[00:01:14] I'm your host, G-Long and sitting all across the way as always is Deb. Hi, y'all. Hey, how you doing? I'm doing pretty well on this summer day. That's good. Yeah. It's not a bad day. No. It is Tuesday the something. Yes. And

[00:01:28] Hurricane Burl went through close to Houston yesterday. It did and it knocked our power out too. It did knock our power out last night, but it wasn't too bad. And we got generators because you know, we're schooled in this.

[00:01:42] If you've listened to any of our podcasts, you've probably noticed the weather theme coming up more and more. So yeah, we're schooled in this. But we won't have a hurricane episode unless we have an actual hurricane.

[00:01:52] I don't prefer not to have. I prefer not to have to do the hurricane episode. I don't want to talk about a hurricane episode. Hey, if you'd like to, yeah, if you'd like to reach the Long in the Boot podcast, you can call 337-502-9011.

[00:02:06] And you can also reach us at longintheboot at gmail.com and we have a website. It's well, Long in the Boot at no, it's longintheboot.com. Oops. That's how websites work. Yeah, I know.

[00:02:19] You can get all the past episodes of any of our podcast. We don't have an app. No, no, we don't have an app. Okay. I don't see why we would. I don't see why we would either.

[00:02:32] But I just thought I'd say that because, you know, we move away from... We keep toying with video, but it's just... I can do a podcast without looking... This is our bi-monthly date. Yeah. We just have our date time where we sit and talk.

[00:02:46] Not about plans for the house and all of that stuff. Well, if I start doing video, then I have to start getting Botox and getting fillers. You're going to feel peer pressure? And a boob job. Oh, no, never mind. I'm good there. All right. Yeah. Dad bod.

[00:03:04] Hey, yes, sir. Hey, and you earned it. That's right. And I as a female, well, you know, perfection is not mine. We're all just breaking down, you know, like the president. No, we're not going there. I know. OK. But I got to say...

[00:03:22] Yeah, I never watched debates, but this one promised to be... We wanted it was going to be a train wreck and we all wanted to see it. Exactly. And it didn't disappoint. No, no, they smacked into the wall or he did. He did.

[00:03:36] And as fast as that wheelchair could trace. Man, I usually read just I just usually read the transcript. Yeah, just a little quick little. But after he started just hitting the rails immediately, like right off the bat. And then Trump had that one great line.

[00:03:52] Yeah, I don't think he even knows what he's saying. Yeah, I know. And and miraculously, Trump has said nothing pretty much. Yeah, he's gone. He's gone to ground. And he doesn't need to, which is he doesn't need to spend another dollar.

[00:04:05] No, no, he can just sit back on his laurels. And everybody's screaming for Biden. What's great is suddenly this is really weird. I don't know how the Democratic people see people, but they've just discovered that Joe Biden is in fact old.

[00:04:20] Yes. And that Kamala doesn't look so bad anymore. Joe Biden, Joe Biden's old. That's shocking. All right. Well, normally we have a easy dozen there. Don't you're making no tell me what to do. I'm always going to make noise.

[00:04:36] I talk with my hands equipment. Don't touch the equipment. You weren't saying that yesterday. OK, I'm sorry. That was cheap. That was a cheap shot, folks. I'm sorry. Well, I was talking about the generator, but don't touch it. I don't want to touch a generator.

[00:04:52] I just want my damn electricity. You can touch it. I'll show you how to change oil. No, I've got some sanding to do on a table that I'm going to paint. So I got my own projects. You take care of your projects. I'll take care of mine.

[00:05:04] Normally our standard has been you have some serious political stuff. Well, I have some. We're going to do one. We're not going to talk about any of that today. We're going to do some social. Yeah, and it's going to start off.

[00:05:20] Well, you might think it's going one direction, but then we're going to go a different direction. Right? I don't know. I think that's the deal. OK. Well, society, especially in America, sometimes we're just so stupid. American culture. Well, it started talking about.

[00:05:34] Yeah. And it's been far enough now. Everybody knows hopefully what we're talking about. And it's the haqqwa haqqoo haqqooie. Girl, yes. Because why wouldn't we all just go? And I didn't know what it was. I just kept seeing it. I'm like, what? Yeah, I see in the main.

[00:05:52] So finally, I see the video and it's like, oh, I get it. And I think if you don't know what she's referring to and the particular act to which she is referring. See, I thought it was just a hand job. No, because you need moisture for her.

[00:06:06] No, no. OK. All right. Well, we won't go. We don't need to go there. You might be listening in your car and you may have kids in the car. Yeah, yeah. We're not going to talk about that. That's right. However, however, she didn't go away right away.

[00:06:18] No, no. I expected a little mean. Well, she went viral like instantly. Yes. The girl's name, Haley Welch and doing a man on the street interview. And, you know, she was asked what makes a man go crazy in bed every time and she makes the comment about haqqa.

[00:06:32] OK, so anyway. But it was it wasn't that. Like haqqa Lugie. So it's haqqooie. Haqqooie. I don't know what you're saying. Haqqa. Is that how she said it? Kind of where is she from? Tennessee, I think. Oh, OK. So she is Southern. Oh, yeah.

[00:06:49] Well, there was was there any doubt selling T-shirts and hat. Well, hats is the big thing right now. Serious merchandising. She's going to get it while she can, buddy. And it's just one of those things. And she seems to be kind of OK with everything.

[00:07:05] There was a rumor that she was signing with a talent agency and there were rumors that she was being offered all kinds of jobs. There was a there was a meet. There was a thing on Facebook that said at the school that she worked at.

[00:07:17] Students were spitting on each other. And so she had to quit her job, which is not true. Not even close to true. She know she weren't at school. Oh, OK. She looked to me like as if she probably was still in school.

[00:07:31] Some friends of hers, Tim and DTV, created a merch line to capitalize on it. And or no, Tim and DTV. Sorry, they are not friends with her. It's unknown if Welch is getting a cut from that. However, she is definitely making money from her official hot hats.

[00:07:50] Their trucker caps, you know, baseball caps are produced by Jason Poteet, who owns an apparel company called Fat Head Threads. And apparently he's known her for years. And at the time of this article, which was only two weeks after she had sold 2000 hats, the $50 signed version

[00:08:11] sold out almost overnight. Oh my God. So you get her autograph and the cheapest one is 32 78. I don't know. 32 78. Anyway, so the company has brought in $65,000 just on hats. Wow. And of course, she's got nothing from the memes of which there are no, but that leads people.

