079: Fountain Fail

Oh, my God. Stalin brought in schools that teach Russian. One, two, three. Oh, wait. No, that's not the that's not the thing that you could play that. That's fine. But we might get sued by these. Whoever would. I'm pretty sure no one's going to enforce it. I guess you're right. What are they going to do? It's the Soviet. It's the official march. It's like, Well, thank you. Thank you for being part of our communist tribe. Ladies and gentlemen, we're. Hello and welcome. This is episode number 79.

They're heading up now. June. Yeah, I like in dog years, we'd be dead. We'd be dead by now. Which would, you know, put us out of our misery. Mhm. I'm Darren O'Neil. He's Geneva. And how are you today? There. I am doing well. I've really been up on the bike and I getting the day going. I mean. Yeah, you got to. It's the only way to get everything that you need to get in. In. Mhm. Right. Good. I know we had and I mean if you like Jancee divorce amp.

I know they suck, you know I have aunts and I learned to just live with them. You just like I even want to. They don't want to file. Here's the thing. Here in Texas we have the fire ants. Yeah, those are no good. And when those little critters bite you, it feels like you stepped on the nail. Yeah, your pin. Nasty. Not fun. So I. I have a bunch of high end killer, and then we have the normal size, the non fire version, and they've been around and they've eradicated those.

Every time those are exploded, then they have these little bitty hands. They're about a third the size of a normal hand. Yeah, that's what these are. They look like. If you don't really pay attention, it's like a grain of pepper, almost. Uh huh. And, you know, I just thought they were kind of cute, so I left those critters alone. Haven't been trying to kill them. And I think they're living in my bathroom, though. Well, that's it. Somebody should be. Cause I see them walking around every morning.

I think they're coming down to the, uh. They like water. Get a drink. Right. Yeah. Especially in Texas. Water is probably important. Yeah. Yeah. So it's a thing, but I don't know, I just. I they're not really bothering me. I don't know. It all depends where they are. Well, plus, it's. It's food for the pet spiders. Well, that's true then. Everything. It's an ecosystem. It all kind of works. I would prefer that the the the black widows eat the ants rather than me.

Right. You don't want those to get into. That was. I did have a spider bite a few days ago. Not fun. And our buddy John Fletcher, who does that hog story show that you were on once? Yes. He had fire ants one time in Texas there where they were in his underwear drawer, and he didn't notice. Oh, yeah. Well, I got one that's about as bad, if not worse. The first time that I ever encountered those things, I just moved here to the south. Probably a month.

So this happened about a month after I moved here. And it was evening I was going to sleep. Didn't bother turning the bedroom lights on, pulled back, the sheets lay down, and literally a few seconds later, there was a string of explosions across my back and I was like, Oh shit, what the hell was that? Felt like there's electricity running through my bed or something. Jumped up, flicked lights, looked at my bed and saw a trail of ants going from diagonally across the bed from my head to Murphy.

And I was like, What the hell? What are these things? I mean, I theoretically knew about fire ants. I'd never experienced them firsthand. And at that point I was like, All right, come is there's literally a string of them walking. I think they came in somewhere by the air conditioning, went through the bedroom and out to the kitchen. Well, yeah, they're small so they can get in anywhere. Uh huh. Well, bastards. And I was like, I don't I don't want to do this.

So I left sleeping upstairs and just gave. Gave up the first floor of the house. Them the ants. When? Yeah, that night. The ants definitely one. And then at like 7 a.m., drove down to Home Depot, sat in the car until they opened. Got all the poison you bought. Bought about $150 worth of imports. Like, no, in fact, I might still have some from back then and then drove back and read the instructions and bought a bunch of anthrax chips.

But those down and then didn't sleep downstairs for three more days until the poison finally provided a victory. And did you stop leaving at a. Extra peanut butter and jelly in your bed just in case you get angry later on with having a little extra PB and J Just sitting there in the kitchen with the, you know, no cover. Yeah, they will come. They will find it now. Yeah. They have a good sense of smell, apparently.

But what I read and started doing that since that point is in time is you have to take this fire and killer and it's it's a large container it's probably like a gallon and you have to encircle the house. You have to go around the entire perimeter of the house dribbling these pellets. And apparently what that does is it makes the ants find the pellets and go, oh, well, we don't have to go any deeper. Yeah, we found some good stuff. Yeah, we found some yummy, tasty treats.

We're going to start bringing these back home. Little do they realize they're poisonous. And that's how you keep the fire ants from inside your house. Now, there are still everywhere outside because this is Texas, right? So. Yeah. So, yeah, these little itty bitty ones.

And the last time they were coming in from the back of the house into the kitchen, this time it seems they made their way from the front door because unfortunately we've been moving things from the other the lower two levels of the house. It's a split level because we're getting the new carpet put in because we flooded. And so there was a bunch of boxes in the kitchen. So one, there was all of a sudden there's tons of ants.

We had to move the boxes all out of the kitchen, steam cleaned the hell out of everything. Got one of those little Bissell steam cleaner things and then put the ant traps in the back by the kitchen and then put one by the front door. And sure enough, now there's the only one that has been hit was the one by the front door. And there's a bunch of dead little hands and nothing moving. So I'm guessing they brought that back to their hive and have now have now perished due to their greed.

You're right. That's it. They put the little ant food right there and they're like, Oh, this is good. We don't need to go further into the house. We found what we were looking for. Yeah, pretty much. Pretty much. And then the outside, the way that I'm controlling my population is with both of it. But how did the wives deal with you is the question. Oh, they have no problems with me. The they they've figured out that I'm actually a pro wife and a person. You're their guy.

I'm their guy because all the other neighbors keep hiring these, you know, health services. They come and spray for wives and then not me. I put up the newspapers for them to eat so they can build their houses right around my house. I believe in them. You know, I'm kind of green. I'm really very pro of Mother Earth. I just thought you were learning about nutrition. I thought that was the skin tone. Green was, Oh, well, it's a couple of things that and then part reptile.

But other than nothing, it's I just I like solving problems. Naturally, the way you solve a lot of the pest problems is by having predators. So I have spiders. I have both. And they both consume other annoying animals. And then I've never I mean, I can think it. I don't think I've ever been bitten by a moth in my entire life. Is this why when everybody comes to visit your house, they have to dress in like the full beekeeper outfit? Just even get in the front door?

No, that's just more of a fetish you get and you keep all of the solicitors away. That's you know, if you start walking up to your door, you know, your driveway and all of a sudden there's a cloud of wasps, you're like, Oh, maybe I'll go to the best one. Now, this year they didn't put a nest up there, but a couple of years back they built the nest right over the front door. It was perfect. Oh, my. It was. It kept all the solicitors away.

They'd come up, they would say, you know, even before they rang the bell, they would glance up and see a big white nest right over their heads and then see had jobs as paying off and then leave. And why aren't we selling these? Why aren't we selling us imitation wasp nest wasp kits that make it look any kid put a little speaker in there, make it buzz a little bit. People be like, Nope, I'm going to go up to that house. No. Huh, Uh huh.

But, you know, my house doesn't even need decoration for Halloween. So does that. Look, you're celebrating Halloween all year round, is it? Well, it might as well be. Why not? You give away the big candy bars on Halloween. Are you one of them stingy guys? Oh, no, I'm. I'm the exactly what you want them the self-serve guy. You just leave a big bowl out for a bucket of candy outside and let the kids grab as much sugar as they want. If you leave this, we need more research into diabetes.

So that's the best way to do it, is they get more people. They leave the hundred pound snake by the candy just to see what happens to the 24, please. No, he's usually sleeping. I mean, he is incredible sleeper and he just does not like waking up. If I really wanted to do something on Halloween, I would. I would actually do a snake beating right in front of the front door. Oh, yeah. The kids might want to have the cops show up.

Yeah, well, yeah, because when a bunch of chills, there's real blood involved. And plus, when a bunch of children show up to your door and you're like, Hey, kids, you want to see my snake? That's usually not not going to end well, no matter what you're referring to. Yeah, hold on. Let me open the van and get it right. It's that bad in the driveway with no windows. No windows panel, and. Huh, It's a white panel, man. A lot of people drive those. What are you talking about? And they do.

There's a house by my mom's that has like four of them sitting in front. And I'm like, Yeah, either this is either a bunch of terrorists who are planning something or somebody with a business. I'm not really sure which because there's name or it's a safe house. Could be. I mean, if you really you should at least put a company name on the side just to make it seem like it's a legit thing through my guess. But what do I know? I don't pay attention.

Well, I've got one of those magnetic stick logos for the side. Yeah, that works. That way I can change them around as well. It's like your business card holder. It somehow fits 12 different business cards depending on which one you need to pull out. That's true. Nobody really knows if any of them are legitimate businesses, even if they all say totally legitimate business to find out. So it must be true if truly a publishing, totally legitimate publication made a kind of dive.

Yeah, I saw that. Yeah. And I did A Crazy Woman, I played a song, and even people in the in the troll room, they even after people die, they get very they get very mean. They did not seem to like shredded for some reason. Well fucking Catholics would expect. See I'm Catholic and I don't mind Sinead O'Connor. I know, but you're not really Catholic. Well, I was for years. I mean, they may not be as practicing as much.

And to be fair, I the the pope that she tore up the picture of was probably one of the better pope. That's exactly right. It's I being not a Catholic at all. I will say that the current pope seems to be woke. So I don't even like. How did the Catholics allow it? I don't know. I don't know. It is a and supposedly speaks for God. So God must be woke. I don't I don't know about that.

It is the way to take a anything if you want to take down a big group the way to do it is from the inside and this was certainly a big isn't there already a Satan? There's something in there I can't remember. But yeah, the but I see. I understood. The more you kind of look into these things, it's like, well it wasn't that. It was just using the pope as the symbol of the church as the whole. And I respect that. That is being somebody that is an advocate.

And not everybody that's an advocate is on the right side of things. But if you believe in something, I will applaud you trying to make things better. I will only if I agree with you. Well, I mean, I applaud the effort, but I'm not necessarily not going to necessarily agree. Yeah, I don't they don't need to applaud the effort of somebody. I don't agree with you. You're an idiot. You believe me. If you don't believe what I believe, you are not correct. That's exactly right.

If my belief is that focused on belief, it's focused then like in science. Believe the science. Yes. Now, if she says it's true, must be true. But I mean, she was not a pop singer. She was not everybody's taste. But again, you know, it's kind of she was videos on an MTV. I mean, she's not a pop singer, I guess, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was in the pop style. Her singing was not for everybody. It's kind of a Yoko Ono thing.

