WEBVTT

00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:12.480
Yo! What's up everybody and welcome to season

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:16.539
2 episode 10 of the Mark Mo Show Podcast. This

00:00:16.539 --> 00:00:20.699
is our season 2 finale. I'm your host Mark Maloney

00:00:20.699 --> 00:00:25.460
and alongside me here, AK219 Aidan, spelled

00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:27.660
the right way. Aidan, Maloney, how you doing?

00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.239
Ah, feeling pretty fantastic today, you know?

00:00:31.660 --> 00:00:34.899
Yeah, not bad. Not bad. Not bad. Living that

00:00:34.899 --> 00:00:38.250
beautiful American dream, as they say. Yeah,

00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:40.450
because you got to be asleep. Yeah, exactly.

00:00:41.350 --> 00:00:46.189
Got to be asleep. It's something. I'll tell you,

00:00:47.049 --> 00:00:50.670
we're going to get into it. We've got some topics

00:00:50.670 --> 00:00:53.710
to cover today. We've got, I mean, don't get

00:00:53.710 --> 00:00:56.090
me wrong. We're going to have fun on the back

00:00:56.090 --> 00:01:00.289
end like we normally do. Top 10 list, Carpe Diem,

00:01:00.770 --> 00:01:03.009
other foods, all that good stuff. It's coming

00:01:03.009 --> 00:01:05.870
at you. So we definitely are going to have some

00:01:05.870 --> 00:01:09.750
fun today. We always open with our dialogue,

00:01:09.750 --> 00:01:14.549
right? And when we started this thing, we swore

00:01:14.549 --> 00:01:18.129
to ourselves. We made it a point. We're like,

00:01:18.209 --> 00:01:22.430
look, this can't be politically, governmentally

00:01:22.430 --> 00:01:25.930
focused. We got to kind of spread it around,

00:01:26.469 --> 00:01:29.450
even have a little fun with it. And so to our

00:01:29.450 --> 00:01:33.489
credit, we did that a little bit at the beginning.

00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:37.659
We held pretty true to that. We'd throw our punches

00:01:37.659 --> 00:01:40.939
where we could. Right. We talked about relationships

00:01:40.939 --> 00:01:45.359
and we talked about friendships and real shit

00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.040
that we deal with on an everyday basis. So I

00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.599
think we did a pretty good job of that. However,

00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.200
when certain individuals... government types

00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.680
continue to give you content again and again

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:03.799
and again it's hard not to right when when satire

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.219
is dead because of how dogshit the American government

00:02:07.219 --> 00:02:14.099
is oh yeah and you know it's bad right when people

00:02:14.099 --> 00:02:18.180
who let's say make content for a living or I

00:02:18.180 --> 00:02:21.020
guess just do it for fun like us they're the

00:02:21.020 --> 00:02:25.280
ones who have to Bring awareness to this right

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.460
for sure comedians and just goofy podcasters

00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:33.099
are Being more critical of the government than

00:02:33.099 --> 00:02:36.460
the news which is supposed to do that Which is

00:02:36.460 --> 00:02:38.680
supposed to do that right and they don't and

00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.080
it's just it's it's garbage. Yeah, and I was

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:45.759
thinking about this today because I was going

00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.580
through YouTube and I was watching some old comedy

00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:51.090
clips and stuff early this morning and I have

00:02:51.090 --> 00:02:53.030
a feeling if George Carlin was still with us

00:02:53.030 --> 00:02:56.830
today, like literally, I think his tour would

00:02:56.830 --> 00:03:00.050
be him walking up to the mic being like, I told

00:03:00.050 --> 00:03:03.650
you guys good night and just walk off. He doesn't

00:03:03.650 --> 00:03:06.370
need to say anything else. He was telling us

00:03:06.370 --> 00:03:10.469
in the 70s, 80s and 90s, everything that we are

00:03:10.469 --> 00:03:14.629
experiencing today. We just chose either not

00:03:14.629 --> 00:03:17.069
to believe him or not to do anything about it.

00:03:17.210 --> 00:03:22.810
And here we are. Here we are in this. We'll talk

00:03:22.810 --> 00:03:25.090
about this too. Let me get through some particulars

00:03:25.090 --> 00:03:27.090
first like we normally do at the opening of the

00:03:27.090 --> 00:03:31.669
show. We produce new content weekly, all podcast

00:03:31.669 --> 00:03:35.449
platforms, YouTube. I also have some one -off

00:03:35.449 --> 00:03:37.909
interviews that we do two or three times during

00:03:37.909 --> 00:03:40.990
a season. I have kind of a mini waiting list

00:03:40.990 --> 00:03:45.150
so that's a good problem to have I suppose. Very

00:03:45.150 --> 00:03:47.509
true. We definitely want to get some people on

00:03:47.509 --> 00:03:51.349
soon and those are always fun and informative.

00:03:51.310 --> 00:03:53.990
kind of local we're here in Valparaiso Indiana

00:03:53.990 --> 00:03:58.610
kind of the middle ish of the country so to speak

00:03:58.610 --> 00:04:02.849
and and most of the people I talked to are kind

00:04:02.849 --> 00:04:05.810
of in this general area although I have the ability

00:04:05.810 --> 00:04:09.030
to expand with that so we'll just we'll have

00:04:09.030 --> 00:04:11.870
to see how coming seasons play out and how how

00:04:11.870 --> 00:04:14.650
we're gonna do that if we end up doing the Mark

00:04:14.650 --> 00:04:17.110
Moe show once a week and then maybe the interviews

00:04:17.110 --> 00:04:19.589
once a week That's a lot of heavy lifting we'll

00:04:19.589 --> 00:04:21.389
have to see. We'll have to see how that goes.

00:04:22.029 --> 00:04:25.290
But everything's on the table, for sure. And

00:04:25.290 --> 00:04:26.750

Standard Time. You should also check out GuysBeandDudesAK219.

00:04:51.410 --> 00:04:54.149
More importantly, where he's creating all this

00:04:54.149 --> 00:04:57.990
great new content, gaming content, Aidan spelled

00:04:57.990 --> 00:05:03.189
the right way. So I was going to watch the most

00:05:03.189 --> 00:05:08.209
recent one and then sleep. Yeah. Yeah. What are

00:05:08.209 --> 00:05:09.850
you going to do? But why don't you tell the fine

00:05:09.850 --> 00:05:13.740
folks what's new? What's cooking? Some excellent

00:05:13.740 --> 00:05:16.540
gaming content like you mentioned and there's

00:05:16.540 --> 00:05:19.259
this game I've been kind of addicted to which

00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:21.480
we talked about last week called AV assembly

00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.319
You get to build your own planes and there's

00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.139
like a career mode and everything so I did that

00:05:27.139 --> 00:05:30.839
again that episode came out two days ago and

00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.300
It's just it's so fun. It's so fun, and I know

00:05:35.300 --> 00:05:39.680
watching Watching a goofy goober build airplanes

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.899
is maybe not for everybody But I like to think

00:05:42.899 --> 00:05:45.199
it's it's pretty entertaining and it's super

00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.259
fun for me to do So it's just a grand old time

00:05:48.259 --> 00:05:50.160
and then of course horror games. I love horror

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.600
games. So horror games are fun The one we are

00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.079
creating the planes I find hysterical because

00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.360
it's just not the fact you're sitting there and

00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.990
you're creating planes Because there's a lot

00:06:00.990 --> 00:06:02.970
of games like that that you and I have played

00:06:02.970 --> 00:06:05.649
forever where you just kind of get to be creative

00:06:05.649 --> 00:06:11.689
Hell, Minecraft is right. Yeah, and so That that's

00:06:11.689 --> 00:06:13.949
part of the fun because we can sit there watch

00:06:13.949 --> 00:06:16.430
you create and just sit there go. Oh, that's

00:06:16.430 --> 00:06:19.209
not gonna fly Because we can kind of just be

00:06:19.209 --> 00:06:21.430
like a side seat driver is your you're doing

00:06:21.430 --> 00:06:24.750
this thing But then you know just to discover.

00:06:24.870 --> 00:06:28.819
Oh shit It flew. Right. Or like the maneuverability

00:06:28.819 --> 00:06:31.860
is a lot better than you thought. Quite frankly,

00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:33.540
just your commentary as you're going through

00:06:33.540 --> 00:06:35.620
the process I think is hilarious. Thank you.

00:06:35.939 --> 00:06:41.459
Everybody should definitely check that out. Boy

00:06:41.459 --> 00:06:44.959
oh boy, I think that's about it for the particulars.

00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:51.500
We usually take a week off after a season to

00:06:51.500 --> 00:06:54.350
kind of... Re -up a little bit. Yeah, you know,

00:06:54.470 --> 00:06:56.990
maybe I'll maybe next week I'll do one of the

00:06:56.990 --> 00:06:59.209
interviews and just kind of have that in the

00:06:59.209 --> 00:07:02.149
chamber so to speak So we'll see how that goes,

00:07:02.170 --> 00:07:04.129
but we always let you know in the social. So

00:07:04.129 --> 00:07:09.269
check us out Facebook Instagram What's the one

00:07:09.269 --> 00:07:13.870
with the at symbol that symbol threads threads,

00:07:13.870 --> 00:07:17.959
yeah, I'm on threads Me lose guy. Yeah, 12 other

00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.819
people, right? We're on threads I'm still on

00:07:21.819 --> 00:07:26.420
X Because I don't care like I go on there and

00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:28.360
here's what's interesting. Maybe you folks you

00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.279
had dealt with this, too So I had a friend who's

00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:32.639
all mofax and blah blah and as I get all this

00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.199
crap on there I'm like, but I found out when

00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.439
I when I tweaked it to my interest it held more

00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.439
true To me and my interest you'll get ads and

00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.490
bullshit every once in a while, right? But I

00:07:46.490 --> 00:07:49.730
felt X held more true to the people and the content

00:07:49.730 --> 00:07:52.829
that I'm interested in than Facebook does. That's

00:07:52.829 --> 00:07:56.930
true. That's true. Absolutely 100%. And you can

00:07:56.930 --> 00:07:59.350
kind of curate it, right? You can click like

00:07:59.350 --> 00:08:01.490
the triple dots, be like not interested in this

00:08:01.490 --> 00:08:06.069
type of content. And some algorithms handle that

00:08:06.069 --> 00:08:09.029
better than others. I know Facebook is just stubborn.

00:08:10.050 --> 00:08:14.170
In my opinion, it's dog shit. Yeah. I think I've

00:08:14.170 --> 00:08:15.610
mentioned this a couple times on the show. I

00:08:15.610 --> 00:08:17.990
really don't use social media that frequently

00:08:17.990 --> 00:08:20.069
anymore. Yeah. Usually it's just like Reddit

00:08:20.069 --> 00:08:23.629
for memes or news or something, but yeah, I just,

00:08:24.129 --> 00:08:27.740
I cannot stand most social medias. because of

00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:31.600
that exact reason. Yeah, that part bugs me. I

00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.440
like that I can go on and wish my friends a happy

00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.740
birthday. That's true. I like that I can reach

00:08:36.740 --> 00:08:38.200
out to people I haven't talked to in a while.

00:08:39.220 --> 00:08:40.820
Every once in a while, I'll scroll through my

00:08:40.820 --> 00:08:43.379
friends. I'll be like, oh, shit, and just drop

00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:47.220
someone, just a message every now and then. So

00:08:47.220 --> 00:08:50.679
I guess I'm using it for its true purpose, perhaps.

00:08:50.700 --> 00:08:53.440
Right, that is true. So I kind of use it that

00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.460
way. But when you, especially Facebook, when

00:08:56.460 --> 00:09:01.519
you just kind of go through and scroll, I rarely

00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.000
these days see my friends. It's just like, add,

00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.700
add, add, add, or it's what they think I'm interested

00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:11.139
in. It's suggested posts. I'm like, why? But

00:09:11.139 --> 00:09:14.240
it's mostly that now. Right. Like every once

00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.500
in a while like and then like oh like five days

00:09:16.500 --> 00:09:18.539
later I'll see someone's post. I'm like why didn't

00:09:18.539 --> 00:09:20.159
I see that on day one? Why didn't I see when

00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.919
they posted it? So yeah, Facebook's jacked up

00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.940
Yeah once and this was a couple years ago, but

00:09:25.940 --> 00:09:28.679
once Facebook and Instagram the meta products

00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.440
switched from the Like the timeline actually

00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.940
being a timeline of most recent posts from your

00:09:36.940 --> 00:09:40.740
friends Yeah to their algorithm suggested posts.

00:09:40.779 --> 00:09:43.500
You'll see posts from like a week ago And it's

00:09:43.500 --> 00:09:46.039
like, I didn't know that event was going on.

00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:48.340
Oh, that's because the post is seven days old.

00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.860
Yep. And then all the new content. What are you

00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:52.519
going to do? You have to wait seven days to see

00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.100
it? It sucks. It's absurd. It's absurd. I think

00:09:56.100 --> 00:09:58.440
you should have more control over your feed.

00:09:59.179 --> 00:10:03.240
And if the time factor is more important than

00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.000
the content, you should be able to choose it.

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.799
Right. You should be able to sit there and go,

00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:12.879
Nope, I want when things are posted. And then

00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:16.080
if you have like, things you're interested in,

00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.639
or your friends posts or whatever, let me choose,

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:23.360
let me choose how I want to view my page. Instead

00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.259
of you guys being like, oh, here's this algorithm,

00:10:25.299 --> 00:10:27.360
here's this, and here's that. And, and look,

00:10:27.500 --> 00:10:30.259
I get people advertise, hell, we're gonna probably

00:10:30.259 --> 00:10:32.820
get in that realm soon enough. And, and you want

00:10:32.820 --> 00:10:35.340
to, you know, get stuff out there so people can

00:10:35.340 --> 00:10:39.539
see it. But I would rather have it be like 75

00:10:39.539 --> 00:10:42.980
% what my friends are posting, what they've posted

00:10:42.980 --> 00:10:45.940
recently, or events that I've said I'm interested

00:10:45.940 --> 00:10:48.919
in. We'll keep showing that shit. So I remember,

00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:51.639
like, oh yeah, that's coming up tomorrow. I literally

00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:55.200
have to go to the events tab to be like, oh shit,

00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:56.860
yeah, that's coming up. And I have to remember

00:10:56.860 --> 00:10:59.659
to do that because if I don't, it's gonna be

00:10:59.659 --> 00:11:01.360
too late. And then it pops up and it's like,

00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:04.149
oh yeah, that started 20 minutes ago. So they

00:11:04.149 --> 00:11:06.509
they've got a lot to do. Yeah, absolutely. But

00:11:06.509 --> 00:11:08.570
this isn't what our talk was about. This is we

00:11:08.570 --> 00:11:10.870
got off the highway a little bit, but ended up

00:11:10.870 --> 00:11:13.889
in the Badlands, but we find our way back. We

00:11:13.889 --> 00:11:17.309
always do. We always do for better or for worse.

00:11:17.549 --> 00:11:22.850
Right. But here's the deal. It's it's a holiday,

00:11:23.090 --> 00:11:27.629
so to speak. Today for us, yesterday for Independence

00:11:27.629 --> 00:11:34.340
Day, I suppose they became independent. of certain

00:11:34.340 --> 00:11:38.200
people. Right. Yeah, I'll still celebrate being

00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:40.879
independent of the Brits. Oh, for sure. As a

00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:42.860
matter of fact, that was my one. Actually, I've

00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:47.100
had a couple posts, but my first post was the

00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:50.259
flag of Ireland. And it's like, dare America,

00:11:51.299 --> 00:11:54.480
enjoy your you beat England day or whatever it

00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:59.120
is. I found that pretty funny. Yeah. But. Like

00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:02.559
that in itself in its nature sure why not celebrate

00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:04.679
that that's great. I mean Mexican Independence

00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:09.720
Day They have their day Ireland 1916 I'll get

00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:14.679
that tat someday Yeah, so I get it. You know

00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:17.600
you're independent from an oppressive regime.

00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:21.360
Ho, and here we are. Oh, curious. Wow, how...

00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:24.340
We've come full circle. We've come... We always

00:12:24.340 --> 00:12:25.759
do. I thought it was just this show we'd come

00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.940
full circle, but nope. In reality, in real life,

00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:31.659
so... Think of all the future independence days

00:12:31.659 --> 00:12:34.000
all of these Middle Eastern countries will eventually

00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:39.100
have from us. From us. Yeah, exactly. It'll happen

00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:43.399
the way we're going down this hellhole. But anyway,

00:12:44.179 --> 00:12:48.110
you know... As the sun tonight will set and there'll

00:12:48.110 --> 00:12:51.909
be fireworks and all that kind of stuff It's

00:12:51.909 --> 00:12:54.169
it's setting over divided America. So like think

00:12:54.169 --> 00:12:57.230
about like the streets of LA Echoed with sounds

00:12:57.230 --> 00:12:59.830
of both celebration and despair tonight. I'm

00:12:59.830 --> 00:13:02.470
sure that's going to be the case, right? So a

00:13:02.470 --> 00:13:05.070
city that was once kind of a symbol of hope and

00:13:05.070 --> 00:13:07.330
opportunity is everything expanded from east

00:13:07.330 --> 00:13:10.649
to west It's become a battleground between the

00:13:10.649 --> 00:13:13.470
government and its own citizens mass raids conducted

00:13:13.470 --> 00:13:17.679
by ice incites fierce protests and forcing communities

00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.580
to rally to support their loved ones. I think

00:13:20.580 --> 00:13:24.379
they're doing another king's thing today. I don't

00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:28.039
know, Valpo's doing it. I know some towns are

00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.159
definitely doing it. But yeah, it's forcing these

00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:32.820
communities to rally in support of their loved

00:13:32.820 --> 00:13:35.620
ones, many of whom are targeted for deportation.

00:13:35.620 --> 00:13:39.980
Right. You know, the air is just thick with tension,

00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:43.779
you know, tear gas, flashbang grenades. you know,

00:13:43.940 --> 00:13:46.100
fill the space where a chance for justice rang.

00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:51.080
Trump, bolstered by this wave of populist fervor,

00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:55.379
has declared that the nation was under invasion.

00:13:55.940 --> 00:13:59.700
Ooh, spooky language. Right. Spooky language,

00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:04.340
as Karla used to say. His social media platforms

00:14:04.340 --> 00:14:08.500
buzzed with his posts branding protesters as

00:14:08.500 --> 00:14:14.220
violent insurrection mobs. To get real, his rhetoric

00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:18.039
serves a dual purpose, right? Stokes fear among

00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.080
his supporters while justifying the deployment

00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.419
of the National Guard and the Marines to quell

00:14:22.419 --> 00:14:24.879
dissent. The state of emergency is unprecedented,

00:14:25.340 --> 00:14:27.960
right? Marked the first time in six decades.

00:14:28.539 --> 00:14:30.460
The National Guard was activated without the

00:14:30.460 --> 00:14:32.700
consent of California's Governor Gavin Newsom.

00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:36.500
That's a no -no. Right. As the Nightfowl families

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:40.000
huddled in their homes, glued to news updates,

00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:43.259
which we know how that usually goes. It paints

00:14:43.259 --> 00:14:46.539
a grim picture of reality. Trump's administration,

00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.340
which is a joke, by the way, had unleashed a

00:14:49.340 --> 00:14:52.360
series of authoritarian measures that echoed

00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.799
the darkest chapters of history, stuff we've

00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.639
seen before. The invocation of the Alien Enemies

00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:02.620
Act to detain young Venezuelan men who had committed

00:15:02.620 --> 00:15:06.519
no crimes was kind of a chilling reminder of

00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:10.419
how fragile this democracy is, right? One by

00:15:10.419 --> 00:15:13.220
one, they disappeared into the shadows, sent

00:15:13.220 --> 00:15:16.720
to Salvadorian jail, notorious for their abuse,

00:15:16.860 --> 00:15:19.759
their families left helpless in despair. Across

00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:24.500
a nation, echoes of history reverberated through

00:15:24.500 --> 00:15:27.389
the air. The Holy Roman Empire had once fallen,

00:15:27.509 --> 00:15:31.049
paving the way for the Second Reich, the Imperial

00:15:31.049 --> 00:15:35.009
Germany of the Kaisers, before giving rise to

00:15:35.009 --> 00:15:39.690
the Third Reich under Adolf Hitler. Now as strongmen

00:15:39.690 --> 00:15:42.610
leaders rose around the globe, observers began

00:15:42.610 --> 00:15:45.710
to speak of a Fourth Reich, one that seemed to

00:15:45.710 --> 00:15:49.200
emerge from the ashes. of a world that vowed

00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.620
to never repeat its past mistakes. Do we learn

00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:55.659
from history? No, we don't. The ominous comparisons

00:15:55.659 --> 00:15:58.419
are not lost on the populace. General Mark Milley,

00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:01.019
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, remarked

00:16:01.019 --> 00:16:04.820
that the events of January 6th, 2021, echoed

00:16:04.820 --> 00:16:07.759
the Nazi party's burning of the Reichstag in

00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:10.399
1933. Wonder who else said that when it happened?

