WEBVTT

00:00:10.619 --> 00:00:16.059
Alrighty, we're back baby season 4 episode 1

00:00:16.059 --> 00:00:21.519
big brother of the Mark Mo show and Thank you.

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.940
I thank all of you. It's why we're still here

00:00:25.309 --> 00:00:27.809
And you can find us in all podcast platforms

00:00:27.809 --> 00:00:30.370
and YouTube. I would like to introduce my co

00:00:30.370 --> 00:00:32.609
-host and producer, Aidan Maloney. How are you

00:00:32.609 --> 00:00:36.350
doing this fine day, sir? Pretty fantastic. I

00:00:36.350 --> 00:00:40.469
get my few days off of work per year and I take

00:00:40.469 --> 00:00:43.490
them to have a nice week off in October. So it's

00:00:43.490 --> 00:00:47.929
been fantastic so far. Very relaxing. Much needed,

00:00:48.229 --> 00:00:50.539
I would say. Nice. That's great. Yes. That's

00:00:50.539 --> 00:00:53.840
good. We all need time off. Speaking of, well,

00:00:53.859 --> 00:00:56.719
we'll get to that later. Yeah. Let's talk about

00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.119
first world countries and which one in particular

00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.320
doesn't require time off. Oh, hey. Hey, how about

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.079
that? We know that third world country real well.

00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:08.799
Stars and stripes, baby. Yeah, America. Heck

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.739
yeah. At any rate, Aidan here, he has his own

00:01:12.739 --> 00:01:14.519
YouTube gaming channel called Aidan Spelt the

00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.040
Right Way. his PC gaming content like GeoGuessr

00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.519
and PolyBridge, Observation Duty, and more each

00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.200
and every week. And now that it is October, he's

00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:30.620
been doing a lot of horror games online. And

00:01:30.620 --> 00:01:32.879
so what are you playing? What are you doing?

00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:36.439
Recently, so a couple days ago on my YouTube

00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.099
channel, you can find the video where I played

00:01:38.099 --> 00:01:41.420
this game called Crimson Snow. Hmm crimson snow

00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:44.379
is a fantastic game. I really enjoyed unfortunately

00:01:44.379 --> 00:01:47.219
It's it's a kind of a longer game, and I got

00:01:47.219 --> 00:01:50.620
the bad ending and I'm like I can go through

00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:52.099
again and get the good ending, but then it'd

00:01:52.099 --> 00:01:54.579
be like a four -hour video. Yep. And usually

00:01:54.579 --> 00:01:57.099
I keep my videos somewhere between 30 and 90

00:01:57.099 --> 00:02:00.400
minutes. Gotcha. So, yeah, unfortunately I got

00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.400
the bad ending, but it is a fantastic indie horror

00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.780
game. And I think, what, for two hours of gameplay,

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.319
of good scares, I think it only ran me five or

00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:15.240
ten bones, but yeah, absolutely fantastic. Indie

00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.460
horror and indie games, midsize to indie games,

00:02:18.539 --> 00:02:20.949
have been... absolutely popping off over the

00:02:20.949 --> 00:02:24.210
last five to ten years and I'm very excited to

00:02:24.210 --> 00:02:28.050
to be a part of not only playing those games

00:02:28.050 --> 00:02:31.569
and showcasing them but also just kind of supporting

00:02:31.569 --> 00:02:35.949
financially and through you know social media

00:02:35.949 --> 00:02:39.129
these these indie devs because I mean it's hard

00:02:39.129 --> 00:02:42.360
work Creating creating YouTube videos tough creating

00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.560
a video game that that shit takes a while Oh,

00:02:45.580 --> 00:02:48.180
I bet it is a lot of dedicated work So I'm I'm

00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:50.680
very excited to be a part of it all and it's

00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.060
it's just been fantastic Lots of horror games

00:02:53.060 --> 00:02:55.580
will continue through October and it'll be a

00:02:55.580 --> 00:02:57.939
fantastic spooky season. That's awesome Yeah,

00:02:57.979 --> 00:03:00.180
we're definitely looking forward to that for

00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:03.219
sure and yeah, make sure you check out his stuff

00:03:03.219 --> 00:03:07.180
on YouTube If you enjoy this content, being the

00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:10.379
Mark Mo Show and Aidan Spell the Right Way and

00:03:10.379 --> 00:03:12.439
all that kind of good stuff, including AK209,

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.500
we definitely don't want to forget that as well.

00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:26.789
That is a podcast on YouTube as well. in its

00:03:26.789 --> 00:03:31.129
original form or format was Aiden and another

00:03:31.129 --> 00:03:34.370
co -host, AK -209, it was also called Guys Being

00:03:34.370 --> 00:03:37.270
Dudes, and great content, great stuff, you can

00:03:37.270 --> 00:03:40.729
still find it online. But when the other host,

00:03:41.729 --> 00:03:44.009
I would like to say he held out for more money,

00:03:44.530 --> 00:03:48.889
but I think he just held out. He just held out,

00:03:48.990 --> 00:03:51.210
kind of flaked. Yeah. It's like, I've gotten

00:03:51.210 --> 00:03:53.370
too big for this. I'm going to Hollywood, baby.

00:03:53.770 --> 00:03:55.469
And I was like, okie dokie, I'll be here when

00:03:55.469 --> 00:03:59.189
you fail. And not only did he, but he also didn't

00:03:59.189 --> 00:04:02.550
come back out of shame. Yeah. Yeah, that was

00:04:02.550 --> 00:04:04.069
true. As a matter of fact, they followed him

00:04:04.069 --> 00:04:06.830
throughout town with a bell, chain, chain, chain,

00:04:07.009 --> 00:04:09.229
ding, ding. He had the dunce cap on. Yeah, but

00:04:09.229 --> 00:04:11.069
I mean, sometimes you just have that coming.

00:04:11.469 --> 00:04:13.909
That's to be completely fair. There's like eight

00:04:13.909 --> 00:04:17.009
seasons of Backlog you can laugh through if you'd

00:04:17.009 --> 00:04:20.470
like, but it's a collab channel these days. That

00:04:20.470 --> 00:04:23.319
is true. Gaming collab. Perhaps some quizzes

00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.519
going forward could be a fun time. Yeah, basically

00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:28.660
what we like to do because there's it's it's

00:04:28.660 --> 00:04:31.720
it's Really truly is a collab. It's it's a lot

00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:35.800
of kind of our back -and -forth Nonsense improv

00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:37.740
whatever you want to call it that we do here

00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:41.319
and all the gaming that he does Over on spell

00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.879
the right way. So it just gets our bill It's

00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.439
kind of allows us to kind of get together on

00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.000
some of those things. We've done a lot of Geo

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:53.980
guesser, but it allows us To I guess try to be

00:04:53.980 --> 00:04:57.279
funny entertaining. It's the goal That's that's

00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:59.360
pretty much the goal and that's really a great

00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:03.160
game to do that for sure But eight in the game

00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:04.920
master's telling me there's other games out there

00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:06.819
that that will allow us some of this back and

00:05:06.819 --> 00:05:10.319
forth and fun stuff So well, I'm sure we'll we'll

00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.850
expand the franchise here. Absolutely Yeah, that

00:05:12.850 --> 00:05:15.129
is awesome. So make sure you check that out as

00:05:15.129 --> 00:05:17.449
well. And last certainly not least, I have a

00:05:17.449 --> 00:05:20.410
radio show here in Valparaiso, Indiana. And hey,

00:05:20.490 --> 00:05:24.230
where is that, you might say? I don't know. Middle

00:05:24.230 --> 00:05:26.910
of pretty much the country. Middle, pretty much

00:05:26.910 --> 00:05:28.689
the middle of the country. It's not Kansas, but

00:05:28.689 --> 00:05:32.089
it's close enough. Yeah, you'll find the Great

00:05:32.089 --> 00:05:34.490
Lakes. If you're there, you're in the neighborhood.

00:05:34.829 --> 00:05:37.250
Yeah, you know, Great Lakes region is how I've

00:05:37.250 --> 00:05:40.769
always heard it classified. Yeah, or Chicagoland.

00:05:41.389 --> 00:05:44.910
Yeah, two counties of Indiana participate in

00:05:44.910 --> 00:05:47.589
Chicagoland. In Chicagoland, yes. Indeed we do.

00:05:47.769 --> 00:05:49.730
We're always on the map. And one county in Wisconsin,

00:05:49.930 --> 00:05:52.629
I believe. Oh, is it now? I believe so. Okay.

00:05:53.470 --> 00:05:56.389
Well, there you have it. An official report there

00:05:56.389 --> 00:05:59.629
from Amy Maloney. I've done my geology. Geography.

00:06:00.310 --> 00:06:03.420
Same shit. Geo guesser? I mean, whatever Geo

00:06:03.420 --> 00:06:05.279
you want to use. I mean, one is about rocks,

00:06:05.420 --> 00:06:07.680
and the other one is about locations on the big

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.360
rock. On the big rock. Yeah, that's fair. Same

00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.860
science. Same science. And that's what we're

00:06:12.860 --> 00:06:16.620
here for. So good night, everybody. Just playing

00:06:16.620 --> 00:06:19.879
with you. We have a lot more nonsense here for

00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.019
you today. But at any rate, that radio show is

00:06:23.019 --> 00:06:25.959
called After Hours. It's on WVLP radio in Valparaiso,

00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.800
Indiana. You can find the stream at WVLP .org.

00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.670
You can also... find it on your phone, your tuning

00:06:32.670 --> 00:06:35.389
app, so you can check it out there. Here you

00:06:35.389 --> 00:06:37.350
can yell at Alexa and it'll play stuff off the

00:06:37.350 --> 00:06:39.529
station. I don't know, I'm not yelling at anything

00:06:39.529 --> 00:06:42.490
AI. I think we're like one step away from iRobot,

00:06:42.550 --> 00:06:44.430
so I'm gonna be very nice to all things automated

00:06:44.430 --> 00:06:47.290
and robotic. There was a study that came out

00:06:47.290 --> 00:06:49.829
recently that absolutely determined we're past

00:06:49.829 --> 00:06:52.819
the tipping point. there is more bot activity

00:06:52.819 --> 00:06:55.000
on the internet than there is human activity.

00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.120
So, iRobots here, baby. It's just a matter of

00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.079
actually building them so they can take us down.

00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.980
Right, yeah. All they're doing is learning. They're

00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:07.240
just learning. Essentially scalping our intellectual

00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.779
property for free. Because somehow lawmakers

00:07:10.779 --> 00:07:13.319
don't understand that, oh, I guess intellectual

00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.819
property, I guess that should apply to rich people

00:07:16.819 --> 00:07:19.459
scalping too. But you see, they don't get that.

00:07:19.500 --> 00:07:21.699
Nope. They don't get that. It's unfortunate.

00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:24.420
Now, as long as rich people own it, but as we

00:07:24.420 --> 00:07:26.920
all remember from iRobot and other movies like

00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:31.329
that, they'll eventually turn on everyone. Yeah,

00:07:31.389 --> 00:07:33.529
even the rich people will have it coming. Yeah,

00:07:33.569 --> 00:07:36.589
no bunker will save you. No, no, that'll, that's,

00:07:36.709 --> 00:07:39.029
I just... Mark Zuckerberg. I just want to sit.

00:07:39.050 --> 00:07:41.970
You cuck, Mark Cuckerberg. I just want to sit

00:07:41.970 --> 00:07:43.689
in the stands with some popcorn, man. Exactly.

00:07:43.689 --> 00:07:45.629
That's all I want to do. To be a fly on the wall

00:07:45.629 --> 00:07:50.430
of an Elon Musk built robot killing Elon Musk.

00:07:50.870 --> 00:07:53.149
Oh, God. Please, pay per view, I'm there. I know,

00:07:53.290 --> 00:07:56.329
I'd pay 70 bones. I would definitely do that.

00:07:56.870 --> 00:07:59.670
All right, so, yeah, this is season four. This

00:07:59.670 --> 00:08:01.600
is our first episode. We got a lot of fun stuff

00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.000
coming up This season including interviews we

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.699
we I don't want to say we did we slacked on our

00:08:07.699 --> 00:08:10.519
interviews this past season but sometimes life

00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:12.800
gets busy for those being interviewed and your

00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.560
interviewer and So we just didn't have as many

00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.180
last season, but this season we're already gonna

00:08:18.180 --> 00:08:19.660
have some on the books as a matter of fact We're

00:08:19.660 --> 00:08:23.000
gonna have a really fun version of fireside chats

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:26.759
coming up. Aiden and I are going to be going

00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.399
on a dive bar bus tour, and partially put on

00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:38.500
by our podcasting friends at Tasty219. And we're

00:08:38.500 --> 00:08:40.200
gonna go on this adventure with them. And when

00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.360
I talked to Aiden, I said, hey, number one, he

00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:43.899
came with, he's like, yeah, man, I'm like, ah,

00:08:43.899 --> 00:08:46.799
it's gonna be a great day. Not that like chaos

00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.159
ensues when Aiden and I are in the same room,

00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.919
but maybe it does. You know, it's one of those

00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.210
things like causation versus correlation. Correct,

00:08:56.370 --> 00:09:00.330
and I'm no scientist, but I'm just saying I'm

00:09:00.330 --> 00:09:01.990
just we're just saying we're just saying we're

00:09:01.990 --> 00:09:04.730
just saying So we're gonna do that. So we thought

00:09:04.730 --> 00:09:07.370
based on the snazzy new phone that he has my

00:09:07.370 --> 00:09:11.730
telephone Yes, great phone and he's like hey

00:09:11.730 --> 00:09:15.029
and we recorded like stuff on his phone And it

00:09:15.029 --> 00:09:17.889
was crystal clear. I was like, holy shit. I'm

00:09:17.889 --> 00:09:20.490
like, this is really great. I have an idea. And

00:09:20.490 --> 00:09:23.889
so I said, why don't we do our first fireside

00:09:23.889 --> 00:09:26.929
chat for the Mark Mo Show on the bus tour? On

00:09:26.929 --> 00:09:29.309
the road. We'll do a little wrap at each place

00:09:29.309 --> 00:09:31.970
we get to. We'll interview a few people that

00:09:31.970 --> 00:09:34.590
we've been along the way and maybe start out

00:09:34.590 --> 00:09:38.529
with a little quick blurb from from Greg and

00:09:38.529 --> 00:09:42.029
Larry at Tasty 219 obviously early in the program

00:09:42.029 --> 00:09:44.330
because later in the program I mentioned as a

00:09:44.330 --> 00:09:48.049
dive bar bus tour you know they're gonna have

00:09:48.049 --> 00:09:50.350
fun yeah Greg and Larry might be getting a little

00:09:50.350 --> 00:09:52.570
sloshed among the folks and maybe that'll be

00:09:52.570 --> 00:09:55.480
better content sure People loosen up. It could

00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:58.440
very well be that they need to loosen up. They

00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:02.519
are incredibly entertaining in their own right.

00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.879
But yeah, so we're going to do that. And then

00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.179
there's a ghost kitchen in Valpo that we're going

00:10:08.179 --> 00:10:10.419
to meet with, talk to some of the chefs. I think

00:10:10.419 --> 00:10:12.460
that's going to be a blast. Perfect for Halloween.

00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.759
Very spooky. Very, very spooky. Ghost kitchen.

00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.039
Are there ghosts in the kitchen? There could

00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.490
very well be. Boo! Do we get you? Hey, man. I

00:10:22.490 --> 00:10:25.429
know you started on I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I was

00:10:25.429 --> 00:10:27.629
too, you know, it is too much Maybe I'll you

00:10:27.629 --> 00:10:31.009
start on our fan from curacao in editing I'll

00:10:31.009 --> 00:10:33.750
put in like a like like a voice clip of like

00:10:33.750 --> 00:10:36.570
hey Aidan in editing here I'm gonna say the word

00:10:36.570 --> 00:10:41.909
boo. Be careful. Be careful Are you okay? I'm

00:10:41.909 --> 00:10:43.870
absolutely not doing that, but the post commentary

00:10:43.870 --> 00:10:45.549
is going to be great. Post commentary will be

00:10:45.549 --> 00:10:49.269
outstanding. Absolutely. So, at any rate, yeah,

00:10:49.470 --> 00:10:53.240
we've got a fun season coming up. I want to start,

00:10:53.460 --> 00:10:55.500
you know, we always start out with a little bit

00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:58.159
of dialogue here back and forth. And I've said

00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:00.659
from day one, I don't want to be a political

00:11:00.659 --> 00:11:02.960
podcast. I don't want to do this every week.

00:11:03.259 --> 00:11:05.000
And I think a couple of weeks ago, we didn't.

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.080
We did something a little bit different, even

00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.700
though it did leech into things going on a little.

00:11:11.100 --> 00:11:13.320
But I'm like, OK, we're going to try to do this.

00:11:13.779 --> 00:11:16.799
But every week, it just seems like there is a

00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.320
massive amount of different shit that goes out.

00:11:19.539 --> 00:11:24.320
Like, you cannot discern from a Wall Street article

00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:27.899
to an LA Times article to the onion. You just

00:11:27.899 --> 00:11:32.259
cannot differentiate. It's an absurd world and

00:11:32.259 --> 00:11:35.779
specifically country. Yes, we are. We are cursed

00:11:35.779 --> 00:11:40.389
to live in. Once the I know it's it's. It's not

00:11:40.389 --> 00:11:43.269
even true to say we were once like, oh, you know

00:11:43.269 --> 00:11:45.950
the American dream somewhere you can go to fulfill

00:11:45.950 --> 00:11:48.950
what you want to do because that's Only ever

00:11:48.950 --> 00:11:51.769
been the case for middle -class white people.

00:11:51.990 --> 00:11:54.490
That's only ever been the case now There is no

00:11:54.490 --> 00:11:57.029
middle class. You've got the working class and

00:11:57.029 --> 00:11:59.649
you've got the billionaires and that's it and

00:11:59.649 --> 00:12:02.289
that's it and that's it America's never been

00:12:02.289 --> 00:12:08.509
fair to Latinos or black Americans or Asian Americans

00:12:10.500 --> 00:12:14.659
Ever. Ever. And that's the one thing about the

00:12:14.659 --> 00:12:17.799
whole, make America grand again. It's like, when

00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:21.100
the fuck are you talking about? When are you

00:12:21.100 --> 00:12:23.279
talking about? And now we've gotten to the point,

00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:25.460
like you were saying, where it's like, every

00:12:25.460 --> 00:12:30.320
week, there's just this mountain of shit that

00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.299
happens. And it's like, how do we not talk about

00:12:33.299 --> 00:12:36.840
it? How do we not? it's like sure we could gab

00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:40.360
about the Chicago Bears or you know something

00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:43.379
happened in Hollywood or something then music

00:12:43.379 --> 00:12:46.039
I mean ideally we would love to do that we would

00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:49.379
love government and and and politics to be boring

00:12:49.379 --> 00:12:53.039
right Ideally, it's supposed to be. It's just

00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.639
supposed to run in the background and work, and

00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:57.899
then every two years you go out and you vote,

00:12:58.159 --> 00:12:59.879
and that's great. That's how it's supposed to

00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:01.860
be. And those people go and do their jobs. Wow,

00:13:02.139 --> 00:13:04.460
what an idea. Right. I'm voting for somebody

00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:07.379
that's going to represent me. That is such a

00:13:07.379 --> 00:13:11.519
crazily foreign concept. Indeed it is. Yeah.

00:13:12.149 --> 00:13:15.289
Insane. Insane. So as much as we try to get away

00:13:15.289 --> 00:13:18.029
from that, and we will try to diversify as much

00:13:18.029 --> 00:13:19.929
as we can. Like, I would have loved to just talk

00:13:19.929 --> 00:13:23.470
to a big bunny or big bunny. That's hilarious.

00:13:24.029 --> 00:13:30.460
Bad bunny. Big Chungus. Big Chungus will be the

00:13:30.460 --> 00:13:33.480
halftime show. So I would just love to have talked

00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.379
about the Easter Bunny, but I can't do it. It's

00:13:36.379 --> 00:13:37.899
not going to do it. It's not going to do it.

00:13:37.899 --> 00:13:40.620
Not only is he real, but he's playing the halftime

00:13:40.620 --> 00:13:44.779
show. He's going to bring his eggs. Big Chungus

00:13:44.779 --> 00:13:50.019
is speaking Espanol. Oh man, sign me up. So yeah,

00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.240
I would have loved to have just rapped about

00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.179
that and had fun with that, but we cannot. No.

00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:57.960
No, there's crazier things. There are crazier

00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.759
things afoot, if you will. The craziest part

00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:04.399
is there is not a single mainstream news media

00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:07.940
outlet talking about any of it. No. Any of it.

00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.240
Because they're all owned by the same five people.

00:14:11.860 --> 00:14:13.860
And they're all multi -billionaires. And they're

00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:17.519
told to just shut up or talk about it in such

00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:22.440
a vague concept or slanted in certain ways. Right.

