normal birthday. Nothing too crazy. It was lovely.

gonna do some parody songs with them maybe so
so jump up on it i don't know if i've ever mentioned
this before but weird al is my very first concert
i've ever gone to so it's kind of like a memory
thing so like uh I know there's a connection
between you and him. I don't know if that's what
I thought it was. But yeah, that's cool. I mean,
yeah, parodies too. But my very first concert
was when I went to Tennessee. We went to Dollywood
as a family trip. And we were staying in a cabin.
And nearby, Weird Al was performing in concert.
So me and my dad went and saw Weird Al together
in Tennessee. Wow. That's so cool. Thank you.
How old were you? That's important. oh i was
young very young um it was you don't know when
did when did when did white no when did white
nerdy come out when did white it was after white
nerdy 2007 okay so probably 2007 2008 i don't
know i don't know but it's somewhere around then
yeah yeah i had the white nerdy sweatshirt i
got it from that concert yeah You honestly, back
in those days, you lived that. I did. I did.
No, I didn't. You were the white nerdy boy. I
was white nerdy. Yep, I lived it. That's what
I see when I see you. Just kidding. I don't know
if I had that sweatshirt anymore. I would totally
wear that. Oh, man. Yeah, dude, I remember that
when that album came out. I thought it was so
cool. I was like, look, guys, I can rap. No,
I can't. Not even close. But yeah, I'm excited.
Yeah, it was a good birthday. I already got my
new TV hung up and everything, so I enjoyed it.
You're wall -mounted, huh? Mm -hmm. Caught up
on some shows. I watched Wonder Man, Marvel's
new show. Pretty good. I liked it. It looks decent.
Yeah, I liked it. What else did I watch? I watched
the Super Bowl when that happened. Caught up
on that. Wait, did you watch the whole Super
Bowl, or did you happen to tune into America's
Greatest Showdown? I watched. I had the whole
game on. Okay. I had the whole game on, yeah.
No, it was an all right game. At the top of the
podcast, I want to say, I know we're not a politics
podcast, but we're going to talk something about
it. Oh, no, I was already planning on it. I know
I'm bringing it a little early, but I'm just
trying to remember what I watched on TV. This
episode is going to be called the politics episode
because there's a lot going on. Oh, absolutely.
Oh, you know what I did? So the previous day
before my birthday, before we get into the politics
stuff. Um, I'm just saying it's going to be sprinkled.
We're going to sprinkle it. Of course. I want
to trash talk tech tone. I want to, I want to,
Oh, I know where that's going. I have a whole,
we have a whole trajectory of this pod. So, uh,
anyway, so day before your birthday, I, um, I
saw iron lung, uh, Markiplier's new movie. I
liked it. Man, I wanted to see it so bad. I didn't
get a chance. I liked it. I've seen two different.
I haven't watched anything about it because I
don't want to spoil it. But I've seen things
saying that it was fantastic, and then I've seen
things saying that it's terrible. So where are
we at? Are we in the middle? So here's why it's
fantastic. One, it's because. If you say it's
because it's an indie movie that got successful,
that's going to make me mad because it's not
really a real success because it's a guy who
has millions of followers on YouTube. I just
got to say that real quick. Go ahead. I've never
played the game myself, but if you know the game,
it's literally just like the game. So then why
make a movie? Because it's live action. It's
live action. But I'm saying a lot of people will
say, oh, it's very slow. But the game is slow.
It starts off slow. And then it just gets phenomenal
throughout the rest of the movie. You know how
a movie will start off slow, and then it gets
better and better and better? It builds up into
greatness? We call them slow burners. Yes, that's
exactly what it was. That's how I felt. I was
like, wow, this is getting really good. It's
like a crescendo building up to an apex of amazing
beauty. Yes. Like, I'm going to be a reviewer.
Isn't that pretty good? You should. That's pretty
good, yeah. Was it cringe, though? Was it not
cringe? I feel like seeing Markiplier just even
act would be just so cringey. No, it wasn't cringe.
Okay, well, that's good. So, okay, I want to
say it like this. This isn't really a spoiler.
This isn't a spoiler whatsoever. You can kind
of already tell. It's kind of like if you watched
127 Hours or Buried. First of all. I like 127
Hours. I know you love Buried. But that's an
insult to movie making. But yes, that's pretty
cool. What do you mean? It's just a dark box.
It's cheating. I'm not saying it without spoiling
it. So is it. i can ask this right the only thing
i know about iron lung is that there's blood
involved there's like an ocean of blood i don't
know yeah yeah true yes um and then the only
other thing i know all right i'm guessing is
it like an isolation thing where it's just one
person is it just market player yeah That's where
I was going with the whole 127 hours in buried.
That's why I didn't want to spoil it. But if
you said it, go ahead. I mean, I respect it.
I mean, I saw the trailers. I mean, there is
there is like other people in the movie, but
it's just his his body is the only body you see.
That's wonderful. Yeah, but it's really good.
I really I really enjoyed it. And he's he's getting
very it's being a very successful movie. So.
I'm happy to see that as for a YouTube creator,
you know? Yes, that is wonderful. And I, you've
made me want to see it more. So that's good.
Good. Good. Yeah. I like that. I don't, is this
still even, I don't even know if it's even still
playing. Honestly, I think it was, I don't know
if it was like a weekend. Yeah. I don't know.
I know it wasn't just that weekend. Cause I saw
it. I was, I almost went and saw the other day.
So, but did you, apparently it did so well that
they took it off the charts. They took it off
the charts. What do you mean? It was one of the
top movies of that weekend, and then they took
it off the next weekend because it was doing
so well compared to other movies. That's called
a cope. I swear they took the movie off. Well,
yeah, they probably did, but it was a limited
run, wasn't it? I thought that was the whole
point. I think it was a limited run because it
wasn't even supposed to be a worldwide thing.
It was only supposed to be select theaters. yeah
i wanted to get the i wanted to get the popcorn
bucket but uh apparently it's only uh but apparently
it's only something you 3d print it was an actual
bucket that you get like at the at regal so i
was like oh buying something off of like timu
you got to do it yeah you got to do it yourself
i was like well i mean that that's different
But yeah, I actually just had a conversation
about these popcorn bucket things. I mean, what
is your stance on these things? I think they're
great and all, but like. It's too many to collect.
Price tags. That too. Price tags on some of these
suckers. Yeah. But listen, this is why, this
is where I came up. I was, I was sitting there
thinking, yeah, that sucks. This is, that's really
expensive. Cause I think I saw the five nights
at Freddy's one was like, like 60 to $90. I'm
not sure which would have been. But I'm like,
man, that would suck. But then I thought, man,
how cool would it have been? For all those movies
that are iconic, like Shawshank Redemption. Imagine
eating popcorn out of Dufresne's shoe. Right.
That's a monumental moment. It really solidifies.
So it's like, is the price tag worth it? Because
these things only go to theaters once. Yeah.
Well, usually. And then you'd have to go to eBay
and all that. Because it is kind of like, it
makes it the ultimate collector's gift. Because
it's like opening. I don't know. I'm torn. It's
kind of like when Jaws had their 50th anniversary
and they put it back in theaters. I would have
just went for the popcorn bucket because it was
just like you eat out of Jaws' mouth. Oh, really?
Yeah. And that's the thing. So many people are
– so many movies are doing them. I don't even
– they're going right by my head. I don't even
know who has a popcorn bucket. Next is Scream.
Scream comes out next weekend. Yeah, I have a
bone to pick with a Super Bowl. Please, if I'm
watching the Super Bowl with my family, children,
let's not show a Scream. Let's not show that.
How about we don't show that? How about we don't
show that trailer to my children who were terrified?
Were they really? Yeah. Screaming. It's terrifying.
Why do they do that? I don't know. They didn't
even show a Marvel trailer this year. That was
crazy. I didn't catch all the commercials. But
I imagine the popcorn bucket for Scream is was
it going to be like a face? Probably. Yeah. I
can't tell if it's like a really innovative,
cool thing that companies are doing or if it's
like a stupid cash grab. I can't I really can't
tell. What's the what is it? It's sort of like
a certain movie that started the whole popcorn
bucket thing and then all the movies started
doing it. Trying to think of the first movie
I even remember where it happened. Yeah. I don't
even know, but it's like it's been in. I know
that Fantastic Four. I mean, this is going back
before even. Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah. It's a
couple of years. Yeah, it's been a couple of
years. I've never once. I remember thinking like,
oh, this is like a one off type thing. This movie
is doing this special thing. Yeah. How cool.
