1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
But we can cover that.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Let's open gun safety.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
This is what happened a couple years ago.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
I don't know if I should tell people.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,000
You know what?

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Fuck it, I don't care.

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Alright guys, welcome to Dudes Like Us.

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000
It's March 21st, the second half of a fantastic lineup that we've got going on.

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
The first half was off the hook, man.

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Can you imagine we didn't talk about politics at all?

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
I know.

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,000
It's very rare.

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
And we kind of came into it going, what are we going to talk about?

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Accordingly, the second half will be nothing but politics.

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,000
No, no we're not.

16
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Actually, there's nothing to talk about really, because it's all the same stupid bullshit.

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
It's the same bullshit.

18
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000
It really is.

19
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
It's so cyclical.

20
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Yeah, I mean they're trying to arrest Trump, and Biden's an idiot, and we're giving him

21
00:00:51,000 --> 00:01:01,000
the dollars to Ukraine, and Putin and Xi from China are colluding for world dominance.

22
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
And then there's more examples of woke, woke, woke, woke, woke.

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Yeah, man, what is woke?

24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000
It's all the same old shit, man.

25
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Well, the thing is, they're trying to get the conservatives by saying you can't even define woke.

26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Woke is?

27
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
I think it's political correctness.

28
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Well.

29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Woke is finding a fault in anything without holding yourself accountable.

30
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
That's woke.

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
I mean, that's a good question.

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
How do we define woke?

33
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
I saw actually a definition of it today.

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,000
It was pretty good.

35
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000
I need to find that.

36
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:52,000
But that's kind of how they're trying to defeat the whole woke bad narrative that is going

37
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,000
on out there, because it's bad.

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
I mean, everything is ridiculous.

39
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
It's a negative, yes.

40
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Well, they had a, was a, Jen Balsakie had her first debut show on, I think yesterday,

41
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
and excuse me, I mean, she brought up, I believe, woke and trying to define it.

42
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
And, you know, and then it was, you know, they're kind of say, well, there's, there's,

43
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,000
there's several versions of, you know, the Democrats think woke is this and the Republicans

44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:26,000
think woke is that, you know, I look at it from the perspective or an analogy of if you're

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:36,000
a Karen, you're woke and a Karen is finding frivolous things to complain about that don't

46
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
have any merit in the real world.

47
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:46,000
You know, it's like kids roller skating down the street or, you know, or getting bent out

48
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
of shape for them rollerblading or roller skating on a sidewalk or somewhere.

49
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
You know, there's a time and place for everything.

50
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
And there's a, there's always a better way to handle things.

51
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
And don't, don't be that person.

52
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,000
You know, there's woke people that are, you know, do you, do you talk about these people

53
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
that want to define, Hey, look, I'm going to identify as they, them?

54
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Well, that's just stupid.

55
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000
That's not woke.

56
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
You know, you know, seriously, that's just stupid.

57
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000
You know, that that's ignorance and that's not even woke.

58
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
That's just stupid.

59
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,000
You know, if you want to identify, if you're female biologically and you want to identify

60
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
as a male and you identify as a he, him, well, you know what?

61
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
That has some merit.

62
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,000
You know, if you want to walk around as a, as a dude and you're actually a female, you

63
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
know, I'll give it to you.

64
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,000
It makes sense.

65
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000
If you're really a dude and you think you're a female, you know, I'll respect it because

66
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
I don't give a shit.

67
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,000
If you look like a dude and you're, you know, you're out there playing golf with me and,

68
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
or, you know, and are doing, you know, just doing dude things.

69
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,000
It's called cross-dressing.

70
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Whatever.

71
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
I'm just saying, you know, I would be like, Hey, I'm hanging out with my guy friends.

72
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,000
It's not a big deal.

73
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000
I'm just in a circle for forever.

74
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Oh, yeah.

75
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,000
I'm forever.

76
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
I mean, it's actually, it's actually referenced in the Bible.

77
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Yeah.

78
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,000
That's what's going on.

79
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,000
But I think the difference, the 13th warrior was, was supposed to be a cross-dressing male.

80
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
I don't know.

81
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:21,000
But the difference is, is it's, it's jumped a level where that says it's normal.

82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
No, it's biology.

83
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:30,000
It's going against biology where men can be women and women can be men, which means men

84
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
can have babies, which means I'm a man.

85
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Now can I have a baby?

86
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,000
You don't have a room.

87
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,000
That's what you cross the line.

88
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,000
That's what I said.

89
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,000
That's what the difference is these days.

90
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
That's what they're trying to say.

91
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,000
I am a man.

92
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Yeah, you're not.

93
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000
I am a woman because I think I am.

94
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Therefore I am.

95
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
No, you are not.

96
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
You still have a dick, whether you cut it off or not.

97
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,000
You don't have ovaries.

98
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,000
You don't have a uterus.

99
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
You don't have any of that shit in there.

100
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
I think the best analogy was...

101
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
We found a rare thing that triggers Jeff.

102
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,000
It just pisses me off.

103
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,000
It's so illogical.

104
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,000
It is illogical.

105
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:07,000
The best analogy I found was those, the little photo of the pizza hut and the pizza hut closed

106
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
and it turned into a chop chow mein or whatever.

107
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
It says that it doesn't matter what it is.

108
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
It will always be a pizza hut.

109
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
You always knew what it was.

110
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Yeah.

111
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Yeah.

112
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,000
It's like, come on, man.

113
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,000
You know?

114
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Yeah.

115
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:31,000
You've got some trans dude and, oh, what's that bitch's name that was with Adam Sandler?

116
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Oh my God.

117
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Who?

118
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Blonde girl.

119
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Drew Barrymore?

120
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Drew Barrymore.

121
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000
She was on her talk show.

122
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Oh, I see.

123
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,000
And she gets on her hands and knees.

124
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Oh, I saw that.

125
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,360
And look, look, look.

126
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,000
I listened to the thing.

127
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
And what she was talking about, it was sincere.

128
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000
All right?

129
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:53,000
But it doesn't matter because it was sincere coming from her about her.

130
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:01,000
But when you tied into what that guy is and he, if you want to identify as a female because

131
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,000
you're a guy and you're doing that, whatever, but you're still, these guys are talking about

132
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000
putting ketchup in their underwear to synthesize, you know, a period.

133
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Yeah, they freeze.

134
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000
They freeze ketchup that they're putting in there.

135
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,000
They freeze ketchup and they shove the frozen capsules up their asshole.

136
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000
So when it melts, it simulates bleeding.

137
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,000
It's retarded.

138
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
You're being a hundred percent serious right now.

139
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
One hundred percent serious.

140
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Okay.

141
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Okay.

142
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Yeah.

143
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
And why do you know that?

144
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Okay.

145
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
That was, that's an excellent question too.

146
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
That's actually probably better than my question.

147
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
No, I just, you know, but.

148
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Yeah.

149
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,000
No, I heard the same thing.

150
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,000
I have no words.

151
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,000
I have no words.

152
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,000
I heard the same thing.

153
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,000
And that's just it.

154
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Now that is, to me, that is kind of what the woke program is all about.

155
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
It's silly.

156
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000
That's trying to act like something you're not.

157
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:03,000
It's taking an irrational notion and it's like, it's just, it's just not real.

158
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000
You know, I don't care.

159
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,000
If you want to walk around like a male or a female, if you want to walk around as the

160
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,000
opposite sex, okay, fine.

161
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000
You feel better about yourself walking around in the skin of the opposite sex.

162
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
I'm not going to fault you for that.

163
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
I mean, I think it's a little weird, but you know what?

164
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,000
I'm still going to respect you.

165
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,000
I'm not going to treat you any different.

166
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000
I'm going to be really nice to you and cordial, blah, blah, blah.

167
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
I don't care because at the end of the day, I don't give a fuck.

168
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:36,000
However, don't come to me and say, you know, you need to take a couple days off because

169
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
it's that time of month.