00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:15.799
Oh, me. As Trump tightened his grip on power,

00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:18.879
The legislation that followed revealed a clear

00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.940
strategy of Gleikschalten, which is a systematic

00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:26.850
dismantling of democratic institutions. The administration's

00:16:26.850 --> 00:16:30.149
executive orders issued in rapid succession seek

00:16:30.149 --> 00:16:33.309
to redefine the very fabric of American life.

00:16:33.909 --> 00:16:36.169
Asylum seekers are met with hostility, categorized

00:16:36.169 --> 00:16:38.110
as invaders, stripped of their rights to seek

00:16:38.110 --> 00:16:40.889
refuge. The military was called to the border

00:16:40.889 --> 00:16:44.210
where trespass prosecutions are implemented under

00:16:44.210 --> 00:16:48.169
the guise of national security. The repercussions

00:16:48.169 --> 00:16:50.809
of these actions are felt far and wide. The middle

00:16:50.809 --> 00:16:56.690
class begins to disappear. I'll argue it has

00:16:56.690 --> 00:16:59.730
disappeared, replaced by a growing divide between

00:16:59.730 --> 00:17:03.549
wealthy elite and impoverished masses. Unemployment

00:17:03.549 --> 00:17:06.609
soars, streets are filled with the echoes of

00:17:06.609 --> 00:17:08.990
despair, without access to healthcare, food,

00:17:09.230 --> 00:17:12.589
basic necessities. The nation witnesses an alarming

00:17:12.589 --> 00:17:15.430
rise in disease, infant mortality, and suicide

00:17:15.430 --> 00:17:19.450
all up. America wants a beacon of hope is crumbling

00:17:19.450 --> 00:17:21.990
under the weight of its own leadership in the

00:17:21.990 --> 00:17:25.579
halls of power. Trump revels in his authority.

00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.119
With each passing day, he grows more tyrannical,

00:17:29.539 --> 00:17:32.799
employing a playbook that drew from the darkest

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:35.859
pages of history. His administration's actions

00:17:35.859 --> 00:17:38.680
reflect a dangerous disregard for the rule of

00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:41.559
law. They ignore it. They don't give a shit.

00:17:42.140 --> 00:17:44.740
A willingness to dehumanize entire communities

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:48.180
for the sake of power consolidation. As his critics

00:17:48.180 --> 00:17:51.230
are silenced, dissent becomes a risky venture

00:17:51.230 --> 00:17:53.970
and the once vibrant spirit of democracy begins

00:17:53.970 --> 00:17:58.029
to wither. But amidst the chaos, a flicker of

00:17:58.029 --> 00:18:00.609
resistance remains. Grassroot organizations spring

00:18:00.609 --> 00:18:04.470
up fueled by the determination of ordinary citizens.

00:18:05.029 --> 00:18:08.029
They organize peaceful protests, rally communities,

00:18:08.150 --> 00:18:11.690
and seek to expose the injustices that plague

00:18:11.690 --> 00:18:14.829
their country. The fight's not easy. They face

00:18:14.829 --> 00:18:17.150
violent reprisals from an administration that

00:18:17.150 --> 00:18:20.059
viewed dissent as treason. Yet the spirit of

00:18:20.059 --> 00:18:23.240
democracy can't be extinguished entirely. In

00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:25.799
the heart of LA, beneath the pall of oppression,

00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:28.440
a group of activists gather in a dimly lit room.

00:18:28.700 --> 00:18:30.900
They exchange ideas and strategies and resolve,

00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:34.140
strengthened by the stories of those who have

00:18:34.140 --> 00:18:37.720
been lost to the system. Their hope lay in a

00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:40.740
belief that they could reclaim the country, that

00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:43.920
they could rise against the tide of authoritarianism.

00:18:44.539 --> 00:18:48.319
As the world watches the echoes of history, Seem

00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:50.619
to whisper warnings the fourth Reich is not yet

00:18:50.619 --> 00:18:54.359
fully realized and the flames of resistance flicker

00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:57.140
Against the encroaching darkness the struggle

00:18:57.140 --> 00:19:00.579
For justice has begun and the weakened heart

00:19:00.579 --> 00:19:04.000
of a nation still beats With its citizens in

00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:06.220
the battle for the soul of America the question

00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:09.519
remains would the lessons of the past be enough

00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:13.720
to avert a future steeped in tyranny or Will

00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:17.839
the phoenix of fascism rise once more? fantastic

00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:22.259
points fantastic points I I don't even know how

00:19:22.259 --> 00:19:27.160
to build on that that's that's just the the grim

00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:31.519
truth of of this country and even more recently

00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:36.660
the worst bill I've ever seen was just passed

00:19:36.660 --> 00:19:42.750
was just passed and now ice is now I believe

00:19:42.750 --> 00:19:46.750
in the top 15 most funded militaries in the world.

00:19:46.950 --> 00:19:50.869
Yes. And they're not even a military, like countries

00:19:50.869 --> 00:19:56.190
militaries. And it's funding surpasses CIA, FBI,

00:19:56.750 --> 00:20:00.470
ATF, Homeland, like all of it combined. Right.

00:20:01.170 --> 00:20:05.269
Right. That's fucking scary. Yeah, because that's

00:20:05.269 --> 00:20:08.130
essentially the secret police. The Gestapo, the

00:20:08.130 --> 00:20:12.450
Stasi, take your pick. Yep. And... This this

00:20:12.450 --> 00:20:15.009
is what I essentially have been talking about

00:20:15.009 --> 00:20:20.750
for I think several episodes now of violent revolution

00:20:20.750 --> 00:20:25.569
Seems inevitable. Yeah, because it does and an

00:20:25.569 --> 00:20:30.930
alarming part is Not only that ice is being funded

00:20:30.930 --> 00:20:34.869
40 plus billion dollars of our taxpayer money,

00:20:34.869 --> 00:20:39.009
of course that Of course, they're already not

00:20:39.009 --> 00:20:42.740
following Laws or constitutional rights. They're

00:20:42.740 --> 00:20:46.839
not Appreciating and respecting. Yeah, it's not

00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:49.640
just the fact that ice is a major problem and

00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:52.799
will continue to be a major problem now that

00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:57.099
they're Now that they're being Remarkably overfunded.

00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:00.339
It's the fact that there's a hundred million

00:21:00.339 --> 00:21:04.259
Americans That are seemingly willing to die on

00:21:04.259 --> 00:21:09.269
this hill with these Nazis, right? You know?

00:21:09.289 --> 00:21:12.730
And I don't use that term lightly. No! It's accurate.

00:21:13.630 --> 00:21:16.529
It is accurate. It's simply accurate. And this,

00:21:16.789 --> 00:21:19.930
oh, on top of that, the reason I'm comfortable

00:21:19.930 --> 00:21:22.269
using the term Nazis and calling it accurate,

00:21:22.950 --> 00:21:26.390
they just built a concentration camp in Florida.

00:21:26.650 --> 00:21:29.730
Yep. And of course the media, oh, it's alligator

00:21:29.730 --> 00:21:32.630
Alcatraz. No, it's a concentration camp. No,

00:21:32.829 --> 00:21:36.490
that's, Alcatraz was built to house the worst

00:21:36.490 --> 00:21:40.650
criminals that we had. Right. These people are

00:21:40.650 --> 00:21:43.529
not criminals. No, you are sending people who

00:21:43.529 --> 00:21:47.069
simply happen to have brown skin without due

00:21:47.069 --> 00:21:51.390
process into a concentration camp in America.

00:21:51.549 --> 00:21:53.829
Right. And before it was built, you were sending

00:21:53.829 --> 00:21:56.289
them to the same concentration camps in El Salvador.

00:21:56.589 --> 00:22:00.170
Yes, correct. And I think they just did an add

00:22:00.170 --> 00:22:03.289
on in Guantanamo Bay, too. So it's just it's

00:22:03.289 --> 00:22:07.920
becoming a shit show. And quite frankly, This

00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.680
I guess we would call us a massive red flag right

00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:16.700
for what is coming and It really angers me quite

00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:21.940
a bit that you know, you looked at At the concentration

00:22:21.940 --> 00:22:27.099
camps that the Germans built and and in their

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:30.859
quote -unquote brown people Were the Jews right,

00:22:30.980 --> 00:22:33.700
right? That was who they blamed their problems

00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:36.339
on, their economic issues, all that kind of stuff.

00:22:36.859 --> 00:22:41.180
Shipped them away to Dachau and all of these

00:22:41.180 --> 00:22:45.079
other terrible concentration camps. And we're

00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:50.019
kind of doing the same thing with all these people

00:22:50.019 --> 00:22:53.799
who have done nothing but try to come here to

00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:56.220
a country that has always been identified as

00:22:56.220 --> 00:22:59.880
the melting pot. Right. I mean, let's find a

00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:01.970
few Native Americans, see how they feel. Right.

00:23:02.650 --> 00:23:04.490
Yeah, I think the quote that I used last week

00:23:04.490 --> 00:23:08.329
was from Jack White, right? That, you know, why

00:23:08.329 --> 00:23:10.049
don't you kick yourselves out? You're an immigrant,

00:23:10.210 --> 00:23:12.910
too. Right. We all came from somewhere. Your

00:23:12.910 --> 00:23:14.750
grandma, your grandpa, your great grandma, your

00:23:14.750 --> 00:23:16.829
great grandpa. They all came from somewhere.

00:23:17.990 --> 00:23:22.150
And this this is not our native land. No. Period.

00:23:22.390 --> 00:23:25.009
End of sentence. We all came from someplace else

00:23:25.009 --> 00:23:28.829
and we have a massive statue in New York City.

00:23:29.130 --> 00:23:31.529
Give us your hunger, give us your po... Take

00:23:31.529 --> 00:23:33.970
that shit down. Take that shit down because it's

00:23:33.970 --> 00:23:37.569
not true. It's no longer true. They literally

00:23:37.569 --> 00:23:39.230
should replace it with a sign that just says

00:23:39.230 --> 00:23:44.609
go away. Because that is the sentiment of this

00:23:44.609 --> 00:23:48.549
particular administration. They don't want you.

00:23:48.809 --> 00:23:52.029
Unless you're Caucasian and have money. Then

00:23:52.029 --> 00:23:55.430
they're happy to take you. It's really quite

00:23:55.430 --> 00:23:58.720
disturbing. This is not... As a little kid growing

00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:01.319
up, this is not the America you read about in

00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:03.420
the history books quite frankly the America you

00:24:03.420 --> 00:24:06.220
read about in the history books is not truly

00:24:06.220 --> 00:24:08.599
America because you know, you're not gonna sit

00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:12.059
there and spend weeks talking about things like

00:24:12.059 --> 00:24:14.140
the Trail of Tears, right? I'm not gonna sit

00:24:14.140 --> 00:24:17.900
there And talk about the Tulsa riots which have

00:24:17.900 --> 00:24:20.859
now one of the things that have led to our Juneteenth

00:24:20.859 --> 00:24:23.200
holiday, right? Which who knows how long that

00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:28.160
one's gonna stick around So there is a history

00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:30.720
of this country that I feel gets swept under

00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.579
the rug. And the people with the power and the

00:24:33.579 --> 00:24:36.539
money can do that. They can do it easily. And

00:24:36.539 --> 00:24:39.160
then as history books are written and all this

00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:44.339
other stuff, there's this old quote, and I'm

00:24:44.339 --> 00:24:47.440
a history major from Loyola, so history is kind

00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:51.519
of my thing. So there's this old quote that says,

00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:54.200
the history is written by the winners. Right.

00:24:54.869 --> 00:24:59.369
And that's kind of true. And so unless something

00:24:59.369 --> 00:25:02.690
is done in short order, the history that these

00:25:02.690 --> 00:25:05.150
guys are going to write is not going to be a

00:25:05.150 --> 00:25:06.809
representation of everything that's going on.

00:25:06.950 --> 00:25:08.829
No. And they're not going to tell the story about

00:25:08.829 --> 00:25:11.490
the other half. That's for fucking sure. Yeah,

00:25:11.490 --> 00:25:14.289
it's disturbing. It's disturbing. I just hope

00:25:14.289 --> 00:25:18.430
that future history books will contain the truth

00:25:18.430 --> 00:25:22.190
or at least damn near close to it. But yeah,

00:25:22.230 --> 00:25:24.450
I fear it's exactly as you said, history is written

00:25:24.450 --> 00:25:28.769
by the Victor. And, you know, how quickly we

00:25:28.769 --> 00:25:33.750
forgot how terrible 2016 through 2021 was. Oh,

00:25:33.750 --> 00:25:38.670
yeah. And just re -invited that horror. Yes.

00:25:39.029 --> 00:25:40.869
Re -invited that horror. And the terrible thing

00:25:40.869 --> 00:25:44.450
is we're commenting on it, right? We're providing

00:25:44.450 --> 00:25:48.369
insight. We're telling the tales of the present,

00:25:48.890 --> 00:25:51.910
how perhaps it should be written in future history

00:25:51.910 --> 00:25:55.910
books. But The people who are being oppressed,

00:25:56.910 --> 00:26:04.150
right, those who came from Mexico or Cuba, any

00:26:04.150 --> 00:26:08.190
of these, you know, Central American countries,

00:26:09.009 --> 00:26:10.970
they're the ones who are being targeted, right?

00:26:11.109 --> 00:26:16.789
Yep. Who's, besides communities, you know, who's

00:26:16.789 --> 00:26:19.950
sticking up for them, right? Right. Is it really

00:26:19.950 --> 00:26:24.609
coming down to individual communities? Hey, Second

00:26:24.609 --> 00:26:27.230
Amendment people, this one's for you. Individual

00:26:27.230 --> 00:26:31.430
communities being these well -regulated militias,

00:26:31.750 --> 00:26:36.109
it's absolutely gonna come down to that because

00:26:36.109 --> 00:26:39.190
every social media app is owned by a billionaire.

00:26:39.690 --> 00:26:42.990
Billionaires don't care about fascism because

00:26:42.990 --> 00:26:45.849
it protects capitalism, which allows them to

00:26:45.849 --> 00:26:49.609
continue being billionaires. Which is shocking.

00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:54.119
It is shocking, and it's difficult to organize

00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:57.599
when every social media app is owned by people

00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:01.619
who do not want you to organize. So I guess my

00:27:01.619 --> 00:27:05.299
piece of advice is just stay strong and communicate

00:27:05.299 --> 00:27:09.400
within your communities because shit might get

00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:14.680
kinda crazy. It might. I know there are friends

00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:19.819
of mine that are going through the process. of

00:27:19.819 --> 00:27:22.839
dual citizenship. They're getting their citizenship

00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.660
in other countries and formulating exit plans.

00:27:26.700 --> 00:27:29.539
Right. For their retirement or early retirement.

00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:34.519
That's something I have the ability to do. It

00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:36.980
is something I've kind of been hesitant about

00:27:36.980 --> 00:27:41.380
doing. I'm not sure why, but it's something I

00:27:41.380 --> 00:27:44.640
should probably look into now. Kind of one of

00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:46.359
those things like don't wait until it's too late.

00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:51.480
Right, right. And Number one, we talk about this

00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:55.220
America or this view of what America is or should

00:27:55.220 --> 00:28:00.779
be, and it's no longer. Ultimately, and I will

00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:03.720
say this, my son here, three daughters out in

00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:08.480
the West, thank God they're there, I say this

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:14.099
in that you need to take care of yourself. I've

00:28:14.099 --> 00:28:18.380
been someone that has focused my life helping

00:28:18.380 --> 00:28:21.099
others not always financially because it's been

00:28:21.099 --> 00:28:24.519
a struggle on and off for a while but like anything

00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:29.220
I have to give physically mentally whatever I

00:28:29.220 --> 00:28:31.880
I give to people I always have even if it's just

00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:34.400
listening to someone I've always done that that's

00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:37.380
always kind of been who I am I'm telling all

00:28:37.380 --> 00:28:42.359
of you focus on you take care of your shit consolidate

00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:47.180
your monies all that stuff formulate a plan that

00:28:47.180 --> 00:28:50.400
is an out plan, whatever that might be. Because

00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:51.779
it's going to be something different to everyone.

00:28:52.380 --> 00:28:55.900
But put a plan together. Because as Zayden said,

00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:59.180
I don't think the future, now this future might

00:28:59.180 --> 00:29:01.220
be 20 years down the road, might be two years

00:29:01.220 --> 00:29:04.880
down the road. We'll see how quickly things escalate.

00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:08.559
But it's not going to be great. All empires fall.

00:29:09.740 --> 00:29:14.710
And you have to be prepared. Now that I'm older

00:29:14.710 --> 00:29:17.829
and I'm not married and I'm living on my, I need

00:29:17.829 --> 00:29:20.849
to get my shit together and I need to focus on

00:29:20.849 --> 00:29:23.630
the next plan. Right. I think a lot of you out

00:29:23.630 --> 00:29:26.829
there need to do the same thing. I'm not a gun

00:29:26.829 --> 00:29:30.390
guy. I don't begrudge people who feel they need

00:29:30.390 --> 00:29:32.690
to own them or whatever. I've shot them before.

00:29:34.150 --> 00:29:38.630
I get the like for them, for the people that

00:29:38.630 --> 00:29:42.119
have guns. But I'm getting to the point where

00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:44.740
I feel like I have to have one. Right. Because

00:29:44.740 --> 00:29:47.400
I'm not showing up to a gunfight with a bat or

00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:51.740
a knife because I'm gonna lose. Yeah. And is

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:53.900
it crazy to be like, oh, is it really gonna escalate

00:29:53.900 --> 00:29:56.500
that far? We don't know. Right. We don't know.

00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:58.759
It would be great to sit here and be like, oh,

00:29:58.819 --> 00:30:01.539
that would never happen. But I'm sitting here

00:30:01.539 --> 00:30:04.880
in front of all of you saying, I'm not sure.

00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:07.799
Right. I really don't know, and I want to make

00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:09.700
sure I can take care of myself if shit breaks

00:30:09.700 --> 00:30:12.779
down. Right. Ten years ago, we didn't expect

00:30:12.779 --> 00:30:14.859
concentration camps being built in the United

00:30:14.859 --> 00:30:17.720
States of America. So what's going to happen

00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:19.339
ten years down the line? What's going to happen

00:30:19.339 --> 00:30:21.980
a year down the line? Just think critically for

00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:24.299
a second. Don't allow yourself to be gaslit.

00:30:24.539 --> 00:30:28.759
It is not selfish to focus on yourself and ensure

00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:30.920
your safety and well -being is taken care of.

