Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Yeah. At low. End. Welcome to episode number 57 of Unrelenting for January 20th, 2023. I am Darren O'Neill. The other voice you will hear comes to you live from somewhere. Is it in Texas? Is it in Russia? We don't know. But it's Sir Gene. Sir Gene never to leave of the of the Moscow never to we as we're. Where's the family from in Moscow. Oh, come. On. No you much. You're not anywhere near Moscow. Where. Please. More Minneapolis. Naftali. I was is a little flavor.
Yeah, exactly. I have a list of live. To be fair, Minneapolis of today might just be more red than Moscow is. I think it's always been. I mean, that it didn't seem that way back in the day, but I haven't been there in a while. I haven't been to Minneapolis since the Minnesota Twins played outside. I think that was the last time that it wasn't as red. It could be. Yeah, they've turned there a long time ago. You got lots of Somalis, and. By red we mean blue. But yes.
Yeah, well, same isn't that, is it blue. The new red. The mean we call. That is literally. The, the it's funny that the red you. Remember when they changed it. The red menace the but now that. I did a I did an article on this. You write. Articles to. Yeah. Amazing. And I tried. The the color blue stood for Republicans and red for Democrats up until the 1992 elections. That wait there was the switch over happened at that point.
Yeah I don't remember. This. Was there a reason get well why do you how does everybody get together and go, you know, we're going to do this? You know, that's that should have been a good sign, right? Because they all got together and they all change the color on the same year. Like you want this color? Yeah. Let's trade baseball cards. I think there was somebody have pointed out that, you know, we just we just won over communism. The walls came. Down. Right? The walls came down right.
And so they decided that let's give that color to the Republican. Interesting. I mean, I always think a lot of this stuff is the Mandela effect. Yeah. It's not if you if you're old enough and you've been around long enough to remember, you will see that there is no such thing as a mandela effect. Our brains are just mush now. They just actually change history. Well, they do. Well, this is also true, which makes it so much harder. Oh, it's so. Much harder to. Figure out what's. Going on.
Yeah, go ahead. And the next time, try doing a Google search or a YouTube search. More accurately. Do a checkup. I don't know if it goes back that far, but definitely check for images or videos of the 1984 election. And you will see that Ronald Reagan was reported as blue states and Mondale as red states. That's bizarre. We just acknowledge. And it was that way for ever since the start of television, really. Right. Which is like since the fifties.
So that was although now it's been about the same amount of time. Yeah. So it's about time to switch back. Let's let's trade colors again. I don't know why I tried listening to your millennial or Gen Z interview. How many seconds did you give it a try? 65 minutes, I think I made it at least 5 minutes. That's more than I would have expected. You I it was just. He was too. Hard to listen. To cringe for you. It well, it was just like, Dude, you're such an idiot.
Mm hmm. Mm hmm. And I'm sure he's not. I'm sure he's representative of. A high IQ. But not very street smart, not very like. He's. He's very typical of a kid that age. Honestly, I have to say, at any point in history. Yeah. The majority of the population of 20 year olds. Yes. Are extremely favorable and have been to socialist concepts, basically because they're used to having their mom do their laundry. I know. And when that changes, it's horrible. So horrible.
And then that's when you want more of that. You're like, Yes, yes, give me socialism. I don't want to do my own laundry yet. This does not seem like fun. Mm hmm. I mean, I let my wife do the laundry a few times. Then things started all turning out the same color. So kind of like cooking with it. I worry. About you. Sometimes. Just have to do that myself. So sticking to laundry, God damn it. Well, if you don't know what you're doing here, don't go get a job and bring me some money.
Well, she does. She. That's the beautiful part. Oh, yeah. It's amazing how that works. That's the different part. Well, someone's going to wear their pants in the family, I guess. Hey, I got a plenty of shorts, man. Why would I want to wear pants? Exactly. The shorts are way more comfortable. Uh huh. Yeah, no question about it. No question about it. Anyway, so did you then happen to listen to my next episode? The chance? No, I don't think it was up when I was listening to that.
No, it wasn't up then. It's. But it's been up for a week there. It's wait, you know, releasing episodes with regularity at Searching Speaks. It's crazy. Three podcasts and I'm still pumping them out 10 hours a week. Is that. All? Uh huh. I could do 9 hours more like than but so the next one, I interviewed a 28 year old. Oh, so you're getting older. So sooner or later you'll get to people our age. I'll finally interview somebody like you. Yeah. And the difference?
28 year old was vastly different than the 20 year old. See, that's it. Interesting. Mm. Because that's not I mean, you think about it and it's like, well that's not that big of a time difference, but it's the difference between that year is starting high school and exiting college. Really. So that's a lot of time, huh? Yeah, it is a lot of time and it's, I actually had some people reply saying, yeah, that was a grain of salt.
So. Well, after the last one they were like, wow, at this guy's more I guess. I guess. Well it's just the scary part is the 20 year old, you're like, Dude, you have so much to learn. And I know I was like that at 20. I have no doubt about it, that I was very secure in my although I was the guy at 120 at DePaul University in beautiful Schirach wearing the t shirt that had a drawing of slick Willie Bill Clinton on the front.
And the text on the front was if Bill Clinton is the answer and then the back the text read, It must be a really stupid question. So I was already firmly in the the conservative camp even by the time I had high school. So I never went through the liberal thing. So it's also very hard for me to understand. I know I get it. I remember when the Gulf War started and as we're in fact, I was actually selling T-shirts. Oh, God. I couldn't believe that.
But I was wearing and selling t shirts that said, Make money, not war. Which is exactly how they make money. Which is winning the war. And of me. Yes, Yes. But then what that did is it got me hated by both sides, right? Everybody's like, Fuck you. Yeah, yeah. Oh, you don't love America. Fuck you. You're like, No, no, you're misunderstanding. I love it so much. I want to I want to get as much money as I get because of America. And make money. You're worse than the other guys, huh?
So, yeah, I just couldn't win, you know? And then I'm just hanging out with the anarchists. Well, they are usually the most fun. Yeah, but I didn't do drugs, which is. Makes it less fun. It was like, Yeah, well, watching. The anarchists usually are the ones that become anarchists because they enjoy doing drugs. They have a different view of reality because of such. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm hmm hmm. Not necessarily better. Not necessarily worse, but definitely different.
Yeah. Yeah. So have you been paying attention to the drama happening on the right? Well, there's always drama happening. Very particular drama happening on the right. But which one are we? Are we talking about who is going to be the the face moving from the word? Or is this something. That we're talking about? Steven Crowder Oh, yes. He's got nothing to do with the right. That's just a. That is literally the two biggest conservative outlets in in alternative media. Well, The blaze is big.
Plays a small in both of them. But I mean they're bigger than say us The blaze has a disperse decent amount. Well we're we're 48 so you know we're getting there. We're at 48 people. We are just we're building one person at a time. Three and one day when we cross over that 50 person mark, then we'll expect to get to the nation's largest one. Steven Crowder is very much in the same vein to me as Tim Poole, which is. Yeah, that's because you're an old fart that only watches actual television
and YouTube. Sure. Now I watch YouTube all the time. But no, you watch television on YouTube. I watch television. I watch YouTube over my television. That's even the too. Seriously, That's just I sit down. It's made my point for me to act in. I open up my Roku and I go to my YouTube app and this is where I watch my YouTube is on my 60 inch TV. Yeah, yeah. You should be watching on your phone, goddammit. No, I should be watching it on my Apple Watch. Yes, yes. Oh, shit. I get this.
Your What do you do? And I bought one in the meantime. But I know I did it. No, you didn't. I did. I bought one. Yeah. Why did I just, like, charge and package your watch and you haven't gotten around to sending it. Although they could take this one back. If it doesn't do the same thing. But, see, the beauty was I was having a little bit more of the the AFib thing, so I wanted to be able to to track this. Okay, which one did you get? It is the cheapest series eight one.
Okay. And yes, so this is this would be the series six I believe when I get that I can send you. So this one is nice because I mean, the way it does the. Little. Instantaneous, they call it a EKG, very much like an EKG, just less information, less letters. Yes. Same amount of letters. Definitely don't get sued. Yes. Well, it's a I think it's an electrocardiogram. You see, that's the different thing. That's not that's not the same thing as your doctor.
No, no. It's totally well, it's because it's less connections, so it's a more basic thing. But for what it can do. Mm hmm. It is amazing. And I know I'm just catching on to something that's been around for, like, ten years. The. The hard stuff. Not quite as much as far as being able to do the little mini EKG thing. But, yeah. You know, this is nice because the issue that I've been having is very intermittent, which is I had this as a kid and I don't know if it's something good.
You don't want it happening all the time. Exactly. But then you're you can recover from it intermittently. Right. But when you go into the cardiologist office and they wire you up and go, nope, sinus rhythm, everything's fine. This is the ability to. Hey, you're having a little spell, get that data down and then you could print it out as a PDF and give it to your doctor extended electronically. I mean, it's it's a cool concept.
If not for the paranoia that all of your health data is now going to get into the wrong hands. I mean, honestly, I think that's the main reason I got an app for what's going on with is just for that purpose. To have all your data get out there to. No, no, no. There are the for the occasional EKG. Yes. Well, it it's it's a bureau. I mean, that was my cardiologist recommended this a couple of years ago. And I'm like, wow, I don't know if it's worth, you know, having that just for that.
But as you get older and people are dropping dead left and right, you're like, well, maybe this is an important thing to have to. Yeah, I just I'm looking at my heart rate variability here. So status is balanced. You wait and if your watch says your status is balanced, we know you need a. 23 milliseconds right now, which is really exactly where it should be. 23 what 23 milliseconds? What for the. For the heart rate variability.
Oh. On what is, what is that the variability of I, I was just scrolling through those last night. It's the, Yeah. The heart rate variability is the speed with which your heart can ramp up or ramp down. Your pulse. Are interesting. I know my pulse is very slow. Oh yeah. Well that's a good thing. How slow? Since starting on the Metoprolol or whatever, that, that beautiful drug that everybody in my family seems to be on now. Everybody in the world uses it by each other down every morning.
You chocolate down. That doesn't, that doesn't seem like you have just like I have a bucket of this stuff and you put your. Hands. Into it but it been running and wouldn't they resting probably under a little under 60 to like. Sam get dead That's very good. Yeah well I mean you don't want it to be like 100 or more. I think mine's 104. You might die at any minute during a while. I've been threatening to for a long time. Like, I'll show you.