170
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000
No, just not fucking happening.

171
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
It's not so much that I'll do it.

172
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Let me finish that analogy and see if you agree with me.

173
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:52,000
It's more today is fly the trans flag day and you choose not to.

174
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Oh, well, and now you're a now they heap, heap, heap on you.

175
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Right.

176
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
So everything you said up to that point was perfect.

177
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Right.

178
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Do what you want to do.

179
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000
If you know, however, you know, I'm going to respect you, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

180
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
But don't make me.

181
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Yeah.

182
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Don't make me fly the trans flag day.

183
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Right.

184
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000
And then if I don't, I'm I'm an asshole.

185
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Like I'm a racist and Marxist and all these crazy things that they call people.

186
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Right.

187
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,000
They attack.

188
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Right.

189
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,000
And that's what they do.

190
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,000
And they make and they make all of us fearful to reciprocity.

191
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,000
That's right.

192
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,000
We're going to get we're fearful not to go along with it.

193
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Because we don't want to be labeled any of these things.

194
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000
That's like the San Jose sharks goalie.

195
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,000
That's right.

196
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,000
You know, refuse to wear the the the gay pride jersey.

197
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
There you go.

198
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
You know, during practice, and they attacked it.

199
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000
It doesn't matter.

200
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
The reason why it doesn't have to be for religion.

201
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
They want to force the issue.

202
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
They want full acceptance.

203
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000
And if you don't, you are against us.

204
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
No, I just don't care.

205
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
And I'm not and you can't force your beliefs on me.

206
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000
It's just like a religion.

207
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Like you said, yes, I'm not whatever.

208
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Jewish, Muslim, Catholic.

209
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,000
I don't believe it.

210
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Don't force it on me.

211
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Right. Right.

212
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,000
I will come to my own conclusions myself.

213
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Right. And if I convert, I convert.

214
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000
And seriously, that is the difference.

215
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,000
That's the difference.

216
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
I think people have these people have been around forever.

217
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Like it's like a religion these days.

218
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
I mean, it's no different than anything else.

219
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:33,000
I mean, like we all have weird things that we do, things that we like, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

220
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:41,000
But but I mean, you know, I'm not going to call you a racist because you're not you're not a Tennessee Titans fan.

221
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,000
You know what I mean?

222
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000
I'm not going to I'm not going to you know what I mean?

223
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
I'm not going to call you.

224
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,000
I'm not a homophobe because I don't want a trans person.

225
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,000
It doesn't even to be trans.

226
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,000
What is it?

227
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,000
The drag queen.

228
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,000
I don't want a drag queen reading stories to my kid.

229
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Right.

230
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
How are you going to explain that?

231
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Right. And that is hate.

232
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Like now they're saying, come on, your reaction to saying you don't want that is makes you like that's the way they get you.

233
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,000
That's the same.

234
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,000
See that.

235
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000
It's like what if I don't like chicken sandwich?

236
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
What if I don't like chicken?

237
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
What if I don't like pizza?

238
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
You know, if I don't like pizza, my point is Tennessee Titans.

239
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
It's like it's like if you don't agree with me.

240
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Oh, God.

241
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
You are all these things.

242
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
You're heaping on all these names.

243
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Or it could be the opposite.

244
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
So if you're like if you're a Tennessee Titan, you'd be like, oh, well, you must be a pussy.

245
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Right. Right.

246
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Then you start heaping stuff on me for liking the Tennessee Titans.

247
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Right.

248
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
I mean, but you see my point is just so ridiculous.

249
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000
I mean, you can't win against that argument.

250
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,000
No.

251
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
And that's the point.

252
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
You're not meant to.

253
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000
You're meant to be shamed into compliance.

254
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:53,000
The problem that we're getting is that you got California that has made it a law to identify people as a he or she.

255
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:00,000
And you it's like I can't go up to a police officer and say, hey, that dude, that guy just fucking hit me in the head with a hammer.

256
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
And he goes, oh, my God, I'm not a guy.

257
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,000
I don't associate by he.

258
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Oh, sir, you just broke the law.

259
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000
He misgendered me.

260
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
And then they arrest you.

261
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Yeah, exactly.

262
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Right.

263
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Retarded.

264
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Totally. I agree.

265
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,000
It's totally stupid.

266
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
That's happening up in Canada.

267
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,000
We talked about that where the kid got arrested for refusing to acknowledge.

268
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Correct or misgendering or whatever the scenario was in Canada.

269
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
That's against the law.

270
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,000
It was a Christian student that that was sticking to his guns about there being only a male and a female.

271
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Correct.

272
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000
And they arrested him and refute.

273
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:43,000
And he tried to come back to school and they called the cops on him and arrested him and yanked him off the campus.

274
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000
That's a law.

275
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Is that a public school?

276
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Like, wasn't even like a public school, I don't know, might have been a Christian school.

277
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000
I don't know.

278
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,000
That's the other crazy thing.

279
00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Christian schools are now cracking down on people that that don't think that, you know, aren't as the part,

280
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
you know, there's more genders is what has the pope weighed in on this.

281
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,000
I don't know.

282
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
I have no idea.

283
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Well, I tell you what the pope, I mean, he's a fairly liberal.

284
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Oh, he's exceptionally liberal.

285
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,000
I mean, there are conservative Catholics that are very upset with this pope.

286
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Kiss Jesus.

287
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:26,000
But I'm talking about like they're changing changing rules to where now priests don't have to be celibate.

288
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Oh, really? I didn't know that.

289
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Yeah, that just came up like last week.

290
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000
It's like, oh, really?

291
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000
OK.

292
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,000
And so they're going to start allowing, you know, priests to be married in the Catholic Church.

293
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,000
They're going to start allowing this.

294
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Is that because they're finding it harder and harder to find priests?

295
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
That might be.

296
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:49,000
So they're like, OK, we need to they're finding it harder and harder to find heterosexual priests that will commit to that.

297
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
No, I think it's a matter of that could be.

298
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,000
But I think it's a matter of they see their enrollment just like the military.

299
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Right. You have to have continue enrollment to backfill.

300
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Right. So I think their enrollment to become into theology school or whatever you want to call it is way down.

301
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,000
So they have to go, OK, we need to make this a little more attractive.

302
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000
A lot of guys these days don't want to be celibate the rest of their lives when they're 20.

303
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Yeah, no, I get it. Right.

304
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
I mean, it's no different.

305
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,000
We talked about this a while ago.

306
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:31,000
It's like HR departments and corporations are changing the rules about, you know, what you know, what they're trying to make the work environment because they're trying to attract the top talent for millennials and for Generation Z.

307
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:40,000
I mean, they're saying, you know, you know, I mean, they're changing all the guidelines and the standards because they want to attract the top talent because that's what these kids are expecting.

308
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
That's what they're wanting.

309
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,000
They want to go to the Google.

310
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
What does this happen?

311
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,000
When did this happen about the priest get married being celibate?

312
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
This is this last week.

313
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,000
They're considering changing some sort of rule about hasn't happened yet.

314
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
No, I think they're considering it.

315
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:15,000
So it says here advocacy group founded and formally led by a manual malingo, a former Catholic bishop from some some Bob Zambia MPN is a liberal Catholic organization called for relaxing the rules concerning marriage in the Latin Churches priesthood.

316
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Okay, well, that's marriage.

317
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
This one was just talking about being celibate.

318
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:27,000
So, I mean, I don't I'm hoping I mean, you're not supposed to have, you know, sex outside of marriage in the in the in the Christian faith.

319
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,000
But I don't know.

320
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:37,000
I don't know where they're going, but I will tell you that it is it is a often talked about thing about how liberal this pope is.

321
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
So I don't know.

322
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,000
But anyway, so yeah, I don't care either.

323
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000
I don't care either.

324
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000
That's the thing.

325
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Why do they?