For some reason, people have a very big reaction here was like the Save the Save singer of that time from that region. Who was Enya? Enya, Yes. Oh, well, that's the these sorry controversy, huh? Why love sail away, Irish female singer, soprano. I mean, the there have been a few that have gone through the Celtic women group that just have beautiful voices, just pure voices. You don't need any of this vocal, you know, why don't you? Because the Irish consensus is it rains all the time.

You have developed those lungs. So rain belt out things. When you're a kid yelling at your parents, I'll be home by six. Very melodic. Yes, but in a very melodic way. Well, that's the way it talk, you know. I know. Yeah, That was that was one of the greatest things, because not all Irish women are super attractive, but the voice is. Oh, my God. Yeah. Okay. See, I was trying to be nice about them. I was trying to be nice. This is not a country of supermodels, but the accents.

Oh, yeah, that's that the. There's an occasional heart rhythm. Oh, yeah. And when you find that crazy accent, then you're. You're all. You're all in. Yeah, well, they're the accents. Nice. Oh, you know, one of these years I need to go back to. It's been too long since I visit the boat country. The Emerald Isle. Yeah. So have a nice grass fed steak in a Guinness fresh from the fresh from the ovens there. Yeah. Oh, my tickets ought to be gone by now, so I should be able to go back.

So you're just waiting for the statute of limitations to be. Oh, that's usually what I do. Uh huh. Once your picture is no longer up at the customs area. That's right. Or once the beard has changed enough where they won't recognize you. Mm. Or once you have a new diplomatic passport from another country. Mm hmm. I was just listening to you before getting hard to come by. Yeah, I was listening to McCartney's back in the USSR right before we went live here.

Yeah. And, I mean, the lyrics are The Ukraine girls really knocked me out. Yeah, they did. They leave the West behind. The Moscow girls make me sing and shout. It's almost like those two areas were part of the same country. Almost. Almost for about 700 years. Yeah, just pointing that out. Just double the length of the old time. This place is building country. But yeah, you know, but I don't think Paul McCartney, who wrote that song, I don't think he wants to give Ukraine back to Russia.

I don't mean you're back to the he doesn't want to give Ukraine back to the USSR. All right. Walked right into that, huh? Yeah. Yeah, that's true. I just. I want something else. Oh, I know what it was. I saw. I was watching. Piers Morgan was a twat, by the way, but he's interesting to watch. Mm hmm. And he. He is. I don't know how to describe the guy because he holds some opinions correctly, but probably for the incorrect reasons.

And then the rest of his opinions are just plain old incorrect, and he's so damn sure of himself. That's amazing. Me kind of like you. Not at all like me, because he's a twat. You get it? Because you're right. And that too. And so he had a couple of guys talking about the whole Ukraine situation. He had that kiss, some dude the Ukrainian bought off asshole from the What does that British show? It's like a it's a political British show.

And they've got like they kind of started getting popular for some reason. I don't know it's it's you've seen clips from it I'm sure but kind of forgive them but something to some. No, I don't consume much BBC Sugar trigonometry is the show. Never heard of it. Never heard of trigonometry? No, but I believe it exists now.

It's one of like two British shows that have what we would probably used to have referred to as liberals, but now are referred to as conservative, meaning they're not really conservative by American standards. They're barely conservative, but they're but they're conservative because the leftist being so far to the left that almost everyone's a fucking conservative at this point. Well, that is the Overton Window concept, that is. Yes. Yeah. And and then the other guests was Jackson Hinkle.

I think that's how you pronounce his last name. And Jackson is that 20 something dude that used to live in California and border that just looks like he should be on TV. Like he's got a an anchor base even though he's in his twenties and Jackson is very staunchly property. And so the tooth and forearm and listening to that different character just once again reinforced my idea, which I unfortunately noticed from my own dad that people that left the Soviet Union can't separate.

They can't make any mental difference between Russia and the Soviet Union, a communist country like to some of these people, and this is specifically the demographic of people that left that country. And like another example that is like the Freeman you've seen like this podcast, right? I've heard the name. I would probably recognize him if I saw him. He's probably the second most famous podcaster after Joe Rogan at this point. I don't watch a lot of podcasts or listen to them.

I only have so much time to do them. I'm. But um hum. Exactly. And the selection of fits in that category as well. But these, these people like they they've heard or experienced first like my dad obviously experiences this here but but basically they have this concept of just how bad the USSR was, right? And then it was well you know there's no that. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

And to them, no matter what happened afterwards after they left it's basically Russia bad that there's no there's no victory there to celebrate to say that yay the Russian people get rid of communism. You know, they moved on from a idiotic political system to something that's better, which frankly is it's capitalism without the big corporations that we have here, like we have oligopolies. Frankly, they they they have oligarchs.

So given the way that things are going right now, I'm really wondering whether oligopolies are better. And I don't think they are. But either way, if you'd be hard pressed to say that Russia is any less capitalist than the US, I think in a lot of ways more capitalist at this point. Well, we talked about that in the last show, at least when it comes to their shopping malls, way more business than we have going on in plenty of business.

Well, it's a more if it's a more business friendly environment and like their their tax rate on businesses last time I checked anyway was 9% is that way. All of your businesses are headquartered in Moscow. Just the legitimate ones. Okay, What? Where are the other legitimate ones? Better countries. Hmm. Third World. There are countries that have negative tax rates. Yeah, well, see, that's where I want to be. That's where we need to LLC. This company right here. Unrelated.

Is that what we need to do? I think so. Cool. Well, I'll see you in Ghana. Oh, that we do. We actually have to go there. Can we just sign some papers? And that's the way Anyway. So, like, there's this whole batch of them and some of them are really old, which I understand. It's like, okay, old fart, like I'm changed mine, whatever.

But some of them are this, this younger generation that literally came to the well that left, let's say, as children and and these same people, both Lex and the skeleton character, they were calling themselves Russians for their entire lives like that was part of their whole shtick. And in the last year, all of a sudden they're now calling themselves Ukrainian. Oh, interesting. And it's like, that was Mila Kunis did the same thing. Oh, did she call yourself Ukraine, though?

Yeah. And she was Russian until this came. Exactly. Then. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. And she doesn't even speak Ukrainian, which is really funny. And neither do any of the restaurant. These just like neither does Jason. None of them speak Ukrainian. They only speak Russian and barely at that. But but they, they have this idea that anything that is associated with Russia and, you know, Russian people is bad. And it didn't it didn't start because of the whole special military operation.

I think that it's more of a like they don't if realistically, if you started saying so you know you're Ukrainian. Well tell me tell me something that you really like about Ukraine other than the girls. Yeah, like the cultural history. If you could just tell me something about it that you really appreciate your You're a big advocate of Ukraine in the Ukrainian culture versus Russian culture guaranteed 100%. None of them could do it.

They do it because they're together, because it's the same fucking country they're tied in together. Exactly. Ukraine literally means by the border. It has always been Western Russia. If you if anyone ever bothered studying history and looking at maps, this was not like Poland in the Eastern bloc, like Poland. And there's plenty of bad should happen in there right now as well.

But Poland has a long history that involves both conquests where where they took over large portions of Eastern Europe and being conquered where they lost their autonomy. So, like, it's a real country with a real culture and real differences between them and their neighbors, like the Germans, for example, and the Russians like there, there's a big distinction there.

Now, in an array, unrelenting oligarch, number one says they speak Russian because Stalin and others forced their ancestors to speak Russian. But never mind that. So, I mean, is this kind of like the the slavery thing here? We have to go back hundreds of years to be like. But way back then, was that Stalin or is it Stalin? Yes. Oh, my God. Stalin brought in schools that teach Russian to standardize education across the whole country. What a horrible person.

The thing that you got to keep in mind is that pre Soviet revolution, there was no public education in Russia, only people that were not necessarily titled, but essentially wealthy were the only ones getting an education. The serfs, which is the population that existed previous to that, they did not get an official education or a state sponsored education. So yes, the evil communists and evil, they are brought in, standardize education.

And that education across the entirety of the Soviet Union was in Russian. So yes, they do. But again, that's like saying, well, you know, back before the United States had a Department of Education, people in Louisiana, they spoke French. But then the US, when they bought territory, came in and made everybody speak English and learn English. And now he says it's the Gene Blow's Stalin segment. My bad. Wow. This is kind of like Kevin Waldorf.

What's the two guys from the Muppets that are echoing during the show? Yeah, I can't remember the other. Did they know that that it's not like that? Because those guys were funny. Oh, damn. Shoot up your game. No break, Waldorf. Why don't we know Waldorf But not the other guy? I don't really know. Waldorf. I mean, you're. You're halfway there. I don't know either. Their names. It's the two old guys, right? For the Reverend. Dr. Fifer knows Statler and Waldorf Statler.

That's not. Is that a real name? That doesn't seem like a real name. I mean, it was the name of the Statler Brothers That was a great country group, but that is. Oh, is that their last names? Waldorf and Sailor? That's the last names of the guys, maybe. I don't know. Well, they never really explain if they have first names or last names. Yeah. Now? Well, I mean, I've never run into somebody named Statler, that's for sure. I guess I've never known a Waldorf either. Waldorf Astoria.

I guess there is, but I didn't know that guy. The other nice hotels. I mean, I've seen his head cooked up. Right? Exactly. So it's. Yeah, The bottom line is that there is a I think it's not a surprise. And I don't know why I thought it was a surprise. I guess I just thought people were more rational. But I'm generally wrong. Whenever something is rational, the benefit of the doubt to people. But there is a very subversive movement of expatriates up there for all country.

It's it doesn't matter what country people live. There seems to be a latent resentment of that country that stays with them for a long time. And it's you know, I've seen it with plenty of other cultures, and I guess it shouldn't be any different in this case. But like. No, but I guess the way things are, I mean, the mantra. Well, they they do. But here, let me give you an example where we'll see what happens.

This hasn't happened yet, but like there's a lot of Chinese exiles, immigrants, whatever you call them, people that used to live in China, they were born in China, that live in the West now. And a lot of them, I would think it's fair to say a majority of them have a disdain for China. They write they love the Cubans of the same way. Go to the monuments. Exactly. Cubans. Cubans. But but there's one little difference, love.

Well, I guess maybe this isn't the difference with Cubans, but but they hate them anyway. So the Chinese Chinese left China. They hate China. Cubans of Cuba. They escaped Cuba. They hate Cuba. But here's my question. Do they hate the communism in Cuba? Do they hate the communism in China, which makes rational sense, or are they going to continue being anti those countries even when the government and the politics changes to something else?

