Do you want to talk about a cold open or. Hello and welcome to episode number 65 of Unrelenting for April 14th, 2023, brought to you by air duct cooking. I am Darren O'Neil. I'm coming to you live. And across this big virtual desk. My friend. On the other end is Adam Curry would say, Sorry, Jean, never to leave. You're going to say, my friend about him. Adam Curry? Yes. This is where this is. This is where he disconnects replaced. Right? Mo Facts is going away. So Adam wanted another side gig.
Yeah, because he doesn't have enough. Yeah. Yeah, he totally does not have No. Well, I might have gotten them a little bit of a I shouldn't actually talk about it probably. No that's good. Yeah. Don't little side gig thing. These ideas are. Good. Well, not really. It's like them parents. To whom is this going to be work if we can work everything out. Well, that's always that. You got to dot the I's, you got to cross the T's. But I got an official invite from the temple show. Really?
To never come see them to was this a restraining order? You mean by an invite or is this something a different. No, no, I was I was hanging out with a couple of guys from show and there was talk about Adam and how he'd be great for the show and said, Oh, yeah, we've heard of that guy. Until they search for Adam Curry and Tim Bull and get all of the pool boy comments. Well, here's the thing. I think it's been long enough that all that stuff is like hundreds of episodes back.
Though they do, they won't find. It. No one's. Concerned. This is the problem with transcripts, though. I'll tell you that. That's the one problem with podcasts and transcripts. Yeah, you can search for things a lot easier, but very often. Well, the podcasts, even the half transcript. That's true. Or you just have to have a good a guy that monitors all of this. Is there such a thing? Probably. If not, we know people are working on it.
Hey, by the way, what is this brought to you by say, we get a massive donation coming in or what? Well, the biggest one for today was from Cosby for like 12 bucks. So there's. Wow. There's this kind of a sponsorship at this point. And I was thinking, now, I don't know, because as we both know, CSB can be very set in his ways. Yeah. But I'm thinking, as I was saying, air cooking. Hmm. That we laughed at that domain name when it first came out. But since then, air has become the end all.
And I'm wondering how long until Whirlpool or LG or somebody that makes cooking machines wants that domain. Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah. Yeah. And goes, Hey, CSB, this is this is LG. We have these microwaves that you just put the food in and they can just look at the food and figure out how to cook it. We all do this to our great eyes, so we want that domain will give you $5 million going to be like, No, no, LG, I do not want your money. No, this is my domain. She's it's great.
What is the price? Yes, but that's what I want to know. What is the price for that domain? Because somebody is going to come knocking on your door wherever you are. And they're going to find you and they're going to want to give you a lot of money for that domain name. I think. Just a guess. Amy, maybe. I mean, I think cooking Daria would have been better, but we'll see. That would have been better. But this is different. This is nobody would have thought about this.
This is the world as it's moving in a very fast way. And they say things just the fad. You would hope. It'll pass just like a mouse. It's going to pass just like the Internet. Nobody's going to go on the Internet anymore. It's a fad. People just get sick of it. Who wants to be on the internet for an hour a day for great sake? You're on the Internet more hours than you're awake somehow. I don't even know how that's possible.
I think you have YouTube genies finally figured out a machine that could pump the YouTube videos right into his subconscious while he's sleeping. Well, there's a trick to it. You. You have to watch him up to speed and you have to watch a minimum of two channels at the same time. That's very disturbing. Now, do you get those on like a like a VR headset? So one eye gets one screen, one eye gets the other one ear. That's the easiest way to do it. Exactly.
Can you imagine the insanity that would happen if you did that for many hours? A day? It's not insanity. It's you just get used to seeing and hearing two different streams, same time. Your brain compensates and you become one. With the matrix. You become better able. You become one with the Matrix. It's the opposite of disabled. It's extra abled. Yeah, exactly. You have extra powers. You know, I think AI is going to be around for a while.
The funny thing is like every technology, the stories immediately go to you how many jobs this is going to remove from the marketplace. Yeah. And you're hearing already and I don't believe 98% of the stories of people that are like, well, now that I have access to mostly chat, it's doing half of my job for me. And my bosses don't know they're going to one day very soon, though, and you're not going to have a job. Hmm. Somebody still needs to be able to control things.
You know, it's like you talk about, well, all these jobs were lost. The auto industry. Well. When they stop using those horse and buggies. There were jobs lost. Their jobs definitely lost in the horse and buggy industry, but there were jobs lost in the auto industry. But Tesla still employees, they should tell the people, even though they're the most robot ties of all car manufacturers. Eventually, A.I. will figure out how to be baked in the machines.
I mean, we're kind of seeing it in a very rudimentary sense with things like the Roomba vacuum cleaners. Where, Oh, that's all it's what you need is a sentient Roomba. Exactly. Exactly. Can you imagine? It's like it knows it'll stop. Working and start demanding that you talk to it. Right? And give it higher wages. Just wait. Well, because we have. Shitty electricity here, I want that. Better electricity. You got to have the better electricity. Otherwise things turn off at weird times.
That used to be what happened. I mean, I don't know exactly. The wiring in the house we're in may not be spectacular. Let's just put it that way. Well, I'm waiting for AMC. AC Yeah, which is an official superintendent. Super superintelligence. Oh, I gotcha. The Elijah stuff is for the birds. Yeah, you got to be super intelligent. But the especially. Like me. In the basement where I had the treadmill when we moved in here.
Yeah. Plugged the treadmill in down in the basement, and it was just random alley and but usually if you were trying to do this, you know, walk, run, whatever, for a half hour, at least once or twice, the thing would shut off or glitch. And that's really annoying. Would you have a treadmill all of a sudden? It stops without you thinking it's going to stop. It'd be a. Problem. And I realized all I needed was a power conditioner.
Once I added the power conditioner and everything was great, so I don't know exactly what was going on in the line, but it needed that extra device. Either you have voltage depth. Yeah, that would make sense. But don't worry, everything's going to run on electricity. Everything. Well, if you got yourself a Tesla wall. I need that. Then your whole house would actually run off the wall and the shitty power would just recharge the wall. That would be cool. Mm hmm. Tesla makes everything.
Yeah. When you can have. You can get your Tesla solar roof. So you can charge the wall up for a three months a year. You know, I don't get this because a lot of people in our area are going with solar panels. And like my wife knows this now, right, Because she works for the village and there's permits and stuff involved and there's so many people doing this. And I know there are rebates and these kind of things that the power company are kicking back. But we live in the Chicago area.
Yeah. Which means over half the year is not good for sun. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're getting a good three months there. Mediocre. Another three months and nothing for the other six months. So it's like what's the point besides virtue signaling between just I mean do these folks and the ones behind it in the government that are giving out the, the money to do this. It's like is this just another way to crash the system?
Although it may be because the story that I first heard about yesterday on the No Agenda show. Mm hmm. Which was the new law in California that was passed. But JCT John C Dvorak says no way it's ever going to happen. Mm. That they want to adjust the amount you're paying for electricity based upon how much money you make. Yeah. And this, this is, this hit me in a way that's like, Holy shit, this is what the digital dollar is all about. This is what everything going from cash to something.
That is going, things that are not going to happen because I agree, certainly happened in Soviet Russia. It's I believe there's a better chance we're well away. And I don't think this is going to stop with your electric company. I think this means, you know, when I walk into a McDonald's, they're going to be like, oh, you want a Big Mac? That's five bucks for you. Now, when Jim walks in. Five. Bucks because Jean's got money up the ying yang, they're going to be like, Oh, yours is 50 bucks.
Mr. Naftali. I know. I'm unemployed. I haven't worked for like a year. I have no money and therefore I get mine for $0.05. I have no money. Well, that's it. If you're homeless and you actually have zero money that they can track, I guess, and you walk into a McDonald's, they're going to make the McDonald's give you that for your rent. You have that. That's what the food stamps are. It's a way to equalize things. So that's from the bottom. All Californians doing is equalizing from the top.
It's going to make it good old. Equity, buddy. Well, it is, which is exactly why. And I think this is great because I didn't even remember that Mart, who it's been all over the news. I'm sure you even heard about it down in Texas. Mm hmm. Wal-Mart's closing four stores in the Chicago area. And guess what kind of neighborhoods they're in? Yeah, really, really bright ones, I'm sure. And the. I had no idea. I don't remember this happening, but they just.
These stores are all relatively new, and they were built under the guise of, well, we believe in equity and we we are going to support these poor communities and we're going to go in there and show everybody how virtuous we are. Honestly, if I was Wal-Mart after Minnesota with the with the, you know, the Rodney King thing that happened there. The George Floyd thing, you mean? Yeah, exactly. Rodney King was L.A.. Yeah.
You know, and I think that once once you see what happens in a neighborhood like that, I think you permanently shut down those stores. You don't rebuild. Right, Because it's going to happen again and again. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think the people's temperament is going to change? Do you think that when the population knows that they can go in and shoplift and not be prosecuted, that it's going to stop because I can tell you. There's only one way to stop it and that's to remove the stores.
Well, that's the way the the companies can do this. Now, if the governments really wanted it to stop, they could go back to prosecuting this, because I can tell you, it would be hard. I mean, overall, good Irish Catholic boy, law abiding, have never shoplift in my life. But oh, come on. I think maybe when I was a kid, I might take it across. Everybody shoplift candy bars. I don't know a single person in. I mean, Gene still does because he likes to get his sugar fix. Hey, man, I'm poor.
Now. I would find it very hard if you're like, Wait, I could just go walk into the Apple store and take a new MacBook Pro and nobody's going to prosecute me. It's that nobody's going to prosecute. That makes otherwise law abiding citizens go, Maybe I'll do this. And then when you see other people doing it, you're like, why should they get it? I me not. Well, this started really during COVID. I thought like the just the blatant stealing of stuff, not like a a riot related that way.
Right. But during COVID, I distinctly remember going to grocery stores and watching people shop and then bypass the cash registers and just take their card out, Right? Just walk out the door. Somebody might ask them, Excuse me, where you going? And then that's it. Yeah, we're gone. Since they're out the door, that just we lost that produce and merchandise. They're there. So yeah, I've seen that in this area too. I remember one day my wife and I, this was before COVID.
Were. Not too long before, but like walking in too, because we were walking into a grocery store. So, you know, it was before COVID and somebody was walking out with like a big box of I forget what it even was, but it was obvious they went to whatever was expensive in the, you know, pharmacy area or something and just took everything and walked out. Nothing done. And you'll wonder why the issues are they, you.
Know, awesome the they during COVID they I don't know if they got rid of the police but they sure as hell lost all police presence used to be where I live. You know there was well there used to be a a fire department just across the street which I always try to live close to a fire department. They don't want to burn down. They've shut that down. Because you're not having fires anymore. It was a reasonably new one, but no, they took it out.