326
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:53,000
I mean, I understand that they need to live in the church and you know, I understand based on like the sixteen hundreds of stuff like that.

327
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:05,000
They it was a it was a fraternity, you know, where essentially in you know, they needed these guys to be alone and not to be distracted and to focus on the Lord.

328
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,000
However, you know, you got to think what's really going on over there.

329
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,000
You know, I mean, think about it.

330
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:20,000
I mean, you know, I mean, you know, there's there's deviant behavior in every walk of life and there is no I'm looking at it from at a different lens here.

331
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:28,000
OK, so I'm going to bring up Woody Harrelson Saturday Night Live talking from, you know, just making a joke about the vaccine and the cartels.

332
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
I'm going to do something similar with religion a little bit.

333
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,000
You know, it's just like you just think about it.

334
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,000
You got all these Catholic churches all over the planet.

335
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Yes. And they're essentially collecting money to give to the pope.

336
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:50,000
I mean, a portion of it goes to the pope, but the vast majority of it goes to the local parish.

337
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:57,000
Well, OK. But yes, it just seems to me like it's a huge racket.

338
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Well, it depends on, you know, you have to know what they're doing with that money, but you never do.

339
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Well, I mean, it's no different than the church I go to.

340
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Right. I mean, lots of people are giving lots of money.

341
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,000
And it takes money to run programs.

342
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
It takes money to run gas.

343
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
You got buildings. You got to be.

344
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
No, no, no. I'm talking about ministries.

345
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Yeah. I mean, yes, you got your standard costs of running, running the building and all that kind of stuff.

346
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:26,000
But you also have ministries that you're that you're running ministries to help people with addictions,

347
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,000
ministries that help young couples make sure they're ready for marriage.

348
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,000
I get it. But there's a ton of ministries that you run.

349
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,000
You're you're you're you're sending money somewhere.

350
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000
And that, too, that rubs me wrong.

351
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Just a little bit that, you know, when it just to me, it's like a pyramid scheme.

352
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:54,000
It kind of it just seems to me like he's like the head mafia guy taking 10 percent for the big guy.

353
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
And you're talking explicitly about the Catholic.

354
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
But it's like it goes deeper than that.

355
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:06,000
It's just like, you know, the the churches, they're tax free, so they don't have to pay taxes.

356
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Right. Well, no religious entity does.

357
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Well, I didn't say Catholic. I just it just churches.

358
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
They don't have to pay taxes. I think that's bullshit.

359
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Well, let's think.

360
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
So that money has been donated to them.

361
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000
They don't. It's not for profit. Right.

362
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,000
So the money that they're given is has been taxed.

363
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:34,000
So why should a church be taxed again?

364
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,000
All right. So, OK, I get it.

365
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:46,000
There are other things that the churches do to generate money, sort of these glamorous.

366
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Up and coming churches that have these glorified, quote unquote, donation Starbucks when you walk into the door.

367
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Hi, I'd like an espresso double frappe, fucking decaf party with brown sugar.

368
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000
So these non-denominational churches.

369
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000
That'll be that'll be eighteen dollars and twenty eight cents.

370
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
And thank you for your donation. All right.

371
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:16,000
OK, hold on. So you're saying these are are are these are coffee shops being run by churches?

372
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:26,000
These are coffee shops that are in the foyer of the church collecting, quote unquote, donations that don't pay taxes.

373
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Fuck you. Bullshit.

374
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Call it what you want. But I mean, the church I go to just gives out coffee for free.

375
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Well, I get it. I don't know who's doing that.

376
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,000
I'm not saying they're all really. You don't know.

377
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Open your eyes, brother. You and I went to the same.

378
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Hold on, did we? I don't. Yes, we did.

379
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:55,000
We yeah, we did. We went to you and I went to a Bible study where they had that out in the front.

380
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Well, you know, it doesn't matter. They do is what I'm saying.

381
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Sure. They have they have these these concessions stands out in the front.

382
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,000
And when you everybody's looking for ways to to have people donate money.

383
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Sure. I don't have an issue with that. OK. But it's not a matter of donation.

384
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,000
I mean, these are run like businesses. To me, it just rubs me wrong.

385
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000
I just think that you look if you're going to donate, great.

386
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:27,000
That donation that you make should be tax free because it's a donation and it's a good feeling.

387
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,000
And that's what you should do.

388
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:35,000
However, there's infrastructure in there that's totally, you know, it's a racket.

389
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,000
I don't think you know what? I don't treat it any differently than a charity.

390
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Right. You got you got charities that that are, you know, they're tax free, right?

391
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Nonprofits, charities or nonprofit. Correct.

392
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000
And they and they have all sorts of fundraising things that they do.

393
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,000
They have balls and galas. Yep. And they and people donate money.

394
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,000
And then and guess what? There are charities that screw you.

395
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Like for every. Oh, yeah. There are every hundred dollars for every hundred dollars that is donated to them.

396
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:11,000
One dollar goes to the cause. That's why I always hated what I worked at.

397
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:17,000
I don't remember where I was at. They forced you to donate to United Way.

398
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000
You could either you could either do it to United Way or there's one other way.

399
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,000
You could do it through a company, through the company, it says, oh, and they have big fundraisers and drives.

400
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Hey, we have United Way is going to come and they're bringing in lunch based on your salary.

401
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Come down and pledge. Yeah. Based on your salary, you should be giving this.

402
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Oh, yeah. And they were they were pressuring pretty hard, especially especially if you were in leadership.

403
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Right. If you were a manager or senior manager or director, you were expected.

404
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,000
You were expected to donate to these United Way. Big dollar.

405
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:54,000
I don't I don't know. I shouldn't I shouldn't dog United Way. But they there are people that kind of watch these nonprofits and they report.

406
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:02,000
I mean, they they publish these reports that say, you know, out of a dollar, how much of that dollar goes to the cause.

407
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,000
So it's very small. It's in a lot of them is incredibly small.

408
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
And you know what, Sean, I'm not going to disagree with you. I think there are churches.

409
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:15,000
There are churches that fall into the same category. You see them spending money on private jets for their that's my bullshit.

410
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,000
They're bullshit. They're, you know, maybe a church. Right.

411
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Yeah. That creepy dude that was, you know, some, you know, talking about, you know, I had to buy that that million dollar plane.

412
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000
It was so cheap. I had to buy it. Right.

413
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Or that was God was that what God was calling me to to use that plane to reach more people.

414
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:41,000
And so I could change more hearts and I'm thinking, really, I think I can't fly coach. Right.

415
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Do the same thing. Yeah. And you know what?

416
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,000
The vast majority of priests do exactly that. That's the problem.

417
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Pastors and priests, they get a bad name because this jackass who's on TV, you know, he's flying around on a private jet.

418
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,000
They're there. It's in every organization. It's all the politics, too.

419
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,000
I mean, the way they generate their money, donate to my cause.

420
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:07,000
And, you know, it's every it's a red cross. It's every every organization out there.

421
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,000
But you know why? Because human nature. Well, it's human nature.

422
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:17,000
It's money and power corrupt. That's why you have these guys that are at the churches that are collecting them.

423
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,000
What is that little the pan that the donation time? What is it?

424
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:29,000
The tithe, right? You mean when they donate money, they pass around a dish to communion time, you know.

425
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Oh, in the Catholic Church. Yeah. When they hand around the little tithing, isn't it?

426
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,000
No, tithing. The word tithing is giving 10 percent of your salary to the church.

427
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:43,000
But they have the oh, it's called. Yeah.

428
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:48,000
It's when they pass the little guys, the guys that that run that program.

429
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:58,000
I mean, I have heard hundreds and hundreds of times those guys that run those programs are busted for stealing.

430
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
Skimming to skimming. Yeah, it's easy.

431
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Taking money out of the basket. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

432
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Awful. Yeah, there's one. There's a church in South Irving.

433
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:16,000
I was I was installing a sound system up there and I met some guy up there that he was like the leader of one of these groups.

