Man, you're ready to roll, aren't you?
He's like, I got shit to do tonight.
He's like, yo, bitch.
Yeah, I love how he comes downstairs and is like...
Two minutes.
It's 8.59, guys.
Are you ready?
Yeah, our producer is copping some attitude tonight.
Yeah, well, he's...
We're going to have to have a group meeting about this.
Rightfully so, man. He's challenged. He's got a lot of stuff going on.
He's got summer. He's graduated. He's got college coming up.
You know, college screwed him for the summer courses.
I mean, this is how ridiculous it is.
He was wanting to sign up for online classes.
And they pumped the brakes on the whole program, said, you need a meningitis shot.
Meningitis?
For online courses.
No, no, no, no. If you're going to get enrolled in the program, you need to have the shots.
And so, you know...
But not meningitis. You're talking about like a standard set of vaccines.
Meningitis is one of them.
No, it isn't. Is it really?
Yeah.
Like measles and mumps and meningitis.
I believe meningitis is a bacterial infection of your spinal fluid, isn't it?
Yeah, and you can get it from lake water or whatever.
That's brain amoeba.
Well, regardless...
I thought that was the same thing.
It just seems kind of silly that you're signing up for an online class and you get dinged over...
And this is my fear with the whole vaccine shit.
Is that they're going to do the same thing. They're going to be like, yeah, you can't do anything.
You can't do anything.
Well, but there are some states like Texas and Florida have already said, don't go there.
Yeah, but this is in Texas. And this did happen.
Well, you can do an exemption for anything.
But this is an online class.
Did you know you can do an exemption?
Well, whatever. So the point is, I'm just saying they did not allow him to move forward with the program,
even though there were online classes. Ridiculous.
So anyways, the producers, he's got stuff going on. So hopefully we'll get this taken care of. I think he can go...
You can do an exemption. We did one for Dawson at Arkansas.
How does that work?
He doesn't have all the shots.
How does that work?
You get a doctor's note, right?
That's right.
What does the doctor's note say?
You just have to... It's not a doctor's note.
You just have to claim to the Department of Immunization for the state of Arkansas that you are claiming an exemption
because you just don't want to do those shots.
And so they grant you that exemption and then you give it to the University of Arkansas and you register.
That's what we did because he does not have all of his shots.
How long did that take to process?
They were going to mail me something and I didn't hear anything for like a week.
And then I called them back and was like, can't you just email it to me?
And they're like, yeah.
I'll scoop you that, right?
I'll tell you what, people are just idiots. Actually, administration people are just idiots.
I literally was like, so that was an option to email it from the beginning and you didn't do that?
Anyway, so they emailed it to me and I had it 10 minutes later.
So in other words, had I done that from the get go, it would have been it would have I would have handled it in two hours.
Didn't cost anything.
I know. No, we didn't have to pay anything.
That's Arkansas. You pay for registration.
Well, I mean, yeah, the exception has no cost, I think.
But we're paying a fortune to send them to the University of Arkansas.
That's correct. Correct.
Interesting. Yes. Fascinating.
All right. Well, we'll have our shit together for I don't even know if the second.
Do you have to sign up for that? Because the second one already started.
The first session was in June.
The second session started today or tomorrow. Really?
Correct. God bless.
And then there'll be a couple of weeks off and then fall session will start.
So, I mean, how soon does he need to do we need to get lined up for the fall session?
Last October. I mean, really too late.
The springtime. I told you that before. I was like registration for the fall.
And it was the beginning of May, I believe. It's already been happening.
All right. So I'm not saying you can't, but you're going to be limited on classes and times.
All right. Well, I guess we need to take care of that shot and see what else is lined up.
Yeah. Yeah. He'll be able to get in. It's just a matter of he'll be taking like it could be all.
It could be all 8 a.m. classes out in McKinney. Right.
So doesn't mean he'll get classes here at this one.
He may there's a campus in McKinney that he can find classes as well.
There's four campuses, I believe, for college. Yeah, I didn't know that.
Early bird gets the worm. It is. So that's the thing.
And it's all about knowing, being aware, like knowing the deadlines and knowing when this opens and that opens.
And Shelley has always been frustration with kids. Well, she's been a beast at that.
She knows when she gets on their asses and she's like, you need to register and you need to the deadline is this.
I mean, she's she's on top of it. Yeah. And somebody's got to be on top of it.
That's the problem. I do the same. I tried and I got I got pushed down because, you know.
Because you're a white male middle. I guess. I don't know. Racist.
I don't know. It's kind of strange, you know, try to help.
And then it's just, you know, it gets shut down and then and now he's not signed up for his classes.
That kind of fucking sucks. Well, there you have it. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's you have to be early.
I mean, what you what you should do is download the twenty one twenty two calendar.
It'll have all those dates. Oh, yeah. For sure.
Because you because you need to register for the winter session, probably October ish.
That's my guess. Right. And a September, October, you have to be signed up for the winter session.
That information is readily available. Yeah, I live web. I looked and they didn't really have a whole lot of that information.
You go to the administration office. Yeah. So I am having what they call right now.
I don't know if it's a real thing, but I ate too many pork grinds, grinds, the run is that she to run is I ate too much of them.
So what's happening is called it's a syndrome where your stomach turns inside out.
Oh, is that like your penis when you get your like a secret exchange?
Yeah, it's called the sex change effect, except it's an internal.
It's internal because it's your stomach. It turns inside out and makes it's very uncomfortable.
So is that the pork rinds is kind of coagulating and solidifying.
I have no idea what's going on in there, but it's unsettling.
I say, put the microphone to your stomach and let's take a listen.
I'm not sure. It's more like it's a disruption in the chakra of the body.
It's like, hum, it's more like a wheel that's like off center on a car.
It's like, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. If your stomach could talk to you right now, you would say, you asshole.
I hate you to say an entire pig's skin. Get out. Learn moderation.
You fuck. I'll tell you what, when I go down to when I go down to Mexico City,
they don't eat chips and salsa down there. They bring out chicken.
Ron is she but they're huge. She just runs. She runs around.
Is she all right to stop?
Start Chef Boyardee by Chef Boyardee. What?
But they're huge. They're really like these huge slices of skin that they slice off.
They're like sting guards. They just yeah, they are. They're huge.
What are they? Chikarones. But they're huge.
They bring those out with guacamole and stuff. They don't bring out chips and salsa.
But they'll bring out a hockamole and these humongous shin sized pig skin.
And they're fabulous. Interesting. That's good.
How are they seasoned? They're not. They're not. They're just raw.
They're pig fat. Correct. Pig skin. Yes. Pig skin.
That reminds me of a horrible story I have. I went to Puerto Rico and we,
my father-in-law rented a house near the beach. It was a fantastic experience.
And then we go to Costco. No, we went to a grocery store.
We went to a grocery store and they told me as part of the list to get chips and queso.
So I went there to get corn chips. And I found the bag of corn chips.
And I could not find Velveeta or queso anywhere.
And I was like, this is crazy. I looked and looked and looked.
You know how we are. We don't want to ask. Certainly in Puerto Rico I don't want to ask.
Where's your fake cheese log? Well, I didn't know what to call it.
So I find somebody that works there. And I'm like, yeah, I'm looking for chips and queso.
Like queso. Queso is cheese to them. So that can mean anything.
And I get that. But I'm like trying to describe to him.
I got a chip here and I'm dipping it and I'm eating it.
And so I just keep saying the same thing over there. Queso. Queso.
Come on, brother. Help me out here.
Well, I sound like probably like a moronic parrot.
Right. Just saying the same thing over and over again.
Dumb American.
Well, yeah. Dumb American. And he says something.
And it made a couple shoppers that were walking by laugh.
And that's when I was like, OK, motherfucker.
Oh, because I know he's mocking me. Alpha Paul came out.
Well, not really. Oh, God. Not really. I got all mad.
And then I was like, he didn't know I was fluent.
Did you meet me to friend? Of course I was not fluent.
No, I just kind of, you know, just walked away.
I gave him the the American glare.
Did you say sit on it? La tuya, cabron.
And he went, what happened? And I walked away without any queso.
You just came out with chips and then they were like, where's the queso?
I was like, fuck you. You should have said, do you have a solution?
Did you say, where's your cheese?
There was no solution. I found artificial cheese.
Did your father in law go over there and say, there it is, you dumbass.
No, we never found it. He wasn't there. He sent me to the grocery store.
I don't think Costco has like Velveeta.
Well, it was just a regular grocery. I think it was Walmart. It was Walmart.