00:14:22.659 --> 00:14:26.110
That it's not even news. No, it's not. It's not.

00:14:26.370 --> 00:14:28.289
This dude for Fox's Waters guy, I guess. They

00:14:28.289 --> 00:14:30.690
just showed this thing where he's had multiple

00:14:30.690 --> 00:14:33.230
interviews lately. The same fucking dude. It's

00:14:33.230 --> 00:14:35.370
the same guy. It's some white producer that works

00:14:35.370 --> 00:14:38.269
for Fox. And he played the role of an Antifa

00:14:38.269 --> 00:14:41.429
guy. He played the role of a Hispanic man who

00:14:41.429 --> 00:14:43.809
came over the border and one other person. I

00:14:43.809 --> 00:14:45.590
can't remember what it was. But like if you see

00:14:45.590 --> 00:14:47.190
his eyes, you're like, holy crap, that's the

00:14:47.190 --> 00:14:51.429
same dude for sure. Right. So, yeah, it's just.

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:54.220
It's getting out of hand. Right. Antifa's not

00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:57.139
an organization, brother. No. It's an ideology.

00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:59.899
It means you're against fascism. Right. And if

00:14:59.899 --> 00:15:02.779
you're against being against fascism, guess what?

00:15:02.820 --> 00:15:05.120
You're a fascist. You're a fascist. Yep. Exactly.

00:15:05.779 --> 00:15:08.899
Yeah. When was Antifa found? I don't know. Storming

00:15:08.899 --> 00:15:13.299
the beaches in 19... Right. It's frustrating.

00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.980
But I'll tell you what. We'll try to keep this

00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:19.620
thing on track, and we'll try to diversify. We'll

00:15:19.620 --> 00:15:23.200
try to rap about some other non -political things

00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:27.080
when time allows, or if they just stop doing

00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:29.379
monumentally stupid shit week in and week out,

00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:32.500
we would love to do it. That'll be the day. That'll

00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:34.179
be the day. I think we're in this for at least

00:15:34.179 --> 00:15:39.460
a couple of years until the smoke clears. This

00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:42.059
is titled Big Brother, and we kind of had some

00:15:42.059 --> 00:15:43.600
foreshadowing when we were talking a little bit

00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:47.659
about iRobot and some other things. But I started

00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:52.059
out with a lyric here from a song, and it is,

00:15:52.659 --> 00:15:56.019
I am the eye in the sky looking at you. I can

00:15:56.019 --> 00:15:57.600
read your mind. See, I'd sing it, but I don't

00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:59.379
want, I don't want us to. Can't get copyright

00:15:59.379 --> 00:16:00.720
claimed. Can't get copyright claimed. That's

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.080
going to be bad. So I'm the eye in the sky looking

00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:05.419
at you. I can read your mind. I am the maker

00:16:05.419 --> 00:16:07.860
of rules dealing with fools. I can cheat you

00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:11.039
blind and I don't need to see any more to know

00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:14.539
that I can read your mind looking at you. Wow.

00:16:15.329 --> 00:16:19.509
Those are lyrics from a 1982 song, The Eye in

00:16:19.509 --> 00:16:22.190
the Sky, by the Alan Parsons Project. And no,

00:16:22.309 --> 00:16:24.809
it's not the same Alan Parsons Project that helped

00:16:24.809 --> 00:16:26.950
Dr. Evil put the giant freaking laser on the

00:16:26.950 --> 00:16:32.190
moon. A couple of events happened this past week

00:16:32.190 --> 00:16:36.549
that have me concerned. America's somewhere between

00:16:36.549 --> 00:16:40.720
V for Vendetta and iRobot. So naturally that

00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.139
does not put us in a great place. It all started

00:16:44.139 --> 00:16:47.019
with Musk and his crew acquiring information

00:16:47.019 --> 00:16:50.179
After Donald Trump's controversial election victory

00:16:50.179 --> 00:16:53.360
and yes, I did say it that way for a reason The

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:56.240
price for helping him with the battleground states

00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:01.279
perhaps At any rate, it seems that Homeland Secret

00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:05.019
Service NSA know all maybe more than ever before

00:17:05.019 --> 00:17:09.240
and A certain tech billionaire has more information

00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:11.839
than he'll ever need, and that information is

00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.839
worth billions. With every phone conversation,

00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:20.579
online exchange, email or text, they hear every

00:17:20.579 --> 00:17:25.819
word. This past week, I lost my job. Now, it

00:17:25.819 --> 00:17:28.720
could be as simple as they wanted to make a change,

00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:31.640
whatever, blah blah, they gave me some really

00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:34.920
vague -ass reason. I hated the job setting of

00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.599
a ship, but You know, I have this little podcast.

00:17:38.099 --> 00:17:40.240
And even though I never wanted to make political

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.799
discourse a centerpiece of the show, I've gone

00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:46.140
in pretty hard on that orange guy that sits in

00:17:46.140 --> 00:17:50.400
1600 Pennsylvania. And I mean when he's there.

00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:55.000
Right. When he's not golfing or potentially having

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.240
a stroke somewhere. Or potentially having maybe

00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.579
multiple mini strokes. I don't know. It's changing

00:17:59.579 --> 00:18:04.019
colors. And so anyway, all of a sudden, I'm no

00:18:04.019 --> 00:18:05.880
longer needed. Ultimately, I'm okay with this.

00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:09.299
As I said, the jobs suck big time. Now, I never

00:18:09.299 --> 00:18:11.759
thought that me being critical of an administration

00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.000
could have triggered some sort of flag that may

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.759
have led to my dismissal. However, I had an encounter

00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:20.660
with a friend the other night that made me think

00:18:20.660 --> 00:18:24.019
about it. So he's a military guy, several tours

00:18:24.019 --> 00:18:27.559
under his belt. He, and obviously I cannot mention

00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:31.289
his name because they're... He's exploring legal

00:18:31.289 --> 00:18:34.170
options. So when he told me the story he said

00:18:34.170 --> 00:18:36.990
hey if I want to use this at all I can just keep

00:18:36.990 --> 00:18:39.329
his name out of it. I said sure I can do that

00:18:39.329 --> 00:18:42.529
But at any rate military guy several tours under

00:18:42.529 --> 00:18:45.769
his belt. He held down a couple of jobs and overall

00:18:45.769 --> 00:18:48.950
Just your average Joe with a weird sense of humor,

00:18:48.950 --> 00:18:53.549
right? Well a social media post that was up for

00:18:53.549 --> 00:18:56.549
a very short amount of time got him in hot water

00:18:56.549 --> 00:18:59.819
with his employer and the military now Was his

00:18:59.819 --> 00:19:03.539
joke in the best of taste? No, it definitely

00:19:03.539 --> 00:19:06.839
wasn't. But for those that know him, and know

00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:11.599
his sense of humor, it was just, you knew he

00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:14.220
wasn't serious, right? That's all I'm gonna say.

00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:17.240
So, should it have raised flags that it raised?

00:19:17.619 --> 00:19:20.460
No. Should it have cost a man his job or his

00:19:20.460 --> 00:19:23.599
status in the military? No. Literally a conversation

00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.220
with this guy, and maybe a public apology would

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:29.200
have been enough. for a bad off -color joke,

00:19:29.299 --> 00:19:34.059
right? So, the government is so far up our asses

00:19:34.059 --> 00:19:36.799
these days, it's unreal. Remember, Republicans

00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:38.920
hated big government, they're champions for state

00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:40.980
rights. Well, not so much anymore, and the times

00:19:40.980 --> 00:19:44.720
have changed. I appreciate those who try to legislate

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.240
for change and those that stand on street corners

00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:51.079
and peacefully protest. All I'm saying is that

00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:53.460
they've been doing all this for quite a while.

00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:57.170
It isn't working. Now, I can't... publicly advocate

00:19:57.170 --> 00:20:00.690
for what should come next, although I think most

00:20:00.690 --> 00:20:03.549
of you probably know some folks are doing it

00:20:03.549 --> 00:20:06.349
right now in the city of Chicago. This battle

00:20:06.349 --> 00:20:09.109
against Trump's big brother government can't

00:20:09.109 --> 00:20:12.430
be won with pacifism and deal making. I wonder

00:20:12.430 --> 00:20:15.210
if there are enough serious people left who love

00:20:15.210 --> 00:20:17.329
this country and are willing to go that extra

00:20:17.329 --> 00:20:19.910
mile to ensure our freedoms. We need serious

00:20:19.910 --> 00:20:23.359
people in Congress and We need them in state

00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:24.819
houses and we need them in local government.

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.940
We need them with our activists and we need them

00:20:27.940 --> 00:20:30.640
with your average Joe's on Main Street. We're

00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.380
in a battle for what this country is becoming

00:20:33.380 --> 00:20:36.980
and what it should be. It will be interesting

00:20:36.980 --> 00:20:41.000
to see if the people have the will to fight for

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:44.339
it. Right. Because now it's getting serious.

00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.359
And as I said, Did it potentially lead to my

00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:50.839
dismissal? Did it lead to his? For him, definitely

00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:55.700
yes. For me, perhaps. But anybody that is critical,

00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:59.480
and I'm not saying the people that get on there

00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:01.980
and are like, I got me a big old gun and I'm

00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:04.440
gonna blah, blah, blah, you know, and it is perceived

00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:06.740
as a threat, obviously. You gotta check into

00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:09.579
that person. Right. I get and I understand that.

00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.359
But for other things that can be considered tongue

00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:15.240
-in -cheek, for other things that can just be

00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:19.160
a political statement, that's like people are

00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:23.559
going, people are now gonna have things happen

00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:27.400
to them in their personal lives, in their professional

00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:30.720
lives. Right. To me that seems to be utter bullshit.

00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:34.400
And who's helping us with that? Like this dude,

00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:36.599
he's probably spending thousands of his own dollars

00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:41.759
to get this lawyer to fix things. Right. And

00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.460
it shouldn't be that way. No. And you brought

00:21:45.460 --> 00:21:48.140
up, in the beginning of the show, we brought

00:21:48.140 --> 00:21:52.400
up AI. And it's, first of all, it's a bubble.

00:21:52.900 --> 00:21:55.480
I think it's the same damn bubble as the dot

00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:57.460
-com bubble. And that shit's gonna burst and

00:21:57.460 --> 00:22:01.289
everything's gonna fall because it's not... It's

00:22:01.289 --> 00:22:03.490
not doing what people thought it would. It's

00:22:03.490 --> 00:22:06.589
a neat gimmick, cool. You know, it could plan

00:22:06.589 --> 00:22:10.130
out your day if you want it to. But that's it.

00:22:10.509 --> 00:22:13.289
It's not a multi -trillion dollar gadget that's

00:22:13.289 --> 00:22:15.549
gonna change the world. That's not where it's

00:22:15.549 --> 00:22:18.809
at. It's a bubble and it will burst. Secondly,

00:22:19.809 --> 00:22:24.250
it's scalping everything. It's not only stealing

00:22:24.250 --> 00:22:30.720
IP, it's stealing everything, your data. Your

00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:34.539
data is worth billions Yes, it is the data of

00:22:34.539 --> 00:22:37.359
the people in Porter County or the state of Indiana

00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:40.980
the country of the United States is worth trillions

00:22:40.980 --> 00:22:44.400
That data alone and they're not just scalping

00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:47.920
it to make large language models work better

00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:50.240
They're scalping it to track people you thought

00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:54.180
the Patriot Act Was the end of it? No, mm -hmm

00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:56.960
whether it's an air quotes protecting the kids

00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.160
or it's an air quotes stopping terrorism The

00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.019
United States of America and many large countries

00:23:03.019 --> 00:23:07.720
out there have always used common excuses to

00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.460
track civilian activity. Yes, correct. There

00:23:11.460 --> 00:23:16.940
are CCTV cameras everywhere in this country.

00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:20.440
Yes. And in a lot of countries. And there are

00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:22.940
brand new, and they're called flock cameras.

00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:24.960
On the side of the road, you see them all the

00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:26.819
time. Maybe it doesn't even cross your mind.

00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:29.420
It's a black pole with a black security camera

00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:33.680
and a little solar panel on top. That's a flock

00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.099
security camera. In air quotes, what they're

00:23:37.099 --> 00:23:40.700
meant to do is track license plates to see if

00:23:40.700 --> 00:23:43.700
a stolen car drives by. But what they're doing

00:23:43.700 --> 00:23:48.500
is tracking your movement. Yes, they're tracking

00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:52.160
your movement. So this whole AI thing is not

00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:55.660
trillions worth of trillions of dollars in valuation

00:23:55.660 --> 00:23:59.200
going towards a neat little gimmick. It's going

00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:02.799
into tracking everything. Yes. It's for the power

00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:07.359
of the CIA, the FBI, all of the letter agencies

00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:10.960
in the US government and plenty of governments

00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:14.759
overseas. That's what it's for. Yep. You know,

00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:19.200
if you want to look at how the CIA has treated

00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:23.660
Latin American countries who were Happy to be

00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:25.839
socialist countries, but when they threatened

00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:28.539
capitalism Oh who goes in there and stages a

00:24:28.539 --> 00:24:31.920
coup. Oh, it's the CIA cute how how how fucking

00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:37.559
fun and when black Americans are excellent and

00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:40.910
and they're rising up out of slavery and you

00:24:40.910 --> 00:24:43.710
know, becoming something. Oh, well, what if we

00:24:43.710 --> 00:24:46.450
just put a little crack on the streets? Interesting.

00:24:46.809 --> 00:24:48.829
And how about we invent a new form of slavery

00:24:48.829 --> 00:24:52.470
called, oh, inmate labor? There you go. Interesting

00:24:52.470 --> 00:24:56.789
how that works. It's all connected so tightly.

00:24:57.509 --> 00:25:00.529
And it begs the question, how long has America

00:25:00.529 --> 00:25:04.190
delved into fascism? Because it's not recent.

00:25:04.390 --> 00:25:07.829
It's just publicly recent. Correct. It's been

00:25:07.829 --> 00:25:12.450
going on for decades. Yes. Decades and that puts

00:25:12.450 --> 00:25:15.450
everyone this is something I bring up to Democrat

00:25:15.450 --> 00:25:21.450
lovers all the time and it's What? Would it have

00:25:21.450 --> 00:25:26.650
taken for a blue government? Something that President

00:25:26.650 --> 00:25:29.970
Obama had something that several several other

00:25:29.970 --> 00:25:34.690
You know Democrat presidents had to just fix

00:25:34.690 --> 00:25:38.609
things encode them in the Constitution. Yep Write

00:25:38.609 --> 00:25:41.009
them into law Like, hey, we're gonna make sure

00:25:41.009 --> 00:25:43.049
that, like, this whole checks and balances thing

00:25:43.049 --> 00:25:45.849
does not fall apart. We're gonna make sure that

00:25:45.849 --> 00:25:50.490
women and black Americans and Latinos have rights

00:25:50.490 --> 00:25:55.009
written into law. Was that ever done? No. Obama

00:25:55.009 --> 00:26:00.450
had the House and the Senate for two years. It's

00:26:00.450 --> 00:26:03.650
just, it's insanity. And the reason is, and we'll

00:26:03.650 --> 00:26:05.569
talk about this a little later, follow the money,

00:26:05.869 --> 00:26:08.430
Who are they paid by? They're paid by the same

00:26:08.430 --> 00:26:10.750
corporate and billionaire interests. Same people,

00:26:10.990 --> 00:26:14.750
same shit. The same people. And it's, it's one

00:26:14.750 --> 00:26:16.369
of these things, and I know we've talked about

00:26:16.369 --> 00:26:19.230
it before, where I kind of brought up the point

00:26:19.230 --> 00:26:21.890
of like, I'm pretty sure this, this was inevitable.

00:26:22.589 --> 00:26:26.789
This was inevitable. Yeah. And, and it's, it's

00:26:26.789 --> 00:26:30.849
outstanding to me. In, not in like the all outstanding,

00:26:31.029 --> 00:26:34.299
very cool kind of way. Right. in the, like, I

00:26:34.299 --> 00:26:38.740
cannot believe how far out of whack this shit

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:45.640
is. Correct. Yeah. Like, it's... And it circles

00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.039
back around to the point we made opening the

00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:50.960
show we didn't want this to be a political podcast.

00:26:51.059 --> 00:26:54.460
No. We didn't. But when this is on the top of

00:26:54.460 --> 00:26:57.420
our mind of, like, holy shit, like... Like, things

00:26:57.420 --> 00:27:00.240
are really... Really have the potential to fall

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:02.460
apart over the next couple years even a couple

00:27:02.460 --> 00:27:06.880
months sure How how are we gonna be genuine?

00:27:07.660 --> 00:27:12.700
Talking about big Chungus bad bunny The Easter

00:27:12.700 --> 00:27:15.180
bunny a big bunny I mean no hate to him. Yeah,

00:27:15.180 --> 00:27:18.140
right exactly like you do you boy you do you

00:27:18.140 --> 00:27:21.319
brother? You're a good man. I hear yeah, but

00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:24.559
it's like how can we genuinely we would be disingenuous

00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:27.720
spending our time the first 20 some odd minutes

00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.440
to the show talking about Bad Bunny at the Super

00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:32.279
Bowl and all the backlash, blah, blah, blah.

00:27:33.019 --> 00:27:36.599
When there's just crazier shit happening. Correct.

00:27:36.819 --> 00:27:39.180
Yeah. How is it not on the forefront of more

00:27:39.180 --> 00:27:41.920
people's minds? It should be. And that's, you

00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:47.420
know, there are a lot of a lot of ways that fascism

00:27:47.420 --> 00:27:54.480
creeps into a society. And in doing that. And

00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:57.519
you can look back to the 30s in Germany if you

00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:01.279
want to. But there comes a certain amount of

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:05.160
brainwashing that has to take place. But in addition

00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:08.200
to that, there's a certain amount of apathy.

00:28:08.940 --> 00:28:13.500
Right. Sure. Sure. For nihilism, even. That,

00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:18.779
yeah. And when that happens, if most people are

00:28:18.779 --> 00:28:22.059
still like, ah, well... You know, I can still

00:28:22.059 --> 00:28:24.000
buy things from the grocery store, even though

00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:26.819
it's more expensive, and I can still put some

00:28:26.819 --> 00:28:29.279
square meals on my table and clothe my kids.

00:28:29.779 --> 00:28:31.799
Eh, whatever. And they just forget about it.

00:28:32.140 --> 00:28:35.380
But those same people, you could blink your eyes,

00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:37.960
and then what if mom or dad's without a job?

00:28:38.059 --> 00:28:40.220
What if inflation continues and that extra 10

00:28:40.220 --> 00:28:43.960
or 20 % now all of a sudden is a little bit too

00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:46.839
much? Right. And now you're making cut? It's

00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:50.160
going to affect everybody. As a matter of fact,

00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:54.079
I believe it was Marjorie Taylor Greene who got

00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:56.319
on the news today. I heard about that. And she's

00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:58.859
starting to sound a lot like a Democrat these

00:28:58.859 --> 00:29:03.440
days because it is starting to affect people

00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:06.880
she knows, more importantly, her family. Right,

00:29:06.980 --> 00:29:09.960
and that's the common argument, too, for all

00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:11.940
the anti -abortion people. It's like, oh, you

00:29:11.940 --> 00:29:14.500
know, I know my sister got an abortion, but blah,

00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:17.390
blah, blah. Right. And there were books written.

00:29:17.789 --> 00:29:20.230
There are articles written of like, oh, why the

00:29:20.230 --> 00:29:22.869
anti -abortion group always knows someone whose

00:29:22.869 --> 00:29:25.789
abortion was the only right one. Correct. Right.

00:29:25.789 --> 00:29:28.190
It's like, oh, it doesn't affect you until it

00:29:28.190 --> 00:29:30.890
affects you or your circle. And then it's a problem.

00:29:31.130 --> 00:29:33.910
Yeah. Well, that's how very convenient. Yeah.

00:29:34.369 --> 00:29:36.309
And so I saw that today and it just kind of giggled.

00:29:36.309 --> 00:29:39.470
And I was just like, you know, that that is very

00:29:39.470 --> 00:29:43.329
telling because she often was kind of the biggest

00:29:43.329 --> 00:29:48.250
flag bearer for this president and By her kind

00:29:48.250 --> 00:29:51.549
of going this extra step and saying some things

00:29:51.549 --> 00:29:55.170
like ace getting crazy We need to get government

00:29:55.170 --> 00:30:00.089
back to work. We need the ACA renewed Because

00:30:00.089 --> 00:30:03.269
premiums are getting entirely out of hand There's

00:30:03.269 --> 00:30:05.869
there's a woman she won an election in Arizona.