[00:08:31] They keeps it fresh in their minds and so they're going to go there. Yeah. And if that interests them, she actually worked in a spring factory. They made springs and she quit that job, by the way, when the video blew up. And then then she got so popular.

[00:08:47] This America, she went and sat down for Zach Bryan, the country singer. And I play, let me say that properly. Zach Bryan, the country singer. He has a girlfriend named Brianna La Paglia and she has a podcast. Plan B. Well, anyway, so she invited her to the show.

[00:09:08] And then later that night, he brought her onto the stage where she got to scream her catchphrase in the microphone. Did she spit on it? I don't think she actually spit on the microphone, although that would kind of give you an idea of what this is all about.

[00:09:25] Yeah, yes, yes, expectation. Are you expectorating right now? Anyway, she said she didn't even know. She said she did the stupid interview with the guy on the street and walked away. And she said, well, her little friend, too,

[00:09:41] she was getting ready for work for her 2 a.m. shift at the spring factory. How southern? I know. What do you do? What did you do, mom? When you were young, I worked at the spring factory. It was hard work until I became famous.

[00:09:56] Anyway, she said it's perfect when she saw the memes and she heard the viral video. She says, quote, I shit a brick. Hey, girls got away with words. She's going to go far. All right. So fake social media accounts everywhere for her. You mean? Yeah. AI things happening.

[00:10:14] Yeah. Well, you know, one guy offered $600 if she would spit in a jar and mail it to him. Well, she can make it on that. I would have done it alone. I hope she did it. I hope she did. Of course, then he's got her DNA.

[00:10:30] He may be some kind of nefarious underworld. She says while there are air and herbs to deal with, she wants to use this as a springboard. She now is manager and a team. She has a team springboard. Well, of course she does.

[00:10:42] And she says her business plan. Yeah. To do a show. And then we're going to be on a bunch of podcasts and everything else in between. Well, you know what? Give give young people credit these days. They know how to market. How to market themselves. That's absolutely.

[00:10:59] So as I got to wrap it up with this, well, then hurry it because she says nothing about doing political stuff. So now she's been labeled as anti-Trump, which as you might guess is a problem in the south.

[00:11:16] The degenerate Hock-Tog girl whose real name is Haley Walsh is anti-Trump. All caps. Did she say that? Far right political activist, Laura Loomer, posted that on her ex. On the other side of bizarre anonymous liberal account said Biden's wins declared that Welch had demolished Trump.

[00:11:36] And when she said anything about policy, she says, I don't care. That was her attitude to that was her quote about politics. I don't care. So how did she demolish Trump? Had she said anywhere, do they have a direct quote from her? Insulting or putting Trump down?

[00:11:51] Well, when they asked her if she would give Trump the Hock-Tog treatment, she said, that's a no. Well, that's that's not about his politics. And that's gross. That's just gross. Yeah. So anyway, she would have said the same thing about Joe. We're not here to talk about her.

[00:12:06] No, not really. But it did lead to a simple question, a simple question. And I said, I wonder if there is a history of spitting. You didn't say that. I did. I did. Actually, I said it because my thought was, ew, that's disgusting. Today we think spittings gross.

[00:12:26] I wonder what they used to think about it. And I said, I wonder if Google has information and low and behold, I put it into my phone and got oodles. Tons of stuff. OK, all the way back to the Greeks. What are we talking about?

[00:12:42] We're talking about spitting, expectorating, expectation. That's right. And if your ears can't handle that, well, I don't know what to tell you. Well, bodily fluids in general, but we're going to reference just spitting. Yeah, let's not talk about all the other ones because they have their own

[00:12:59] deep, deep history. We don't want to go there. We can start with the Holy Scripture. We can start with Jesus. No. Well, and for and as you're impossible as your two little audio tracks at the beginning of the show indicated

[00:13:16] at one time, it was a positive before it became a negative. Yes, the views of spitting and saliva. So in Mark, chapter eight, verse twenty three, never heard of it. Jesus restored a blind man's sight. The speculation is either directly or indirectly directly.

[00:13:38] He just spit into the blind man's eyes. And that's in one version and it anointed him in another version. He made a paste of saliva and mud and rubbed into the blind man's eyes. And I'm going to say that one is probably more legit.

[00:13:52] And I have a reason why I know that. Oh, why? OK. Because when a woman in the Hebrew temple was accused of adultery, they would bring her into the temple and a priest or scribe or whatever you want to call their their guys rabbi,

[00:14:05] Sadducees, Pharisees, whatever temple officials and the Pharisees. They would they would make a beverage out of dirt from the temple floor, spit and sour wine. OK. And they would mix that together and she would drink it. And if it made her sick, she had committed adultery.

[00:14:29] But if it didn't make her sick, she would be fruitful in her marriage. So in other words, if her constitution could handle the grossness of it, of the spit and the dirt and off the temple, nasty wine. And I'm thinking, OK, maybe not the floor where they did

[00:14:46] the actual sacrifice of animals, I hope. Oh, yeah. Because then that's introducing a whole another. That's a whole other issue. All right. Well, Jesus did this because the people of the times, Romans, Jewish rabbis, they all considered saliva to be a legitimate agent of optological therapy for eyes.

[00:15:05] Huh? Yeah. So they'll be called. They see the little desert lizards licking their eyeballs and animals that lick their wounds and things like that, which they have tested that in. No, that don't let your dog lick your wounds. Oh, no, no, it's not. It's not OK.

[00:15:20] But I've seen dogs with really long tongues lick their own eyeballs. Yeah. I've seen that. Oh, I've watched I've watched Otto and Bella lick each other's eyes. Oh, yes. He used to do it all the time, too. But they maybe there's a healing.

[00:15:31] Roman emperor Vespian in A.D. Nine, Vespasian, Vespasian, Vespasian, Vespasian. While he was in Alexandria, he spat upon the eyes of a blind man who had begged him to do so. Allegedly, he had received a dream from and the chronicles. Oh, that was weird. I'm sorry. Sorry, people.