Did you say, where is your Velveeta? Where's your Velveeta?
I didn't say Velveeta. Where's your cheese whiz?
They have Walmart in Puerto Rico?
Maybe not. Maybe not. I don't know.
The bottom line is I couldn't find it and I never did find it.
How come they have Walmarts in Europe?
Yes. Do they really?
They're worldwide. I did not know that.
I didn't know that either.
All right. Look up a map of Walmart locations worldwide.
The US style Walmart. No groceries. Stores in Germany.
OK, so the Walmart part of, but there are no groceries in Germany.
Well, the Walmart started out not having groceries.
That's right. So they just add the shopping and then they call them what?
Super stores. Super Walmart.
Yeah, they started out as just department stores.
And Atari tried to do the same thing.
Correct. They did it. Yeah.
All right. Zoom out. We're going to Europe.
Well, each company or each country buys differently because I know Canada.
There you go. Well, hold on. Zoom out a little bit and then you can do a search.
There's one in Mineola.
There are no oops, no results for Walmart locations of the in the world.
Just put Walmart.
And Walmart. I bet you there's one in Manchester. England.
Oh, that's a Walmart super center right there.
Thomas asked a Walmart super center in Womley Ash Lane, Minworth, Sutton, Coldfield.
No way. So they are everywhere in Europe or in UK.
Let's look at a little Ruskie. Try Munich.
You think they're in Russia? Munich, Germany.
I want to go to one in Saudi Arabia. Berlin.
Berlin. That's the capital.
What about North Korea? Bonn is the capital.
You think they have one in North Korea? There's Walmart right there.
Oh, no shit. Like in the middle of nowhere.
Where is that? That's in Germany.
I'll tell you, after living in Germany, I find that the shopping experiences in
Germany are far better than any on the planet.
And what way?
I just think it's more of a market kind of feel like a like an outdoor market.
Yeah, I just think, you know, they have like just baskets of fruit.
It. Yeah, just just dragon fruit.
They've got people working each booth and I don't even know what the German
market that they had out there.
It was a covered, climatized building, but they had like it was like a booth.
It's like a farmer's market. It's like a farmer's market.
And I just I thought it was just you think it's still like that.
I don't know. I've been there fresh. I'm sure small.
They could. I don't know. I'm sure the small villages maybe like that.
But I bet you get in big cities like Berlin and Munich.
And now that's where we were at anymore.
That's what I mean. Today, I bet everything's commercialized.
I bet. Well, I don't know. But they've got to have markets out there like Aldi.
Isn't Aldi from Germany or something?
The North, Switzerland or something like that.
Do they have a Walmart in Iceland? Oh, I bet they do.
I bet you they don't know about Iceland.
Try Reykjavik. That's the big city.
Reykjavik Reykjavik. Anyway.
Yeah, interesting. Yeah, that was a little side.
What were we talking about before we got on Walmart?
We have no idea. I don't know. I'm getting kind of dizzy.
We have literally no idea what we were talking about before Walmart.
Pork grunts. Oh, yeah. His stomach and. Oh, my story.
My case. Oh, story. Well, that's right. Correct.
And you and you outfitted him. No, I didn't.
You posted up in my head. In my head, I did.
I smell my armpit. Yeah. He was shorter than me.
You could have just jammed your armpit into it.
You should have. You should have.
You should have, bitch. No, I'm American, man.
I'm from America. I'm American. I rule.
Dumb safety. Give me some. Give me some queso, man.
You idiot. He's probably like chips and cheese, chips and cheese.
Chips and cheese. I'm like, ah, chips and cheese, chips and cheese.
The plane. I swear to God, I was just saying it over and over again.
I literally was told myself. Hey, look at this. I'm not a guy.
I told myself, stop saying it. He's an idiot.
He's asking for cheese. You sound like a moron.
Was he just kind of looking at you? Yeah, yeah.
You had a fucking mouse over here. Yes.
And people were like looking at me. Everybody was looking at me.
And then he was like, this guy's a moron in Spanish.
And they're like, oh, he called him a moron.
And you were like, probably being emphatic with the chip dipping into it.
I started knocking shit off the shelf and I started punching people.
I'm from America. I'm American. Wow.
Buy me the Velveeta, bitch.
I said Velveeta that helped me. I never thought of it.
You may have gone, we don't have that.
In perfect English. We don't have Velveeta here, sir.
Velveeta's not Mexican. What is it? Craft.
It's Moldavian. No, it's American. Moldavian.
From America, from the U.S. of A. So Daniel Mickelson dies.
Don't know who that is. What is Manny?
Fashion model, 23 years old.
I like Manny, I like Velveeta. Is there any cheese in that?
Well, it's American cheese, so it's... I don't want to know.
Don't ruin this for me. I like Velveeta.
Because you don't have to refrigerate that.
Only when it's sealed.
Velveeta contains a moderate amount of calcium,
a small amount of vitamin A, and four grams of protein per serving.
Scroll down. We want the ingredients, not the nutritional value.
The ingredients used to be made from real cheese.
Today, its ingredients are milk, protein, concentrate, whey, protein,
concentrate, milk fat, and tons of preservatives.
Tons of preservatives.
Well, it's a key part of every prepper's kit.
It never goes bad. It's good for 170 years.
In fact, after 50 years, it'll start your car.
It probably turns hard into a nice fine cheddar.
A couple of electrodes in it, and it conducts electricity.
It's like the potato battery.
Oh my God, that's awful.
We should probably stop eating that stuff.
It's good, though.
Half the stuff we ate before.
I hosted a July 4th party, and we had a lot of that.
I ate a lot of that. Yeah, we saw you.
I didn't have too much of it. I'm not judging.
I saw you eating it. Dude, you were tearing it up.
It was good. I didn't have any.
You got the spoon out. Let's just eat it. Shut up.
God, we saw you. We did. I wasn't trying to hide it.
The lava lamp is actually lava-eating right now.
Did you guys have fun? No. I thought so.
I did something I've never done before in my entire life,
and I did the cornhole game. Oh, yeah.
That was fun. We did play cornhole. I didn't think I was going to like it.
I think it's his name, Ruck. Ruck. He's going to be a guest.
He was like, you want to play a game?
I was like, I'm going to stay inside.
I also got to hand it off to the Earth,
because 85 degrees on 4th of July anywhere
is something that's preserved, that's going to be appreciated.
And by the way, that follows an amazing
weather pattern we had for Memorial Day, too.
We've had two holidays in a row that have been atypical.
I'll take it. It's global cooling.
Does that mean we're going to have a nice snowy Christmas?
We've got to do something. Global cooling is going to kill us all.
I'll take snow, because I don't have to drive anywhere anymore.
Do we are not going to global cooling?
No, they call it climate change because it encompasses everything.
Global warming goes for one way, and then that was kind of
proven false and argued because they take these pictures
of these global warming events in the snow.
So they've changed it to climate change, because that's...
Because it wasn't fitting the narrative.
It encompasses everything. Oh yeah, climate's always changing.
It's changing more volatile.
People are fucking idiots. There's no such thing.
It takes billions of years for shit to change.
You know what my father says? That we're entering an ice age.
And you know why I think we should listen to him?
Because he's old. Because for 27 years he was a geologist
I'm just saying. Geologist.
My father is a geologist. And he says we're entering an ice age.
I'm like, I'm going to listen to that.
Shouldn't you have been an atmosphereist?
He studies rocks. Like a million years we're going to go into?
Ice ages are generally tens of thousands of years.
And we've gone through thousands of them.
Millions of them.
Heating, cooling, heating, cooling, heating, cooling.
He said we are headed, we're going into an ice age.
Well, I mean that's how we move shit around the planet.
Winter is coming. You know, glaciers carry stuff.
That's why when you see these random boulders out in the middle of a field somewhere
you're like, how the fuck did that boulder get there?
Glaciers? It was a glacier. Ice froze.
It got absorbed into the plates of ice. And the ice
migrate, believe it or not. Ice migrates
for hundreds and hundreds of miles and then just drops off
into the deposit of a big fucking boulder.
Oh, there's tons of stuff like that. I love that shit.
Finding a clam fossil in New Mexico.
How do you think that happened? Because it used to be the ocean.
Because it used to have legs.
So it fell off and left its clam?
Had a girlfriend like that. Like the ceiling cams.
You had a girl like that? What's going on with your company now?
Oh, right now? Yeah, there was some sort of...
Outage. We always have outages. Well, there's this big old hack
that just happened to us. No, we weren't hacked.
I'm not saying you were, but there's a huge one going on. Another big ransomware.
