is here for our annual tradition where Chris airs his grievances. We've been
doing this for three or four years now, Chris. It's really become quite
the tradition that the listeners really get into. We have some questions for you
that we can get into. But you brought this wonderful beer that I really
like. It's the Hoffbrow original, It's a Munich beer. It's wonderful.
Where do you get this? I got this downstairs at the liquor store.
I mean it's Hoffbrow, how of the most famous beer hall in Munich,
closely associated with Octoberfest. It's great, and but you never really, I
mean it's not. I'm surprised it was at that liquor sore. I'll just
say that without without doctor. Yeah, I'm surprised by that. You know,
you probably like it. It's made according to the German purity laws.
They have really strict laws on beer, and they brag about it in a
way that I wouldn't if I was German anymore. Like different things are not
would not fit a lot of a lot of things that you make in America
would not be allowed to be called beer in Germany. They it's just kind
of traditional. That leads for a lot of innovation in America. But actually
it's okay. Don't feel bad about that because this Christmas, like half the
country is, you know, changing the changing their opinions and all that.
But I'm just saying that, you know, Holocaust jokes are in this season.
No, like members of Congress totally down with it. Who's made a
Holocaust joke in Congress? You see it on the streets. You know what
streets are you on. They're canceling streets of Warsauce are good ninety, They're
canceling Christmas trees, Christmas tree lightings. I see what you're saying. The
Holocaust strokes are in on the left, is what you're saying. Yes,
yes, yes, I thought you were talking. Is like ninety seven percent
Democrat. Yeah, so I was actually wondering about this. Is so one
of my grievances is get right down. I was just going to ask you
start please. Sarah's got a lot of really liberal friends from college. Okay,
we went to college together, but sure, I used to have a
lot of liberal friends. But their wives like stop letting them hang out with
me after Trump got elected, so we feel like we're family. Is not
going to associate with that man, that dude who wrote the art of the
Donald. Yet not welcome in this home. I'm welcome, like he is
bad. This house is welcoming and inclusive and everything the science says, yes
exactly. So I don't really have a ton left anymore in the way that
I used to more. I used to have a lot more than my kind
of friends in conservative media because I went to college here, I was an
e fraternity here, I bartended here. You know, I still got some
pals we start hang out. But Sarah's got some close pals, good people
too. But I was wondering. I was like, I'm getting dragged to
these Christmas parties and I'm kind of wondering, like, so are we allowed
to make jokes now, like has a whole new line of humor opened up,
like an awful humor, And she said to run a few by her
to see if they worked. She decided that she prefer that I'd not share
any of those jokes, So they're hard to get through, like I never
you know, if you go to like a kind of like Christmas party.
I went to a couple Christmas parties this year. They're probably a conservative dominated.
Most people were talking about their families drinking. You'd have to put up
with a couple of like right wing jokes every now and then, like church,
I mean, but it doesn't dominate. Yeah, not the case with
some of these Christmas parties. And not one love loved our host. She
is fantastic. Every year she hosts SR make your Own Martini party, and
none of them know how to make martinis. Hit. I keep my politics
to myself and I make everyone martinis. But you know, there were people
that I didn't have that much to talk about this year, So the conversation
was dominated by these two women who are struggling with IVF married women, and
they're talking about the insurance paying for it. And I'm sitting here and I
just want to ask them when you go in there like two women and say
we've been trying and we're not getting pregnant, and the doctor's got to have
like a straight face and be like, have you considered IVF? I have?
So insurance companies are mean. Insurance companies like deny you like you can
say sperms or we only cover forward falls. But the insurance is like,
yeah, well we'll throw money at this. Yeah. Really there's a lot
of money to be an IVF. Yeah, insurance is paying for it.
And I'm just kind of like, hey, yeah, I didn't I didn't
even begin the questions because my first question was going to be like, I
think I know the problem. So instead it's not really grievance at the end
of the day, because that would have been my grievance, would have been
Sarah's too, But instead I just I made four Gibson martiniz and I drank
them. I went home and I went to sleep. I'm not a doctor,
but have you medical professionals have told you you know, and I wish
them the best. So I can't tell if your first grievance was about the
Holocaust or IVF, or if that was two well, we're anti Holocaust,
I know. But is your grievance that the left has now embraced anti Semitism
or is your grievance that the left has now embraced anti Semitism and IVF is
for two women as I just don't know. You need to enumerate. I
I don't know how far the left has because I mean I know that like
in their street theater, like basically any person who was at that party would
be like trying Hitler mustaches on Jewish kidnap victim babies and like chanting from the
River to the Sea. But I don't know if it's entered, like we're
allowed to make Jewish jokes and play company. Well, here's what it is.