And then all the movies were like, oh, I want
to do it, too. Yeah. Which is cool. Cause I mean,
like, like we said earlier, it's a collector
thing. You collect them and then it's like a
memory. So I'd rather collect those than the
stinking Funko pops, whatever that, you know,
like, yeah. Cause I mean, like I have some of
those and they're just in my garage. I don't
have any Funko pops actually. That's surprising.
I wish I did. I would have thought you'd have
been like, if I ever visited your house, you'd
be like, Flint, come here. I'm like, what? And
you'd be like, come here, come here. And you'd
like open up like this wall. And it was just
going to be nothing but Funko Pops. Yeah, I would
have thought for sure you'd have had like, you
know, in Harry Potter when they go to the Diagon
Alley with the bricks. I feel like that would
have been you. You'd have like a sequence and
you'd see your layer of like. I might now. I
might now. That's interesting. Yeah, I might
now. That sounds cool. Yeah. But yeah, Scream
7 is the next movie I plan on seeing. That comes
out. So next weekend is Valentine's Day, and
then it's the following weekend. Yeah, yeah.
You excited for V -Day? You got your Valentines
ready? Got my cats ready. Yes, I do. By the way,
did they get you anything for your birthday?
Your cats? Were you one of those cat dads that
were like, you gave them a gift to give to you?
Their gift to me is their presents. yeah what
kind of presents which kind of like their presents
like them to me it's called a little fun pun
yeah i got you it's a little fun i like doing
a little fun thing i caught on i caught on i'm
trying to think um media wise i mean movies and
all that i probably have seen stuff i mean i
just I kind of went back and just started rewatching
The Office, even though I've seen it a million
times, but that's kind of all I've been doing.
Just kind of staying in a place that's comfortable,
you know? Hey, that's a comfort show. That's
how I was with Parks and Rec for a long time.
Well, that's my cycle. I'll go from this and
then I'll move to Parks and Rec. And then maybe
community, but you know. Times are tough. Times
are tough. There's too much to watch. I spend
so much time looking for things to watch. I know
this is everybody's complaint. I spend so much
time looking and then just settling on something
I've already seen. A lot of time. I try to watch
them and then I'm like, yeah, but I'll search
for 10 minutes and be like, you know what? Maybe
I shouldn't watch something. Yeah. My food's
already cold. I've already eaten my food by then.
Yeah, I got to be careful that I've kind of trained
my kids to like, you know, all that stuff they
warned you about. You always hear like, don't
have kids, don't have tablet kids, don't have
TV. They just love it more than anything in the
world. It's hard. It's not simple. We were video
game kids, so it's fine. So we've been we've
been practicing having, you know, no movies on
while we have even like snacks and stuff. Really?
It's going pretty well. Okay, good. You know,
big family time. Yeah, that's good. Very good.
A little tip out there for people. Yeah. The
Grammys happened. Did we not talk about the Grammys
already? No, because the Grammys happened, I
think, last week. Oh, I think we talked about
the Golden Globes. Yeah, we talked about the
Golden Globes, yeah. But we didn't talk about
the Grammys. What a pain that was. All those
terrible movies that I'd never heard of. Well,
I feel like the Grammys are a lot more categories.
Yeah, I'm never doing that again. We're not going
to go through a list of things I don't know.
I just can't do that. Maybe the Game Awards,
but even that. Yeah, I don't even really know
who won this year, to be honest. The Grammys?
Yeah. The Boithrob win? I know I meant to talk
to you about Boithrob, but you've heard of them
by now, right? Uh -huh. I'm a big Boithrob fan.
I don't know who I'm. Sure. You are a Throbber.
Uh -huh. I'm a Throbber. I'm a Darshan main.
Okay. So you don't know what I'm talking about.
No. Yeah. Boithrob's amazing. Anybody just, I
love Boithrob. Just know that they're a band.
Cool. Kind of a meme band. You got to experience
that. Yeah, of course. Right, right. Of course.
Yeah. You'll get there, kid. So who won the Grammys?
Do you win a Grammy? Do multiple people win?
Yeah, everyone. It's categories, right? Yeah.
Wasn't someone mad that someone won? Or is that
every year? I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. There
was a lot of like. There was a lot of like speeches
that ended in political talk that made people
mad. I heard. So, yeah. Come on. Now's not the
right time. Yeah. It's like full every single
day. Something catastrophic is happening. Right.
Someone's got to say something. Yeah. I can't
wait to pick your brain on all this stuff. Oh,
OK. Can't wait to see how informed you are on
the world. I try. But the Olympics are happening
right now, too. Yeah. How do you watch that?
I don't know. Get a hell. I tried to watch it.
I typed in, you know, Winter Olympics on YouTube.
I was like, oh, yeah. And I don't want clips
and little tiny snippets. Is there not like a
just like a one side one, you know, a broadcast?
Yeah, there's got to be a broadcast somewhere.
Yeah. I only tried one spot, but yeah, I don't
know. I just know it's in Italy right now, so
whatever's doing Italy. That's all I know. Did
you ever dream of being an Olympian? No. Nah.
Not even? Really? No. Not even when they came
out with that breakdancing thing? No. Well, you're
a hip -hop kind of guy. I don't know why I immediately
thought of that Jamie Kennedy movie when you
said that. Malibu's Most Wanted? No, he did a
breakdancing movie. Oh, did he? Kicking it old
school, yeah. You never seen that? Sounds familiar.
Kicking it old school, yeah, he did breakdancing.
Sounds very familiar. I mean, I would try breakdancing.
I've never done it. You look like a breakdancer.
You just have that look about you. I could do
it. That doesn't sell it. You gotta do a different
little dance move. I'm kidding. You look like
a shoe. Your shirt. I'm wearing a Flyers sweatshirt.
I'm repping the Flyers. That's hockey? Yes. Pretty
good, huh? Not bad for me. I like the Flyers.
Yeah, that's good. Where were we? I don't even
remember. You talked a little bit about movies.
You saw Iron Lung. I saw Iron Lung, yeah. You
didn't get the popcorn bucket. That's fine. Well,
I had to make it myself. I don't think I saw
any movies at all since the last time we spoke.
I don't think I've even tried. Okay. Oh, I saw.
Did I mention that I saw Weapons? No. I didn't
mention that? I don't think so. Okay. I liked
that. I hear it's good. Have you seen Weapons?
I haven't. I know it's on HBO Max, but I haven't
had a chance to check it out yet. I'm a fan.
OK, I like that type of movie. I don't know if
you like what you do. You're a big horror fan,
but this is a typical it's not a typical horror
movie. It's a it's a horror movie that is worthy
of being nominated for a Golden Globe. OK, which
is very rare. Yeah. OK, I'm down. So I'm always
down for a good movie. You know that? Yeah. Yeah.
I'm not going to. I love how we just just say,
yeah, that movie is good. And everyone's just
like. Cool. I wish I could watch it. No, no.
Other media? No. Does media count as games? Like
I said, I mean... I haven't played any new games.
Not new. I mean, just in general. I mean, Fortnite
released Ed, Edd, and Eddie. I bought Ed. In
Fortnite. Of course you do. I have to. I had
to. Fortnite's stressing me out. They're doing
too much. Too many collabs, right? Can't keep
up with that. Yeah. The office. Did you get the
office skins? I did, yeah. Did you? Yeah. Nice.
You got to, though. But it's like, I'm getting
tired of it. I can't do it. I don't even play.
You know what I mean? Like, you just got that
FOMO. That's how I felt when I got it. I was
like, well, I guess I can play and I got to finish
the South Park Pass anyway, so I might as well,
you know? Well, I've been, I know you're not
a fan of this game or you haven't spent a lot
of time on it, but I have immersed myself back
into the world of Minecraft. Okay. For the longest
time, it's been like, you know, for my son. Yeah.
You know, because he's a big, huge, you know,
mega fan. Very cool. But I've delved in. Man,
have you ever, your boy, I spent hours, I don't
even know if you know what I'm talking about,
but people who play Minecraft probably do, if
you've ever really tried seriously. Okay. I tried
probably for 10 plus hours to build a XP farm.
