Why World War 3 might be closer to us than we think

Transcript

This is a downbeat on ninety seven to one the freak. Did you guys hear my zeros spot? Oh dude, killed it, absolutely killed. It is that great. Oh my gosh, I can't believe you guys left the room. I was I saw your shoulder swamp when we left their own No, no, no, that was me shaking off the morning getting excited to talk about carpet cleaning. Bro Yeah, spelled the same. You have plaining

stories in an hour, Hamburgers. Thanks to you, man. I have this insane story from Virginia Beach, complete with audio of the event as it happened, of a guy driving his car off of a pier into the freaking ocean. I'm not gonna believe. Stay tuned, Oh yes, yes I will. Thirty minutes. You asked the right questions, Mike. Thanks. We'll talk about Luca's Big night, because that was nuts, f and nuts, and the Luca conundrum continues in this town. And I wonder if that

silenced that that for a while. What a response to getting into it with the media to do what he did. That's coming up in thirties right now. Parker University brings us the scuttle butt do you want me to get to the tough one. Do you you mean get through the tough one first and then do some fun stuff or I don't know, dude, you massage it as needed. Why do we need a tough one every day? Let me massage this squad. We're into the tough one first, all right? Do

you always ask for the bad news first if given a choice? Yeah? Yeah, let me sit down. Let's end on a high. Three American troops were killed dozens injured after a drone strike in Jordan yesterday. Joe Biden is blamed. I ran back to malicias. These militias have been They've had a few attacks on US troops. Is this the first one that killed people? So apparently there's only They usually have about three thousand American troops hanging out

and Jordan could's kind of centrally located over there in the Middle East. It's a strategic place for US troops to be centralized, kind of place to base some people. But they've been attacked more than sixty times since the war on in Gaza began back in October. The first one that was like that killed people, and the first one that was like specifically targeting American troops. So Biden had to you know, you have to go and respond to these things.

And he's like, we're gonna respond. Did he do this from a brewery? Yeah, he was at a brewery, sounding a little drunk. Oh god, God, it was fine. Grandpa says, he's fine. To drive home. Oh. The militias have said their strikes are in retaliation for Washington's support for Israel in the war with Hamas in Gaza, and they're planning to They've said they plan to push US forces out of the region. Whatever you want to say. My thought on all of this, I keep

coming back to it is this is one step closer. And I don't think World War three is going to feel like World War II, clearly, but it's all trending in that direction. In fact, this Texas to the doomsday clock. You guys ever pay attention to the doomsday clock? Where is it? Not really, it's just it's more it's more hypothetical that it is a real clock. I think, where do they keep it? Yeah, well they I don't know where they keep it, but there's a there's a group

that handles it. It's called the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. So this is probably in that vault in Yeah, they're in that mountain in Switzerland that we talked about last week. The doomsday clock is set at ninety seconds to midnight for the new year, for this year, ninety seconds. Well, I heard that part for the new year, you said, now for twenty twenty four. I would like to ask for one thing in this story, and that would be clarity. You have any for what clarity on? What?

Where is the doomsday clock? What does ninety seconds to midnight mean? I'm about to tell you when the rest of the segment happens. How about now, So it's at ninety seconds to midnight because humanity continues to face an unprecedented level of danger more than usual. Okay, because it was like one hundred and twenty seconds, you better get plenty of times it ninety. If they uptick that thing to sixty seconds to midnight, that means World War III

is started popping off. Well, you still have sixty seconds if things are calm. Where where's the clock at a half hour? Yeah, like an hour to hour and a half probably maybe a full Oppenheimer three hours. That's perfect. Peacetime is three hours to midnight. You know, Kevin, I have like six airplane stories. All you have to do is ask, what do you mean? So I thought you guys don't care about this. If you got if you guys don't care about piece in the Middle East, that's

on you mean. So there's this imaginary clock. Yeah, you've never heard of this. This is this increment of time doesn't offer any real I don't know understanding of what level of threat. I can understand threat level red. Yeah. Do we have a def con that we can associate with a color chart? Yes? And colors the color coded things cream, vanilla, that was the terror levels back in the day. They were not very clear on the terror colors magenta, violet. Like guys, they basic colors. Just