434
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,000
And yeah, there's several groups within the church that do certain functions.

435
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
So I met him out there. He was like, yeah, we need the sound system changed.

436
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,000
These speakers changed out and we need a new sound board over here that might need up.

437
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:35,000
So I started installing a bunch of stuff and and then I go out back out there the next week to continue the work.

438
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,000
And the guys say, looks, it was St.

439
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Luke's in South Irving and they were like, oh, that guy's not here anymore.

440
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,000
They found out he was stealing thousands and thousands of dollars every week.

441
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,000
Really? Yeah. Just skimming off the top. That's just sick.

442
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,000
You know, they pass around the plate, you know, put your money in there and he would he would make all the guys offering.

443
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Yeah. Now it's called something else, but it's it is an offering.

444
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:04,000
But but there's another word that they were saying, but maybe it is an offering, you know, but it doesn't matter.

445
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:12,000
But whatever it is, he was my point is that there are so many broken links in the chain.

446
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Anywhere, though, dude. I mean, that's human. Yeah.

447
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:23,000
But I just power and money corrupt. I still believe it rubs me wrong that they get a free pass on the taxes.

448
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,000
You know, why do they get a free pass? I mean, why?

449
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000
You know what? Can dudes like us be a church? Sure.

450
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,000
We can be a nonprofit. Yeah. Not a church, but we'd be a nonprofit.

451
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000
We could be a nonprofit where we don't have to. We want to make money.

452
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,000
I'd rather make money. Yeah. If you don't pay taxes, we have a nonprofit. Is that right?

453
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,000
You don't pay taxes if you're a nonprofit. I believe you have to be.

454
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Was the one see your father once I was three five or three be the IRS comes after you.

455
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Right. So, yeah, I mean, I mean, that's there no different than nonprofit charities.

456
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:05,000
And nonprofit charities are no different than churches when it comes to corruption.

457
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Yeah. Well, whatever. I don't want to beat that up too much.

458
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000
It's just, you know, it's fresh for my mind. It just kind of bugs me.

459
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,000
But here's the thing. They don't I mean, churches. I mean, I know we should talk about it, but churches don't make money.

460
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,000
People donate money to their cause. I disagree.

461
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:27,000
So I disagree. And here's why I say I disagree, because you got those pompous ash up and coming churches.

462
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,000
And I say it like that because it's the same strain of church that they got.

463
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Oh, I got this fucking twenty million dollar car out in the front. Look what it is.

464
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,000
I got this. Oh, yeah. This twenty million dollar construction thing because we're going to be doing this.

465
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
We're going to be doing that. We're going to buy it. We're going to save money.

466
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,000
We've got I got a I got a fifty thousand dollar Corvette over here.

467
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,000
I got this and you got it lined up like a goddamn Price is Right show. Right.

468
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,000
And I'm like, what the fuck is this? You know, why aren't they paying taxes if they're doing shit like that?

469
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Who the fuck is this guy? Right. Yeah.

470
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:01,000
You know what you're talking about? You're talking about corrupt mega mega church like the Jim Baker.

471
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jim's swagger.

472
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,000
I don't know if Joel, whatever his name is. I don't know if he's corrupt.

473
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:15,000
I heard some negative spin for Reverend was just tipped in tip in the Tilted Tilted.

474
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Those guys are out there and they're always going to be out there.

475
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:24,000
I mean, you just have to trust, you know, you have to trust that that for the for the most part,

476
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:34,000
churches around the country and the world are doing doing what's right in terms of shepherding the spiritual health of their other parishioners.

477
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,000
All right. I mean, that's what it boils down to. And some of them don't.

478
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:47,000
There's a there's a documentary on HBO about a a church in Tennessee and it was run by a lady.

479
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:54,000
I can't remember what it is. And it was it was part could be could be Lawrence walk.

480
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:01,000
Right. And it is she got her start back in the I think late 80s.

481
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:07,000
She wrote a diet book based around church doctrine and stuff. And it did extremely well.

482
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,000
A diet like food like losing weight. OK.

483
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,000
And I'm trying to figure out whether this is HBO Max documentary.

484
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,000
And this lady, it kept growing and growing and growing.

485
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,000
And it's the Gwen Shamblin. Yes.

486
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Look at you. Anyway, I recommend it.

487
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:33,000
It's fascinating because on the surface, it looks like any other church. Right.

488
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Little, little strange. Right. Because a lot of it is geared toward weight loss.

489
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:43,000
And they expected their parishioners to lose weight. OK.

490
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,000
No one can be fat. Exceptionally weird. Yeah, she died.

491
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
God couldn't care less if you're fat or skinny. Right.

492
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Well, actually, that's not true. This was this was that this was baked into their their belief,

493
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,000
their core belief. Anyway, this lady is a was a nut job.

494
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:07,000
Watch this documentary and it's going to make you lose all faith and people.

495
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:12,000
You're just like what I think of and because they're interviewing parishioners and all brain.

496
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000
They even go. I know a lot of people are going.

497
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,000
How could you get wrapped up in this? Yeah.

498
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000
How could you not see through the bullshit? Yeah.

499
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,000
I was just a normal person working my normal job.

500
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,000
And they said the right thing at the right time.

501
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Well, that's no different than David Koresh.

502
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
That's no different than Scientology.

503
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Well, the church is still going. That's no different.

504
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Yeah, that's no different than than any charismatic person who who who's a HBO special.

505
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Yeah, I recommend it. It's fascinating.

506
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,000
And what's what's interesting down? God greed in the cult of a Gwynne Shamp.

507
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Well, that's the greed. Yeah. How many cults have we heard about?

508
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Well, that's the greed part is what made me think about it, because she lived in this mansion.

509
00:28:51,000 --> 00:29:00,000
Right. And had planes and dumped her husband, married another guy, tried to steal someone's daughter.

510
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:11,000
And she ended up her her new husband got his new pilot and they were flying to CPAC down in Miami to go see Trump.

511
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,000
They crash and they crash into a lake.

512
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Damn. They all died. Oh, like recently. Yeah.

513
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:23,000
I see Trump like 2020, 2021, 2021 is when she died.

514
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Damn. Just outside of sixty six years old. So I got to hear that hair.

515
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Oh, my God. It's like a Jimmy. She's a free popcorn hair.

516
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:36,000
She's a freak look at the way her hair is. They talk about that. Her hair is.

517
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,000
And she looks terrible. But they're like, yeah, no one could tell her.

518
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,000
Oh, yeah. But oh, I would have told her. But those lips got plus anyway.

519
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Anyway, if you can watch it, I recommend it. It's fascinating.

520
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Maybe Mr. Gwen Shamblin, Lara. You know, you know, it's frustrating.

521
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:05,000
To me, it seems pretty simple to recognize where a church leader and where a church has gone, gone sideways.

522
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:10,000
It's really not that hard to see. You know what I mean? Yep.

523
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:21,000
I mean, you I can also it's like you can you can get lost unbeknownst to yourself in the the it's like an addiction.

524
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:30,000
You know, you don't realize it's like, you know, when we go out and start drinking, you know, we don't realize until you like, oh, I'm drunk.

525
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Right. You know, like, oh, my God. And then you power through that and you're like.

526
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:49,000
I'm wasted. Well, that's kind of what a lot of the people said that and some of their doctrine was the kids have to obey their parents regardless, or any anyone older than them.

527
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,000
So they would have like all the kids would come and like other kids would watch because they're older.

528
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Technically, it could be a 12 year old watching a slew of eight year olds. Right.

529
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:04,000
And whatever that 12 year old said, you had to obey. Right. If you didn't. Well, there is repercussions.

530
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:11,000
And actually, there are two prisoners who killed their kid because they're beaten them and stuffed them in a little chest.

531
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,000
And he died. And they're insane. The church supported them.

532
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,000
That it's just insane. Got the lawyers and everything.

