How you do it. I'm here from the Texas Clam. Hello and welcome to episode number 96 of Unrelenting. We are lighting our way. We are getting there to the century mark. We're right on time for the start. That's right. This show. Amazing how we just keep hitting it right on time. Every time I know it takes a highly trained professional brood to get all of this going.
And I want to thank everybody that helps produce this show from the lowest guy that's putting the gaffer tape on the microphones, keeping the lighting in the studio looking good, making sure all of these direct connections for the audio work, the gaffers, the fluffer is the best boys. You tell them all whatever you got going on this show, as many brought to you strictly by Dale from Down Under, exclusively from. You know what I am? I talked to a guy, my Australia guy.
You have an Australia guy. Does he know Dale? Well, I know, right. They all should. The country's about the size of Connecticut. It's very small. Yeah. I don't know. You think you could fit it? It's like Ireland makes it look like, wow, I guess we're going to work on trying to get me down there all. I mean, that was a penal colony at one time. Are you there? Like, we need to get Jeanne down here and never let them go?
Well, I've been there before, but we'll see if I can get some business going down there. I might just meet up with their own person bidness. Yeah, I know what that means. Totally legitimate business, man. One of those. Totally any any minor skirmishes, revolutions or any other engagements are purely coincidental. Have nothing to do with my trouble. Skirmishes. Revolutions are just people that need ponchos. I mean, you never know. Jean will go take care all of those of those necessities.
When bidness calls, Jean answers. Unless he's eating. That's right. I'm eating the banana. well, there you go. Case anyone's wondering, I'm getting my potassium for the week. For the week, you probably need more than one. I think this is my third one. well, okay. You've got plenty of potassium that I got up early today. So if you like mine, this is known as breakfast of too lazy to make breakfast. And there's bananas, there's banana. Here's the thing.
The last two bunches of bananas I ended up throwing away. I didn't get to them before they started going. Brown. Yeah. And so this time around, because they're so damn cheap, you can't in that order. Yeah, they're like $0.21 a banana. I think you're I don't know what that is, but they're like three bucks a month. So it's about right. It's kind of a no brainer. So I always get them. But the last several weeks I maybe eight one banana and through the rest of the month away.
Yeah, I tend to do that too. You have to remember you got a banana thing on your phone like banana. I know, right? And the problem is, a lot of these bananas have fruit flies that tag along with them. And so if you just check the bunch of brown bananas in the garbage, pretty soon you've got a fruit fly meaning colony going. And we don't have that issue here because of where you are now in the thirties. Yeah, the fruit flies don't like that cold weather. They stay south of the border.
Yeah. They're not visiting, you know, they're, they're tropical, you know, that's where the fruit grew. So this time around I get the bunch. I'm like, okay, I'm just eating like two bananas there. I don't care. Powering through if I'm not hungry, I'm not throwing another goddamned bunch of bananas up. I know you feel like it's wasteful wastefully. Another $0.28 a piece. I know. Yeah. If they could make fertilizer out of them or something, we can make banana bread. Even if they're really.
I mean, that's a beautiful thing about bananas. I'm not eat carbs, so banana bread is not really a good thing. But then as themselves aren't a great thing either now. But you know, this is them cheap, but they never really go bad. I mean, even when it's all brown and bushy, they probably aren't going to make that sick. Well, it's not a matter of making you think it's a matter of the tastier or not. Right. There are a way to do this, right.
If you're if you take a little bit of time and prep I've done this before. You could put bamboo skewers through peeled bananas and check them in your freezer. Ooh, banana bread here. And then you've got frozen banana on a stick. A and those definitely don't go bad. And then you could dip those in there. Chocolate stuff that hardens when it gets cold, which is all chocolate. But yes, well, this is true. Some of the chemicals make them even more into a shell like thing. Quickly.
Yes, we've got our freezer. I haven't plugged in yet. We did get our freezers, so I've got graduations. Yeah, we both have brand new freezers. That's awesome. Hisense, seven cubic foot. And I might have possibly that same brand I didn't really track with Brendan with the same size. It came during Grumpy Old Ben's. It was perfect. Perfect. well, that's that's how it's supposed to work. So here we go. We got a delivery. Yeah, delivery during a show. That's. That's wire. That never happens.
And it let. Right. Well, I was figuring it was probably not going to even show up, but it only took, like, 5 minutes. How long does it take somebody to get a package off the back of a truck and wheel it into a garage? Amazingly, not long. No. These guys are good at my game theory that, well, you've got a big guy. No, he's a little, little small Mexican guy. The freezer is bigger. And he was it's funny.
He just kind of wrestled it up on his back and bent over and brought it into my garage and dropped it off the. I had two big black dudes and they were smart enough to just use the two wheeler and just wheel it on in. I'm glad you used the word smart instead of lazy. That wouldn't have sounded good though. Yeah, well, that's smart. You don't want to overwork yourself. You have tools to do this. Like, why would you throw something that size and try to carry it?
Yeah, Unless he's the entourage, like a mr. Universe kind of thing. So it's. It's basically a large cooler with a chiller unit. Yes, exactly. Yeah, It's Styrofoam sided. And I know that because when I chuck the frozen rabbit into it, it dented it very quickly. And I was like, Shit. Okay, well, I'll have to remember not to chuck things in there. Yeah, be a little bit more careful. Our highly rated for up to 80. What I'm like, what do I do? I need a heavy duty extension cord.