For where? And they want 70 million dollars
from like a whole bunch of different companies. Thousands of companies.
I'm telling you, we've got to take them out.
How about just a missile strike?
We don't have to send in a special ops team. Just missile strike
the data center. That we can easily take out.
I mean, look, it just takes a little cooperation.
You know? You just got to get somebody with balls.
Trump will do it. Trump would do it. Trump would do it.
And he wouldn't think twice about it. I believe that.
This is impacting folks worldwide, though. Yeah, enough.
One of the big chains that got hurt was a slew of grocery stores in Switzerland.
800 grocery stores went down.
Guys, it was bad enough that they attacked and brought down
a major pipeline in the United States.
That was a few months ago. That is an act of war.
I'm dead serious. That is vital infrastructure.
And that impacted the entire eastern coast of the United States.
They could do stuff. You know, that right there across every line.
They could access our nuclear power plants and keep us from
being able to control the cooling elements.
That crossed every line.
And at that point, it's no holds barred. And I hope.
I'm not sure what Biden was like. He was like, Hey, look, we got to
if you're going to do it, we want to make sure that you don't do it with these.
Let's just agree right now. We're not going to be pulled up a list of like five or six.
Yes. What are you talking about?
Biden in the art, the G6 summit.
Is that what he said? He said, let's all be friends and not attack each other.
You can attack these. What he said is, hey, let's let's come up
with agreement that we're not going to no matter what, we're not going to attack these.
So it's kind of like we're going to have
an agreement on, you know, not necessarily.
I got kind of like the agreement. We're not going to use gas warfare.
Yeah, it's like we're not going to use mustard gas.
Talk about how about you don't fucking do it? Yeah. How about if you do it again?
What a position of weakness, man.
We'll fucking put a foot up your ass. I mean.
So one thing that I found was interesting is that the group
that was responsible for bringing down that pipeline, what was the name of the pipeline?
You guys remember Colonial Colonial Pipeline. Nice.
When they the website for those people went down.
And they don't know if it was brought down and they were sent running
or whether the United States did a counter offensive cyber attack
and brought down their their website and not cost.
I thought that was at least interesting that there was some sort of, you know,
you hope behind the scenes that they are doing something about it.
And I hope they're like going all out with it.
That's because that crossed the line.
There's a there's a lot involved in it.
The way they use VPNs and just multiple variants and serious series of VPNs.
It's just it's got to be tough to catch. Oh, it's complicated.
There's I read an article today because I got out there because it impacted my industry again.
Oh, not your company. But so.
So one of the things that it said was for the colonial pipeline or was it the it may have been the beef
when either the colonial or the beef company that the hackers got a heads up
because there is a virus company, anti virus company, sorry, who posted something that, hey, we have a vulnerability.
No, well, no, there's a vulnerability and we have a fix. Right.
So in order to do this and these hackers read that.
So they're like, we'd act now. Yeah, we do exploit the vulnerability before it gets fixed.
So unbelievable. They went ahead and did it.
And this was like within five days of that story.
Basically told him exactly how to get in there and do it. Correct.
They basically said you need to do it now. Really?
So so we've got to find a whole new system of a whole new system of telling people how what to protect
without the hackers getting to it. And that's impossible. Right.
And that basically again, I read some articles today and they basically said it's going to happen.
It's a matter of how quickly you recover.
There's no way to stop it because no matter how good or fast we are, the the hackers are determined.
That's all they do. Have the means. Yeah, that's all they do.
They said, expect it to happen or you'll go out of business.
This was what this one security company was saying. Yeah.
You have to be prepared for when it happens on how you react to it.
And I think what you have to do is you have to build a parallel system.
Yeah, you have to build layers to your system that when they do take over something, it's an outer perimeter type of thing.
You know what I mean? You know, if you need a parallel system that's not connected, just something like to get an update.
It's not constantly online. I don't know how you do.
We have what they do. What they do is they have a time release thing.
OK, as soon as they now it's hook up to the parallel.
Now it's over on the parallel one as well. You know, you have you have to connect them at some point.
These guys are going to outsmart you because that's what they do. That's all they do.
They're the best. They're the best in the world or maybe as good as the best in the world.
So I don't know. And that's all they do. They sit in their little cave.
Who knows? They could be in a nice office just sitting there typing away.
This code didn't work. Making millions and millions of dollars in a really nice office.
Yeah, this code didn't work. Let me try this. This code didn't work. Let me try.
All day long. All day long. That one worked.
But they're with automated bots too because didn't they like, you know, trace all that Bitcoin that they got paid into, which was retarded anyway.
Bitcoin like one of the most easily traced money.
Yeah, they were they reversed the money they were paid for the colonial pipeline.
I don't know. Again, I got was encouraging to me.
It's supposed to be not traceable.
See, that's cryptocurrency says it's not supposed to be traceable.
I thought it was I was when it first came out, that was one of the unique things they said about that was that it is absolutely traceable.
Like you because it has an ID that you can tell. I don't know.
So everybody that's ever owned it. I think it's traceable but anonymous.
That's there's a difference there. Right. So I don't know. I don't know.
But I'm not an expert. Well, that's maybe not anonymous, but maybe whatever name you put in there.
Right. You're just supposed to be using real your real name.
Now we're kind of staring at this lava lamp here. It's getting a little action. The lava lamp's actually working.
Yeah. It kind of leads me into the this is what mentioned the G7.
I read today that it failed. But a new global tax is trying to be passed right now with from the G7 conference.
They want to I guess I don't know. I didn't read the whole article. I think I read that Biden was pushing it and that the other partners were like, man, we're good.
Well, one hundred and thirty of the one hundred and thirty nine countries voted for it. Nine have said no, we don't want it.
And that's all it took. That's all it took. So they're having to rethink it.
So they must be pretty powerful countries if they said no. Right.
You know, so the global tax, how would you like to spend an extra nine percent?
Again, I don't know if it's on all of a sudden everything is taxed another nine percent, dude.
Well, Americans will flip out on that. Flip out. That's basically a global tariff to global tax is what it's called.
And that's baby steps towards one world order globalization.
My question is, what is actually what half the country in their stupidity they want like Democrats and liberals?
Yeah, they're good with that. They don't believe in nationalism.
They don't believe in America's greatness or America anything they believe in.
It's unfair that we have what we have. They want one world economy, one world government, you know, everybody freedom for everybody, which the irony is, is the exact opposite.
It's going to be slavery for everyone. Yeah, there it is right there. Minimum tax of at least 15 percent.
The U.S. is pushing for a global tax of at least 15 percent called the Announcement Historic Day for Economic Diplomacy.
Ninety percent. So what would a tax? Yeah, yeah. Let's find out what exactly it would do. Everything you export.
I don't know. I don't know. We need to do some research on this. I don't know what it affects.
So Biden's global. It gives countries where a company does business the right to tax some one hundred billion in multinational.
Can you keep keep scrolling because I'm microphone's open away.
Multinational company profits, including digital ones, regardless of the company's home country.
So that means Amazon. So Amazon does business in Germany. Right.
America wants to tax that German business. OK, 15 percent.
So that's what that is. So U.S. would get 15 percent tax and all the sales in Germany.
And if there's any German companies that do business here, we would be taxed 15 percent on that and Germany would get it.
So Aldi, Ikea, I just don't know. All the prices would go up. Right. Exactly.
It's all the foreign. So it was once again, Biden has is getting us involved to raise the prices of shit in the United States.
Correct. Toyota, Honda, all the Japanese companies, all your TVs.
Raise prices and they're OK with computers. You think you don't get percent. They are OK with prices raising.
They know they want energy to be more expensive. They want gas to be more expensive. They want everything to be more expensive.
They don't care. So any OPEC oil, would it now have a 15 percent problem tax on it? Probably.
On top of so that makes your gas go up. It's I mean, I don't know.
Yeah, it'd be a huge impact. Basically, a lot of your costs because what's American made anymore? Right.
I mean, it has to be an American company. So, you know, it'd be all of the like I said, the Toyota, the Honda, the Kia, the Sony's.
Right. All the Samsung, the legal entity, of course. Right. But Apple is here.
So Apple phones wouldn't be taxed here in the U.S., but they would have a 15 percent tax everywhere else. Right. Yeah.
But what about all the parts to the phone? That's where the company is. Right.
It's where the company is. Not where the home where the company's home.
But still, you're buying parts. So you got to purchase those parts and then it's assembled somewhere else.
Where the companies are housed. Right. Not where should I.
