This sounds good.
It sounds really good.
Haven't heard of music in a while.
Yeah, I know.
It kind of has a calming effect, doesn't it?
It does.
Makes me erect.
Huh.
Well, I don't have that feeling.
I don't have that reaction either.
Oh.
That's just me?
Yeah, just you.
You guys have a hard time getting erect?
Is that an H thing?
No, it's just a...
Fetishment?
Yeah, strange thing for you.
Yeah.
Fetish.
Yeah, this music gives you a boner.
That's a fetish.
I think erect covered it.
Okay.
Welcome everybody back to the podcast.
We were off last week.
We're going to be off next week too because you're gallivanting again, aren't you?
Gallivanting.
I'm very important.
I'm going to NYC.
Good luck.
Yeah.
Well, you know, it's supposed to not be too cold.
But it's funny.
You're taking the subway?
My wife wants me to like buy a trench coat and I'm like, okay, I don't need to buy a
trench coat.
You know?
Trench coat?
Yeah, because it's going to be cold.
Everybody walks around in downtown New York City.
Like the Matrix walk around?
Yeah, they got the trench coats.
Hey, are you throwing?
These scarves, trench coats, looking like nude.
You could flash people.
Oh, well, I hadn't thought of that.
Yeah.
That's kind of high.
That's what you do in New York.
That's a whole new...
It's going to be a nice leather one.
It brings a whole new incentive to getting the trench coat.
Yeah.
Is it going to be leather?
I'm not buying one.
And then you could line it with like fake Rolexes.
I guess I could.
There's endless opportunities.
Oh, imagine all the pockets you could put in there to bring a full assembly of...
Just bar...
Booze bottles?
Pocket of bar bottles.
A bunch of minis.
Of course, you'd weigh about 50 pounds.
Like 400 minis in my...
Oh, God.
It's all weighted down.
That'd be fantastic.
Yeah.
I'm dragging on the ground.
He's our mule.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'd like to see you drink a couple of these.
Why are you sweating so much?
It's five degrees outside.
You're sweating profusely.
My back.
Well, cool.
All right.
Dudes like us, it's February 23rd, 2023, and we're super excited because we haven't done
this in a long time.
And we've got...
We're just...
We're jam-packed with topics to talk about.
And unfortunately, we don't have a whole lot of outside of like...
I don't want to say political, but there's a lot of shit going on in the United States
right now.
Yeah, world events, right?
I want to talk about your experience last week.
Oh, yeah.
Well, that's definitely a dudes like us moment.
And you know what?
I want to talk about midlife, not necessarily midlife crisis, but the whole midlife thing
and how important it is to do shit as a dudes like us, because dudes like us are working
every single day.
You may not be living paycheck to paycheck, but you're living...
You have to get your paycheck to paycheck to pay for shit.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know a lot of people that could go without a job for an extended period of time.
I mean, I could...
That's called retirement, right?
Yeah.
I'm not ready for that.
There are some people that are fantastic.
I'm happy for you, but there are people that aren't and we're not.
And the thing is, is what I'm getting at is that there are a lot of folk out there that
like, well, I'm going to do this.
I'm going to do this.
Hell, we say it all the time.
Hey, let's go camp and let's do this.
It makes Jeff very irritated.
It does.
Because I sat up here and Ed and I was like, and we talk about it all the time.
I'm the one I'm editing now.
Yeah, we can't even go to the arena football game.
We're going to do the same topic.
That's like the easiest thing we can cross off the list.
But here's the thing.
Our midlife is...
People are...
Right now, the average lifespan is between 70 to 80 years old.
You think about it and we're like, oh, we're in our 50s right now.
Well, fuck.
We're past that midlife point.
And I never really thought of it like that until I watched some stupid video on Instagram.
You may have about 30 years left.
No, thanks.
Well, in my lineage, the average male life expectancy is 118.
Ooh.
I know we've talked about this.
I've got a lot of time.
Is that metric or imperial?
Years?
I'm not sure.
Is that by the Mayan calendar or the...
We already died by the Mayan calendar, didn't we?
In 2012.
Yeah.
Yes.
But I know we've had this discussion about, would you live to 118?
I say no.
I mean, it totally depends on your quality of life.
That's what I mean.
By the way, what would you want to live to 118?
If I could still get around, if I could still take care of myself and stuff like that.
I mean, how old is your pop?
He's 81.
So right now, he's on the cusp.
He'll be 81 in April, about a month from now.
Yeah, but we're going to have robotic exoskeletons, right?
Let's get that way.
We're going to be in like a Terminator suit and we're going to be able to walk around
and I mean, I'm being kind of somewhat serious.
I mean, at that point, people who are non-mobile are going to have a lot of options.
You know what's weird is I had a dream just last night about my dad and this is crazy.
So this stems from me driving past his house yesterday and not going by and feeling guilt
as I drove by the street.
I was like, I should stop by, but I had to go.
I had shit to do.
So, and I felt guilty about this.
The dream was like he was dying and he could live and it required medicine, but the medicine
was like, it was 10,000 a month.
It was some ridiculous like that.
You know, where it would be, yeah, it was something ridiculous.
Well, doesn't the military pay for that?
Well, it doesn't matter, but the cost of pocket incorporation.
Oh, that wasn't part of the dream.
But that's a real scenario where these old people.
It's all about the quality of life and how much you can afford.
If you've got deep pockets and you're wealthy, well, yeah, you can afford it.
You drink yourself into a pit.
You just fucking euthanize an Asian kid and you got a new liver.
You know, it's just crazy.
Well, you know what?
That's the reality of it.
You know, it is the reality.
If you have money, you can live for like George Storrs.
He's a walking fucking dinosaur.
Did you see him the other day where he couldn't do his speech?
I wanted to click on it and I mean, I clicked on it and it was spinning.
And so I never watched it.
It was just like, so he just had like a, he had a Biden moment for like 30 seconds.
Yeah.
Well, he's, he's not, I mean, what is he?
He's 80.
What is he?
I have no idea.
He looks like 200.
Yeah.
He looks like a fricking corpse.
Right.
New world order him and Klaus.
What was his name?
Schwab.
Yeah.
Klaus Schwab.
Do you see what he's wearing the other day?
Tunic.
He was a guy until the Elon Musk.
He's a rich mofo apparently.
Yeah.
And that was at the world government conference and Elon Musk was on the screen.
Oh man.
Elon was fantastic.
He totally shit all over him.
Yeah.
He was just kind of like, yeah, you know, the world or world, the new world orders, it's
not going to work.
It's a bad idea is what he said.
Yeah.
He goes, I know it's kind of ironic that I'm saying this at the world forum or the world
government forum, but it's a bad idea.
I'm against it.
Right.
And I guess all the people are like, you asshole.
Well, his logic was correct.
He goes, when societies fail.
There are other ones out there to pick up the slack.
Yeah.
Because if you have one big society and it dies, where does that knowledge go and what
happens?
Right.
No, that's it's an excellent point.
Right.
I was having a very.
Especially when they're changing the tech, the changing the, they're changing the rules.
They're changing the history.
You know, they're, they're cherry picking and changing history.
So when you die, it's like Donald Trump, for example, totally omitting him from everything.
Right.
Yeah, they write him out of every history book.
He won't even have, they'll, they'll be like a gap in the presidency.
And you have countries out there who will not go for this.
I'm, I won't go for it.
No.
But look at some of these countries in the middle East and, uh, you know, is, uh, does
Zimbabwe going to go for his Congo going to go for it?
Is Syria is Israel or all these people who have all these choice, who have all of these,
uh, well, sure they do.
What do you mean?
They do have a choice, but I'm not going to be part of that.
All of those countries depend on other countries to provide support.
There will be one way or the other.
There will be financial incentive.
If they don't join, they're not going to get a piece of the pie.
It's just like how the federal government.
What pie?
Well, how about penicillin?
Hey, guess what?
You fucking join or you get no penicillin.
Right?
Well, okay.
I'm Israel.
I'm going to do it myself.
I mean, look, I mean, look at the federal government.
Cobalt.
If you adopt, if you don't adopt this federal program in your state, we're no longer giving
you federal funding for your highways.
I mean, it's extortion.
It's so much.
It's extortion.
But imagine that extortion on a grand level and imagine that, you know, 80 years from
now, uh, we're still going to have, and we live in a different world.