Definitely not the only 80 watts and it least the heater and once it gets to the proper temperature and again right now outside it's 37. So my computer is a thousand. What exactly? That's the only thing I ever bought. The very expensive extension cord was for the little Vornado space heater that goes up to 1500 watts because. Yeah, you don't want. And next time just buy a computer, man. You sure that would just heat up the room just the same. Get a nice gaming desktop 1500 watt Perfect.
It's not really what you want, but the Vornado should be doing what it's generating. The heat is mining the crypto of my choice. That would be the way you've got one fan in that Vornado. I've got eight fans on my computer. Damn, that's even better. Heat dispersion. It's the whole top, the whole back and the whole front. Everything has fans got to keep it cool. Why aren't you liquid cooling? Putting this down in mineral oil cooled inside. and it's air cooled for the whole case.
I like the dude Linus that does all of the videos of the YouTubes. Yeah, Yeah, he's. He's funny, annoying kind of way. Yeah. One of his latest things, I think it's fairly recent screwdriver. No, the using in this new home running the liquid from his server room out into his swimming pool and back so it's like an ultimate water cooled experiment on if you can get the heat from inside in your server room and use it.
You want heat up the pool and also then cool down the the server room and it's a couple of degrees. It's doing better than I would have figured it would. So he's doing the the liquid between the whole room or between his computers? Both. But there's different little things that connect to the computers. But then there's a main system that runs it out, like the main cooling thing runs. It's kind of like a G taking your little liquid cool thing that fits in your computer and then make it huge.
No, that's interesting. Well, years ago, back when I had a record setting speed computer. that's true, man. you were like, number one dude for a while. I was not number one ever, but I was like, number seven in the non cryogenic. But yeah, I was I had a two horsepower refrigeration pump that was I can't remember how much how many times I had the liquid moved. But it was I want to say that it replaced all the liquid in the computer like three times a second. That's pretty impressive.
It was really high speed. So this was not like what currently is being sold as liquid, and I just have regular liquid filled in this current computer. You're like, it's just store bought for the. Yeah, just store bought like $180 cooler thingy. That system was just for the cooling aspect was over a thousand, but the full computer was seven grand when I built the well. I mean, but the spaceships which costed like 18 grand, made it worthwhile to get the computer for seven grand.
There were no spaceships back then. The game that I built the computer for was Battlefield 42, 1942, which was a first person shooter. That's back when I was young enough to have fast reflexes. Man. Yeah. Now you're just like, Can I automate this? Not Yeah. Now, you know, the game I was playing this week is it's that time of year. Is that world? The warships. Ooh. 1942 battleship simulator where every shot takes about 10 seconds. Is that fast?
Well, you tell me you have reflexes enough to click once every 10 seconds? Probably. Probably, yes. Okay, Well, you could play this game. And I happened to have an affiliate code that I will pass that lays out how you do it. Everybody, we're not. But one of the warships has a thing called they they have a little snowflake symbols on every ship you on that could trigger people that snowflakes, I guess.
And every time you win a battle or not every time, but the first time you win a battle in the ship that has a snowflake and snowflake gets removed after you win the battle, you get an in-game currency prize. All in-game currencies are steel and coal. And so as a purveyor of over 500 in-game ships, I have a lot of snowflakes around. Well, that's good. That means you're killing a lot of things. Well, I am killing a lot of things, that's for sure. But the.
it's kind of fun getting back to this game. It's a game that I used to play years ago. Like when came out seven years ago, eight years ago. And I played it for quite a while and I've talked about before the groups in that game are called Clans that refer to the right groups. Yeah, I'm in the Arctic Clan, That's a Texas clan. So it's the official Texas clan. Excuse thing, because there are a few different clans that are going on in that area. It's the only one I'm aware of.
And so I remember we were talking about going out to the battleship Texas, which sparked out of Houston, and somebody said, You get there, just let people know you're from the Texas clan. They'll go ahead and escort you like I bet they will. How you do it? I'm here from the Texas clan. Yeah. I'm meeting up with all the rest of Texas clan members here. Yeah, I could see this. Where you all gathering here? I could see this going poorly. Yeah. Fighting is asking know where to video game clan.
What else were you thinking, Racist? Yeah, that's. Those people go. They go right to the races. They sure do, don't they? There's there's a funny clip I saw of think I voiced Obama talking to Figueroa was a voice. The Trump and Trump's like, Hey, I. I've been trying to think of a new nickname for you. Obama Like I have Sleepy Joe for Sleepy Joe. And Obama's like, Wow, Well, what kind of nickname were you thinking? Like, Well, I'm trying to remember.