533
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:27,000
So anyway, if you could see it. So one of the one of the stories Jeff is referring to as a person, but Joseph and Sonia Smith were in here in inheritance of the Shamblin

534
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:44,000
and had an eight year old son, Joseph Sonia Joseph routinely disciplined him, beating him with a foot with foot long glue sticks, belts and heated coat hangers, locking him in confined spaces for extended periods of time.

535
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Yes, she she recommended glue sticks because they were pliable enough. They didn't leave the big bruises like something else would, I guess.

536
00:31:53,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, I have heard of, you know, chastisement. Right. I mean, there is a certain age.

537
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:13,000
There is a certain up to a certain age that you are supposed to, you know, supposed to correct your children with, you know, not necessarily beating them.

538
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,000
But, you know, there you swap them. Right.

539
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Of course, correcting. Right. Right. Right. But not after but not after a certain age. Like my understanding is, you know, we took all sorts of parenting classes when we first had our first kid and all that kind of stuff.

540
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:45,000
You know, if you are, if you're not supposed to be physical with your kids after like five or six years old, but up until that age, you know, it's okay to spank them to teach them, you know, to teach them, you know, right and wrong.

541
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:55,000
And yes, you're not supposed to use anything that could harm them. Like, you know, our parents used to like wooden spoons. Right. My dad would roll up a magazine. Yeah.

542
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:06,000
I my father, you know, is just one time, but he hit me hit me with a, you know, like a stick, like a board, you know, that hold on. Yeah. I think that's very two different things.

543
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:20,000
So it was like a two by four. Okay. Well, I'll go ahead and tell the story because it's actually kind of funny fucking Lincoln log. You know, you know how in in the north you have the sliding doors, right? The back doors. Correct. Is like a sliding door.

544
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Well, and you talk about like the pajamas, pajamas, patio door, back doors, like a patio door, like a patio door, sliding door. And then you would put like a stick down there to keep it locked. Right. Well, I had misbehaved and my father took that stick.

545
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:56,000
And it's the right, you know, it's perfect size. Right. It's it's meant for the sliding door. It's meant for an ass whooping. He came. Yes. But he was chasing me with it and I was running upstairs and he went to swap me and it hit the top of my head and broke.

546
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:16,000
And he was so upset because that was his sliding door. You know, now it doesn't work as a sliding door. It didn't hurt me at all. Right. It just cracked. I went here. Yeah. Cracked. Oh, no. God. No. No. I ran to my ran to my bedroom and hidden there for what probably seemed like a week.

547
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:39,000
But it was probably like an hour. Right. Anyway, but my point is, you know, you're yeah, you're supposed to spank with something pliable. Right. Something that causes a sting. But but can never get a break the skin. Anything. My dad get fine. I mean, he's cracked me over the head with a fucking with a with a broom once. Right. Just crowned me six digits.

548
00:34:39,000 --> 00:35:08,000
You know, nowadays, you know, parents are terrified to to to to touch their kids, to spank their kids. I mean, if they're in the grocery store and they and they swap their kid on the but they get reported for for child abuse. It's absolutely insane. You know, you know, I'm going to wrap this up with with this whole church thing. And it's just like I want to support churches. You know, I grew up going to church. I don't go to church anymore for my own reasons, which I've explained in some prior podcasts. But at this point, you know, I'm not going to go to church anymore.

549
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:24,000
At this point, you know, I have like currently with my job, I deal with churches a lot. And it's it's frustrating because of all the people that the customers, I should say that I take care of and try to do a really good job to take care of them.

550
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Churches are the like the worst, the hardest, the hardest to work with. They're they're hard to work with because it's like it's it's like they want everything for free.

551
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:52,000
They want more than they're supposed to get. You know, well, why can't I get this? I was like, well, because it's not covered or, you know, it's just like, you know, it's like I'm doing one right now where they're claiming something happened to.

552
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,000
They're claiming that the concrete got damaged from water.

553
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:14,000
Okay. There is an oil based epoxy on top of concrete oil based. I wonder if it's because they I mean, I know this is going to be contrary to what you've been saying, but maybe they're a little more sensitive about the money.

554
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:24,000
So they are trying to get as much as they can possibly get. But that falls into under conniving. You know, I mean, I know that's not right. It's it's absolutely not right.

555
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:36,000
So they're trying to get something that they don't deserve. And I'm like, dude, come on. I mean, if this were any other place, I mean, I mean, I got an engineer out there and they were just like, it's oil based.

556
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:43,000
You know, if that coating is coming up and it's only a year old, it has nothing to do with water.

557
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:58,000
But think about it from their perspective. All the money they get is donated to them. So if they don't get this claim to where, you know, it's completely covered, they are going to have to ask for more money from their parishioners or they're going to have to just eat it.

558
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:06,000
I don't care. Well, I know. I know you don't care, but I'm just I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of a nonprofit or church.

559
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:20,000
But the problem I have with that is that I don't care. I mean, nobody should care. I get it. They're asking for it's like, OK, look, I dropped a 12 pack of beer on the ground. Right. Why do I have to give you a case back? Right.

560
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:38,000
No, no, no. I mean, come on, man. Fairness is fairness. Right. And it's just it. And look, it's just it's not just that church. It's like almost all of them that are like this. It's the same thing with all of them. It is sad. You know, it's just like, you know, and they get some of their buddies in there.

561
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:51,000
And it's it's just it gets conniving. And I never used to think like this. I think I think there are some things in life where your job has made you a little more skeptical of churches because of your experience.

562
00:37:51,000 --> 00:38:05,000
We don't have that. And old ladies. Yeah. Oh, ladies. Oh, ladies. Right. I have my actually old church ladies, you know, in my work. I have opinions about certain things because I have to work with certain companies and certain things.

563
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:18,000
And Paul, you same way you got things that you have. You're just like, man, this is bullshit. Right. Right. They're all the same. Yeah. You know, it's whatever. But, you know, I think it's all our experiences. You're exposed to something that you hadn't seen before.

564
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:33,000
So now you've got some some bad feelings about it. It's like behind the scenes kind of stuff. You know, Paul or I started working with that every day. We may have the same opinion at that point. Right. You know, we don't see it. You do. Yeah, I do.

565
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:52,000
And I'm having conversations with them. You know, OK, I'll give you one little snippet. OK, there is it doesn't even necessarily need to be about churches. It just so happened to be part of the church. But there is a company out there and they've got do they call it equipment management manager equipment manager.

566
00:38:52,000 --> 00:39:10,000
This is a guy that will wheel in a dehumidifier or box fan or whatever the fuck they need. And his job was to wheel it in and set it up, plug it in the wall, make sure it's aimed the right way, document it and then leave.

567
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Then he comes back, checks moisture readings, make sure everything's aimed still the right way and leave after like three or four or five days after everything's dried. He takes the equipment, removes it, cleans it and then puts it into storage.

568
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:41,000
All right. Three hundred and forty six dollars and fifty cents an hour. Why is what this guy makes? That's what they're trying to charge.

569
00:39:41,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Oh, the restoration company. Yes. And you're like, no, they were like, well, it was Christmas and the whole time, the whole time the device was there every hour from the from the moment the justice service time, justice service time, just while he was there doing it. So it'd be like a two hour setup time, an hour every day.

570
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:16,000
And then then like four or five hours at the end to clean everything up, which. It's come on. Right. They're paying that dude fifteen dollars an hour. Shut the front door. Right. You know, come on.

571
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:37,000
You know, three hundred and forty six dollars and fifty cents in. You know what? They get away with it. Right. The carrier will end up paying for that stuff sometimes. And it's so to me that it's not. That's the reason why. And that's that is a microcosm of the of the reasons why our insurance is so high.

572
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:55,000
Right. Is that the I believe that the insurance realm is falling into this this thing where they're starting to pick up the tab on all this shit because there's so much pushback. You got public adjudged. You got all these entities that are pushing back and and filing these lawsuits against the insurance companies.

