Episode 85

American Groove - #85 Dijon Pretzel Jives

Man, next-level random. mind-fuckers n' amazing flavor combos. We start off vibing about meat sticks and mustard, no Dijon, or spicy brown? Then spiralling into this wild idea about what Jesus would be like in the modern world. Think of, Cheechified robes, Android phones, and definitely driving a beat-up Corolla. Trust us, when we say this most realistic depiction of modern day Jesus. Oh, and did we mention the Louis? Just your friendly pug reminder.

Then we hit warp speed into political conspiracies of course. Voting weirdness into the direction of French silk pie? It's like politics meets dessert, meets existential crisis! All rolled into one cosmic joint ready to be smoked, baby. Jive till you groove, light up, and let the chaos wash over you. Can't stress it, to say you’re gonna want to be here for the vibes. Peace n' nostalgia meets politics, oh yeah!

Well, true, but like Jesus in his like physical form, you know, like in his like Cheechified version.

01:25.39

Lost in the Groove Podcast

No, he'd be like a rebel, you know, he'd be like the rebel with like, yeah.

01:49.50

taylorswift

have a droid So he would have a phone like what if Jesus was so cool that he wouldn't have a phone Like even now like to me.

01:52.55

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Not even like a new Android.

02:00.69

taylorswift

I would be like yeah that Jesus is so cool.

02:02.50

Lost in the Groove Podcast

roid phone in that green like:

02:04.83

taylorswift

I

02:10.86

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Okay, it's got like a little fish in the back, right? Needs a little bit of paint work. But ah yeah, I mean like that would be kind of like a modern Jesus in physical form.

02:24.86

taylorswift

Like, do you think that our day and age could support a Jesus?

02:31.35

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Oh, hell no. Girl, have you met the people out there? Jesus fucking Christ. Half of those motherfuckers voted for Kamala Harris.

02:45.16

taylorswift

um

02:45.24

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Girl, I will call out woke motherfuckers whenever I want to.

02:48.92

taylorswift

My dog has joined the conversation. um If you hear me snorting, that would be my beautiful, beautiful, beautiful underappreciated pug.

02:51.81

Lost in the Groove Podcast

He has double chocolate muffin with a side of double chocolate.

03:03.06

taylorswift

Oh, he is just, he's not underappreciated by me by any means, but the world. should appreciate my pug as much as I do.

03:13.44

taylorswift

But anyways, I wish I could give more time and love to my pug, but he is right here with me now on my lap snorting. And he joined the conversation for a minute and he just wanted to say, I'm so happy.

03:27.86

taylorswift

Now my dog, won I'm so happy that bitch lost. That's why what my dog said.

03:33.98

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Amen.

03:37.13

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Amen. Listen, I mean, the people have spoken and the people have said what they have said. And I mean, in the days like, look, girl, you can have celebrities back you from today until tomorrow, but celebrities are not that practical when you got to face people like Putin because

03:58.00

taylorswift

Apparently she paid them.

03:58.71

Lost in the Groove Podcast

yeah

04:00.21

taylorswift

but She paid.

04:01.00

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, of course you pay. Do you think these people work with me? No! They come at a very expensive price. They come for the millions. And when you can't pay them, what do you think happens? They come after you. You know? Like, Trump had expenses, but A lot of his, you know, his performances and stuff paid for itself.

04:29.56

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You know, he didn't need people to go out and pay to vote for him. People were gonna vote for him regardless. Like, he got the shit in the bag.

04:39.03

taylorswift

Okay. So something very interesting that my dad told me about is that in, in 20, when was the last election?

04:40.37

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Sorry.

04:43.07

Lost in the Groove Podcast

ah

04:48.76

taylorswift

2020.

04:49.34

Lost in the Groove Podcast

2020.

04:50.33

taylorswift

then the one before that was:

04:52.42

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Mm-hmm.

04:53.37

taylorswift

Okay. So in:

05:00.90

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, it's awesome

05:01.19

taylorswift

So in. Yeah, and it's like the more I hear like, dyslexic people like say things, I'm like, Oh my God, that's something I experienced my whole life.

05:13.55

taylorswift

But my dad told me that this this election, there was 17 million votes missing.

05:16.09

Lost in the Groove Podcast

ah

05:24.04

taylorswift

And in:

05:28.60

taylorswift

s year. But if you go back to:

05:58.64

Lost in the Groove Podcast

So 17 mysterious votes just happened to pop out the last election.

06:05.97

taylorswift

alternative, both the time in:

06:06.11

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, me.