[00:15:54] I was smacking your microphone. It sounded slailing of hands. Let's let's get back to it. Sit on your hands. I can't. I need to gesticulate the chronicle errors of that time. Tell us that the lame man, a lame man also begged him for a cure

[00:16:10] and that the emperor did not want to do this, but it was in front of a really large crowd. And his doctor said, you know what? Go ahead. Request. Go ahead and do it because both men were cured. Well, actually the blind man wasn't totally blind

[00:16:29] as they wrote later. The historians like Stevie Wonder. Yeah, the doctors had previously determined that his blindness was only partial and the lame man, well, he just had a dislocation of his leg. So the physician said, you know, emperor, you got nothing to lose

[00:16:46] if your attempt is successful, then wow, the skies have blessed everybody. The chiropractor was born and if it was unsuccessful, then they would ridicule the two sick people or even asking of such a thing. You know, this man's not God anyway.

[00:17:01] He said, it said that's the motto of today's politicians, except all of the credit and none of the blame. That's life in his life. Right. So then you move on here. Pliny the elder. Yes. Yes. Pliny praise the therapeutic powers of human saliva in his natural history book.

[00:17:22] Surely the ancient Romans knew that they spat upon victims when they had an epileptic fit, they spat toward off bad luck after meeting a person whose lame or injured. If you if you meet somebody who's got some sort of deficiency,

[00:17:35] then somebody needs to spit on you to ward off, you know, um, you could ask forgiveness from the gods and get spit upon. They spat into their right shoe before putting it on for good luck. They would spit on their own bosom for good luck. Man.

[00:17:54] Let's see pain in the neck spit, spit saliva based ointment. Usually it was also better and we should open up a clinic. It was more effective if you had been fasting. The fasting spit is more cleaner. It's better. Yes. Yeah. It's got more power. Yes, it's more powerful.

[00:18:14] So powerful saliva wrote plenty. Purity. That's the word I was looking for. Yes. It's curative power. How about that? Anyhow, we go on and on Albert the great. Albert, we're moving forward. Albert the great. Albert Magnus 1193. I'm moving into the Middle Ages now. But where was he at?

[00:18:35] Does it say the healing powers of oral secretion kept their good renown throughout history? Albert the great, the Latinized name Albert. Albertus Magnus was regarded by some as the greatest theologian and philosopher of the Middle Ages, but I don't know from where. OK, well it said emperor, right?

[00:18:56] No, he is not the emperor. It didn't say emperor. No, it did not say emperor. Albert the great. OK, so I'd all right. I didn't do now I got to look something up. Not now. I'll do it later. Anyway, so I'm moving us into the Middle Ages

[00:19:09] because as history changes, of course, our views are going to change. The culture of saliva is going to is going to go bad again. Fasting. Let's see. I'm sorry, I lost my spot because you started asking me questions. I did not have answers to now.

[00:19:28] You know how Joe Biden felt? That's it. I think I could have done better than Joe as late as the middle of the 19th century. We're finding the therapeutic prestige starting to diminish. So people in the eighteen hundreds now are going to start realizing

[00:19:44] that spit is kind of well, it is. And especially in the West, because, you know, in the West, we're going to start to see it as a negative. Why? Why do you ask? Why, Debbie? Well, because it's disgusting. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[00:20:05] I was easy. I told you it was disgusting. Today's medical today's today's scientist, you know, don't really have the same enthusiasm for spit that they had then. And we've talked about animals and their, you know, saliva and how they have healing properties. But out West, people chew tobacco.

[00:20:22] I don't understand. Well, that's the point. We're going to leave Europe. We're going to come over here and we're going to have some different issues because we've got big cities and stuff. And we also have something called tuberculosis. Oh, yeah. You can't be spitting.

[00:20:37] Oh, so it's the immigrants. That's a darn immigrants. They brought it up. Well, because they come from Europe where spitting is good. It's also it's also very manly. Today, though, you know what? You know what scientists like spit for today?

[00:20:52] It's a window to the state of the body. Oh, yeah. I can see that. So you can look at, you know, your DNA. In the spit. Yeah. So there were some positives there, but we're going to take it now

[00:21:02] to the West, to more of our realm and talk about the long battle against public spitting. It began in New York in the late 1800s when they came up with the first. New York City had the first anti-expectoration law. OK. How do you? Oh, yeah.

[00:21:19] That that became a real thing because the the Americans, much like the French, well, they just rebel against control. And so when you tell men in a big city that they're not going to be allowed

[00:21:32] to spit in public anymore, when it's always been the habit that that they've ever controlled. Well, they're going to spit on those signs and they're going to spit on you. We should point out that, by the way, chewing tobacco was already happening.

[00:21:47] Oh, yeah. In America before Europeans even arrived. Yes. Because of out West, the use of chewing tobacco was nearly universal, but that was the working class. The Native Americans are talking about. They chewed. Yes. They grew tobacco and they chewed the leaves of the plants.

[00:22:02] Pipe tobacco and cigars. That was rich people. That was wealthier Americans, but chewing tobacco and required you to spit. And that was so it was deeply ingrained in the male culture. Right. Men just it was part of who they were.

[00:22:15] Right. But I was just kind of thinking about tobacco use. How that caused. That's when the real problem began. As soon as tobacco makes its appearance in Europe, because Europe went nuts for tobacco and chewing tobacco was one of the ways

[00:22:30] they went nuts for it. That's why Virginia became so rich. But maybe that's if you look at it, perhaps that was like some kind of. At least karmic revenge for Native American people. Maybe because out they lived in they lived in earth.

[00:22:44] They lived in nature. So when they spit on the ground, it was a big deal. But in Europe, they got like concrete. Well, and that's going to be the problem in New York City here soon.

[00:22:52] So and they also the men were saying, look, not only is this part of just being a man, it is also if you have tuberculosis, you need to spit. You need to get rid of that. OK.

[00:23:05] Europeans come over here to visit in the 1800s and they and they right back home. It's like they're shocked and disgusted by it. The sidewalks, streets, parks, factory floors, streetcars of American cities are awash with tobacco, textured saliva.

[00:23:22] One investigation in the city of Baltimore found that in a single city block, there would be 2000 to 4000 individual deposits of spit in one week. This became a huge problem for women. Think about what women had to wear in the 18. Oh, yeah. Long dresses. So their dress.

[00:23:40] Are gross spit and phlegm and chewing tobacco. I have something historic. You want to add to my oh, yeah. Charles Dickens. Oh, yeah. What did Dickens have to say? Dickens went to Washington, D.C. in 1842 to begin his trek across America, reading his well, his works.

