Yes. Indubitably. Sitting across from a fire crackling well. And drinking.

A libation. Fine, fine libations. We each have a pipe in our hands. Hmm.

We are sipping on the finest tobacco. The finest of pipe weeds. The finest pipe weed in the South Farthong. In the South Farthong.

The Farthings. So we hope you enjoy this week's this month's this episode of Charity and Jason Do Nothing. Are you going? Yeah, we're going now.

Yes. You positive again? Yeah. How'd you do that?

I pressed the point big pause. Is that what's going to be it? Yeah. That's going to be our intro.

All right. Well, that was our intro. Enjoy. Yes, your nose.

Hey, guys, we're back. And it's Valentine's Day themed. Yes or no. Hey, come and ask you.

Um, fast and loose. Fast and loose, loose lobes. Loose. Which hopefully we may or may not.

May or may not come about. We'll see. Tight. OK, so Valentine's Day themed.

Yes or no. OK. So hit me. Let me get these in order here.

I guess so. All right. So I'm going to say, yes, it's my favorite. It was my favorite like full time holiday.

Oh, OK. Yes. Because everybody got to make the little box. The little Valentine's Day box.

And sometimes we had like time set aside during school to work on them. Sometimes you make them at home. Either way was fun. Um, and then you could make Valentine's or you could like buy them from the store.

And you had to get a little class of registries. You knew everybody's name. And then, you know, you would make a special one for your special crush. For your BFF.

Or for the teacher. What if you were like me and you were a nerd. Oh, you know, this is my favorite. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wow. I also fucking love Valentine's Day candy. So because everything's red. So everything's cherry flavored.

So everything's the best. I wish you guys could see in that little best. It's true. OK.

All right. OK. So that's that's that. Moving on.

Have you ever had a blind date on Valentine's Day? I've never had a blind date period. Oh, well, well, that's what that will be. No, do you count meeting up with somebody from Tinder as a blind date?

Because I've done that a handful of times. Oh, a handful. Yeah. Is that a euphemism?

Yeah. That a lot has been wobbles. So you didn't answer my question. I guess I guess I don't know how often you're.

I do your chat with them a lot on that. I don't. I've never used it. It depended.

Some dudes was like, hey, hey, you want to meet up? Yep. And then we'd meet up. And other days was like other guys was like, we would talk on Tinder for like three or four days back and forth and like feel it out.

So kind of depended on how horny we were. I see. I can't believe I just said that. Gross.

It is a little gross. But did you ever do that on Valentine's Day? No. Are flowers a must for you on Valentine's Day?

Absolutely not. OK. I don't give a shit. I mean, I like flowers or I'll leave that.

So that'll segue into Valentine's Day in general. No. OK. Corporate holiday.

And again, I just said that I fucking love Valentine's Day candy. So I'd be real sad if it went away. But I don't. I can't do candy around.

Yeah. But I don't really give a shit about it. Like if my significant other wants to plan something and do something on Valentine's Day, I'm not against it. Right.

But I'm not. But if we don't, I'm like, OK, sweet. Right. Yeah.

If it's on a weekend, it might be different. But if it's on like a Wednesday night, like what Valentine's on a Wednesday, I'm going to give a shit. Just a Wednesday. It's fucking shitty ass Wednesday.

Yeah. No amount of fucking teddy bears and heart shaped boxers is going to make us a Wednesday any better dogs boxers get. So bad joke. All right.

Last is Valentine's Day just a vehicle for exclusion and ridicule in the public education. So leads the question is tied to the first one, which is, you know, this whole idea that you're getting giving kids getting gifts to each other or Valentine's, which are and I mean, I got some and stuff. But it was like, you see those kids that wouldn't get any of them. Yeah.

Fucking like, oh, yeah. Like you just setting up a fucking suicide pact. You know, it's like Jesus Christ. When I was in high school, you know, we stuff giving Valentine's, but my high school would offer that you could buy carnations.

And so I remember my freshman year. I didn't get a carnation from anyone. But my friends did and I was like, well, that's a fucking crack of shit. You sluts with your boyfriends.

I hate you. I want to be you. I hate you. But then I got carnations every other year.

So whatever. But I like it. Like, yeah, it made me feel bad. Yeah, like, you know, that's the thing, man.