No, it's just the it's the way the left exploits uh in many
cases legitimate victims in this case legitimate victims of course, and in other cases
people who they who are victims by their definition. It's all exploitive, using
people as political chess pieces and cultureal a whole book about this is like two
thousand and seven was Guilty Liberal Victims, and I think it was guilty Liberal
victims in their sign. I never went to that stage you went through a
reading and culter, Well, it's actually a very good book and it holds
up and it's the same, like it's the same phenomenon. It's just we
hear from the left after Charlottesville how disturbed they are by rampant anti semitism,
apparently from Donald Trump. Well, that's the funny thing is a lot of
my friends who cut me off. I wasn't privy to the conversation, but
I know how these conversations go, like, he's we don't have hateful people
in our house, and it's like, and some of my friends who did
this too, is kind of bummed about. I still talk to them a
little bit, but I really strong supporters of Israel. Yeah, and there's
got to be a little bit of like, hey, so can we go
hunting this year? Because I'm not the batty. This is your friends are
the batties. And we've talked actually on the show. I actually feel like
we've had in the last couple of years. You and I have had tougher
conversations about Israel than many people on the right are willing to have. And
I think that's entirely fair to have like a nuanced approach to Israel. On
the other hand, there are I mean, this is a perfect example of
the left giving cover to violent and it's over violent, hateful, bigoted people
that are you know, there are professors who have talked about it being exhilarating
to watch what happened on October seventh. You know, this is an act
of resistance. Hamas is essentially a resistance group. These are martyrs. Hamas
fighters are martyrs over and over again, giving cover to actual, violent,
dangerous bigots well at the same time disqualifying Christians or people with traditional views or
even people like Abigail Schreier who were jk rowling, people that are center left
and have different take on whether kids should be trans In this house, we
follow the science exactly, capitalized, dumber and dumber. I don't see many
of them anymore, to be honest, it's like, really just one left
in my neighborhood. Mm hmmmm hmm. And it but it still bugs me.
Okay, So we don't have a clear scientism as a religion. It
bugs me. Okay. So this is a grievance. Yeah, it's a
real grievance. On loan, I don't like it. Unload your burden.
The I mean, this was this was an this was an intentional thing by
kind of the anti Christian, anti conservative thinker European thinkers to put science and
reason and all these things in place of religion and to give it a a
cult status, whereas as opposed to truth, which is what science is supposed
to seek. You know, science is actually in charge now just the process
and religion, which you know, pioneered a lot of science Christian religion and
Christian religion which really kind of introduced a lot of the way that reason into
a logic into a lot of the West. Any grievances about Galileo, Yeah,
I mean I don't. I don't think they should have pardoned him.
They parted them like twenty years ago, right, I don't want to go
back, and you know, judge our ancestors based on the facts they had
a hand. I mean, listen, we don't know anything. Really,
what can we know? I don't I probably would I would not have prosecuted
Galileo. It was more complicated than people say it was. It was not
actually it's not. Actually, it's kind of like how people always screw up
the Oscar Wild case, Like he was thrown in prison for being a bugger,
and it's like, no, you're throwing p and for libeling a member
of the House of Lords. That was that was like the lot he broke.
This reminds me that Galile reminds me that you once went to an Indigo
Girls concert as as a boy was on the block. Yeah. Yeah,
his crime was looking up the truth. That's that's a gripe. I have
agreements the Indigo Girls. Yeah, I went to the Indigo Girls concert.