Have you ever heard of these? I'm terrible at
this game. So I built this farm. so minecraft
there's so many little nuances and little things
that you got to learn right uh so i had to like
build this giant tower in the sky but anyway
i for apparently it only takes an hour but it
literally took me 10 hours so oh i'm but yeah
i've been i've been doing that i've been learning
all about it the grind i'll send you a screenshot
okay i like that yeah um i built a symbol once
oh yeah and then the craft yeah i think you told
me that i built a symbol in a group oh i'd like
to see that i'd like to see your group i think
i have a screenshot somewhere that'd be cool
yeah but yeah that's mostly all i've been doing
i've just been playing that whenever i have a
a moment and um that's very cool man yeah that's
yeah that's my life that's all it's been yeah
that and and just you know day -to -day stuff
yeah i haven't i haven't played anything new
um I've been streaming here and there. I know
with Valentine's Day coming up, I might do a
dating sim, you know. If it feels right to do
a dating sim on Valentine's Day, you know. I
might have to, you know. I don't know. I have
a few on my wish list that I'm going to check
out. Yeah, I mean, other than that, I don't really
know what other games to really play. That's
fine. Let's move on to Jeffrey Epstein. That's
perfect. Jeffrey Epstein. I was going to say
it's Groundhog Day. Groundhog Day passed and
we have more winter. This is kind of like that.
It's six more weeks of politics and what's going
on. Have you read the files? A little bit. Not
everything. I've seen stuff here and there. Yes.
Do you think children are being consumed? Yeah.
Oh, wow. Okay. Well, that's it. It's Jeffrey
Epstein. Yeah. I don't know. It's crazy. My entire
feed, everything has been Jeff Epstein since...
How long has it been since that's come out now?
It's been at least a week. Maybe a week and a
half, two weeks. I don't know. Three million
pages dropped overnight or over day. Some celebrities
are in it, yeah. Some celebrities, your boy DiCaprio
is in there, but he's just on a flight log, I
think. Bill Gates with his, you know, his his
broken wiener. Mm hmm. You know, you see that
stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Jay -Z. Gonorrhea. Oh, Jay
-Z? I don't know the truth. I mean, I know that
Jay -Z's allegations, I don't really know. I
haven't read it personally. I just keep on hearing
that his name is in there. Was he selling children?
Is that what I think I've heard? Oh, I don't
know that. I just thought his name was in it.
I've read some stuff about Jay -Z having children
for sale. I don't know if it's true, but it's
kind of wild. Yeah, that's wild. There's so many
things that are... There's so many wild statements
in here that you can't even begin to unravel
one. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I think
that's probably with intent. But, you know, after
reading the one about Biden getting shot in the
face or whatever, and now he's wearing a mask.
Yeah. That's 2019. I mean. But it kind of tracks,
you know what I mean? That's what's weird about
it. Yeah. I don't know. What was your favorite
accusation? Go ahead, I'll listen. My favorite
accusation? I don't know if I have a favorite
accusation. What's your favorite J .F. saga?
When he ordered the semi -trailer of sulfuric
acid? No. You know what? I always remember. I
don't know why I keep thinking of this, but it's
like one of the very first ones that always pop
up. It's one of Chris Tucker when he's like this.
At the camera. You don't know what I'm talking
about? The picture of Chris Tucker when he's
looking at the camera and he's like, why are
you taking a picture of me? No, I don't know.
No, you didn't see that one? I'm sure it may
be. I just like how it's inserted. Chris, Chris
Tucker's looking at any like. Yeah, you're wondering
why I'm asking you about Jeffrey. I don't think
you're in it. Oh, I'm not into it. No. That's
what you're worried about. That would be crazy.
I could do a keyword search. What if he's like,
I have one, my favorite Twitch streamer, DJ Dubsy,
my favorite. I wouldn't be surprised if you just
made up some AI picture. Yeah. There's, there's
a lot of really interesting stuff. So what, I
mean, you don't have a favorite thing though.
You don't have one that's, when I say favorite,
I mean, most memorable. No. Yeah, I guess. What
was your most memorable moment of the episode?
It should be framed like that. The most jaw -dropping.
What do you want to know more of? I can't think
of the right word. I don't know if I necessarily
want to know more of. No? You don't want to know
more of them eating kids? It's kind of weird.
Well, just kind of weird. It's a little icky,
I guess. But I've always known that I've always
known the eating kids accusation that's been
going around for years. Well, it's not just eating
kids, but yeah. Yeah, I know. But like how they're
saying the pizza gate and all that. Yeah, it's
it's it's insanity. There's there's there's people
in this world. They're not like us, Ronnie. Just
like Kendrick Lamar was singing about, and they're
not like us. Yeah, not like us. Yeah. But like,
maybe he's like them too. I think that was, I
feel like that was a little before Kendrick's
time. So I think, I think he's okay. Oh, I think
J F would be, he's probably from the future.
He probably would grab him when he went to the
past. You think he's still alive? Yes. Okay.
Well, hold on. Well, there's someone saying that
he was, there's one of the security guards or
someone, whoever, by the way, I mean, Hiding
with a long beard. Got his beard going. I don't
know if that's it. I don't know. But there's
like some report of someone saying that he is
alive somewhere. I don't know. It usually is.
When a dead person dies, they're usually still
alive somewhere. Well, maybe he's hanging out
with Elvis. Maybe. Yeah, in Argentina. Yeah.
With Hitler. Yeah. They're all together. They're
all together. Maybe. That'd be crazy. Tupac's
there. Yeah. Yeah. The Pac dad. Yeah. So do you
think that he has two, two girls buried on his
ranch in New Mexico? Oh, I don't, I don't, I
didn't see that. Yeah. No. Do you think that
Trump actually, it sounds like I say that R worded.
So people is terrible. I should say I may. This
is through the lens of comedic laughter, but
this is all. Yeah, of course. I don't know. No,
no, no, no. Yeah. Just just just to put that
out there. But yeah, it's just there's too many
accusations in every direction. I mean, where
do you even begin? Who would you prosecute first?
I too many names in the files, man. I don't know.
Yeah. If you were to prosecute, you would just
let them off? No, no, no, no, no. If they're
guilty, get them, please. That's not cool. Do
you think Ghislaine Maxwell should be pardoned?
What? Do you think she should be pardoned or
have clemency? Even if she can give out names
of people? Oh, wait, that's a good point. I don't
think you've ever thought about it. No. If they're
guilty, please let them get caught. If their
name is just in the files, it's just like a mention.
And it's cool. But if their name is in there
and it's serious stuff, look into it, please.
Yeah. I mean, I think the issue is like even
a mention could be bad. That's like the whole
thing. Cause you know, there's like a very small
part where they're just like, he's like, Oh yeah,
I love the torture video. Did you see what John
could be? Just one small person. Did you see
what John, John Stewart was saying? Which yeah,
John Stewart was like, well, my name's in the
files. Yeah. And then he was like, and then they
said they wanted somebody like John Stewart.
He's like, what do you mean? Like John Stewart?
Yeah. That was, that was pretty funny. Yeah.
Classic J Stu. Yeah. Yeah. We never really did
talk about the file since that happened, huh?
Well, we've always avoided that type of stuff.
It's unavoidable right now. That's why I'm putting
you on the spot. I want to see what you're thinking.
I don't get to know. You don't ever share with
me. You know I'm not a political guy. It'd be
crazy if you were like, yeah, Jay Epstein, innocent.
Oh yeah, he's alive. I saw him last week. You
know, but like, Part of me can be convinced.
And obviously this is hyperbole. This isn't really
that true. But like, you know, I've seen things
like he's a fall guy and everything was just
because some of the way they talk in the emails
are so blatant. Yeah. It feels like it's like,
OK, yeah, make sure everyone looks here and convict
him rather than someone else. And then but if
he was killed rather than killed himself, if
he was, you know. In that jail or whatever, which
they were pretty sure that that is the case.
Yeah, I think like I think I saw some original
testimony from someone who saw the whatever.
It's not indicative of a suicide. Oh, and anyway,
that means someone else is out there. OK. Yeah.
All right. Yeah. Yeah. So what if what if he
was just like the first in a long line of bad
guy bosses? Hmm. And we don't even get to know
the end of it. You want to know why? Because
you won't let Ghislaine Maxwell have clemency.
Yeah. So she can speak names. Right, right. That's
a joke. Joke, everybody. I know, I know. But
no, that's usually how stuff happens. You know,
it starts with one guy and then it's a bigger
guy and then another guy after him. And then
it's just a long line of different guys. So maybe,
who knows? Well, I know that we've had like you've
seen movies. I can't think of a specific one,
but you've seen truth serum in like James Bond.
Is that stuff not real? Hmm. So we can legally,
you know, put people on the death penalty, kill
them in chairs with electricity. But we can't
just give someone some truth serum and ask a
few questions. True. F word, you're right. F
word, the rights. Yeah, you're not wrong. You're
not wrong. Is truth serum real? Is it real? I
don't know. But you'd think that that would solve
a lot of issues. Yeah. Or just like a horse tranquilizer,
something. I'm sure there's something they're
hiding. I'm sure. No, I mean like to just, I
don't mean they're hiding a horse tranquilizer.