00:30:05.869 --> 00:30:10.190
She won election. She should be sitting in, number

00:30:10.190 --> 00:30:12.009
one, she should be sitting in Congress. Number

00:30:12.009 --> 00:30:16.509
two, Congress should be working. And the head

00:30:16.509 --> 00:30:20.450
is like Mike Johnson, whatever the hell his name

00:30:20.450 --> 00:30:26.630
is. And they're not in session. And that's the

00:30:26.630 --> 00:30:28.930
reason. That's the reason. She's the flip float

00:30:28.930 --> 00:30:31.809
whether or not the Epstein files get released.

00:30:31.930 --> 00:30:35.789
That's it. That's it. You got Reds trying to

00:30:35.789 --> 00:30:38.700
protect pedophiles. and that's why they're not

00:30:38.700 --> 00:30:41.319
in session. Yeah, that's the only reason. Because

00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.079
your beautiful orange pedophile president, oh

00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.000
my gosh, well what if there's something in there

00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:50.359
that's got his name on it? Oh, there's a lot

00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:52.059
of shit in there that's got his name on it. That's

00:30:52.059 --> 00:30:54.299
why they're not in fucking session. He's probably,

00:30:54.460 --> 00:30:56.700
I'll be honest, he's probably less worried about

00:30:56.700 --> 00:30:59.279
his name being in there and more worried about

00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:01.599
the other names that are in there because those

00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:03.779
people will probably have him whacked. Right.

00:31:04.299 --> 00:31:07.460
Mean that's like it's crazy to think about it

00:31:07.460 --> 00:31:09.539
was so much deeper than it goes much deeper than

00:31:09.539 --> 00:31:12.700
any of us even know and so You know well any

00:31:12.700 --> 00:31:15.259
of this ever see the light of day. I don't know

00:31:15.259 --> 00:31:17.720
yeah, I highly doubt it I think things will be

00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:20.680
so heavily redacted. It won't even matter but

00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:25.920
That's just That's it the the our current environment

00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:28.980
here in this country, and we're just bombarded

00:31:28.980 --> 00:31:31.250
with this shit every day Every day, it's something

00:31:31.250 --> 00:31:36.210
else. And so it's frustrating. There is technically

00:31:36.210 --> 00:31:39.710
no middle America anymore. No. There just isn't

00:31:39.710 --> 00:31:43.849
that aspiration to, I wanna be just a middle

00:31:43.849 --> 00:31:46.109
class citizen where I can have a little house

00:31:46.109 --> 00:31:48.150
with a white picket fence and a dog and two and

00:31:48.150 --> 00:31:51.130
a half kids and see them go off to college. Well,

00:31:51.210 --> 00:31:53.329
good fucking luck. Right, that doesn't exist.

00:31:53.450 --> 00:31:55.849
Good luck with that because that's disappearing

00:31:55.849 --> 00:31:58.720
quickly. Right. And you brought up earlier the

00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:00.819
fact of, like, the people who are brushing this

00:32:00.819 --> 00:32:03.640
all off. Like, oh, I can still buy three square

00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:05.680
meals a day. I'm fine. It doesn't matter that

00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:07.920
much. Well, guess what? The people that are making

00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:10.660
a couple bones less than you per hour can't buy

00:32:10.660 --> 00:32:12.400
three square meals a day. They can't do it. They

00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:14.539
can't afford their rent. Nope. And you know what?

00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:17.420
It's gonna catch up to you, too. Correct. Because

00:32:17.420 --> 00:32:19.579
you're not in the 1%. You're not part of that

00:32:19.579 --> 00:32:21.559
fucking club. You're not in the club. You're

00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:23.799
not in the club, and you're not gonna make it.

00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:26.700
Mm -hmm. Which means shit has to change. Yeah,

00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:29.619
so like i'm supposed to feel bad when someone

00:32:29.619 --> 00:32:32.940
has some foreign car And it's like oh my god

00:32:32.940 --> 00:32:36.599
I can't drive my Land Rover because of the tariffs

00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:39.480
and the part we need is over here And it's going

00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:41.940
to be x amount of dollars and then because it's

00:32:41.940 --> 00:32:44.059
on a tariff or it's got to be imported It's going

00:32:44.059 --> 00:32:46.799
to take six months to get here. So I can't drive

00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:49.759
my car So they have me in this old Ford Focus

00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:53.089
until I can I don't give a shit. Right. But this

00:32:53.089 --> 00:32:56.009
is, once again, the environment that we live

00:32:56.009 --> 00:32:59.210
in because there were enough idiots in this country

00:32:59.210 --> 00:33:02.750
that voted for the Orange Emperor. Right. It's

00:33:02.750 --> 00:33:05.650
simple as that. One plus two equals three all

00:33:05.650 --> 00:33:08.250
the time. Yep. And that's just the way it is.

00:33:08.990 --> 00:33:11.369
But more importantly, it's just kind of this

00:33:11.369 --> 00:33:13.349
information and this information that's leaked

00:33:13.349 --> 00:33:16.049
to them. and not leaked to them. It's just owned

00:33:16.049 --> 00:33:19.589
by them. It's acquired by them through Homeland

00:33:19.589 --> 00:33:23.349
and through NSA and through all of these bots.

00:33:23.609 --> 00:33:28.190
And you can't tell me for one second that Musk

00:33:28.190 --> 00:33:31.440
didn't make a deal with Trump. to help him get

00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:34.960
elected because he could go in and put some sort

00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:37.940
of app or something into the voting systems to

00:33:37.940 --> 00:33:40.319
create it so that all the battleground states,

00:33:40.380 --> 00:33:42.920
Trump comes out ahead and wins the election.

00:33:43.220 --> 00:33:45.259
I know I sound like conspiracy brother right

00:33:45.259 --> 00:33:49.599
now. But... An article came out recently. A former

00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:51.839
Republican, I don't know if it was fundraiser

00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:55.480
or campaign manager, bought the rights to the

00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:57.720
voting systems. Oh my God. In the United States

00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:00.710
of America. Bought the rights to them. Yeah.

00:34:00.849 --> 00:34:03.430
Quoting like, oh, we're going to go forward with

00:34:03.430 --> 00:34:06.049
paper voting only. Oh my god. Oh, interesting.

00:34:06.369 --> 00:34:09.050
Interesting. And you own the machines that count

00:34:09.050 --> 00:34:12.670
them. Oh, very curious. Yep. Very curious. Nothing

00:34:12.670 --> 00:34:15.289
suspicious about that at all. Nope. But here's

00:34:15.289 --> 00:34:18.250
the thing. It's like, OK, I will help you win.

00:34:18.369 --> 00:34:21.349
I will help you get enough votes in these battleground

00:34:21.349 --> 00:34:25.730
states to win. What's the cost? I want the information.

00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:28.420
Right. Which is why he sent all those little

00:34:28.420 --> 00:34:31.900
doge bitches and all these places acquiring data

00:34:31.900 --> 00:34:34.239
that they should not have. Right. And on top

00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:37.199
of all the data, which is worth billions or trillions,

00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:41.900
he went in there and took away all of the government

00:34:41.900 --> 00:34:44.760
agencies or the government employees that were

00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:52.119
investigating Tesla and Twitter for labor violations.

00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:55.300
Yes. Got rid of them. Ah, no labor violations

00:34:55.300 --> 00:34:57.219
because there's no one left to report on them.

00:34:57.500 --> 00:34:59.360
Interesting how that works. It's very interesting.

00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:01.079
Oh, there's no job losses in the country because

00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:02.719
no one's reporting on them. Oh, interesting.

00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:06.000
Yep. Yep. That's just, that's where we're at.

00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:08.800
That's where we're at and it's sad. So, you know,

00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:13.320
at some point here we will open shows with more

00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:15.500
humor, with more fun things. That's what we would

00:35:15.500 --> 00:35:20.039
prefer to do, trust me. But I can't read and

00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:23.409
see and just... have all this shit happening

00:35:23.409 --> 00:35:25.449
around me and not say something about it right

00:35:25.449 --> 00:35:27.989
and have this microphone here and until they

00:35:27.989 --> 00:35:31.590
shut us down or or we get banned or some bullshit

00:35:31.590 --> 00:35:34.289
uh we'll just keep we'll keep talking our stuff

00:35:34.289 --> 00:35:38.090
every week And hopefully I can keep my job and

00:35:38.090 --> 00:35:40.969
they never find out. Right, exactly. I mean,

00:35:41.150 --> 00:35:43.309
if that's the point in the country we are, like

00:35:43.309 --> 00:35:46.110
if the HR of my company comes up to me and is

00:35:46.110 --> 00:35:47.849
like, oh, you know, people, blah, blah, blah,

00:35:47.889 --> 00:35:50.030
I thought this was offensive and then you're

00:35:50.030 --> 00:35:52.769
going to lose your job. Well, now we're shit

00:35:52.769 --> 00:35:55.030
out of luck. Now we're shit out of luck. And

00:35:55.030 --> 00:35:59.030
that's just that. If that's the world we live

00:35:59.030 --> 00:36:01.269
in, then I don't want any part of it. I shouldn't

00:36:01.269 --> 00:36:03.289
say world, because it's just basically this stupid

00:36:03.289 --> 00:36:07.110
country. Right. But there's some options there

00:36:07.110 --> 00:36:11.750
too, which I will be looking into going into

00:36:11.750 --> 00:36:14.510
next year. Right. Because I do have an option

00:36:14.510 --> 00:36:19.190
there. It's just my, you know, being able to

00:36:19.190 --> 00:36:24.460
explore that and work on that. Yeah. But yeah,

00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:27.820
so that's uh, that's all I got on this subject

00:36:27.820 --> 00:36:30.280
I'm in the same boat for this week. How much

00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:33.460
we're comfortable talking about. Oh, yeah Aiden

00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:35.760
I'm telling you I've bit my tongue like three

00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:38.340
times already just be right. No, you can't say

00:36:38.340 --> 00:36:41.480
that don't say that and You know, do we say too

00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:44.000
much already? I don't know. Yeah, we never know

00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:46.780
but you know, hey take take the job I don't have

00:36:46.780 --> 00:36:50.320
anymore right, right? That's that's all that's

00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:55.610
all I'm going to say But anyway, yeah, we're

00:36:55.610 --> 00:37:03.070
gonna take a break and we come back carpe diem

00:37:03.070 --> 00:37:11.889
All right, we are back everybody the mark mo

00:37:11.889 --> 00:37:15.369
show And it's with Aiden, it's with Mark, or

00:37:15.369 --> 00:37:19.469
with, it's with Aiden, and I'm Mark. Hi. We're

00:37:19.469 --> 00:37:21.250
still a little amped up from our opening. We're

00:37:21.250 --> 00:37:23.690
speaking in third person. Yeah, oh god, done.

00:37:23.929 --> 00:37:25.690
If I'm ever that guy, just take me out back,

00:37:25.849 --> 00:37:28.670
I swear to god. At any rate, yeah, we were a

00:37:28.670 --> 00:37:33.550
little amped up from our opener. And so at any

00:37:33.550 --> 00:37:38.289
rate, DMs, Carpe DMs. People send us their DMs,

00:37:38.309 --> 00:37:40.610
we read them on air, answer their questions,

00:37:40.989 --> 00:37:44.449
well, well. We might answer their questions.

00:37:44.690 --> 00:37:47.090
Right. If not contractually obligated, we answer

00:37:47.090 --> 00:37:50.230
your questions. Correct. We receive them, and

00:37:50.230 --> 00:37:52.230
then we go, oh, interesting. We look at them.

00:37:52.250 --> 00:37:54.369
We read them. Certainly. Certainly. We'll read

00:37:54.369 --> 00:37:57.210
anything. Sure. Just about. Oh, yeah. You know,

00:37:57.289 --> 00:38:00.309
will we answer it? Case by case? Exactly. Sure.

00:38:00.530 --> 00:38:02.730
Sure. I think that's it. Does coercion play a

00:38:02.730 --> 00:38:07.190
part? Perhaps. Perhaps. Treat us like a federal

00:38:07.190 --> 00:38:11.070
politician. If you're not paying us, we're not

00:38:11.070 --> 00:38:12.670
going to hear you. We're not going to hear you.

00:38:12.750 --> 00:38:14.929
Yeah. So for example, in my right hand, if I

00:38:14.929 --> 00:38:18.250
had nothing, but then in my left hand, now I'm

00:38:18.250 --> 00:38:20.469
looking at my left hand, there's something interesting

00:38:20.469 --> 00:38:23.489
in my left hand. Sure. It's made of paper, it's

00:38:23.489 --> 00:38:26.849
green, has numbers on it. Or even blue these

00:38:26.849 --> 00:38:32.750
days. Or even blue. $100 bills are blue these

00:38:32.750 --> 00:38:35.599
days. Get out of here. Yeah. Are you serious?

00:38:35.860 --> 00:38:38.380
Yeah, they're more blue. It just shows you how

00:38:38.380 --> 00:38:40.960
often I hold a hundred dollar bill in my hand.

00:38:41.420 --> 00:38:44.460
Like I would see when I'd be like, oh, wow. What

00:38:44.460 --> 00:38:46.159
is that? It just kind of means cash is going

00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:51.239
out of fashion. Well, yeah, that also. That for

00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:53.139
sure. What we're trying to say is if you had

00:38:53.139 --> 00:38:56.460
a bag of gold in your hand and you said to us,

00:38:56.639 --> 00:38:58.440
boy, this bag of gold would look really good

00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:01.599
in your hand. And we would say, oh, my goodness,

00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:04.780
do you have a question for me? That's how it

00:39:04.780 --> 00:39:09.000
works. That's exactly how it works. So I'll start

00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:11.139
with mine. I got a couple of quick ones here.

00:39:12.139 --> 00:39:16.079
My first one is from at secret squirrel. Eyes

00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:19.059
are all around Mo show guys. Be careful. My sister

00:39:19.059 --> 00:39:21.340
was critical of the president and she was laid

00:39:21.340 --> 00:39:25.300
off last week. Yeah. Yeah. We were just talking

00:39:25.300 --> 00:39:31.420
about that, whether through AI or through. some

00:39:31.420 --> 00:39:37.380
right -wing crazy doxing or whatever. It is a

00:39:37.380 --> 00:39:41.360
tough time to be a fan of the First Amendment.

00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:44.480
Indeed it is. It really is. I would agree. Yeah.

00:39:45.019 --> 00:39:49.440
So be be very careful, so to speak. We are hearing

00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:52.860
from at White Sox Jerry. Oh, my man. I thought

00:39:52.860 --> 00:39:55.780
he was done for the year. Yeah, right. I am very

00:39:55.780 --> 00:39:58.780
much enjoying the Cubs demise in the postseason.

00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:01.989
Well, did you write that for the last game? Of

00:40:01.989 --> 00:40:05.650
course, I am reminded of the 220 games my team

00:40:05.650 --> 00:40:09.070
has lost in the last two seasons. Oh, the pain.

00:40:09.710 --> 00:40:12.309
Ah, the pain indeed. You see, Jerry, usually

00:40:12.309 --> 00:40:15.269
I'm pretty empathetic. And, you know, I feel

00:40:15.269 --> 00:40:17.150
with you. You're still a Chicago guy, I feel

00:40:17.150 --> 00:40:19.570
with you. But then you shit on the Cubs and all

00:40:19.570 --> 00:40:21.610
of a sudden I'm laughing at your 220 losses.

00:40:22.230 --> 00:40:25.570
Oh, for sure. I got nothing left for you, Jerry.

00:40:25.670 --> 00:40:28.989
Yeah. All I'm saying is I'm happy to see 330

00:40:28.989 --> 00:40:31.969
next year. That's about right. Yeah, we're gonna

00:40:31.969 --> 00:40:35.590
be up to 330 for sure. That team is utter trash.

00:40:36.409 --> 00:40:40.269
The next one is at DarkAngel666. What is the

00:40:40.269 --> 00:40:43.210
scariest movie you guys have ever seen? Oh, great

00:40:43.210 --> 00:40:45.889
question. It is spooky season. Good timing on

00:40:45.889 --> 00:40:48.769
that. It very much is. I would say, it's tough

00:40:48.769 --> 00:40:51.070
to say right because there have been a lot of

00:40:51.070 --> 00:40:54.550
movies that have scared the shit out of me. and

00:40:54.550 --> 00:40:58.170
I know that the point at which I watched them

00:40:58.170 --> 00:41:01.170
influences it, because the first time I saw the

00:41:01.170 --> 00:41:04.489
Insidious movie, I was a teenager, and that,

00:41:04.829 --> 00:41:06.670
when I first saw the Insidious movies, or the

00:41:06.670 --> 00:41:08.550
first time I even saw the Paranormal Activity

00:41:08.550 --> 00:41:13.650
movie, that was the scariest movie I'd ever seen

00:41:13.650 --> 00:41:17.969
at that point. Paranormal Activity 1 and Insidious

00:41:17.969 --> 00:41:22.360
have got to be on that list for sure. But I don't

00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:25.099
know if recency bias plays into it or not. I

00:41:25.099 --> 00:41:27.679
would say I really liked the smile movies They

00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:31.400
had some good suspense and just like horror pure

00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:36.679
horror to them um God that that's gotta be up

00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:39.420
there. I'm trying to think what else I know the

00:41:39.420 --> 00:41:43.380
God, what is the one exorcism movie or not exorcism

00:41:43.380 --> 00:41:49.329
the one? the one movie with the Liam Neeson and

00:41:49.329 --> 00:41:52.389
he's like taking apart the body Mmm, whatever

00:41:52.389 --> 00:41:54.969
it is or no, it's not Liam Neeson something.

00:41:55.130 --> 00:41:58.730
They're doing an autopsy Okay, hold on. I'm gonna

00:41:58.730 --> 00:42:00.829
do some life. It's not it's not the right is

00:42:00.829 --> 00:42:06.630
it? No Cuz I cuz an autopsy of Jane Doe. Oh Yeah,

00:42:06.630 --> 00:42:09.809
I did not see that 2016 movie. Okay, very very

00:42:09.809 --> 00:42:12.570
good. Okay. Yes autopsy of Jane Doe I think would

00:42:12.570 --> 00:42:16.030
be on that as well Good to know. Yes, good to

00:42:16.030 --> 00:42:19.949
know Yeah, I For me, I don't know. I've seen

00:42:19.949 --> 00:42:22.630
so many that I try to think back on what might

00:42:22.630 --> 00:42:25.440
have been scarier and i don't think i would be

00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:27.900
as scared by today it's like one of those movies

00:42:27.900 --> 00:42:30.940
that's super scary but then when you know all

00:42:30.940 --> 00:42:33.440
of those parts then you watch it again then it's

00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:35.420
almost more disappointing because it's like oh

00:42:35.420 --> 00:42:37.059
well now it's not good because all the parts

00:42:37.059 --> 00:42:39.980
that really made me jump or made my heart race

00:42:39.980 --> 00:42:42.739
or any of that sort of stuff it won't the second

00:42:42.739 --> 00:42:44.539
or the third time because you know the beats

00:42:44.989 --> 00:42:48.010
Because I know yeah, so that that's always a

00:42:48.010 --> 00:42:51.289
disappointing part But when I saw the Blair Witch

00:42:51.289 --> 00:42:54.210
project and theater for the first time all right

00:42:54.210 --> 00:42:57.230
Because everything that is haunting and scary

00:42:57.230 --> 00:43:01.769
is what you don't see about what they're experiencing

00:43:01.769 --> 00:43:04.969
and they do it in such a documentary kind of

00:43:04.969 --> 00:43:08.250
way where they're in these woods and there's

00:43:08.250 --> 00:43:10.250
so much anxiety and they're panicking because

00:43:10.250 --> 00:43:13.130
they can't get out and they're just doing loops

00:43:13.130 --> 00:43:16.300
and and And then like one guy disappears. And

00:43:16.300 --> 00:43:20.219
where did he go? And it really they do a really

00:43:20.219 --> 00:43:23.679
good job of making it seem real and making it

00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:26.980
seem like you're there in that moment. And it

00:43:26.980 --> 00:43:29.260
was terrifying. Yeah, I literally was on the

00:43:29.260 --> 00:43:31.760
edge of my seat and especially at towards the

00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:33.860
end of the movie. And then she's running around

00:43:33.860 --> 00:43:35.960
and she's by herself. And then she thinks she's

00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:38.380
safe and oopsie. No, she's not. And then the

00:43:38.380 --> 00:43:40.659
movie ends. Right. And you're like, well, hell

00:43:40.659 --> 00:43:43.659
now, did they do a sequel? Yep. Did it suck?

00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:47.800
Yes. But that original just still holds. Right.

00:43:48.099 --> 00:43:50.139
Because it's like, after that, it's like, I don't

00:43:50.139 --> 00:43:52.539
need a sequel. I don't need you to be like, look,

00:43:52.659 --> 00:43:54.400
I'm not sitting at home and be like, I really

00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:56.420
want to see what it is that scares the absolute

00:43:56.420 --> 00:43:58.480
shit out of them. I don't want to know. That

00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:00.760
was part, that's part of what made it so goddamn

00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:03.699
scary. Right, right. That I don't, I don't need

00:44:03.699 --> 00:44:07.239
that. There's no payoff for me. in that sense.

