0:00.0	Hey everybody! Hi guys, well from a little too hot Salt Lake City Utah. Thank God I'm atheist.
0:24.8	The podcast. I'm Frank Feldman and I'm Dan Beacher and coming up on the show today. Oh my god.
0:33.3	Dan, oh boy, we've got an enigma of a governor here in the state of Utah by the name of Spencer Cox.
0:40.6	Yeah. He's got, I think most people know that the West is in a historic level drought.
0:50.0	Yeah, it's not good here people. No, no, no, we are all going to die. Literally everyone west of the
0:56.7	Mississippi, we're going to die. I'm not sure it's gotten quite to that point yet. I'm pretty sure.
1:03.3	Spencer Cox is, he's throwing a Hail Mary to kind of try to. Yeah, he's got a solution you guys.
1:09.6	He's got a Hail Mary literally, but yeah, right? All right, but anyway, we're not Catholics here, Frank.
1:17.1	We don't do Hail Mary. I know. It's a bunch of art fathers. All right, before we get to that though,

2:17.6	forced him to sit in the middle of the gym and eat an entire pepperoni pizza in front of all the
2:23.1	other players. If he didn't do it, his status on the team was going to be in jeopardy and his
2:30.2	teammates would have had to run extra gels. Now, it took me a minute. I was like, Oh, pepperonis made
2:38.4	from pork. Yeah, which it's, it's not pork. It's pepperoni, right? Like, like, I've never
2:47.0	once in my life actually looked at the stuff and thought of what animal it could possibly come from.
2:52.4	Right. Because it probably doesn't actually come from an animal, right? For the most part,
2:57.6	it comes from pieces of animal. Anyway, the school board after hearing the
3:09.5	lamentations of very, very, very upset lawyer father of the young man. You picked the wrong