Actually an album that year. They've had many good albums. Okay, So
I feel like I interrupted you in the middle of your scientist agreements. It's
it's it's just such a lie. It's such total bs. The same people
that have a sign out that says, in this house we believe in science
will like tell you that cutting the hip off of a young woman and stitching
up her privates and sewing that piece of hip in like a really grotesque fashion
in between is fulfilling care. The same people that will tell you that that
a viable child inside the womb is just to feed us and a piece of
flush that can be flushed down the toilet. Than the same people that,
yeah, will demand their pronouns be used and it's like, you don't really
believe in science. Yeah, you just what that really means is you believe
in God, Emperor Fauci. This is a grievance of mine, actually one
of the Well, he's not in prison, that's a grievance. Why isn't
Fauci in prison? Fauchi will never go to prison. What are you talking
about? I want to put so many people in prison now, if I
Fauci were really if Anthony Fauci, who recently, by the way, did
you hear his thoughts on Catholicism, Yeah, he's too smart. He's too
smart. But he doesn't need to go to Mass. He really said he
doesn't he needs to go to Mass. Yeah, he's more spirit didn't he
actually use the spiritual? Didn't he invoke that he's more spiritual? Yeah,
it's just a perfect cliche from the perfect cartoon. It's there like a fifteen
year old, an over educated coastal liberal. I mean, you couldn't write
that. But it's not just Fauci. I mean there are people out there
who ruined our lives, who shut down the churches, who arrested priests,
who kept people from their dying spouses, children, parents, who sequestered folks
alone to die in misery, who unleashed riders on our streets, and the
American people. I love that we're forgiving people, but sometimes like no one
wants to talk about it. Too many, too many hands are dirty,
and no one wants to talk about it, and everyone wants to move on.
I want to talk about it. Show me your hands. What did
you do during twenty twenty? Did you? And because you know, I
listened to NPR a lot, unfortunately, because they've got some good music stations.
And in the lead up to COVID, there's this one show I was
just listening to it since passed away, where you know, he played this
song about being a resistance fighter against the Nazis in France, and because they
love to imagine themselves as like what would they have done against we are the
resistance, we stand up against the authority. We we would have hidden the
Jews. And it's like COVID runs around and they're calling the cops. I'm
like Christians having star service and they're calling the rating Jewish weddings in New York
and it's like it's exactly what, No, it's exactly what. They're right,
So when you can slot something into the and other people who have written
about this and spoken about this, but when you can slot something easily into
the oppress or oppressed dichotomy, it's exactly what they're doing. It has nothing
to do, it's it's it's exactly how they use victims and people as political
pawns. And you know there are some people who aren't trying to do that,
but who I think just get are bought into the ideology. But if
you're looking at Israel and Palestine and you you say, well, at this
point, Israel has all of the resources. Israel has the backing of the
oppressive, the United States. The Palestinians are the victims here. Even if
you're the person who writes like World War two fan fiction, you are yourself,
yeah, like what I would have done. The Watchdout on Wall Street
podcast with Markowski. Every day Chris helps unpack the connection between politics and the
economy and how it affects your wallet. Before sending your child off there collect
six figures in debt at the age of eighteen, remember to make sure that
school isn't another woke hedge fund corporation. Elite universities have gone from places of
excellence to places of political and social engineering. Whether it's happening in DC or
down on Wall Street, it's affecting you financially. Be informed. Check out
the Watchdot on Wall Street podcast with Chris Markowski on Apple, Spotify or wherever
you get your podcasts. You know what I would like to see, because
I mean, there's three groups of people in Israel. One of them has
a modern army, one of them has a terrorist army, and one of
them is just hiding in their churches trying to have to get shot by IDF
snipers or blown up by Hamas militans and to the Christians. And you know
how many American politicians are out there on the Christmas season being like, yeah,
hey, here's another sixty billion dollar check or whatever supports your effort against
these awful primitive barbarian rapists. But I really would like to see your plan
for patrician stuck in Gaza right now, keep an eye on them. There
aren't many, but there are hundreds. If there was a gate club where
people were hiding in Gaza right now is of course there wouldn't because Gaza would
never allow that. Yeah, then politicians would be out there all over,
like, what are you doing to protect this vulnerable population? This is the
thing like so actually it's not a funny grievance, it's like a sad one.
No, it's a completely serious one. And Ryan Grimm we interviewed the
new Chairman of the Freedom Caucus, Bob Good on our show Camera Points yesterday.
We're taping this on I think it's December twenty first, and he asked
about this example which again as of this taping, we actually still don't know
why and if we don't know whether the IDF sniped two women who were I
would have said, there's no way they did that. And then the IDEAF
said, well, we're looking into it actually, and then they said,
but we don't do that, we don't do that, and snipers don't even
snipe. But but a member of parliament in England has family, so I
believe they're a member of the parish who has said that that's essentially what happened
the Vatican, which no offense. I don't put a ton of stock in
the political leanings of the in the political expressions of the Vatican these days,
like the Jesuits said that is what happened, and going on the right.