00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:10.460
Because chances are it's a 50 -50. You could

00:44:10.460 --> 00:44:13.039
show me something that could be utterly horrific

00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:15.900
or terrifying. Or you could show me something

00:44:15.900 --> 00:44:19.480
like the end of so many horror movies where you

00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:22.099
just get there and you're like, oh wow, yeah,

00:44:22.099 --> 00:44:25.059
they must have been short on the budget. Or the

00:44:25.059 --> 00:44:28.159
writer got lazy and it just sucks. And I don't

00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:32.179
want that. And so I saw that as one piece of

00:44:32.179 --> 00:44:35.920
perfection to be left alone. And that's how I

00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:37.880
felt. That's how I felt about that one. So it

00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:40.440
was really, really well done. Of course, you

00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:42.500
have the original Halloween. And that was scary

00:44:42.500 --> 00:44:44.659
because when I saw it, I was a kid. I was young.

00:44:44.699 --> 00:44:46.920
I wasn't supposed to see it. But of course, in

00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:50.659
the 1980s, you know, some kid in school will

00:44:50.659 --> 00:44:54.239
be like, hey, I have my mom and dad's VHS in

00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:58.159
my backpack. Ooh, what did you get? I got Halloween.

00:44:59.150 --> 00:45:02.250
cool can we come over and watch it yes you know

00:45:02.250 --> 00:45:03.949
and that's how we would watch things who are

00:45:03.949 --> 00:45:06.170
supposed to watch right we didn't have the internet

00:45:06.170 --> 00:45:08.969
you know we didn't have smart TVs we had stealing

00:45:08.969 --> 00:45:12.090
mom and dad yeah you know we're having an older

00:45:12.090 --> 00:45:14.010
brother sister go into the tape store and get

00:45:14.010 --> 00:45:16.769
the movie we actually wanted to say that's how

00:45:16.769 --> 00:45:18.969
we would do it so yeah or the original Friday

00:45:18.969 --> 00:45:22.369
the 13th which in itself was more cheesy than

00:45:22.369 --> 00:45:26.909
anything But the end of that movie is terrifying

00:45:26.909 --> 00:45:29.090
and when you're at a friend's house and you're

00:45:29.090 --> 00:45:32.269
watching the movie and You're sitting there and

00:45:32.269 --> 00:45:35.429
it's the end that his dad has seen it. So he

00:45:35.429 --> 00:45:37.789
knows what's coming up So he leaves the house

00:45:37.789 --> 00:45:40.750
and he goes outside and around to the back basement

00:45:40.750 --> 00:45:45.690
window and he waits for Jason to jump out of

00:45:45.690 --> 00:45:47.989
the lake and grab this girl the canoe and trust

00:45:47.989 --> 00:45:51.110
me Absolute perfection the way it was filmed.

00:45:51.389 --> 00:45:54.429
She's in it. It's like there's this calming music

00:45:54.429 --> 00:45:56.869
like she's a survivor She's on this beautiful

00:45:56.869 --> 00:45:59.889
lake in the morning in a canoe. She thinks she's

00:45:59.889 --> 00:46:02.789
safe She thinks she survived and then jumps out

00:46:02.789 --> 00:46:04.809
of the water like BAM It just hits you today

00:46:04.809 --> 00:46:07.269
and it's like the music changes and he's grabbing

00:46:07.269 --> 00:46:09.969
her into the water and Right as he jumps out

00:46:09.969 --> 00:46:12.150
of the water that dad could not have timed it

00:46:12.150 --> 00:46:16.150
any better rap rap rap on the window There were

00:46:16.150 --> 00:46:19.210
eight of us down there really quickly there were

00:46:19.210 --> 00:46:21.230
only six down there because me and this kid Andre

00:46:21.230 --> 00:46:24.599
ran out the back door and down the street I'm

00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:28.099
great. We were friends. I will miss you, but

00:46:28.099 --> 00:46:31.320
I'm going to survive." And I ran with him down

00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:33.719
the... We were all the way down the block. Like

00:46:33.719 --> 00:46:37.320
a snap. And we were like, what was that? Oh my

00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:38.960
God. It was the survival instinct. It was the

00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:41.300
survival... And I survived. I survived. And none

00:46:41.300 --> 00:46:43.619
of those other guys did. Yeah. Human self -preservation

00:46:43.619 --> 00:46:47.699
is a hell of a tool. Oh, it really is. And you

00:46:47.699 --> 00:46:50.139
were talking about for a second there, the movies

00:46:50.139 --> 00:46:53.610
that just don't have the ending payoff. Right.

00:46:53.829 --> 00:46:55.849
And it ruins some movies. Yeah. We were talking

00:46:55.849 --> 00:47:00.369
about Smile being one of them, where just like

00:47:00.369 --> 00:47:02.369
everything up until about the last 10 minutes

00:47:02.369 --> 00:47:05.969
was so excellent. Yes. And then the last 10 minutes

00:47:05.969 --> 00:47:10.090
is just like, ah, but come on. And I had the

00:47:10.090 --> 00:47:14.369
same experience watching Insidious. OK. Where

00:47:15.139 --> 00:47:17.559
The the very end of the movie you like finally

00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:20.460
see the demon and it's just like some dude wearing

00:47:20.460 --> 00:47:22.780
like red and black Face paint and it's like oh,

00:47:22.940 --> 00:47:25.880
it's just some dude But I want to give props

00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:28.139
where props are due insidious the red door I

00:47:28.139 --> 00:47:30.800
believe is the third of the movies came out in

00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:34.139
2023. Yeah, really really good. Really good.

00:47:34.139 --> 00:47:36.900
Really good I enjoyed I think I in that series.

00:47:36.900 --> 00:47:39.219
I enjoyed the red door the most I I would agree

00:47:39.389 --> 00:47:42.530
Totally. It was very good. Excellent movie. Excellent

00:47:42.530 --> 00:47:46.010
question, though. By all means. Perfect for the

00:47:46.010 --> 00:47:47.869
season. Yeah, make sure you send us another one,

00:47:47.949 --> 00:47:51.090
Dark Angel. Last, certainly not least, at Stoner

00:47:51.090 --> 00:47:56.110
Stanley 420. Our boy. Where are you, Momo? Is

00:47:56.110 --> 00:48:00.929
Alan lost? No fun times last week. Oh, we had

00:48:00.929 --> 00:48:02.789
our bye. That's right. We had our bye. The bye

00:48:02.789 --> 00:48:06.489
week. No fun times last week. I had a thing and

00:48:06.489 --> 00:48:10.590
couldn't see. I blame the fish. Brother, get

00:48:10.590 --> 00:48:15.329
out of the aquarium. I really wish I knew how

00:48:15.329 --> 00:48:19.889
to somehow adjust that. Right. See, we're not

00:48:19.889 --> 00:48:23.389
time travelers. We couldn't go back and had a

00:48:23.389 --> 00:48:27.349
thing that you could see. Right, correct. How

00:48:27.349 --> 00:48:31.030
do you have a thing and you can't see it? I guess

00:48:31.030 --> 00:48:34.489
we have air and we can't see it. That's true.

00:48:34.829 --> 00:48:37.409
Not to get too philosophical on you, Stan. He's

00:48:37.409 --> 00:48:40.570
gonna have a... He's gonna have a little... A

00:48:40.570 --> 00:48:44.409
little puff -puff paranoia. That is very... That's

00:48:44.409 --> 00:48:46.789
kind of what's going on there. I'm just wondering

00:48:46.789 --> 00:48:48.829
what fish... I mean, he lives in a van down by

00:48:48.829 --> 00:48:50.409
the river, so... The river's got fish. Could

00:48:50.409 --> 00:48:53.070
be a fish he's talking to. Right. Which is very

00:48:53.070 --> 00:48:54.949
possible. But he couldn't... What was the thing

00:48:54.949 --> 00:48:58.690
he couldn't see? It's a mystery. He had a thing

00:48:58.690 --> 00:49:02.409
and couldn't see. He couldn't see when he had

00:49:02.409 --> 00:49:04.730
the thing when he had a thing, but he's got the

00:49:04.730 --> 00:49:07.730
fun times back this week, right? So which could

00:49:07.730 --> 00:49:10.690
open his third eye maybe? Yeah, your guess is

00:49:10.690 --> 00:49:12.469
a good as I don't know if he's much of a shroomer,

00:49:12.469 --> 00:49:15.079
but I don't know. Stanley, you're going to have

00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:17.860
to give us more information. We're a little bit

00:49:17.860 --> 00:49:20.619
worried there. But yeah, that was our bye week

00:49:20.619 --> 00:49:22.699
last week. We always do a bye week in between

00:49:22.699 --> 00:49:25.400
seasons to help us regroup. And there are a couple

00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:28.400
of different things this week that you'll notice.

00:49:28.460 --> 00:49:30.920
There'll be no review preview this week. Instead,

00:49:31.420 --> 00:49:34.980
we're reviving whether it's kind of on again,

00:49:34.980 --> 00:49:36.559
off again, or if it's going to be back for a

00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:39.260
little bit. The Reddit rabbit hole. We did the

00:49:39.260 --> 00:49:41.539
Reddit rabbit hole. Aiden goes down that hole.

00:49:43.379 --> 00:49:46.380
And I'm glad he returns. Sometimes we have to

00:49:46.380 --> 00:49:48.719
look for him. Exactly. We used to have a spelunker

00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:51.340
on hand who could go find him. It takes a professional

00:49:51.340 --> 00:49:54.139
to actually come back. It really does. It does

00:49:54.139 --> 00:49:57.340
speak a lot for you. So yeah, down the Reddit

00:49:57.340 --> 00:50:02.619
rabbit hole we're going to do this week. I think

00:50:02.619 --> 00:50:04.239
it's going to be pretty good. And then the Fry

00:50:04.239 --> 00:50:07.099
Guy fry review. We're going to review something,

00:50:07.659 --> 00:50:09.980
but it's not going to be fries. But it's still

00:50:09.980 --> 00:50:11.840
the guy review. But it's still the guy review.

00:50:11.980 --> 00:50:14.840
We're still going to review something. But we'll

00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:17.559
let that carrot dangle for a bit. Yeah, for sure.

00:50:17.739 --> 00:50:21.000
For sure. Instead, we're going to get to Aidan's

00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:25.059
DMs here. I've got a DM here from Battle Bro.

00:50:25.900 --> 00:50:28.260

me? Yeah, for a hundred dollars. It was for a

00:50:41.889 --> 00:50:44.750
million. I don't want to undersell myself. Yeah

00:50:44.750 --> 00:50:47.690
for a million. I meant a million, right? I just

00:50:47.690 --> 00:50:49.570
want to see one of those hundred dollar bills

00:50:49.570 --> 00:50:52.090
Are you kidding me? I would do Columbine twice

00:50:52.090 --> 00:50:54.909
for a hundred dollars. Oh, yeah, man I just put

00:50:54.909 --> 00:50:57.170
them on the street. I'll get in my car insane

00:50:57.170 --> 00:51:02.909
thing to say Yeah, would you fight a hundred

00:51:02.909 --> 00:51:05.489
ten -year -olds for a milli and instead I'm gonna

00:51:05.489 --> 00:51:09.099
take them out for a hundred bucks Where's my

00:51:09.099 --> 00:51:11.300
$100? It's like, fuck, we didn't mean like ice,

00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:15.139
bro. Exactly. Hey, hey -o. Oh. Keep that salt

00:51:15.139 --> 00:51:19.539
away from me. Yeah, I'd fight him. Oh, for sure.

00:51:19.860 --> 00:51:21.840
I'd fight him. They're going down. Yeah, especially

00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:24.920
if it's like, if it's meant to happen, like if

00:51:24.920 --> 00:51:28.539
someone's got to fight him for a milli, absolutely

00:51:28.539 --> 00:51:32.199
I'll be that guy. Yeah. 110 year olds? Bro, 10

00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:35.710
year olds are tiny. Yeah, they're tiny and they're

00:51:35.710 --> 00:51:38.269
annoying. So that's gonna be my fuel. That's

00:51:38.269 --> 00:51:41.650
it Yeah, you get the anger. Yeah, there's a yeah,

00:51:41.650 --> 00:51:44.190
those kids are like, hey, you know, it's really

00:51:44.190 --> 00:51:47.170
cool guys It's super cool that my you know, I

00:51:47.170 --> 00:51:50.969
get to play the video games for another 15 minutes

00:51:50.969 --> 00:51:53.570
Billy hit him with the fortnight dance. Yes,

00:51:53.590 --> 00:51:55.750
I'm gonna do the fortnight dance mom sex. Yeah

00:51:55.750 --> 00:51:58.769
15 minutes. That's my best time Because I tried

00:51:58.769 --> 00:52:01.949
the dishes today Yeah, I will punch that kid.

00:52:02.230 --> 00:52:05.829
Yeah, no question A 110 year old? Yeah, easily

00:52:05.829 --> 00:52:08.710
110 year olds. Because you know what, it's not

00:52:08.710 --> 00:52:11.590
like I'm surrounded by them. There's no stipulation

00:52:11.590 --> 00:52:14.750
that I'm surrounded by them. Because 110 year

00:52:14.750 --> 00:52:19.030
olds, that's still a lot of pounds of human beings.

00:52:19.070 --> 00:52:22.670
Sure. But if they're just like at the end of

00:52:22.670 --> 00:52:26.909
the road coming at me, I think I have the tactics

00:52:26.909 --> 00:52:30.010
about me to like take one, take one, take one,

00:52:30.010 --> 00:52:33.760
you know, just take some down. Oh, sure. And

00:52:33.760 --> 00:52:36.000
then however many run away, well, they're disqualified,

00:52:36.119 --> 00:52:38.079
I would imagine. I'm not sure what the rules

00:52:38.079 --> 00:52:40.880
of this engagement are. Right, there are no rules.

00:52:41.099 --> 00:52:42.800
Right, if there's no DQ, guess what? I'll hunt

00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:46.579
you down. That's fair. I'll hunt you down. Yeah.

00:52:46.579 --> 00:52:49.199
I'll get my Millie, bro. I'm in battle, bro.

00:52:49.300 --> 00:52:52.420
Sign me up. I'm in. Evil Genie, with another

00:52:52.420 --> 00:52:57.860
DM here, I offer you reincarnation. Here's the

00:52:57.860 --> 00:53:02.610
catch. You remain yourself. and you restart life

00:53:02.610 --> 00:53:06.190
from the age of 13, doing what you've already

00:53:06.190 --> 00:53:09.730
done and knowing what you know today. Do you

00:53:09.730 --> 00:53:14.949
accept? Uh, okay. I have a question. Knowing

00:53:14.949 --> 00:53:17.969
what I know and all that stuff, am I allowed

00:53:17.969 --> 00:53:21.489
to change things? I would imagine so. It's reincarnation.

00:53:21.510 --> 00:53:23.829
It's a new life. So if I'm back and it's just

00:53:23.829 --> 00:53:26.650
like, it's like a video game and I get to respawn

00:53:26.650 --> 00:53:29.230
at, what, 13 or whatever you said? Yeah, 13.

00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:34.119
and i can make changes i would take it i would

00:53:34.119 --> 00:53:36.300
take it but i'd have to be careful so here for

00:53:36.300 --> 00:53:42.500
example um i met someone i married her and things

00:53:42.500 --> 00:53:44.019
of course at the beginning like most marriage

00:53:44.019 --> 00:53:46.420
is very great and beautiful and wonderful great

00:53:46.420 --> 00:53:50.079
family four kids i would still want the four

00:53:50.079 --> 00:53:55.360
kids sure i don't not want to undo that somehow

00:53:55.360 --> 00:53:58.880
right butterfly effect right right So that's

00:53:58.880 --> 00:54:01.320
the thing you have to be careful with. You know,

00:54:01.320 --> 00:54:04.099
for example, I've passed up on jobs and opportunities

00:54:04.099 --> 00:54:06.460
and things like that. Not that I have regrets,

00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:08.239
but, you know, you always think like, hey, if

00:54:08.239 --> 00:54:11.699
I had done that, man, I really would have been

00:54:11.699 --> 00:54:17.460
like either wealthy or sure. And so I don't I

00:54:17.460 --> 00:54:19.940
wouldn't want to mess that up. You know what

00:54:19.940 --> 00:54:24.360
I mean? Right. Right. Oh, God. But it's tough.

00:54:24.500 --> 00:54:27.639
It's tough. Right. Because my first thought Being

00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:31.019
asked this question this DM my first thought

00:54:31.019 --> 00:54:33.579
was like oh shit Well the second I turn 18 all

00:54:33.579 --> 00:54:36.559
my money's going into Nvidia and and Bitcoin

00:54:36.559 --> 00:54:38.579
uh -huh, and then I'll cash out at some point

00:54:38.579 --> 00:54:43.139
I'll be I'll be fine for a while But then I would

00:54:43.139 --> 00:54:47.039
still like I'm I'm happier today than I was six

00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:51.579
years or seven years ago, okay, and Because there's

00:54:51.579 --> 00:54:55.480
there's been some really really low lows Especially

00:54:55.480 --> 00:54:59.500
my late teenage early 20s years sure so like

00:54:59.500 --> 00:55:04.559
would I still? Would I still endure those? To

00:55:04.559 --> 00:55:08.139
get to where I am today would I change things

00:55:08.139 --> 00:55:12.719
to subvert that and try and like Try and regain

00:55:12.719 --> 00:55:16.199
the timeline at some point like I I don't know

00:55:16.480 --> 00:55:18.639
You know because there's so much you could do

00:55:18.639 --> 00:55:21.599
knowing what you know right to go back and be

00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:24.099
like oh easy I can just buy Apple and video and

00:55:24.099 --> 00:55:27.159
Bitcoin, and I'll be fine for life. Yeah But

00:55:27.159 --> 00:55:30.079
then like would how how would wealth change your

00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:32.659
life, right? Would you stay at that shitty job?

00:55:32.699 --> 00:55:34.559
Would you have met the people you'd have met?

00:55:35.199 --> 00:55:37.440
Right interesting. It's very interesting. I think

00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:39.880
I would take the offer because then you know

00:55:39.880 --> 00:55:43.420
when I when I die in this life, whether that's

00:55:43.420 --> 00:55:46.820
at a ripe old age or before that, for whatever

00:55:46.820 --> 00:55:50.659
reason, I would just get to be me again, but

00:55:50.659 --> 00:55:54.340
knowing what I know. So I think it's a good opportunity.

00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:58.599
I think it would just be, it'd be tough on how

00:55:58.599 --> 00:56:01.679
to play it. It would be very tough. Yeah. I would

00:56:01.679 --> 00:56:04.460
take it, but I would also have the rest of this

00:56:04.460 --> 00:56:07.679
life to consider how to treat it. Right. Correct.

00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:10.789
Yeah. you know because the troubles and the tribulations

00:56:10.789 --> 00:56:13.869
and things of that nature it it for better for

00:56:13.869 --> 00:56:16.409
worse to help make us who we are it forms you

00:56:16.409 --> 00:56:21.150
yeah so if you somehow change that and then it

00:56:21.150 --> 00:56:23.050
changes something else and changes something

00:56:23.050 --> 00:56:28.849
else it kind of goes back to the doc Brown theory

00:56:28.849 --> 00:56:32.789
from Back to the Future that creates an alternate

00:56:32.789 --> 00:56:36.170
reality that states that if there's this linear

00:56:36.170 --> 00:56:39.849
line and this is reality, this is your existence,

00:56:40.489 --> 00:56:43.130
but you're able to go back and, you know, or

00:56:43.130 --> 00:56:45.550
you had taken road A, now you get the opportunity,

00:56:45.690 --> 00:56:48.010
oh, I'm going to go road B, now all of a sudden

00:56:48.010 --> 00:56:51.289
there's that split off. And naturally, no matter

00:56:51.289 --> 00:56:53.349
how many things remain the same or things that

00:56:53.349 --> 00:56:55.210
will be different, it's something completely

00:56:55.210 --> 00:56:57.349
different anyway. Right. Right. And there's like

00:56:57.349 --> 00:57:02.510
the three paradoxes of time travel. There's like

00:57:02.510 --> 00:57:05.210
the multiverse. There's the split timeline. There's

00:57:05.210 --> 00:57:07.949
the fixed timeline. And it's just like, well,

00:57:07.969 --> 00:57:11.489
what would it really be? Because as far as reincarnation

00:57:11.489 --> 00:57:13.590
goes, if you're just like time warped back to

00:57:13.590 --> 00:57:16.989
when you were 13 in the exact point, it would

00:57:16.989 --> 00:57:20.289
just be a split timeline. Yep. And that's just

00:57:20.289 --> 00:57:23.599
how it would be. Because you would know extra

00:57:23.599 --> 00:57:28.059
50 years of things correct as a 13 year old of

00:57:28.059 --> 00:57:30.679
course it's gonna split off somewhere for sure

00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:34.360
right 100 % it's like hey I think the 85 Bears

00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:37.139
are gonna win it all this year right exactly

00:57:37.139 --> 00:57:41.039
exactly like how do you know and is that and

00:57:41.039 --> 00:57:46.079
is that ultimately what you use it for you know

00:57:46.079 --> 00:57:49.460
ultimately are you kind of like right now yeah

00:57:49.460 --> 00:57:53.460
I remember this team won this year So I'm just

00:57:53.460 --> 00:57:57.639
gonna bet money here, and then just like a humongous

00:57:57.639 --> 00:58:01.059
30 -year parlay, and just roll this into this,

00:58:01.099 --> 00:58:02.320
and this, and this, and all of a sudden have

00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:04.380
millions of dollars and be like, oh, well, I'm

00:58:04.380 --> 00:58:06.480
gonna keep my life as much as I can the same

00:58:06.480 --> 00:58:08.000
way, and now I'll just have money instead of

00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:10.960
having no money. Right. But is it plausible?