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:33.839
Agree, you know because that's it's something

00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:36.359
I think I've even told you before is like how

00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:39.460
can you give a hundred percent of yourself? To

00:30:39.460 --> 00:30:41.579
someone else to help them if you're not at a

00:30:41.579 --> 00:30:44.359
hundred percent Right, you know, you've got to

00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:47.019
focus on yourself. So just take care of yourselves

00:30:47.019 --> 00:30:49.799
out there folks Yeah, you really have to and

00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:52.319
to Aidan's point. I've been running on a year

00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:57.099
close to you for a long time and yet I still

00:30:57.099 --> 00:31:00.180
have concern for others Oh, sure. Yeah, that's

00:31:00.180 --> 00:31:03.660
and because it's just That's how my old man was

00:31:03.660 --> 00:31:06.460
built and I learned that from him. Yeah to be

00:31:06.460 --> 00:31:09.960
a good human and so Which is funny because we

00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:11.359
grew up in the Catholic Church and learned shit

00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:13.220
from them, right? I learned how to be a good

00:31:13.220 --> 00:31:16.440
person for my dad, right? And I tried to impart

00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:20.059
that onto my children as well And I think they're

00:31:20.059 --> 00:31:21.619
they're empathetic and they give a shit about

00:31:21.619 --> 00:31:25.970
humans So I feel like I did my part, because

00:31:25.970 --> 00:31:28.069
there are now four other human beings on this

00:31:28.069 --> 00:31:32.069
earth that give a shit. So I'm really happy and

00:31:32.069 --> 00:31:38.369
proud about that. What I'm kind of worried about

00:31:38.369 --> 00:31:41.890
is not so much myself. If I have to knuckle down

00:31:41.890 --> 00:31:44.609
one day and be like, screw it, and just pack

00:31:44.609 --> 00:31:49.819
bags and do what I need to do and... Whether

00:31:49.819 --> 00:31:52.359
it's going to some remote corner of this country

00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:54.019
or whether it's getting out of this cut whatever

00:31:54.019 --> 00:31:57.940
I decide to do I'll do it But my concern is for

00:31:57.940 --> 00:31:59.859
my four kids and I think any parent would have

00:31:59.859 --> 00:32:02.519
that concern because they're a younger generation

00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:07.740
because this hot mess that the boomers and partially

00:32:07.740 --> 00:32:10.599
the gen Xers, but it's it's our fault and then

00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:12.859
and I've said this before because we've had generational

00:32:12.859 --> 00:32:16.680
discussions on the show. Yeah. Yeah that I think

00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:21.099
a gen Xers Like that meme where that one meme

00:32:21.099 --> 00:32:24.000
where like it's a Friday Like leaving work and

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:26.180
the guys like fuck this and he like drops everything

00:32:26.180 --> 00:32:28.619
at his death I feel like that's been Gen X since

00:32:28.619 --> 00:32:31.920
about 9 -eleven. Yeah, like we've just been like,

00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:34.880
okay I'd enough and we just dropped everything

00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:39.019
and we've kind of checked out overall generalization

00:32:39.019 --> 00:32:43.019
overall as As a generation like we're just like

00:32:43.019 --> 00:32:46.059
fuck this. Yeah, and we focused on ourselves

00:32:46.059 --> 00:32:51.359
The boomers We know what they've done. Right.

00:32:52.059 --> 00:32:56.180
And it's pretty unforgivable. Once again, not

00:32:56.180 --> 00:33:00.220
all of you, but generalization as a group, not

00:33:00.220 --> 00:33:04.960
great. And we've left this mess for millennials

00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:10.799
and Gen Zs to kind of figure out. Right. And

00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:14.000
it really, it really worries me. Also from the

00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:17.299
standpoint. of like future conflicts, future

00:33:17.299 --> 00:33:19.660
wars, and drafts, and all those, I'd be like,

00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:23.000
I would tell all of my kids, and I'll tell him

00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:26.720
he's right next to me, I would say, do not fight

00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:30.099
for this place. Nope. Dig a hole in your backyard

00:33:30.099 --> 00:33:34.019
and live in it. Whatever you need to do, you

00:33:34.019 --> 00:33:36.900
do it. But it's not like it was World War II

00:33:36.900 --> 00:33:39.960
and everybody had that patriotic fervor. It's

00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:45.690
just like, yep. F Hitler and F the Emperor of

00:33:45.690 --> 00:33:50.230
Japan and Mussolini and all these guys and let's

00:33:50.230 --> 00:33:53.529
go. Right. It was different then. It was incredibly

00:33:53.529 --> 00:33:57.609
different then. Now it's like, where am I going

00:33:57.609 --> 00:33:59.869
and what do you want me to do right now? Right.

00:33:59.869 --> 00:34:05.630
There's no way. So it's, yeah, it's an issue.

00:34:05.809 --> 00:34:11.440
It's a problem. It's... God, I wish I had an

00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:14.699
answer. I wish I had answers and I don't sometimes

00:34:14.699 --> 00:34:18.340
we offer those up for you fine people And and

00:34:18.340 --> 00:34:20.940
I don't know I got nothing for you. Yeah. Yeah,

00:34:20.940 --> 00:34:24.019
how do you end a segment? That's still ongoing

00:34:24.019 --> 00:34:31.599
it's it's ongoing it's it's depressing and I'm

00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:36.780
I'm not sure it ever gets back To where it once

00:34:36.780 --> 00:34:40.539
was no and this was an interesting point that's

00:34:40.539 --> 00:34:43.619
kind of been replaying through my mind is I've

00:34:43.619 --> 00:34:46.000
kind of been interested in politics, political

00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:50.099
science, the system as a whole ever since I was

00:34:50.099 --> 00:34:55.780
a teenager. And I always thought that a two party

00:34:55.780 --> 00:35:00.679
system with first past the post voting always

00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:04.599
will do this. It will always end up leaning right.

00:35:04.909 --> 00:35:07.170
It will always end up, especially in a capitalist

00:35:07.170 --> 00:35:10.090
society, it will always end up being fascism.

00:35:10.650 --> 00:35:14.210
That's always been my thought. Because first

00:35:14.210 --> 00:35:16.610
past the post always means you'll end up with

00:35:16.610 --> 00:35:19.670
a two party system. In America, it's closer to

00:35:19.670 --> 00:35:24.409
a one party system with one overarching billionaire

00:35:24.409 --> 00:35:29.030
and corporate funding of these parties. They're

00:35:29.030 --> 00:35:31.889
essentially playing for the same team. Only one

00:35:31.889 --> 00:35:33.909
team wants to build concentration camps and the

00:35:33.909 --> 00:35:38.710
other one doesn't. Correct. So I asked the question,

00:35:38.789 --> 00:35:42.210
was this inevitable? Was this inevitable to happen

00:35:42.210 --> 00:35:45.710
to this country? Perhaps. You know, because we

00:35:45.710 --> 00:35:48.289
don't have three or four or five political parties.

00:35:48.510 --> 00:35:51.809
Right. We don't have ranked choice voting. Was

00:35:51.809 --> 00:35:56.070
this inevitable? I think it was. I really when

00:35:56.070 --> 00:35:58.309
you when you look over the course of time, history

00:35:58.309 --> 00:36:03.070
and political science, which I also took, I think

00:36:03.070 --> 00:36:05.860
it was kind of inevitable. When you set up a

00:36:05.860 --> 00:36:10.679
bipartisan system, it gives those in power the

00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:15.199
ability to acquire more power. Right. For themselves.

00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:19.579
Because it's very easy when you have A and B

00:36:19.579 --> 00:36:22.980
to keep them at odds with each other to then

00:36:22.980 --> 00:36:25.300
go do whatever it is that you want to do. Right.

00:36:25.940 --> 00:36:28.460
And if you're trying to consolidate power and

00:36:28.460 --> 00:36:30.820
acquire power and money and everything else that

00:36:30.820 --> 00:36:34.280
goes with that, it's very easy to do that. Because

00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:35.739
you're going to tell one side, ooh, you need

00:36:35.739 --> 00:36:37.360
to be afraid of that, you need to be afraid of

00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:39.760
this, and so on and so forth. And you just kind

00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:42.500
of keep these scales of justice back and forth

00:36:42.500 --> 00:36:44.699
and back and forth. Meanwhile, you're just taking

00:36:44.699 --> 00:36:47.219
what you want to take. Right. And I think that's

00:36:47.219 --> 00:36:51.400
exactly what they're doing. Right. You have a

00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:54.280
nation fighting a culture war when we should

00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:56.639
have been fighting a class war this entire time.

00:36:57.099 --> 00:36:59.760
Because a house divided, a nation divided, look

00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:02.849
where we are. Yes. You know? Well, nation divided

00:37:02.849 --> 00:37:06.809
cannot stand. Yep. And here we are. Yep. Curious.

00:37:07.150 --> 00:37:11.329
Yeah. So, you know, that wasn't a fuzzy feel

00:37:11.329 --> 00:37:13.949
-good beginning of the show by any stretch of

00:37:13.949 --> 00:37:15.929
the imagination, but, you know, we're sitting

00:37:15.929 --> 00:37:21.409
here recording on July 4th, and it doesn't have

00:37:21.409 --> 00:37:24.329
the same meaning. As a matter of fact, I was

00:37:24.329 --> 00:37:26.650
talking with a friend, Melissa, last night, and...

00:37:26.619 --> 00:37:29.219
And I told her, I'm like, you know, I'm not all

00:37:29.219 --> 00:37:32.280
fuzzy, red, white and blue and this and that.

00:37:32.380 --> 00:37:34.139
And it's like, look, if you're going to give

00:37:34.139 --> 00:37:36.500
me a day off, I'm going to have a hot dog. I'm

00:37:36.500 --> 00:37:38.619
going to have a beer. I can go maybe see a few

00:37:38.619 --> 00:37:41.340
people that I know and try to have a good time

00:37:41.340 --> 00:37:47.280
with them. But to reward a system that is shitting

00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:49.119
on so many people, I'm not going to do that.

00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:50.960
No. I'm not going to do that. As a matter of

00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:53.300
fact, I'm wearing my, like, punch a Nazi in the

00:37:53.300 --> 00:37:56.590
face shirt today. Yep. Yep. And I think we should

00:37:56.590 --> 00:37:58.590
all do that. Yeah. Now, if you want to do that

00:37:58.590 --> 00:38:01.690
on a holiday. My man. Line up. Let's go. Yeah,

00:38:01.869 --> 00:38:04.510
absolutely. That's kind of what I said during

00:38:04.510 --> 00:38:06.969
the opening of the show is like, I'll celebrate

00:38:06.969 --> 00:38:09.070
independence from the British, but I am not going

00:38:09.070 --> 00:38:12.090
to celebrate this country today. No. Absolutely

00:38:12.090 --> 00:38:17.380
not. But at any rate, that... kind of concludes

00:38:17.380 --> 00:38:22.539
the opener of the show for our finale. Boy, oh

00:38:22.539 --> 00:38:25.440
boy. Talk about that for a finale. Season two

00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:27.420
popping off. Just wait for season three, baby.

00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:30.840
Yeah, that slow build up, that slow burn. Oh

00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:32.920
yeah. So what we're going to do is we're going

00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:36.300
to take a quick music break, come back and share

00:38:36.300 --> 00:38:53.539
some of our DMs with you. All right, we are back,

00:38:53.579 --> 00:38:56.679
everybody, and I know you're all feeling happy

00:38:56.679 --> 00:39:00.460
and good now with that intro. Very hopeful, I'm

00:39:00.460 --> 00:39:04.019
sure. Very patriotic. Very patriotic. Proud of

00:39:04.019 --> 00:39:07.460
being patriotic. That's all we can sing. Even

00:39:07.460 --> 00:39:08.920
if we wanted to sing it, that's all we can sing.

00:39:09.019 --> 00:39:11.619
We're not taking a strike. Not for you, Lee Greenwood.

00:39:12.500 --> 00:39:15.159
Always been more of a CCR -fortunate son, man.

00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:19.579
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. You know. Or, bone -in

00:39:19.579 --> 00:39:24.500
USA. Sorry Bruce, that's all I'm saying. You

00:39:24.500 --> 00:39:26.500
don't get your dime on this one. Hell no, brother.

00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:30.079
For some reason, I don't know much about Bruce

00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:32.260
Springsteen, but I've unfortunately heard that

00:39:32.260 --> 00:39:37.300
song a thousand times. He sings like he's like

00:39:37.300 --> 00:39:40.099
holding in a shit, you know? He absolutely does.

00:39:40.780 --> 00:39:43.159
He absolutely does. Am I crazy for thinking that?

00:39:46.099 --> 00:39:48.900
Hell yeah, he sure does. Oh no, Bruce ran out

00:39:48.900 --> 00:39:50.880
of his hemorrhoid cream again. He really did.

00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:54.760
He really did. It's a problem. It's definitely

00:39:54.760 --> 00:39:57.659
a problem. My favorite thing is how all the Red

00:39:57.659 --> 00:40:00.119
Hats love that song. We're America. And it's

00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:02.280
like, oh, you need to listen to the lyrics, my

00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:04.460
guy. Do you read the lyrics? Do you know how

00:40:04.460 --> 00:40:08.059
to read? Oh, they don't. Yeah. They don't. And

00:40:08.059 --> 00:40:09.900
clearly, the representatives of this country

00:40:09.900 --> 00:40:11.800
don't either, because it's like, I voted for

00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:15.480
what? Did you read it, asshat? No? OK, great.

00:40:16.739 --> 00:40:20.820
Garbage country. That's a shit show and we do

00:40:20.820 --> 00:40:23.059
have listeners in other parts of the world Hi

00:40:23.059 --> 00:40:25.760
guys, how are you? Can we come? Yes, please.

00:40:26.119 --> 00:40:28.619
How easy is it to get citizenship? We're looking.

00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:31.760
We're shopping. Yes. We are definitely shopping.

00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:34.059
Through window shopping, we're to move. Yeah,

00:40:34.059 --> 00:40:37.159
so if you've got a better sitch there, hit us

00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:40.960
up in the socials for sure. We're now on to Carpe

00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:45.019
Diem. You fine folks send us your DMs and we

00:40:45.019 --> 00:40:47.440
read them on air. Sometimes they're just statements.

00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:49.719
Sometimes they're silly. Sometimes there's questions.

00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:53.110
We'll answer them. Well. We don't have to. We

00:40:53.110 --> 00:40:55.530
don't have to. Legally speaking. Legally speaking.

00:40:55.550 --> 00:40:58.710
We're not legally binded. Oh, not at all. But

00:40:58.710 --> 00:41:01.710
we could be coerced. Should you give us your,

00:41:01.710 --> 00:41:04.909
I don't know, social security card. Sure. The

00:41:04.909 --> 00:41:08.530
16 digits plus three digits plus expiration date

00:41:08.530 --> 00:41:11.429
of your credit card. It's important. Yep. The

00:41:11.429 --> 00:41:13.329
deed to your house if you own one. Deed to your

00:41:13.329 --> 00:41:17.590
house would be great. No question. So just little

00:41:17.590 --> 00:41:19.349
things. Just little things like that. We could

00:41:19.349 --> 00:41:23.679
be coerced into choosing your DM. Indeed. So,

00:41:23.860 --> 00:41:28.639
um, where, what are your DMs? See, here's the

00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:30.500
thing, man. That opener still has me all fucked

00:41:30.500 --> 00:41:33.920
up, man. Oh yeah, no. I'm still riled. I'm trying

00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:36.079
to, and I knew it would happen. Yeah. So I'm

00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:38.420
trying to kind of get back level, get back into

00:41:38.420 --> 00:41:41.739
the show and our segments. Help us. Help us,

00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:46.800
please. This DM might. I got a DM from the H

00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:50.820
.R. Magnate. Uh -oh. I didn't do it. No, I was

00:41:50.820 --> 00:41:52.079
going to say the same thing. I didn't do it.

00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:54.420
I think it's a different question, though. What's

00:41:54.420 --> 00:41:58.519
the craziest reason you've seen someone get fired?

00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:04.579
Oh, wow. That's a good question. I have a couple

00:42:04.579 --> 00:42:08.280
come to mind immediately, both from the same

00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:11.800
workplace. I used to work, we all used to work,

00:42:11.940 --> 00:42:16.039
at this bakery in Valparaiso. I'm not going to

00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:19.010
name it, because I don't know. what the legality

00:42:19.010 --> 00:42:22.309
is talking about these. And there's new owners.

00:42:23.550 --> 00:42:25.610
It's not even worth the fight anymore. No, no.

00:42:25.710 --> 00:42:28.909
So we all worked at this bakery. We all eventually

00:42:28.909 --> 00:42:32.289
left. But I went back. I got rehired for a different

00:42:32.289 --> 00:42:34.829
position. I originally worked as an assistant

00:42:34.829 --> 00:42:37.110
manager. I got rehired as a department manager.

00:42:38.070 --> 00:42:41.030
It was a whole thing. But my second time around,

00:42:41.769 --> 00:42:44.360
there were two people. Two people, one of which

00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:46.679
I may have had a direct hand in getting fired,

00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:50.579
and the other one I also did. Well, there you

00:42:50.579 --> 00:42:55.800
go. But the first one, let's say his name was

00:42:55.800 --> 00:43:01.159
Apple. This man, Apple, was the department manager

00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:04.780
of the one I was being hired to eventually take.

00:43:05.500 --> 00:43:10.480
This guy was a bit of an alcoholic, kind of drinking

00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:16.460
on the job, and then... Eventually So We were

00:43:16.460 --> 00:43:19.659
driving somewhere to do a pop -up event to sell

00:43:19.659 --> 00:43:23.860
our bakery product somewhere. I was driving Because

00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:26.400
I was still learning like the how to drive with

00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:30.360
a big trailer behind you and everything so In

00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:33.639
the passenger seat next to me. He pulls out a

00:43:33.639 --> 00:43:37.019
small baggie of white powder. Oh Takes out a

00:43:37.019 --> 00:43:41.960
little knife. Oh Man needed that right next to

00:43:41.960 --> 00:43:45.320
me Just chill just like nothing was going on.

00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:47.639
All right, okay. So the white girl interrupted

00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:50.800
exactly in the back of my mind. I'm like, oh

00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:54.099
Shit, I didn't I didn't know this dude ran like

00:43:54.099 --> 00:44:00.480
that so I eventually get him fired for doing

00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:05.639
that next to me not not because like I Don't

00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:08.079
know I don't know how to how to close that statement

00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:10.159
All I'm trying to say is if you do coke next

00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:12.789
to me and I already don't like you You're done.

00:44:13.269 --> 00:44:16.550
I'm gonna get you cooked. The second one was

00:44:16.550 --> 00:44:20.130
after COVID, we couldn't really do pop -up events

00:44:20.130 --> 00:44:24.110
anywhere because no one wanted to bring outsiders

00:44:24.110 --> 00:44:27.449
in and we didn't want to go anywhere, sus. So

00:44:27.449 --> 00:44:29.409
I was working in the store and we had another

00:44:29.409 --> 00:44:34.110
assistant manager, bit of a druggie, lost tabs

00:44:34.110 --> 00:44:39.230
of LSD in the store, in the bakery, and had other

00:44:39.230 --> 00:44:44.619
employees helping her look for them. Miners helping

00:44:44.619 --> 00:44:49.340
the assistant manager find her lost LSD in the

00:44:49.340 --> 00:44:55.780
bakery. Holy shit. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So that both

00:44:55.780 --> 00:44:59.360
of those came from the same store right around

00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:05.559
the same couple year tenure of mine there. Those

00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:08.219
I would say are the the two craziest reasons

00:45:08.219 --> 00:45:11.420
I've seen someone get fired. Holy shit. Yeah.

00:45:12.029 --> 00:45:15.610
That's crazy. Do you have any nuts -up stories,

00:45:15.969 --> 00:45:19.750
too? Wow. Yeah, I mean, I've seen a lot of people

00:45:19.750 --> 00:45:22.670
come and go. Hell, I've even had to fire people

00:45:22.670 --> 00:45:25.869
and whatever. And it always sucks, whether you

00:45:25.869 --> 00:45:27.250
like them or not, because you know it's going

00:45:27.250 --> 00:45:29.269
to have a massive financial impact against them.