[00:24:01] He was very popular. It was huge hit in America all the way out west. But in Washington, he says, and this is all from his writings, as Washington may be called the headquarters of tobacco, tobacco, tinctured saliva.

[00:24:13] The time has come when I must confess without any disguise that the prevalence of those two odious practices of chewing and expectorating began about this time to be anything but agreeable and soon became most offensive and sickening in all public places of America.

[00:24:29] This filthy custom is recognized in the courts of law. The judge has his spittoon. The cry are his. The witness is in the prisoner is while the jury men and spectators are provided for as so many men who in the course of nature must desire to spit incessantly

[00:24:44] in public buildings, visitors are implored through the same agency to squirt the essence of their quids or plugs. As I have heard them called by gentlemen learned in this kind of sweet meat into the national spittoon's and not at the bases of the marble

[00:24:59] columns where they so often did. And it's got that tobacco color and their teeth and their wrap it up with this, but in some parts, this custom is inseparably mixed up with every meal, every morning call and with all transactions of social life.

[00:25:16] The stranger who follows in the track, I took myself will find it in its full bloom and glory, luxuriant in all its alarming recklessness at Washington and let him not persuade himself as I once did to my shame that previous tourists have exaggerated this expectation.

[00:25:33] The thing itself is an exaggeration of nastiness with, which cannot be outdone. That's just disgusting. All right. So we're still, I guess in that sense on the male side and the working class side still seeing spit as a positive, right?

[00:25:51] But now it's about to change because in 1882 doctors discovered that the tuberculosis spectrum was spread through respiratory droplets, right? Coffee and spit. So now we've got medical professionals going, excuse me. This is a public health issue.

[00:26:08] So the city of New York passed a law that by health commissioner Herman Biggs in New York passed the first law to stop expectation, anti-expectoration law. 1896 is when that ordinance was passed at banned, spitting in public places on transit systems.

[00:26:26] It made it a crime punishable by $1 to $5 or up to a year in jail. Come 1910. So 14 years later, they had had 2500 people arrested for spitting in the city. However, it's really difficult to enforce. It was a deeply divisive issue among the city dwellers.

[00:26:49] So what the city council people decided to do was get women involved. Oh God. So even though women didn't have a right to vote, they did. Is there anything fun that they won't try to stop? There was a group called the Ladies Health Protective Association.

[00:27:05] And in 1884, well, they were all beautiful women. They were middle class women. So of course they weren't beautiful. They were just average like the Temperance League. But you'll women who wanted to ban alcohol because they couldn't get.

[00:27:17] All right. Well, men were horrified that the government was telling them what to do. They accused the law of cruelly targeting a natural impulse, curtailing their male freedoms and granting the government too much power. If I want to spit, I should be allowed to spit anywhere I want.

[00:27:34] They questioned the new medical knowledge of tuberculosis is transmission. I thought this was America. This ain't America. Don't spit on my sidewalk. All right. So what they started doing was spitting on the posters and the anti-ordinates posters and the fine posters telling them

[00:27:49] what was going to happen to them. But again, they couldn't really, you know, it's kind of like trying to keep people wearing masks. Yeah. How do you enforce that? Yes. Well, they couldn't do it. All right. So they decided they had to change the culture.

[00:28:03] Right. We're going to change the way people view spitting. So these ladies, the Ladies Health Protective Association got together. The first thing they had been successful at curbing was. No, the lower. Well, that's a whole nother story.

[00:28:16] The Lower East side of New York had a giant manure dump. All right. Do we do it up because they had to put all that horse crap somewhere. Well, yeah, your your cops are everybody. There's horse, drawn carriages. Yeah. Tons of poop.

[00:28:32] So ladies in the Upper East Side neighborhood had gotten together to stop that and they had been successful. So Health Commissioner Big saw this organization as suited to help them in this new anti-expectoration law. And that was the first thing the women did.

[00:28:47] We're not going to call it expectation anymore spit. Oh, nice. So they understood that power of the language. How if you change that, that's going to help. So although they couldn't hold political office or they couldn't vote because, you know, women are well women women.

[00:29:03] Yeah. Back when men had sense, they skillfully manipulated these gendered ideals of women as the keepers of respectability and morality. We talked about that with clothing, because of that. Well, right? They're keeping themselves covered and your sexuality is in the fact that you are

[00:29:21] moral, but then you have to take it now out into the public. So now they know it's that you look moral, but we all know. Well, OK, that's you see, we're back to males and their weird shit. Now they've taken to carve out this political identity.

[00:29:37] Now these women are seeing themselves as the housekeepers of the public spear. Oh, great. Yeah, no longer just the domestic goddess. Now they're also in the public sphere. All right. So this is what again, the society of Karen's. The ladies health protective associate. Yes. What I said, OK.

[00:29:53] And there were probably at least one Karen in the group. Guaranteed. OK, but I think it was probably a different name then. They wrote distributed literature. They came up with slogans and public notices. They told you they changed the word to spit.

[00:30:06] They took part in street cleaning campaigns and slowly attitudes began to change. Spitting was reframed as unsanitary and insult to civic pride. And men then took that as a challenge to be more manly and courageous. And they started getting after other men that they saw spitting in public.

[00:30:26] Kind of like the guy you were talking about virtue signaling, kind of like the guy you were talking about in Europe who got mad at the man for throwing litter out of his vehicle. He got out and like reamed him for it. So, you know, pressure, peer pressure.

[00:30:37] The women understood how men worked and this just kind of spurred. And a bunch of men were like, hey, if I join them and say what they say, maybe they'll like me. Well, this because never, never say that Americans can't come up with a product for everything.

[00:30:53] Spatoons and personal septum. Septums say the word septum cups, septum cups, septum cups, no discrete, the Asta. I know, but they were like little, little flasks for your spit that men would carry around so they could spit in there like Pepsi bottles and beer cans.

[00:31:14] You'd have to go to the tenement.org. Go to the spit museum. The tenement is called the Tenement Museum site. Well, I'll go to. Okay. And you can. I have a picture of two men cleaning spatoons. Okay. Well, I hadn't even gotten to this. It's pretty gross.

[00:31:28] So these could be concealed. So they were discreetly depositing their spit in there. I guess just spit. Yeah, I guess you could discreetly put any bodily fluid in there if you wanted. This one's got a hole in it that in a little door like a. Okay, never mind.