But actually I have my metoprolol right here to take during the show, cause I normally take it at about 1030. So. You know. That's the schedule I'm on. I'm much better at just taking drugs once and not worrying about what time they're supposed to be taken. Or if they should be taken with food or mixing. Does really does that make any difference? You just get it into your system. I mean, I take so many of them, it's almost like food. You know, I was intrigued.
I think I have about 18 different things I take each morning. Well, I mean, as long as you know what they are. I used to. Now wait, where do they come from? Amazon. Oh, okay. So you have one of them pillpack things? No, no, it's not. They. They don't. Buy bottles. Real. Okay, so. Well, Amazon, they've got the thing now where they'll put them are. Prescribed by the doctor to either have or prescribed by me. But they'll still do that.
Amazon will do that, they'll put it in a package that you just then rip open. Oh, they will. They will. But it's the customer and wait. You have so much money. This would be a convenience. It would have no money. I don't you know, I'm like, I haven't worked for like the year. Yeah, but you were making like 14 million a week. You're in like the Biden payroll. You don't realize how fast they spend money. That's true. It doesn't matter how much money you may have.
It was like the Lisa marie Presley where they're like, well, she was paying now like a hundred thousand a month or something. Yeah, who isn't? Everybody listening right now is raising their hand like, I'm not I'm not doing that, but I like it so far. That's the program you worked for one month, 100 grand than the years unemployed the rest of the year. Right? You're off for 11 months and you can podcast and take a vow of poverty, which we certainly have when a no agenda. Yesterday?
Mm hmm. Divorced. I heard John complaining about that. Yeah. It was interesting the numbers and I know these things. Definitely donations from a million people. It's amazing, huh? So you start doing the percent of like if the fact that we get any donations whatsoever is like an act of God. Yeah, well, we're just that good. I mean, we didn't today, so we're not that good today. We're not that good today. I mean, but it's always about the last show. So really, we weren't that good last week.
No, we had one booster game last. Week and that was but that was for the previous week. So we everybody just. What I'm saying, it's a delayed reaction. So jump in quickly on the booster grams. They're always open. Yeah. And you can support the show. For free newspaper delivery. Just think of all the drugs G needs to buy. The Steven Crowder thing. Yes, it's very, very interesting. It's and the reason I never paid attention to him is the fact that I still see him more as a comedian.
He is a comedian and he was an actor and he hasn't acted for a while. So I don't really want to get my news from him. No, he is entertaining. He is entertaining, right? He is. He's witty. And I do appreciate the stuff he's done on location. Yes. Oh, like showing up in drag at South by to harass UGA. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. Or you were like in their fifties or they were young once at some point. And then also in naming your group for a genocidal army is that probably the best thing either.
Way Now that shows you have a sense of humor. Yeah. The Young Turks were literally the guys that were exterminating the Armenians. Yeah, but so were the Catholics. Were the exterminating. Everybody knows that about the Catholics. Not everybody knows that about Turkey, I suppose. Yeah. I mean, Catholic. They still hold the world record. Hey, you got to be shot. But didn't quite get there. It got to number one. So the drama for those of you not in the loop. Yeah, I need the details.
I saw there was a $50 million deal. Yeah. Steven Crowder puts out a video and creates a website essentially to them. Why is my doctor calling me? Oh, are you dead? And you don't. Even know I'm going to know that. Oh, let's. See. This is why your health is going downhill. Your doctor is calling him. I'm sick. I'm doing a podcast, man. Don't bother me. It's like, Oh. Alive. When I. When I watch knowing I'm alive. You made up.
He's like, your Apple Watch is letting us know you should be dead right now. Right? It's not That is an Apple Watch. But if you have a gene watch. I have a Garmin watch. I do have a G watch. Yes. Oh, interesting. Yeah, I upgraded. Programed in Soviet. Russia and Germany. I hardly think so. They're military contractor. This watch is so cool.
Not only will tell me how my heart rate variability and my blood oxygen content all through the night it will actually talk to a laser range finder and tell me the correct angle and offset when shooting somebody. Interesting. That is a lot of good information. It's a very full featured watch. Yes. When somebody breaks into your house in the middle of the night, the thing tells you what where to point when you can't see it has.
Yeah, It's not just based on the barometric pressure and the density of air and do all the calculations and give me the right solution. A lot of people you don't that don't know you were a sniper in the Soviet army back in the eighties. Well, I mean, I. I wouldn't necessarily put it that way. How would you put it? I probably wouldn't, but but I do like the long range shooting.
Anyway. So Steven Crowder, for the third time, he put out a video that had a contract that he had blacked out the identifying parts in, and he basically for about half an hour railed on this particular contract. And then in general talking about how nobody should be signing contracts like this and that the conservative media out there that that exists, including like Glenn Beck and The Blade liberals are right. Right. That he referred to them as big con. Now that's a that's a play on words.
Of course, because. Conservative they're big. Conservative media versus independent media, but also playing like making fun of them as like it's all a con, right? They're in cahoots with a big tech. And he literally said, Yeah, big, big con is in cahoots with big tech. And as a proof of this, he pointed to his contract example that, you know, the one that he was referring to that had which. Was allegedly his or was this which.
Was it was just his, He said, yeah, he'd been talking to a few companies. This was one of those. He didn't name who it was. But in that contract, it says for missing a one Daily Show, the penalty was $100,000. So this was a. Contract that he was saying that he had signed or he no sign. That he didn't sign because it's a horrible contract. Right. You miss what he's been under that. That's the penalty for missing one episode.
Yeah. Yeah. Or from like missing the year like once a year documentary thing that or something. We kind of show it yearly show like a $250,000. I'm glad I don't have this pointing out to this as No you you would love to have this contract putting out to this as these horrible things. And in the comment section there was a bunch of these idiots that watch Crowder and it's mostly idiots watching them, in my opinion, that there were all gung ho about this. Yeah, yeah, fuck them. This is bullshit.
And I'm the only one I'm seeing coming. Like, Hold on, hold on, guys. Now, if this contract is for $100,000, I'm right there with you. But if this contract, which it most likely is, is for $50 million, that's a very generous US amount of money. Yes, it's like a million bucks a week. And if you miss one. Huh? Uh huh, uh huh. If it was a week. Right. Right. And then nobody seemed to understand this concept of percentages. Everybody's looking at the raw numbers.
And of course, Crowder Well. They don't. Know. Not an idiot. He only shows one side of the raw numbers, so you can't even calculate the percentage, right? So this happens, uh, 24 hours later during the middle of term gas, which, of course everybody knows I watch religiously. You do that, there's a person that posts a comment in the comment section and says, Hey, Jeremy just put out his rebuttal video. So of course everybody had to drop what they're doing and go load up Jeremy's video.
Who is with me? I don't know. He's the CEO of Ben's company. Okay. So basically Ben's partner is that. Yeah. Yeah. They'll go. So enough. The Daily. The Daily Wire. Daily wire. Right, y'all. These days. Ben is the, you know, the face guy. He's in front of the camera. This guy is the business guy. And he's also the guy that did the hilarious ad for Jeremy's razors. That's their product that competes with Harry's razors. I have not seen. I haven't seen it. You got to watch the ad.
Somebody sent it to me once. You probably. This is. Hilarious. It's so over the top and it's shot in the style of Harry's razors ads. You remember what the it is? Kind of. Yes. Guy walks out and as he's talking to the camera and walking, people are giving him shit or he's like changing clothes and, you know, it's a very distinct style. And so this is a total parody, but it's a real product. They actually create a razor company. Diversification is a good thing.
So he puts out a a 45 minute video saying, look, Steven Crowder decided to bring this contract up. And if anybody is wondering and then there were people trying to defend this, saying this can't possibly be The Daily Wire's contract. So I just wanted to clear the monitors here. Yes, this is indeed our contract. So now that it's out, let's go through it line by line and I can explain to you the rationale. So he went through it very well.
I would say talked about every single line in the contract, every clause, every statement in there, why it is the way it is. And also that, hey, this, by the way, is also not a contract. This is a term sheet. The term sheet is essentially a proposal. And you send that out before you start doing contract negotiations so that the other party knows kind of where your head's at. Right. You're in the right ballpark. Right.
And then they would sign that and say, okay, let's start the contract negotiations. That's where the other side would start pushing out the things that it really didn't like. Right. Here's your starting point, trading. Things off, right? It's like, well, we can get rid of this, but I got another than just this other thing. Right? We don't like that $100,000 we want to do. But this is this is the first proposal, if you will, before any negotiation.
So so Crowder was kind of just pretending he didn't know that negotiations happen. Crowder referred to it as a contract, not a term sheet, first of all. And it wasn't a contract. Secondly, Crowder, according to Jeremy, never bothered negotiating key. He said this is nowhere near what I'm looking for. You guys need to go out and get a real contract put together. And that was it. Like eventually he acted like the prima donna that he is and that, Oh my God, how dare you only offer me $50 million?
That's ridiculous. And then they came back and said, Look, we've thought about it. We really I don't think we can work together because we can't really afford you if you're way more than that. Right. You're not in the ballpark. Right. And that was that for two months, two months went by. Nothing and then tried to reach back out to them, call them again just a few days ago and and said, look at this thing. You just stop sitting right with me.
You guys really should put together something in the ballpark of 120 million. Well, wow. Hey, what time period are we talking here? What, per year? Or is that like a ten year contract? That's a it's a four year contract. Okay. Four year contract. And and Jeremy said, yeah, you know, this really outside of our range. So good luck. Wish you the best night going to be with us And then the next day is when Crowder put out his video. Oh, of course.
And so if you just watch the Crowder video and your IQ is under 100, then you're going to say, Oh, my God, these people are taking advantage of this poor Steve Crowder guy, you know, a Canadian-American who who really deserves better because he's clearly worth more than Joe Rogan. Right? Well, yeah, if you look at that, I was just doing the math. He's asking for at that 120,577,000 a week. For. To do it. Joe Hey, I would do a lot of shows for five. Seven, especially a lot more than that.
It's a lot more than that because the contract was only for 192 shows per year. Oh damn. Mhm. Because he needs two months off. Well I need at least three paid. Two months off. That's crazy. So at 180 shows per year he's looking at $120 million over four years. So 30 million the year essentially 30 million a year to do 182 shows. The 30,000,192 show. How long are the show is To be fair? Uh, I don't know. Whatever they currently. Are. Yeah. If they go an hour or two. Hours, maybe.