00:45:29.269 --> 00:45:32.449
So I always think about that. And been on the

00:45:32.449 --> 00:45:34.070
end of that a couple of times myself. It was

00:45:34.070 --> 00:45:38.820
just never a good feeling. Think about this one

00:45:38.820 --> 00:45:42.320
now for all of you folks outside the United States

00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:44.619
And I'm sure you understand the game of baseball

00:45:44.619 --> 00:45:48.260
and what baseball is and all that right, so I'm

00:45:48.260 --> 00:45:51.699
working at a place. It's no longer there. Unfortunately

00:45:51.699 --> 00:45:57.500
is called funtime square really cool place and

00:45:57.500 --> 00:46:00.800
So it had like race cars. You could do like race

00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:04.539
car stuff it had these uh these boats well it

00:46:04.539 --> 00:46:05.940
was like a big inner tube and you can go with

00:46:05.940 --> 00:46:08.159
these boats and like bump into each other and

00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:09.679
squirt each other and all that kind of stuff

00:46:09.679 --> 00:46:13.960
uh i had mini golf and had batting cages kind

00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:16.800
of neat place oh and a little arcade so i got

00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:22.039
a friend a job there and the way the batting

00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:26.099
cages work is that the cement pitches downward

00:46:26.099 --> 00:46:28.599
so all the balls will eventually no matter where

00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:30.639
you hit it the balls are going to kind of go

00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:34.570
down and collect um most times back behind this

00:46:34.570 --> 00:46:37.829
net and then because everything's pitched downward

00:46:37.829 --> 00:46:42.230
it goes into this big uh dish i guess you could

00:46:42.230 --> 00:46:44.829
call it yeah yep and it goes in this thing and

00:46:44.829 --> 00:46:46.429
then there's all these conveyors that pick up

00:46:46.429 --> 00:46:47.989
the balls that go into the machines that shoot

00:46:47.989 --> 00:46:51.389
the balls at you right and so he's back there

00:46:51.389 --> 00:46:53.590
and these guys are paying they're yelling blah

00:46:53.590 --> 00:46:56.409
blah blah whatever so something's jammed up down

00:46:56.409 --> 00:46:57.929
there the balls aren't going into the conveyor

00:46:57.929 --> 00:46:59.869
which means there's no balls going at the people

00:46:59.869 --> 00:47:03.710
right so My friend runs back there. So there's

00:47:03.710 --> 00:47:05.750
like this little path that you walk back behind

00:47:05.750 --> 00:47:09.070
this so you have like a gate or like a fence

00:47:09.070 --> 00:47:12.369
on one side and mesh on the other to protect

00:47:12.369 --> 00:47:14.090
you from the ball. Right. Right. The ball comes

00:47:14.090 --> 00:47:16.230
at you and just mesh. You're going to get hit.

00:47:16.250 --> 00:47:18.409
Yeah. So he runs back behind there and then he

00:47:18.409 --> 00:47:21.570
goes down into the dish and he's protected. Right.

00:47:21.690 --> 00:47:24.130
So like everything is pretty like if anything

00:47:24.130 --> 00:47:25.849
came at him, he's back behind the thing. So you

00:47:25.849 --> 00:47:28.369
can be back there while people are hitting. And

00:47:28.369 --> 00:47:31.909
so he's trying to free it up. And so. He's, he's

00:47:31.909 --> 00:47:33.650
like trying to do it and people are yelling.

00:47:34.110 --> 00:47:37.849
So he starts manually dropping balls into these

00:47:37.849 --> 00:47:40.869
machines and they're flying at people. The people

00:47:40.869 --> 00:47:42.969
aren't even expecting that guy. Whoa, what the

00:47:42.969 --> 00:47:45.510
shit? And the balls are flying at these people.

00:47:45.730 --> 00:47:47.409
And they're just like, what the hell? I almost

00:47:47.409 --> 00:47:49.329
hit this dude and they're yelling back at him.

00:47:49.349 --> 00:47:52.050
And he's like, and so like I'm in the outside

00:47:52.050 --> 00:47:54.550
and this other guy, Dave was the general manager.

00:47:54.570 --> 00:47:57.670
He's kind of a dick, but whatever. And so like

00:47:57.670 --> 00:48:02.559
Dave's letting it happen. As if he were waiting

00:48:02.559 --> 00:48:06.590
for this opportunity. He's like Now, let's see

00:48:06.590 --> 00:48:08.230
what happens. We're just going to soak this in

00:48:08.230 --> 00:48:12.309
for a second. So he's trying to fix the thing.

00:48:12.590 --> 00:48:16.349
He goes down. His foot slips into the dish. The

00:48:16.349 --> 00:48:19.409
dish goes flying up in the air. Baseballs go

00:48:19.409 --> 00:48:21.809
flying everywhere. Now the baseballs are collecting

00:48:21.809 --> 00:48:24.690
down in this hole that the dish sits on. And

00:48:24.690 --> 00:48:28.329
it was a hot mess. And people are yelling at

00:48:28.329 --> 00:48:31.710
him and everything else. And so he's like, Mark,

00:48:31.750 --> 00:48:34.349
would you go help him out? And I looked at him

00:48:34.349 --> 00:48:38.900
and said, Dave. what if i said no and he kind

00:48:38.900 --> 00:48:40.840
of laughed he's like i would really prefer that

00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:44.480
you did like gosh shit whatever so like two minutes

00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:46.840
later we had everything back together it's just

00:48:46.840 --> 00:48:50.639
like come on man and uh holy shit and literally

00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:55.079
he comes back up and oh i forgot this one part

00:48:55.079 --> 00:48:58.820
when he's leaving And there's baseballs everywhere,

00:48:58.900 --> 00:49:01.179
like in these batting cages from him firing stuff

00:49:01.179 --> 00:49:04.699
off. And people are picking up the baseballs

00:49:04.699 --> 00:49:06.340
and either throwing the balls up in the air and

00:49:06.340 --> 00:49:09.880
hitting them or just throwing them back and trying

00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:14.059
to hit him as he's leaving. It was the most amazing

00:49:14.059 --> 00:49:18.539
thing I'd fucking awesome ever seen. As I get

00:49:18.539 --> 00:49:21.260
him out of there, I'm laughing so hard I fall

00:49:21.260 --> 00:49:24.860
to the ground. I can't breathe. It's like, oh

00:49:24.860 --> 00:49:27.420
yeah, laugh forever, effing this and blah, blah,

00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:31.039
blah, whatever. Dave comes up like he's all concerned.

00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:35.159
Oh my God. Are you all right? You okay? It was

00:49:35.159 --> 00:49:37.420
a situation down there. You all right? He said,

00:49:37.420 --> 00:49:38.840
oh man, blah, blah, blah, and this and that.

00:49:38.860 --> 00:49:41.099
He's like, yeah, I really saw that. And he's

00:49:41.099 --> 00:49:44.300
like, the dish and everything. I know, right?

00:49:44.300 --> 00:49:47.510
He's like, yeah, man, you're fired. And just

00:49:47.510 --> 00:49:51.969
like that, just like that, that dude was gone.

00:49:52.969 --> 00:49:58.090
Oh my god. I love that Dave's moment, just being

00:49:58.090 --> 00:50:02.510
an agent of chaos, was simply standing there.

00:50:02.690 --> 00:50:06.130
He was. Arms folded. It's such a power move.

00:50:06.309 --> 00:50:08.150
It's such a power move. Arms folded. I'm gonna

00:50:08.150 --> 00:50:10.750
wait this one out. Yep. Let's just see what happens.

00:50:10.909 --> 00:50:13.739
I was like, oh my god. I'm like, I don't like

00:50:13.739 --> 00:50:16.619
you, but in this moment, yeah. I'm like, I totally

00:50:16.619 --> 00:50:18.619
vibe with what you're doing. What a G maneuver.

00:50:18.699 --> 00:50:20.300
It really was. It really was. Holy shit. That

00:50:20.300 --> 00:50:22.440
would probably be my number one for sure. My

00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:28.039
man Dave. Magic Man was the next DM at Magic

00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:32.800
Man. I offer you this, he says, $50 ,000 today,

00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:38.119
but you die exactly one week after your 69th

00:50:38.119 --> 00:50:43.059
birthday. Do you accept? Ooh. That's tough. I

00:50:43.059 --> 00:50:46.659
don't know. Yeah, because like I mean life is

00:50:46.659 --> 00:50:53.639
so uncertain anyway, but 69 nice 69 plus one

00:50:53.639 --> 00:50:57.460
week is Short for a lifespan, right? Sure, you

00:50:57.460 --> 00:51:01.019
know usually humans live to 75 give or take except

00:51:01.019 --> 00:51:03.260
in the US where our life expectancy is lower

00:51:03.260 --> 00:51:07.840
because Yeah, we don't have health care But 50

00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:11.980
grand is 50 grand enough to potentially Shorten

00:51:11.980 --> 00:51:15.820
your life by five years Yeah, yeah, cuz it's

00:51:15.820 --> 00:51:18.019
it is a life -changing quantity of money. It

00:51:18.019 --> 00:51:21.900
would lift a lot of stress of today Yeah, but

00:51:21.900 --> 00:51:25.820
He's 69 plus a week too young. Is that trade

00:51:25.820 --> 00:51:30.239
worth it man? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.

00:51:30.260 --> 00:51:37.079
I feel as if I feel as if The amount word larger

00:51:38.659 --> 00:51:41.460
I would probably, if we're talking maybe 200,

00:51:41.760 --> 00:51:45.860
250 ,000, I think I'd say yes. Sure. With 50

00:51:45.860 --> 00:51:50.360
grand, I don't know. You made the perfect comment

00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:53.340
about not having health care. I have a problem

00:51:53.340 --> 00:51:56.019
with my liver, something with my lungs, you know,

00:51:56.159 --> 00:51:57.940
whatever. People getting their 60s started having

00:51:57.940 --> 00:51:59.840
health problems. Right, right. I have something

00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:01.460
like that and I don't have health insurance.

00:52:01.559 --> 00:52:03.500
50 grand's gone anyway. It's gone anyway, yeah.

00:52:03.739 --> 00:52:07.559
And now an argument for would be okay once you

00:52:07.559 --> 00:52:10.780
get in your 70s and 80s isn't that the I can't

00:52:10.780 --> 00:52:13.659
see real well I can't hear real well. Oh damn.

00:52:13.659 --> 00:52:16.199
I just shit myself like isn't it those years

00:52:16.199 --> 00:52:19.599
the quality of life, right? So You know now I'm

00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:21.340
not saying all people in their 70s are that way

00:52:21.340 --> 00:52:23.059
some people make it into their 80s and they look

00:52:23.059 --> 00:52:25.800
like they're 60 and right, right You won the

00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:29.900
lottery there. So maybe and plus the other day

fence. I don't know. Yeah, that's that is a very

00:53:04.889 --> 00:53:08.309
ah That's tough. I think it's a well -balanced

00:53:08.309 --> 00:53:11.190
question sure. Oh, yeah, because it's it's a

00:53:11.190 --> 00:53:13.869

asking, hypothetically, making a salary, would

00:53:46.099 --> 00:53:51.420
you rather get a 15 % raise every year working

00:53:51.420 --> 00:53:57.280
40 hours or get a 5 % raise every year, but you

00:53:57.280 --> 00:54:01.460
only have to work 30? The last one yeah the last

00:54:01.460 --> 00:54:05.019
one Money's money it comes in it goes sometimes

00:54:05.019 --> 00:54:08.480
you have it Sometimes you know right when time

00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:11.260
is gone. You can never ever get it back very

00:54:11.260 --> 00:54:17.599
true and I as I as I age I realize that and I'll

00:54:17.599 --> 00:54:20.699
sit there and be like oh You know money's tight.

00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:23.039
I can't do this or I can't do that or I'm kind

00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:27.050
of tired or what I get off your ass and do whatever

00:54:27.050 --> 00:54:31.449
it is, because every time you go to sleep, another

00:54:31.449 --> 00:54:35.130
day is gone. Right. Don't fuck with that. Go

00:54:35.130 --> 00:54:38.090
do whatever it is you want to do. Yeah. I agree.

00:54:38.309 --> 00:54:41.530
I lean exactly the same way. You know, it's an

00:54:41.530 --> 00:54:43.969
extra 10 hours a week, but you add that up over

00:54:43.969 --> 00:54:47.190
a year, you're getting literal days of your life

00:54:47.190 --> 00:54:50.289
back. Yes. Days of your life back. And you're

00:54:50.289 --> 00:54:52.750
still getting a 5 % raise yearly, which is fairly

00:54:52.750 --> 00:54:55.690
typical. Which is typical. At least it was typical.

00:54:55.889 --> 00:54:57.329
It used to be typical. It used to be typical.

00:54:57.469 --> 00:54:59.909
Now people, yeah, like cost of living increase,

00:55:00.130 --> 00:55:03.190
5 .5%. Oh, you raised two. Yeah. Okay. So I'm

00:55:03.190 --> 00:55:04.769
losing money on the deal. Great. Right. That's

00:55:04.769 --> 00:55:07.010
super. Yeah. Oh, and on top of that, it's now

00:55:07.010 --> 00:55:09.849
nine to six instead of nine to five. Yes. Oh,

00:55:09.909 --> 00:55:13.650
yeah. Yeah. Yep. Thanks, Corpo America. Once

00:55:13.650 --> 00:55:16.590
again, it's where this corporatocracy, theocracy,

00:55:16.769 --> 00:55:19.900
it's just the direction we're going. Yep. Um,

00:55:20.239 --> 00:55:23.360
all right, uh, I got a dm from at tricksy lane

00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:27.539

gaming site. Oh, thanks I know everyone is excited

00:55:30.300 --> 00:55:32.860
to celebrate independence day, but I work two

00:55:32.860 --> 00:55:35.079
jobs I've been thrown off my insurance and my

00:55:35.079 --> 00:55:37.719
best friend's boyfriend who is here illegally

00:55:37.719 --> 00:55:40.780
or who is here legally Just got picked up by

00:55:40.780 --> 00:55:43.119
ice in california. Sorry, but fuck america right

00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:46.539
now fair point first of all, thank you Appreciate

00:55:46.539 --> 00:55:51.250
that. Yep Yeah, I agree. I fully agree. I'm sorry

00:55:51.250 --> 00:55:54.769
to hear that about your best friend's boyfriend

00:55:54.769 --> 00:55:58.750
that is fucked up. So like we were saying in

00:55:58.750 --> 00:56:01.349
the intro, get your exit plan down, you know?

00:56:01.349 --> 00:56:03.489
Get it. You have to. Get the fuck out of this

00:56:03.489 --> 00:56:07.090
hellhole. Right. Because at what point, after

00:56:07.090 --> 00:56:09.010
they've picked up all the brown people that they

00:56:09.010 --> 00:56:11.989
want, at what point does this government go,

00:56:12.250 --> 00:56:14.090
you know what? All those people stand in the

00:56:14.090 --> 00:56:16.920
corners protesting. Let's pick them up too. Right.

00:56:17.099 --> 00:56:18.360
What's going to stop them? They already have.

00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:20.340
They're already throwing protesters in the back

00:56:20.340 --> 00:56:23.619
of these unmarked vans. Yes, they are. They already

00:56:23.619 --> 00:56:26.579
are. No. And I'm just telling you, I say, no,

00:56:26.639 --> 00:56:29.019
you don't operate in the red states heavily.

00:56:29.679 --> 00:56:31.579
But if you come to Valpo and you try throwing

00:56:31.579 --> 00:56:34.559
me in a van, you're going to have to kill me.

00:56:34.559 --> 00:56:38.880
Right. And I'm not just saying that to say it.

00:56:39.860 --> 00:56:43.460
I am 100 % you try doing that. I'm going for

00:56:43.460 --> 00:56:45.940
your gun. Yeah, I am gonna step on your feet.

00:56:46.059 --> 00:56:48.780
I'm gonna poke your eye I'm taking people. Yeah,

00:56:48.780 --> 00:56:52.019
that's all there is to it Yeah, this you have

00:56:52.019 --> 00:56:54.739
to as you said protesting is great. Have your

00:56:54.739 --> 00:57:01.420
voice heard but when you make peaceful protest

00:57:01.420 --> 00:57:08.170
impossible violent Revolution inevitable is inevitable

00:57:08.170 --> 00:57:11.010
absolutely that's what that's what yep but anyway

00:57:11.010 --> 00:57:14.150
also I know I mentioned a last week or two weeks

00:57:14.150 --> 00:57:17.949
ago but I know my rights I know castle doctrine

00:57:17.949 --> 00:57:20.269
and stay in your ground laws all I'm saying is

00:57:20.269 --> 00:57:23.630
try and step foot on my property yep oh yeah

00:57:23.630 --> 00:57:27.639
go ahead guide yeah That's and here's what's

00:57:27.639 --> 00:57:29.699
funny Aiden and we'll get back to the the DMS

00:57:29.699 --> 00:57:32.900
in just a second. Here's what's funny back God,

00:57:32.900 --> 00:57:34.260
I don't know when it was I'd want to say it was

00:57:34.260 --> 00:57:36.440
the early 2000s might have been after 9 -eleven

00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:40.380
there was a thing with ranchers and gun rights

00:57:40.380 --> 00:57:43.139
and all kinds of weird stuff in Oregon and I'll

00:57:43.139 --> 00:57:45.400
never forget it and I always thought man those

00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:47.619
guys are kooks and this and that and Then the

00:57:47.619 --> 00:57:49.059
more I thought about it, even though they're

00:57:49.059 --> 00:57:51.300
probably on the red side of things these days

00:57:51.300 --> 00:57:54.420
The more I thought about it is like no fuck them

00:57:54.420 --> 00:57:57.349
get off my land, right? Yeah, you know if you

00:57:57.349 --> 00:58:00.909
have a warrant and you come here with it and

00:58:00.909 --> 00:58:04.409
it's just like it was like Back then the government

00:58:04.409 --> 00:58:06.570
was overstepping right? Yeah, what they were

00:58:06.570 --> 00:58:08.829
doing. So I'm right there with you, man Yeah,

00:58:08.829 --> 00:58:13.630
get get to step off. Yeah. Oh At White Sox Jerry.

00:58:13.670 --> 00:58:20.250
Oh, no Oh, no Okay, here we go good and bad and

00:58:20.250 --> 00:58:24.690
good and bad. I can't take this. Oh Jerry Jerry

00:58:25.269 --> 00:58:28.949
They tease me and then they lose a bunch of row

00:58:28.949 --> 00:58:32.369
again They are the second worst team in baseball.

00:58:32.369 --> 00:58:36.190
Who am I kidding? I'm gonna go sit on some fireworks

00:58:36.190 --> 00:58:41.650
Jerry oh Jerry My heart goes out to you. I would

00:58:41.650 --> 00:58:45.570
say there's a team in the north. Yeah that you

00:58:45.570 --> 00:58:47.849
could start rooting for there's first place Yeah,

00:58:47.849 --> 00:58:50.590
they're much more much more colorful team. You

00:58:50.590 --> 00:58:55.769
get blue and red sometimes yellow sometimes Yeah,

00:58:55.769 --> 00:58:58.110
you could be a Cubs fan. Jerry, you could be

00:58:58.110 --> 00:59:00.809
a Cubs fan. You could do it. Imagine rooting

00:59:00.809 --> 00:59:03.730
for a team that wins games. Yep. Think about

00:59:03.730 --> 00:59:06.429
it. That's all I'm saying. I have no more advice

00:59:06.429 --> 00:59:09.210
for you. It has been a sad life, Jerry. It is

00:59:09.210 --> 00:59:11.250
a sad life. But hey, just like Denzel said in

00:59:11.250 --> 00:59:12.809
the equalizer, right? When the little girl's

00:59:12.809 --> 00:59:14.809
like, you know, oh, that doesn't happen in my

00:59:14.809 --> 00:59:17.289
world, Denzel says what? Change your world. Yep.

00:59:17.579 --> 00:59:19.360
Change your world, Jerry. Change your world,

00:59:19.539 --> 00:59:20.840
Jerry. You know, things have been tough since

00:59:20.840 --> 00:59:24.699
about the mid -2000s, so... Come to the dark

00:59:24.699 --> 00:59:26.380
side. We have better bars on that side of town

00:59:26.380 --> 00:59:29.139
anyway. Yes. Damn right. Damn right. All right.

00:59:29.400 --> 00:59:31.579
And decent ownership. And decent ownership. They

00:59:31.579 --> 00:59:34.679
seem to want to win. At Professor Puffin's stuff.

00:59:35.099 --> 00:59:39.239
Oh, my man. We will all die. Oh! That is a certainty.

00:59:40.300 --> 00:59:42.519
Man, he is just with the vibe of the show today.