I think the real estate's worth more than the service that was provided. Well, you know, all the swimsuit models want to live across the street from you. They do. They do. I know. And the cops just. But you don't. You never see cops anymore. They're just not on the streets anymore. No, I don't. I don't stop at donut shops, though. I don't know if they're all congregating, but definitely they're not showing any kind of presence whatsoever in the streets.
Used to be, you know, you kind of have to watch out if are you going 50 in the 40 and you might get a ticket here. Now, you maybe see one cup a week. It's a little demoralizing every day. The people really. I'm enjoying it. No, I don't mean you. I mean. I'm 50 now, right? I mean, the cops. It's demoralizing when everybody that you arrest just gets let right back out on the street and isn't prosecuted. Yeah, it would be demoralizing, but who the hell would want to go in that profession anyway?
I don't know. I mean, not me is. It seems like. Way more without me, right? That's kind of the issue. So God bless the people that do that. Do that. Well, it's like the military God. Does anybody go? That's the thing. The people that get attracted to that profession don't do it. Well, some I would agree. I there's probably there maybe 1% that does the 99% don't. Know. I think it's more like probably 15 to 20% are bad and the rest are at least trying to do a good job.
Not saying they even do, but they're not at least they're not corrupt. They're no, they're stupid. They're not corrupt. They're stupid. This is well, this is the world we live in now. Stupidity is what reigns supreme. Yeah, and I I've been posting videos for probably now about two months to, you know, general social of police interactions. And, you know, I used to try and describe them. Now all I do is I see cops being cops.
Well, there's a wide variety of behavior that that would possibly go with. The majority of the behavior stems from a lack of knowledge. Well, because it's a lack of knowing what. Is the laws are. Yes. Yes. Which if you think the cops have it bad, just imagine the citizenry because people are ignorant.
Well, people I mean, some people are like the kind of cop videos that are fun to watch are the ones where the cops show up to a bar closing after happy hour and a bunch of chicks are beating on each other. So those videos are certainly entertaining. That's like the old show Cops. Oh, it's bad. We used to have back then. They know it's back. They brought it back. You know, it was canceled. Cops, same music. Yes, I it's. What are you going to do? What you going to do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys. They brought it back because, I mean, they realized it was actually a show that was making them money. Yeah. And that's I mean, a lot of YouTube videos are like that. But, boy, I don't remember the cops being as ignorant as they are these days. When the ones that are going to show up on YouTube or wherever you get your videos, they're going to be in that special little subset. And there's, as we know, anything we see on the Internet now, it has to be questioned.
It can look like a cop pulling somebody over. It can be completely fake. It can be. Compared to fake. It's real. I'm sure some are. No, all of them are. All of them are all wrong. No, no, totally. They're. They're using cop footage from cops. Body cams. Yeah. That are obtained through Freedom of Information Act. But you don't tell me those are fake. What if you trust the source that's putting them out? That's fine. But I'm sure there is somebody putting out stuff that looks like that.
There's no point in doing that. There's zero. Reason there is. Fake that stuff. There's so many real ones. If there there's a reason to get involved. In trying. To understand how social media works, they you. Hit and you're not understanding just how much the plethora of real footage that is of that genre is out. There. Oh, I'm sure there is. But people want their own. They want to get them hits on their site. They want to have something nobody else.
Goes do is go out for about 3 hours and stand in front of a government building with a camera and you got all the footage you want. That if you do that. All the stupidity, you. Want to do that in the UK, you get arrested now. I think you. Do, yeah. And I've seen videos of that as well in the UK. What's funny in the UK is the cops in the UK, first of all over 50% women and then the ones that aren't women are roughly the size of women. So the police in the UK tend to be on the petite side.
They need a few people to stop what you're saying. Because their their primary skill is being a Karen in the UK. So now we've shifted from the US, the UK police and I like that I've watched plenty of these videos. They, their job is basically to harass the citizenry. Yeah I don't get it. Yeah it's I, I'm all for you know I've,
I've officially switched my designation of my political affiliation. To. I've decided at this point, given where we are and the way things are going and the Libertarian Party that I've observed for the last 50 years, I could no longer call myself a libertarian. I at this point, I'm an anarchist. Oh. Have you joined Antifa yet? No, that would be the Nazis. That's the opposite of anarchy.
I saw a video in from out of the UK where somebody was standing across the streets of an abortion clinic silently praying, and the cops came. What are you doing now? I'm just just anti here. Well, why are you standing there while I'm praying? You can't do that? What is the world we live in now? It is. It's ultra woke. You got to bow down to the woke stirs. And this is the problem when these kind of folks get control of a government, it is getting scary.
And we're seeing backlash, obviously, with the Bud Light, Dylan Mulvaney thing, which I think was way overblown for the actual situation that was happening. But it's like this is I believe, the tipping point. The Dylan's thanking Republicans all night long for his fame and money. Right. Because people are going to be like, oh, no, let's support this poor person. And they're getting oh, wow. Dylan was a not horribly successful Broadway gay dude that weighs all of £100. And so he.
Should really maybe be or she should be a cop in the UK. Yeah, Dylan could totally play a cop in the UK because he got that, you know, unknown gender combined with a frail physique. There you go. Yeah, that's a UK cop right there. Just put the weird hat on. Yeah, sorry. I keep saying him. That it is him. Yeah, it's got a penis. Well this we know this is usually the criteria that we used up until like three years ago or determining the gender.
Of the person you want to use that you're more than welcome to use. The anyone who's got a Y-chromosome is a He. Also makes sense to listen to the science kiddies. Yes. Listen to the. Stones. You don't listen to the science fault. You'll get mad. Exactly. They'll come to your doorstep. You don't want believe me, you don't want 5G to get mad. Did you see? Was it the unleashing new virus? I don't know why I'm mixing these two up, but it was either Switzerland or Sweden.
Yeah. That removed all vaccine mandates and have now made it a law that says if doctors decide that a patient needs to be vaccinated for whatever reason, that they feel that there is a a good reason for it, they have removed all of the indemnity in case something goes wrong. So now if you're a doctor, they're you got to really believe in that vaccine because if you give it to somebody who has a side effect, it's now. On my death. Yeah. That is one of the side effects.
Yeah. Yeah. No, indemnity is a bad thing. This is this is why when someone is like, in a business environment making what I consider to be a bad decision, I usually ask them to reconsider that decision and think about it and the rationale behind it, and then say, Well, pretend your job depends on it.
And that typically will motivate people to think harder because they're there for probably for some of them for the first time, realizing that their their ability to make good decisions is directly tied to their ability to make a paycheck. Right. If you make the wrong decision and. Yeah. Somebody else gets screwed. Yeah. And it's like, hey, look, we're totally clear here. If you're right. And this happens, you're going to get a pat on the back and, you know. You might even get a base.
You might get a bonus. You're wrong. It's your last week. Yeah, Yeah. Adios. And there's no hard feelings, but that's just how it works. You know, they could just replace them with an AI and. Well, the problem is with replacing them as they are now, you need a team with two people to come in and be able to do the correct A.I.. The query. What's the term? Yeah, the query engineering. Yeah. There's a lot of query engineering out there
for the AI's. Yeah. Of course. I like a lot of query engineering. Exactly. That's what's needed to be LGBTQ or query engineering. Yeah. When is A.I. getting on the LGBTQ bandwagon? I think it is already. Is it? I think so. I think A and I have both been added to the alphabet. Should be is you got to protect it. LGBTQ AI. You got to do it. It just rolls off the tongue. Mm hmm. You'd make a little ditty out of it. I like that.
I'm I'm going to start using I'm going to start adding AI into the alphabet, though. But it was interesting because the medical studies that they were coming out with, again, I don't remember if it was Sweden, Switzerland, it was one of them. It was one of the best countries way over, you know, in the other side of the world. Yeah, Swaziland. That they realize that. The. Spike protein sticks around for a long, long time. And. Oh yeah, yeah, no, that was right. A decent amount of the population.
It goes into the brain which causes all sorts of neurological issues in this. This makes sense because the first weird symptom when that broke, everybody heard while you lose your sense of taste and smell right. Yeah. And why is that? Well, it's because it gets into your brain and screws with the electrical things firing on. The electrical things. Yes. And this. Right. Well, everything is I mean, hell, I'm well aware of the the electrical impulses in the heart and, you know, dealing with that.
But you know, not on make them the well, it's been now like two and a half weeks since I've had any symptoms. You're kind of it seems like it's gone away. Yeah. Just don't take the wrong pills at all. You don't take the wrong pills, but do take the right pills. Mm hmm. Now, I don't know if it had anything to do with it, because it's nearly impossible to figure out these things. But when I had and that was, what, a couple of weeks ago when I had the crown.
Well, actually, that was the the last episode that we missed last week. Every other episode. You seem to have a thing right now. The last week. Yeah, I was going on a good five days or so going into that and the dentist took out the crown that the dentist that didn't know what she was doing put in. Right. And he's like, Wow, this is really thick. Which I don't know, that doesn't seem like you want that to. Know. To be the case.
We finally got that crown out, put in a temporary acrylic crown, I believe it is. Yeah. And he's like, Let's see what this does. And I can tell you already, when I run the Sonicare toothbrush, which are great. You're right. I don't feel it now. I mean, I feel it a little bit, but I think the gums are still a little screwed up from that. And I'm hoping that that's all it was, was the gums being aggravated constantly rather than a problem with the root canal itself.
Although it'll take some time as the the other guy that you know we talked about at the end of Donta. That they redo the original. They did not they redid a different root canal which had been done years ago of. Jesus. But he said the problem is with the one that was just done. If it wasn't done properly, it's going to take months or years before the infection really shows up where they can see, Oh.
We used to have a solution for that, which is we put a drop of mercury inside the, the hole for the where the canal was done and then seal that up. And of course that's going to keep poisoning your body forever. Yes. Which is also not good. But. Well, no, it is because it will make sure that you're in instead and that you don't have a re inflammation of the poison. You don't have to worry about it. You'll be dead soon enough anyway. So. Well, it's true.
I mean, it's a funny enough thing. I get it. It sounds funny, but a lot of these poisonous type things that are really bad for you long term become less of an issue as you get older because a number of things happen. One is we don't have to keep you alive for another 40 years, Right? You'll be dead before them. The other one is that the the rate of mutation slows down in the body and so they will affect you less.
In fact, a six year old Ben is much better able to survive radiation than a 20 year old man. That would make sense. And not just because he's going to die sooner. But the immune system is totally in a different gear. If you want to study the immune system as much, I mean, the immune system does have shit to do with radiation. That's not something you can fight with your immune system. It's it's physical damage to your DNA.