00:58:11.039 --> 00:58:13.059
But is it plausible? Butterfly effect, is it

00:58:13.059 --> 00:58:16.980
plausible? And if, in fact, you made that decision

00:58:16.980 --> 00:58:20.179
to place that bet, then does that somehow affect

00:58:20.179 --> 00:58:22.659
the outcome of that game? Right. Because you

00:58:22.659 --> 00:58:24.960
place a bet that was not placed originally. Right.

00:58:24.960 --> 00:58:28.579
Or even if you inject money into a stock, the

00:58:28.579 --> 00:58:31.260
stock will change. It will gain in value. Right.

00:58:31.860 --> 00:58:34.420
What does that butterfly effect happen? Well,

00:58:34.420 --> 00:58:37.159
exactly. So that did a lot to consider there.

00:58:37.980 --> 00:58:42.440
Final DM I received today. Creepy Gru. Coming

00:58:42.440 --> 00:58:46.300
through, my man. If you had the power to domesticate

00:58:46.300 --> 00:58:49.599
one animal, similar to how dogs or cats are,

00:58:49.869 --> 00:58:54.690
Which animal would you choose? Do you have thoughts?

00:58:54.929 --> 00:58:57.469
I do have thoughts. I think like the first idea

00:58:57.469 --> 00:59:00.750
I had was like foxes Because foxes are kind of

00:59:00.750 --> 00:59:03.309
like that interesting in between where it's like

00:59:03.309 --> 00:59:06.429
kind of half dog half cat But then they're they're

00:59:06.429 --> 00:59:08.730
a feral right there. Yeah, they're out in the

00:59:08.730 --> 00:59:11.889
world. They're wild animals But it seems like

00:59:11.889 --> 00:59:14.389
they would just be like kind of cute little companions.

00:59:14.389 --> 00:59:17.429
You could still play fetch with them like a dog

00:59:17.739 --> 00:59:19.960
But then you could also kind of just like fuck

00:59:19.960 --> 00:59:22.079
off and let them do their thing sit in the windowsill

00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:25.000
like a cat And I think that'd be a neat in between

00:59:25.000 --> 00:59:28.539
like my first thought is foxes. Uh -huh But then

00:59:28.539 --> 00:59:31.880
like does it have to be quadrupedal, you know?

00:59:32.539 --> 00:59:35.000
Does it have to be? Does it have to be a living

00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:38.900
animal? Could I choose like a kiwi, right? Something

00:59:38.900 --> 00:59:41.159
or something anything that's going extinct an

00:59:41.159 --> 00:59:44.460
emu Have you seen that one video of that one

00:59:44.460 --> 00:59:47.760
like whacked out Australian guy and he's walking

00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:52.400
his emu on a leash? Across the street. It's hilarious.

00:59:52.699 --> 00:59:55.679
He's walking his emu across the street on a leash

00:59:55.679 --> 00:59:58.440
and some dude comes up to him filming He's like

00:59:58.440 --> 01:00:01.360
what what you doing, mate? Like what you do?

01:00:01.559 --> 01:00:06.949
It's like I'm walking my emu can It's like, you've

01:00:06.949 --> 01:00:08.969
got this bloody bird with you, and he's like,

01:00:09.210 --> 01:00:14.030
it's a fucking emu! His name is Blathers, and

01:00:14.030 --> 01:00:16.829
he's an asshole! And you can see there's, like,

01:00:16.989 --> 01:00:20.269
peck marks on his jacket. Oh, no. And he's like,

01:00:20.590 --> 01:00:22.449
the dude recording, he's like, oh, you're fucked

01:00:22.449 --> 01:00:26.579
up, cunt. He's like, fuck off! That's funny.

01:00:26.619 --> 01:00:29.340
It is a hilarious video. I don't think I would

01:00:29.340 --> 01:00:32.139
choose emus because not only did Australia lose

01:00:32.139 --> 01:00:35.360
the war to the emus. They did. They're huge birds.

01:00:35.719 --> 01:00:37.760
It's like an ostrich size. That bird will jack

01:00:37.760 --> 01:00:41.860
you up. Yeah, if it's if it's not foxes, my first

01:00:41.860 --> 01:00:43.820
thought would be like pigeons, because pigeons

01:00:43.820 --> 01:00:46.599
are always like already half domesticated. Yep.

01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:48.199
Oh, yeah. That's why you can just walk past them

01:00:48.199 --> 01:00:50.389
on the street and they're chilling. Correct pigeons

01:00:50.389 --> 01:00:53.090
were domesticated and we just fell off and we

01:00:53.090 --> 01:00:55.329
fell off. That's correct. We fell off not them

01:00:55.329 --> 01:00:59.570
so Foxes and pigeons I would go with foxes because

01:00:59.570 --> 01:01:02.329
we're familiar with quadrupedal pets. Mm -hmm,

01:01:02.530 --> 01:01:05.010
but pigeons would be cool Just like pet the pigeon

01:01:05.010 --> 01:01:07.510
like shits in its cage where it's supposed to

01:01:07.510 --> 01:01:09.309
just kind of flies around, right? It's like a

01:01:09.309 --> 01:01:12.150
pigeon. Grab me that remote over there, bro Right.

01:01:12.150 --> 01:01:14.489
She's like brings it on by it's like a my man.

01:01:14.829 --> 01:01:17.769
My man. Thank you pigeon. So pigeons are foxes

01:01:18.680 --> 01:01:22.659
Hmm. I like that. I have a thought. I don't know

01:01:22.659 --> 01:01:26.159
how realistic it is, but what the hell. I would

01:01:26.159 --> 01:01:31.119
think tiger. A tiger. The old jungle cat. The

01:01:31.119 --> 01:01:34.380
old jungle cat. And it's primarily because, like

01:01:34.380 --> 01:01:36.579
when it comes to dogs anyway, I've always liked

01:01:36.579 --> 01:01:42.519
bigger dogs. And tigers are my favorite animal

01:01:42.519 --> 01:01:48.869
by far. They're gorgeous. I think that they're

01:01:48.869 --> 01:01:51.550
underrated. Like most people be like, oh, lions,

01:01:51.710 --> 01:01:53.909
the king of that. And I'm like, no. Nah, I think

01:01:53.909 --> 01:01:56.250
a Bengal tiger would jack one up, man. I think

01:01:56.250 --> 01:01:58.829
a Bengal tiger, if motivated enough, would F

01:01:58.829 --> 01:02:01.710
up a lion. I really do believe that. Something

01:02:01.710 --> 01:02:03.849
about jungle cats where they just kind of exist.

01:02:04.190 --> 01:02:07.530
They do. You know, like we're on the same plane

01:02:07.530 --> 01:02:09.969
of being predators. You know, you take your prey,

01:02:09.989 --> 01:02:13.630
I'll take mine. We'll both eat. Exactly. And

01:02:13.630 --> 01:02:17.980
you see, like you see a tiger. Like in the zoo

01:02:17.980 --> 01:02:20.619
or on a television show, like in the wild, whatever

01:02:20.619 --> 01:02:22.179
the case might be. Or in pictures next to Mike

01:02:22.179 --> 01:02:26.380
Tyson. Yes, exactly. Yeah, don't take Mike Tyson's

01:02:26.380 --> 01:02:29.219
tiger. That's a bad idea. Mike Tyson wanted to

01:02:29.219 --> 01:02:32.440
fight a gorilla and they wouldn't let him. That's

01:02:32.440 --> 01:02:38.960
enough, man. You watch them in the wild and like

01:02:38.960 --> 01:02:40.699
how they move and they do different things. You're

01:02:40.699 --> 01:02:43.940
just like, it's like any cat. It's any house

01:02:43.940 --> 01:02:47.019
cat. Like a cat you'd see. They're just tiny

01:02:47.019 --> 01:02:50.079
cats. They're equally as elegant. But if I had

01:02:50.079 --> 01:02:52.119
a machine that could blow one up four or five

01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:55.280
times its size, it would be the tiger. Right.

01:02:55.559 --> 01:02:58.800
Because that's in its nature. But yeah, right.

01:02:59.260 --> 01:03:02.559
At what point of blowing up a cat in this hypothetical

01:03:02.559 --> 01:03:05.659
would it become feral? Would a cat become feral?

01:03:06.219 --> 01:03:08.659
Right. Because cats are already kind of assholes.

01:03:09.119 --> 01:03:11.400
They are. I mean, I love cats. I love my cats.

01:03:11.559 --> 01:03:14.840
But if you're able to take a tiger at its cub

01:03:14.840 --> 01:03:18.519
phase and you're able to treat it like a dog,

01:03:19.239 --> 01:03:20.599
you know, you're able to pet it, you're able

01:03:20.599 --> 01:03:23.820
to feed it, and then it becomes reliant on you

01:03:23.820 --> 01:03:26.699
for its basic needs, then I think naturally it

01:03:26.699 --> 01:03:30.349
is going to become domesticated. But... and I've

01:03:30.349 --> 01:03:32.710
seen videos of people that do this with tigers

01:03:32.710 --> 01:03:35.570
and they keep them and like somebody hasn't seen

01:03:35.570 --> 01:03:37.349
a tiger in 10 years and he comes back and the

01:03:37.349 --> 01:03:39.829
tiger's like oh my god my best friend and like

01:03:39.829 --> 01:03:41.809
tackles him when they're playing around but at

01:03:41.809 --> 01:03:43.969
one point does the tiger remember it's a tiger

01:03:43.969 --> 01:03:46.849
right because it does it ever if it does not

01:03:46.849 --> 01:03:49.329
have if it doesn't have that memory of being

01:03:49.329 --> 01:03:51.429
in the wild and hunting food and doing all these

01:03:51.429 --> 01:03:54.369
things if you have truly domesticated it will

01:03:54.369 --> 01:03:56.710
it ever be like oh wait a minute I'm a tiger

01:03:56.710 --> 01:03:58.829
I can just sink my teeth in this guy's neck and

01:03:58.829 --> 01:04:02.280
eat him It happens with chimpanzees and apes.

01:04:02.579 --> 01:04:05.380
People try and domesticate chimpanzees and apes

01:04:05.380 --> 01:04:07.780
and things like that. And then at some point,

01:04:08.159 --> 01:04:10.179
they go crazy. It's like, oh shit, I'm a wild

01:04:10.179 --> 01:04:13.300
animal. I'm just gonna kill you. Correct. And

01:04:13.300 --> 01:04:15.380
there was the whole thing, like Tiger King. Back

01:04:15.380 --> 01:04:17.719
during 2020, the pandemic, everyone was watching

01:04:17.719 --> 01:04:21.619
Tiger King, and things just go wrong with big

01:04:21.619 --> 01:04:25.219
cats. Yep. Things just go wrong. It takes generations

01:04:25.219 --> 01:04:28.480
and generations. It takes decades, maybe centuries,

01:04:28.940 --> 01:04:32.079
to domesticate a species. You know, we've done

01:04:32.079 --> 01:04:35.900
that with dogs, and it's taken millennia? I mean,

01:04:36.179 --> 01:04:39.239
they've been domesticated for centuries, but

01:04:39.239 --> 01:04:41.739
how long did it really take to domesticate dogs?

01:04:42.360 --> 01:04:44.500
Probably centuries. Centuries, yeah. You're not

01:04:44.500 --> 01:04:47.360
just gonna domesticate a generation of jungle

01:04:47.360 --> 01:04:52.179
cats. Mm -hmm. It will take centuries. Yeah.

01:04:52.719 --> 01:04:56.119
Because the generation you try to domesticate

01:04:56.119 --> 01:04:58.760
still has a wild instinct. It's how they were

01:04:58.760 --> 01:05:00.920
born. Sure. You know, nature versus nurture.

01:05:01.079 --> 01:05:04.119
Their nature is to be wild and hunt prey. And

01:05:04.119 --> 01:05:07.019
hunt prey. Right. It's gonna take generation

01:05:07.019 --> 01:05:09.679
after generation of these jungle cats being domesticated

01:05:09.679 --> 01:05:12.360
for them to realize like, oh yeah, we're just

01:05:12.360 --> 01:05:14.960
chill with these people. Right, exactly. Chill

01:05:14.960 --> 01:05:17.840
with these people. So that's, and I think that's

01:05:17.840 --> 01:05:20.159
the crux of it, is like, domesticate an animal

01:05:20.159 --> 01:05:24.360
with the snap of a finger. Yeah. My first thought

01:05:24.360 --> 01:05:27.500
is foxes, but tigers is a fun one. I do like

01:05:27.500 --> 01:05:29.460
that. That is a fun one, because just a big,

01:05:29.460 --> 01:05:31.659
big animal will be just like a big goofy dog.

01:05:32.119 --> 01:05:33.280
And yeah, are they going to eat you out of house

01:05:33.280 --> 01:05:35.340
and home? Well, unless you want them to eat you,

01:05:35.440 --> 01:05:37.820
yep, you're going to buy them steaks. Two Great

01:05:37.820 --> 01:05:41.159
Danes. Exactly. Yeah, you're going to buy them

01:05:41.159 --> 01:05:43.159
steaks and roast some shit, and that's going

01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:44.840
to be their dinner. And that's just that's the

01:05:44.840 --> 01:05:48.179
way it is. But yeah, I think I think a tiger

01:05:48.179 --> 01:05:50.940
would be cool as hell. That'd be righteous. No

01:05:50.940 --> 01:05:53.219
one would ever break into your home. Hell no.

01:05:53.980 --> 01:05:56.659
Hell no, they like they break through the glass

01:05:56.659 --> 01:06:01.440
to hear the tiger go off. They're like well I

01:06:01.440 --> 01:06:04.079
picked the wrong house. Take care everybody sees

01:06:04.079 --> 01:06:07.940
yeah. Oh for sure. That's funny Um, all right.

01:06:08.019 --> 01:06:10.139
Well that was your last one. Absolutely. All

01:06:10.139 --> 01:06:12.280
right That's our DM sir this week head us up

01:06:12.280 --> 01:06:15.340
in the socials if you if you care to send us

01:06:15.340 --> 01:06:18.780
a DM we'll read it on air and this takes us to

01:06:18.780 --> 01:06:21.340
a a segment of the show called The Other Foods.

01:06:21.780 --> 01:06:25.599
So Aidan scours, and I mean scour, scours the

01:06:25.599 --> 01:06:31.940
world for foods that, well, let's just say, are

01:06:31.940 --> 01:06:37.500
not particularly edible. Atypical, sure. Might

01:06:37.500 --> 01:06:41.840
make Billy go puke. In a way. So, I don't know,

01:06:42.039 --> 01:06:43.900
what do you have for us? I went to the country

01:06:43.900 --> 01:06:47.619
of Russia. Oh buddy, okay. Yes, yes. I'm continuing

01:06:47.619 --> 01:06:51.940
my country -by -country take -down, if you will.

01:06:52.039 --> 01:06:54.119
That is what you're doing, yep. So I went to

01:06:54.119 --> 01:06:58.039
Russia. I found their poorest rated food dishes.

01:06:58.679 --> 01:07:04.159
Okay. The first one I have here, indigrika. Indigrika,

01:07:04.780 --> 01:07:11.000
a Russian fish salad. It consists of diced frozen

01:07:11.000 --> 01:07:15.159
fish... Topped with onion oil salt and pepper

01:07:15.159 --> 01:07:20.400
served in a bowl of ice. Oh So the fish is frozen

01:07:20.400 --> 01:07:23.900
the onions oil and salt Well, I mean onions have

01:07:23.900 --> 01:07:25.619
water in them They might start to freeze but

01:07:25.619 --> 01:07:27.440
the oil salt and pepper that's just there for

01:07:27.440 --> 01:07:30.280
flavor I guess but it's just frozen fish and

01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:33.860
onions served in a bowl of ice That's the whole

01:07:33.860 --> 01:07:38.570
dish nah Yeah, and I know you're not a sushi

01:07:38.570 --> 01:07:40.929
guy, you're not much of a seafood fan. I enjoy

01:07:40.929 --> 01:07:44.289
sushi, and this just sounds foul. It sounds terrible.

01:07:44.369 --> 01:07:47.250
It sounds not very good. It's apparently typically

01:07:47.250 --> 01:07:49.409
made with, like, white fish, so they're not,

01:07:49.409 --> 01:07:54.570
like, I guess in air quotes, foul to enjoy. Ah,

01:07:54.730 --> 01:07:59.349
okay. Yeah, it's just, no thank you. No thank

01:07:59.349 --> 01:08:02.269
you. An ice, a bowl made of ice filled with fish

01:08:02.269 --> 01:08:06.519
filled with ice. with onions and pepper. Damn.

01:08:06.840 --> 01:08:12.559
No, thank you. Next dish I have, rasolnik, a

01:08:12.559 --> 01:08:16.020
popular Russian soup with a unique aroma and

01:08:16.020 --> 01:08:20.939
flavor coming from pickled cucumbers, pearl parsley,

01:08:21.960 --> 01:08:23.800
vegetables such as potatoes, onions, carrots,

01:08:24.020 --> 01:08:32.060
fresh herbs, and beef organs. Mmm. Beef or pork

01:08:32.060 --> 01:08:35.659
organs. Plus a hint of chicken liver. Oh, come

01:08:35.659 --> 01:08:39.640
on. Ah. And this was the substitute instead of

01:08:39.640 --> 01:08:45.199
using fish offal. Nope. So, you know, I get the

01:08:45.199 --> 01:08:48.199
whole thing of like, don't be wasteful, you know,

01:08:48.239 --> 01:08:50.939
use every part of the animal if you're going

01:08:50.939 --> 01:08:53.640
to use it for food. But just like, dude, you

01:08:53.640 --> 01:08:56.739
could have just made a good soup. Sure. You didn't

01:08:56.739 --> 01:08:59.600
have to put organs in it. Did not. You could

01:08:59.600 --> 01:09:01.680
just put regular people meat. That's all you

01:09:01.680 --> 01:09:04.380
had to do. it is a it is a privilege take to

01:09:04.380 --> 01:09:07.800
say that but also like come on but still yeah

01:09:07.800 --> 01:09:10.960
come on have taste buds that's what i'm saying

01:09:10.960 --> 01:09:14.819
the uh the final russian food i have for you

01:09:14.819 --> 01:09:20.100
is uh shuba or popular referred to as uh herring

01:09:20.100 --> 01:09:24.760
under a fur coat oh no it is a unique russian

01:09:24.760 --> 01:09:28.420
salad salad heavily in air quotes yeah consisting

01:09:28.420 --> 01:09:32.750
of three distinct layers A can having more than

01:09:32.750 --> 01:09:35.369
that, but the original is made with three. It's

01:09:35.369 --> 01:09:38.810
a base of grated potatoes. Good start. Finely

01:09:38.810 --> 01:09:41.949
chopped onion on top of that. Okie dokie. And

01:09:41.949 --> 01:09:46.470
then you put chopped pickled herring on top of

01:09:46.470 --> 01:09:50.130
that. And if we know anything about fermented

01:09:50.130 --> 01:09:54.689
or pickled herring, it is that, that is the worst

01:09:54.689 --> 01:09:59.039
thing you can do. Oh, no question. Fermented

01:09:59.039 --> 01:10:01.439
herring, for anyone that doesn't know, is better

01:10:01.439 --> 01:10:07.119
known in Sweden as surströmming. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

01:10:07.539 --> 01:10:12.979
No. This is that. No. Yeah. Woof. Yeah, so it's

01:10:12.979 --> 01:10:17.739
potatoes, onion, pickled herring, carrots, mayonnaise,

01:10:18.260 --> 01:10:23.859
beets, mayonnaise. That's the layers. Nope. So

01:10:23.859 --> 01:10:26.199
yeah, that's that's a couple of Russian dishes.