To me, it just sounds like a horrible idea. I don't believe in overtaxing companies because that's what creates opportunity.
Yes. So who gets the money? Well, the U.S. would. The home country. The home country.
So nor would the OK. So 50 percent minimum tax seems to include carve outs for industries certain countries deem is strategic, such as the British financial services sector.
Ireland, with its twelve and a half percent minimum rate, continues to object, which could complicate final approval in the European region.
So Ireland is the one is one of the ones that backed out.
It'd be more accurate to say that the Mathias as Mathias Korman, Secretary General of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development under whose auspices of the negotiations occurred, noted that it multilaterally agreed limitations.
That's just reiterating that. See, I think also what it would do.
And if it's not part of this, I know they're pushing it because, you know, now if you buy something online and that company does not have an entity in your state, you don't pay tax on it. Right.
Right. Oh, they want to change that. They want to change that.
So if you buy something that say they're based out of New York and they only have stores in New York, but you can order from them and you ship it to Texas.
There's no tax on it. Right. They want to be able to tax that now. They want to anyway.
So imagine a country that has little to no global companies in their country. All the prices would go up. Everything.
Everything would go up. Yeah. Because every single company that does business in their country is going to have is going to have to send additional revenue for whatever they sell there back to their home countries.
Additional taxation. I don't understand how this would benefit a lot of countries.
Unless I'm not international business savvy where I know like, you know, India has a lot of they do. They have a lot of industries.
That's just an example. What was crazy is 130 said yes. Yeah. Nine said no. I'd be curious what the nine are. I wonder if they're the biggest ones.
Well, Ireland and you would think that they were the ones that would stand to benefit the most. But apparently not. So I don't know. Yeah.
So what is it? So every decision they make has to be unanimous. I guess. I mean, really? You're going to get 139 countries just to agree on anything.
Well, yeah. But but what if those not of standard like, yeah, we're not doing that. And then done.
And these other companies who may have gotten. Yeah, we have to do it. They're like, yeah, I don't want to do it now either because my shit's going up. Right. Yeah. I don't know. Just weird.
I don't know. So now they're like, OK, well, Ireland's exempt. I don't know who else. Spain and Italy. You're exempt. But everyone else, you're paying 15 percent. Yeah.
Sounds like a bad idea. Anyway, find it right here where they're talking about. I think it's a terrible idea. It is. Agreed.
Anything to keep. I mean, it's just it's bad for everybody.
You know, it's bad for everybody. You know, to bolt down to is the is the prevailing idea that the government, any government, world government, each of these countries, governments spend, spend, spend, spend, spend.
Tax, tax every possible thing you can because you're going to spend like crazy. A lot of countries have fats. Right. We don't.
You mean like big steel drums where they make beer vats? You know, the value added tax. Right.
So they tax every step of the process. I know. Right. So we don't have that here.
There's some discussion to implement that. It's just a way to get more money. Yeah. So the Treasury Secretary, Janet L. Yellen, called the agreement a historic day for economic diplomacy and said it represented one of the administration's core
foreign policy goals. One of the core goals is to establish this tax. Right. And we still don't know where that tax is going to go.
It'll go to the federal government. Right. Will it? Yes. That's what it says. Federal government.
So all the all the extra tax that Amazon's going to have to charge for all the business they do outside of the U.S. is going to go to the U.S. government. Right.
So right now, all the stuff that Amazon sells in Hungary. Right. We don't get any tax. The federal government doesn't get any tax money for anything sold in Hungary. Hungary gets taxed probably.
Hungary does. I guess. Yeah. Hungary does. But the U.S. doesn't. But the U.S. doesn't. So now they're going to. Why the fuck do they. It's just like why do we want to dip our fingers in that?
Because they want more money. Because they're spending like crazy and they need to find somewhere to get the money.
Well, they also know they can't raise taxes too high on the people because then they get voted out of office.
So they're trying to screw the businesses. It's just a side. Well, those taxes are just going to get passed on to us. Yeah, they are. That's what happens.
Well, they're going to get passed on to the people in Hungary and they don't care about because those people can't vote for you for you know.
No, what I'm saying. Well, what I'm saying is for the companies that we buy from from other companies, like I said, if I'm buying a new Honda, my prices went up 15 percent. Right. Right.
And so I guess that it would encourage us to buy local or buy a man by Ford by Ford. Right. So and it may and it may kind of like a tariff.
If you want to think about it, it is just like Trump did it. Right. He's going to accept their normal on everything. Right.
It's a tariff on all foreign stuff. So what's going to happen is people will stop buying American stuff overseas. Correct.
So then what happens? They raise their prices locally, too. Yeah. Domestically. It's just it's it's wrong across the board.
It's just a bad thing. Now, it's just a bunch of greedy sons of bitches. That's all it boils down to. They're just being greedy.
It's just an out of control government that spends way more than they make.
Anyway, have we beat the Stead horse? No. We're going to keep going. Yeah, we're done. There's more horse to beat.
Well, I'd like to talk about is the holiday we just went through.
And I know we briefly touched on it in the previous podcast, but we didn't really talk about Fourth of July.
And this was kind of a momentous one of the big ones in five years.
So this was year two hundred forty five of the great USA.
And what was it that you had there the term that the by blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, by quadrilateral?
No, I don't know. I don't think it's called anything. It's the centenar quadrilateral.
Well, I remember the bicentennial in nineteen seventy six. Two hundred.
That was two hundred. I remember. I remember that one is a big one. It was a big one.
Gosh, we're getting old now. Two fifty is in five years. That's insane.
I know. Oh, that's insane. That's embarrassing.
Yeah, I remember the two hundred and now the two fifties coming up to forty five. That was a big one.
But you know, we didn't do any fireworks this time. We didn't see any fireworks.
We didn't set off any fireworks. Well, fine. Well, it's again, I think the kids are grown.
Right. And well, there were no kids at all at my party. No, none.
And, you know, we did the fireworks with the kids for a long, long, long, long time.
And I get sick of dealing with the crowds. I know it's old man syndrome or whatever, because like I don't want to deal with it.
Right. And so I haven't done fireworks over the last probably four years, four or five years.
And don't necessarily miss it. We had our own show. Right.
A couple of years ago, we went out with a bang and that where you set most of the neighborhood on fire or pretty much.
And what happened is that was Sean's fault. It wasn't my fault.
No, we were there to enjoy but and supervise. But our boys, of course, went out and they're of age and but not to us.
Yeah. And they went out and they bought like suitcases full of big fireworks.
Oh, wow. And I'm guessing not legal to be set off inside the city.
No, no. In the county, you're not allowed to set off fireworks.
These are bigger than sprinklers or sparklers.
So technically, you're not even allowed to have sparklers. Did you know that?
I did not know that. I thought it was a city of Frisco, not a calling county, because you can be out in the boonies in Collin County outside the cities.
Maybe it is Frisco. Yeah, I think it's I think it is the city.
So anyway, we you know, we let some off and some were extremely large and loud and loud.
And it went on for maybe three hours.
How did the police not get called? They were out front.
Yeah, but at the end, at the end of the street, we stopped.
They were driving around the alley and everything.
I sat out front. How did they not raid the house?
Well, they were popping people leaving, hoping to get well, because at this point, what they're trying to do is they're trying to say, well, how can we screw these guys over the most?
What's the biggest bang for our buck? And that's to hopefully snag a few people for a DWI.
As far as money goes. Right. I see.
And fortunately for us, the folks that left didn't drink a drop because they were like, and they were stopped.
Oh, yeah. We're stopped immediately.
Just there. There were there were three or four cops sitting right on the street.
Just waiting. No, they were out front of my house standing and I had walked out and sat down on my little circle.
Yes. And and they were like talking to me.
And I said, well, I told them I told them a little fib.
So while I've been asleep, I just I work with nights.
And so I was my kids were were were were, you know, maybe doing some sparklers in the back. And I said, but, you know, I've heard some firecrackers come out from the neighborhood behind us.
They were like, no, we're pretty sure it's in your yard.
They called you out on it. Yeah.
And I was like, I was in a super.
And just kind of walked back in the house and that kind of gave you a fine.
No, I mean, that's like a thousand dollar fine.
But we stopped. Yeah. Yeah.
But they don't care. You've been doing it for three hours.
They didn't catch us. Yeah. But they had they had the boys brought some big ones.
And the opening one was where, you know, it was just it went off and it was a big mortar.
It was a big mortar. It went off. My wife and I woke up.
We felt like it exploded. What I believe to be premature.
Oh, yeah. So it went up, which I believe to be like maybe a hundred foot.