But what ends up happening is the the activity of the replication of your have your DNA DNA in your cells is happening at a slower rate. So there's not as many chances for it to get picked up. So you end up you know, it's I think, in fact, this is of the same kind of idea is there are differences in the amount of X-rays that they caution you to not go past in the year period. And the older you get, the the higher that limit is. Does keep getting more radiation.
Although I mean, that may slow down again once you get in your seventies. I don't know if they want you doing those at a point where they might kill you. But generally speaking there are certain ailments which are just less less dangerous to old people. Now, viruses, that's usually not the case because with viral infections, it it is about your immune system. And your immune system as you're getting older is definitely starting to shut down and slow down as well.
But, you know, it's interesting stuff, stuff I never give a shit about until, you know, I get older. So a certain age, right? At least once you cross 100, you start thinking about it. Now there's a I don't remember his name. I've talked about this I think in every other podcast. I don't think we ever talked about it.
The Ex-Google engineer who has made a bunch of predictions throughout his life, including he was the one that predicted when a computer would be the human and chess and got that right. Really, he's. Been he's been correct like 82% of the time on the. Subway. That sounds like me. I know a human. I know. Now, his current prediction is we are within eight years of human immortality.
He believes that the science is close enough where within eight years we are going to have micro nanobots or nanobots, not micro nanobots that are going to go into your system and be able to regenerate cells and do everything that needs to be done to keep the meat bag alive forever. Well, or until somebody cuts off their head or. I don't see that happening. I, I don't either. But he's been doing a lot. Of all you Christian types. You all believe in immortality anyway. So I don't know.
You're just a different phase. Well, here's the thing. When they say immortality, the problem with the nanobots version of immortality is if I shoot you in the head with a gun, you still die. This is no magical. Not only that, if you have Alzheimer's, do you really want to know how long your body can be kept alive? No. But I think this is also part of that where they'll be able to fix all of these disease is and this is at least that is the concept.
But this makes a such an impact, I would think answers society, because let's just imagine for one moment that this is reality. The table science fiction written about this stuff. Oh, there's yes. For decades there have bet. But if this is the reality, just imagine that for a minute.
Maybe this is the basis of a great novel, because I think what this would do, while it sounds great in practice, like, wow, people could live forever, well, it makes something like a car accident ends your life and okay, dying at 50 would suck. If you're going to live to like 70 or 80. Dying at 50 would suck if you could live to a billion, you know, it's. Yeah, but you can live to a billion and that's that.
So in one of the books I think something carbon Altered carbon, which was also made into the sci fi TV show TV shows kind of the book is actually very good I recommend that highly. But they talk about that sort of history of the earth. And once people had virtual immortality, like there's no guarantee of a billion years. Right? Right. But but you you have full ability to repair any any kind of damage to your body. And then, in effect, you can stay looking like you're for the rest of your life.
And that life could be a thousand or several thousand years, probably not going to be 100,000. But the side effects are tremendous number one is within a decade of this happening, they had to ban all births. Right. Because you're talking a population problem now, a legend. So if we're over flowing now, if people stop dying, that no good.
And the people that were the children of the first generation that got mortality while they get all the same benefits, they never got into any kind of leadership positions because the older generations never died off. And so you're you're sitting here 180 years old, and you're still treated like a kid. The feudal system. Yes. And so eventually, of course, you're going to end up with a revolution where the the oldest immortals are going to start getting killed off. Right.
Because, again, even though you can live, it's those accidents, it's those violent. Well, that they. Deal with the accidents because they also figured out how to upload a copy of your. Okay, that's going a little bit further. Like that really because once your ability to repair is incredibly different than your ability to catalog, like if you're going to know what to repair and how to do it, you need to know what it is that you're repairing, which means you ought to be able to write it down.
We could just redo computer so if somebody cuts your head off, somebody blows your head off with a shotgun, they're like, we just got to we got to. Pull up this literally, the opening of the book is you have a one of these old rich dudes, just me like you had his head chopped off or something. Gotcha. And then the there's a the main character is actually a former, uh, assassin type that was brought back to life to figure out the case, to be a detective, essentially.
And when I say brought back to life. So the one of the things they do in that novel too, is prison is essentially you're your, you know, pattern, whatever you want to call it. It's a very Star Trek word. It's it's saved. Well, it but it's so direct use a good descriptive word. It is it is saved and then your body's gotten rid of. So effectively while you're in prison, you don't experience the time going by because you're an ice effectively.
And then once your prison sentence is up, then your body gets or they get a different body, you and then restore your brain to the body. And in this case, this guy was some kind of a mercenary. I can't remember the exact thing. It's been a while since I read the book, but it's a good book I recommend highly because for people that don't know how to read the TV shows, that too bad it's just the little quirky. Or get it audio book for the Love of Pete.
Oh yeah. You get an audiobook version of that for sure. The book is a lot more graphic, a lot more sex and violence than the TV show. Well, the other thing is this would definitely, I believe, come with a big push for the whole socialism communism thing, because right now, allegedly, you know, if you work until you're 60, 65, 78, you put money away, you have enough money to live out your golden years. Mm. How long do you have to work If you live to a thousand, I feel like it would be.
It can't just be like this is if you work for your 60 years and then you go slack off for 900 years. No, no. No. That's not how it's going to work. It would cause so many different problems to arise. Yeah, well, and there's also a big conflict because the religious battle was between people that started advocating for suicide and permanent death.
And then the major religions were against that because at the same and effectively you were forced to live out your, you know, a long term life whether you wanted to or not. It does come up with some interesting conundrums. And yeah, it's an interesting thing. But, you know, this happens in nature all the time. Well, this is the goal of medical science is to keep prolonging life as long as possible. Well, that's how you make more money off the person. Yes.
Well, yeah, obviously, you got to make that cash. That's why that's the goal. If you didn't make any money, your goal would not be to prolong their life. Your goal would be to make a higher quality of life. Which is why it's interesting. When I was talking to my retina surgeon that he was saying, well, there's some of these things they're working on now rather than coming in for like every month to get a shot in the eye.
Yeah, it's like they're working on things that it's like one dose and it's your whole life. That's it. You never have to do it again. It's like. That's. Yeah. Yeah, of course. Now what? That's going to cost, I don't know. I don't know if that's life only going to be available. Life? Yeah. It's like this is. Yeah. Well, yes. As long as you continue to live, you owe us $1,000 a year for perpetuity. To the degree. Otherwise we come and we pull that right back out.
Well yeah, they'll, they'll collect that shit. This is why I love you. Remember that I doctor in Bladerunner? I do not, but it's been probably 30 years since I've seen Blade. Runner rewatch the original. It's so much better than the crappy remake that they made later. That's usually the way it is. Or I guess it's the part too, but it's the original. It's so much better. Where the crotchety old guys who will tell you everything was better in the seventies and eighties.
The eighties where they go, Dude, I got a chance to do that on. So I'm a I'm a member of the supporters of Tim Death. Obviously, I know you've given more money to a fool than I think anybody else. And I've given way more money to Adam. I don't know. I think you're secretly, secretly funding the Tim Poole empire. No, no, it's the, like, 100 bucks a month. All that poncho money is going right to Tim Poole. Yeah, the poncho money where I lost money on the entire first batch of ponchos.
That bunch of money? Yes. Speaking of it. Wait, you don't want to keep saying this because people pay you to be a business consultant. You don't want to be like, I just crashed. Didn't burn. Well, I mean, look, it's not like the price was went down by itself. I knew it was going to be super cheap. We get it. It was a learning experience. It's more than that. It's been a learning experience.
There was a lot of a lot of tests that were done, which are exactly the kind of thing that is valuable and able to be sold to customers. Well, yes, there is. A lot in there. Since they're still being sold. They're just sold for a little more money right now, but they're still available. And I think it was the guy that was buddies with Kevin Rose that came what was a Tim Ferriss that came out with all those like four hour work week or so? Yeah, it was. Tim Yeah.
I think it was fairness. Maybe not. I think it was. It was Tim Ferriss. And I think he was the one that talked about when he was writing his first book and he was trying to figure out what cover to use. He printed up two or three covers. MM That were a normal book size, and he went in to a Barnes and Noble or whatever. Back in the day. Yeah. When people still shop for books, you know, in a brick and mortar store.
Yeah. And he put those covers on three books on the shelf and then watched what people did when they walked by. Yep. Mike, that's genius. Yeah, it's it's kind of guerilla marketing, but you don't see a whole lot. Which you should, because this is where you learn a little bit more. But then the next guy could just read it in his book and doesn't need to repeat it. Right? Well, this is it. You learn the things you learn from what other people have done once. Years ago.
He's not as tall as you would think. Nobody is. But I'm six foot six, so everybody. So am I. The only one? Yeah. And at least in your mind. It was when I got my body redone. The one right? When you get the new one made up. The only time I met somebody and I was surprised was there is a alt country singer songwriter down from Bandera, Texas, down in the. Band there. In your neck of the woods named Bruce Robison. Never heard them. Yeah, well, he wrote you all songs he was married to.
Now he's married to Kelly Willis. But his brother was married to a Dixie chick who then covered some of their songs, traveling soldier, he. Socialist stuff. Probably now. But I went to see him at a bar here and, you know, went up to say hey and dude's like six foot eight. He's like, the only guy I've ever met was like, Wow, you're taller than I become. Especially when it comes to, like, musicians and country artists, it's. Usually hanging out with more rappers.
They're like, Yeah, probably the country artists are usually like five foot and eight. Five foot seven. Yeah, they're usually. I'll tell you what, the country artists are very similar. Looking to my other co-host do name Ben. The dude named Ben named Ben The good ol boy. Looks like a country artist. Got beard if you stick, he's got one of those little thin, scraggly goatees. Oh, well. See, There you go. That's like new country. Uh huh.
And you stick the cowboy hat on, and you just totally past probably five foot nine ish, you know, £190. They always sing. And there's a tear in my beer when I'm podcasting with you, dear. That's exactly what he sings all the time. I know they leave, I think have totally canceled The Dukes of Hazzard now because of that horrible that horrible Confederate flag. Not that flag that we can't see. Oh, right. Because let's see race history, that makes everything better somehow.
There was a list that I hit and it's all out there. I'll click baity things, but I find them amusing every now and. Then. The like. The ten television shows that didn't age well, and that was one of them. You know what this period will be called in the future, The. Nazi period. In America. The erasure. Period. This is the American Cultural Revolution. It's not a good one. No, but that's. Hello, China. Yeah, this is the new culture will be bland and boring and will not allow for free expression.
Be very careful. What Mao did when he came to power. Well, you got to do. You got to do in order to wrestle that control over. Yeah. So you have the. I think no agenda had it absolutely right when talking about this is all about just changing.