00:59:42.739 --> 00:59:45.360
Thanks, Professor. Thanks, Prof. We will all

00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:48.519
die, that is a certainty. The amount of PFAS

00:59:48.519 --> 00:59:51.519
and microplastics in all our bodies means we

00:59:51.519 --> 00:59:55.019
will just die faster. This is true. Thank God

00:59:55.019 --> 00:59:57.579
I am a Gen -Xer, because it means I don't give

00:59:57.579 --> 01:00:01.599
a shit. Professor Puff and Stuff, I love you,

01:00:01.739 --> 01:00:06.880
dude. My man. You can thank DuPont for all the

01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:10.440
forever chemicals. And they're still making them,

01:00:10.480 --> 01:00:12.340
by the way. They just changed what it's called.

01:00:12.619 --> 01:00:15.780
Correct. So yeah, thanks DuPont. You're actively

01:00:15.780 --> 01:00:19.159
killing people, I've heard. So that's pretty

01:00:19.159 --> 01:00:21.480
great. The microplastics we still don't even

01:00:21.480 --> 01:00:24.760
know the ramifications of because of their recent

01:00:24.760 --> 01:00:26.860
discovery like, oh, there's microplastics in

01:00:26.860 --> 01:00:29.079
your testicles. There's microplastics in babies.

01:00:29.320 --> 01:00:32.699
There's microplastics in your brain. So it'll

01:00:32.699 --> 01:00:35.940
be fun discovering what that means for us. It

01:00:35.940 --> 01:00:38.280
really will and the amazing thing is when DuPont

01:00:38.280 --> 01:00:41.559
did what they did or had been doing right the

01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:46.900
60s and on that It you don't even have to have

01:00:46.900 --> 01:00:49.300
direct contact anymore. It's not like oh I cooked

01:00:49.300 --> 01:00:51.679
on Teflon pans for 20 years and this and that

01:00:51.679 --> 01:00:54.679
It's people are born with it. They are born with

01:00:54.679 --> 01:00:57.860
it in their system already You can get it from

01:00:57.860 --> 01:01:01.199
microwave popcorn eating microwave popcorn will

01:01:01.199 --> 01:01:04.710
heighten the quantity of forever chemicals in

01:01:04.710 --> 01:01:08.750
your body. You can get it from being too near

01:01:08.750 --> 01:01:11.769
to the plant, which of course makes sense. You

01:01:11.769 --> 01:01:14.329
can get them in your body for existing. All you

01:01:14.329 --> 01:01:17.769
have to do is exist. That's it. It's unbelievable.

01:01:18.750 --> 01:01:20.929
And well, the fun part is none of those people

01:01:20.929 --> 01:01:24.110
will ever see jail time for, you know, creating

01:01:24.110 --> 01:01:27.730
a chemical that kills people because, hey, they're

01:01:27.730 --> 01:01:30.769
making money doing it. In a capitalist society,

01:01:30.849 --> 01:01:33.849
if you're making money killing people, it doesn't

01:01:33.849 --> 01:01:35.849
matter. You're making money. It does not matter.

01:01:36.150 --> 01:01:38.929
Yeah. Curious how that all pans out. I got into

01:01:38.929 --> 01:01:41.969
the wrong industry. Oh, for sure. Yeah, you and

01:01:41.969 --> 01:01:46.250
me both. Last, certainly not least, at stonerstanley420.

01:01:46.289 --> 01:01:51.909
My man. Bang, bang, bang, Momo and Alan. There

01:01:51.909 --> 01:01:56.090
are noises going on. Is it another American renovation?

01:01:57.860 --> 01:02:02.900
The great American renovation. Should I get a

01:02:02.900 --> 01:02:06.440
gun? Where do I get a gun? Do they have them

01:02:06.440 --> 01:02:10.360
at Family Express? People should smoke more.

01:02:10.820 --> 01:02:13.239
Oh, shit. I didn't know Stoner Stanley was a

01:02:13.239 --> 01:02:15.840
local calling out Family Express. He really did.

01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:18.380
You know, Walmart used to sell guns. They used

01:02:18.380 --> 01:02:20.260
to. And then they stopped selling guns. I'm in

01:02:20.260 --> 01:02:23.099
Dix, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. They used

01:02:23.099 --> 01:02:25.980
to have a hunting section at Dix Sporting Goods.

01:02:26.139 --> 01:02:29.340
Yeah, it's curious. Curious that. Stoner, I think,

01:02:29.860 --> 01:02:31.519
well, if you're in Indiana, I think you could

01:02:31.519 --> 01:02:34.039
just walk into a store and purchase a gun. Yes.

01:02:34.099 --> 01:02:36.940
Because, hey, we roll like that, I guess. Yes.

01:02:39.360 --> 01:02:42.400
The American renovation is fucking awesome. I

01:02:42.400 --> 01:02:44.800
love that idea. Me too. It's just like, yeah,

01:02:45.019 --> 01:02:47.400
fascism is here. You know, we've got an actual

01:02:47.400 --> 01:02:49.760
American Gestapo. But what if we just change

01:02:49.760 --> 01:02:51.980
how it looks a little bit? What if we just renovate

01:02:51.980 --> 01:02:54.260
a little bit? Change the drapes. Pull up that

01:02:54.260 --> 01:02:59.369
carpet. Oh, my man. Bang, bang, bang to you too,

01:02:59.469 --> 01:03:03.409
Starter Stanley. Absolutely. I say a big thumbs

01:03:03.409 --> 01:03:06.690
up on the American renovation. Do you need a

01:03:06.690 --> 01:03:09.909
gun? I'm not going to advise you on that. No.

01:03:09.909 --> 01:03:12.309
I'm not going to advise you. There are gun shows,

01:03:12.510 --> 01:03:15.409
Stanley. I don't know if there's one kind of

01:03:15.409 --> 01:03:19.670
where you're at. But from what I hear, the gun

01:03:19.670 --> 01:03:22.530
shows are kind of like the Wild West. So if you

01:03:22.530 --> 01:03:24.409
just show up with a couple of hundo, you can

01:03:24.409 --> 01:03:27.010
probably leave with something. Yeah. So just

01:03:27.010 --> 01:03:29.599
keep that in mind. Exactly. Best of luck to you,

01:03:29.699 --> 01:03:32.099
Stan. Best of luck. I love that guy. I do too.

01:03:32.380 --> 01:03:35.340
Yeah. Oh, he always makes me laugh. But before

01:03:35.340 --> 01:03:37.960
we go to our next break, we do have the other

01:03:37.960 --> 01:03:42.380
foods with Aiden. It is where he scours the globe

01:03:42.380 --> 01:03:45.059
for, oh, I don't know, food that would make a

01:03:45.059 --> 01:03:48.920
billy go puke. This is real food. This is stuff

01:03:48.920 --> 01:03:52.559
people actually eat. And Aiden finds them and

01:03:52.559 --> 01:03:54.320
manages to gross us out each and every week.

01:03:54.699 --> 01:04:00.639
Yes. I'm very excited on this. July 4th. What

01:04:00.639 --> 01:04:07.159
have you found for us? I traveled to Cambodia.

01:04:08.099 --> 01:04:10.440
Oh, Cambodia. All right. Cambodia. Let's go.

01:04:10.679 --> 01:04:12.960
This little thing. Actually, it's not very little

01:04:12.960 --> 01:04:16.239
in its world. It's actually one of the larger

01:04:16.239 --> 01:04:20.579
ones. Tarantula. Oh, just a spider. Just a spider.

01:04:20.880 --> 01:04:25.400
Fried spider. regional delicacy in Cambodia okay

01:04:25.400 --> 01:04:29.019
the spiders are a species of tarantula called

01:04:29.019 --> 01:04:33.179
a ping I'm sure it's like a ping I don't know

01:04:33.179 --> 01:04:36.840
how to pronounce that I'm sorry in a town of

01:04:36.840 --> 01:04:39.960
Khmer they're about the size of a human palm

01:04:39.960 --> 01:04:43.800
oh my they are bred in holes in the ground outside

01:04:43.800 --> 01:04:49.119
or captured in forests The type of spider typically

01:04:49.119 --> 01:04:52.840
used is the Thai zebra tarantula also known as

01:04:52.840 --> 01:04:56.199
edible spider Which I will not be referring it

01:04:56.199 --> 01:04:59.960
to This type of spider has more potent venom

01:04:59.960 --> 01:05:04.079
than other tarantulas and has no Irritating hair

01:05:04.079 --> 01:05:07.159
so it can defend itself by biting or running

01:05:07.159 --> 01:05:09.780
away So of course you wouldn't want irritating

01:05:09.780 --> 01:05:13.659
hair in your food. Oh god. No the Quote, the

01:05:13.659 --> 01:05:16.679
abdomen and head are crispy on the outside and

01:05:16.679 --> 01:05:20.000
gooey in the middle with delicate white meat,

01:05:20.159 --> 01:05:26.300
the article says. The abdomen also has a brown

01:05:26.300 --> 01:05:30.579
paste of organs and excrements and sometimes

01:05:30.579 --> 01:05:34.659
eggs. The legs contain very little meat, but

01:05:34.659 --> 01:05:38.369
are pleasantly crunchy, they say. Tarantulas

01:05:38.369 --> 01:05:41.869
became part of the Cambodian diet by necessity

01:05:41.869 --> 01:05:45.210
during the rule of Khmer Rouge when food was

01:05:45.210 --> 01:05:48.170
scarce. That makes sense. There have been. Sure.

01:05:48.210 --> 01:05:50.289
Yeah, that that checks out actually. Starving,

01:05:50.369 --> 01:05:53.150
eat, whatever. Right, right. People were eating

01:05:53.150 --> 01:05:55.070
anything possible to eat and the things that

01:05:55.070 --> 01:05:58.389
were actually tasty. Their quote, not mine. Things

01:05:58.389 --> 01:06:00.809
that were actually tasty like tarantulas stayed

01:06:00.809 --> 01:06:06.050
a part of the Cambodian diet. Damn. Yeah. So

01:06:06.050 --> 01:06:10.340
from necessity to becoming a part of the culture.

01:06:10.860 --> 01:06:13.360
That's crazy. It's very curious. Now I'm not

01:06:13.360 --> 01:06:18.780
one for tarantula. I don't think I would be interested

01:06:18.780 --> 01:06:21.320
in trying one and usually I'm the type of person

01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:24.059
that I'll try just about anything once. I've

01:06:24.059 --> 01:06:27.460
tried I've tried a bunch of different cricket

01:06:27.460 --> 01:06:29.480
products before and you can never taste the crickets.

01:06:29.519 --> 01:06:33.760
It's just added protein really. I've tried worm

01:06:33.760 --> 01:06:37.190
in smoothie before. which was also fine you can't

01:06:37.190 --> 01:06:39.989
taste the worm just added protein and there's

01:06:39.989 --> 01:06:42.349
there's a lot of like hate talk about eating

01:06:42.349 --> 01:06:45.570
bugs and stuff but like how's it different than

01:06:45.570 --> 01:06:48.269
any other meat right yeah oh yeah you process

01:06:48.269 --> 01:06:50.130
it grind it down throw it on something you'll

01:06:50.130 --> 01:06:52.170
never know it's there's just added protein whatever

01:06:52.170 --> 01:06:56.809
the point of that little rant being i don't know

01:06:56.809 --> 01:06:59.869
if i'm adventurous enough to try tarantula yeah

01:06:59.869 --> 01:07:02.389
i don't think i could do it Something about the

01:07:02.389 --> 01:07:05.769
whole gooey on the inside makes me really disgusted

01:07:05.769 --> 01:07:09.369
thinking about it. Yeah. Or the thought of eating

01:07:09.369 --> 01:07:15.329
spider shit and eggs. Just having a bite. Yeah,

01:07:15.849 --> 01:07:20.010
I think... This spider tastes extra fecal today.

01:07:20.590 --> 01:07:24.630
Oh, that's just... Oh, come on. Unnecessary comment.

01:07:26.190 --> 01:07:29.090
This tarantula's the shit. No, really. It is.

01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:33.699
Oh, that's gross. That's gross. Oh, yeah. Do

01:07:33.699 --> 01:07:38.420
we get blessed with a fry guy today? We do get

01:07:38.420 --> 01:07:41.159
blessed with a fry guy. That's beautiful. I'm

01:07:41.159 --> 01:07:47.579
glad you mentioned that because I tried this.

01:07:48.219 --> 01:07:54.320
Oh, gosh. When was it? It was... Was it last

01:07:54.320 --> 01:07:56.940
weekend? I think I was going out to Crown Point.

01:07:57.059 --> 01:08:00.139
I was. I was going out to Crown Point. and I

01:08:00.139 --> 01:08:03.079
had meat and dinner. And I think I even ate a

01:08:03.079 --> 01:08:06.579
light lunch. I think I had a yogurt and something.

01:08:06.719 --> 01:08:09.679
I really just had to eat much that day. So I'm

01:08:09.679 --> 01:08:11.559
on my way and all of a sudden my stomach's like,

01:08:11.659 --> 01:08:16.439
hey, ass. And so I'm like, I like bar food, but

01:08:16.439 --> 01:08:18.939
I'm like, I'll save a couple bucks. And so I

01:08:18.939 --> 01:08:21.220
go into Arby's and I just get one little cheapy

01:08:21.220 --> 01:08:24.239
beef sandwiches and some curly fries. Curly fries,

01:08:24.380 --> 01:08:28.520
okay. Now. A little bit different than your standard

01:08:28.520 --> 01:08:30.359
fry, but like I said, you have to just grade

01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:32.920
them on the whole. Can't sit there and be like

01:08:32.920 --> 01:08:36.199
crinkle and curly and waffle. And seasoned, yeah.

01:08:36.300 --> 01:08:39.260
No, fries are fries. You grade the place on the

01:08:39.260 --> 01:08:44.279
fry. So I had the curly fry. They were hot. They

01:08:44.279 --> 01:08:47.939
were so hot. Just out of the fryer. I honestly

01:08:47.939 --> 01:08:49.539
had to wait like a hot minute. I'm like, wow,

01:08:49.539 --> 01:08:51.819
these are maybe too hot. I'm like, I'm going

01:08:51.819 --> 01:08:55.289
to give these a second to cool down. seasoned

01:08:55.289 --> 01:08:57.770
perfectly. And that's what I love too about the

01:08:57.770 --> 01:09:00.550
Arby's curly fries. You don't have to salt them.

01:09:00.550 --> 01:09:02.109
You don't have to season them at all. They're

01:09:02.109 --> 01:09:07.329
seasoned perfectly. And I love it when they're

01:09:07.329 --> 01:09:10.270
fried properly. So not to the point where they're

01:09:10.270 --> 01:09:12.649
in there too long and they're like too crispy.

01:09:13.670 --> 01:09:17.430
It was perfect. Absolutely perfect. And I've

01:09:17.430 --> 01:09:19.649
always kind of been like that guy. And I know

01:09:19.649 --> 01:09:22.739
Arby's has They used to have wedges or something.

01:09:22.880 --> 01:09:25.199
I know they've got crinkle now, I think, or something.

01:09:26.380 --> 01:09:28.359
But I never, I like, I always got the curlies.

01:09:28.460 --> 01:09:31.239
I'm like, nah, that's the shit. And when they

01:09:31.239 --> 01:09:34.399
cook them right, it is, it's up there. It is

01:09:34.399 --> 01:09:39.140
definitely up there. I enjoyed it. Taste. Hot.

01:09:39.780 --> 01:09:42.479
I love the seasoned curly fries. They sell them

01:09:42.479 --> 01:09:44.640
in stores now. They sell them frozen in stores.

01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:48.640
Yep, you can get them. And honestly, they do

01:09:48.640 --> 01:09:51.100
them justice. I've had those and put them in

01:09:51.100 --> 01:09:53.300
the oven before, and they're pretty damn close

01:09:53.300 --> 01:09:58.840
to what you get out of the fryer there. Oh, man.

01:10:00.340 --> 01:10:02.720
I am on offense with where I want to put it.

01:10:02.779 --> 01:10:06.680
Oh, OK. That's usually a good sign. I'm on offense.

01:10:07.239 --> 01:10:11.800
I can't. I can't put it in the rarefied air.

01:10:12.140 --> 01:10:17.420
Sure. But we're talking a strong score. I'm going

01:10:17.420 --> 01:10:20.819
to say 8 .8 out of 10. That's beautiful. I think

01:10:20.819 --> 01:10:26.039
that's fair. Yeah. And you have to, as we said

01:10:26.039 --> 01:10:28.079
when we started doing this, you have to grade

01:10:28.079 --> 01:10:30.500
on the fry that you get. As you received them,

01:10:30.500 --> 01:10:32.159
right. Right. Because you go to Arby's, you go

01:10:32.159 --> 01:10:34.119
to McDonald's, you go to Wendy's. If you're going

01:10:34.119 --> 01:10:36.579
over the whole aggregate, it's different than

01:10:36.579 --> 01:10:38.899
if I just roll up to McDonald's and I get some

01:10:38.899 --> 01:10:40.819
cold fries. Right. That's true. I got to rate

01:10:40.819 --> 01:10:43.699
it for what it is. Yeah. And so Arby's, you did

01:10:43.699 --> 01:10:45.979
good. 8 .8 out of 10. Was Arby's and Crown Point,

01:10:46.060 --> 01:10:49.140
you did real good. Excellent fries. Excellent.

01:10:49.319 --> 01:10:51.479
That's beautiful. I'm glad we got another Fry

01:10:51.479 --> 01:10:56.899
Guy Fry review. That is true. And we've got many

01:10:56.899 --> 01:10:59.159
more coming in. As I said, it's not necessarily

01:10:59.159 --> 01:11:00.979
we're going to do all fast food or anything.

01:11:01.399 --> 01:11:03.520
Like if a restaurant has fries, I'm going to

01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:05.300
try them. And I'm going to try them. And I'm

01:11:05.300 --> 01:11:06.779
going to grade them. And that's what we're going

01:11:06.779 --> 01:11:10.239
to do. Damn right. Hell yeah. All right. Well,

01:11:10.260 --> 01:11:11.979
that was this week's Fry Guy and the other foods.

01:11:12.159 --> 01:11:13.399
We're going to take a quick break. When we come

01:11:13.399 --> 01:11:26.960
back, you just made the list. All right, we are

01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:29.819

01:11:45.140 --> 01:11:48.159
rules. Oh shit, looks like we got one. Oh no.

01:11:48.260 --> 01:11:51.909
No rules. Oh, thank God. Yeah. Yeah, I know I

01:11:51.909 --> 01:11:54.109
worried you a little bit there. Just kind of

01:11:54.109 --> 01:11:57.109
with the overall temperature of the show, I mean,

01:11:57.210 --> 01:12:02.689
I get it. I get your anxiety. Yeah. But yeah.

01:12:02.770 --> 01:12:05.250
Got me all worried. No, no, no. We're good. We're

01:12:05.250 --> 01:12:09.210
good. No rules, baby. So this week, favorite

01:12:09.210 --> 01:12:12.890
rock bands. I know how broad that is, because

01:12:12.890 --> 01:12:17.960
there's a gazillion different rock genres. But

01:12:17.960 --> 01:12:19.899
ultimately this is what you like listening to

01:12:19.899 --> 01:12:22.460
or what you like listening to now because we've

01:12:22.460 --> 01:12:27.220

01:12:27.220 --> 01:12:29.760
on this one. I do have an honorable mention I

01:12:29.760 --> 01:12:32.060
could have had for those of you that have listened

hell and so we often refer to that When it's

01:12:58.279 --> 01:13:00.640
like we get a topic and we're like right because

01:13:00.640 --> 01:13:02.439

healthy, Dave. Hope you're doing well. Both good.

01:13:51.630 --> 01:13:54.069
Number 9, 21 Pilots. They've kind of shot up

01:13:54.069 --> 01:13:57.470
the list over the years. And I told people, because

01:13:57.470 --> 01:13:59.229
I had a rock block on my radio show a few weeks

01:13:59.229 --> 01:14:02.289
back, and I said, you know, I really hadn't listened

01:14:02.289 --> 01:14:04.729
to them a lot. I had a friend who listened to

01:14:04.729 --> 01:14:06.789
them, went to their shows or whatever, and kind

01:14:06.789 --> 01:14:08.789
of turned me on to them. And I just remembered

01:14:08.789 --> 01:14:11.890
years back when they started, the kids would

01:14:11.890 --> 01:14:14.689
listen to a couple of their songs. So I knew

01:14:14.689 --> 01:14:17.029
they existed, but I was just like, eh, all right.

