               10:00 AM,
               Wednesday, November 22nd, 2017: In what is the
               craziest timing ever, a day after I tell Don
               "WE'RE DOING A PODCAST DAMNIT",
               Jay texts me and asks me to be on his new podcast.
                So yeah, I'm
               finally gonna break down and do a weekly video podcast
               (that will also be available audio only) with Don in
               2018. We'll give it a year, if it gets traction we'll
               keep doing it... if not, we won't. I feel like so
               much of ME is missing from "The Journey" because
               of Facebook taking the place of those thoughts, I just
               want to capture talking about present events and
               there's just no better way that through a weekly talk
               show with a friend. The name I have come up with is
               "Flash & The Fundamentals" because although one
               might think race best defines our differences, it's
               actually not even close. I'm the nuts & bolts guy,
               he's the swagger. It defines how we almost always talk
               to each other about our issues in life. I find it
               wildly interesting and I hope to document the
               REAL DON for at least a year so before his ass
               dies people don't think he's Goldie Fuckin' Wilson.
               Make your mark man, it ain't the tooth. ANYWAY... This podcast Jay
               is starting is called "Everything But" and he wants to
               interview people about the shit no one usually talks
               about because they're so busy talking about their own
               shit. I feel the same in Hats & Minigolf
               interviews. Jay and I have great conversations and
               they generally go on forever so I can see why he
               wanted me to be his first guest. Now, here's my
               connundrum... Jay voted for
               Trump. And as much as I wanted to edit this down
               to 15 minutes or whatever, I really really really
               think it's valuable for people who think Trump voters
               are a certain way... to watch this ENTIRE VIDEO. Have
               it almost shock you. Now, my personal opinion is that
               Jay is the normal, white, male that is mostly
               concerned about what affects him and those closest to
               him therefore most liberal causes do indeed fall flat
               for him. But even that being said, it's fascinating to
               hear this guy talk and know that he walked into a
               voting booth, read the name "DONALD TRUMP" and
               thought "yeah, that's my guy." I don't give a fuck how
               much Hillary annoyed you, there's something extremely
               fucked up about our information sources if you thought
               the LITERAL AFFECTATION OF MR.
               BURNS FROM THE SIMPSONS was a
               reasonable choice.
 I'm stealing my own lines from the podcast. I'll let
               you take it in. It ain't short, but it's
               interesting.
  Good stuff. Just
               watched it again. Looking forward to doing this weekly
               with Don. And of course, when Jay is in town, we'll
               have a conversation with him. Oh yeah, "Flash &
               The Fundamentals" will be shot at the GolfKon
               bar. Giddy-up. Adam |