You're still going to have countries.
I agree.
You're not going to say, okay, borders are gone.
We're all one big happy family.
They want because Israel, Palestine, Iran, Iraq, they're never going to get there.
You're right.
Unless you're taken over by somebody who we've tried in Afghanistan.
That didn't work.
They just, yeah, it's, it's like we resumed their business.
It's like a hydra.
30 minutes cut off one head.
Another one just populates it.
You know, it's, it's an ideology.
So unless you change the ideology, it's always going to be the same North Korea, South Korea.
Who's going to, who's going to give?
Well, yeah, probably nobody.
Well, you know, that's where, you know, I hate to say it, but you know, you just part
North Korea, probably just needs to melt.
Well, there's a lot of good people that live there.
They're at camps.
I'm just part.
A lot of good people.
All of them are good people.
They're just brainwashed.
Yeah.
Well, it's just, it's funny.
There's a George Soros is 92 years old.
Yeah.
There was a lady, his son is just as bad coming up behind him.
There's a, there's a lady that was from North Korea and the FBI had asked her to come and
talk about North Korea and they vetted her and she found out that she was a Trump supporter
and all this other stuff.
And then she, they, she basically, they basically canceled her to speak in front of them.
Doesn't surprise me.
Yeah.
So much the FBI itself with everything that's coming out, they're weaponized.
They are.
It's embarrassing.
That's so entrenched.
Well, that's so entrenched.
How do you, you're going to have to have some come in and clean house.
And I don't know how easy that is to do.
I don't, I actually don't think it's that difficult because most of that ideology stuff
is in the leadership.
Correct.
So you cut the head off of it and then you replace it with a new head, like a hydro,
like you were saying.
And because what I've heard, sorry, what I've heard is, you guys play footsies.
Yeah, I was.
Yeah.
I didn't want to stop.
But I hear the field agents, like the agent level, they're, they're disgusted just like
in the military.
Right.
And at the field level, they're like, they can't believe the bullshit that the Pentagon,
that the Pentagon is spouting.
That they've vetted a bunch of generals.
I mean, they literally planted left wing generals to get them up there to make these decisions.
Who did?
Obama, the Obama administration.
So can that be undone?
Can you go up to Mark Milley and say, all right, it's time for you to retire.
Well, they're not supposed to have.
Can a president do that?
I think they can dismiss generals, can't they?
They're the commander in chief.
Master in chief can, yeah.
Well, he's the commander in chief, yeah.
So can he go up and go, you're done, you're done and you're done, you retire?
I would think so.
And we're promoting ABCDNE to replace you.
I was actually hoping that Trump would do more of that, like in different agencies and
different government agencies.
Well, I know he focused on the courts.
Yeah, he did.
Oh, he did.
Yeah.
He had a ton of appointments there and we're seeing the fruits of that.
We are.
Right.
So it was some rational decisions.
Yeah, we are.
And you still get some stupid ones, but yeah, the military and the FBI.
CIA, I don't know.
They've always been kind of strange to me.
There should be no political anything.
I remember when the Brennan, was it John Brennan?
John Brennan, yeah.
CIA, right?
Is he CIA or FBI?
I thought it was CIA.
But anyway, so any of these guys that lead in generals and generals, especially generals,
when they retire and then suddenly they become a pundit on CNN.
Oh yeah.
I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, you were never, you were apolitical your whole life and you
should be that way now.
Right.
Right?
I'll tell you what, this past week, I'm sitting here drinking this, I'm really enjoying it
because I haven't drank.
I haven't drank because I had an issue last week.
With your butthole?
You had an issue with your butthole?
Is that what you said?
I think that's what he said.
You know, it was funny.
I laughed at myself.
I was laughing at myself when you were sending pictures of a side by side pictures of early
younger actor and older actor.
That's your picture of Paul in a button?
Yes you did.
That was a completely unprovoked attack.
I thought I'm provoked attack.
It was unwarranted.
Oh my God.
I was laughing so hard when I sent it.
Really?
Was it a picture of Paul in a butthole, wasn't it?
Yeah.
I was crying.
The context was bad surgeries, bad plastic surgeries.
We were showing what like, I don't know.
Befores and afters kind of a thing.
Before and after of all sorts of different actresses and actors.
Then Sean decides to send me a little bit younger.
I don't know where that picture is from.
Then a close up of a butthole.
It was clean.
A little sphincter.
Was it clean?
I didn't get a good look at it.
You didn't zoom in?
Look at the crevices?
No, I didn't.
Anyways, I haven't drank so this tastes really good.
You had some Saturday?
Yeah, well that's just it.
I had Saturday.
Yeah, you didn't want dry sockets so you told me I'm not drinking until Tuesday.
I was just scared.
I didn't want anything fucking with it because I've had some dry socket when I had my wisdom
teeth taken out.
It was uncomfortable.
It was almost as bad as having a bad tooth.
I'll tell you what.
I had to take off five days of work for a tooth and I'm telling you, it hurt so bad
I was on my hands and knees with my head under a fucking pillow on the couch.
It was unbearable.
And you're saying you were taking like acinametophen and ibuprofen and nothing was putting a dent
in it?
No, not at all.
It didn't do anything.
The anisol didn't help?
No, the ambisol no.
I used ambisol.
Well, that's what he, you know, because I was at the store when he got that.
I've tried some ambisol.
There was some other stuff too.
I don't even know what that is.
Ambisol is just like some.
It's like a topical.
Yeah, it's.
Oh, like a numbing agent.
Numbing, yes.
I got you.
Yeah.
It's more for like teeth that come that are, it's more for like kids that are teething.
You know, that.
That and cold sores.
Or a canker.
Yeah.
Yeah, really for cold sores, right?
But I, what's going on over there?
I don't know.
My dog's being a pain in the butt.
Yeah, lady's wanting some attention.
Yeah.
Well, whip your dick out.
I'm going to be like, why?
Why?
So anyways, uncomfortable.
I'll tell you what, I tried some other stuff too.
It seemed to work a little bit, even far better than the ambisol was, was clothes.
So I took some ground clothes and I pinched it and shoved it in there.
You know, believe it or not, it did work.
And then.
Why didn't you reschedule with a different dentist?
Cause he was like a week and a half or two weeks.
They made you pay in advance.
Oh.
Damn.
Don't you, so you have no dental insurance as part of your insurance?
No, I paid, they made me pay my deductible upfront.
Oh, right, right, right.
You know, I always said, I want that back.
I'm going somewhere else unless you can get me in right now.
Oh, I see.
You already paid them something.
You were kind of like, they were like to secure the date.
We need to get a payment up front.
I've never had that happen.
Well, no, I've never heard of that either.
You need to, uh, those guys are cool too.
I liked them.
They were nice, but it's just, it pissed me off because, because it took so long.
So long to get me in.
And then, you know, and then they closed down on Monday, you know, they're only open from
Monday to Thursday.
All right.
They're all Friday, Saturday, Sunday, whatever.
Great.
That's your business model role with it.
I don't give a fuck.
But Monday they close that fucking 11.
They open up and they close it alone.
Hey, sorry.
We're close the rest of the day.
I'm like, bitch.
And then they're like, well, you know, we all had stomach virus in the, in the, in the
location and I was just like, you don't want them working on you.
You don't have to throw up in your mouth.
I get it.
But at the same time, I'm just, you know, I'm uncomfortable.
I'm, I'm, I'm in so much pain.
Well, that's what I mean.
You should have gone somewhere else and said, I'm forfeiting my a hundred bucks.
I'm going somewhere else.
Well, you know what it is, it is at this point.
You know, I, I just, I fucking powered through it.
Yeah.
You survived.
I called Rob up and I guess I got his response.
Huh?
Yeah.
I don't, I don't think I have the right number.
I know that's, I, I sent you my contact.
Yeah.
I didn't just give you a wrong number.
It was literally the contact.
So it's him, but he never responded on.
Yeah.
That's odd.
That is odd.
Whatever.
I mean, maybe he saw it.
It was kind of like, I'll call him back.
And then he didn't call back.
I mean, that happens to me, right?
We all get busy.
Yeah.
Well, it was just fucking so on barrel.
I got that, uh, clove oil from you.
Yeah.
And, uh, even the clove oil, you take the clove oil.
It's got some sort of, um, starts with a, uh, astringent.