And it probably should have gone up more. No, it was just above the house.
It was just above the house and it went off.
And I'm not sure if there were car alarms going off, but it was a topic of discussion on the next door app for sure.
Well, did someone call?
And then it kept and then it just kept going.
And we had a variety of different things to put off.
We had the square cube that you light one fuse and then the shit went off for like five minutes.
And at first, it was really tame.
And then these little like sparkle, sparkle, spark and then we pop, we pop, we, we, and then we, we, we, we, we, we, and then shit just got violent.
violent. And it was like this flame ball with a just
whistlers fear of consuming the backyard.
We had something similar in our driveway and we thought it was
done because it was like the same kind of thing. So that was
exciting. Brody jumps over it. Right. While it was basically
flaming out, it was done. And I was like, Brody, you idiot. And
I started walking towards it. Grand finale kicked off. And it
was exactly what you described. It literally I it pinned me to
the garage door. I was trying to get back from it. And it was
probably at least 15 feet away from me. It it was amazing. And
then it finally ended and everybody in the yard was like,
Oh, wow. Like they all started cheering and being crazy. And I
was like, I was like covered in foot. Yeah, that's basically
what it was. And you should have seen our backyard the next day.
It must have been a mess. It was like, like paper shrapnel and
just everywhere in the tubes in the whole neighborhood,
frankly, like the alley. I mean, oh, no, they because look, man,
they had rockets. They went all out. It was like a non stop. So
they didn't do it this year. We put a stop to it. We said
that's it. We're good. Good. They said this is it. This is
one and done. You're on a national watch list. Yeah. I
mean, like militia type of, you know, it was a top and you know,
what are irresponsible dad, but you know, but it's fun in
retrospect. No one got hurt. I don't want to say that makes it
right. I just mean want to say it was a lot of fun. And I just
can't believe you didn't get a fine. I mean, what what what
do they have to do to give you a fine? That's the definition.
You gotta catch you with the fireworks, I believe. But but
if it's in your backyard, they can't go in there. You know,
they can't go in there. So they just even though they see it
launching from inside your yard, I don't know. I don't know what
the legalities are. That's insane. But they didn't. They
didn't come in. But there's a lot of bad things that can
happen. I mean, I'll you guys kind of shared something about
someone getting hurt. But before we share that, you know, I had
one of those big mortars. It's got a got a big square bottom
and a tube stuck to it. Yeah, I mean, I lived in El Paso. And
it was sitting kind of precariously on a. Where's El
Paso have to do with it? That's where I lived at the time. Yeah,
okay. That's what they have very uneven. I was gonna say was
it just it's very flat, but a different kind of mortar. No,
it was just where I was at the time. And it also kind of kind
of gives detail to how long ago it was. But nonetheless, there
was a there was a mortar and it had toppled over due to the
unlevel ground in the wind blow. Yeah, and it was a big boy.
And when that thing went off. It was in your direction by your
face. It was it was alarming. Did you feel it? Yeah, well, I
had my eyebrows were singed as it went by. Yeah. It was the
real shit, man. It's a rocket. You know, I mean, it was it was
a big one, too. I mean, it was like four inches in diameter and
about 20 inches tall. It was a big fucking mortar that went
off. And when it hit, I was gonna say it went sideways.
What did it sideways? It went over the house like it was a
fucking cannon that went off. And it just so happened the fire
marshal lived next to us. And it went off like in the street or
it went in shot. So I was in the field across the street from
my house and it had shot over our house. Right. And the fire
marshal came out and showed me his badge that he was a fire
marshal. He was like, dude, but he detonated. Oh, it went off.
And you're you're inside of your head smoking. And it was and it
was what, like 10 feet off the ground when it? No, it went over
the house. OK, so it kept going up. Yeah, it went over the
house and kept going for a little bit more. And then you
couldn't see it. So it was you got to imagine when it exploded.
You only saw half the sep, the sphere. Right. So you got so
you have no I have no idea what the fuck happened. So someone
could have been sitting in their backyard. Yeah, you could also
in this thing just blew up over.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Imagine it makes you sit in your backyard and a
mortar comes over the fence and explodes. This is what happens
to to these dogs that are scared shitless whenever. That's the
reason why. I'm the reason why. But nonetheless, man, it was
scary. You know, and I dodged a bullet literally. And but I'll
tell you the the there was some goalie in a jail, 24 years old.
Yeah, and they chill go like sitting in a spa. Same type of
deal. The thing fell over and hit him in the chest and killed
him. He was sitting in a spa. He's hot tub. Hit him. Hit him
in the chest. And they said he was they called 911 and he was
still breathing, but he was not doing well. And I saw I'm
guessing it's I'm guessing it stopped his heart. I mean, I
don't it wasn't burn related. As far as I can tell, it was blunt
force trauma to his chest that probably a liquid in the blood
and the lungs, all kinds of I don't know. I don't know. Yeah,
that guy right there. There is he was on the blue jackets goalie
Matisse, a Kalevonik's was struck in chest by fireworks.
Unbelievable. 24 years old. Yeah, so I'm waiting for examiner
who performed the autopsy on the blue jackets goalie Matisse
Cleveland said fireworks mortar shell hit him in the chest
during an incident Sunday that killed him in Novi, Michigan.
Heart and lungs injuries fatal injuries to his heart and lungs.
Yep. It's just hit him so damn hard. Like a car accident,
right? Yeah, blunt, blunt force trauma, sad promising career to
damn sustained external, extensive external injuries as
well. So probably bruised and it may have broken him open. Who
knows? Not not right. Well, I mean, if it hit him, I mean, it
could have literally if that ball hit him and then exploded. I
mean, that I don't know if it exploded. I think it bounced off
his chest and landed on the hot tub. Yeah, maybe then blew his
balls off. No, just probably fizzled out because it was
underwater. No, that does not happen like that. Really? Yeah,
it'll still go off. Yes. Because we used to take bottle rockets
and launch them into water. We would put them in a bottle and
we'd aim them at the water. They would go whoop in the water.
Yeah, they do. Bloop. Yep. I used to do the same thing. And
they went off. Oh, yeah, they'd explode. They'd explode and
sometimes they had fish that would pop up. People fish like
that. Dynamite. It's true. I know I've heard of that. Yeah. And
it's real too. I'm telling you, we would like a little sunfish
or bluefish. What the fuck they're called. That's a sad
story. New Jersey. Bluegill. Bluegill. Well, that's just
that's terrible. You know, and I worry for the boys. You know,
100 people they said 100 people died in fireworks related
injuries across the United States this weekend. Wow, that's
a lot just like the football player Jason Pierpaul by six,
seven years ago. He was holding a M8 or something like that and
blew his fingers off. Yep. Remember that? I do. Did he end
his career? No, he's still playing. Yeah, I thought so. But
he sat out a year because it blew like two fingers off, I
think. I mean, gone. And you see him now. He's got it. It's
See, he was holding it finger and it went off and it blew up
blew his fingers off. Well, they say when you have an enclosed
hand, that's that's when you blow fingers off and stuff. Well,
or if it's just big enough as a big I think it was an M80 that
went off, right? M80s are I forget what the thing is, but
they're like one fifth, one eighth the size of a dynamite
stick. Yeah. So put it there. Jason Pierpaul. Yeah, fireworks
and a bad idea to be honest. Yeah, but we did a Pierre. I did
to you know, we try we you know what even as reckless as we were
doing in my backyard, we were we had caution. There it is. Look
at that. Yeah. Yeah, that's fucked up. It's his right. So I
had an incident. I don't know how many years ago now where I
was holding sparklers. And they were these metal ones that like
were burning super hot and super fast. I was like, what the hell
going on with this? And so these little kids are crowding around
me, waiting for me to hand them some their sparklers, right? And
I've got you know, I'm hand them one at a time, right? And I'm,
you know, I'm angling them to light them angle them to light
them or spark hopped over and landed in the middle of the ones
I had in my hand. Oh, no. And it all went up at once. Okay. And
they were all crowded around me, right? And so I, I turned my
hand away like this, I backed away from them, I made sure
none of them were there. Meanwhile, it's burning me. And
then I threw them into the grass. And I got third degree burns
all over my thumb and out third, third degree burns all over my
thumb and my finger to where they're still like, I have
minimal feeling in portions of these. And I had I had to go to
the emergency room. I didn't want to because I was like,
what are you gonna do? They're gonna put some, you know,
appointment on it. Yeah, exactly. But it tincture.