It's like maybe it sets kids up for how fucking ruthless the real world is. Participation trophies get rid of them. That's fucking ridiculous, man. Anyway, so that those are my questions.

Those are my yes or no questions. They I had a little it's like, you can really knock all these out with one simple question, which is Valentine's Day in general. Yeah. So what else?

Yeah. What else? I got what you got for me. All right.

Valentine's Day. Yes or no? Coming at you. I'm there for the lingerie.

Yeah. I don't give a fuck about your like lingerie all day. And lingerie all day. Anyway, the reality is I've never been in a relationship where a significant other came to me on Valentine's Day and was like, pow, with new lingerie.

Never. That's sad. But I've never, anyway, I'm not going to I'm not going to lead in too much. It could be other questions.

They were small. Okay, but yeah, so I like, you know, lingerie looks great on the floor. Kind of how I feel about it. Yeah.

It's like, what is this? It's like a it's like the wrapper on the back half of a fruit roll up. It's like sometimes I just eat the whole but don't even know it's there. If you know what I'm saying.

I'm sure it'll pass. Yeah, it's like it was edible. Hell yeah. Hell yeah.

All right. Moving on. Moving right along couples getting engaged on Valentine's Day. No, thank God.

Thank God that we're cool. Oh, I hate it. I hate it. You know what that is.

That's basically just a woman that's going to have a guy's pair of nuts in a jar for the rest of his life. No fucking if any dude is coming out going, man, I cannot wait to get engaged on Valentine's Day. That guy has a picture of his mom in his wallet. I thought he meant a picture.

Like a picture of his mom. A picture of his mother. Yeah, he's wearing. He's letting somebody wear his balls as an act.

We got it. Yeah. That's some fucking bullshit right there. Yeah, barf.

Lady Gaga got engaged on Valentine's Day a couple years ago. And I was like, no, mother monster. Get out. But they got divorced or they didn't even get married.

So it's fine. That's all folks. She's back. OK.

We're in a meat sack. Hell yeah. Homemade coupon books as gifts. You know what I'm talking about?

Like homemade coupons. So sometimes you could make the little coupon book and sometimes I'm like, oh, fuck, dude. The coupon for one. I'll do the dishes or they could be like, oh, one.

Really? One. Oh, come on my face. You know, one I'll come on my face.

I would fucking spend that coupon to see any person on their own face. That takes skill and effort and timing. So the funny thing is, is I have had the coupon book gift, but it was my son on a like a fucking like on one of my birthdays or something. Was it a good room job?

It was. Yeah, I was. Man, a little tongue. No.

It was like, it was like, it was like, it was like, hug bucks or daddy bucks or something. It was like to do all these old things. And the funny thing is I forgot to spend. So little coupon books.

Well, it's a great idea and practice does not pan out folks. Nice. I'm writing down the word hug bucks. There you go.

I have no, not huh, bucks. Huh, bucks. Hug bucks. I have a thing on my phone of weird things that people have said and I just write down the like.

So they're all super out of context. There. It's awesome. I have a couple of.

Sorry. This is way off topic, but I have one from you on here that just does. How much gravy do I have? That's good.

This is a lot about me. Great. Because part of my life, I love gravy. OK, moving on, singing telegrams, you know, so I will say no with a caveat.

OK. I love the movie, Blazing Saddles. OK, who doesn't? And there's a scene in that where the guy comes in, Candy Graham from on go.

So maybe I'm talking about maybe I'm talking about a candy gram, not a telegram. Anyway, yeah, I've never I've never done the same telegram thing. I've never encountered it. Um, I think it'd be one of those things where I'd get one.

And I'd probably be at work and I'd be busy and wouldn't want to be bothered. Yeah. And some fucking dude would be like, well, I'm gonna be singing to you. Yeah, it's like fuck off.

Yeah. So as you can see, I'm just like, so are we at the end? No, I got one more. Yeah.

So I'll say singing telegram, yet. Can I just go ahead and say that you're not a Valentine's Day guy? Yeah, it's very much. Yeah.

We're all so Santa Claus. All of those read notes, except for one, maybe. OK, lingerie all day, any day, lingerie all day. Little kids give Valentine's all day.

All day. Yeah. Oh, OK. Last one for me is kind of dumb, but giving gifts on Valentine's Day.