No.
That's what you're going with.
No, it's like, it's a Al Gerson and during or it's some chemical that they analgesic.
No acid.
It sounded kind of like that though.
But anyway, so you put a little bit on a, on a cotton ball or I used a Q-tip and then
you just kind of like stick it on the tooth and you buy it on it.
Did you jam it the hole?
There wasn't a hole there at the time.
Before the hole.
It was just, oh, you mean the tooth.
It was just put on the tooth.
It actually worked.
It, it is almost like the, the, one of the core ingredients to ambisol.
Surprisingly.
It felt the same.
It felt the same thing.
In fact, it permeated a little bit further.
I could feel it radiating through, but anyways, it was, it was a tough battle.
It's over with dudes like us out there, man.
I've got a bunch of feedback from people saying, yeah, I have you that one lady.
She was, oh yeah, I, I had a toothache.
It was worse than giving birth and I've had four kids.
And I was like, well, shit, I'm not telling that to my wife.
I would say that and kidney stones.
It's what I have heard.
I've had kidney stone.
It's terrible.
Yeah.
It's terrible.
Absolutely terrible.
Well, here's the good thing though.
Like you were like, I'm not drinking Saturday.
And so, and he did a really, I think he really stuck to it.
To what?
Seven?
I would say like when we walked in, I'm not drinking and then fast forward three hours,
a shot seven rolls by and, uh, I had, I don't know how many I had actually.
I may have had, I may have had seven, but here's the thing.
I wasn't drinking a drink.
I would just, I literally took it and slammed it so that it went on the right side of my
mouth.
Bypassed the hole?
That was the, the, the goal of it was to bypass it.
I didn't want to swish it and get down in there.
I wasn't really drinking.
I was just, you know, throwing it down my throat.
It was a beat down because everyone was having a good time and drinking and Paul's over there
and I'm like, I fucking hate you.
And he's like drinking his drink and I'm like, bring me a shot.
And that's what I was.
I drank a shot and I, I put it behind my glass cause Tara was sitting down in front of me
on a table.
She finally saw it.
But whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever.
She figured it out.
I haven't drank since then that night.
And you know, the tooth was extracted, I guess on Thursday and you know, he struggled with
it.
They, he said that he gave me like four times the amount of, of, of, whatever they put in
there.
He said, he gave me four times the amount and then they stick, they stick this mask
over your nose.
That's laughing gas.
Well, it, I'm a mouth breather.
You know, I, I couldn't breathe through my nose.
So it's just like all that gas.
I was, it was wasted gas.
You know, I mean, I probably, you're saying you weren't sucking it in.
I was trying my best, but it's, it's hard because I have a deviated septum.
And so they're, they're, they're fucked up.
It's like, you can't, you can't pull any air in through your nose.
It's very minimal.
You know, and that's why when my, my sleep apnea machine, I have to have a full mask
on, right?
You know, because I'm a mouth breather.
It's just what it is.
It is what it is.
So anyways, he, he, I felt all of it and he, he made a comment.
It was like, well, I'm sorry.
You were so uncomfortable during the whole thing.
I was like, yeah, it's just over with now.
But you know, he said, the good news is, is that the stuff I injected in you, because
I had to put so much, it's going to last for a day.
Yeah.
So, you know, you just like, like that, dude, it was tough man.
He grabbed my fucking face and he was, he was yanking on, he was like jerking around
and then, and then he was like, I got to cut the thing in half.
And so he cuts it in half and then it comes out.
One's out was like, bam.
And I felt this, Oh man, it's so weird when you hear it.
Oh gross.
It's a gross noise.
It's just like, and I was like, huh, felt a little suction and, and then, I mean, it's
like breaking a bone.
I mean, he said I'm all done.
Well done.
And then he, you know, stick some fucking gel in there.
Do they, do they stitch it at all?
No, no.
It is throw a little gauze down in there.
Let it clot.
I went, so they made me, they made me sit in the, they made me sit there for, I was
there for like maybe another additional 20 minutes.
Try to make sure it stopped bleeding.
Well, they want to make sure I was okay to drive.
Right.
Yeah.
Which is kind of weird anyways, cause I drove and plus I, I drove a scooter over there.
I drove a Preston scooter over there.
It's literally one minute, you know, from the front door of the dentist's office to
my driveway.
It was a scooter.
That's funny.
It was kind of fun, but all in all, an uncomfortable experience.
I'm glad that it's out right now.
The healing process has been a little bit slower than I had hoped.
They gave me 800 milligrams of ibuprofen and some coding stuff that I didn't take one single
one of those.
No, that's good.
I put it in my little gun safe and.
That's what I did with my surgery.
For a rainy day.
I took one thinking I needed it, but then I had to take any more after that.
The day of the surgery.
Yeah.
Shoulder surgery.
I don't know.
I enjoyed them.
I'm not going to lie.
No, that's why I didn't want to take them.
Cause I don't want to enjoy it.
Yeah.
They can be dangerous.
Really?
I mean, it gave me a peaceful feeling like.
Is it coding?
Mine was, yeah.
Oxycodone or with, with, yeah, with the other stuff in there.
Hydrocodone or.
Yeah.
Hydrocodone.
That's right.
Hydrocodone.
And I remember when I took it, I literally felt like I was hovering three inches off
the bed.
And it was the most peaceful feeling I've ever had.
That that shit wrecks people's lives.
Oh yeah.
Because they wanted, they, they chased that feeling.
Yeah.
I didn't take, I didn't take any.
And now that you say it, I kind of want to take one.
You know, but even like right now, um, it, uh, I've been, uh, every time I wake up in
the morning now, I take, I've been taking the ibuprofen three times a day, you know,
and it's supposed to be six hours in between them.
And today I've only taken one and I'll take one before I go to bed.
Right.
Uh, you know, I took one this morning and I'll take one when I go to bed.
Then I have to down to like two pills.
So hold on, when was your surgery again?
Thursday, one week from today.
Okay.
I'm surprised you still feel pain.
Um, yeah, it's still uncomfortable and it's not, dude, I'm having these phantom pains.
Right.
So it was probably so inflamed that it's still kind of a remnant of that maybe, you know,
cause it was your root that was exposed, right?
You had a hole in the side of your tooth.
Right?
Yeah.
It was right down the middle of it.
It was just, yeah.
So it's that root.
He took all of that.
So it's probably, well, dude's like, shit around.
It was kind of inflamed and you know, I'll tell you, and then cold, cold air or cold
water.
Oh dude, it was, but the nice cube on it.
You know, what's weird is that I went through so many different phases of, because it hurts
so bad.
Yeah.
I tried cold.
I tried hot, hot hurt like a motherfucker.
Interesting.
And then cold didn't hurt.
It's the point where I had to have a glass of water in front of me and I would take the
water.
I would swish it.
The cold water would literally, um, make all the pain go away briefly while the water was
in my mouth.
Right.
And then, and then I had to get it.
Then it started to stop.
It stopped working.
But so I had to get the water colder.
I started adding ice to it and then, and then it worked fine.
I went and took a shower and I had a whole, I had to have a glass of water with ice sitting
outside the shower.
Right.
Take a break, put it in my mouth because it would hurt profusely.
And then I swished with it.
And I told the doctor, the dentist, my experience and they were just like, that's odd.
You know, usually, you know, that doesn't happen, but it did.
And then eventually I had a, I just had a muscle through it.
Cause I'm like, I can't sit here cause I did for like an hour and a half.
And I'm like, dude, you, you gotta get through this because you can't sit here and swish
water for fucking two more days.
This is not a solution for the rest of your life.
Yeah.
Although drinking that amount of water is probably good.
Oh, I drink a lot of water.
The pain, the pain is not going to work.
That's it's over with.
Um, for dudes like us out there, my recommendation would be this.
Um, a lot of folks do not go to the dentist.
It's just a probabilities and statistically speaking, it just doesn't happen.
You, there are tons of people that just don't take the care or the time to make sure that
your teeth are okay.
Right.
My recommendation is do it.
Oh yeah.
Well, teeth health, if your teeth go sideways, it impacts your life.
It can, you know, bad.
The, the portal to your health, your whole health.
Well, I mean, and it's, think about it.