That would be 100. And if it's per show, would be 156,000 per show. Right. So now does that penalty of $100,000 if you miss a show seem okay, seems. Great to me. I mean, kind of feels like it should be 156,000. The show penalty doesn't we? Trolls in the troll room. I have no name. Says there are two hour shows, so that's $78,000 an hour. Yeah. Yeah. For Steven. I would do with at least one show a year. Maybe two. Yeah, I'll show you that.
This is the problem. That's exactly what I would be doing. You're like, This is enough for the rest. Of the year off right about this. You're like, This is enough money for me to buy the Scotch. I want to have steaks every. Night. And pay for all the drugs that I'm going to need because I'm drinking so much scotch and eating so much steak. So yeah, exactly. If you get to like four or five shows, you just feel like you're being greedy. I mean, sure.
You know, so that was that was one of the items that Steve didn't like. He didn't like. Well, yes, I have. The weight of everything. Is pointing out there's a lot of hours of production behind the scenes. But I'm betting he doesn't do it and somebody else is getting paid for that. Not out of his. Well, no, it is coming out of his salary because once. All the induction comes out of his. Yeah. Because he wants that. Because he wants that level of control. Got it.
So normally for all the other people they do it like obviously Ben, but also like Jordan Peterson is on their deal. You know, they don't want to have anything to do with production. They just want to show up, be talent and leave. I'd love it. Kind of like me. Oh, right, Right. That's all I do here. I just I'm talent. I show up. I did a show and I li. I do the same thing, except I press. I know I would.
I would sometimes, occasionally wish you would do a little more production, but, you know, whatever. I render, I make your voice sound as buttery as it can. My voice is super smooth and buttery, and all time. Well, we'll still be doing shows at midnight and see. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not our no. I get to pick the time and that's how it works anyway. Little Morning Glory. That's right. So Crowder bitching about that?
He's bitching about the exclusivity stuff. He's bitching about how he doesn't like that whatever content is created during these four years is going to stay with them, and that revert to him. So he wants the copyright and control of everyone as well. He Well, of course, yes, he's a prima donna. And then you run your own damn company. Exactly. And this is the other thing that Jeremy pointed out, which I think is very telling, is that, you know, SIM Crowder is super. You know, he's very popular.
He had like how many he had. It was something insane. It was like he had 200 and some thousand people watching his livestream during the election. Like way more than any TV channel. Oh, yeah, he's by far I think he eclipsed back at the Blaze as far as popularity. Totally, totally. And but he said, Jeremy said that you got to remember Stephen's never done this before. He he has had three different companies that he has essentially worked for Slash with. I can't remember the first two.
The third one was Glenn Beck's outfit, The Blaze. And now that he's left the Blaze, he was looking for a Joe Rogan sized pay up. And so he has no idea about what it actually takes to do this and the costs that are that are spent on his behalf, the marketing cost, the production costs, post whatever production they do. There's they're it's a machine, right?
It's not just a it's not just we get his tape, we have the play button and make money and and so he's always had just like and this is part of the reason I don't like his current show format like it's really annoying to me. I, I probably have the same feeling towards it as you did towards Tim Cass. I can't watch a bunch of idiots sitting around. It's just not my thing. And there may be. Some good information coming out, but you just don't want to wait two.
Hours to get 10 minutes of good information. Yeah. Now again, I totally have the opposite reaction to his on location stuff. When I watch those videos of him. You know, feminism is fascism. Prove me wrong type videos. Those are great. He does a very good job of those. He's got all the binders. He's prepared. He doesn't attack the college students. He does a good job of, you know, being nice to them essentially. So those videos are awesome. Those are great work.
You got to you got to leave your house. You got to go somewhere else, like usually to a different city where they don't know you, where they they haven't put a you're banned from campus, right? You know, no trespassing for you kind of thing And and so he doesn't do those now he's married with kids so not like east anyone he and you know people that have left his show like Jared said the guy's name I can't remember the guy's name. But again. No, I could not tell you.
Yeah, I know One of the guys left the show. I check out. All their their contract. They can't compete with them. They've got you know, he's got his own contract for his people. They're not getting paid anywhere near what he's getting paid, but he's acting like a prima donna when it comes to. Well, I deserve more. I deserve better. It's like, dude, then do your own thing. Yeah. They literally said, we can't afford you at the higher price. Good luck. All right. Because you're pricing yourself out.
If you're looking for a contract like that, you're telling yourself, well, and the rest of the world that you don't think you could do this on your own, so you're going to somebody else to get the bigger buck. Yeah, Yeah, exactly. It's like, dude. And then the the sympathy for him right away or like, yeah, this is this is a not even like close to a real offer.
Steven Crowder is bringing 3000 or 300,000 mug club subscribers with him when he joins so and that's you know ten bucks a month so 120 bucks times 300,000, you know, do the math and then. It was so there's he's got 300,000 subscribers, he. Said. So he's basically got 36 million, allegedly 36 million in donations coming in. From the mug club. Right. From my globe. Yeah. And, and I'm going to call bullshit on that. What you said 300,000. Okay. Right then it is 120 bucks. If it's ten bucks a month.
Huh. So 36 million. Yeah. That's. Yeah. Right. Granted is that being processed by somebody that's charging them 10%. So you bring that down. It doesn't matter. He doesn't have anywhere near that again to you. And I'm looking here, that's just. No a round. But she has. YouTube, you know that everybody that tells you what the YouTube channels are. His YouTube channel has four and a half million subscribers. With. A daily ad revenue anywhere between 400 to 3500 a day.
Nothing, which is I mean, granted I think his you. Actually that's is capturing literally wrong because he is demonetized it's permanently demanded so those numbers don't even mean anything. But if you're just helping zero ad revenue from YouTube. Well there again what I'm what they don't care if the channel's been demonetized or not they're guessing that something similar to this this is the average daily average ad revenue that you can make. Right would.
Still is it nowhere near his if you want 170. Six. Thousand for show and you can make a daily ad revenue of about 3600. Yeah not even close. But I think that his point is like I'm bringing in millions of subscribers with me that are sending money right now. The idea would be were he to move over to Daily Wire is to then just tell all your subscribers that instead of subscribing to my club, you subscribe to Daily Wire plus for the same as ten bucks a month.
And now you not only get me, but you also get Ben and everybody else. Canvas everybody else for that channel. The real question is what is going to happen to the subscriber base at the Blaze? Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. The blaze is definitely going to lose audience here. But. But how much is the question? Yeah, I, I don't think they're going to lose 300,000 people.
Right. Yeah. But this is how it all ends up because you're kind of like this is where the concept that our buddy Adam Curry has said for years, you can't monetize the network. This is basically kind of further proof of that, which is, well, the concept that one guy coming in is going to bring everybody over. It's like, no, and I don't like doing that kind of stuff. If I don't like, I like the system that Bill O'Reilly uses, which you pay him his money.
For around this because O'Reilly's not on the network. Right. But it's but you're paying the money and you're getting his content. I hate this shit where it's like you pay the blaze. I want Glenn Beck, but I feel like whatever I'm paying to the blaze, I'm like, shit, I'm giving money to Crowder and Dorsey and all these other assholes that I don't want to watch. Yeah, and I totally get that. But if everybody's just doing their own thing, then will ever get big because you need synergy.
You need to have networks in order still big. You really think that still brings in people like because people were fans of Glenn Beck, they found Crowder because he was on their network and. This is it. YouTube where this all happens now. It is YouTube's network. So I mean, does anybody the smaller networks, does this really matter? I'm not sure if it's like The Daily Wire. Here's the thing. The Daily Wire is the it's growing faster.
And every part of the reason it's growing faster is because they've got the money to pay people. The reason they have the money to pay people is because they're really good at advertising. Now, it's somewhat annoying to hear five ad reads per hour right? But that's how they're able to pay Jordan Peterson tens of millions of dollars. Well, we come from the different universe where ad reads aren't needed. Well, I'll back that down really quickly because I would say they're not needed.
But when you look. At what has been happening lately. Yeah, the ad reads may be. Needed for. A show to make money. Yeah. So the point is that they're still making money. They're still hiring people in the and they're making movies. They're doing other stuff. They're not I wouldn't necessarily say they're like the ultimate example of a perfect network by any stretch. Networks generally fall apart due to personalities.
That's been the case for YouTube networks forever, and there have been tons of networks on YouTube where, you know, two or three or maybe even just one large YouTuber says, you know, I've built up an infrastructure that costs hundreds of thousands or maybe a million bucks to put together. Let's offset the costs by bringing in some smaller YouTubers into my network, and then we'll be sharing resources, including advertising, including like, you've got to hire somebody to go out and sell ads.
That is a small YouTuber or podcaster. You can't afford to do that. Because that makes you. Can. Right? When you have such a large audience that you've you're working with advertisers, you can then you're rate a new lesser known person and be like, Hey, we want some of this ad money. The guy here, I just saw a number recently here and I, I believe it. It makes sense. It's reasonable that overall in 2022, Daily Wire spent seven and a half million to advertise shows on their network.
Now 7 million is more than 99.9. 99% of YouTubers make. Oh, yeah. Advertising and how much they're spending on ads. Yes, they're making more. You know, their shows exist. Yeah. It's so they it's not like they're saying, Hey, come work for us. We'll give you half the money you make. They're saying, Come work for us and become bigger so that your share is bigger than what you currently make alone so. You could live over the years. You also make a big share. Yeah.
Then you can leave in four years and make even more money. Right. And that's and they say that too, because that was his other contentions. Like if you're a young YouTuber, you're rising young, don't sign contract like this, it's horrible for you. Their point is you're an idiot because that's exactly what you should be doing. As a young YouTuber, you get your free notoriety and you know, like you're on the network. No one's ever heard of you except for a handful of college kids.
And then by the time you leave, in four years, you're still young, you do your thing, and now you're able to wait for those multimillion dollar offers. So even if you're working essentially for, you know, a paltry salary, like 200 grand a year right now, you're still able to capitalize on that when you. Leave, right? You'll pay your dues.
And you see this all the time in sports where somebody comes up and they have a very small contract, especially like baseball is the one I'm most familiar with, because your original contracts are next to nothing and they come out of the gate and they are super. Hot, so. They're not making money all of a sudden. And that's exactly what he's rallying in his head. This model of Hollywood and sports has to go away. It has to die. This is just you know, it's unethical.
For people that have already built their own audience. He's right. Right. But nobody is pressuring him to do a deal. And if he truly believes that his donation could result in 36 million a year, that means he's over 120 million already for a four year deal and that he'd be an idiot. Let me rephrase that. He'd be a complete idiot to try and apply to be somewhere as an employee or contractor or profit sharing model when he ought to just build his own thing because he has the money.