573
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:04,000
And they're scared. Right. They're just like, fuck man, we have to bend a little bit or we're going to get screwed in the long run. It's no it's no different than the medical system. Yeah.

574
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:16,000
I mean, look how much they charge for some of these drugs. I mean, yes, it's all the same. It's all a racket. It's all a racket because everybody there's so many hands in the pot and everybody's making their making the bank.

575
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:30,000
You know what I mean? Everybody. It's just it's a racket. We hear about some of these drugs. There's an Alzheimer's drugs. That's ten thousand dollars a month. Why on? Seriously? Doesn't work. Why? I don't know. I mean, I don't know.

576
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Why would it cost ten thousand dollars a month? You know, a lot a lot of times people tell me, you know, when you go to the doctor and you see the doctor for forty five seconds and then you it's one hundred and forty dollars for seeing them for forty five seconds.

577
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:51,000
You know, you're not paying them for the time that they spent with you. You're paying them for their expertise and schooling. I paid them the previous three years for that.

578
00:41:51,000 --> 00:42:02,000
I agree. I agree. But that's what people kind of rationalize that they're like you're playing for their expertise and stuff like that. So I don't know if that's you know, and I think it's I think that's BS personally.

579
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:19,000
You know, but but you know, maybe that's you know, for it for a restoration company to stay in business and for them to invest all the capital in all the equipment that it takes to dry the walls and blow the little fans and have a dude and have I know I know I know what I'm saying.

580
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:27,000
I don't agree with what I'm saying, but you see where I'm going with this. Yeah. You're playing devil's advocate and I get it. But it's still it's still bullshit. You got to think about it.

581
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:33,000
That three hundred four who makes that much money. Lawyers don't make that much money. Doctors don't make that much money.

582
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:40,000
You know, sure as hell do. Lawyers do. Oh, I'm just saying, look, think about it. Well, I'm OK. Maybe that was a bad analogy.

583
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:54,000
But I think about like electricians, plumbers, you know, guys that are masters, master plumbers, last year electricians, they don't make that much money. No. Why is this dude out of high school charging three hundred forty six dollars and fifty cents now to go there?

584
00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:02,000
Was that are you saying that happens like every time somebody comes out with a restoration company or that was a bullshit claim that you had to know?

585
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:11,000
No, not every time that was one off some guy trying to get away. It happens a lot. It happens a lot and it usually happens with mitigation companies.

586
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:23,000
You know, these guys, you know, I just especially during the holidays. Well, it anytime, anytime there's a catastrophe, you know, in the word, the word that I'm driving at is gouging.

587
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Yeah. OK. It's against the law to gouge. Right. All right. So when you take a catastrophe and you charge two and three and five times the amount of money that you would during the normal time, you know, you can't. That's against the law.

588
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:43,000
It's called gouging. Yep. And that's exactly what they're doing. So why don't they respect that word gouging? Because that's what they're doing.

589
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:50,000
Well, how do you report someone like that? Well, I just deny it. I mean, I mean, first of all, I don't have the authority to deny anything.

590
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:55,000
My job is to report back to the care of the carriers and just say, you recommend.

591
00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:05,000
I make my recommendations. Hey, look, this is what we found, you know, based on what we believe it is likely that it should cost about this much to we don't know where the fuck they got that number from.

592
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:11,000
But this is how much it should cost, we believe, you know, and then, you know, then they they will make their decision.

593
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:21,000
It's been overturned a lot lately, especially in its your recommendations. You mean when our rec? Yes.

594
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:32,000
When especially when it's like a really high claim, like if it's a five hundred thousand dollar one or higher, you know, it's just like they want it.

595
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:51,000
They want it. They're afraid to to to rock the boat, you know, and I asked I asked these people specifically like the the the guys that are my mentors, you know, and the guys that are training me and even their mentors, you know, to to really understand the spirit of what's going on behind that.

596
00:44:51,000 --> 00:45:03,000
And they just, you know, it all boils down to like, yeah, they're just scared. They don't want to be sued. You know, it's going to cost them less money to keep this out of courts than to just pay them to.

597
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:09,000
That's the whole premise of frivolous lawsuit settlements. That's why people bring these frivolous lawsuits.

598
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:21,000
They know that a company is more willing to pay out two hundred thousand dollars than to spend six hundred thousand dollars fighting fighting the the the the lawsuit in court. Correct.

599
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:27,000
Well, it's also so that's what they do. They went ahead and they just file these things hoping to get settlements.

600
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:42,000
It's kind of kind of like the insurance companies. I just read an article about these EVs and we may have talked about this where insurance companies are jacking up the insurance premiums for battery cars, electric vehicles, because because in ten years.

601
00:45:42,000 --> 00:46:01,000
No, because they have to total cars who have very minimum damage to it because if the because if the battery case has a scratch on it, they have to total the car because they have to replace the whole battery for twenty thousand dollars.

602
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,000
Right.

603
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Because the EV companies, all the car companies will not allow these insurance companies to see the diagnostics to see if the batteries are still good and they don't want to take the risk to say this battery is good.

604
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Then something happened. So what they do is they total the car. It may have two thousand miles on it and a scratch on the bumper scratch, but it did something to maybe it scratched the casing of the battery.

605
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,000
Right. Everything inside is one hundred percent fine. They don't know that.

606
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:55,000
Wonder if there's a way to convert those cars. They can't test it. So they say a lot of these electric vehicles are getting totaled very low mileage and they're starting to line up in these junk yards and they're removing the batteries and they're having to stick them in these containers because they don't have anywhere to put them.

607
00:46:55,000 --> 00:47:04,000
Yeah. And didn't you say that that that the battery the batteries have a life shelf life.

608
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,000
Sure. Yeah. Yeah.

609
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:12,000
And so people are. And what what what is the shelf life like 10 years 15 years.

610
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Well I think it's by mileage right by by charges as well.

611
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:29,000
So I mean don't people know is it is it a secret that that when you buy a Tesla you should expect to spend fifteen thousand dollars replacing the battery pack people don't think about after 10 years.

612
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,000
Is that true though. Is that true.

613
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:35,000
And well until the batteries get better. Yeah.

614
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,000
I mean because I've had my car since 2006.

615
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:50,000
Yeah. So you're telling me you're telling me that if if that had been an EV car I would have had to have spent 10 to 15 thousand dollars for a new battery for a new battery.

616
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:57,000
The every Tesla that that I see on the road electric car facing this is a fruitless venture.

617
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:10,000
I think electric cars is a is a is something cool that you know some people should have you know not everyone. And I don't think people should use it all the time.

618
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:24,000
I just it's a novelty electric cars because at the end of the day at the end of the year at the end of the world fossil energy is the way to go period.

619
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:29,000
I mean it's it costs it costs so much to harvest the materials.

620
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:34,000
We're not there yet for for batteries. It's just it's ridiculous compared to fossil fuels.

621
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Absolutely. And at the end of the day again you are you have a less of a carbon footprint using the regular standards to to get the fossil fuels.

622
00:48:46,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Right. Well they say that you have to drive the electric vehicle tens of thousands of miles to negate the footprint that it created when they created the car plus to get the batteries to get the batteries and the creation of the car.

623
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:09,000
There's like you have to drive it 80,000 miles. I made that number up 80,000 miles before you get that paid off.

624
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,000
You even like get back to zero.

625
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:16,000
Right. By that time your batteries during the life of the next 20,000 miles you're going to have to replace it.

626
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:21,000
But they said what's happening is these cars as they get into these little accidents.

627
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:25,000
They're not even getting close to that threshold.

628
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:30,000
So they're like it's actually worse for the environment. These electric vehicles.

629
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:42,000
For just you know where to store these batteries. Yeah they they don't they don't know what to do with them. Yeah there's they need to launch them into the sun.