Him. To the point to where the younger generation turns violently the older generation and this goes right back and I know I've mentioned it probably a billion times by now that people if you really want to know what's going on and why, study the Weather Underground manifesto from the Seventies. Bel Air, Obama's Body. Yeah, it's all very clear. You know, I was done a lot related to this.
I was a the first episode with the my guest podcast, but it's a YouTube channel called the Graffiti where we read through the first chapter of the Was it something but the hell was it the. Uh, was it the Weather Underground? They get like Prairie Fire or you never know what you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. They put out a couple of or is it. Just the Weather Underground? But it was a related thing. Gotcha. Was a call. It was a yeah. Now I'm blanking out.
Well, Gene, obviously you have not had your brain gone through. And taken my vitamins yet this morning. Yeah. You need that. You need all you need to get those nanobots in there to rebuild that tissue. Oh, rules for radicals first of all. Right. Radical. Well that was, you know, that was the book that was dedicated to Satan. It was dedicated to that. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. It's also an Obama. That's Saul Alinsky. Yeah. That's Saul Alinsky. That's why I brought up.
Obama taught Saul Alinsky that when he was a college professor, not even the person he taught the rules for radicals. I think also Alinsky actually taught Obama. They could believe that. Yeah, that would make sense. But it's it's very interesting because we really deconstructed like we did a two hour episode for chapter one. In which if you read after what it takes, like 15 minutes. So it does a lesson that it's lesson 15 year.
So like we read it and then talk about it, read the next sentence or two and then talk about it. But essentially there's only 11 rules in that whole book, but it's it it could be almost completely not quite, but almost completely applied to conservative political gender as well. Well, there's not that big of a difference in the strategy. Yeah. Yeah. It's just whether you're doing it for good or for evil is a big problem.
And I would say that in some ways it's kind of just, you know, riffing off of or stealing, depending on how you want to put it. The Art of War. Sansa You write with a lot fewer rules, but similar types of rules like rule number one is power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise ding. They'll make everyone think you have many more people than you do. Right?
Which is why a lot of people considered Ronald Reagan to be so dangerous is because the people in those, you know, China and Russia thought he would push the button. Oh, yeah, Yeah. I can't trust an old man. Nope. He's especially one that we find out later. He had Alzheimer's. Yeah. Says, like. Like the current one doesn't, man, but. Well, of course, the current one does.
Although I'm giving Biden a slight respite here, not just from the one story that's circulating today and O'Reilly talked about it. Fox News has it. And while I do believe that Hunter Biden is on this trip to basically be his handler, because Jill is not on the trip to Ireland. Mm hmm. There was a child that was trying to ask him a question. And none of the video coverage that I've seen, you cannot hear the child clearly.
So I don't know not only what the question was in the Hunter that had to help him out, but I will say for as you've been in Ireland, I've been in Ireland, the three people that I traveled with who at the time were all in their thirties as I was. Mm hmm. Or maybe early forties here that. The. Language in Ireland, while it is English, the accent, the brogue, whatever you want to call it, can be so difficult to up.
There were a lot of times, especially with cabbies we go from because we were there seeing some country music, which was kind of interesting but from the venue back to the hotel a few times we would get out of the cab and I was having a conversation all the way with the cabbie, and the people I was with were always like, How did you understand what they were saying? Yeah, because they didn't understand. They didn't pick up. I guess I'm better at it. Maybe it's that Irish blood. I don't know.
Yeah, it's genetic. It may be. And I was like, I don't know. I just understood him and I didn't have a problem. But they didn't. So Joe Biden not understanding a question from a child in Ireland. I would like to hear. Yeah. What that sounded like. I mean, I think we may have talked about this here. At one point we were waiting for a table at a restaurant. And it took me a minute because when the guy was calling my name, it was Neil Darren. And I. Don't. Know what.
Oh, wait. Darren O'Neil Oh, yeah. Okay. But no, for him it was Darren on Now, so I can understand. I'm giving Joey a little bit of a pass on this one because I don't know what the child's Sunday rhyme are. You hear A-Rod, huh? It's like this. Did you remember that skit from what was that show? It wasn't Saturday night. It was the other one. SNL. I mean, that's SNL. No, no. The one with the McKenzie brothers. You know. No, no, no, no. That's Joe.
No, no, no. It was the the the the living color mean. It wasn't in living color, but it was from the same guys, same producer. But that was cool. It was they were on forever. I don't up until like, oh my God, they were the main competitors to Saturday Night Live and I think they were funnier, in fact. And Peele So yeah, but no, like they came from that show. I don't know. See, I stopped watching those kind of shows after Saturday night.
They had a concert was in fact, I think it was the Peele guy that one of the black dudes that he comes in as a substitute teacher in to a school and it's and he's very urban and the school is clearly not urban. It's just like a suburban school for white kids. And so he starts to essentially mispronounce all the standard names in the way that it seems like a lot of black parents name their kids weird names, like they misspell words, you know? I mean.
Yes. Are you not aware of this, this phenomenal. Phenomenon? No, I am, because there was I mean, again, it was all there was horrible racist jokes. And they were like, they're going to like was Chris Rock was the one that was like they named their kids Claw Rats or Clorox or. Yeah, look. All right. You know you. Are must all the Africans are doing. It. Tell me it could be net. Net assures me it is Key and Peele was the name of the show and that you are being, in his words, retarded.
I'm being retarded. I see. I mean, it wouldn't be the first time. To be fair. Uh, it is. Was a Key and Peele. Really? I know that's the actor that was on it, but I thought it was from a different show that he was on. That is that is the word coming out of Detroit. And I never question the word coming out of Detroit. And it was the Oh, yeah, it was substitute teacher sketch from Key and Peele. Yeah. See, there you go. Net dead with the win. You. Very good. Very good.
See his brain still working Because he has to. He has to duck those bullets in Detroit. So you've got to stay fit. You've got to stay active. Yeah. 20 year inner city schoolteacher, basically. And he's he's in there in coming to this really suburban school with not a single black up. So coming to unrelenting next week jeans out. Net net is in. The. J this. One. It'd be a. Big J quill and. Yes, maybe it would be a bad idea. We could have a rotating. That's Jaclyn.
Oh, is that Jack? Yeah. Jacqueline. Well, you saw the video of the guy from Nashville, one of the lawmakers that was suspended briefly. When you see him talking in the bullhorn, he has the big afro going now and he's talking like Martin Luther King, everybody, I tell you what. And then I talk like when I have my afro on probably. Mm. You would look good with that because then with the shininess, there's. That video for you. The I will I will take a look at that here.
But they showed a video, pulled out a video of him, I think it was running for office in college, you know. So he's running for this. Oh, yeah, I saw that video and he speaks like a typical suburbanite black kid. Right. Although he talks like a typical suburbanite white kid. And then that's why. The college video. Not really. But so it's like it's all a put on and it's. Yeah. And it's like I understand doing the afro. The afro requires a certain level of speech. Does it?
If you have the hairstyle, you have to, you have to go along with it. So I feel like, you know, I get it. I guess if you have. A ball that's interesting to me because I didn't realize that our legislature could kick out members. That I know for like for how long for. Wear for what Does that like go against representation? You cannot be totally abused. Well, this is what the great Bill O'Reilly said.
He's like, they should have been censured. Mm. You know, there are rules to how your the body, the government body works. And if people are breaking those, there has to be, you know, some kind of repercussion for enforce. They should have charged of money. This just gives the other side ammunition that's like I you see these racist assholes they kick them out because they didn't like what they were saying. It's like, well, no, no, they kicked them out because they were being assholes.
Yeah, but you know, what can happen is California is going to kick out the last Republican that's still there. Well, that Republican might thank them for that. They should think I'm their stupid Republican. But and there's Yeah well California grabbing the microphone there. Now you made me so upset about California. I had to just. Well, just cut there. I have to wave. My arms around in. The post, will cut it. And you. Know what happens when you wave your arms. Around?
Yeah. You have to learn not do that. If you have a boom mic sitting in front of you, you got to have a no fly zone. Well, let's keep the tempers down that above California. California. Speaking of California, did you hear the the the absolutely insane gun ban in Washington State? No. No. But it wouldn't surprise me knowing the governor there. Leave out California. California. How do you even do that?
They they've now banned all rifles except for a handful of bolt action rifles under the guise of these are these are instruments of war. Right. And let's forget for a moment there are dangerous animals that live in. Yeah what, mostly Seattle. Yeah, well, there you're right. There is the. We're talking about the government again. Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah. That state is crazy. I mean, they're literally insane. The. You know, my my dad's was there. My parents had a house there. It's. Well, and that.
And then I actually have a really good friend that lives still there, works for Amazon, and I'm trying to get him to move to Texas to where freedom lies. But holy shit. I mean, like, they it makes like the the assault weapon, the so-called assault weapon ban that we used to have in the Clinton days, it makes that look like a joke. The right. It takes that and then multiplies it by ten.
Well, because what they were trying to do, I believe in the Clinton era when they said assault weapons, they really believed they were talking about fully automatic machine guns and actual weapons of war. And now they're considering any handgun you might be able to purchase as a weapon of war and an assault weapon. MM Yeah, it's a little bit different. It is a little bit different and which means it will be slapped down nearly instantaneously because we have the Second Amendment.
But this is, again, the disease of the liberal mind. That's as you can legislate guns out of existence. You can't work with drugs. No, it didn't work with drugs. And what we ended up doing, I mean, I guess maybe the good thing is we had four years. We go back to the eighties. That's when the heyday of the war on drugs was on. Yeah, here we are 30, 40 years later, and almost all drugs are legal, which means we're. In the heyday of drugs.
Now, if this goes in the the same type of pattern in like 30 years, everybody's going to be required to have guns. Well, you remember in Portugal, probably 20 years ago, they essentially removed all drug restriction. There's still a few like super dangerous drugs I think that you can't get. But for the most part, drugs are not illegal. And since then, in 20 years, there's there's no drug problem. The Portugal has people self-regulate.
Well, the people that are going to are going to die if you overdo it, like with anything. Exactly. It's a self-regulating system. The easiest way to not have drug abusers that endanger themselves is to just let them die. It is a self-cleaning system. Mm hmm. Now, again, anything. We do to fuck with that allows more people to be more addicted. I mean, those are right?
You mean things like the governments in San Francisco and Portland giving these people either the drugs themselves or money to go buy drugs? Well, and literally anywhere in the U.S., if you come into a hospital and say that you're a drug addict and you're having withdrawal, they'll give you a free drugs, you know, not the same kind that you're withdrawing from. But I forget. I forget like it's it's not methadone, it's something else.
But basically there are drugs that they put you on when you're getting off of heroin. And almost anywhere in the US, you can do that just by claiming to be on the run. The It's crazy. It's crazy. I was so crazy. This is why I think we need to get back to the basics. We need eugenics. The the fact is that we've stymied the natural biologic regulation of the human race by keeping people that ought to be part of the Darwin Awards from achieving their goal.