Exactly. But I was so sure I was so mad. But I was I was thankful
that I was, you know, I made sure that none of the kids got
burned. But still it was stupid. Those are sparklers. And I was
like, I'm gonna go get some more sparklers. Yeah. Well, fuck
those things get hot. Oh, they were burning so and that's what
I was. That's what I was struggling with. I was like,
dude, they're burning so fast that I was like handing it to
one kid handing it to another kid. I was like, damn, I can't. I
can't hand them out fast enough. And then. Yeah, then the whole
thing went up. I wonder if they're made in properly. I
don't know. But sometimes those sparklers are a pain in the ass
to light. Well, yeah, that's the best way to light them is
the sparkler. And that's where I screwed up because I was
angling it with my thumb. So I had a stack in this hand with
190 degrees. Right. And I was lighting it. Right. You know what
I mean? Right. And yeah, it went bad.
Yeah, I only had I had an incident where I burned myself
on my hand in Germany. And I was lighting sparklers. I had those
non safety matches. And I don't know how I did it. But I had
a match in one hand, light in a sparkler. And when the sparkler
lit, I was like, cool. Through the match in back into the box
of non safety matches. Right. And the whole fucking box went
up. Yeah. 500. It was that was like a bomb that one. I remember
speaking of sparklers, me and a buddy was probably maybe a
freshman in high school. And we had these sparklers. They're the
big ones, you know, like the three foot sparklers. Have you
seen those really big ones? Yeah. And he lived on a street
where his side of the street was at a higher elevation than the
other side of the street significant. Right. And the other
side of the street, the house had a huge pine tree, probably
50 feet. I mean, the kind of pine tree that's 50 feet tall
and it goes all the way down to the ground. Right. The leaves
do. And we're up there and we're just throwing it. And it would
go down and land in the street. Well, I threw it a little bit
too hard. And I threw it and hit the top of the tree. And you
can see it falling through the tree. And we're like, if it gets
stuck and lighting, damn tree is going to go up because the
ground was covered in dead needles. Yeah. So we just stay
in there. We talked about Christmas trees and how those go
up. Yeah. And we just saw it bouncing as it made its way down.
And as soon as it got close, we ran over there and picked it up
before it could light any of the shit up on the ground. So we
there was about 20 seconds of panic as it worked its way as it
fell through the branches. That would have been awful. It would
have been it would have been spectacular. It would have been
a fantastic forest fire. The tree was about 50 feet tall.
It would have been tremendous, but it probably would have cut
the house on fire and probably everything else. So
yeah, everybody has these type of stories. We have a rocket, a
bottle rocket got shot over the fence and caught the we had a
big field and it started burning. Yeah. And I ran and
ran grabbed a hose and some electrical truck stopped and
they pulled out these big rubber mats and they were throwing them
down on the I mean, it's just there's a million of these
stories. Oh, yeah. Fireworks. I do. Well, Brandon, again, those
stupid fireworks they bought. They had some leftover Roman
candles and he was holding it the wrong way. So he was
holding it like this. It was blasting towards him and one hit
him in the gut. So he's like, and Preston and Stephen were
there and they were giggling and shit. And, you know, and I
don't know if he threw it down on the ground or what, but one
shot out and hit him. But he's holding it the wrong way. So
let me let me change gears a little bit. Let me get how you
guys feel about this, because this is a weird thing. So
there's a next teacher and who said that she had a
constitutional right to have sex with students that were
constitutional right to what is that where it showed me that the
Constitution. All right. Well, so thou shalt be able to have
sex with whoever thy teacher Carrie Cabri with was sentenced
to 10 years in prison after having sex with students. The
Morgan County Sheriff's Office said that a former Alabama high
school teacher who claimed it was her constitutional right to
have sex with two of her students and has been sentenced
to 10 years in state prison. She was 47 in the Constitution.
She spent 18 months behind the bars and another 18 months in
community corrections program. And her sentencing on Thursday
seemed to put into controversy about the case that was backed
up for five years. I always find it interesting what these
ladies look like. Not just ladies, but the guys do. Oh,
well, sometimes the teachers are like smoking, smoking hot. Yeah,
look at her. I mean, she's not ugly. Oh, not ugly. I don't. But
they're if they're underage is statutory rape. I mean, it
doesn't matter. Now if the students are seniors and they're
18 or something like that, that's different. Oh, one was
17 and one was 18. Well, I think there's a law that says
they're in a position of authority. Well, but insisted
that she was being prosecuted for consensual relationship only
because she worked at a school as the age of the consent in
Alabama is 16. Interesting. Well, she's got she's got a point
there. I mean, it's immoral. It's immoral. And it's you know,
she should be fired from her. Oh, she's in jail. Yeah, she
should never have been able to be a teacher again. But I'm not
sure going if it was consensual, and they're 17 and 18. I'm not
sure she should be in jail. Is she a threat to society? Not
unless you want to blow job. She should just not be a teacher
ever again. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know, man.
But I think about the other way. Ten years. Oh, the other way
was the other way. They get in shot. He killed, massacred and
all that other stuff. The guy. If I get that guy did it to a
17 or 18 year old student. It happens. It does. I don't get
it. I don't get it either. But I don't know. I don't know. You
know, when she married part of me breaks down whether or not
like what's the value of putting him in prison? Are they a
threat to society? Right? Well, it just it's one of the topics
I was on here. I'm not. It brings up an interesting spin,
sort of speak. You know, then you have the one where the
teacher hadn't, you know, did that same thing and she went to
jail and then the dude grew up and waited for her. Was that
Mary Kay Letourneau waited for her and they had two kids
together. They had kids. They got married and had two kids and
now they're divorced, which is she just died. Well, but yeah,
they did get a divorce. They got divorced. What she just she
just passed away. Yeah. Of what? I'm not sure or something.
I'm not sure. But yeah, that was a crazy story. Yeah, there it
is. Yeah. Yeah, she just passed away not too long ago. 2020.
Yeah, I don't know what she died of. She counts a felony
second degree rape of a child. Well, he would visit her. 12 or
13 at the time. She got pregnant when she was in prison.
With oh with obviously his kids. His kid. Yeah. Yeah. But
yeah, they lived. They were married and they lived there.
They were they were fine. Yeah, years and years. Yeah, I don't
know what caused the the divorce but that happened years down
the road. Yeah. What was the age difference between the two was
huge. Well, yeah, he was 12 and 13. And she was 20 something
9762. She was 25. Right, which actually is not that big a deal
or no she was 3535. She was 3562 to 9718 year difference.
She was 35. Yeah, because she wouldn't that she was married
with kids of her own. Right. How weird. What a weird story.
Anyway, we got to change topics. That's kind of a it's creepy.
Creepy one. Yeah. So should we talk about Biden now? Speaking
of creepy. Yeah, you know what I want to talk about? I want to
talk about what's going on in Afghanistan. I hate to laugh. I
haven't heard anything. So you know how the US is pulling out.
Pulling out. Right. US is pulling out. And we're 90% out
right now. Right. And that was it. Is it Trump start that
what's the what's the gigantic base of Bagram? Bagram? Baghdad?
Bagram? I think it's Bagram. They have the biggest base in
Afghanistan. The biggest airport. Yeah. Well, no base are
full on base, right. And they leave the US forces leave in the
dead of night. And apparently do not tell the Afghan army that
they're leaving probably because of security. And the place gets
looted by by locals. locals. locals loot the base and start
selling the stuff that they looted. And they abandoned it.
And they abandoned it with no security, right. And so and so
the Afghan army like starts to move into the base like the next
day, like to try to, you know, get things under control. Right.
And it's just that's the epitome of the we're not far from that
here of the instability of that country. We're not far from that
either. I know. I mean, look what you talked about. Yeah, that
kind of crap. Yeah, but get this. Here's another part. So
you know how the Afghan army has always struggled to fight the
Taliban, right? They're scared of them. They're terrified. They
don't ever want to get caught by them because they know they're
going to be brutalized. And they're defecting, just like
before into Taliban. Yeah, the ones that are trying to stop the
Taliban advances. I mean, that whole country is going to fall
to the Taliban. You know that, right? Yeah, it's gonna start
all over again. Yep. And so, like 1000 soldiers like ran
across the border of Afghanistan into Pakistan. No, start with a
T to Kazakhstan. No, to Kazakhstan or something like
that. Anyway, so the the women, the Afghan women are taking up
arms to fight the Taliban because all the male Afghan
soldiers are fleeing. Really? I mean, is that country ever gonna
get their shit together ever? Tajikistan. Yeah, Tajikistan.
Tajikistan. Anyway, it's a mess. And it's gonna be a mess forever.
