. You didn't have phones. You know, you can't, you can't go to the mushroom man with your phone. They'd be like, dude, do you wear in a wire? Where that went? You go to a dealer like, dude, you're wearing a wire. You're wearing a wire. Holy shit. The fucking. The abuse your mind and your conscience had to do to deal drugs. You had to constantly thinking people were wearing a wire. Unreal. Unreal. Some new rock out there. Going to give you a heads up on some new rock. People have been loving my recommendations and very cool. I'm glad you dig them. I got a lot of emails last week. This band right here, never heard of them. Somebody sent it over to me. They described it kind of as a Brian Jonestown massacre. I would disagree with that. I would say it's more kind of morphine, which was a fucking great band. There'll be a careful pain. Mark the Sandman. If you've not heard morphine, do yourself a favor. I would say this band's kind of morphine meets Nick cave. And they're called the black delta movement. And they are fantastic. Their record, their full record comes out, I believe in a couple of weeks. And go dig in on that. Another one that I've been digging on is wet leg. And did they play SNL? I don't know if they did, but wet leg is out on tour with Jack White. And wet leg is fucking very interesting. Great, great sound. And those are my two recommendations this week. I hope you dig them. Oh, by the way, today or no, it was yesterday. Was the 41st anniversary of the death of Randy Rhodes. I cannot believe it's been 41 years. And, you know, really crazy. I want to hear some of the most in depth. Randy Rhodes stories from that day. I had Rudy Sarzon the first time he tells that story. Real deep. And then Tommy Aldrich. Who was on that tour playing drums. He was on a few years ago. His story is really fucking interesting. So if you're a big Randy Rhodes fan and you've read everything on Randy and what you think happened that day or whatever, I guarantee if you listen to the Tommy Aldrich story. Wow. I was still, I'm still blown away when he told me that story over at the sportsman's lodge. I met him in his room. He was on tour with white snake at the time and had a day off. And I got to sit down with the great Tommy Aldrich. And then like I said, Rudy Sarzon the first time he was on told the story of that day. And, you know, once again, a plane crash. Took out a superstar. You know, last week I talked about Leonard Skinner playing crash. And which, by the way, after I talked about Gary Rosenthal being gone, all kinds of crazy DMs and emails and videos came over my way of all these different plane crash skinnered stories on YouTube of the people that survived and telling their stories and shit. Man, I just, I still blown away when people survived plane crashes. Remember that one DJ AM and what's his name? Travis Barker. They fucking they're playing their private jets slid off the fucking runway and caught fire. And they fucking full blown body burns. I don't know if you've ever seen the DJ AM documentary, but that is a crushing documentary. I love documentaries, man. I watched the fuck out of them. I watched it over and over. How annoying are we after we've watched a documentary just walking around like we know shit. I watched one last week. I watched the elephant whispers. And that was the documentary that won best documentary short this year on the Academy Awards. And it really blew my mind because it was, it was, you know, in this day and age of living in America with, like I said, cell phones and, and wifi and, and just food, you know, food. It's so wild to watch people that still live in a jungle with no fucking cell phone, barely a house, you know, living a peaceful life, a peaceful life. And it's this couple. And they basically what they do is when elephants have a baby, if the baby can't keep up and the baby just gets left behind, they get the baby in the jungle and they bring them to their house and they raise these elephants. And it's just a beautiful story, man. It is really a beautiful story. And once in a while, I like to see something like that just to give me hope who hope with the world. You know, they're just there raising this baby elephant. And they live in the chump. It's such a trip. Now I, I know that they don't know any other way. They just enjoy living in the jungle, raising this. No, no job. They just go out. They hunt their food right now 2023. They go out. They hunt food. Hey, I'm hungry. Well, we better go fucking kill something if we're going to eat. And then they come back and they eat and then they raise this elephant. Oh man. Wow. Check it out, man. It's pretty fucking cool. It is pretty cool. Patreon.com slash Dean Delray. Thank you for all the new patriarchs. I got a brand new one here. I'm not quite sure what his name means, but it is fortune farms. Thank you for joining the Patreon. I will be doing a live zoom tomorrow night. No, maybe tonight. Yeah, maybe tonight. Anyway, I do live zooms with the patriarchs. And I also try to drop bonus episodes. It's just fucking my. My head is just crazed. Next week. We will be diving into the watches. They're going to be releasing the new watches. And you know, Kevin Christie and I are crazy over that. That's going to be March 27th. Next Monday, we're going to be releasing the new Rolexes. And I think Omega's and paddocks and stuff will be coming out. Oh, dropped my phone. Dropped my bad news machine. Just freaked out on that. So Kevin and I will be diving into what they're going to release. And it's always amazing to see these people on Instagram with their photo shops going, they're going to release the new Rolex just a secret leak, a secret leak. And it's like, come on, man. But I'll tell you what, some of these Photoshop renderings of these potential. Ideas of Rolex is coming out are just incredible. I wish that Rolex had a setup to where you could just go on. And like Adidas did it for a while where you could just sell what color tongue vans did it too for a while, just whatever you want to do. That'd be great if Rolex just like, they just had a program where you went on. You're like, I want a sub, but I want a pink sub with a black bezel and, you know, ruby markers or whatever. I would go pink sub. There was a company making pink sub mariners. They customized them. And I thought that's fucking great. You know, you're wearing around people be like pink. What are you fucking girl? I love when people say like, man, I couldn't wear that. I couldn't wear that. I mean, you can pull it off, but I can't, I can't pull that off. And that just lets me know that you have shitty friends that are going to say something to you like, you know, down at the construction yard. Girls pants. In the 80s, you had to buy girls pants. Who gave a fuck? You had to buy girls pants because men's pants were big old fucking barrels. It just looked like one size fits all. Anyway, so next week we're going to be diving into watches. Hit me on the Instagram or Twitter. Let me know what watch you hope that is coming out. And let me know what you, what you think is coming out and what you hope is coming out. Whatever. Anyway, hit me on the, hit me on the gram dude or the twit twat. Take a top cop tick top. Hit me on the real shorts and the YouTubers. I don't know.