630
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Oh yeah. But what if that what if that rocket blows up three miles up. You know you know the cost of building a rocket that goes to the sun would cost you know heavy those batteries would be you stack them in there.

631
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:05,000
But anyway what a mess. This does that's the problem with all this woke climate change and green energy and all this kind of they don't think about this stuff built.

632
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,000
It's a house of cards. I mean it's it's it's it's phantom.

633
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:13,000
They said what's happening is well some of the comments I was reading some of the comments as well.

634
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:19,000
But they said you know there's all these hidden costs that make it like two vehicles very expensive.

635
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Right. And by the way they're being subsidized by the government. Correct. Which means they're not even like you can't even sell them on the market in a regular right.

636
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:36,000
You know capitalist society model as electric prices keep going up. The cost to charge your vehicles going up. Yep.

637
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:41,000
The insurance rates are going up because insurance companies are losing their ass on them right now.

638
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,000
So the insurance rates it's going to cost you an arm and a leg to insure these things.

639
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:58,000
You have to replace the battery and they also well some of the comments were like I think electric vehicles should pay a tax every year because they're not paying the road tax when they buy fuel.

640
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:10,000
But they're using the same roads we are and they're heavier which makes the roads degrade faster and makes those vehicles more dangerous on the road.

641
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:17,000
Correct. In wrecks. Right. So they're sleeping while they're driving. No because they're heavy. Oh yeah that too. Right. They're heavy.

642
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:25,000
They're like they're heavy vehicles with sleeping drivers. Yes. Right. And Elon Musk addressed that. Which breaks the road down faster.

643
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:32,000
Unbelievable. So they're not paying that road tax the gas tax that everyone else is to keep the upkeep the roads.

644
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:41,000
To upkeep the roads. So there is there is kind of some arguments going to lay if you have an EV there should be an extra tax at the end of the year a road tax saying we're all paying it.

645
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:52,000
You should pay it as well. Amazing. Agreed. I mean it's a hefty tax too by the way. Yeah. I mean if you think about gallon how much of that you know you break down the denominations.

646
00:51:52,000 --> 00:52:03,000
Oh a fair a fair amount of it's going to be federal. Yeah. I want to say is it like 40 percent goes to the road. I don't know. I don't know how much it is but it's it's not insignificant.

647
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:13,000
So it's fascinating when you when you break down everything that goes into it and how it is a bad thing for the environment.

648
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:23,000
And they said that it's almost impossible. There's very few places who know how to replace the battery. Well what about this. What if they were to take the batteries.

649
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:41,000
And it's it's probably very labor intensive. Is there is a here ringing. That's my watch. Oh so there's a labor it may be labor intensive but is there a way to repurpose the batteries not necessarily in another vehicle.

650
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:54,000
But are you able to take those the batteries and chop them up and maybe put them in phones or no that I like lights. I think the best opportunity is to take all those batteries and hook them up to stationary bikes at Jim's.

651
00:52:54,000 --> 00:53:06,000
Yes. Yes. And then all the people that are on the stationary bikes are charging the batteries. So to create a never ending grid backup.

652
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:18,000
One of the things that I also read this article is the Tesla's new ones that are built down there in Austin. The batteries are part of the structure so they can't even be removed.

653
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:29,000
They are glued to the structure to give it rigidity. Right. So it's part of the structure. So you can't. So if you get the wreck it's going to damage it even more. Right.

654
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:39,000
So and you just can't go in there and replace those because they're permanently on there. Yes they've glued them down and they did this. They did this to save money.

655
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:47,000
Yeah but they know that those batteries at some point are going to need to be replaced. They're passing that to the customer down the road. They saved money building their their car like this.

656
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:55,000
Elon Musk Elon Musk says we can save how much 10 percent by building our frame and our batteries like this so they're all it's one.

657
00:53:55,000 --> 00:54:06,000
I'm sure it's a it's it's like a cartridge and he know it's no they're not cartridges and he's getting thousands of batteries and he's getting government subsidies to build these cars anymore.

658
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:32,000
He paid that back. In fact he wasn't even he wasn't even invited to the electric car annual bill. Joe Biden had come up with this electric car electric vehicle the EV place and Elon Musk was saying man I wasn't even invited because he was he would dog Joe Biden in his tweets.

659
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:43,000
You know that Tesla Tesla stock was booted out of some ESG hedge fund even though it's an electric car company. Right.

660
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:50,000
They got booted out of the ESG had a too low of an ESG score. Whatever. And that's when Elon Musk was railing on.

661
00:54:50,000 --> 00:55:06,000
Oh man he continues he's kind of like you know we weren't even invited to that that annual EV car thing that Biden created. It is like you know they made like Ford the spokesman. He's like Ford has like one hundred or two hundred cars they put out.

662
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:15,000
We've have like a hundred thousand were putting out a year and and it was all political. Oh absolutely. Yeah. One hundred percent. Wow.

663
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:26,000
You know it just he's just like that just shows that he's just like that shows you everything. It's all bullshit. It's all bullshit. It's all politics and show and dog and pony show. That's all it is.

664
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:36,000
It is. I mean and this whole Trump this whole Biden you know vetoing the ESG.

665
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:47,000
And it passed both houses both bipartisan bipartisan agreement was I haven't read was his reasoning on why he was saying he was.

666
00:55:47,000 --> 00:56:02,000
Yeah he was saying that the GOP is trying to it is trying to restrict he tried to change. He tried to turn around and say you know they're trying to restrict Americans ability to invest invest in responsible company.

667
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:18,000
He brought up something about corporate leaders making money is what you talked about. He was sitting on his desk. So pull up the CV pull up videos. He was sitting on his desk. He was fucking whispering painful.

668
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:26,000
Did you see the footage where the reporters in the White House press room were fighting with each other. Yeah.

669
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:38,000
It's the it's the African. Yes it's the African. Oh yeah. The guy from from South Africa. Yeah he's been very upset for quite a long time. He's never called on all seven months. Yeah he never gets called on.

670
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:55,000
Well she doesn't like his tough questions. Right. So yeah she doesn't want to answer and she knows that no one's going to hold her accountable for ignoring him but she still has to call on Doocy from Fox News because they know that that is a the most watched cable television show on TV.

671
00:56:55,000 --> 00:57:09,000
So she has to call on him but she doesn't have to call on the South African dude. Yeah. Yeah crazy. That'd be frustrating. I get it. You're there to do a job and he she knows I'm sure his arms up he has questions and he never gets called on.

672
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:21,000
And then they were yelling like decorum decorum. You know did you get to watch it. Let's let's watch the the Trump ones when he's that dumb ass who would not sit down. Yes. What was his name.

673
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:35,000
He wrote a book and everything was about him him. Here's the CNN guy. Yeah I mean about decorum. Come on. Yeah. What was his name. But Trump called on him. He did. But then he wasn't scared.

674
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:44,000
But then he wanted to this guy wanted to keep asking you want to do you're done. You're done. And he wouldn't he wouldn't he wouldn't give in. Yep.

675
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:52,000
I remember I can't remember the guy's name though. Such a jackass. What was that guy's name.

676
00:57:52,000 --> 00:58:08,000
Obnoxious. Just look up obnoxious CNN reporter. You'll find it right away. Jim Acosta Jim Acosta. Yeah. Is he still around. Is he doing anything. He is around. Well he has his own show now. I think he's not. He's not. Yeah. He's not a reporter anymore.

677
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:24,000
I think he's got his own CNN or MSNBC show. But I may be wrong on that. I'm surprised Don Lamont is still. Yeah. His own his own staff was attacking him. And he still managed to. I mean he's a gay black man.

678
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:37,000
He checks. Yeah I guess I guess he's allowed to do whatever the hell he wants. He checks boxes. Well it's too bad we can't find it. So basically he was he was sitting at the Oval Office at his desk and he was he was he was he was talking about.