I don't understand that. I mean, we peel. Well, that's kind of
the argument of why are we there? Exactly. We poured
hundreds of billions of dollars into there. The problem with
the same thing. It's the same thing over and over. It's a
cycle. It's like we go, we help some people out. They become
dependent on us. We become part of the system. We didn't do
what we were supposed to be doing, which was bring in their
folks, train them and seamlessly leave. No, that's what we do.
We did. We did. Okay, but it didn't work. It never works.
Yeah. So you know what? Like Trump said, just like, hey,
let's bring, why can't we just bring our troops home and take
care of us? 100%. I agree with that. And the people that are
acting bad, you know, apply tariffs on them, apply things
to make them stop doing what they're doing. If they're not
playing well with other countries like Iran. And then
now look, Iran's fucking, they're developing their uranium
again. They're coming out with... Oh, they've been doing that.
I don't think they ever stopped. They never stopped.
Yeah, but still, but they were under the radar. They were on
the radar. We saw what was going on. And now it's official.
They came out with a report today. They're coming out with
uranium metal. Right. Why do you think Trump pulled out of
that Iranian deal? Because under the deal, they were not
allowed to do certain things. And they were doing them anyway.
And he had the intelligence for it. And he said, okay, well,
then fuck you. I'm pulling out the deal and I'm putting the
sanctions back on you because you're not holding up to your
end of the bargain. And everyone's like, oh, my God,
they're just going to... Trump is just letting Iran work on a
nuclear missile. They were doing it anyway. Right. And he had
the guts to call them out on it. Anyway, so yeah, it's a mess.
All right. Talk about one more thing or if we can, you know,
what about the whole Bill Cosby thing? I can't believe they let
him out. I can't believe it. Not just the fact that he got out.
Let's just say he got out for whatever reason. It's a
technicality, right? It was a technicality. But did you see
some of the video of when he was walking out and then he would do
this little like little jello pudding pop bounce to the left.
It was like... Like when he was walking... I didn't see it. Like
he's being all cute. Like right there. Right. And then he's
giving the peace sign, being all like, hey, look at me, I'm
free. Look, I told you. Yeah. But... Hey, that's fat, Albert.
But the thing is, I believe... I don't care if he's white, black.
People are going to probably say, well, you're just a racist,
you're showing you... You know what? No, has nothing to do with
that. It's just that he even said in his own comedy skit.
That's what he did. He said he's talking about dating women.
He said, just give them a little Spanish fly and then have your way.
He's a sick bastard, man.
No, I mean, the buzz is I can't confirm this. The buzz is, is
that he and his wife were doing it to other girls, women.
His wife was involved?
I think she was complicit. Yes. That's my own thought. Was that his wife?
No, that was not his wife. That's what I think. Because dude,
we're talking over 60 women that he raped. And I guarantee it's more
than that. There's a ton that have never come forward. Yeah, there
was some actor that said, yeah, my friend... Make it work. Oh, yeah,
you were telling that story. Yeah. You know, and she got out in time
for... Prior to the drugs taking effect. Yep. She was woozy and
she knew she was in trouble and he tackled her, tackled her.
And she got off, you know, got away from him and got in the car and drove
away. Unbelievable. And she never reported it.
It was upsetting because he was a big part of... I wasn't a kid when his
show was on, but that show was huge back in the late 80s.
The Fat Albert? No, the Cosby show.
Oh, well, that too. Cosby show and his stand up.
The stand up and Fat Albert. He was such a clean artist and I like the
way his comedy was. Me too.
Because it was all real. I mean, it's someone like him that can change
things. And really, it takes a person like that. Evil, sick person.
Well, even though he is that way, we could still get something from him.
If we were to put him up on there on the stage and start telling these
black kids, hey, look, man, it's not right to pillage and steal from
these stores. You know, and he would start to...
If he would... Do you think he could redeem himself?
No. No, I don't think he would. But what I'm saying is that he would be...
He would be the perfect person, spokesman for that. I think he would
have the power to be able to do that. But it's sad.
Crazy. So sad.
Here's the good thing, though. Here's the good thing.
Any woman that could put themselves in that situation to get raped by Bill
Cosby is an idiot at this point. Oh, at this point.
At this point. I'm sorry. Totally at this point. There isn't anybody on
the planet that doesn't know that he isn't a predator.
Right. You know what I mean? They know he's a predator and they know they
can never be alone with him. Don't accept any... Don't go to lunch with
him. Don't go to dinner with him. Don't go anywhere near his house.
What he needs to do is he just needs to lay low for the rest of his life.
He's got the monies. He just needs to go.
Hey, Mr. Producer, see if you could pull up something about Bill Cosby and
Spanish Fly. Because he had this creepy ass part of his comedy skit.
He's been doing this for decades, guys. This wasn't like a couple of years
before he got arrested. He was doing it for decades. I bet you it's in
hundreds of women. Just pick one. Not that one. One that says Spanish Fly.
Just kind of... He's been doing it.
And he's funny, too, though. Oh, yeah. No, his standup was great.
So... What's 13, man? Start talking about weird things.
No, really. Stand on the corner. You know anything about Spanish Fly?
What? Spanish Fly? It always happens when you're 13. Only when you're 13,
on up to like when you get married. Guys stand around and talk about
Spanish Fly. And it never starts with one of the guys on the corner.
It's always some strange 13-year-old that says, you know what? You know
anything about Spanish Fly? No, tell me about it. Well, there's this girl,
Crazy Mary. You put some in her drink, man. She goes...
Yeah, Spanish Fly. Oh, yeah, that's really groovy, man. Spanish Fly is
groovy. Yeah, boy. From then on, man, anytime you see a girl...
Yeah....with Spanish Fly, boy, whatever.
Go to a party, see five girls standing alone. Boy, I've had a whole jug of
Spanish Fly. I like that. Oh, my God.
Yeah. So I thought it only existed in Philadelphia, you know, and I'm working
on iSpy, and Bob and I are working together. Sheldon then comes up and says,
boys, iSpy is going to Spain.
A childhood dream come true.
There you go. That is admitting it. Yeah, I mean...
He's a sick, sick individual. Right there. And that was a long time ago.
And that... I knew that a long time ago. I knew that when I was...
Whatever the fuck that came out. But you didn't have contacts going...
Yeah, well, you would never have thought he was a predator.
That he was doing that. He was just doing a comedy skit.
Yeah, but... Back then, we laughed at it.
Yeah, but I get what he was... I get the spirit of what he was saying.
Yeah, of course. He was talking about drugging him and
taking advantage of him. Yes, he was.
And I didn't understand everything about it, but I got that, even as a
young kid. It's just crazy. Yeah, Spanish fly.
Well, back then, you think, oh, he's just joking about it.
You didn't realize he's actually doing that.
It makes you wonder, man. I wonder if he ever...
What is the woman that was his wife, Rashid something?
Oh, she totally stands by him. His wife or the Cosby Show wife?
Cosby Show wife. Felicia Rashid? Is that her name?
As a matter of fact, she sent out a tweet celebrating his release,
and she was getting torn up on it. And Bill Cosby came out and on
Twitter... I'm like, why is he on Twitter? But I guess it doesn't
make any difference. And he defended her.
He's on it, but Trump's not on it. And he defended her.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He'll figure that, right?
Right. Wow.
You guys... Everyone you sit down with has a little jello pudding
pop. Well, he did, man. He had the jello commercials. He had the
pudding. He had the... I thought he was great. I thought he was
great. I even saw his Fat Albert show, you know? Yeah. He did all
the voices. I used to watch Fat Albert.
I don't know if you're allowed to say that anymore. Is that racist?
No. His stand-up was great.
Dad, I'm not Dammit, I'm Jesus Christ. Remember that? Dammit,
get in here. Up until the age of seven, I thought my name was
Dammit. And he goes, Dammit, get in here. Dammit, put them in
there. I'm not Dammit, I'm Jesus Christ. Yeah. He was funny. He
was funny. He was funny. The make... The giving the kids
dessert in the mornings for breakfast. He was like...
Chocolate cake?
It's got milk. It's got eggs. It's got everything in here.
Cake it is. Slice for you. And the kids were eating him. And he
has got that little voice. And he's got the little... The way he
spins his head and he smiles. And you're like, damn.
He was funny.
And he is funny. It just goes to show you that, you know,
minus the Spanish fly thing, is he a bad person? Yes. Yes.
100% evil.
Yeah, he is. Just because he made funny jokes doesn't make him...
He has an addiction that he has no boundary on going into evil.