Well, these are things that fail out of well, or. At least these two things can exist side by side if they can coexist where. You just can't do that. Any time you join a network, that's like saying, Hey, I want to play baseball professionally, but I also want to retain the right to play baseball in the Mexican League. At the same time. There have been baseball players, I mean, very few. But Bo Jackson played football and baseball. So you extra monetize.
There's that's two different sports if you want to do. Well Yeah but like Glenn Beck he's got like 14 different shows with his name It's possible we're playing him well. I know they're all the same because they're all him, but you could be like, Well, I'm signing up for here. You'll get the Glenn Beck Show. But the Glenn Beck podcast still goes on, and I could still make money like that. Yeah, you can. You can separate stuff like that out.
But obviously that also reduces how much money you're going to get paid from either source. You would think somebody owns all of you. But those companies like, Hey, we only need two shows a week from you for 2 hours each that you could do whatever you want with the remaining time then sure. But that's not going to pay you $120 million over four years. Well, if you're Stephen Colbert sure thinks that way.
So there are two people that we know of, maybe more that, you know, two that I can think of that had contracts that were that size are bigger then, of course, Howard Stern. Right. And they go to satellite and then Joe Rogan to go to Spotify. And Crowder thinks he's in that league. Clearly. Nobody's in that league anymore. I don't even think Rogan was in that league, but they paid stupid money for him.
The stern thing made sense because satellite radio was really before the Internet, before it was easy to do your audio on the Internet. And it was they gave him a channel of 24 seven all his content. Which was a great deal for him. Which is a hell of a deal for him. And it meant no FCC fines, no anything. The problem is, at least in my mind, is it took away the morning guy because I didn't wake up to satellite radio. I had satellite radio in the car. Right.
And so the guy I woke up to was the local guy and then the world. Why bother listening to anybody else after that? Yeah, it certainly changed because they were two totally different mediums for delivery. Yeah. So now with with the internet, if Howard would have gone directly to Internet, maybe that would have been less of an issue. He could still have been the morning guy, but that to me changed. Then it became kind of like, you know, raunchy drive time is.
He definitely amped it up after leaving terrestrial radio. In terms of raunchiness, there's a lot more orgasms happening and. I would say that a lot of people would make the case that the show became a lower quality because half the fun was seeing what you could get away with, right? How you could use double entendre, how you could do things. Yeah. And it was you had a different crew as well, people listening. That is so yeah, it. Was it was definitely different.
I think it became more of the show for the for the the 30, 40, 50 year old guys who remember being in college and listening to Howard Stern. Right. But anyway, neither here nor there. And then, of course, Rogan is he moves in the opposite direction in terms of free speech. He went from being able to say almost anything to having a limited selection of things he can say, but for a lot more money. And that is the question. I mean, was Rogan just unable to make anywhere near that on his own?
Oh, yeah, absolutely. So I mean, he took the money and ran. I get it. You know how much it was. I don't know what he was making on his own and how much the bump was to go with Smart. I mean, Spotify money was crazy, but yeah. It was people were for a long time saying, yeah, it's $100 million deal for three years. Well, it turned out it was 200 million. For three years or more. For I can't remember three or four. It doesn't really even matter. Like say 50 million a year.
Yeah. Like 50 million a year. And that's again that's closer with Crowder ones which I'm sorry. No, because Dorgan's appeal is mass appeal, not politics, which means people from every side love him or hate him. He's got guests on both sides, and a lot of his guests are literally apolitical. They're people talking about sports nutrition. There are people talking about the drugs. Right? They're like recreational drugs. He's got anything that might affect your life.
He's got may stars, He's got a wife, a variety of people. He he has an interesting interview style, a pretty good one. I've certainly seen better interviews, but is pretty good. He's engaging and he knows when to shut up, which is hard. And he knows how to shut up. Exactly which most interviewers just completely don't. By the way, feel free to compliment Lee about my shutting it up. When I interviewed that 20 year old. Dude, I was I was screaming at the beginning.
So I know there were some you were like, Oh, no, but that's not the point of an interview. If it wasn't, if you were debating him, that would be one thing. But getting his viewpoints down and there was some stuff that was just so far so funny. I did get. Into a little more pushback in the second half of that show. And and he started backing down on a lot of these things and trying to explain his way out of them. Well, because. You think you know it, but you don't know the details and.
No, because it's not that hard to ask a question that, you know, he doesn't know. Right. And then all of a sudden it's like my gear. Let me show you why you're wrong in the end, maybe learn something. But I was having fun because I started at 1.25 speed and then I went to 1.5 and I'm then I'm like, well, let's let's see what 2.0 sounds like. Oh, baby, There you go. Now I got to go on strike three. Point oh for a brief time.
But that was giving me I think that was going to put me into A-fib because yeah. Probably. Three is a little too fast. Yeah. To act. So you could listen to my songs if you want to really pay attention. I think one and a half is about yes. Yeah. You want to be able to actually absorb what's being said. Audiobooks. If it's a just a funny comedic audiobook, I'll usually play the two acts. If I'm like really trying to follow the characters, I'll play it at one and a half act.
Rarely do I play anything over two acts, but also rarely do I ever listen to anything that quote unquote normal speed right? But with the crowd exiting, the thing I don't understand is once you've reached that certain level and I was shocked, I tell you, when Taylor Swift everybody knows I love a little t swizzle. A lot of a lot of her. Yeah. Well, there's a lot to love when she lately. Her. Record label deal. Oh yeah that remember.
That rather than starting her own label, she went with Universal with another huge conglomerate which I still don't necessarily understand. It's like when you are at the top of the music game, and I think she is either the top artist selling right now or at the very least within the top five. Of these rappers outselling every other kind of music by 10 to 1. Right now, I. Don't know about that. But again, streaming is totally changed. The whole model and where money is coming from.
I don't believe that rap is outselling. I mean, there may be more people listening, but I don't necessarily believe it's outselling. There was a mean great. And again, this doesn't seem that crazy when you think about the fact that vinyl is a different concept. But it vinyl for the last couple of years has outsold CDs. So CDs are finally dying. That yeah, that they could the hell buy seeds. I haven't bought a CD in 20 years.
I've bought the Taylor Swift ones, but just haven't even opened them because I end up downloading them in FLAC and then. MM But she released a few at least four or five different vinyl variations of her last album and last year, one out of every 25. So and again, 4% doesn't seem that crazy, but 4% of all vinyl sold last year was hers. When you realize how many artists are selling vinyl, that is kind of impressive. I've got the stats right now.
Paid subscriptions represent 80% of the music industry market in the US. Which is crazy when you think about that because I'm still not sure how they separate all of that. The last stats I remember hearing are, you know, you get like 1/1000 of a penny for every streaming song that an artist, you know. So if you get a thousand streams, you get a penny. What you get you do online on YouTube, you do. They add up to be fair. But 3600 impressions for a buck. So it's like, that's not great money.
No, podcasting pays more. Which is sad. But YouTube has the volume. It does, but I'm not sure why Taylor Swift decided to go with another conglomerate. You would think, knowing what percentage. To be fair, we all know what we're talking about. Contracts with Steven Crowder. Yeah. Taylor Swift didn't get the generic contract. She was probably the one that drew up the contract and gave it to them. She was probably. Well, given that her dad's a lawyer. Yeah, well, I think that she was smart enough.
I'm like Crowder to hand off negotiations and not get emotionally involved. Right. And just know that the people working for her are going to get her the best possible deal. Yes. And, you know, it's kind of like being Aaron Judge, you know, the superstar in baseball now. I don't know who that is. He's the guy that broke the home run record last year. It was big news.
You know, when the ball that you hit the record tying home run sells for over a million bucks, you know that your contract is going to be going to be pretty big. Right. And he just again, didn't let emotion because he was is that Yankee player. They ended up coming in with the highest offer. But other people came in with a lot of money. And you're right. You have to take the emotion out of it. You got it. You can't get emotional about this stuff.
And then when you are number one, I don't know where Steven Crowder comes on this list. Well, he yeah, I mean, the only thing that I know for a fact he was number one on he's had the biggest audience during the elections live streaming than I do now. What are you bringing in to the company that's going to pay you. Right now and and so and there's look there's nothing wrong with thinking you're undervalued and going off and doing your own thing. God knows I did that when I was in my twenties.
You're still working for a consulting company? Well, I'm doing it now because I'm an hirable. But back then, you know, I was working for consulting company and hirable. Yeah, unrelenting and hirable. But I was working for a consulting firm, and I. I was like, I'm doing the math in my head. I know how much I'm charging clients. I know how much I'm getting paid, and they're getting like two thirds. I'm getting a third. I'm like, Well, this is bullshit.
This is a screw and a half. So what am I going to do? I'm going to leave them, start my own business and go off and get my own clients and and. And most people undervalue themselves. Yes. Well, or over. I would say. Well, one or the other. What you realize is that this sounds great in principle, but. But that two thirds that they were taking, which was excessive for sure, but it's not like that money was just going in as profit, like they were paying a sales guy to sell me. Right?
They were paying administrative people to do all the books and track all the expenses on crap and to keep reminding me because I was perpetually late, I'm getting expense reports then, like there are other people that were getting paid off. The money that I was billing because if they weren't around, I probably wouldn't be working for the whole year. I'd be working for a month. A year, right? So it's you have to remember that the person that you think is the bad guy really is the bad guy.
He's usually the slightly worse guy. So let me finish the story up. So this all happens. Jeremy's video drops and refutes pretty much everything as far as I'm concerned or is doing and points out a few things like Crowder has always worked for somebody doesn't understand what it takes to run a company and it said 50 million which you know they said look this is this was our initial proposal. We were open to negotiation if you wanted to push up. But he didn't bother wanting to negotiate.
He just said, this is insulting to me. Come back with something when you're serious. So they came back with basically, yeah, we're not going to do that. They're like, No, thank you. And then pissed him off further because clearly nobody came back to him with an offer that was acceptable to him. And so that came out. And it just so happens that Candace Owens, who works for The Blaze, was scheduled to be on Tim Fuller yesterday. And so Candace has a mouth on her.
And boy, was she opinionated and she just called out that big old white boy. Like there's you know, like there's no tomorrow here. She was saying that effectively he was pointing out how stupid all the other people working for Daily Wire were for taking such horrible offers, even though they were all for much less money than what he was asking for. And, you know, essentially he just painting everything associated with Daily wire with a very negative brush.