01:10:26.600 --> 01:10:28.720
That's like that's like there's items in that

01:10:28.720 --> 01:10:31.979
that are fine But the way I always put it is

01:10:31.979 --> 01:10:35.100
if you take a heaping pile of dog shit and put

01:10:35.100 --> 01:10:38.300
a rose on top It is still a heaping pile of dog

01:10:38.300 --> 01:10:41.859
shit, right? So yeah, yeah, it's like they heard

01:10:41.859 --> 01:10:44.819
about Shepherd's pie and they were like, oh,

01:10:45.000 --> 01:10:47.060
maybe we can do that with the nastiest thing

01:10:47.060 --> 01:10:51.380
imaginable Yeah, I think not brother Yeah, I

01:10:51.380 --> 01:10:53.640
agree. Think I'll pass, big man. Yeah, no doubt.

01:10:53.859 --> 01:10:58.300
Oh, God. So God bless Russia. God bless. The

01:10:58.300 --> 01:11:03.859
next item we kind of, a little hint to this was

01:11:03.859 --> 01:11:08.659
my fry guy fry review, but we're putting the

01:11:08.659 --> 01:11:10.920
fries on the shelf for a hot minute because I

01:11:10.920 --> 01:11:14.560
thought I've tried most, if not all the big ones,

01:11:14.779 --> 01:11:18.859
at least in the Midwest here and some local chains.

01:11:19.319 --> 01:11:21.689
Yeah. and i thought you know there's other things

01:11:21.689 --> 01:11:24.789
for review other things that i eat a lot of that

01:11:24.789 --> 01:11:28.750
are commonly accessible yes correct and i i'm

01:11:28.750 --> 01:11:31.350
a single guy i've been single for a while and

01:11:31.350 --> 01:11:34.130
so it's been a while i've been a while not that

01:11:34.130 --> 01:11:37.989
it's necessarily been a while for for that but

01:11:37.989 --> 01:11:41.850
it's been a while since i've cohabitated and

01:11:41.850 --> 01:11:45.529
that being said i love to cook but i'm not always

01:11:45.529 --> 01:11:48.810
just gonna cook for myself because my brain only

01:11:48.810 --> 01:11:51.189
knows to cook one way and so i cook and then

01:11:51.189 --> 01:11:53.210
i'm like wow it's a lot of food right and i eat

01:11:53.210 --> 01:11:55.369
it and then maybe i have one left over and i

01:11:55.369 --> 01:11:56.989
am throwing a lot of food out and i get pissed

01:11:56.989 --> 01:11:59.390
so i don't like doing that i would much rather

01:11:59.390 --> 01:12:03.310
just have a frozen meal and throw it in the oven

01:12:03.310 --> 01:12:05.470
or the microwave and just be done with it and

01:12:05.470 --> 01:12:08.470
then that is a serving and i've eaten for like

01:12:08.470 --> 01:12:10.850
three or four dollars and it's right right fine

01:12:11.520 --> 01:12:14.399
So, that being the case, I thought since I eat

01:12:14.399 --> 01:12:17.439
a lot of these said frozen meals, that I would

01:12:17.439 --> 01:12:20.199
review them. Oh, smart man. Yeah, so this is

01:12:20.199 --> 01:12:22.119
going to be the Frozen Guy Review. The Frozen

01:12:22.119 --> 01:12:25.859
Guy Review. Frozen Guy Review. And I'm starting

01:12:25.859 --> 01:12:27.880
out with one that was a surprise. So I went and

01:12:27.880 --> 01:12:31.060
shopped at a different grocery store. I can say

01:12:31.060 --> 01:12:33.739
who they are, right? It's Meyer. There's other

01:12:33.739 --> 01:12:35.500
states that have Meyer. I'm not sure if they're

01:12:35.500 --> 01:12:38.060
national, but they're definitely around. There's

01:12:38.060 --> 01:12:41.609
other Midwestern states that have them. And so

01:12:41.609 --> 01:12:45.210
I went to Meyer. I rarely grocery shop when I

01:12:45.210 --> 01:12:48.470
run into Meyer. And just because there's other

01:12:48.470 --> 01:12:50.930
options, things that are cheaper, whatever. But

01:12:50.930 --> 01:12:52.350
I was in there, I thought I would just, because

01:12:52.350 --> 01:12:53.850
I was getting low, I thought I would just pick

01:12:53.850 --> 01:12:56.789
up a frozen meal or two since I was there. Well,

01:12:56.789 --> 01:12:58.529
they had some different things that the other

01:12:58.529 --> 01:13:01.050
stores didn't have. And I'm like, huh, how about

01:13:01.050 --> 01:13:05.050
that? That's interesting. So they had these frozen

01:13:05.050 --> 01:13:09.310
meals that had the Yellowstone logo on it from

01:13:09.310 --> 01:13:12.369
the television show. Oh. And I thought, that's

01:13:12.369 --> 01:13:14.829
weird. I've never seen those before. And so it

01:13:14.829 --> 01:13:17.890
was like a lot of that, like, like there were

01:13:17.890 --> 01:13:19.909
there were only, I think, four of them in there,

01:13:20.050 --> 01:13:22.550
maybe four different kinds. But they were kind

01:13:22.550 --> 01:13:25.489
of all based on like these these home cooked

01:13:25.489 --> 01:13:29.109
meals that like ranchers would have after working

01:13:29.109 --> 01:13:30.630
in the field or something that they can like

01:13:30.630 --> 01:13:32.590
eat when they're out there, like at the kettle

01:13:32.590 --> 01:13:34.710
cooking out there. And they put like. Right.

01:13:35.130 --> 01:13:38.680
And so like it was a concept. with a brand. And

01:13:38.680 --> 01:13:40.539
I thought, that's interesting. I can try that.

01:13:40.600 --> 01:13:43.159
I like Yellowstone. I'll throw him a bone. And

01:13:43.159 --> 01:13:45.899
so I picked it up at Yellowstone's Rips Ranch

01:13:45.899 --> 01:13:49.279
Hand Beef and Cheese Pasta Bake. Now that already

01:13:49.279 --> 01:13:52.699
sounds pretty damn good. Yeah. So basically,

01:13:53.699 --> 01:13:55.680
enjoy a taste of the ranch with our Yellowstone

01:13:55.680 --> 01:13:58.579
Rips Ranch Hand Beef and Cheese Pasta Bake. The

01:13:58.579 --> 01:14:02.449
dish is made with freshly made Cavatappi pasta

01:14:02.449 --> 01:14:05.609
with a zesty beef tomato sauce topped with cheddar

01:14:05.609 --> 01:14:09.409
cheese to bring you a rugged beauty and traditions

01:14:09.409 --> 01:14:12.289
of ranch style living in every bite. Not sponsored.

01:14:12.850 --> 01:14:15.489
Not sponsored. But. But not a lie either. Hear

01:14:15.489 --> 01:14:18.609
us out. Not a lie either. Like I ate that and

01:14:18.609 --> 01:14:21.189
it felt like someone cooked that meal for me.

01:14:21.329 --> 01:14:23.630
And when you're eating frozen meals it's not

01:14:23.630 --> 01:14:26.920
always that way. Certainly. was definitely that

01:14:26.920 --> 01:14:28.840
way. I felt like someone cooked something in

01:14:28.840 --> 01:14:30.899
the kitchen, smelled like it too, by the way.

01:14:31.539 --> 01:14:33.539
It smelled like, and it's like someone had cooked

01:14:33.539 --> 01:14:35.659
this meal for me and I had it in this little

01:14:35.659 --> 01:14:37.899
bowl and it was just perfect. I'm like, wow,

01:14:37.920 --> 01:14:39.500
someone cooked a meal for me. That was so nice.

01:14:39.739 --> 01:14:43.600
Right. Thank you, Rip. Yeah. Mr. Rip. Mrs. Rip.

01:14:44.060 --> 01:14:47.279
Mr. Rip. Thank you. Senor Rip. Senor Rip cooking

01:14:47.279 --> 01:14:49.819
this lovely meal. It was great. Like the pasta.

01:14:50.510 --> 01:14:53.350
was cooked to perfection in the time allotted.

01:14:53.590 --> 01:14:56.310
I'll even mention that on occasion, like if things

01:14:56.310 --> 01:14:59.270
take extra minutes or less minutes or whatever.

01:15:00.189 --> 01:15:01.930
This was right on. They were right on the money

01:15:01.930 --> 01:15:05.789
with their cooking time on the back. It was perfect.

01:15:06.189 --> 01:15:08.289
The pasta was excellent, like you had just cooked

01:15:08.289 --> 01:15:10.810
it on the stove. And that meat sauce and everything,

01:15:10.909 --> 01:15:14.189
it was just, it was great. it was fantastic and

01:15:14.189 --> 01:15:16.229
like some things you eat and you'll eat and like

01:15:16.229 --> 01:15:17.609
two or three hours later you're like god damn

01:15:17.609 --> 01:15:19.850
i'm hungry again yeah not the case here felt

01:15:19.850 --> 01:15:23.770
like i ate a meal good and so that is also another

01:15:23.770 --> 01:15:27.930
plus what a hell of a way to start this thing

01:15:27.930 --> 01:15:32.609
out uh without questions so on a scale of one

01:15:32.609 --> 01:15:35.350
to ten like i normally would rate my fries i

01:15:35.350 --> 01:15:38.409
will keep the rating system the same way i'm

01:15:38.409 --> 01:15:43.399
gonna go 9 .4 Out of 10. Elite scale. It's elite

01:15:43.399 --> 01:15:46.380
scale for sure. I was not counting on it. I thought

01:15:46.380 --> 01:15:48.560
it was because it was sponsored. I didn't think

01:15:48.560 --> 01:15:54.539
it would be that great. But it floored me. It

01:15:54.539 --> 01:15:57.060
floored me. It was really good. That's fantastic.

01:15:57.420 --> 01:16:00.140
Yeah, I loved it. I loved it. It was great So

01:16:00.140 --> 01:16:02.079
definitely go out there and get it Yellowstone's

01:16:02.079 --> 01:16:05.539
rips ranch and beef and cheese pasta bake suggested,

01:16:05.539 --> 01:16:08.960
but not sponsored correct It's fantastic. So

01:16:08.960 --> 01:16:10.880
I'll be doing these for a while. Maybe at least

01:16:10.880 --> 01:16:14.600
for this this fourth season Where I'll I'll just

01:16:14.600 --> 01:16:16.819
try something new every week and I will let you

01:16:16.819 --> 01:16:19.300
know what I think about it righteous All right.

01:16:19.300 --> 01:16:21.220
We're gonna take quick break when we come back.

01:16:21.279 --> 01:16:24.000
It is our feature segment. You just made the

01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:37.000
list on the Mark Mo Show podcast. All right,

01:16:37.000 --> 01:16:39.239
we are back for our feature segment here on The

01:16:39.239 --> 01:16:42.859
Mark Mo Show. You just made the list. It's our

01:16:42.859 --> 01:16:45.760
top 10 list of well -held, just about anything

01:16:45.760 --> 01:16:49.140
we can think of. Go 10 to 2 with our big number

01:16:49.140 --> 01:16:54.039
one reveal. And there, let's see, rules, rules.

01:16:54.260 --> 01:16:57.539
There's rules? that's what i hear hang on hold

01:16:57.539 --> 01:17:02.460
on the red tape is insane oh 14 subsection a

01:17:02.460 --> 01:17:04.619
b oh here it is here it is yeah there are no

01:17:04.619 --> 01:17:07.340
rules yep that's the rule thank goodness sake

01:17:07.340 --> 01:17:09.399
so i think we're good i think we're all right

01:17:09.399 --> 01:17:13.819
my man yeah so this week based on the information

01:17:13.819 --> 01:17:19.439
uh that came out uh two days ago now i want to

01:17:19.439 --> 01:17:25.760
say uh rush is back Getty and Alex are back,

01:17:26.359 --> 01:17:29.380
and they're going to be going on tour with a

01:17:29.380 --> 01:17:33.420
new female drummer. I'm not quite sure what her

01:17:33.420 --> 01:17:37.260
name is, but she is a super fan and a drummer,

01:17:37.380 --> 01:17:40.039
and I'm just under the assumption she's all that

01:17:40.039 --> 01:17:42.680
and a bag of chips. Right, right. If you're as

01:17:42.680 --> 01:17:46.010
goaded as Neil Peart, rest his soul. Right. It'll

01:17:46.010 --> 01:17:48.329
be good to have Rush back. It'll be good. Absolutely.

01:17:48.710 --> 01:17:52.210
It's just it feels it feels and and things unfortunate

01:17:52.210 --> 01:17:54.250
things like this happen. Hamlet, Cliff Burton,

01:17:54.529 --> 01:17:56.369
it happened. Yeah. Other guys in other bands.

01:17:56.729 --> 01:18:00.229
So I completely understand how that works. But

01:18:00.229 --> 01:18:04.289
it just feels like there was maybe more music

01:18:04.289 --> 01:18:08.270
on the board that they had. Oh, yeah. This happened.

01:18:08.529 --> 01:18:11.590
And was it right for them to step away? Probably

01:18:11.590 --> 01:18:14.109
so. But it's also right for them to come back.

01:18:14.270 --> 01:18:16.489
I mean, it's like, even though you want to be

01:18:16.489 --> 01:18:18.829
like, hey, we're not going to do this without

01:18:18.829 --> 01:18:20.989
him. It's like, well, now you can do this to

01:18:20.989 --> 01:18:23.750
tribute him. Certainly. In a way. And from what

01:18:23.750 --> 01:18:25.670
I understand, part of the show will be that.

01:18:25.710 --> 01:18:27.829
So I think it's going to be it's going to be

01:18:27.829 --> 01:18:30.170
pretty great. So at any rate, they're back, which

01:18:30.170 --> 01:18:32.529
is great. They're going to be on tour. I'd love

01:18:32.529 --> 01:18:35.050
to go. But if it's like four or five or six hundred

01:18:35.050 --> 01:18:37.029
dollars, like every other damn show these days,

01:18:37.149 --> 01:18:40.850
then. I'll just catch people's videos online.

01:18:42.090 --> 01:18:45.890
That's exactly what's going to happen. But at

01:18:45.890 --> 01:18:49.289
any rate, Aiden, I'll let you start. It is best

01:18:49.289 --> 01:18:52.909
Rush songs of all time. And they have quite the

01:18:52.909 --> 01:18:57.050
discography to choose from. And going through

01:18:57.050 --> 01:18:59.550
my list ten to two, saving the number one reveal,

01:19:00.010 --> 01:19:03.170

01:20:25.119 --> 01:20:27.899
decide. Unbelievable. It's a tough choice. Between

01:20:27.899 --> 01:20:32.840
Fly By Night and Red Sector A. That is a tough

01:20:32.840 --> 01:20:35.920

moving pictures is the album It is the quintess

01:22:29.750 --> 01:22:31.890
of course all of their albums are fantastic,

01:22:31.890 --> 01:22:34.970
but is it is the quintessential like holy shit

01:22:34.970 --> 01:22:37.850
This band is really good. Yeah, it's yeah, it's

01:22:37.850 --> 01:22:42.149
either that or 2112 sure yeah Yeah, that's that's

01:22:42.149 --> 01:22:46.510
and quite frankly like I know I cut 2112 From

01:22:46.510 --> 01:22:50.050
from my list did you yeah, I was like ah Should

01:22:50.050 --> 01:22:51.609
put them on there, but I'm like I'm gonna keep

01:22:51.609 --> 01:22:55.250
it to ten Yeah, that's a tough one, but 2112

01:22:55.250 --> 01:22:58.909
also has kind of an iconic logo Which a lot of

01:22:58.909 --> 01:23:01.069
people get tattoos on that's the star man logo.

01:23:01.550 --> 01:23:03.689
Oh, yeah Yeah, the guy that's kind of with his

01:23:03.689 --> 01:23:06.649
arms out. There's a star there. Yep That's that's

01:23:06.649 --> 01:23:10.430
a pretty pretty neat logo on that album for sure

01:23:10.430 --> 01:23:13.329
But hey Liz great song great songs great list

01:23:13.329 --> 01:23:17.800
if you have any rush Songs that we've missed

or albums you like once again hit us up in the

01:23:19.739 --> 01:23:23.699
DMS We're happy to have an exchange with you

01:23:23.699 --> 01:23:26.939
And now we normally we be going to review preview.

01:23:26.939 --> 01:23:29.199
I mean go to the movies I just like I look at

01:23:29.199 --> 01:23:31.479
what's at the movies and it just looks like dog

01:23:31.479 --> 01:23:35.199
crap not that I won't watch dog crap and then

01:23:35.289 --> 01:23:38.229
talk about it i could very well do that but it's

01:23:38.229 --> 01:23:40.449
about pinching a penny we'll watch dog crap for

01:23:40.449 --> 01:23:44.630
free on netflix or something which i did by the

01:23:44.630 --> 01:23:48.590
way from the library so i i think that yeah that's

01:23:48.590 --> 01:23:50.630
maybe i'll talk about that one next week because

01:23:50.630 --> 01:23:55.260
it was it was not great But at any rate, we're

01:23:55.260 --> 01:23:57.979
going to resurrect something we used to do, which

01:23:57.979 --> 01:24:00.460
is down the Reddit rabbit hole. And Aidan spends

01:24:00.460 --> 01:24:02.880
his time down that rabbit hole quite frequently

01:24:02.880 --> 01:24:05.600
and comes up with stuff. He shoots me texts and

01:24:05.600 --> 01:24:07.859
stuff like that. So once we started doing this,

01:24:07.859 --> 01:24:10.140
we're like, hey, that's right. That segment.

01:24:10.359 --> 01:24:13.560
Right. So I think we're going to play with that

01:24:13.560 --> 01:24:16.300
a little bit. Yeah. And I know Aidan's got some

01:24:16.300 --> 01:24:18.640
some things to share. I don't know if we want

01:24:18.640 --> 01:24:20.819
to title it like follow the money or what you

01:24:20.819 --> 01:24:23.909
want to do. But It's definitely some interesting

01:24:23.909 --> 01:24:26.829
data for sure. Yes Yeah, and that's that's usually

01:24:26.829 --> 01:24:28.850
the thing is don't going down the reddit rabbit

01:24:28.850 --> 01:24:34.069
hole is of course anything News world news world

01:24:34.069 --> 01:24:38.520
politics pop culture. Yep You can find anything

01:24:38.520 --> 01:24:42.579
on Reddit. Now, I like to find graphs and statistics

01:24:42.579 --> 01:24:45.220
because I'm a fucking nerd and you can make fun

01:24:45.220 --> 01:24:47.020
of me, but you're the one at the loss because

01:24:47.020 --> 01:24:49.659
I'm the one with the knowledge, baby. Down the

01:24:49.659 --> 01:24:52.079
Reddit rabbit hole, this first graph I have for

01:24:52.079 --> 01:24:54.800
you today that I will be explaining because this

01:24:54.800 --> 01:24:57.720
is a visual show or not a visual show. It's an

01:24:57.720 --> 01:25:02.520
auditory show. Revenue per employee, which is

01:25:02.520 --> 01:25:06.279
how much money the company makes. per employee

01:25:06.279 --> 01:25:09.500
they employ and this is of the top companies

01:25:09.500 --> 01:25:14.319
by revenue of 2025 so this is current and We'll

01:25:14.319 --> 01:25:17.619
start with the energy sector so exxon mobile,

01:25:17.619 --> 01:25:21.439
huh? Who apparently are not that worried about?

01:25:22.039 --> 01:25:23.899
Climate change or anything because hey think

01:25:23.899 --> 01:25:26.680
of the shareholders What would the shareholders

01:25:26.680 --> 01:25:29.239
think if we're actually worried about humanity

01:25:29.239 --> 01:25:32.439
in a hundred years, correct? revenue per employee

01:25:32.439 --> 01:25:37.949
per employee This company makes $5 .7 million.

01:25:38.489 --> 01:25:42.609
Oh, damn. Per employee. And that is not what

01:25:42.609 --> 01:25:46.609
an employee at ExxonMobil makes. Nope. Period.

01:25:47.829 --> 01:25:51.850
Per employee, ExxonMobil makes $5 .7 million.

01:25:52.789 --> 01:26:00.109
Saudi Aramico, $6 .4 million. Shell, $3 .0 million.

01:26:00.689 --> 01:26:04.640
Okay. $3 million per employee. Working at Shell.

01:26:05.319 --> 01:26:08.000
What about health care, you say? CVS Pharmacy,

01:26:08.180 --> 01:26:11.260
CVS Health, as they're known, per employee, and

01:26:11.260 --> 01:26:13.899
I know their employees don't make shit. Right.