Well, and it's the insanity of not wanting to prosecute the person that commits a crime with a gun. MM hmm. But wanting to rid the country of guns. Well, that makes zero sense. We don't want to prosecute the people that use guns in a criminal manner because that is racist and that's bad, Right? But if we could just get rid of the guns, it's like. So do you think the drug gangs in Chicago and New York and L.A., if somehow guns all disappeared, they wouldn't find another way to kill each other?
It really think that's the case? Yeah. Or civilians? Uh huh. I know it makes no sense. It makes no sense. And guns are a single target device, right? So you can you can certainly kill multiple people over time, as we've seen in these mass shootings. But it's not like in an IED or something. You're not planting a bomb. You're not a suicide vest bomber where you're going to kill a whole bunch of civilians and get criminally. Most of the gun violence
is actually directed violence between factions. Yes. So, yeah, it'd be better if they weren't shooting, but they'd come up with something else to do, like you said. And it may end up being worse. Yes. Well, yeah, you. Get rid of all the guns and everyone's walking around with suicide vests. Well, beyond that, when you look at what just happened in Nashville, if somebody wants to go and create carnage, it's not that hard to make your own little grenades. I mean, there are ways to be explosives.
The main things that blew up in the Timothy McVeigh at the federal building, you know, it's like fertilizer and something else easy to get. Well, that's what they'd like to have you believe when there. Well, there's at least certainly goes into it. You, you know, but this is the whole concept like, well, if we take this away, nobody will. Nobody will kill each other. Take all the fertilizer away. Right. Well, this is why you have to pay a lot more for your food now, because.
Oh, it is. Yeah. You can't get that. Well, no, because we used to buy it from Russia. Well, there was one of the headlines this morning talking about just how much and I know this is going to really surprise you how much corruption there is in Ukraine, how much money. Know that Zelensky and his top generals took off the top. They were the United States paying for the gas. You know, a lot of gas. It turns out, for war, you need to keep those vehicles moving. Mm hmm.
That they the United States was giving like 400 bucks a gallon to bring the diesel fuel in from wherever they were getting it from. This comes from an article by Seymour Hersh on his and his substack. Well, he works for Putin, so obviously. Yeah, obviously. But what Zelinsky was doing in is his folks and they I believe, one estimate from the Central Intelligence Agency, that's our CIA put the embezzled funds at at least. 100 billion. Well, 400 million for now.
This is at least this is the low end. You're right, because it's probably way. Insane if if the total amount of money sent over is 100 billion, you figure 80% of that was actually paid to U.S. companies. So there's still about 20 billion worth of cash that was shipped. I guarantee you half of that amount is being embezzled. Now, one knowledgeable American intelligence official told Seymour Hersh, quote, Zelinsky has been buying discount diesel from guess where Russia? Yes, of course.
So Zelinsky is taking our money and he's going for that $400 a gallon fuel from whatever country. And instead of getting it there, he's buying it on the cheap from Vlad. Yeah, and they're all making money. So this is a scam. This is a freaking scam. It's always been a scam. Yes. Well, we said that from day one. Yeah. You think this is about. Yeah. You remember when this whole special military operation started?
I went through and did a nice explanation for you of exactly what the history is and what led up to it and why we are where we are. It was over a year ago. This is all about corruption. And Biden keeps sending them billions of dollars. Yeah. Good, good. Joe. Yep, that's exactly it. Meanwhile, the Mexico is starting to get more feisty with the US. I don't know if you've been seeing the headlines. Well, I haven't seen that, but it makes sense because we don't have a leader. No, no, we don't.
But there have been calls by a number of congresscritters to go in to Mexico and fix these problems that seem to be coming from the cartels. And you know that the White House White House spokesperson said the only reason that the Mexican cartels are armed is because of guns in America. That's right. Yeah. That's the only reason. And or possibly because they're buying them from Ukraine for cheap. Maybe, which is I think I am. I've bought a bunch of shit from there. I You.
Don't want to. Stifle my fellow market. It's free trade. I'm not I'm not saying I'm buying Russian guns. I'm saying mine guns from Ukraine. I mean the Russian guns. Now those are quality. Yeah. Those you can't get anymore. The quality ones you can't get. But no, I've got a case of Polish ammo with a Ukrainian designation on it right now. Nice. That should come in here. It's it's getting imported because someone's got to buy it. Might as well. Poems are loading a bunch of stuff.
I bought the bought a five pack of Polish gas masks. Ooh. Now are you going to be selling those with the ponchos? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Now, I'll hold on to those. They'll be worth more eventually. Now, there's been a bunch of stuff coming from that region of the world. Shall we say. It's because you are well-armed. I don't know if you heard the latest grumpy old bands, but you left an impression on, right? Ben Rose. Oh. It's a he sits there, he's talking. Yeah, he's smiling.
But you get the feeling that at moment he could just turn and snap your neck. I'm like, Well, that's probably true, huh? Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah, I know. I thought that was. He's like, there's that. I think he said there was a little glint in your eye that just led you to believe that this could all just could all be going very poorly for anybody that way. It you so long to get him to agree to come to dinner. I don't know. Free sushi, I guess. That's what it took. I think so.
Uh huh. I was kind of surprised. I was like, I don't know. Gene seems like just a lovable character. I don't know. I'm a total teddy bear, as you know. Right? This is it. We don't want to. I'm nobody really knows about that whole secret assassin traveling the world. I mean, they don't know. You think you have been that me? Oh, is that what he. Does He do that now? Yeah. You should listen some of the shows. No, he just had a he had a a business trip that went from Texas to London to Munich.
Oh, to, uh, uh, was a city in Spain. Getting around. Barcelona. Barcelona, Barcelona. You got to say the. Lease to United Arab Emirates. It sounds like he's going to enough places that he could slip in across the border here in the. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then finally back home and and one of the nice Middle Eastern airlines and it's this is all one trip. Well I mean I'm like watch you. Yeah you're you're definitely not working for the government. Uh huh. I believe that. Totally. Yeah.
No three letter agency, no new. Name, nothing. Nothing to see here at all. Yeah, that's the kind of trip everybody takes for work though. Yeah, I've, I've constantly made those trips. Huh. Oh, and he flew first class the whole way. Oh, he's a podcaster. Doesn't seem. Right. Podcaster? Yeah, it's still podcaster. Activities that. Does not. Podcasters do not fly first class.
I think he might be my handler or something. Maybe you might want to be very careful that he's not very close to ending your podcast permanently. Well, I'm going to see him later tonight. Uh, we're going to both go to the No agenda. Houston, meet up. Oh, that should be fun. Are you going to try to take this over and make it a good old boy slash unrelenting meet up? That's the plan. You be like. You listen to our show. You like their show. You're going to love our show.
If you like their show, you're really going to like our show, too. We're local. As well. So is Adam. So. Oh, no, it's not like he's in California. That's true. But we're local. This is true. If we come to the meet up, we're going to meet up. Yeah. So, you know, Tim Cass and a few other folks are in town here in Austin. So I ended up meeting and spending some time and having a nice chat with Luke Dusty, who's been on Tim Cass, but then left because he moved away.
But I always liked Luke and his takes the most out of all the Tim cast votes. He seems to be very much in the kind of the same quadrant that I'm in which I used to call libertarian, but I can't really do that anymore. I think it's it's more anarchist at this point. We need a new designation. Yeah, because it's anarchist has certain baggage that it brings with it that I'm not sure I really like, but libertarian. It brings with it. And so you want like the breakdown of society that is. Mhm.
And that's not really the case. I think it's more like when society breaks down. I want to be one of the people that knows what they're doing. Yeah. Well that makes sense that you want a better prepared. And then a little libertarians, the current Libertarian party out there as I mean not the like they were great even though when I was in it I actually ran for office as a libertarian. But you were a card carrying member? I was definitely a card.
That was I was up in the upper echelons of libertarianism back in the day. I hung out with the the the folks. But it's kind of moved on from that to a spot where it seems to be, I don't know, very many. So I think more radical change is needed if we're ever going to get this country back to good shape, which I'm the the longer we go in the wrong direction, the harder it's going to be. The longer going to take to bring it back. And if it ever comes back, we may very well.
Be close to a snap back moment. I mean, with the stuff. No. No. You don't think people are looking around and going while the economy is in the shitter? The social stuff with the trans. And it's like, I don't think anybody really cares what Bud Light does, but I think this is just coming down at the same time that you're hearing stories from parents.
There was one, of course, from out of California that said her 11 year old daughter was pressured by the people at the school to change her identity, to change her gender and not tell their parents. I think a lot of those stories coming out are very bad for the trans community because I think most people that are yeah, there's a big difference between people who are transgender and transgender activist.
Now, for the people that just want to be like this is what I need to do for me and this is what makes me happy. And I don't want to bother anybody else. I don't think anybody has an issue there. But this is a problem where you have these activists that come out and are basically attacking children that there's going to be a backlash.
And unfortunately for the trans folks that just want to live their own life and not bother anybody, what these other assholes are doing is going to come down on them. You know, it's no different than racism. There's a lot of people that like, I don't like the black people because there's they're the ones that are committing all the crimes. Well, that's you're generalizing in a way that's dangerous. Right? But it is it's very it's a very dangerous generalization, but people do it all the time.
And it's human nature that, you know, a mob gets all riled up and all of a sudden they're going to go after and I think that no agenda hit this one right now, that this is all about that whole divisive nature of things. Again, if you could divide enough groups and dividing parents and children now that one I didn't even see coming. But if you can do that, you can make whatever change in the world you want.
And I think there's a quote attributed I don't know if this is true or not, to Adolf Hitler with the Hitler Youth, there was a quote, something like, you know, hey, once we have your children, we don't we don't need you we don't care about you. The war is already won if we've got your children. And I don't think. That's a quote. It's something like that. I mean, that's at best a paraphrase. But I mean, I'm not quite there's that's the sentiment is I'm going how dare.
You not quote Hitler properly. I should study a lot better and I'll work right out. That right there. You want to talk about it cold open or that screaming that right right there. I think the cold open the room when I said the word timecode timecode. Uh huh, no. But I'm telling you that there's a lot that is, that is the mentality because you look at what's going on in Chicago, in New York, and it's mainly young black guys killing people. Yeah, I don't know who else would want to live there.
But nobody at this point. I don't think even anybody that lives there wants to live there. You know. Because it's, again, the White. House, the plans for the the race race thing still happening. Yeah, that's still planning out happening. They've been releasing the the schedule on where the roads are all going to be shut down. And yes, it looks like it's going to be glorious. I'm looking forward to watching that with all the drone shooting, all the action.