So she called out a few other things about him and she said, Yeah, I know a lot more about him and how he treats his employees. And so there is more drama developing. And now Crowder is supposed to be on Temple's show tomorrow. Or they know Monday he supposed to be in Temple Show on Monday. And now the bets are starting to come in whether he's going to be there or not.
If he's going to cancel, it's because he can't handle the heat because he has definitely brought a lot of heat on himself at this point. He's got multiple PR. I wouldn't be surprised if Jordan Peterson weighs in on this and points out to about what a bodyguard they gave them. What's the word? The, you know, personally thinks they're the best now, A narcissist. Narcissist. Yeah. Start talking about what are the traits of a narcissistic complex. Well, then using Crowder as an example.
Well, what I can say. I think he's definitely generating a lot of buzz. At least the people that are inside politics and normal people don't give a shit. All press is good press. They're But maybe I think he's also burning some bridges. Well, I don't I don't see the next big company wanting to have a prima donna like him working for them. It's hard to find. He's going to leave no choice but to just do it himself. Which is maybe where he should have been.
But it's hard to find somebody that is a better debater now than Candace, though. And she is vicious. I should I don't, I don't think she's a very good debater. I think she's too emotional to be a good debater. Well, but this is what the. I think somebody who is a master debater. But because they want the emotion that's how you get people on your side is using emotion. So that's how you do it.
But I was looking at the wiki page here and Crowder I didn't know he started at age 12 a voice actor playing Ellen The Brain Powers on the Children show Arthur my nephew watch that all the time. But he was. I know he's an actor. He's but this is, I think part of why he's so pissed off because his whole life from 12 to 45 or whatever the hell he is right now, he's always been under contract. That would make sense.
And somebody has always owned everything he's done and then paid him for it rather than him owning his own stuff. So and so. Fox News, then Breitbart, and then he wound up. With Beck. Yeah, Yeah. And in fact, the way that the the Jeremy described it is he's always had a billionaire owned company that he's worked for. And I think he's just used to having that unlimited budget that you could go to daddy for and say, Oh, but look at all the stuff I'm doing. I really deserve more.
It's an actor attitude. And ironically, and maybe not so ironically, this is what like Crowder is acting like the typical prima donna on talent, but he's also trying to act say that we need to stop doing contracts like everyone's an actor. I and there's a lot of baggage she's carrying with us. A lot of baggage. Well, this have heard this with people following sports for the longest time is hey, you know what? You should get paid based on how you do each year.
Not signed the big contracts, but that's just not how it works because nobody would sign up for that. Meaning? Well, if I break my legs two weeks into the season sliding into home, will that I get zero. Right. So that's exactly right. But that's so. So the example that Jeremy used was when Crowder didn't like some of these bothers is Jeremy said So if if you do your show and we sell ads on it and then we make $2, you get a doner and we get a dollar.
And if all of a sudden you get a ban on YouTube. It makes zero. And we can't sell ads. If you're not on YouTube, then the way they're their contracts written is the payout to him would go down by 50%. So then he gets you know and that. Is their that's where they're making a lot of their money is by posting the content on YouTube. Well it's all sorts I mean it's everything Spotify, YouTube, you name it. They're in charge of all the advertising in all platforms.
And so if he can't do something on YouTube, then his his pay gets reduced. But after 90 day chicken clause. So it's like if he gets banned for a week, there's no it doesn't affect the salary. You know, if he gets banned for a month, doesn't even effect the salary, he'd have to be long term banned or perma banned. Bro, you love a good rebellion. Well, I'm you know, I was banned on all the platforms.
Nobody likes me leaning no agenda chat so room Yeah that's we you refer to it as but and they're uh he his answer was like well no you should take the whole loss. So I should just keep getting paid the same salary no matter what then, because you're the one that should be taking the risk, right? I'm going to say something that's going to get me banned. But it should cost you money, not me. And, well, yeah. More importantly, I'll say something that gets me banned, but I shouldn't have any effect.
Like there should be zero impact to me because of that, which obviously Jeremy thought was ridiculous. Which it is. Well, yeah. And our only. Option was watching it. He's like, well, hold up. Well, he's still going to get half a salary though. Why? If. If I was writing the contract, you wouldn't get anything, right.
So the team is very much seeing the light, which is good, because the one thing that I've noticed in all these big YouTubers and by big I mean over a million subs per YouTube channel that are talking about this topic. Almost all of them don't know Dick about business, right? Like they figured out how to get an audience. That's their skill. That's what they know how to do now is get an audience.
They some of them might even know how to maintain an audience, but what they all aren't good at, Tim included, is business. Now Tim is learning business because he wants to be the CEO and the face of the company. He doesn't have a professional CEO working for him. Ben does have a professional CEO and that's Jeremy.
And you know, Tim is at least intelligent enough to recognize and admit that there's a ton of stuff that Jeremy knows how to do in business, that Tim's going to make mistakes before he learns. But a lot of these people just don't see that. They don't understand. They're like, you know, they're big dogs in terms of conservative political media, but they they have tiny companies, right? Like Tim Poole right now. His company makes 10 million a year.
And that kind of came out. And that's the beauty of this. We saw the contract, we saw the offer, and then everybody else starts talking about what they're making. So now we're finding out all kinds of things that no one's ever shared, including like everyone's always guess, well, how much is Tim making? Is he making 25 million a year? Is he making 5 million a year? Well, now he's basically said he's making just under 10 million. Right.
Which is always been the beauty of the value for value model on no agenda, which is anything that was over a $50 donation was disclosed right there on the show. Yeah. So people started doing mouth back about ten years ago, 12 years ago, and I'm sure you remember this and then started saying, Well, this is bullshit. We just realized that all these $50 donations are adding up to Adam, you know, getting a shit ton of money, right? You got too much money now.
And he's begging for money, and it's like people started getting pissed off. Or at least a subsection of them, right?
I don't know how many, but I remember this, and I remember Adam being very unhappy about it when I was talking to him that you got this whole group that were fans supposedly, right, that once they did the math into how much money is coming in, which is not that hard to do if you're listening publicly, they all got they completely turn and get super pissed off because they they were like, well, this is like a rich dude begging for money. And this is this is bullshit. As they were seeing him.
I think this is something that a lot of people do, especially if you're good at your job, is they see you as their buddy, as their neighbor, as the guy that's in the same exact situation as you. No entertainer is in that situation. Nobody. And the. People you're listening to right now are way less fortunate than you that. Oh, yeah, you know, I'm super poor. Yeah, I haven't worked for ages. You know, it's like people don't realize how how little actual talent it takes to record a podcast.
Maybe they do. Realize on the other side of that that there is time and effort put into shows like No Agenda. This show we're very clear, this is you and I like if we were going to just call each other on the phone every Friday morning and talk for a couple hours, that's what this would be. Well, and then sometimes we do that because you know, you have a hard day, but then we end up just talking on the phone. Don't records show. And that's usually the best content ever. But you.
Know no agenda they actually do research. They gather clips from a variety of places. So you have to clip clips. You have to know there's there is show. Work that absolutely there's work to be done. Although to be fair, a good chunk of that happens with submissions. So I think in the early days they had to do a lot more actual looking for. Like Adam listened to, you know, 5 hours of C-SPAN every single day to get the clip through the show.
Now, I think it's more like you get you a whole bunch, however many clips. And then he has to listen through the clips that were sent in to see which one is right. What do you mean, usable? Like Neil Jones, the clip Custodians tend to get a lot of good stuff. Though. All that stuff helps, but it doesn't completely remove the time. It's not like Adam worked for 6 hours a week. No, he works way more than that. Yeah, and. He's the hardest working podcaster around.
And this is this is part of the problem with trying to schedule time to go out and spend the day together or something. It's like, well, it's between shows and he's got to have time to do the work. He literally, if you look at all the shows he does and the fact that for a good chunk of those, not all of them, but a good chunk of them, he's also the producer. And he's the one recording it and he's the one. That's why I mean, yes, there are literally what I mean, so that it's a fulltime job.
I mean, he does work 40 hours a week now. He's can be a little bit more flexible in those hours. Aren't necessarily happening 9 to 5. But this is not like a part time hobby thing. No. So I anyway, so. What is the amount I'm curious with the average person, what is the amount that all of a sudden the show you're listening to you go from, hey, I really like the production. I want to donate. What is the amount where you like? Well, fuck, those guys are making way too much.
I'm not giving them money. I think it's about double that person's salary. So it's different for everybody, but I think it's right around double. So if you're let's say you're making 100 grand, you're making 100 grand, you're know, reasonably comfortable in today's environment, or you can't afford to buy eggs because eggs are like five bucks an egg. Now. I know, but it's sad. It's like eight bucks for two dozen here. It's so ridiculous. Eggs were for the majority of my life.
Eggs were under $0.25. A dozen. Cheap. Good way to get protein. Them. In a variety of different exciting ways. Absolutely make many of them true with with your homemade vinegar made from John's book. And the weight down that. What I didn't you get a copy of it an autographed copy of. That was I suppose tough to get on that list. The vinegar. List. The vinegar book list. But yeah, it's I think it's probably right around two acts.
And then you're you got somebody that, you know, you're supporting on YouTube or podcast or something else and you like what they're doing.
And then when you realize that like they're getting 200 grand sitting around playing video games on Twitch and then you're getting 100 grand working 40 hours a week in an office and watching them for a few hours a day, you're like, well, but they're already have a much easier life than you because they're doing something you enjoy doing because you're watching them, right? So Yeah, I'm going to just cancel that. The nation doing so. I think it's a it's a it's an interesting question.
I'm I'm guessing it's about 2xi think most people are fine with somebody making a little bit more than them. But I think a lot of people would be prone to now. Okay, there is a subset of people, not a majority by any stretch, that enjoy what's referred to as fandom, financial domination. And and this includes everybody from guys that spend half or more of their salary. And the only fans to Democrats who spend all of our money on Ukraine.
One of the funniest cartoons that I saw and I reposted I know that on Social recently was a character standing holding up a Ukrainian flag in an across from him where characters standing with like the the gay flag the you know the the rainbow flag, the trans flag. And and then there's one other flag. I can't remember what it was. And then they asked him, you know, they're like, oh, I'm trans and and this one's like, I'm I'm gay.
And and what are you and, and the Ukrainian holding flag there says, Oh, I'm from them. I'm doing the same thing as mistresses due to their clients to the US, which is making the US spend this money for no apparent reason other than I guess attraction. I don't. Did you want that money? Well, yeah, you want that money. But the way that it works is their ideal pairing is somebody that knows how to act dominant, to get money from somebody who enjoys being dominated.