Because that's kind of what I'm seeing with the example with Russia is that people that hated the Soviet Union for good reason, many of them continue to see Russia for no good reason. Well, I don't know. Maybe it's just an expatriate thing. I mean, it maybe because it was so bad when you left, Although the people that leave Cuba, I would pretty much tell you if the leadership changed their. Yeah, they would go back.

I mean that they wouldn't problem it's not I can tell you why that people that left Cuba a lot of them had wealth in Cuba. There wasn't a horde of poor people living. It was mostly the rich that left because they were the ones who were losing their businesses to the not nationalized control that Fidel Castro.

So business owners, people that have made money in Cuba, all the the rum companies, all the tobacco plantations and manufacturers, all these people left now that say it's only the fat cats, but most people that ended up leaving Cuba, they left because they were they were going to have a much worse life as a result of communism there than they have previously. Right.

That would make sense, because now the people that are currently leaving Cuba and have been for the last 20 years is a tiny, tiny number. It was a very small number of people that are leaving there.

And I think most of those and you kind of have to be, frankly, our political refugees, like there are people that spent time in jail or their family members spent time in jail, and they're worried that they're going to be next because they were trying to, you know, do stuff against the government and therefore, they're genuine.

Like these are the people that ought to be let into the U.S. because they're actually escaping real persecution, unlike the thousands that are crossing the Texas border right now who are economic immigrants, they just the no one's prosecuting them in the country they're coming from right there. Just can't make going to the US to make money to be able to send money back home, which anybody in that situation would do. It's economic. Well, it's it's happened for a long time from Mexico in general.

It's just right now the stats I'm seeing, it looks like there's fewer Mexicans crossing over than there are other Latin American countries. And not only that, but they're they've got something like several thousand people from that are on the terrorist watch list. Oh, that's this gone from other parts of the world, really in the last couple of years that what they encountered at the southern border is out of control.

When you realize that the number that they've run into, which is in the hundreds, you realize that how many then have gotten through? It's not. Which I'm kind of surprised we haven't had more bad crap happen. We will. We will. That's probably. Oh, it's very likely. I mean, it's statistic we will. But this is the issue and I think it has been exacerbated with the Internet, with social media.

This has been my buddy Bill O'Reilly's mantra for probably about the last year or so when covering the Trump and Biden stuff, because the mainstream media covers them so completely differently. Unless Your brain is completely gone. You can see this. But otherwise rational people, because of all of this, have very ingrained viewpoints. And it's a it's a cliche going way back. But O'Reilly has said it like every show, people believe what they want to believe.

And this is, like you said, with your dad in Russia, with a lot of the stuff going on in the world, it doesn't even matter what kind of facts you can throw because people no longer believe facts, because we know everything can be made up. You don't believe the source. So I don't it's getting very hard to change people's minds. Yeah. Yeah. And I just I don't I guess I don't care what it comes down to and that's, you know. Right.

I'm not willing to lie to the best you can about the energy at this point, because if somebody is unwilling to have a counter with rational arguments in them, if they're going to fall back on feelings, I got no time for you. I don't care if you're a relative. It's just no, I'm not going down that path. I don't care what you feel like. Well, because you're not going to get anywhere. No, you're not going to get anywhere. And talking about feelings is a is a conversation about preferences.

So you would prefer certain things. Okay, fine. There's not a conversation to be had. You just told me your opinion and my opinion happens to be different. But on top of having an opinion, I actually have the rational thoughts to back that up. How dare you have rational thoughts now? So I don't I'm, you know whatever way Ryan boomers in the troll room says, I feel like Gina is wrong. You guys don't disagree about. Oh, yeah, wait a minute. Well, what is this now?

We're not supposed to be disagreeing. I thought this was agreeing. Old is Exactly. That's that's the concept for the show. Yeah. And the evil terrorists in Washington, DC are doing bad crap every day. But those aren't the bad people coming over the border causing the bad crap. Yet we're talking about different bad crap. Yeah, we're talking about the bad crap. That hasn't happened yet.

And I'm just saying that we have an open border that isn't strictly just being used by Mexicans, which is what the government's portraying. It's being used by people from all over the world. There's Chinese people coming up and who doesn't think the Chinese have done things to subvert the US? No crime, no moderate, says Gina. Convince me. I now feel like communism is the way. So I mean, you got out, you got your word out there.

Uh huh, yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm glad because it makes it easier to track you down. Exterminate you Wait. You won't kill the little ants, but the people. You're all communists. I have a blood feud with Communist. Yes, yes, absolutely. Well, that makes sense. I only get only, only good. Tommy's dead, Tommy. Kill a commie for Mommy. That goes way back. Mm. Genes. Okay. What? They're on a bumper sticker. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hells, yes.

Yeah, It's a I'm not, unfortunately, that that's likely to become the majority in this country. So I think we may in our lifetimes, since we plan on living through 170 still see a the, the little, the little banner you play for fun at the beginning of the show. Oh, the may well become a much more often played piece of music in this country before too long. Well, it goes between the younger millennials and, the zoomers.

There's an awful lot of people that think Karl Marx was brave, crumbling the country from the inside. This was not a incorrect plan. When the Weather Underground wrote in the early seventies that to get the kind of change that they wanted. Hmm. Two of the biggest things infiltrate the schools and infiltrate the media. Yeah, those two things cause such changes in a culture because you're getting the youth. And I know there was a quote from Hitler and everybody loves the Hitler quotes.

It's like, if you if I have your kid here, you get to the point where bringing Hitler in, you got to quote Hitler if you want a good podcast. Hmm. If you're a podcast on the no agenda stream, I think you have to quote Hitler at least once or twice, otherwise they won't keep you on the stream. That's just the way it is. But when it comes to propaganda, Hitler and his boys kind of knew what they were doing.

And once the kids have been sold and this is what you're get, I mean, this is, again, parents who give their kids their devices, whatever it is, at a young age and pay no attention to what their kids are being taught in school and they pay no attention to what their kids are consuming. Yep. All of a sudden they're like their kids are 12, 15 years old, going, Hey, I love that communism. And you're like, What? But it's too late. It's too late because it's in there. It's like a fucking virus.

Once it's in there, yo, you're not going to eradicate it. You may not be able to eradicate it without eradicating the host, and that means you'd have to kill your kids. And a lot of people aren't willing to do that. Well, I don't know if you want to go that far. I mean, that's a little bit of an extreme view, but we'll see, as this is called, a speaking with hyperbole. Is that what it is? I think so.

It was like our buddy Larry from that Larry show and and Rage King with the the he got thrown off of X for saying that politicians should, you know, have their heads on post and be dragged through the streets. And I'm like, well, wait, I thought X was free speech platform, but I guess not. I mean, to be fair, he was he was kicked off of Twitter right before it turned into act. So maybe X has gotten but it was after Illinois era that'd be pretty much the same.

The problem is the problem with all this stuff is you can't call for politicians heads to be on stick. So if you actually want to say that, what you need to say is if this keeps up some people are going to put those politicians heads on sticks. So you're not you're not inciting violence, right? You're not saying they you're predicting that violence may happen if things don't change. Yes, it's a subtle difference, but it's one that the censors like. We're news just breaking here.

Derek Chauvin, the police officer involved with the George Floyd case, is taking his appeal since Minnesota's top court denied to even hear his petition going to the United States Supreme Court. This should be interesting. Oh, boy. The summer of love coming up. There should be interesting. Imagine the Supreme Court overturning this one.

Yeah, I think they're going to do the same thing that the Supreme Court did as well and just say, you know what, I don't want to do that, but someone's going to have to sacrifice. So and just to make things not get down. I mean, I always figured he was going to have to decide no, he was going to be suicide. That was a guess. Mm hmm. The fact that he's still alive. Surprising. It is a little bit surprising. Mm hmm.

And I was always of the mind that this was something that would be overturned because the case was shoddy at best when it came to the facts. Yeah, it's very hard without a reasonable doubt, which is one of the things you have to be when it comes to a murder charge. You convict somebody when the toxicology reports say the guy ingested enough fentanyl to kill him.

Yeah. So, of course, you know, that's I mean, you can't even if he did do it, that you add that into the mix here like but that that gives me reasonable doubt. I don't know. I guess reason is different for everybody else now and that's because again they believe what they want to believe. Yeah, I think he's definitely guilty of manslaughter. Yeah, he was involved.

Yeah, he, he there were points in time where had he not done his actions that maybe they would have called an ambulance sooner or something. You know, it's like the he's involved, but is he a murderer? Didn't look like it to me. And the other interesting thing, when it comes to a suspect that says I can't breathe, well, you should that seriously as a first responder. But I also understand that this could quickly become the thing that everybody does.

Makes you go through the song and dance like I can't. Well, it should be something everybody does. Yeah. And the fact that he was saying that before they even got him on the ground and that was suspicious. Yes. But I also don't really understand. I mean, I haven't, like, seen the videos for a long time now, but it seems like they have him in the cop car before they put him on the ground. They did. What what what would make you take him out of the copter?

He was saying he couldn't breathe. He was comply. Why would you take him out of the cop car if he can't breathe? I don't know. It makes no sense. I would agree. If you want to crack the window. Crack the window. But don't take him out of the cop car. He wasn't even in the hot day. I mean, I can see. And there was a lawsuit here in Texas a number of years back about somebody that was put in the back of a cop car for being black. You know, and that does happen. It happens.

And just kept there for half an hour and then let go like that happens. That's wrong. Shouldn't happen. The guy won this lawsuit. But if if somebody is sitting in the cop car and it's not 110 degrees and the windows are closed and the engines not running, then leave him in the damn cop car. Yeah. I don't know if they figure they were trying to get him out in a better position, I don't know, because seemed like he was claustrophobic or something.

But again, you're going to have to bring him in. So. Yeah. Tough. So whatever, right? Getting him out of the car to have to get him back in unless you were car back to the car is a is a mini jail. Yeah. So if somebody says I can't breathe in this mini jail, I mean unless you want to bring a bigger jail to put a man right there, I wouldn't matter. Leave in there. But I can't even imagine. We saw what happened after the Supreme Court on abortion. The ruling.