I thought of it this morning, you know, I forgot. They know that's us. And then and ends with an hour and you're one of those and gosh, what was that nickname again? And it goes on for several minutes of trying to guess what Obama's nickname is or what would trump the nickname Trump gave Obama. And you know, obviously with all kinds of innuendos in there, that's the only way to go. Yeah. Is you go and then, you know, don't be a racist. TRUMP it's not racist. It's not racist.
it's Anyway, it's funny, I posted I know gender, social and and if you're guessing the word is not what you think it is, obviously. Otherwise it wouldn't be funny, right? Well, it's the South Park, right? That's exactly what I was thinking. But Obama is not a MAGA either. We were the kind of people you hate and blank regress. And it's what Kyle's dad like that Kyle's that his dad's Jewish. right, right, right, right, right. Yeah. Now, that would be totally confusing.
It sounds like you're a wee bit anti-Semitic. They're insinuating the town's dad might be a racist. Maybe. This seems like the world we live in today. Isn't everybody anti-Semitic? Yeah, well, I mean, it sure seems that way. I didn't realize we were living in Nazi Germany today there. And if you're the president of a college, you can be anti-Semitic. You'll get booted unless you're black. And then, you know. No, no, no, it's. Yeah, Yeah. Well, she'll get booted eventually.
I think it's only going to escalate. It's only going to escalate. It's going to end up with not just her leaving, but a bunch of the board members leaving as well. It was Stans Dad, Randy. Correct. Randy is exactly the type to say something like that. And it was interesting that I didn't realize Harvard is one of these few, if not the only institution like that, that doesn't really rely on money coming in from their alumni.
Yeah, they've got a huge, huge endowment and so they're basically running off of interest payments. So it comes down to all the other universities when the big donors are like, I'm not sending you my millions. Like, you know, but there's much stronger pressure that's being implied right now. More and more people on Wall Street firms are signing a pledge to never hire anyone with a higher degree, which is interesting, which is basically going to make Harvard fire her.
Well, yeah, because the everybody of the students are gonna be like, well, then we're out of here. It would it would cause every why would you want to go to a school that guarantees that you're limiting your future employment? Well, if you only want to go out and be a protester, then that might be a great place to go. If you don't want to be gainfully employed, ever come to Harvard, guarantee your future or lack thereof. Are you okay if you fall off the chair?
Maybe you did with jeans down a block. What did you fall off the chair? What was that? No, that was a trap and garbage can. Are you walking while doing the show? Well, I have to get comfy on the chaise lounge here a little bit, so I stood up. No, that's never a good idea. I've got to stand up too. I forgot to grab my the pills that I take during the show. yeah. I'm like, we started early to entertain everybody. Calcium pills. It's a it's a metoprolol and. yeah, yeah.
That's good for your heart keeps everything it if I don't I mean the heart ticking races wouldn't do in this show if I thought well if you stop drinking caffeine every morning maybe you wouldn't know caffeine's good for you. And then the other stuff, that's the flex night, that's the fun stuff that allegedly I don't do that one. I don't know what that is.
That's the one that keeps the heart beating without all of the irregular rhythms allegedly in that was the one we had looked it up when I first started taking it. That's like, it's okay. It's one of those with the like the black label warnings from the the drug people. So, like, it's always fun when you're on something that's like Black Label. This is this is dangerous. And then the cardiologist is like, Yeah, but you're on such a small amount that it's not.
I mean, there's a big difference with any drug. I mean, even setting all everybody. I mean, you can handle a little then it's fine. Now, is there any good use benefit event all at all? I'm not aware. I think it's just to put people out for like an anesthetic or At this point, yes. I believe him, but I'll be right back. Yeah, well, I'll just keep talking. Yeah, We started the show about an hour ago in case you guys are wondering if you're coming in just now, You're late.
Not sure why y'all keep coming into the show late, but you know it is what it is. I know a few of the folks have been listening and even participating with their chit chat, and this posed no agenda i r c server that I'm not allowed into the there's that what else going on? I don't know how long Darren's going to be taking this drugs this weird is usually he's a little more professional and does it while he's talking.
So I have a new gadget coming, kind of a self purchased Christmas gift, I guess you could say if anyone's bought one of these before. It's a it looks like sunglasses and I can't remember the brand name and but it's got LCD screens inside and there's an HDMI and there's a USB-C cable that comes out from the back of the sunglasses that plugs into either your computer or a iPhone or whatever, and essentially gives you a connection to that device. So you can see a virtual screen.
So looking forward to it. It's I guess you could say it's kind of like a modernized version of the Google Glasses, although it doesn't have cameras on the outside. It's strictly for viewing. And it's not like VR glasses where you're, you know, you're moving your hands and you're spinning your head around and stuff. This thing is literally just for watching a screen, but it's 120 hertz, which makes it quick enough for gaming, which is cool, and it even works with a phone or tablet.
Not just the computer, which makes it very cool as well, because my rationalization, of course, for buying something like this is I can take it on an airplane with me when I travel and then instead of hunching over, trying to watch it like an iPad or a phone while I'm on the plane, I can just keep my head straight, then watch a giant virtual screen from my face. and you can watch the Taylor Swift Errors video. I can even watch things. I own that. Yeah, really? You can do more.
There's more video in the world besides that. I didn't know. Well, I'm not a member of a cult, so yes, there are. No, but sure, if you're in the cult, you're limited into what, Your consumption allowances? Yeah. You're not a member of a cult. Just a few plans. Yeah, that's correct. It's a much different thing. Much different. Yeah. You bought one of them, though? I did. I was hemming and hawing. I was trying to decide inflation by Black Friday and I said not to buy Black Friday.