I mean, it's, it's, uh, it's exposed to everything.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like if something's going to get into your body through your mouth, through your teeth,
through your gums, like you, you got, when you floss and your gums are all bleeding because
you they're inflamed and you just not taking care of them.
I mean, that's, uh, you know, she gets in there.
Yeah.
So yeah, there was a time when I, when I first moved down here to Dallas that I didn't have
insurance.
Right.
And, uh, so I went like four or five years without seeing a doctor.
Oh boy.
And it's kind of like what Sean and dentist and dentist.
Right.
And, and, uh, but I was religious with the teeth, right?
I'd brush them.
I'd floss them and everything.
And I eventually went in and saw the dentist.
Uh, and, uh, probably after I met my wife and they, you know, got a real job and got
insurance, right?
Right.
And finally went in and, uh, I was like, yeah, I haven't seen the dentist in about five years.
He was like, really?
Like, well, you look really good for that.
I mean, there was other shit.
Yeah.
There was stuff that they needed to clean, clean, but he's like, he's like, you're,
you did a good job without being on the day.
Oh yeah.
Cause I'm sure they see people that are like, Oh yeah.
They have to get a jackhammer out, right?
Start knocking this shit off.
All that tartar and all that shit.
For sure.
And some people are more prone to that kind of stuff than others.
You know what I mean?
Like there are some people that floss and brush and it doesn't matter.
They just have shitty teeth.
Right.
Bad genetics.
Yeah.
I think, uh, I think my father-in-law has some bad teeth.
He's, he's had some troubles ever since I've known him as far as he's had crowns, teeth
pulled, all that yards.
That's me.
I got two implants.
I got a bridge across the bottom.
I had some, it was crazy.
I had so many gum graphs and, and, and just, just shit.
Well, it's awful.
And I didn't floss for the longest time.
And ever since I went through all of that crap, I was like, I'm not letting the rest
of them go through this experience.
My other two teeth.
I floss religiously every night.
Right.
Religiously.
It's a pain in the ass.
Right.
And, uh, but it's something that you need to do.
I think it's worth it.
It's hard to get the kids in that routine.
But once you're in the routine, um, you're in the routine.
Yeah.
My, well, and I want my kids, my kids, guys, you have my teeth, man.
Take care of them.
Now you, you, you, it's, you, it's, you're going to benefit.
Really going to benefit.
Right.
And, uh, nope, they don't.
Well, I tell, I tell both my boys because I think me lifting such heavy weights when
I was their age caused my shoulders to just bad.
I got terrible shoulders right now.
And yeah, and you're, you're oldest son, he, he lifts weights like crazy.
Doesn't both of them do both of them do both of them.
Yeah.
I mean, Brandon, you know, he played football for years and he's got other knee issues,
but to the shoulders, I tell him, I'm like, you know, be careful because especially certain
exercises, I was like, I think it's this exercise that, that I did, uh, that caused it.
And I tell him, I was like, make sure you don't do it.
And, you know, just be prepared that you're lifted heavy weights and there's a toll on
the body when you do that.
Oh, for sure.
Right.
And, uh, just be prepared that when you're 40, 50, you may have to have shorter surgery.
It doesn't help that most of them have never been taught proper form.
That's a big part of it too, man.
It is.
It's a big part of it.
It is man.
This purple is good.
I know we've had it before.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
We've, we've had this before.
We're, we're going back through recycling through what we decide.
What we do is we cycle through an old one and then we, we tap a new one, tap a new one.
Yeah.
So this one we're opening with Sweetens Cove.
Sweetens Cove and it's Tennessee, right?
So it's this whole, we're not fighting anymore between Tennessee and Kentucky.
Yes.
It's called Tennessee.
Uh, and Mr. Producer, if you don't want putting that back up, I think it's 90 proof.
110.
Oh, this one's 110?
Oh, we're opening.
That's right.
We're opening with a high octane.
Right.
Very nice.
So this one's 110 and it's a, well, they called a whiskey.
It's a Kentucky and Tennessee.
Well, it says bourbon whiskeys.
So this is a bourbon.
So yeah, I stand corrected.
Well, he's got a lot of ice in that.
It sure does.
In that picture, that glass right there.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's great.
It's a good one.
We've, like I said, we've tried it before.
And I highly recommend it.
Sweetens Cove, Tennessee, Kentucky, Kentucky and Tennessee.
Kentucky bourbon whiskeys is the blend, obviously.
Right.
And it's good.
It's really good.
I don't think that's real ice.
They don't have to be.
It doesn't have to be realized.
It's probably like acrylic or something.
Yeah.
Because when I was in college, frozen, like frozen when I was in college, I, uh, I was
in media, right?
I was taking a lot of media classes and one of them was commercials.
And the laws that are written is, and they changed this.
It used to not be like this because they used to be able to show fake 100% everything.
And they changed the laws way back when.
So everything could have been fake.
Even the burger that you're looking at could have been something else.
I was going to follow up with that.
So now close ups where it's like steamy and all sorts of, you know, not real.
Whatever you not.
Well, that's been a long time since that.
Cause when I was in college, it was in the late eighties, early nineties.
So the law was before that.
So now whatever you're advertising has to be real.
I did not know that.
So, but if you're advertising cereal, the milk can be whatever you want it to be.
Right.
It can be almond milk.
It can be just Elmer's glue and water.
Right.
Cause they want, they want, you know, the right picture where the drop and the viscosity
and all that stuff.
Right.
So, I mean, so they were still able to pull off the, the, the very appetizing looking
steamy burger.
Right.
Well, that's good.
Right.
Well, that's real.
Right.
Of course it's, it's all stained.
Why they didn't do that from the get go.
They didn't make a fake burger.
Maybe it looked better back then.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know either.
But, but now it's, if, if you're advertising the burger, it's gotta be real, but the French
fries next to it don't have to be right.
Or the soda pop or whatever.
Right.
So whatever, whatever you are advertising, it has to be real, but the stuff around it
does not have to be.
Right.
I got you.
Oh, he's a producer.
Oh, well yeah.
I mean, showing different things that are, uh, that are commercials of like desserts
and stuff.
And this is how they make it look, look real on TV.
Yeah.
So there's all kinds of tricks.
Oh yeah.
And I get it.
But I mean, usually when they're filming these commercials, they got, you know, if, if they
have a steaming, a real steaming burger, I mean, they got, they got limited time they're
working with.
Right.
And they're taking a million pictures and a million cuts and a million, you know, different
angles and all this kind of stuff.
Anyway, it's very interesting.
And is that they're showing a video, they took a torch and burned a chicken leg and
it was kind of tightened up a little bit.
They're just all this fake stuff they do to make food look better than it actually is.
You know, and some of it's kind of bullshit because when you look at an advertisement,
let's say for example, like McDonald's and you look at a big ass Big Mac burger and you
look at the picture of it and then you get the one out of the box.
You're looking at it like the hell man.
Right.
This thing's like an inch tall.
You look at the advertisement, it looks like it's a four inch tall sandwich.
Right.
And you get this like fucking little grilled cheese thing.
Right.
Now this is crazy.
These videos they're showing.
All right.
So, um, so there was a conversation.
It's mesmerizing.
We try not to.
So there's a conversations of the Pennsylvania senators.
What?
Currently, the senators in the state of Pennsylvania, you have, uh, you've got John Fetterman.
Oh, he's in the hospital.
He just went to the, um, the depression ward.
He has clinical depression.
Yeah.
What a mess.
And did you know that that is a common side effect after a stroke?
Well, because you realize I have what I am.
I'm not going to get better.
Probably.
It's probably a realization.
Right?
And I don't, I don't know if it's that or it's simply, you know, you know, there's a
massive change in your brain and the neuro and the neurotransmitters and the serotonin
and the dopamine get, get off balance.
And he's got to basically have chemically balanced chemically based that needs to, you
know, when he can't reach it, you know, so he has to have stuff read to him, you know,
and he, yeah.
And he beat, uh, Oz.
He needs to, how, how, at this point he needs to step down.
And he won't.
Somebody gets, oh, I know he won't, but he literally should have dropped out of the race.
He should have.
My point by bringing this up is that, you know, they, so you have a, the Senator from
Pennsylvania, uh, John Fetterman.
All right.
So he's, he's out of pocket right now, so he can't go to the Senate and vote.
Right.
Then you have the other Senator, Bob Casey.
Now, Bob Casey is currently out of pocket as well.