This would I think you have riots again on the street. That's why I said the Supreme Court's not going to touch it. It's going to be interesting to watch. They're not going to. They have more important cases to deal with. And oh, yeah, there's all those indictments. I don't think the justices need to have protesters firebombing their homes. Well, the fact is, especially with the Biden code, the fact the Biden administration not willing to provide any kind of safety

for them. Yeah. The fact that the vehemence, the vigor in which they're going after people that were at the Capitol on January six but have not arrested one person, have not they may have arrested, but they did not convict anybody that went to the Supreme Court justices homes. No. Which is I don't think they've convicted anybody of for the Summer of Love either. It's like you can't. Yeah, well, if you if we agree with your politics, we're going to let you do whatever the hell you want.

And I will say this is where I think my stance differs somewhat from the conservatives out there is, I believe, in the Old Testament. I believe in an eye for an eye, in the teeth, for a tooth. And so, well, there has to there's some kind of repercussion If we're living in a banana republic, I wouldn't be surprised if there are some people on the conservative side that just decide the safe bucket. We're going to use their tactics. Well, that's what people have been calling for for a long time.

It's like, well, if they're going to keep doing it, we may as well do the same thing. Well, but it's been you know, it's been a toothless warning. Well, that's because yeah, they haven't had the I'm not going to say guts because I mean it doesn't take guts to be the cowards that the people on the left do. They go in and intimidate people and use violence as the way to do so. But they I guess maybe they haven't been willing to get their hands dirty in there at some point.

Well, there's nothing wrong with violence if it's in defense of freedom. Yeah, well, yeah. The tree. What's the. Who said the Tree of Liberty is Jefferson? Yeah. Fueled by the blood of patriots. Yeah. Patriot and despot. Yeah. Yep. Basically saying that we just had a revolution. Guys don't think this is the one and only you're going to have. You're going to need to refresh your government on a regular basis because we have the government and the people are supposed to be able to have a say.

And that's the one thing that seems to be getting further and further down the line. And we know that I'm sure there were some people that were disconnected from reality back in the 1700s, but overall, people were very concerned about politics. They were very concerned about what was going on with the people that were in charge of them, that were ruling them, that were in their government.

Now, everybody just wants to pretend that, well, not everybody, but there is a high percentage in the United States that basically just wants to pretend that the government doesn't exist. They don't want to know anything about it. They don't want it, they don't vote.

They don't pay attention, and they don't understand then how politics is related to the bill they have when they go to the grocery store, the bill that they have when they go and try to fill with gas, if they even can, because it's going to be electric vehicles only, are they going to be like, wait, what is this all about? It's like, well, it's because you weren't paying attention. It's yeah, and then it's pretty damn easy to ration that shit. It is insane. But they could do it remotely.

They don't need to do it physically. That's like, Oh, your house only gets electricity for 4 hours a day. Now it's the new thing because we have to just watch California. California is the canary here. They're get all of these programs are moving in that direction. Everybody's like, oh, don't worry about the smart meters. No, you're just being paranoid. It's like, really? Are you not paying attention? Mm hmm.

I know I've mentioned this before, but now that more and more vehicles are going electric, what comes out? Oh, you know what? The tires actually put off more bad stuff into the air than the gasoline engine. I'm like, This is never going to stop. This is not about the planet. It is about your freedoms and what you can do. Being able to easily move around the country. Just think about it. If everything goes electric, you can't really drive anywhere near as far as you used to.

You don't have the freedom that you used to. They keep pushing you in that direction of, Oh, we're going to the new thing is, Well, you know, Jean, the government was making a lot of money on these taxes that were collected when people bought gasoline. And now, you know what the? Funny thing is, now that the vehicles are electric, we're not collecting those taxes. I mean, you can still tax electricity, but no, no, no. We're going to start charging you by the mile you drive.

If you drive too much, it's like, well, wait, this is not this is not freedom. Oh, we're going to keep charging you. Oh, you want to drive inside of a city like L.A. or New York or Chicago? Well, no, either they're not going to let you do it at all or they're going to charge you a fee to drive it.

And it's like, you know, this is not there have already been some cases where courts have overturned these things because it's absolutely insane to be like, well, no, you want to drive into downtown New York, that's going to be 20 bucks. It's like you can't do that. But this is where they want to go with it. They want to it's this concept of what do they call it, the 15 minute cities where you should be able to walk to pretty much anything they wanted that you want.

It's like, I don't know. I'm nowhere near that. Where we live. I feel like I'm just sitting here listening to random thoughts. What's a great show? I didn't do one this week. Maybe I should just cut this up. It's kind of sounds like you're you're anxious to in put this out in the middle of this podcast. Yeah. Just when I'm all for it. I mean, if I was disagreeing with any of the shit I did, I'd say something.

But I honestly live and let yourself be realized because, I mean, we started to agree too much too. This is not a bad thing. What's going on? I don't know. I know, right? You're absolutely wrong. Oh, man, I don't know about what, But you are. You're absolutely wrong. Yeah. No breaking taxation is theft. This is also true. So according to the EIA, you do a bunch of shows like Grumpy Old Man's Planet Rage, No Agenda and Random thoughts. I wish I didn't know Agenda.

I'm waiting for that opening, huh? Well, I'd love to see Unrelenting Bee listed, which it's not. How did you manage to pull that off? Where? On the air? A summary of who is there. No, Neil, really, it doesn't show yet how to still under one thing here. I don't understand everything that I don't men's planet race no agenda and random thoughts in the air things I'm on no agenda is is it producing this. Is this. Yeah this these are a number of shows that you host.

Clearly you're out no agenda like a half hour an hour before it starts every day. Wow. I need to get cut in on that. No agenda. So, I mean, we're I didn't know. Did I take over for Dvorak? When is this happening? Is this a total of 641 episodes? Really? If no agenda? No. In total Interesting of podcast entry, which is Neil's podcasts are known for their honesty of please really wait, which is I'm liking this emails. Podcasts are known for their honesty, openness and truthfulness.

This is exactly what we are known for. Also produced and covered art for no agenda and abs and six pack abs in a six pack. That's a I mean, I was on that show. I don't think I ever did art for him, but maybe he'll is currently hosting the Man Cave Confidential podcast with FDA. Sure. Wow. That was way before any of these shows. Uh huh, yeah. So there you go. Once again, I get screwed. That was a short run, but interesting.

I still have that domain, I think, which I thought was a decent name, but I guess think a domain. You know, guys just talking about gay things, which is kind of like unrelenting with slightly different bent. Well, no, I mean, we're not that guy on guy thing. That's a that's that's different. That's a guy that's your domain is guy and guy. Oh, okay. So if I have that I which is bad, I could sell that for you could probably sell if I were a pretty penny.

Yeah. I have socks I think it's socks talked to. But unfortunately the White Sox and red socks both suck so bad that I don't think anybody wants that. I've got a few of those domains out there, but I don't know. I there's also a guy named Darren O'Neil that has a podcast, an Australian bicycle D that is not me, although you have an Australian bicycle, didn't you? Don't you get rid of it. Yeah. They didn't make it, by the way. I could just be hallucinating but which air is this.

This is the brave I Oh, interesting. Interesting is the Bravia my go to. But it had all of t it's very interesting because the man Cave confidential show ended like seven years ago or so. That wasn't right. Well, sports. Yeah. So we see the eyes are down on the radio based web designer and developer do their own podcast like Grumpy old bands buy rather than the bucks total of 641 episodes going topics such as Record Store Day. Well, see, this is also true.

I've covered record day. Yeah. The Biden administration's lefty mentality. Susan Rice jumping ship, Tucker Carlson being fired at Fox and more. See, I'm known for the honesty, openness and truthfulness. Unlike. Yeah. Gene and and Ryan. That's huh You guys are the opposite side of the coin. So that's why it works so well. Is it? What if you put in your name? Does it say, was it a biologist? Now my name is Dan. I see you paid the names to wait. Your name's not on the Internet?

Yes, I paid lots of money to have it removed. That's a long title, but it could be a great show. Title? Mm. My name's not on the Internet. It's like. Sure. Dislike Dvorak doesn't get any spam. Well, you know, if he doesn't check his email, how does he know if he gets spam? I guess it's like if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it. Brian. Brian. Brian Bumrah's known for his but angry tech news, traveling independent. What about independence? Yeah, I guess she's struggling. Yeah.

I don't know. I don't understand Ryan badmouthing the whole 936 episodes. 936. Well, he's got more than me. Yeah, he does. How did you do that? Memory? I was a host of Grumpy Old bands Guest and bowl after bowl and high story and program director and no agenda stream stream.

If you don't put the stream part this no agenda program director that is a hell of a yeah they gave him a big old um that she should get a raise with that because based on grumpy old man spy death program director and dude named Ben the no agenda stream, I mean that is definitely an upgrade adding up in pay there. If you go from the guy that's producing the no agenda stream to the guy producing no agenda.

Of course now when they're looking for somebody to put behind bars for the No Agenda show, it's not going to be the talent. It's going to be the producer. Well, I'm sure the producer is the first to get thrown overboard. Yeah. So you better watch out, Bumrah's. You know, he's you know, this is worried about losing his job. I'm sure the Justice Department's like that. We just looked at being so that we're we're going to arrest you. Is that what being a I said, okay, so I did mine here.

And and you are the author of Podcast Strategies, our podcast 21 Questions Answered. It's amazing to come up to work for podcasting is my book on podcasting. Yeah. Published in 2013, the best book on podcasting you could have bought a decade ago now, Probably not so useful. Probably now, probably not. But it was a book and had a podcast, which is a you know what I mean? It's clearly my expertise. Well, I don't know. People say you don't sound good. So that would be that would be a problem.

Need to check their ears. Step one by a microphone. Step two So I am thinking of moving the multi to the Mac before the next show. Oh, that. You might be interesting. Interesting thing. Yeah, I would think that would be fairly painless, but yeah. Yeah, I think so. It would be, it would give my Mac something to do for one. Well yeah. And it's got the horse mostly. Mostly she has M to monthly. Does nothing. It's like I got all this horsepower.

I'm ready to rock and roll and you're like, Well, because you live and play games and there. What do you do when the Mac Yeah, I surf the web. That's a little overkill, you know, a little bit. But I mean, now I got to be worried about them three and then what am I going to do with that? With the M two or with the M three that you'll get is won't have anything to do with. Exactly. I mean, I thought you would have had a stack of video cards just waiting to go out the door.

You don't upgrade that. I know. What's that? Yeah. So you text me, it's like, hey, what kind of video cards you got that you can send me? Got any old video cards? And you're like, Nothing new. I'm like, Yeah, yeah. And you're like, Well, I just yeah, I want some old stuff, like a 30, 90 or something. So you got any of those? Like, I need a few, a few of those I can put in run some stable the fusion locally. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. That's what I need. Uh, yeah.

