Matt Connarton Unleashed: Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar

I think we should talk about this Drake thing and Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

You know, I didn't know about this, by the way, I didn't

know. I didn't know this was going on either. Apparently they're beefan.

We hear that word a lot on the show back when, you know,

back in the day, back in the day we were talking about Plus it's

a fun word to say, beefin. I like to say with a deep

voice, beefin. They've got beef. But somewhat I think it will go

a little lower now what what it reminded me of? Though long time listeners

might recall, and this this goes back several years now, but long time

listeners might recall or even if or if you've been following me on social media

for many years, that I once had a beef with mc hammer. Of

course, yes, the mc Hammer. For for several months, I lived

in constant fear that mc hammer was going to come to New Hampshire and murder

me. It was very frightening. He called the show one day. He

was very threatening, you know, and of course see the location on the

ID too. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, that's right. They were

coming to get you. That's right, it was where does he live?

Trying to remember now Oakland, Oakland, California. And it started showing up

quite a bit on your your top of cows for listening. That actually is

true? That really, that actually is true on on my h my web

analytics, I was I was getting web traffic out of Oakland, California.

That part, that part's not a not a bit an. I wonder if

they remember you, well, I don't know. I worry about that.

Maybe if you make that up, maybe they've been letting me. I mean

it's been a number of years now, maybe they've just been letting me get

now. MC will remember you for certain because he was really upset with you

whom hammer. Yeah, yeah, he was very upset with you. Put

his peepsy I might have new peeps. They might not pick up on it.

That's what I worry about. He might slide under the radar this time.

And of course there's my alter ego Sizzle and uh even the People's mayor

got out. No, I'm not going to. I think I think M.

Sizzle's retired. Is some of his too much ego? Yeah? Yes,

yes, M Sizzle thought he was the greatest rapper alive. All that

in the baggage chim mm hmmm. So but I was reminded of that.

And of course, if you're interested in the uh, the saga uh that

I had with uh EMC Hammer, if you go on YouTube, actually,

if you go to my YouTube channel, i PM nation, you can you

can find all of that. Just to a search, just to uh to

search em C Hammer, Matt Connorton, it'll all come up and just uh

it will wait, do you see, and you'll understand why I was spending

my days living in fear and uh quivering with the uh anticipation and dread of

of what I thought was going to be my impending doom at the hands of

mc Hammer. Anyway, so apparently. But the other thing that that struck

me about this uh Drake and dot Kendrick Lamar beef. I feel that this

whole concept of beefs and hip hop has changed over the years, because I

seem to recall and those of you who are old enough to remember, of

course, back in the nineties, you know, we lost a couple of

big you know, we had the whole East Coast West Coast thing, and

we lost Biggie and we lost Tupac and hils of gunfire. And but what

you're talking about, like Kendrick Lamar and Drake, you know, there's not

gonna be any violence here, So I would be very shocked. These don't

seem like violent maybe not nat they're not violent people. But what I was

interesting, I mean, Drake is Canadian. I don't think they even like

this all started. You know how long ago this started? No, you

know, I was shocked about that. You know more about this than me.

I didn't even know about this until you brought it to my attention.

Well it's it's it's really high. I mean, it's like it's like trending

number one on Billboard. Everybody's talking about this. Now. This started back

in twenty twelve. And you know what, It started with DMX DMX I

was very very upset at his passing a couple of years ago. Yep,

yep, yep. I guess he went after Drake's character in his fashion sense,

and boy, they really went at it. So this has been going

on for twelve years. Hang on, we have a call and the caller

idea is not showing me who this is. Oh boy, this could be

mc hammer. I could be in trouble all over again, started all up

again. Hi, welcome to Matt Connor toon unleash. Who's this? It's

virtual Dave Ridley, Virtual Dave Ridley. Oh my god, I thought you

were mc hammer calling to kill me. Nope, I was calling to do

something worse. I was calling to change the subject. Well, Dave,

the format of the show has changed a bit, so go ahead and tell

me what the subject is and I'll tell you if we can get into that

or not. Yeah, Bitcoin Pizza Day, Bitcoin Pizza Day are all pizzas

free? Now you probably have to use bitcoin to pay for him. No,

that the bitcoin people would pay for it. Oh, I don't know,

but I do like CoInc Sorry Dave, go ahead. Yeah, it's

going to be a celebration in Keene on May twenty second. I guess that

the details are at free king dot com. But we celebrate how well our

currency, you know, sort of, the libertarian currency is doing against the

government currency, outperforming it by a factor of sixty thousand to one. Well,