No, no, I know. I'm just saying like truth serum.
Oh, yeah. You got it. It's got to be real. That'll
get them high or something. Like, hey, Galen,
you want a joint? Yeah. Yeah. Is there anybody?
I mean, I want to be that cop. That's like, you
know, there's good cop and then there's high
cop. You want to be the high cop? Yeah. You just
get people high and just see what happens. It
should be that way. It really should. It would
be so fun. You start messing with them. But,
you know, when you drink or you're inebriated,
some people get brutally honest. Yeah. She's
like, yep, we did it. We effing killed people.
You know, she might be like, and you know what
the funniest part is? She might just think it's
funny. It'll happen all the time. Yeah. Just
take her out of these courtroom settings to plead
in the fifth. It's crazy. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah.
So let's move on to something less, I guess,
less polarizing. Oh, you mean like the political
bull that happened? Yeah, the Super Bowl. The
political bull. Yeah. I assume that you're a
giant Bad Bunny fan. I like Bad Bunny. Yeah,
you actually have liked him for a long time.
I remember. You've been talking about him for
a while. So what are your thoughts? You think
that he should be deported? No, I thought it
was a very good show. I thought it was very entertaining.
Of course, I didn't understand what he was saying,
but I enjoyed the show. You could still dance
to it. He had a pretty cool setup. Pretty good
15 -minute show. I thought it was good overall.
He had a pretty good message with it. What was
there to hate? Do you think it should have ended
with him being deported? No. Why not? I'll tell
you why, because he's an American citizen. Exactly.
All right, let's chill out. Let's just chill
out. You don't got to have your own separate
show and call it a Super Bowl halftime show when
it's not even nowhere on a field. You mean the
all -American turning point halfway house show,
whatever that half it was? Yeah. And they had
like four people perform. Yeah, and it was pretty
cringe. I'm not going to lie. You don't want
to just catch your fish, mow your lawn, grab
a beer. You don't want to do anything? I want
to be able to talk to my daughter about how little
boys can't be little girls. You know what that
reminded me of? The most ridiculous things ever.
Well, yeah, but remember in Parks and Rec when
Bo Burnham played that country artist? Yes. literally
that yes it's very parks and rec the entire it's
it's almost feels satirical i mean kid rock yeah
first of all i have no i don't really care that
song that he had the cowboy babe that's fun i
don't care they're great music okay i was gonna
say this too i i like kid rock's music i do i
like it who does i mean people will say No, I
don't like that. You did. You know that when
him and Shania Twain sang that song, you were
crying. Right. I don't personally like that lyric.
I personally don't like that lyric that's going
around of one of his songs. But other than that,
his music's good. The topless girls and the 14.
The one that he says he likes. He likes them
young and it's not. Yeah. It's like he likes
them young and he calls it. He calls it. Mandatory
or something like that. Statutory is mandatory.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't personally
like that, but I do like his music. I have his
CDs. Like, come on. I mean, that's what I'm saying.
When he was out poppin' before, I mean, we were
all like, cowboy band. We were all doin' it.
Yeah. We were speaking that demonic language.
We were doing it. But it just feels different
when he's headlining for basically the president.
It's just crazy. The turning point. You mean
all that and they didn't get Tom McDonald? That's
crazy. They could have. It could have, yeah.
I don't even know any other people's name other
than Kid Rock. I've seen Brantley Gilbert was
one of them. I've actually seen Brantley Gilbert
live because he's been at the State Fair. I do
like Brantley Gilbert, but he was at the State
Fair. I've seen him. I don't know who that is.
I know he's got a goofball name. Brantley Gilbert?
Yeah, he's a country artist, obviously. That's
a goofy name. Like when he was born, they're
like, yeah, we got to give him a country artist
name. Cause that is the most. Brantley Gilbert.
And then, and then it's, it was like Gabby Bray,
Gabby Barrett. I don't know. I like Gabby Barrett
better. Gabby Barrett sounds like a country artist.
Gabby Barrett. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, but
I just, I just can't get over all of it. You
know? Yeah. Talking about that, that like left
or right or whatever side of. whoever's where
i'm kind of i don't identify with either just
no i'm a fence i'm a fence sitter yeah absolutely
you know that we talk about it no i am too yeah
like if you told me right now you're like yeah
i just love my blood runs red i'd be like yeah
i love it too yeah so just because i don't want
to fight with you right now i'm the same way
i'm like hey listen i've always said this i've
said this before if um if if you believe in something
and you're cool with me Cool. We're not, I don't
want to fight with you about it. Let's just,
I have my opinion. Do you have your opinions?
We're cool. So you would have, yo, so you would
have really got along with Jeff. Oh my God. You'd
have been really good. Oh my God. Yeah. You know
what I say? I'm a fence sitter. I mean, just
like, because I don't feel like going into it.
How do you feel about celebrity sharing their
opinions? Well, I guess it depends on the, if
it's the correct opinion. Well, of course, of
course. But I'm just saying like, I don't know.
There's just like people like get mad at like
celebrities for sharing their opinions when they're
pretty much doing the same thing. It's just not
a public thing. But I also I also like to think
of it like this, like like Billy Bob Thornton.
He says he said he said it, too. He was like,
don't he was like. If you're a celebrity, nobody
should care about your opinions. I mean, you're
not a you're not a politician. So, yeah, of course.
But I mean, I mean, but at the same time, we're.
these people are idolized for everything that
they say. So it's just, it's just like, you can't
have one without the other. Of course, they're
going to speak on things that are important to
them. Of course. It'd be insane. Cause if they
don't, you know what, they're going to get just
as much flack. And we just saw that with, I mean,
this is a minor level, but with Emeru and, and,
and stuff, we were going to get there too. Yeah.
Yeah. You know, saying something and not saying
something, and they're almost equally important.
It's, you know, imagine if bad bunny, when he
got, when he gave that accepted speech for whatever,
you know, he didn't say anything. Right. About
about the current political climate. Yeah. People
would people be like, oh, poser. He's not really,
you know. I mean, his message during the Super
Bowl halftime show was like, love each other.
Yeah. And everybody's mad at him. I know. I know.
It's crazy. I don't understand. Because if it's
globalist agenda is what they say. Yeah. I thought
we were all one. Yeah. Kind human nature. I love
seeing all the TikToks of people showing half
of their families watching the Bad Bunny Super
Bowl. Some people are watching the Kid Rock on
the other TV in the other room. That's great.
That's funny. I just loved how when the Kid Rock
thing first came out, everyone was just like,
you will not believe how half of the entire world
turned off the Super Bowl to watch. And then
they find out they're viewbotting. Yeah. They
had like maybe across all platforms, like 20
million compared to like 135 million viewers
on the Super Bowl. The Puppy Bowl had more than
them. Who? The Puppy Bowl. The Puppy Bowl did?
Oh. Yeah. Can't miss a good Puppy Bowl. Of course.
You can't miss that. But going back to that thing,
I don't know. I feel like if I had like a like
if I was in their position and I had a voice,
I would just be like, I don't really want to
offend anybody. My opinion is my opinion. But,
you know, I just like I wouldn't want to offend
people that are fans of me. You know what I mean?
So it's like I'm not I'd be cool sharing my opinion,
but also I just don't. you know, want to, you
know what I mean? They would tear you apart.
That's a, they would rip you to shreds. I'm not,
I'm not a politician backbone. And I'm going
to say, and I'm going to say, I'm not a politician
struggling in the world. And you have a ball,
you have a platform and you can help us. You
can help us with just your words and you won't
do nothing. I'm an entertainment. I'm not a politician.
It doesn't matter. You'll never win. I know.
I'm never going to win. No, no, you never win
against the voice of the people. I kind of enjoyed
what Chris Pratt said recently. I don't know
if you saw his take on just like he I believe
he leans to the right. I think he does. But I
like what he said on Bill Maher's podcast. Did
you catch that? I don't know. I don't think he
probably did. I think I think I know what you're
talking about. I saw a few things. I saw him
talking about AI, but I feel like I did hear
him say something. This is me layman's terms
and giving, you know, a rundown of the gist.
It is probably going to be not exactly what he
said in any means. But from what I understood,
it was like there's a lot going on that's bad.
But like, I don't want that to overshadow any
good thing that happens out of the administration.