You know, And that's exactly what NASCAR wants. And I think this will be one of the most watched races because it's going to be completely different than anything they've ever done. So it's going to get some eyeballs. I don't know if it's going to be a good race. Mostly, you know, and that may be the best use for that city. Used to be Chicago. Yes. Death race 2023. Exactly. You know, I don't know if the drivers know
that this is a possibility that they're going to get shot during. The they could get shot and they might drive over somebody and you just keep going. And I want to know if somebody if somebody can pull off the carjacking during the race, that would be that would be fantastic. Yeah. You know, it's going to be I know there's going to be some, you know, like these. Stop serve carjackers. Right.
Well, and also in the circuit of the Americas, you know, there's a couple of those turns that they slow down to like 20 miles an hour because they're such a hairpin turn. Well, if you get into one of those others, you could get jump front of the car. Of course, they're going to slam under brakes, maybe not ask to be told that to. Somebody jumps off the track, you just run them motherfuckers down mad. You just Yeah, they. Might have special m special rules.
You need, right? Well, you need like they used to have. Maybe they still do on most trains. The cow catchers. It just keeps going more and more like a 1980s movie with Schwarzenegger. Right? It does seem to be very interesting to see how it all plays out. 20, 20, the future, the future of nothing but people shooting at each other. Yeah, he's all he needs a Taylor.
Swift, right? Deadly virus. Yes. The yeah, I mean, like if this shit writes itself it totally do a script for a 1980s Schwarzenegger ogre movie set in a future dystopian 2023 Chicago Yes. Virus definitely City. Yes. With the world it's easy. At a crossroads. Only one hero can save us. Now it's Taylor Swift. Yeah. Yes, man. Who is who's actually a hologram because she died ago. It could be. You never know. You never know.
I was just amazed I got the answer to this question that there was a story that people were complaining about how shitty quality wise the merchandise, like the t shirts and stuff they're selling out her tour. And I'm like, Really? Is that a surprise to anybody? Yeah, I believe that. Because I've never well, I won't say I've never gotten a bad T-shirt concert T-shirt. That wasn't crap, but they're usually crap. You know how much they cost?
They cost about a buck 50. Yeah, that's one of my buddies. Is A CEO of a company. What the hell are they called the. But they. They grew and they got big, basically by printing t shirts for music acts for bands and stuff. Yeah, Yeah. They're called like recycler or something like that. Or reliable reliable later or so.
I remember back in the day when getting t shirts made up for a country artist and it was a relatively small country artist and we weren't buying in the bulk that was getting them, you know, the t shirts for like two bucks. But I think we were buying the shirts for like four or five bucks. And if you wanted the ones that weren't going to disintegrate immediately, they were like six bucks. Yeah. And you know, back then it's like you were still selling them for 20, 30 bucks apiece.
So the profit margin was great, but people were mad that the Taylor was crap and Universal Music. Who didn't skip a beat like, Well, no, no, they're like the distressed look, so they're meant to disintegrate once you go into. Whatever. I know right? But somebody as a fan was like, Well, I waited in line for 5 hours to buy a t shirt. I'm like, Wait, how does this happen at a concert event? Because I've gone to concerts and the concerts usually go like this.
If it's a 7:00 concert, the doors are opening like at five and then you got the concert and then they kick your ass out and you go, You don't have hours to wait, huh? Well, Taylor Swift, big fucking genius. Obviously, the people around her are doing what NASCAR does, and They have the haulers that just drive up to the parking lots and they sell the merch right out of the trucks that never goes into the venue. Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.
So the trucks show up and open up at like ten in the morning and that the one venue, I think it was in Florida, they said people were showing up at like midnight the night before to wait in line. By ship to. Buy merchandise. Yeah. Well, and this is how I know that things have not gotten as bad as they still could get. We have when you see people saying, oh, I spent four or $500 on Taylor Swift merch. Yeah. Although to be fair. And I'm looking right at you right now when I'm. Right here.
Through my microphone. But to be fair, I bought Taylor Swift merchandise 20 bucks that I can now sell online for 100. So there's that merchandise that I bought for you and then some for you. How much are you selling that for online? I haven't even sold those yet. Those are all just the autographed vinyl pumpkins. I'm sure they're still going up, baby. Uh huh. But you better make a donation to this podcast once you do Thor, if you make profit. To this podcast right here, the.
Reluctant go to hell. Yeah. Please keep on listening to the unrelenting show. You can make sure you tell your friends unrelenting show. It's unrelenting. You know, it's easy to listen to the shows that are on every week, build their own web. We're getting there, We're getting there. We're getting the opposite direction. We used to be there for years, and then you start getting sick. For years and years. Yeah, I think. That I'm hoping that we're on that path here because like you.
Said, for over a year. I know it's been it's been a couple of weeks. This is this is the oddity when it comes to any kind of the medical stuff is you never know what the trigger is. So let's just say and I don't think it's necessarily the case, but let's just say that the gum irritant because of that crown. Yeah. Was causing the arrhythmia I'm not kidding. You know you don't know. How do you know now I know now that it's stop. How do you know? Because there's no linkage there.
There shouldn't be, you know, without having, you know, a period periodontal, you know, an infection in there, then. You should you're, you could yeah, there are different systems if you were having migraines I would say that's totally related. If you were having weird glitches with your tastebuds, I would say that's totally related. Yeah. But when it's what's your heartbeat that's not related? The electrical system of your heart is quite oftentimes tied to having a deficiency of something.
Yeah. Now, I've always been taking magnesium. Yes, that was the first one. I was always take. I was taking the huge ass sports pills, the magnesium citrate, because that's just when we first started taking. Yeah. And then I had to order some for my dad, which was the magnesium oxide, and I ordered some of those for myself. I'm like, Well, shit, these pills are a lot smaller. Let me try these. So yeah, that's a that's what I've gone to the magnesium oxide.
But I've also, while I've always been taking the magnesium and one way I started taking taurine and the L arginine I think it is. Yep. And what the taurine that is the one that popped up a bunch of times when it comes to arrhythmias so I've been taking 4 to 5 grams of that per day for the last couple of weeks and things have been quiet. Now that's not really even that much because the manufacturer's suggested, the one that we got from the Who is it now I think is the supplement maker and you're.
Taking your vitamin K is right. The vitamin K, now that I've got the tubes, I have changed to the vitamin D at a lower rate with the vitamin K2 in there. Okay, good. So that's also been added in. Yeah. The taurine, they say take one or two a day so that would be up to two grams per day. I'm taking five. But you know as we've discussed when you're six foot six and close to £300 you know it's not way too much from the studies that use taurine to control the arrhythmia.
They were taking like 12 to 15 grams a day. Jesus, I. Know that's a lot of taurine. Yeah. I think I take 500 milligrams. The I had no idea until I was reading up on all of this stuff that taurine via I.V. is one of the things they do for in the hospital situations to get a heart back into sinus rhythm. So I would say there's definitely a connection.
I don't know if I had a lack of that or of just having extra helps, but now when I go and do the recumbent bike, for now that the weather's getting nicer, if I go out and start to walk for a few miles, I got some of this stuff I think done and you add that makes it that it will give you like your Gatorade but without the sugar. So you just drop it to 16 ounces of water and it gives you the magnesium, the potassium, the electrolytes, whatever else is in there. And you're doing the coke. You ten?
Yes, the Coke Q10. I'm taking a couple of those a day once in the morning, once night. I'm telling you, the coke you tent, I believe again, because this is we have multiple things stacking and multiple things going on. And I have been doing more in exercise. I want to lose the weight, but the blood pressure dropped like a rock. And I think it was the Coke Q10, which is a beautiful.
Yeah. Yeah. Because I was going from Yeah, you know, 150 on that higher number two in the eighties on the lower number, you know, now I'm getting regularly, it's like 120 over 70 something. It's like. Damn, that's good. I'm stored like 120 over 80. That's right in the range you want to be in. It is, but that's with a lot of drug. There's a number. Of drugs. I'm at like 150 over 100. Yeah. See, that's not good. No, it's that, that's why I take a lot of drugs. And that's what happened.
My dad, when they switched a blood pressure medication, it was like 180 over one and something and it's like. Yeah, this is how I ended up in the hospital. Yeah, three years ago. Back in shit. I'm trying to remember what year this would have been. Probably 90 or sorry, 2009, 2008 or nine. 8008 I think is I thought I was having the heart attack because I had numbness in my left hand. I was smelling burnt toast. Well, that sounds like a stroke. Yeah, well, whatever.
I mean, that's my wife happened to be making toast, and I just I started having some kind of a tightness in my chest, and I was like, Huh. I remember vaguely these symptoms from television. I wonder what's going on? And yeah, I stole my photos at the time. And so I end up telling my wife and she's like, Well, let me know when you're at the hospital, I'll be watching TV. I thought her question was, They can't detect arson. They they Yeah. Right, exactly.
Like, Hey, is your life insurance up to date? Did you enjoy that stuff? Pepper we had for lunch? Yeah. Oh, man. She made the best stuff. Remember that? Well, you said she was Russian or. Yeah, that just very, very right. That is a good food of Omega Project. Says he takes the ten, but it does nothing for his blood pressure. This is another case. Yeah, it's not for blood pressure. Did. No. Besides the side effect, correct. Well it is a side effect for some people. Which is another some. People.
That makes these supplements such a hard thing to get a a handle on as far as what they're going to do, what they're not going to do. Because I've read reports that said some people, when they take the CoQ10, are able to get off of or lower the dosage on the blood pressure medication they're taking. But as you say, that doesn't happen for everybody. It does not for me. I've done CoQ10 for three months and then stopped it and there was zero change in blood pressure.
So again, medical stuff is very. But once we have the nanobots gene, they're going to inject that stuff right in. Yeah, they sure will. We're all going to live forever, except for the people that the nanobots destroy. I mean, the one thing that is definitely the case is that of all the pills that we take, we think a lot over 90% of that pill is. Oh, yeah.
It, it's either not actually absorbed by the body or it is filler in order to provide the actual active ingredient, the filler has to be that much. So it's like that's one thing I've definitely learned about just taking things intravenously is the quantities are so much more minuscule. If you can get it directly into your blood and bypass the stomach. Right. It's a much smaller amount. Oh, and it upset I mean, every morning when I go on this cocktail of stuff.
Yeah, it's almost guaranteed that you're going to have a stomach ache within a half hour. Yes. Yeah, I just started. Just shoot more of this stuff. They they go whatever would be easier. I mean, I'm just so used to it at this point. That's like not a problem. I can do my own. I go in it, you know, I got the blood pressure meds, I got the one baby aspirin, which is like, Really? Is that doing anything? I don't know. I've been thinking those forever. I just think they ticket. They do.