[00:31:45] So ranging in quality from single use paper cups to elegant glass vessels. Septum flasks were designed to appeal to all income levels so that, you know, never let it be said that we're not going to come up with a product. Now. Um, we have the. Spatoons, right?

[00:32:04] Back to your idea of spatoons. Brass spatoons. There are there are still spatoons in the Senate chambers. All the Supreme Court justices each have a spatoons next to their seat in court. More importantly, they are still allowed to chew tobacco. They could if they wanted to.

[00:32:21] If they want to. Yes. And you know what? I want one. I want to see one congressman or senator actually with the dip. I want to see it. Yes, I just want to see it. Well, it's obviously just when Charles Dickens wrote about the

[00:32:36] handsomely carpeted chambers of the house and Senate in 1842. Yeah, they spit in. He gave the visitors this advice. Did not look at the floor. And if you drop anything, do not pick it up. Don't pick it up.

[00:32:47] And if you do pick it up, you must do it with a gloved hand on any account. Well, just the idea that our Supreme Court justices still have a spatoon, even though they're there for show, right? It's supposed to be.

[00:33:00] We think I mean, we don't and that it's still in our Senate chambers out of tradition, the male tradition. See, that needs to go away. In 2024, we have too many female senators, female congressmen, female chewing tobacco. They're not chewing tobacco. Put that shit in a museum.

[00:33:19] We don't need it in our. I'm sorry, that's just a lot of people apparently like it for little balls of paper and stuff. Many of them. That's what it said that young people since young people have no clue

[00:33:30] what it is, they just use it as a waste paper basket. Well, I know what it is. And those old people, well, Thomas Jefferson's manual on behavior in the house and Senate says it is not allowed to disturb another in his speech by spitting loudly.

[00:33:47] So the Huck to a girl would get exactly. So so just hearing that sound of the. Okay, when when a man hears that is that stimulating? I mean, I'm not a man, so I don't know. I don't know. I know. I think to me it's gross. Okay.

[00:34:07] So it does not. In Gorge, no, it doesn't hear it lends itself. Not at all to anything remotely. Well, then I'm having to think that there are some men out there that do maybe they do or women. I don't know. Not, I think it's weird.

[00:34:21] And then that it's not. I think, well, I think it's from viewing honestly, personally, I think it's from viewing adult entertainment. Oh, you think that? Yeah, just pushes. Yeah, I do because we read a thing recently about the number

[00:34:34] of people between the ages of 20 and 30 who are going to hospitals because they've been choked while engaged in, you know, frivolous activities. There's a lot of choking. And apparently that's a thing now. I'm an old man. It's like, I've seen porn before. I know what they do.

[00:34:53] Well, I know what it used to be used to be. Yeah. When they had production values and they actually made tried to have a script. So are we telling the young people that back in the 70s,

[00:35:03] if you just wait a few years, it's not going to be as exciting. Recently in Congress, a representative Richard Hudson of North Carolina sat through an education and workforce committee, is he a Democrat or Republican? He's a Republican. Okay. Recently sat through an education and workforce committee

[00:35:21] markup packing a very full lip in between the occasional expectation into a paper cup turned spittoon Hudson drank Dr Pepper. Oh, no one seemed to mind or really notice, not the panel's chairman nor Susan Brooks, both Republicans who sat beside

[00:35:37] him and they shared multiple conversations as he got his nicotine fix, but not all members of Congress were so accepting upon hearing of Hudson's markup indulgence, anti tobacco crusader, Henry Waxman. Oh, I remember him. Yep. Democrat of California said members should not be chewing

[00:35:56] tobacco during committee hearings and markups. These are televised proceedings and believe it or not, public figures can be role models. Can they please? No, please don't. Here, wait, I want to say that again because gosh, that was comedy gold. Public figures can be role models.

[00:36:12] And they might, he might encourage somebody to. Well, yeah, if they don't work for government, I guess they can anyway. He said members flaunting tobacco use sends the wrong message to kids as if kids are watching C-span. They're not watching C-span, but we know that Major League

[00:36:28] Baseball has has in 1990 college baseball band chewing tobacco 1991 Major League band tobacco use by minor league players. Let's not far this goes though. Hudson for his part said I wish Waxman and other members of his party would save their outrage for the

[00:36:47] debt and the lower standard of living for future generation caused by tax and spend policies. But Waxman actually once conducted an undercover tobacco sting in the capital complex. He sent two 15 year old girls around various congressional vending machines and snack shops trying to buy cigarettes.

[00:37:05] And so of course in the paper it said capital offense kids by cigarettes from Congress. No, they bought cigarettes from a machine that is indiscriminate and doesn't care how old you are. But it got rid of vending machines. Okay. And but they can still chew.

[00:37:22] So, you know, we'll put condoms in there and don't worry about the tobacco. That used to be part of their deal like when you got elected in the 1800s. Condoms. No, when you got elected to work or the Senate, your tobacco would be paid for.

[00:37:39] That was that was like a perk. Yeah. Okay, especially snuff. Lots of lots of people use snuff and so you can find snuff boxes in little like little keepsake things in Congress. I had I as a child, you know, spittoons were not new to me.

[00:37:56] I knew absolutely what they were and the lady that used to take care of me, her and her husband in their two recliners side by side with one spittoon in between them would both dip their snuff and spit while they watch their TV.

[00:38:10] And I'd sit back and just it was so gross. But of course I did try one day. So I put a little plug, but snuff boxes and spittoons still found throughout the house. And it doesn't need to be there because do you think Ocasia?

[00:38:27] Do you think Cortez is out there? Chewing tobacco? Well, we want to be equal men and if men are going to spit. Well, I think they're going to spit anyway. I've heard comedians talk about like frozen spit in New York on the sidewalks.

[00:38:40] And it's just everywhere apparently still. Yeah. In the wintertime. Well, so we've changed the culture some but not. But spitting spitting is a big thing. And thankfully people heroes like the hooktog girl heroes heroes are going to keep that tradition alive and well.

[00:38:59] Well, maybe that's the reason because it's deeply ingrained in our DNA, especially in the South, weirdly enough where tobacco was first harvested and made North Carolina, Virginia. You're going to have South Carolina, all the all the tobacco plantations. It said churches used to all have spittoons

[00:39:18] at the end of both sides. I found it interesting that a quid, a quid, which in England is like a pound. I think no, it's less than a pound. And maybe it's more than a pound. It doesn't matter. The term is, you know, give me a quid.