I did see this because it's like your personality
becomes, oh, the person that hates Trump or the
person that hates the right. And it's just like
you won't allow. any positive thing to come from
it you know what i mean yeah when there's something
that is like objectively good like whatever it
may be there's not a lot out there because i'm
i'm also in the stink of like anything that happens
in this administration i'm like you know i'm
not too pleased with but right right right too
but you know that doesn't mean everything's terrible
right exactly pharmacy pharmacy prices have gone
down i mean overall i mean that's great for me
And then when, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You got the,
I was going to say Mr. Diabetes. No, I'm sorry.
I'll take it. Like you were bragging about it.
Okay. Mr. Diabetes. Mr. Diabetes. I don't know.
It's just. Yeah. There's good and bad to everything,
man. There's good and bad to everything. I will
say it's way more bad than good. Yeah. There's
nothing – I feel like there's just nothing anyone
can do about it until the Republicans are out
of office and then the next one comes. And then
in four years after that, it will just all be
undone that way and then just forever. Everything
is going to change. Every four years, something
is going to change. Meanwhile, everything that
you and I are experiencing is all being at the
very top level by people like Jeffrey Epstein
controlling everything. Yeah. All right? Yeah.
Yeah. It's all created – I sound like a conspiracy
theorist, but it's true. Okay? Yeah. We're there.
Yeah. This is it. This is what you've read about
in books when you were a kid about a dystopian
future. We're there. Yeah. He had a bank account
named after a demon that sacrifices children.
Oh, come on. Can it be any more? Actually, I
don't know if that's true. But it doesn't matter.
Yeah, I'm loving this slam. I'm liking this.
Oh, opinionated? Yeah, I'm liking this. It's
not my fault. It's just been everywhere. I can't
avoid it. I know, I know. It's unavoidable. And
now it's in our space because of the whole Emeru
thing. So how do you feel about that? So I don't
know the full scope other than she felt the need
to... Post a really long Twitter. Yeah. You didn't
see the actual. You didn't see the clip. Oh I
didn't even know there was a clip. No I haven't
seen it. So that's the whole context of it. So
pretty much there's a clip going around. Of her.
Disavowing. Her mod asked her something about
ice. And then Emeru was. Kind of just saying
like. She doesn't really. want to talk about
it and that uh she doesn't think that people
should really go to streamers for you know political
advice that's fair yeah i mean i think that that's
a fair stance i think it's very fair yeah i think
it's a fair stance to say that or just really
even anything i mean like you can say yeah i
don't really support it yeah you know i mean
it doesn't have to be so dramatic yeah because
uh people got a lot of flack for that right people
are like real ticked People attacked Katie B
for that too, because Katie B wouldn't say, you
know, anything about ice. Like she wouldn't say
F ice or anything like that. Well, it just feels
like a weird economy where they're just like,
Hey, something or not like you. Yeah. I mean,
yeah. I wouldn't want to feel that pressure to
have a stance. Yeah. Especially when you're just
like, I just, you try to play video games and
where. What is it? Costumes? Cosplay. She just
wants to do that. Go to Hasan if you want to
do that. Or don't go to him either. Go to Hasan.
Go to Asmongold. Don't go to him either. They're
all trash. I'm being funny. They're all just
so... I know. I know. It's just annoying. I just
can't do it anymore. Yeah. They just need to
stop talking about each other. I don't care.
Yeah. And I'll put the streamer beef people.
Well, the beef was fine all the way up until
it's just when it's just so hyper localized on
two people. Yeah. Or three. You know what I mean?
I wish I miss it back. I miss when there was
a good old scandal. Everyone had us. You know
what I mean? Right. It's just like it's like
real world stuff. It's kind of like. What? I
miss just like when, what's his name? When, you
know, when he leaked, he showed his page to the
Lakari dude, you know? Oh yeah. Get some more
of that. Yeah. That's fine. Let's get that level.
You know, we, we, we do the little shame dance
on somebody and then canceled for a few months
and then they go to kick and then they, or whatever.
He was, he got, he got banned off kick too. But
yeah, I get what you're saying. Yeah. That's
good. But yeah, so now, so yeah. Tech Tone. So
he lost his court case. Yeah. What's your opinions
on this man? I feel like you were. I don't like
Tech Tone. But I mean, there was a time where
I think that he was more valued. I mean, even
just a year ago when I first heard about him,
he was a bigger guy then. So, yeah. So I like
the only losing weight turned you into a monster
type situation. Or is this like a I don't know.
I just like. It's like his first band. After
his first band, he just went crazy. Listen, I
used to listen to Sake and Eggs all the time.
I listened to Tectone and all them. I listened
to him and Asman and Emeru. I liked the podcast
for a while and then all that happened. He got
kicked off and then it was Lakari. I didn't know
he got kicked off. I guess I missed all that
drama. Where was I? Where were we? He didn't
necessarily get kicked off. He didn't necessarily
get... kicked off for the steak and eggs he kind
of just left because of all the controversy and
then as been gold left after his yeah so but
he's the guys i need to i need to take a step
back there's too much people talking about me
meanwhile he's on twitter he's on twitter talking
trash about every little person yeah it's really
calling them names and he's been like a little
fire that's been like building for like a while
on every feed that i've seen i'm glad to see
him um be humbled hopefully Dude, I unfollowed
him and he still shows up on my feed. I'm like,
get off my feed. No, don't unfollow him. I did.
Don't do that. I unfollowed. My unfollow is never
coming back. No, no. There's a chance for redemption.
Don't you believe in second chances, third, fourth,
eighth chances? With him? Yeah, why not? Be a
nicer guy. You'd forgive other people. Be a nicer
guy. yeah i know i don't really care for his
rhetoric or how he speaks it just feels so like
have you heard the term grifting have you heard
that term do you understand it took me a long
time to understand it but his feels like a 100
grift like saying things purely just to maintain
his audience that he know he's cultivated you
know what i mean yeah of you know just people
that are really really far on that side and thought
he knows what to say so he's just gonna keep
saying it yeah yeah i get it i i've grifted before
but you know like to children like you know i
pretend to be you know clumsy yeah you know it's
yeah clumsy it's cool kind of what he's it's
kind of yeah clumsy's in yeah yeah very very
clumsy's big what do you think your grift is
oh diabetes yeah diabetes oh ronnie's on his
diabetes grift again um i don't know yeah i don't
know i don't know if i have one either yeah it's
kind of we all we all do it we all do it's just
yeah it's just at the moment i think another
word would be like pander right would pander
be a good word like you pander to an audience
you Maybe. You show them the sides of you that
you want them to see. Yeah. I think that applies.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think just with
a grift, it's disingenuous. I think that's the
whole point. Pandering would be like you're trying
to get someone in your favor, where grifting
is like you really could care less, but you know
that this gets you clicks. It'll work, right?
Yeah. Yeah. Because I just can't see someone
having those opinions and be like a real person.
I wonder how this guy is off the internet, just
talking to people. Do you think he just goes
to a restaurant and he's just being the most
disrespectful person to a waitress? Part of me
does think he might be that. I don't know anymore.
I've lost my ability to gauge whether or not
these people are trash or just grifters. I think
there's a path for redemption for everybody.
Yeah, of course. But I did find it kind of ironic
that like so I did this where I knew about the
Emory stuff just because of the Tectone crap,
because I saw him. He said she wasn't talking
about me. Like, is it that like if I saw that
tweet and then I saw a line of a twenty thousand
people, I like, oh, that's about Tectone. Yeah,
that's about that guy. Absolutely right. It has
to be right. Yeah. He was like, no, it's not
about me. We're friends. Yeah. So for context,
so she in her message, she said she distanced
herself rather than talk about her stances and
opinions on people that she doesn't really want
to collaborate with rather than have like a big
thing where she talks about it. She's the one
that ended Steak and Eggs. She just distanced
herself from these. Yeah. She's the reason Steak
and Eggs ended. Right. Yeah. But I mean, is she
the reason or is the trash co -hosts that led
to the downfall of wanting someone to leave?
They led to it, but she's the one that said,
all right, yeah, let's just. No, because I feel
like without Emeru, Steak and Eggs wouldn't really,
you know what I mean? Can you imagine our future
when we break up over politics? Over something?
I can't do it with Ronnie no more. He just can't
stop talking about Weird Al. He just can't let
Weird Al go. I'm just done. We would make it
fun. I'm going to have like an explosive. Ron,
I can't say the word explosive without thinking
diarrhea right after. Every time I say the word
explosive, my first thought is diarrhea. Why
am I like this? You're going to make the craziest
tweet about me. Yeah, I will. FDJWC, I wish he
never went to Nickelodeon in Slime Studios. And
then I'm going to respond with a 20 minute video
of me just standing in the camera like this talking.