01:14:17.149 --> 01:14:18.489
But then I started getting into alt rock and

see them in september i can't Wait, I'm so excited.

01:15:06.520 --> 01:15:08.640
Number three, Tesla, one of the best bluesy hard

01:15:08.640 --> 01:15:12.279
rock bands, maybe of all time, vastly underrated.

01:15:12.859 --> 01:15:16.880
Number two, Led Zeppelin. Nice. Been dazed and

01:15:16.880 --> 01:15:20.899
confused for so long, it's not true. I don't

01:15:20.899 --> 01:15:22.939
want Robert coming at me, man. Can't get content

01:15:22.939 --> 01:15:25.119
matched. Jimmy Page knocking on my door. Is that

01:15:25.119 --> 01:15:27.439
ice? No, it's Jimmy Page. Oh shit. Oh shit, that's

01:15:27.439 --> 01:15:29.579
worse. That's worse. He's gonna get me. Yeah,

01:15:29.579 --> 01:15:32.479
he's gonna cast a spell, some shit. All right,

01:15:32.520 --> 01:15:34.119
what's your top 10? All right, I went a little

01:15:34.119 --> 01:15:37.579
bit of a different route. I saw best rock bands.

01:15:38.560 --> 01:15:42.520
And in my brain, I eliminated heavy metal. Oh

01:15:42.520 --> 01:15:45.739
shit. I eliminated like new wave of British heavy

01:15:45.739 --> 01:15:48.399
metal, thrash metal. I just went rock, alt rock.

01:15:48.640 --> 01:15:53.460
So, I would have added some of those bands you

01:15:53.460 --> 01:15:55.979
had on your list, but I eliminated metal, just

01:15:55.979 --> 01:15:59.600
went rock. Honorable Mentions, Highly Suspect,

01:15:59.960 --> 01:16:03.699
Dropkick Murphy, Weezer, Red Hot Chili Peppers,

01:16:04.039 --> 01:16:07.920
Royal Blood, Chevelle, Alt J, Flogging Molly,

01:16:08.279 --> 01:16:12.199
and Mother Mother. All great. Yes. Now the top

01:16:12.199 --> 01:16:14.260
ten. Well, ten through two. Got to save the number

01:16:14.260 --> 01:16:17.819
one. That's right. Number ten, Peach Pit. Fantastic.

01:16:18.489 --> 01:16:20.449
alt -rock band, really like them. Number nine,

01:16:20.590 --> 01:16:25.250
21 Pilots as well. Oh yeah. Yeah. Twinsies. Twinsies.

01:16:25.369 --> 01:16:29.409
Number eight, Nirvana. Number seven, the Gorillaz.

01:16:29.670 --> 01:16:32.750
Number six, I had Glass Animals. Five, Linkin

01:16:32.750 --> 01:16:36.649
Park. Four, I had Alice in Chains. Ooh, god damn

01:16:36.649 --> 01:16:40.109
it. Yeah. Three, I had Arctic Monkeys. And then

01:16:40.109 --> 01:16:43.569
my number two was Stone Temple Pilots. That's

01:16:43.569 --> 01:16:46.949
good. Yeah. That's good. See, once again, I'm

01:16:46.949 --> 01:16:49.409
not on purpose. I excluded the entire grunge

01:16:49.409 --> 01:16:55.569
scene. Oh, sure. Because I definitely would have

01:16:55.569 --> 01:16:58.750
had Alice in Chains on there. Yeah. And definitely

01:16:58.750 --> 01:17:00.590
would have had Soundgarden on there. Oh, there

01:17:00.590 --> 01:17:02.970
you go. Right. Damn. Yeah. All right. That's

01:17:02.970 --> 01:17:05.270
OK. That's fine. It's fine. It just leaves more

01:17:05.270 --> 01:17:08.130
future lists. It does. It really does. It's beautiful.

01:17:08.630 --> 01:17:12.569
It's beautiful. All right. My number one. Run

01:17:12.569 --> 01:17:16.449
to the hills, run for your life. Iron Maiden.

01:17:16.729 --> 01:17:21.729
My man. I've seen them live 11 times, 12, something

01:17:21.729 --> 01:17:23.729
like that. Gotta bump up those numbers, man.

01:17:23.770 --> 01:17:25.250
Gotta bump up those numbers, man. They're coming

01:17:25.250 --> 01:17:29.250
back, you gotta do it. What a great band. Remarkable.

01:17:29.569 --> 01:17:31.949
Maybe, we're talking all genres, maybe one of

01:17:31.949 --> 01:17:35.829
the best bands of all time in terms of... their

01:17:35.829 --> 01:17:38.890
lyrics, in terms of their musicianship, in terms

01:17:38.890 --> 01:17:42.329
of their live shows, their visuals. You got a

01:17:42.329 --> 01:17:45.529
mascot. Right. You name it, it's maybe the most

01:17:45.529 --> 01:17:48.710
perfect band. And I love them, man. They're great.

01:17:48.890 --> 01:17:51.050
Yes. They're great. That is fantastic. Well,

01:17:51.189 --> 01:17:55.909
should I have included metal into my rock list,

01:17:55.930 --> 01:17:57.569
they definitely would have been near the top

01:17:57.569 --> 01:18:01.710
as well. My number one, though, excluding metal,

01:18:01.869 --> 01:18:05.739
is Green Day. Ah, yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yeah, they're

01:18:05.739 --> 01:18:07.100
going to be at Ride Fest too. I think they're

01:18:07.100 --> 01:18:10.420
going to be on Sunday. Oh. So I won't get to

01:18:10.420 --> 01:18:12.600
see those when I go on Saturday. Dastardly Devils.

01:18:12.979 --> 01:18:14.979
Yeah, the Sunday lineup was kind of weak. And

01:18:14.979 --> 01:18:17.180
it was just like, if you're paying all that money,

01:18:18.000 --> 01:18:20.979
for me, I want to get the most bang for the buck.

01:18:21.100 --> 01:18:24.520
Sure. If I can go and be like, OK, there's four

01:18:24.520 --> 01:18:26.840
or five bands I really want to see, to me, that's

01:18:26.840 --> 01:18:29.720
value. Yep. And then like Green Day is like Green

01:18:29.720 --> 01:18:32.970
Day. And there's not a whole lot else on that

01:18:32.970 --> 01:18:34.609
bill I want to see. It's like, well, shit, I'll

01:18:34.609 --> 01:18:36.449
just wait till I come back down. Right. That's

01:18:36.449 --> 01:18:40.250
fair. To do that. And I think Friday was kind

01:18:40.250 --> 01:18:44.250
of the same way. A lot of really obscure bands,

01:18:44.449 --> 01:18:46.270
like Weird Al was on there. I'm sure Weird Al

01:18:46.270 --> 01:18:47.829
would be a blast. Oh, that'd be so cool. Yeah.

01:18:47.829 --> 01:18:50.869
I think that would be fun. But Saturday's got

01:18:50.869 --> 01:18:54.310
the bill. They definitely have the bill and looking

01:18:54.310 --> 01:18:57.029
forward to seeing Dropkick, looking forward to

01:18:57.029 --> 01:19:01.810
seeing Weezer, The Damned, Jack White. Say AJR

01:19:01.810 --> 01:19:03.890
was going to be there. AJR is going to be there.

01:19:04.029 --> 01:19:07.090
Yeah, there's a lot of bands. That's solid. So

01:19:07.090 --> 01:19:09.750
I'm pretty psyched for Saturday. Hell yeah. The

01:19:09.750 --> 01:19:13.470
Beach Boys. Right. The Beach Boys. Who cares?

01:19:13.510 --> 01:19:15.869
Right. I don't even know if any original members

01:19:15.869 --> 01:19:19.359
are still live. Oh yeah. They're gonna be there.

01:19:19.500 --> 01:19:22.300
The band lives on. Yeah. Oh yeah, why not? Shit,

01:19:22.479 --> 01:19:24.420
I'm all for it. We're gonna get the band back

01:19:24.420 --> 01:19:26.840
together. Oh, and Marky Ramone, he's gonna do

01:19:26.840 --> 01:19:28.739
all the Ramone songs. Oh, that's cool. That could

01:19:28.739 --> 01:19:30.979
have been on this list too. Yeah, right. But

01:19:30.979 --> 01:19:33.739
yeah, so it's excellent. I'm looking forward

01:19:33.739 --> 01:19:36.939
to it. Wicked. No doubt. That's righteous. And

01:19:36.939 --> 01:19:39.800
as always, we missed a band, you know, you guys

01:19:39.800 --> 01:19:42.760
are free to hit us up on socials, DMs, whatever,

01:19:43.359 --> 01:19:46.220
and let us know. Yeah, absolutely. And let us

01:19:46.220 --> 01:19:49.439
know how you took the genre of rock, because

01:19:49.439 --> 01:19:52.880
it is so wide. All encompassing. All encompassing.

01:19:52.880 --> 01:19:56.159
It really is. It's about time for a review preview.

01:19:56.340 --> 01:19:58.840
I have a magazine article that I write. It's

01:19:58.840 --> 01:20:01.859
a review movie, preview movie coming up. And

01:20:01.859 --> 01:20:05.380
I kind of thought, hey, why not? put that in

01:20:05.380 --> 01:20:07.340
our podcast as well. Right. We've been doing

01:20:07.340 --> 01:20:09.420
it actually was in the radio show and then we

01:20:09.420 --> 01:20:12.479
kind of kept it on as one of our segments. So

01:20:12.479 --> 01:20:16.359
the other night I went to see a movie and I wasn't

01:20:16.359 --> 01:20:20.180
sure like I've seen movies about race cars before.

01:20:20.439 --> 01:20:23.279
Now I'm a sports guy maybe not as big of one

01:20:23.279 --> 01:20:26.239
as I used to be but you know it's baseball and

01:20:26.239 --> 01:20:29.989
football and that kind of stuff. Racing never

01:20:29.989 --> 01:20:34.029
really did anything for me necessarily when I

01:20:34.029 --> 01:20:36.470
turned down in field past the Daytona 500 Helmo

01:20:36.470 --> 01:20:39.409
I would go it's a party man. It's a party, right?

01:20:39.710 --> 01:20:42.430
I'm all about the party It sounds like fun, but

01:20:42.430 --> 01:20:44.369
as far as like, you know round and round and

01:20:44.369 --> 01:20:46.109
round and round around It's like nobody was a

01:20:46.109 --> 01:20:47.890
route for a crash because somebody could freaking

01:20:47.890 --> 01:20:50.250
die. I mean, right twisted Do you have to be

01:20:50.250 --> 01:20:52.750
for that? Yeah, like it's just round and round

01:20:52.750 --> 01:20:54.510
and round and round. They're going so damn fast

01:20:54.510 --> 01:20:56.970
It's just like I don't know and it's some people

01:20:56.970 --> 01:21:01.500
are so just like A number 44, a number 24, Jeff

01:21:01.500 --> 01:21:03.880
Gordon, woo -wee! I mean, I'm not that guy either.

01:21:04.060 --> 01:21:06.220
You know, where you're just like, oh man, I cheer

01:21:06.220 --> 01:21:09.079
for this driver, and it's like... All right.

01:21:09.260 --> 01:21:10.939
I'll stand on the side of the Dan Ryan Highway

01:21:10.939 --> 01:21:14.840
in Chicago and be like, woo, go White Ford Bronco.

01:21:14.859 --> 01:21:18.520
Oh, no. Can't do that. Ah, it's good. Can't do

01:21:18.520 --> 01:21:22.199
that. Oh, man. Woo, anyway. Got to wake up early

01:21:22.199 --> 01:21:26.359
in the morning to get OJ past me. For sure. The

01:21:26.359 --> 01:21:29.779
movie reviewing is F1. So in the 90s, Sonny Hayes

01:21:29.779 --> 01:21:32.000
was a Formula One's most promising driver until

01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:34.699
an accident on the track nearly not only ended

01:21:34.699 --> 01:21:36.760
his career, almost killed him. 30 years later,

01:21:36.779 --> 01:21:39.239
the owner of a struggling Formula One team convinces

01:21:39.239 --> 01:21:42.560
Sunny to return to racing and become the best

01:21:42.560 --> 01:21:49.300
in the world. You can't be CM Punk. At any rate,

01:21:49.960 --> 01:21:51.600
driving alongside the team's hotshot rookie,

01:21:51.819 --> 01:21:54.000
Sonny soon learns that the road to redemption

01:21:54.000 --> 01:21:56.260
is not something you can travel alone. This film

01:21:56.260 --> 01:21:59.079
was fast -paced and exciting. I sat on the edge

01:21:59.079 --> 01:22:01.840
of my seat multiple times. I was not planning

01:22:01.840 --> 01:22:04.720
on it. I went late. I stayed awake for the whole

01:22:04.720 --> 01:22:06.739
movie. Nice. For anybody that knows me, that

01:22:06.739 --> 01:22:08.460
is a hell of an accomplishment. It's a task.

01:22:08.640 --> 01:22:10.640
Especially with those reclining seats. Man. Get

01:22:10.640 --> 01:22:13.199
out of here, man. If it's a slow movie, I'm done.

01:22:13.220 --> 01:22:16.039
Oh yeah. I am taking a nap. Snoozing. I was snoozing

01:22:16.039 --> 01:22:20.180
big time. I love that all the characters in this

01:22:20.180 --> 01:22:23.939
film were deeply flawed. None of these characters

01:22:23.939 --> 01:22:27.399
were perfect. They all had baggage. I love that.

01:22:28.439 --> 01:22:32.220
It's very human. Brad Pitt was excellent in this

01:22:32.220 --> 01:22:34.180
film. Some of the best acting he's done in some

01:22:34.180 --> 01:22:37.479
time. He did 12 Monkeys and he's done a lot of

01:22:37.479 --> 01:22:41.420
really good movies. This was fantastic. I enjoyed

01:22:41.420 --> 01:22:45.310
the film from front to back. And I give it 8

01:22:45.310 --> 01:22:48.229
.5 out of 10. Nice. That's a good score. It was

01:22:48.229 --> 01:22:50.210
really good. Yeah. It was really good. And some

01:22:50.210 --> 01:22:53.449
people are saying the way this film was done,

01:22:54.170 --> 01:23:01.229
that they want to do a collab and have Brad Pitt's

01:23:01.229 --> 01:23:05.869
Sonny Hayes go up against Tom Cruise's guy from

01:23:05.869 --> 01:23:08.409
Days of Thunder. Oh, no shit. And do some sort

01:23:08.409 --> 01:23:12.420
of like combo movie there with two... Quote -unquote

01:23:12.420 --> 01:23:15.699
washed up drivers right right so if they if they

01:23:15.699 --> 01:23:18.119
kind of do something that would be that's awesome

01:23:18.119 --> 01:23:20.539
That'd be very cool, so you know what's not gonna

01:23:20.539 --> 01:23:23.840
happen, but could be funny. What's that? Oh?

01:23:24.199 --> 01:23:25.840
I know what you're about to say go ahead Ricky

01:23:25.840 --> 01:23:33.979
Bobby in there My fire Just as a cameo, baby.

01:23:34.199 --> 01:23:38.960
Oh my god that would that's all I'm saying Tastic

01:23:38.960 --> 01:23:44.960
that's all I'm saying shake and bake Oh, man.

01:23:45.140 --> 01:23:48.800
I love that. Yeah. The one I'm previewing is

01:23:48.800 --> 01:23:52.840
The Naked Gun. Now, I am a huge Leslie Nielsen

01:23:52.840 --> 01:23:57.680
fan. I would probably, if we're talking comics

01:23:57.680 --> 01:24:00.520
or comedians like all time, he's definitely on

01:24:00.520 --> 01:24:03.079
that list. Yes. Without a doubt. I agree. Airplane.

01:24:03.220 --> 01:24:05.640
Oh, my god. So many great movies. Classic. The

01:24:05.640 --> 01:24:09.189
Naked Guns are great. Just that. tongue -in -cheek

01:24:09.189 --> 01:24:11.609
humor, just that the humor makes you roll your

01:24:11.609 --> 01:24:15.949
eyes, but you laugh anyway. That's him. So the

01:24:15.949 --> 01:24:19.569
upcoming American action comedy film directed

01:24:19.569 --> 01:24:23.649
by Akiva Schaeffer, who co -wrote the script

01:24:23.649 --> 01:24:26.729
with Dan Greger and Doug Mand, following in the

01:24:26.729 --> 01:24:29.329
footsteps of his bumbling father, Detective Frank

01:24:29.329 --> 01:24:32.609
Drebin. Frank Drebin Jr., played by Liam Neeson,

01:24:32.909 --> 01:24:35.590
must solve a murder case to prevent the police

01:24:35.590 --> 01:24:38.180
department from shutting down. The Naked Gun

01:24:38.180 --> 01:24:41.039
hits theaters August 1st. It looks really fun.

01:24:41.699 --> 01:24:46.239
Childish Gambino, who the actual actor's name

01:24:46.239 --> 01:24:51.729
is Donald Glover. He is OJ's son. That's awesome.

01:24:51.810 --> 01:24:54.270
And there's a preview where there's like this

01:24:54.270 --> 01:24:57.729
hall of all the guys and they're no longer living

01:24:57.729 --> 01:25:00.149
or whatever. And so they go in there and they're

01:25:00.149 --> 01:25:02.890
all like, oh dad, I don't want to make you proud.

01:25:03.430 --> 01:25:07.590
And like Liam Neeson, he's at the foot of Frank

01:25:07.590 --> 01:25:09.989
Draben and then the George Kennedy character,

01:25:10.170 --> 01:25:12.750
like his son is there. And then they show the

01:25:12.750 --> 01:25:17.239
picture of OJ. And then they pan to Donald Glover's

01:25:17.239 --> 01:25:20.140
face, and he just shakes his head no. Just like,

01:25:20.140 --> 01:25:24.359
nope. Oh, it's so good. So hopefully, based on

01:25:24.359 --> 01:25:26.399
that scene, I'm like, OK, it could be funny.

01:25:26.420 --> 01:25:29.479
And I think Seth MacFarlane is involved too.

01:25:30.960 --> 01:25:31.920
So that could be good. Get some good laughs in

01:25:31.920 --> 01:25:35.680
there. Yeah, that's awesome. So before we hit

01:25:35.680 --> 01:25:39.640
up our final break, while we're sleeping, and

01:25:39.640 --> 01:25:42.340
I haven't been sleeping much lately because my

01:25:42.340 --> 01:25:44.500
air conditioning is in the living room. gets

01:25:44.500 --> 01:25:47.119
hot in the back of the house, so I've been sleeping

01:25:47.119 --> 01:25:49.159
on the couch, which means I really haven't been

01:25:49.159 --> 01:25:53.939
sleeping. Right. So, but when we do sleep, Aidan's

01:25:53.939 --> 01:25:57.079
on this shit. I gotcha. So whether it's gaming,

01:25:57.479 --> 01:25:59.760
movies, a TV show, something on YouTube, whatever,

01:26:00.279 --> 01:26:03.760
that we seem to have missed, this dude, he's

01:26:03.760 --> 01:26:06.819
gonna find it. Mm -hmm. What did we miss? Well,

01:26:06.840 --> 01:26:09.819
while you were sleeping, one of my favorite shows

01:26:09.819 --> 01:26:15.590
of all time is back. Oh. Criminal Minds Evolution.