06:24.61

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Well, here's... Okay, here's the thing, though. Because um remember I that time that most people I knew didn't vote.

06:39.44

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I didn't vote. A lot of people didn't vote that year.

06:42.38

taylorswift

I didn't vote last time, but like that's when the 17 million showed up.

06:44.75

Lost in the Groove Podcast

That's what I'm saying, though. That's what I'm saying, though, is the fact that like a lot of people we knew didn't even vote. And then Biden wins by that amount.

06:56.66

taylorswift

It was bullshit, dude.

06:58.09

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Listen to me, hanky-panky.

06:59.48

taylorswift

And I'm not like claiming that. I'm just saying like to me, in my opinion, total bullshit.

07:02.91

Lost in the Groove Podcast

There's clear evidence of it now.

07:07.51

taylorswift

And so what should have happened is that the past four years should have been spent with Trump. And now we would actually get passed over to someone else. But instead we had four years of like fucked up ridiculousness.

07:22.98

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Craziness literally like And here's the thing too, okay, I have people with that talk to that have are afraid of the gay community and I have Literally and it's like look

07:25.37

taylorswift

Just a big-ass waste of time. And like... certain people have become. Some people are mean.

07:42.86

Lost in the Groove Podcast

ther the gay community of the:

07:48.87

taylorswift

Yeah.

07:49.87

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Where men could be men, women could be women. It's like, You want to put on a pair of fucking jeans and you want to wear flannel? Go right ahead. Don't shove your agenda down my goddamn throat. Like, that's all I'm asking. You know, it's like, don't put gay shit in schools around fucking six year olds. What the hell are you doing, man?

08:15.26

taylorswift

We need to focus on school.

08:17.96

Lost in the Groove Podcast

We really need to focus. Like we we we screw that ball up. I mean, holy shit.

08:23.69

taylorswift

I mean, they can talk about like we talked about like we talk about the reproductive system in fourth grade, you know, and they teach you that your body is going to grow and change and stuff.

08:32.62

Lost in the Groove Podcast

so

08:37.52

taylorswift

And like they should just kind of teach you that, you know, you might experience being attracted to something other than what people say.

08:48.60

Lost in the Groove Podcast

you figure out your sexuality when you're an adult, you know?

08:50.94

taylorswift

Yeah. And you just, but I'm saying like they could just tie it in with puberty and be like, some people are attracted to this. Some people are attracted to that.

09:01.23

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Let's be honest, when we were teenagers, all that shit taught us was figuring out what we like and what we don't like, okay? Like, literally, most, some people, such as myself, like, did not explore as much, but It doesn't really matter. Because our brains change as we get older. We process things better. And we're able to develop our sexualities. But like, I'll be honest, most of the people that I know that are trans, and like, are happy, happy people, they're not depressed and miserable, and our millions of SSRIs, they transition when they were in their 20s.

09:42.57

taylorswift

I just yeah, I feel like if someone is too young to understand the concept of sexuality, they're not going to understand the sexualities.

09:54.41

Lost in the Groove Podcast

and consequences of changing over if you want to.

09:58.62

taylorswift

Well, I mean, it takes a lot of effort to get that far.

10:02.27

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Oh, yeah, it is.

10:02.41

taylorswift

So I was more talking about, you know, just like the initial. But I what I've heard about transitioning

10:08.47

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Oh, yeah.

10:12.27

taylorswift

I mean, first off, everybody, that's your own decision. like and And I said, yeah, you you do you.

10:18.66

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You be you be you know, okay. You do boo. You do boo.

10:23.03

taylorswift

That's what it comes down to.

10:23.87

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You do boo.

10:25.28

taylorswift

You do you. And the thing is, is that that's what I'm talking about. You do you. You're not supposed to fit someone else's description of something. You don't have to be a certain something. When I was in high school, we had this and it was called Straight Edge.

10:44.77

taylorswift

And it had nothing to do with sexuality, but it was all about being cool. And there was a set like map of like how you were allowed to be straight edge and what made you qualify as straight edge. And what straight edge was, was just sober. That's how fucked up everybody was back then. That it was like, it was a trend to not be fucked up.

11:11.29

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It's the new normies.

11:14.12

taylorswift

And so the thing is, is people in societies and cultures and groups of people will always try and like set out like standards and descriptions of what it is that you have to be in order to be something.

11:30.03

taylorswift

um And the it's all bullshit.