Well take your podcast earnings and go forth and spend. Got a can. Actually. Before you do that, don't forget to send me my cut, which you always seem to forget. I used to send you money. I got to do that this weekend. I Yeah. Because we did have one of our listeners for Planet Rage and Grumpy Old Bad. You know those other two shows I do now sent in a show number donation for both. So that was 288 for Grumpy Old Benz and 88 I think for a planet Rage, but obviously no 79 for unrelenting.

So I guess Brian Schneck from the wonderful state of Wisconsin maybe doesn't listen to this show or he thinks that, you know, you're bad. I mean, now to be fair, our buddy comic strip blogger pointed out that your node is once again not working. So all donations being that really? Yeah, all donations being sent via the satoshis half of those will only go through and that will be my half. So you want to feel like you're supporting Gene, but not you can send in some this sentiment.

Yeah. Yeah. Right. I'll be like, Gene, I sent you. What do you mean you didn't get them? And the. I don't know. It's this crazy gift that I actually have, like 20 bucks a month for that stupid node, and I have a free thing. Loses me money. Yeah, constantly. I probably should get a free one. The B one is nice. It just works. And I really need to separate those because that is the only downside is when I'm getting boosts and I love getting the boost, but I get them.

Yeah, you mentioned I got was on July three and when you get boost for all sites sorts of different shows it is a pain in the ass to try to separate those per show. Well why didn't you just set up a node per show? They're free, right? Yeah, they are. But then it's like, well then I have to consolidate them in that also. Oh, my God. Yeah. After we. Well, you know, I always go the least. The least work intensive, at least working for you.

And then you wait until it becomes a pain in the s because for a long time it was like, okay, I'm getting like $6 a month, so why put any work into it? But then, then some real Satoshi money start coming in. So really boost, boost, boost right now. Boost it boosted boost it big Come on. And you got to get the you got to get those numbers understand why the hell this thing would be going down I mean I don't get any messages, but it's like it's supposed to be running.

They're still taking your $20 a month to have these, so they're happily doing that. Yeah. And like I said, at this point, I think I'm only about 300 bucks in the whole for the whole totally thing. You're still in the wrong side of that. Yeah. Unless I get like 20 bucks worth the month that I will be. But I've never gotten 20 bucks the month and the, the crypto needs to start going back up man. It's been kind of stagnant lately. F 29 too.

I'd like to bring that way, way, way up and then cash in and then get out. And then with a crash, the I'm serious running. All right, send some, some creative number like one, two, three or something and see if it shows up here. Not everybody want to do I have to boost Do I have to do it myself? Yeah, sure. Well, you could do it. Oh, my God. 123 Satoshi is going to tell you what he can do. I just wanna see if it's working or not. That says it's working. The three suing. It says it's receiving.

But I don't know if I believe that we just fucking see Brooklyn just boosted. 3333 Thank you. See Brooklyn? All right, let's see what we get. Yeah, we get anything. We are the Seinfeld of podcasts. Mm hmm. It showed. Well, apparently. Now where the where the diagnostics podcast of where? Yeah, we're trying to help out the podcasting 2.0. Folks, make sure your nodes are working. We're getting Gene's Apple two system set up. It's going to be a lion to be flyin, huh? What's the incoming?

Yeah, a few seconds ago, I got it here in Alby. I got. I just got 1650. Yeah, that's it. That's what I got. It's work at major nodes because it is working. It is. So what the hell? I didn't do it. All I did was log in. I didn't click on any buttons, the reset, anything. I just literally logged in here. I believe. That's weird. Yeah. Hey, if someone's got a channel that I should like, connect to for better throughput ability or whatever, let me know you all I have.

I mean, that's the other thing is I think my channels probably aren't very good. That could be CSB was sending his total of 8012. It looks like CSB. Send me your your channel address. I'll just connect directly to you. How's that? That would be good, because he showed success for me, success for podcast index, success for boost bottom, Surging error.

Yeah, I mean, I can literally just open up a channel directly with them and I do not mind the podcast index getting 1%, don't get me wrong, but they are not in our splits. How does that magically happen unless it was sent through the podcast index? How does the podcast going to be the other way? Wouldn't be the other way around. I'm just Why no, you could do that if you log into the podcast index and then you can boost from it.

Yeah, but I just want to know how does the how does that 1% I know if you don't cover them Dave, who knows who's like really knows the index. Well, if I need to talk to somebody and I've asked Dave a couple of times and he's been busy, so I'm like, okay, whatever the, the Alex Alex Gates. I think that was the landscape. Okay, I'll reach out to Alex TSB knows a decent amount it would appear. Yeah. Yeah. But he doesn't want to talk.

Well, he does it because you're Russian bad now and I am not sending again. No, I. You, you do not get to my money. No. Just tell people to speed that along. Well, now that it works, it all works out. See Brooklyn. Nice for the boast. We appreciate that. For testing purposes only. Yeah, for testing purposes. That was not what we needed. I think what we need is a boost of a 1 million Satoshi boost just to test the larger the large boost stability factor as so somebody could boost a million.

That would be good. Yeah. What is that like 12 but a million today? No, a million is a decent amount. A million is about 300 bucks. 300 bucks. Yeah. Which is. Yeah. Yeah. I mean I would take it, I would take it and run. Do I need a mac mini. That's my question. I don't know. I don't know either. I mean, I feel like I do, but I am. I'm feel like I'm getting a suntan from every direction here. I got monitors and three monitors to the left of me. Three monitors in front of me.

And I'm on the right of me. I've only got three total. I need more. I just use these for tanning purposes, I guess. Well, if you turn them on the right wavelength, you could probably do that. Oh, yeah, I think it probably did. Yeah. Cause the.

Well, natively the LEDs put out ultraviolet and then they're the ultraviolet actually fights the faster and then that converts that to visible light though, I mean, cause, you know, like, like Ryan Ben Rose who was on Windows eight I basis still I am on Windows ten still I don't like 11. I don't like how ingrained the oh, you need a microsoft account. And I know there are still ways around this stuff, but Microsoft is going in a direction that I'm not thrilled with.

So I'm like, yeah, I'm content as well because 11 is not really optimized for games. So I'm like, well, I mean, I don't play games. I do if most really 90% of what I do is the Adobe suite, it is recording audio, occasionally editing a little video, playing around in Photoshop. And I think the the new Mac chip does really well with that because Adobe optimizes everything for Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well and games will be coming to the Mac very soon because both Unreal and Unity have said that they are going to do native compiles using the m-series of chip and check for a new boost. SB boosted another 3333 so maybe it's just coming from ISA core MA again, it's a Polish stuff from Mac which he doesn't have a lightning node. He says he just uses app from fountain so he doesn't even have a node that's from Fountain. Okay. Yeah, that fountain is lower.

So I can't remember who the developer fountain is, but I think I've talked to him. Well, you've talked to, like, all of these folks when this was. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I did a whole series of, like 13, 14 interviews over on surging speakers that nobody listens to. Maybe we should post them over here. I'm unrelenting in that way. People would listen to them. Well, if we're going to do that, it should be posted on random thoughts. So it's even better that way.

I would have to know the the pre-show. The pre-show what? Pre-Show? You know, the pre-show. No agenda. Oh, the No Agenda pre-show. The rock and roll pre-show. The pre-show. Yeah. You want to. I mean, here's the thing. You could run segments on there that would be good. 2 hours before the show the other day, when I started on Thursday, it was already like 115 people. The the show started. There was hundreds. By the second hour, I'm like, Can you imagine if I start playing Jean doing interviews?

The numbers would drop off like boom, boom, boom. You would hear people turn it off their computers exactly like, what's this? This say rock and roll? No, no, it's it's well, I mean, it's cool now that you've got it set up to actually send Satoshis to the copyright holders. That's very cool. If you can find them, then it's not that hard to find them. I just it all over to to void. And then that's all that matters. Everything's taken care of in the Netherlands. That's where we are incorporated.

Get that back where you are. You're incorporated in the Netherlands. Yeah. It's just a shadow company and the paperwork doesn't hold up. Sounds very legitimate to me. I don't know, man. It's a totally legitimate business. Mm. Did you get the boost from CSB? He didn't. He would have if you had your Mac up and running because he likes the Apple stuff. Well, it's better. I mean, it maybe it may be for the few things that I do. I mean, I can for surfing the web. It is by far better. Oh, my.

My Irish brand is out of stock. Oh, you're doing your grocery shopping as well. Mm hmm. Well, you got to mean everybody sent in a boost for Jean. He needs to buy some bread. Oh, they didn't give me my free sushi's a nigiri. Oh, what the hell? That's bullshit. Oh, you know, it's such bullshit when the free item is the one that's out of stock. The free sushi. Because, yeah, often I am pelted with sushi. I don't understand. This is your local grocer. Yeah. And what do you get? What is this?

What is the promotion? To get free sushi. Buy a second sushi. Oh, so it's buy one. Get one free. Well, not really. It's not even that good. It's like you buy a real sushi like degree, and then you get one of their their new sort of. I know. Know you in. It's a sushi hot packet. Well, see that one. Sushi does not sound good to me. Adding it to a hot pocket is that is not selling it. It's made of rice. So it's like a rice out. Bake it. But hey everybody, it's not really hot.

It's more like their rice called back. Sponsored by sponsored by a sushi called packet. Yeah, no packet domains available. Both packet on someone. It says Mary Oscar, your app is getting error when sending stats to Darren O'Neal. Get al b but fails when sending to hosted lightning node of Jean. Any idea why so yes that's still failing from CSB tried to get to to you.

Yeah that is interesting because I think that it's it's got to be the path then because obviously I got the the one that came in from this other guy and he is reaching out to the the guy that does the app. So we'll find out what that error is all about. Yeah, I mean I can tell you and I'm sure if I have more channels running, it'd be better. I also believe that maybe Fountain has canceled you. That could be. Yeah, my fountain. Yeah. You may be shadow banned on fountain.

Be anybody else on fountain out there that can send a although you do a test. Yeah because see Brooklyn was on pod verse I've got pod versus Yeah. Any other news out there. If you send a big boost there's a really good chance jeans not going to get his half That's got to make you feel good. Mm. Try that now you got to boost it mean it doesn't have to be live during the show. You could try this. Well you know, you could try to buddy I don't have fountain. Oh you know your phone.