They're going on the bishop's word because the bishop right, they leaned into it
hard enough that they wrote up a story about it on their own news outlet,
which is leaning into it. That's it. I mean you you genuinely
would have to have some confidence in what you heard to publish something like that.
And my point is we are you know, we give about a fifth
of the Israeli military's budget, but members of the you know, Israeli military
have said things to the effective you know, the United States support is essential
just in munitions and all of that. It's a relevant question, like we
we actually should be asking questions about Christians in Gaza in peace time and in
wartime. I think it should be. I mean, this is obviously so
far from reality these days. I mean, the only special interest groups we
go abroad to fight and kill four are like Afghan girls and gay people in
Russia. But my foreign policy would just be like, we're fine as supporter
allies across the world, but I am curious what your policy is for your
Christian minorities, because we have a lot of allies who are very good o
their Christian minority, and this is Israel is actually done among them generally speaking,
this is just a grievance. But like again, it's not to say
there's absolutely no comparison between Hamas and israel An idea. These liberal students out
there and these activists, like I get the argument people want to have about
like what the state solutions should look like in Israel. I could see they're
being keep good people on both sides. But when you're like pro Hamas,
it's like those guys are so I mean, as Donald Trump, somebody,
somebody is doing the ripen. I mean, these are Oh my god,
we are bad dudes. The my grievance is you, It is just you
Nahamas bad. Let's be unequivocal about that. You actually reminded me when you
were talking about scientism and abortion of aggrievence that I have, which is the
decline of two archetypes, one the statesman and two the public intellectual. Because
actually somebody who had I think, objectionable takes on Israel but reasonable takes on
abortion was Christopher Hitchins. And the reason I say public intellectual, I actually
was recently reading some old, like really old like talking about like two thousand
and five blog posts about Christopher Hitchens speaking to Witherspoon, Fellows and the Family
Research Council and how the left used to attack Christopher Hitchens. Christopher Hitchins confronted
the left with the cold hard reality that there's a unique DNA created at consumption
and there's it is undoubtedly a human life that you're you're ending. It's not
just your DNA, right, Yeah, this is a new human life that
is created. That is that is life. And the left is too cowardly
to confront the reality. And Christopher Hitchins was embrace that. And I just
don't think we have a lot of people, like we do have people that
have sprung out of the intellectual dark web who are brave and interesting, but
we don't have a lot of people that will commit actual heresying on point that
will hurt them. You know, comedians have been doing it lately, Like
Bill Barr has a whole I think it's Bill Barr has a whole skit.
He's like, yeah, you know, I love abortion, you know,
yeah, yeah, you're plot but it's a baby. You're killing a baby.
You can applaud you're women like but Luisykluis, that's Gilbert. But Luis
c k has one about a cake and yeah, comedians have actually been taking
the forefront. And if you look at this, like ten years ago,
the top three comedians where they like Shane Gillis, Bill Barr and Dave Chappelle,
like people actually follow like serious comedy. Will laugh at me for saying
that. So someone who's like just random passive of consumer pop culture. There
are the three top guys I could tell, and they are all making fun
of the left like that out there making like making fun of you know,
the tea party. This is a good thing, which is easy. By
the way, oh yeah, and by the way, people on the tea
party are like the moms for Liberty Girl. It's fun. It's been like
swinging. Yeah, yeah, they're having fun. You know. I don't
know how he pulled it off. I look at his wife. I haven't
seen the accuser. I look at the guy like, what are you?
What are you funny? You look funny because he's he's batting out of his
cover. Ye. Because okay, so that was Christmas molly Ham is good
on this question, like we lack statesmen. Now, I think that's another
appropriate grievance in the public intellectual reminded me of yeah, exactly, exactly.
So what's to roll right on into your next screevements? Wow, I mean
millennials. You're a millennial. I don't want to I don't want to like
pick on any any specific millennial. But oh, you're gonna whind about me
showing up fifteen minutes today. Showed up, she says, she was like,
I'm not late. I had I'm not being rude. I had a
podcast that's called double booking no generations prior to you that is considered rude behavior.