And then like five days later I'm like, Fuck, I really want one. The price go up after Black Friday. Amazingly, the price did not go up after Black Friday. You see, this is how Black Friday works. They they raise the prices just before Black Friday to give you the 20% discount or more on Black Friday. And then the Black Friday sale ends and then they lower the regular price. It's amazing. It's almost predictable. It's Black Friday all month long. Right here.
I mean, at least there's a better product, I think. And they've been promising these kind of things for decades. You know, the floating television screen in your your in your vision, which, I mean, you can watch TV while walking down the street. Good luck with that. But, yeah, I don't know how well that's going to work, but this does have some cool features. Like one is you can it has basically LCD shutters on the outside so you can dim the sunglasses portion, you can dim the real world.
Yeah, you can, you can dim down to blackness the real world or turn, turn the dimming off and then have see through glasses that you can both, you know, actually use while you're walking and or driving or whatever. And watching a video on the hundred and screen side, it's a virtual hundred inch screen. It looks like 100 page. But how many feet away? Because, you know, 100 inch screen from five miles away looks very small. I'll tell you where I give them.
That's always been one of my complaints, is that they give you a too small a virtual screen, because that's true of VR glasses generally. It's like I'm sitting about two feet away from a 47 inch computer monitor. So it covers the majority of my vision when I'm in front of it. And a lot of these VR glasses you put them on and this crazy again is actually smaller than what I have. Without the VR you, that's no good.
But one of the other cool features of this thing other than blacking out the real world, is when it's plugged into a mac. You can actually, as you move your head left or right, it will actually show three computer monitors next to each other so that you can just by turning your head, basically see another monitor in the virtual form. So you're seeing a monitor that is actually there. And then two on one on each side that's not well, not none of the three are there. They're all in your glasses.
But you're you're by turning your head, you get extra screens all. Yeah. Which they show up as three separate monitors on the computer basically like an eye control panel. I mean, this still seems like a much more normal technology than the new. Was it better with that? Came out with the glasses that record again I mean I know Google has played with this and the when the Google Glass went into the real world, people just hated it.
Yeah. Because I think some reason people think that there's an interest in having this kind of what's the term for it, where you combine the virtual reality with reality. It's like the automated argument that augmented reality normally one segment, okay, you don't want to look at something and then trip and fall because there's something real there instead of a, you know, purple mushroom,
right? Yeah. No, Yeah, there was a big wooden table there, but we made it look like it was a nice green field. Yeah, exactly. So but like this gizmo and it's. And suddenly it's not as expensive as some of these crazy VR goggles. Obviously, there's less. It's 500 bucks. The VR goggles that I would get if I was getting VR goggles. There's like, they're like 2200 bucks. That's way too much money. Yeah, I would agree.
But then again, with only one good eye, that's well, it'd be half that amount for you. I guess they should have the reason that I would get those instead of the, the some thousand dollar ones that most people use is that I just I can't use something under 40. It's ridiculous. My real screen is 4k. Why would I want the fake screen in my goggles to be less than 4k? Yeah. And the the VR headsets that are forte, guess what? They're not for gaming.
They're for professional things like doing remote surgery. So, and they cost quite a bit more, but you can use it for gaming. There's no reason you couldn't use them for gaming. So yeah, we're getting there. But ultimately, I think we've talked about this before when things hit eight K, which incidentally the naming is all screwed up anyway because 4K is actually about 8 million pixel, but eight is going to be 60 million pixels.
And when we hit that, we have now surpassed resolution and there won't be any reason to go further because the eyes will not see any difference, which makes sense. Now, we've probably surpassed your AI vision, your current AI vision. At 480, you can see a little bit of a difference, but I was comparing at the same size because otherwise it's interesting when you have the 4K monitor with the amount of pixels that you have.
When you look at the video images now in there without being upsized, the difference between the old 480 and then the 720 1080 and then the four, it's amazing how much how many more pixels there are. But you realize that anything it is the upscaling because you can watch for 80 content on a big screen TV. It's just going to look a little washed out. Without the same crispness.
But I could see a difference on this 4K monitor because I may or may not have downloaded both the ten ADP and the 2160 version of the Taylor Swift concert. You mean out of. Yeah. And then flip back and forth and it's a go. Yeah. Okay I can I can see that yeah this there is definitely content but also keep in mind it's not just resolution it's also the encoding, correct.
Yeah. Because if some if you encode for 80 lossless and then you encode the 4K with a really high compression, you may want to prefer the for 80. Yes. The compression levels and the compression algorithms are getting way better. Yeah. Way better than they were back in the day. It's amazing how small some of these file sizes. I've had things where I'm like, Well, this can't even look halfway decent. And then you're like, Wow, it does. That's the new age, The age to 65.
Now, the latest of like the it's amazing the way the compression is working with these is yeah, it's not lossless right It's not the same thing as getting the Blu ray and having the unencrypted thing which yeah, a lot of people still poo poo. Like why would anybody watch over the air? Television is like, well, if you can get a signal and record it, it's pretty good. Yeah, it is. It's still all compressed. But the I think that's probably not nearly
as compressed as what you download and you're getting torn. Yes. Or when you're watching on your cable television, because the amount of bandwidth they have available to them is less. It still looks pretty damn good. Most people won't ever notice the difference, which is why it's funny when we're getting to this point in a few different technologies and audio hit this a while ago.