11:30.84

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Or to be represented at something like almost to be a part of something, you know, like,

11:36.11

taylorswift

Like, you're not gay enough if you don't do this, you know? Like, you're not one of us if you don't.

11:40.40

Lost in the Groove Podcast

This this delusion let let me put this very honest this delusion of which We've gotten to a point where men such as myself are struggling because Let's be real with ourselves.

11:45.87

taylorswift

There's no gay enough, by the way.

11:58.65

Lost in the Groove Podcast

There are a lot of masculine gay men out there, you know in this oppression and boxing and like almost to a point where you can put somebody that may feel female but does not want to be transitioning over to be a trans woman. And then you put them through all of that craziness and insanity. And like in reality, they were going to grow up to just be a gay man. But you took that opportunity away from them because you made the fucking selfish decision at a young age to tell them, no, you need to transition.

12:39.36

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Like that's the fucked up shit that like drives me crazy. It's like can we Have we like forgotten all of men's rights because we've been fucking shit for thousands of years.

12:50.52

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I get that but And 21 to smoke this shit

12:51.91

taylorswift

I just feel like if you have to be 18 to get a tattoo Why why Why is it that we have to be 18 to get tattoos? Like what is the actual reasoning behind it?

13:09.91

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I mean, I would think like logically it makes sense when you're 18. You're starting to be an adult.

13:17.59

taylorswift

Okay, so then why are we not applying that to other things?

13:21.50

Lost in the Groove Podcast

i

13:21.89

taylorswift

that alter our bodies.

13:21.94

Lost in the Groove Podcast

yeah i You know what? I think that the thing that comes back to is who's making the money off of these things, right? If you have people that profit off of these surgeries, profit off of these medications, do you think these people are going to be merciful enough to say, no, we're going to stop making this and pushing this agenda in order to sacrifice our funds?

13:44.93

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Absolutely not. Why on earth would they say that to begin with?

13:49.22

taylorswift

because the US government is tied in with big farm.

13:49.24

Lost in the Groove Podcast

They

13:54.58

taylorswift

And so you think that that's the the whole catalyst of it all.

13:56.71

Lost in the Groove Podcast

oh Yeah That's what RFK is trying to blow up. He's trying to say enough is enough You know you have taken control of these people for way too many years and it has to reach a point where you have to say Enough is enough stop poisoning people stop lying to people the fact that I'll be open with this. My mom needs two hip replacements because doctors make too much money giving people such as my mom medication and also cortisone shots, which nobody tells you causes bone degradation.

14:38.00

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Okay, so These are things that even my own family personally suffers from Because of how much control big pharma has not only on the industry advertisement Also the doctors they're locked in they're fucking.

14:56.58

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Oh Yeah It is but

15:01.99

taylorswift

Yeah it's depressing as fuck.

15:07.29

Lost in the Groove Podcast

that's why you have somebody now like RFK the man that fucking cleaned up the Hudson River God bless that motherfucker and exposed Anthony Fauci for who he was and who he still is a horrid man that lied for years you know and it's like I you know what in a way maybe we should look forward to the next four years because

15:38.73

taylorswift

I just you know I still I hated that bitch and I definitely didn't want her as president but I still and don't hate me but I still don't trust him

15:53.26

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I don't. That's why when people asked me who I was voting for, I kept on telling them ah RFK, Elon Musk, and Tulsi Gabbard.

16:02.52

taylorswift

I mean, he's better, you know, than her, but like, I'll never, I don't like presidents.

16:06.23

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I don't really care. I don't

16:09.65

taylorswift

I don't like them.

16:10.65

Lost in the Groove Podcast

That's the thing, and that's what I'm trying to get at, too, is like, think about the cabinet, right? When you look at a cabinet such as Donald Trump is, he has Vivek Ramaswamy, he has J.D.

16:23.25

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Vance, okay? He has RFK, he has Tulsi Gabbard.

16:25.97

taylorswift

Ramaswabi is cool. He really is cool.

16:27.73

Lost in the Groove Podcast

He has some of the most progressive, open-minded, and they not all of them are, like, conservatives. Like, a lot of these are liberals, you know? They have the ability to change things.

16:41.02

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Tulsi has been a Congresswoman. She's a veteran. She understands these things.

16:47.12

taylorswift

How do you say, yeah, how do you say that man's name?

16:47.44

Lost in the Groove Podcast

U.S.

16:50.32

taylorswift

Raba Swami.

16:52.12

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Vivek Ramaswamy.

16:54.38

taylorswift

robbboway

16:55.64

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Ramaswamy.

16:57.16

taylorswift

ru Rama, Rama Swami.