679
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:58,000
His decision and he kind of spoke. Remember when he was sitting in that one meeting where he was talking about. Well God damn it. I fired him or you know I say hey look you have until the end of of today or before my plane takes off the tarmac to find that lawyer.

680
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:13,000
Right. You know he had the same kind of the way he was talking. Oh the Ukrainian lawyer. Yeah. You know for the the the oil company. Yeah. Burisma. So yeah the lawyer that wanted to go though the attorney general that wanted to go after.

681
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:43,000
Go is my Ukraine. Click that. That was so corrupt. Well he's well there's a lot of shit right now because they're getting some bank. Oh there is. Click it. Just let that play. They're getting some bank records. Yeah. They're going after the Biden family. See that. That's the picture right there. That's what he was. Well I'm not going to show the video. Well he basically he he talks about it there and elaborates a little bit. But he says it in a creepy creepy way like he's. I know better than you. Yeah. I mean he's a

682
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:58,000
good guy. Well I mean even like I was saying on the on the five Robert Gutfield or is it a name. Yeah. Gutfield was like you know Greg. Greg Gutfield he was like what does he have a sleeping baby in the room. He what he'd want to talk loud enough or is he loud.

683
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:13,000
Well were there were there golfers playing through or you can come up with these ideas. Just weird. It is just is there a way you can hit play right there. Just wonder why they won't show this because it's not flattering maybe.

684
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:30,000
The past Congress would put a risk retirement savings of individuals across the country. They couldn't take into consideration investments that wouldn't be impacted by climate impacted by overpaying executives. And that's why I decided to be told to me.

685
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:39,000
Yeah. There you go. In a sense that's what it was. The decisions that we're making was it was going to impact the climate and it was going to overpay executives. That's what I got out of that. Yeah.

686
01:00:39,000 --> 01:01:02,000
He's an idiot. Yeah. He was saying he he was blaming the GOP for CEOs richer. Yeah. Preventing Americans from investing in companies that have high ESG scores which those are the companies that are contributing to helping solve the climate

687
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:16,000
change problem. So he's saying and instead of you know instead of investing in those companies they want to invest in companies that make corporate executives rich.

688
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:24,000
That's just that anybody who has a brain you make the executives rich you make everyone else right. I'm going to do a 90 degree turn. But anybody who's got a brain.

689
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:42,000
Hey I'm going camping in April. All right. My birthday is coming up April 1st or April 2nd. I want to go there and get backyard. You can't not quite the same fire pit and you could burn some styrofoam.

690
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:50,000
No I want to go man. I want to go for I want to drive out there I want to spend the night I want to spend two nights in three days out there.

691
01:01:50,000 --> 01:02:03,000
My April's pretty booked. Well you don't have to go. I want to say I want to go. I want to go. Still going to be it should be cold in April. I want it to be cold. I want to be a little cold. Oh you do. Yeah.

692
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:16,000
We've decided to do something interesting for the cabin. You know how we've always been talking about hey we're going to Colorado. Yeah. We're going to go up there for two or three weeks and we're going to just invite whoever wants to come at certain times.

693
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:27,000
Yeah. What is this. Come on up. We're looking at me. Oh well I want to go camping in April. Maybe I'll do something in May.

694
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:37,000
Going to Vegas in May. Oh why are you going to Vegas. Stephen's 21st birthday. Oh shit. Get ready to drop some bank. Yeah.

695
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:47,000
Brandon can't go. Those are like eighteen dollar drinks. We were bar hopping in Vegas. They give you this little tiny cup and it's like eighteen dollars a drink.

696
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:51,000
A lot of the weekends fool.

697
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:59,000
I've got Stephen's girlfriend has something in April ring dunk. You know what that is.

698
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:11,000
I don't even think it's more like a weekend. Well we got that's one weekend and then we have the masquerade ball that we're all going to one weekend.

699
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:22,000
We all. Yes. Like me. Yes. I'm not going to masquerade ball. Yes you are. But why. What's your ticket. Two hundred fifty bucks. I'm not going for you.

700
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:31,000
Open bar. Oh oh oh what. Yes. OK. Yeah. Am I invited. Yes. Shelly bought tickets. You don't remember all that. Oh I'm going to. Yes.

701
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:41,000
Who open bar. I'm going. We're all going. Nice masquerade. Look here's the deal. I'm going in April. All right. Period.

702
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:56,000
I'm sick of it. So I will buy a fucking hammock tent and I will stay out there by myself and Palo Duro Canyon. And yes. OK. I will buy some peyote and get.

703
01:03:56,000 --> 01:04:04,000
You ever done peyote. Never. I have no idea what it is. Peyote. That's like the Indian. It's like a sort of cactus yucca Indian mass. I have no idea.

704
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:14,000
It's a hallucinogen isn't it. I guess I don't think I'm not doing peyote. I just shrooms just throwing that out there. I'm not. No there's no way I'll do that. Why.

705
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:24,000
Why. Why go all the way out there. Why not just go to like Lake. Joe Poole. Yeah. Joe Poole Lake. Why can't I go to Palo Duro Canyon. It's like six or five hours.

706
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:38,000
Now it's four and a half hours. OK. Four and a half hours. I don't have a problem going out to Palo Duro Canyon. OK. I mean I know you've been talking about it for a long time. I'm just saying if you want to do like a camp out somewhere.

707
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:57,000
Breakman Rats. You could go over. You could go visit the Pygmies at the corner of Main Street and Hillcrest. I want I want to do something but I'm April's tough for me. So weekend wise we need to do this with more things and say this is what we're doing.

708
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:13,000
Hopefully we have telling you guys. Well I know this is an extended period. This is the first time I've ever heard you talk about your full shit. Well it ain't you're right. It's actually freezing cold. Well no there's it's it's it's five hours and forty seven minutes. Yes.

709
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:29,000
I was going to say there's so many closer places you can camp like in your backyard in Lake Ray Hubbard. Oh my God. Why can't I go to Palo Duro Canyon. It's like the second largest canyon on the planet next to Grand Canyon. You want to do that by yourself.

710
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:43,000
You know what if you guys can't make time then I'm going to go. I'm tired of putting it off. Are you hearing this Jeff. He's being all he's laying down an ultimatum here. You don't have to go. This is this is blackmail. I will. You know what.

711
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:59,000
I've talked to my son. He's my anniversary. I'm actually looking forward to it. Well we just need to figure it out. I need to get all my dates that I'm unavailable in April that try to work something out. I may be busy. We talk about our right whiskey.

712
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:13,000
Whiskey. Yeah. Do you like it. I hear music. We already talked about the right. Well we've been a hurry up and touch it because I hear music. It is redemption. High Rye Bourbon. So ours is a hundred. It's a Rye Bourbon.

713
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:41,000
It's not that it's got a little bit of a fight that I I'm not really a fan of has some good good spells. All right there we go. There's the bourbon. Sean what do you think of it real quick. It was OK. It was just OK. You can definitely taste the right. It was definitely right.

714
01:06:41,000 --> 01:07:04,000
It was just OK. I mean it's a give it a five and a half. I mean it's not that this was like a hundred four hundred five. But I mean I'm not mad at it. It just was OK. I agree. It would have been better if it were like one hundred sixteen. I'm going to send that from a proof standpoint. I'm just saying it from a taste perspective.

715
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:24,000
But you know whatever redemption is redemption is a high quality bourbon. Yeah it is. They have a quite a line. And it's a high Rye Bourbon which we would never ever like before. Right. We're like oh it's the weed bourbon especially on the planet.

716
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:52,000
Magic. We're starting to explore different options going on. Well Paul why don't you stand. All right. Well thank you for joining us tonight. My name is Paul. Geez. I'm Jeff. Sean. It was terrible. It was terrible. And thank you. It's March 21st. 21st. Second day of spring. God bless. Doesn't feel like spring. That's right. I'm digging it though. This is a good one.

717
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:57,000
I'm digging it though. This is spring. I don't want to go back. I love the cold. All right. Late.