We intentionally do not. OK. OK, both of us in our partnership, the wife and myself, really just like Valentine's Day. OK.

Because it's like this forced. It's so forced. Yeah. It's so forced and fake.

The people that expect something on Valentine's Day, I worry about them. Me too. Me too. Although I am going to get my boyfriend something around.

I'm sorry. What the fuck's wrong with you? I love him. Oh, my God.

Shut up. No. I love you. Oh, my God.

I hate that I like that I like want to get him something for Valentine's Day. Don't get him something for Valentine's Day. I'll give it to him the day after. Get him something.

Get him something for Valentine's Day. I will. It's Valentine's Day. I have a Valentine's Day.

No, get him whatever the fuck you want. Do whatever you want when you want, but don't do it. Well, I was going to get it for Christmas, but then I got lazy and poor. So it was going to be Christmas gift.

That's cool. I think you'd appreciate it. I hope I would. Now I want to tell you what it is.

We'll wait for the break. OK, OK. That's that's all I got. All right.

Well, so yeah, that's it. We hate Valentine's Day. We hate love everybody. My main thing is don't tell me when to love.

Yeah, don't tell me when to love. Yeah, I tell me when to love. I don't even do that. I love when it happens.

I love when it happens. Love it. Anyway, fucking we'll be back part three coming up, which is going to be. Suck of the show.

I'm going to show. Stick around. Oh, here we are. So I'm going to show.

Yeah. And this time for this segment, yes, we are flipping the script and we're not doing Valentine's Day songs because we hate Valentine's Day. Got it. Instead, we are celebrating Black History Month.

Yes. And we are going to talk about songs that incorporate that. Yeah. Hell yeah.

Love it. Love it. I mean, I'll just come out and say it before you. Well, we won't we wouldn't have any of the music that we like if it weren't for Black and Black influenced music.

Hell yeah. So cheers to you guys. So that's so there's a lot more to that a lot to unpack in that. But the truth is blues.

Anything that comes from it. Thank you. Oh, yeah. Hell yeah.

Yeah. All right. So you're going to you. So Charity, you're up first.

I'm up first. So tell me about your artist. Your song. Yeah.

Black History Month. Go. Yeah, my song. This episode is called Sweet Life and it is by Frank Ocean.

Oh, is he from Billy Ocean's kid? I don't think so. OK. He might be.

Ah, I don't know that much about him. OK. I do. I love it.

I love I love Frank Ocean. I don't listen to him a ton because he's one of those one of those people that when I do listen to him, it's just so fucking good that I can't listen to a lot of it at once. Yeah, it hurts too much. Yeah, it hurts too good.

But this song is called Sweet Life is by it's off of his 2012 album Channel Orange. And it's it's one of those songs that when you hear it like anywhere, it just sounds like butter in your ears. It's so so warm. It makes me feel like I'm on the beach.

It's so smooth. It's so good. Right. Just it's I mean, that's all there is to say about it.

Frank Ocean really rocks. He's he's just got such an incredible vocal tone to him. And I'm jealous. I wish I could sing a fraction of the way that you wish that you could be a wave on the ocean.

Yeah, vocal talents. Yeah. So like I really wish we could play these songs. I do too.

But goddamn fucking rules. Happy right infringement or whatever the fuck I can ask. Yeah. So go listen to Frank Ocean and the song is sweet life sweet life.

It's like three and a half minutes long. It's worth every second. Take the time. Pause it right now.

Pause the podcast right now. Yeah, on. We'll wait. I'm paused.

All right. Welcome back. I'm paused. I'm glad you took the time to do that.

Yes. Then you'll feel better for it and Billy or Frank Frankie. I want to apologize if you were not Billy Ocean's son, but I want you to know that's respect because Billy Ocean is the shit. Billy Ocean will care being queen or they'll get into my car.

Anyway. All right. Is it my turn? My time.

Yeah. I was going to look up if Billy Ocean and Frank Ocean related. Yeah, please do a fact check on that. If we had a producer, they'd be doing that right now, but we don't.

We don't got to do all this. Got to do all this really hard work ourselves, which is fucking really difficult. All right. So this was actually very hard.

No, not at all. OK. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Internet.

Now they got no relation. OK. They've just. Well, this Billy Ocean was from like, I think he was like, he was from the Caribbean.