[00:39:34] A quid is what they called a plug if you were chewing on it. That was a quid. Yeah. A plug is intact. Tobacco snuff is going to be powder. This is a quote from a gentleman just that wrote out of doors where his life was principally led.

[00:39:48] The chewer spat upon his lands without offense and in his homes and public buildings were supplied with spittoons. Brown and yellow parabolos were projected to the right and left of these receivers, but very often with terrible aim, which made for not necessarily clean living.

[00:40:06] Even the pews of fashionable churches were likely to contain these familiar conveniences. The large number of Southern men and these were of the better class officers of the Confederate army and planters worth twenty thousand dollars or more rich. Um, this was after the war barred from General Amnesty,

[00:40:23] who presented themselves for the pardon of President Johnson while they sat awaiting his pleasure in the answering of the White House covered its floor with pools and rivulets of spit. OK, I don't even understand how this has continued then. The spitting? Yes. Amen. Even in Steamboat Willie.

[00:40:44] Steamboat Willie 1928. Yes. The Steamboat Willie takes big old bite of tobacco and spit. I know, OK, well, but that's the 1920s. This twenty twenty four now and now it's the hot dog girl and she is making a nice little tidy sum. Yep. Talking about spit.

[00:41:03] Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and sex. Well, yes. Negate that part of her. Right. That's exactly right. OK. Because you combine those two and apparently it's just you can't not do it. So yeah, that's in a baseball is the place now where the big fight is apparently

[00:41:23] young baseball players want to go back to it. No, they want it stopped. Yeah, they want it stopped. And so many of it's been banned in some way. Think about it. So many a lot of these places you see them spit and it's on like artificial turf.

[00:41:37] And I've always wondered about that. Well, no, they're not allowed to spit any more on the field. Baseball players, baseball players are. Is that right? Twenty eleven teams are no longer allowed to provide smokeless tobacco products to players. Not allowed to provide it.

[00:41:52] OK, baseball slow death of chewing tobacco. That was in twenty nineteen. Yeah, that's that's the battle. Some players still use it both on and off camera. Retired Joe Garajola has been a leader in the effort to eliminate chewing and dipping from the majors.

[00:42:10] He's got a spit national spit tobacco education program. Touring clubhouses to discuss the dangers because, you know, they have had national baseball players die. Tony Gwynn, a big league player died from mouth cancer in twenty four. That's coincidence. Well, and but it has been banned in the use

[00:42:30] the major leagues banned it by minor league players during games, practices and travel. That's what I tried to say before, but you just interrupted me. Yeah, that's minor league baseball banned all tobacco use to just break the link between baseball and tobacco.

[00:42:45] Because surprisingly, kids look at athletes as role models. That I'm not going to laugh at that one. Exactly. Politicians, not so much. But yeah, athletes. Yes, I mean, if your kid is sitting in front of the TV in a suit

[00:42:58] and tie watch and C-span, maybe you know, wow, that's amazing. Well, get him on Jeopardy. Where do you get a politician from? From a previous politician. Oh, nepotism. It's nepotism. It's our country. It's the way it works.

[00:43:11] I don't know. I have a couple of former students that I think are going into politics. They're still at a lower level community. But that's starting out, but you can break in. I mean, anybody can get elected if you have a large enough network.

[00:43:21] OK, and we're we're watching now. I never even looked at the clock. I don't know how long we've been on this day. Well, the official start maybe about maybe about 40 minutes. Oh, OK. Yeah. So we're pretty good.

[00:43:37] All right. Well, then I could let you talk about your crap or, you know, I had I had the connection that spitting is today being used to diagnose issues. Yes. So that's a nice easy. Well, think about how many people noninvasive way.

[00:43:54] Think about how many people have provided their spit, their DNA, their spit, ancestry to Mormons. Yes, because that's ancestry dot com. I know. And and well, a lot of people don't realize that even. Well, that was my point about her sending her spit to somebody for six hundred

[00:44:09] dollars, at least she's getting money back on her DNA. Yeah. I mean, if absolutely. If our information is valuable, then our DNA is the the core of our information. Right. It's everything about who we are. Everything. It's your information. And it's your software.

[00:44:28] It's yes. So you don't own it now. You no longer have no because we've given it to the Mormons. Given it to the Mormons, who would be more than happy to provide it to the government. I'm sure I would assume that the police can access their database.

[00:44:44] Yeah, I bet the government certainly can. Could they use religious? Hmm. Not for a business like that. I wouldn't think they don't have like a hit. Is it your provider providing it? People are in fact, people are paying them money to take their spit.

[00:44:58] OK, so in the future now, we have an even less invasive way. Think about how brilliant that is. Yeah, you send us your spit and 30 bucks. It's just like that movie where everybody got a free cell phone. Yeah, right?

[00:45:12] The rich guys and then everybody a free cell phone. What a grand deal. He's a he's a entrepreneur who well, that's the excuse they use for social media being free. Yes, they're taking all of our information and then they're selling it to all kinds of people.

[00:45:26] And when people complain about that, they say, hey, we're providing you this cool thing and it's free. It's free to if we didn't do this. You'd have commercials and advertising. I have advertising everywhere. And you know what? It's advertising towards me personally because they know what I do.

[00:45:41] They know what I'm interested. They took your information, your habits, everything about you. And they market it to other people. You and then when you are born, all of your information is technically yours. Your parents.

[00:45:58] But in order to use the many of the things that are absolutely essential in today's world, you have to give up your rights to yourself. Give me your Social Security number. Sure, that was the beginning. That was. But now you're providing every now the government is losing our

[00:46:15] information to nefarious people. They can analyze what you buy at the grocery store and probably have a pretty good idea of your calorie to intake in a course of, you know, I thought the other day that I had thrown something away that I

[00:46:27] bought at Walmart and I came back and I said, Oh, wait a minute. My grocery list that I just bought is at Walmart on my website. Yeah. So I went and looked and actually I must have put it back because I

[00:46:38] didn't buy it, but it helped relieve me of thinking that I had to go through my track and supposedly. And then on the other side that there's this whole thing is supposed to be so smart and so well done.

[00:46:48] But okay, when I go to the store or when I order clothing online, I have to order clothing that is what some might call large. So why do I get advertisements for clothing that has no large sizes? I don't know that are you.