01:26:16.170 --> 01:26:19.649
Oh, okay. Is the show that people missed while

01:26:19.649 --> 01:26:22.970
they were sleeping. I think it does decent numbers,

01:26:23.069 --> 01:26:25.529
but it's like streaming exclusive, right? So

01:26:25.529 --> 01:26:28.390
you need like the Paramount Plus thing, so not

01:26:28.390 --> 01:26:30.630
everyone can see it, and I know most people don't

01:26:30.630 --> 01:26:33.170
want another streaming service if they don't

01:26:33.170 --> 01:26:37.609
already have it, but it is phenomenal. It picks

01:26:37.609 --> 01:26:40.840
up... Like the timeline is perfect right because

01:26:40.840 --> 01:26:43.840
the the last or the original criminal minds and

01:26:43.840 --> 01:26:48.859
did I think in the mid to late 2010s and Then

01:26:48.859 --> 01:26:53.000
this show picks up kind of in today's era like

01:26:53.000 --> 01:26:57.859
the post -covid modern media technology era and

01:26:57.859 --> 01:27:02.239
it's Awesome. It's awesome. Now the main the

01:27:02.239 --> 01:27:04.739
main guy isn't he was in the other one right

01:27:04.739 --> 01:27:07.560
Joe Montaner. Whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's

01:27:07.560 --> 01:27:13.760
in it most of the cast is back and Yeah, like

01:27:13.760 --> 01:27:16.399
the overview for anyone unfamiliar with criminal

01:27:16.399 --> 01:27:20.840
minds as a whole An elite squad of FBI profilers

01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:23.859
analyzes the country's most twisted criminal

01:27:23.859 --> 01:27:27.880
minds I get it. Let's leave the show. That's

01:27:27.880 --> 01:27:30.840
good anticipating the perpetrators next moves

01:27:30.840 --> 01:27:34.460
before they can strike again Each member of this

01:27:34.460 --> 01:27:37.199
quote unquote mind hunter team brings their own

01:27:37.199 --> 01:27:40.260
expertise to pinpoint the predators motivations

01:27:40.260 --> 01:27:43.100
and identify emotional triggers to stop them.

01:27:43.600 --> 01:27:49.619
So it's fascinating because it's it's like scientific

01:27:49.619 --> 01:27:55.640
analysis. Yep. Of these perpetrators these criminals

01:27:55.640 --> 01:27:59.680
from. like a profiling standpoint, and not the

01:27:59.680 --> 01:28:02.399
profiling we're used to here in America with

01:28:02.399 --> 01:28:08.060
police, but like profiling as in like the victimology,

01:28:08.680 --> 01:28:11.159
their actions, behaviors, signatures, things

01:28:11.159 --> 01:28:14.460
like that, which is why it's called like the

01:28:14.460 --> 01:28:17.479
behavioral analysis unit, because that's what

01:28:17.479 --> 01:28:20.279
they analyze. That's what they analyze to find

01:28:20.279 --> 01:28:23.449
these bad people. And in the most recent seasons,

01:28:23.789 --> 01:28:26.329
it's still, I think there was a new episode yesterday,

01:28:26.489 --> 01:28:30.210
two days ago for you lovely listeners, like it's

01:28:30.210 --> 01:28:34.689
ongoing and it's fantastic because it deals with

01:28:34.689 --> 01:28:37.689
like the politics of working in the FBI, of how

01:28:37.689 --> 01:28:41.090
it's kind of all intertwined with senators and

01:28:41.090 --> 01:28:44.569
the president and the press and everything. On

01:28:44.569 --> 01:28:48.250
top of, hey, all this crazy shit's going on around

01:28:48.250 --> 01:28:52.939
them, like intergovernmental Bullshittery oh

01:28:52.939 --> 01:28:54.520
for sure, but then they still have to go out

01:28:54.520 --> 01:28:57.140
and catch these terrible criminals. It's such

01:28:57.140 --> 01:28:59.979
a fun watch It's really fantastic so for anyone

01:28:59.979 --> 01:29:04.420
interested in that type of TV show If you don't

01:29:04.420 --> 01:29:06.859
have paramount plus I find a way to torrent it

01:29:06.859 --> 01:29:10.840
or something sure yeah, I mean shit like I've

01:29:10.840 --> 01:29:14.100
uh I've I've flown the old pirate flag a couple

01:29:14.100 --> 01:29:17.180
times in my day, but yeah, it's it's fantastic

01:29:17.180 --> 01:29:20.699
and would highly recommend Awesome. All right.

01:29:20.800 --> 01:29:24.020
Well, that's that's a that's a good one. I honestly

01:29:24.020 --> 01:29:26.659
I didn't know that show existed I mean, I know

01:29:26.659 --> 01:29:29.659
criminal minds did yes, but not this version

01:29:29.659 --> 01:29:32.859
of it. Yeah, I have to check that is very original.

01:29:32.899 --> 01:29:35.979
Oh, yeah Yeah, and if you know how the story

01:29:35.979 --> 01:29:39.439
kind of wrapped in the final Network TV series

01:29:39.439 --> 01:29:42.420
and where it picks up today. It's it's very cool

01:29:42.649 --> 01:29:45.890
Oh, all right. Yeah. Okay, good teaser. All right.

01:29:45.989 --> 01:29:47.630
Well, go out and watch it folks. Damn right.

01:29:47.930 --> 01:29:50.250
For sure. We're gonna take a quick break. We

01:29:50.250 --> 01:29:53.430
come back. We've got our beer review and a very

01:29:53.430 --> 01:30:15.560
special tier listing. All right, we are back

01:30:15.560 --> 01:30:18.920
for the home stretch of our season two finale,

01:30:19.539 --> 01:30:22.520
episode 10. Mark Mosho podcast. I'm Mark Maloney

01:30:22.520 --> 01:30:26.319
along with Aidan Maloney. And it is now time

01:30:26.319 --> 01:30:30.159
for the beer review. The official beer review.

01:30:30.340 --> 01:30:34.020
That's right. All other beer reviews pale in

01:30:34.020 --> 01:30:36.800
comparison. End of sentence. End of sentence,

01:30:36.960 --> 01:30:39.979
yeah. This is it. This is not as good as this

01:30:39.979 --> 01:30:42.819
one. A fair comment, yeah. Yeah, no doubt. So

01:30:42.819 --> 01:30:49.359
yeah, each week we review a beer. Then this week,

01:30:49.520 --> 01:30:52.800
we're actually doing a hard cider. Oh, fancy

01:30:52.800 --> 01:30:55.640
that. Yeah, definitely. So what do we have this

01:30:55.640 --> 01:30:58.739
week, Aidan? This week we've got Wicked Grove

01:30:58.739 --> 01:31:02.180
Cidery is who produces this. It's an Imperial

01:31:02.180 --> 01:31:06.109
hard cider, black cherry. hard cider. So it's

01:31:06.109 --> 01:31:09.329
apple and black cherry. I believe Wicked Grove

01:31:09.329 --> 01:31:14.590
is exclusive to Aldi. I'm not entirely sure.

01:31:15.050 --> 01:31:17.750
But it's a cidery out of Middlebury, Vermont.

01:31:18.529 --> 01:31:20.770
Vermont seems to have lots of apples, which is

01:31:20.770 --> 01:31:24.050
fantastic for them. And even better for us, really.

01:31:24.510 --> 01:31:27.750
But it seems pretty popular. The average rating

01:31:27.750 --> 01:31:31.829
is a 3 .6 out of 5 from Everyone who checked

01:31:31.829 --> 01:31:35.550
into it which we will be doing as well 8 % ABV.

01:31:35.829 --> 01:31:40.510
So a little little more saucy than your typical

01:31:40.510 --> 01:31:44.369
Angry orchard or reds ale or anything like that.

01:31:44.369 --> 01:31:48.329
Yeah, so we will be sampling this today and telling

01:31:48.329 --> 01:31:51.949
you on a scale from 0 to 5 What we think of it

01:31:51.949 --> 01:31:56.210
and also give tasting notes as we do indeed So

01:31:56.210 --> 01:31:59.210
slantcha and let us know in the comments what

01:31:59.210 --> 01:32:03.699
you are enjoying at home Ooh. Oh, that's super

01:32:03.699 --> 01:32:08.300
nice. Just slight carbonation to it. Just enough.

01:32:08.720 --> 01:32:12.840
Just enough, yeah. The cherry, I will say, it's

01:32:12.840 --> 01:32:15.800
less of a black cherry to me. It's more of a

01:32:15.800 --> 01:32:18.060
tart cherry. I think so too. Yeah, I definitely

01:32:18.060 --> 01:32:20.899
get more tart cherry on that. I'm not sure what

01:32:20.899 --> 01:32:23.020
type of apples they used, but it could be the

01:32:23.020 --> 01:32:25.699
tartness of the apple itself making me think

01:32:25.699 --> 01:32:28.699
that. That's probably the case, to be completely

01:32:28.699 --> 01:32:31.890
honest. Yeah. But that is really nice. That's

01:32:31.890 --> 01:32:35.329
super refreshing. And you cannot tell. You cannot

01:32:35.329 --> 01:32:39.350
tell that it's 8%. Oh gosh, no. No. This, this

01:32:39.350 --> 01:32:41.210
would get in trouble. This would get you in trouble

01:32:41.210 --> 01:32:44.569
for sure. I really enjoy this. As far as ciders

01:32:44.569 --> 01:32:48.210
go, and typically I... I don't like ciders that

01:32:48.210 --> 01:32:51.430
are very sweet. You know, so like Red's Apple

01:32:51.430 --> 01:32:55.050
Ale, which I guess is a... Technically a beer

01:32:55.050 --> 01:32:57.670
just with apple in it not necessarily a cider

01:32:57.670 --> 01:33:01.329
per se but that I always found a little too sweet

01:33:01.329 --> 01:33:05.770
Whereas like this this is like the perfect combination

01:33:05.770 --> 01:33:10.350
of like tart cherry apple Without being like

01:33:10.350 --> 01:33:13.710
in your face sugary. Yeah, it's not overly sugary.

01:33:13.710 --> 01:33:16.510
I would agree with that. I really like this It

01:33:16.510 --> 01:33:20.210
is good. I tend to get more apple, because when

01:33:20.210 --> 01:33:22.670
you first mentioned like the tart cherry, I was

01:33:22.670 --> 01:33:24.949
like, nah, I don't think that's it. And I think

01:33:24.949 --> 01:33:28.270
it's really more of the whatever apple they used

01:33:28.270 --> 01:33:31.729
in this particular site. Yeah. I think is that

01:33:31.729 --> 01:33:34.409
flavor. Yeah. It's almost Granny Smith -esque.

01:33:34.590 --> 01:33:38.029
Yeah. With that tartness. Yeah. That's dead on.

01:33:39.270 --> 01:33:41.630
Huh. I really like that. Yeah. Well, we're using

01:33:41.630 --> 01:33:45.189
our app here. The untapped app. Not sponsored,

01:33:45.250 --> 01:33:48.420
but... It's free, so we recommend it. Yeah, absolutely.

01:33:48.659 --> 01:33:51.819
For anyone sampling brewskis out there. I really

01:33:51.819 --> 01:33:55.180
like it. I'm torn. I'm kind of like how you were

01:33:55.180 --> 01:33:57.539
with the Arby's french fries. Ah, I see. I'm

01:33:57.539 --> 01:33:59.859
kind of on a fence here of where I want to put

01:33:59.859 --> 01:34:03.220
it. And I think I'm going to do it. I think I'm

01:34:03.220 --> 01:34:04.800
going to do it. Are you going to do it? It's

01:34:04.800 --> 01:34:06.460
going up into the four range. It's getting a

01:34:06.460 --> 01:34:11.680
4 .0 out of five. Wow. I really enjoy that. Yeah,

01:34:11.739 --> 01:34:15.239
I enjoyed it too. There's flavor profiles here.

01:34:15.449 --> 01:34:20.649
that they give you in grade. Sweet is on there.

01:34:20.710 --> 01:34:23.970
I'm not getting overly sweet though. No, I didn't

01:34:23.970 --> 01:34:26.470
agree with that one either. So the two on here

01:34:26.470 --> 01:34:30.630
that I'm doing, I'm doing... Oh, okay. We're

01:34:30.630 --> 01:34:33.050
all learning together, folks. You can apparently

01:34:33.050 --> 01:34:37.289
add a whole bunch of other flavor. Wow. There's

01:34:37.289 --> 01:34:40.170
a lot. There's a lot on here. So it's just the

01:34:40.170 --> 01:34:43.670
top five, but you can pick a lot. That's very

01:34:43.670 --> 01:34:46.090
interesting. Yes. I'm just going with Tartan

01:34:46.090 --> 01:34:49.210
Apple. Those are like the two most prevalent

01:34:49.210 --> 01:34:56.529
to me on this one. I am going to give it a 3

01:34:56.529 --> 01:35:01.430
.75. 3 .75, nice. Just below the four. I like

01:35:01.430 --> 01:35:05.729
it. It's very clean. It's very crisp. Doesn't

01:35:05.729 --> 01:35:08.590
stay on the tongue. I envision this, if you're

01:35:08.590 --> 01:35:11.430
looking for a nice summer drink, you know, coming

01:35:11.430 --> 01:35:13.850
in, working in the yard, you come in, pull this

01:35:13.850 --> 01:35:16.449
out of the fridge, I don't think you would be

01:35:16.449 --> 01:35:18.989
disappointed at all. Right. I completely agree.

01:35:20.189 --> 01:35:25.250
Yeah, so... Very tasty. Oh, no doubt. Yeah, that

01:35:25.250 --> 01:35:29.789
Imperial hard cider black cherry. It does say

01:35:29.789 --> 01:35:33.449
bold black cherry on the can. It does. And I

01:35:33.449 --> 01:35:36.060
think that's one point I do disagree with. Because

01:35:36.060 --> 01:35:38.100
it's not it's not overly bold. Yeah, it's not

01:35:38.100 --> 01:35:41.439
boldly black cherry at all Yeah, they're like

01:35:41.439 --> 01:35:44.819
the black cherry. I get a hint. Yeah of it. I'm

01:35:44.819 --> 01:35:47.199
still getting more of the apple Yeah, tart apple

01:35:47.199 --> 01:35:50.000
with hint of cherry that you know, that would

01:35:50.000 --> 01:35:52.500
be accurate. Yeah, no doubt, but but good nonetheless

01:35:52.500 --> 01:35:54.300
Yeah, I guess that's just how they have to market

01:35:54.300 --> 01:35:58.130
it though. Sure. Yeah very good yes official

01:35:58.130 --> 01:36:00.770
beer review as i said let us know what you are

01:36:00.770 --> 01:36:03.189
enjoying today as well in the comments no doubt

01:36:03.189 --> 01:36:07.710
uh all right well that takes us to uh the end

01:36:07.710 --> 01:36:10.890
and we have our last segment it is tier listing

01:36:10.890 --> 01:36:13.310
we kind of swap things in and out here at the

01:36:13.310 --> 01:36:16.130
end of the show been on a tier listing kick lately

01:36:16.130 --> 01:36:19.630
and aiden had a very interesting idea that i

01:36:19.630 --> 01:36:22.310
did we were on a call talking about the show

01:36:22.310 --> 01:36:24.789
what we were planning on going for. And I had

01:36:24.789 --> 01:36:27.310
this idea. I didn't know if it was going to fly,

01:36:27.329 --> 01:36:30.510
but then we both kind of were into it. What if

01:36:30.510 --> 01:36:35.590
we did a tier listing segment and we ranked countries?

01:36:37.729 --> 01:36:41.869
Sounds like it could be dangerous. But sounds

01:36:41.869 --> 01:36:44.829
like it could be pretty epic. I think so, too.

01:36:45.510 --> 01:36:48.170
And seeing as, you know, we went so hard right

01:36:48.170 --> 01:36:51.050
off jump today. Right. Why not finish the same

01:36:51.050 --> 01:36:53.720
way? Damn right. That's the way I'm looking at

01:36:53.720 --> 01:36:56.199
it. Damn right. I'm up for the challenge. Hell

01:36:56.199 --> 01:36:59.560
yeah. Now we're, you are the history buff. Indeed.

01:37:00.420 --> 01:37:03.840
And we're both fairly socially politically aware

01:37:03.840 --> 01:37:07.659
individuals. Yes. So that could weigh in on our

01:37:07.659 --> 01:37:10.899
decisions. Oh some of it for sure. Some of it.

01:37:11.420 --> 01:37:14.739
But tier listing, a segment originally from AK219

01:37:14.739 --> 01:37:16.859
that we have kind of adopted here on the Mark

01:37:16.859 --> 01:37:20.220
Mo Show. We rank things on a scale from F being

01:37:20.220 --> 01:37:22.960
the worst of the worst, D being bad, C being

01:37:22.960 --> 01:37:26.119
mid, B being good, A being great, and S being

01:37:26.119 --> 01:37:30.199
the best of the best. Of the best. Damn right.

01:37:30.380 --> 01:37:34.739
So I have 20 countries today that we'll be ranking

01:37:34.739 --> 01:37:37.760
on that scale. We're going to start off here

01:37:37.760 --> 01:37:42.840
with a curious one. North Korea. North Korea.

01:37:43.420 --> 01:37:49.699
North Korea. Well, um To be honest our leaders

01:37:49.699 --> 01:37:52.699
have a lot in common actually they do they have

01:37:52.699 --> 01:37:56.840
a lot in common They treat their people shittily

01:37:56.840 --> 01:37:59.939
They're always causing problems. It's just like

01:37:59.939 --> 01:38:02.779
having a family with like 12 kids Yes, that one

01:38:02.779 --> 01:38:06.619
kid that is just a medicine Just keeps fucking

01:38:06.619 --> 01:38:09.939
around here. It's like dude would just stop that's

01:38:09.939 --> 01:38:12.380
North Korea is that of the world. Yeah, exactly

01:38:12.699 --> 01:38:16.859
I'm gonna give it an F. An F? North Korea, off

01:38:16.859 --> 01:38:20.840
jump, getting an F. We've got to get that fat

01:38:20.840 --> 01:38:23.939

to the show. Shout out to Curaçao. If you guys

01:38:37.109 --> 01:38:39.630
are listening, how are you doing? I'm sure. I

01:38:39.630 --> 01:38:44.909
was watching CONCATH, which is the soccer prelims

01:38:44.909 --> 01:38:47.170
for the World Cup, which is everybody in our

01:38:47.170 --> 01:38:48.949
hemisphere, North and South America. Oh, yeah.

01:38:49.529 --> 01:38:52.329
And Curaçao was playing. So they have a soccer

are doing something right. Beautiful beaches.

01:39:11.579 --> 01:39:14.539
I'm trying to remember the name. It's a very

01:39:14.539 --> 01:39:16.840
Dutch name. The Dutch had a lot to do with the

01:39:16.840 --> 01:39:19.640
development of Curacao. And so there's Dutch

01:39:19.640 --> 01:39:22.619
names for their cities. Oh, yeah. Willem, Willem,

01:39:22.659 --> 01:39:25.180

01:39:25.180 --> 01:39:28.069
talking about. Yeah, Willem. Something. Yeah,

01:39:28.090 --> 01:39:32.369
so it It's up there. I give it an A. An A for

01:39:32.369 --> 01:39:35.789
Curacao. I give them an A. Beautiful. Next up,

01:39:36.229 --> 01:39:40.329
Sweden. Sweden, amazing country, great hockey

01:39:40.329 --> 01:39:46.930
team. They just seem to get it in terms of countries.

01:39:47.229 --> 01:39:52.329
Like socioeconomic. Yes. Yeah. 100 percent. A

01:39:52.329 --> 01:39:54.930
lot of Scandinavia does. Really? Oh, for the

01:39:54.930 --> 01:39:58.600
most part. Yeah, I would say that. The only downside

01:39:58.600 --> 01:40:02.520
is winter because they're north so they get cold

01:40:02.520 --> 01:40:06.359
and I'm not a cold fan. It's pretty much the

01:40:06.359 --> 01:40:12.300
only downgrade I'm gonna give them. Oh boy. An

01:40:12.300 --> 01:40:18.699
A. An A. An A for Sweden. Next up, happy Independence

01:40:18.699 --> 01:40:22.359
Day. The United States of America. Where do we

01:40:22.359 --> 01:40:25.539
rank the country in which we live? This is kind

01:40:25.539 --> 01:40:30.199
of like the fryer view. So you have to kind of

01:40:30.199 --> 01:40:33.600
just grade on what you get. You can't sit there

01:40:33.600 --> 01:40:37.840
and say, oh, remember America, Reagan, Sean and

01:40:37.840 --> 01:40:40.899
city on the hill. Oh, all this stuff. John F.