16:57.43

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I think so. Ramaswamy. It's an Indian name.

17:01.22

taylorswift

That man could be president. ah Was he born here in America?

17:03.94

Lost in the Groove Podcast

He will be.

17:06.38

taylorswift

That man can, he was, yeah, absolutely incredible.

17:06.68

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Oh, brilliant. Brilliant.

17:12.96

taylorswift

To watch speak, watching that man speak,

17:15.90

Lost in the Groove Podcast

He breaks things down in the most beautiful way.

17:16.67

taylorswift

Like, Oh, he's an amazing speaker.

17:19.76

Lost in the Groove Podcast

And you hone in and you could actually understand his like deep way of thinking because he explains things.

17:24.42

taylorswift

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Really cool.

17:27.30

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Oh, just the way he explains.

17:28.90

taylorswift

Really incredible person.

17:28.98

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I explained things like shit, but he does a great job. Oh, it's amazing.

17:33.80

taylorswift

Yeah. He, when I first saw him, because he was part of who was considered to be the new candidate. Um, and when I first saw him, I was a little intimidated.

17:41.80

Lost in the Groove Podcast

ah yeah

17:46.25

taylorswift

Like I was like, Oh no, like he's going to give everybody a run for his money. Like he's, plus he's kind of pretty young and pretty.

17:53.02

Lost in the Groove Podcast

And he's young he would be he would actually be younger but if he was president he would have been younger than JFK because JFK is still to this date the youngest president that we ever had I

17:56.02

taylorswift

He can be president. Yeah.

18:07.01

taylorswift

He's still got a lot of time.

18:08.44

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, I mean, if JD Vance got elected too, he would also have been the youngest president.

18:09.34

taylorswift

Yeah.

18:14.90

Lost in the Groove Podcast

um

18:15.78

taylorswift

Isn't Vance Vice?

18:18.39

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, he's vice president. That's the thing is, if you think about it like Donald Trump's cabinet is better people than him. Okay, he chose people that outshine him.

18:29.45

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You have to think in a way like as shitty and as how narcissistic he has he is as an an individual, he has a team of people that actually care. Can you think of ah another time before of people that were a part of a cabinet? Remember, cabinet is like literally the fucking foundation.

18:52.58

Lost in the Groove Podcast

that is the next presidency, like you said. Who gives a shit about the president? It's the people that's under him that matters. Like, you know? So you gotta like gotta open up your eyes. You gotta to look into the picture.

19:08.15

taylorswift

so So what happens to her now? Where's she go?

19:12.25

Lost in the Groove Podcast

They might murder her or sell her to Epstein the Island. They'd probably just put her on Epstein's Island at this point.

19:17.09

taylorswift

It was really funny though. I was like, what does she do now? Do they give her a TV show? Like, she gets like a talk show.

19:25.03

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Oh God, no. She, no, she's cut. Like, honey, whoopee's done with her. Oprah's like, girl, bye.

19:32.88

taylorswift

That's so funny how no one wants to talk to her because she didn't win. We are so like shitty.

19:38.23

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It's over.

19:41.06

taylorswift

like You can't sit with us. like And everybody was like so like ready to be like, yeah, girl, you my new favorite thing forever.

19:50.20

Lost in the Groove Podcast

If you win,

19:50.28

taylorswift

And then it's like, bye.

19:52.49

Lost in the Groove Podcast

yeah But if you don't win it's over like you're done.

19:55.24

taylorswift

ah

19:59.00

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Here's the crazy It's crazy The thing that's why like I tell people it's like look Don't call yourself a Democrat or a Republican Okay, you can be a little bit of liberal.

19:59.04

taylorswift

That's how ridiculously replaceable she is. She is irrelevant, like...

20:14.67

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You could be a little bit conservative. You could be more One way you could be more the other doesn't really matter Don't put yourself in these boxes, cause let me tell you something. This is what you get out of the Democratic Party. Just fucking shit that came out of a 39 year old's fucking asshole. Just shit, bro. Like bad shit. Like this is, this is bad. You know, you can't erase this. This is all over the fucking internet. Like, ouch. And she owes money?

20:53.48

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Girl.

20:54.87

taylorswift

I just, I have to tell you that

20:55.33

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Girl.

20:58.88

taylorswift

Since:

21:09.89

taylorswift

Okay. like I'm a little concerned. Okay. So we've been on a downward spiral for quite some time. And there's been some peaks, like moments where it kind of went up, like, no doubt there were, there were a couple,

21:22.84

Lost in the Groove Podcast

:

21:27.93

taylorswift

For a minute, it was good. And then it bleh. And then Becca, bleh.