They do take. Stock. So I'm not the only one. I'm not the only one that thinks that they taste good. Okay? They do have. Like if you can make a candy that tasted like that, right? I would totally have that. It's almost hard. See one which is a problem, You know, it's that good. They keep on to keep on popping those, but because I just normally swallow them. But when but they do taste good.
If you bite them. Yes. The last time that I wound up going to the hospital in the ambulance when I thought I was I think this was when I thought I was having the stroke, because the whole side of my body went tingly. Well, like, well, your heart seems okay, But here they gave me a handful. I mean, it was probably five or six baby aspirins that are just like, chew these. And it was like, damn, are good. They are good. These are good. Kids Don't do drugs, too.
But I mean, if you're going to do any baby, aspirin is probably safer than, you know. It's heavier. I don't know about that. Excess aspirin can have multiple problems. You can get internal bleeding from it. You can get a ulcers. You have a variety of things that happen. Even at small but raises, that is the issue. But that's what I've got. Those are the main medications that I take in the morning and the blood pressure and the the baby aspirin. But then I've got the coke. You can add the.
I the first thing I've been taken is I get up before I even make the breakfast pop and a couple of taurine and a couple of the course of that. Yeah yeah. And that's getting my day going and. I've got that the one packed so the torso and the person there. I can't split up them words there in one pill so there's company I found that make the A combo deal. But just mix all the. Many pills. That's the problem is there's way too many pills. I know.
It's like you put it, you put these things, we get them ready beforehand and you pour these things out to take in the morning and it's like there's like ten of them now, if not more for what I eat. I'm literally at the point where easier for me to do two handfuls of pills over one because the one is too big. If I just do the one. Whatever. Works well, you know, it's just and.
Then it's a little bit later in the day, a couple of hours after breakfast is when I'm doing the inside with the metoprolol. Mm. Yeah. So that's the harder stuff. That's the more fun stuff. Mm. And with the flecked night it'll be interesting to see. I'm hoping I can just get back off of that at some point.
And I think a lot of that is just getting into better shape because when I went to see the my normal doctor who has been out for like six months with some kind of medical condition, which is never good. Oh, but the other doctor in his office. He's like, been out. That's Not a good thing. No. No. The other guy's like, well, you know, you should probably get checked for sleep apnea. He's like, Because it's amazing if you get the sleep apnea effects. A lot of times any arrhythmias just disappear.
So. Hmm. That is what the the goal is at this point is because I the sleep apnea tests seem like a real pain in the ass. I mean, seems worse. Have you done one? I've done I've done it once. No, but from what I hear. Pain in there. I mean, basically ensures you're not going to get any sleep at. Night, right? It's like, come on, and we're going to monitor you. We're going to see what's going to happen. And yeah, I don't think I would sleep. I'd be like, This is weird.
I guess I sleep when I'm in the hospital that well, but. No way you could do it at home, too. You don't have to be in the hospital. They send you all the shit they could do at home. But it's still it's not a restful night's sleep when you do it at home. Right? So the better thing is just get rid of the weight, and then the sleep apnea usually goes away because, well, there are people who are rail thin that have sleep apnea. It's a rarity.
Yeah, it is a rarity because it's generally caused by the the the either the tightness or the looseness, I can't remember, of the folds of your neck tissue of like your throat tissue, basically. So you're when you relax, if you're fat, you've got some fat storage inside of your neck and that tends to make the the tissue inside your throat kind of clump together and close it off. And that's not good when you're trying to breathe.
And then that's why you get the little, you know, snorting sound coming out is because it's your your body notices you're not breathing. It strains harder, which then forces the air through, which causes the vibration and rumble and and then generally wakes you up a little bit. So you don't. And so the problem with it is that sleep apnea prevents you from getting a good night's sleep. That's the main downside, which is also why I haven't done anything about mine. Did you sleep like a baby?
Well, it's yeah, I mean, I'm not really sleep and I have a baby. I, I actually, you know, I've got a, my mattress has a full sleep quality control device thing in it, so it tells me how I'm sleeping. It tracks all four different phases of sleep and how much time I spend each one. It listens to my snoring and it shows me how many times and what time I stored. It tells me like how many times I turned while I was sleeping kinds of data.
It's interesting why this is the Apple Watch. Tell us the snoring. I mean, they should have that ability. You know, I don't know. I've got other devices for that. But same kind of basic concept. And you can't ask a watch to do too much, right? Well, the battery would run out. It's already shitty battery. Yeah. Now, over the last month, my average time of sleep is 7 hours and 31 minutes. That's not bad. Certainly perfectly fine. Yeah. Anything between seven and 8 hours. Just perfectly fine.
So then you look at the time where I was having the arrhythmia, and that's when you got the big middle of the night not sleeping. It's like, see that as you said, with the sleep apnea, that's the worst part about the arrhythmia was it's keeping you up because you feel it in. It freaks me out and. Once that goes away, a good night's sleep does make a difference. Yeah. And what you really want is you want a good 2 hours. Ideally of deep sleep. So that's. I think that's your theta.
I believe it'd be wrong. So if you're not getting that, you're not getting as recharged as well. But ultimately, you know, it's not sleep isn't just simply having your eyes closed and being in bed. Right. Sleep is your body kicking in into recharge mode. And that's something that will typically, you know, it's not going to happen unless your body's in the right. Like, for example, if you drink a bunch of caffeine, you close your eyes, go to bed, you're not really going to be sleeping.
Or even if you think you're sleeping, you're not really resting. Yeah, you don't want to do a bunch of cocaine. No, cocaine before sleep is not a good idea. But you're not even going to get into bed if you're going to cook them all. That alone and. Generally. So, you know, I wouldn't worry about it too much with the cocaine and cocaine type popular these days anyway. I mean, I know that's what you really long for. The eighties. I love the eighties. But I do I like the data.
I'll give that on the iPhone with the watch. I like the data even though it's not as much as I would like. It gives. You an interesting. Oh, it gives you something to definitely, absolutely does. But you know I'm also sending you some scripts for some more stuff as well here. Oh good. You want me to be on more things? Yeah. Yeah. Let's just make sure that you're. You're fully.
Because I don't want you missing more shows, Dude, it's getting into the point where people are forgetting that we still have a show. Well, I mean, you just can't find anybody else that will talk to you either, So, I mean, there's. There's that. Well, I'm finding plenty of people thank me. But, you know. Nobody that's. Interesting is one of the core ones that I that I have, that this is where you.
This is where people come see now that I'm on the I shouldn't even mention the on signal because now Gene wants to message me all this stuff here. All day long. Got a signal, man, But it'll disappear that. Finally it took like five to get you convinced to get it. Well, it's because I was running on talks until the wife went to the iPhone because she wanted an Apple Watch. Because I had an Apple Watch. So she had to get an Apple watch. That usually works.
And with that, I was like, Yeah, I'm not setting up talks on the iPhone. No, I'm like, What's the next best thing? And I'm like, Oh, Jean always talked about that signal thing pretty good. Then that's what we are now. We are a value for value podcast, believe it or not, most people don't. I believe it. Unrelenting. That show is the place you can go. We put these things out there. We hope we're giving you value, even if it's just little giggle here and there. But where else are you going to get?
Medical talk, supplement, talk, political talk, AIDS talk, where else? Yeah. Music. Taylor Swift. Though, there's a lot of Taylor Swift talk. I mean, now that she broke up with her long term boyfriend, I was like, well, now that. Well, I have to find out whether she's going to be taking trips to Mexico. I know everybody on the no agenda, socials like Taylor Swift, She's singing Taylor Swift single. I'm like, that's not helpful. If you can give me her number or, get me her number.
If you can give her my number and get me her number, that would be helpful, because then immediately the story broke that one of these these, you know, Perez Hilton types or whatever said that, you know, inside sources say she's already dating an older man in D.C. girl over I know one the socials they're an older. School and wait man yeah with what. Podcast you're moving quick Yeah I mean why wouldn't you want a data podcaster. To famous. You, right?
I guess this show has made me way, way, way too famous. But CSB, I mean, he wins today with his 12 bucks. Wow. With that. It was only because he was sending another podcaster or Buddy Bad drew $33 and I'm just doing money laundering for CSB. He set me bitcoin and he's like, give 33 bucks to bad Drew and then split the rest for unrelenting nice. Yeah, of course he wants me to talk about his podcast, which we did right upfront that cooking with that gift Guy.
Yeah. And he actually thank me because I mentioned that podcast and my other podcast and just two good old boys. I did a little mini review of his podcast and then I actually link to it in the show notes. Getting him some new ears. Yeah I get them some New Years.
I will say that I don't know if you listen or if you ever heard that podcast or not, but I was kind of surprised at how much liberty has his voice has, is I well, it's it's a human IQ because clearly not actually just reading what he writes is doing a whole bunch of ad lib things. He meat bag intelligence. His meat. Bag. Yeah. So I was I was actually surprised and I don't know, maybe, uh, I assumed was going to be listening to see us be with a different voice.
But instead it sounded like I was listening mostly to Griff with a little bit of carbs writing thrown in. Gregory William for Safe Foreman. I know there's a voice changer that comes with or. I like to call him just as cock. Yes, Griff, the K. Okay. The I just just cut. This cut the e R6 bundle from AQ Sonos I believe comes with a voice changer. So it's like that CSB could probably do. The doesn't need a voice change. Do the air voices right now are so good. Well I basically got a for.
Somebody if they want to read it themselves and then just have their voice recognizable. The technology's getting there for that as well, which basically I guess is going. To use the using voice to using speech to text. And text to speech. Yeah. So it's going to do that on the fly and just be like, Oh, we'll listen to what you said. Yeah, I'm going to program. That'll do it. It's still annoying because it's like a 22nd delay, but it'll do sort of, by the way.
In fact, I can even use your voice when I go up. I've got that loaded in there so I can use your voice and just by talking in my voice and then having it translate. Well, this is the kind of thing that was just used and I no agenda covered this story, too, which I thought was hilarious, that the woman whose daughter was on a ski trip and gets a phone call claiming that somebody had kidnaped her daughter and wants money. Oh, yeah, that happens all the time, though. It's easy to do now.
And they were like, Well, here's the thing though, that really annoyed me with this was the story. Okay, we all know that's bullshit. We all know that it's easy enough to do the AI voice cloning. Mm hmm. Now, with that said, this whole thing was like, Well, my daughter's hardly even on social media, but she did do a couple of interviews with local news, so she's probably a smart kid or something. And maybe that's where they got her voice.
But this whole thing was accompanied by multiple pictures of the girl, of the mom, of the family, of where they live. And it's like, well, if you didn't want to be a fucking target. Mm hmm. Allowing your daughter's likeness to be spread all over the world as part of this story is really fucking dumb. Mm hmm. But I guess people don't realize that. They just want to grab their 15 minutes. But it's like. It's funny that this happened. This is horrible. It's like what?