He, um, he's got prostate cancer in Pennsylvania.
Wow.
So you've got two Senate, two Senator seats.
Are the Republicans going to get the, get the Senate back?
No.
Well, no, it's not necessarily that, but if you, if they have something that comes up
to vote, those two seats can't vote.
Are you sure?
How do they handle that?
I think they proxied it.
I know McCarthy took away the proxy, but did the Senate take away the proxy?
Yeah.
I think somebody can vote on their behalf.
Correct.
Who?
Another Senator.
Another Senator, yeah.
You say, just like at the HOA, I give you my vote, my proxy.
Right.
I know McCarthy said if he has it already done, he says he's going to remove proxy voting
and says you need to be in person to do your job.
Absolutely.
Right.
Absolutely.
So crazy.
Schumer most likely has not done that.
Right.
Well, and that came up because of COVID, right?
Right.
That was Nancy and Nancy.
Well, I, I get it.
I mean, I, I, I understand it during COVID, but we're past COVID.
We're past COVID.
Come, you, you work how many days out of the year as a Senator?
A Congressman.
No, no, you, you, you ran, you, you know, you were elected.
There's constituents that are, that sent you to Washington to do a job.
Right.
100%.
Right.
So you show up in person and you do your shit.
Correct.
So it says, can Senators vote if not present?
Google says under Senate rule six, paragraph two, Senators are required to attend all sessions
of the Senate unless they're excused.
The Senate operates on the assumption that a quorum is present regardless of how few
or how many are in attendance.
It operates, it assumes there is a quorum regardless of who's there.
Okay.
So in other words, they can meet no matter if nobody shows up.
Correct.
Remember, you can't open a meeting unless you have a quorum.
Correct.
So it says who could be a proxy holder?
Proxy holder means a member who is authorized for a proxy grantor to vote on behalf of the
proxy grantor at a general meeting.
All right.
So it gets a little convoluted there, but you know, I heard something today.
I guess it was just pogwash.
You always hear something.
I'm so sick.
You can't believe anything you fucking hear.
That's why I question everything.
I know.
I know I give you a hard time, but show me proof.
You're like, that's not real.
It's a car crash.
You're not going to believe this.
It's not real.
Show me proof and then I'll believe it because there are so many ways that, we heard earlier,
the voices on the game sounds like Biden and Trump.
Right.
Exactly.
And it was just two guys playing a video game.
What are they?
Voice coding.
Well, hold on.
So yeah, they're so also had brought this up where they do.
So what is it?
Elon Musk had come up with this technology where he could fire people and use different
people's voices.
And he uses Trump's voice to fire them.
Hey, John Sanders, you are fired.
You're fired.
Yeah.
And they use the same technology here.
So Mr. Producer, he'll play.
Well, maybe if you guys weren't always spamming stupid ass memes, I'd be able to see when
you actually message about something important.
Dude, this fucking spider won't die.
Bro, it's not that hard.
What the fuck?
There's fucking two of them.
Oh my God, I'm cornered.
Where the fuck are you guys?
Dude, just build a wall.
That's what you're good at.
Holy fuck.
Oh shit.
Fuck.
So obviously they're playing.
What did I miss?
These are guys that are video playing a video game.
Were you seriously taking a shit for a whole hour?
Yeah, man.
It was definitely the Taco Bell.
Bro, that shit's fire.
I had it last night.
The new grilled cheese burrito smacks.
Hillary, sorry to break the news to you.
Amazing.
I had your enchanted bow on me when I died.
Seriously, bro.
I didn't even give you permission to go through my stuff.
Well, I don't really give a fuck.
I'm getting off.
That is amazing.
That's funny, man.
That's why I don't believe it.
And just Photoshop these days, right?
You can't believe anything.
So much deep fake stuff going on here.
You really can't.
Oh, for sure.
I mean, gosh, if they allow that to happen in Hollywood, they'll make movies with no
actors.
Well, if you look, if you remember the movie The Irishman, right?
They kind of introduced the younger, right?
And they're doing that in the new Indiana Jones.
Oh, for Harrison Ford?
Well, there's flashbacks, he's 80.
So flashbacks of when he was 40, maybe.
I don't know.
But also, then you have the new Star Wars movies where you have Princess Leia, which
was done very poorly.
But Grand Moff Tarkin looked pretty good, right?
It's a growing technology, but they're getting better at it.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
And there's still that emptiness in their eyes.
And Luke Skywalker, Luke Skywalker on The Mandalorian.
Yeah, that looked pretty good.
He was fake.
That wasn't him.
Yeah, I never.
Obviously, here's.
I only watched like two or three episodes of The Mandalorian.
Yeah.
How dare you?
I know.
I want to go back and watch it.
It's good.
You know what?
There's more.
They got the Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Have you seen that one?
Oh my God.
Yeah, I haven't watched anything on Disney Plus.
That is ridiculous.
I mean, if, well, I mean, first of all, you don't like Star Wars.
I mean.
Oh, I do.
I love Star Wars.
Well, evidently you don't.
No, I do.
I just.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You just prioritize a few things.
Well, it just hasn't gotten on my radar, honestly.
Oh.
My wife does not like Star Wars and we watch most everything together.
And so she said she doesn't like Star Wars.
So it's just it's not on my radar.
So on nights that I, you know, she's off doing whatever.
Well, don't tell her it's Star Wars.
Well, the open on scenes.
I'm pretty sure she'll figure it out.
Really, Paul?
This is a lot like Star Wars.
It's not, honey.
Just don't believe what you're seeing.
Just power through it.
That's a deep fake.
It's a deep fake.
It's actually like one of those British aristocratic shows.
Especially Paul Dark.
Yeah.
Well, speaking of deep fakes and the video games they're playing there earlier, you mentioned
something about SimCity 4 coming out where they had some extra.
Yeah, the new SimCity 4 or SimFors or whatever they call it.
I've never played it.
I know, Paul, you're a huge fan of this.
I have this.
I have it.
And they have.
Huge fan.
They're the authority on it.
Yeah, they have.
Transgender mod.
Yes.
So you can.
Very inclusive.
Yes.
So now you can get you could be a transgender in The Sims and also and have your mastectomy
scars.
Excellent.
So you can take your boobs off your girl, but you remove your boobs and you have scars.
It's just outrageous.
Hmm.
That's very interesting.
And, you know, come on.
I don't get it.
How many people play an opposite sex in these games?
I don't mean like transgender, just like I'm a guy.
I don't want to play this game and I make myself a woman.
Probably.
Well, I don't.
I think a lot of them.
I bet there's you'd be surprised.
I played.
And you run around with no clothes on.
No, I never have.
I've never played this game.
Oh, me neither.
I played some other games like I played some games on the Xbox that, you know, you get
to pick these characters and sometimes the characters are naked.
Well, if I have an opportunity, yes, absolutely.
But these, you know, typically I play with guys, but I should probably should rephrase
that.
You know, when I'm playing these video games, you know, there are some female game avatars
that you select because they come with certain features, not the breasts, but different types
of weapons and their specialties and things.
I mean, you know, when I played D&D, I had female characters.
It's no different.
It is.
They're not as strong.
Well, or as fast.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Huh.
But they had magic.
Yeah.
They had magic.
They had magic to make them run faster.
Are witches stronger than warlocks?
They can't.
It depends.
Yeah.
It depends what level.
That's right.
Yeah.
How much mana they can begin to generate.
And what spells they have.
And how fast they can regenerate their mana and how much power the destructive forces
have.
Damn it.
I mean, there are so many elements.
We got him started on this.
Witches have brooms.
We're going to start geeking out here.
Brooms.
And to fly around on, yes.
A broom is just one vessel for them to maneuver around.
Do warlocks have like scepters?
Or a cane?
Oh, god.
There's cats.
There's different variety of animals.
Vacuum cleaners.
That's right.
Unicorn.
Various forms of cleaning tools.
A swiffer.
Yeah.
Like a little dusting wand.
I'll tell you what.
My boys got me a PS4 for Christmas.
Really?
And not the new one, but they wanted me because I'm a huge fan of God of War.
And they wanted me to play all the God of War.
With them?
No, because it's a single player.
Right.
Oh, OK.
But they used to watch me play.
So you don't have the Xbox anymore downstairs?
We actually have the Xbox.
So you have both.