what I am most concerned with in an instance like this is, of

course pizza. How much of that is influenced by the people paying ransoms with

bitcoin? Oh? I don't know. We can't get it. We can't

get in that in any detailed Dave, Like I said, the is there

a Bitcoin song? The format, Oh, the format has changed a bit

on this iteration of the program, although we are going to be there is

going to be a podcast version completely separate from WM and H where we can

get get back into some of these these issues. Dave. But uh,

but but anything involving pizza, though, is is always of relevance on any

format of any show that I do, because, as I like to say,

and Jenny knows this, of course, it's my stomach's world. You

all just live in it. As long as the plan will be in the

future. In the future, what I'll do when I call, I'll just

call about pizza, and I'll tell you. I'll complain about how the government

is affected the price of pizza, and then I will tell you how freedom

is a solution. Still the wrong show as long as I have the freedom

to ingest pizza with pineapple. No, no pineapple, Dave, pineapple or

no, I believe and as pepperoni. We'll get Dave's opinion because Dave,

I think, uh, I think you're a somewhat reasonable man. But no,

we love you, Dave. You know that, but I do need

to know, uh, and this will affect how I feel about you as

a person. Pineapple or no pineapple, no pineapples wrong with you, all

right, Dave? Good with pine pepperino. I can't say it pepperino pepperoni,

As I often say, Dave, I'm not myself a religious man,

but I do believe pineapple on pizza is a sin against God. I firmly

believe that I'd still eat it. Oh God, really? Why it's pizza?

Yeah? Icy and sweet, it's heaste so good together, you know

what. You know, what's the worst thing about it to me is you

can't even like you can pick Sometimes, if you don't like a topping,

right, you can just pick it off and still eat it. And I've

done that. But with pineapple, you really can't because you pick it off

and it still leaves all this pineapple residue. It's so good and still taste.

It melts into the pepperoni, spicy, sweety, numbiness pineapple. But

you would still eat it. I feel like you're you're kind of, you

know, riding the fence there, David. You know, but that's all

right. But at least you at least you don't. You wouldn't go,

You wouldn't ask for it. If you were ordering pizza, you wouldn't ask

for pineapple though, correct, No, okay, But the salient point here

is that you know, in roughly twenty ten, when that when the first

person ever bought first bitcoin transaction, guy bought a pizza and it cost him

thousands of bitcoin. Now you can buy thousands of pizza with a bitcoin,

but over the same time, the federal government's currency has gone down in value.

Thousands of pizzas. I like the way you're thinking that might be a

bit much. I don't know. I think I got storage space for that.

I might get into the cryptocurrency if I can buy thousands of pizzas with

it. Did I have to roll you down the street? Ah, that's

true, it won't work. Yeah, that might not work. Am I

going to get you in the house? Yeah? Push you up the stage?

That's true? Maybe rolled back down on my head. Maybe just hundreds

of pizza. That'd be a good compromise, and my metabolism will abide that.

I think now I want pineapple and pepperoni pizza. No pineapple? Yes,

ninus? All right? Dave. Well, Dave, it is wonderful

to hear from you. Like I said, we don't there's certain things we

used to do on our afternoon drive show that we don't really do anymore.