I did not double book. I did not double book. I had
a podcast at ten. You booked a podcast at nine thirty. It was
already different location, it was already booked. I will say you double booked
on them. No, they showed up fifteen minutes late. The person that
I taped a podcast with before, You've minutes late, and I told you,
I told you right away. If they hadn't, I probably would have
been five minutes late. That's standard. Yeah, that's standard. Sometimes you're
five minutes late. Being on time is one of the white patriarchy's greatest crime
against humanity. I learned that at the Smithsonian. I've actually not yet been
to the San Kraller Smithsonian. I haven't either. I haven't. I also
haven't been to the American History Smithsonian since they redid a lot of it.
I was a gutting worse when I went in there. It was just all
like ships and stuff and guns. What I remember, Yeah, of course
that was your takeaway. I went to the American Indian Musim with my dad.
I actually they have great really sucked when I went. They have great
food at the it's called the Smithsonian of the American Indian Very politically incorrect,
that's what that means. That's what they are. My gripe with that museum.
It's like the American Indians like a super interesting group of people. Yeah,
but if you lie about them then they're not. So if you're like
if you're like, here's how like a group of like this, this absolutely
savage tribe of warriors gets a hold of Spanish horses and uses it to carve
out a land empire that takes up like half of the content of the continent
to United States command st Yes, like that's like this just like just like
that, they're like an tire army and Game of Thrones and they've got like
a dragon queen is weeping through and people are and they tribes, but they
don't they don't talk about that. They pretend that it's firm gully. You
look at this pottery. Look at this pottery they made. I'm like,
why don't you tell me about the dudes who are like cannibalizing Christian saints,
like the in the great snowy north Woods north of North Dakota, where we're
like with indoor heating, we still don't really want to go, and these
guys are like half naked eating missionaries, and it's like, tell me about
that, because that's an interesting story. But instead they're like, look at
those beads. They actually had had a very roads and where are they.
There's no rose that you talking about. They don't tell an interesting story.
There's an interested story. You can't. But also that you can't even have
a warrior as a mascot. It's meant to represent a Native American, even
though like Americans are like, hell, oh yeah, we're warriors. We
were some of the best of all of the warriors. It's like it's like
when the press kind of tried to insinuate that that Donald Trump had made Nazis
violent, Its like that this whole thing. It's like, well, the
Indians being violent because I met the English Spanish. I'm like, yeah,
I'm sure the English and the Spanish taught them. I've been to those medieval
torture museums at Renaissance fairs. I'm sure they're completely accurate. I'm sure we
could teach a thing are for you too about violence. I was at a
museum in Naples, Italy, and was much younger and may have been drinking.
But they had a sort of glass bottom into the basement where the corpses
of people who had been tortured were still there, and we just did full
photo ops, like laying down like human body on top of the glass bottom
like the torture people. I don't think the Italians were pleased, No,
I doubt it. I don't think you should have. I mean, I
don't. Don't get me wrong. White people are crazy, like if you
bombra a harbor, we will harness the power of the sun to destroy your
civilian cities. But generally speaking, everyone's crazy. So I have a listener
grievance about you. This is from Ryan Poor Emily. Chris was so eager
to do it. Doctor Biden joke that he wasn't listening to you effortlessly drop
it into your introduction. I had appreciated the non attention usage. And then
Chris comes stomping through the scene. Bless you for not shaming him by noting
that you had indeed said doctor, I agree, bless me. It's so
much patience most people when you're talking, or just waiting for you to stop
talking so they can say what they have to say. And I am not
immune to that, especially when I got my iPad on my lap was used
as a coaster like. There are whole episodes where I'm talking to someone and
Emily's just on our phone. No, I'm looking up what we're talking about
like that. Now I start doing too, but then the notification pops up
in a message and I'm like, ooh, I just got an AOL inst
you got mail? Okay, one more. This is from Gregory Ross,
who, by the way, coined your nickname the Big Bee. I love
that. Thank you, Gregory, the Big the Big Bee. This is
a question from the Big Bee from Gregory. He actually said he's still working
on consistent sides and something special for Eve pre Mass for Christmas Eve pre Mass,
So maybe I'll hear some ideas, Chris, I wanted toss that you
were away, not so much agrievance. So maybe the grievance is not having
a pre mass food tradition. But what suggestions do you have for that?