[00:47:06] What getting clothing advertisements for normal size? No, no, like on when you go to Amazon, you'll be like, you look, I'm looking for some, I'm looking for some draw strings, summer pants, pajama pants and it's like, ooh, those look cool.

[00:47:20] I'll buy those and you look and they go up to one X one X. I laugh at you one X. Well, you have to specifically search. You have to put in what you they should just know.

[00:47:31] Well, they do, but maybe they're still trying to deceive us a little. Trying to make me feel bad and maybe it's right. I did find that another way that they're going to be non invasive in our diagnosing medical issues for us in the future is just facial scans.

[00:47:46] Sure. Healthy aging, detecting disease, why not? Just a simple facial scan. There you go. Yeah. And it's easier to do for women than it is for men, according to the study. Yeah. Like they can actually your chronological age, like your face heats up

[00:48:02] in different zones depending on your age and your health, which I thought was kind of interesting. That makes sense. Your face gets cooler in the T zone as you get older. It's your brain not working as well. Let's test.

[00:48:19] So so Biden's forehead and the area between his eyes must be ice. I see. Is this ice? I see. Anyway, I thought that was breaking on his brow. Yes. Thank you, Jethro. I told him, yes. OK, so there it is. Expectorating, masturbating, gesticulating.

[00:48:41] Bet you didn't think a person could do a podcast about spitting. Did you? That's back home. Spitting, what a nasty, nasty habit. But we are steeped in the history of spit. True. I was reading about spit in movies.

[00:48:57] Weirdly enough, thanks to Monty Python and Willy Wonka making reference to spit. And actors, they have a little they make they have a they make a silicone based spit for movie scenes when somebody gets like spit in the face. Spit on somebody.

[00:49:16] Yeah, so they don't really get spit. I want authenticity in my movies. Some actors though say, I don't care. I want to be legit. Yeah, I want authenticity. And so my reaction will be better if I'm spit upon. No, I think it's real spit. Who was it?

[00:49:33] Florence Olivier. When Dustin Hoffman was talking about method acting and actually doing the thing in desktop, he goes, why not try acting, dear boy? Now that you say it, though, the Monty Python clip was a positive. I dream about being spat upon. Oh, what do you follow?

[00:49:55] Is that what they had me in? Manacles, he's like, oh, manacles. But that's European view. And then the American view, spitting is a dirty habit. Well, no, but he was hung up on a wall. He was it was there. It was the Monty Python thing.

[00:50:08] You know, do you think I haven't seen? Well, I know that Lord, how long have you known me? Long enough for you to have seen that movie a few times. So my point is that European view versus, you know, our, yeah, versus American Western view.

[00:50:21] Well, I think in Europe now people just generally don't spit. I haven't seen it. You know what I have seen though? We talked about on our trip to Missouri recently, Louisiana is trash. It's trashy. It's very trashy.

[00:50:34] As soon as you got, as soon as you get into Arkansas, Missouri, Missouri, very clean cities on the highways, no trash. You're not seeing crap everywhere. Well, if you go down into the city, there's a little bit, but it's still pretty clean. No, it was.

[00:50:47] But Louisiana on roads in the middle of nowhere, there's garbage everywhere. And it's like what the people are just flinging, throw our trash out. Trashy, trashy. Stop it, Louisiana. We're better than that. We are. You should have a proud culture of your bayous. Don't throw trash.

[00:51:04] Louisiana is beautiful. Why would you want to trash it up? And then on the other hand, I would say to. Uh, government clean up the highways. Yeah, they were working on the highways everywhere as far as maintaining them. That's the problem in Louisiana again. It's maintenance.

[00:51:20] The roads were in great shape. Maintenance. Nobody wants to know how long have we preached that maintenance? The more you have, the more you got to keep up. Democratic Party needs to do some maintenance.

[00:51:31] One of the things you need to do occasionally is you got to dead head that plant. That's it. How do you know you're a real gardener? You go to somebody else's house and dead head their plants. That's right.

[00:51:43] And that's exactly what the Democratic Party needs to do with their party right now. I want the government to stay out of my life, but I do need you to dead head those plants. Pick up that trash.

[00:51:54] Well, speaking of government in our life, I'm not going to do it today, but I am going to talk about these 10 commandments. I know I don't want any negatives and this big Oklahoma Bible push not in a well,

[00:52:05] I am horribly concerned when the government gets involved in religion. Yes, because it's a place the government has no right to be. Reasonable people also. And religious people, people with faith should be terrified. They should.

[00:52:20] Of the government all of them involved in religion in any way, shape or form, but they are not. They see it as a win. And no, not everybody. No, not everybody. That's my point.

[00:52:30] They don't all see it as a win, but some, some feel like it's going to be. But if the government starts forcing and it's by, it's by degrees, everybody's like, what's big deal? It's just 10 commandments. It's by degrees, you know, that's how it works. Yeah. Incrementalism.

[00:52:48] Get an inch, take a mile. And that will people in on the right have been saying about gay people and the gay agenda for years. Yeah, yeah. Give them an inch. I'll take a mile. I'm going to keep going. Well, same thing.

[00:52:59] They're going to hop to me on it. All right, so anyway, that's I was looking for the rules that they were trying to change kids because now that you mentioned the 10 commandments, I recall reading that somewhere and I don't think I don't think I saved it.

[00:53:14] But in the effort to switch kids over so that they weren't spitting everywhere, they had a list of commandments, right? And it was. Oh, yeah. It was one of them was. Well, actually the first and the last one were both about there it is.

[00:53:31] Oh, actually it was 19 in the United States, the American Lung Association. There's night who made these the American Lung Association. They have 19 commandments. Hold on. God only has 10. The American Lung Association undertook a veritable crusade against spitting. Children in schools were given a list of 19 rules to observe,

[00:53:50] all of which hammered in a tone in various tones. The injunction to avoid spitting. Number one, do not spit. Number two, do not let others spit. 19 as well as the first one, do not spit. Brigades of refer to number one.

[00:54:08] Brigades of Boy Scouts distributed notices fixed posters with anti spitting slogans and the campaign still went on into the 1940s. You know, you could just put the first one. Do not spit. Do not for the next night. It's for the rest. Just put C number one.