use them green as good, red as bad. Yeah, come on, government, taste the rainbow. The doomsday clock. You have never heard of the doomstake cock. Yes, we've heard of it. We just don't know where it is. Usually they're like a real clock. It's in your head. The clock is in your head, man, That's all you need to know. So the thing about the dudes they keep doing a show with Jim Morrison, Yeah, amen, yeah, or Charlie Manson, Okay, oh wait, hold on, see I'm now I'm scrambling to provide info that you

don't provide. Well, the second's not about the doomsday clock. It's about to be about Alyssa Milano. What they set the doomsday clock at two minutes to midnight in twenty nineteen. Yeah, one hundred seconds to midnight in twenty twenty two. Oh, that explains the Iron Maiden song two minutes to midnight. So now it's speaking a language I can understand. Dude. From one hundred to now it's ninety. Ok We're getting closer and closer and closer.

Yeah, but it was two minutes to mid Okay, so that's okay. So now we're less COVID ninety seconds. Yeah. See, we were one hundred, okay, two hundred. Then COVID hit one hundred and ninety and they're probably gonna keep pushing it up. The scientists did say leaders and citizens around the world should take this statement as a stark warning and respond urgently. So these I ran back. Militia said fine, we'll do a drone attack on the US. We lost three troops. It's sad story. That is.

John know the numbers on the peacock thing. After they had this streaming only NFL playoff game nineteen forty seven, it was at seven minutes to midnight. Yeah, that's the lowest the clock ever was you you just got done with the war and you assume we've got peace. Finally, the farthest time from midnight was seventeen minutes in nineteen ninety one and the nearest is ninety seconds set in January twenty twenty three, and they kept it there this year because

not much has changed in the last calendar year besides the Juma's war. Yeah, but uh yeah, I know the Iranian BacT Houthie rising. Yeah, now, well, yeah, that's what we have them. A bunch of militias are now going actress maliciously. Three million plus subscribers for Peacock. They added playing billion. Yep, you are kidding me, yep on one of them. It works. Three million new customers just like that, damn right

before the game platform again two point eight million streamers. What so that means they and that has roughly thirty million paying subscribers at the end of the year. So thirty million paying subscribers and you got three million. So based on an NFL playoff game, one game and the game, what even that good Chiefs Dolphins was twenty six to seven. I think there's that. I don't need the score. Yeah, I know. And once again, watch poker Face. It's good if you want to, you know, you catch Parks

and Wright, you know, go ahead and take that in. So if everybody subscribe just to watch that game and then you know, immediately afterwards like cut off their subscription, they made fifteen million dollars. I think it's five dollars a month, correct, I don't know. I think it is fifteen million dollars just off of that one bad game. How much did they pay for the game? Yeah? I think they I bet they paid more for it than fifteen million, right get the rights to that, Yes, certainly

they did that. They're what they're counting on are people like me that are going to have this thing. Forget about the subscription, and in five I'm gonna realize that I'm still got Peacock and have never used it one time. Allegedly, Peacock paid one hundred and ten million to air this game and one other, and it charges subscribers between six bucks and twelve bucks. Okay, yeah, I think I went with a six dollar option. Yeah, they

had that other Bills Chargers game late in the regular season. This is gonna happen more and more. This is gonna happen next year. We might start seeing playoff games. Bet you, I start see playoff games. Get this. I think we're at seventy five seconds. Now, Hey, why are lights flashing and dimming? Not too bright? Then that's too dark a little bit? Okay, yeah, okay, fine, I'm Kevin, that's Danny,