01:26:14.399 --> 01:26:18.460
$1 .4 million in revenue. Good God. For every

01:26:18.460 --> 01:26:22.220
employee. That's gross. Yeah. The tech sector,

01:26:22.359 --> 01:26:26.039
Apple, $2 .4 million per employee. Alphabet is

01:26:26.039 --> 01:26:32.020
$1 .9 million. Let's talk retail, Costco. Now

01:26:32.020 --> 01:26:34.539
Costco, I'll usually give a pass because they're

01:26:34.539 --> 01:26:37.260
typically pretty good with paying their employees,

01:26:37.380 --> 01:26:40.779
their employees are typically unionized, but

01:26:40.779 --> 01:26:43.279
they've been having trouble recently. Because

01:26:43.279 --> 01:26:45.739
the unions aren't agreeing with a lot of the

01:26:45.739 --> 01:26:49.560
Costco decisions. A lot of the unionized employees

01:26:49.560 --> 01:26:54.720
are not happy with their wages. And per employee,

01:26:55.340 --> 01:27:01.770
Costco makes $764 ,000. Okay. Three quarters

01:27:01.770 --> 01:27:04.430
of a million dollar per employee and that is

01:27:04.430 --> 01:27:07.930
not even close to what their employees make Walmart's

01:27:07.930 --> 01:27:09.489
three hundred and twenty four thousand dollars

01:27:09.489 --> 01:27:12.189
per their per employee And they play their people

01:27:12.189 --> 01:27:14.930
like ten bucks an hour right ten bucks an hour.

01:27:14.930 --> 01:27:17.649
They're making three quarters of a million a

01:27:17.649 --> 01:27:20.930
quarter vote No, a third of a million dollars.

01:27:20.930 --> 01:27:25.329
Yeah, pardon me Toyota god bless Toyota my 09

01:27:25.329 --> 01:27:28.310
Camry is still running strong, but here's the

01:27:28.310 --> 01:27:35.060
issue per employee They make $821 ,000. Oh my

01:27:35.060 --> 01:27:38.600
god. JP Morgan Chase. You know, we love shitting

01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:43.020
on the financial sector. Sure. $879 ,000 per

01:27:43.020 --> 01:27:46.920
employee. Berkshire Hathaway, even worse, $947

01:27:46.920 --> 01:27:51.720
,000 per employee. These companies make so much

01:27:51.720 --> 01:27:57.340
fucking money off of our labor. Yep. Our labor

01:27:57.340 --> 01:28:01.399
funds their fucking yachts. their third mansion.

01:28:02.300 --> 01:28:05.899
It's absurd. That is absurd. That's gross. Yeah,

01:28:06.199 --> 01:28:10.100
it's foul. Yep. It's foul. And if you see the

01:28:10.100 --> 01:28:12.439
graphs, I don't have one today. Maybe I'll get

01:28:12.439 --> 01:28:15.100
one for a future week. But if you see the graphs

01:28:15.100 --> 01:28:20.460
of how the wealth gap very, very interestingly

01:28:20.460 --> 01:28:25.720
mirrors the union membership percentage. Sure.

01:28:26.090 --> 01:28:29.090
When unions are strong and the working class

01:28:29.090 --> 01:28:34.050
is properly represented, hey, it's almost like

01:28:34.050 --> 01:28:37.510
we make more money. Right. We get a larger percentage

01:28:37.510 --> 01:28:43.069
of the value of the labor we perform. Yeah. Interesting

01:28:43.069 --> 01:28:45.050
how that pans out. And why would you not want

01:28:45.050 --> 01:28:48.310
the consumer, the consumer class to have more

01:28:48.310 --> 01:28:51.569
money? The consumer class that allows your capitalism

01:28:51.569 --> 01:28:55.020
to exist. Right. Instead, you're going to pay

01:28:55.020 --> 01:28:57.359
them shit and they can't consume the things they

01:28:57.359 --> 01:29:00.600
need to be consuming. Right. And this is all

01:29:00.600 --> 01:29:03.739
possible because of my next little graph here.

01:29:03.859 --> 01:29:08.680
Top lobbyist groups in the United States by dollars

01:29:08.680 --> 01:29:11.920
spent. And this is year to date of 2024, which

01:29:11.920 --> 01:29:15.979
was the election year. So America's health insurance

01:29:15.979 --> 01:29:24.329
plans, $6 .6 million. spent on your politicians.

01:29:24.970 --> 01:29:29.789
RTX Corp, 6 .67 million. The Internet and Television

01:29:29.789 --> 01:29:34.270
Association of the country, 6 .8 million. Alphabet

01:29:34.270 --> 01:29:36.529
Inc, because Google wants to own everything,

01:29:36.529 --> 01:29:40.289
of course. Yeah. 7 .2 million dollars spent on

01:29:40.289 --> 01:29:44.489
the politicians you vote for. Comcast and their

01:29:44.489 --> 01:29:47.510

Motors, 7 .6 million. Amazon. $9 .5 million spent

01:29:54.140 --> 01:29:59.680
on buying politicians. AARP. I mean, because

01:29:59.680 --> 01:30:01.539
more insurance and healthcare has got to be up

01:30:01.539 --> 01:30:06.420
here, right? 9 .5 million. Meta. Because, you

01:30:06.420 --> 01:30:08.420
know, Facebook has to own everything also. Yes.

01:30:09.479 --> 01:30:14.060
$13 .5 million spent on buying politicians. Blue

01:30:14.060 --> 01:30:16.720
Cross and Blue Shield. hey if anyone's curious

01:30:16.720 --> 01:30:19.399
out there oh man why don't we have universal

01:30:19.399 --> 01:30:21.420
health care yet why can't we be an actual first

01:30:21.420 --> 01:30:23.739
world country where people get health care this

01:30:23.739 --> 01:30:27.159
is why blue cross blue shield 14 and a half million

01:30:27.159 --> 01:30:30.859
dollars spent buying politicians american hospital

dollars nasa national association of realtors

01:30:44.140 --> 01:30:47.479
Ah -ha! Interesting how that works. Yep, that

01:30:47.479 --> 01:30:50.220
one doesn't surprise me. Oh, there's no affordable

01:30:50.220 --> 01:30:52.279
housing. Like, people literally have to work

01:30:52.279 --> 01:30:55.180
their spines away for these capitalist cunts.

01:30:55.260 --> 01:30:57.159
Why can't we afford to live? Oh, it's because

01:30:57.159 --> 01:31:01.539
the Association of Realtors spent $31 .5 million

01:31:01.539 --> 01:31:05.960
on purchasing your politicians. So gross. And

01:31:05.960 --> 01:31:08.579
overall, the highest lobbyist group is the U

01:31:08.579 --> 01:31:12.500
.S. Chamber of Commerce itself, spending $38

01:31:12.500 --> 01:31:17.340
million. Purchasing the wills of politicians.

01:31:18.159 --> 01:31:22.079
That's disgusting. It's foul. It is absolutely

01:31:22.079 --> 01:31:27.420
foul. And going forward, I have these set up

01:31:27.420 --> 01:31:29.420
kind of chronologically here. Okay, no, that's

01:31:29.420 --> 01:31:33.340
good. To make it make sense. A graph here. Which

01:31:33.340 --> 01:31:36.220
products will consumers be spending more on over

01:31:36.220 --> 01:31:39.699
the next five years? So these product categories

01:31:39.699 --> 01:31:42.989
are ranked by their annual growth rate. projected

01:31:42.989 --> 01:31:47.270
annual growth rate from 2025 to 2029. Okay. First

01:31:47.270 --> 01:31:53.029
and foremost, food is expected to raise 12 .16

01:31:53.029 --> 01:31:59.909
% annually. Oh, God. Through 2029. Tobacco is

01:31:59.909 --> 01:32:05.890
up 12 .1%, 12 .01 % annually. Now, I don't really

01:32:05.890 --> 01:32:08.289
care about that because hey, people protect your

01:32:08.289 --> 01:32:11.000
lungs out there. But coming up after that is

01:32:11.000 --> 01:32:16.600
10 .3 % annual growth household essentials. Toilet

01:32:16.600 --> 01:32:20.960
paper, paper towels, toiletries. Online education

01:32:20.960 --> 01:32:26.699
is up 9 % yearly projected. Beverages as a whole,

9 .2%. Luxury goods, which neither of us are

01:32:31.340 --> 01:32:33.220
in the class of being able to purchase luxury

01:32:33.220 --> 01:32:38.039
goods. Fashion is up to point eight point two

01:32:38.039 --> 01:32:41.960
percent e services seven point seven percent

01:32:41.960 --> 01:32:45.020
Pharmaceuticals over the next five years will

01:32:45.020 --> 01:32:49.380
grow seven point five five percent Every year

01:32:49.380 --> 01:32:52.880
that's gross and they're already inflated Yep,

01:32:53.359 --> 01:32:56.720
ask any Canadian how much a vial of insulin costs.

01:32:56.720 --> 01:33:00.000
Oh my god. Yeah. Yep Furniture is going up 7

01:33:00.000 --> 01:33:02.760

7 % yearly. Toys and hobby goods, 6 .6 % yearly.

01:33:07.100 --> 01:33:10.119
Eyewear, you know, part of healthcare, unless

01:33:10.119 --> 01:33:14.680
you're in the US, 6 .1 % every year, it will

01:33:14.680 --> 01:33:17.220
go up. By the way, all of these are greater than

01:33:17.220 --> 01:33:21.560
inflation. Yes, correct. All of these. Electronics

01:33:21.560 --> 01:33:26.739
are up 4 .1 % year over year. Media, 4%. Dating

01:33:26.739 --> 01:33:30.640
services made this list up 1 .3 % year over year

01:33:30.640 --> 01:33:34.520
But yeah, if you're wondering why your money

01:33:34.520 --> 01:33:37.720
goes doesn't go as far as it used to it's because

01:33:37.720 --> 01:33:41.000
capitalists are fucking stealing from you Yes,

01:33:41.000 --> 01:33:47.479
they are every year That's gross every year and

01:33:47.479 --> 01:33:49.399
that is that is what I wanted to bring up during

01:33:49.399 --> 01:33:53.859
the red rabbit hole because I thought it I don't

01:33:53.859 --> 01:33:55.359
know, it kind of plays hand -in -hand with our

01:33:55.359 --> 01:33:57.539
opening dialogue, which, I mean, it's depressing

01:33:57.539 --> 01:33:59.720
as it is, but it's good to hear the facts behind

01:33:59.720 --> 01:34:02.420
it. Like, these are tangible statistics showing

01:34:02.420 --> 01:34:05.100
why we talk about what we talk about during the

01:34:05.100 --> 01:34:07.779
opening dialogue. Yeah. Because if you think,

01:34:07.779 --> 01:34:09.960
oh, well, I'm comfortable for now. I mean, none

01:34:09.960 --> 01:34:11.899
of this shit really matters. Oh, it'll catch

01:34:11.899 --> 01:34:15.699
up. It'll catch up. Your pay won't. Yep. Your

01:34:15.699 --> 01:34:19.020
pay won't. You're not part of the club. No, the

01:34:19.020 --> 01:34:21.100
pay definitely won't. And that's the thing, too,

01:34:21.119 --> 01:34:23.479
is I think... not to get off point, and it may

01:34:23.479 --> 01:34:26.659
not be off point, but I think that if things

01:34:26.659 --> 01:34:28.760
politically do change in this country over the

01:34:28.760 --> 01:34:31.979
next couple of years, I think that your average

01:34:31.979 --> 01:34:35.039
taxpayer should be due massive rebates from the

01:34:35.039 --> 01:34:38.979
federal government. Oh, yeah. I mean, for the

01:34:38.979 --> 01:34:41.979
average family, maybe upper four, if not five

01:34:41.979 --> 01:34:46.140
figures, that can be used on health care and

01:34:46.140 --> 01:34:49.119
clothes and your mortgage or a car or whatever

01:34:49.119 --> 01:34:53.310
because we've we've just had to bend over and

01:34:53.310 --> 01:34:56.449
take it for not even years or you're talking

01:34:56.449 --> 01:35:01.390
decades and um and it's it's time and and quite

01:35:01.390 --> 01:35:06.510
frankly it it doesn't even make me feel even

01:35:06.510 --> 01:35:09.810
the least bit odd or weird suggesting that it's

01:35:09.810 --> 01:35:12.329
our money right it's our money we've been paying

01:35:12.329 --> 01:35:16.189
into this forever yeah so and of the 200 million

01:35:16.189 --> 01:35:18.930
poorest of us also known as the working class

01:35:19.369 --> 01:35:24.569
how much of our money, the labor we do day to

01:35:24.569 --> 01:35:28.750
day, how much of that money generated goes towards

01:35:28.750 --> 01:35:33.090
unfair wars, or towards subsidizing billionaires

01:35:33.090 --> 01:35:37.729
and their silly fucking space projects. Or, I

01:35:37.729 --> 01:35:43.229
mean, unbelievable spending on a military that

01:35:43.229 --> 01:35:45.470
just gives it away to contractors. That's what

01:35:45.470 --> 01:35:48.739
they do. It's unbelievable. We, the American

01:35:48.739 --> 01:35:53.979
people, should be comfortable. Yes, should be

01:35:53.979 --> 01:35:56.060
comfortable. Every one of the, there is enough

01:35:56.060 --> 01:35:58.819
resources on the globe for every human being

01:35:58.819 --> 01:36:03.079
to be fed and sheltered and have clean water.

01:36:03.739 --> 01:36:06.659
that's not the case because there are a couple

01:36:06.659 --> 01:36:09.640
dozen rich people that think number go up I want

01:36:09.640 --> 01:36:12.300
to be the first trillionaire that's right that's

01:36:12.300 --> 01:36:14.140
the exact reason you're not comfortable today

01:36:14.140 --> 01:36:16.239
and it pisses me off that more people aren't

01:36:16.239 --> 01:36:19.439
pissed off people should be people should be

01:36:19.439 --> 01:36:22.739
unless you're in the 1 % or close to the 1 %

01:36:22.739 --> 01:36:24.920
any anyone else should be mad for one reason

01:36:24.920 --> 01:36:28.569
or another without question Well, that was great.

01:36:28.789 --> 01:36:30.510
Thank you for going down that rabbit hole, Aidan.

01:36:30.630 --> 01:36:33.829
I much appreciate it and hopefully, you know,

01:36:33.829 --> 01:36:37.750
if it is not in every week thing, perhaps even

01:36:37.750 --> 01:36:40.310
every other week, you know, we'll sprinkle it

01:36:40.310 --> 01:36:43.149
in, give certain segments a rest here and there.

01:36:43.470 --> 01:36:46.050
I definitely think it's worth having on the show

01:36:46.050 --> 01:36:48.989
for sure. So I do appreciate your work there.

01:36:49.310 --> 01:36:52.210
And before we take our final break, while you

01:36:52.210 --> 01:36:55.289
were sleeping, so Aidan, once again, He loves

01:36:55.289 --> 01:36:57.489
these rabbit holes. He goes down there and he

01:36:57.489 --> 01:37:01.789
tries to find something in terms of a TV show,

01:37:01.829 --> 01:37:06.069
a movie, it could be a book, I don't know. It

01:37:06.069 --> 01:37:08.970
is so many different things that we may have

01:37:08.970 --> 01:37:10.770
missed, that we may have slept down a little

01:37:10.770 --> 01:37:13.270
bit. Aidan finds them, lets us know about them.

01:37:13.430 --> 01:37:15.090
What do you have this week, Aidan? This week

01:37:15.090 --> 01:37:20.189
I have a website for you. Oh, okay. itch .io.

01:37:20.729 --> 01:37:26.380
So it's itch .io is the website. It is a hosting

01:37:26.380 --> 01:37:30.560
website, a distributor, if you will, of indie

01:37:30.560 --> 01:37:35.560
video games, RPGs, game assets, comets, I mean

01:37:35.560 --> 01:37:38.819
music, pretty much you can distribute anything

01:37:38.819 --> 01:37:45.199
on itch .io. And as of I think last year, late

01:37:45.199 --> 01:37:48.260
last year, they had over a million products on

01:37:48.260 --> 01:37:51.180
their site. Now here's the thing, it is a, as

01:37:51.180 --> 01:37:54.890
far as Wikipedia, describes them. Itch .io is

01:37:54.890 --> 01:37:57.550
a common platform for small and independent developers.

01:37:57.789 --> 01:38:00.470
Anyone can publish on the website, uses a pay

01:38:00.470 --> 01:38:04.210
what you want model for both customers and developers.

01:38:04.649 --> 01:38:06.630
Oh, wow. Developers can set a minimum price for

01:38:06.630 --> 01:38:08.930
their games, but buyers can choose to pay extra.

01:38:09.250 --> 01:38:12.189
Developers, of course, can also do just like

01:38:12.189 --> 01:38:14.609
zero dollars, pay what you can. Oh, yeah, for

01:38:14.609 --> 01:38:17.789
sure. Type for their games, which is very economical

01:38:17.789 --> 01:38:21.390
these days. Since 2015 HEO has let developers

01:38:21.390 --> 01:38:24.130
dictate how much revenue the website receives

01:38:24.130 --> 01:38:27.390
from their sales Which is very clever because

01:38:27.390 --> 01:38:31.109
things like steam or I mean if you're a large

01:38:31.109 --> 01:38:33.270
enough company go through Xbox or PlayStation

01:38:33.270 --> 01:38:35.869
there They just set whatever rates they want

01:38:35.869 --> 01:38:39.770
you have to be okay with that. No the they let

01:38:39.770 --> 01:38:42.829
their Developers decide how much the website

01:38:42.829 --> 01:38:45.229
gets it said at 10 % by default which at the

01:38:45.229 --> 01:38:49.470
time industry norm for developing and selling

01:38:49.470 --> 01:38:53.050
a game. Yeah. The website you sell it on gets

01:38:53.050 --> 01:38:57.229
30 % of your sales. Oh. Yeah. Itch .io's base

01:38:57.229 --> 01:39:01.170
is 10 % but you can decide what they get regardless.

01:39:02.369 --> 01:39:04.850
And of course they have like customizable store

01:39:04.850 --> 01:39:08.989
pages and it doesn't matter how big of a developer

01:39:08.989 --> 01:39:12.949
you are, you don't have to deal with like the...

01:39:12.569 --> 01:39:14.609
corporate side of steam, you don't have to deal

01:39:14.609 --> 01:39:17.710
with any mega corpo xbox or playstation things

01:39:17.710 --> 01:39:23.689
it is like the place to go to find indie games

01:39:23.689 --> 01:39:28.029
and essentially like single person developers

01:39:28.029 --> 01:39:31.949
making a game from like ground up and especially

01:39:31.949 --> 01:39:33.949
if you're on a low budget if you're like man

01:39:33.949 --> 01:39:36.229
I really want to play some of these indie horror

01:39:36.229 --> 01:39:38.449
games that they always talk about that's the

01:39:38.449 --> 01:39:42.130
place to go absolutely the place to go. 90 %

01:39:42.130 --> 01:39:44.829
of what is on their marketplace is pay what you

01:39:44.829 --> 01:39:48.170
can. So if you have zero dollars in your pocket,

01:39:48.250 --> 01:39:50.270
but you have a functioning computer, you can

01:39:50.270 --> 01:39:52.829
download a horror game and play it. And you know

01:39:52.829 --> 01:39:54.829
what? You stumble upon some money. Hey, I'm going

01:39:54.829 --> 01:40:00.590
to go back and give this dev 20 bones. So it

01:40:00.590 --> 01:40:07.149
is a good environment for gaming. And it's kind

01:40:07.149 --> 01:40:10.239
of... It's kind of heartbreaking. It hasn't gotten

01:40:10.239 --> 01:40:12.920
more popular. It has grown in popularity over

01:40:12.920 --> 01:40:16.340
the last five years or so. But it definitely

01:40:16.340 --> 01:40:19.840
deserves a shout out because as far as marketplaces

01:40:19.840 --> 01:40:23.840
go for video games, it is the most developer

01:40:23.840 --> 01:40:29.079
friendly. It is the most customer friendly where...

01:40:28.810 --> 01:40:32.289
The website itself isn't trying to scalp developers,

01:40:32.890 --> 01:40:34.770
and developers aren't trying to scalp players,

01:40:35.270 --> 01:40:40.970
so it is the place to go for gaming, or for game

01:40:40.970 --> 01:40:45.010
assets, or just the sense of community amongst

01:40:45.010 --> 01:40:47.470
indie game devs. Like, hey, I want to build this

01:40:47.470 --> 01:40:50.289
neat thing. And they do game jams all the time,

01:40:50.829 --> 01:40:54.350
where these are little contests where you get...

01:40:54.189 --> 01:40:56.930
20 game developers together and say, like, hey,

01:40:57.069 --> 01:40:59.250
starting at this time, you've got 48 hours to

01:40:59.250 --> 01:41:02.010
make the best, like, horror game you can with

01:41:02.010 --> 01:41:05.289
the theme of kitchen plates. And they just do

01:41:05.289 --> 01:41:07.670
what they can, and it's really fun and goofy

01:41:07.670 --> 01:41:11.369
and spooky, of course. And it's a great community.