Do you think Mizkiff reads off a paper when he
talks? I wouldn't be surprised. I haven't seen
any Mizkiff clips. The way he talks, it sounds
like he reads. If he does or he doesn't, I respect
that. I don't know. I haven't been up to date
on the Miz Kif stuff, but I think that whatever
he's doing is putting him in front of my feed.
You know what I mean? So he's definitely got
a plan for rehabilitation. He shows up on my
feed too. Every time there's a controversy, he
gets involved. Yeah. Some would say, and I hate
to do this, some would say he's grifting. I don't
know. Some would say that. It does feel like
that because most people pay attention to, you
know, toxic drama. And it's kind of been like.
But I could also see a path where you feel like
you've been scorned by the Twitch community that
you would turn into some sort of like, I'm going
to make it my mission to just comment on every
hypocrite out there. Yeah. Which I could totally
see that path, too. Yeah, that's true, too. I
get it. Mad respect for people not giving up.
That's all I care about. Yeah. Yeah, that's a
good point. Keep keep your careers. Keep keep
it going. Yeah, keep going. Keep going. Keep
doing what you're doing. If it's working, if
it's working, good for you. So what was I'm not
going to. I'll just bring it up. Jeffrey Epstein,
what was your. What was what? What was your take
on the. finding out that he was banned from xbox
live i didn't see that but i saw that he apparently
bought a bunch of ebooks on fortnite there's
that and there's some insinuation he got banned
on xbox yeah for something i don't really know
what it was but there is like an email that he
was banned from xbox live um and then what was
the other one man i just had it just had it Oh,
there's some that apparently I've not done any
deep research other than what people have told
me to believe. So it could be wrong. He's very
likely behind Bitcoin success. He's very likely
behind microtransactions and video games as a
whole. I can believe the Bitcoin stuff. But you're
like, not the game stuff. No, no, no, no, no,
no. I'm just saying, like, I can definitely see
him being involved with Bitcoin. Yeah. He's involved
in everything? Yeah, everything. Everything,
yeah. That's interesting. Yeah, that's crazy.
I'm going to keep bringing it back. I just don't
want anyone to forget that this is the world
we live in. This world is so crazy, man. This
is the stuff that you've watched in movies for
years about cult conspiracy. And then half of
people are like, who cares about Jeff Epstein
anymore? When I say half, I mean the POTUS. But
I mean, it's nuts. I genuinely just can't believe
it. I know. It's actually crazy that we're actually
seeing this all now. After hearing about it for
years, we're actually seeing the files now. It's
actually crazy. People have been demanding it
for years. And now people are saying Trump and
Clinton are hooking up and all that. With each
other? You didn't see that? That they were doing
it with each other? You didn't see that, like,
Trump and Clinton were hooking up in the Epstein
files? Like, sexually? Yeah, you didn't know.
You did not. I've missed something. What? How
have I not heard this one? That's great. Yes.
Okay, I'm going to close my eyes. Tell me how
it happened. Well, from what I've heard and read,
Trump went down. No. Yeah. No way. Yeah. I'm
going to have to pull up the FG Fox right now.
I don't want to die. I'm going to stay alive.
I'm not going to say anything. This is on the
internet. I'm going to stay alive. Hold on. Make
love. It was in the files. Trump's denied it,
of course, but. I don't think it's real. You
don't think so? I don't know. OK, it was a big
thing for a while, so I don't. But everything
is missing. I can't even Google because you know
what? Google is probably owned by a liar. Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know. I can't see anything off
of a quick. search, but I'm not against it. I'm
not against the thought of it. That's hilarious.
That's why I brought it up. I thought you knew
about it. I was like, oh man. No, I haven't heard
that one. Mine come from just other sources,
I guess. I don't know. How do you feel about
the Discord controversy going on right now? Is
it true? I won't be using it. So, so no. So what
they said is if, so people that are already like,
like they can pretty much look at our profiles
and confirm that we're adults, but yeah, I know.
I don't know how, but they're pretty much saying
like newer users and stuff like that. They have
to do a face scan and show their ID to show that
they're not a teenager. And then that just pretty,
what they pretty much said was that just prevents
them from seeing like adult content. Like you
see, like you get like a adult discord and stuff
like that. That's pretty much what it avoids.
One, it's pretty stupid. But two, it's also stupid
to be against it. Meanwhile, every effing person
on this planet, in order to get on their phone,
it scans their face. I mean, it's the same. Your
face is out there, people. People are afraid
that Discord's going to pretty much get hacked
and leak everything. It's a big thing. Which
of course, of course. Yeah, probably will. But
they did, I don't know if you saw Discord's tweet,
but they did state that they're going to delete
the IDs as soon as they find out your age. They
just want your age and then they delete the ID.
Like, trust us. We're going to delete it. You
give us all your info, we're going to delete
it. Trust us. We got it. And they said the face
scans don't go anywhere past just... your phone
or your computer, wherever they're going to do
it from. Here's how that goes. There's a guy
asking those questions. Like, so how does it
work? He's like, like a face scan. He's like,
yeah, yes. It's like, does, do they keep it?
He's like, it's just really quick. We delete
it. Yeah. And then they're like, Oh, okay. That's
the official news. That's like, like, yeah, I
don't, I don't know. As far as I know, I believe
that people like me and you are going to be okay.
And we don't have to do the face scanner. I don't
know. We've been on, we've been on a little young
look about me. But we've been on Discord for
quite some years now. So, you know, when did
I make my account? I don't know when I made my
account. Well, it's not that old. I made mine.
I was anti -Discord for a long time. And that's
just because I didn't want to introduce a new
thing to stress me out. That's fair. I didn't
want to have another messaging thing. That is
fair. And if you've seen my Discord, you know
that I don't really spend a lot of time on it.
I joined in like 2017, 16, something like that.
Wait, I was, I was 2020 right when I started
streaming. Okay. I had to. Well, that's what
everybody uses. Yeah. Yeah. It made me, they
made me feel like a trash for not doing it. You're
like, Oh, how are we going to talk to you? I
was like, you can call me. Yeah. Yeah. I was,
yeah, I was like 16, 17, something like that.
Not my age, but like the year. Yeah. So 2016,
anything else happen in the year 20? Oh, good.
Yeah. You know? Yeah, I do. So, um, yeah. And
as you guys know, apparently a lot of people
are saying that 2026 is the new 2016. I don't
know where that's coming from, but I like the
trend. Oh yeah. They're saying it's the new.
Yeah. They're saying 2026 is the new 2016. Like
that one had a six and so does this one. Yup.
This is so cool. Yeah. Why didn't you guys do
that with 2015? What the heck? They kind of do
every, every year they do. They're like, this
year is really special. It's been 10 years since
2017 now. Yeah. Kind of a big deal this year.
Wait till 2030. Wait till 2030 and everybody's
talking about COVID. That's crazily close. Isn't
that nuts? I know. That's crazily close. I can't
even. Oh my God, how old are we going to be in
2030? If I'm 33 now, it's 2026. Four years. You
got this. Come on, Ryan. 33, 34, 35. I'll be
36. Yeah. I'll be 36 in 2030. Wow. Actually,
and 37. And 37. Yeah, yeah, and 37. Try to go
with the lower number, I see. Well, my birthday
is in the first month of the year, too. You're
trying to pregame your youngness. Yeah. That's
cool. I'm not young anymore. No, you're old now.
You're older than me. Yeah, I'm old. Yeah. A
couple more months. Yeah, so we had this. So
10 years, 2016, right? Yeah. You called me up
late at night and said, Phlegm, I need some pictures
of you. 2016. 20 from 2016. And I delivered,
but just forgot about it till today. I reminded
you when I texted you, didn't I? Yeah. But I
do have three photos that I am willing to show.
Awesome. I love that. 2016 was a huge year for
me. Okay. Do you want me to list off the reasons
why, or do you want to see the pictures first?
Go for it. Well, 2016 was a year I got out of
the military, which was a big deal. Okay. 2016
was the year that this look came about. Beard
with no hair. Oh. That was a big year. A very
big year. Okay. And I have three photos to show.
I had a huge glow up. I looked like trailer trash
that I turned into a model. I can't wait to see.
Let's see if I can pull this. You were never
trailer trash. Oh, I know. I know I wasn't. But
when you look at yourself, there's nothing positive
to say. I say it about myself all the time. Don't
worry. Why is this not working? Okay, it's going
to be that thing where I'm going to share my
screen, but you'll see. Got you. Do you see all
that? Yeah. Let me just pop it out for the viewers.