This is more you know, we'd interview a lot of musicians and other creative

people and so forth, so we don't really get into the political stuff in

this format. But there will be another venue to do that separate. I

mean, this show will continue, of course, this will always be our

flagship, but we're also gonna do something separate online, and we will certainly

love to have you on for some discussions on that iteration of the program when

that happens at some point in the future. Good. Thanks, Yeah,

I was just waiting. I knew you're on Saturday mornings, and I just

waited to make sure you didn't have any guests before calling in. But I

was never able to find a point where you were talking to politics, so

I just yeah, I let me ahead and call. I hope that's all

right? Absolutely, no, Dave, you're you are always you are always

welcome to call us. We do enjoy hearing from you, absolutely, we

think. All right, Dave, Thanks for the call. Oh do you

want to plug the Ridley Report before you go report dot com. Very good,

All right, Dave, we'll talk to you soon. I'm sure.

Take care man, Okay, bye, all right, bye bye. Yeah.

I haven't heard from Dave Ridley in a long time. True. I'm

excited. Why because Jay said that really was a world premiere. Oh good,

good good, yeah, excellent, excellent, very happy love it.

I love the world premiere. That's a great track. It's really it's it's

just like three minutes of adrenaline, really really good, really good. Oh.

By the way, hello to a Mariam Bannish who has joined us in

the Facebook las chat, as well as Melanie la Liberte from the great state

of Vermont. Uh, if you would like to join us, uh six

O three two five O six seven. The studio line is open six O

three two five O six O seven. But yeah, we were just talking

about before Dave's caull this. Oh yes, you were going to tell us

where this started, something to do with DMX, this feud between Drake and

Kendrick Lamar. So I guess this all started. Really, it doesn't sound

like it started from something that was intended to be bad, in that there

was a guy named katot Okay who did like he fired off respectfully threatening a

barrage against the biggest rappers at the time. So he pretty much named everybody

j Cole, Big, kr It t Will and started to just kind of

taget everybody. But my understanding is it wasn't taken well. So he was

trying to So this guy, what's his name, Katot, he was trying

to get publicity. Yeah, I believe the young people call that clout chasing.

So there, well, there I was like a name mentioning slung shot

on Lamar's twenty thirteen Control, on which kay Dot fired this off. So

he guested on Lamar's and they fired off all these different names and made comments

and I don't it doesn't sound like it was intended to be anything hard,

but apparently that was the start. Drake took offense he was mentioned, and

they've been beefing bef ever since. Ever since. Well, what does that

have to do with Kendrick Lamar in DMX, I'm confused. So it was,

by the way, I would never do the cloud chase Lamar. Yeah,

it was Lamar's album and the song Control where ka Dot guested. I

guess, oh, and then he fired off a barrage and named a bunch

of people. So Kendrick Lamar gave Ka Dot the venue, right, they

were they collabed, Yeah, collab that is this this this track? Yes,

yes, and that started it all apparently, and apparently, uh,

somehow or another, DMX is involved in all of this, and I'm not

exactly This is like trying to read the script of a soap opera, not

even kidding, I'm not even remotely kidding, trying to follow this. There's

an article on vulture dot com if you want to look it up. It's

extensive. Okay, I mean this is extensive. I guess DMX at one

point hopped on a radio show that was called The Breakfast Club on Power one

oh five point one. Very familiar with it. That's a very successful show.

Yes, Charlemagne the God is the host, stand a couple other people.

So I guess on that interview, DJ Envy pressed d m X about,

you know, what was going on with Drake and Lamar, and I

guess DMX kind of shrugged his shoulders and said, uh, I don't like

anything about Drake. I don't like his Oh no, you know, boys,

I don't like what he talks about. I don't like his face,

I don't like the way he walks like nothing, I don't like his haircut.

I'm gona let me stop right there. Oh my goodness. Yeah DMX

he went in. I think they say that he went way wow. Yeah

wow. M hm. So that wasn't taken too well. Yeah yeah.