Mike KEVJ. Here. Guys, Lissa Milano's in the news. And I know that might seem like nothing, but this is kind of an interesting story to me. So her son plays baseball, twelve year old kid, one of those teams and those traveling teams. And she put out a tweet that says, my son's baseball team is raising money for their Cooperstown trip. Any amount would be so greatly appreciated. You could read more about the team and make a donation here. Okay, So what she's getting ripped for being

famous and asking for money? Yes, well she is super political too, so that's she's just right for the ripping. Now it says they were trying to get ten thousand dollars but man, I don't even I would feel weird about it, and I don't even know how much money she would even have. You know, it ain't like we see her in much either, but it'd be I would have a hard time if I was famous and it was kind of known. If I was in the we all knew who Lissa Milano

is, so it's not like she's like unknown. I would have a hard time asking anyone for money for my kids team to take a trip to Cooper's town if I was famous, Like there's a little bit of awareness that goes with that, right, Yeah, but she's worth about ten million. You know who knows that. I'm sure she doesn't have a briefcase with ten million

dollars in it. The Daily Mail's headline is Alissa Milano spotted driving her two hundred thousand dollars electric Porsche take Hand with son Milo to pet store days after asking for ten k donation for baseball team trip. Yeah. Can I be Devil's advocate here? Yes? Please? Okay, think about it like this.

Regardless of her wealth, she may have posted this for she may have been the host poster for this to aim this at people that may have had other kids on the team, people in their community that actually want to contribute towards this and be part of it. I mean, yeah, she could have just said, yeah, I'm gonna write a check for ten grand. But then it's like that bitch Alissa Milano just pays for everything and just tries to make us look like we're poor and we can't help. You know,

am that kind of thing? I don't know. Her car has a British racing green paint job that's custom and costs fourteen k more than the donation she asked for for Milo's trip. Uh, because that's how you do it is look at the other things and yell completely agree with daddy. How about lesson to the team, like hey, guys, we want to do something, we want to do it together. Maybe we make it out community together. Yeah. Yeah, It's just like Alyssa Milano has a daughter that wants to

sell girl Scout cookies. She doesn't just say, give me a million dollars worth of Girls Out cookies. You're the number one seller in America. It's still the kid is learning a lesson and learning, you know, to put some work in and try to earn something. I suppose by asking mom to retweet this, But you know her husband's also a little bit famous too. I guess David Bouogliari. Ah, yes, he's a Hollywood manager too. But I mean their team, they's probably where they live, so I mean

he lives there. But yeah, he works for Oh, he's the co head of CIA. He's the co head of Motion Picture Talent at CIA. So he's making way more money than she is. He damn sure is if he's the head of CIA. Good lord, I mean, I don't know, man, there's a level of awareness there. I think you may make a good point, daddy, and you want to be like a normal mom. Maybe yeah, And that might be a like where they're at in LA probably here in Hollywood era, probably just a bunch of rich kids anyways,

So it might not. But man, it does feel just a little bit tone deaf. I don't know. I won't be donating to that team so they can go to Cooper's town. Not not. You don't want to help a bunch of young kids go to the Baseball Hall of Fame? No, not these kids. Why don't you start to go fund me for some local kids? Then Kevio's kids, they thank God for Kevio's kids. We can

have Kevio's kids and you butt heads with the Hollywood elites. Yeah, you send some some Dallas kids from South South Allast Team to the Hall up to the Hall of Fame. No, I'll send them to the Nintendo store in Times Square. They can meet Mario in real life. Yeah, speaking of Cavio, that's something I did this weekend that I forgot to bring you guys the video that was really funny. You describe what a little video I sent you yus on Friday night. I mean it's I guess any guy who's got

a mustache now and has black hair and looks at Italian as Cavio. Me and Malcolm went to Pizza In to pick up a pizza. It's his favorite pizza, as it should be. It's really good for old school Did you know that Andrews American pizza, the original thin crust crust recipe is based on the old school pizza. So we hit a Pizza In in the neighborhood. We're sitting there waiting on our pizza, and he looks up at the Pizza

in guy, which is an Italian looking dude with a mustache cartoon. He goes, oh, Kevio, I've never met Malcolm in real life, and that's what he sees. He's seen a picture of you dressed as Kevovo and he sees an Italian baker man at pizza in I mean, hey, it's Kevio. Whenever some guy gets arrested and another in a foreign land or in America, but he's dressed up as Mario because he'd been out doing a bar crawl, and everyone tags up my mentions like Kevin, what are you doing?

Like like Danny hasn't been dealing with pig Pig news for two decades. I know, I don't know everything that happens with manatees.
