[humming] Into this house we're born. Tom Pop-a-Ladies gentlemen, the Sultan of Sourdough. That's your nickname. I love that. I saw that this morning. Yeah, the Sultan of Sourdough. It's really badass. New York Times. They mentioned you in the New York Times. Oh yes, the New York Times. I talk about the New York Times. I keep my mouth closed when I say it. They're New York Times. I'm now friends with the New York Times because of doing your podcast. What is he like? Or is it a shoe? He's a great guy. He's the great old lady. Yeah, so when I was in New York I went with my daughter. They gave us a tour of the New York Times. They invited me to send any time you want to come. Because of the Sourdough? Because of the Sourdough? That's incredible. That's incredible. And because of they saw it on this show. That's incredible. Yeah. Wow. This show brings me riches. Dude, this show got an article written in the New York Times about sourdough bread and starters. That was absolutely fascinating though. It was. I had no idea. Yeah, that's the New World. I read an article today in the New York Times. It was so disappointing though. It was some woman wrote an article blaming the patriarchy on women drinking too much. Sexism on women drinking too much. I'm like, is this the fucking New York Times? Like, how desperado are they for ratings or for reading or sourdough starter in America's rising pet? There it is. Yeah, but there's a better picture than that though. I don't remember what it was there. There it is. Time. My little starter sitting on my counter. That's awesome. I was just stirring it up today. There's a fucking really disturbing article that I read in the Washington Post this morning. The news is getting fucking super wacky. Glenn Greenwald tweeted it. The Washington Post wrote an article about this settlement in Israel, settlement that Israel wants to not settle in in Israel that they want to bulldoze, and they called it a miserable town. A miserable town that, but Israel wants to bulldoze this miserable town, and they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Who fucking wrote this article? How did you write the language? I'm going to write a miserable article. You're dealing with dirt, poor people that are living in these horrible conditions, and they just decided to go with that as their title. Look at this title. Tell me, look at this. Israel wants to bulldog. Oh, they changed it. The ramshackle village. Oh, they changed it. Those fucks. But Europe is providing life support. Wow. They call it was miserable village this morning. Ramshackle sounds kind of cute. Ramshackle is still... It's like they're trying. Yeah, ramshackle is like, okay, if it's white people. If you're talking about white people that live in trailer parks, he's got a ramshackle trailer park. Yeah, corn cob pipe, and he hangs out and drinks from his jug at night. He's got a bunch of cars on blocks in the yard. It's old. It's not fancy, what it sure is, ramshackle. Yeah, that makes sense. But this morning, the title was miserable. Don't you feel that writing in all of journalism, it's all leveled out. Sometimes you read an article in the Huffington Post and they suck you into some article. And it's written by a high school journalism student. It's just sensational. It just goes like into three paragraphs in before it even comes out, like the heading. It's... And then you read some stuff in the New York Times or other places, and some of it's definitely much smarter. But some of it is a little opinionated, has these little things in it, and it's lazy. It seems like it's because there's such a rush. You can't spend as much time on stories. People get lazy and careless. Well, I also think that when people are at their best, they write about what they love. Like, if you read a really lazy article from a New York Times writer about something, maybe that guy would write an amazing article about handmade furniture. You know what I'm saying? Because maybe he's like really into handmade furniture. But there's a lot of articles that are people writing. They're just fucking just trying to get them done. Yeah, but the problem is that a lot of that's in like news. It's not, you know... Well, don't you feel that way about the news sometimes? Like, oh, enough. I just... I can't do