So then I guess when DJ DMX rather did another appearance. He went on

Woolywood and he told dj wu Kid that his issues with Drake ain't that serious

and then started telling a story about a girl who had gone on tour with

him, and then curiously decided against sturring Moore drama and kind of dropped the

subject. So there's a girl involved here. Of course, Doris, there's

always got to be a Yoko in there. So most people, I guess

thought that the interviews were kind of funny or fun Yeah. And then I

guess there were collabor continuing collaborations with Kendrick Lamar and Dmax, and I guess

Kendrick did something called poetic Justice, and somehow that gets involved in this.

I kind of lost with that. Some of this language. I'm trying to

skip around here, because let's just say that vulture doesn't cut out any bad

words. There are words we just cannot use in this venue. To use

the I'm trying to appeal to the French people. So oh my gosh,

this is just it's kind of hard to follow it all. So I guess

all right, so DMX. Both of the DMX interviews were hilarious enough for

rap fans with a sense of humor. DMX was legitimately funny now to appreciate

the sad boy being taken down a peg among those people. Kendrick Lamar,

despite collaborations in twenty eleven twenty twelve on Drake's Buried Live and Kendrick's Poetic Justice

Respectfully, Kendrick would pop in on the show and joyously tell the story of

first hearing Ex's breakfast club interview. After a long night on tour, Lamar

was woken up by his crew losing their minds. I'm wondering why these and

in the front of the bus just cracking up, hitting walls and stuff,

he said, swinging his arms. I'm like, dog, what the you

know you you know talking about? They muted the stop laughing, and I

just hear X going off on the laptop, just spassing. Yep, that

was it. After the moment, the two would never make music together again.

Oh my. Yeah. You know. The thing about it is and

people need to remember, you know, words, words can hurt. Now

they can also heal, but but they can hurt. And these guys have

been tossing words at each other apparently for twelve years, and they are artists,

and artists are very sensitive. It just goes and there's when more people,

asap gets involved in this, and then everybody's writing about everybody else.

Yeah, well how do you say it? It says a and then a

money sign and then ap, oh okay, I might be thinking of something.

That's why I was thinking it was a sad I might think, yeah,

yeah, yeah, okay, I know who you're talking about. The

thing is, I always wonder, you know, how much of this is

uh, how much of it is people being legitimately mad and how much of

it is people just trying to keep the beef going because the thing is and

and there are This is not only a hip hop of course, there are

other examples of this too, where sometimes if this conflict it it actually helps

everybody involved because it's you know, it's like like when you do a radio

show or a podcast and you have some sort of a feud, you know,

And I'm thinking of somebody's specific whose name we don't mention any more on

the show, but let's just say he's, you know, the guy from

New York. Yeah sometimes or or I'd like to get something out of my

conflict with Tom Gully, but he won't play with me like you. He

No, he despises me, Tom Gully, And it's all one way because

I have no problem with him, but he hates me anyway. But the

thing is, though, with these kinds of feuds, if you play it

right, everyone benefits because it creates entrist it creates buzz, it gets people

talking. It's it's you know, free publicity. So I always wonder,

like, especially like with Drake and Kendrick Lamar, like these are smart guys.

Are I cannot help? But wonder are either of them genuinely angry with

the other or do they just keep this going because it's actually good for them?

Like you said, you know, this is a big story, and

really all it is, it's just two guys and some other ancillary players who

are upset with each other. But are they really or are they just playing

the game, you know. Yeah, and then they just seem to like

to fire things off back and forth to each other in their song. So

there's always that crazy connection going on. But I wonder, if this has

been going on for twelve years, if they actually really don't like you know

what I mean? Yeah, I mean, it's possible fight with so many

for twelve years and not end up disliking them. You can't fake it for

that long, can you. I sure couldn't. I mean, I'm not

someone who holds grudges anyway, so it's hard to even imagine like holding on

especially because of something somebody says in a song or something you know, like

But but but then again, I mean I come at it from the standpoint

of I actually, as you know, I enjoy having a few haters.

It's fine. I think it's kind of fun, you know what I mean.

