This is a HeadGum Podcast.
Eric and Steve.
If Jake's willing to fucking take on this judgment hat, we can really move something now. Well, well, well, ladies and gentlemen, they are giving us the microphone again. And we all get to celebrate. It's weird here to help with the greatest man we know in Omaha, Nebraska. It's Steve Berg. Steve, how are you, buddy?
Well, I am fantastic. It's hot. It's humid. It's a classic Midwest summer. I played some tennis this morning. Boy, I went through about one and a half Nalgene bottles. But boy, staying hydrated, Eric, wearing sun hats, got to keep that sun off the old face. Like, you know, I've had a brush. With skin cancer. So, you know, when you see me outside, I look like a white ghost, dude. I have like sunscreen all over the place. It's dripping in my eyes. My eyes always sting. I got a giant sun hat that my wife likes to make fun of me, even though she bought it for me. But I look like the biggest goon in the neighborhood.
Mine went the other way. I had this giant... I went to the Dodger game yesterday because it was so hot. Tickets were so cheap. And I live three and a half miles away. So I'm like, I'm going to go park for free. And I got my giant sun hat. And my wife's like, are you wearing that? I'm like, yeah. And she's like, it just makes your head look so small. Shouldn't she be fighting? She's always on me for sunscreen and stuff. But apparently she's a fashion forward lady first. Because Steve, I'll admit this. I have a small head. Seven and a half. But I look at my body and my head doesn't match my body. I have a small head. You have a generously sized head. You have to get your hat specially ordered.
I do from Cranially Endowed. That's a shout out to Cranially Endowed. If you want to sponsor us, that would be great. I've been wearing your hats for about a decade. If you ever go to a business, let me know because I'll buy all your inventory.
Cranially Endowed, we'd love to have you as a sponsor. But I think Steve has such a giant head because you have such a massive brain. And I think our listeners would agree.
Yeah, but I feel like a big brain, I think, scientifically, is not an indicator of a smart person. So it might be the opposite. The big brain could explain some of my setbacks.
Well, Steve and I both have Nordic blood. There's now these alien files are getting released. Who knows if it's a psyop, but they're saying that Nordics might be an alien species. So that's maybe why Steve and I are friends and vibrate together.
That's true.
Do you buy that, Steve?
No, I don't, but...
I want to believe.
I'll explain to you off the air why I don't think it is. I think it's a problematic trope, I think. But you know me, I'm always paranoid and looking into the... No, yeah.
...psychopathy of everything. Isn't it weird, though? It's got to be weird for you, Steve, that this stuff's now in, like, the paper, and this stuff's on regular websites of, like... Government releases Nordics are an alien species. Lizard people perhaps ruling the world. I'm like, this is the news. What happened?
It's crazy. And honestly, it's a lot of huge claims with absolutely beyond zero evidence. And as much as I love all this stuff, it's all folklore, baby, until it ain't. And so I think it's also something that's making people crazier. I don't think that's a very positive thing to be putting out there. When you have the Vice President of the United States saying that, yes, I believe in UFOs, yes, I believe in occupants driving UFOs, and he thinks they're demons. He said that on an hour-long talk show format. To put that kind of messaging into the world, I think is very negative and problematic and also zero evidence. What is a demon? Do demons exist? I don't think so. I think it's something from mythology.
However, Eric... Back to sun hats. Andy Dick might be a demon. Well, you know, he's not a demon. But Eric, I am so curious because it's summertime, and summertime means boomers are on tour. And brother, I know you've been out and about going to these solo shows, seeing a little man by the name of Robert Zimmerman.