Yeah, both.
Well, you know what?
You can still download some.
What is that game?
Apex.
Yeah, I downloaded it on the Sony.
I haven't launched it yet because I was playing.
And I beat the God of War and I recommend, although you have the Xbox, you have to have
Sony.
It's a Sony title.
Play it.
It's outstanding.
The best game out there.
It's a single player game.
Correct.
Yeah, you can't play God of War on Xbox because it is proprietary to Xbox.
So you've got to buy a PlayStation, a PS.
It's kind of like Halo, I believe.
Yeah, Halo is Xbox.
You're right.
You can't play Halo on.
So what's so great about it?
What makes this game any different than any other first player?
The story, the story, the music is outstanding.
The story, the cinematics, because the story, that one band, that European band that you
guys are nightwish.
Well, no, it's orchestral.
What they do is they just have a niche.
They, you know, they they have very similar games to the Xbox.
I mean, they really well prepared music backgrounds and graphics.
Yeah, it's just like they make a proprietary so that you have to buy the PlayStation.
There's I mean, there's a ton.
I mean, there's a massive element of Hollywood that works on games that do games.
Yeah, this is the new one.
Yeah, it's so when do you play?
When do you have time to play?
I'll do it.
The weekends really for like a couple hours at a time.
When I get it, sometimes I don't play for a couple of weeks.
Right.
I get up at like in the morning if I wake up early and she's still sleeping before we
go for the day, I'll pop it in and play for an hour.
Interesting.
I've always wanted to game.
I just so this is the one I play every day.
I just I don't have it into my schedule.
Yeah, I play.
This is the one.
This is the one I played.
God of War three.
I play every day.
Every single day.
Yeah.
Well, you know, it's all about it's all about what your entertainment, right?
It's whatever you want to do for.
There are some people that will watch Netflix.
That's what we do every night.
You know, when I at night I'll watch I'll watch the five after after I finish with work
when sometimes work is, you know, we're talking about.
Well, I break my schedule up and we've talked about this before.
Yeah, we have.
You know, I'll play in the afternoon and I'll take a break, eat dinner and and then I'll
go back and work at seven o'clock till like midnight.
Right.
And then I'll play to like I'll work till like 10 or 11 and then I'll I'll play from
11 to midnight.
Right.
And I'll watch.
Usually I watch the five and then I play a couple of rounds.
Yeah.
You know, I won't watch.
You know, it's it's either watch TV or play a game.
Everyone watches TV at night.
Yeah, they do.
So here's the thing.
I fight it internally.
And when I say fight, I rationalize it.
I think that's a fair thing because I enjoy it.
I enjoy it.
It's Idaho coordination.
You know, it's just you you you I mean, I just enjoy it.
That's really the bottom line.
Yeah, I don't enjoy the games you play because I'm not very good at it.
I like these kind of games.
Well, I enjoy that, too.
The Skyrim and in the it's just I play multiplayer online games, you know, player versus player.
Yeah, I don't like that.
Well, you got it.
Well, no one likes it.
At first, you got to practice.
And then once you practice, you know, I know, I know.
I never get.
I remember it was like a Friday or Saturday night and I was, you know, having a couple
beverages and I went upstairs and my boys were playing Fortnite.
And so they've got their headset on and they're talking to their buddies.
And then I'm like, I just sat down on the couch and I'm like, all right, give me the
headset.
I'm going to play.
And they're like, they all thought it's great.
Right.
My dad's going to join.
They're like, what?
Cool.
And so here I am.
I have no freaking clue what I'm doing.
And I'm like, and of course, you know, then I make it fun for them because I'm acting
stupider than I need to be.
Right.
Like, why can't I jump?
I mean, for real, though, I didn't, you know, what are the damn buttons and all this kind
of stuff?
Anyway, they just thought it was so freaking hilarious.
Anyway, yeah, my son with your son online.
Yeah.
I'll ping him.
Apex or whatever.
Right.
Yeah, that's one of them.
Well, actually, that's the only one I played with him so far.
Damn, man.
This bourbon is so good.
I don't know if it's because I haven't drank in a long time or I'm an alcoholic or what's
going on.
It's all the above.
Yeah.
No, it's it's tasty.
I think this is going to be one that we may replace once it's gone.
Yeah.
So there's a select few that are that fall in that.
I think there's maybe one of them.
It's good.
It's it's sweet.
It's sweet.
But but man, what a what a great finish.
All right.
Anyway, we got to get this off the screen.
Speaking of finish, did you guys hear about that skater from Finland?
I'm going to see a video of it.
I you said so it's a guy that that skated a transgender, transgender skater.
OK, yes.
She or he was at the situation where they couldn't compete in their own category.
So they thought that they could beat the women or something, because women are better skaters
than men.
Right.
And Leah is not better than anyone.
It looks like me out there in tights in a two to really trying to do this.
It's so bad.
And I think they I don't know if they made a special class for him or what.
But they need to make special classes.
They do folks.
I mean, there's a whole litany of female swimmers that share the that are on the same team as
that Leah Thomas.
Yeah, I know.
And they're upset.
They're upset that this has been imposed on them unjustly.
Think about it, guys.
They're down naked.
What if my daughter was in there?
Fuck that.
So I do looking at her like that.
You know what?
And here it is.
There's a picture of it.
All right.
So here we go.
What?
And what is this?
All right.
So this this is a joke.
No, it was not.
I mean, already.
Look, look, he's struggling to maintain balance.
Yeah, this is not a joke.
And this is this is embarrassing.
He looks like a grandma.
This is embarrassing.
He's thick.
You know, oh, he fell onto his knee.
This is a joke.
No, it was not a joke.
He can't get up.
How about falling?
That's my butt plug fell out.
It's kind of sad if you ask me, right.
Someone has got to help.
Yeah, I mean, come on.
This guy's trying to make a point.
This is a joke.
I mean, I don't mean it's it's not for real.
What I mean is this person is not serious about skating.
No, I can promise you there are men.
There are men that are incredible at skating.
And if they were transgender skaters, they would be amazing.
Right.
So I don't know how this guy got chosen or what.
But this is just stupid.
It's a mockery.
It's really what it boils down to.
But I don't know the story of him.
Right.
I don't know the whole story of this, but I know it's what is his name?
You know what it is?
It is he, she, whatever, wanted to be wanted to become famous, like Leah Thompson.
Just wanted to be.
Well, he got famous for the wrong reason.
Right.
He just wanted to become famous and wanted to make a name.
You know, crazy.
That's so dumb.
I mean, literally look like she's never been on skates before.
I know.
That's what I said.
Looks like me out there.
You're mocking the women's event.
He's 59 years old.
Get the fuck out of here.
This is so ridiculous.
It was his childhood dream to represent her country on the ice.
Whatever, man.
You know, it's each their own, but it's just like this.
I don't give a fuck.
It just don't impose your shit on my life.
I know.
I mean, come on.
Yeah.
I mean, why?
You know, what's probably sad is that he probably took somebody's spot.
Well, I think it was during the flag presentation.
What says there?
Right.
So it wasn't even like competition.
I think it was a introducing our first transgender national figure skater.
So it was just a Johnson.
It was a hat tip or nod to the LB.
Yeah.
He wasn't competing.
Okay.
That's different.
It's kind of a what do they call that?
A mascot.
Yeah.
No, a mascot.
That's literally what it is.
Right.
I mean, it's no different than asking the NHL players to put on a wear pride jerseys.
Now this is more like the Olympic torch.
Right.
It's a hat tip to to the LB Q whatever community.
Yeah.
That's pretty stupid.
The whole this whole LB GQ ABCDEFG is getting out of fucking hand.
You know, it's just like nobody gives a fuck.
You know, there was some they do.
Yeah.
Well, not all the folks on the Twitter do.
There were some think your average gay person does not.
Right.
There was this guy who is the president of some gay community and LGBTQ.
I don't know all the acronyms and I don't give a fuck.
But it was he was the president and he was speaking in a town meeting.
Oh, we need to silence our phones.
What's going on over there?
That was your son.
So he was speaking in front of a council at the school and he was talking about how inappropriate
it was to have a gay pride flag in the classrooms.
It's like as a gay man, as a gay man, not just a gay man, but a representative of the
gay community, the president of some gay community.
He was like, it's it's so inappropriate because the flag represents sexuality.