There's some crazy shit out there with the high res audio and put that in air quotes if you can where most people are never going to be able to hear a difference. Yep. And it's interesting because we're getting to that point, as you said with the video, there's a lot of things we're finally at the point where it's like, Well, how are you going to make this better? Because a lot of companies rely on the fact that I can come up with a new and a better product every five or ten years.
If you're TVs, if there's nothing is coming out, better not that people are watching TV anymore. No, a lot less are. But when these things hit that point, what do you do? You fight. You get to a point where it's like, wow, this crap that was made a hundred years ago is about the same as the stuff now where you look at what we had audio wise, you know, back in the 1940s, fifties, I mean when the the LP I don't think came out until the Frank Sinatra era.
So I think that was the fifties you know when the first long playing records really came out. It's like you think about it and how much technology has changed, but we're almost getting to the point to where why are you going to change? What more do you need to do with audio? CD quality is good enough for 99.9% of the things, and I'm one of these crazy people that has done a bunch of testing because a lot of the same stuff is now available in the ultra high rez.
And even with the little daisies, you know, I mean, I understand you can spend tens of thousands of dollars, but I've got a cute little DAC, you know, headphone amplifier that was a few hundred bucks plugging that in with good headphones and listening to a silly version of something. And then the high rez every now and then. That's almost, I think in your mind you can convince yourself,
Yeah, unless you're doing a double blind test, it doesn't count. No. Because, well, if you know what's coming, you are colored in that way. You know, I'll tell you, the biggest thing that I know is a difference between live performance and audio. And this is keep in mind, you and I listen to very different music. So when I. Well, you're all trance all the time, right?
Yeah. All trance all the time in opera And back when I used to have a season tickets to the Minnesota Opera, I, you know, I got to experience a lot of live performances and them when you listen to that same piece of music at home, you know, even on the high quality set up, the biggest thing that I notice is most recordings are not by neural. right. And when you're listening to it live, you can't help but to hear it by ear because you have two ears.
And so unless they go to the trouble of actually doing recordings by neural before doing any of the editing, it's never going to sound the same. It's to it may sound good, but it's it's not the same as live. But if you're listening to a better recording, it's really hard to come up with something that sounds different because it's the same exact goddamn thing. Well, in there are the microphones designed strictly for that
which look like a head, which is they look like, Yeah, and they have ears. Yes. Because they, they want to completely simulate the the bouncing around of the sound wave before they come into the mic because a part of the sound is the venue in which you're recording it in. So if you are recording a symphonic orchestra. Yep, there are two totally different ways to record it. That would be one where you just put that in your sweet spot.
Yeah, and let them play live and then you capture it that way where most things that we hear that are released music wise, they're going into a soundboard, and then every instrument's got its own channel and then they mix that to where it sounds good. Yeah, but, but even that, like you could record every instrument by nearly independently yet generally don't that for a live performance.
But yes, you could. Yeah. And then you could just add one more factor to the mixing, which is you'd have to balance stereo for every single track independently. And I will be doing this for us in no time. I'm sure. I'm sure we'll have some fun musical performances and mixers coming out of the theater.
But it's interesting when you get live performances that are done in huge arenas because you can't help but get the reverb back in and you don't get a you don't get a clean signal when you're recording something in a venue of that size because you just can't and you may enjoy that particular sound better. And that's the thing is when you're recording it in a live arena setting and it's it's true of all music, but it's especially true of things that don't use amplifiers like orchestras, right?
yeah. Where the sound in the arena that you hear as a listener is is going to be very different from what you would do in a studio recording because you are getting the reverb, you are getting the sound bouncing around, you're getting the the sound being absorbed by all the people sitting in the audience that are wearing clothes that absorb sound. How dare they? So it's a it's going to be a very unique sound.
And there are people out there that I've heard on public radio in the areas that will be able to listen to recordings and tell you where that particular piece was recorded. You can hear the room. Yeah, because they've heard so many different in that same room that they know what that room sounds like. I'm betting back in the day you picked up one.
I'm sure there have been ones before and since, but the the one that went viral, for lack of a better term, back in the day, the Benedictine monks, when they came out with the chant CD. Yeah, that's all about the room, baby. Yeah, all about the room. And certainly if you're singing in a stone building, you're going to have a very different sound than if you're singing in a sound booth. Yeah. The reverberations are what make it? Yeah. Playing like they go on forever.
Yes. Yeah, they're like five second reverb. Well, that's the beauty of it. And that's what all these recording studios tried to replicate. And some of them go to great lengths. I remember being down at Blackbird Studios in Nashville and they walked me into the one reverb chamber and it's like, Yeah, this is the ceiling of it could come down from like six foot to like 50 foot. It's like it was literally the ceiling would move. It's like that mile. It's pretty wild.