And that's the situation we find ourselves with in the States, which most people would think would be the dominant one, but they would be wrong. And it's the same thing for the actual not television mistresses out there, like the majority of the of the men that want to be dominated are making very good money over 200 grand a year typically. And they are in positions where they are managing, you know, tens or hundreds of people or their company owners, you know, and small businesses or whatever.
It's it's rare that you have an average Joe with a normal job. They can have a grand a year that is looking to find a dominatrix. It's more like that. One to pay for one's. Well, that could be a part of it. But again, that's the kind of the whole point of like unlike women that are masochists that are looking for male masters, the men looking for female mistresses typically are going to be providing those with lots, lots of their money.
The the women looking to get dominated are not going to be providing their salaries right to their masters. That's not a I mean, there might be some percentage of them that do, but I highly doubt it. It's not a typical scenario that domination from females. I mean, males is very often or at least includes as a part of that domination and financial domination, which is your money is now my money.
And I will dole out to you the money that I allow you to spend, whereas the rest of that money, I'm in charge of the thing. So it's a it's a different type of experience. And that makes sense because historically, men were the ones providing the money and women are the ones providing the sex. But it is an interesting thing going back to like the podcasting, which is do I want to support the show? Because I think they're too popular.
And you look at somebody like Taylor Swift, it's like, well, people just keep putting money into the merchandise and buying the music. Yeah, You're like, well, you know, she's a multimillionaire, closing in probably on a billionaire when it comes down to it. Mhm. So it's like why if you enjoy the show you know, it comes down to I guess maybe knowing that if I stop paying they're still going to be making enough money to do the show and I'll still get the show but.
Well I think the value of her value little saying is a good, it's, it's very accurate because the difference between and because remember animals always say you know don't ever call it tips or don't the a tip jar because tips is something that you do because it's customer free to some extent and because you you know the without the tips the person's making less than minimum wage. Which podcasters literally are made after zero. Yeah, most podcasters are, but not all podcasters.
And certainly the No Agenda podcast is not making minimum wage. And so if you just say, well, tip us about I think a lot more people will be of the mindset that it's like, well, I know your ear, you know, all the other tables tipped you very well, so I don't need to tip you or I'm not going to give you a whole lot because you don't look like you really need the money, right? But when you say value for value, you're saying is it's more like shareware.
You remember shareware software back from the day. Yeah. You can still lose it. I'm sure it does. And some aspect use it as much as you want Every now and then. It reminds you that there's real like people writing the software that could use some money to keep writing the software. Yeah, and it occasionally will prompt you for a donation, but that's about it. And then if it's something you genuinely use, you should start getting a little guilty about using it for free.
You probably should send them some money. See, But they know too well. There's a lot of people that are doing the same kind of shows on YouTube who just get paid by advertising so I don't have to pay it all. I'll just go watch them. Exactly. Exactly. Or be like the guy that did the math like me and say 12 bucks a month for YouTube and no ads all and I get that saves me about 20% of time. Yes.
Because I'm not watching ads and that's way cheaper it would be if I was actually, you know, subscribed to each of these shows directly. So paying for YouTube actually makes a lot of sense. Oh, I heard they're raising their prices. I don't know. I did some digging. Those bastards guy I talked to said they're going to raise their prices. About what? It'll be a question of whether they grandfather you in that the 12 bucks or whatever it is. Yeah. I'll be Let's see I. Did pay them upfront.
But it made for a year of advertising free experience. Yeah. Even if you watch. Just a few YouTube videos like me, it's worth the 12 probably. Yeah. I don't know if it would be worth 20 bucks, although the question probably make more money off of me. If they could show me ads and I would say no because I would stop watching most. Well, maybe.
And as other people have pointed out in the troll room before, you can go to GitHub or wherever it is for the various YouTube downloaders and that just download the video and watch. They want to work instead of watch that. Yes, by all means, install software that makes your work. You could automate that to where it's grab the link and just grab it. You know. It's one, but that's how there's. Yeah, it's still work. I have that installed.
As for I download videos occasionally, it's still fucking work. You have an interesting view on what is work and what is not what extra you know about working. With is doing nothing. That's called not work. When you have to do something, then you better be getting paid for it. You see why I have a problem working with talent like Gina? Like you want me to click the mouse? Are you serious? You want me to click the goddamn. Mouse. For me? I for this?
No. I need to see why both of us don't have jobs, right? Yes, we would. We would. We always. The coming. In, huh? What kind of a work ethic would you say you have Mr. Never to live? I don't like to work. It's. But, I mean, I'm honest. So I guess you like to apply. In the office space. I'm totally like the guy in office space. Just not the guy you're thinking of, right? Well, you think you're Lumbergh. You're the boss, right? No, no, no, not at all. No, you're not. I'm a Bob. A Bob? Who was Bob?
The two? Bob's the two. Bob's. Oh, they came in to do the interview. Yeah. Literally what I've done for like 30 years. Do you ever scam and people thinking that you know what you're doing for 30 years, You. Know what I'm doing? Gee, this Milton says Feiffer is the best. Director, which, by the way, is a great director. And that guy lost a lot of weight. He really now he was great in Newsradio. Well, he's he's lost. He he looks like he's about £170. Nice. Yeah. He's helping. Him. Yeah, but.
Since you brought up the the pride thing, what do you think of the Russian Ivan Provorov of the Philadelphia fliers not wanting to dare go out and skate during the gay pride thing. You see this story? I did not see this story for in. Yeah, well, the Philadelphia fliers had a gay pride night, and as part of that, they wore special jerseys. Why would they have a gay pride day? I don't know. There's a lot of gay people on their team. I don't think so, because They want to be inclusive.
This is all these teams do it. I think everybody in Major League Baseball, this I, I think believe was up to last year. I don't know if they ever did one the only team in Major League Baseball to not have done any kind of gay pride night was the Texas Rangers and God bless them. Because you the only thing in Texas is queers and Stewarts. Right. So you would think the Steelers must be showing up then for the ballgames. But it's. Like, I don't know why you want to bring this in to and how many.
Gay people will play hockey. I don't know how many gay people do, and that's not really the point. It's like when you start having special nights for any one little group that you have to have, you should have straight fucking night then do that. You're just stupid. It's just stupid. Yes, it's pandering. It is pandering. And I'd love to see in the contract for these athletes where it says you must participate in all special interests, uniform events or we're going to dock you.
Well, they backed him for not doing the team is okay, but of course, it was the rest of the universe. People on Twitter coming out with some very hateful comments. But being a Russian Orthodox religion person, he said that he would just rather not wear that jersey and it was only worn for the free skate warm ups. I guess they had special jerseys and the sticks were wrapped with like rainbow tape or something. And he was like. My that's just stupid.
Yeah, I would agree. But he's like, I. Have no problem with somebody who is gay nothing to wrap their stick with. Rainbow tape who gives a shit. I don't care. Yes, it's to make the whole team force. Other people to do shit like that that's just stupid. Yeah. Well, because again, the whole thing about being whatever you want to be is freedom of expression. And you're like, Well, we want to be free to express that we're gay, but. So we're going to force you all to be gay.
Yes, we were going to force you to support us. I mean, that is the ultimate sort of end game here. Yes. Oh, it totally is. Is that if you aren't having gay sex, well, you're clearly homophobic. Homophobic? Exactly. Well, if you are not actively participating, you are a hater.
Yeah, it's it's the whole thing with the the trans women saying, oh that the the anti trans, you know, homophobic people out there, the men out there aren't willing to me just because I'm not, you know, because I'm a trans woman. Right. And it's like yeah they're not willing to suck cock. Yeah that's, that's probably true. Surprise. Shocker they're not gay. You want to you want you want to date guys when you're dressed as a woman, maybe go to a gay bar. But this is the hilarity of this stuff.
Which you guys don't really want to have. Somebody is dressed as a woman. The people that have spent the most time fighting for their ability to live their life the way they want to, then quickly come down on anybody who doesn't support them. It's like they're not see the hypocrisy. They're They do that. And it's like the guy wasn't trying to stop gay pride night. He didn't make comments saying he thought gay pride night was bad or he didn't make any statements that he didn't like gay folk.
He just said, my religious beliefs prevent me from taking part in this particular event. And of course, you know. Anyway, religion aside he shouldn't have to know. But especially with religion, there is a war on religion. And of course the assholes on YouTube, the usual liberal types. I don't hide behind religion like fuck you. People have different beliefs than you and it's not hiding behind some. Of some to some extent with that sentiment. This is why I said it is.
It doesn't like he shouldn't have anything. He just does. It shouldn't have to do it. It's his view. Because of that, he shouldn't have to give a reason why. He shouldn't have to give a reason. Exactly. That's the point. You know, it shouldn't be like, well, because of my religion. But otherwise they're just going to be like, you're a hobo. I would. I would love to have gay sex other than the fact that my religion forbids. It. Right. So I would love to be a part of what you've got going on.
Yeah. But no, now as as often happens in cases like this, and I have no idea, I didn't look up the stats of Mr. Ivan Provorov and how good of a player he is or not with the Philadelphia fliers. But immediately after this story broke, the NHL website, the fliers website, everywhere you could buy jerseys, jerseys, sold out. Yeah, the number nines. Yeah. So there's a lot of people all of a sudden who are buying Ivan Provorov jerseys. Who's never heard of them. Yeah, yeah.
Because they're like, I support Guy for standing up and saying I'm not going to be one of the sheeple who just goes, okay, I have to be in a gay pride event. Mm hmm. If it's like, stop forcing people again. It's the hypocrisy of the. It is. It's, it's that whole, like, force nature of it and the shaming of people who don't want to participate in what is a very small minority activity.
Yes. The memes went immediately to the Seinfeld episode where Kramer would not wear the ribbon for the AIDS walk. That's exactly what's wrong with that. You know, that's exactly it. When Kramer got his ass kicked by doing an AIDS walk because wouldn't wear the ribbon. So not going out and skating was paramount, too. I guess I won't wear your ribbon, but it's people are just such small minded. Do I have one co-host that doesn't use the that voice? Which voice? The one that you just did?
I did a voice. Yeah. What was it? I don't even remember now. I did a very angry voice. I very bad. Was that like CSB mixed with something? Uh huh, yeah. Like both you guys in? That's it. Then why are you still doing Russian apologist website. Is bad. Mm. I know, but that's why I do it. I like to open myself up to different ideas. Uh huh. Find out new things.