21:32.73

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, then:

21:34.32

taylorswift

And up again, blah. So downward spiral with a couple little ups. But to tell you the truth, I just always kind of assume things are going to suck from now on. And that like, if there's a scenario where you've got Trump versus Harris, I would assume that most likely Harris is going to win because that's the most shitty outcome in my opinion, because she's this like crazy court I love police officers.

22:05.01

taylorswift

Dick sucking bullshit. And like, no, I do not want somebody who convicts people of a hundred billion crimes. That is the exact opposite of who I'm looking for.

22:12.74

25:15.82

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It would be like a dream Okay, I would probably recommend something like this with like a hybrid like something that's like a hybrid indica. I'm serious like I feel like the Yeah

25:24.08

taylorswift

No, I would too. I would suggest that if I had any, yeah.

25:29.39

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Okay, I like this. Check it out. It's from Marie Callender's.

25:32.83

taylorswift

Oh damn, that stuff is so good. And like I said, Village Inn, Baker Square, Perkins.

25:38.21

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Okay. Okay.

25:40.04

taylorswift

If you get to choose, Baker Square is the best.

25:44.94

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Ooh.

25:46.63

taylorswift

I don't know where other people buy pie,

25:47.10

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Hey, we're not sponsored we're not sponsored, but ah definitely. So I did ah find that I was a little bit off the it's called the Iowa Amendment to it creates procedures for filing vaccine.

25:59.45

taylorswift

No.

26:00.29

Lost in the Groove Podcast

They can seize in top offices.

26:01.38

taylorswift

What does it mean?

26:03.67

Lost in the Groove Podcast

but Okay. Wait, this a proposed amendment to Iowa's constitution would state that when a governor dies or leaves office during his term,

26:15.21

Lost in the Groove Podcast

The lieutenant governor shall become governor. The new governor then could appoint someone to fill the vacancy in the lieutenant governor's office. Ready ready for this?

26:27.72

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Voting percent was 81% voted yes.

26:31.19

taylorswift

No.

26:31.67

Lost in the Groove Podcast

19% voted no.

26:34.03

taylorswift

No.

26:34.19

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Oh my god, you live in a dictatorship. It's a fucking dictatorship.

26:40.39

taylorswift

I hate our governor.

26:40.78

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Okay, so what that basically means is and so basically what this governor has done basically what this amendment has done is now this governor will appoint a lieutenant governor so when she dies they'll get elected and then that lieutenant governor will appoint somebody that they want to elect and the cycle will just continue and continue and continue so basically Iowa will never ever vote for another governor ever again they're stuck with Oh my god, I'm making you eat more pie.

27:11.83

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Holy shit um But the other but the other but the other amendment was not as bad um Iowa amendment one is prohibits non-citizens from voting Don't know I mean I

27:14.57

taylorswift

They're mad.

27:25.78

taylorswift

That's actually kind of mean, but I, but isn't that already the thing? Like, why did we have to do that? How were they voting before? How do you vote when you're not a citizen?

27:37.09

taylorswift

How do you pull that off?

27:38.42

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I don't know. It's an excellent question, but 75% which was over a million Iowans voted yes to this bill. So there's one good bill that got passed in Iowa.

27:52.04

taylorswift

I guess. I don't know. ah you It's funny. Brett said to me the other day, he was like, you know, back in the day, none of us would have been able to vote. Not me, not you, not nobody. None of us owned a land. We're all just peasants.

28:12.54

Lost in the Groove Podcast

oh right

28:14.10

taylorswift

And I was like, to be honest, like before it was like, all men could vote and women couldn't. it was like It was like even poor men were not allowed to vote.

28:26.13

taylorswift

Like at some point, someone got so mad that was like, hey, why can't the poor guys vote? And then it was like, yeah, let's let all the poor men vote because at least we can get their votes.

28:39.96

Lost in the Groove Podcast

It was...

28:40.09

taylorswift

And then they let all the poor men vote.

28:42.30

Lost in the Groove Podcast

wasn't like passed until like:

28:42.92

taylorswift

But before that, you had to be rich.

28:53.45

taylorswift

Man, was it that early? I feel like it was later.

28:56.09

Lost in the Groove Podcast

No, it was:

28:57.68

taylorswift

Oh, you know that for sure.

28:59.28

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Mm hmm. You want me to.

