I'll tell you what a luxury hotel is. You put me up in this beautiful hotel, and the elevators are always there. That's the difference between a good hotel and a bad hotel. Right, when you have to wait. No matter what floor you're on, you push the button. I swear to God, two seconds, the thing is there. And then I'm in the middle of, I'm on the road for a month right now.
I'm home for two days because I'm out promoting the special and doing road work on the weekends in between. So yesterday I was like, fuck, I got to do some laundry. And so I look on my Google Maps. Is there a place for drop-off service? Nothing. I would have to drive like 15 minutes in an Uber. So I was like, fuck it. I'll just do the hotel laundry. And it's like a luxury hotel.
So I put my clothes into the bag. It was five pairs of socks, five T-shirts, and five pairs of underwear. I came back. It was $105. Jesus. I was like, fuck, man.
Yeah, right, right. And I don't buy expensive socks, you know, but I had already turned- Again, who's making those socks?
And what store is selling sheen? I mean, I know- I think it's an online thing. Okay. Because I know sometimes the big ones like Walmart, they get in trouble for some of the places they shop.
If they found two in China, I mean, China, they protect what's going on in these factories. Do you think... I mean, does this count the North Koreans that are being held?
Which is weird because that was the kid's name that they caught doing the child labor.
Is that what you buy? It's called Tom's, yeah. They sell you a pair of shoes and they donate a pair to a third world kid that has no shoes. Oh, that's nice. You know those barefoot kids? Yeah, that's nice. I'm not barefoot anymore. There you go. What are the companies? I guess Patagonia, they're very conscious about where they manufacture shoes.
No, the company is not doing good. Dude, I fucking love that company. Love that place. They got one in Marina Del Rey that's huge. I don't know. I get so excited just walking through the aisles finding cool shit.
And you had to put in those giant flashlights. Double D batteries that weighed like eight pounds to carry it around.
Dude, all my camping stuff is solar. Really? Yeah, my lanterns are all solar. It's great. Oh, wow. They collapse. It's collapsible, and then it pops up. I think it's a Coleman. It collapses, and then it pops up and then charges, and it's got a nice light.
Yeah, I bet you those boats, those people that take a boat from Hawaii to mainland U.S., they must have β everything must be solar. Yeah.
Yeah. Dude, if you told me we're going to send you on a sailboat to Hawaii, I would be like, I'll just die. You could just, you could kill me. Going into storms with 20 foot waves on a sailboat.
Or sieges. Like, a siege used to be you surrounded the city and you kept any food from coming in. Now, how about a drought for a year? Right, right.
Well, how much control? I mean, I don't know anything about it except like, what do they call it? Cloud seeding? Cloud seeding is real. How much control do we have over the weather now?
So if there's cloud seeding, will there not be fighting between places about who gets to pull the water from the clouds? Because you'll exhaust the air in the water eventually, in the sky eventually.
When you're in the desert, sometimes that shit backs up.
That's the Department of Cloud Seeding. We're not cloud seeding.
By the way, the BBC, when I think about, because everybody talks about which news sources can you trust, and neither side trusts the other side. BBC kind of feels like the place we can all go, that's pretty good.