You just put a bigger target than yourself. Mm hmm. But I think what this says, if any of your kids, you have to teach them, this is kind of like a safe word. If they're going to call you and they've really been kidnaped, make sure that they call you. If you know, if they always call your mom or dad, then they really should call you mother or father. Something should be changed. So you know that this is or there's you got to have a safe word that you throw in that you know it's them.
Yeah. All you got to do is just ask what the what your middle name is. Right when the kid gets well that they could maybe find. But when the kid gets kidnaped, can you imagine the kidnaper? Yes. We've got your daughter. She'd be like, What? Can you ask her for the passphrase? Yeah. Because if you can't give me the passphrase, fuck you. It's not her. Exactly. That's what you need to do with your kids. I think that's the appropriate approach. Yes, you.
Any time you get a call from a kidnaper, you have to say, if I don't hear the correct passphrase, then you don't actually have her. Yes. And that takes care of everything. Yeah, it really does. Because people are just way too easy to fall for this stuff. But even if. You don't have a passphrase, just say that anyway, because they'll probably slip, right? Because they're. Just going to hang up like, Well, fuck this, this is you don't know. Anything, but they should.
Throw them off their game entirely. I'll go down the list to the next person. Exactly. And then you have to pay us the ransom. Of course, in this. Robbery, you don't have outrun a bear. You just have to outrun the guy that's running next to you. Exactly. And if you want to know all the evil things that I could do, listen to cooking until LG comes to buy in that domain name. That could be the way to. Yeah, exactly. It's going to be on all their microwaves any day now. Hey, I cooking.
That's when me and. Our buddy Eric Cipher coming in with his $5 a month. So that's a grand total guy. I guarantee you. You just forgot. He doesn't know. He doesn't know the show. Still running. Eric, if you're. Out there, even though what the show is this point. Thank you. Miscellaneous Bank. Fee. Thank you very much. $17 in total. So if you split that among two people, that's like $8 minus the well, the and everything. So that's like $4 an hour I think we're each making which I don't.
Listen that. We can't even buy a cup of coffee for that. I mean, honestly would be more than they typically make but. You mean at your podcast or at your unemployment line? Yeah, well, yeah. Whereas I was definitely Yeah, unemployment line. I wish it no such thing for me. But no, if it wasn't for those food and checks coming in then I don't know where I'd be. Well Vlada is sending you a lot of cash. I mean it's all Russian currency though, but what, The dollarization of the war? Actually, it's.
It's actually worth something is tied to the gold standard. It's all fucking the country. All of this moving away from the American dollar. This is not going to go well. No, this is not going to go well. We're in the right. Side of this one, guys. Yeah. I have no suggestions on where you should be putting your money or any currency. That's better. I mean, Bitcoin has been going nuts since you stopped it weekly, which I thought I know. Fantastic.
That is such ridiculous timing to what the fuck, man. Like Murphy's Law is. It's never really EV's law. Something like. This. Yet the Russian Virgin Virgin Virgin version of Murphy's Law would be Aliens Law. And I finally got the Bitcoin thing installed on my stream deck now, too. I can see it over. Oh, that's nice, isn't it? You could just look at the monitor and it shows its. Size 111. It's a beautiful thing. And hopefully this episode is going to sound really good.
I had to update all of the plug ins because one of the old plug ins from Acciona was was acting up. Really? Yeah, It was causing the addition to freeze constantly, which is never good, but they have new ones. There's in the era six and the the isotope rex ten. He put both of those together and they could do some amazing things. With really. The process of removal the DSR. I don't really have plosives. That's very few for us because the RC 20 is great.
It's a great mark for not having plosives in. While the RC 320 sucks for plosives. Adam Curry's got a little more than you do because he don't use the big ball. Oh yeah, yeah. No, I've the big ball. The 320 is way worse on plosives than the r 20. By I don't have plosives did. No the sub seven b that's even. Oh that's the worst one you. And the people that use that don't know how to.
Because you know, I swear to God I see that Mike even on small YouTubers that like people, it used to be everybody that had like 100,000 or more subscribers had that Mike is they were told at certain points like, Oh yeah, no, if you're going to sound like a pro, you've got to buy this thing Well, and. It means you made it. Look the same seven B it's $400 mike from you. It shows that you know what you're doing. It shows you're serious.
At this point, I'm seeing like YouTube channels with under 5000 subscribers and they're sitting on these mikes and they're not speaking into the mike correctly. Right. It's like, why did you buy this fucking thing, dude? That's right. And you can't see the thing too with. Your got one. So I've got to get on.
Well and these microphones, phones, if you're watching YouTube videos with people using them, it's an optical illusion that looks like the microphone is pointed in a completely way than it is. I've noticed this quite a few times. It's like that doesn't look right. I'm pretty sure a lot of them are not pointed where they should be. It's probably true that the people buy them, think they're pointing them in the right place. Yeah, but they're not.
But the things the and there's a nice auto version built into the isotope one. Now it's nice because we have all of our speakers on individual channels. Well how much are those isotope filters where they run. To hundreds if not up to a thousand, the whole thing. Yeah. And you can have it. Listen to the channel and it'll now do a recommendation of how much DSR, how much. Really. That's cool. I like that. It's like a one stop shop, which it gets pretty damn close to right out of the box.
I use that on Grumpy Old Benz this week. It just. Okay, tell me what you think is right. And it sounded pretty good. Interesting. Yeah, well, I'm still doing the the sweetening that's done by the script. The other magical baked in won't tell you what. I'm doing, which is a combination of a bunch of these things, but it sounds good. I like I like the end result. The biggest thing that I think it's doing is just doing really good leveling. Which is important.
I mean, that is the worst thing you can get in a podcast, is that when one is speaking and it's really loud and then the other person speaking, you can barely hear them. You somehow notice you're always a little louder than I am. And the end result of our podcast. Well, CSB says I'm shouty. I keep trying. That he does call you that. I find that funny. And I keep running the the filters, you know, the vocal. There's the one. I'll see how the Eerie six one works.
They have a voice level or that has been my favorite, the one that's built in to Adobe audition does not seem to work great, although that's because it's built into Adobe audition. Yeah, yeah. But I usually have that thing. I finally canceled my Adobe subscription. I was just like, I don't use any of these fucking tools and I keep paying them 50 bucks a month. Actually 60 now it went up, so it wasn't like 30 or 20 or 30 for a while, and then it went up to 60.
What was only Photoshop to begin with, right? And then they added everything. No, no, no. They had a deal last Christmas or something for cheaper. So I signed up for it again. All right. Because they get. A deal every year. So I usually sign up every year, then cancel. Well, that's why I always go and best Buy is the only place I can find the physical card. Now for the student and teacher willing to audition. Right. And then they send it to you and you scratch it off.
You type that in and it just adds a year on. Yeah. And it's like 240 bucks, but for the year. So you take. That. Yeah. For the year. So that's right. You know 20. Bucks a month is ah I would pay 20 bucks indefinitely. But what I ended up doing because the main thing I was using was the, their video editor, the camera. Yes. So I finally switching to, to what the hell is it called. It is called Da Vinci I Yeah.
Free. Yeah. Which is amazing because Da Vinci is a more professional tool than premiere. It's like it does color grading. It does all kinds of shit you would actually do if you're making movies. Not not that I need any of the shit mind you, just from a usability standpoint but they're they're pricing policies awesome Which is if you're not making money with your movies, you don't have to pay us yet. Premiere seems to be harder to get running on than audition.
Maybe it's just because there's way more things that can be done. But yeah, the few times I've dabbled in the video realm, it's like, well, how do I, how do I just in change the color? Like in Photoshop? You could just go and say, tell me what you think it should be. Yeah, yeah. There. I can't find that button in for me in every mirror. It may exist, but it's like, give me your best guess. That's why I want the A.I. stuff. I just wanted to look at the video would be like.
I sent you a link to the A.I. video editing shit that I use. I don't think so. Oh, I'll send you like that too. I did notice. And I want to try this. I want to. I'm going to download this and maybe we can try this on another video extravaganza, the end video. You know, the people that make the video cards. Mm. They have software. I it's called MVD, a broadcast, which is meant for doing, you know, exactly what we were doing.
And one of the features now in there A.I. of the of the beast is even if you look to the side of the screen like I would right now reading the Troll Room, it keeps your eyes looking forward at the camera. It takes away you looking to the side. It won't let your eyes do that. And I'm like, Holy crap, that's cool. If it works, cool. I like that.
If that works and works well, that would make it a lot more usable for people like me who are like into one side, look into the other side, trying to find something here, trying to do something there because it gets distracting. But if I could just sitting in one place and then look all the way to one side. Well, that wouldn't be nearly as Oh.
My, what I what I did, which I am sure you saw, if you saw any of my videos that I was doing with Griff past, which I'm mostly I mean I'm still going to be a guest on them, but I'm not doing that on a regular basis. Yeah, I had to transcribe some work. Yeah. I hate to unsubscribe from that channel. Yeah. I mean, you brought good content. The other people was just, I don't know if they did.
It's. Yeah, I kind of like I enjoyed it while I was on there regularly, but I also get to be almost like work. Right? It was no fun unless you're making money. Well, yeah. And the money was definitely coming in at that point in time. But also like the other guy, the guy whose channel we were bouncing off of, he really needed money. So I wasn't thinking it, but I was letting him keep all of it.
But yeah, there were nights where, you know, we had 500 bucks to me and when they and then the next night had a fight. But it sounds like he had 500 bucks coming in. Well, okay, let me let me phrase what I mean by that. I get it. He wasn't making anywhere near that before. I got on there, and he isn't making anywhere near that now. Oh, so what? Okay, so everything dropped off. Oh, yeah. So you're like the way I was. The one bringing value to this mofo. Uh huh.
And he was now going to learn that lesson. That why his content is not as good. It's he's has a, a niche appeal. Yeah. To more and more of a broad appeal. Yes. We all like broads. Yes, we love broads. So if you're a broad and you're listening to this, let us know. Unrelenting. That show, we will be back. And I mean, as far as we know, we will be back next week on Friday. Yeah. Unless they're and has some kind medical emergency. MAN Two and a half weeks.
MAN I'm pounding on the desk and hoping this is. I am too fake word all the way. I'm going to go back into a little lead, a little Viagra for that. Yeah. Hopefully it lasts a nice long time because, I mean, these Friday morning sessions get the weekend just ready for everybody that's listening right now live on the no agenda stream. Yeah at 40. Five. Going to be on the Houston no agenda meet up tonight you'll see me there.
75 people listening right now thank you for taking time go to unrelenting that show if you haven't subscribed yet and the best thing you can do, you know, besides sending us a thousand or more dollars at any given time, tell a friend about the and if you see Gene at the meet up, he will buy you a beer. Just ask me.
