what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you it is september 3rd

24 i'm trade that's mark how you doing mark good buddy um got a fun show we're talking

about a new new migra panic that's that they have apartments and walk around them kind of uh it's gonna be fun it's actually they this is one of those ones where it's hard to get to the bottom the reality of it because they've successfully muddied reality so much but we're gonna talk about that in a second um the uh before we get to the show a couple stories i want to talk about uh mark robinson our old buddy, Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, who's running for governor. It's super maggie guy.

He likes to quote Hitler, you know. He's a very maga-e black guy, right? He's a black

lieutenant governor of North Carolina who's super, super conservative in a very insane way.

Yeah, like he thinks people who get abortions to get the death penalty, even though he's openly admitted he paid for an abortion. So, but it got a fun new story. So apparently he used to be a regular little pervert like us. He liked to frequent porn shops. Yeah. The D.S. The story is a pretty hilarious because the guy who works in this, we'll get to this guy. His last name's Money. We'll call him Money. He was working his porn store and said that Robinson would come in five nights a week to watch porn in a video booth. He would watch two different... Now, do you know when this was? Oh, this was in the 90s and early 2000.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Because to me, it's like, you know, that's some real dedication, leaving the house to watch porn five nights a week. You know what I mean? But it was back then, but they still had, I mean, he had a VCR. He had VHS, I'm assuming. There must have been something more they had to offer. but I'm not at all surprised by this because my, you know, I grew up in my dad's video store in Salina and behind the curtain in the back. It was the horn section and it was, you know, frequented by, you know, deacons and Baptist and church or crap like that type of thing all the time. But it was was always like they couldn't go back there unless they were the only ones in the

store. You know what I mean? If they walk in the store and someone else, because it's a small town, everybody knows each other, they got to act like they're interested in the new Christian Slater movie or whatever, like they're just shooting the shit with my dad until the other person leaves. then they can go back to the back and bring out their real selections and get going.

So yeah, this makes sense to me. my dad until the other person leaves, then they can go back to the back and bring out their

real selections and get going. So yeah, this makes sense to me. But five nights a week is,

you know, that's a dedication. A lot of time to spend a pretty lonely guy. Whether it's

complicated Robbins' personal narrative is he's supposed to get super saved by Jesus in his 80s. So,

but so, so the economics of this are interesting. So it was $50 to rent to buy a video, buy, buy a VHS tape, but or we could preview it, get a preview of, for $8. That's what you do, dude, you do do two previews a night. He would, he would bring pizzas and hang out the porn store because he worked at a pizza place. Well, it's nice. He brought pizzas.

Yeah, bring pizza.

Yeah, right.

And he watches one first preview, then hang out for a couple hours and go watch the second preview for round two or whatever, right?

So other than saving money, there are other reasons you would watch videos in a booth at a porn store.

Because a lot of times, you know, there's holes between the, you know, stalls. Yeah, so we ain't have none of that. All we had was the tapes. But yeah, that's a whole other level. I mean, yeah, that's like a. Yeah. I don't know what he was getting into there. So anyway, so Monty said he sold bootleg tapes he'd bring in from New York because

you couldn't sell the really raunchy stuff in North Carolina. So he would bring bootleg