01:41:11.529 --> 01:41:13.670
And you can just go there and play horror games

01:41:13.670 --> 01:41:16.010
for free if you don't have the cash for it. If

01:41:16.010 --> 01:41:17.550
you do have the cash for it, of course, support

01:41:17.550 --> 01:41:20.630
when you can. But that's the place to go, itch

01:41:20.630 --> 01:41:23.920
.io. Not sponsored, but I really, really support

01:41:23.920 --> 01:41:26.479
them. I love that. itch .io. So get on there

01:41:26.479 --> 01:41:29.439
and check it out. It's a website. Enter it just

01:41:29.439 --> 01:41:32.680
as he said. And I just was kind of, as Aidan

01:41:32.680 --> 01:41:34.180
was talking about, it's kind of just tooling

01:41:34.180 --> 01:41:36.140
around in there a little bit. It's really neat.

01:41:36.479 --> 01:41:38.960
Yeah, absolutely. Very cool. Well, thanks for

01:41:38.960 --> 01:41:40.739
bringing that up. And we're going to check out

01:41:40.739 --> 01:41:43.300
here for a second. And we come back. We've got

01:41:43.300 --> 01:41:45.420
a beer review and the world of weird news coming

01:41:45.420 --> 01:42:11.310
up for you. All right, we are back for the finish

01:42:11.310 --> 01:42:15.329
of our show, the Mark Mo Show. Your host here,

01:42:15.390 --> 01:42:17.909
Mark Maloney, along with Aidan Maloney, my co

01:42:17.909 --> 01:42:23.470
-host. And we always do our official. Official?

01:42:23.909 --> 01:42:28.810
Official. Beer review. Each and every week, all

01:42:28.810 --> 01:42:32.130
sorts of beers from all over the world. And this

01:42:32.130 --> 01:42:35.550
week, we have. I don't know if you would call

01:42:35.550 --> 01:42:38.670
it a macro, as opposed to micro brews we often

01:42:38.670 --> 01:42:44.989
do, but it has some international flavor for

01:42:44.989 --> 01:42:47.989
certain. Hopefully ice won't come take our beers.

01:42:48.810 --> 01:42:54.210
Right. Oh, man. Anyway, just a matter of time.

01:42:54.369 --> 01:42:56.550
Just a matter of time. I swear to God. Right.

01:42:56.810 --> 01:42:58.569
Anyway, what do we got this weekend? A little

01:42:58.569 --> 01:43:04.340
Victoria. Victoria Brew. It is... made by Grupo

01:43:04.340 --> 01:43:08.600
Modelo, which is indeed a macro brewery, which,

01:43:08.600 --> 01:43:11.899
as you could tell by the name, also makes Modelo.

01:43:12.100 --> 01:43:15.220
Indeed. And Corona. They're all the same company.

01:43:15.300 --> 01:43:16.640
They're all the same. They're all the same company.

01:43:16.720 --> 01:43:20.500
And if you look at what S .A .B. Miller or Anheuser

01:43:20.500 --> 01:43:24.840
-Busch or Molson Coors. A few small companies

01:43:24.840 --> 01:43:27.560
own everything. That's just capitalism. But this

01:43:27.560 --> 01:43:30.479
is made by Grupo Modelo. It's a Victoria. It

01:43:30.479 --> 01:43:34.260
is a lager. It's a Vienna lager. Ooh. And Vienna

01:43:34.260 --> 01:43:37.300
lagers typically range from copper to reddish

01:43:37.300 --> 01:43:41.399
in color. Should have a nice malty aroma, a little

01:43:41.399 --> 01:43:45.840
sweet malt flavor to it. Low on the bitterness

01:43:45.840 --> 01:43:49.000
scale is how Vienna lagers are typically characterized.

01:43:49.769 --> 01:43:52.750
And we will be sampling this here for you today,

01:43:53.270 --> 01:43:57.350
4 % ABV. So if you're looking to keep it a little

01:43:57.350 --> 01:44:00.289
bit of take or chill, you can go for one of these

01:44:00.289 --> 01:44:03.850
for sure. Absolutely. A nice perhaps summertime

01:44:03.850 --> 01:44:06.569
brewski. I know we're well into fall now, but

01:44:06.569 --> 01:44:09.890
we will be trying this Victoria Brew here for

01:44:09.890 --> 01:44:15.329
you. Ah, lovely. Oh yeah. Nice canned sound for

01:44:15.329 --> 01:44:18.649
you. And we'll be ranking it on the Untapped

01:44:18.649 --> 01:44:21.350
app, not sponsored, but recommended. It is free.

01:44:21.869 --> 01:44:24.789
Where you can just rank brews as you try them.

01:44:25.090 --> 01:44:28.050
Yeah, I dig it. And we got the big 24 oz. here.

01:44:28.270 --> 01:44:32.409
The big can, the 24 oz. And we'll rank them on

01:44:32.409 --> 01:44:35.270
a scale from 0 to 5 on how much we like them.

01:44:35.329 --> 01:44:38.350
We'll give you our tasting notes. And Slainte,

01:44:38.390 --> 01:44:41.890
let us know in the comments. Clink. Clink what

01:44:41.890 --> 01:44:49.060
you are drinking today. Okay. Oh, yeah. That's

01:44:49.060 --> 01:44:52.220
very smooth. Clean. Very clean. Yeah. Little

01:44:52.220 --> 01:44:55.479
malt on the nose. Mm -hmm. I will say the aftertaste

01:44:55.479 --> 01:44:57.939
is a little yeasty. You definitely get that,

01:44:57.939 --> 01:45:00.579
like, lager. Little bit, but not too bad. Yeah,

01:45:00.640 --> 01:45:03.840
a little lager yeastiness to it. But yeah, the

01:45:03.840 --> 01:45:06.720
malt definitely comes through. Very light, very

01:45:06.720 --> 01:45:09.659
clean. I think the low ABV definitely helps out

01:45:09.659 --> 01:45:13.100
with that. Yeah. Oh, for sure. That's very casual.

01:45:14.239 --> 01:45:18.579
I enjoy it. Yeah. I think if you're talking about

01:45:18.579 --> 01:45:20.920
kind of that hot day you're out doing work in

01:45:20.920 --> 01:45:23.500
the yard and you come in, I think an ice cold

01:45:23.500 --> 01:45:25.859
Victoria would be great. Sure. I think it pairs

01:45:25.859 --> 01:45:28.239
with a lot of foods well. Oh yeah. You know,

01:45:28.260 --> 01:45:31.079
if you're talking about barbecued steaks or pulled

01:45:31.079 --> 01:45:34.880
pork or anything like that, I think that would

01:45:34.880 --> 01:45:36.819
pair really well with that. Something a little

01:45:36.819 --> 01:45:42.210
malty and cool to cut through the... The acidity

01:45:42.210 --> 01:45:44.529
and the fattiness of like beef and barbecue.

01:45:45.109 --> 01:45:47.989
Absolutely. For sure. I think so. That's very

01:45:47.989 --> 01:45:52.090
good though. Very nice. Very pleasant. Now lagers

01:45:52.090 --> 01:45:54.890
typically aren't my go -to. Nope. So of course

01:45:54.890 --> 01:45:58.670
my bias will play into my rating of it. But as

01:45:58.670 --> 01:46:01.770
far as lagers go this is pretty dang good. Yeah

01:46:01.770 --> 01:46:05.010
it is. Pretty dang good. Flavor profile. The

01:46:05.010 --> 01:46:07.850
untapped app always gives us five to choose from.

01:46:07.850 --> 01:46:12.060
The most popular. Of the five they suggest, light

01:46:12.060 --> 01:46:14.960
bodied, smooth, clean, sweet, and malty, I would

01:46:14.960 --> 01:46:17.720
agree with most of those. Light bodied, smooth,

01:46:17.800 --> 01:46:21.039
and clean for sure. Malty for sure. Not so much

01:46:21.039 --> 01:46:24.579
sweet. I don't get sweet. No, it's not... I mean,

01:46:24.640 --> 01:46:28.039
there's a touch of sweet from the maltiness,

01:46:28.520 --> 01:46:31.020
but it's not... I wouldn't characterize it as

01:46:31.020 --> 01:46:34.100
sweet. Correct. No, I'll give it yeasty, light

01:46:34.100 --> 01:46:37.420
bodied, smooth, clean, and malty. Nice. Yeah.

01:46:38.090 --> 01:46:40.810
Now the question is where where do you put it

01:46:40.810 --> 01:46:44.170
point -wise? That's tough and and I'm not a huge

01:46:44.170 --> 01:46:47.750
lager guy, so I'm kind of torn Mm -hmm. I'm kind

01:46:47.750 --> 01:46:51.569
of torn. I think I'll go I'll go three I'll go

01:46:51.569 --> 01:46:57.729
3 .0 even on the scale to five. I like it It's

01:46:57.729 --> 01:47:01.890
not Lagers just aren't my vibe like if I'm drinking

01:47:01.890 --> 01:47:04.930
something besides water or coffee. I want it

01:47:04.930 --> 01:47:08.140
to have like Flavor like smack my tongue with

01:47:08.140 --> 01:47:11.939
flavor sure and this while very casual and I

01:47:11.939 --> 01:47:14.819
do enjoy it I want to reinforce that I do enjoy

01:47:14.819 --> 01:47:18.399
it It's just not my first choice, but I want

01:47:18.399 --> 01:47:21.600
to I want to make note that it is good So I'm

01:47:21.600 --> 01:47:24.840
going three on five. Yeah, I went three point

01:47:24.840 --> 01:47:27.159
two five. We weren't too entirely different on

01:47:27.159 --> 01:47:33.020
that one I do however enjoy Loggers I have I

01:47:33.020 --> 01:47:39.560
have no no issues with them. And yeah, because

01:47:39.560 --> 01:47:42.619
I mean, what am I? I'm a PBR guy. I'm a high

01:47:42.619 --> 01:47:46.779
life guy. Miller Lite. I mean, that's like on

01:47:46.779 --> 01:47:50.060
a common average night out. That's what I'm drinking.

01:47:50.359 --> 01:47:54.380
Sure. You know, will I on occasion enjoy a Guinness

01:47:54.380 --> 01:47:57.220
or a Smittix or something? Of course. But that's

01:47:57.220 --> 01:47:59.920
pretty much kind of in my wheelhouse. So this

01:47:59.920 --> 01:48:02.819
technically would probably fall in my wheelhouse.

01:48:02.899 --> 01:48:06.159
Yeah. Yeah. I think that's fair to say. Yeah,

01:48:06.159 --> 01:48:10.439
so 3 .25. Well done, Victoria. Absolutely. Yeah,

01:48:10.439 --> 01:48:14.140
no doubt. So that pretty much brings us to our

01:48:14.140 --> 01:48:19.380
final segment of the evening, and that is the

01:48:19.380 --> 01:48:23.979
world of weird news. And I've got a good one.

01:48:24.199 --> 01:48:27.279
I read it, and I think it's new enough where

01:48:27.279 --> 01:48:29.819
I don't think we've done it. I hope we haven't

01:48:29.819 --> 01:48:33.600
done it. It's weird. Yeah. Hence the weird news.

01:48:34.029 --> 01:48:37.130
But I will I will let you roll with this first

01:48:37.130 --> 01:48:40.270
okey -dokey my world of weird news I had to do

01:48:40.270 --> 01:48:43.630
it for kicking off season 4 I had to go back

01:48:43.630 --> 01:48:46.130
Because there's always something special going

01:48:46.130 --> 01:48:50.829
on in this beautiful American state Florida man.

01:48:50.829 --> 01:48:53.789
Oh, let's go buddy Florida man arrested for pulling

01:48:53.789 --> 01:49:00.930
off $100 ,000 frozen bacon heist Well, wow, okay,

01:49:00.949 --> 01:49:05.060
can we blame him? We cannot I'm with you on that

01:49:05.060 --> 01:49:07.359
as far as far as breakfast goes. It's almost

01:49:07.359 --> 01:49:10.520
a must. Yeah, it is a must So yeah, Florida man

01:49:10.520 --> 01:49:13.380
hundred thousand dollar bacon heist police in

01:49:13.380 --> 01:49:16.800
Miami say they've busted a man who stole a trailer

01:49:16.800 --> 01:49:21.479
filled with $100 ,000 worth of frozen bacon police

01:49:21.479 --> 01:49:24.640
say back in September this was in 2024 by the

01:49:24.640 --> 01:49:29.279
way a 40 year old Marcos Gonzalez Bernal stole

01:49:29.279 --> 01:49:34.180
a 53 foot refrigerated semi -trailer from a parking

01:49:34.180 --> 01:49:39.600
lot in Daytona Beach With 192 pounds of frozen

01:49:39.600 --> 01:49:43.300
bacon in the back surveillance video captured

01:49:43.300 --> 01:49:46.079
the theft and showed a blue SUV canvassing the

01:49:46.079 --> 01:49:49.039
area and Parking next to the stolen trailer.

01:49:49.039 --> 01:49:52.720
Oh license plate reader read lead detectives

01:49:52.720 --> 01:49:57.180
to the car and Gonzalez Bernal driving it in

01:49:57.180 --> 01:50:01.100
Miami Dade investigators eventually found the

01:50:01.100 --> 01:50:07.119
stolen trailer with the 192 pounds of frozen

01:50:07.119 --> 01:50:11.260
bacon in the back. Oh no. Now why would you bring

01:50:11.260 --> 01:50:15.920
your SUV to the heist? Yeah. Rent a car with

01:50:15.920 --> 01:50:18.180
a phony ID. Not that I'm giving tips, but if

01:50:18.180 --> 01:50:19.420
you want tips, I've got you. But if you want

01:50:19.420 --> 01:50:22.600
a tip, he's got you, yeah. The judge set the

01:50:22.600 --> 01:50:27.239
bond at over $30 ,000, I believe. Oh no. Now,

01:50:27.239 --> 01:50:30.840
I didn't realize that 192 pounds of frozen bacon

01:50:30.840 --> 01:50:34.279
was worth $100 ,000. That's more of just a commentary

01:50:34.279 --> 01:50:38.600
on our economy. That's fair. But God bless that

01:50:38.600 --> 01:50:41.359
man. Hopefully he's doing well out there. Yeah.

01:50:41.359 --> 01:50:45.039
I just wonder, did he know? Did he know, like,

01:50:45.039 --> 01:50:47.640
oh, this is the bacon trailer. I'm taking the

01:50:47.640 --> 01:50:51.159
bacon trailer. Or was he just like a trailer

01:50:51.159 --> 01:50:54.439
thief? That's a good question. That is definitely

01:50:54.439 --> 01:50:57.689
a good question because... That dude alone is

01:50:57.689 --> 01:51:00.250
not gonna eat all that bacon. No, if he's in

01:51:00.250 --> 01:51:03.029
it for the bacon, you know, you got me, I'm on

01:51:03.029 --> 01:51:05.430
your side. Right, you grab a couple of boxes

01:51:05.430 --> 01:51:08.090
and jet. Right, if you're in it for the trailer,

01:51:08.170 --> 01:51:10.789
it's like, eh, you know, I'm a truck driver,

01:51:11.010 --> 01:51:14.689
that's my profession, like I wouldn't enjoy having

01:51:14.689 --> 01:51:18.289
my trailer stolen. Not because I really care,

01:51:18.350 --> 01:51:22.930
like I get paid for my labor, that's it. But

01:51:22.930 --> 01:51:25.189
at the same time, you would inconvenience me.

01:51:25.720 --> 01:51:29.600
Mm -hmm, right. So it's it's like I wouldn't

01:51:29.600 --> 01:51:31.340
want that to happen to me, but if he's in it

01:51:31.340 --> 01:51:35.399
for the bacon Can I blame him? Nope for the same

01:51:35.399 --> 01:51:37.699
time if someone were to steal my trailer while

01:51:37.699 --> 01:51:39.720
I'm out and about They might be in it for the

01:51:39.720 --> 01:51:42.100
bruskies in my in the back or the energy drinks

01:51:42.100 --> 01:51:46.390
in the back. I blame them. Nope But if they're

01:51:46.390 --> 01:51:48.090
just stealing it for the love of the game, it's

01:51:48.090 --> 01:51:51.369
like, ah, come on. Come on, kid. Right, exactly.

01:51:51.750 --> 01:51:55.130
Come on. Yeah, that's no bueno. All right, so

01:51:55.130 --> 01:51:59.890
we've got a bacon thief on one end here. Rarely

01:51:59.890 --> 01:52:04.170
does the World of Weird News keep us in Northwest

01:52:04.170 --> 01:52:10.000
Indiana. Sure. But this week, it has. So, this

01:52:10.000 --> 01:52:13.560
particular story, police say Laporte Man exposed

01:52:13.560 --> 01:52:17.680
himself and humped patrol car after being removed

01:52:17.680 --> 01:52:20.520
from gas station. Oh, God bless Laporte. This

01:52:20.520 --> 01:52:22.600
actually doesn't surprise me one bit. It tracks.

01:52:23.119 --> 01:52:26.159
It totally tracks. It checks out. It does check

01:52:26.159 --> 01:52:28.739
out. Laporte Man was arrested after authorities

01:52:28.739 --> 01:52:32.239
say he refused to leave a Family Express convenience

01:52:32.239 --> 01:52:36.180
store, hurled objects at an employee, and later

01:52:36.180 --> 01:52:39.079
performed lewd acts against a police vehicle

01:52:39.079 --> 01:52:42.680
near a busy intersection. According to court

01:52:42.680 --> 01:52:45.319
documents, officers were dispatched around 429

01:52:45.319 --> 01:52:49.880
PM on October 1st, 2025 to the Family Express

01:52:49.880 --> 01:52:55.260
at 1874 U .S. 20 after a caller reported an unwanted

01:52:55.260 --> 01:52:57.859
guest described as a man harassing customers

01:52:57.859 --> 01:53:01.020
and screaming outside the store. The man later

01:53:01.020 --> 01:53:05.079
identified as 41 -year -old Alan J. Gallacher.

01:53:05.520 --> 01:53:09.939
not Gallagher, Gallagher, of La Porte was reportedly

01:53:09.939 --> 01:53:12.539
throwing items at people after being told to

01:53:12.539 --> 01:53:17.310
leave. When officers arrived, employees said

01:53:17.310 --> 01:53:20.850
the suspect had left and might be near the cemetery

01:53:20.850 --> 01:53:23.710
south of the business. He was soon spotted sitting

01:53:23.710 --> 01:53:26.909
on a hill in front of a church sign visible to

01:53:26.909 --> 01:53:30.689
heavy traffic along State Road 39. Reports indicate

01:53:30.689 --> 01:53:33.609
Gallacher was immediately aggressive towards

01:53:33.609 --> 01:53:37.689
officers, shouting obscenities, refusing to identify

01:53:37.689 --> 01:53:41.270
himself, and repeatedly yelling profanity. He

01:53:41.270 --> 01:53:44.850
was detained for safety after continuing to curse

01:53:44.850 --> 01:53:47.050
and ignore commands. You know what? It sounds

01:53:47.050 --> 01:53:49.369
like an average day in La Porte, Indiana. Sounds

01:53:49.369 --> 01:53:52.949
like an average day. During a search, a jacket

01:53:52.949 --> 01:53:56.310
that had been tied around his waist fell, exposing

01:53:56.310 --> 01:54:01.729
his genitals. Oh no. He then made explicit remarks

01:54:01.729 --> 01:54:05.130
directed at the officers. while being escorted

01:54:05.130 --> 01:54:08.670
to a patrol vehicle. Gallacher allegedly pressed

01:54:08.670 --> 01:54:12.189
his genitals against a police vehicle's front

01:54:12.350 --> 01:54:17.329
bumper and began humping the car, loudly shouting

01:54:17.329 --> 01:54:22.109
inappropriate phrases. Oh my goodness. Despite

01:54:22.109 --> 01:54:24.909
repeated orders to stop, he continued until being

01:54:24.909 --> 01:54:28.829
secured and placed inside the patrol car. Charges

01:54:28.829 --> 01:54:31.689
filed on October 2nd, resisting law enforcement

01:54:31.689 --> 01:54:35.029

01:54:35.029 --> 01:54:38.149
B. Gallacher was lodged at the La Porte County

01:54:38.149 --> 01:54:43.340
Jail following his arrest. I mean, listen, if

01:54:43.340 --> 01:54:45.520
you're already going behind bars, why not make

01:54:45.520 --> 01:54:48.880
a story out of it? Really? Become a cult legend.

01:54:50.000 --> 01:54:53.079
This is the kind of stuff that that allows you.

01:54:53.199 --> 01:54:55.380
It's the kind of thing a Gallacher would do.

01:54:55.819 --> 01:54:58.020
Oh, it is definitely the kind of thing a Gallacher

01:54:58.020 --> 01:55:03.260
would definitely do. So on that note, that concludes