I mean, there's a lot of great size that you can make that are
that are honestly just better the next day. And every time we make them
and then eat them and then eat them the next day, we're like,
why don't why didn't we make this the day before? Like mashed potatoes with
cream, cheese and sour cream and butter just blended all in, so you
put cream cheese and sour cream in it? Oh yeah, really? Oh
yeah, a little piggy smid. My mashed potatoes are like fifty percent and
I also sprinkle some cocaine for hunter. Yeah, for a hunter, like
fifty percent mashed potatoes. And actually the French I think a scaffee is mashed
potatoes for fifty percent butter. And I've tried Apparently it's not the chef of
scaffee I is. But I've tried that a couple of times, and I
cannot get that butter to stay in those massed potatoes. It doesn't work.
You're more of a Julia child, and that you're also a spy. Cream
spinach amazing, like the kind of things you can have beforehand. But I
will admit that I have kind of given up on Christmas Eve niceties. One.
I don't go to the midnight Mass anymore because I'm usually drunk by ten
or eleven on a Christmas Eve. Two. Now I have a seven year
old and he ain't going to the midnight Mass. He's also drunk. No,
I I am kidding. We all have to get to bed so Sanna
can get in and get to work. Because Sanna's got a lot of work
to do. Everyone's going to be asleep for that, so this year's difficult.
Santa's drunk, though, Let's be honest, Santa is drunk by the
time he's coming down the stree and get that red nose out of his mind,
Yeah, blushed cheeks out of his mind. Catholics have it this year,
I'm not. Lutherans probably have the same thing. With the liturgical calendar.
It's the shortest liturgical calendar possible for Christmas. It's on the day after
the fourth Sunday of Advent, so we have to go to if we want
to go to the Christmas Eve vigil, you've also got to go to the
fourth Sunday of Advent. So you can either go twice in a day,
or you can go to the vigil for the fourth Sunday of Advent and then
you can do the vigil for Christmas. You got to figure it out.
But a couple of years ago, when I was growing up, I was
just out of college, actually my brothers are growing up. Family was going
through some weird difficult times were going on, and the normalcy of being able
to just beat our house and have a nice Christmas meal or be with my
papa, who passed away a few years before that was kind of broken for
a period of time. We hadn't gotten back together yet, And we went
to my uncle's house on my dad's side, and they ordered a bunch of
Chinese food and we drank my ties. Yeah, and it was a freaking
phenomenal. So last year, when Sarah and I were home alone for Christmas
Eve, I was like, do you want to go to this Chinese restaurant.
We get to the Chinese restaurant. Apparently we're like, not the only
people who thought of this, and it's packed. Really, it's a two
and a half hour wait to get takeout for you now packed. And we
were like, you know what, that's fine. So we waited two and
a half hours and even have barstools, and I was like, sling me
up a suffer am bastard, give me my tie, mister Kahn, I
will have a scorpion bowl. Please drove home. No one was hurt.
But two and a half hours later everyone Reft's name. They were like,
here's some free dessert, and we went home and watched Christmas movie. So
this year we called ahead to that restaurant and my dad and I will probably
go, you know, pick up the food, sling a couple of my
ties, and I'll come back and I'll be making cocktails at home. And
it's like totally like well out lottery tickets to the kids, Like it's a
really classy affair. But Christmas Day that's when all the cooking happens, right,
and you we've done podcasts on this before, people can look them up.
But I think we did want a couple of your skill called how to
Have a Happy Christmas, and it was just Chris doing it. Julia Child
routine. I screwed myself this year. I got in over my head.
It sounds like it. It sounds like So I buy the steak from the
TV chef Brian Voltazio because my friend is his right hand man, and he
can get good sake that I can't get dry. It's hard to find like
a dry age rib roast uncause you want to order out certain place of the
internet. So but you don't. You just don't know what you're going to
get when he gets it. Usually these things are about fourteen pounds to get
a whole ribros You can't buy like a portion and meat. I don't know
if you've known this. Thanks a lot Biden is like twenty eight to thirty
dollars a pound for some of the stuff. So I agree to this knowing
it's going to be a lot. I'm going to sell some stakes to my
friends who want them, who are like out, I'll I get there and
this is a big one, nineteen point six pound at twenty eight dollars a
pound. Yeah, I don't want to think about it. It's not like
I can be like take it back. I'm just looking at it. And
I ordered a drink and a great lunch it's an amazing restaurant out in Frederick.