It has nothing to do with the school and teaching people.
It has to do with sexuality.
It says you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
I love that.
You need to take us out.
You know, that's a rational.
I'm gay.
I'm in my thirties.
I you know, I want to live my life.
I respect the LGBTQ whatever.
He says like, you know, this is inappropriate to be teaching kids.
You don't need to be teaching kids this stuff and to be flaunting it in everyone's face.
Yeah.
I mean, you reading stories and all kinds of stuff.
I saw this meme with Michelle Obama and someone had put up on there that trans was another
transgender reading books to know what is it?
What do they call it?
Drag another person dressed in drag reading books to kids.
That was pretty fucked up.
I don't understand what the obsession is about this drag, drag book reading thing other than
there being an agenda to start the kids early.
Of course, that's what it is.
That's what it is.
It's got to be exposed them early so it becomes normalized.
It's normalized.
Yeah.
I think it there's a bigger picture here.
I think that there's somebody this this this ether is imposing all these weird shit on
us so that we can break down our social systems and just break us down.
They're trying to conquer and divide us.
And it's just it's the same.
They're sure doing it.
You know, like George Soros, for example, you know, he's the power suggestion.
You know, he's he's the owner of all these media companies.
And I may have suggested or said something about this in another podcast.
But there is a story out there that he purchased like twenty three television stations.
No, in Mexico it was well, he bought about 30 Mexican or Hispanic radio stations here
in the U.S.
Was that what it was?
Yeah, we talked about that.
He bought, I think, 30 Hispanic radio stations here in the U.S.
Well, you know, it was that an investment or was that a I know I know the answer.
That's a I want to put my wants to shape the message, the Hispanic.
And there is one because they're slowly turning red.
Correct.
And there's a station in Miami that's a conservative Hispanic talk radio station.
And he bought it.
And the DJs on there, wherever you want to call them, left.
They left.
They're like, I'm not going to be part of this.
I'm not going to follow that.
So he's changing the format.
Of course.
Yeah.
Wow.
That's to get the Cubans down there in Miami, because the Cubans are conservative.
So they're escaping.
This is all propaganda to conquer and divide and to get this new world order that Elon Musk
is suggesting is a horrible idea.
And it has to start with the fall of Western society.
It has to start with the United States falling.
I'm telling you what scares the shit out of me right now is the fact that the the the
pipeline from Russia to through Europe, the get in the North Sea.
Yeah.
That they bombed and Nord Stream.
And they're saying they're saying that we did it.
Well, we did do it.
And that's just it.
Biden acknowledged that we did it.
No, we didn't.
I didn't hear the special forces that went in there and they said it.
I didn't hear any of this.
Now, I'll pull that up there.
Nord Stream.
This is what happened six months ago or something like that.
Yes.
Yeah.
And it's all like, you know, nothing to see here.
China balloons and fucking trains capsizing and and Murdoch killing his wife and son as
all the shit.
So the sabotage Russia, the West Clash.
Well, they suspect that it's the US.
Yeah, we didn't come out and admit it.
Yeah, because I know somebody that did.
So US bomb Nord Stream gas.
I heard it was Russia that did it.
Yeah, that makes actual sense.
Yeah, they're trying to create an energy stranglehold on Europe.
Yeah, that's what I heard.
I heard it was the.
Yeah, it would make no sense for us to do it.
Well, it says US bombed nor Nord Stream gas pipelines, says top investigative journalist.
What happened under the Baltic Sea last year?
A Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Seymour Hersh, has reported that US Navy divers operating
under cover of a Midsummer NATO exercise, planting remote triggered bombs to destroy
three of the first.
No, this was he down there with him.
A veteran of American investigative journalists has claimed that September 2022 bombing of
the undersea Nord Stream gas pipelines was carried out by the central by the CIA in a
covert operation at the direction of the White House President Joe Biden's administration,
even though they had denied the allegations and I call I call BS on that one.
Well, this one is the Indian Express dot com.
Oh, hold on.
Hold on.
Talk about credibility.
Yeah, I don't buy it.
Well, look, but my point is, is that you never know?
You never know.
Great, crazy.
Your shit happened.
But but but you listen to what Biden said.
What did he say?
Well, what are we going to do once that pipeline comes?
We're not going to let them get that pipeline finished.
Finished.
No, he said he approved it to get it finished.
He killed the keystone and it proved the Nord Stream.
That's exactly right.
He said that we're not going to allow them to finish it.
He said that.
I don't remember that.
I don't know that either.
Is that the same the same journalist?
No, no, that's the same website.
That's actually a.
Yeah, he's the one who gave final approval in NATO or whoever it was.
Right.
Outrageous.
I know as well, I kill our keystone.
Yeah, that was the hypocrisy that I couldn't believe when that happened.
I know it pissed me off as well.
Yeah.
Well, it's since been fixed, though, right?
The Nord Stream.
It's not still spewing.
I don't think well, they stopped it.
But once that water gets into the pipe, it's ruined.
Once that saltwater.
Yeah, they're going to have to replace the whole pipe.
So Europe's not getting any oil from Russia right now?
That is a natural gas or natural gas.
They're not getting any natural gas right now from Russia.
I didn't think so.
And they're in a bind.
They're in a major bind.
They're rationing the rationing and all sorts of stuff.
Well, I know they were going to you hear about a lot of the Germans that are stockpiled.
So here's what Biden said.
Right.
He says and he's quoted here and there's even a video.
Biden says he'll shut down Nord Stream pipeline if Russia invades Ukraine.
That's what he said.
And there's a video YouTube that that shows him saying it.
And I heard him say it.
Did he say that or did some gamers say it?
Yeah, that was a deep fake.
There it is right there.
Look at the video there.
Well, yeah, right there down below right there.
Russia invades.
That means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine.
God.
Then there will be we there will be no longer a Nord Stream to we will bring an end to it.
There you go.
How will you how will you do that?
So there you go from the horse's mouth.
We'll we'll bomb it since the project and control of the project and watch.
You'll have some shitty ass smile.
We will.
We'll promise you we'll be able to do it.
Well, there you go.
I had not seen that.
I had not seen that either.
That gives it a little bit of credibility.
Maybe this Indian Express journalists.
Well, you know, we don't want to pull surprise.
Pull it, sir.
Is that what I said?
Wow.
Amazing.
Yeah, I'd never heard that.
So well, my point by bringing that up is who does that hurt?
So yes, Russia doesn't get the revenue, but it hurts.
But Europe doesn't get the energy.
So it hurts both parties.
It hurts both parties.
But but but I guess they don't want Russia to get the money to fund the war.
So Ukraine was the one that was was giving Germany the gas.
They had to run the pipes through Ukraine to the Ukraine was profiting from the gas
running through Ukraine to get to Europe.
Right.
And that's that off.
Well, I mean, Russia shut that down.
Well, yeah.
But that's my point is that they circumvented it and went around it so that they wouldn't
have to do that anymore.
So but they're trying to reopen those lines so that because technically that's probably
why we're shelling out so much money.
It's a fucking cash cow.
Hundred billion dollars so far.
We give them one hundred and seventeen billion dollars right now.
Hold on.
How much have they given East Palestine?
One billion, two billion, twenty billion.
I don't believe they've done anything.
They've given them a dollar.
Well, well, well, Biden didn't even declare an emergency.
Well, DeWine asked for FEMA and he got denied.
Yeah, they did not declare it an emergency.
They said, well, it doesn't really fit the policy.
Here's a nine month recap of all the money laundering we've given.
I'm sorry.
Not the laundry laundry.
So in March, thirteen point six billion, May, forty billion, November, thirty seven billion,
totaling ninety one point three billion.
Unbelievable.
That guy gets what, ten percent?
That was of January twenty six.
Now it did.
This stinks.
It does.
But let me let me ask you this.
So so recently, you know, you were talking about, you know, what do you what do you do
for entertainment?
Right.
Shelly went out to some she was gone for a long time and I watched World War Two stuff.
Right.
Just found some whatever videos I could find about World War Two.
And this one was really, really good because it really walked through not when the war
broke out, but all the stuff that happened leading up to that war.
Right.
To why it happened.
Right.
And there are a ton of parallels, man, to what's going on right now to to with the whole
Russian situation where they're they want to reclaim their motherland, which is what
Hitler wanted to do.