One second. Oh, yeah. So this was me. Can you
see that? Looking great. This was me in 2016.
I don't remember where this photo was, but if
you look right here, you can see my birthmark.
This is right before I lost all my hair. Look,
you can tell. You look good. All the signs are
there. All the signs are there. This was me right
after. This was also me that same year. Cool.
So those two photos are what they are. But then
I got out of the military and committed to the
look. I looked like a different person. That
doesn't even look like me. Look at you. It doesn't
even look like me. I look at that man now. I
think that is my great, great, great, great grandchild.
It doesn't look like me at all. You looked great.
You looked great every picture, man. Oh, stop
it, Ronald. What's that? What's the cup there?
Oh, this is an IHOP photo. You ever been to IHOP?
I have. So that's a hot chocolate, I believe.
Okay, that's a hot chocolate. I was going to
say that's a coffee or a hot chocolate or something.
Nice. I believe so. American Eagle shirt. Nice.
Mm -hmm. Yep, this was the skinniest I had ever
been. Skinniest I ever will be. I remember you
being skinny. I remember the school days. You
were skinny in school. No, yes, you were. I think
when you knew me. Yeah, probably. Yeah, that's
what I mean. When I knew you, when we went to
school together, you were skinny. And, you know,
you might be right, but, you know, when you look
at your you have your own perception of yourself.
I did not feel that way for sure. But yeah, that's
it. That's me. I'm so anxious to see yours. All
right. All right. Let me. Let me share mine.
I also have a few pictures. I don't really have
any memorable 2016 stories like you did. I can't
remember any milestones. Pokemon Go was huge
at the time. That's a good point. Oh man, Battery
Park. I remember them days. Good old Battery
Park. Let me get this ready. Where's it at? Right
here. How did I do this before? Aha. Okay. And
then share. And then not yet because I'm showing
the viewers. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Uh -huh.
Look at that guy. Look at that guy without the
beard. Oh, yeah. He would definitely need face
verification for Discord. So this is back when
I was working in radio. I was working in radio
at the time, and we were doing No Shave November,
a few of us, and they asked me to participate.
So I shaved, and that's why I had the time right
there. It's 9 .27 p .m. on Tuesday, November
1st. So that's literally the very first day I
shaved. So that's a clean shave, Ronnie, right
there. I like that. That's good. Thank you. So
I'm hoping that you show the end of it. but we'll
see uh well i couldn't find that picture but
i mean if you just kind of are you serious i'm
sorry i'm sorry of the day you started you're
not going to show of like the day it ended really
i'm sorry but listen you guys get you guys get
to see what i look like without a beard if you
guys didn't tune into my stream that one time
when i did it this is what i look like without
a beard i remember that oh all right and then
uh let me see what else i got oh This is a concert
photo of me when I went to see DMX and I'm in
the crowd right there. Are you sure that Johnny
Bravo? That's me. That's me. Look, you need to
get the Johnny Bravo. You look like Johnny Bravo.
I could be Johnny. I'll be Johnny Bravo for Halloween.
You did that look right there. If you zoom in
far enough, you don't look human, though. The
glasses look like big eyes. Be careful. But it's
cool. Thank you. This was this was at the Roots
Picnic in Philadelphia. DMX was the headliner
and I was from. I mean, that doesn't look like
front row, but these are this is like the this
is like the media area. And then this is front
row because you could see me leaning against
the rail. Yeah, you're you're front row just
behind the mosh pit. This is media. This is all
media people. So this is all people like their
cameras and stuff. Like, for example, Willow
Smith was around this area somewhere. But but
yeah, that's me. Front row, watching some DMX.
That was a good time. Good show. You know, it
was pretty cool to say I got to see DMX. Did
you rap every lyric? Yeah. And look at this guy
making music back in the day. That's me making
music. We're recording on some music, making
some mixtapes. Uh, honestly, I'd have thought
that when you took that this morning, a little
bit, a little, a little bit, my, my, I'm, I'm
losing a little bit of my hairline. My hairline's
a little better here, but, but, uh, yeah, no,
it is seriously. But, uh, yeah, this is, uh,
me recording in my, uh, in my old basement, uh,
making some music. Uh, that's me and Michael
Rooker. I met Michael Rooker. Yondu. I respectfully
cut out my cousins because I didn't think they'd
want to be shown. Come on, dude. I'm being respectful.
Cousins. I'm being respectful. I met Michael
Rooker. He was really cool, really nice. He doesn't
look like it. He's just mean. He's a very famous
actor now. He's in a lot of stuff. I don't know
him. He's in Fear of the Walking Dead. He's going
to be he's going to play, uh, Michael Jackson's
dad in the new Michael Jackson movie. Uh, he's,
he's in a lot of stuff. Yeah. Nice guy. You know,
he was super cool. Um, Steven, Trevor, you just
showed me everything from like one weekend. Yeah,
it was one weekend, but, uh, this is a good old
Trevor from GTA. He was really cool, too. But
yeah, you can see my hair looks way better here.
I'm not going to lie. But yeah. Better than his?
You guys kind of got that. Honestly, father -son
is what this looks like to me. You think we can
look related? Kind of, dude. Honestly, a little
bit. I like it. Maybe if you wore, like, some
heels. A little taller, a little bit. He's a
tall guy, though. Well, I met all these guys
at Walker's Soccer. It's a very controversial...
convention now uh it gets a lot of hate it got
canceled because a lot of hate because they were
saying that the owner was stealing money from
the people that were attending and the guests
so it got canceled from that uh so yeah but i
i didn't enjoy the convention when i was there
i think i went i went two times i went to uh
two years i went to the convention met a lot
of people so it's cool that's me at uh that's
me at firefly vip and firefly so did you were
you like you were like hey dude can you please
take this picture real quick i just pretend like
i'm just sitting here yeah so so that happened
when i when i worked in radio we we were able
to get uh media passes and vip passes to the
event so um they had this little like sit down
area I mean, you can't really see it, but I mean,
it says Firefly, if you know. But I just sat
there and I was like, hey, take a picture of
me. I'm wearing a Pigeons and Planes shirt. I
don't know if you know that website, but it's
a music website. I'm wearing a Pigeons and Planes
shirt. Yes, it's a music review. You look dope.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. But yeah, Pigeons
and Planes used to be like my music website.
I used to go to for music all the time. So I
was repping them. First time I've heard you talk
about it. Meanwhile, I thought you were a Dat
Piff fan. I thought that was where you got all
your rap music. Pigeons and planes is for reviews
that pips for downloading. I don't really know.
I'm just trying to do everything in my brain
that you know. I know. Well, there you go. Now,
you know, pigeons and planes used to be one of
my go to websites. That's me when I before I
went ziplining in Orlando. I honestly thought
you had a giant slingshot in your hand. I was
like, wow, he really is redneck. He's going to
go hunting. Yeah. So I'm very terrified of heights.
So this was like a conquer a fear type of thing
for me. Zip lining. My family wanted to do it.
And I was like, oh, okay, sure. Why not? I'll
join in. And that's me, you know, climbing the
roofs very high up in there. It doesn't look
that high, but it is very high. see me up in
the trees climbing. Eventually, I actually did
get on a zipline and I started swinging across.
You had to climb your way to it. You didn't just
go up a ladder. You had to actually climb your
way to the zipline. Why? Ziplining is the ultimate
lazy adrenaline junkie thing. You get to hang.
You're going to make me climb? Really? traverse
it like it's a playground no thank you man and
i was i was terrified the whole time uh oh okay
hold on a video i went indoor skydiving so i
don't know if you know what ifly is it's an indoor
i've heard of it it's an indoor skydiving place
and they take video of you and i found the old
video and i thought it'd be cool to share and
how bad i did Yeah, let me see it. Do you get
off the ground? So I had so there's music in
it. So I had to. Unfortunately, you're not going
to hear anything. But don't blame me. Blame I
fly. You're just going to see how bad I did.
I mean, I did OK, but my structure, my instructor
was in there with me the whole time. But it's
pretty funny. But here we go. So he's he's pulling
me in. I'm getting ready. And then that's me.
And I'm getting in there. He's holding me tight.
He's telling me to look up. Who's with you? Who
are the people watching this? They're just people
that were also doing it. You look really chill.
I tried to be. Look at my legs going way up.
And I look like I feel like Superman. Yeah, you
look flimsy. I didn't know what to do. Your spine
is going to crash. That's my grandmother. That's
your grandma. OK, take it. That's my grandmother.