Order to drink, order the second drink and was like, I guess
I can't brumptly yell at my wife again for all the Amazon packages that appeer
at my house every day. You better not screw up that rose. I
will never stop that roast. I'm scientific about this stuff. I'm from Wisconsin
and the best prime rib I've ever had was what you made? Thank you?
Yeah, and that's that's actually our Christmas meal usually, but I get
like Biden prices. I don't know that that's going to happen this year.
But the Christmas prime rib or Christmas tined fish this Christmas Day prime rib probably
probably peanut butter and jelly, yeah exactly. I saw someone eating a peanut
butter and jelly on TV the other day and I was like, man,
I need to eat more because I've been banned from schools. They will be
it will be a forgotten sandwich like grievance. So there's a forgotten sandwich.
There's a sandwich guy on Instagram who just like looks up. He takes all
these old sandwich books which I've It's like, yes, mix some mayonnaise.
And some capers and some butter, salmon and butter, and like it's called
like the Club Number five. And some of them are good and some of
them are just awful, like anchovies mixed with butter. It's like that's your
sandwich pass. Yeah. I feel like he's in to someday be doing the
PB and J because you, I mean, you're better off walking into a
DC public school with like a COVID sign then you are walking into a school
today with a pbn J. Any final a greements is Chris. I didn't
expect the PB and J to come up. Yeah, it was. It's
just I've got a really embarrassing allergy. I'm gonna log at the down a
little snowflake. Yeah, I know. It's like it's embarrassing it because I
think when I when people tell me about their allergies, all I could think
of is like, man, you're so weak, you're so capable of survival.
Some people also make their allergies there like a crucial part of their identity.
There was this one girl used to coming to the bar I worked out.
She had like a Celiaxe real clute analogy. You had this kind of
kind of just like porky little friend who would pretend to have it from time
to time. And but the like was a celiax like, hey, I
can't have toast on this plate. You can't just take it off after this.
The chef like, I'm trying to explain to this this dude who speaks
like five words of English like for celiax is and he's looking at me for
her, and I'm like, I'm like, I know, I asked the
same questions Carlos's name. But but the friend would be like, if bread
was with than three feet of my disc, you have to throw it out
and I'll need it again too, because I'm also a Celiac, And I'd
be like, no, you're not Joyce. I just like sneaked a little
pieces of bread into her food every now and then into the cocktails. Yeah,
into the faked Celiacs run. It's like, come on, this is
just you don't need to. You don't need to inconvenience the entire kitchen.
Just like hit the gym. When I order a cocktail, I order it
gluten heavy, extra glueden, please, so just put a breadstick. Allowed
to drink Budweiser, Okay, not bud Light I know you're not bud Light
or is it gay adjacent? I it's fine. I think it's fine.
I'm not happy about Peyton Manning slinging bud Light. No, I'm not happy
about it. I would I probably wouldn't represent bud Light if I were some
sort of celebrity. But but I have and I haven't been to Target,
so I've I've held strong on Target, which I think is a much the
only place I can get little paper umbrellas for my cocktails. You know what,
no one's got a paper umbrella because I'm not supporting satan for a millennial
woman, the level of sacrifice it takes, and not go to Target for
over a year, like I deserve some sort of metal. But that said,
I did like by July, I was back to I was culture,
and I don't think Peyton Manning or even UFC is like they don't understand.
I don't even like bud Light. But sometimes you like I had, I
was at a baseball game and the only light beard that had was bud Light.
But once pro culture socided, something is gay in that sense, pro
culture sense, you can't be undone and liberals go out there and be like
maybe if we just expose like the maybe we just educate them in a second
Nope, education also gay and now Peyton Manning, good, you are my
grievance. I don't even need to do you do anything else? I got
tons. We could go here for hours. Yeah, I'm just getting started.
I'm cutting this off all right. Christopher Bedford, Executive vetitor at the
Common Sense Society, a highly problematic person all around. Thank you so much
for joining us and airing your grievances. I look forward to the twenty twenty
four agrievances. I got more from twenty twenty three. I'll be back.
Yeah, just keep a list and we'll return to them. You've been listening
to another edition of The Federalist Radio Hour and La Trashinsky, culture editor here
at the Federalist. We'll back soon with more. Until then, be the
lovers of freedom and anxious for the fray too. Do