How long do you think it's going to be until the the the people that have been drinking the Kool-Aid here for a long time finally give up the ghost and realize that I was right. When more data comes out. But people know, like, how many years after the end of the war is it going to be before people realize I was right? Well, it's hard to say because confirmation bias leads a lot of people to put their head in the sand and will never admit.
I mean, there's still people who won't admit that there are problems with the vaccines. And I think that's very clear. But yeah, yeah, that's beyond, uh, I think beyond science. It's science, right Now, there's a report saying that there are problems. I mean, to be fair, then there are other people who don't count. The virus is killing anybody, which I also don't think is true. So there is on both sides there. Well, that's. Actually a technically correct statement.
Scientifically, the the virus does not kill anyone. True. It is what happens generally pneumonia. Right. Once you get the two the virus into your system. Yes. So that again but that's not what they're thinking when when they make the comment So there's blindspots big time. On both sides. Very opinionated on immunizations. Who is. Candace Owens? What is she. Totally anti-vax or. Completely completely anti-vax? Like now we talk about just COVID. VAX are all VAX, all that.
She's got two kids that haven't had a single vaccination. Interesting. I don't know about you. So she she was on a lot of people that had a adverse reaction to the HPV vaccine when she was a kid. Which that would make you afraid. Of children. She started doing research and she's found that no vaccines actually work. And I'm just talking about polio and how everybody thinks that vaccines wiped out polio. But now there's a whole bunch of evidence against otherwise the polio.
Is still around. Cover up. Well, first of all, that polio is still around, but more it wasn't polio that was causing the disease symptoms that were referred to as polio. It wasn't a viral problem. It was a problem with industrial chemicals in the United States that became prevalent and then disappeared right about the same time that polio was wiped out.
Well, what you get she she has a ten videos on this are like hours and hours of content that goes through the history of vaccines and how it's all a big scam. Well, the problem with that in general, I have not obviously seen any of the videos. Now. But there is so much where people throw out allegedly things that come from studies or, you know, they say sourcing, but then nobody really ever goes
and double checks that. Yeah. I mean, I could post something on Twitter today that's like well according to a new study by The X-Y-Z this is true and most people will never go even look up if X, Y, Z exists, Right? Yeah. That's why you always got to check if it's a joke website or your website. Yes. Well, and you have to see if somebody is just trying to, you know, get a rise out of people to see. A. A social media experiment like, well, how many people will believe this if it's posted?
Right. Right. And I love trolling people like that. So I always remove well, not always, but often remove that something came from Babylon B if it came from it. Because I love the reactions that people have thinking it's real news anyway. Yeah, that can be true. Like those are the. Ones that are usually more like, Oh, I've always said that's exactly right. Those are the ones that really, you know, that you have to mark them out of. Listen to you. They they would definitely be fun at parties.
Oh, and did you see the Babylon? Well, you probably didn't because you don't follow any of this stuff. But Babylon B came out yesterday with a a great little video that says about Steven Crowder that says, yes, that the schmucks over at Daily Wire have the mistaken delusion that Steven Crowder is actually talking about their offer, where clearly, in fact, he's talking about our offer just totally, you know, putting in spin their own little Babylon B spin on the whole situation.
So this is really like for people that are deep into political alternative media, this is the only story right now. No one's watching or paying attention to anything else. It's all Steven Crowder and what's going to happen, which is when he's on them. Really? What's he gonna say? Yeah, I know, but who really cares about Steven Crowder? I mean, I don't really like what is on the story. You know, What is his audience? Is it Rose? It's a big story is conservative bro's. I just don't buy that it's.
It's basically same guys it's the kids of the guys that listen to Howard Stern. Who are the kids of the guys that listen to us. The guys who listen to us don't have kids. Do they live in basements? Wow. Now, now I understand why they don't support us, because. I'm just telling you That's all right. They should do some audience marketing and segment shots fired. Shots fired. How many of you have actually had sex with women?
And all of a sudden we get a lot of women responding like, well, we have that. Good luck on that. Good luck. If you're an actual woman listening to this show, make a donation right now of at least $10. We'll know you're being honest. If you're a guy pretending to be a woman, make a donation of at least $15. We're being catfished now. And how do people still fall for catfishing. This is another question that I'd like to delve into at some point. If there's a $15 tested bill, fall for it.
That will take your money. I'm not necessarily saying I'm going to fall for it, but you see these kind of stories all the time. And there was a show, I think it was on MTV long after music was gone, about people that had been catfished online. It's like, oh, you know, how how. Does this happens? It happens a good percentage of the time. They think they're being in a relationship with, like Taylor Swift or some kind of celebrity that everybody knows. But it's a secret relationship.
But you've never seen them in person or on a video chat. There's a Australia and New Zealand, I think. Yeah, they're from New Zealand comedy group that I watch on YouTube, which is hilarious. But they do a whole bunch of different videos about video games
and it's called the The Dirt League, I think. But they had a video recently about catfishing and it was basically it was from the guys perspective, you know, he's gets comfortable, gets on his phone, selects his profile, is check on the dating site and then starts to peruse and to chat up somebody else and then turns out that he's actually like he's pretending to be a lesbian chick, which I guess is. Easier for men just pretending to be a lesbian, right? Yeah, it's kind of easier, but it is.
So he's like, Yeah, so are you wearing jeans? And then he's talking to this other chick. And then in the video we see they're avatars of these these girls talking to each other. Basically it's like, Oh, no, you're, you're hot now. You're, you're really hot, you know? And I can't believe you're talking to me, though. That picture looks amazing. And then after about two thirds of the way through the video, you flip over to another dude that is actually catfishing right on side.
Yes. Also is a lesbian. So it's it's two guys that are pretending to be girls talking to who they think are girls, pretending to be girls that are guys. Every time these kinds of stories come up, I just hear the late great Steve Goodman singing his song. There are men who love women, who love men. It's a great tool. There are women who love women every now and then and just. And yet it's a great tune. But we did get a boost to Graham from net dead.
80. 888 says I love unrecognizable with that one dude and the other guy But then he also asked in the troll room, Can I live in Sir Jean's basement and learn the ancient art of air frying? I don't think Jean has a basement in Texas. We we do not. It is super, super rare to find a house with a basement here because most of the land here is. It's not multi-colored stuff. It's clay.
And clay is it's sometimes the solid, sometimes a liquid, which means your typical house actually just sits on a flat piece of concrete and it's floating over the underlying clay right underneath that concrete. And, you know, if you put a basement, then unless you've got like bedrock there or something, but if you put a basement, then your walls are getting started caving in after a few years because the ground will shift underneath you. That is no good. You do that now.
And I grew up with basements, so I like the idea of there being a basement, adds one more level to a house that, you know. It stays nice and cool in the pool. In the summer, which would be great here. You would think so for the. Whole house crumbling on top of you. But you have three houses. Maybe you can put that dad in the tree house like that treehouse. Yes. No, I like that idea I was talking about that with. Maybe it was Larry on Planet Rage.
I saw I think that there's the Home Depot selling these mini houses for like $12,000, which are, you know, they're just glorified sheds. But I'm like, if you have room in the backyard, that would be a great place for. A little studio for podcasting, for music, kind of a nice little man cave separate from the main building. And for that kind of price, you know, it's not that bad for what you get. Yeah. One of the guys in the Texas clans got one those.
See, you can put that in one of those if you want to live in a guy's shed in the Texas clan that has it, that would as close as we can get to a basement for you but that would be awesome. Which by the way did you did you see that? But, you know, you don't really listen to my other show, but the. Well, what you know, you want to me you asked me specifically to listen to the one episode, but I did tell me it was a three and a half hour episode. I was like, that That's a time suck. Now I get it.
So the the 28 year old guy that I interviewed, so he is my my Texas clan brother. And so that was my I did a little little clip of that show where it just talked about me walking my Texas clan brother to the show to interview the Texas clan is what the group of guys from Texas. In the Klu Klux Klan. Called the world in world of warships that we all play video games together. The the group of people is referred to as a clan. Same thing with world of tanks. I don't play world things.
They they use the nomenclature of clans in Iran lines. These are called corporations in World of Warcraft. These are called guilds. So there's a lot of names for groups of people playing video games together. But it just so happens that the world of worships one that's called clans. And so it's always kind of fun to do that little teaser and talk about being in a Texas clan. It would be less funny. I think, if it was like the New Jersey clan, maybe it'd be funny. You're actually I'm think of it.
I think one clan is just like another. You think? You think so? I don't know, man. I think the Texas clans pretty different when you think they're all the way. I think the Texas clan is very different. I will give you that one. There's so many choices for a cold opener. This show, I only tell, right? And that's what I was going to use it as a cold up their opener. Then they figured, well, that involves editing. So I wasn't.
I just decided not to do it. If I remember to hit a mark during the recording, it makes it a lot easier to find. Yeah, well, too bad that clean feeders that marks. And I saw and. I'm like, does jester. While watching the band, Drew says podcast love his reviews, love his podcast and he covers all the social media stuff and YouTube's new terms of service say. Oh yeah, everyone's bitching about him, right. If any. Well, if you swear within the first 8 seconds. Right.
You have that video 100% Demonetized know, which I guess is because it's too close to the ads or somebody doesn't want their ad breaks followed immediately by profane fucking. Would you like to buy a razors? Yes. Then especially if you start out with I hate fucking ads. Yeah. Go your app. So one of the most creative sort of responses that I saw was Linus Tech tips. I don't know if you ever see. I subscribe to his channel. I do. Yeah. So did you see his response? No, but I broke his out.
Probably do the so his is episode starts and for the first 8 minutes you have the old bars and strips of off the air television and the message that says stay tuned to the show will start after eight second rate. So now I think his plan is that every show he does, there'll be bars and stripes for the first 8 seconds that's. Going to annoy people in a whole new. Oh my God, is it going to go? It's going to annoy YouTube because he's got he's one of the larger channels.
He's like 8 million or something. This is why when people see rules, they find a little way to get around them. What's not even getting around them? It's just these rules are stupid. So and it's not like his show has a lot of swearing. No, hey, you know, occasionally swear, but he's basically a lesbian. And I know that. I mean, the advert, it's all advertiser based. They don't. Want. Their ads to close to bad. I mean, I'm just glad it wasn't. If you swear anywhere in the show.