I've always had haters. I mean, I don't know, if you

got to you gotta lean into it. Melanie in the chat room says,

sure, words can hurt, but crowbars hurt more. That's what my That's

what my grandma used to say. Well, I hope there's no crowbars involved

in this beef. And Grandma didn't hit you with the crowbars. Yes,

that would be sounds bad. Frankly, that would be unacceptable. I would

say, I don't think, uh, I don't think, you know,

I wanted to be a peaceful world. I don't think anyone should be any

anybody with crowbars. Uh. To be honest, you know, I don't

even like you know, we're big wrestling fans, but I don't even like

when the you know, matches with weapons in them. I don't. I

don't like that very much. I like to see people wrestle, you know

what I mean. No, but but uh, but but this whole thing,

I mean, you know, it's it's helping both of them. I'm

sure it's it's generating interest. Well. The person of this that wrote the

Vultures article seems to think that it's like two worlds colliding. Has an interesting

way of describing them. He says, these guys at the top of the

mountain couldn't be on more different paths. Drake, if he came from dots

World, wouldn't have survived given his slinky backbone. While Drake believes that Kadot's

greatness is illegitimate because of how long he takes between albums. One is Abacrovi

and Fitch and boat Shoes. The other is white tank tops and Nike Cortes.

Neither are really putting it on for real, but it still clashes.

Hmmm, interesting way of writing that. Yes, I like that. Who

wrote the thought? Like? Well, Drake, Drake is very you know,

he's Canadian and he's very Uh I think he was. Was he on

Nickelodeon when he was a kid or something. Drake is Drake is very safe

he I think so something like that or or whatever the equivalent is in Canada.

I don't know. I hope I don't Butcher. This guy's name,

Tera con Love is a New York senior writer covers culture for Vulture. And

that's the writer who I like that ending. I like that, that imagery.

We've played Kendrick Lamar song when we were when we were on in afternoons,

we would play during Black History Month. There's uh, there's at least

one Kendrick Lamar song we would play. And I've always liked Kendrick Lamar.

I haven't listened to any Kendrick Lamar in a long time. Drake. I

can only think of one Drake song. I actually like although the one song

that I like, I like it a lot nice for what I've played that

on the show the radio edit, of course. Yeah, but that that

is catchy as hell. It's from like five or six years ago. But

now, which one do you think is more negative? I see, I

don't perceive either of them as being negative in terms of their messaging or how

they present themselves. No, well, no, I mean, do you

mean that we're talking about them dissing each other and their songs? Yeah,

so that's what I'm saying. Which one seems to go I don't know darker

or what. I don't know because I haven't listened to Uh, I'm just

learning about this particular beef, which is crazy because apparently, like I said,

this has been going on for years, twelve years, twelve years of

beef. You think it gets tired of fighting about each other? No,

like I said, though it's material, I mean, you always get the

other one, like like what it was something new to right? Yeah,

like I said, there's business reasons for uh, you know, and some

people never u some people never get tired of being mad at somebody, Like

I said, you know, again, I'm thinking about the guy from New

York. Yeah, you know he's gonna be He's gonna be mad at us

till the day he dies. You know. Oh, well, sounds like

once Drake gets into something, though, he doesn't like to let it go.

Yeah. Yeah, from what I'm seeing, because this article goes into

some more details but makes no makes a mention that when the d X drama

started, it went down a year before Drake suddenly brings it up again on

Vibe and starts talking about how he kind of messed with the rollout of his

twenty thirteen album Nothing Was the Same because it may have been Loudest Siren initiated

the Aubrey and the Dot cold war that Drake dropped. Quote the language on

the twenty thirteen NWTS, which came out of the gate with a sub at

K Dot. I don't know why they've been lying, but your s is

not that inspiring. Yeah. Later in the same verse, he goes into

f word any uh and well, we get talk in the we get the

idea. I mean, they say, let's just say cause I'm a motormouth

kid. They they say very mean things about each other. It's uh,

he says, been dissecting your motormouth till I break down the engine. This

ain't no warning shot. This is a revelant henchman. Ooh, I like

that. Actually see my opponent. Then cease your existence. Now, that's

that. Cease your existence. That's that's not too bad. I did not

like the rhyming lion with inspiring that. I felt that I felt was cheating

a little bit. I did not think that that flowed correctly, and I

I objected that it's all in where you put the emphasis. I know,

yes, you have to put the emphasis on the correct salabo, but uh

yeah I didn't. I didn't like that. But that last one there that

you read, No, that's that's good. That was pretty good. That's

good your motormount I like that. Yeah, this ain't no warning shot.