I mean, that's the legs you'll go to for the right. Sound like you all you're looking for these things that happen out in nature. Yeah. And sometimes you can replicate them, sometimes you can't. Sometimes people put a little bit too much in. But yeah, when you hear that, it's like, yeah, that's what makes it sound live. We're hearing somebody play the same song in their bedroom with carpeting and, you know, clothes all over the place. Well, it's a very dead room then.
It is a completely different sound. And we didn't make the CSB mad today. It was DG Guru who was mad that if these people are going to start early, what's the point of going into the troll room? And then he left the troll world. these people. I tell you, these people just get no breaks at all. I think he met with the Russians. I don't know. It's quite possibly it could be the Russians. So you're you're a I'm just an innocent bystander. Yeah. You're just standing there groaning. What the heck?
It's like, I know nothing. I'm Shultz I'm. Or are you in solitary Russian now? yeah, I think so. Yeah. It's not bad, but Putin apologist Well, Putin, give me a rank. Can I be arrested? It's funny, you don't even hear the word Ukraine come up much anymore in the news. Not ever since Gaza. Interesting how that worked.
I liked the story today was how the the nice folks in the terrorist were using baby dolls along with recordings of children crying to try to the Israeli forces to enter places so they could then kill them like nothing, like using kids and and like, you're going to help somebody in need. Like, this is why this war is never going to end well.
And literally, anything that you can say that that Hamas is doing that's bad, you will immediately get the Hamas apologists out there, a.k.a Jew haters, which come out as well. You can't prove that Jews lie all the time. That's clearly false, right? You can't prove that they're actually doing it if IDF says so, it's clearly a lie. So it's the opposite of them doing it. It's probably the the Jews are probably the ones using the dolls and the crying sounds to blow up Hamas.
That's probably what they're doing when the video is released by Hamas. Like, Well, no, that's not really Hamas. Yeah, exactly. And it's amazing how much these people really love the terrorists. I really I'm shocked. Honestly, it's I have made an offer and I'm happy to repeated it for as long as people would like. I will buy a one way ticket to anybody that wants to go to Gaza. I will literally pay for your ticket as long. Please, please. From the United States.
One way to Gaza. What you have to, though, support them locally instead of supporting them while you're in the U.S. but you also have to put them on the plane and watch them fly away. Yeah, right, Right. A ticket that's actually used, not just the ticket, you're going to catch them, You go and then tell me how it is over there. And that way, if you're one of these people in the LGBTQ community with the, you know, the purple hair and the, you know, whatever they call them.
Yeah. Got to have the nose ring. It's beyond the nose rings. It's the baseline rings. Yeah. The facial tattoos, the big wide things they put in their ear. Now, if you're one of those, I want you to go down there and see how you're treated. Because this is, again, the concept of somebody walking into an area that is maybe not the best in Chicago. And again, coming up to Rob or whatever. no, I'm BLM, man. I love you guys. And then they get their ass kicked and Rob, because it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter who you are. Criminals are going to be criminal. The in this concept like, well, no, no, we're supporting you Hamas. It's like yeah but we still want you dead. So we don't really care if you're supporting us or not. Your support is not needed. No, they want your support, but they'll also throw you off a building. Yeah. Tomato. Tomato. Have you watched any of those? Any of which it's pretty gruesome of the the the dehumidification.
They're doing. No. Yeah. The Hamas does not does not particularly like the homosexuals and their solution to convert them to not be homosexuals is to throw them off a building. If they bounce, they are okay. If not, yeah, yeah. If they survive, then they're no longer homosexual. And if they die, well, they die. Isn't that kind of how they used to deal with the witches back in Salem? Bombing the good in the water? Yeah, yeah, yeah. If, if they.
If you tie a a brick to a wedge and throw her in in the water, if she thinks she's a witch, if she floats then she's not a witch. Does anybody float. Nope. You go. Well this proves that they had 100% correct conviction. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you know, they give them a chance to float up with a brick. But to them, it is interesting that, you know, I heard only witches will burn in bonfires. You should try that. You're not a witch. No problem. Just walk out.
Our favorite, check off the bingo card. Bill O'Reilly's book, Killing the Witches. yeah. Which I have not read. But from what I understand, he makes the connection between the Salem Witch trials and how today's cancel culture is pretty much just that reincarnate. I mean, they're not killing people literally. Yeah, but they are showing you. I mean, we have plenty of examples of BLM killing people. Well, that's also true. But you're killing people in a different way.
You're killing their character, you're killing their careers, killing their ability to make money because, you know, we're going to shut you off from the banks and we're going to keep you from communicating. We're going to make you an outcast. It's very interesting that, again, people that do not understand or know about history, that's how these things are allowed to continue as a race, making the same mistakes over and over and over.
You know, it all comes down to a very simple thing, and that is allowing beliefs to effect reality. People believed that women of loose morals were witches, and the best way to not have your husbands hanging around them is to kill the witches. Yeah, take care of the problem. And right now, people believe that anybody who's white is a racist. And the best way to take care of that is to make them not be alive. Get rid of everybody that's white, that nobody will be racist. Exactly.
So by definition, only white people can be racist. That's the definition of so. Consequently, that's what they want to do. And I think if you just take the beliefs out of any ability to enforce and we're going to have a much more peaceful society. Well, I think this all with the the theory that the M RNA vaccines are all making people into docile creatures.
