Joe Hodgdon (0:40)

Well, hey there, welcome back to Legit Bat Podcast. I'm Joe, Jen is not with me tonight. Hey, you suck nicks! She does. And we're gonna do, so we haven't done a show in a couple weeks, and this isn't really a guest appearance or vice versa. It's Derek Stitt from Talking Stitt Podcast. Yeah, how's it going, buddy?

Derek Stitt (1:01)

What's up, brother?

Joe Hodgdon (1:03)

What's up, niggas? What's up, nigga?

Derek Stitt (1:05)

Crack a beer.

Joe Hodgdon (1:07)

This is gonna, yeah, this is gonna be kind of a swap, swapy swap cast on current events. Kind of something different. We usually don't cover a whole lot of that, but a lot of things has happened, especially in the last 24 to 48 hours. So we're gonna cover that. So for our audience, Derek, where can they find you?

Derek Stitt (1:23)

And you guys, you can find me on Spotify mostly because they're a little more free speech-esque. And so Talking Stitt Podcast, it's just Talking Stitt, but that's the name of the podcast. You can find me recently. I've been starting to upload picky choosy episodes on YouTube just because I kind of try to keep my show a little more like open, like just shoot from the, you know, shoot from the hip, Talking Stitt, crack a beer and just like dudes having a conversation. So whatever crazy things are going on or whatever crazy conspiracy, don't censor yourself. Just, you know, just be honest. But yeah, certain platforms don't like that. But long story short, you can find some episodes on YouTube. Most of them on Spotify, always.

Joe Hodgdon (2:08)

Nice. And I did want to mention out the top here for my close buddy and coworker and fellow or fellow listener of the show. Murph from the Tub Turkey Podcast. He'd be very interested to know that I'm wearing the shirt he got me today.

Derek Stitt (2:23)

Awesome. I've heard about that place.

Joe Hodgdon (2:27)

Yeah, it's my shirt just says Team Niger with 1G. Hard R, but only 1G. So it's OK. I'm always on the right team.

Derek Stitt (2:36)

Good old Tony from Niger.

Joe Hodgdon (2:38)

Yeah. And then for your audience, I'm Joe from Legit Bat, obviously. Usually we do the show with my wife, Jen, and my little brother, Ben, but he hasn't been on in like a year and a half. So I think he's officially off the team now. That's OK. We still love him sometimes.

We wanted to get in. Yeah, we wanted to get into the current shit. So where do you want to start? Do you want to start with the obvious, the Charlie Kirk, or did you want to go back, dial back a couple of weeks to the Ukrainian lady getting stabbed on the bus?

Derek Stitt (3:08)

I mean, honestly, they all really kind of go hand in hand together. And it is so weird that like we can start right now and then go backwards a little bit. If you want to think of it like that way, like we've been seeing this weird political climate structure being, you know, really snowball effect, domino effect lately. And not just lately, the past few years, honestly, but we're really seeing the idea of whether it's the left or, I mean, I'm not saying the right's doing shit, but whether it's the Luigi Mangione thing, whether it's, you know, people glorifying this shit. It's almost like reminiscent of, what's the fucking serial killer, Ted Bundy, you know?

And the girls all just swooning over Ted Bundy, and you're like, well, wait a minute, like, we've got this weird, like glorified, like Joker situation kind of going on in the country right now. And the Joker's cool, but I'm just meaning, like, there's a lot of shit going on. So with Charlie Kirk getting shot yesterday, that's kind of like our modern, I think we're similar age group. I'll be 36 next month. But dude, that's our modern, like, not just JFK, but slightly like a Martin Luther King kind of situation as well. What are your thoughts on that?

Joe Hodgdon (4:27)

I don't know. It's for people who aren't aware, if you haven't seen it all over your social media, like I do, because the algorithm knows that I like this current events type shit. Charlie Kirk is what they call a far right talk show host, Turning Point USA. He goes on campuses and basically debates lib-tarded, woke-tarded college kids about things like transgenderism and gun rights and all this stuff. And he really reminded me, I had no idea, not no idea, but I didn't really know who he was until I started looking him up yesterday, because I'm like, oh yeah, I recognize that face, but I don't follow him. I definitely disagree with him on a bunch of stuff, but that's neither here nor there. This shouldn't have happened and it's fucked up, but he reminds me of Alex Stine, and if nobody knows who Primetime Stine 99