This is a revenue henchman. Yeah that that's that's the line. Like I

like that one, the one. I like that one. One. Yeah,

yeah, henchmen, that's good stuff. Yeah that's the sounding words.

H Yes. I don't see this ending any time soon. Sounds like these

guys are going to go back and forth until they stop writing. Well,

not necessarily eventually. Sometimes people may up like nas and jay Z, how

long were they how long were they beefing? They were beefing a long time.

And then, uh, I think Nas signed to Jay Z's record label

or management team or something. But he's a unique individual in that I noticed

that he actually going NAS's to me. He seems to go out of his

way to try and be positive at all times, even when I've seen him

in the face of something negative being said to him. He tends to little

No. No, No, that's a different guy. Oh wait, Little

nas X is a very very different guy. No, I'm talking about Nas

Nas Nash one of the best. Sorry, Okay, then I have no

clue what I'm saying anymore. Yeah, I don't know who Little nas X

just you know. I like him. Oh he's fine, he's happy.

He's controversial, but I don't even in the face of negativity, he flips

it. Yeah, I love it. No, Nas and jay Z had

a long standing feud, but then they had thought about the others. Then

they had some kind of they finally, if I remember correctly, it culminated

in a they had a public rat battle and they ended up shaking hands at

the end of it, and then they kind of just became friends. I

don't see these guys doing that, they probably will. Who knows, well,

VIA's a writing about each other, they've never sat down, it seems.

Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I think NAS and jay

Z probably feuded for more than twelve years. Yeah, it can happen.

Well, anything's possible. Yes, anything's possible. But if the answer is

what you say, and they're just really enjoying being attacking each other for the

fact of making money, then I don't see an end if that's the case.

Miriam in the chat room says anything can be a weapon. I just

read a news story about a woman who stabbed her husband with a ceramic squirrel

because he failed to bring home pizza. That's listen, as you know.

I'm passionate about pizza, But I don't think I would stab somebody over it.

Well maybe, if like I ordered it way and it came with pineapple,

I might. And the only one that makes you pizza. No you

talk about stabbing nobody. No, No, But I'm just saying if,

like, if I was having pizza delivered and the pizza guy brought me up

a pineapple pizza, I would probably take great. I don't think I would.

I'm not a violent person, but I would take great offense and I

might give him a certain talking to or at the very least glare at him

menacingly. Go ahead, No eat it by myself. Uh, pineapple on

pizza is nummy. Jay Bellow says, I always keep a ceramic squirrel in

my truck for protection. I think that's wise. I have a ceramic cat,

as you know, that I keep in the car, which doesn't sound

like it would do much, but according to the description on Amazon, it

does shoot out lasers. But I haven't tried it yet. Lasers come out

of its eyes. Really. Yeah, if you if you what what it's

supposed to do, is you you pat it. If in danger, right,

someone's approaching you, you start patting the ceramic cat. It begins to

vibrate because it's purring, and that is supposed to scare the person who's coming

towards you, and then if they continue to advance towards you, it automatically

shoots lasers from its eyes as it hisses. Oh yeah, it's very The

technology that is available is I mean, it's an amazing time to be alive,

is what I'm saying. Really, because you can do that kind of

thing. But I don't know if it actually works. It takes it takes

a couple of double A batteries and it's supposed to protect you. Yeah,

did they come in a pocket sized model? Uh? Do they make tea?

There's a kitten? You can get a ceramic kitty. I don't know.