No, they were docile if they took their marinate to begin with, if somebody said it's going into the its breaking down their brains, they didn't have one. They took it. You're like, what? Yeah, what brain is it? Break it down. There was nothing there. Yeah, that's it. None of these work, none of these make sense to me because the only thing that the vaccine did is it demonstrated how many are in pieces and how many are actual humans. And what's the latest count on this?
Because it's probably not a lot of us. But I'll tell you what the they're they're testing for, whether when you're donating blood these days and whether you have pure blood or whether you have tainted American blood, they're put into separate locations. What about the folks like me who never took an RNA but took the the other old fashioned vector viral? We're still good. Yeah, well, I think that was just salt water. Probably you.
Probably It probably. Yeah. Yeah. But the m RNA stuff, is it there? You know, quietly trying to isolate fluids from people that cause, you never really know what's changed. yeah. Long term. What are the effects? It's. Look, it's the same thing as Roundup, right? So when Monsanto came out with Roundup Ready, genetically engineered corn and, and wheat and other things, they basically, they created something that sounds like a good deal because you can use poison on it to kill all the pests.
But the plant cell growth rate, that's a good thing. But in the process they came up with a a species that infects all the other species. So if you have your neighbor growing Monsanto plants and then you're growing regular plants within the season, your plants, like any seeds that start sprouting from your field, are going to be tainted by the Monsanto ones. And so you're going to like whether you want to or not, you're going to have Roundup resistant plants growing.
And of course, one took it one step further and actually started charging people for illegally using their genetically engineered plants without paying for them. So and again, it's like one of these things where just because your neighbor is growing the stuff through wind blowing pollen, you can get your plants to start having that genetic material on them and then they come knocking on your door, on your door asking for money. That's crazy. So the world crazy. Yeah. So. Well, yeah, that's true.
That part of it. That's definitely true. But I don't know if it's the pendulum I think is starting to swing back ever so slightly, but that still means we're in for a hell of a next few years. And we have an election within a year. We do indeed. And I got a question for you. This is this is actually interesting. So as opposed to everything else on the show, I know, right? Budweiser, Bud Light, there seems to be a bit of a war brewing between the OC.
Bud Light has taken action and it's time to forgive them contingent and the never Bud Light contingent. There's a breakdown coming. Yes. So I don't know how much you're aware of it, but Bud Light, after firing the gal that the campaign, obviously they got rid of Dale Mulvaney. They had a few other people that were fired or quit that were involved in this thing. And essentially and they've lost a quarter of their value of the company is gone and their sales are about 50% of where they used to be.
And the latest thing they did about a month ago, I think, was they signed a $100 million deal with Dana White. All right. To be the sponsor for their slaps thing. But I still don't understand I don't understand how that's the sport U.S. overall or that they sell the substance, the slap thing, you know, where the men stand next to each other and then slap each other. I've never seen this. This is a thing. You're kidding me. No. Okay, You have to look this up. Do I?
It is insane because it's crazy. Imagine somebody that looks like a weightlifter. It's like slap fight. Yeah. Is it like how I met your mother when it was slap? Bet you have to watch this. It like big dudes, right? Wind up fully and slap each other on the side of the face. This is not like a woman slapping a man kind of slap where you can shake it off in about 2 seconds. This is like it's an open hand. But I think it's it's going to feel a lot worse than a boxing glove.
yeah. More. There's more. There's more. There's. Yeah, it's a bigger. There's less padding. Yeah, there's less padding. And it's a larger little area. Yeah. And they were in there fully. And some of these guys, I don't know how their jaws don't get broken. I don't know how their brains don't like flop around inside their heads. I don't know how their eyeballs stay from rupturing. I'm telling you. Watch this. And I mean, I was shaking my head going, this is this is insane.
Like your seat is safe compared to this. And anyways, so for that new sport that Dana White seems to be popularizing and apparently it's big in Russia, which is, you know, news to me, I was happy to come here. I could see a bunch of drunk guys slapping each other, I guess, but yeah, with that one I do that, Yeah. What part of the body that specifically you don't want to traumatize? It's your head, right?
Which is why I think it's kind of funny when you look at stuff like the NFL is like I think the NFL, if you want to talk about racism and they're like one of the most woke organizations on the planet right now. And like, you know, the NFL is basically watching a bunch of big black dudes getting brain damage. Yeah. Yeah. But imagine instead of like NFL, you have a head butting sport, right? Where that's all you do. You just butt heads. That's the whole sport.
That's essentially what the slap thing is. Interesting. Yeah, it's nuts. But anyway, so you got $100 million contract with Bud Light, and now he's like, Bud Light learned their lesson. They understand who their base is. They are effectively making an apology by now, promoting something that is very pro conservative. I don't know why the slap, I think is supposed to be conservative because of a little, you know, is that Dana way each other? I guess Dana White is is marginally conservative.
He's getting 100 million. So some balls to be I guess everything is good now. So Dana White's obviously all in. He's getting money for it. Yeah. Money is the then he had Kid Rock and that said, well, this is it. Remember, too, that I had the famous video of shooting up Bud Light fans. Right. And he says they took a hit They they they understand they they went completely against their base and now they're supporting something that their base enjoys not playing, which again, I don't understand.