[00:54:24] I like that. Do not let others spit. Yeah, French Senate in 1922 had approved a law that prohibited spitting. And the French, of course, flaunted their open rebellion because they have a tradition of contesting any. Any language they occasionally do that. Yes.

[00:54:47] So they just had lots of satire and comedies in theaters about about spitting and how they were forbidden to spit. They came up with different a book of how to spit and how to do it correctly,

[00:54:58] you know, like spitting straight up in the air so it goes straight down and doesn't land on your shoe. And and of course, the greatest comedic thing in the world is the spit take spit takes. Yes, they're important.

[00:55:11] They are there in the history of film and they're used all the time. Almost as much as the fruit cart silent movies had for spit takes because we all understood it. Yeah. Yeah. A fruit cart. A lot of people don't know that rule.

[00:55:24] Oh, about the fruit cart. Yeah. If there's a chase. Yeah. You got to knock over a fruit cart. You got to not somebody's losing their fruit cart today. It might be a kiosk. I guess it's like check offs fruit cart.

[00:55:34] Right. Yeah, because he's the one that said, you know, if you have a gun and you see it in a scene, it has to be used. Yeah. So there you go. And not check off from Star Trek folks.

[00:55:44] All right. I think we've delved into the realm of saliva. And today, certainly, I learned a lot. I did too. There's even more out there too much. And you should never go before you. There is no end to spittle.

[00:56:00] There are very diverse degrees of actually, there is an end to spittle. You die. Yes. And then you're not hydrated anymore or or you can give somebody lots of saltines. We didn't even talk about the movies and the tribes where they spit

[00:56:14] to make their own little drink. Oh, yeah. They did that in in a Muslim. Oh, yeah, you do. You love the movie where everybody the Viking Oh, Dune. No, no, no. Where they did their nose. They hawker. Oh, 13th warrior. 14th warrior. Thank you. Well, how about Dune?

[00:56:35] Yeah. When that guy comes in and it's all serious and he walks right up to the table and then goes to the on their water. It's too valuable. Everybody pulls swords and everything. Wait, wait, he's honoring you. Yes. His is his valuable spit is valuable.

[00:56:50] That is your that is your age. To have his moisture. Yes. OK. All right. I'm sorry. I had thought about that earlier today. Yeah. 13th where they washed up. They washed up in a tub and everybody blew their nose into it.

[00:57:03] Everything is not spit and you had to drink it and your culturally horrified but in their culture. So he did it. I will know. OK, well, you would dishonor them. Yes, I would. I would just leave. Sorry, I'm out.

[00:57:21] Well, once I saw the fire of her, I would have left anyway. No doubt that movie has too many questions. That well, it's badly badly made. Maybe where are they all at? I know it's there's a lot of potholes. All right, but I was good.

[00:57:34] I still like Michael Crichton, kids, eaters of the dead. Eaters of the dead. Check into it. Yes, read it, read it. All right. So I think that's going to be about it. Don't you think we might be serious next time? Maybe. Maybe. You never know.

[00:57:46] So I stayed with us the whole time. It's summer, but summer is almost over. Hey, Bella, Bella. Yes, they quiet the whole time. She did. She was a good dog. All right. That's a good girl. Good girl. Your folks, your joy is portable, just like your spit.

[00:57:59] Take it with you. But you should hold on to it. Hold on to it. I don't want to share. You can share your joy, but don't share your spit unless they ask for it. That's right. And then give it will in life. If you want to. Yeah.

[00:58:13] OK. Later. See you two weeks. Bye.

[00:58:50] OK, you're OK. And it changed his life, his little vampire life. Nandor is always searching for, you know, the secret. Well, he's been alive a long time. He has and he just wants happiness. Well, he should have realized by now if you live that long

[00:59:08] and you haven't found it, you ain't going to find it. No, because he's living in the modern era now. And yeah, you know, and life is too much with us. You know how come vampires never like go to college?

[00:59:23] And then later they, you know, learn how to run a blood bank. You know what I mean? Like or a plasma center, plasma center or something where they just have access to have it on cap. I see like kind of like pedophiles in the Boy Scouts.

[00:59:44] You you go to wear what you love is you go too far. Well, all right, I went a little far, but I didn't. I'm not doing that. That's them. It's not like I made it up and it doesn't happen. PDF files. PDF files.

[01:00:04] All right, we're already we haven't even begun and we're already bad. Is that dog still in here? She is still in here. OK, she's down here staring at me. I don't think it's fair that she gets to be in here and Otto doesn't.

[01:00:16] Otto does not give a crap. He is on his couch. Well, I did close the curtain so he can't see the neighborhood. So he will be mostly quiet. Shut up. Yeah, he doesn't do well. Well, no, he's just excited.

[01:00:31] He saw stuff happening out there, you know, I know. And he wants to tell us about it. So his little doxin bark. Yeah. Yes. What are you doing? I'm adjusting the mic. OK. Is it OK? I don't know. Is it OK? I don't know.

[01:00:49] I don't I don't feel professional today, so we're just going to have to do it. You know why? Because it's summer. It's summer. Yeah. It's the summer of reveal. What are we revealing? Everything in politics. Our president's finally been revealed.

[01:01:06] Everything. The suddenly Joe Biden's been revealed as an old man. The veil has been pulled back. I don't know why people didn't know it until the debate. I don't know why they didn't. It's been an emperor's new clothes kind of situation for a decade. I don't know.

[01:01:23] I don't know if it's been that long, but no, for it may not for him particularly, but everything that's been. But you just watching when he ran against Trump the first time and he's a different guy now. He's this is it's over. Yeah, let me be 81.

[01:01:35] I'm going to sit on my porch. All right. So I guess we're going to get going. OK, I have a thing before it and then the song. And you can't make noise. Don't leave the microphones where they are. You're just going to hear what I'm wondering about.

[01:01:50] I think our timing should have been wondering about something that doesn't do it. Don't you dare, Rick? Roll. That's what's going to happen. So you're just going to use all your clips up front. This is the two of them back to back. Just shoot what you got.

[01:02:02] Yeah, you got nothing else. Yeah, I'm going to talk to you. Don't reveal yet. Oh yeah, it's the summer of revealed air. I thought I made that clear. Yes. All right. So are we ready? Are you ready?

[01:02:20] It's not going to get any better, so you might as well. You sure? Yes. OK, bodily fluids be damned. All right. OK, now we're ready.