No I only use adverse not or you could try that one to is that were what it did. That's where Brooklyn came in. Uh huh yeah. This came through to you. Well, let's see if it works from Chicago to if it's like we want you send in. Let's see. Yeah. Unrelenting. I understand the risks. I mean, that's always the best thing when people are sending a boast. I understand the risk. I like to go into the app, change that to zero because I'm a dick. Mm. Let's see. Do I need to have a optional message?

Let's see. And then I will send in some satoshis and then both. Yeah. This is definitely turned into diagnostics error. Well, while you're doing that, let me think. See what else is going on, if anything, in the world. Well, General Carter died. Well, yeah, we started off with that. I know we never really got we never really got further into it. Beyond. General Carter died. Well, she died. I mean, what else is there to say? I think she's pretty good singer. I sent you a Danny Boy.

A link to Danny boy that she did a acapella and I'm trying to send. And it's easy staying in tune when singing acapella. In fact, most pop stars can't do it. And this thing seems to be crapping out on part of this. Hmm. Interesting. That could be the problem. It was the small part of it was kind of like it's the 133 SATs going to something now. Mm. Although I didn't see the boost back get anything here.

It's just keeps on sitting there and it's running and it's Sure you didn't just replace the, the link for the address that just there. No Neil and No no podcast index, no gym. No, no. I mean I went in to plot verse and I pulled up unrelenting. Hmm. There we go. Now the boost bad. Got it. You. So you should see if you get your part, see if it came in here or not with a great message attached to it. I don't get messages. Oh yeah. 1649 C Russian apologist.

Hmm. So I'll, I'll do the accounting, I'll take that out or cut or that's at least that's what like $0.13. Something like that at least. Yeah. And we got to be we got to be clear, we don't want the IRS to be questioning us. Well, then you should send me my card, which I haven't seen since last year. Yes, I will you some since last year. But I need your Social Security number so I can send you a tax form. Yes, Yes, do that. I mean, I have Beemer as a Social Security number. It's a business man.

If you want to get paid. If you want to get paid over 600 bucks a year, baby. You mean there's that much you've been withholding? Holy shit. I probably not. Not for that from this show, although. Right. Would that be with Dale? Maybe that may be what you say. You got 1500 SATs? Yeah, that's something like that. 1500 is $0.44. So you're welcome to use that to get yourself some free sushi. There you go. That's my free sushi. Yeah. I mean, okay, so you're in. You're in the the hipster area.

Does Austin do the grocery stores allow you to pay with lightning? I mean, is this a weed? Come on. Where are they? Are they. They don't do lightning, but I don't do bitcoin. Well, which is almost the same. It's a subset of it. I guess you would have to convert the lightning to the bitcoin.

It's a different transport is the biggest thing is the Lightning Network is the network that Bitcoin and that's what all of us are using for this stuff, but they're not using the Lightning Network and the point they're using something else like straight the Reverend Dr. Fifer just boosted 3333 via curio. Caster says, Oh shit, it's working now. So sees that Gene got the money that that's backfiring on you right there? Well, I don't know if I got the money.

I mean, out of 1650, I didn't get the money. Thank you. Yeah. So he's the only one? No. I wonder if there's a there a black component that's up there. Oh, that's interesting as well. Although this also was not from the Fountain app. And so it could just be a fountain again. You may be shadow banned and foul. I'm wouldn't put it past them Shadow band on fountain is a good show title too along with not on the internet.

Jesus I wonder if there's a way to just like see if you can reach and know without sending money. No, that's the beauty of it. Hmm. I don't know if I know it's sitting in a WC, so it should totally be reachable for everybody. Now it's depending on. I know there were issues with how much liquidity you have with if the boost were bigger, that would be the the problem made up. Because for a while membros can only get like really small boosts.

But if you tried to send anything of substance, it error it out because the it didn't have the backing or whatever. I know you got to like put money in to be able to flow money through other channels. I have no idea how that works though. Yeah, I know you don't though. I can see right now just flow over a million set allegedly. That's what the my channels open for. Open that channel up, open it wide so I can send the million or receive a million. That's where the limit is right now.

As long as we are in this portion of the show, I do want to thank who wants to send me a million and a half tips that I mean, I could, but then that wouldn't I would. I would want it back. Kevin Cipher came in with $5 via PayPal. That's the only PayPal so far this week. Mm hmm. Good. Good. No, it's not good. People should not be doing anything. I think you're doing value for value wrong. It's not a value for value thing. I'm just a realist.

And I know the world we live in and people have better use for their money than sending it to podcasters, not comic strip blogger. He sent in 8015 for the show. Blogger doesn't don't the comic strip blogger is buying advertising is. Yeah. That's why you mention his website. Yeah. But he's also listening. So here's an intro that's hard for show for him. But yeah, but he unlike everybody else, he's just sending money. He's actually promoting his trailer, which is fine.

I don't have a problem with that. I think that the if it works for him and he continues to do it, more power to him. He wants you to see his doodles. It's it's a pretty good I mean I will say as an unsolicited unpaid for well yeah because you didn't get your cut so I mean this is my curry. Exactly. And no, I looked through there pretty regularly cause he does have some now.

He also has some pretty crappy ones, but he does have some really funny ones then I think is and I think he's using more a techniques there as well, but that helps you pump out more material. Yeah. Yeah. Which is great. I think nothing wrong with it at all. I think this is like air and Max Earth. Clearly they're both areas that we agree on. I may get rid of this windows machine. I what I maybe need to do, but yeah, you could do the doodles. Let's just do it. Let's do it from there.

But yes, I'll move my rig to the Mac and then you get rid of them when those backs will be running. Mac Only you're going to send me a brand new M2, Mac Mini or Mac? Well, I to do that like six months ago, you don't want to do it. So I said it, baby, send it now. That's not what you said. So. No, I thought so. W w w dats the lol go there now. There you go. There's a pay promotion right there. Yeah. That makes me a professional radio DJ.

Yeah, that's what you dreamed of growing up to be when you were a little, little tiny, six foot tall baby and got glam. Yeah. And then I found out what deejays get paid. Uh huh. And it was like, I want to be Johnny Fever. Yeah, well, it's Johnny Fever. And I remember watching that as a kid.

But mainly I wanted to be Jonathan Brand buyer, who while played a little bit of music, it was the combination of the bits, I mean, it was funny stuff but a lot of things you can't get away with now when it comes I mean it was the morning radio, but it was not a morning zoo. It was just humor, you know, They would do funny things. The shove it line was always great. You know, people call in and then tell their bosses why they wanted to quit.

It's like, of course, that might now actually get you to be fired because you can't tell your boss off that that's you people be triggered. But he did a bit that I still think was the funniest thing I have ever when it comes to any kind of comedy. And this was you remember the Joe Pesci movie that was seven heads in a duffel bag? Mm hmm. Well, I guess they sent Johnny one of the heads, and it looked like a realistic hat. So he put it in a duffel bag.

Or maybe it was in the duffel bag it came with. I don't remember. But he goes out on the street with a cell phone and he's sitting in the back of a cab while he's got the radio station on the phone. And he's doing the the Mafioso thing like, Nope, no, it's done now. It's done. And he's like, you know what? He's like, Sir, the cabbie. And he's, oh, he opens up the bag and he's like, Tell them what you see in there that I have.

He was like, Oh, the this was on Lakeshore Drive, I believe maybe Michigan Avenue, the cabbie stops, the car gets out and right to. Well, that was back in the day when there were actual mob hits happening. Yeah, well, this is true. This was back in the good old days. It was different kind of mob in Chicago. Yeah, exactly. It was the old school mob. And it was a racist kind of mob back in the day. It's just the heat that tried to convince the guy, you know, Sir? No, sir. This was.

It's a bit, though. This. Yeah, Yeah, it's there. You know, those those sort of candid camera type things. If they're not done right there, there could be danger, huh? Yeah, You could die because somebody there is a video I saw recently of a guy in oh, I think it was Home Depot or something like that. And they're doing a prank video and and there's this big black dude there and.

And he is talking on his phone, supposedly, Allegedly, the white dude he's doing the prank is and then he says the N-word. And obviously this is all done through listen in emotion or response and it will. And the black dude like turns and looked at him and then the guy keeps talking and more racist shit and the phone while he's walking around and Home Depot. Right. Finally the black guy does okay.

And then I can't remember what exactly he said, but but there's a fist that came up really quickly as well. And as soon as a fist came over, this guy's like, It's a break, It's break. It's a black guy. And the black dude's like, What did you say, motherfucker? It's a prank. There's a camera over there. Camera, right? Yeah. You you're on YouTube right now.

You know, it's like, dude, it's like it's it's the lowest form of humor, I think, because you're you're not bringing somebody in on the joke and order to make it funny. You're actually laughing at their expense. Yes, but this goes both ways. I saw a YouTube video and this was a whatever the proper terminology today. You know, for a little person. Yes, that would be a person of stature, slightly smaller than a first. Yes. And this was a black person like that?

Oh, well, no, it's normal person then. Oh, okay. He was out in a park and he's like, I lost my dog. I lost can you help me find my dog? And he goes, you know, of course, to a white guy to watch my dog. Can you help me? Yeah, call him. What's his name? And the black guy N-word. The. Yeah, yeah. See, there's that. Like, that's suspicious already because black people don't like dogs. I did not know this. Oh, yeah, It's a well-known fact. I don't. I don't think it is a well-known fact.

I everybody knows that I have not been on the Internet. Let me rephrase that. Dogs don't like black people. Wolves or dogs are racist. Neither totally racist. I know. Right now they're dicks. I thought people think cats are dicks, but a lot of dogs are dicks too. Uh huh, uh huh. Now snakes, I hear they just sleep all day. They sleep all brick in. They Exactly. It's like this going to be feeding time probably tomorrow. Ooh. If you get video of this, I've done the video of it.

It's really slow and boring. Well, then it would be perfect for no agenda social. It takes. Yeah, it takes easily 15 to 20 minutes from a rabbit. Oh well let's see now. A rabbit. That's a fairly. Well, what do you think they eat. I don't know. Mice. That's a little like appetizer. Like in a little moose. Bouchard. No, he couldn't even fit that in the mouth. That's too small. Too small leads up big. He eats £5 rabbit. I guess you said the thing's £120 now, So.

Yeah, it's like, well, what's every £120 weight? I don't know. I haven't met £120 in a long time. No, that's true, I mean he could be eaten pigs now. Little like piglets, but Bacon's good. I don't, I kind of feel he's grown up kosher and we're going to keep it that way. Oh, so it's a Jewish snake? Seriously, I did not know that. Well, see, you learn all these things. Yeah. Subtlety of snake religion. Yes, I did know. I did not know they were that much into that religion.