Yeah. Well, I... Playing devil's advocate, I'm just trying to
you know, had he not had that wall, I guess he wouldn't be a
fucking criminal then, you know. I'm just saying, what if he
did coke and beat somebody up? Would it be just as bad?
Because he was on an addiction.
What if he did it for 40 years? Over and over and over and over.
I mean, every kid. I'm trying to give...
Everybody... Well, you can't, right? Everybody has moments
where they make a mistake. They...
Well, like I said, if you do it for...
They drank too much. They did a drug they shouldn't have. They
whatever. Everybody has moments where they have mistakes.
This guy's a serial rapist.
Yeah, he did it for 40 years, right? 50 years?
Yes.
Over and over.
Yes.
So you kind of wonder, where does he get the Spanish fly from?
Probably when it started. He was young. He was a young comedian.
Now, where... I mean, where does he buy this stuff?
Oh, it's a roofie.
Is that what it is?
Yeah, it's a roofie.
Yeah, he would slip it in their drink.
Where can you buy that?
That's some crazy stuff.
Yeah.
That's too bad.
And you know, the distinction about making mistakes versus being a
serial something-or-other. There was a story that I read today
about this guy who... He's a white guy that has been...
had this ongoing feud with a black neighbor and HOA or something.
And so he completely loses his shit, and he's standing in his
front yard, and he's screaming at his black neighbor and being
horribly racist, right? You know, you can imagine what he's
screaming at him.
Oh, is this on TikTok?
And it gets on video.
Oh, my God. And like two hours later, there were a thousand
people there.
Yeah, they said a hundred, but I would...
Oh, there was a lot of people there.
Yeah, so he apparently screams at the camera, you know,
you got a problem with me? You could... Come to my house.
Come to my house.
I live in this...
Well, they all showed up.
And he gave his address and everything. And yes, a hundred
people showed up, or more, I bet, and police had to...
They had to take him out. They were throwing bottles of water
at him and just... He had like six, seven police officers
around him in full body gear.
Right. Really?
And what he said was, I screwed up, I was drunk, and I have a
feud that got out of control, and I lost my temper. And you
know what I mean? Like, that guy's just an idiot who lost his
shit.
Right.
I mean, I don't know anything else about him.
That could happen to all of us, right?
That could happen to any of us.
He could have a right button at any right time.
A hundred percent. Especially in a car-related incident, like
a road rage incident goes bad.
That's how it's happened, yeah.
I mean, people snap. People snap and make huge mistakes.
Even at a very young age. I mean, you've got like a 14-year-old
young woman, as previously reported, a 15-year-old girl who
killed an Uber Eats driver in D.C. along with a 13-year-old
accomplice, now 14, pleaded guilty to felony murder in May.
The 14-year-old was sentenced to juvenile detention over the
fatal carjacking. According to reports, the 14-year-old will
remain in detention until she's 21. Per a plea deal reached
with the prosecutor's office in April, a 15-year-old girl who
has not been named because she's a minor will not be sent to
prison or be held past her 18th birthday. So the murder and
carjacking of a 66-year-old Mohammed Anwar horrified the
nation as it was captured on film by witnesses, the teen
girls arrested Anwar during the...
And they're getting off.
They are, basically.
100% getting off.
But, you know, they are minors, but at the same time, I mean...
Do they think there's just no consequence? Is that why they
do this?
Well, there aren't.
They tried to carjack him, and the car crashed and killed him.
He was hanging out of the car, and they tried to speed away
or something. There's a video of it, and I don't want to see
it. Apparently, it's horrific. I don't know what to tell you,
man. We're a country that's lost its soul. What a great thing
to end on.
Well, it's the...
You know, when you got the L.A. police officers accused of
circulating a meme mocking George Floyd's death.
Well, how about you talk about the latest LeBron News?
Oh, God.
Your favorite player.
Yeah, he's...
Are you talking about the high school shit?
LeBron.
Yeah, he just continues to be a class act.
A douche.
Yeah, so his son's playing in a tournament of high school
stars or something, and the announcer makes some comment
about how his son got a foul call because we all know who's
in the building, and I think the building's named after him.
It's LeBron Arena.
Really?
I think it is. I swear to God.
LeBron Arena?
I think it's the LeBron James Arena.
Oh, okay.
And so the announcer makes a cut.
You know, he gives him a shot and says, well, we all know why
he got that call.
Home corner advantage.
And LeBron James walks over there, confronts the announcer,
stops the game, confronts the announcer.
In front of everybody.
This one out front.
Oh, here we go.
He's got the video right here.
Look at him, talking shit.
And he walks over.
Do you know who I am?
Do you know who I think I am?
That's bullshit.
You know, I'd be hordely embarrassed if I was his son.
Yeah.
Or like dad.
And you know he's not.
At all.
He's probably like damn straight.
Yeah, tell him, Dad.
Yeah.
Yeah, whatever.
You know, we playing in, Dad.
Yeah, that's right.
We're playing in LeBron.
Yeah, yeah.
And I'm LeBron Jr.
And my son's going to be LeBron Jr.
Jr.
And his is going to be LeBron Jr.
Jr.
Jr. Jr.
Look at him talking shit.
LeBron took offense.
LeBron took offense to the announcer saying...
Ridiculous.
He said, this is my court.
Ridiculous.
Get the fuck out of here.
The policeman should have been...
Go back to your seat, fool.
The competitor, LeBron James, comes out.
He's getting some booze.
Yeah, yeah, you tell him, LeBron.
He's an intense guy.
His son's in the battle.
Yeah, you're a civilian.
Sit down and shut up.
He doesn't want his name to be mentioned while they're...
Don't make an excuse for him.
...in the meeting.
And I understand that as a parent.
Yeah, I mean, to say that he got that file because...
No, he drew that file.
It was a file.
And I'm like, I'm not going to let you get that file.
I'm going to let you get that file.
And I understand that as a parent.
Really?
Watching my daughter play and she's competing.
They're just making excuses.
Of course.
I don't want you to mention my name.
Just allow her to compete.
Don't put me in a foul.
Let's see if it was a foul.
Here he steps left, right, steps into his shot.
That's a foul?
Why did she have a foul?
Yeah, it's just crazy.
You know, he's a...
I'm curious.
This is going to sound horrible, but I really hope that his Space Jam movie flies.
I'm going to be a little bit more serious about this.
I'm curious.
This is going to sound horrible, but I really hope that his Space Jam movie flops.
Yeah, me too.
You know, not just because look, there...
There needs to be a reckoning for the way he acts.
He's not Michael Jordan.
And it seems like, you know, anytime they come out with a sequel, it's just like, you
know, this one's going to be the newer and better one with the better actors and stuff.
No, he is not.
I never even saw the first one.
I didn't either.
But still, that's not the point.
The point is that Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan was a standup individual.
Right.
You know, and he still is today.
Well, there are people that say LeBron is.
If you agree with him, he is like the most, the best character guy you can ever find.
But he flat out said that he doesn't like...
If you disagree with him, you think he's a dish bag.
He doesn't like white people.
Yeah, he's racist.
He's a racist piece of crap.
Yeah, I get it.
You know, Michael Jack, Jordan never said anything like that.
He's a racist piece of crap.
Yeah, I get it.
You know, Michael Jack, Jordan never said anything like that.
Not that I remember.
You know, it's just sad.
It is.
You know, and it's sad because he's a mentor.
People...
People look up to him.
Plus, he had that thing that happened a month or two ago when he kind of tweeted out something
that, we're coming after you after the cop in Columbus.
Yeah.
You're next.
You're next, the one who saved the girl...
Saved the girl.
...from getting stabbed, and he's got what, 40 or 50 million followers?
You're next.
Out of that 40 or 50, there's probably some wacko who would do something.
No.
One of them may have shot a police officer.
We have no idea.
Yeah.
He's got a responsibility.
Huge.
Yeah.
And he's misusing it.
Yeah, agreed.
Well, I don't know what's different this week.
Oh, when you heard...
How we...
Go ahead, sorry.
I was going to change the subject.
Well, the last thing I'll say about that is LeBron came out and his apology was he apologized to the family of the girl that
Was shot by the cop because he distracted by making that comment about the cop
He distracted attention away from where the attention should have been which is on mourning the loss of that girl
Not the fact that he almost docks the guy correct
He did he posted a picture of it. Yeah. I know yeah he did. Yeah, so yeah, that was his
Apology was to the girl. It was the wrong apology
Agreed all right sorry go ahead well
I was gonna bring attention to the lava lamp that we've included onto the table