I believe I'm going to stop talking because I don't know what I'm talking about. Cool. All right. So this was actually very challenging for me.

OK. There's been a few bands, in my opinion, that have been really important and not only just in music, but also because foundationally there, there's two bands in particular that contain all black members that performed music in a genre that was not traditionally black, black. And then there's a third band that I really liked that has a black singer that I heard him on the way home from working. I'm like, oh, maybe I can pick them, but no, I'm whole not.

But no. So so I'm going to I'm going to give two. I'm going to give one. I'm given one song, but I'm going to give two band names.

That's fine. So the song I picked is Cultipersonality by Living Color. Hell, yeah. Because I was a huge living color fan.

I guess I would say I still am a huge living color fan. But at that stage, there was no there was there was only like two bands really that have what living color was an all black hard rock, slightly light heavy metal band and that were fucking phenomenal. They were just really good. I saw them live several times, really enjoy it.

But I picked Cultipersonality because I really think it says a lot about where we're at currently in the world. Yeah. So that's why I picked that song. I love that song.

Hell yeah. Who doesn't? So politically, you know, it's very poignant, but living colors contribution to music in that era and being like proud of their heritage and being all black members and stuff. It really was really impressionable on me when I was growing up and listening to music.

Now on the same kind of token, I won't pick the song from this band. I have many songs I like from this band, but another band that was really important was called The Bad Brains. They were they were a parkour slash punk band that formed in the early late 70s, but predominantly kind of really hit in the early 80s, but they were all black and a black punk band from DC in the 80s is like what is going on. But they are like, I mean, they're kind of one of those bands that gets a lot of respect from people in the scene and the people in that.

Genre because of how influential they are, but they kind of always just kind of skirted around, you know, I mean, mainstream success. You're not going to have mainstream success in that kind of style, but you know, they kind of just never quite crested the way of like the Ramones or like those. Sure, sure. But they were like, they were amazing and they were really energetic and really awesome.

But but for the purposes of the song of the show, yes, cult of personality, I love it. I love it. Fucking speaking truth to power. Go listen to it right now.

Yeah, we'll go on pause for a second. Well, wait, nice. Welcome back. Yeah, I hope you enjoyed that.

Sweet as guitar solo by Vernon Reed. Vernon Reed. Great jazz guitars and metal guitar player. It played like some fucking insane number of notes per second.

Oh, just a minute. Yeah. Fucking shreds. So that's I'm going to spring one on you.

Oh, fuck. Just because I'm curious. OK. What's your favorite love song?

Since we're talking about it all times, they were talking about music. Favorite love song. Don't think just go. It's that I have to think.

I have to think. I have to think charity. Oh, fuck, man. I don't really know a lot of love songs.

Damn shame. OK, I'm just going to go with this because it popped in my head. I'm going to say open arms, but journey. Yeah, I mean, I know there are probably others that if I had some time to think through, but open arms by journey came in.

And the pathway I took was I went weirdly enough. I went immediately to the song called Sun, Sun Down or no, it's by Gordon Life Foot Sun Down. You better take care. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. For some reason, my brain went right there and then all of a sudden jumped to the movie Heavy Metal and open arms was in the middle. Oh, fun, fun leapfrog. What's your fucking go?

Something by the Beatles. Oh, that's good. Yeah. Real good.

Real good. George Harrison's best song on Abbey Road. Probably George Harrison. Me too.

Yeah. Yeah. Who's your who's your beetle? Probably George Harrison.

Right. Followed pretty closely by John Lennon. So not a Paul guy. I think he's pretentious.

I don't really like him. He does conno-talk like that. That was bad. Yeah.

Fuck Ringo though. Lucky Us Human being on planet Earth. Yeah. Shabby drummer.

Yeah. I fucking love that quote. Sorry, people. He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles.

Right. The Beatles. Yeah. So all right.

You're going to fucking say that. I'm going to say the song Bitch by Rolling Stones. Nice. I'm a Rolling Stones guy.

I left Beatles. Oh, well. I really I was a big, big, big guy and then I turned into a Rolling Stones guy. Yeah.

Me too. Me too. Once I grew up and I took a good, a long look at life and I was like, you know what? I'm a Stones girl.

When you realize life is full of cocaine and drugs. Yeah. You're like, that's why I want my music to be. Yeah.