Yeah, he's like flipping me up in the air and
I'm doing like spins and. I really didn't know
what I really didn't know what to do. I was scared
the whole time. And look, I go way up in the
air. I'm like, look at me. I'm going in a circle.
And then he grabs me like like dirty dancing.
He's having a blast with you. Oh, yeah, he loved
it. And then this is my favorite part coming
up. So he grabs me like that. And then and then
he does a little. Is it coming up? Oh, the lights
coming up. That means that it's pretty much over.
No, that's how you know it's about to end. So
he does that. And then as you see, he does a
little flip. He flips me over, does a little
flip in the air, and then he catches me. Yeah.
And then I look at the camera and do a thumbs
up. Wasn't that terrible? No. I mean, I don't
see it. It looked like something that I've never
done. I've always wanted to. It was really cool.
I do highly recommend doing it if you ever get
a chance to. Is there a weight limit for that?
I wonder. I don't think so. One second. I don't
think there is. But it's in Orlando. But I know
they have it in different areas. They have one
right in Austin. Oh, I'm sure. I believe that.
Oh, I could do it. We're good. Oh, all right.
You got to get video then. Do it. Get video and
you're going to share it. Although I would need
to be evaluated by staff to make sure I'm safe.
Well, that's pretty much what they did with me.
That's why he was in there with me the whole
time. Oh, no, I'm going to need a special assessment
because of my weight is from what I'm reading
here. Oh, because proportionality is important
for safety. so my height to weight ratio might
be a factor you know i'm actually tall so maybe
it's it might be they might mean like short and
large people might be harder for them maybe because
it'd be like a it'd just be like a cannonball
yeah sorry no no you'll be fine man i want to
see you do it in a good video if you do i know
i would never do you know i won't do it because
i'm super sensitive about my nipples showing
in shirts and I just know for sure my nipples
would show the whole time. No, that suit I was
wearing, that was a suit that they gave you.
No, I've been assured of these things before.
They're like, just wear your shirt in the water.
No one will notice. There's my nipples. I was
wearing it. No, no, no. I cannot be convinced.
I've been told this many times. Oh, just wear
two shirts. Your nipples won't show. Lies. They
show every time. I wore a sweatshirt and I wore
the suit that they gave me. And I wore a t -shirt
under that. sweatshirt I mean what are those
called pasties I'm going to put those on my nipples
I have some really yeah I think I know what I'm
doing if I visit Delaware I got you yeah I got
I had them when I when I did a cosplay on stream
I didn't know if I was allowed to show the nipples
or not so I got pastries I didn't want to get
banned for showing nipples. So I got that. I
think you can as a, as a, as a guy. Okay. I didn't,
I think you can. I don't think, I think before
you couldn't, but I think now it's okay. Gosh,
my eyes hurt. Yeah. Is that, is that a sign?
No. Oh, I was going to say, I really, I mean,
we pretty much caught up on everything besides
Aiden Ross buying the freaking bad house. Oh
yeah, I saw that. Honestly, any more I see anything,
I'm just like, okay. I just keep moving. Great.
Aiden Ross has the Breaking Bad house. Cool.
I bet he'll ruin it in some way. Turn it into
a B &B. It'd be cool if he does ruin it. He's
going to turn it into a streamer house. Really?
What if he does? I'll be repulsed. Yeah, that
would actually be terrible. Yeah. Great news
week. Yeah. Start thinking about what your favorite
Epstein accusation is. I'm going to do it. even
deeper dive than I've been doing and I'll, I'll
get into it. Yeah. Next week will be the, the,
there's going to be more is coming out. Oh, absolutely.
It's definitely not. He just testified. And I
don't know if you know, if you know who that
is, but that, that is explosive. It just happened
today. I think today. Oh, then I didn't hear
about it yet. I got to catch up on it, but it's
nuts. So yeah. Next week's episode will be. I
bet we'll talk about it again. So gear up, everybody.
I'll be ready. I'll get my notes ready. But yeah,
this has been episode 70. Yeah, we're in the
70s now. We're excited to be ready for episode
71. So we're excited to be ready. We're excited
to be ready. Yeah. I'm excited to be ready for
it. But yeah, we hope you guys enjoyed the episode.
We're happy to be back. We had a lot to talk
about. And if you guys have any opinions, feel
free to go in the comments. Just don't don't
attack us for our opinions or do it. That's fine.
Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Why not? after ever says that
one dude commented on me when my kid what did
he say he's like be a man be a man why don't
you tell tell that family that you apologize
no excuse me i'm not gonna say sorry my son almost
hit your car or screw you buddy so yeah if that
random tiktok user is listening I did mouth I'm
sorry to the people next door. That's a long
time ago, but yeah. Comment on whatever you want.
Comment on whatever you want. Oh, you know what?
I did want to share a quick story. A quick story
before we do go. Yeah, go. I will allow it. Let's
hear it. Do you ever use... We're not saying
goodbye again, though. No, no, no. It ends after
this. Do you ever use Waze app as a way, like
when you're going to, or like GPS or whatever,
when you're going to work just to know your timing
of when you're going to get there? I don't currently,
but I have before. Like, you know where you're
going. You know where you're going. You just
use it as a timer so you know your actual timing
of when you're going to get there. I don't use
Waze. Is this a Waze specific thing? No, I'm
just saying any GPS or just a timer. A timer.
Okay. So I did that. I did that the other day,
right? I was on my way to work. And I'm looking
at the time. I'm like, why am I getting there
so early, but I feel so late? And I'm already
halfway there. And I set it for Petco. Wait,
like the food or the dog place? Yeah, I accidentally
set my GPS to Petco. So I was going to Petco.
So the whole time I thought I was doing great
on time. I was like five minutes late for work
already. That's funny. I just wanted to share
that. I didn't know if I was the only person
that did that. You picked a perfect time to slip
it in. Yeah. But no, I didn't know if you did
the same thing with your GPS. Yeah, I've done
that many times. One of my biggest problems is
because I drive from Austin to San Antonio all
the time, or back and forth, is I will, rather
than put in my address, Cause I like to know
the time and when I'll be, I'll type in San Antonio
and I'll forget that I did that. And this whole
time I'm like, God, I got so long till I get
home. Cause they, cause they put like the, the
point like is like downtown. Yeah. I'm like,
God, I ain't going to be home for like another
two hours. Oh geez. Ridiculous. But then you
miss your turn. You're like, why am I still on
the streets? Because I didn't put in the right
address. I do it all the time. It's like once
a month. I just thought it was funny. I was already
so super late for work. I'm just on my way, taking
my time. Yeah, you're just like chilling. Yeah,
I'm like, I'm good. I honestly thought you were
going to tell me. It was weird because it was
dark. I thought you were like, I woke up at 6
a .m. and it was really 6 p .m. I thought it
was going to be one of those stories. I've done
that. I've done it too. It's the best. Yeah,
so I was working 12s. I got off at 6 a .m., but
I wasn't working at 12 at this time. So I got
off. I worked at 6 a .m., got off at 2 .30, and
then I accidentally fell asleep. woke up at 6
30 p .m and thought i was super late for work
so i got in my car rushed all the way halfway
to work and i was like wait a minute let me google
if it's a .m or p .m right now i actually googled
if it was a .m or p .m i'm not even kidding google
right there i do yeah okay really it was like
it is p .m i was like oh my god and i went all
the way back home you can just look at your phone
your phone doesn't say a .m or p .m it doesn't
it doesn't say a .m or p .m no it just says It
just says the time right now. You're right. It
doesn't either. Yeah. It does not say AM or PM.
So I had to literally Google it. We need to get
back on to, I don't want to say military time,
but cause that's the same way that people do
it around the world. We're the only ones that
different. We, um, we use military time at work.
We have to go by military time at work. Yeah.
Yeah. But military time is just like the same
time that they say to other in other culture.
You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. America.
We had it for, yeah, we, we taken it, you know,
we're going to say, no, it's actually a military
time. Yeah. But, um, yeah, I just wanted to share
that real quick. Thought it, thought it'd be
funny, but, uh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. I, I, I try, I try. Thank you. Thank
you. But yeah, uh, that's going to do it for
episode 70 of the Lactor Up podcast. It is DJ
DubC, and Flemoxicillin, Flem. You got anything
you want to say before we go? Jeffrey Epstein.
Jeffrey, I've seen it. Keep reading it. Don't
let it go. It's crazy. Absolutely. It's out now.
Enjoy it while you can. If that's how you want
to put it. Get all the info while you can. All
right, y 'all. We will see everybody for episode
71.