29:01.25

taylorswift

And that was because they, they did it in the UK and then it got pushed over here too, uh, after the UK succeeded.

29:04.70

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Mm hmm.

29:10.20

taylorswift

But even in the UK, it was only women that, uh, were married to a land owner that were allowed to vote. Um,

29:17.22

Lost in the Groove Podcast

ut I'm almost positive it was:

29:28.01

taylorswift

Nope.

29:31.19

taylorswift

That's cool.

29:32.28

Lost in the Groove Podcast

yeah Yeah.

29:33.78

taylorswift

Yeah, I don't know. And they, by that time they had already blocked out, you know, if you were a landowner or not. And so then all women were just like granted the right to vote. It didn't matter ah ah by the time we got our right to vote and

29:44.74

Lost in the Groove Podcast

it

29:48.05

Lost in the Groove Podcast

No.

29:49.42

taylorswift

I mean, I don't think that it should be withheld from me by any means, but I ain't going to do it. It's really funny. Like I didn't vote this year and like, I didn't really need to, and I'm not really registered in a any specific state.

30:05.13

taylorswift

And like, I don't know, but somebody was like, you know, they can see that you don't vote. And I was like, I was like,

30:14.58

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I mean, barely anybody votes these days. I mean, like, you saw how many people voted.

30:18.40

taylorswift

but What do you mean? Like, and what does that say?

30:20.11

Lost in the Groove Podcast

There was only, I think it was like 200 million people? Less. Something like, there were 74 and 74 on either side.

30:29.43

taylorswift

That I don't participate, like, I'm like, okay, like,

30:33.58

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Yeah, but you know something? It's like, here's the thing. There are gonna be people that are gonna be angry that, you know, the first, we haven't had a woman elect president. But at the same time,

30:45.26

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I think we need to focus on our wins and not at our losses. Like there's going to be a time and a place for everything.

30:53.54

taylorswift

I don't know. There's a part of me that like didn't want to vote for either one of them because I was afraid that they would make a master list of who they want to kill.

31:03.02

Lost in the Groove Podcast

I voted for the side again that had RFK, Tulsi, and Elon Musk because to me that is the most important. You know, for the

31:11.92

taylorswift

Elon Musk is a bad man.

31:14.16

Lost in the Groove Podcast

He's a very bad man, but guess what? He's a man that figured out how to get a rocket reused from space to come down and dock to a station. He will be the person that will be able to create possibly the first mines we have on the moon.

31:27.24

Lost in the Groove Podcast

You know, it's like...

31:30.24

Lost in the Groove Podcast

We we need to start using our other planets. Like, we gotta figure out how to mine shit, because guess what?

31:35.76

taylorswift

No, yeah, let's fuck up a whole universe.

31:36.13

Lost in the Groove Podcast

like No, like seriously, there are asteroids or like things that are floating out there that literally are covered to the brim in diamonds or aluminum like these are things that we have limited resources here on earth and we literally have a floating rock in space that we can just Yeah,

31:53.84

taylorswift

Yeah, all of our elements are out there.

31:57.41

Lost in the Groove Podcast

Lost in the Groove is my space to explore the real, raw, and unexpected. I started this podcast because I was tired of feeling like nothing ever changes. My therapist once suggested, I write letters to the government to express my frustrations. Then I thought, "Why not create a podcast instead?" Here, I can talk about what I want, with whoever I want, no matter their beliefs. For me, it's about having honest conversations,. Breaking down walls, and getting people to think beyond the surface.

I grew up in a blue-collar family in the suburbs outside New York City, raised as an Orthodox Jew. Leaving the religious community in 2017 was a pivotal moment for me. It allowed me to embrace my identity as an artist, and chart my own path. Who I am today, and what this podcast represents, is deeply tied to my journey. Leaving a community that was a cult; still is. Discovering authenticity, creativity, and independence in myself.

I’m a car enthusiast, an artist, and someone who thrives on creative expression. From old-school rap, and psychedelic rock. To vintage muscle cars and European classics. I’m all about the things that inspire passion.
My co-host, Karissa Andrews, joins me for American Groove. Our segment on stoner culture, and life’s weirder twists. She’s an incredibly talented makeup artist, aesthetician, and candle maker. She brings a spice, pizazz, and realness to every conversation.

This podcast isn’t about chasing fame or conforming to trends, it’s about the experience. I want listener, whether they’re driving home, cooking, or just unwinding. To feel like they’re part of something real. Lost in the Groove is my way of staying true to myself, while connecting with others. learning, and having fun along the way.