There's a picture. It's one of my favorite pictures in all of history of I know it's crazy. Of Mick Jagger, super young and he's watching himself on TV. Oh, that'd be cool.

And it's a great it's blown up like really huge in the rock and roll Hall of Fame. And it is fucking it like made me cry. So that's what I want. I want to be there.

I want to watch myself with TV. It's weird. Yeah. I listen to myself do dumb podcasts.

So I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm fine. Yep. All right. So that was good.

We threw a little impromptu. You got more songs out of us this week. More songs. But we'll just say we're giving you that extra song because the last month we've yet ditched them.

So we were bullshit. So all right. Well, we'll be back to do a wrap up and maybe we record segment one. I'm fine.

It did see the little I'm fine. All right. That's it guys. That's how we're starting this.

This is the recap. So the recap is normally filled with like, you know, a lot of like, I don't know, recapping this and stuff. And Jason deleted the first part of our idea. I deleted part one.

So we don't even know what we talked about. So maybe what we can do is we'll try to recreate part one right now. OK. So I said something about loose lobes.

Loose lobes. Because we talk about how the holidays have just fucked us up. Yes. And you talked about how you run a cleanse.

I'm on a caffeine cleanse. I've gone three and a half days with no caffeine. And at first I wanted to die. I threw up at work because I was like going through withdrawals.

Yep. They're throw up. Yeah. They're so cool.

Oh, we talked about how it's not cool to be addicted. The coolest addiction is heroin. Yeah, it's like it sucks if you're like, yeah, I'm an addict. I've been, you know, I've been, you know, I'm struggling.

What do you do to do? Fucking everything. I keep my cup of coffee in the morning. Yeah, zag its reviews too.

Yeah. Yeah. So we talked about that. We talked about how we took a break and it was cool because we naturally took a break.

So we all kind of needed to. Yeah. But now we're back. We're ready.

We're we're in to go. We're we're in to go. Fuck. Fuck.

We talked about, I don't know, some other stuff. How you've been in the cave and how I had to go on a journey to find the cave. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. You were you went on a hero's quest here on Heroes Journey. Yes.

Yeah. And you've been on a vision. You were on a heroes journey and a vision quest. I am.

Yeah. You're fucking like an intrepid adventurer. I'm trying to be in school. Yeah.

You also said that you're fucking the inevitable crashes going. Oh, yeah. That was what. Fuck out of me.

But yeah, my inevitable crash because this time of year is always really busy. I have shows in February alone. I have eight shows. Jesus.

Yeah. Like all like in town. Are you going to the white? No, they're all in town.

So the last weekend, February, no, last weekend in January, I had two shows. The next week and I had two shows. I have a show this weekend and then I'm off the next weekend. But then the weekend after that, I have two more shows.

So many of six shows this month. There's there. Oh, no, I've got a private gig in the end of February. Oh, fucking whatever it's.

It's stressing me out and I'm trying not to get stressed out. Plus, I've got we've got all these different shows we were recording from podcast. But I know that this time last year I crashed really, really hard and it was really scary and I was like, really shitty to a bunch of people because I couldn't control my body and my emotions and I said to me, Dick's flying at me. And I only room in the mouth for one.

And I was like, one at a time. Cut. So I'm trying to be proactive. I do in the cleanse.

I feel pretty good Monday, Tuesday, fucking sucked today, like three, no yesterday, like 3 p.m. like 3 30. I was like, face plant on my desk dead, but I feel like I'm over the hump. I only took Advil twice today.

So we're good, but I'm going to, you know, I'm going to reward myself with a goddamn Diet Coke. That's better than a goddamn fucking like Red Bull or monsters, dong. I never drink monster. But dongerge.

Yeah, I never drank a monster, but I did a big Red Bull fan of a big bang energy fan. And bang has like the most. Don't do that. Oh, God, they're so good.

So anyway, that's what we talked about that kind of stuff. We're going to fake an intro here. So when the funny thing is when you get to the end of this, you're going to realize that the intro you heard is not the original intro. Yeah.

So enjoy that. So that's that's it. That's it for charity and Jason do nothing. February edition celebrating Black History Month Valentine's Day Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day Valentine's Day. And caucus we talked about caucuses a little bit. Cock asses we talked about your mom. Bye.