But so Kid Rock's on board Tim Pool watched the those videos and and said, you know, there's people out there that just want to basically say, never bud, but I'll tell you what, dies. The company is not going to go out of business, right? It's too big of a company to go out of business. Yes. Their sales are down. They have plenty of other products that they make other than Bud Light and Bud Light all said and done went down to about half sales.
And now it's starting to pick back up again because people are starting to not care. So here's your two options Conservative. You can do nothing and say Never Bud and watch Bud Light recover fully and people start saying, Yeah, see it totally didn't matter. Conservatives can go and be bitchy little girls and not buy Bud Light, but ultimately it doesn't hurt the company or we can take our win and say that they got rid of the people we didn't like.
They put money into supporting Dana White's organization, knowing that people in that organization and Dana are conservative and they're outspokenly conservative so. Yes, we got what we wanted. We got that company to change its direction, at least as far as marketing is concerned, to start not spending money with the woke causes and start burning money with us. So it's time to start drinking Bud Light again. And then you have another hand.
Guys like Matt Walsh from the What's a Woman movie saying It is not time to start drinking Bud Light. And if if all it takes for conservatives to back down from a boycott is to have some company get $100 million for a marketing budget that isn't woke, then we we don't know what the hell we're doing. Like we're never going to be able to do any protest because frankly, the reason so many people quit buying Bud Light is because in all reality, Bud Light tastes like shit, right?
I'll just say the reasons to buy Bud Light protests to do because you're giving up something that's not very good. You're not giving up like your favorite awesome beer. You're giving up the shit beer, right? The beer you probably weren't buying anyway, except with friends were coming over and you're like, Fuck them. I'm not giving them the good stuff. That's like protesting a generic store brand, right? such a such a tough protest. And I don't think anybody this is the other weird thing.
It wasn't like they went after the company as a whole. I mean, this is kind of like boycotting the big Mac, but ordering three Quarter Pounder with cheese. And it's like, what do you do when it's nothing? Exactly. And so mad steak is like, no, never, never. Bud Light. We cannot change our minds if we can't demonstrate that they can just simply buy us off with this stuff. And unless the company goes out of business. There's no there's no stopping of this boycott.
Now, I think probably the math crowd is in the minority and simple side isn't going to be in. The majority of people will start buying Bud Light for their friends who they don't like. What do you think? I think a company is not a person. I think that even if it is a person, the United States as a whole usually maybe not anymore. But for most of our life, the comeback story was one of the greatest things ever.
So somebody that disgraced themselves did something, and then everybody rallies around them and lifts them back up. In the case of the company boycott, I think it is always somewhat iffy because since day one of this story, I have been asking the question, well, how did this happen? How many people inside of Bud Light were really a part of this? And of course, the people on the one side were like, well, obviously everybody in the company must have known like, no, that's not how companies work.
That's really not how companies work. You could have one marketing person that put something out in this case makes a can and sends it out to somebody that causes this kind of damage. From day one, I was like, This would be a great way to take a company down from inside and get a gig with them and then do something that you know is going to piss their fan base off and then walk away laughing because how do you know that the person that did this wasn't hired?
Yeah, but you still going to lose your job and. Right. But they don't care because what they wanted to do in the first place. Well they but they probably do care about like making a living for the next 40 years after that. No they'll get hired by some other woke company. They're like, Yeah, I got Bud Light. I got Bud Light, ma'am. I got them to hire me. And then I fucking bombed them. This was great. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I don't know, man. I think it's so hard.
I think the easier explanation is there is no plot. It's just companies don't give a shit What? The viewpoints of the people they hired. And this is and I've worked with a lot of companies over the years, hundreds of companies. And to really keep a job, I mean, that's not what it means. But okay, sure, sure. I've worked with hundreds of companies in the last three years. Yeah, well, not less. Three years in in the last 30 years. that's true. Year old.
I am, yeah. And I've, I've been a consultant pretty much my entire life was no joke. I mean, I get it. Consultant. You work with a lot of companies. Yeah. Yeah. That's like a benefit. And yeah, it makes me a much higher paid person than the people that stay in one company. so bottom line is, most companies want to avoid all questions relating to a person's politics, and I think that's wrong. I think that's silly.
I Think you ought to ask who they voted for at the first question of the interview with anybody that much. This is exactly what John C Dvorak of No Agenda has said. You don't want to get a culture of people that will infiltrate your company and then take it over. Yeah, you want to hire people that have a similar mentality to yourself. Yeah, you want people that are good. You're like, Here's what, here's our motto, here's our credo, here's what we're trying to do as a company. Is this now a lie?
Luckily, a lot of people from the opposition side will actually broadcast their politics through facial tattoos, nose piercings and weird colored hair so you can automatically just not hire any of those. But for the ones that don't broadcast it, you can still dig in with some questions. I mean, if you're if you've got the balls to just ask them who they voted for, that's that's a very easy one because the ones that'll have indignation,
that's great. Well, that's none of your business. Well, great. I appreciate your playing their story right there. Thank you. Then they'll file a lawsuit. They can't. They can. That's the beauty of it, is that you can only file a lawsuit based on five criteria that that.