01:40:41.020 --> 01:40:44.920
Kennedy in. Well, yeah, they killed him. So,

01:40:44.920 --> 01:40:47.279
yeah, he's like, oh, I know how America should

01:40:47.279 --> 01:40:51.800
be. No. Thanks, CIA. Yeah. Robert Kennedy. No,

01:40:51.800 --> 01:40:53.399
wait, they don't do that to my brother. Now,

01:40:53.399 --> 01:40:58.399
what he meant was pop up mlk well what we need

01:40:58.399 --> 01:41:02.220
this kind of pop pop pop pop pop thanks fbi yeah

01:41:02.220 --> 01:41:06.159
it's just it's god the more you're just like

01:41:06.159 --> 01:41:10.600
you try to find the good in what it is it's within

01:41:10.600 --> 01:41:14.659
some of the people and that's about it right

01:41:14.659 --> 01:41:19.579
i really we have to rank it as it is as it is

01:41:19.579 --> 01:41:22.039
and i'll tell you i mean because i'm i'm a big

01:41:22.039 --> 01:41:25.270
traveler road traveler I've been to Montana.

01:41:25.310 --> 01:41:27.750
It's gorgeous. I've been to Wyoming. It's beautiful.

01:41:27.789 --> 01:41:31.689
Yeah You know the Pacific Northwest. I really

01:41:31.689 --> 01:41:35.890
love it out there The Grand Canyon goofy as Florida

01:41:35.890 --> 01:41:38.210
is and wish like there was that one Bugs Bunny

01:41:38.210 --> 01:41:41.850
cartoon where he cuts Florida off with a handsaw

01:41:41.850 --> 01:41:43.890
And there's times like I really wish I could

01:41:43.890 --> 01:41:47.369
do that but I've been there and I spent a full

01:41:47.369 --> 01:41:51.029
year there and I love the beaches and I just

01:41:51.029 --> 01:41:55.430
love Like the tropical party vibe, and like I

01:41:55.430 --> 01:41:57.869
love that shit. I loved going out to the Keys.

01:41:58.729 --> 01:42:00.750
There's so many people that, like there aren't

01:42:00.750 --> 01:42:04.409
many Floridian Floridians there, especially in

01:42:04.409 --> 01:42:06.310
a lot of those towns. It's people that went there

01:42:06.310 --> 01:42:08.350
from New York and Chicago and Detroit and other

01:42:08.350 --> 01:42:12.510
places. So like that part of it's fine. The rest

01:42:12.510 --> 01:42:16.010
of it just sucks. Right. But it's part of the

01:42:16.010 --> 01:42:18.729
USC. Gotta grade it. Florida man. Florida man.

01:42:18.909 --> 01:42:23.909
Yeah. Oh, God. I won't go F because we're not

01:42:23.909 --> 01:42:30.710
in North Korea yet. So I'm gonna go D. Begrudgingly,

01:42:30.850 --> 01:42:35.170
it's D. Begrudgingly. It just is. I wish I could

01:42:35.170 --> 01:42:38.270
at least get in the Cs, but I can't. Not right

01:42:38.270 --> 01:42:44.090
now. Yep, I'd agree. Next up, Mexico. Our southern...

01:42:43.979 --> 01:42:47.359
Neighbors. Yeah, and I love their president right

01:42:47.359 --> 01:42:49.239
now and she's basically told Trump to go fuck

01:42:49.239 --> 01:42:52.560
himself numerous times So solid I I love that.

01:42:52.560 --> 01:42:57.579
I love her and They do but not without their

01:42:57.579 --> 01:43:02.079
issues sure the drug cartels and and other things

01:43:02.079 --> 01:43:04.840
like that and Like our people go down their vacation

01:43:04.840 --> 01:43:07.119
and then they end up missing and so like there's

01:43:07.119 --> 01:43:10.000
issues Okay, right without question. Once again

01:43:10.000 --> 01:43:13.920
the upside that Florida has though tropical Beautiful

01:43:13.920 --> 01:43:16.979
right really beautiful parts a lot of history

01:43:16.979 --> 01:43:21.380
as well. I Can't get it above sea though. I just

01:43:21.380 --> 01:43:23.699
I can't just because of all those other sure

01:43:23.699 --> 01:43:26.300
they happen to have But it also has a lot of

01:43:26.300 --> 01:43:29.760
redeeming parts too. Yeah, so see down the road

01:43:29.760 --> 01:43:34.979
Hmm. Yep next up England Technically part of

01:43:34.979 --> 01:43:38.979
the UK, but Tally ho Tally horse bought a tee.

01:43:39.000 --> 01:43:42.729
Let's have some it's all right Little rabbit.

01:43:43.050 --> 01:43:46.710
All right. Oh, God. What if we make everybody

01:43:46.710 --> 01:43:51.729
in the world hate us? That's easy. Um, this is

01:43:51.729 --> 01:43:54.710
a Staples button. That was easy. Yeah. So I guess

01:43:54.710 --> 01:43:57.130
technically it would be UK, but I wanted to single

01:43:57.130 --> 01:43:59.050
out England. It should be. It should be singled

01:43:59.050 --> 01:44:01.430
out. Because, you know, I don't want the Scots

01:44:01.430 --> 01:44:05.069
associated with the English or the Welsh, the

01:44:05.069 --> 01:44:09.689
Isle of Man, God forbid. Right. Exactly. So England

01:44:09.689 --> 01:44:14.510
alone. Man scale from F to S Here's the thing

01:44:14.510 --> 01:44:19.829
great history London looks like a cool town The

01:44:19.829 --> 01:44:25.310
culture from music to movies To so much like

01:44:25.310 --> 01:44:27.510
so many contributions that oh, yeah, but you

01:44:27.510 --> 01:44:29.210
can't get past the colonialism. You can't get

01:44:29.210 --> 01:44:31.229
past the slavery You can't get past all the shit

01:44:31.229 --> 01:44:35.250
that did to the Irish and the Indians. It's It's

01:44:35.250 --> 01:44:38.869
tough to ignore that part. It's my degree is

01:44:39.720 --> 01:44:44.460
Although they do have a lot of upside, too. Ah,

01:44:45.380 --> 01:44:49.939
man. Yeah. But I can't grade it as low as America,

01:44:50.000 --> 01:44:53.880
so I got to go C. C, right down the road. Mixing

01:44:53.880 --> 01:44:57.319
it with Mexico. Yes. Curious. England, enjoy

01:44:57.319 --> 01:44:59.119
your C. Enjoy your C. I'd have been a little

01:44:59.119 --> 01:45:01.220
more biased, but I can appreciate where your

01:45:01.220 --> 01:45:04.060
head's at. Bias to which way? I would have given

01:45:04.060 --> 01:45:07.279
them like a D minus, maybe. I also would have

01:45:07.279 --> 01:45:10.579
ranked USA lower. But I'm not allowing my bias

01:45:10.579 --> 01:45:14.020
to sway, since you are the one, the tierless

01:45:14.020 --> 01:45:16.359
D. The tierless D today. Yep, okay, that's fair.

01:45:16.399 --> 01:45:19.840
Next up, staying in Europe, Germany. Germany,

01:45:20.539 --> 01:45:22.220
boy. There's a lot of history there that's hard

01:45:22.220 --> 01:45:25.579
to ignore. Yeah. That part is super hard. However,

01:45:25.739 --> 01:45:27.920
I think they've come a long way as a country.

01:45:28.500 --> 01:45:30.920
Growth is important. Growth is important, I think.

01:45:31.399 --> 01:45:33.960
When you look at Germany and Europe as a whole,

01:45:34.000 --> 01:45:36.560
and they're the beacon of democracy. Right. Man,

01:45:36.720 --> 01:45:39.279
what the hell is going on? Yeah. Somebody flipped

01:45:39.279 --> 01:45:41.800
the damn script, I will tell you that. I think

01:45:41.800 --> 01:45:45.939
we know who. Yeah, but I have an idea of some

01:45:45.939 --> 01:45:50.119
of the people. God I honestly I'd have to say

01:45:50.119 --> 01:45:52.060
be like it is definitely on my list of countries.

01:45:52.060 --> 01:45:56.279
I want to go to we've had family and I think

01:45:56.279 --> 01:45:58.539
they've they've moved in the right direction

01:45:58.539 --> 01:46:01.319
over the years right despite their awful history

01:46:01.319 --> 01:46:04.140
I would agree. I would agree. That's that's character

01:46:04.140 --> 01:46:07.899
growth right there. Yes. Yes next up going south

01:46:07.899 --> 01:46:12.760
again Brazil Brazil man. I went to Key West one

01:46:12.760 --> 01:46:16.229
time. I took this guy Brad with me And there

01:46:16.229 --> 01:46:18.590
was this fantasy fest and a huge parade and it

01:46:18.590 --> 01:46:21.510
was just chaos and fun and whatever. But to wrap

01:46:21.510 --> 01:46:25.989
it up was this massive like, I don't know, it

01:46:25.989 --> 01:46:28.750
was like a like a wagon or something, a bunch

01:46:28.750 --> 01:46:32.149
of people in it anyway. And it was like carnival.

01:46:32.289 --> 01:46:34.270
So you follow this huge truck with all these

01:46:34.270 --> 01:46:36.770
people in the back. And like there's this music,

01:46:36.909 --> 01:46:38.409
it's like doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

01:46:38.409 --> 01:46:40.829
doo doo. And literally everybody watching is

01:46:40.829 --> 01:46:42.949
exactly what it sounded like by the way. So everybody

01:46:42.949 --> 01:46:45.859
that's watching the parade. Everybody is folding

01:46:45.859 --> 01:46:48.720
in back behind this truck. Awesome. The best

01:46:48.720 --> 01:46:50.640
part of it is there's these Bible bangers and

01:46:50.640 --> 01:46:52.619
they were like, for my Jesus Christ, you're all

01:46:52.619 --> 01:46:56.060
sinners. And literally it was like a naked gun

01:46:56.060 --> 01:46:58.739
comedy. Like literally when this thing passed,

01:46:58.920 --> 01:47:01.340
everybody just floods trees like, please consider

01:47:01.340 --> 01:47:04.180
Jesus. Like the guy gets a run over. It was like

01:47:04.180 --> 01:47:07.399
so great. So we're like all folded in behind

01:47:07.399 --> 01:47:09.060
these guys and he goes all the way to the end

01:47:09.060 --> 01:47:11.779
of Duval and they just kind of park and everybody

01:47:11.779 --> 01:47:13.800
jumps off the back of this thing and it's like,

01:47:13.770 --> 01:47:16.270
carnival and everybody's dancing and the music

01:47:16.270 --> 01:47:18.109
and the people in the costumes I was just like

01:47:18.109 --> 01:47:21.569
this is awesome cool so if Brazil has that energy

01:47:21.569 --> 01:47:25.350
I'm all for it they also have a climate that

01:47:25.350 --> 01:47:29.670
is great their beaches look amazing I'm sure

01:47:29.670 --> 01:47:33.029
they're not without their their issues deforestation

01:47:33.029 --> 01:47:38.369
all that Socio -political susness. Yeah, that's

01:47:38.369 --> 01:47:41.909
a problem, but I give it a B plus. Going B plus

01:47:41.909 --> 01:47:45.369
for Brazil. B plus. Highest ranking thus far.

01:47:46.069 --> 01:47:47.970
Which I fear... I got a couple A's in there,

01:47:48.029 --> 01:47:49.850
don't I? Oh, you do. You do. You're right. My

01:47:49.850 --> 01:47:53.609
bad. I fear that won't continue. Next up, Russia.

01:47:54.590 --> 01:47:56.710
Russia. First off, we have people from Russia

01:47:56.710 --> 01:47:58.750
that listen. I love you guys. Thank you for listening.

01:47:59.510 --> 01:48:02.710
I know... It's so similar to what we have. We're

01:48:02.710 --> 01:48:06.409
like... Please don't associate the United States

01:48:06.409 --> 01:48:10.310
government with the people. Right. The quiet

01:48:10.310 --> 01:48:13.949
majority of us, we're pretty chill. Trust us.

01:48:14.010 --> 01:48:15.989
And I imagine it's the same with Russia. I would

01:48:15.989 --> 01:48:17.949
assume so. I would imagine. I really would. And

01:48:17.949 --> 01:48:21.130
I don't fault the people for that at all. From

01:48:21.130 --> 01:48:22.750
what I've heard, the people are great. And some

01:48:22.750 --> 01:48:24.189
of you listen to the show, and we appreciate

01:48:24.189 --> 01:48:28.109
you very much. But the country as a whole...

01:48:28.159 --> 01:48:29.979
get the fuck out of Ukraine. I've had enough

01:48:29.979 --> 01:48:34.520
of your shit. And by the way, if it weren't for

01:48:34.520 --> 01:48:38.359
your nuclear weapons, militarily, you guys would

01:48:38.359 --> 01:48:40.659
rank like 20th in the world. Like you wouldn't

01:48:40.659 --> 01:48:43.340
even be up there. Right. Like Afghanistan kicked

01:48:43.340 --> 01:48:45.779
your ass and now Ukraine's kicking your ass.

01:48:46.039 --> 01:48:49.720
It's like, you guys got problems, man. I feel

01:48:49.720 --> 01:48:52.460
like this is the Festivist dinner. I got a lot

01:48:52.460 --> 01:48:55.229
of problem with you guys. Right. Uh, it's just

01:48:55.229 --> 01:48:57.590
really, it's, it's just kind of weak, but doesn't

01:48:57.590 --> 01:48:59.649
mean the people are weak or your culture is weak.

01:48:59.649 --> 01:49:02.029
It's not, I'm sure it's cool. I've had a friend

01:49:02.029 --> 01:49:03.970
that went to Red Square before the Putin bullshit.

01:49:04.430 --> 01:49:06.289
She loved it. She thought it was amazing and

01:49:06.289 --> 01:49:10.010
the people were amazing. So I've got vodka and

01:49:10.010 --> 01:49:13.010
Adidas tracksuits on their side. They really

01:49:13.010 --> 01:49:16.649
do tracksuit mafia, baby. I gotta love it. Um,

01:49:16.649 --> 01:49:21.380
but to be fair, can I rank them above? America

01:49:21.380 --> 01:49:24.399
right now, I can't. Oh, fair. I would want to.

01:49:24.800 --> 01:49:28.180
For many of those other reasons, but if America's

01:49:28.180 --> 01:49:30.600
D, they gotta be D too. They've gotta be D too.

01:49:30.659 --> 01:49:34.939
No D minus? Tied with America? Here I am swaying

01:49:34.939 --> 01:49:36.840
you again. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait

01:49:36.840 --> 01:49:39.020
a minute. America was D minus? I thought they

01:49:39.020 --> 01:49:41.319
were just D. No. Did you put the minus? No, no.

01:49:41.579 --> 01:49:44.619
America's D, I was offering if you wanted Russia

01:49:44.619 --> 01:49:46.939
to be D minus or not. Nope, just a D. Nope, tied.

01:49:47.300 --> 01:49:50.890
You're tied with us babies, welcome. Next up,

01:49:51.329 --> 01:49:53.770
one of the countries you mentioned being brutalized

01:49:53.770 --> 01:49:58.189
by England, India. India, yeah, you know, that's,

01:49:58.229 --> 01:50:01.229
they got a lot of issues there, political and

01:50:01.229 --> 01:50:04.770
otherwise overcrowded. Yeah. Like, I see your

01:50:04.770 --> 01:50:06.529
trains, people trying to get to work, they're

01:50:06.529 --> 01:50:07.949
hanging off the trains and shit. Right, right.

01:50:08.590 --> 01:50:11.229
But hey, you know, if it wasn't for India, like,

01:50:11.310 --> 01:50:14.109
I don't think there would be any sort of support

01:50:14.109 --> 01:50:17.800
for any of our companies. For sure they they

01:50:17.800 --> 01:50:21.399
go they go heavy into that for sure No doubt

01:50:21.399 --> 01:50:24.000
about it. I mean, but let's be honest I mean

01:50:24.000 --> 01:50:27.039
if your name if your name is Vivek or it's it's

01:50:27.039 --> 01:50:30.760
like 13 letters long Just say it and make us

01:50:30.760 --> 01:50:33.520
say it. Okay. We don't want to be stupid. We're

01:50:33.520 --> 01:50:36.140
not stupid Okay, some people here are stupid.

01:50:36.159 --> 01:50:39.340
Yeah, but I'm not stupid. So if it's a long 13

01:50:39.340 --> 01:50:41.420
letter name, hey pronounce it Let me know what

01:50:41.420 --> 01:50:43.680
it is. Don't say your name is Joe. Your name's

01:50:43.680 --> 01:50:45.159
not Joe. Fuck that. Your name's not Joe. Your

01:50:45.159 --> 01:50:48.159
name's not Tom. It's some law. Just go by your

01:50:48.159 --> 01:50:49.939
name. Right. That's all I'm asking. You shouldn't

01:50:49.939 --> 01:50:52.539
have to degrade yourself to fit in with our standards.

01:50:52.779 --> 01:50:55.979
And it's, it's paints us poorly, which I... Hello,

01:50:56.079 --> 01:50:58.600
my name is Jerry. You're not Jerry. Yeah. Stop

01:50:58.600 --> 01:51:02.500
it. Yeah. And the interesting part too, is that

01:51:02.500 --> 01:51:05.920
not only, and of course, there are some major

01:51:05.920 --> 01:51:12.489
issues with the culture. would say in in India

01:51:12.489 --> 01:51:16.289
the caste system is problematic yes there are

01:51:16.289 --> 01:51:21.930
issues with the relationships between men and

01:51:21.930 --> 01:51:24.189
women in India and that's a problem too oh for

01:51:24.189 --> 01:51:31.010
sure the quantity of Indian individuals who are

01:51:31.010 --> 01:51:34.810
remarkably intelligent is so vast the amount

01:51:34.810 --> 01:51:40.220
of doctors and just tech magnates the education

01:51:40.220 --> 01:51:46.159
is fantastic. Fantastic. And I think that's remarkably

01:51:46.159 --> 01:51:53.819
notable because it's astounding how especially

01:51:53.819 --> 01:51:58.279
those that immigrate to places like the UK and

01:51:58.279 --> 01:52:03.180
Ireland and the US that these individuals are

01:52:03.180 --> 01:52:08.840
just bringing intelligence and expertise in their

01:52:08.840 --> 01:52:12.359
fields. Yeah. And I think that is notable. It

01:52:12.359 --> 01:52:16.079
is something that we should note. Should we get

01:52:16.079 --> 01:52:19.199
to our ranking? Oh, for sure. 100 percent. On

01:52:19.199 --> 01:52:23.039
that side, Bollywood, awesome. The food is great.

01:52:23.859 --> 01:52:26.859
A lot of positives there. I can't get above a

01:52:26.859 --> 01:52:30.640
C, though. That's fair. That is fair to do. And

01:52:30.640 --> 01:52:33.539
since we are low on time for the Mark Mo show,

01:52:33.579 --> 01:52:37.880

01:53:34.289 --> 01:53:36.270
the plus came from the pizza alone, I know it.

01:53:36.409 --> 01:53:40.850
As soon as you said it. Ukraine. Ukraine, uh,

01:53:40.970 --> 01:53:47.529
S for Ukraine. Spain. Spain, oh man, uh, A. A?

01:53:47.710 --> 01:53:50.710
Going A for Spain? I would've included Portugal,

01:53:50.869 --> 01:53:53.470
but, you know, we had to keep the list to 20.

01:53:53.510 --> 01:53:58.300
For sure. Australia. Australia, that's a solid

01:53:58.300 --> 01:54:03.439
A. A for Australia. Yep. The final country in

01:54:03.439 --> 01:54:09.260
this tier listing, Iceland. Iceland has a lot

01:54:09.260 --> 01:54:12.680
in common with its Scandinavian brothers. It

01:54:12.680 --> 01:54:18.380
does. And women outnumber men three to one or

01:54:18.380 --> 01:54:20.539
four to one. Something like that. It's substantial.

01:54:21.100 --> 01:54:23.960
And they actually put all their bankers in jail

01:54:23.960 --> 01:54:25.840
in 07 and 08 when all that shit happened. As

01:54:25.840 --> 01:54:30.079
they should have. Yeah. A plus. A plus for Iceland.

01:54:30.779 --> 01:54:33.859
Beautiful. Beautiful tier listing. I would say

01:54:33.859 --> 01:54:36.460
we kept a level head. I think so. And ranked

01:54:36.460 --> 01:55:03.810
right down the road. That's it. That's it, baby.

01:55:04.409 --> 01:55:07.229