Yeah. Then we're going to demonetized. Well, but now they're using automated voice to speech, right? And if you have a what they referred to as a very nonspecific number, a excessive amount of swearing, your show will not be promoted and it's going to be automatically put on the 18 plus.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Yeah. Like this show luckily is all ages show according to Apple, so it has no swearing whatsoever, which is nice because that's what people want to be able to listen to is no swearing in their podcast. The thing that was most surprising about these changes were that they no longer consider hell and damn to be profanity. I'm like, Wait, at this point, you did well. It's hardly a profanity when it's the existence you're living in.
The hell right? This is, you know, or. Will, are we all been damn to hell at this point? So this is this? Yes, this is the timeline. That's the one. It's like, what are we living in? That damn is a considered a swear word when. Yeah, we all know what else goes is a lot worse. Mean, I guess maybe that's the point that we're just giving making more room for other words. Profanities. I don't know. I think they could have just solved that by saying fuck. Is that a swear word anymore?
Yeah. And be like, Oh, well, shit, I'm just not going to use that word. That makes it less cool if you can say it. I mean, if it's not a swear word, why would you use it exactly. It doesn't mean anything. I don't understand. But I mean, I get it. It's all advertisers obviously complained because I don't see YouTube otherwise trying to make themselves less money.
Because that's the other funny thing and Van Drew pointed that out, is you think YouTube made a policy that was going to democratize a bunch of videos because then they can't run ads so that they're not making any money on them either, right? Yeah, exactly. It all makes sense. The thing is, doesn't that create a loophole, though? You don't want ads in your YouTube stream? Yes. You swear in the first. Place where the first 8 seconds and you know, there's been no ads for the rest of the video.
You will never be monetized. I mean. Well, see, this is the this is the question. So the first 8 seconds should be. Referred to the word monetize to mean two different things. One of them is the literal monetize, which is there will be ads or they won't be ads. The other one is a non-literal monetize, which is there will be ads, but I won't get any of that money.
True. So if you have, I would assume maybe I'm wrong, but I would assume if you have swearing in the first 8 seconds, they won't be they won't run ads. Right. Which is what I want. I want videos with no ads that isn't like for free. Isn't that the ultimate deal? You're getting your video hosted and played? Yes. With no advertising for free? Yes. That's a win win. So you just have the same and then. You ask for value. For value is a part of that video and. You do your version of the George Carlin
bit and the first 8 seconds of every video. Yes. Or you just do the George Carlin bit and then get a copyright strike as well. It's because it's not Valentine's Day anyway. Right? Well, whose I'm sure his estate that all right. No, but I'm just saying that you're not going to make money out of the video from YouTube anyway, so you may as well. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you don't really know your channels. Move the video. Yeah, right. Because you're right. Because of copyright strike.
Generally, not always, but generally just simply means a redirection of the advertising revenue. Well, you're not going to have any advertising revenue, so who gives a shit, right? If you use the wrong song, that's what happens. Is any money that video was going to make now goes to the estate of Prince or whoever. If you play Prince in the background. With eight words or ten words or. I'm just saying if you. Use the words seven dirty words, it was dirt. I mean, seven dirty words.
That's what it was 40 years ago. No more than 5050 fuckin years ago. He did that? Yeah. Still holds up. Damn. So you're old. You just. Start your video with There will be no fucking. Ads like, Oh, I mean, that's just the Yes shit. Piss fuck contact sucker, motherfucker. Intense. It doesn't really have to be there, fucker. It could just be a motherfucker. You can't just a mother. You can't say mother. That's okay. Why is tits a swear word? That's not a swear word. It's a swear. Word.
Maybe then it was. White House where we're. In certain areas. That's one of the worst. And pissed. That's a that's not even a swear word at all. That's literally just, you know. But you could bring. People to people. Oh, yeah, Yeah. What's different? This is also the problem when you're dealing with a worldwide entity is that words are used in different ways. Yeah, within the English language, especially in Australia.
It is definitely not a swear word because everybody use it all the time. See, so and normal. So UK unworldly. This means something totally different. Yeah. Does the word fag. You give me a cigaret. Uh huh. For you this. Yeah. We're definitely. Figuratively. Yes. At least. We are. But tits is I. I don't understand that at all. I mean that's a it's an, an environmental part description. You don't understand tits at all. I mean that's why your.
Left if maybe it's maybe I guess somewhat African-Americans type vernacular. I don't know why I would. Should be. Free speech and all speech is free speech until they put you away. That's true. But why would they want to unjustly go after those poor Australians for saying words that they don't? You know, it's like this is a if you're an Australian YouTuber. Yeah. I mean, again, this is where having said. You can just say Dick. I guess that was a name at the time. Dick You know.
How about Cock Cock. You could say that's not a problem I guess. Rooster Right. So it was a cock. There was a video, I remember somebody. Shot their bitch was another female dog. So there you. Go. There was a video. Somebody made. Maybe it was the South Park guys that that used a lot of those types of like maybe even all of these words. But as part of other words, to get away with that, somebody made this video. I can't remember who like back maybe 20 years ago.
Well, yeah, you can say shit zoo on TV, but you can't see. Exactly. So should sue. And you know, I don't know whatever other other words that include swear words that are sounds that sound like swear words as part of that word makes sense. So it's how you get around them. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's interesting. It's interesting stuff.
I don't I understand concept of certain words being disliked and people feeling offended by them, but I don't understand people wanting to control speech because that's that's a mental retardation in my opinion. Well, once you start making the sounds coming of somebody's mouth illegal, you've gone way too far down the rabbit hole. Mm hmm. When you have a society at this point that is increasingly saying they don't want to prosecute crimes, physical crimes.
Right. Right. But they are increasingly saying we want to go after people who use hate speech. And it's a very scary thing when it's like, okay, you're walking down the street. I mean, come on, man. I'm sure saying sticks and stones won't break my bones, but words will always kill me. I always thought it was sticks and stones. Make sure you're reading the wrong history. Yeah, you're reading the wrong history again. I think so. We have to redo the history.
The fact that you could walk down the street, pick up a brick, hit somebody in the head and not be prosecuted. But you could talk into a microphone and say the wrong syllables and got a nice. Job and yeah, you're fucked. This is my. Job. So, I mean. Then you're really fucked. I know. This is even worse. Yeah. What's worse than being unemployed, being unrelenting? I thought that was. Is that 2 hours, right? Yeah, well, we're right about that. Now, man. We're coming up on that.
I think that was the wrap up I kept waiting for you to hit and we're clear. I mean. Usually we go a little closer to to noon, but. I don't know if we should, because I hear Adam starting his show in 4 minutes. So, you know. Well, that's what it said on the thing now new. For. Podcasting. 2.0 makes the thing What is that? What is that now it comes. Out every day the no agenda millennial post the list of what's going to Beyonce. That shit up nine.
Out of ten. Times when he's listed us It's been the wrong. Time. It's always the wrong time. We're like, No, this time. Oh, damn it. But he's now he has us down at the right time now at 10 a.m. and he has the podcasting. To tell him what Time Zone. Central. I mean. He has a little C, so that means central. All right. And then followed directly after by podcasting 2.0 with Adam and Dave. Who should I interview next to me? Would you like to be in a guest and stage three? I have been before.
It's always been some of your most highly, critically acclaimed episodes. I think. You know, looking back at last year, my highest rated that didn't include a member of the Crazy family was when. You had Adam on the show. Yeah. Yeah. You knew that. You never had Adam on the. Show? I totally had a show that had Adam. I love. You. When you had Adam's voice cleverly. Added, That show was very successful. It had very good ratings.
People are like, I thought Adam and Jean were way better friends than this. Yeah, I know. That is too enlightening. So two word answers. So question to see when Tina's meet up. You're much better than that. Tina is going to be doing a meet up here in Chicago. And so we heard about that. I don't know what it is, though, or where. Pissed off her podcasting career. Know, I was the first show she ever appeared on, but. I don't know when or where this meet up is.
If somebody. Should probably get your wife drive you. There. Yeah, maybe I had somebody that emailed last night that was like, Come meet Tina. We a lot of people want to meet you, but nobody gave me a date or time or where it is. That's great. And I'm like, This would be important to know where it is because. It was last night. A lot of people just, you know, here's Chicago and they think it's like a small place.
It's like if it's on the north side of Chicago, it could take, you know, 2 hours to get there from where I am. So the 2 hours in Austin to get there, right? Yeah. So what I need to do is actually just to have my own meet up in one of those off. I well, I don't know. You probably don't listen to just two good old boys, but apparently we're going to have a meet up for that. Nice while Texas baby, you're all there. So that makes it easier.
I keep saying, you know, this is going to be an interesting Nina, but just the two of us there. But that's all it'll be that it was. My suspicion is it's all because it's going to be in College Station. Oh, well, you have your own heads on sticks. You know. Right. We should totally do that. College Station, which is a town of, I don't know, 50 people. That's more than that. But it's. Yeah, it's a little pullback, a little town in the middle and literally nowhere.
And this is where we're going to have a meet up. It's like, Oh, okay. That should be fun. And I figure, you know, I can have a no agenda meet up. Do you are you going to come down to it? Yeah. Going to be the third person. Yeah. I'll be there if you send me first class. Okay. Tickets, then I'll fly down there. Yes. Just to keep an eye out for those. Well, yeah, but if I. Yeah, I'm Going to watch for those in the mail.
Uh huh. The if I do a no agenda meet up here if I schedule one, I mean it will kind of double as a unrelenting meet up as a random thoughts, meet up as a grumpy old Bens, meet up as a blending rage. Meet up. That's great. Yeah. And that way, when nobody shows up, I can blame. It's a no agenda problem. That's a. Good point. I mean, honestly, they're. They're the ones responsible. Are bringing the crowd in, right? Yeah. Finally got over 2000 followers on Norwegian social. Wow.
How many do you have to pay? Uh, you pay your people. I didn't know that. No, I just thought you would have to, though, to get to that kind of a number. I can't afford to pay for subscribers. You're a poor podcaster. And then straight after the most prolific poster I know on the social. Really? You have more posts than anybody else. Uh huh. Wow. People, you should tip your podcast or send them some. You have a get I'll be wallet. No you don't. So there. I don't know what that is.
See this put your like. Not all my shit, man. I'm just shutting them all down. I can't afford to have all these. I'm just sitting there. Shut it down. Shutting it down. And then we'll be back next week on Friday with more. Just send your cash. Exciting Scintillating. Yeah, just send your cash. We have a P.O. box if you really want to. Send your at. Which though, if you're sending cash, I believe we do have a minimum 10,000 in unmarked bills. Bullshit. We'll take the $10 bill. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fuck them. This is bullshit.