That could be fun. Melanie law Liberty says, can you look at

the camera and glare menacingly so we know what you mean? Let's see while

for those of you watching on Facebook, I suppose I can try. See

what I do? Is I furrow my brow and uh, and then I

look menacing. I'll tell you what if I looked at a pizza guy the

way I just did at the camera, they'd probably just drop the pizza and

run away in fear. And I'd be stuck with this pizza that I don't

want. But at least I wouldn't have to tip them. You can get

me a rusty spotted cat because the only weigh between two and four pounds.

Yeah, why he carry that around? Oh and then if somebody upsets me,

you can scratch it right right, you like, just take out the

little pocket kitty. Whew. But how do you uh, how do you

get the cat to uh like, would you throw the cat at the person?

And because how would you get gentle squeezed? But how would you get

the cat to scratch them? Just a gentle squeeze, you know, and

then the cloths come out? Okay, train it, yeah, little squeeze,

And well you'd probably want to have some sort of a pole or something

that you could put the cat on. So you I'm on a dancing cat

on a pole, you know what I'm saying. I want to because then

you put the cat at the end of a pole and then you you swipe

at the person with the cat on the pole, and as their claws are

extended, it will scratch the other person because otherwise we're close combats. Well,

I was going to say, I mean, you know that person is

going to have to be pretty close for you to scratch them with the cat

that you're just holding the cat, you have to keep it close. Well,

but that how's that going to help you? So it's the last resort.

Okay, when they get close to you, then, right, so

that the gentle squeeze and the claws come out. So if you're being physically

mugged, you know that hopefully the cat comes out and scratches and the gentle

squeeze and yeah, so you would tell the you would tell the person approaching

you, I've got a I've got a kitten. Count Huh. I have

to go to India. That's where they have them. Yes, okay,

it's on the Indian subcontinent. Uh huh. The rusty spotted cattle two pounds.

I'd be afraid of. I'd be afraid of having a cat that was

really tiny. Why, well, just you know, they get caught in

furniture or something. I don't know. They have fallen into the couch cushions

and then you can't find them because they're so small. But if they're so

small, they can fall out the bottom and climb out. Well I suppose

that's true. See Rocky Huber joins the Sydney Facebook live chat, says big

fan Hello, Rocky. Miriam said there was also a news story on Stern

many years ago about a man using a frozen squirrel as a weapon. Squirrels

as weapons seems to be a theme she's finding here, which is interesting.

I've never heard of such a thing. Yeah, I mean, I know

you don't want to be bitten by one because they often carry disease. Yes,

yes, I've heard that. Well, we are already approaching the top

of the hour. But I will just say I hope that I hope that

Kendrick, Lamar and Drake can come to some sort of a daytime. Yeah,

but we'll see what happens. We'll see what the future brings. They

should go to India. Why they could go up to the Temple mountains with

the monks and they could teach him to chill and find peace together. Yeah.

I don't know if that'll help their art. And if it doesn't work,

they can pick up a kitty and they can scratch each other. Oh

my goodness, Now that's that's terrible. We don't want to encourage that.

He'll two birds with one stone. Uh oh no, now we're killing birds.

Oh well, yes, that's not good. That's not good to feed

the kitty. Birds like to kill I mean cats like to kill birds.

True, they're not me. That's why you don't. That's why if you

know, if you have a bird and you have a cat, you want

to make sure the bird is safe in the cage. Although I don't.

I could never bring a bird into our house because Prince would have lunch real

quick. I could never do it because I don't I don't understand. There's

something I've just never understood. Why. No offense to anyone who has a

pet bird. I don't know why that's okay to put a bird in a

cage. I genuinely don't know. I know, but domesticated to me,

it just seems so cruel that they can't fly. Yeah, they put a

bird in a cage. They can't fly. Of all the animals on earth,

to put in a cage a bird, doesn't that seem wrong? I

don't get it. I don't know why people think it's okay to do that.

I've never met them. To let them fly, because a lot of

times they clip their wings so they can't. I know. It is actually

pretty sad. That's awful. I don't get it. Again, no offense,

No offense to anyone who has birds. But why is that okay?

I don't know anyway, all right,