Oh, snakes are very religious animals. Yeah. I mean, I know you could do that in religion, the snake charmers. And that is. That is such bullshit. And CSB liked us talking about this stuff. So he says, Thank you so much, Kurama If he wants kids want me to say the Polish thing, but he sent some more stats. I don't know if you got him or not. Probably not, because you I think you've been troubling that because clearly his sets are not meant to be coming here now.

It could be it could be a blockade. I mean, they have to move to read. Is your wallet in Moscow or in Ukraine? My wallet is an Amazon in Dallas. Oh, whilst you that that's even more communist than the Moscow. You got to be careful. Uh huh. You got to be careful where your wallet is. This is the concept with all things are free when it comes to this lightning strike. There's still issues relying on it, relying on anything that is still in the in the beta phase is is not the greatest thing.

Although people will tell you you're doing the same thing when deal with pay pal or patriot because they could go yeah we heard your show and we don't really want to do business with you anymore. All right. So I mean, there's no good way, but you never know. Jean said cash support the show. Cash could still set this cash. Just go to unrelenting blankets or water. Yeah, we do take cash in $100 increments, especially directly to help you quit. Lying to people will take 20.

And if they do come into the P.O. box here in Illinois, Jean will never hear about that. So there's a part that probably now I'll be like, Oh, we didn't didn't get nothing here, Jean. That guy didn't send me $20,000 in cash and said, Share with Jean like, nope, do not know that, right? Dope. Yeah. I'm starting to rethink my whole idea of like, you, you producing the show and taking care of everything and me just coming on. Oh, want to do more work? I'm kind of starting to think like that was.

That was a bad play. I mean, the best thing to do is I realize you're not actually doing any work because you never edit the goddamn show. All you do is hit, start and stop. Well, I sweeten it. I run you through a beautiful filter. Yeah, I'm not sure that's helping me because I sound better on my own show. I don't think that. Well, then you're not sending the the boosted or added. I'm not sending anything. You're pulling the live stream. No deal.

But you could do a recording here and then sweetening them. Send it to your cue, baby, because I've got my IQ here. Yeah, except the Q you got for me, ain't the you. I go for me and mine Sounds better well, yeah, but if you said it it could, it would come through cued because if I turn off the IQ then all of a sudden they start sounding like this or like this. Yeah. Now that makes me sound way better. Let's do that. Yeah. How you doing, Gene? Welcome. I'm doing great. How are you?

You seem to have lost about a foot of height. Welcome to Unrelenting how you do it, everybody. What do you prefer your people be called these days? The leprechauns. I mean, that's the. We have a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow to worry about. And how did you manage to steal that pot of gold? That's what people would like to know. Oh, well, it's very easy because people are very gullible and they will just give you anything if you.

Wow. And have you have you gotten high tech in the current age with. Oh, yeah. Accepting satoshis as a leprechaun. Oh yeah. We take we go through Satoshis and then we call people and we tell them their computer has a virus and they need to send us their money quickly for us to be able to to fix that. But now do outsource that to India by chance. Of course. I mean, why would I want to do the work myself? Because I'm pretty sure I may have talked to one of your people.

This is what a sure Sam seven be sounds like without yeah the process like this is a great add right there for sure so this is like this is the sound of an s77b of these microphone. Any of the better dynamic microphones. It is all about the queuing. Yeah and yes CSB sends another 3333 C once he knows you're not getting the money right now the floodgates open up.

Yeah Uh huh So if this this must be found, I mean, hopefully somebody besides CSB with Fountain at some point can test this and let them know if. Yeah, cause I'm curious if it's a location thing or if it's just fountain, just that would be banned. It could be. They're like, Whoa, Gene. Yeah, we you know, I should just set up an account on that same TV free system you're using get MLB works and you can attach them to a live thing as well. So the they kind of can flow right through.

But that way if I can. Yeah. So if I set that up and then I won't, you can tweak this for this show and then I'll leave everything else on my end. The same for all my other. Then we'll see if there's money coming into the I'll be right. I mean this is how much you've been scamming me out of for all these years when it comes to any funding for podcasts that have multiple hosts, the real pain in the ass is how to do donations because.

They then need to be split up and people just think it's an easy thing. But no, I mean, when I was doing this, you know, a couple of years ago, Grumpy old Bens had a pretty good year and the guy that does my taxes is like, Well, you need to generate a tax form for Ryan Membros because otherwise you show this as income. And if you don't show this is being paid out, then I'm paying all the the taxes on it. So nobody that I know of has a system that will automatically like the lightning split.

And I don't think anybody and granted, I know there are other kind of problems with, you know, PayPal in the Patriot, but there's no service that's like, well you have a podcast with three people here, take money through us and we just send a third to everybody that doesn't exist that I know of. Well, it sounds like a good business app to me. It would be very helpful if that.

I mean, I don't know the I mean, of course, you're dealing with some major legalities because you're taking the money, you're processing the money. But it would really be helpful if people would think something like this is a viable business, We could maybe stick it up online called the Godly Laundry. That idea or something, if something a lot of that money. But, you know, even PayPal, who does this already where we, you know, take payments through them, You have a PayPal account.

I have a PayPal account. Why is there not something set up that says, hey, if this donation comes in? Yeah, just split into two different PayPal account? Yes, I think all kidding aside, that sounds like a good recommendation for somebody like a PayPal that already has the infrastructure. Yeah. And it would be awesome because let you create like a virtual address that does nothing but split amongst real accounts. Yes. And then there's no issues with, you know, like you

said, tax forms, because they do have already. Yes. And if you don't trust the person on the other side, you know, you're getting your money. But it would be so much easier from a tax standpoint. From a recordkeeping standpoint. Yeah, you just that's what I love about the lightning is that you just don't have to worry because although it does have the ones for you just don't seem to come in but otherwise you don't have to worry apparently anyway.

Otherwise it just splits it and it works and you don't have to issue at the end of the year. You go, Here's how much money I made you. You're just paying taxes for you. You're not worried about money coming in, money going out. But I'm really surprised that nobody has that feature as of yet where it's like, well, everybody needs an account.

So it doesn't matter if it's PayPal or Venmo or Cash app, but if everybody has an account, you're right, create a virtual account that is for, you know, unrelenting, that show. And then if somebody sends 100 bucks to that wall, 50 goes here, 50 goes there. Yeah, because it's like it's a virtual account because no bank is tied to it. It doesn't hold any money. It can be used to pay out. Right. It's strictly an incoming bucket that has a split. Yeah. Exactly.

Like having an email address that just forwards the two addresses. Except money. Yeah, exactly. So and this is the interesting thing, is that the lightning folks figured this out. The people doing this with the open source stuff, but not with real money yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's nothing it says PayPal couldn't keep their kind of very thing. You know they do they would still take it. It's not even like they're doing that much more work now. But here's the thing.

If PayPal's normally taking 3%, I would be happy to give them 5% to do this. Why? Be careful what you wish for. Well, I mean, again, I would pay a little bump, you know, or you pay a yearly fee or whatever. It'd be like, okay, if we want us to process splits, right? I understand that that might cause them a little more, you know, fees that would be associated with it. Not much, though, no, because you're still just taking the money and then there's no fee.

Like when I said you money, friends and family through PayPal, they don't make money on that. So they still have that bit of the business where they will allow you to move money without feeling that crap idea. But I've said it for a while.

I don't understand why they don't it or somebody else doesn't have this as a service, one of these credit card processors because, you know, there's a lot of people that have shared businesses why you couldn't just say, Well, I just want this split into two accounts rather than what? Or three, whatever it is. Yeah. And I mean, honestly, like for businesses that deal with real money now, $0.47, you can totally do that with your bank.

You can have an incoming bank account and then have the bank automatically split. Anything that comes into that account, into other accounts. So we just don't make enough to justify something like this. But if we were making enough, then we could certainly just do it. We'd have to basically both have an account in the same bank or several accounts, the same bank to do this? Yes. Then everything that comes in just gets routed.

Yeah. The more you learn here on the unrelenting show, sometimes it's information you don't need. Sometimes you're like, Wow, that was interesting. Those are the times you should boost. Rarely. Rarely, though, that's rare encounter. It's a different show. I don't think you should just listen to random thoughts, though. I think I did one during this episode, but apparently there was one last week. He did do this one.

Yeah, that was what I've been doing the last couple I've done on Friday, so I'm kind of due for another one this afternoon. Yeah. And I just need a better schedule. I really like the idea of recording them all in one day. I think we need to maybe convert like Monday. Told you this. I told you this a long time ago. It's like, Hey, well, let's just pick a day where you could do all your podcast. I know you're in for that.

So that would be like, Okay, Gene, to get in at 10 a.m., my time should be like 10 to 12 unrelenting. Go have lunch, come back. One, two, three. Do a planet rage, and then like 3 to 5 do grumpy all bad. So that way, bam, roses up. Let me get the whole week free. Yeah, it's a great deal. It might be a better deal, though. By the time I get to Bumrah's, I wouldn't even want to talk, which may be perfect for hours.

Well, yeah, I think tomorrow's without notice that actually, he's like, I'll take the middle. That's through the middle. What do you say? Yeah, he wants the midnight timeslot. But you're right. You know, this is something that I both Membros and I, when it comes to Grumpy old beds and I, I did it once out of 288 shows where I actually got up to go to the bathroom during the show.

It didn't say anything, but we're both of the of the type that one of us could fall asleep and the other one would go on for another 30, 40, 50 minutes before I'd be like, yeah, before it would even dawn on us that it's been quiet on other side for a while. Right. I could do it. She'd be like, Wait. Oh, the internet went out a half hour ago. Shit, I did notice that. Yeah. Something happened. Yeah, it's the way. Oh, it would be interesting to do that.

So you guys could probably just record your half of the show. Just send it to the other guy. So I'm just fine. Yeah, just. Well, the I can overlap the voices. Does he even need to? I mean, you know, I would the concept of doing that like the overnight show and taking calls, that would be an interesting podcast with the especially I think the biggest problem there is just the people that are going to call in are unpredictable. And sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't.

I know which is the beauty of it, but that's where shows on AM like radio relied on their producer. Oh yeah, you've got to be put in, be got to do the pre-interview. It's like, And what would you like to talk about they I think cuz I think the the moon is space. Okay sir it's not a topic we're going to discuss today but thanks bye. And people think why not. The great topic it is. You never know. That's the the unpredictable ness. Did you see the latest now?