He wanted to reclaim the German motherland.
And so he was picking those contentious territories around Germany, which is what Russia is doing.
They're wanting to rebuild the Soviet Union again.
And so they're, you know, wanting Ukraine back and they're wanting this back and wanting
that back.
I think Hitler was a little more successful at that, though.
Yes.
But I'm just saying.
So when I was watching that, it kind of changed my perspective because they just let him do
it.
They were like, OK, OK, we'll let you have the Deutschland.
OK.
Right.
Appease, appease, appease.
Right.
And I'm thinking to myself, if we don't funnel money into Ukraine and help them stop, you
know, stop Russia from taking over Ukraine, do we are we feeding into the same damn thing
as what happened in World War Two?
In other words, in other words, if the world had stepped up to him as aggressively as they
are with Putin right now, if they had stepped up that aggressively with Hitler from the
get go, you know, would things have been different?
No, we would.
We didn't have the capabilities of stepping up against Hitler.
And Hitler was the people that were working with Hitler were smart and they utilized the
trains and we didn't have that type of I mean, you got to think of the terrain, you got to
think of the weather.
And they were utilizing the trains.
They commandeered all the trains in Europe and they were using it to ship military tools
everywhere.
Troops and supplies.
But you see where I'm going with that.
I mean, there was a strategy of appeasement against Hitler.
Yeah.
And Obama had a strategy of appeasement with Putin and let him take Crimea.
Now, you know what I'm saying?
I mean, what's so we've literally just rolled over and said, Ukraine, we're not helping
you and they get steamrolled.
So then boom, Ukraine becomes Russia again.
Right.
The entire.
Then what's next?
Georgia, Baltics.
That's what they call the dominoes.
They're already talking about Moldova.
They want Moldova back.
Right.
They want the other.
And those are free countries.
Kazakhstan.
Yeah.
Chechnya.
Chekakha stand.
Yes.
The cock word.
Kanga Kanga Raga stand.
Karega stand.
Right.
Yeah.
I mean, seriously, though, I mean, that's that's how it happens.
He literally wants to bring the glory of the old Soviet Union back.
How old is Putin?
Is he 70?
I thought maybe if if 70, I thought he was in his late.
Do we think that people are trying to take him out?
Well, his own country.
He's been in hiding.
That's what I mean.
He's in hiding.
But yes.
But what if what if he gets assassinated?
Does this end?
I think it does.
Yeah, it depends.
You know, there's always some shady guy that's behind the shady guy.
Right.
So I don't know.
Yeah, because everyone around Putin, he's exactly 70.
Look at that.
He is 70.
Right.
October.
So he's 70.5.
But everyone around him, he doesn't trust anybody.
No, he circulates them nonstop.
Well, because he really screwed over the oligarchs, right?
The Russian, the billionaire.
That's what I mean.
These billionaires killing him.
He's he's fucking.
That's right.
There's a full on war going on.
That's what I mean.
Is someone going to find him and take him out?
I would have thought it would have happened already, to be honest.
And it has not.
So, I mean, obviously, he's got a tight circle around him.
He's and he's smart about his security.
But he isn't hiding.
They don't see him very often.
He comes out and makes these speeches every now and then.
Right.
He's got a lot of detail out there.
Now he's colluding with with China and China is offering their support to to do whatever
they're going to do.
And here's the thing.
They're dividing.
They're dividing the world.
I don't think China could do a war.
I think they were so depleted.
Yeah, but they have an investment there.
They have an invested interest in Ukraine because Ukraine has natural elements there
that are minerals.
All right.
They've got sort of China.
Well, they do.
But I know you.
They want more.
Well, I mean, they want a monopoly.
China.
Well, they they're and they're getting it because we you know, Biden let them take over
Afghanistan and Afghanistan has their rich in minerals.
And I think they're running the roadblocks of Afghanistan.
I remember I sent you that thing.
I said you're going to enjoy this.
Yeah, the the the Chinese are getting smacked around by the Taliban.
Yeah.
Doing some jihad bombings with American weaponry.
Yeah.
You left 80 billion dollars worth of weaponry over there.
That's ridiculous.
Don't bring that up again.
That's just so painful.
The whole thing is painful.
It really is.
It's frustrating.
Think of the money that that the Biden administration is just kind of I'm not saying the Ukraine
money is thrown away.
There's one hundred and seventeen million.
There's 80 billion left behind in Afghanistan.
It's nauseating.
That's two hundred billion dollars right there.
But the money going into Ukraine is is is obscene.
There needs to be oversight, man.
Correct.
And that's the thing.
That's the problem.
It's a blank check.
And I guarantee 40 percent of it's going is not even funding the troops.
It's going it's it's line of some pockets.
Absolutely.
Forty percent.
I would.
I was a little bit because someone's going to retire here soon.
I'm out.
They were interviewing a female political female in Ukraine and they were asking her
or she was explaining what's happening with the money coming in.
Right.
And she was just like, well, you know, we had to we had to fire or remove people from
position.
Oh, yeah.
They cleaned out the money was was going somewhere and we'd allocated to X, Y, Z, and it got
stuck at X and didn't go to YZ.
So we had to go in there, figure out what's going on with it.
There was four or five, six people that were now the money that went to X. Half of it's
there.
The rest of the half of it's gone.
We have no idea where that's at.
Yeah.
And then now they were like, all right, well, you're fired.
Get the fuck out of here.
Where's the rest of money?
I don't know exactly what it's at.
No.
Why is he's gone?
So now we're out.
These American taxpayers money.
Absolutely.
This is our hard earned money that is being extorted from us.
You don't even have a say on what's going on.
And what's crazy is only what?
It's only a tenth of a trillion dollars.
Is that right?
That's it.
I took that thirty one trillion.
It's a tenth of a trillion dollars is what we've sent to them, which doesn't seem like
a lot in the grand scheme of things.
It's not.
It's really not.
Well, I mean, we have trillion dollar deficits, trillion dollar deficit every year.
Well, I read I read an article today and this really stumed me that Joe Biden gave the Teamsters
thirty six billion dollars to bail out their pension.
This is the teachers union.
What is Teamsters?
Oh, Teamsters.
This is a what?
Steel.
This is a union.
So Biden gave them iron and steel and drivers, all sorts of shit.
OK, to bail out their pensions, bail out their pension because they managed it so poorly
and thirty six billion dollars and every single person got like one hundred thousand dollars.
Yep.
I read the same article.
Yep.
Yeah, that's neat.
That's cool.
So there you go.
Thirty six billion dollars right there.
Money.
There is money doesn't mean anything now because they can just keep going.
It can be.
So that's a billion.
Now, Trump was kind of two hundred trillion.
He went down to East Palestine.
We'll probably talk about in the second half coming up.
But he went down there and he brought a bunch of food, water and bought a bunch of bought
a bunch of food from McDonald's, which is great.
But is it all just a fucking dog and pony show to he's always to make the Democrats
look bad?
Right.
Yes.
But he's always kind of helped those the blue collars.
I agree.
You know, but people say that the reality of it is maybe that is true.
But you know what?
He went down there.
Still did it.
He brought help and you can you can question the mode of all you want.
But the bottom line is they get they're getting it.
But now no help.
Now that he went down there, now all this shit's moving.
Oh, yeah.
Judge went down there and say, oh, I'm sorry.
Hold on.
What did Pouda just say?
Unbelievable.
Before what Mayor Pete Mayor Pete.
Oh, yeah.
God, that guy's got so much political experience.
He's terrible.
Terrible.
Absolutely terrible.
Maybe as you look for that, we could talk about East Palestine in the second half.
That's a nightmare.
And did you see the did you see the the picture of the EPA coordinator and somebody and they're
all drinking the tap water?
The fuck out of I was like, and I guarantee they're like looking at the glass going to
the judge said, he said, I felt strongly about this and could have expressed it sooner.
That's what he said, describing the twisted metal is again, I was taking pains to respect
the role that I have and the role that I don't have.
They look they look so they look awful.
Ridiculous.
Well, that's our new hours.
That's our government for we are 15 minutes shy to appease the masses.
And we're enjoying it because I think we're going to get out of half an hour earlier.
I know it'll be nice.
I do.
That's us.
I'm Sean.
I'm Paul.
And I am Jeff.
And I am Paul.
And I am Jeff.