I saw the flip flopping around where it was somebody on Joe Rogan's program. So what's wrong with what where the guy is saying, Hey, Joe, you know the US faked all those nuclear explosion movies and you've seen them like the 1950s movies about the house getting blown sideways by that, right? Awesome. Oh, yeah. Those are very. It's like you would think that if the camera was close enough to catch that, the camera would have been melted. Yeah. Yeah.

And that's what this guy says. You know, back then they, they, they weren't doing like video transmission. It's not like you could put a camera on the rocket right now and have it transmit video. Right. This would have been filmed so low a camera doesn't even shake a bit. It's recording a whole building getting blown sideways, and the camera has film running behind the glass lens. Think about that. And then they found other other elements in there.

Like there was a shop where the house is before the explosion. And then right as the explosions coming, there's a car parked right next to the house. It still hasn't moved. No, the car hasn't moved, but the house is being blown over. And it's like, well, how do a car get? So there is a once you start actually peeling back the onion and looking at this stuff, it's like, oh okay, okay, so this is all just propaganda movies. These are all fake, These are all miniatures.

They're were created to show the tremendous power of a nuclear explosion by the well, to scare the bejesus out of everybody. Mm hmm. Yeah, exactly. But mostly Russian. Well, yeah, because Russians are bad. Don't you know? This bad? That's right. That's right. Bad people. So it's a it's interesting. I've never paid attention, I guess enough to notice that stuff. But now that I've seen it, you can't unsee it. Well, you were just.

It's kind of like the steps on the moon, right, that have the wrong soul imprint. You're not supposed to look that close to things. Uh huh, exactly. Well, this again, for anybody that watches television shows that were the fifties or sixties, and you watch them now and you binge and you realize that somebody that's a recurring actor, that's in like every third or fourth show playing a completely different character, you're like, Oh, yeah, you you never pay that much attention to.

Them Yeah, well, you were never supposed to be fair. The TV back then was like 2:40 p.m.. Yeah, you did. Was that, that the you have that it wasn't two $0.40 It was 240 I uh huh, yeah. It was just god awful. And it's amazing to think of how much time we spend looking at super low resolution screens that were horrible for eyes, and now they're too big and they're too bright. The truth failed. But what's better than for 4K monitors surrounds you than nothing. Well, here's the thing.

The TV companies are like, Well, how are we going to keep selling shit? We need to keep getting better. And how are they going to do that? And what's that going to look like in ten years? 20 years? Well, that's good question, but I don't know, man. I think the if the price point goes down, the Apple VR thing is going to definitely make a big deal.

People, if people start getting used to the idea of just walking around doing their grocery shopping with those goggles on, that's going to be so weird. Yeah, because you'll have, you know, porn playing next to you and you don't even know it. Well, see, that's fine. But it's the people that are like using the enhanced reality. Yeah, but just imagine that kind of technology where it's like where it's like your journey out of Star Trek. Yeah, well, that doesn't want to be Geordi.

Geordi was awesome. You know, like, somebody looks at a tomato, they see a tomato. You look at a tomato, you're analyzing the infrared frequencies through the the chip in those goggles, and you're seeing like, Oh, somebody with three hands picked this up and moved it. I'm going to skip this one. I'll pick this other one, but it'll be the world. Remember that you'll be able to do the same thing that they do on TV shows. You'll be like Zoom Enhance, right?

Except that turnaround, the side of the wall. Right. X ray x ray vision. Yeah. X ray. Well, you'll be able to recreate a 3D modeling project from the other direction. Even better, though, remember the episode of Seinfeld? Of course you do. Where Elaine suggested that everybody in New York wear nametags, make it a friendlier city. Oh, yes. That was so stupid. Yeah, Well, what do you think this goggles will be able to do? Somebody? Oh, yeah. Have your name redirected there, huh?

So somebody you don't know walking down the street. Hey, what's up, Bob? Yeah, I mean, and of course, when they sell them in China, everyone's walking around with a credit score over their heads. Yes. Well, then, you know, so that we talk to, you know, ignore the women, will pay a little bit more to have the guys who are available, or at least rich pop up and they'll be like, Oh, you're somebody I would like to get to know because your wallet is big enough.

And then you got the, you know, people that are a little less desirable walking around and with a little sign that says future suicide, will there be a percentage above their head, like 90% possible suicide by next week? Yeah. Now, funny enough, Hillary Clinton said that shows the same thing. Well, that's everybody around her. Yeah it's just of said yeah, do not talk to Hillary Rudd the other day we should hear anything more about the guy that Obama had not killed in the South. I don't know.

I don't. They kind of came and went. It's like, Oh no, somebody found dead in the Bahamas. Like doesn't get something nice. Yeah, exactly. Fake podcast, Fake podcast, comedy podcast. Cavani podcast. Nothing to see here. Yeah, that you got to get them avoid those. I guess that's all it takes, right? I mean, you know, if there is a dead body of your employee that popped up like in your it happened, your house, your estate, sleek all the time. Happens all the time.

Yeah. The chef just not a big deal. Nope. Maybe Obama didn't like the meal. Who knows? Yeah. Then you got Biden's dogs attacking everybody. There could be a dog guy just from a dog attack. You never know. I tell you, the there's a couple of new games coming out soon. These are video games, I'm guessing, as we round out the part. Yes. Yeah, well, murder just made me think of them. Well, yeah, when you really want to get into the mind of a murderer, you got a video game? Yeah, something like that.

So one of them. And I know a lot of people appreciate me talking about video games because I get comments like that. One of them that people are very excited for is called Starfield. Okay, here's my first question. How many video games in the history of this planet have had star in the name? I'd say all video games. That's a silly question. Yes. If it's the. Yeah, Yeah, I guess so.

Starfield is from Bethesda, which is a pretty big famous game development studio, and they've been working on this for about six years. Seven years I guess. And it's finally coming out in September or October. Can't remember one of the other, but a very it's a game that's got a lot of buzz. What about happening it's a game where you play a future civilization director and the setting is a thousand different planets.

Well, that's a pretty big field and land down and do stuff and gather resources from them. Or some planets have big cities that you interact with. A lot of different characters on. Graphics look very pretty. And the feature I most looking forward to the most excited about is that it has a spaceship building or spaceship customization that you'll see so that create your own ride.

Yeah. So you can you start off with a small little dinky ride and then as you get make more in-game money, you can either purchase a new, bigger rides or you can just slap stuff onto your existing one and just slowly transform it.

Well, any of you have any of these, your body's gotten to the point where they will let the community, the players, create something and then sell it as part of the game, or they would just take a percentage like, Hey, Yoke Gene came up with a great idea, great plan for a spaceship. Will they let you sell anybody, let you sell your own creations, and then just don't want them to sell it? There are a of games already let you share stuff for free with other players.

So through like the steam marketplace or the steam community mods, basically where you can share spaceship designs like Kerbal has that, I've done that before. Also, there's a game called Imperium, which I really like, been around for a long time, but it's almost no one's ever played it. It's always surprising me how few people have played it. Experience and Kerbal are both games where you build your own spaceships and then you fly them around. Kerbal is extremely realistic.

Imperium is a lot more sci fi, but I love the idea of building stuff that you use in the game and it doesn't even have to be spaceships. You know, there's there are other games that let you you're building your podcast. Ragan You're selling it virtual. Well, I know, but do you want to build a game? That's to be an awful lot like reality to me. You ought to be a Starfield podcast or you have to buy a podcast rig first. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

But there's a game called Cross Out that lets you the setting is a mad Max kind of future world with, you know, for some reason plenty of gasoline, but not much of anything else. And so you in that game build your car from scratch and it's a mad max style car with lots of weapons and then you pit your car against other cars. And this sounds interesting. Yeah, it's a pretty fun game. You have a bit blackmail. You've been working too hard. You got to get back into the game.

I have been working a lot more recently, so that's why I'm not like, I don't have all these breaking news stories coming in with, Well, this is not a breaking news podcast. No, it's more of a Seinfeld of podcasting. It's just Jean and I get together once a week, which is really all we could stand each other and talking and, finding out what's going on. It's not a new show. It's not I could say it's not a video game show, but sometimes it is occasionally. Oh, have you taken any supplements?

We haven't mentioned health. I mean, the bingo cards are going to be like, Oh, Oh, shit. Yeah. People aren't getting help. I Nothing new. Nothing. You interesting? Interesting. Yeah, I've just. Yeah. Stay in the course of my stuff. Mm hmm. Yeah, it's pretty boring. So no bingo First on health, brother. There are no recommendations for a supplement this time. No, there's no. There was some grocery ordering, but you didn't talk about it much. Except for free sushi not being available.

Yeah, that is really first world problems, Jane. I know, right? Yeah. It's just. It's annoying when you're free. Sushi is not available, right? Bevers says every new game Jean gets addicted to. I played over dial up in the 1990s, which ones are you referring to? I don't know. We can't take him seriously unless he's on Grumpy Old beds. That's where he brings us a game show. Okay, all those BBC games. But now they're with better graphics. That's the one thing. Yeah.

The concept of a lot of these games is exactly the same as they used to be. Oh yeah. Yeah. Concepts sure, those are existed, but you have to use this thing called imagination, which doesn't exist anymore. He's right. He says. Trade wars, Yankee trader and Carmageddon. Oh, Carmageddon. They remember that now. Not quite the same thing, but I see what you mean and I have no name. Says Star Citizen was pre Alpha in the 1990s probably it's it's still out for today.

Yeah well you don't go Yeah and how do they even mention star citizen Because there's not a whole lot to mention there because we're in the perpetual waiting period for the next page which isn't going to have nearly as much stuff as they keep promising because things aren't ready. So this whole year going to be fairly minor in terms of Star Citizen, I think. But here I'll talk about. But stay tuned if you want to get a message about my food let's see where our sources are.

Oh, they're out in the movie. They're on their way here in 6 minutes, so I may have to drop off the air. You got to. Well, yeah, you got to get your food, man. Yeah, well, how's that for timing? That is the perfect timing. This is because we here at the Unrelenting podcast, our professional podcasters, we take our job seriously. Yeah, and that's why you should listen. So hopefully join us next week. Same unrelenting time, same unrelenting channel. Find out unless we move the show off of there.

Do everything right one week, one day, find out Will Gene's food arrive. What video will he be playing? Will his snake finally turn on him? Find out where often I pelted with free sushi.
